Kim Aronson

I grew up in Copenhagen, Denmark, in the 1960s and ‘70s, a restless, creative child who struggled with reading and writing. Though I didn’t know it at the time, I was dyslexic, which made traditional learning frustrating. But give me markers, glue, or anything I could create with, and I was in my element. Creativity became my way of making sense of the world, an outlet for the ideas and questions that filled my mind. I’ve always been drawn to technology, especially when it allows for new forms of self-expression. In 1995, I sat in front of a computer at a library event in Copenhagen and saw the internet for the first time. I was mesmerized. That moment sparked a lifelong fascination with digital tools. Soon, I was creating custom icons, experimenting with animation, and developing online services. Over the years, I launched projects ranging from a spiritual search engine (ZenSearch) to a Danish social network (Mandala). Still, my most successful venture was founding the online dating site Soulmate, which led to several US-based dating platforms. I still don’t consider myself a traditional writer. Writing has always been difficult for me, but I’ve never lacked ideas or insights to share. That’s where AI and Large Language Models (LLMs) come in—not as a replacement for creativity but as a bridge that allows me to express my thoughts more clearly. With these tools, I can communicate the ideas, wisdom, and perspectives I’ve gathered over a lifetime in a way that resonates with others. I have always been deeply curious about life’s big questions: Why are we here? What are we meant to learn? What does it mean to live wisely? Over the years, I’ve explored many spiritual traditions, read countless books, and sought understanding in both philosophy and daily life. I’ve never committed to a single practice or belief system, but creativity has been my constant—a way of exploring, discovering, and making meaning. My books are an extension of this journey. They are for seekers, thinkers, and anyone looking to understand themselves and the world more profoundly. Through philosophy, spirituality, or personal growth, I hope my work offers insights and inspiration to those on their own paths of discovery.
