We now find ourselves in a world where we understand how everything works
but we know the meaning of nothing.
- John Lennox quotes Iain McGilchrist, The Diary of a CEO (June 2026)
my mind empty
like the Buddhists tell you is possible
if only you don’t try.
If only I could
turn myself into a bird
like the shaman I was meant to be,
but I can’t,
I’m earthbound
and solitude is my companion,
the only one you can count on.
Don’t, don’t try to tell me otherwise.
I’ve had it all and lost it
- Ai
Remember Dorothy and the Yellow Brick Road?
There’s no pot of gold at the end,
but we keep walking that road
- Ai
I've discovered over the decades that humans are incredibly short-term oriented. And that they have an enormous predisposition to optimism. They're looking for optimistic news in everything. They're looking to avoid unpleasantness.
- Jeremy Grantham, The Diary of a CEO (30 June 2026)
