A personal research site covering decision-making in healthcare, innovation, technology diffusion, automation, Medicaid, and non-monetary value.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-20 issue.

Why it surfaced

Silver’s agenda is unusually specific, spanning a text-based measure of innovation drawn from trademark language, simulations of automation and social change, and essays about meaning and collective rationality. The same site also includes a picture book about family and an archive of earlier projects, giving the page the feel of a genuinely lived-in intellectual portfolio.
