Lucido Ergo Sum

The Tao of Lucidity
A Philosophy of Being for the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Perhaps the first axiom-to-ethics philosophical system of the AI age.
Built with AI to answer what AI cannot: what does it mean to live lucidly?
A wager that wisdom cannot be scaled, pure reason is blind,
and this book succeeds only when you outgrow it.
Written outside the academy, because the question could not wait.
Not a guide to using AI. The philosophical ground you need before any such guide makes sense.
