About Orientation
Orientation is a place for people who have begun to notice that the world is changing - and that familiar explanations no longer quite work.
It is written from inside that moment: after belief, before certainty.
It is a lens that focuses while things are still unfolding, while meanings are unstable, incentives are shifting, and conclusions would be premature.
What this writing is doing
Orientation lives in the process of re-orienting.
It moves between:
the macro and the intimate
systems and lived experience
technology and meaning
money, work, power, and personal agency
Sometimes it zooms out - to institutions, economics, incentives, and technology.
Sometimes it zooms in - to uncertainty, confidence, fear, curiosity, and small private shifts in perspective. The throughline is not opinion. It is attention.
The aim is to notice what is actually happening. Without nostalgia, without hysteria, and without pretending the old rules still apply just because they are familiar.
This writing is for people who feel:
slightly behind the curve, but awake
unsure, but no longer willing to sleepwalk
curious rather than angry
cautious, but open
People who sense that another way of thinking - and living - may be possible, even if it is not yet fully formed.
Orientation does not offer escape. It offers bearings.
A small internal shift: Oh. That’s why I feel like this.
