You Might Not Have a Skills Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Finland, winter. Mandatory military service. Snow on everything, the light already gone by mid afternoon. I am calling mortar fire in a battlefield exercise, with a few pressured minutes to calculate and decide. Teams waiting tensely for my orders as the seconds tick.My undersergeant tells me I have the wrong type of fire. I hear him. I keep going.He tells me again. I override him again. Then I call it, it lands as ordered, and I hand the opposing force a surprising advantage they did nothing to
Why The Odyssey is the right myth for right now (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I saw Nolan’s Odyssey last night, a Monday. The theater was packed on a weeknight, at a time when ticket sales have declined. It opened bigger than Oppenheimer. Something in it caught the culture, and it was not the special effects.I first read the poem when I was 14. Back then it was pure adventure.

Read excerpt
Everyone in my feed is quoting Gary Vaynerchuk right now. Social media is dead, he says. We live in interest media.

There is a crane outside my window. There are more behind it.Miami is building faster than I have seen it build, and it is building on ground that does not hold. The rock under this city is porous limestone. The water does not wait at the shoreline. It comes up through the ground. Clear sky, high tide, and the street floods from below.We know this. We are pouring anyway. Taller, denser, closer to the water.Inland, on the ridge, the old neighborhoods are being bought. Higher ground here means a f
The Sixth Wound (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That is the only honest way I can describe the last few weeks. A relentless spin cycle, my mind churning the same load. Every room I have gone quiet in, every moment I handled badly, all of it tumbling on repeat. Rumination has a physics of its own. It does not resolve. It agitates.Somewhere in the spinning, though, something surprising surfaced. The old patterns were on display, yes. But so was the distance I have put between myself and them. I kept catching the exact moment where the old me wo
