    Sun rays breaking through cloud cover over water

    Decoherence is what makes the classical world classical — the mechanism most quantum spirituality refuses to name
    Decoherence Without the Mysticism

    An unromantic guide to why quantum effects don't survive at human scales, and why that's the most interesting fact in physics, not the least.

    A small portfolio: few positions, sized to matter, held with the kind of belief that does not need a hedge

    A male lion asleep in the grass in full sun, entirely at ease

    A clenched grip loosening into an open hand, the moment effort inverts into ease
    Trying Too Hard Ruins You

    The Lucky Girl Syndrome trend, reframed as an eighty-year-old technique

    The two words at the center of every contemplative tradition that took consciousness seriously
    I AM: The Most Leveraged Words You Speak

    The Real Bible: Neuroanatomy and Physics
    The Real Bible: Neuroanatomy and Physics

    Krishna and Christ read as the same teaching in two languages
    Krishna and Christ: The Same Teaching Twice
