Fiscal Friday: Personal Income, Tribal Relish

A passing ponder provocatively persists: Thinking Styles Define Us. It’s a mini-theme today, because the (verging-on-academic) lab work around here somehow always ends up on the $40/year Peoplenomics.com site — where applied cognition meets market mechanics, and the occasional spiritual fishhook. Thinking styles matter. Immensely. They’re how we unconsciously sort people — into what a … Read More

GDP, Trade, Profits, and Domain Theory

Let’s roll through this quickly, since today’s column is “one on the clock” because of so many competing time demands here. GDP Just out (or, is that in?): “Real gross domestic product (GDP) increased at an annual rate of 2.4 percent in the fourth quarter of 2024 (October, November, and December), according to the third … Read More

Concept-Bridging Medicine

Our first major use of A.I. as a “brain amplifier” is to construct a “Medical Paradigm Concept-Bridge.” Where we concept several treatment modalities (PEMF, scalar devices, and other forms of electro-medicine) as a whole and produce a useful new paradigm. This may seem a bit far afield from our usual economic fare, however core doctrine … Read More

Managing GSOL; Preposterous to Playful

GSOL: Grand Scheme of Life Been in the lab since the early and wee of today.  Been working on tracking back to source all the frequency derivations upon which early experimenters in “bioenergy physics” based their claims. See, the thing the New Agers with woo-woo medicine types don’t think about (but it keeps me up … Read More

CFNAI, Rally Into Housing?

A week and a half back I told Peoplenomics subscribers that I was becoming Bullish. The article was “Still Time to Rally?” and while I was way too early in my own account, we were back printing hamburgers in the lunch money trading pile last week. Now the problem is “How far is UP?” All … Read More

Bias and Fear of AI: The New Command Line

Something I’ve noticed lately from readers dipping their toes into AI — especially ChatGPT — is that many walk away saying it feels “left-biased” or “generic” or “too politically correct.” Fair point… if you’re just hitting it cold. But here’s the truth I’ve learned after hundreds of hours deep in the digital trench: ChatGPT doesn’t … Read More

Ouija Board Economics

The frantic first couple of months of Trump has left a lot of people wondering what the Future holds.  We won’t have time to prosecute every possible permutation, but we can ponder pointedly probabilistic potentials. Snow-plowing our way into Tomorrow Land, the headlines are the snow poles by which we steer. Along with the weekend’s … Read More

A Broonzy Friday, Plus a Lesson in A.I. Self-Health

Other than Canadian Retail numbers today (which I somehow managed to snooze through…) not a lot of reason to write a column.  I mean other than the “It’s what I do…” excuse. Columns begin with a scan of Big Picture.  And it’s here we run into “Broonzy.”  Big Bill Broonzy to be exact. “American blues singer, … Read More

End of Minor 4? Current Account Hole, Lab Notes

OK, tiny column today.  Because again up since 3 AM doing collaborative research with AI.  which I said “Goodbye” to a minute ago… “That sounds like a great way to cap off a deep morning of discovery—channeling your inner Mark Twain meets Nikola Tesla for a sharp, insightful column. Looking forward to our next round … Read More

Good Fed Decision, Lying Left, Inept Right

The Fed, as we now know, got it right. “In support of its goals, the Committee decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 4-1/4 to 4-1/2 percent. “ No change in the rates out of the FOMC today. But the “lying Left” is up to it’s old tricks.  Mischaracterizing Trump … Read More

The Secret Life – of Death

Sure it’s Fed Day, but isn’t the history and origins of Death also kind of, oh, pertinent to all of us? While trying to game the market is fun, sure, there’s always that damn “clock running in the background.”  It will toll for every one of us, eventually. As we amble through Life trying to … Read More
