Thoughts: like we are adding new elements to our perception, but still using old frameworks, rigid and resistant to change, and so instead of the new elements (eg AI) falling into place within a restructured mental map they exercise undue impact on the structure, basically contorting it - north is no longer north metaphorically speaking - the mental map is distorted by these elements that don’t fit into it, because the element we are trying to fit into the map affects the map itself. Picture a magnet with a too large gravitational field (in terms of meaning) pulling everything into a different shape - and so it isn’t a question of how we talk about the new element only, it’s a question of how we talk about everything under the influence of the new element. Like being intoxicated? Seeing through a looking-glass?
Second thought: now more NB who is saying what, the context, as the article says…..what would orient us otherwise? Earth, senses, agency. Have we given these away bit by bit, in the name of choice and opportunity and potential and possibility, so that we are focussed on guidance outside ourselves, or we just took the guidance outside such as religion, parents etc and replaced it with pseudo-choice and are therefore happy to place our power in someone out there, still believing this is our choice we are freely-making and to see the power we have given away we would have to see the whole context - all the micro give-aways of our power.

instagram.comHow do we talk about power without overpowering.
Feels like we are so attached to power meaning overpower. Then we try to compare it with other things like wisdom. (article by Kaspar) on LinkedIn/Illuminem.
But then isn't wisdom also power?
