Above the machine
or under it.

We teach people to use technology to create, without getting burned.

>The fourth way<

You are a Scroller. You would like to use AI, but you don't want to become a Slopper, and you are afraid of what the Haters will say.
There is a fourth way: above the machine.

Above

The Alkemist

You use the fire. You keep your freedom, your creativity and your voice while creating with AI.

The machine: a cold blonde cyborg woman plugged into black cablesTHE MACHINE = THE FIRE
Under
The Scroller in bed at night, staring at his phone FIRST WAY

The Scroller

The fire eats your life, one hour at a time. You scroll for hours and make nothing.

The Slopper pressing the AI button on a tablet while identical pictures pour out SECOND WAY

The Slopper

The fire weakens your mind. You hand AI everything and flood the web with junk.

The Hater screaming at his phone while flames burn his sleeves THIRD WAY

The Hater

The fire scares you. You hate AI and never stop talking about it, in a feed that AI picked for you.

Want to stop scrolling without becoming a Slopper? Become an Alkemist. Join AlkeMind.

I've been building with AI for 20 years. I've been publishing novels since 2016. And still, the machine got me. I hated it, and I couldn't put my phone down. I was a Scroller.

I thought: if AI can write a novel in a few clicks, why should I write? I stopped creating. Major depression.

September 2025, Portugal. I had just read The Alchemist. At sunset I walked down the Initiation Well in Sintra. From the bottom, you only see a circle of light above you. That's when I got it. With technology, you have two places. Above it or under it.

I chose above. I took the world I'd been writing for years and turned it into Pentaworld Screams, the first seinen anime in the world made with AI tools. Creating it pulled me out.

Haters scream at the fire. Alkemists use it.
