I’m really looking forward to seeing you tomorrow, for our next Candlelight Chat! We’re going to focus on two seemingly unrelated topics: AI; and the Second Half of Life.

These two situations have more in common than you think: both require us to rethink everything — from our daily schedules, to our sources of meaning and purpose.

We’re going to talk about how to find meaning and purpose, in an era in which super-intelligence threatens to take over our tasks — and at a time of life when our customary tasks often fall away, and we need to reinvent ourselves.

And don’t worry if you can’t make it live. We’ll send out a video recording to paid and scholarship subscribers next week.
