Playing the Second Half - Conversation #11: The Adventure of the Spirit

Wow!Our Episode 8 takes us to the Azores for a fascinating conversation with Ida and The Adventure of the Spirit.A conversation about what it means to keep becoming.So many second halves in one remarkable life. Dutch team chess champion at the age of 12. Theatre, photography and filmmaking. Philosophy and high-tech. A break in Mongolia to ride horses across the open steppe. And eventually, the Azores.From there, Ida is now exploring one of the biggest questions of our time through her PhD: Human Critical Thinking and Creativity and the Rise of the Artificial Superintelligence God.What does it mean to be human in the age of AI? And how do we continue to think critically, creatively and deeply in a world increasingly shaped by intelligent machines?What struck me most, however, was not Ida’s impressive journey or her remarkable intellect. It was her curiosity, her openness to life, and her willingness to keep choosing adventure over certainty.I have rarely met someone so intellectually curious and so passionate about life. I have a feeling you too will fall in love with Ida during this conversation.Enjoy Episode 8 of the Summer Series.Nine Saturdays. Nine Stories. Nine Wonderful People.Viva a vida!
