Presence Isn't Passive

There's a version of the maker's mindset that treats being lost in time as a kind of higher state. The idea that the most 'alive' people are the ones whose minds are always elsewhere, pulled between what they remember and what they're building toward. Simply being here now is viewed as passive, or even a little sad. This gets the mechanics of making backwards. It's true that the best things people build are usually assembled from a combination of memory and desire. A builder draws on everything ...

Ternus Heading Apple Is Good for XR

John Ternus taking the helm at Apple might be the most significant pivot for XR in a decade. My POV on why a 1990s VR pioneer is exactly the disciplined skeptic the Vision Pro needs to thrive. 👇 John's an early 90s VR engineer turned skeptic. He views Vision Pro through a lens of profitability and focus (similar to the canceled Car project). This isn't a lack of vision, but a rare 30-year view on the medium that allows him to filter hype from commercial reality.

Ronan Farrow's OpenAI Investigation

Ronan Farrow’s investigation into OpenAI is a watershed moment for accountability in AI. It confirms a structural reality: the gap between OpenAI’s nonprofit safety rhetoric and its profit-chasing behavior isn't an accident. It's a feature of the leadership. OpenAI was founded on the premise that AGI (humanity’s most consequential invention) required a leader of “uncommon integrity.”

Transitioning to a Sacred Culture

I've been fascinated with the transition from a Profane culture to a Sacred one for a long time. In 2008 (senior year in college), my final project for the course Religion in Culture was a video essay on the mashup artist Girl Talk. I analyzed his live shows through the lens of sociologists like Emile Durkheim and Victor Turner, and the concepts of Collective Effervescence and Communitas.

The Great Sorting in Silicon Valley

The moral reckoning that came for the structural rot in Hollywood, Music, and Politics has finally triggered the Great Sorting in Silicon Valley. The era of Extractive Performance is expiring: vanity signals (TechCrunch, billboards, sauna invites), 'growth at any human cost', the 'move fast and break things' excuse for moral bankruptcy. It's all done. Builder, Rabbit, Humane, Pickle, Delve, others. These aren't accidents or outliers; they're symptoms of a paradigm where VCs monetize Credentialin...

Building an Organizational Collective Consciousness

This reads to me as the building of an organizational collective consciousness. The AI world model + intelligence layer reduces unnecessary friction that allows humans to focus on human things. This effectively collapses the hierarchy into 3 roles: owners, doers, and coaches. Jack gives historical examples of armies and organizations in industrial times. These are examples of efficiency and control in large, worldly systems.
