Beliefs (in flux)

I believe Africa doesn't need charity or copied playbooks. It needs original research institutions producing technology designed for African constraints from the start.

I believe money is infrastructure for intention. I don't want it for comfort. I want it because the systems I need to change are controlled by people with resources I don't have.

I believe the most dangerous outcome isn't failure. It's building something that gets captured by the systems I started out fighting. I've watched it happen to others. The incentives pull hard.

I believe in God. Not as abstraction but as reality. This shapes how I think about integrity, success, and what I'm building for.

I believe patterns are more real than the things that contain them. The structure underneath is what matters.

I believe most people learn facts, then maybe see patterns. I learn patterns first, then fill in facts. This is why I move across domains: physics, design, blockchain, film. I'm collecting transferable structures.

I believe the future is not evenly distributed, and the places that get left behind are left behind by design, not accident.

I believe the visible world is downstream of invisible architecture: financial, political, spiritual. I study that architecture.

I believe you should tell people what you actually think, even when it's unfinished. So here it is.

These beliefs are in flux. I'm 22.
