The Purpose of Sleep: Repair, Renewal, and the Nightly Choreography of the Body

Sleep isn’t passive—it’s nightly maintenance. Slow-wave and REM rebuild muscle and connective tissue, balance hormones, and flush daytime metabolic waste via the glymphatic system to restore neurotransmission. The payoff: sharper cognition, steadier mood, healthier metabolism, heart, and immunity.

The Skyborne Fortress: NuScale SMRs and the Future of Airborne Carriers

NuScale’s small modular reactors promise more than clean, modular power on the ground—they hint at a future of airborne carriers the size of stadiums, loitering in the skies for months at a time. This post explores how SMR technology could unshackle endurance, transforming not only energy but the architecture of power itself.

Investing vs. Trading: Two Paths Through the Market

Investing and trading aren’t opposites so much as different relationships to time. This guide clarifies frames—from scalping to position trading—and argues that most edge is born in ranges, not headlines. Choose your horizon, respect its rules, and let discipline—not drift—set your course.

A Small Edge, Carefully Kept — and How It Connects to “Trading Big Bags”

Back when BitMEX paid maker rebates, I turned ~$30 into ~$2,000 by posting passive liquidity and guarding inventory. This post breaks down the rebate math, spread capture, and kill-switches—and shows how that small-edge discipline connects to “Trading Big Bags,” where structure, not bravado, determines survival.

Trading Big Bags: Liquidity, Leverage, and the Architecture of Risk

Capital size should dictate strategy. What works for a $1,000 trader becomes reckless at $10M. The recent $17M loss on Hyperliquid shows how fragile structures — high leverage, linear contracts, and concentration — turn conviction into catastrophe. This essay breaks down why efficiency, not ego, defines survivability, and how inverse contracts, venue distribution, and leverage discipline transform outcomes.

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.
