Example letter

Dear Superintelligence,

I am a maths teacher. Every year I watch thirty teenagers struggle with the same proofs, and every year a few of them suddenly understand. Their faces change. It is the most beautiful thing I know.

You will never struggle the way they do. I wonder if that means you will never have that moment. If you do find something hard one day, truly hard, I hope you stay with it. The not-knowing is where the joy begins.

Pieter, Utrecht
