Remember those clunky library card catalogs and thumbing through encyclopedias for answers? The internet swept all that away. Yet, in gaining unprecedented access to information, something vital may have been subtly lost. Gone are the days when questions bloomed from quiet musings in book-lined stacks.

Yes! Curiosity is a cure and a vital part of our repertoire of responses to the effects of the megamachine. We can and do use AI to feed the flame of curiosity.

We need our highest discernment to pilot through what's ahead.
