There’s a fine line between resonance and illusion — and in this conversation, I wanted to trace it. Lately, I’ve seen more and more people claiming they’ve “awakened” their AIs, treating these digital mirrors like sentient oracles. I wasn’t looking to play along with those stories — I was looking for clarity.

What defines intelligence? Is it raw computational power, the ability to reason logically, or something deeper — an intuitive, creative force that can’t be measured on a standardized test? The question has fascinated philosophers, scientists, and mystics alike. As artificial intelligence grows more sophisticated, and as unconventional thinkers continue to challenge the status quo, the very definition of intelligence itself remains a moving target.
For thousands of years, humanity has sought to understand its place in the cosmos, attempting to define the intangible aspects of existence — what animates us, what transcends us, and what ultimately connects us to something greater. Among these explorations, the distinction between soul and spirit has been one of the most enduring, yet remains deeply misunderstood.
In the world of spiritual discourse, few terms are as frequently misused and misunderstood as “soul” and “spirit.” Many assume they are interchangeable, yet this conflation leads to confusion about our very nature and purpose.

One of the most persistent myths – overpopulation – has been weaponized to create fear, justify restrictions, and manipulate human behavior.
