The thoughts that shape my writing
Fragments of history, reflections on memory, and glimpses of the human thread that runs through it all.
Big Ideas: The Human Condition
There’s a thread that runs quietly through human history — from the first person who wondered why we suffer to the modern scientist asking how we think. It’s the thread of reflection: curiosity turned inward. Philosophy began as a search for truth and virtue, but it soon became a way of exploring what it means to be human — to think, to feel, to choose, to believe.
The Future Never Arrives
We spend much of our lives waiting. Waiting for the right time, the next opportunity, the moment when life will finally begin. But here’s the hard truth: the future never arrives. When it comes, it isn’t the future anymore — it’s just today.
The Age of Collective Stupidity
I lived through the first dotcom bubble — a time when hype, “expert” predictions, and collective belief drove stock prices into the stratosphere. I sold some shares early and was told I was crazy… until the bubble burst and fortunes vanished overnight.
Looking back, I realised this wasn’t just market failure — it was collective stupidity on a global scale.
