Writer, coder, and game designer. Co-founder @coolestcatslab.com with my wife, in pursuit of paradise on earth through artistic simulation.
Recently, I started a YouTube series called Nietzsche for Kids, which uses Google's NotebookLM to illustrate and present ideas from the philosopher's work in a fun way. Thanks to many years of reading him, I'm able to make these videos quickly and review each one for accuracy. Link in the next post.

Two seemingly unrelated works of art, but both of them serve as deep sources of inspiration for the game and setting that my wife and I are working on, among many others. I look forward to having more to share with you in the future. #Nietzsche #Elfquest

The latest technological innovation isn't generative AI, but accelerated computing, which made generative AI possible. A hardware evolution, in other words. Evolutionary developments in hardware, whether organic or mechanic, are a prerequisite for new software developments. #AIdev #philosophy

What is the will? It isn’t a specific thing, but a word referencing a unity of many things. My wife and I aren’t just making a game; we’re making an engine for simulating the will. Architecturally it's complex, but we're confident in our work. #gamedev #engineering #AIart

I overcame myself as a sufferer; I carried my own ashes to the mountain; a brighter flame I made for myself.

From the ashes of the old star emerges not a new gospel, but the terrible freedom of the earth. Become your own light. #EdenoftheSun #IndieGame #AI #RPG #Adventure
