On “Cloning Yourself” to Scale Your Soul
This is the new religion:
Outsource your presence.
Automate your personality.
Become a hologram with a payment plan.
“Clone yourself so you don’t have to show up.”
Translation:
Detach from your own life, sell likeness instead of substance,
and hope no one notices the emptiness behind the curtain.
Everyone wants to be a brand.
No one wants to be a person.
We are raising a generation who is famous to strangers
and unknown to themselves.
Listen:
If the work requires you, show up.
If you can’t show up, maybe stop calling it your work.
Presence does not scale.
Soul does not outsource.
Attention cannot be delegated.
Yes — automate tasks.
Yes — simplify.
Yes — make tools serve you.
But do not automate your being.
When you replace your own voice with a digital puppet,
you don’t gain freedom —
you gain distance from yourself.
The algorithm will love your clone.
The world will applaud the efficiency.
But you will feel the quiet death
—the one no one else sees.
And one day you will ask:
“What is left that is mine?”
Stand in your life.
Speak your own words.
Be the one who is actually breathing in your body.
Everything else is theater.
