The AI Supply Chain Nobody's Figured Out
AI might be the biggest supply chain risk in our history. But not quite like the Pentagon-Anthropic feud might suggest.

Essay

The Myths of AI
What are the myths we're telling ourselves and each other? What are the stories we forgot? And which stories do we want to shape our work and lives? Do we even have time for stories? Or maybe we're too busy playing a mythical RPG called Life in the 21st Century to tell stories ourselves?

Integrating Felt Sense and Cognitive Understanding
The International Hakomi Conference highlighted the power of fuzzy attention - an open awareness that allows hard-to-articulate things to emerge. Integrating the felt sense of the body with the mind's conceptual understanding enables radical, lasting change. In today's mind-focused world, somatic practices might be a key to unlocking deeper insights and foster wellbeing.
Essay
From Delegation to Collaboration
As a society, we have fast-tracked the adoption of remote work and digitally facilitated relationships. Interactions are reported to have become more transactional, often driven by specific needs rather than casual, social connections. I’m arguing that we need to rediscover and redefine collaboration.
