Rabbit Hole Research

Narrative is code for the human brain. That's not a metaphor. That's Neal Stephenson's argument — and he's spent 40 years writing at that intersection. Before writing, before the internet, humans were already building a shared memory around a fire. The ability to take a near-death experience and hand it to someone else — so they don't have to live it themselves — is the most powerful evolutionary advantage a species could ever have. We also got into: → Why archetypes might be the eigenvectors of human experience → The parallel between writing code and writing fiction → Why AI can't replicate the feeling of seeing brushstroke marks on a painting → What happens when you remove telos from an AI interaction → WhenAir — and what it feels like when an NPC makes you feel embarrassed This… is Rabbit Hole Research.
