A big request to my readers

Dear Readers,

As we step into a new year, I am streamlining my focus to home in on two pivotal projects that are close to my heart. Firstly, I am dedicated to broadening the reach of my recently published book, "Your Mind at Siege". It's a journey that I am deeply passionate about, and I am eager to see this work in the hands of more readers who may find value in its pages.

Secondly, I am on the cusp of completing my second book. Though the first draft is almost ready, the journey ahead involves meticulous editing to polish it for publication. This process is both exhilarating and daunting, and I am committed to ensuring that the final product is something that both I and my readers can be proud of.

Now, onto a matter that is particularly important to me. I value honesty and transparency above all, especially from you, my readers. If you find that my writings on Substack do not resonate with you, or if you believe they fall short in any aspect, I implore you to let me know. Your feedback is not only appreciated but essential. It helps me grow and adapt my content to better suit your tastes and interests.

I've noticed that despite having a share button, my articles seldom make their way into your social circles. This observation leads me to wonder if perhaps my writings are not engaging or valuable enough to be shared. I understand that sharing content is a personal choice, often reflecting one's endorsement of the quality or relevance of that content. Therefore, I am keen to understand your perspective.

I would be immensely grateful if you could take a moment to inform me about your views on my writings. Your insights will be invaluable in guiding me to tailor my future works in a way that is more aligned with your expectations and preferences.

Thank you for your continued support and engagement. It means the world to me.

Warm regards, David

Commentary on the Diamond Sutra in a world of AI.
These podcasts are discussions on the #DiamondSutra and its relevance in a world that will be dominated by Artificial Intelligence.
The crisis we face today is our own belief, that AI can replace humanity’s own consciousness by the false assumption that AI can become Sentient one day, and in some cases some incorrectly believe AI has already become sentient.
The Diamond Sutra offers truisms on Illusion and Perception, Can these truism be relevant, when the computer becomes so dominant that our jobs, functions are taken over by computers or bio-engineered robots and humankind becomes superficial? This could be the pivotal question of our times.
What if thinking machines outthink us? What if robots do our work? Have you asked yourself, where is your real essence, your true identity in this networked environment and the Techno Utopia that we seem to embrace?
Many Sections of the Diamond Sutra throw up contradictions and are treated separately and any of these episodes can be read or listened to in no particular order
