Humanity has stacked centuries of scientific progress, and yet at the individual level we are still asking the same questions the Greeks asked in Athens.")} {t("We rehearsed civilizational evolution without ever experiencing a leap in personal cognition.")}

{t("KAIST sharpened that observation — it didn't blur it. The friends I met here, by every metric the national peak of personal capability, are just as fragile in front of small life-questions as anyone else. People still spend their few decades re-asking the meaning of their lives, and lose much of what they had to the fear of death.")} {t("In my view, this is the single most important problem in front of us — more than AI, more than robotics, more than any deep-tech we keep naming in the same sentence.")}

{t("And it isn't only philosophy's job. Schopenhauer once complained that a book is forced to march from first sentence to last; in the 21st century, vector and graph-based knowledge structures dissolved that limitation entirely. The question that looks purely philosophical turns out to touch very specific technical surfaces.")}

Since October 2025, at Prof. Kab-jin Kim's KAIST Ultrafast Spin Dynamics Lab, the topic is domain-wall mass and inertia in ferrimagnets. I am also a reviewer on the Korean edition of Inoue & Itoh's spintronics textbook.")}
