Reflection - The Lost Faculty of a Sovereign Mind

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 to the "Earth Mother" (the living planet), and the use of the Context & Critique Rule as a protocol for structured reflection. By employing AI to handle instantaneous, synchronous tasks, people can reclaim the necessary mental space to think slowly and independently, ensuring that technology enhances, rather than erodes, human judgment and ethical decision-making.
