I don't know if it has a goal beyond my reflection on my practice of making music... I guess it is to inspire people to think about the value of art in the world

Anything confusing in here? Areas to refine? I am curious if it is obvious to anyone how I could integrate different perspectives instead of only 1st person

I am trying to figure out if there is a role for design and design education in the age of ai and if so what it looks like

I don't think this would diagram very well! I wonder if it hangs together or if there are some ideas I should save for another essay? Design essays are always hard for me to publish because so much of my identity is wrapped up in trying to be a designer and when I try to write about it I feel like I still don't really know what it is. I feel vulnerable!

I'd like to explore the gray area of love between romantic and friendly.

What can I add to the piece from a cultural perspective to achieve my goal?

I'm trying to discern what political rule by women means for our lives.

Any feedback is welcome

A quick note I wrote to myself. There's probably a lot more I could say, for example: how sleep deprivation was a status signal in architecture school, Buckminster Fuller's and Davinci's polyphasic sleep experiments, the role of dreams, and a future where pills might reduce the need to sleep.

Is this worth contuing down? Feels like it's a fun topic with lots of potential angles to explore. Still not sure if this should be a quick Note or a larger essay. What would be helpful: what questions pop up for you? What is your relation to sleep/sleep deprivation?

This is my first essay of the year, and the one I'll post before sharing the essay prize results. I want to set a frame to let readers know I'm thinking about the project. I think a micro-institute is a helpful term/model that could inspire others.

I'm happy with the opening frame (Elon's xAI essay prize, as contrast), but the ending falls flat for me. Should I say more about micro institutes once I introduce them? Any other thoughts on how to end? (was thinking to explain my mission, why the essay, but it's feeling off). Any questions you think as you read would be helpful!

I am trying to write more personal stories

flow and imagery, ideas to expand

Show how our common perceptions of evolution being about how well adapted something is are backwards, and show how this dominance of chance relative to skill should not make us nihilistic

This is the first draft of two different pieces. I'm trying to write my first long form piece of the year. Both of these have overlap so I don't know whether to combine them, publish them separate, or pick one. So would love advice on that. I've been getting stuck writing first drafts and then throwing them out when I get stuck. I would love ideas for expansion, ways to drive it deeper, make it more interesting, questions you have while reading it, other ways of talking about or structuring the pieces.

Articulate why being taken seriously matters more than praise — and why it’s unsettling that an AI now provides that experience more reliably than many human collaborators ever did.

its a super quick draft... I dictated it and cleaned it up... curious if anything is interesting about it, ideas on what to cut and what to expand
