Our Future Belongs to the Asynchronous Mind

Greg Twemlow's "Our Future Belongs to the Asynchronous Mind" presents a manifesto advocating for a societal shift away from synchronous, industrial-era systems towards an embrace of asynchronous cognitive rhythms, particularly those inherent to neurodivergent individuals. The author argues that artificial intelligence (AI) offers a unique opportunity to liberate humanity from the "tyranny of the clock" by handling routine, synchronous tasks, thereby allowing humans to engage in deeper, more creative, and naturally paced thinking. Twemlow contends that neurodivergent individuals, often pathologised for their asynchronous processing, are in fact harbingers of a future where human value is measured by cognitive sovereignty rather than conformity to artificial time constraints, leading to a "restoration" of authentic human consciousness.
