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 […]
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 […]
One of my Twitter mutuals Visa of Friendly Ambitious Nerd fame has a meme format he’s perfected with the Scylla and Charbrydis mythos that has become colloquially known as ayy lmao. If one must sail between monsters representing inescapable and opposing existential threats (yes that’s a metaphor for life) then the only path through is […]
The most gratifying part of early stage startup investing is the vitality. When you are in the mindset of optimism, all things are possible. I first met Isaiah Taylor about a year ago.

Distribution of information has changed a lot in my lifetime which has shaken the business of media. Some generational powers like Vogue have managed to hang on even as the internet democratized access […]
A Financial Times journalist published a lengthy thread on Twitter to promote his excellent reporting on significant global phenomena that seems to deserve all our attention. Young men are becoming more conservative than young women who are themselves becoming swiftly more liberal. In countries on every continent, an ideological gap has opened up between young […]
I don’t use TikTok at all. I have an Instagram account I’ve failed to reboot which I only open if a Groupchat sends me a link. I deliberately insulate from algorithmic visual content. It makes you miserable for one. But more importantly, it deadens your aesthetic palette from overexposure. If you want to develop and […]
I like a little “woo” in my life. Anytime I hit a particularly interesting number in my daily writing I tend to do a bit of collective consciousness spelunking across the shared spaces of the internet. Unsurprisingly, 1111 sparks quite a bit of interest across pop culture numerology depictions. The first search results were women’s […]
I enjoyed a very American style Christmas Eve today. My husband and I have been so busy with professional obligations that we had not done anything to prepare for this Christmas week. We piled into the car today, braved some unplowed snowy roads (more slippery than deep) and got ourselves to Costco. I am a […]
