This publication explores signal, systems, and belief in a time of accelerating complexity.

If you’re sensing that the world is unraveling—not just politically or technologically, but epistemically—this space is for you.

I write in two key threads:

  • The Cognition Age of Computing — essays on AI, agentic systems, platform design, and the interface shift reshaping how we think, choose, and govern.

  • Chevan Writes about Humans — reflections on belief, power, ethics, identity, and the work of staying human in an increasingly dehumanizing world.

  • Boring Economics (and Politics) - I try to simplify modern ideas and concepts about Economics from 30 years of personal investigation. U.S. Economic philosophy has become so intertwined with Politics that my writing veers into political narrative territory at times too.

Some pieces are structured frameworks. Others are narrative dispatches. All are signals in search of coherence.

Every post goes straight to your inbox—no noise, just signal.


Support the Signal

I’ve opened up pledges for those who believe in the long arc of this work: from cognitive agency and democratic imagination to belief transformation and system renewal.

Everything here remains free for now.

But if you’re aligned with the deeper direction of this work—and want to help shape future tools, essays, and signal infrastructure—pledging is a quiet but powerful way to raise your hand.

Thank you for reading, reflecting, and thinking forward with me.
