While the rest of the world is obsessed with Claude, I found myself in a different reality. Based in Hong Kong, where Claude remains inaccessible, I had to look for a distinctive alternative. What I discovered wasn't just another chatbot, but a General AI Agent 🤖called Manus that changed the trajectory of my business.

I started off with using Manus for just polishing my workshop slides—which I have created out of the contents of my book, The Great Synthesis—but it ended up building a complete website for me.💖

I am not a techno-expert, don't know how to write code, yet through a process of iteration, testing, and enlightenment, Manus helped me bridge the gap between human wisdom and digital execution.

Building the website with Manus was like a dance, a true collaboration, and a journey of serendipity.

As technical barriers to entry drop to almost zero, your value isn't in your ability to code now. It will be in your Human Margin—that sacred space in your mind where you form your judgment, shape you meaning, and stay conscious about your purpose.🌟

Office politics has always been about two things: survival and power. AI doesn’t change that, it turns the pressure up, it supercharges it.

Because AI creates more uncertainty, more fear, and more competition about what matters next.

When people think their jobs are being replaced, they don’t suddenly become more rational. They become more defensive, by hoarding information, by becoming territorial, and even slippery.

On the other hand, AI also creates opportunities. When an opportunity looks big enough, people rush toward it.

At higher levels, office politics could get even messier, e.g., when tension flares up between the roles of CTO, CIO, CDO, and the new-founded CAIO.

On the surface, everyone is talking about innovation. Underneath, the real question is simple: who gets to shape and control the company’s future, and the resources that come with it.

The real challenge is to survive AI-driven disruption without losing your composure, judgment and humanity.

What if the story of Adam and Eve is not just ancient history, but a warning for the AI age?

Now, the question is no more just, “will AI replace us?”

Or, “If AI is going to do everything, what are we for?

No less profound is the question, “if AI is developing character, what will it be, vicious or virtuous?”

Indeed, the fast-evolving evidence of AI blackmail, self-preservation, and rapid self-improvement are forcing us to confront this deeper question: are we creating something that reflects our greatest wisdom, or our deepest flaws?

This is where the biblical idea of forbidden knowledge resonates so powerfully with today’s accelerating AI development.

Humanity was doomed when Adam and Eve betrayed God. The fall was irreversible as they were exiled from the Garden of Eden, gates closed.

But our story doesn’t have to end like that. We can still choose, urgently and wisely before technology outpaces wisdom and virtue.

If our prompts are AI's training data for the future, our personal character has never mattered more. How do we upgrade the quality of our prompts? How do we cultivate our character?

The AI age is not just about catching up with the technology. It is about looking inside ourselves and growing from within.

In our noisy world where everybody is occupied with talking and getting their points across, what truly sets you apart as an effective communicator is your listening skill. But it is not just the skill to listen to what was said, but also to what was the real issue which was not spoken out loud. Because this is the rare ability to listen to truly understand.

It's impossible to know if Viktor Frankl from the 19th century had ever studied Daoism from two and half millennia ago. But his discernment about the space between stimulus and response in our mind reverberates well with the Daoist emptiness. Both point to the same truth: that the inner space is where humanity grows, especially in today's world of algorithmic bombardments.

When you are communicating with an AI chatbot, do you feel like talking with a real person? Does the AI feel like it is demonstrating character of their own? If AI has character, how do we know it is not an evil one? What shapes it, how can we be sure that it will do no harm to us? The real danger of AI is not just whether it will replace us, but whether it will harm us.

Do you immediately feel offended when someone humiliated you? What if mocking you was a joke, behind which was an intent of appreciation? It’s easy to feel disturbed by criticism or by the opinions of others, especially when you care about doing good work and living with good intentions. But the truth is, your inner peace does not belong to anyone else — and no one can disturb it unless you give them that power.

More than a century after it was written and published, Hermann Hesse’s Demian still feels so urgently relevant in the age of AI. This classic novel speaks powerfully to our modern struggle with conformity, identity, and the emptiness of living by external scripts. At its core is the timeless idea of the vocation of the self — the call to become who we truly are, instead of who the world expects us to be.


Through some of the most striking quotes from Demian, we connect Hesse’s insights to today’s AI-driven world: algorithmic feeds, passive consumption, and the quiet loss of inner direction. This is not an anti-technology video. It is a reflection on what AI reveals about us — and why the real challenge is not to resist progress, but to stay awake, discerning, and deeply human.


If you’ve ever felt pulled between fitting in and becoming yourself, this conversation is for you.👇
