Inspired by Dr. Alex Gómez-Marín (Essentia Foundation): attention economies, AI and transhumanist projects are increasingly colonising how we think, decide and relate — threatening cognitive sovereignty and the future of human consciousness.
We live in the age of accumulated wisdom. Ancient texts digitised, philosophical traditions catalogued, psychological insights packaged into consumable frameworks. But wisdom was never meant to be possessed; it was meant to be lived.
We live in a time drowning in data yet starved of wisdom. Over the past year, I’ve explored what wisdom really means, not as theory, but as lived practice. This essay offers a map from selfhood to flourishing, and a way to reclaim what makes us human.
Self-improvement culture tells us to keep grinding, upgrading, performing. But what if the chase for “better” is the very thing wounding us? In this essay, I explore walking off the treadmill of optimisation and into wholeness, a life faithful to itself, not a market.
Every day won’t be easy. It can still be good. Coaching Philosophia is my practice of meeting reality with attention, body, and care, clarity over performance, strength that serves, small rituals that return us to belonging, one true step at a time.
The Red Queen forces us to run faster just to stay in place. But the Cheshire Cat knows better: You can't lose a game you refuse to play. While the machine exhausts itself commanding an empty board, we're learning to vanish, grinning at the absurdity, living lives that can't be optimized.
A quiet ache runs through modern life, a homesickness for something we can’t name. The Great Forgetting explores how we lost touch with our natural rhythms, shared wisdom, and sense of belonging, and why remembering them might just save us.
A quiet reflection on what it means to live well, honestly, imperfectly, and with heart. No hype, just a handful of lessons from a life still unfolding. If you’re in need of a gentle reminder, this one’s for you. A Gentle Guide to Being Human.
