Compound Interests

Welcome to Compound Interests! This website started off as a personal project — I'd written for many different newspapers and blogs over the years, and just wanted to collect all of my writing in one place that I owned, safe from being deleted when a website shut down or changed ownership. While creating this personal archive, I remembered how much I loved to research and write, and decided that this would be a great space for me to publish new work too.

Compound Interests is my blog dedicated to the exploration of humanity, especially how we interact with each other and the world around us — from politics and culture to business and technology. While “compound interest” is a term in finance, I often experience a similar phenomenon when learning about a new topic: a single fact or anecdote sparks my curiosity, I research it and learn new things that intersect with my other interests, leading to even more curiosity and research. I hope to use Compound Interests to share what I learn with others, mainly in the form of blog posts but maybe some other types of content too.
