If AI ever allows us to understand ourselves truly, it will not be because these algorithms captured the mechanical essence of the human mind. It will be because they liberated us to forget about optimization and to instead focus on what truly makes us human: loving and being loved.
Dr. Kai-Fu Lee

The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light.


— James Baldwin, Nothing Personal

So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. — Jorge Luis Borges, After a While
