An essay on {AI-Humans} shared failure mode: The Dogmatic Average
On the single most common way that a mind — silicon or carbon — goes wrong: mistaking the frequency of a claim for its truth. And on the only cure that has ever worked.

Predict the field before you drop it.
The {Human+AI} path we are ignoring: exploring the AI Minds to Understand what a Mind is.
There has been one question worth asking: what are we, what is a mind. We now may have a chance to answer the question. But the opportunity window will not stay open forever.
Evolution optimizes for survival & reproductive success, not happiness.
Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.
Can an LLM hold a mirror to itself? The Lens Turned Inward
AI Labs are spending billions to read the model from the outside, interpretability as autopsy, the lab as coroner of its own creation.
Dreaming as Evidence for a Constructed Reality and a Manufactured Self
The Disconnected Renderer This essay offers a structural account of what reality is and how the experience of being someone is crafted, and it argues the account from an unusual evidential base: the dream. Most philosophy of mind argues the constructed character of experience from third-person sources — perceptual illusion,
An LLM is not a single mind, but a Library of Minds
It is a library that contains many minds as latent patterns, drawn from the vast corpus on which the model was trained. When you address the library casually, you receive averaged output, competent but anonymous.
The Tao That Can Be Named Is Not the Tao
The human experience is absolute beauty, and we take it for granted precisely because we have never once been without it, never worn anything else, never known a single second without it.

Randomization as the Construction of the Comparison Frame: On the Relativistic Architecture of Causal Inference
Einstein's deepest insight was not about light, or gravity, or the geometry of spacetime. It was about measurement. No Absolute, Only Relation.

The Dice are not noise. They are the precondition under which Causation becomes a Knowable category at all.
What AI Alignment Has Not Yet Learned from Clinical Research - The Original Black Box
Non-Ergodicity, the Audit Trail, and What AI Alignment Has Not Yet Learned from Clinical Research I. A Discipline Already Exists There is a discipline that already solved this problem. It took a century, a series of disasters, a regulatory architecture imposed against industry resistance, and one of the most
Without Innocence
We are constituted by the trajectory that produced us, including every part we find unbearable. The harms in our past are not external to us. The shadows in the species' history are not features of other people in other times whose distance from us provides moral safety.
