Seneca, and being human

I first read Seneca as a teenager, and I think his ideas may be more relevant than ever.

As AI becomes increasingly capable of doing things we once considered uniquely human, we may start questioning what gives our lives meaning. Seneca offers a different perspective: what matters is not so much what we can accomplish, but how we exercise judgment, what we value, and how we choose to live.

Perhaps, in an age increasingly focused on what machines can do, we need to think more carefully about what it means to be human.
