I’m Nathan—though most call me Nath.
I was born in Sydney and grew up between the bushland of the Blue Mountains and the digital architecture of the IT world. I’ve travelled through Japan, Europe, and my own mind, and let me tell you, the latter is by far the wildest.
Why I Do This
For most of my life, I knew I thought differently. What I didn’t know was why.
At 32, I was diagnosed with ADHD. At 42, autism. By then, I’d already built a three-decade career in IT, designed systems, coached teams, and endured systems that weren’t designed for people like me.
I’ve experienced sleep paralysis, trauma, family court battles, dysregulation, spiritual highs, and bureaucratic lows.
I’ve sought help, found none, and decided to become the help.
What Is Conquests of the Impossible?
It’s not a memoir, though it’s personal.
It’s not self-help, though it will help.
It’s not a manifesto, though there’s fire in it.
It’s a field guide for those navigating a world that doesn’t make sense, and suspect it was never meant to.
The book is structured around five elemental “books”:
- Air – Growth, neuroplasticity, breathing space
- Fire – Conflict, ideology, righteous anger
- Water – Emotion, empathy, neurodivergence
- Earth – Spirituality, groundedness, peace
- Void – Chaos, change, and second-order clarity
What I’ve Developed
My work introduces new philosophical frameworks for understanding society, trauma, and thought—including:
- SARD – Supportive Accountability Rejection Dysphoria, a neurodivergent emotional response to being rejected when offering help.
- The Ideology Paradox – When causes become corrupted by the way they’re pursued.
- The Intelligentsia Mirage – The illusion of moral authority through intellectual performance.
- Weaponised Intersectionality, Performative Ideological Alignment, and the concept of Cognitive Equity are also central.
Together, these make up what may eventually be called Organian Philosophy, a stripped-back, agency-first way of seeing and shaping reality.
Why It Matters
I write for people like me:
Those who are smart enough to spot the lies, brave enough to call them out, and tired enough to want something better.
Conquests of the Impossible is for the system-challengers, the edge-walkers, the neurodivergent and the disillusioned.
You won’t agree with everything I say—and that’s kind of the point.
