“"The field that defines wellbeing in the age of AI will not be the one with the most citations or the longest history. It will be the first one that shows up at the design table with frameworks engineers can actually understand and use."”

“"Connection that costs nothing builds nothing."”

“"A life one never struggles to choose is a life someone else is choosing for you."”

“"Wellbeing is not something to be optimized. Wellbeing is something humans must be able to author themselves."”

“"This is concerning because the difference between optimizing measurable correlates of wellbeing and supporting genuine wellbeing is the difference between creating a meaningful life vs. an efficiently managed one."”

“"We are the last generation that will influence what wellbeing means before AI systems optimize it for us anyway."”
