I'm interested in how we react when we're heavily pressed. When we're vulnerable and our survival is in question, how do we behave?
I'm really interested in how conflicts arise and how they reach points of no return. I'm no pacifist. Sometimes force is necessary. But war is a choice.
I'm particularly interested in black swan events: unprecedented surprises that destroy the conventional wisdom about how the world works.
I was interested in political failure here in the U.S. The way we're failing to work together to solve even our smallest problems, let alone the complex ones.
I am interested in agricultural corporations and how they function. The idea that they own the genetics of our food supply is a really compelling thing to me.
