How a Triangle Changed Everything

The world seems chaotic: noise without rhythm, movement without meaning. Pythagoras saw otherwise. He found pattern and proportion — everything as number: harmony hidden in motion, maths beneath music, patterns behind every note, shape and star.

The world once seemed senseless: storms, plagues, misfortune blamed on angry gods. Thales proposed a different idea — the universe governed by observable forces, not moods.

We Are the Future-Shocked

In 1972, as I went to university for economics and social psychology, I read Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock. Its warning that accelerating technological, social and psychological change would overwhelm people and societies — “too much change in too short a time” — stayed with me.
