that viral article called 'Something big is happening' spread more fear and anxiety on the internet yesterday, and most of those points he made is actually true but that doesn't even mean that we're doomed.
We're not. We're evolving as always, and now the evolution will eventually help us to return to the our core :: our true self.
Just pay your full attention on this piece, you will find hope of a better future for your kids.
The End of the Checkbox Era
For decades, the world has been governed by a rigid architecture of "checkboxes." To be heard, to build, or to lead, you were told you needed the right degree, the right accent, the right network, and a polished CV that fit into a recruiter’s neat little box.
If you didn’t have the pedigree, you were "unqualified." Your potential was basically suffocated by your self-doubt and a total lack of resources.
But a massive shift is happening right now.
Gatekeepers are losing their keys.
AI as the Sponge for Human Weakness
We often hear that AI will replace human intelligence. Honestly, thats a super machine-centric view. From a human perspective, AI is just a tool that absorbs our weaknesses. If you have a brilliant mind but struggle with grammar, AI doesn’t judge you; it polishes your intent. If you are a visionary who never learned to code or design, AI becomes the medium that translates your raw thoughts into a reality the world can finally see.
It provides a neutral, accessible platform for anyone who has lived a project, a dream, or a message inside their head but lacked the "confidence" or the "medium" to bring it out. In this new era, your "deficiencies" in formal training no longer define your ceiling. It's about what you can dream up, not what you can memorize.
Originality: The New Leverage
The people who climbed the ladder in the previous era were often backed by borrowed leverage - elite connections, family capital, or institutional credentials. But leverage is not the same thing as creativity. It is not the same thing as obsession.
Here is the twist: someone with a safety net can rarely match the effort of someone who has nothing to lose. That hunger - the desperation to express a truth that has been silenced by society - is a fuel that "comfy" pants cannot replicate. No cap.
When AI commoditizes technical skills like coding, basic writing, and data analysis, those skills cease to be a "moat." When everyone has access to the same high-level execution, the only differentiator left is Originality.
Your Raw Truth: Your unique lens on the world.
Your Grit: The willingness to fail, refine, and try again.
Your Curiosity: The "burning" need to solve a problem.
From Thinker to Builder
For the first time in history, the underdogs - the storytellers without a film school degree, the product thinkers without an engineering background - can finally be Builders. If you have ever felt underestimated because you didn't "fit the mold," understand this: AI has flattened the mold. It is no longer about who you know or what paper you hold. It is about the depth of your thoughts and the intensity of your effort.
AI is not just a technological upgrade. For the misfits and the dreamers, it is a second chance.
The Trap of the Vibe and the Moat of Focus
As the barriers to entry crumble, a new phenomenon is emerging: The Vibe. Because AI can turn any spark of an idea into a polished aesthetic in seconds, we are entering a period of hyper-production. Everyone can look like a creator, a trader, or a visionary. This creates a low-entry-barrier culture where "vibing" replaces "building."
But here is the reality:
A vibe without depth is just a hollow shell. Most people will use AI to chase trends, seeking the instant gratification of a viral post or a quick crypto win. They will join the "vibe" believing they are the next big thing, but they will create no real value. In a world where everyone can generate a beautiful image or a competent essay, the "vibe" becomes a commodity. It becomes noise.
The New Moat: Protecting Your Sanity
In this age of abundance, the most scarce resource on earth is no longer information - it is focused attention. Our minds are currently being bombarded by a sensory overload of cheap dopamine: social media, news cycles, and the constant itch to check the markets. This noise doesn't just distract us; it clogs the signal from our subconscious.
To win in the age of AI, you cannot out-compute the machine. You must out-discipline the crowd.
The Winners: Those who resist the craving for instant gratification and channel their creativity into the bigger picture.
The Superheroes: Those who treat their attention as sacred.
Your human creativity is the "moat" that protects your work from being commoditized, but that creativity can only flourish if you protect your mind from the "vibe" that seeks to hollow you out.
The Speculation Peak: High Stakes and Existential Crises
This "vibe culture" extends into our financial systems. We are heading toward a decade where everything - from art to human attention - is tokenized. Markets will run 24/7, and AI agents will outpace human traders at a scale we can barely comprehend.
For the "degens" - those who have spent years in digital trenches like Minecraft or Roblox - there is a clear advantage. They understand the speed. They understand the systems. But there is a hidden cost. The "left-brained" race for more - more tokens, more leverage, more speed - leads to a specific type of death. When you move too fast, you lose the ability to process your own emotions. You attract success, but you hit an existential crisis because you have traded your "right-brained" connection to life for a numerical score on a screen.
