Today on Peoplenomics we pick up Part 2 of Timenamics, beginning with Chapter 13, where the book moves from theory into practical operating rules for recovering time, defending attention, and making better life decisions. Part 1 laid out the core idea: money is stored time, attention is directed life, and every choice has a True … Read More

OK, the first thing to get out of the way is Amazon Prime Day is on today.  The usual landing page for readers is here.  The reason I like Prime Days is because living in the Outback of East Texas, as we do, this is a chance to save a good amount on a few major … Read More

If you are confused, here is Life in a paragraph:  We begin life as World Observers and “live” shooting our own “game film.”  Then we die and play back the whole thing.  Called judgment day in some religions or the Life Review in science.  [Notes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.] Now, as an aware “lifematographer” … Read More

“Work expands to fill the time available” has been getting another ranch-sized proof around here this weekend. Next weekend, ham radio bugs (and keyers – that’s a joke, get it?) head out into the wilds for the ARRL;s Field Day 2026.  Contest Rules here, said old George, AC7X, electron boss extraordinaire. “With so many hams … Read More

In today’s Peoplenomics, we take the idea of AI “training states” out of the computer lab and apply it to human beings. Why do intelligent people examine the same evidence and reach completely different conclusions? Because every mind carries its own training stack: family, history, fear, incentives, ideology and survival lessons. Then we apply that … Read More

Maybe some better reporting will come out this weekend (talking heads, news-bobbers) but so far my impression is the media is soft-pedaling the real news of the week – economics is getting a hotfix, temporary patch, and a whole new software spin in the next year.  Which, as we’ve told you before, is a very … Read More

Early premarket futures were showing a DCB – dead cat bounce due at today’s opening. As much as we would love to be (Eric Hoffer style) true believers, that just ain’t in the cards today, kiddies.  Did I miss my meds? No.  But let me count the ways things can blow-up. We are into a three-day weekend … Read More

“The Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3-1/2 to 3-3/4 percent, in support of the Federal Reserve’s dual mandate. The Committee reaffirmed its policy of maintaining ample reserves in the banking system.” We are looking for the real dancing to begin in a half hour with Warsh’s first … Read More

Peoplenomics is not simply another collection of headlines. The value is in connecting markets, economics, technology, preparedness and real-life decisions—then separating what matters from the daily noise. Subscribers receive the deeper Wednesday analysis, the Saturday follow-up, chart work, book previews and practical research that never appears on the public site. The annual subscription remains just … Read More

If you are old enough to remember the 1950s Mickey Mouse Club (on black and white TV): “Today is Tuesday, you know what that means…”  Guest Star Day!  Let’s meet today’s guest, shall we? No question in our mind what’s really going on.  Gavin Newsom – the California governator with presidential aspirations is going “Elvis Costello” … Read More

Sure, we will get to “the financials” in a moment, but I think the bigger story is a lot more complicated from the systems perspective than a few hit-and-run headlines. The Oasis Problem I have no idea how far you “domain walk” potential futures, but such lines of inquiry are especially useful on days when “Peace … Read More

Two weeks plus one day from now, do you know what happens? Mercury Retrograde! Here is why this is important, so follow along: When you are young, still think you are immortal and untouchable, you hear stories about “Mercury in retrograde” and you think: “Aw, that’s a load of horseshit.” Middle age is when your mind … Read More
