Also can we get a profile on Michael Levin in 2026? The man literally just published a paper challenging and adding substantial rigor to the Theory of Evolution / Natural Selection with his Natural Induction theory. His Platonic Spaces symposium is some of the most interesting content to come out in a long time
Heck yea, it’s so applicable to business too. I’ve been building out a mind map on how it applies to business and using it internally at Levver (Levver.io) and externally with our clients. It’s been a profound shift , especially around integration of tech and humans and process and through hierarchy of Cognitive Light Cones
I fully second that. Michael Levin is rethinking our categories of reality in truly fascinating ways. Plus, SynBio is the most dynamic frontier in deep tech right now.
Have no doubt 2026 will be gang busters, NB just keeps getting better and differentiating itself. In my head I was think “The Return of Magic” was going to be on here and then realized it was a 2024 essay 🤦🏼♂️
As a student who loves reading and writing, I really appreciate posts like this that highlight thought-provoking essays. Having a good tutor can make a huge difference in developing critical thinking and writing skills, especially when exploring complex ideas. If you're ever looking for reliable study help or guidance, I’ve found that reviews on platforms like https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/mysupergeek-com can be helpful to find trustworthy resources. Keep up the great work!
In re The Electric Slide. China has a significant surplus of data centers running at 20-30% of capacity. Don’t think China is capable of networking those data centers? Don’t think China is capable of designing/introducing a much cheaper version of AI? An American startup is likely to IPO and bring a purpose-built transformer chip to market in 2026. This chip provides 20x the compute, greatly reduces legacy. Given most of data center energy is consumed via latency, the energy savings will be significant.
Given the demand assumptions provided by OpenAI and NVDA, any one of the above scenarios will be a credible threat to OpenAI and NVDA.
Legacy & Latency:
A game of musical chairs would begin, with the usual suspects sitting in the chairs when the music stops: GOOG, AMZN, MSFT, APPL, META.

This is in my top ~3 that I want to write.

it laid the groundwork for a lot of 2025!
Electric Slide was my favorite... regardless, thanks for making my 2025 more interesting and thought provoking
Thanks for reading this year, Iggy!
