Mind :: Mined

Since September 2022, a motto + practice of mine has been:  ​"Use AI. Don't let AI use you."
​With my prompting, this post's image was generated by AI on NightCafe.

​It is not coincidence
that "mind" and "mined"
sound the exact same.

The mind is meant to be
excavated, deeply dug into,
and extracted from.

Just as Earth has been
excavated, deeply dug into,
and extracted from.

Humans use excavated iron,
granite, coal, copper, gold, etc. 
And, what organic materials
are surfaced from our mind?
