In manufacturing, operators gravitate toward the bottleneck to solve it. Solutions are the reserve currency.

In politics, operatives gravitate toward the bottleneck to talk about it. Problems are the reserve currency.

Incentives are destiny

I have news to share:

I am writing a book, currently untitled, set to be published by Penguin Press next year.

I began my public writing career with the thesis that AI and related technologies will both necessitate and enable major changes to the institutional configuration of Western society. I believe it is possible for individual liberty, dignity, and property to survive the coming transformation, but that their survival will take serious collective effort.

This book is a contribution to that effort. It is an attempt to describe a positive vision for the future of the American republic in particular, and all ordered liberty worldwide. But it will simultaneously be a diagnosis of a crisis: open societies have drifted from the principles they once embodied, and those principles must be re-imagined for modern ears if we are to embody them in the future. This will therefore be a work of political theory just as much it is an "AI book."

There is not much more I can say about the project (yet), other than that it is, by far, the most ambitious work I have ever undertaken.

My research and writing will not replace regular writing on Hyperdimensional, but the cadence of publications is likely to remain lower than it once was. I anticipate writing essays every 2-3 weeks for the foreseeable future. I expect my output to shift a bit more toward mini-essays posted on X, which is a format I have been using more anyway.

I am immensely grateful for my readers' support over these last two years. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to read my work, and to the countless people who have lent me a hand along the way.

More to come soon.
