Between Altitudes
VII. Problems That Now Belong to Me
At this altitude, I recognise the problems that feel properly mine:
- How civilisations metabolise planetary intelligence at different speeds.
- How small and mid-sized states maintain coherence under stacked temporalities.
- How existential technologies reorder legitimacy, reproduction, learning, and survival.
- How to write a conceptual vocabulary adequate to the next hundred years, from Asia outward.
- How to name the future before it is claimed by the wrong metaphysics.
These are not Antikythera’s problems, nor China’s, nor Singapore’s.
They are simply where my trajectory has led.
