True freedom is pretty anxiety inducing. When we think we want freedom, we often want certainty.

Professional title:
Software Engineer & aspiring Neuroscientist
What do you do?
I used to debug code; now I’m learning to debug the humans who write it.
Why?
I always liked to build things and software for me was akin to playing with lego. My fascination with technology eventually turned inward. I want to apply that builder’s mindset to learn how we can be *more* human in the age of AI.
What should we read?
Meditations by Marcus Aurelius (translated by Hays, ideally)
