A conglomerate identified hydrocarbons and deployed machines to extract them.

The conglomerate was the first human to make cheese. The machines were enzymes. The hydrocarbons were milk.

Enzymes aren't a metaphor for machines. They are machines. We just named them differently.

In 2013, Europe launched a €1B project to simulate a human brain. In
2009, the project's lead scientist had promised a conscious digital
brain within 10 years, maybe even a hologram at TED.

My son's dog, Dishsoap, is afraid of boxes — not strangers, not traffic. Boxes.

He has never seen a box harm anything. And yet he assigns it agency and intent.

Missing a real threat costs your life. A false alarm costs embarrassment.

Evolution favors survival over accuracy.

I wrote a book about complexity, emergence, and why living systems do so much with so little.

Grew out of the Playing Odd podcast — 12 episodes, plus two bonus chapters never released in audio.

Sharing ideas from the book over the coming weeks.
