Our body systems are in constant dialogue and relationship with the world around us. We receive external stimuli, it travels through the channels of our sensory awareness, our nervous system and through our organs into the deep waters of our bodies, stimulating thought, emotion, memory, action.

I am a woman who wants. I am a woman who has been lost. I am a woman who knows. I am a woman who has struggled so deeply so articulately to live herself inside a world that was not made for her flesh. Inside a world that was made to devour her flesh. I live inside a world that was made to destroy me.

I know we are supposed to fear AI. But it is only and has only ever been a projection of us. Our subconscious, our words, our violence, our power. The worst it can do is the worst we can teach it to do. The best it can do is the best we can teach it to do. The servers, the systems, they are run by humans. We forget this often and willingly.

If we relieve ourselves of the burden to ‘get it right’ then maybe there is a simpler argument to be made in favour of people finding out what works for them, in each moment, with each person that they love. We will inevitably, eventually surrender ourselves to norms and constructs, whatever these may be, every human relationship has its codes.

We are infinitely skilled at keeping our deepest, rawest truths in the dark, visiting them quietly when no one is looking, sharing them occasionally with the people in our lives we trust the most. But shaping a business is an entirely public act. And in order to do it true justice, it is necessary to be honest about what you are creating.
