The Intelligence Horizon
Intelligence has always been larger than the stories we tell about it. Every era believes it finally understands how minds work, and every era is eventually proven early. This publication is my attempt to explore that unfolding frontier.

The Accumulating Universe (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We ordinarily speak about the future as though it were a place waiting for us.Tomorrow exists somewhere ahead. Next year lies farther down the road. A galaxy a billion light-years away occupies its location whether or not anything is “happening” there. The universe, in this familiar picture, is an enormous four-dimensional structure containing its complete history.

But what if the most consequential forces are invisible? What if dominance isn’t about numbers or muscle, but about the capacity to decide? How do we know what really matters? How do we know what success looks like?We often mistake population
