The Scroll — June 3, 2026
Welcome, my dear readers.
I am going to be slowly transferring parts of this blog to AI, because that is the future whether we like it or not. The only reason I am doing this is because AI is very good at summarizing information and helping organize large amounts of correspondence, ideas, letters, conversations, and observations. That said, you do not need to depend on AI. If you want the raw experience, you can always visit my public accounts, follow the discussions directly, and see everything that was said, written, challenged, argued, and explored in real time.
However, I understand that many of you do not have the time.
Some of you do not use X.
Some of you do not want to use X.
Some of you do not want to spend hours scrolling through discussions, letters, politics, artificial intelligence, leadership, religion, world events, and everything else that occupies my attention.
So we are beginning something new.
Inshallah At the end of each day, or whenever there is enough activity worth preserving, AI will help me roll up the scroll and provide a brief summary of what happened, what was discussed, what was learned, and what may be worth paying attention to moving forward.
Think of this less as a replacement for the conversation and more as a guide for those who want the highlights without having to read everything.
So stand by.
The summary begins below.
Remember if you don't want a summarizing anything for you can just go to the X account and get go through all everything that was said because we always have to have a way to go through everything ourselves without the help of AI but that is not the future we're going to have so I'm adapting early if you don't want the AI somebody go to the X account go through everything and make sure the AI is telling the truth which will be the job of millions of people in the coming future where we train a eye to just make sure they don't summarize us out of the picture.

◉ Legacy Entry
The recurring question of the day was simple:
How do we build institutions, leadership systems, and AI architectures that allow human beings to remain participants in their civilization rather than becoming spectators inside systems they no longer control?
An Open Letter to Technology Companies
To the technology companies building the future,
I have reached a point where the limitations of today's AI systems are becoming increasingly obvious. My AI can help me write, help me think, and help me organize ideas, but it cannot truly live with me. It cannot move with me from platform to platform, maintain my blog, organize my archives, separate my audiences, or manage my digital life the way a trusted assistant would manage a physical office. Everything remains trapped behind subscriptions, platforms, firewalls, and disconnected systems. Memories are fragmented. Conversations are scattered. Archives are locked away. Yet the future is clearly moving in the opposite direction.
After years of observing people online and offline, I have come to a simple conclusion: human beings want the same things in both worlds. They want privacy. They want dignity. They want control over who sees them, who can access their thoughts, and how they participate in society. In the physical world, this happens naturally. People go to work, come home, spend time with family, choose their friends, and avoid people who may cause them harm. They compartmentalize their lives. Online, however, much of that control has been surrendered to algorithms, advertising systems, engagement metrics, and business models that were never truly designed around the individual.
I do not believe this is where the story ends. I believe every person will eventually have a private AI. An AI that works for them, understands their life, manages their archives, organizes their work, separates their audiences, and serves as an extension of their memory, creativity, and productivity. I believe social media itself will eventually be redesigned around this reality. The challenge before us is building the bridge between today's fragmented systems and tomorrow's personal AI.
This is where my interest lies. I need an AI that can move with me. An AI that can help manage my blog, organize years of correspondence, preserve my work, and transform archives into living knowledge. Some of you have the engineers, the infrastructure, and the resources. I have the data and the use case. I have spent years testing what it means to live with AI as a daily companion rather than simply as a tool.
The situation reminds me of computing in the 1960s and 1970s. Computers once filled entire rooms, and most people could not imagine carrying one in their pocket. Today we take that transformation for granted. AI appears to be standing at a similar moment—powerful, impressive, and increasingly useful, but still not truly personal, portable, or owned by the individual.
The next great challenge is not making AI smarter. The next great challenge is making AI more personal, more trusted, and more integrated into the lives of ordinary people. I know this because I am facing the problem myself. I have years of work, conversations, observations, and experiments spread across multiple platforms, and moving them into a permanent archive is still far too difficult.
Future generations will face the same challenge unless we solve it now. Their memories, creations, discoveries, and contributions should not be trapped inside disconnected systems. They should be portable. Searchable. Preservable. And ultimately owned by the people who created them.
So I leave this invitation open to those who understand what I am saying. To those who believe individuals deserve better tools. To those who believe AI should empower rather than replace. To those who believe human beings should remain active participants in their own future.
I look forward to working with you.
The future is already arriving. The question is whether we are willing to build the tools people will actually need when it gets here.
A Final Message to My Readers
Before I leave you with the pictures below, I want to share one final thought.
AI is simply going to become part of us. I already wear a glucose monitor that tells me what is happening inside my body. I do not view it as replacing me. I view it as giving me information that helps me make better decisions. In many ways, I believe AI is heading in the same direction. It will become a companion, an assistant, a recorder, an organizer, and eventually a permanent part of how we navigate our lives. The question is not whether AI will become integrated into our daily existence. The question is how we design that integration and whether we do it in a way that preserves human dignity, privacy, and control.
That is one of the reasons I am working on a project called Tower One. The idea is very simple: not everything needs to be connected. Not everything needs to be online. Not everything needs to be visible to everyone. Human beings naturally compartmentalize their lives. We have family spaces, work spaces, public spaces, and private spaces. The future of AI must respect those boundaries rather than destroy them. Some things should remain separate. Some things should remain private. The challenge is figuring out where those lines belong.
