The Age of Time is a book about civilization.
 How humans coordinate, create meaning, and carry it forward across generations. It explores consciousness and identity as consensus processes.
 How the mind assembles continuity, and how societies do the same at scale. It traces the rise of mechanical time as a solution to coordination.
 A system that allowed humanity to agree on sequence when we could no longer share place. It looks to architecture as memory. What past civilizations built, and what their creations reveal about how they thought in time. And it asks a deeper question:
What happens when our model of time changes? For centuries, time has shaped our perception of reality.
 We inherit it without question.
 But the system we use compresses experience into an ever-narrowing present. The signs are everywhere: we build for disposal, optimize for return, and treat time as an input cost.   Bitcoin introduces something different.
 A process that transforms perception through participation.
 A clock that does not accelerate.
 A system where order and value converge. It points toward a new civilizational relationship with time. www.theageoftime.com

I'm one month away from releasing my next book. Civilization can be viewed as an immense coordination problem across time. The mechanical clock was an innovation that enabled a standardization of agreement on sequence but the cost of that innovation was our base understanding of reality. Time is not what we’ve been told it is. Bitcoin fixes something much bigger than money. It is the foundation for a civilization that forms consensus differently. We are entering the age of time.

The daily commute is a mass humiliation ritual.

One of my favourite rabbit holes as a historian is the anomaly of lost architectural knowledge how. If the money is fake and almost nobody realizes it, what should that tell us about history?
