This one is huge. Even by Peoplenomics standards, today’s report is a monster. We start with a 20-page math-heavy market paper, then dive into a 38-page ChartPack on 1929/2026 echoes, state-variance extremes, and why shorting is starting to look better. But the chef’s kiss is the 26-page Focus section: Electroculture: From Soil Charge to Human … Read More
Welcome to the speed-reading edition of The Daily War-Monger. In the opening article, we wonder whether “Pistol Pete” – is ready to turn his HR weapons on Spain as Pentagon email weighs measures against NATO allies over Iran war, including suspending Spain. Why, I can hear it now, “Spain! You’re FIRED!” Bet me? Always ready to … Read More
I spent the better part of an hour this morning in deep debate. “Is this a “waffle weave” or an “awful weave” my country is doing right now?” Some days (suspiciously like this one) have nothing but loose ends, posturing, headline-attention getters, and refried BS served like it’s a steak. But does it all matter? … Read More

From shifting tensions in the Strait of Hormuz to the quiet moves happening beneath … Read More
I know: this will seem like going out on a limb. This parallel between how things operate in Hilbert Space draws a straight line to how “news” operates. What it is, Homey Hilbert space is basically math’s way of describing an insanely vast, abstract “room” that can have not just the usual three dimensions like … Read More
Out here – at the cheaply cobbled Earthship in the woods – there is a keen appreciation of ikigai on Monday mornings like this. Not familiar? “Ikigai is an Okinawan, and broadly Japanese, concept translating to “a reason for being” or “the reason you wake up in the morning”. It represents a personal purpose that brings joy, … Read More
I’m slowly becoming aware that the whole of my life – this go-round on The Rock – has not been about how much money I can make. It’s really about “How well can you balance your Life?” Throw in a decent IQ, serious work ethic that never quits, and an easily distracted (ADHD) mind and the … Read More
Something’s Off in the Markets… and It’s Not in the Headlines Other than the Strait of Hormuz drama flaring again, markets are acting like nothing’s wrong. That alone should get your attention. In today’s Peoplenomics, we dig into a setup where price action and underlying risk are no longer telling the same story. The charts … Read More
What are all these people doing here? In the Big Casino of Life, anyway? It’s an odd perspective to launch from, but increasingly, the facts look odd, too, so why not? New Games in the Markets Over at the OHLC Machine: That’s the digital-ready version of the “Open, High, Low, Close” that Japanese candlestick traders … Read More
