Prefer listening? Click here to listen this article on Speechify. In the following, I want to briefly describe an ontological puzzle or riddle that I will then explore and solve in detail. But before that, it is necessary to make a few brief general theoretical observations: We exist in a Materium fundamentally composed of energy and matter. The Materium, also …
2025: Reject Safety, Embrace Chaos
As the clock resets and 2025 begins its orbit, I’m drawn to reflect on the science of decision-making and its profound influence—not just on my personal life, but also on the strategic trajectory of my company. This past year was a crucible of learning and evolution, defined by a deliberate focus on frameworks that challenge conventional approaches to setting and …
The Discontinuity Dilemma: Energy, Mars, and Infinity

Deconstructing Myself: An AI-Driven Threat Assessment
It started as a joke, as many things do. Somewhere between project deadlines and late-night brainstorming, a certain question began making the rounds in the industry echo chambers: “what would the real intelligence agencies think of the work we do at Deimos-One?” There’s an element of intrigue to it, one that some of us lean into a bit more than …
Our Mind Children
Genealogy is often described as a journey into one’s past, a quest to dig up the intricate (and often deeply buried) roots and branches of the family tree. Recently, I have been spending a lot of time (digging up the past) and trying to piece together my own family tree. My experiment began out of simple curiosity—who am I and …
Invisible Economics: Post-Scarcity, Chaos, & the Theory of the Future
Humans do not live in perfect harmony with each other. Rather, again and again conflicts arise between them. And the source of these conflicts is always the same: the scarcity of goods. I want to do X with a given good G, and you want to do simultaneously Y with the very same good. Because it is impossible for you …
Aliens, Superweapons, & the Fourth State of Matter
“Plasmas” up to a kilometer in size and behaving similarly to multicellular organisms have been filmed on 10 separate NASA space shuttle missions, over 200 miles above Earth within the thermosphere. These self-illuminated “plasmas” are attracted to and may “feed on” electromagnetic radiation. They have different morphologies: 1) cone, 2) cloud, 3) donut, 4) spherical-cylindrical; and have been filmed flying …
