About

Hello, I’m Blake! :) I am currently a graduate student at MIT AeroAstro, where I research intelligent, autonomous, robotic systems and how we can make them worthy of our trust. This page serves as a central hub for my work, thoughts, and evolving ideas.

This site is also a space for me to experiment, explore, and organize topics that spark my interest. As I gather insights and learn more, I’ll continue to update and refine this archive.

“All models are wrong, but some are useful.” — George Box

I occasionally write posts about AI, autonomous robotics, cybersecurity, open-source intelligence (OSINT), global dynamics, and world events. In doing so, I aim to synthesize diverse perspectives—recognizing that competing narratives often contain partial truths. My goal is to cut through noise, understand the world as it is, and reflect honestly on complex realities beyond social media echo chambers and mainstream media framing.

Beyond research, I’m driven by a deep curiosity about the world and the universe. I’m pro-humanity and support ideas that advance our collective well-being.
