My nan used to say that we all will use dexterity because people don’t know how to slice bread any more … well we don’t need to know and if it’s a necessity at some point of human history, I’m sure we figure it out.
Poetic reflection, yet practical. The metaphor of “changing the wings on a plane while it’s in flight” captures the tension between innovation and responsibility. I know I heard that phrase recently, but I can't remember if it had to do with AI. Now, progress without synchronization does risk collapse. Good piece.
Your Foundation Principle and 24-Hour Horizon Drill address exactly what I've been documenting at the civilizational level, systems optimizing for speed without building structural integrity, then discovering too late they've created dependencies they can't audit or reverse.
The complementarity is striking:
I analyze why governance systems fail when they prioritize acceleration over foundation—how institutions lose sovereignty, critical thinking capacity, and decision-making independence.
You build the implementation frameworks preventing those failure modes at the organizational level, ensuring AI deployment maintains human agency, auditability, and reversibility.
Both of us recognize the same pattern:
When systems deploy faster than our capacity to govern them, humans become reviewers rather than owners.
That applies whether we're talking about:
AI-generated content homogenizing discourse (my linguistic research)
Thank you for reading and providing insightful analysis. You’re right, the cracks only show under pressure. We need more voices of creators of systems to prevent, rather than have to rebuild. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
Love the use of Interstellar to put across your message!
Thank you!
I’m optimistic what if it turns out to be good 😊

Love this! Nan is very smart.
Sorry it meant to say *loose dexterity 🤣

Really appreciate this framework.

That applies whether we're talking about:
AI-generated content homogenizing discourse (my linguistic research)
Nation-states losing institutional independence (my geopolitical analysis)
Organizations building AI dependencies without checkpoints (your framework)
Your military background shows in the approach:
You don't discover structural failures during routine operations, you discover them under pressure.
The 24-Hour Horizon Drill forces exactly that recognition before the crisis hits.
My work documents what happens when civilizations skip that step. Your framework ensures organizations don't repeat the pattern.
One diagnoses the wreckage. The other builds the prevention systems.
That's valuable work.
Thank you for doing it.

Thats great to hear Karen, likewise I shall place time aside to gather your perpectives. Adam.
