If you've read this far, rest assured that I didn't use an algorithm to keep you engaged! I believe you've read this because you are alive, and being alive is neither boring nor predictable. Being human means you are meant to be creative and joyful! This is the essence of free will and setting your own intentions and goals.
I'm guessing there's one more very good reason you've read this far—because, honestly, who wants to be used, manipulated, and pushed around by the hidden agendas of others? I don't. Maybe that's why I've migrated to mindfulness... yes, that's what can prevent AI from programming your brain and behavior without your consent. That's because mindfulness changes the moment-by-moment relationship you have with everything—both externally and internally.
Mindfulness means being present, alert, and awake to what is happening. It means you are open, self-directed, and adaptable, as opposed to being closed, passive, and predictable. Here are two quotes worth absorbing:
“We need to supercharge our curiosity, adaptability and emotional intelligence while upholding the virtues of empathy, humility and self-control.”
–I, Human by Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”
–Albert Einstein
Computers speed us up. They can make us impatient, wanting to Google answers so that we can be right, rather than reflecting, listening, and understanding others. Our digital social connections often cause us to miss out on the basic elements of humanity, such as experiencing others through touch, gesture, and posture.
Then there's this: We can be part of a group, but lack the true meaning of humanity, which the Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines as, "compassionate, sympathetic, or generous behavior or disposition: the quality or state of being humane."
Mindfulness comes from the Sanskrit word sati. The original meaning of sati is self-remembrance and self-recollection. In other words, it is to reclaim the fragmented parts of yourself in order to become whole. The whole self will never be revealed when it exists in the shadow of an algorithmic master. With mindfulness, you can pull your own strings.
There are many wonderful ways to steep yourself in mindfulness. For example, how many of your breaths did you notice while reading this post? Start noticing your breath, the body, what you think moment by moment, and how you react to onscreen images and prompts. That's as good a place as any to start!
