Reason Retirement

Vladimir Dietrich · June 23, 2025 ·2 min read

Eureka?

Artificial intelligence may retire the left side of our brain. The reason. The science. The logic.

This reason, science and logic that diminish the space of feelings, sensations, emotions.

To create artificial intelligence, humans everywhere boil their reason. Your logic. The left side of their brain. Then comment something like “I regret not spending so much time with my daughters when they were little.”

Very young children are pure right side of the brain: emotion.. Feeling.

Missing children specifically “when they were little” may mean “missing feeling emotional. From feeling”.

Because we will have all the time in the world to feel and be moved.

Won't we?

The first thing artificial intelligence can retire is the human need to rationalize, list, calculate, use the left side of the brain.

We are still at the peak of the left side of the brain: money overflows into reason and technology companies, with super-scholars from STEM colleges (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) often being founding partners flooded with dollars.

How does such a hyper-rational society feel?

And its inverse: how does a society feel with the right side of the brain returning to dominate?

The death that some researchers fear may be the death of reason, not the death of the world as in the movie “the terminator”.

Most current artificial intelligence researchers focus on reason and logic. When you are all reason, the death of reason is like the death of the person.

But it is possible to migrate a life full of reason and logic to a life full of feeling and emotion.

Only for those who are all rational does the death of reason appear to be the death of the whole person.

We will feel and be moved again, collectively.

Large constructions will attract other types of profiles, no longer STEM - I think.

Because artificial intelligence will take care of reason, logic, lists, rankings, on its own.

Finally, there will be room for feelings and emotion.

What will it be like? In large buildings - like today - or will emotion prefer to happen in small local businesses? Large straight, glass buildings, or ornate ones? Or locally - and in what way?

The profile changing, the society changes.

This text is a little difficult due to my failure as a writer. But here is the concept I am seeing, and I already apologize not only for the dry text, without pleasant stories and, even worse, possibly with a totally wrong thesis. The originality - wrong or not - I think I am delivering, even if in a poorly written way. If I can, I will improve this text as soon as I have this ability and time.
