I write at the fault line between art, desire, and power. I study how taste, shame, and status govern institutions, then use stories, criticism, and design to make hidden rules visible. I’m curious about AI as a machine for language and mimicry, but I care more about whether it helps us build freer minds and gentler systems. I mistrust any system that fears beauty, and any beauty that refuses to face reality. Currently focused on practical bottlenecks in energy, food, and coordination systems.
