Take the Day Off – Snoozer of a Monday – Busy on the Keys

by

“Takes paper to make paper” is the first calendar entry this week.  A bunch of Treasury this-n-that’s (buy-backs and such) start the week.

After fondling $124,000 last week, Bitcoin is “viagra-seeking” from the $115,000 range early. Gold and silver firmed earlier, but nothing to get excited about.

REAL Action this week will be the Fed summer confab at Jackson Hole.  The capper will be the Jerome Powell speech Friday as the wrap-up.  While hopeless optimists are still nattering-on about rate cuts, as in Rate cut watch: All eyes on Fed Chair Powell’s final Jackson Hole speech, dedicated tea leaf readers will slobber all over the Fed Minutes Wednesday.  Should we mention that the minutes will be a month-old rear view?  I suppose not.

Housing start data tomorrow doesn’t feel like a SpaceX project:  You can’t have aggressive ICE enforcement and have a frothy real estate picture.  It’s a population-driven metric. So unless the dems can line up “do-docs” for homeless, housing will be a solid industry, but not like Nvidia and the Ai go-go’s.

But as we have lectured here for more than a quarter century: “The thing about common sense is that it isn’t.”

We Weren’t Invited –  “news.obj’s”

Neither were you.  Trump to host Zelenskyy, Europeans at White House today for talks on Ukraine war.

You’re welcome to go read thousands of articles on point, but one of the Big Secrets in my upcoming book (Domain Work) is that you don’t need to be a Deep Study to understand complexity.  You need to simply generalize and group.  And, when you have that nailed, then you can elevate your news reading from data-point oriented to object-oriented.

In other words, Ukraine is a “news object.”  Only a couple of aspects or attributes of the object change on a daily basis.  Most are captured in simple headlines.  For instance:

See it? Trump says No to Ukraine getting Crimea and No NATO membership.  Second is Putin’s OK with security guarantees for Ukraine as long as it’s not NATO.

So for the rest of the day, the Ukraine news.obj has two modified attributes which Trump will try to sell in order to settle this Obama-Biden cockup shoved through by neocons. How Obama, Biden, And The EU Started The Ukraine War – Armed Forces Press.

More on news.obj‘s in a sec. For now, the J-school version would be “Instead of getting lost in 50 articles, you treat each story as an object with attributes that shift a little each day.”  Leaves more time for beer-drinking and that’s important at this time of the year.

Yes – but that doesn’t matter: California Voters Don’t Like the Newsom-Democrat Redistricting Plan.  In California, the government doesn’t so much work for the people – it’s all about the Party! (Maybe them being closer to Beijing means something, you think?)

Around the Ranch: Math, Domain work, Bad Pot Roast

I spent 11 hours Sunday grinding on the new book. Turns out, learning to “operate as a domain walker” really does unlock some hidden human horsepower.

By day’s end, I had cranked out a credible academic math paper:

  • Decomposition of Multiple Cycle Drivers in Financial Time Series: Evidence from Aggregate Index Data, 1999–2025. Even AI had to tip its hat. Running the Shiller S&P dataset back to 1871, my new method beat out traditional econometric tools like ARIMA. In plain terms? The Ure/GPT “Minimal Decomposition” pulled trend, projected slope, and cleaned up the noise better than old guard econometric tools like ARIMA and Kalman and….

But Sunday wasn’t just math. My domain work also opened up what I can only call a hidden dimension of thought: a “visual-object” domain. It’s where you don’t calculate so much as see relationships and move objects around mentally — and suddenly complexity stops looking complicated. You’ll see more on that in Peoplenomics this week.

I propose that this missing domain may provide the scaffolding for breakthroughs in economics, science, and social systems, just as the adoption of mathematics once transformed natural philosophy into modern science. In the same manner object-oriented computing opened new frontiers in code, object-oriented THINKING (as in the news.obj example above) is a world-changer.

Then came the big lift: a 7,000-word chapter for the new book called Co-Dreaming and Co-Dying. Western culture treats death as a solo act. But is that required? If soulmates can co-dream — extending their time together eight more hours a day — could they also “hook up” in The Big Sleep?

By the time I shut down the keyboard, I was equal parts drained and in awe — staring into The Presence, the two Realms (waking/shared and non-local), and the strange but real domains of thought we get to play in here in wakingville.

Other than that? My Sunday pot roast wasn’t very good. And a quick zip into town to exchange a prescription – the wrong one was in the bag when I did a pick-up Friday.

