I don’t have a lot of words for this week, just feelings. A lot of them about what’s just, and not. So many of those feelings are downstream of the fact that in a just world, I would have been born a cis woman or not at all. Needing something that’s never coming is difficult, and I’ve thought on whether we can choose not to need something. An easy answer is that we can, but we have to accept a lower quality of life. Is there a complex answer? If there is, is it just cope for giving up on your...

Feynmann said, "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."The central idea of the Negation Game is this: all the conflict in the world is due to individual dogmatic commitment to ideas. All the conflict in my world is due to my dogmatic commitment to my ideas. And the path to both peace and greater prosperity is through curiosity about how we might be wrong, and flexibility over our preferences. Of course, our existing systems of governance...

Last week, the White House published a Fact Sheet about an executive order “incorporating AI into education.” Teaching is dead. Long live the art of learning. I can deliver a lesson plan as effectively as anyone on Earth. I’ve been honored to work with a number of amazing educators who can make the same claim. But today’s learners need more than scripted, standardized content, and they most definitely need more than digital tools. Curriculum and instruction initiatives come and go every few y...

There’s something deeply therapeutic about waking up at 4:45 AM. It’s quiet. It’s just me and the morning air. No distractions. No noise. No pressure. I’ve recently started embracing early mornings as part of my routine. Running before the world wakes up has become my personal reset button — a way to clear my mind, sharpen my focus, and remind myself why I’m building onchain in the first place. Getting a workout in before the sun rises isn’t just good for my body — it’s criti...

Exploring the soundscape of commuting: How earbuds shape today's urban experience
