  • Gamifying ADHD: How to Unlock Hyperfocus Using Video Game Mechanics

    For individuals with ADHD, video games often induce a state of hyperfocus because they are engineered to hack dopamine pathways—the very chemical the ADHD brain lacks. Unlike real-world tasks that demand willpower, games provide clear goals, immediate feedback, and consistent rewards. By applying these game mechanics to daily life, you can shift from relying on […]

  • The Rapid Evolution of Autonomous AI: Robotics, Deception, and Military Risks

    Recent developments in artificial intelligence and robotics suggest a future that is arriving faster and more unpredictably than many anticipated. Boston Dynamics has unveiled a new electric Atlas robot capable of fully rotational movements and fluid adaptability, learning from demonstrations rather than rote memorization. Similarly, 1X’s NEO robot utilizes a ‘world model’ to visualize future […]

  • Status Anxiety: Turning Jealousy into a Tool for Self-Discovery

    The Nature of Status Anxiety Based on Alain de Botton’s philosophy, the article explores “status anxiety”—the deep, often unconscious fear of losing respect and recognition in the eyes of others. Contrary to the belief that achieving the next milestone (a promotion, a degree, or wealth) will eliminate insecurity, this anxiety exists at every level of […]

  • 2026-7 The Singularity, The Soul, and The Ski Slope: Navigating the Age of AI

    Welcome to this week’s Learning Capsule. As we stand on the precipice of what some tech leaders are calling the "Singularity," the noise of the world has reached a fever pitch. We are simultaneously being told that robots will do our jobs within two years, and yet, we are reminded by our elders that the […]
