No AI help here — no suggestions, no autocomplete, nothing finishing your sentences. That is deliberate. Working out what you think is effortful, and the effort is the part that changes you: reasoning is trained like a muscle, and a muscle that is always carried gets weaker. Let something else do the thinking and you keep the answer but lose the capacity to have reached it.
