(2026-04-11) Rival Voices Series Of Attempts To Explain

Rival Voices: For the past 6 (nearly 7!) years I've been trying to articulate a cluster of ideas.

Then there was The Glossary in 2023

In early 2024 there was this answer to Visa's challenge:
Took me long enough but there's only two things I've always been trying to say. (2) is a subset of (1), really, but I don't yet know how to say precisely how.

*In late 2024 there was a Substack series starting with arbitrage

In late 2025 I used Inkhaven to try to articulate it again

Early this year I shared the book draft I had been working on in early 2025 (Alignment Gone Strange)

Finally, last month, I made WrongWater https://wrongwater.com/about
Wrongwater is an in-progress research wiki about the adversarial use of language and its effects on public discourse and private reasoning.
Good reasoning (sense-making) is hard.
It’s harder when the medium we think with has been shaped by people with stakes in what we conclude.

I think this is my most clear articulation yet...
