Each week I distill the content from a different book, reinterpreting its ideas and themes to more universal patterns found in science, complexity and life.

  • The Libertarian Mind by David Boaz
    Feb 11 2026

    In this episode I discuss the core ideas from *The Libertarian Mind* by David Boaz, exploring how decentralized decision-making, incentives, and voluntary exchange shape social order. I also introduce a “third way” perspective, to help us step back and think of the "market vs top-down-control" debate more objectively, and structurally. This allows us to consider how societies can improve by strengthening feedback, learning, and adaptive complexity rather than forcing outcomes through centralized control.

  • Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
    Jan 25 2026

    In this episode I discuss why C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity remains one of the strongest arguments for the objectivity of morality. Starting from everyday experiences like arguments, excuses, and guilt, I explain how moral reasoning behaves like a real structure that survives cultural, psychological, and evolutionary explanations. This is not a religious pitch, but a structural analysis of why morality refuses to disappear, and what that tells us about how humans reason about right and wrong.

  • Apple in China by Patrick McGee
    Jan 5 2026

    In this episode, I break down Apple and China: The Capture of the World’s Greatest Company by Patrick McGee and explore how minimalist products like the iPhone are made possible by displaced complexity upstream; specifically China’s ability to mobilize labor at extreme speed and scale.

    I look at how elegance, efficiency, and seamless design often hide massive human systems, political infrastructure, and ethical trade-offs that make those products possible in the first place. The real question isn’t whether Apple designs beautiful products; it’s who pays for the smoothness.
