The camera is never neutral: recording power can puncture official lies and impose hidden costs. We’re going to look at the political economy of turning suffering into content, the uneven distribution of credibility, and what an ethics of witnessing looks like when we refuse to let awareness become spectacle.
Read MoreA woman climbs a staircase carrying a leaking hourglass, passing versions of the lives she refused to live. A short story that explores regret, choice, and the quiet grace of accepting a singular life in the face of all the selves one might have been.
Read MoreModern society confuses following procedures with actually doing what is right, turning ethics into box-ticking. Bureaucratic systems hide power, dull moral responsibility, and replace real human outcomes with the satisfaction of completing processes.
Read More"Ethical" marketing and storytelling often mask structural exploitation, turning consumption into a substitute for justice. But we need to shift from individualistic narratives of empowerment toward building real infrastructures of power.
Ignorance is not a simple lack of information, but a privilege actively produced by our society. Material comfort insulates us from the systemic injustices upon which our comfort is built.
Moments of crisis create the perfect cover for quietly reshaping the infrastructure of information and the most consequential deals are built in the fine print, far from the headlines.
Our tools are better than ever, but often the work feels harder. I want to talk about the daily cognitive strain of modern development, from the constant context switches to expectations that leave no room for deep work. Perhaps along the way we can find ideas for designing workflows and teams that protect our focus, use AI wisely, and treat human attention as our most critical infrastructure.
The comforting stories about “what it cost to become you” quietly turn personal biographies into moral invoices that justify high salaries. Along the way, we’ll explore a twist on socially necessary labour time to separate genuine needs from the class entry fees we pretend are necessities.
The popular myth of meritocracy in Australia is an ideological tool used to justify systemic inequality. Let's explore how education, work, and wealth are shaped not by a "fair go," but by underlying class structures that perpetuate privilege.
We're going to revisit ten guiding rules I wrote four years ago and see what still holds up when they're tested against real life, neurodivergence, discipline, and doubt.
Through seven distinct and innovative titles, we'll explore the core principles of exceptional game design, analysing how each game blends mechanics, narrative, art, and music to create unforgettable experiences.
The figure of the “witch” is a political target whose real-world knowledge threatened the powerful. Women healers, midwives, and keepers of folk medicine have been systematically branded for over half a millennium as heretics in a war over knowledge, bodily autonomy, and control.
Using the strange case of an Australian Halloween as a central analogy, let's look at how global capitalism flattens time and place, severing our rituals from their history and ecological context to sell them back to us as hollow commodities.
When Axon interviews Lyra, he’s forced to confront the limits of his own worldview. The act of documentation becomes a mirror, reflecting more of himself than of her.
My writing explores a spectrum of ideas, from sociological fulfillment to urban fantasy politics. Rather than following a set formula, my creative process is akin to a dialogue with authors whose works I enjoy, using thematic parallels to their works to frame my own character-driven, philosophical narratives.
