The article explores the profound impact of artificial intelligence on human cognition, highlighting how AI decouples thought from the constraints of time. Previously, human knowledge and experience were temporally grounded, requiring patience and reflection. However, the emergence of an atemporal future is reshaping cognition—transforming retrieval, learning, and memory into instantaneous processes. This shift not only alters the way we interact with information but may also signify a broader erosion of human narrative and identity, challenging our understanding of existence in a world increasingly driven by technology.
AI untethers thought from time, collapsing sequence into instant synthesis. Human identity is temporal-rooted in memory, anticipation, and a narrative arc.
In the atemporal future, even urgency has been outsourced. This isn't just the evolution of cognition. It's the erasure of its sequence.
