Know thyself. Carved above the Oracle at Delphi, 2,500 years ago. In a world where machines can reason, synthesise, and respond better than most humans — who you know yourself to be matters more than what you know. open.substack.com/pub/nareshgian…

What do you tell your children about preparing for a world where AI can do almost anything better, faster, and cheaper than they can? New essay:open.substack.com/pub/nareshgian…

The people who thrive in the coming years will be those who can meet machine intelligence with their own. Who bring what AI will never have: lived wisdom, emotional depth, ethical weight. That world is not a fantasy. It is a direction. nareshgiangrande.substack.com

Don't try to stop the waves of technological change. They're already breaking. Build your children surfboards and teach them how to surf. It's what the Transition Towns movement was built around. Part 2 of the Synchoros series: what you can actually do: tinyurl.com/52xvb8tj

I'm calling this world the Synchoros — hyper-local in daily life, instantaneously global in reach. Think Transition Towns meets the end of Pax Americana. With AI. The essay traces how we get there from where we are now.

The World Is Going Local. Artificial Intelligence Is Why. New essay. It starts with the US losing the Middle East, moves through the collapse of the AI funding model, and ends with six predictions. One of them involves Bitcoin. One involves Transition Towns being right all along.

@tallmetommy @bryan_johnson Wow @tallmetommy what a beautiful succinct description of the indescribable 🙏🏼👏🏻🙏🏼

What if 5-MeO doesn’t show you something new at all. What if it temporarily removes the machinery of separation so you can finally feel what was always here: that existence itself is not empty, not dead, not random but unbearably alive, intelligent, and intimate. The terror is the ego realizing it was never the source. The bliss is what remains when control dies and reality no longer has to squeeze through a self. Maybe that’s why coming back hurts. Not because the vision was too big, but because we return to ordinary life knowing this moment, this breath, this planet, this fragile human life is infinitely more sacred than we were ever taught. And from that point on, you don’t just live. You become responsible for the miracle.

This was the most profound experience of my life. I am stunned beyond comprehension. This molecule is without peer. The 27mg dose opened up what felt like pure consciousness and intelligence. A majestic reveal of existence itself. In all its incomprehensible glory and majesty. It is impossible to explain with words. Whatever you imagine, multiply it by 1,000 and then add infinite width and depth and dimensions. But entrance was not granted without prerequisite. Existence demanded that I submit. That I say yes; without attachment and without condition. Yes to existence; yes to the dissolution of self; yes to release control; yes, to all. My ego registered the ask and panicked. It wanted control. It was desperate for control. It pleaded to escape from the torrent of light and essence that threatened to rip my sanity into chards. The urge to eject was overwhelming. Terror thundered throughout my mind and body. It took everything within me to release. I overcame and was treated with bliss that defies imagination. A euphoria colored with perfect harmony of all things. An orchestra of essence washed over me and swept me up in dance. It was home. The highest aspiration of intelligent life. For some reason, stored and tucked away as the ultimate prize. A single concept emerged in omnipresence: we cannot grok the preciousness of our existence. Yet it is everything we’ve ever wanted and more. The state we long for without knowing it exists. This caused me great pain and heartache. A swell of loyalty and devotion emerged inside me, pledging allegiance to existence. To become a warrior and caretaker of life on earth. To protect at any cost the candle of consciousness that has miraculously emerged in this part of the galaxy. What awaits will wipe all your tears, soothe all your sorrows, and infinitely exceed your wants.

@BritishHodl Great to hear ‘your voice’ British. I am glad you are well and unashamedly you👏🏻🙄

Been health-maxxing while the worlds situations get monitored by everyone else. Down 9.85kg/21.67lbs since 18th December 2025 - almost 50% of what took a year to lose last year. Oil/Gold/Silver price action is showing this is not a serious war and will not last long and Dubai/UAE is keeping us safe. Also - whats funny is I have friends that ran from Dubai to Vietnam and Thailand and Bali for fear of being stuck here. And now those countries have Oil crisis developing and Emirates airlines is aiming to be back at 100% capacity by end of this week - can't make this shit up. All the while malls are full here and everyone - including families - are continuing life as normal. UK got almost 100,000 of its tax mules back from the fear campaign - and they'll institute an exit tax to lock that in. Read a few stories of people who were complaining about how dangerous Dubai is right now - fled to London and got robbed in the streets first week. And I'm sitting here living a 90% normal life - in the middle of a "war zone". And don't get me wrong - I had my "red lines" too for leaving - at the end of the day I have friends and family that I'm responsible for so if I had felt danger I would have left. Bitcoin is also not even worth discussing, been recording content almost daily and then not bothering to put it out. BlackRock/MSTR is the team to watch - all retail that "we" talk to is a failure with a 0.5%/1% success rate of HODL. What you guys been up to?
