The Stew
The Stew is the series that was called The Soup. In the rebrand it took a new name, and every episode that went out as The Soup lives here under the name it was published with.
- The Difference is the OpportunityA cold seafood counter sent me into thermodynamics. What I found was a world full of differences that can still do work before they disappear, and a better question about what balance actually means.
- The Machinery of BecomingSome systems are written. Some are trained. Some have to be grown. This week I followed the line from code to AI to biology and found out the categories do not stay put.
- Between the WordsReality says more than it says out loud. This week I tried to draw what I notice underneath it, then followed the patterns until they became choices I could make.
- How I Deal With Bullshit, Apparently.I asked for a stupid picture of how I deal with bullshit. It came back with branches, and every box in it was real.
- The Geometry of ExperienceI tried to map consciousness like an engineer. The chart had other plans.
