Philosophy Mondays: Human-AI Collaboration
Today's Philosophy Monday is an important interlude. I want to reveal that I have not been writing the posts in this series entirely by myself. Instead I have been working with Claude, not just for the graphic illustrations, but also for the text. My method has been to write a rough draft and then ask Claude for improvement suggestions. I will expand this collaboration to other intelligences going forward, including open source models such as Llama and DeepSeek. I will also explore other moda...

Web3/Crypto: Why Bother?
One thing that keeps surprising me is how quite a few people see absolutely nothing redeeming in web3 (née crypto). Maybe this is their genuine belief. Maybe it is a reaction to the extreme boosterism of some proponents who present web3 as bringing about a libertarian nirvana. From early on I have tried to provide a more rounded perspective, pointing to both the good and the bad that can come from it as in my talks at the Blockstack Summits. Today, however, I want to attempt to provide a coge...

The biggest challenge of homeschooling is letting go of push and waiting for pull. It is really hard to remain patient when kids are goofing off. The instinct is to push more things at them in the hope that they will pick one of these up and run with them. And it is easy to be afraid that without push they will never discover the thing that unlocks their intrinsic motivation. Yet the reverse may very well be true – anything pushed at them they will wind up not liking even if it would have been their thing had they discovered it on their own. There is little else one can do other to remind oneself to be patient and to create opportunities for moments of wonder and discovery.
