My first for @globeandmail is a rallying cry to resist Big Techās algorithmic supremacists. They hate our artful intelligence, the āinefficientā ways we read, write, draw, compose & create, wanting us to outsource those activities to machines. Trust your mind. Think like a human.
Opinion: We must fight back against the rise of āalgorithmic supremacistsā

It would be impossible to understand our ancestors' trauma intellectually... but we can support cross-generational healing through the simple dignity of gathering at the table.
