Today I'm announcing the launch of Field Report, a print-only magazine.
Most of us are writing online, where content is indexed by Google and used as training data for OpenAI. Our words are being lost in the sea of AI generated garbage that now fills what's left of the internet

There’s been a ton of interest in the event tomorrow but we’re sadly at capacity.
I still want to get a copy to everyone who wants one - I’m flying into SF this afternoon and will be in the marina through tomorrow. If you want a copy, DM me and I’ll make sure you get one.

Field Report is simply a channel for friends and mutuals to put their great writing into print

Field Report is an experiment to raise distribution costs above $0 and restrict transfer between mutuals — this automatically enforces a standard of decency in the content of the mag. The only real encryption is transfer between familiar hands. There is no "tech" that solves this

The coolest thing in the world is getting emails from people I've never met saying "I got a copy of Field Report from x" and they mention someone else who I don't know
The experiment is working. The pamphlet is trickling out 4 or 5 degrees away from me without an online presence

This is because along with Field Report I'm launching a publishing house for writers and founders to supplement their online presence with a physical one through magazines and pamphlets.

If you would like for your readers and followers to receive a pamphlet or magazine compiled with your content, inquire at or shoot me a DM.
You can also reach out if you'd like to contribute to Field Report Volume 2.

The internet gave us free distribution and now AI has given us free production.
Using the internet alone for consuming content is already an unbearable experience unless you're using very specific filters (what platforms you use, who you read, what curators you follow, etc).

Compound is capitalizing on the only space that matters — physical. Everyone is producing content but there’s still plenty of space on my coffee table to claim..
If you want to be taken seriously, start putting your ideas into print
I very much enjoy it when smart people put together well-written ideas and beautiful print and design, and send it to me to enjoy.
I want a renaissance of this kind of content. Who else wants to send me beautifully-printed high quality writing?

In this 1st volume, the contributions range from long form pieces on topics such as the illicit antiquities trade and the DuPont family philanthropies all the way to 1 paragraph ideas and excerpts from other books. It's a prefiltered sum of content that can only be found in print

Most of us are already writing on Substack but how serious can we be taken if our writing is just another email notification? It's time to be taken seriously and add print to the content stack.

i can't wait for my copy, genuinely. brennie is incredibly thoughtful and he's got me excited about analog mediums
there's something refreshing about taking time to craft atoms (and not bits). especially nowadays. it's a palpable effort, hard not to notice.

I keep hearing from the first recipients of Field Report Vol 1 is that it opened them up to content they usually wouldn't "click" on
This is why medium is so important. Content bends to the medium. It's hard to see this when content production is de facto digital exclusive

A tweet just doesn’t do the Mythic II justice. Keegan has the best eye of any person I know and he can do on his own what would usually require a team of 10 across 5 disciplines.
It’s a true feat for a Mythic to exist today let alone to be made entirely by one man. Salute
A friend wanted a beautiful, serene computer. He couldn't find one, so I made one for him.
This is the Mythic II — it has transcription, thermal printing, conversational AI, notes, a pdf/ebook reader, and nothing else.

These outcomes are hard coded into print which set it apart as a medium. You're probably noticing that I don't have much to say about Field Report and have a lot to say about print.

The problem with generalized tools is that they always converge on their cheapest use. This is why the iPhone is now materially a TikTok hardware device. And there's no escaping its gravitational pull – even if you don't download tiktok, every other app you use is converging on

YEAR OF THE PAMPHLET
I’m in a book store. I love them.
Ever notice how many books should have been 15-20 page blog posts?
100 years ago there was a thriving industry in 10-50 page pamphlets that sold for lower price points.
Capitalism killed it.
Nobody in the chain wants to be in the low
