The Expert in the Room
ByMichael May 2, 2026May 10, 2026

I was scrolling through my feed last week when something stopped me. It looked like an interview, someone in a professional setting, answering thoughtful questions about AI adoption. It had the shape of a think piece. It was a sales presentation. The product was expertise itself. I have seen this advertisement before. Not this one…

When new data enters the pipeline, a full rerun used to mean hours. Pull everything, re-join everything, wait. That was the cost of keeping enrollment data current.

The Magic at the Intersections: Unleashing the Power of Interdisciplinary Thinking

The most insightful answers are those that examine…

Part 6 – I Built the Next Layer. It’s a Research Wiki That Grows Itself.
ByMichael May 12, 2026May 21, 2026

I thought the next layer would be more Obsidian configuration. It wasn’t. More graph view, more backlinks, more manual connection-making. That is what I used to do in Roam. I would spend real time threading notes together, following paths between ideas, maintaining a map of how everything connected. I did not do any of that….
