Another carsonogenic essay. ChatGPT Psychosis is a growing epidemic, and now it has been reported on by several major publications. If you or someone you know exhibits the symptoms I discuss in the piece...maybe pass it along. I'd also love to hear more reports, DM me!

I'm working too much this year to meditate or write as much. (and meaningful work is itself spiritually supportive) But Buddhism remains an incredibly resourcing force in my life. I hammered out this list of common American misconceptions about Buddhism on Carsonogenic!

Amidst all the upcoming AI/capitalist dystopias I had an optimistic thought: if individual self-driving car companies own and operate significant portion of commuter traffic (could waymo own 20% in 15 years?), it might become economically imperative for them to build trains!

Happy Gregorian New Year everyone!
To usher in 2025 with the usual tradition of reflection and getting our lives in order, I wrote a carsonogenic post that is a lot sillier, schtickier, and shorter than the last one.

This is your yearly reminder that Santa is real and is an egregore: a being formed of many minds.

When you give gifts on Christmas, you may think it was your "choice", but actually you are just a puppet playing your part in the Clausal mechanism. Possessed by the Christmas spirit.

This photo. I want it plastered on the cover of Time Magazine and in every legislator's mailbox. This will not be like previous technical advancements. Very soon, unless we do something, the only skill worth anything will be holding capital...at which point capital crumbles too.

Do you feel poorer than your friends? Lots of my friends do.

An interesting statistical necessity of having an exponential wealth distribution, is that virtually everyone can in fact be, on average, poorer than their peer group.

How does this work?

I'm not big on single-use kitchen things (see very multi-use instant pot in background), but the fancy milk frother has proved its worth. Amazing chai latte every morning!

First bsky! Which came first, the chicken or the egg?

- The egg, obviously. If an animal wasn't born from an egg, it wasn't a chicken.
