Very thought-provoking piece on navigating the system challenges we face in 2026 and approaching modern life with a different perspective to that we we may have grown up with - well worth a read
Really interesting read Doug, thanks so much for sharing this - has made me reconsider my mental modes. Great to read thoughts on navigating the challenges of 2026 and not just analysis of the problems
I was lucky enough to see him do a talk to students at an FE college where I used to work many years ago - truly inspirational, he captured British culture through his lens in a unique and sometimes uncomfortable way. An exceptional artist.
