Dominion (1/3)
The first part of a three-part reflection exploring the historical relationship between intelligence and power. This essay revisits a simple equation that has shaped the evolution of life on Earth: the capacity to think, adapt, and cooperate has always determined who leads and who follows. Today, with the emergence of artificial intelligence, that equation is being questioned for the first time, opening the possibility that intelligence may lead not to domination, but to alliance.
