The art of losing isn't hard to master; so many things seem filled with the intent to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
We need more Trojan horses — ideas that seem like one thing on the surface but carry something deeper, more subversive inside.
AI is not a tool, it's a replacement. It's a Trojan horse for something much more dangerous.
