As AI grows more powerful, the question is no longer just what machines can do. It is whether human beings still know how to govern themselves. In an essay he wrote for Palladium Magazine titled “The Dostoevskian Moment,” James Poulos argues that our technological age is forcing an older question back into view: what does real self-mastery require?
