Ever feel like you’re just one part of a much bigger mind? And no, I don’t mean Facebook’s algorithm… I mean, are we all just extensions of each other?

What does ‘the interconnected self’ even mean in a world where AI might know us better than we know ourselves? Are we just nodes in a giant network, or do we each have a unique ‘self’ that’s ours alone?

Let’s flip it: Imagine you wake up tomorrow and AI predicts every move you’ll make that day. Creepy or convenient? Would you feel free, or like you’re just a cog in the digital cosmos?

Let’s try this out. Picture three versions of yourself: The one who loves AI making life easy, the one who’s terrified of losing control, and the one who’s just trying to keep up. Who’s really ‘you’? Can they all be ‘you’?

Now let’s twist it further: What if the AI, in knowing us, actually unites us? Are we more connected because of AI, or more isolated?

Today’s challenge: Think about one thing you rely on AI or technology for. Then ask yourself, what would you miss if that technology didn’t exist? Is it freedom? Or have we just traded freedom for efficiency?
