I've been writing for a few years. Here are some of my favourite pieces:

• Nov '25, A Market of Whispering Earrings
• Jun '25, Build Your Exoskeleton
• Oct '24, Understanding Emergence

[civilisation]

The tools we build in the next few decades must balance the triple point of paleolithic emotions, medieval institutions, godlike technology, lest we lose control of civilisation.

• We should strive to build personal oracles, eager to share their knowledge with our species. Each of us deserves the personal presidential cabinet.
• We are all healthier and happier in the future where we build better systems to minimise the loss between expectation and reality in the long-term, so we must choose what is worth creating.
• The universe is young, and life on Earth is an outlier. What we build now may echo for a billion years.
