In our interconnected world, we need to learn about unintended consequences. Those who do that can thrive. Those who don’t risk ruin.
I help my readers gain knowledge and perspective to evaluate decisions and change. I’ve written 100+ articles, including on these on the Current Thing, AI, Metrics, Asylum, Scaling, Penguins, Ignorance, Safety, Self-Driving, Ecosystems, UBI, Subversion, and more. I hope you enjoy them.
Note: These essays are human-written, by me. Out of interest, I’ve started to share the longhand notes that I write as I draft these essays.
