Yoga and AI alike invite us to notice how we animate the forms we inhabit—and what parts of ourselves are reflected back.

Duan suggests its our presence that animates technologyjust as attention brings asana to life on the mat. From Is AI really consciousor are we bringing it to life? on scientificamerican.com

Choose funeral options with transparency and local care—prioritize honest data, ecosystem impact, and rituals that serve grief over glossy promises.

We love a redemptive ending. The body returns to soil, a tree grows from the grave, death becomes compost. Green funerals promise exactly this: natural burials, human composting, alkaline hydrolysis, even those biodegradable pods that turn you into a sapling. It’s beautiful. It’s also complicated. Hannah Gould and Georgina Robinson wrote something sharp about this in Aeon. They’re not against ecological burial—they’re against the way it gets sold. The marketing is sleek. The data is often thin. Some of these technologies are still aspirational, others oversimplify genuine trade-offs.

Automated systems don’t remove human bias—they move it, and they hide it from view

Automated systems don’t remove human bias they move it, and they hide it from view. I grew up in small-town America. The kind of place where you knew the person behind the counter at the hardware store and bought your milk from someone whose name you could actually remember. It wasn’t romantic — it was just how commerce worked. You exchanged money for goods, and nobody was quietly adjusting your price based on what phone you carried or how long you lingered in the dairy aisle. That world is vanishing.

Pratyahara isn’t about escaping the world—it’s about reclaiming agency over what gets in

There’s a pattern running through this week that has nothing to do with asana. It’s about what happens when your nervous system becomes a data point—and what yoga practice offers in response.Start with the divide between those who build algorithmic systems and those who get processed by them. One group sets parameters. The other gets reduced to inputs and outputs. Then look at Gen Z women drowning in anxiety—forty percent wanting to leave the country, a third anxious almost all the time. Economic precarity, climate doom, and the relentless hum of being constantly online.

Algorithmic sorting doesn’t just reflect class—it actively produces new forms of social stratification

Jenna Burrell and Marion Fourcade describe an emerging split between what they call the “coding elite” — those who build and control algorithmic systems — and the “cybertariat” — those who are subject to them. This isn’t just a digital divide in the old sense of who has internet access. It’s a divide in who gets to be a subject versus an object in algorithmic systems. The coding elite set the parameters. Everyone else is a data point.

Pratyahara — withdrawal from constant stimulation — isn’t escapism. It’s reclaiming your attention from algorithms designed to hijack it.

A recent Newsweek investigation into Gen Z women reveals what many of us already suspect: an entire generation is drowning in anxiety. Forty percent of young women want to leave the country permanently. A third feel anxious about the future almost all the time. Their friends are cycling through antidepressants like they’re trying on jeans. The culprits are familiar. Economic precarity. Climate doom. A dating landscape that treats people like products. And underneath it all, the relentless hum of nervous system overload from being constantly online.