The true challenge of the next decade isn't just surviving the AI economy; it’s surviving the mental health epidemic that comes with it.
The Transition to Spirituality
This sets the stage for our next section: The Existential Meltdown as a Catalyst. We will explore how the collapse of traditional jobs and status will force humanity to look inward - away from the "matrix" of metrics and toward the ancient wisdom thats been waiting for us all along.
The Collapse of External Metrics: An Existential Meltdown
We are approaching a "Dark Night of the Soul" for the human race. For centuries, we have defined our worth through external metrics: our job titles, our productivity, and our social status. But in the next 5 to 10 years, machines will inevitably do "productivity" better than any human ever could. When the "9-to-5" structure collapses and the traditional ladders of success are kicked away, humanity will face an extreme existential meltdown.
But this meltdown is a gift. It is the catalyst we need to stop acting like biological machines and start acting like spiritual beings.
Returning to the Core: The Search for Purpose
When the external world fails to provide meaning, you are forced to look inside. This is where the ancient wisdom of the East - specifically the Hindu texts - becomes more relevant than any modern business book. These texts have always taught that the "Matrix" (Maya) is built on temporary, shifting metrics, while the only true value is your Purpose (Dharma).
AI is forcing us to ask the ultimate question: What are we?
If we answer "We are data processors," we will be replaced.
If we answer "We are sparks of the Divine," we will ascend.
The Practice: Deep Work as Devotion
To survive this transition, you must "kill the Persona" - the mask you wear for society - and integrate your "Shadow."
You must move from the question "How can I profit?" to "How can I serve?"
The bridge between the world of AI and the world of Spirit is Deep Work. Deep Work is not just a productivity hack; it is a spiritual practice. It is the act of losing track of time in your craft, connecting with the subconscious reserves you’ve held since childhood. Whether you are building an AI-driven school for tribal children or writing a story, when you do it with complete surrender, you become a vessel.
The Survival Kit for the New Era
To remain sane and "right-headed" while the world goes through this shift, we must return to a life of tight moderation and high discipline:
Silence and Meditation: Clearing the "sensory overload" to hear the signal from the Cosmic Intelligence.
Service: Trading "excess value" for human relationships. In an age of AI, human connection will become the rarest and most valuable currency.
Vipassana and Surrender: Using tools like 10-day silent retreats to tap into your inner reserve and then surrendering the outcomes to the Divine.
Conclusion: The Return to What is Real
A new kind of human is emerging. They aren’t "superheroes" in the way movies describe them; they are simply people who have stopped trying to beat the machine at its own game. They aren’t just "tech bros" or "monks" - they are the people you see who seem strangely calm while the rest of the world is panicking.
They use AI to handle the boring stuff, the "busy work," and the checkboxes, so they can spend their energy on what actually matters: their craft, their families, and their own peace of mind. They are physically present, mentally clear, and spiritually settled.
Finding Your "Internal Sun"
While everyone else is drowning in the "Vibe" - chasing the next viral trend or the next quick buck - these people have found their own rhythm. They’ve realized that if your breath is steady, your mind stays clear. While the world is addicted to the "Matrix" of likes, views, and bank balances, these individuals are building a life that feels good on the inside, not just one that looks good on a screen.
They see the chaos of the world - the shifting economy and the collapsing old ways - not as the end of the world, but as a long-overdue "clear out." It’s a transition. For those holding onto the old "checkbox" life, it’s terrifying. But for those who have found their Dharma - their true purpose - it’s finally a chance to breathe.
The Simple Architecture of a Good Life
Ancient wisdom tells us that our body is like a home with many doors. For years, we’ve let the noise of the world - the news, the social media, the constant "hustle" - trample through those doors. The people who will thrive in the age of AI are simply learning to close those doors to the garbage.
They are moving away from the "logic-only" race and returning to their hearts. They don't fear AI taking their "job," because they realize their true value was never a job title. Their value is their ability to care, to create with obsession, and to be a "vessel" for something bigger than a paycheck. They use AI to do more, so they can be more.
The Final Choice
The real story of the AI era isn't about the software; it’s about you. AI is a mirror. It asks us a very simple, very honest question: “Now that a machine can do the grunt work, what are you going to do with your soul?”
The answer is your raw truth. It’s your capacity to help a neighbor, to build a project you actually believe in, and to love without needing an algorithm to tell you why. The crumbling of the old, rigid world is just the clearing of the ground. It’s making room for a world where we can finally sit tribal wisdom next to high technology.
It’s time to stop being a "data processor" for a world that doesn't care about you. It’s time to take your power back, trust the process, and remember who you were before the world told you who to be.
The tools are ready.
The question is: Are you ready to finally be yourself?
