Here Comes the Bright AI Train. So Why Am I Crying?

Recently I started feeling as if I am at the train station again – same anxiety, same faint grief, same faint exhilaration. Looking around, tasting the air, I sense that I am not the only traveler in that train station. Many people feel the same – the time is changing.

The Transcendent Function: Nature’s Slow Method of Psychic Healing and Transformation

The conflict can be external (a marriage that feels dead but won’t end, a job that pays well but hollows them out, a family that demands loyalty at the cost of truth). Or it is purely internal: one part of them wants to stay safe and keep the peace; another part is suffocating and ready to burn everything down. The two sides have been locked in stalemate for months or years. Libido is blocked. Nothing moves.
