About Farshad Nasimi
This is a long-term writing project about attention, disciplined thinking, and responsible engagement with AI—built as an archive you can return to over years, not minutes.
What this site is for
Most writing online is optimized for speed. This site is optimized for re-reading. I publish reflective essays, curate reading lists, and revisit earlier work to see what still holds up—especially where science, meaning, and historical patterns intersect with today’s information overload.
A practice of attention
Attention is not just a personal skill—it’s a public resource. I’m interested in the habits and environments that make careful thought possible: slow reading, clear questions, and the willingness to update beliefs without losing a moral center.
AI & responsibility
Thinking clearly about powerful tools
Artificial intelligence changes what’s easy to do—and therefore what we’re tempted to do. I write about responsibility at the level of individuals, institutions, and incentives: how we choose, what we measure, and what we outsource.
★★★★★
““The essays here are an antidote to skimming—clear, careful, and willing to sit with uncertainty long enough to learn something real.””

How I work
I try to write in a way that respects your time: define terms, show assumptions, cite sources, and separate what I know from what I’m still working out. When I revise older pieces, I keep the record visible—because intellectual honesty includes change.
