Because thinking about the world is fun…
- Of toilets and rubbish (mostly)
France, a land of great scenery, architecture, baking, and terrible toilets. Why does New Zealand think toilets and rubbish bins are essential to support tourism when France is full of tourists and deplete of public toilets? - Built beauty
Why do we think some buildings are particularly beautiful? And why do we think old buildings are beautiful? Especially given how uncomfortable many would be to live in? - Blind Leadership
Banksy’s new statue could be called ‘The Politician’, or could be called ‘Blinded by the cause’. Whatever the name, its an excellent ephemeral public sculpture. - Leadership styles
There are many ways to lead and no one style is likely to suit all the people being led. - Making Decisions
Life’s a series of decisions, influenced by other people’s decisions. Trump’s desire to sit on both sides of the fence at once have left the world, and us, wondering what to do next.

The way you connect different topics like oil prices and government policies really made me think about how these interconnected forces shape the way we live. It’s easy to forget that even the smallest decision, like a font change in diplomatic documents, can have larger consequences.
