An exploration of spatial computing, AI, and being human in the digital age
Medium Energy is a newsletter and podcast covering spatial computing, AI, and the convergence of the two.
These tools are blurring the lines between the physical and digital world, fundamentally changing the nature of the human experience. As such, Medium Energy also explores what it means to be human in the digital age.
Our ultimate goal is to uncover how these technologies can make us more human, not less.
Success in doing so is ‘Medium Energy’: a state of harmony between the physical and digital world that maximizes human flourishing and well-being.
Here are some of my more popular and well regarded essays to give you a taste of what’s to come:
Wait… WTF is ‘Medium Energy’?
Medium Energy is a mantra for survival and human flourishing in the age of exponential tech.
It’s my simple reminder of how to wrestle with the realities of a rapidly changing world; which often depends on our ability to manage cognitive dissonance, i.e. the ability to hold two opposing ideas in your mind at the same time; two things that are contradictory but both true.
Such is the nature of technology. It’s not neutral. It has consequences in both directions and our success lies in finding that healthy tension between its pros & cons.
That healthy tension is Medium Energy.
If you want to go deeper… Medium Energy also represents the peace in balancing discipline and surrender, or the wholeness between the poetic and the empirical.
It’s also a reflection of the nature of reality. Such as how light can be both a particle and a wave… or how emergence in complex systems stems from that perfect balance between chaos & order
Yes, when you look close enough, Medium Energy appears everywhere, on just about every plane of existence.
This is my quest to explore them all…

This is my moonlight passion project. So if you subscribe, I appreciate you fueling the embers.
Assuming I’m victorious against the procrastination demons, expect me to release at least 1-2 pieces per month.
Writing on these topics is how I learn, cement my thinking, and chase both flow states and my (ephemeral) muse.
I’m confident you too will find Medium Energy educational, thought provoking, and flow state inducing. But only one way to find out… Subscribe below! (okay that was cheesy, I know. Let’s just go with it.)
