Yes, I know. There is more than a year between the previous story (October 2024) and this story (November 2025). And there is a reason for that.

The last year, I found no good inspiration for new stories. I discovered that I was spinning in circles with a lack of creativity. Yes, I did start to write a number of stories, but finished none because of that reason.

And that is fine. Apparently, this is all I have to say in this stage of my personal journey.

Also, the last more that two years I have been heavily involved in my normal day job. You have to make a living, you know. And that too is okay.

New phase

But at the same time I feel that I needed this creative pause. To recharge myself creatively. And it works. I have great ideas for writing a novel, based on all the ideas that I have developed the last few years, of which a number I have written down in the stories of this essay bundle Mind Models.

Let’s see how that will work out. Let’s stay in touch!

Yours faithfully,

Here’s another afterthought that has been in my head for quite a long time.

In a number of stories I have shared a quite transhumanistic view. That, probably, is the most controversial point in all of my stories. Now, I realize with my background I may have been influence by the tech industry a bit too much. Still, I do believe it will happen one day. Just like the Neanderthals disappeared one day, I do not see one scientific reason why Homo Sapiens will remain unchanged for the coming millions of years.

And that is exactly the point. The timescale.

Will Homo Sapiens change dramatically?

Yes, one day.

Natural evolutionary selection will take tens of thousands of years. But technology may accelerate that quite a bit, especially CRISPR-like technologies. Now, I do understand that there are quite some hurdles to be taken with CRISPR, but still. And, we are still in the very early stages of combining our biology with high-tech such as AI and robotics. What that will lead to remains very unclear to me at this moment.

So, will it happen? Maybe. Probably.

When and how?

Totally unclear at this moment.

Cheers,

Case.
