I’m Sayed Hamid Fatimi, a software developer by craft, a philosopher by calling, and a lifelong student of truth. With roots in physics and a love for clean, expressive code, I build in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, and Next.js—tools that let ideas take shape in the digital world. Beyond the syntax and structure lies a deeper pursuit. I write to explore the foundations of thought, reason, and reality. My books, The Philosophy of Reason and The Philosophy of Truth, are part of an ongoing journey—an attempt to weave clarity from complexity, and meaning from mystery. This space is where code meets contemplation. You’re welcome to walk the path with me at valeon.blog.

EVs and the Air We Breathe: From Catalytic Converters to Clean Streets

EVs are often criticised for their manufacturing footprint, but this misses the crucial point: they have no tailpipes. In cities like London, where millions of ICE cars exhale poison daily, EVs clear the air we actually breathe. They shift emissions upstream to a few factories and power plants—sites that can be regulated and cleaned far more easily than millions of exhaust pipes. Like catalytic converters before them, EVs are not perfect, but they are a vital step in reclaiming breathable cities.

The Inheritance of Shadows: Epigenetics, Trauma, and the Choice of Renewal

Epigenetics shows that we inherit more than DNA—we carry the echoes of our ancestors’ trauma, hunger, and resilience written into our biology. These epigenetic marks, passed across two to three generations, shape health, weight, stress, and even how we respond to the world. Yet awareness gives us agency: by confronting what we carry, we can choose healing and create a legacy of renewal for those who come after us.

RideCompass: Finding the Cheapest Journey Across Platforms

Finding the cheapest ride in London isn’t as simple as picking one app. Prices fluctuate across Uber, Bolt, FreeNow, Smartzee—and even black cabs. Drawing from my time as a driver, I explore the idea of a “Ride Compass”: an app that scans all platforms, compares fares, and ensures passengers always get the best deal.

Land on the Ledger: Real-World Assets as NFTs

Ownership is more than paperwork. This proposal maps land titles to NFTs so the blockchain becomes the registry itself—legally recognized, programmable, and auditable—uniting code and courts for faster settlement, stronger proofs, and privacy-preserving compliance in the UK/EU.

The End of the Key Fob: Digital Access for a Smarter Age

A plastic fob once felt modern. Today, it is wasteful, clumsy, and obsolete. Digital passes stored in Apple or Google Wallets can make access smarter, safer, and more sustainable—from offices and hotels to Airbnb rentals and real estate management. The key fob solved a problem of the last century. The digital pass answers to this one.

The Distance Between Events

If time is not a river or a dimension but only the distance between events, what then becomes of us? Is a life measured by years, or by the density of change it contains? This essay traces the haunting question of time—not to answer it, but to wander through its puzzles: the minus sign in the line element, the ghost of dt, antimatter’s supposed reversal, and the possibility of a physics without clocks. Time appears less as something we move through and more as something we ourselves measure—a spacing of events that refuses ever to be final.

The Stain on the Shirt: Perception, Passivity, and the Weight of Goodness

Evil does not overwhelm the world, yet a single act of cruelty can feel larger than life—like a stain on a white shirt. Goodness is the quiet backdrop of daily life, but it gains meaning only when it resists. This essay explores the dichotomy of good and evil, the silence of the good, and the weight of responsibility that makes moral choice luminous.

The Necessity of Bear Markets: Creative Destruction and the Discipline of Cycles

Bear markets and recessions are not failures of the system but essential corrections that restore discipline, clear away excess, and redirect capital toward true innovation. While modern policy seeks to avoid downturns at all costs, history shows that renewal and long-term opportunity often emerge from collapse. From the dot-com bust to the COVID-19 recession, it is in the ashes of contraction that the seeds of future growth are sown.

Much Ado About Laundering

Wars are not only fought on battlefields but in balance sheets. From Lockheed Martin’s rising stock to British Gas’s soaring profits and offshore billions siphoned by corrupt aides, conflict becomes the perfect laundromat—where fear, scarcity, and blood are spun into profit. This essay exposes how war launders money, legitimacy, and power in plain sight.
