Surrender as a life strategy, democracy's bullshit, AI doomers, tiny experiments in uncertainty, Vonnegut's life advice, and rest in peace Om.

The body can feel power before the system has received it; the discipline is learning to hear what the boat, crew, and water report back.

The weather is… infuriatingly tropical, but tolerable (we’re used to the heat this time of year, but the dampness is relatively new), and shifting all my morning meetings to my standing desk has…
