Modern Mind — Knowledge Base for the AI Age
Research-backed concepts for preserving human thinking, judgment, and agency while using AI productively.
Not anti-AI · Not blindly pro-AI · Pro-human
Explore the Knowledge BaseAI is advancing fast. Our understanding isn't keeping up.
The risk isn't that AI replaces us. It's that we quietly outsource our thinking without realizing it — and wake up unable to do the work that once defined us.
We don't need more hype. We need wisdom.

Who It's For
How to Use It
Educators
Start with cognitive-debt (the core problem) → fluency-bias (why it's hard to notice) → think-first (what to teach).
Corporate Trainers
jagged-frontier has BCG data that makes the case. calibration gives participants a decision tool to take home.

Why Open Source
Emerging field
Needs diverse perspectives — scientists (behavioral, cognitive, learning), ethicists, practitioners, educators.
Urgent issue
AI capabilities advancing faster than our wisdom about using them.
Too many frameworks
Instead of adding to the noise, building one shared source of truth.
Knowledge should be open
Not locked behind paywalls or proprietary training programs.
Who's Behind This
I'm Paweł Jarmołkowicz. After 20 years building technology, I've become focused on how we adopt and use it wisely.
I can't do this alone. That's the point.
This KB is designed to be bigger than one person's perspective. That's why it's open source.
