Elon and the Tech Bros think A.I. will guarantee everyone an upperclass life. They just overlook one truth: all economies are built upon energy, especially robot economies peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2026/04/move...

Adorno described, with the tools of 1962, the precise mechanism by which Facebook's News Feed algorithm would, 45 years later, discover that outrage travels six times faster than calm analysis open.substack.com/pub/cooldesi...
If sanity were to return, what are some ways we could lock in protections for basic rights that we are watching be destroyed in real time now? Is there a vax for MAGA? Can we make one? peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2026/03/12-a...
Future historians will shake their heads in disbelief and puzzlement as they try to parse what happened in the 21st Century. Maybe a sun cycle? That it brought us Donald Trump, tho, was incredibly bad luck. It was a stress test for democracy. www.patreon.com/posts/godfat...
In a confrontation between the US and Iran, one needs to ask, who’s better equipped to live in the 12th century if it comes to that? medium.com/@cooldesign/...
It is not enough to protest. The question is whether we can restructure human societies to meet the planet’s standards rather than expecting the planet to adjust. substack.com/home/post/p-...

In the final analysis, what do the price of oil, the deployment of the army, and the perils and promise of A.I. all have in common? open.substack.com/pub/cooldesi...
After Spain refused US military use of its bases, the Don promised to “cut off all trade with Spain.”
1. Spain would be violating laws if its bases were used without a UN resolution;
2. Cutting trade with Spain would violate GATT Articles I and II;
3. It would end with EU cutting all trade with US
Operation Epstein Fury will be a bad memory someday but in the meantime, Nuremberg-like trials will populate Spandau-like prisons peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2026/03/drai...
Assuming POTUS does not invoke war powers to suspend the midterms, what secrets might Congress find in the swamps? cooldesign.substack.com/p/draining-t...
I don't often agree with MAGA but they are right: if you get lost while hiking, you should retrace to find the trail. It’s the same for climate change or the Iran nuclear deal peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2026/03/my-n...
We evolved with remarkable capacities, but also with susceptibilities—tribalism, emotion‑driven reasoning, hero‑worship. A 32-count felon with a history of grift, bankruptcy, lechery, and money laundering can exploit those susceptibilities very effectively. www.patreon.com/posts/151749...
This *year* the world will heat four times faster than in the entire century between 1750 and 1850. By 2030, it could be at 5X. The extreme fires, floods, “snownadoes“ and “firenadoes“ draw our attention, but yo ain’t seen nuttin yet. cooldesign.substack.com/p/my-not-ver... @herbsimmens.bsky.social

Widespread disinformation on social media and the distrust of more reputable sources share common roots with the cancel culture of the 1980s and 90s. Perhaps there is something we can learn from that comparison. cooldesign.medium.com/canceling-th...
It might be said that Gen Z is the most socially aware and digitally inclined generation. It could also be said that they are the most easily manipulated by the new media open.substack.com/pub/cooldesi...
Social media, with A.I. jet fuel, propagates disinformation at light speed, heedless of repercussions or restraint. Some have learned to surf while others only stand on waves. And others, writers like myself, only stand and wave peaksurfer.blogspot.com/2026/02/loot...
From politics to pizza toppings, social media propagates disinformation at light speed, knowing neither borders nor restraint. But hey, it's not like social media platforms have any responsibility to ensure accuracy. That would be censorship, and we can't have that! open.substack.com/pub/cooldesi...
