Who is really doing the thinking when we think with AI? Today and tomorrow, I'm attending the international conference Re-examining AI / Rethinking Modernity on the beautiful Greek island of Corfu. Scientists, philosophers, and researchers from different countries have gathered here to discuss how artificial intelligence is changing our lives and what the future might hold. The topics are wide-ranging, from AI's impact on democracy, education, and creativity to questions about human thought, consciousness, freedom, and our future. Naturally, I'm most interested in the philosophical side of things. What will remain uniquely human if artificial intelligence eventually learns to do almost everything we can do today? I've also prepared a talk titled Who Is the Author When AI Helps Us Think? It's part of my ongoing research, Human Genius in the Age of AI, which I've been deeply engaged in lately. We've already learned to delegate many tasks that require thinking to artificial intelligence. But where do we draw the line? At what point does AI stop helping us think and start thinking for us? And when that happens, who is really the author of our ideas and decisions? #ArtificialIntelligence #PhilosophyOfAI #HumanGenius #OriginalHumanAgency #Corfu #Genialism

20 years of professional speaking, and I nearly failed on stage! This week, I gave another speech in Hungarian at a Toastmasters public speaking club in Budapest. I had been putting off preparing my next speech for a long time, sabotaging myself. But eventually, I realized that a gap of one year and nine months between speeches in Hungarian was far too long. So, nine days before the meeting, I volunteered to prepare my next practice speech at the B2–C1 level. I overestimated my abilities so much that I failed to notice something: almost my entire speech was built around abstract concepts. The very concepts I always tell my students are difficult both to memorize and to take in. And, most importantly, listeners find it extremely difficult, and often almost impossible, to retain them. It was only on the day of the speech that I finally understood why I simply could not learn my own speech. I had used at least three different approaches to memorizing it and put in an enormous amount of effort; still, I could not learn the whole thing. I had to use notes (which, in principle, is allowed, but I really did not want to). Still, there was no backing out. I gave the speech. Fortunately, the Hungarians in the audience really liked both the topic and the delivery. They were not bothered when I occasionally forgot words, mixed up word endings, or mispronounced something. And that evening, I even won the Best Speaker award! Now I am preparing my next speech. This will be my third speech in Hungarian. But this time, I have decided to move as far away from abstractions as possible, to fill my speech with stories, examples, and vivid images. Because I do not want to put myself through that kind of stress again. I drew a serious lesson from this. Or, rather, my own experience reminded me once again of what I teach others: if we want to be memorable, if we want to communicate information in a way that stays with people for a long time, our speeches need to be filled with stories. Abstractions can impress. They can sound powerful, sophisticated, and even scientific. But they are extremely difficult to remember. How do you prepare your speeches? What role do stories play in your presentations, and how much room do you give them? Share your experience! #Toastmasters #PublicSpeaking #Storytelling #LanguageLearning #Hungarian

You’re not making choices — your old neural patterns are. But science now proves: even your identity can be rewired. #awakenyourgenius #genius #motivation #neuroscience #personaldevelopment

The strange habit that separates real leaders from the noise. If you need approval, you’re not leading — you’re blending in. #awakenyourgenius #mindsetforsuccess #geniuswithin #mindset #geniusmindset

The brutal habit that keeps smart people broke. You call it patience. But it’s actually poverty in disguise. #mindset #genius #awareness #geniuswithin #geniusmindset

The most dangerous phrase smart people still say. It sounds responsible — but it silently kills your ambition, your growth, and your genius. #geniuswithin #mindset #motivation #geniusinsideyou #awareness

Greatness starts beyond your plan

Clarity is power. Complexity is noise

Your vision fits. Your identity doesn’t

Stop explaining. Start choosing

You’re not weird. You just woke up

Your story doesn’t define your power

Scarcity is a habit, not reality

Playing it safe costs your future

Protecting the past steals your future

You genius was not born for “normal”

Be infinite. Not acceptable.
