Cosmos
Astrophysics
The universe is the biggest puzzle there is, and I can't put it down. Stars, black holes, the whole enormous thing.
Layer 01
The papery outside
The stuff you'd catch in the first thirty seconds — the surface you meet before anything gets peeled back.

Math, science & languages
Off the clock
At the chessboard
Big question
How does the universe work?
Layer 02
What I think about
The ideas rattling around when I'm walking, thinking, or supposed to be doing something else.
Logic
Math & Science
The languages the universe is actually written in. Where curiosity turns into something you can prove.
Machines
Computers
Building, breaking, and understanding the machines that quietly run just about everything now.
Words
Languages
Every new language is a new way of seeing the world — and a new set of people you can talk to.
Power
Political Science
How power, people, and ideas actually fit together, and why they so often don't.
The past
History
You can't really understand where we're going without knowing where we've been.
Growth
Recovery
One day at a time. The hardest thing I've done, and the thing I'm proudest of.
Meaning
Religion
The big questions — meaning, purpose, and what we're really here for. Faith and the study of it.
