Writing

On science, systems,
and what breaks.

Two threads: analytical science for biopharma professionals, and essays on threshold dynamics, consciousness, and the difficulty of being human. Filter by what you're looking for, or read across both.


Systems

The page is where the thinking happens

Otto carries a notebook for the memory that fails him. Somewhere in the carrying, the line between his mind and the page stops being obvious. What a daily note is for turns out to depend entirely on which question you are asking it to answer.

Mind

Creativity is a remix

Da Vinci drew water flowing around a stone many times, watching for something he did not yet understand. Originality, it turns out, is downstream of that kind of attention.

Mind

Can you be happy and intelligent?

Dostoevsky's Underground Man and Proust's Marcel sit on opposite sides of an old question: does the lit mind get to be a happy one.
