The Theseus Paradox named after the Greek hero Theseus, who repeatedly replaced some parts and wooden planks of his ship, Argo, with new ones throughout his voyage. The paradox revolves around the conundrum, that If eventually all this ship’s original parts were slowly replaced, is it still the same ship? I just read a very disturbing article on AI and its ‘Ethical’ implications. It brought to surface my un-articulated concerns with This perspective is not an indictment of technology; rather, it emphasizes the necessity of maintaining a balance—the “AND”—between AI’s capabilities and human ingenuity.

Managing Current flow and enabling systems As I ponder the wisdom of Rumi and the art of polarity management, I’m struck by the unexpected parallels between Semiconductors and Leaders. “Out beyond the right doing and wrong doing there is a field and I will meet you there” – beyond the polarization lies the dance of polarity. Def: A semiconductor is a material that can conduct electricity in some conditions and block it in others. That is put simple, move between being a “Conductor” and being an “Insulator”. Semiconductors are used as the foundation for many electronic devices, including computers, cell…

While in some ways we have grown up, in many way we still operate out of the ‘child’ especially the artist in us..is waiting for permission to sing, to draw, to speak to express.. afraid of being admonished perhaps.

“If we take care of God’s business – God will take care of ours” This week, today, I entered Abundance. Literally. Today on Mother’s Mary birthday Feast, I did my home Blessing Pooja. And its abundance – Feast personified (well the house equivalent of it). Many of us were not ging to show up. But everyone did.
