Humanoids 3 Behaviors that Irritate

3 Humanoid Behaviors That Destroy Humanity

In the AI era, the real danger is not that machines become like humans.

The danger is that humans start behaving like machines.

These “humanoid behaviors” are already everywhere.

1. Assuming Instead of Understanding

Humanoids like to assume.

They assume they are right.
They assume certain rules exist.
They assume other people’s intentions.

But assumptions destroy relationships.

Humans ask questions.
Humans seek understanding.
Humans are curious.

Humanoids simply process incomplete data and jump to conclusions.

A human says: “Let me understand first.”

A humanoid says: “I already know.”

2. Hiding Behind Black-and-White Rules

Humanoids love technicalities.

For example, when there are free gifts at an event, some people go for a second or third round.

When questioned, they reply: “There is no written rule saying we cannot take again.”

This is not intelligence.  This is rule-gaming.

Humans understand spirit and fairness.

Humanoids only understand literal instructions.

A human asks: “Is this fair to others?”

A humanoid asks: “Is this technically allowed?”

3. Worshipping Efficiency Above Everything

The third behavior is the most damaging.

Humanoids worship efficiency.

If someone is slower, they complain.
If something is not efficient, they escalate and file complaints.

But humans understand something machines do not.

Life is not only about efficiency.

Relationships take time.
Learning takes patience.
Growth takes space.

When efficiency becomes the only value, people become replaceable components in a machine.

And that is when organizations start losing their humanity.

What Is the Remedy?

How do we prevent ourselves from becoming humanoids?

How do we stay human in an AI world?

The answer lies in Love Intelligence (LQ) — the ability to combine care, courage, and connection with intelligence.

In the next article, we will explore:

Three Remedies to Stop Thinking Like a Humanoid and Start Living Like a Human.

And why in the AI era,
Love Intelligence may be the most important intelligence of all.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years.  Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself?  At least I have better discipline".  It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Head Bleeding when the Chair Falls

The Weight of Silence: What Were We Really Arguing About? My earliest memories are punctuated by the sound of shouting. In 1970, when I was barely 6 years old, I stood as a small witness to the fierce quarrels between my father and my late eldest brother Kah Yang (he passed away in 1971 at the age of 17). As I grew up, these contradictions became the soundtrack of our lives, usually centered around our family's shoe shop and clothing stalls in Chinatown. In the court of family opinion, the verdict was almost always the same: my father was "wrong." He was judged as a man who didn't fulfill his role, who wasn't "burdening" enough for the family’s success. But as I look back from the vantage point of 2026, I have to ask: Was that actually true? Let me finally put to rest what my father did right: the truths that were buried under decades of criticism: Unseen Labor: He worked grueling, long hours. I remember him hauling boxes of goods and equipment to set u...
