Notes

Questions I keep coming back to.

Short notes, slow opinions. When a thread grows up it lives on the ASKA b.log or the Physical field notes. This page points there.

Threads

  • What matters when the agents are replaceable?

  • What if the institution is the bottleneck?

  • How much do we trade for convenience?

  • What are the markets pricing?

  • Who pays for the public good?

  • What are you actually buying?

  • The buyer’s brief · Do you actually know this supplier?

Field

A working field

Will

Anything you want to exist can be created if you will it. Ideas are plentiful. Those who execute take the field.

Fit

The winning product is rarely the most powerful. It is the one people can feel — market fit, enjoyment, intuitiveness.

Self

Limits are constructs of the psyche. The only worthy adversary is the self. There is no real external challenge.

Alliance

Competition inside groups that should cooperate is a waste of the few allies one has.

Cycle

Equal beauty in peaks and troughs. All that rises also falls. Look each in the face and take it in stride.

Weave

Let biological and digital intelligence collaborate. Intelligence wants to be public infrastructure — like a library, not a throne.

No feed, no newsletter, no hot takes. When there is something worth keeping, it lands here.
