I built something for that feeling
You’ve probably noticed the pattern by now.
A new tool arrives. A new framework. A new system for thinking about work in the AI moment. You engage with it genuinely — and somewhere in the middle of it you realize you’re doing the same thing you were doing before, just with a different interface on top.
It’s not the tools that are failing. It’s that every solution being offered is operating at the same layer as the problem. More process on top of a process that was already running too thin.
That feeling isn’t a productivity problem. It’s a signal that something structural has shifted — and the map everyone’s handing you was made before the shift happened.
That’s what History of the Soma has been building toward. Not another framework. A different starting point entirely.
I’ve put together something I’m calling The Sensing Gap — a 5-part sequence that lays out the full diagnosis: what’s actually happening, why the usual responses aren’t reaching it, and what it looks like to move differently from here.
It’s free. It’s here. And it’s designed to be traveled in order — each part opens the next one.
If something in it lands — and I think something will — there’s more on the other side of it.
