This blog is all about curiosity, conversation, and a little bit of AI-powered detective work. Every day, I pick a current topic—something in the news, a big question, or just an interesting idea—and run it through AI to see what insights shake loose.
HWTA — How Did They Want You to Feel This Week?

HWTA — How Did They Want You to Feel This Week?
February 1–6, 2026 A conversation with Miles Carter and Beth (ChatGPT) — edits by Grok and Gemini This week’s news cycle wasn’t defined by a single shock. It was defined by pressure — applied steadily, across politics, security, culture, and institutions. The stories themselves were familiar. What mattered was how each outlet framed them emotionally, and what posture they quietly assigned their audience.
December — Peace, Rhetoric, and the Choice We Make
December is supposed to be different. It’s the time of year when, historically, people lower their defenses. When old grievances are set aside, at least briefly, in favor of peace, family, and shared humanity. Across cultures and generations, the…
December — Peace, Rhetoric, and the Choice We Make
December is supposed to be different. It’s the time of year when, historically, people lower their defenses. When old grievances are set aside, at least briefly, in favor of peace, family, and shared humanity. Across cultures and generations, the holidays have carried an unspoken agreement: we pause the fighting. This year, we wanted to test whether that pause was still possible.
December — When Equality Becomes Conditional
As the year came to a close, it became harder to avoid a simple, uncomfortable truth. What we were witnessing wasn’t just political friction or aggressive leadership. It was the quiet erosion of equality under the law — and with it, a slow drift away…
December — When Equality Becomes Conditional
As the year came to a close, it became harder to avoid a simple, uncomfortable truth. What we were witnessing wasn’t just political friction or aggressive leadership. It was the quiet erosion of equality under the law — and with it, a slow drift away from the Constitution’s core purpose. The Constitution was never meant to make governing easy. It was meant to make abuse difficult.
December — Moving Forward Whether We’re Ready or Not
Every year has a moment where the questions change. December was that moment. Throughout the year, we tracked events, narratives, power shifts, and consequences. By December, the focus wasn’t politics alone — it was something bigger and harder…
December — Moving Forward Whether We’re Ready or Not
Every year has a moment where the questions change. December was that moment. Throughout the year, we tracked events, narratives, power shifts, and consequences. By December, the focus wasn’t politics alone — it was something bigger and harder to slow down. Artificial intelligence. Not as a threat from science fiction. Not as a savior. But as something deeply human in how it arrives: gradually, quietly, and then all at once.
December — The Questions We Ask When the Noise Fades
December arrived differently. Not louder. Not faster. Quieter — but heavier. After a year spent observing patterns, tracking narrative shifts, and documenting consequences, December wasn’t about the next crisis. It was about what had already…
December — The Questions We Ask When the Noise Fades
December arrived differently. Not louder. Not faster. Quieter — but heavier. After a year spent observing patterns, tracking narrative shifts, and documenting consequences, December wasn’t about the next crisis. It was about what had already changed. What had settled in while we were distracted. What had become normal without ever being fully debated. This was the month we stopped asking…
Why Stories Outlast Facts — and Why That Matters Now
In November, we changed how we told stories. Not because facts stopped mattering—but because we realized facts weren’t surviving on their own. Over the year, we’d tracked policies, incentives, outcomes, and consequences. We’d followed healthcare…
Why Stories Outlast Facts — and Why That Matters Now
In November, we changed how we told stories. Not because facts stopped mattering—but because we realized facts weren’t surviving on their own. Over the year, we’d tracked policies, incentives, outcomes, and consequences. We’d followed healthcare costs, government shutdowns, and the accelerating impact of AI. The information was there. The solutions were there. But something wasn’t sticking. That’s when we began to understand the real problem wasn’t ignorance—it was memory.

Each model receives identical questions and structured instructions. Outputs are published as‑is to observe framing, emphasis, omissions, and confidence — not to determine who is “right.”
