Start Anywhere

You can start almost anywhere. Here are a few of the old questions I seem unable to put down, with a couple of places to begin.

One question keeps coming back

I’ve long suspected that the history of media is also the history of our effort to reach one another’s minds. The alphabet is one unlikely starting point; AI is another.

Words, wires, and other ways to reach each other

One way in is What I Mean by Telepathy, then moves through The Origin of the Alphabet and the Future of All Media.

What the Torah keeps making me ask

Start with Torah as Blast, Torah as Song, and Torah as Hologram.

The other rabbit holes

Or take a detour through Noah’s Ark and the Tower of Babel and Your AI Is Bullshitting You.

If you know me—or wish you did—send me a note. Interesting conversation is the point of keeping these pages around.
