The Long Form: Essays & Explorations
Ideas take time to unfold. They demand space to breathe, evolve, and connect in ways that short-form content simply can’t accommodate.
This page is a collection of the deep dives, narrative essays, and thought experiments I’ve written as part of The Connected Ideas Project (TCIP) - a platform dedicated to exploring the co-evolution of technology, policy, and humanity.
Each essay is a thread in a larger tapestry, an attempt to bridge the gap between where we are and where we’re heading. You’ll find perspectives that move across disciplines - biotech, AI, and deep tech along with public policy, speculative futures, and more - because no idea exists in isolation. The world is a network of interconnected forces, and understanding that requires long-form thinking.
Explore the Essays:
📖 Shock Doctrine in the Life Sciences → How worst-case thinking in biotech fuels panic-driven policies that stifle innovation and delay breakthroughs, and how we break free of it.
📖 Science Fiction as a Policy Medium → How imaginative storytelling in science fiction illuminates future possibilities and pitfalls, shaping policy decisions and sparking innovative solutions, and how we harness that power to guide real-world progress.
📖 NatSec Biotech: How Biotechnology is Reshaping Global Power → How industrial biology is becoming the backbone of global strategy, from food and energy to materials and manufacturing, and how nations that master DNA like they mastered silicon will command the next era of economic and geopolitical power.
📖 Weaving the Future: How AI, Biotech, and Robotics are Redefining Humanity → How the convergence of Fusion, AI, Biotechnology, Robotics, and Innovative Computing - FABRIC technologies - is reshaping what it means to be human, as machines learn, life becomes editable, and computation breaks the bounds of silicon, stitching together a future of abundance, transformation, and profound ethical reckoning.
📖 Future Pieces → More on the horizon very soon…
These are not just articles - they are invitations to think deeply, challenge assumptions, and engage in the kind of discourse that shapes the future.
