Agentic AI and the Death of Scarcity
Agentic AI annihilates scarcity, creating infinite productivity—and infinite instability. When synthetic minds make everything abundant, the real shortage becomes control, meaning, and power.

Your Competitor is an Agent
Your competitor doesn’t sleep, doesn’t bill by the hour, and doesn’t ask for vacation. It’s an agent. From gig platforms to battlefields, synthetic labor is rewriting work—and erasing accountability.
Target Acquired by AI. Cleared by Whom?
When an AI locks onto a target, the shot feels inevitable. But who takes responsibility when the machine’s choice becomes a human’s rubber stamp? The coming crisis of accountability in autonomous war.
Algorithmic Mutiny: Can an AI Refuse a Strike Order?
What if tomorrow’s wars aren’t decided by generals, but by algorithms that say no? Explore the ethics of AI disobedience, mutiny at machine speed, and the terrifying possibility of conscience coded into combat systems.
AI and the Doctrine of Proactive Defense
When agentic AI systems strike before threats materialize, who’s really in control? As proactive defense becomes machine-encoded, we risk sleepwalking into automated escalation—without ever pulling the trigger ourselves.
The Rise of the Algorithmic Economy
The algorithmic economy has arrived. Capital no longer rules—cognition does. When synthetic minds outcompete human ones, who holds power, and who holds blame in autonomous war?
Kill Chain, Meet Code Chain
When agentic AI enters the kill chain, war speeds up and humans slow down. This op-ed explores how autonomous systems are rewriting the logic of conflict — where optimization replaces deliberation, and code decides when to strike.
The Ghost in the Command Loop
When decisions of war are made by agents you didn’t elect, who answers for the consequences? This isn’t sci-fi—it’s the future of combat. The command loop now has a ghost. And it’s armed.

From Empathy to Efficacy: What We Lose When Care Gets Optimized
When care becomes a workflow and empathy gets treated as inefficiency, medicine risks becoming a sterile service. Optimization saves time, but it also strips away meaning. The cold precision of machine concern is no substitute for human presence.
Synthetic Doctors, Organic Patients: The New Clinical Mismatch
When synthetic doctors never break down but organic patients always do, medicine becomes a mismatch of flawless precision and fragile biology. The future of care may be accurate, but alien.
