Why subscribe?

I write from the middle of a live experiment in start-up societies, professional reinvention, Bitcoin network builders and niche tax advisory practice, moving between Network School life in Malaysia and professional life in Australia. This newsletter is where I log my ideas and updates - how I am thinking about challenges to humanity we need to build decentralised solutions for, what I am learning about Bitcoin and AI, trust infrastructure for an agentic economy, and growing networks.

Stay up-to-date

Subscribing means you see the story unfold in sequence instead of through random screenshots and event flyers. You will get:

• new essays on life in Network School and other startup societies

• updates on AI safety, governance, and technical capabilities

• notes on new approaches with Bitcoin, tax, accounting and public good tech

Everything goes straight to your inbox for you to read when you have headspace, not when an algorithm decides to show you something.

Participate in interesting projects

This list is for people who care about the same strange mix of things I do – art, the accounting profession, decentralised AI, Bitcoin ecosystems, on-chain governance and how we might live together better in the years ahead.

Please comment to challenge my ideas, ask questions, or offer help where you see a fit. If you choose a paid subscription later, that will help me keep doing the slow, careful unpaid research and experimentation work for Digital Playhouse Foundation and related projects, with fewer distractions.

If that sounds like your corner of the internet, you are very welcome here.
