“There Will Be No Intermission - On The Road With Amanda Palmer”, Medium (November 2019)

The Queen of Patreon wanted to become my patron. Via her patrons. I took on the job because what I am interested in is the same thing that interests Amanda. What is the point of making art, or making anything, at a time when we are accelerating into crisis?

“It’s The Environment Stupid - Why Everything is Terrible and Going to Get Worse”, Medium (July 2018)

Authoritarian politics rise from despair. When the future seems hopeless, people turn on each other in the present, and as long as our environment is dying, it is rational to be hopeless. 

"Whatever Happened to the Future?", Medium (January 2018)

Compared to the 1970s dystopias, today's vision of the future is more insidious because there’s no escape. Logan does not break free at the end of his Run, and there’s no fabled oasis at the end of the desert. Nobody escapes the system, because it extends to the edges of America, which in American popular culture equates to the ends of the Earth.

"Computer Says No", Medium (August 2016)

We take risks because we’re brave, or we’re dreamers, but let’s be honest — we also take risks because we routinely underestimate our chance of failure. The more clearly we can see that possible failure, the more hesitant we will become. In the end it might only be the super-rich or delusional who keep Dreaming Large.
