This is my friend Paul with an oil painting he did of my father. The inspiration for the painting was a photograph that was taken by my nephew during lockdown in Wales in April 2020 on my father’s birthday. He was 90.

I try to explain how complex systems fail, and suggest some of the failure paths we could be on.
