What changed

All 5 blog posts rewritten from scratch based on voice-profile.md calibration session with Scott.

Thesis changes

AI Brain Fry: Reconfiguration, not damage. Seed metaphor. Forward orientation. Ask Arnold.
Surveillance Dividend: Problem + direction. You're being strip-mined; here's how to lead toward cultivation.
Gallup Disengagement: Fear-based development. Elijah. Boldness, faith, purpose, persistence.
DevEx Shift: Adoption over tooling. Who gives a crap about things never used.
Token Anxiety: Token anxiety is BS. Directionless work is the real problem.

Voice changes

Experience-led openings (not data-led)
No consultant-deck structure
No mic-drop closers; open endings
Pointed metaphors, not over-explained
Biblical references as pop culture
Semicolons, no em dashes
No AI vocabulary
Builds understanding, not authority
