Where are you on the Adaptive Agency Curve? Take the Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Two people can say “I’m stuck” and mean almost opposite things.One has a demanding job, care responsibilities and almost no uncommitted time. They can imagine a different future, but cannot see an affordable way to reach it. Another has several promising projects, frontier AI subscriptions and a powerful tools and room to experiment, yet keeps opening new possibilities before any existing project has time to develop.Telling both people to become more focused misses something fundamental. The fir

Why do I get distracted so easily? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You sit down to do something that matters.Maybe it is a report that requires a clear line of argument. A difficult email you have been avoiding. A piece of code. An application.

A thought about tomorrow comes back. You remember another task that suddenly feels urgent. You check one thing. That remi
The General-Purpose Deep Learning G-Loop (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Alex Marin’s recent Mathematics of Thinking work offers a useful starting point for thinking about intelligence differently. Rather than treating thought as a sequence of isolated answers, it treats cognition as movement through a space of possible states: some states are easy to reach, some are stable attractors, some paths are blocked, and some deeper relationships remain invariant even when the surface form changes. This connects naturally with Trident-G, which treats adaptive intelligence as
How Intelligence Compounds: Asymmetrical Mutualism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine two people who both want to become better decision-makers. The first practises one cognitive game repeatedly. Their score improves, and they become faster and more accurate at that task. The second develops several different capacities over time: first learning to hold attention against distraction, then to maintain relations in working memory, then to anticipate how a situation may unfold, then to generate alternatives, and finally to reason through competing possibilities. And there’s
