“If free will is real, then the question of whether artificial intelligence systems can or should acquire this capacity is urgent in a way that our philosophical debates have not adequately confronted,” Albert Yuan writes at the link in our bio.

Head there to read why he thinks AI puts a new spin on old questions about free will.

In 2025, Noema Magazine (@noemamag) published a wide range of essays that really stayed with readers. These ten pieces rose to the top, both with readers and the editorial team because they gave people something to think about long after they finished reading.

These are the essays Noema editors highlighted in 2025.

For millennia before we showed up on the scene, social animals — those living in societies & cooperating for survival — had been creating cultures imbued with ethics,” @jay__griffiths writes.

“Wolf ethos included babysitting the pups, sharing food with those too injured, sick or old to hunt & including friends in their packs, beyond the genetic kin. Wolf ethics also included being both a good individual & a good pack member.

Human societies, while often quite different from one to the next, generally have a shared ethos similar to that of wolves: Look after the young; protect the tribe; consider the needs of the sick, injured or old; & value the cooperation of others who may not be kin (friends, in other words). It is biomimicry applied to the ethical world. Wolves were doing it first, & we aped them.”

Head to the link in our bio to see how the actions of many different types of animals show them to be the ultimate source of morality.

A rebrand is always a journey. It requires research, stakeholder input, and a leap of faith. Our work for Architectural Windows of Virginia was no different. Enjoy a glimpse into our research and concepts during the process.

Thanks, @blake__cale , for the assist.

Maybe I say this too much. Maybe I just love this job too much. But seriously, I could not be more excited about the lineup of contributors in the May/June issue for CT. There were a number of people that graced our pages that I've been looking forward to working with for a long time—Derek Barney's paper sculptures, James Lee Chiahan's oil paintings, Micha Huigen and Owen Gent's illustration. It was really a joy to work with all these folks. And on top of that, several of our returning contributors churned out some of my favorite work yet!

This issue discusses our society's preoccupation with panic and anxiety from several angles. Using the vast array of notifications on our phones, I worked with Luigi Olivadoti again on the cover to capture all things in our modern lives that make us anxious. Ronan Lynam deftly took us back to the ominous events of January 6, 2021. And the James Walton duo (Chris Gash and Pete Ryan) came up with a herd of frolicking gods for our opening story on panic.

Posting a couple other features separately too. All of it is best seen in print, so go grab a copy.
