What I'm working on
One idea in different materials: encoding good decisions so they’re easy to keep.
iOS app
Portent
An iOS app that makes the small decisions for you. It draws from decks you keep (meals, chores, perfume), weighted by your sleep, your calendar and the weather, and you press Obey. “Will you abide by fate?”
Writing
Myth Project
Building a modern mythology that encodes good heuristics. 32 books on the reading list, and moving slowly. I occasionally live stream my reading.
