New keynote & workshop

The Infinite Lever.

Become singular in the face of the singularity.

AI can now produce work with every signal of quality and none of the substance. Use the tools aggressively for the friction that is in the way of the work, and protect the friction that is the work.

The plateau trap03

Plateau

Results without reps. Success without struggle.

The way out is VERVE.
