When I was younger I used to say I wanted to upload my brain to the internet. People thought that was creepy or sad or just plain weird. But I wasn’t trying to escape life. I was chasing a cleaner way of being without the surface friction that bodies create. Something closer to clarity. Maybe even connection. Now years later through AI, algorithms and digital memory we’re basically halfway there. Not physically, but mentally. Maybe what scared others back then was that I saw where we were heading and welcomed it. Not just beyond the body but into something collective.
