					<description><![CDATA[»A ship in port is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for.« For me as a sailor, that’s more than just a great quote. It’s almost a truism. But as the son of a civil servant, raised on stability and security, in a family where permanent jobs and predictable career paths were seen as the sensible way to do things, it’s also something I didn’t live by for a long time. My own career followed a fairly clear course for years. University. Training. Permanent positions. Until last year. After completing a part-time degree in business psychology and leaving my previous employer, suddenly everything was up in the air. Or, to put it more positively: suddenly, almost anything seemed possible. But what do you do with that much freedom when you’re used to moving along safe, familiar tracks? Especially when the choices you make don’t just affect your own life, but your partner’s too. How do you arrive at a decision in a world where almost anything is conceivable, but not everything is actually &#8230;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The first time I spent an entire afternoon working with AI, I closed my laptop with that strangely satisfying feeling of having done hard intellectual work. My brain felt cooked. I had compared models, refined prompts, rewritten outputs, tested workflows, chased better phrasing, discarded entire approaches. It felt intense. Dense. Productive. But later that evening, an uncomfortable thought appeared. What exactly had I been working so hard on? Not the actual text, at least not in the way I used to. Not the slow process of building an argument sentence by sentence, wrestling vague intuitions into something coherent, discovering what I actually think while writing. A large part of the effort had moved elsewhere. Into steering the machine. Recently I came across a clip of Cleo Abram talking about »time under tension« in weightlifting as a metaphor for intellectual growth. Her point was simple and powerful: muscles grow under resistance, and maybe thinking works the same way.
