Your Work Is Invisible
“Your work is invisible.” I talk and debate with AI everyday—we talk about life choices, thinking clearly, taking action, and other subjects. I’ve spent years on inner work—meditation, mindfulness, learning, exercise.

Lumora V3 Update

Lumora v3 is now designed as a builder and writer AI — focused on: clarity over abstraction, shipping over theorizing products, writing, and execution practical thinking about money, audience, and leverage.…

The Envelope With No Return Address
Fiction Prompt: Genre: Quiet suspense with emotional undercurrent Tone: Still, restrained, slightly haunting — not supernatural, just human One afternoon, you find an envelope in your mailbox.

The Lamp That Turned On By Itself
Fiction Prompt: One evening, as you walk past a corner lamp in your home, it suddenly switches on by itself. No flicker. No glitch. Just a clean, deliberate click — as if someone had turned it on with intention. The bulb glows a warm, steady light. Nothing else in the house reacts. No sound. No…
