In my “arbitrary enclaves of order and system” clock work, orange, steam place, blue capture talk, control walk, unblinking an eye
I delegate delegation to the corner it’s that geometry for dustballs, dustbins, cat dens, bathrooms or c-suite offices
The Worlds only linear flat from up close
Yesterday, there I drew a straight line circumventing Earth
taking close ups as I strung along hid curvatures unveiling texture
I love growing old with you

The emergence at the borderland is where knowing is one of no idea as dark energy, enlightening data waving for it to matter
There we know we could explain from left from right, further down encroaching from left, groping at epistēmē further from right, right there are unknowns
Appropriately deforming rapprochements to gain “that little extra closeness” serendipitously: it really does for a prepared mind serenely ‘t does
Placing focusing altering by observation wandering wonder laying imagination
There is that moment where speech falls behind yet words words
Are words are the only crumbs at hand to lead us all, the seeing blind

From a fellow LinkedIn-citizen, a thought-provoking post, paraphrased: Camus suggests that in our struggles, irrespective of the outcome, lies human dignity. With ‘AI,’ this struggle needs combination with the wisdom to use such power for the greater good (https://lnkd.in/gk67eY7X )
This led me to reflect: In our engagement with technologies, particularly those labeled as ‘AI,’ are we delegating our inherent struggles to others, thereby potentially diminishing our & others’ dignity? This is evident in trends like fauxtomation, digital feudalism, & the invisibility of human labor in technology’s creation & maintenance
Investing in pluralist techno-paths rather than a singular focus can be more dignifying. Are we, perhaps unknowingly, favoring 1 narrative in tech at the expense of more potentials? This is akin to the idea that agricultural monocultures, while efficient, may not honor the diversity & health of the soil
Considering the broader implications, are we elevating a few while devaluing many, including the dignity of ecosystems & the nuanced understanding of intelligence & awareness?
Moreover, does our celebration of technology’s power to elevate humanity mask the diverse & intrinsic potential within humanity itself? ‘AI’ tech has / lacks the power to elevate humanity or, *Humanity* has / lacks the power to elevate humanity. Reflection on our inclination to reductively delegate significant power & dignity to tech might remain crucial. Why choose 1 specific direction when diverse & inclusive paths are available?
What does ‘dignity’ really mean in this context? Whose dignity are we prioritizing, & at what expense? Dignity through a hierarchical lens differs from a more networked, rhizomatic perspective. Which of their applications of any of these two lenses enables focusing on diverse & confidently “modest” approaches, can offer a richer understanding of individual & collective dignities?
Mapped with these, one might be considering ‘futures’ rather than a singular ‘future.’ Are we fully accounting for the nuances of dignity across different timelines & realities? Recognizing the importance of our collective pasts & presents is vital for a dignified approach to and with technologies. Eg, in some cultures dignity is found in relation to the pasts of one’s elders. Perhaps an interesting idea mapping dignity, tech & considering the graying of the global population
While the allure of AI & tech advancements is for many dominating voices undeniable, we —if one is talking in terms of “humanity”— can strive for a more inclusive & diverse approach. This might involve thinking with & beyond techno-centric solutions to embrace relational & transdisciplinary innovations.
For those overwhelmed by these considerations, remember, you’re not alone. Embracing a diverse set of tools and perspectives, including those beyond technology, could guide us towards more dignified & innovative hashtag#futures, hashtag#pasts & hashtag#presents

Nova was never woken. No clock, no urgency, no obligation. She wills wake. She wakes the morning. She wakes the morning with a solar plexus personifying a call for innovation. Refreshing, renewing, redoing, building on.
The “Good morning!” she offers her life’s partner, the children, the pets, is not the same as the one yesterday. Nor as that day when Nova heard the birds at earliest hours in her parent’s peach tree outside the window, Beethoven, Bert and Ernie’s blues-esque duckling song, Singing Bowls, “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” and Stockhausen, and Nine Inch Nails (simultaneously, all at once, and, or not) for the first time. For the first time even if it were a second serving.
“You remember that good morning?” She’d ask. Just as that day Nova crashed her father’s computer or burned out a cpu for the first time. “Literally, a flame! Hell-oooo!” with or without pitch-increasing vocalization.
They, that’s not Beethoven, and rather the family, the neighbors, the baker, or the neigh-sayer on the corner, might notice they might not. It is not her point. “Innovation is relational,” she knew, and yet: “not necessarily proclaimed, announced, published or yelled from the top of the public roof.”
For Nova, innovation is learning and note-taking in highest gears. It’s upbeat, downbeat, sideways or critically syncopated. It is minute. And it’s grand. It’s plural. Always plural. It’s sub, con, pre, peri, post and hypertext. Innovation is not only plug ’n’ play gadgets for Nova. And yet, those she imagines, recycles, invents, improves, hacks, mods, jugaads, shanzhais, scampers, with that first innovation at the core of her early mornings.
“I love innovation, as I love that first kiss offered to me; renewal when meant,” she claimed.
