Complexence
Complexity is the condition of the world. Complexence is the quality you bring to it: the capability of standing inside a system larger than yourself, seeing it whole, and still choosing. A word for the thing all my work has been about.
Writing
Four streams of personal writing, combined into one feed. Journals are longer reflections on consciousness, decisions, and the texture of daily life. Essays are long-form explorations of ideas, technology, and the mind. Field Notes are handwritten free-writing sessions scanned and published raw. Thoughts are quick, half-formed observations that didn't want to wait.
Compressed or Destroyed
The same tool that can fold a beginner's learning curve shorter can also erase it. AI compresses apprenticeship when it transfers expertise and destroys it when it lets people skip the repetitions that were quietly teaching them.
Botsitting
The subscription is the small line. The real meter is the time you spend feeding context, checking output, catching the confident mistake, and cleaning up the work that looked finished. That hidden labor has a name now: botsitting.
Rhetoric Is the Physics of Other Minds
If AWS is math and Kubernetes is physics, then discourse is the physics of other minds, the same live, empirical, pushes-back system, except the matter is a person and the latency is a blank stare. Why the studio and the arena are two different rooms, why the second one floods you, and how to build the faculty that levels the field.
The Jagged Frontier
AI is strong in one place and confidently wrong half a step over, and from the inside the two feel identical. The real skill is not prompting. It is knowing when to delegate, when to steer, when to verify, and when to think alone.
The Real Bill for AI at Work
