Beyond the Academy
Writings
Not everything worth saying fits in a journal article. These writings explore the questions that animate the research program through different registers — essays, translations, stories, and reflections on what it means to think, create, and act at the frontier where human judgment meets machine intelligence.
AI Futures
Where is artificial intelligence taking us — and what do we become along the way? Essays and reflections on the trajectories of machine intelligence, the transformation of knowledge work, and the emerging landscape where human and algorithmic reasoning converge.
Entrepreneurship
The entrepreneur's world is being remade by machines that learn, create, decide, and act. These essays reimagine entrepreneurial reasoning, resource mobilization, and navigating uncertainty at the frontier — where founders must think alongside AI, not just about it, and where the old playbooks dissolve faster than new ones can be written.
Speculative Fiction
Stories that explore the human-AI frontier through narrative rather than argument. Fiction as a mode of inquiry — imagining the worlds that our theories describe but cannot fully capture, and the lives lived within them.
Wisdom Traditions
Laozi, Qoheleth, Heraclitus — the deepest voices of the ancient world, rendered for an era they could not have imagined but somehow anticipated. Each age must receive wisdom through its own vocabulary. These translations bring the Daodejing, Ecclesiastes, and the Fragments into conversation with networks, algorithms, and the cyborg condition.
Tectonic Briefings
Structural forces. Inference engine. Wise action. A collaborative analysis platform that tracks the hidden patterns beneath geopolitical, technological, and economic events — compressing complex developments into named structural patterns that make systemic dynamics visible. Each briefing reveals how shocks propagate through interconnected systems and identifies the forces driving perpetual flux.
Wisdom Traditions for the Cyborg Era
The Quartet
Four volumes. Four traditions. Four stances for acting wisely when the future cannot be known. Each renders one of the world's deepest contemplative traditions in the vocabulary of computational systems, network dynamics, and emergent order.
Depth Beyond Depth
Daodejing · Complete
The unnamed origin, the ground that precedes all categories. The sage yields.
The Fire That Measures Itself
Heraclitus · Complete
The emergent order arising from the interdependence of opposites. The philosopher attends.
All Your Flickering Days
Qoheleth · Complete
The comprehensive investigation whose findings do not converge. The preacher holds.
The Self & the Substrate
Upanishads · Forthcoming
Where the instrument of inquiry is itself the thing in question. The seeker turns.
Yielding. Attending. Holding. Turning. One question: how do you act wisely when the future cannot be known?
The Integrative Work
Cyborg Entrepreneurship
All research streams and writing projects converge in a forthcoming book that reframes entrepreneurship for an era of governed autonomy — where human judgment and machine intelligence constitute a new kind of entrepreneurial agent.
