we should directly tie the success of our technologies to how much they enable our humanity (as in, our positive human characteristics), and use this criteria to evaluate past, present and future technologies.

I often use the analogy of “AI for social good” being like creating a tank first and THEN being like oh let’s see how we can use this tank for “social good.”

We need ritual technology. Technology designed for ritual use.
Why? Most of the software we use daily is designed to engagement-max. Social media feeds, loot boxes, compulsion loops, gang gang yes yes yes ice cream so good. You’re caught in a feedback loop with the algorithm, and you are the squishiest part of that loop.

As Ari Melenciano, a recent guest speaker at RADAR’s Into: Our Centaur Future, has written: “We’re currently unaware of many aspects of our own psyches yet are automating its design through technologies. The better we know ourselves, the better we’re able to design systems, technologies, lenses that intentionally empower our lights vs. blindly... See more
