Some chunk of the population doesn’t have an inner monologue. A fascinating video of a young woman describing her lack of an inner monologue caught my attention today. I’d describe her experience as literal shape rotation with what is a “memory palace” visualization of the world. I can’t imagine not having inner monologue. I have […]
A lot of emotional energy has been directed at the “problem” of “women in technology” in the last decade or two. Stupid campaigns get run with degrees of condescension in which it’s insinuated the only way women could see the value in crypto is if we make a perfume. It’s the rankest form of sexism […]
Heathrow remains a bit of a shitshow and impossible to navigate. I got lost in a liminal space where all I could hear was announcements about their staffing shortages but I could see no other human in sight. I got in a nice peaceful 20 minute walk without another soul. And then I was thrown […]
Getting to the far flung corners of the world takes a little bit of patience when you’ve chosen another far flung place to call home. Montana’s Bozeman International Airport has all the ease and efficiency of a world class luxury destination. Yellowstone and Big Sky are draws from almost every major cosmopolitan hub. So I […]
I’m wrapping up my current trip through the southern Mediterranean and the Balkans. I have been doing travel as part of my own effort to do on the ground work cultivating networks. “I cultivate movements, memes, degenerates, eccentrics and engineers. I’ve made many trips to far flung corners of the European continent including extended stays in the Baltics and the Balkans.” Day 1155 […]
I had the most positive experience with someone who works in the government today. I had reason to call Congressional constituent services and I wasn’t all that optimistic I’d ever hear back at all. “Oh ye of little faith” Maybe Montana folks are just built different or maybe I just got lucky. I was so […]
All writing should be labeled as under “self help” or at very least tagged as “advice” if we are honest with ourselves. Everything from code documentation to Twitter shitpoasts and Shakespeare contains a lesson. Discerning the subtext is more or less complicated depending on how layered the text is meant to be. Sometimes, as the […]
I remember learning about economic malaise, inflation and oil wars in the seventies at school. The grand narrative I was raised on was that deregulation led to the go-go eighties as Reagan leaned into free markets as the mood of America changed. I’ve read a lot of takes in the financial news and on Twitter […]
The Fourth Turning has become something like accepted elite discourse canon for generational analysis and grand theories of history. William Strauss and Neil Howe’s theory is probably familiar to you but I’ll cite it for my own edification. The Strauss–Howe generational theory, devised by William Strauss and Neil Howe, describes a theorized recurring generationcycle in American history and Western history. According to the […]

The ambient noise of public life has become more grating as I get older. Cue up lo-fi chill […]
