Hi folks!

Kris here, checking in after an introspective weekend in California helping prepare the Future in review conference that kicks off today. I want to share a couple posts and explore some personal philosophies and practices I’ve been finding helpful.

The first outlines 20 Ways to Resist AI's Mind Enslavement - provocative title, I know! But it highlights ethical, mindful ways we can relate to emerging tech, from digital minimalism to supporting open-source projects. I don't necessarily view AI as "enslaving", but do think critically engaging with it is vital.

My latest piece outlines actionable ways to ethically and consciously relate to AI's growing presence, from digital minimalism to supporting open source projects

The other idea I’m exited to share is a prayer that was give to me this summer called "Most Benevolent Outcomes" - setting intentions each day for the highest good and most positive outcome in any situation. Whether it's your morning coffee or making AI more harmonious, articulating desires can be powerful! I share how I use this in my own life and some of the prayers I say each morning.

“I pray for the most bountiful blessings and highest good for all beings in this moment and always.”

In a world that often feels chaotic and unpredictable, many of us seek anchors that provide stability and guidance
