Literature, Storytelling, and Symbolic Worlds
A practical foundation for moving from plot summary and personal reaction to evidence-grounded interpretations of character pressure, narration, structure, genre, symbols, and narrative worlds.
Clear Technical Writing, Rhetoric, and Explanation
Turn technical knowledge into reader-centered explanations and durable documentation by choosing the right document shape, revealing mechanisms through concrete examples, writing for decisions and operations, and revising a maintained service docs pack.
Rhetoric, Debate, and Deep Conversations
Turn disagreement into joint inquiry by asking generative questions, listening for the real claim, reconstructing arguments fairly, mapping reasons, noticing identity pressure, and designing conversations that produce clearer beliefs or next steps.
Great Books: Russian, Modern, and Absurdist Literature

Use English verb tenses to describe current state, ongoing work, past incidents, evidence, plans, rollouts, and technical timelines.
Technical English: Modals and Engineering Judgment
Use modal and auxiliary verbs to express ability, uncertainty, obligation, recommendation, permission, risk, inference, and retrospective judgment in technical work.
Technical English: Gerunds and Infinitives in Engineering Work
Use gerunds and infinitives to talk about goals, plans, avoidance, preference, purpose, repeated work, and technical trade-offs.
Technical English: Nouns, Articles, and Countability
Use nouns, articles, plurals, uncountable technical words, quantifiers, and ownership language to make engineering sentences precise.
Technical English: Pronouns and Determiners for Clear References
Use pronouns, possessives, demonstratives, substitutes, and distributive determiners to keep technical references clear across sentences, groups, and alternatives.
Technical English: Clauses, Modifiers, and Comparison
Add identifying detail, qualification, and comparison to technical sentences without hiding the component, evidence, constraint, or trade-off being described.

Choose prepositions that make system location, request paths, timelines, methods, dependencies, and operational boundaries precise.
Technical English: Connectors and Phrasal Verbs
Connect evidence, constraints, actions, and consequences in short engineering communication, then use common operational phrasal verbs with clear agency and natural object placement.
Epistemology and Knowledge Systems
Audit claims by separating belief from knowledge, testing evidence and defeaters, evaluating testimony and disagreement, and tracing how institutions create or distort trust.
History of Ideas and Technology
