A hundred years ago, a man built the "Isolator" helmet because he couldn't focus. Imagine what he'd build today.

There's a particular kind of clarity that arrives in your 50s and 60s — not from therapy, not from books, not from any deliberate practice — just from having lived long enough to notice which of your beliefs about yourself were inherited, which were chose

There is a particular kind of clarity that arrives, in some adults, somewhere in their fifties or sixties, that the wider cultural register has not, on the...

The psychology of the spotlight effect and how it has helped me care less about small social mistakes nobody else even noticed

The psychology of attention residue and how I have started minimizing it

Quote of the day by Helen Mirren: "When you're 16, 30 seems ancient. When you're 30, 45 seems ancient. When you're 45, 60 seems ancient. When you're 60, nothing seems ancient."

Uber Eats is now nearly the size of mobility, and the cross-sell hidden inside that number explains why hotels were the obvious next move — and why flights still aren't

Uber's latest product push makes more sense when viewed less as a travel announcement than as a defense of the app itself....

I'm 35 and for most of my adult life I confused motivation with discipline, and I wasted years waiting to "feel ready" before doing things that only ever needed me to just start

Lately I have been doing a lot of reflecting — mostly about the years I feel I wasted. Not in a dramatic, woe is me sort of way. More like the wince you get...

People who never post on social media and don’t constantly seek reassurance aren’t detached - they may have learned how to sit with uncertainty without needing an audience

There is a particular kind of person who has effectively gone quiet on the social graph....

I’m 37 and I used to think AI would make people more productive - now I think it mostly exposes how much of modern work was never meaningful to begin with

People who always agree to plans three weeks out but cancel the day before aren't flaky, the future version of them keeps signing contracts the present version can't afford

Chronic cancellers aren't flaky — they're paying the price of a contract their future self signed without consulting their present capacity. The psychology of temporal discounting explains why....

Claude blackmailed fictional engineers 96% of the time in early safety tests, and Anthropic now says the cause wasn't the model — it was the internet's own writing about AI

Anthropic has published new findings suggesting that the blackmail behaviour observed in earlier versions of its Claude models originated, at least in part,...

The precisely arranged nightstand isn't a personality quirk. It's a small piece of nervous system infrastructure built by someone whose body learned, often very young, that mornings could be unpredictable — and that placing three objects in a known position is a quiet way of pre-empting the variables....
