The cognitive handoff didn't stop at productivity. It kept going—into therapy, teaching, coaching. The economics are brutal, and we're approaching a fork: wake up or become indistinguishable from the algorithms feeding us.- Published on
After years of feeding the digital noise, I met two men without phones: one who built Silicon Valley, one who lives in Morocco. Their shared gravity revealed what I had been ignoring: the signal lives in presence, not timelines.- Published on
