Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the Week is from Alvin Toffler "The greatest problem of our time is that the future arrives before we are ready for it", used in the prologue of the series "On Entering the Age of Intelligent System," about how we stand at the threshold of a new epoch—one shaped not only by artificial intelligence, but by the questions it forces us to confront.
