It happens at 2am. You’re reading something—a tool, a headline, a thing your kid said—and suddenly you see the mechanism underneath. Not the topic. The way it works. The gap between what’s promised and what’s real.
That gap is the only interesting thing.
Everything else is noise—the opinions, the frameworks, the think pieces. But the gap? The gap has structure. And once you see it, you can’t unsee it in anything.
Most people see noise. I see structure.
