What if going faster wasn’t always a good idea?

One of the biggest promises of technology and AI is speed.

Automate, optimize, accelerate… save time.

But speed is a double-edged sword.

It’s like getting into a car that’s racing at full speed, without knowing where it’s headed.

The faster we go, the harder it becomes to stay in control. And if our speed exceeds our human ability to comprehend what’s happening, how can we measure the consequences?

Speed only makes sense if we know exactly where we want to go. Otherwise, we’re just amplifying our mistakes and rushing into the unknown… increasing the risks.

Technology gives us an illusion of control, a promise of rapid and efficient transformation. But real change, the kind that is sustainable and meaningful, doesn’t depend on speed alone. It requires perspective, discernment, and a clear vision of the impact of our choices.

If we don’t question what we’re doing, accelerating will only make the problems worse.

Speed is only a strength when it serves a consciously chosen direction.
