We’re not made to live this way.

Modern life is incompatible with our human needs and rhythms.

The modern food environment is making us sick. The modern information environment is making us crazy. Modern work is making us miserable. Modern leisure is pushing us apart. We are overstimulated and under-challenged in ways that are destructive to our minds and bodies.

The Escape is my exploration of what’s gone wrong and what we can do about it. It’s about breaking free and moving forward, together, to a better place.

My goal in this space is quality, not quantity. I publish research-focused posts a few times a month, and only if I have something worth saying. AI is not, and never will be, part of my writing process.
