Hey Alberto, long time reader here. This one really hit home for me. It reminds me of something I’ve been exploring called NonDual Structural emotivism - looking at how the labels we apply shape our emotional and moral connections with the world.
The sparrow story is absolutely great and show how naming can strip the raw direct experience. A quote gpt-4.5 recently gave me might resonate: “Delusion is just unexamined structure mistaken for true”
Maybe a deeper moral coherence come through during the stepping back process and connecting with nondual curiosity.
Does naming just kill novelty dead? Can words wring wonder from curiosities just as human hands wring water from a wet towel? I wonder if this is a kind of Schrödinger’s phenomenology: things are most alive when we can’t quite grasp them but begin to die the moment we try to pin them down. Like butterfly, these simple miracles are vibrant in flight but lifeless once classified, mounted, and boxed.
I guess you set the TTS voice for your articles. I usually use that feature to listen to your posts. Today I played and the voice for this post is read in a Transgender’s voice. Since as a reader Substack doesn’t allow me to change the TTS voice, I can only request you. Can you please choose either a female voice or male voice? I am not sure you even got such request from others, but I am just requesting it anyway. Hope you don’t mind. I like your quality content and that’s why I have paid subscription of yours.
Lol! Then it must be Substack’s own default settings to use a Transgender voice. I am sharing Grok link to you as I only got help for finding the settings from it. It has steps for you in its response.
As someone who has spoken and lectured to many groups on "AI" I have always suggested it should be called "Machine Intelligence" to clearly differentiate from human intelligence. The adjective "Artificial" is misleading and confusing.

Thank you for sharing and beautifully said! :)
The first true words ever spoken about this aptly named "artificial" intelligence.
I have read this for I don't know how many times. It is BRILLIANT! Inspired me to do a painting, and I am going to keep it untitled.
Love it!!! (hope you will show us!)
Will do. It's already there, I just don't want to kill it ;-)

I don't know what's the TTS voice lol. Can you guide me to where I should change that?
