Musing on Myth

Power is subtle. It rarely shows up in the way we expect.

It’s not just wealth. It’s not just access. Real power is about story — who gets to tell it, and who is written out of it.

In finance, power sits with the rule-makers. And the rules almost never get rewritten by those who are affected most by them. That’s why so much of what I do is thinking about how do we rebuild the foundation, not just making cosmetic improvements.

When I sit with people across the world, I’m always fascinated by the unspoken signals — the social language beneath the business or financial one.

And what I’ve come to see is that power, when divorced from empathy, collapses. It may take a decade or a generation, but eventually the system resets.

That’s why there is this huge need that I’m trying to navigate in building not just infrastructure, but what I sometimes call ethical architecture. Not in a soft way — I’m not romantic about it. But in the sense that it has to last and make change to people’s lives.

If we build a new financial system that doesn’t understand the people it’s meant to serve, we’re just repeating the old mistake.

Real power is quiet. It doesn’t need spectacle. It needs structure, clarity, and integrity.

The writing on this website forms a small part of my wider journey — a lifelong fascination with understanding and exploring how culture, technology, and consciousness shape the world we live in, and a search for evidence that far more connects us than separates us.

Through my work at Tintra Group and The Tintra Foundation, incredible teams are turning that exploration into practice — reimagining finance and development for a multipolar world.
