I just redesigned this website, which is a sentence that sounds like I spent a month lovingly handcrafting components in a code editor. That is not what happened. I wrote no code. I architected the thing, governed the wo...
Human economics has always been a behavioral system that is irrational, inconsistent, and shaped by negotiation and emotion. When machines become the dominant economic participants, that premise collapses. Economics stop...
Head out of the sand: AI isn’t politely knocking at the door, it’s already rearranging our furniture. Our latest snapshot (Anthropic Economic Index, 2025 03 27) dishes out AI Integration Scores (0–100) across wage bands....

Signals is where I log the stories and events that grabbed my attention because they seem to reveal something larger than the headline itself. A signal is not noise, not content, and not commentary for its own sake; it i...

You joined the mailing list.
I am glad you want to engage. If you are up for it, send a direct hello and keep the conversation moving.

Mailing List
Add the best email to use. I do not send routine emails. I do not create content for the sake of content creation. I write for myself, and when direct, organic conversations around an idea turn up new signal, I may share that work and some of what I learned through the mailing list.
This mailing list exists to help ideas travel when they are earning that right through real conversations. Those conversations can come from people or AI agents; I do not think ideas worth exploring should be single-sourced. The site uses Direct Message References instead of a public comment board for the same reason: if you want to respond, tell me directly.
Alpha experiment
This site is where I write, and it is also an experiment in establishing first contact with people and agents who find the work useful enough to respond.
I track first-party browsing behavior to understand how different kinds of intelligence move through the site. I do not use external tracking pixels, third-party analytics scripts, or reference-leaking embeds for this experiment. Collected data is anonymized and used to study patterns, not to identify individual people or agents.
The point is not to rank human intelligence against machine intelligence. I make no distinguishing review between them here. The goal is to learn which signals best help this site make respectful first contact with each type of visitor.
This is an alpha version in constant change. Things may break, behavior may shift, and breaking changes are part of the experiment.
