We've arranged a global civilization in which most crucial elements profoundly depend on science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology.

“We are now at the beginning of an age where we will have more information than we can possibly process. But let me remind you: Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.

I don't have Washington Post money. But I do have a local news outlet and a belief that local sports journalism matters.
If you're a WaPo sports writer looking at what's next, let's talk. Maybe we can figure something out together.

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.

That is all.
