My writing ranges over so many fields that it doesn't fit into one or two conventional categories. But beneath the surface jumble it's always about 1) solutions, macro and personal/household 2) understanding the dynamics beneath the surface explanations 3) systems and selective pressure, all of which ultimately serve this purpose: taking control of and improving our own well-being and security.

Our era is one of vast wealth-power inequality, resource depletion and technological changes. All of these dynamics are changing the global order at every scale, which is why I focus on navigating global instability and degrowth via self-reliance, managing burnout and investing in yourself.

I’m not very chatty. I write two or three substantive posts a week in the journalistic style—easy to read, compact, entertaining. That’s all you’ll receive from me.
