Can we now model our life’s future with AI? Yes, seems so – we have just done it. When I wrote my recent book “Doctor Between Your Ears – Practicing Practical Longevity” – I didn’t have any way to validate all of our operating assumptions as we cobbled up an integrated approach to life extension. … Read More
I apologize for not approving comments Monday – I was simply so immersed in AI working on tomorrow’s Peoplenomics report, that I literally lost track of time. OK, so what’s so interesting? Well, there are two articles in the works. The first one – tomorrow – is titled “40 More Years from AI.” In it, I show … Read More
Although the Eggo’s won the Super Bowl, and it was incident-free for an attending president, Life will not veer too much of the projected path into the Future. For one, we are still facing a mountain of issues with the ever-compounding National Debt, and this is despite the best efforts of DOGE to track down … Read More
It was terribly busy around the homestead this week. So I don’t have a specific article (or pictures). No, the dog didn’t eat my homework. Just there were no pictures that really made sense. For example, I tossed my Skil 20V jigsaw in the trash barrel Friday. Went to use the damn thing and it wouldn’t … Read More
Has the Market called SB59’s outcome with the weak close Friday? And are there parallels between Trump ending runaway bureaucracy and the collapse of Chinese Civil Service at the end of the Qing Dynasty? We think the answers are Yes to both. But the details? Well, that’s what the 50-yard seats around here are all … Read More
We will be getting a lot of work done here this weekend: With most of America distracted by competing delusions. First is the hysteria over Elon Musk, who is trying to get a handle on “Where’s all the money been going?” The left (and slow-motion Marxist insurrection) is going absolutely crazy because the Deep State … Read More
Super short column this morning, as I have been hip-deep in (stuff) around here. Doctor appointment for usual blood draws – I may live a while longer, lol. Comments on safety of Zetia are welcome in Comments…. Job Cuts Markets had a good day Wednesday, but we are becoming concerned (with DeepSeek and all the foam … Read More
Our 20+ years of downsizing is certainly making sense as the world changes. When we moved “out to the woods” people had this ‘tude like “What kind of people run away and live in the woods?” Today, with the coming of a possible tariff war, inflation causing the Fed to walk-back its “more cuts” nonsense, … Read More
Fight, Flight, or Flow? Let’s turn back the clock to our discussion in ShopTalk Sunday. Everyone has their own “TQ” – tactility quotient. Which is “the Zone” in life where the amount of “head-work” is properly balanced by the amount of “hand-work” one does. It’s different for everybody; goes back to what humans were bred … Read More
If you’re a new reader, who has perchanced to stumble onto this website, please consider how far you want to read. Because our stock-in-trade here is eyeing the future and trying to assess where the world is going. The Global War, massive earthquakes, second pandemic, Oh! Let’s not leave out the Greater Depression. Like the … Read More
So, there’s this new book I am working on – the first part is due to hit Peoplenomics next week. It’s about how “People Are Products” and how we are each uniquely genetically coded to do certain things. As I was working in my shop, I was struck by the high level of tactility evidenced in … Read More
We will know (for sure) tomorrow. But one thing seems clear: our models of the financial future are poised for a major decline in the next week or two. Not that it will happen: No one knows the future. But money does call the tune, so should be amusing to see what the “bid is.” … Read More
Three “lead items” on the list today: Which we will cover in turn: Personal Income Hmm… Personal income increased $92.0 billion (0.4 percent at a monthly rate) in December, according to estimates released today by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis.
