The Noetic Eclipse

Noetic: of the mind, of thinking. An eclipse is when something you’ve always been able to count on is, for a while, overshadowed.

A friend described an existential feeling of being usurped by AI — not replaced at a job, but overshadowed at the one thing that felt most like ours. That’s a real feeling and it deserved a name. This is the name.

No product, no company. Just the phrase, held.
