Where artificial intelligence meets ancient psychology. Essays on AI, identity, and the archetypal self — by the founder of ArcMirror.
1.2 million jobs cut in 2025. Hiring at a 15-year low. 88% of companies say they use AI. Only 6% are getting real value from it. When the tools change but the thinking doesn’t, layoffs become a strategy instead of a symptom.
AI didn’t announce itself when it restructured the game. It just started playing by different rules. What that actually looks like right now — and why the question it raises isn’t about productivity.
Ivy League schools are giving away tuition. AI companies are giving away education. One move is defensive. The other is offensive. Both are responding to the same pressure — and the gap between them is where the opportunity is hiding.
What the Ivy League’s free tuition move is actually signaling. Harvard raised its threshold to $200K. Yale followed. The data tells a more complicated story — one about enrollment pressure, AI timelines, and a credential model under measurable stress.
AI is reshaping work at historic speed. The question is not whether your role will change — it is whether you will meet yourself clearly before it does. The data, the identity layer, and six Anthropic courses that matter.
15 peer-reviewed studies, 8 converging market trends, and the clinical evidence behind Arcmirror.app. Three converging markets. One convergence point. No direct competitor.
Before this job, there was a layoff. Before the stability, there was freefall. A nine-part thesis on what AI is really taking from people, and the Jungian path back to yourself.
A solo founder. Two products. One architecture. No filters.
