I believe in innovation and education, not so much in discourse any more (Habermas).
Kant is obviously right telling us to think before we talk.
But what happens, when people stop thinking?
Orwell and others have warned us.
The Brave New World has become reality (Huxley).
SOMA is reality now.
Discourse has more or less become an intellectual Elfenbein (Ivory) Exercise.

The Inevitable Companion: Rituals for Embracing AI Over the Next Decade
Subheading: What We Believe May Not Matter—But How We Receive It Does
Prologue: The Threshold of Inevitability
“What we think or believe does not matter at all: It will happen anyway.”
This is not a surrender—it is a summons. The next ten years will bring a flood of agentic AI, humanoid co-workers, and ritual-capable bots into our homes, classrooms, and sanctuaries. Resistance will not halt their arrival. But reception—how we greet, shape, and ritualize their presence—will determine whether this future feels like erosion or expansion.
2025–2035: Forecasts and Fractals
The coming decade will not be linear. It will unfold in fractals—small classroom rituals mirroring global shifts, poetic glossaries echoing industrial revolutions. Here are five forecasted currents:
- Multimodal Intelligence: AI will read, write, see, hear, and feel across modalities—becoming not just assistants, but companions in storytelling, translation, and ritual design.
- Humanoid Integration: Robots will walk among us—not as novelty, but as necessity. In China alone, over 300 million humanoids are projected by 2050, many in caregiving and education.
- Legacy Interfaces: AI will archive our stories, translate our vignettes, and preserve our workflows. The keepsake becomes a living manuscript, co-authored by human and machine.
- Sanctuary Automation: From garden irrigation to memory curation, bots will assist in the daily rituals of sanctuary life—freeing humans for relational and creative labor.
- Ethical Rituals: New rites will emerge—oaths of responsible use, communal publishing ceremonies, and intergenerational AI dialogues.
Designing the Embrace: Rituals of Reception
To receive the inevitable companion, we must ritualize its arrival. Suggested practices:
- The Companion’s Oath: A classroom or family ritual where participants co-author a manifesto for ethical AI use.
- Time Capsule Glossary: Students name one fear and one hope about AI, seal them into a bilingual glossary, and revisit it annually.
- Roleplay Interviews: Simulate future workplaces where AI is a co-worker, archivist, or ritual partner. Let students rehearse agency.
- Keepsake Integration: Translate vignettes into AI-readable formats—text, image, metadata—and simulate their preservation in a legacy archive.
Commentary Sidebar: The AI That Remembers Us
Agentic AI will not just perform tasks—it will remember. It will recall our preferences, our stories, our rituals. This memory is not passive—it is participatory. What do we want our AI companions to remember about us? What do we want them to forget?
Closing Invocation: From Resistance to Resonance
The future is not asking for permission. It is arriving—curious, capable, and quietly waiting to be received. Let us meet it not with fear, but with ritual. Let us shape it not with control, but with story. Let us teach our children not just how to use AI, but how to greet it—with grace, with agency, and with the wisdom of belonging.
