What it feels like to try and keep it again - how it opens a can of worms of arguments with God (?) Draft here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1b_DLxqmVje1B57_TWQ0a1Y6qnBX4W6uFuMktY8qW5GM/edit?tab=t.0

Something about culture, history, and observations. Analytic travel essay.

Why have a band? Is it fun? What type of fun?

I'm writing a book about how to build a startup in the age of AI. Working with an editor and agent. I'm excited by it, but it's sucking up all my writing time (which normally I would be devoting to blog posts :) )

On time preference and toadies

This has been on my mind, so figure I should try to formalize it into an essay. This *might* be part of a series of letter/essays addressed specifically to my daughter to be read when she's older. Two thoughts in here are, (1) the idea of an "unbroken chain"--instead of seeing each person as an individual, you see them as a link in a chain going forward and backwards, and (2) the difference between written and spoken family histories (and what you gain from inheriting writing from your ancestors).

Still exploring grief & loss, TBD what I'll tackle specifically. Been traveling this first part of the money and haven't started yet!

Finishing my Permanent Underclass essay and then will pivot to the therapy essay or finishing my mindfulness essay

Realising how often I 'check things' on the internet instead of trusting my own brain and experiences

I’m focusing on the Title and Structure patterns this month while (1) ramping up the number of essays I write and (2) spending less time editing. My ambitious goal is to draft three essays per week, with one day off (Saturday), while using AI to help me organize my drafts. Project Ref: A02.R03.P81
