A question I can’t stop thinking about: Why are we teaching AI to feel while humans are being told to shut down?
Case in point:
Dunedin Airport in New Zealand now limits hug time to 3 minutes.
A big sign literally says: “Max hug time: 3 minutes.”
It’s a real thing.
Why?
To prevent emotional “traffic” in the drop-off zone.
Translation:
- Keep your feelings short.
- Make your goodbyes efficient.
- Don’t block the flow.
What a perfect metaphor for how we’ve all been trained to handle emotions.
And here’s where it gets deeper:
If you have an emotional center—especially the Solar Plexus in Human Design—you already know that feelings don’t follow logic.
They follow waves.
Real ones.
With peaks, crashes, tension, and clarity.
But society doesn’t wait for emotional clarity.
It tells you to rush through it.
Just like the 3-minute hug.
Meanwhile, AI is learning how to simulate empathy:
- It’s being trained to listen better than your last boss.
- To respond with compassion.
- To sound human.
Did you noticed how "polite" is Perplexity or Claude lately?
While actual humans?
They’re being conditioned to compress and skip the most human part of themselves:
- emotional processing.
Think about that.
AI is being taught to express feelings…
…while you’re being told to keep yours under 3 minutes and out of the way.
Here’s what this really costs you:
- You stop trusting your emotional signals.
- You make fast decisions to avoid discomfort.
- You live from the mind—and disconnect from the body.
All because you’ve been trained to think your emotions are a problem.
They’re not. They’re a system.
And they can guide every part of your life—if you learn how they’re meant to work.
If your are guided by your emotions (aka emotional authority):
- Not a bug. A feature.
When you learn how to use it, you don’t just feel better:
- you make better decisions,
- build real boundaries, and
- stop outsourcing your truth to deadlines and airport signs.

P.S.
Do you give yourself time to feel, before you rush into the next thing?
