Three years ago, I stepped away from writing to focus more deeply on my studies. The world hasn’t waited. In that time, we’ve seen the largest land war in Europe since World War II, the reemergence of great-power rivalry, and the breathtaking rise of artificial intelligence—all reshaping the boundaries of democracy, capitalism, and national power. I return now because the stakes have only grown, and the misalignments in our systems—economic, educational, technological—are too urgent to ignore.
This post is a manifesto for 2025.

Boudin’s first act as DA was to fire veteran prosecutors and replace them with his cronies. That’s who’s leaking now. Jenkins should fire these stooges and rehire experienced prosecutors. It’s the only way to fix the office. Personnel is policy.
