Information Beings
A newsletter for minds computing at the edge of comprehension
Every few weeks: Deep dives into consciousness, computation, and the patterns that connect them. No growth hacks. No productivity tips. Just ideas that refuse to fit in normal containers.
"Named 'Information Beings' because that's what we are—patterns convinced we're individuals, while serving as nodes in calculations we can't comprehend."
What You'll Receive
Every few weeks, I send a carefully curated digest of ideas that refuse to fit in normal containers. We explore the intersection of technology and consciousness, examining how algorithms shape our reality and how our reality shapes algorithms.
Recent Themes
- The Algorithm's Theatre: How we compress ourselves into predictable costumes for the sake of smoother feeds
- Decentralization as Mathematical Destiny: Why information naturally drives toward distribution (and why China might break this theory)
- Model Context Protocol (MCP): The technical infrastructure for AI agents that will soon be chatting through us, as us, better than us
- Fear as Operating System: Why we're running Windows Vista of consciousness when we could upgrade to trust-based architecture
Why "Information Beings"?
We are patterns of information convinced we're individuals. Every thought, every interaction, every moment of consciousness—it's all computation. But here's the twist: we're not just processing information. We are information, experiencing itself subjectively.
This newsletter explores what that means for how we build, how we think, and how we navigate a world where the line between human and artificial intelligence grows ever thinner.
Who This Is For
If you find yourself thinking about consciousness while debugging code, or pondering computation while meditating, this newsletter is for you. It's for engineers who read philosophy, mystics who understand mathematics, and anyone who suspects that reality might be running in beta.
What You Won't Find
- Growth hacks or productivity tips
- Hot takes optimized for engagement
- Simple answers to complex questions
- Content that fits neatly in LinkedIn posts