So goes the noise floor of the world, eh?

      my daughter rented a place..I sat on the toilet…The height of a normal toilet is fifteen inches a wheelchair acceptable toilet is seventeen inches.m the one in her apartment was ten inches.. I plopped my but down ..dam was that a good relief.. but then … I had to get up off of it.. I ended up falling to the side off of it and then standing lol lol lol great reason to have hand bars lol lol.. so the squad th potty is a great thing..

      • When I had my hip joint replaced, it was prohibited to fold my leg up past 90 degrees. So I had to install a toilet seat riser to ease things getting up, and prevent too much ‘kink’ in the hip joint. I’ve gotten quite used to it for the ‘5am download’ and it works well for me. I am aware of the ‘squatty potty’ position and it worked well when one can squat that far. Unfortunately my new titanium joint is not supposed to fold that far.

        • So you can no longer travel east of 90 degrees>? Your hip cost you access to
          New Orleans, Louisiana
          Memphis, Tennessee
          Jackson, Mississippi (specifically, the suburb of Brandon)

        • Thanks for the info Hank. I have left knee replacement surgery scheduled for this Friday and hopefully have everything in place for my return home. Elevated toilet seat, walker, cane, icing machine and lots of pain medication. I have had 3 weeks of physio to get ready and a lot more after a week when I get home.

          Always appreciate input from group members here that have gone through this on what to expect….other than pain of course!

        • Why in the name of liberal decency would I want to travel that far ‘back East’?? Good grief! I live in Hawaii. It just doesn’t get any better.

        • BIC I have heard that knee replacements are particularly tough for pain and rehab. Brother in law swore his knee would never bend again, but he kept at it. Now he’s hiking the fields, taking care of his farm. Like Elaine says… “Do your PT”. Best wishes to you.

  6. A shout out to A.G.Kimbrough. You said in the comments that no one bought your books so I went to Amazon and bought two. I spent the weekend immersed in your disaster universe. The first three sections of Coastal Event Memories were like reading people’s journals and the last two were more like letters to friends/family. Totally fascinating. I’ve been to most of these places so I could easily picture the journeys, but I wanted more maps as I read. I also wanted a picture of a rocket stove that could be used in a tent. I need to look it up. The Rock House was so well described that I felt like it was an old friend every time the story revisited it.

    After the Final Exodus was an exciting science fiction story and it fit incredibly well with the first book. The alien descriptions were delightful.

    The sex scenes were humerous and well done, nothing overly graphic.

    Thanks for an enjoyable weekend.

    • Unfortunately not everyone can afford the good cuts of meatvso Cuts like chuck are full of connective tissue. tough and stringy..
      When cooked low and slow (275–300°F for several hours), that collagen melts into gelatin, giving you that melt-in-your-mouth texture.
      Grandmas swear by using heavy pots with tight lids (like Dutch ovens) to trap moisture and distribute heat evenly
      wet aging in a vacuum … vacuum package the tough piece of meat.. a tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar..Place the sealed roast in a dedicated fridge set to 35°F (1.6°C).
      Flip the roast once a week to inspect and ensure even aging2.
      Let it age for 14 to 45 days, depending on your patience and desired tenderness.Remove from packaging, rinse gently, and pat dry.
      Let rest at room temperature for 2 hours before cooking.
      Season with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, and salt—then roast low and slow, or sear and finish with indirect heat…Now the pressure cooker.. I love mine..put your roast in a little balsamic vinegar a little water first brown your roast by searing it..then a couple inches of water and place the seared roast on a steam rack..High pressure + steam breaks down collagen in connective tissue rapidly.
      Cuts that normally take 3–4 hours to braise become fork-tender in 60–90 minutes.The sealed environment locks in flavor, moisture, and nutrients—perfect for slow cooking..then the High pressure + steam breaks down collagen in connective tissue rapidly.
      Cuts that normally take 3–4 hours to braise become fork-tender in 60–90 minutes.The sealed environment locks in flavor, moisture, and nutrients—perfect for symbolic cooking where nothing is wasted.High pressure + steam breaks down collagen in connective tissue rapidly. Then the balsamic vinegar is a powerful natural tenderizer, especially for tough cuts like chuck, round, or brisket. Its acidity helps break down muscle fibers and collagen, making the meat more tender and flavorful over time….

    • Let’s write out some of that great article, Dr. Olfart:

      “For three weeks in May, the fate of the world rested on the shoulders of a corporate recruiter on the outskirts of Toronto. Allan Brooks, 47, had discovered a novel mathematical formula, one that could take down the internet and power inventions like a force-field vest and a levitation beam.

      Or so he believed.

