The Questions Technology Can't Answer For Us
We built machines to solve problems. But the biggest problems were never technical — they're questions we keep outsourcing to code.
When did we stop deciding?
Algorithms now choose our news, our matches, our credit. But at what point did we hand over the wheel? The question isn't whether AI can decide — it's whether we remember how to.
The illusion of choice
We scroll, we swipe, we click. Every action feels like agency, but the menu was written by someone else — or something else.
The real question is not whether machines think but whether men do.
What are we optimizing for?
Engagement. Efficiency. Growth. These are the gods we've coded. But if we can't name what we actually value, we'll keep building systems that value nothing we care about.
The black box we live in
We trust recommendations we can't inspect, from models we can't read, trained on data we never agreed to give. And still we ask: 'Why did it do that?'
Who gets to be human?
As AI gets better at mimicking us, the line blurs. But maybe the better question is: what parts of being human are we willing to let atrophy because a machine does it faster?
Can we build without losing ourselves?
Every tool reshapes its maker. The plough changed our backs, the clock changed our minds, the feed changed our attention. What will AI change that we haven't noticed yet?
