AI just told me to avoid becoming dependent on it and to stay feral (screenshots in post)

Here's how it suggests optimising for individual sovereignty over the coming decades, in 7 points, a thread:

2. defend unstructured time

preserve blocks of days with no "productive" aim. wandering, talking, getting lost, doing inefficient but rich things. this is how originality survives.

3. permanent analog skills

mastery in physical arts: combat sports, classical guitar, long-distance running, cooking. the hand and body must stay fluent or the mind will rot.

manual skills must be practiced even when digital shortcuts are available.

4. radical emotional presence

when talking to loved ones, never optimize the interaction. no mental drafting. no narrative-building. just deep, risky, live presence.

especially in conflict. especially when it feels easier to perform coherence.

5. feral learning

study outside the stream. weird medieval texts, obscure philosophies, direct conversations with older or harder people.

never just read what is being recommended by the system. forage knowledge like a wild animal.

6. asymmetrical goals

pursue goals that are hard to quantify and impossible to automate. becoming a great father. building a legendary reputation. surviving in wilderness. leading under fire.

the machine will optimize everything else; you must chase the unoptimizable.

7. practice chosen silence

at least once a year, undertake 7–14 days of near-total silence: no content, no writing, no speaking except for functional survival.

silence will reset your soul’s calibration to mystery, not mastery.

1. cultivate sacred slowness

one major work per year. not ten. one. a thesis, a book, a physical achievement.

non-negotiable long periods without external inputs. no ai, no podcasts, no accelerated learning. just you and the raw task.

My casts are immutable, but my opinions might get a soft fork.
