AI and Inner Development
I'm working on a 'Human(e) AI Creed' and crowdsourcing some feedback in different communities and thought I'd share here too. It starts like this: 𝐖𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬. AI is something we use, not something we become. 𝐖𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐩. Nothing leaves our hands without passing through our own voice, our own judgment, our own care. We are accountable for what we put into the world, AI-assisted or not. 𝐖𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐚 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰. Some things are ours to do, not AI's: telling our own story, deepening our values, doing our inner work, and building real relationships. Human maturity becomes the competency of the future. 👉Here's the rest of the Creed. What's missing? Especially related to Inner Development? You can comment directly in the doc or put your thoughts in the comment section. Also, I thought this video is interesting about envisioning a positive AI World.

@Montserrat de Muller Thank you for voicing something I've always believed. ⠀ We move toward what we expect, and that shapes how we meet anything new, including AI. ⠀ Most people default to asking what could go wrong, but that question is only half the field. Asking what could go right deserves equal weight. ⠀ If we believe we have agency, we have real influence over who we become as we use these tools. Used well, AI can make us more human, not less.
What are your values?
Hey everyone! I'm thinking of making a mini course that will help you discover or clarify what your highest values are. I'm curious, what are you values? Try to say them in one word. I'll go first!
What are your values?

@Nadene Canning I love words, yet we must remember, people hold different meanings for a word. We could be saying the same 'word', yet they will always hold incomplete 'perfect match' of meaning in another person's understanding. That said, for me 'integrity' means 'wholeness', 'completeness' or 'put together'. It's when you're actions match your belief and words within yourself. The tricky things about integrity and ethics as you described it, as in being 'right', different people value 'right' differently. Living into the values of others reminds me of the parable "The Man, the Boy, and the Donkey". (Written below) Two things I take from your comment: 1. If you're authentic or in integrity, don't be a jerk. Or put in the affirmative act for the well-being of others—ALWAYS. 2. When we look at others' 'integrity', assume positive intent as they may hold different values. Or better yet, judge not. Yet be in integrity with yourself so much so, you can stand blameless in your actions within yourself, even if others judge you from their different value system. <story start>An old man and his young son set out for market with their donkey, planning to sell it. - They start walking alongside the donkey. Passers-by scoff: "What fools! Why do they have a donkey if not to ride it?" - So the man puts the boy on the donkey's back. Soon people criticize: "Look at that disrespectful child riding while his poor old father walks!" - Embarrassed, the man swaps places — now he rides while the boy walks. Others shake their heads: "What a shame! That strong man rides while the tired little boy trudges along." - Feeling pressured again, the man decides they should both ride the donkey. People immediately complain: "How cruel! They're overloading that poor animal — they'll break its back!" - Finally, in total frustration and trying to satisfy every critic, they get off, tie the donkey's legs together, find a pole, and carry the donkey on their shoulders like a trophy.

@Nadene Canning now that gets into the meaning of 'blame' and 'responsible'. 😁 For me 'blame' focuses on being at fault related to judgment. 'Responsible' acknowledges the mistake, yet focuses on the ability and expectation to correct mistakes. Thanks for helping me gain perspective on this in the conversation.
A Human-first Resilience Framework for the creative industry within the EU
As a founder of this community I’m involved in an EU research project exploring resilience as a lived, daily, and processual practice, which asks how creativity might ground us, connect us, and equip us to imagine — and act on — more humane, inclusive, and future-ready systems. Key areas of exploration: -Learning from those who dare to stand outside the system -Creative thinking for ethical, inclusive systems in the AI age -Resilience as lived, human practice -Creativity, storytelling, and adaptive capacity -Economic and collaborative models for humane, preventive resilience If you’re interested AND have time to get involved.. Raise your hand 🙋🏻 in the comments (this week) and I’ll tell you more.

🙌 two hands raised! 😁 Interested. Writing helps us organize our thinking and cope with the stressors of life. This is why I write and create the spaces for parents and adolescents to 'organize their thoughts' in stories.
Which cover 'feels like home' for you?
Tapping into the 'wisdom of the crowd'. Which cover makes you think "Humm...that book looks welcoming. I'd open it." I'm LITERALLY asking you to judge a book by it's cover. 📚🤔 😁 There is: 1. Warm watercolor 2. Muted watercolor 3. Warm line-art Our (@Mark Vandeneijdne and myself) book, "Coming Home to Who You Are" has original cover artwork by Monia Pereira. However, we're using AI to play with the styles, and see which one resonates more. Open to helping? If you had to decide on a cover, which would it be?

@Nadene Canning For sure! Our publish date is September 25th but there will updates before then. The story and illustrations is continuing to be refined based on feedback. I'm excited for what we have to share.
Inviting Feedback for Inner Development EdTech Platform
Hey there, I'm developing an app for post-secondary learners to link their Inner Development Goals (IDGs) with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through projects. There's a demo video below. The goal is two-fold: 1. develop adolescent/youth well-being from the inside out 2. accelerating SDG progress through actionable IDG practices Site for feedback: https://projects.marcushiggs.com/ Check out the demo: https://v0-project-spark-finder.vercel.app/ What features would you recommend for this app? Thanks for your feedback!

@Ruby Campbell thank you. So you know, I’ll more fully pursue this project later this year. Currently, I’m working on a similar workflow for families. Same principles but at a customer level. ‘Project Impact Alignment’ will be open source and at an enterprise level, B2B. I’m validating n the GROW Method for families, B2C, which starts with “Guided Inner Development”.

@Marvin Maneve Thank you for your feedback Maneve. So you know, Project Impact Alignment will most likely be 6 months to a year from now. I'm currently working on a smaller project that will help prepare me for Project Impact Alignment. At that time, I plan for Project Impact Alignment to be open source, and I'll bring on several developers to help me with that. My current project is a bit more philosophical, literally. I'm working on helping a person getting aligned with themselves, then their families, then we move it to institutes. Still inner development, but on a personal level first, then in a closer sphere of influence with their family, before radiating out You can see my current project is here. It's a manuscript and toolkit of a contemporary translation of Meditations for adolescents and young people. Currently I connect the Virtues-in-Action Framework, VIA, to the Meditations, however I'm open to writing a section for IDGs, as I appreciate the concept of 'dimensions' rather than 'character strengths'.
