The AI apocalypse may not arrive with killer robots.

It may arrive with excellent formatting and a button that says, “Want me to finish that thought for you?”

Modern life isn’t just busy.
It’s cognitively expensive.
Uncertainty, constant decisions, and digital systems tax the brain in ways we rarely name. I’m curating essays that explore that cost.

Uncertainty drains more mental energy than difficulty.
A vague two-line email can exhaust you faster than a 50-page report. Here’s the neuroscience behind it.

I”m intrigued by long term sustainability of this choice. This couple is in their 50s. I’d like to see a follow up in 10 years. Im guessing they are back on dry land. Do you agree? https://t.co/d84xRaDqbv
