Echoes Behind Glass
Echoes Behind Glass I’m standing in Exhibit Wing Delta-9, staring at a glass box filled with plastic utensils. A spork. A red Solo cup. A half-melted toothbrush. Each one labeled with barcode precision and a neat timestamp: Estimated Circa 2000–2025 CE.

“The Day Scientists Heard the Earth Hum — And What It Might Mean for Humanity
For centuries, the Earth has been whispering secrets we weren’t ready to hear. Until recently. In 1998, a group of seismologists stumbled upon a phenomenon so strange, so unexpected, it was dismissed as an error in the data. But it wasn’t. The Earth, it turns out, is humming—a deep, low-frequency vibration, persistent and global. And it’s not caused by earthquakes, volcanoes, or human activity.

The Case for an AI Government: Why I’d Rather Be Ruled by Code
I know how it sounds — like the opening to a dystopian novel, or the setup for a Black Mirror episode. But when I say I’d rather be ruled by code than by people, I mean it. Not because I trust machines blindly, but because I’ve seen what happens when fallible humans are given unchecked power. Emotion, ego, corruption, short-term thinking — it’s baked into every layer of governance.
