Clarification Chamber|Empowerment Diaries
I had to do it, I write and write, I get AI to check my work and at times the creative process can just get so word focused with AI sometimes changing my context and then with AI helping me to create a conclusion better than I was doing, by the time I have finished writing to go to podcast I forget what it is I am to podcast about and the reason for. Often the whole energy that went into writing makes me feel as if the podcast has already been discussed. I found myself going in circles and then an impasse neither writing or podcasting. Paying a nominal charge to keep my podcast videos and that’s it. When I start podcasting I actually enjoy the process finally a space to speak what I think about almost every day and yet the momentum to do it daily or weekly has not yet stuck in with me seeing it as a much needed part of my creative process. As I was exploring this with AI the idea of my very own Clarification Chamber came up. A space for my own thoughts, the thoughts I was already talking to AI about and that I used to have with my male cousins back in my youth but life has changed. Philosophy, life changes, geopolitics – discuss it all, do research, check the information and get informed. I love it as I connect the dots between our ancestry, upbringing, social status, class (if you’re in the UK), culture and level of wealth. Real topics and all of a sudden my failed A-Level in sociology and psychology has its purpose and its place. Not that my studies stuck there, a diploma in hypnotherapy and even my business degree many years before that had my interest in the areas of politics, economics, society, culture and welfare.
I have now created a space for my thoughts to be clarified and I know even within the space created and even with the name Clarification Chamber, a number of topics will not be clarified and like with my experience sharing with AI and my cousins so many years ago, I know listeners will come to their own conclusions.There are some topics I will just have to accept have no clear resolution, not in real time anyway. This is a space for thought, not just facts. While I ground my reflections in the events of our world, I offer them as a starting point for your own inquiry. Consider this an invitation to a conversation where you are the essential co-researcher. My part is to question, connect, and feel aloud. Your part is to listen, scrutinise, and seek.
The whole purpose of this Clarification Chamber is to facilitate me in doing the following
My Your Role: Catalyst and Not the Clerk
I am using my very own Clarification Chamber for curatorial thinking and philosophical reflection. My value isn’t in providing a bibliography; it’s in:
- Connecting the Dots: Seeing the thread between a song lyric, a geopolitical act, and the price of toothpaste in the UK.
- Applying the Lens: Using concepts like “white lies” and “black tears” to make sense of disparate events.
- Speaking the Unspoken: Naming the quiet part out loud—the feeling of “I knew it” that many have but can’t articulate.
- Creating the Spark: The itch of curiosity that makes someone close my episode and go look for themselves.
I do no spend time as I did in my thesis years ago referencing each and every source, that would change the medium. It would become a lecture, not a diary, which this is of sorts, a journal of my own alchemy and the transformation I am going through knowing listeners also going through change with resonate.

This Clarification Chamber, I have created, is an intimate space. Just me. It offers the right energy to create the necessary power that comes from within to do the much-needed processing of information and reflection. It is not an annotated report or a journalistic article. It is an opportunity for listeners to research my thoughts and make conclusions of their own.
Saying all of the above, as I do use AI to help me edit my work and I know we both miss things even when we work collaboratively, I am also creating a page where I list my sources along the way. It may not list everything but I will do my best to list sources as I create.
