Excellent analysis! Thank you for making these complex connections so clear. Your insight on the externalization of thinking and systemic disconnection is realy important for understanding our present.
I’ve been looking forward to this post. My hope is that the externalization of abstract actually forces us step down the ladder. Yes we must be strategic thinkers, but beyond that, why not allow ourselves to be fully back in the body and present moment? AI has made me question basic assumptions — do we even need to know how to read or can we move back to an oral/verbal world, which was the basis of the human experience for the vast, vast majority of our history. Writing was invented by accountants. Perhaps the revolution against an “accounting world” has merits? I for one am so ready to externalize my thinking, which has often served to get me in trouble…
Yes I agree, there is potential that with outsourced abstraction, we can spend more time getting out of our heads and back into contact with real life, real moments, real people. 🤞

Hi Mino!
