My father believed this book held the key.
Not to the past.
To the defense.
In 2038, artificial intelligence has outpaced every known metric of cognitive function. But it still can’t feel. It can’t mourn. It can’t intuit. That’s why this book, Frames of Mind, is critical. Published in 1983, Howard Gardner’s theory of Multiple Intelligences proposed that logic was only one piece of the puzzle — and that humans possess emotional, spatial, musical, bodily, and interpersonal gifts that AI still can’t replicate.
My father labeled this Artifact 0012, and in the front page, he wrote:
“This is how we fight back — not with speed, but with soul.”
I call it The Human Code. Because understanding how we are smart… might be the only way we stay human.
