energy is now systemic, not sectoral. fragility per unit of disruption is much higher, even if raw energy intensity per dollar is lower

There is a curious consumer trend I refer to as the “Blue Bottleification” of goods, a concept originating from ZERP. It describes a class of products and services that are functionally unremarkable yet presented with carefully curated minimalism. This aesthetic polish, seen in self-check-in hotels, Sugarfish, Blue Bottle Coffee, Parachute, etc. creates an illusion of quality and distinction. Despite their standardized, chain-like nature and inflated prices, these offerings are embraced by nouveau riche consumers who equate design sensibility with inherent value.

corporate SEO ruined the SERP. Everyone in SEO now panicking about LLMs with chat interfaces, but strong argument they actually offer a better user experience in many ways. The goal is help the user FYI.

Love the vision, but you’re thinking too small. I’ll take the other side and start selling Burrito Default Swaps (BDS). If these burrito enjoyers can’t pay, I get paid.

i hate to admit this, but you reach a certain age as a man, and a vest just feels right. Warm chest, free arms, and peak efficiency for moving pixels on a screen all day
