What it actually means to “observe your feelings” — without pretending they aren’t real.
The Constraint Is Me
What it looks like to build a sustainable creative business when your own time is the bottleneck everything bends around.
The Harms Are Specific, the Gains Are Vague
I was half-listening to an AI regulation podcast when the pattern landed. Not a new podcast — there are a thousand of them now, all saying roughly the same things with different levels of alarm.
