About
Anima Mundi is a newsletter about the world we stopped seeing: quantum navigation in a robin's eye, the readable archive inside glacial ice, the colours that wore off Greek statues. Long-form essays, read by 3,000 people, now expanding onto paper.
Impact
We are the most informed generation alive and the least in contact with the world we are informed about. Anima Mundi closes that gap with attention rather than more information, and returns beauty to people trained to call it a luxury.
Progress
Over 3,000 subscribers in a year, written alone. Essays on quantum biology, ice cores and dying languages. This season I began Life Letters, written by hand and sent by post. I asked who wanted one and three strangers sent me their home addresses.
Team
I spent a decade building technology and optimising for numbers until I could not remember an ordinary day. Then I left, travelled, and learned to look again. I write from that repair, not from theory. Each essay takes weeks and is signed by hand.

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
