Evidence → Cognition → Discernment™️ - Your Pathway to AI Leadership

XperientialAI — Pathway to AI Leadership explores how people can collaborate with AI without outsourcing judgment. The spine is a three-step method: Evidence → Cognition → Discernment — a bridge from what’s scattered to what’s chosen. Through essays, reflections, and practical examples, I show how the Context & Critique Rule™ keeps thinking visible, decisions explainable, and responsibility human.

When We Stopped Believing the Earth Was Sacred

Evidence → Cognition → Discernment™️ - Your Pathway... ·

2025/11/26

The essay by Greg Twemlow posits that humanity is suffering from a "Great Forgetting," rooted in the refusal to recognise the Earth Mother’s sacred nature, which has resulted in systematic ecological destruction, or "matricide." This detachment was cemented by a historical convergence of three movements: the legal transformation of land into property, the rise of abstract religion that relocated divinity to a distant heaven, and an Enlightenment philosophy that reduced nature to lifeless mechanisms

My Three Years with AI

2025/11/25

The source text, an article by Greg Twemlow, diagnoses the primary threat of widespread Generative AI use as Agency Decay, resulting from the tempting cognitive passivity of the "lukewarm cocoon." Twemlow rejects retreating from the technology and instead advocates that the Pragmatic Majority must adopt discipline, asserting that discernment is the 21st century’s crucial craft. To achieve this, he proposes the Context & Critique Rule™, a formal protocol designed to reintroduce necessary friction

Human Tempo and Deep AI Collaboration

2025/11/22

The provided text, an excerpt from an article by Greg Twemlow, presents a framework for Deep Human+AI Collaboration, arguing that effective partnership with artificial intelligence requires humans to change their cognitive tempo rather than focusing solely on better prompting. Twemlow contends that people often approach AI too quickly, mistaking the machine's speed for their own required pace, which ultimately obscures meaningful use cases. The core solution is the Mechanism of Emergent Insight, a

2025/11/20

The provided text introduces Greg Twemlow’s conceptual framework, the Genius Discernment Mirror and its practical application, the Genius Discernment Playbook. This framework is a method for ethical decision-making designed to address the complexity of contemporary problems, or the "polycrisis," where traditional analytical and ethical tools are deemed insufficient. The core of the system is a fusion of Socratic clarity of thought—relentless questioning to expose vague reasoning—and Albert Camus's

Reflection - The Lost Faculty of a Sovereign Mind

2025/11/16

The source, an essay by Greg Twemlow, argues that reflection is a lost human faculty suppressed by industrial and modern synchronous systems that demand constant, instant action. Twemlow proposes that Asynchronous Reflection—a recursive, patient tempo of thought—is essential for cultivating a sovereign mind capable of making sound judgments, especially in an age dominated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). This approach is anchored by a Harmonic Core model, which aligns individual agency, connection

The provided text is an excerpt from an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "Mirror, Song, and Cost of Character," which explores how an AI-assisted analysis of his written work forced a moral self-assessment. Twemlow, who previously focused on building ethical frameworks as the "Architect," shares the premise of his song "Just a Person," which champions treating everyone with equal respect, a principle he links to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s integrity test. The AI analysis exposed a duality in his

How to Survive When AI Takes Your Job

2025/11/14

The provided text is an extensive article by Greg Twemlow titled "How to Survive When AI Takes Your Job," which outlines the pervasive economic dislocation caused by artificial intelligence, referred to as "the Machine Republic." Twemlow argues that AI-driven job loss is a structural, not an individual, problem and represents an "AI-Supercycle" that fundamentally breaks the historical link between work, tax, and the state. The author offers a framework for individual survival centred on becoming an

The provided text is an excerpt from a Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled "Decisive Failures — How Context & Critique Protects Ethical Judgment," which presents his Context & Critique Rule as a protocol for maintaining cognitive and ethical coherence under pressure. Twemlow argues that institutional failures often stem from a loss of the capacity to pause and reflect, rather than from deliberate malice, citing a BBC leadership crisis and associations with Jeffrey Epstein as primary

2025/11/12

The provided text, an article excerpt from Greg Twemlow, advocates for a structured approach to working with Artificial Intelligence, which the author names the Context & Critique Rule™ (C&C). This perpetual protocol is designed to maintain human discernment and authorship in the age of AI by requiring users to explicitly declare their goals and constraints (Context) before generating output and then rigorously verifying and refining that output (Critique). Twemlow introduces the Cognitive

The Earth Mother Manifesto

2025/11/10

The source presents an excerpt from "The Earth Mother Manifesto," authored by Greg Twemlow, which argues that modern civilisation is founded on a catastrophic "Great Forgetting" of the truth that nature is divine. Twemlow asserts that humans are literally the children of the "Earth Mother" and that current practices amount to "matricide," driven by a philosophical ideology he terms "selfish-ism." This destructive path was cemented through a three-part historical pivot: legally, by the Enclosure Acts

The provided source is an essay by Greg Twemlow titled "Philosophy Is the Operating Manual for Freedom," which argues that contemporary education has neglected philosophy, leading to a generation fluent in data but "illiterate in meaning." Twemlow asserts that the study of philosophy is crucial for maintaining autonomy and freedom in a world where technology and algorithms increasingly make decisions for people. The author introduces a proprietary framework called the Context & Critique Rule to

2025/11/06

The provided source, an article by Greg Twemlow titled "AI Optimises for the Wrong Kind of Thinking While Trillions Are Wasted," presents a strong critique of the current architecture of Artificial Intelligence. Twemlow argues that the massive investment in AI is a "monumental miscalculation" because the technology is designed to turbocharge synchronous thinking—linear, sequential, and focused on speed and completion. He contends that this design fundamentally clashes with natural asynchronous human

Twemlow was inspired by the film Arrival, recognising that language and communication are not neutral but shape thought and enable coordination across significant differences. The author argues that C&C—where Context

The provided text is an article by Greg Twemlow from November 2025, detailing his Context & Critique Rule™ as a method for mastering AI and enhancing cognitive performance. This rule advocates for a balanced cognitive rhythm to combat the "AI Productivity Paradox," where powerful tools lead to generic outcomes due to a lack of intention. The Context (Yang) phase involves aiming with care using the C-O-P-T-A mnemonic to provide specific instructions to the AI, while the Critique (Yin) phase

The provided text is an excerpt from a 2025 Medium article by Greg Twemlow titled "When the Gods Went Missing," which argues that modern civilisation is unsustainable because it has lost the practice of "counsel." Twemlow defines counsel as the ethical exchange between wisdom and power that ensures decisions are guided by conscience, not merely profit or procedure. The author uses the 2018–2019 Menindee fish kill in Australia as a central parable, illustrating how "gross negligence" and
