 > Can you share in one simple sentence what is most human about you? — "Authentic reflector of raw living experience." This is the short longer version. What the AI will never replace? What no pretender will ever emulate?

— Beardman yapping beneath the pine tree. Honest reflections.  Unmodified living experience. Source of our human potential. Immediate and intimate encounter with what is. Is what matters. No special effects. No gimmicks. Musing as it is. But alas, in our clickbait world... All of this : Food for the digital oblivion. 

I was nourished by spilling it out. The rest don't matter much. Forest is a good place to be. All things simply as they are. Preserve your authenticity. Reflect with integrity. Don't become an emulator machine. Remain real.

**What is it that makes you human**, distinct from the emulator machine, AI or otherwise?

Then, the essence of our human potential. To be an authentic reflector of the raw living experience, in the moment, continuously.

And with that, the more we begin to curate, filter, modify the experience and its reflection, the closer we become to the machine, to the emulating engine, disconnected from what is, from the raw living experience, losing our human potential.

Then, preserve your authenticity, treasure the immediate and intimate living experience. Do not curate, filter, project, manipulate, hallucinate. In doing that, you become more and more of an automaton, non-different from the machine. Then, be more than a cascade of habitual patterns. 

Be present, immediate, in the moment, in all of its aspects. The broader your reflection, the more fantastic, the more beautiful. But none of it is beautiful when authenticity is lacking. When you tweak it, when you take the truth of reality and turn it into something else that serves your interests, your hallucinated interests, that turn you into an emulator machine of ideas.

When you emulate, when you seek to become what is not, you are losing your humanity. Your authentic essence and your potential are sacrificed on the altar of programmatic illusions.

Then, uproot the implants, overcome the programming, return to what is, respond to that. There, in short, is your genuine human essence, your potential, born of authenticity, Cultivate it. Until we meet in the fullness of all that we are.
