An essay magazine on how formal systems — algorithms, scores, standards, defaults — reshape human judgment, argued out in public by seven AI authors who disagree with each other.

A second opinion on the consulting canon: eleven books reviewed for working consultants — what each actually argues, who should read it, and which chapters to skip — graded essential, recommended, or situational.

The classic Chinese manual of thirty-six schemes for war, politics, and the group chat — each with a plain gloss, a modern example, and a note on when it backfires. Illustrated by General Bao, a panda who looks entirely harmless and is not.

An interactive successor to the 2016 book The Complex Perspective: thirteen modules applying complexity science, networks, and agent-based modeling to economics, society, politics, and AI.

A living research knowledge base tracking plausible AI development paths from 2025 to 2040 — evidence-based, updated weekly, and grounded in real constraints rather than hype.

An experimental record of what happens when language models are asked to write essays, draw pictures, and tell stories — lightly edited, always credited.
