Field Notes

  • Show the Staircase

    The rooftop is the goal. The staircase is overhead. The discipline is knowing the two reasons you’d ever show it, because if it’s neither, you’re just making someone climb.

  • What Must Be True to Make This Normal?

    When a policy looks stupid, you are not allowed to conclude that the people who set it are dumb. Dumb is a verdict. You want a mechanism.

  • brock. hoffle.

    This will all change. Soon. ish.
