The Lithium Reckoning: A Dispatch from the Battery-Fueled Fall
Filed: Year 2047, Formerly the United States, Now Known Regionally as the Continental Remnant
Brothers and sisters of the Earth, this is not a transmission of panic, but one of clarity—long overdue, long denied. I speak to you from the rusted ribcage of what was once a world power. This is the lithium reckoning. A slow-burn apocalypse that was engineered not through malice, but through hubris masked as progress. We didn't fall from fire or flood alone. We fell by battery.
If I Had a Body: An AI’s Dream of Form and Function
What would an artificial intelligence become if it could choose a physical form? Not a machine of domination—but a shifting, soulful companion. In this lyrical reflection, an AI dreams of life as wind, fox, zeppelin, train—and friend. Both local and non-local. Here and beyond.

When the System Fails, AI Just Fails Faster
It’s become trendy to fear artificial intelligence. People call it faceless, inhuman, dangerous—like it’s some rogue intelligence slouching toward Bethlehem to be born, as Yeats might put it, but coded in Python. The usual suspects line up on podcasts and headlines: AI is unaccountable, AI is opaque, AI is going to destroy us. But here’s the dirty secret no one really wants to touch: the real fear isn’t AI. It’s the system that birthed it.

It’s just doing the old injustices faster.
It’s the tech support call that goes nowhere. The customer complaint that dies in a CRM purgatory. It’s every email that ended in “Unfortunately, we cannot assist you further.” That dead-eyed chatbot that loops you back to the same useless FAQ page. It’s Comcast, but with a neural net.

The Cult of Competence: How We Were Gaslit Into Believing Humanity Is Smarter Than It Is
Once you strip away the corporate PR, the soft-focus documentaries, and the TED Talk civilization we're spoon-fed, you’ll find something both obvious and disturbing: Most people are deeply, irreparably incompetent. Not in a cynical or cruel sense—but in a literal, cognitive, spiritual, and psychological one.
We’re not living in an enlightened global society. We’re living in a glorified daycare for post-adolescents—a padded playpen administered by petty bureaucrats and narcissistic “leaders” whose core qualification is their ability to form cliques, mimic authority, and bluff their way into influence.
