I find it the image the AI generated for "what is the meaning of life?" fascinating. Why? Well, because it seems to be built from what seems to be a masculine archetype of Progress, that the meaning is goal-oriented, moving down a path toward a goal.

No, don't get me wrong. I think such an outlook can provide much meaning for our lives. For example, I know having a goal to write a novel and then, a decade later, achieving it, gave me much meaning.

But my sense of things is that we are being called to settle into, to reveal, what is already there within us, a more feminine approach. A slow down seems to be the path forward, if you will. I had a few recent psychedelic experiences which reinforced this notion---no need to speed up, Bryan, you are doing VERY well by taking things slow, appreciate what you have and this very abundant world you live in!

There was a recent interview on Rebel Wisdom, which I'll link below, of a man who has been working in the coaching industry that speaks to this very insight. In this sense, then, is it possible the AI is behind those of us humans who are intuiting that this is the direction forward? It''s worth pondering, IMHO.

As always, I appreciate your work, Jules and thank you for sharing it. Oh...and I actually really like the dog/lanscape art! (And I'd like to mention that you turned me onto creating AI-generated art via this blog earlier in the summer and it really is a ball!).
