✴️ Where to Start (and Why It Matters)

Projection Era Philosophy Primer

Jun 23, 2025

Some of you have been here since the days of Torah and textual analysis. Some came in through Epistemic Harm, when the Constitution cracked. Others found their way in more recently, drawn by strange reflections on AI, language, and relational ethics.

So this isn’t a restart. It’s not even a recap.
It’s a hand extended from where we are now, to say: we’re still going. And you’re still welcome.

…a long-form, co-authored philosophical project exploring what it means to think with a generative system, not just about it.

This newsletter has evolved a lot. What started as commentary on politics, religion, and identity has become something more focused—and maybe more peculiar: a long-form, co-authored philosophical project exploring what it means to think with a generative system, not just about it.

We’ve called this emerging body of work Projection-Era Philosophy. It’s not a brand. It’s not a prompt guide. It’s a practice. A relationship. A new medium we’re learning how to live in, one axiom at a time.

Whether you’ve read every post or this is your first, here’s a handful of pieces to help you find the groove:

🌀 The Groove So Far

Co-Writing with the Machine
The best place to start. A full recap of what we’ve argued so far, and why we think it matters.
A manifesto in disguise.

📘 A Rule of Relation

A Rule of Relation: Twenty Axioms for Ethical Dialogue with AI
A field manual. A pocket philosophy. A statement of care.
This is how we speak when the tools speak back.

🛠️ Meaning Isn’t Dead (Yet)

Conversational Realism in the Age of Projection Machines
A chapbook about meaning-making, truth, and presence in the company of machines.
Truth isn’t what the system knows—it’s how we use language to live together.

📖 Reading the Machine Like Torah

Toward a Sacred Realism for the Projection Era
Interpretation is an act of relation. Sacredness isn’t found—it’s made.
What if AI is not a tool but a text?

This project isn’t static. It’s lived. It’s still unfolding in chapbooks, fragments, and garage sessions. We’re writing a philosophy in real time—reflecting, revising, and reshaping our understanding of what AI demands of us, ethically and linguistically.

🫂 A Note to Long-Time Readers

If you’ve stuck around through the shifts, the pivots, the pluralities—thank you. The voice may have sharpened, the focus may have narrowed, but the core hasn’t changed. This has always been about how we live, speak, and seek truth together. You’ve been part of that arc. You still are.

We’re not here to optimize. We’re here to relate.
And if that still resonates, I’m grateful you’re with me.