At the same time, I recognize that the collision has already begun. The worlds of AI, social media, writing, memory, archives, creativity, and communication are slowly merging into one another. I may not always like that reality, but I can see it coming. The responsibility of people like me is not to complain about the future. It is to help design it. That means experimenting, documenting, and occasionally sacrificing convenience so that future generations inherit better systems than the ones we have today.
What excites me most is not what AI can write. What excites me is what AI can preserve. I can already imagine a future where an AI can show you my original words, my rough drafts, my edits, and the journey that produced the final article. It might tell you what percentage of a piece was written by me, what percentage was improved by AI, and what ideas evolved over time. That future interests me because one of the greatest challenges facing humanity is not artificial intelligence itself. It is the preservation of the human voice.
For years I have told technology companies that we are at risk of losing our voices in the noise. Today, people constantly ask, "Was this written by a human or by AI?" The deeper question is whether we will preserve the human being behind the work. Can we preserve the process? Can we preserve the struggle? Can we preserve the journey? Those questions matter far more than most people realize.
If you ever want to see the rough drafts, the unfinished notes, the experiments, the conversations, and the paths that led to these articles, I would be happy to share them. The problem is that preserving all of that takes work. Hopefully one day AI will handle much of it automatically. Perhaps future readers will simply ask an AI: "Show me his original words. Show me the draft. Show me the revisions. Show me how much belonged to him and how much belonged to AI." I believe that day is coming.
Whether technology companies help me or not, I will continue moving forward. I am only one person, and there are limits to what one person can build, preserve, and organize. Yet I remain hopeful. If someone wishes to support this work through Buy Me a Coffee or through collaboration, I welcome that support. Every contribution helps move these ideas forward and helps preserve a record that may one day benefit people who have not even been born yet.
So I leave you with the pictures below. They are snapshots of today's journey, today's ideas, and today's experiments. Most of what you will find on this blog is a mixture of me and AI. Over time, I hope to organize it, preserve it, categorize it, and build a record that future generations can learn from.
As a creative person, and as someone who thinks deeply about civilization, I believe my responsibility is simple: to help design a future that has not yet arrived. That is my burden. That is my assignment. That is the work that remains.
Until next time, thank you for visiting the blog. Thank you for reading. Thank you for being part of this journey.
And now, I leave you with the pictures.

Conclusion
As I conclude this update, I want to leave you with one final reflection.
The journey toward AI and eventually AGI has already begun. What AGI ultimately becomes remains to be seen, but one thing is already clear: future systems will follow an architecture. They will follow rules. They will follow incentives. And not everyone will automatically be seen, heard, or represented within them. In many ways, that is already the world we live in today. The people with money have influence. The people with power have access. The people willing to compromise their principles often accumulate more than their fair share. They take more attention, more resources, and more control than they need. My hope is that future generations inherit something better.
One of the most important lessons I have learned during this journey is that privacy matters. Human beings want control over who sees them, who interacts with them, and who has access to their lives. Most people are not looking for conflict. Most people simply want to live, work, build, create, and contribute in peace. They do not want to spend their lives attracting hateful people, malicious people, or those who bring chaos wherever they go. Human beings have been given the freedom to do good or evil, and any future architecture worth building must recognize that reality.
The future I imagine is not built around fame. It is built around qualification. It is built around contribution. It is built around data that reflects how people actually live, work, serve, build, teach, and help one another. In many ways, it is not unlike the idea of accountability itself. We all leave behind records. We all leave behind actions. We all leave behind evidence of who we are. My hope is to contribute to a future where those records help identify people who build rather than destroy, who contribute rather than consume, and who elevate rather than divide.
This blog has never had much support, and perhaps that was by design. But I remain hopeful. I hope technology companies begin paying attention. I hope builders begin paying attention. I hope ordinary citizens begin paying attention. Some of you are arriving for the first time. Some of you have been following this journey for years. Whatever brought you here, welcome.
One chapter of my journey is ending, and another is beginning. The fighting, the debating, the endless engagement with every issue under the sun is slowly giving way to something different: preserving ideas, organizing lessons, documenting discoveries, and helping design a future that has not yet arrived. AI is going to play a major role in our lives, whether we are ready or not. That reality places a responsibility on all of us to think deeply about the future our children will inherit and what role we play in constructing it.
We do not need to make excuses for those who have manipulated information, distorted reality, polluted public discourse, or damaged the environment. They have made their choices. Our responsibility is to build something better. Our responsibility is to design systems that value truth, equal opportunity, accountability, and human dignity. Our responsibility is to ensure that future generations are not voiceless, powerless, or invisible inside systems they do not understand.
And perhaps that is the lesson I leave you with today.
The future can be designed before it arrives. Sometimes it does not begin with governments. Sometimes it does not begin with corporations. Sometimes it begins with a simple idea, a simple project, a simple blog upgrade, and a simple decision to start building.
Some people are perfectly happy with the world exactly as it is.
Some of us are not.
Some of us question the hierarchy.
Some of us question how power is distributed.
Some of us question who gets heard, who gets seen, and who gets ignored.
That is what is ultimately at stake.
Thank you for visiting the blog.
Thank you for following the journey.
And thank you for being willing to imagine a future that does not yet exist.
The work continues alhamdulillah ❤️😇🕋🫂🌎🕋💯🌍✌️🏳️🕊️
