2025/07/31

Send us a text Read article on Substack What makes the renewable transition even more compelling is that we're finally accounting for the true costs of our fossil fuel dependence. The health impacts alone are staggering. In 2024, renewables helped the U.S. avoid an estimated $21.5 billion in health damages from air pollution, on top of $24 billion in direct fossil fuel cost savings. Meanwhile, fossil fuels still receive subsidies at a nine-to-one advantage over renewables in many markets, art...

Send us a text see related Substack episode We're living through the death of certainty, and it's making us absolutely feral for answers about what comes next. I spent an hour this week diving into David Eagleman's Sum: Forty Tales from the Afterlives, and honestly? It left me more unsettled than any horror movie could. Not because these afterlife scenarios are terrifying—though some are—but because they hold up a mirror to how desperately we cling to the illusion that someone, somewhere, has...

Send us a text Read the article on Substack These aren't primitive people. They're specialists in being human. And here's what really messes with our modern assumptions: they achieved something we're constantly told is impossible. They created societies without bosses, without cops, without prisons, without wealth inequality—and they worked for millennia. How? Through what anthropologist Christopher Boehm calls "reverse dominance." They were, in his words, "fiercely egalitarian." When someone...

But here's where it gets really interesting: their brains showed remarkable global coherence, with different regions synchronizing in ways that suggest something far more integrated than ordinary consciousness.

And we're all the starring act in this particular show, whether we signed up for it or not. The question isn't whether AI will learn to predict human behavior. It already has.

Send us a text see the corresponding Substack episode The information age promised that more knowledge would make us smarter. Instead, it's made us anxious, overwhelmed, and paradoxically less informed about what matters.

When you force creative, productive night owls to perform during their biological off-hours, you're not getting their best work. You're not accessing their full cognitive potential.

Meanwhile, she was expected to be his emotional GPS, life coach, and sexual servant—all while maintaining her own career, friendships, and mental health. This isn't an isolated story.

Send us a text see the accompanying substack episode We've been reading our genetic code wrong this whole time. For decades, scientists focused on the 2% of our DNA that codes for proteins—the obvious stuff, the genes that make the building blocks of life. We treated the other 98% like genetic junk mail, regulatory noise that didn't really matter. We called it "junk DNA" with the casual dismissiveness of people who think they understand something because they can label it. Turns out, that 98%...

Border Collies, those supposed canine Einsteins, excelled at impulse control—which makes sense if you think about it.

Today, we call this resistance to new knowledge the “Semmelweis reflex.” A refusal to accept evidence because it feels wrong. Inconvenient. Uncomfortable. In 2020, a new virus entered the room. For a brief moment, we acknowledged its danger. We locked down. We listened. Then we did something strange. We started pretending. We pretended COVID was like the flu.

What happens when the injury isn't to your sense of safety, but to your sense of self? That's moral injury.

No rules, no protection, no oversight. Just a free-for-all where the biggest players strip-mine the ecosystem while taxpayers foot the bill.
