AI is accelerating everything, but human agency decides what’s built, how fast we move, and what values we keep. Here’s a clear, practical case for turning power into wisdom.


How imagination and storytelling turn ordinary moments into shared aliveness, bridging people through attention, empathy, and honest meaning.


A field guide to climbing Plato’s Line in the AI era, use imagination with constraints, story, empathy, and critical thinking so shadows turn into models, tests, and understanding.
