Call to Think is an independent publication exploring artificial intelligence, technology, philosophy, science, and critical thinking.

It's for people who want to slow down and actually think, not just scroll past headlines. The goal isn't to be first. It's to be useful.

What you'll find here

Essays that take a position. Analysis that digs beneath the surface. Commentary that names patterns worth noticing. Every piece starts with a question worth asking and ends with something worth remembering.

The name is deliberate. A call to think is an invitation: to pause, examine what you believe, and consider whether the evidence supports it. That's the standard held here as a writer, and the experience readers should walk away with.

Topics covered here

Five threads run through the archive, and the Articles page links to all of them:

• AI agents: how agent harnesses, tools, and evaluation actually determine what an AI system can do.
• AI evaluation: what a benchmark score establishes, what it only appears to, and how to tell the difference.
• AI and humanity: what abundant intelligence changes about purpose, wisdom, and work.
• AI, science, and mathematics: where AI is genuinely contributing to discovery, and where it isn't.
• Critical thinking: the mechanics of doubt, reflection, and reasoning well.

Who writes here

Call to Think is written by Aditya Karnam, who works on AI agent infrastructure: agent runtimes, MCP, retrieval and memory systems, model routing, and evaluation tooling. That background is why the AI-agent essays on this site engage with the mechanics of harnesses and evals directly rather than at a distance. The writing and the engineering come from the same ongoing work.

Several essays are explicitly credited as assisted writing, done in collaboration with AI models (Claude, and occasionally Codex), and marked as such in the byline. The ideas, arguments, and edits are human; the tools are named rather than hidden.

More on the engineering work: adityakarnam.com, systems & projects, GitHub, and LinkedIn.

Call to Think is independent. No sponsored content, no brand partnerships, just focused writing on things that matter.
