Reimagining electrical power supplies
Can we reimagine the way electrical power is supplied, managed and delivered? At present the world at large is dealing with multiple challenges across various scales, geographies, and scenarios. At times it feels like we are struggling to navigate the 2020’s, battling the decisions made over the last twenty years and unsure of how we should take the next step towards the future. Unable to move past 2010's. If I zone in on my local context currently as I sit in South Africa, we have an im...

Asking better questions
As we build. How might we ask better questions? Ones that pay closer attention to our spatial context? Allowing us to think in stories. Creating shared narratives that are attune to our environments, not separated from them. Giving ourselves time to reflect. Recognising the influence that our decisions may have on the future.Practicing an appreciation of time. Seeking to avoid errors that have been made before during periods of transition. Through asking better questions we can become better ...

Crafting puzzle pieces
I have a deep curiosity for understanding how things work. The search for answers has led to me engage/refine/improve my intuition through asking questions and listening to the feedback. In 2021 I had started a space on the internet to house my thinking around reverse mentorship and cross generational learning. I created Substack to support my medium writing, called The Reverse Mentor. The name was linked to a podcast that I had started with the same name. As my writing has evolved I have rea...

Capturing the imagination of generations that have gone before us
This is being written in the early morning while I await for my connecting flight from Dubai to South Africa. Currently in transit on my way back from spending some time in Amsterdam and Spain over the last month. Travel shifts one’s perspective — it gets you to listen in different ways, gaining inspiration from sights and sounds. As the plane made its approach into Dubai we were granted a view of the city. As the pilot turned the plane to line up with the runway our reference points on the h...

Exploring uncorrelated thinking
Uncorrelated thinking? Is that a typo or are my eyes just a bit tired which means that I am muddling some of the words up. It’s not a typo but rather an intentional brain teaser. When we are taught selected subjects in our schooling we are asked to look for the correlation between things. This makes then relational and means that they can then be weaved together to form a structure of a narrative. So, how is it then that we can teach ourselves to think in uncorrelated ways? I will try to use ...
