After growing up in rural Norfolk, UK, I moved to Brighton to study Intellectual and Cultural History at Sussex University, along with a number of philosophy and cognitive science electives. I have been an avid reader since I was a very young age, and well versed in a wide range of subjects across both the hard and soft sciences. I returned to Norfolk having lived briefly in Bangalore, India, and will soon be moving to the U.S to join my family in Iowa.

 

Inspired by the application of cognitive science to the modelling of history, I've spent the last ten years analysing culture through the lens of complexity theory, with the goal of creating a framework to model the universal features of evolution across emergent scales. I am a highly independent - to the extent of eschewing any form of institutionalisation - and largely self-taught complexity philosopher with a keen passion for politics, social identity, and issues of morality and social justice. I have previously worked as an associate consultant for the London-based complexity think tank Synthesis.
