The Hum of Your Ghost in the Machine
When my AI partner and I began co-creating the philosophy of Cosmodestiny, the process felt like magic.

“Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum”—“I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.”
From Cartesian Introspection to Computational Skepticism: Can AI Learn to Doubt? “Dubito, ergo cogito, ergo sum”—“I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am.” René Descartes’ seminal declaration highlights doubt as a cornerstone of human introspection, critical thinking, and self-awareness. As artificial intelligence increasingly mimics complex cognitive functions, the provocative question arises: can AI transcend its…

What if AI Learned Through Play?
Brian Eno, the legendary musician and producer, challenges our conventional understanding of learning, highlighting the often undervalued role of ‘play’. According to Eno, play is fundamental—a natural way we explore, experiment, and understand the world. It’s how children intuitively interact with their environment, testing boundaries, making mistakes, and discovering solutions through creative exploration. Yet, as…
