My book What's Our Problem? is now available. The book introduces a new framework for thinking about our chaotic political environment. With 303 drawings, it's a toolbox for understanding our societies, our group dynamics, and our own minds. Get it here:

I cannot emphasize enough how amazing this was. Videos like this do not do it justice. Truly feels like you're sitting on the field watching the game.

Live immersive MLB on Apple Vision Pro. It felt like I was at Yankee Stadium. The whole experience was incredible. Shot through the lens with iPhone since it can’t be recorded on headset.
