👋 Hey ,
 
This week we’re looking at everything from the 19th-century invention of "linear time" to the digital vivariums that reimagine what nature looks like in a post-analog age. We’re also navigating the "technological adolescence" of AI, questioning where the soul ends and the computation begins. 


💌 P.S. We’re also looking for a new Business Development Manager to join the court and lead our growth in the Benelux market. If you have the drive to bridge logic and magic, we want to hear from you.

Enjoy,


Your Majesty
