This is totally different from the rest of my substack. I am writing about how to create a cooking habit. Right now this is a SEPARATE substack... but I am going to combine it into my main substack.

This past month was a heart post. This time I want to shift and write something more cerebral/knowledge driven - maybe China's manufacturing scene. Don't have a defined topic yet but will see what comes out.

My mother is 78 and lives alone. Some mornings she calls me just to hear a voice. I answer when I can. When I can't, she sits with the silence. Somewhere in a lab right now, there is a robot that could sit with her instead not as a replacement for love, but as a presence. It can read to her and remember her stories, notice when she seems off. We built this thing and it exists in China. Yet, this morning, I used the same technology(AI) to rewrite a cold email. I told myself I was being practical

I'd like to continue postiong weekly 800-1,500 word essays. I can generally write these in 2 sessions, but I imagine one of them will be more extensive, I just don't know which one yet.
