The Day My Phone Started Knowing Me Better Than I Did
It started with a notification I almost ignored. “Good morning, Alex. Based on your sleep patterns, we’ve adjusted your morning schedule. Coffee is ready at 7:15. You might want to leave home at 8:03 instead of 8:10.” I froze. My phone had never spoken to me like this before. Sure, it suggested playlists, predicted traffic, and reminded me of appointments. But it had never calculated me this precisely. Curiosity overcame caution. I followed its instructions. The coffee was perfect. Traffic was lighter than usual. I arrived at work feeling oddly efficient.

Digital Shadows: How Our Online Lives Shape Who We Are
We live in a world where almost every thought, habit, and interaction leaves a digital trace. Every post we make, every story we share, every “like” or reaction contributes to a vast, invisible record of our lives. These traces—our digital shadows—are shaping more than just algorithms; they are shaping us.

We Are Training Technology More Than It Is Training Us
Most conversations about technology focus on what machines are learning. We talk about artificial intelligence becoming smarter, algorithms improving, and systems adapting faster than ever. The common fear is that technology is watching us, analyzing us, and eventually outgrowing us. But there’s a quieter truth hiding in plain sight.

The World Through Different Eyes
We often believe that reality is fixed, that the world exists exactly as we perceive it. But the truth is, reality is much more flexible than we realize. It’s shaped by our thoughts, our experiences, and the lens through which we choose to view life.

The Foundation for Order in a Collapsing Culture
This is a systems-level framework, not a polemic or a list of opinions. It lays out a sequence of foundational truths about how societies maintain order, how that order erodes, and why collapse follows when truth, accountability, and consequence are selectively suspended. Each point builds on the last, tracing a logical path from epistemology and moral agency to politics, institutions, and cultural outcomes.

The Night That Invented Christmas
Often celebrated as the first Christmas poem ever written, “A Visit from St. Nicholas,” later known as “‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” holds a singular place in cultural history. Written in 1822 and published anonymously on December 23, 1823, in the Troy Sentinel newspaper of New York, the poem introduced a complete and enchanting Christmas narrative unlike any that had come before. Earlier hymns and seasonal verses certainly existed, yet none offered a fully realized story centered on a magical Christmas Eve visit. This poem changed how the holiday would be imagined, celebrated, and shared for generations.
