We are taught to treat quantum mechanics as intrinsically strange, opaque, almost hostile to intuition. The standard story is that reality itself is bizarre, and that only extreme mathematical sophistication grants partial access to it. Yet this framing quietly ignores another possibility: that many workable intuitions, partial models, and genuinely useful ways of thinking never […]
Evil did not arrive with a plan. It arrived pre-installed, the natural orientation of relationally networked complexity at scale, settling into low-energy states and the familiar attractors of corruption, populism, and conflict. There are puppet-masters and greedy, demonic characters involved, certainly, but even they are mostly riding that prebuilt wave. They do not invent the […]
It is possible to speak about what is often labelled fascism without centring moral judgement, and instead treat it as a systemic configuration whose failure follows from structural incompatibility rather than ethical evaluation. Moral objections may be justified, but they are not what makes this form unsustainable. The failure arises from how such a configuration […]
Applying field logic to the global socio-economy means treating politics not as the source of direction but as a surface articulation of deeper structural dynamics. By field logic, I mean understanding social, economic, and technological systems as continuous relational environments that shape what can stabilise, propagate, or decay before intention, belief, or ideology come into […]
An observation from Complex Systems Science: Regardless of those (internal or external) who might be seeking to generate more friction and to extract political or ideological value from it, the contemporary extremity of partisan adversarialism and dissonant turbulence that characterises the US political system has the characteristics of a dissipative system – that is, a […]
We are still collectively attempting to build economic perpetual-motion engines of constant growth when the tools for building resilient emergent complexities into a potentially organic financial ecosystem already exist within our shared scientific and technical, conceptual vocabularies…
