About

I'm Ben Page. I'm in my early fifties. I live with my wife Suzy and our three kids.

I've owned a small business since 2000. I write. I build things. Right now I'm obsessed with AI.

I've been working with a therapist for the first time in my life, and I'm discovering how much of what I believed about myself was shaped by culture and the systems I adapted to.

I used to think curiosity was a problem — that I was scattered, unfocused, too interested in too many things. Turns out it's the only thing I trust completely. It's what got me out of a belief system I didn't choose, into work I actually care about, and moving toward a version of my life that finally feels like mine.

About ten years ago I became an ideological free agent — not bound by any label, clique, or tribe. Free to follow my own sense-making abilities and experiment. I'm most interested in discovering the things that increase my sense of well-being and the well-being of everyone around me.

I have ADHD — diagnosed in adulthood. Fast processing, terrible working memory. My entire system is built around that: if it depends on me remembering to check something, it fails. The AI handles the memory. I handle the thinking.

One of the things I've discovered about myself is a deep need to share what I'm learning. This is my effort to do that.
