A new essay has just been published on my Substack, The Art of Being Human.

In “The End of Automatic Authority,” I examine one of the quiet revolutions unfolding around us. For much of history, authority was rooted in privileged access to knowledge. Today, that foundation is rapidly disappearing. The democratization of information, accelerated by artificial intelligence, is reshaping how we learn, whom we trust, and what it truly means to possess expertise.

This essay explores why authority, respect, experience, and judgment should no longer be viewed as inseparable, and why the future belongs not to those who simply know more, but to those who can think more clearly, exercise sound judgment, and help others navigate uncertainty. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read it, and, as always, I welcome your thoughts and discussion.
