In the not-too-distant past, I came face to face with my own mortality after a life-altering diagnosis. What pained me most wasn’t just the unfinished work or unanswered questions—I realized I was about to leave this world without truly understanding my purpose.
I felt powerless, caught between the uncertainty of my situation and my inability to communicate it clearly to those around me. This feeling of helplessness stemmed from a lack of knowledge, from the realization of how small I was in the face of forces beyond my control.
However, I also came to appreciate that the little I did know was incredibly valuable. It was the result of years of research, insights, and the hard work of others before me. Over my 44 years, I had learned so much but shared very little. And that, I realized, was the one thing I could truly do to leave a mark—pass on what I know.
The experience taught me that if there was anything worth motivating me to keep going, it was curiosity—about what I could still discover, and, more importantly, the drive to share that knowledge. For years, I had made the mistake of thinking that what I knew didn’t matter, that AI and technology would handle it all. But no—AI still needs sources of knowledge, and original insights can only come from us, humans.
So here I am, ready to write and share as much as I can with anyone willing to learn. By doing so, I hope to help others avoid the many mistakes we often make due to lack of information, or worse, misinformation. My thesis touches on this topic as well.
