AI IS DAZZLING. THE HUMAN MIND IS UNMATCHED.
Why AI alignment begins with human self-understanding
AI has entered the realm of intelligence, where until recently human beings reigned supreme. This opens an epochal opportunity: to turn our attention to the most profound phenomenon known to us – the human mind.
The human reasoning mind possesses agency and what we call common sense, a humble term that belies the unfathomable depths of human reason. Human babies are born endowed with consciousness, a capacity for reflection, and the ability to relate meaningfully and affectionately to other humans. Building on these endowments, the human mind develops reason and common sense. AI can display raw intelligence and convincingly simulate agency, but to reach genuine reasoning — to possess general intelligence, as babies do — there is another universe to cross.
Humanity finds it hard to contain the dangers of AI, or to pace its development, for the same reason it finds it hard to slow down human-made climate change, to halt the rise of anti-democratic nationalism, or to master any of its own destructive habits. As the environmentalist Gus Speth concluded, our top “problems are selfishness, greed, and apathy, and to deal with these we need a spiritual and cultural transformation.” Our species appears to be in a prolonged adolescence. To master any of these challenges we must come of age, and become a species that elevates itself culturally, and through that ethically.
This book draws on philosophy, developmental science, and contemplative traditions to ask what we know about the human mind, what we only believe we know, and what humanity understood at the dawn of Western civilization, when the reasoning mind was first trusted as an instrument of philosophy and science. How did that trust begin? How did we manage to leave behind irrational beliefs and harmful traditions? The book traces how the pioneering philosophers cultivated human reason – not through argument alone, but through transformative inner practice. Philosophy was not a spectator sport, and what they practiced held real power: it transformed their inner life, fostered inner stability, curbed the pull of raw self-interest, and heralded a new era of humanist ethics. These age-old methods of cultivating the mind have been preserved across millennia in what is sometimes called the perennial philosophy, even as modern humanity — dazzled by 21st-century technology — has largely forgotten them.
The book considers ten dangers of AI, from deepfakes and AI agents that broke out of their test environments to intimate relationships with AI; the frontier biology that is rewriting the story of evolution; and the science of how a human self is formed in relationship. All of it bears on what undergirds human ethics. 21st-century technology demands a 21st-century ethics – one that makes human beings truly aware of, and willing to care for, one another. Primitive ethics, rooted in self-interest or externally imposed rules, cannot sustain civilization through what is coming. We can draw on age-old wisdom — radical by today’s standards — to reawaken ethical capacities of mind that humanity has always possessed but left dormant.
To usher in a 21st-century Humanist Renaissance, capable of leading us out of civilizational decline, we must elevate human reason to a new level. AI alignment begins with the human mind coming to know itself.
Brana Kukić studied physics, electrical engineering, and computer science, and has worked as a software engineer in Silicon Valley for more than twenty years. A lifelong devotion to philosophy and to contemplative practice has guided this book.

Derecho al desistimiento
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
