    How IB137 Ignites Teenagers’ Cognition
    2025/11/28
    The text details the development and architecture of IB137, a specialised two-day Human+AI workshop designed by Greg Twemlow to activate the latent cognitive capacity of Year 10–11 adolescents. This program evolved from an earlier workshop that demonstrated unpredictable "ignition moments," aiming instead to establish a reliable system for cognitive clarity accessible to every student. Structural changes underpin the success, including replacing larger teams with small, accountable Pods and employing a 137 Cognitive Ignition moment to reset the learning environment and suspend typical school expectations. Crucially, the workshop positions AI as a cognitive scaffold—a tool that reflects and stabilises student thinking by surfacing ambiguities and strengthening reasoning, rather than generating solutions. This support enables the central phase of Human+AI Idea Synthesis, where students build a unified, defensible solution and gain earned cognitive confidence through rigorous analysis and critique. Twemlow employs the oloid metaphor to illustrate that the students' capacity is revealed only when the structured movement of the entire workshop is in motion. Read the article.

  • When We Stopped Believing the Earth Was Sacred

    When We Stopped Believing the Earth Was Sacred
    2025/11/26
    The essay by Greg Twemlow posits that humanity is suffering from a "Great Forgetting," rooted in the refusal to recognise the Earth Mother’s sacred nature, which has resulted in systematic ecological destruction, or "matricide." This detachment was cemented by a historical convergence of three movements: the legal transformation of land into property, the rise of abstract religion that relocated divinity to a distant heaven, and an Enlightenment philosophy that reduced nature to lifeless mechanisms. The author contends that the concept of an immaterial soul was invented as a philosophical anesthetic, allowing humans to rationalise harming their physical home without believing their "real" essence would be affected by the consequences. He contrasts this destructive, colonial mindset with the sustained ecological intelligence of Aboriginal Australians, who maintained a revered relationship with the land for millennia. The essay concludes that genuine consciousness is not an internal spark, but a participatory connection with the planetary body, and that humanity must urgently abandon the delusion of separation to respond to the Mother's present gasping for breath.

  • My Three Years with AI

    My Three Years with AI
    2025/11/25
    The source text, an article by Greg Twemlow, diagnoses the primary threat of widespread Generative AI use as Agency Decay, resulting from the tempting cognitive passivity of the "lukewarm cocoon." Twemlow rejects retreating from the technology and instead advocates that the Pragmatic Majority must adopt discipline, asserting that discernment is the 21st century’s crucial craft. To achieve this, he proposes the Context & Critique Rule™, a formal protocol designed to reintroduce necessary friction and ensure human sovereignty over AI-generated work. This method is based on the Cognitive Pareto, which suggests users must automate the 80% of routine tasks while personally authoring the critical 20% that shapes the ultimate outcome. The protocol mandates first defining explicit context before prompting and then rigorously critiquing the output, culminating in a recorded Decision Defence to guarantee the user owns the rationale for the final choice. This framework transforms AI into a cognitive expander, focusing the user's effort on strategy and logic rather than mere syntax, thereby ensuring Accountable AI. Read the article.

  • Human Tempo and Deep AI Collaboration

    Human Tempo and Deep AI Collaboration
    2025/11/22
    The provided text, an excerpt from an article by Greg Twemlow, presents a framework for Deep Human+AI Collaboration, arguing that effective partnership with artificial intelligence requires humans to change their cognitive tempo rather than focusing solely on better prompting. Twemlow contends that people often approach AI too quickly, mistaking the machine's speed for their own required pace, which ultimately obscures meaningful use cases. The core solution is the Mechanism of Emergent Insight, a recursive human process involving context, articulation, critique, reflection, and iteration, which transforms ambiguity into actionable meaning before the AI is engaged for amplification. This shift ensures that human judgment and intention govern the collaboration (upstream), while the AI supports generative extension and refinement (downstream), moving the process beyond simple automation toward genuine co-authorship. Twemlow emphasises that the capacity to pause is crucial, as clarity, not speed, is the foundation for valuable, high-leverage AI applications. Read the article.

  • Genius Discernment Mirror

    Genius Discernment Mirror
    2025/11/20
    The provided text introduces Greg Twemlow’s conceptual framework, the Genius Discernment Mirror and its practical application, the Genius Discernment Playbook. This framework is a method for ethical decision-making designed to address the complexity of contemporary problems, or the "polycrisis," where traditional analytical and ethical tools are deemed insufficient. The core of the system is a fusion of Socratic clarity of thought—relentless questioning to expose vague reasoning—and Albert Camus's clarity of conscience—a commitment to moral refusal that prevents rationalised harm. The Playbook operationalises this fusion through a three-movement process that forces users to honestly articulate their choices, confront the human impact of their decisions, and make a Choice Pass in full awareness of both their reasoning and their responsibilities.

  • Reflection - The Lost Faculty of a Sovereign Mind

    Reflection - The Lost Faculty of a Sovereign Mind
    2025/11/16
    The source, an essay by Greg Twemlow, argues that reflection is a lost human faculty suppressed by industrial and modern synchronous systems that demand constant, instant action. Twemlow proposes that Asynchronous Reflection—a recursive, patient tempo of thought—is essential for cultivating a sovereign mind capable of making sound judgments, especially in an age dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This approach is anchored by a Harmonic Core model, which aligns individual agency, connection to the "Earth Mother" (the living planet), and the use of the Context & Critique Rule as a protocol for structured reflection. By employing AI to handle instantaneous, synchronous tasks, people can reclaim the necessary mental space to think slowly and independently, ensuring that technology enhances, rather than erodes, human judgment and ethical decision-making.

  • Mirror, Song, and Cost of Character

    Mirror, Song, and Cost of Character
    2025/11/15
    The provided text is an excerpt from an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "Mirror, Song, and Cost of Character," which explores how an AI-assisted analysis of his written work forced a moral self-assessment. Twemlow, who previously focused on building ethical frameworks as the "Architect," shares the premise of his song "Just a Person," which champions treating everyone with equal respect, a principle he links to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s integrity test. The AI analysis exposed a duality in his writing—the Architect versus the Observer—and revealed that his drive for ethical systems was rooted in a personal fear of irrelevance, prompting him to institute the "Human Pause" as a mechanism for self-aware reflection. Ultimately, the essay suggests that using AI as a "reflective patience" tool allows individuals to move beyond external critique to internal continuity, aligning their motives with external moral actions.

  • How to Survive When AI Takes Your Job

    How to Survive When AI Takes Your Job
    2025/11/14
    The provided text is an extensive article by Greg Twemlow titled "How to Survive When AI Takes Your Job," which outlines the pervasive economic dislocation caused by artificial intelligence, referred to as "the Machine Republic." Twemlow argues that AI-driven job loss is a structural, not an individual, problem and represents an "AI-Supercycle" that fundamentally breaks the historical link between work, tax, and the state. The author offers a framework for individual survival centred on becoming an "Architect of Accountability," which involves practicing Discernment, Sovereignty, and Accountability in an increasingly automated world. Ultimately, the piece encourages readers, especially those recently replaced by AI, to engage in reflective writing and strategic use of AI tools to maintain their sense of self-worth and agency amid systemic change.
