experience transforms not just what you know but how you know. It doesn't just add information… it creates new perceptual capabilities that algorithms and LLMs can’t (yet) replicate.

In a world increasingly dominated by algorithmic efficiency and machine intelligence, this metamorphosis in perception represents our profession’s most disruptive

One of the most intelligent case studies in design is the Chinese tea cup. They’re made without handles simply because if it’s too hot to touch, it’s too hot to drink.

Humans naturally want to add more. Add a cardboard sleeve, add a warning on the outside of the cup, add a handle. The result of all these things never cools down the actual contents.

instead of “building an audience,” build a world. build a digital garden-ecosystem, that exists… first and primarily, for itself. a world that doesn’t need likes, traffic, subscribers, or clicks… in order to validate its existence.

build a world that the RIGHT people… your kindred people… will discover, will gravitate towards, and fall in love

When I think, I ruin everything. That's why I avoid thinking… all really do is go on going on. And without questions about why or whither. If I think, a thing doesn't turn up, I don't happen. A thing that certainly is free to go as long as it's not imprisoned by thought.

Many people won't attempt something unless they can find an example of someone else who is already doing it. Rely on this type of thinking too much and you'll never do anything interesting. Your path through life is unique. It is important to extract lessons from the experiences of others, but you can't wait for a perfect example to take action.

i disagree deeply with the premise that web interfaces are 'spaces' or 'land' or 'architecture'

websites are absolutely not places or architecture, they are temporary bodies — interfaces are limbs and sensory organs
