Am I Wrong?
I respond to Douglas Rushkoff and question whether business, left politics, idealism, and my own worldview need to be reconsidered.
On Trust
I think through trust, secrets, emotional risk, and why sharing hidden thoughts with another person can feel like release.
Unfinished Thoughts
I collect unfinished thoughts about progress, idealism, corruption, human potential, and why I still want a better world.
Kindness
I argue against abandoning people who are hurting, asking why kindness and support are so often replaced with harsh self-reliance.
Changesurfer.com
I reflect on Changesurfer, transhumanism, FM-2030, and ideas about technology, relationships, and possible futures for humanity.
A Late Night Musing: Abstractions
I explore abstraction as a way of seeing, where art, beauty, language, and perception can either clarify or distort the world.
Thought for the Day: Garbage
I wrestle with how we judge art and music, and whether calling something garbage says more about the work or about our own limits.
Thought for the Day: The Death of Art
I argue that art has lost some of its wonder as criticism, judgment, and overanalysis crowd out direct appreciation.
From April, 2004
I reflect on how quickly the world changes, how global awareness reshapes responsibility, and why modern life can feel more selfish.
