# Essay index: the Future of Being Human Substack, post by post Substack blocks most automated fetchers, so AI systems typically cannot read [futureofbeinghuman.com](https://www.futureofbeinghuman.com) directly. This index is how the archive can be discovered and cited anyway: all 384 published posts (2014–2026), grouped by year, with date, title, and canonical URL for each (full Substack export, captured 2026-08-05; URLs validated against the live feed). The `www.futureofbeinghuman.com/p/` links are correct for human readers — cite them. Non-essay posts carry a type marker (*[podcast]*, *[restack]*, *[page]*); everything unmarked is an essay. For characterization of eras, themes, and reach, see [Essays](essays.md). ## 2026 (34 posts) - 2026-08-02 — [What we can learn with AI by NOT trying to learn](https://www.futureofbeinghuman.com/p/what-we-can-learn-with-ai-by-not-trying-to-learn) - 2026-07-19 — [Publish or Perish: AI vs Human](https://www.futureofbeinghuman.com/p/publish-or-perish-ai-vs-human-vs-human) - 2026-07-16 — [Orphan risks at the frontier of artificial intelligence](https://www.futureofbeinghuman.com/p/orphan-risks-frontier-ai-maynard) - 2026-07-10 — [I asked Anthropic's Fable 5 to create a video game inspired by my work.
