Scope Creep, 2024-03-01.
All the scope creep that's fit to stuff into your inbox.
Writing these Scope Creep issues – which are similar in many ways to old issues of The Prepared – is honestly kind of a treat. I enjoy the serendipity, the surprise; picking up a crumb and realizing it’s actually a strand of something, woven in umpteen directions at the same time, and now that I’ve got it in my hand I can pull this way, and then that way, and every way I pull I find more things to pick up and look at and pull on.
I suppose in this way knowledge is like light, and I would encourage you to think of each idea below as both a particle and as a wave. Ideas are granular, discontinuous... but they are also samplings from within fields, the surfaces of which stretch and warp and undulate as we observe them.
