QUESTIONS THAT CROSS FIELDS

I’m an accountant by profession, so most of my working life is spent with rules, classifications, numbers, deadlines, and systems that are supposed to add up.

Apparently, I carry some of that habit into everything else too.

My essays usually begin with something small: a paper, a historical detail, a book, a piece of technology, a public argument, or a sentence I keep thinking about. From there, I tend to follow the references until the original question becomes broader than I expected.

That is how I end up moving between science, philosophy, technology, history, politics, psychology, and culture.

I use AI as part of the research process, mostly to search more widely, trace references, compare material, and organise what I find. It makes the rabbit holes deeper and easier to navigate.

I’m especially interested in the places where different subjects seem to touch: the history around a scientific idea, the assumptions built into a technology, older concepts that still appear in modern institutions, or arguments that look unrelated at first but turn out to have something in common.

Most of what I write is simply an attempt to follow those connections and see where they go.
