Knowledge Maximalism is a weekly essay newsletter arguing that the growth of knowledge is objectively good, mixing philosophy of science, economic history and cultural criticism. Its issues range from reading Leonard Cohen through Karl Popper to tracing how new ideas are resisted as heresies, though one recent issue promotes the author's AI-assisted book.

A personal newsletter exploring biology and biological engineering through essays on research experience, scientific reasoning and speculative synthetic biology. Readers get reflective, well-explained pieces that examine why scientific claims hold up or fall apart.
Essays by a social scientist that examine how research and common sense interact, the limits of progress in psychology, and why people reflexively assume cynical explanations for higher motives. Readers get argued, example-driven analysis of how social science works and where its claims are strong or weak.
A newsletter that uses the history and philosophy of science and technology to analyse where AI is heading. Issues combine historical narrative, such as Bell Labs and neural network history, with argumentative essays on scaling, paradigms and the effects of AI and robotics.
