Life Center

A publication about markets and technology can give the impression that the point of life is throughput. It is not, and the parts of a person that hold their value in an automated economy are mostly built away from a screen.

The Life Center is the section of Live Trading News for those parts: food and what is actually in it, growing things, travel and the places worth the journey, sport, and the ordinary pursuits that fill the well the work draws from. Written from Bangkok and Southeast Asia more often than not, with the bias that implies.

There is a practical argument underneath the enjoyment. Lived judgement, emotional calibration and original perspective are formed in the presence of other people and real places, and they are exactly the capacities that machine intelligence cannot supply. Time spent here is maintenance of the asset, not a distraction from it.

Every article in this center is cryptographically signed at publication and anchored to an independent ledger, the same standard applied to the market coverage.
