A year of thinking

Start here: "Cognitive Sovereignty" a collection of philosophical aphorisms

Cognitive Sovereignty is a year-long exploration of society, technology, nature, and the future of life on Earth through daily aphorisms, weekly philosophical reflections and seasonal essays. Each new entry builds toward a larger philosophical collection to be gathered in print. This project sits alongside my fiction work and functions as its philosophical backbone.

Daily aphorisms

• Published daily on Notes and discussed in public

• Added to a chronological archive including tags and links to deep-dives

Weekly deep-dives

Each week, I take one aphorism and expand it into a longer philosophical reflection.

• Cognitive sovereignty

• There is no nature

• Everything is new under the sun

• AI is thirstier than humans

• We are the fireflies in the dark

• The machines will never be our overlords

• Your life should not be mined for content

Essays

For 2026, two to three longer essays are planned. Links to essays will be added here.

You are the smallest unit of resistance: a unique worldview that encapsulates the entire universe. A clear mind can poke a hole in the fabric of our collective reality and glimpse at possible futures.

Thank you for reading,
