What happens when your brain outruns your voice?
In this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, Ed Fassio shares a strange and revealing side effect of living in the fast lane of artificial intelligence: the growing disconnect between accelerated thinking and real-time speech. As AI tools boost cognitive speed, some users are beginning to feel a surprising new friction — struggling to articulate thoughts that come too fast for the human mouth to translate.
“If AI is the accelerator of thought, then speech is the brake. And both are needed to move forward safely.”
From stammered sentences to moments of mental braking, Ed explores what he calls AI-Induced Cognitive Desynchronization (AICD) — a phenomenon affecting high-processing professionals, neurodivergent minds, and anyone whose workflow is now shaped by generative AI.
This is more than a story about tech. It’s a reflection on the biological limits of speech, the emotional cost of being misunderstood, and what it means to remain human in a world that moves faster than we can speak.

- Cognitive acceleration through AI tools
