Why Web3 Requires Complete Decentralisation
Or…why almost every mention of Web3 is missing the point. Here's an article I wrote for Hackernoon: https://hackernoon.com/why-web3-requires-complete-decentralisation
In Pursuit Of Human Freedom
“For to be free is not merely to cast off one’s chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” - Nelson Mandela In the mid to late '80s the first versions of 'online chat rooms' were primitive. In the Well discussions moved slowly, but there was a sense [...]
The Army Of Fanatics
I remember when my son excitedly told me he had created an army and was desperate to show me. I duly followed him into the lounge and saw his assembled army, split into two groups – one group on the higher level, apparently made up of the ‘king’ and helpers, and the other group as [...]
The Ultimate Transformation
We avoid looking at bills because we're worried about seeing how far behind we are on their payments. We don't stand on weight scales or look in mirrors if we feel we've gained weight. We turn off the news when the headlines make us upset. We avoid getting an important medical test done, fearing bad [...]

The first is about how tourists might travel with VR, and developers use it in the planning process, seeing VR as a logical progression [...]
Understanding The Fintech Paradox
Using discreet tactics that presumably wouldn’t be out-of-place in a Bond film, the editors of the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) have a perpetual “watch-list” of words that are continually assessed for potential inclusion in the hallowed pages of the OED. Once a word is eventually included, it becomes part of that generation’s authentic lexicon - [...]
Unlocking Commercial Advantage At Scale
Walking into the offices at the Ministry Of Sound in London was mind-blowing. The design and layout were super cool and the people wandering around inside were equally cool too. I was there because I'd been invited to come and speak with the founder and Chairman, and I didn't know quite what to expect. I'd [...]
