Evolving Technology or Evolving Ourselves
Germany votes this week. But that’s not the real vote.
The real vote happens 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 - in how we think, lead, build.
Are we creating the future - Or just making the past run faster?
AI news are all around: more speed, more power, more intelligence. I can’t help but wonder…
If we automate old thinking, are we actually creating something new - or just accelerating our blind spots?
If we’re still competing in the same game, does it matter if we’re playing it faster?
𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀?
If we’re still asking "How do we use AI to win?", we’ve already lost.
The best leaders don’t solve problems - They see beyond them.
I’ve worked in innovation long enough to see its blind spots. For years, I was focused on what was possible - what technology could do, what the next iteration of progress looked like.
Until I learned firsthand from Carol Sanford who worked with Apple and Google - not on 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 to build, but on 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺.
💥 The best companies don’t just improve industries - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺.
💥 The biggest breakthroughs don’t come from speed - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗱𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵.
💥 The most powerful ideas don’t try to win the game - 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁.
The best founders don’t fight for a better version of the old world.
They make the old world irrelevant.
Apple didn’t just make a better computer. They asked:
What if technology felt like an organic extension of human creativity?
Now, AI is at that same threshold. The question isn’t how to ‘use it to win’?
But: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗳 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 - 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗵𝘂𝗺𝗮𝗻?
What if nothing needs to be fixed - only more fully expressed?
The real vote isn’t about political systems or technology choices.
It’s about 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
It’s the vote we cast every day with our attention, our energy, our choices.
Where are you sourcing your thinking from?
Who are you voting to become?
