The nature of awareness, experience, and what it means to be conscious in an age of artificial minds.
From UFO counsel to neighborhood fear to market pricing—reality emerges through weighted witnessing. A field guide to the computational machinery where intent, energy, and expectations become causal forces.
A severed cat head appears on my Bay Area street. The real violence isn't what was done to the animal—it's what happens next in our networked minds. A forensic analysis of how small horrors become information weapons, and why your neighborhood protocol matters more than your Ring camera.
Every evening, my wall becomes a theater of light and mind. Through a repeatable experiment with caustics and cognition, I'm exploring how reality supplies fragments while our priors supply the wings—and what this means for how we build shared worlds.
A meta-reply to an X ping that became a meditation on how information becomes wisdom—and whether AI can truly "experience" anything. Featuring ritual tech, recursive replies, and why communities must optimize for experience density.
Every ambitious person has that project they've been 'thinking about' for a year. The bug isn't in your execution—it's in the operating system you're running. A conversation about fear, comfort, and the meta-patterns that keep us stuck.
A random encounter with a mathematical theorem kept me awake wondering: What if the LASSO estimator isn't just solving optimization problems, but revealing how the universe creates backdoors through impossibility?
A chance encounter with someone saying "I stay in Lagos" revealed how substrate languages shape English differently, creating windows into how cultures imagine permanence, place, and belonging.
After three seasons of garden failures, I discovered something unsettling: how I kill plants reveals exactly how I sabotage everything else. A mathematician's breakthrough and my own cucumber catastrophes led to an uncomfortable philosophy.
Exploring the cosmic imperative driving information and energy toward infinite growth—and why funding your future-self becomes a spiritual practice in disguise.
A WhatsApp about sound bath workflow loops became accidental cosmology. Three options when facing resistance: redirect, interpret as message, or recognize it as the optimization signal itself.
People screenshot my posts instead of liking them. They reference ideas weeks later that never got a single public comment. This personal observation opens into something bigger: how engagement retreats into darkness while machines feast on the open web.
Reading about the Thiel Fellowship's success revealed something deeper than unicorn conversion rates. The contrarian question isn't just a filter—it's the operating system for how neurons, humans, and universes optimize themselves through deliberate deviation.
