Good to connect. I’m new to Substack after trading in my PPE and tools, and I now write about markets, risk, and the stories we tell ourselves to stay comfortable.
After the Close is less about prediction and more about process. Discipline over drama. Thinking clearly when the screens go dark. The writing is partly a way for me to slow things down and stay honest, especially in a space that rewards noise.
If you ever have a moment to look through it, I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback on the process. Good or bad is fine. I can handle it.
It scares me that there is this much adulation and trivialising of new tech, to the point where we need all this new capacity, at what cost? Why are we using AI like a search engine for every single stupid question we have? Would a ring fence have been too much to contemplate?
Meanwhile we burn more wood and fossil fuels than ever before and the climate needs the absolute opposite trajectory and mindset— which needn’t be worse by the way, just different.
I always question the framing of ‘progress’ at this point in Earth’s history. It’s only progress if it’s efficient, and conserves what we have. But it looks like we are installing resource-vampire mind dumps all over the place.
