AI can't replace people with this quality: Telegram founder says it outlasts intelligence or creativity
Finding the Positive in All Situations

The Moral Compass Strength
In a world where artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly capable of mimicking human intelligence and creativity, some traits remain beyond its reach. One of them, according to Telegram founder Pavel Durov, is a moral compass — a quality he believes will hold its value even in the most technologically advanced future.Marking his father's 80th birthday, Durov took to X (formerly Twitter) to share three lessons that have shaped his life. His father, a prominent scholar and leading authority on Ancient Roman literature, has had a profound influence on both Pavel and his brother through his work ethic, perspective, and moral grounding. Drawing from his father's life and wisdom, Durov shared these lessons that have shaped his values and approach to leadership.Durov's first lesson revolved around the idea that actions speak louder than words. He explained that his father's tireless work on books and academic research provided a real-life example of discipline and perseverance. Growing up, witnessing this consistent dedication instilled in him the belief that true leadership comes from demonstrating values through personal conduct, rather than simply talking about them.The second piece of advice centered on maintaining an optimistic outlook, even in challenging times. Durov shared that his father's formative years in post-war Leningrad taught him to manage his emotions and focus on being a positive force for those around him. This mindset, he said, encouraged framing thoughts in ways that could create the most good, regardless of circumstances.The third and most striking lesson, according to Durov, was the emphasis on conscience. Through years of studying and translating the works of historical figures like Julius Caesar and Seneca, his father observed that morality consistently outlasts talent. Durov stressed that while intelligence and creativity may one day be replicated or surpassed by AI, a strong moral compass is a distinctly human quality that will retain its value indefinitely.By sharing these insights, Durov showed the importance of principles and character in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. His father's wisdom, shaped by decades of scholarship and life experience, offers a reminder that the human element remains vital — even as artificial intelligence advances.
