This may have been my most influential #writing year.
I published 20 articles on the #epistemology of writing —examining how the #Socratic, #Narrative, and #Thermodynamic dimensions of thought shape craft & sharpen thinking.
I did most of that work on #Facebook. They removed me from the platform.

FERMI'S PARADOXICAL TRUTH
An interstellar fleet is an planetary investment. Manufacturing is an environmental burden.
No ecosystem could weather the sophisticated material and energy requirements unscathed.

THE $64,000 QUESTION
(Yes kids, this was once the best paid gameshow in America.)
Every person who knew Jeffrey Epstein is now wondering:
How much time spent with Jeffrey Epstein is too much?
How long did we talk on the phone? Emails? Conferences? Boat trips? Island vacations?
Fuck!

No judgement. But I suspect that if you knew that this fellow was responsible for a good degree of Project 2025 and excellent works like the “BigBeautifulHospitalClosing” Bill you might not be so surprised about his need for security.
