@LULAC is seeking signatures demanding an independent investigation into Houston ICE shooting of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo who should be alive today. If you do anything to resist the abomination of the Trump regime, please make it be this. 📌 Link: lulac.org/advocacy/ale...

My Birthday Wishes to America I celebrate the people who refuse to surrender their principles to fear, who choose courage over cynicism, and who understand that patriotism is not silence but the willingness to care enough to hold your country accountable to its highest ideals. 📌 Link in comments

We need deeper leadership in the world. The leadership bar is extremely low, and it is our responsibility to expect more of our leaders, and to develop ourselves into leaders that can move humankind forward. It’s an emergency.

I recently learned that as concern grows over the human cost of AI, a new “The Human Movement” is emerging in response. We definitely need a strong, genuinely focused pro-human mobilization. But is it? Some versions of this early movement seem remarkably uninterested in ALL humans.

We are destroying the environment, affecting people's livelihoods, raising energy costs, making people lose their jobs, launching a techno-fascist surveillance state, but hey, looks like at least we’re winning the AI race 🫩

We are told that AI is here to stay. That we either “ride or die.” That the future is already decided. That our only responsibility is to adapt quickly enough to avoid being left behind. But perhaps we have mistaken the tool for how the story ends… humanasusual.substack.com/p/you-know-w...

Someone, somewhere, may eventually have to live with the consequences. If executives, founders, and investors privately understand the risks, what obligations do they have before asking millions of ordinary citizens to buy into the inevitability story? 📌 open.substack.com/pub/humanasu...

The debate is no longer occurring between AI optimists and AI doomers. It is occurring between people who believe we still have meaningful choices and people who have already accepted technological inevitability. Whether humanity ends up in a deep moral debt. The window is shrinking. 1/2 Link👇🏼

This media capture rewards the least mature and most anti-human ways of relating to truth and shared reality. Our current divide is not a battle over “who owns the truth,” but whether we will still be able to engage with reality without it being turned into an identity or a weapon.

What if skepticism is actually collective discernment? What makes these moments culturally significant is that these are not anti-technology protests in the traditional sense. Something deeper is happening. Link to article: open.substack.com/pub/humanasu...

A stunning critique of "blind patriotism” and fanatism. No matter where it comes from. Politics, ideology, religion, entertainment. Identity and nationalistic loyalty always leads followers into great danger, and the rest of us with them. Remarkable role of the Arts during defining moments.

Narcissism isn’t leadership. It’s time we take these patterns of behavior with the maturity the situation requires. Humanity is at the brink of suffering in irreparable ways because of it. P.S. I left you a few links in the comments.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

It’s been quite the timeline writing two books at once... I think I'll release them as sisters... Yin and yang... One telling the story of humanity from the inside... The other protecting humanity at large. I’m just a human trying to never, ever forget that. 🤍

We won’t need just better leadership. We will need deeper leadership.   We’re inheriting not just the flaws of past ways of leading, but the responsibility to contain spaces that those in it need to survive. humanasusual.substack.com/p/proximity-... .

Invisible emotional labor burns through faster than cash. No late hire or heroic sprint can compensate for a leader who hasn’t matured into the scale they’re asking their company to hold. Leadership maturity relies on agency. 📌 Continue reading in my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/humanasu...

We live in different versions of humanity. We’ve spent decades building systems that scale intelligence, but we haven’t built anything that reliably scales human maturity. AI literacy will not fix something more foundational: Human literacy. 📌 Link to essay: open.substack.com/pub/humanasu...

Unequivocally, introspection is non-negotiable if we want to act as healthy humans in a world that is becoming more complex and unpredictable. Lack of introspection is not a strength. Here's what it means for leadership, and the better alternative. 📌 Access Gumroad: lindsayruiz.gumroad.com/l/rlqbr
