The Danger of Certainty in the AI Backlash (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I hadn’t planned on recording this podcast.But early Sunday morning here in Japan, I came across yet another Substack Note about AI from Ted Gioia, author of The Honest Broker, and I found myself getting increasingly irritated—not because I think concerns about AI are illegitimate. They aren’t. I’ve written and talked plenty about AI slop, scams, dishonesty, information overload, and some of the genuinely disturbing things that can happen when people develop unhealthy
How 9-11-2001 Changed My Life for the Better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Note: The following article was originally published on September 27, 2012 at my original blog, Teachers and Trees on WordPress. I’m republishing it here to recognize the 25th anniversary of 9/11/2001. If I were to rewrite this story today, I’d include a section about how 9/11/2001 was a part of my Saturn Return story.

The response spread through the astrology community, ultimately contributing to Forrest’s removal from the upcoming United Astrology Conference (UAC) and other institutional consequences.I’ve spent much of Aug
I Saw Saturn in Michael Jackson Before I Saw His Chart (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Had he lived, Michael Jackson would have been 68 years old today, August 29, 2026.When I went to see the Michael biopic at my nearest IMAX theater here in sultry central Japan on Tuesday morning, I didn’t know that. All I knew was that the film would run for only two more days.I’d deliberately chosen one of our hotter summer days—the forecast said it would be close to 100°F—so I could spend the worst of it inside a nicely air-conditioned movie theater. After a 40-minute bike ride through the eve
