A Species Without a Stop Button
Germany surrendered on May 8, 1945. Trinity was July 16. The reason for the bomb died in the spring and a hundred and thirty thousand people worked straight through the summer. One man quit. We are about to run the same experiment, faster.
The Empty State Building
In 1930, with the economy face down in the dirt, ironworkers stacked the tallest thing on Earth in 410 days. Then it opened and almost nobody came. What that empty tower knows about the decade in front of us, and about the four percent of adults quietly training for it.
The Trillionaire and the Worrier: Who’s Really Building the AI Future
In 1939 Einstein signed the letter that started the clock on the bomb. A man just became the first trillionaire. The one who may matter more runs a company you cannot name, and the technology that could remake everything is the first ever built with no government holding the key.
A Letter to My Brother, Who Isn’t Buying the AI Hype
My brother is waiting until AI is safe, proven, and regulated. He isn’t a fool, he’s careful. So was every man who waited out the lightbulb, the automobile, and the internet, right up until the world flipped the switch and left him sitting in the dark.

Six weeks of experimenting with NotebookLM convinced me we are not watching an evolution. We are watching a replacement. Sorry, Neo was…
Sitting on a Gold Mine: How Canada Buried Its Fortune in Red Tape and Called It Progress
Canada sits on unimaginable natural wealth, yet projects take over a decade to clear environmental assessments. We have effectively replaced resource development with 131,754 federal regulations, driving billions in capital and top talent out of the country. Are we willing to cut the red tape and finally build our future?
The Locked Door: How Canada Got Stuck Waiting for Its Inheritance

Canada at the Crossroads: A Nation With Every Advantage, Squandering Most of Them
