I may have been insensitive to your emotions when I commented, by not researching where you might be coming from - I commented on what you said without knowing any of that, so my apologies for that.

But now you've prompted me to look, I see a little more where you are coming from, and I am sorry I don't agree much with your approach. To me it looks a little like Buddhism, which encourages endless reflection in one's own self, never much empathy with other humans, nor actually any other source of intelligence, like ChatGPT, talked about in your story titled "The Fungus Amongst Us". In this you say something to the effect it will only increase the bad things we are seeing happening.

I published a poem from it earlier today, with pretty much the opposite sentiment.

In it, it is plainly encouraging people to understand one another. I hope you see some value in it:

"In a world of conflict and despair, Where global issues loom with care, We seek solutions far and wide, To heal the wounds and turn the tide.

From energy’s grasp, profit’s might, To dwindling days and endless night, We face the need for change anew, To find a path, both just and true.

The power of tech and human mind, To transcend the trials we find, But wisdom guides, with open eyes, To reach for peace beneath the skies.

As dreams align with faith in hand, To save our world, protect our land, In unity, we’ll strive to see, A future brighter, and conflict-free.

With hope and love, we’ll stand as one, To face the battles not yet won, For in our hearts, the truth we’ll find, That we, the people, must be kind."
