Writing
Fiction and essays about minds, systems, and possible futures.
Joel's work circles questions of agency, moral psychology, artificial intelligence, and institutional life: how people make decisions under uncertainty, how systems learn to speak in the language of care, and what remains personal when prediction becomes infrastructure.
