The Ones Who Went First

Artist-led social change and the practical reality of making touring work sustainably. What's possible, what's performative, and where the real impact sits.

The Final Pill

The singularity as a permission slip for inaction. Why the promise of future technology is being used to justify doing nothing about the crises we face right now.

The Company You Keep

Your corporate associations are ethical statements — trade body memberships, banking relationships, supply chain partnerships. Covering US environmental rollbacks, banking net-zero hypocrisy, and the global view.

Full Circle

Pre-industrial sustainability and the green transition as historical pattern. We've done this before — the question is whether we can do it fast enough this time.

The Fear of Change in an Evolutionary System

Why resistance to change is hardwired — and why the systems we've built amplify that resistance at exactly the moment we need to overcome it.

The Shield

Limited liability was designed to encourage investment. It's become a mechanism for avoiding accountability for environmental damage. An argument for structural reform — with endnotes.

Sharing is Caring

The competitive advantage of new technology versus the global need for rapid green transition. Why green tech must be de-commercialised and shared openly if we're serious about the timescale.

B Corp certification as competitive opportunity, not compliance burden. Why the businesses that move first will own the market position that latecomers can't buy.

The Old Guard Is Burning — Build What Lasts

Fossil fuel dependency, geopolitical energy history, and the case for transition. Why the countries that cling to the old model are building their own vulnerability.
