Why I Stopped Trying to Save My Research Materials
- 04 June 2026
Someone will reasonably ask: if these materials matter so much, why am I not fighting harder to keep them? Here is the honest answer — not a secular one, so take it or leave it. It runs through the grain of wheat that has to fall and die, through Gideon’s strange fleece, and through the army cut from thirty-two thousand to three hundred. It is about letting go, about why the weakness is the point and not the bug, and about the one test that keeps surrender from becoming a disguise for avoidance.
Doctor, Save Yourself
- 03 June 2026
On 10 December 2024 I stood at the auction of my own American dream home, in a suit, holding a book about how accidental nuclear winter threatens everyone. I was trying to help the world avoid its eviction from Earth while I was being evicted from my house. The mockery writes itself: Doctor, save yourself. This is the story of that day — and why I have come to think the irony is not an accident but a teaching, about the Jubilee System, about eviction, about compound interest as a slow-motion explosion, and about the oldest mistake of all. You judge.
