Richard Aronow's New MSN Essay "Reality at the Speed of Thought" Argues AI Is Collapsing the Distance Between Imagination and Reality

Buffalo, New York

Buffalo, New York, USA — September 16, 2026 — Entrepreneur and writer Richard Aronow has published his latest essay, Reality at the Speed of Thought, on MSN's Technology and Artificial Intelligence section. The piece is now available to read at MSN and offers a distinctive thesis on what artificial intelligence is actually doing to the relationship between human imagination and the world it produces.

For most of human history, Aronow argues, there was an enormous gap between imagining something and having the ability to create it. That gap defined the pace of human progress. AI is radically compressing it. And when human intention can alter reality at unprecedented speed, the essay contends, technology is no longer simply changing what people can do. It may be changing the role human intention plays in the ongoing story of our own evolution.

That framing is what distinguishes the piece. Rather than another commentary on capability or productivity, Reality at the Speed of Thought asks a larger question about what happens to a species when the friction between mind and world begins to disappear. It is written for editors, journalists, founders, technologists, and any thoughtful reader who is trying to make sense of a moment that most existing frameworks were not built to describe.

Aronow brings a distinctive vantage point to the argument. He co-created one of the earliest detox products to achieve national retail distribution, helping shape a category before it became mainstream. He has been involved in early online education initiatives and has worked across multiple industries where seeing what was emerging before it was widely recognised was central to what was built. His current focus is on early signals in areas including biotechnology and artificial intelligence, and the essay draws on that lens of watching how significant shifts move from unclear to obvious.

The essay's placement on MSN's Technology and Artificial Intelligence section reflects both the subject matter and the audience it is written for. MSN reaches a broad mainstream readership that spans professional, technical, and general-interest audiences, and the piece is positioned to reach readers who are actively thinking about what the current moment in AI actually means beyond the immediate news cycle. The publication on MSN gives readers an authoritative, editorially placed home for the essay and a direct point of entry to Aronow's larger body of thinking.

Reality at the Speed of Thought is available now on MSN. Readers, editors, and journalists interested in Aronow's argument or in the broader implications it raises are encouraged to read the essay in full at the link below.
