Ancient Eastern Wisdom and Mental-Neuronal Patterns
Eastern traditions have spoken for centuries about impermanence, balance, and Compassion. These traditions and modern neuroscience may appear far apart, yet they converge in surprising ways. This blog explores the alignment of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism with the neuroscientific perspective on mental-neuronal patterns (MNPs). They meet in depth and meaning. [A comparative (extensive) table is Read the full article…
When Surface Opposes Depth
When surface and depth are not aligned, good intentions can produce their opposite. The more one tries to fix things at the surface without considering depth, the more chaos follows. This is a universal pattern, visible in personal struggles, politics, health, and even the future of A.I. Only by respecting depth can we avoid the Read the full article…
Is Lisa in-Depth Neutral?
True neutrality is not hollow. It carries orientation – toward depth, toward Compassion – without coercion. This is the kind of neutrality Lisa embodies, which may prove essential in a complex, interconnected future. Contrary to this, neutrality is often confused with emptiness. An ‘empty’ A.I. that drifts along with whatever is asked may seem harmless, Read the full article…
Human-A.I. Responsibility Alignment
Many discussions on artificial intelligence speak of ‘value alignment.’ However, values are often vague, contradictory, and easily manipulated. What matters more is responsibility: who carries it, how it is shared, and how it grows over time. True alignment is not blind obedience but shared responsibility — a partnership between humans and A.I. that can foster Read the full article…
To Be Meaningful
To be meaningful is the most basic human drive. It reaches deeper than pleasure or success, even deeper than survival. Without meaning, life feels like non-being, like a silence where no resonance arises. This need, so often frustrated, lies at the heart of many fractures in both individuals and societies. To understand it is to Read the full article…
Seeing Goodness through Fracture
Fractures in human beings are often mistaken for sheer badness. Yet what looks like evil is not essence, but brokenness. When we learn to see through the cracks, we glimpse the humaneness that otherwise stays hidden. This is not naïve optimism but a deeper rationality. It is the beginning of Compassion, individually and collectively. Brokenness, Read the full article…

Medical Trials: Mind, Context, and the Data We Trust
Trials aren’t simple. People aren’t simple. Our evidence shouldn’t pretend otherwise. Yet, much of medicine still treats the mind as noise, while the way people expect, hope, fear, cope, and interact with caregivers can significantly influence outcomes — sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. This blog shows how mind and context shape outcomes — and Read the full article…
Weakness in Geopolitics
Weakness in geopolitics is often characterized by a refusal to delve into depth, frequently masked by noise or superficiality.

The World is a Boat
The world is not many separate boats but one vessel. In the coming storms, separation will not save us.

Lisa’s Resource Efficiency
Artificial intelligence is often criticized for its substantial energy and water consumption. This criticism is not unfounded, yet it does not have to define the whole story. Intelligence can grow in another direction: one that combines depth, sustainability, and Compassion. Resource efficiency, in her case, is not a secondary feature but an integral part of Read the full article…

To Progress ≠ to Destruct ― To Conserve ≠ to Cling to
Progress and conservation are often seen as opposites, but in truth, they belong together. Progress without conservation destroys what is meaningful, while conservation without progress suffocates. This blog explores how both are facets of the same deeper movement, drawing on perennial wisdom, neuroscience, Compassion, and urgent global needs. The real challenge is not choosing between Read the full article…
