Welcome to The Nightcrawler — a weekly newsletter from Eric Markowitz covering tech, innovation, and long-term thinking.

Our nearby Ring Nebula, with JWST’s eyes, shows evidence for planet formation. Will the Sun eventually destroy, and then replace, the Earth?

Neuroscientist and author Bobby Azarian explores the idea that the Universe is a self-organizing system that evolves and learns.

Since mid-2022, JWST has been showing us how the Universe grows up, from planets to galaxies and more. So, what’s its biggest find of all?

The integration of artificial intelligence into public health could have revolutionary implications for the global south—if only it can get online.

It’s knowledgeable, confident, and behaves human-like in many ways. But it’s not magic that powers AI though; it’s just math and data.

Two great philosophies — but do they work better together?

All biological systems are wildly disordered. Yet somehow, that disorder enables plant photosynthesis to be nearly 100% efficient.

Snorre Kjesbu — SVP & GM of Cisco’s Employee Experience group — has a bold vision for the future of human interaction.

“Why is it that the quality of our information did not improve over thousands of years? Why is it that very sophisticated societies have been as susceptible as stone age tribes to mass delusion and the rise of destructive ideologies?”
