It’s about time.

Bitcoin Ireland Conference is two weeks away and I have 2 tickets up for grabs. Comment or share to be entered to win. Winner also gets a signed copy of The Age of Time. Going to be a high signal event in a beautiful part of the world ☘️

Number 1 release in Physics of Time. There is a massive pile of orange pills waiting for the audience with a general interest in time. 🕰️💊😁

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

Got my proof copy today. Been a long journey. AoT is a bitcoin book but the ideas that inspired it started 25 years ago reading Gödel Escher Bach in grad school. I’m thrilled to share them now, launch day is tomorrow. theageoftime.com

Bitcoin fixes a problem much deeper than broken money. The Age of Time releases 04.23.26 www.theageoftime.com

The stuff we build is a reflection of how we think about time. www.theageoftime.com

The Age of Time releases April 23. www.theageoftime.com

Money is not the bottom of the rabbit hole.

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.

Before we built machines that measured time, we lived inside time itself.

Civilization is a shared agreement about sequence.

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?
