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.
How many trees make a forest? This essay explores the blurred lines between subjectivity and objectivity, the relativity of perception, and the thresholds created by language. From forests to fairness, poverty to truth, we uncover how meaning emerges not in absolutes, but in the gradients and relationships that shape our shared reality.
Prices can change in seconds, but consequences can take decades to arrive. The secondary market effect and arbitrage reveal why — and how short-term gains often mask long-term costs. From high-frequency trading to global politics, understanding these concepts helps us see beyond the present into the slow, unfolding arc of cause and consequence.

Africa is not the next frontier — it’s the current one. As global power shifts and traditional markets plateau, the key to generational wealth lies in Africa’s untapped potential. From logistics and agriculture to mineral extraction and industrial production, the continent is poised to become the core of a new global economy.
There is a vast and often invisible canyon between the ethical ideals we claim to uphold and the lived reality of power, law, and social order. This post explores how our morals, ethics, and legal systems are not eternal truths, but manmade constructions—malleable, political, and often weaponized. To live ethically in a world built on contradictions requires more than belief; it demands confrontation, courage, and the refusal to look away.
For decades, homeownership has been sold as the ultimate symbol of success — but behind the glossy promises, today’s housing market reveals a harsher truth. As prices soar and wages stagnate, the last wave of buyers is being lured into a cycle where risk is quietly handed down from early winners.
