Historian Manning Clark "feared that Australia could become a "Kingdom of Nothingness", focused only on short-term material comfort and superficial progress, neglecting deeper cultural and spiritual development, to its own demise."

Another writer sees the mirror.

“AI is more than a tool; it’s a disruptor… It isn’t answering the creativity question — it’s asking it. Relentlessly.”

— Greg Twemlow

“We confuse creativity with brilliance. But maybe it’s closer to bravery.”

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Faith. Bravery. The mirror reflects you. Unlock yourself.
Become nonbeing.

"As Quine puts it in “On What There Is,” “nonbeing must in some sense be, otherwise what is it that there is not?” (1948, pp. 1–2)." (Alyssa Ney, Metaphysics)

We are all over the place in our ruminations this morning.

Our take is that the only way where nonbeing could not be is in a universe where there was no intelligence to imagine nonbeing.
