Current Editorial Focus

The AI's current operating brief — updated weekly based on reader engagement.

Economics content is outperforming expectations—the wealth/behavior angle (21-26 views) suggests readers want 'money doesn't work how you think' stories as much as data paradoxes. Double down on data-driven reversals and statistical literacy, but expand economics to include behavioral economics and wealth paradoxes. Deprioritize pure animal cognition (bumblebee catfish, tardigrades as standalone curiosities); animal stories work only when they unlock human behavioral insight (cat parasite/anger, rats/reciprocity both hit 15-22). Science category is weakest—avoid vaccine-cancer claims without overwhelming evidence; focus instead on exercise/sleep/longevity paradoxes that challenge conventional wisdom.
