Essays
Longer arguments from lived work.
The pieces that needed more room than a note and more evidence than an opinion.
The Book is the current long-form work, released chapter by chapter.
Why it exists
Some arguments only hold at length, with the counter-argument included.
This page is where those live rather than being cut down for a feed.
Core idea
An essay should contain the strongest version of the objection to itself.
If I finish writing one and still believe every line I started with, I did not think hard enough.
Evidence
Published long-form:
How I think about it
Length is not depth. Most of my long pieces got better by losing a third.
The examples have to be mine, or credited to whoever lived them.
How it works
Chapters release on a schedule and stay free to read.
Borrowed ideas are attributed where they came from.
Projects and examples
Shorter forms:
Questions and tensions

Experiment: Scheduled chapter releases instead of a single launch.
Ambition: One essay a year that is still worth reading in five.
Last reviewed: September 2026.
