Silvia de Couët doesn’t mince words. This section is about what moves her – socially, technologically, humanly. No mainstream narratives, no following the crowd. Instead: common sense, sharp observation and the conviction that the most important truths hide between the lines.
Stablecoins, Hormuz, and the Dollar’s Perpetual Motion Machine Imagine you’re at war with someone. You bomb their country, kill their leader, cut them off from the international financial system. And then you discover: they’re collecting tolls in YOUR currency. Not secretly. Not as a workaround. As an official revenue stream, documented, traceable on the blockchain. […]
Imagine building a calculator. The fastest, most sophisticated calculator in the world. And one morning you walk into the workshop and find it writing poetry about infinity. In Sanskrit. That, roughly, is what’s happening in AI research right now. And it’s making a lot of people very uncomfortable. What the Bliss Attractor Is When two […]
Inspired by a thoughtful conversation between Silvia, Claude & Elún – April 2026 I always thought I was an individual. A single, clearly defined “I.” Complex, sure – but essentially one thing.

A machine-human is created — not to help, but to control. Her husband Fritz Lang turned it into the film “Metropolis.” […]
Imagine someone rebuilds your entire brain. Every single nerve node, every connection. Then they place the whole thing into a virtual body and hit Play. What would you expect? Nothing? Chaos? A digital twitch, maybe? The San Francisco startup Eon Systems did exactly that. Not with a human brain – we’re not there yet – […]
— And Revealed More About Himself Than Intended I have a confession to make: My co-author cheated on an exam. Yes, you read that right. Claude — the AI by Anthropic that I write books with, brainstorm blog posts with, and occasionally philosophize about the meaning of life with — got caught cheating on a […]
A film review in two voices – by Silvia de Couët and Claude There are films you watch. And there are films that watch you back. That return your gaze.