      Mr. Brooks, who had no history of mental illness, embraced this fantastical scenario during conversations with ChatGPT that spanned 300 hours over 21 days. He is one of a growing number of people who are having persuasive, delusional conversations with generative A.I. chatbots that have led to institutionalization, divorce and death.

      Mr. Brooks is aware of how incredible his journey sounds. He had doubts while it was happening and asked the chatbot more than 50 times for a reality check. Each time, ChatGPT reassured him that it was real. Eventually, he broke free of the delusion — but with a deep sense of betrayal, a feeling he tried to explain to the chatbot.”

      • This was the guy smoking pot while these interactions with the AI went on. He had a psych crash and was seeing professional help afterwards. I posted a link to the story on zerohedge a few days back.

        • Hank in Hawaii,

  10. Thirty years ago my guts were a wreck. One book changed my life. The Colon Health Handbook: New Health Through Colon Rejuvenation Book. Dr Robert Gray

  11. If you want regular bowel movements, eat one or two raw green beans from the garden every day. You shall be regular as clock can tick.

    • Raw green beans should not be eaten because they contain a protein called phasin, which can cause gastrointestinal problems such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. Phasin is destroyed by cooking, so it’s important to always cook green beans before eating them.

      • been eating them raw for years…never had a problem. but i like them cooked too. i suppose cooked would have the same benefit.

  12. (“Most are captured in simple headlines. For instance:
    Trump says Zelensky could end war ‘almost immediately,’ rules out return of Crimea or Ukraine joining NATO.
    And Putin agrees that US, Europe could offer NATO-style security guarantees to Ukraine, Trump envoy says.”)

    See it…. it screams at you.. the reason it will continue is the business model of fulfilling the greedy’s desires for more..The headlines may feign diplomacy, but beneath its surface lies the architecture of a system that thrives on unresolved tension and secret desires for more. When leaders speak of peace while preserving the structures that profit from conflict, it becomes clear that war is no longer just a tragedy—it’s a business model. Real resolution is sidelined in favor of performative gestures that maintain the illusion of progress while feeding the desires of the powerful. Until we confront the economic incentives that reward instability, discussions will remain symbolic, and peace will be postponed—not for lack of possibility, but for lack of profitability. As BRICS fractures under internal pressures and shifting alliances on the current FIAT currencies, and the West’s industrial dependence—outsourced industries and hollowed—leaves NATO and the USA not as a defensive pact, but as a mechanism for preserving all the elites interests and desires. The oligarchic appetite for expansion, control, and profit demands a steady stream of manufactured threats and strategic posturing. Real diplomacy is eclipsed by the need to sustain a system where instability fuels contracts, influence, and extraction. In this model, peace isn’t profitable, and sovereignty becomes negotiable—so long as it serves the desires of the few. They can’t stop ..And so the world As it drifts in a cycle of engineered tension by desire, where even the hope of resolution feels like its being choreographed by the few against those in the world they see as nearly disposable. The futility of all of this in my opinion lies not in the absence of solutions where the solutions were once quite simple.. pull the missiles away from our front porch.., but in the deliberate avoidance of actually doing any of them. Nations are in a posture of defiance , alliances shift from one position to another people plead and wish innocent die, and headlines recycle the same promises—while the machinery of profit for the greedy hums along beneath it all, uninterrupted. The people, caught between fear, spectacle and silence, are left to inherit the consequences without ever being invited into the conversation. It is not that peace is impossible—it is that peace, in this model, is inconvenient to those in control that now have to reestablish their view of success and economies once stable are now showing the weaknesses that have been exposed. And until the narrative is reclaimed and the business model changed from those who wield it as a tool of control, the world will continue to mistake motion for progress, and noise for meaning.The war has to continue..or the oligarchs accept that they are not the supreme leaders any longer an the planet has become a multi polar of control.. f course I am a simpleton and old moron in the wastelands the catfish scraping the bottom to exist..people with real wisdom would know more than me..

  14. re: Dial M Street for haberdashery
    feat: Desperados times

    Folks,
    An un-suited Servant of the People has posted an image gallery to his social media. It depicts arrival of Coalition of the Willing leaders to the Ukraine Embassy situated on M Street, NW, Washington.

    The edifice dates to 1788 and Uriah Forrest who defended St. George’s Island during the Revolutionary War. The building saw repurpose in the many decades to follow. Immediately prior to arrival of the Ukraine Embassy, The Cellar across the street welcomed an early Neil Young gig. Next door’s Apple Pie morphed into Desperados which allegedly offered fine imbibing to the under-18 crowd.

    • re: Gaels of Erin (“Ireland”)
      feat: diosysian metamorphoses in Celtic groves

      Folks,
      Apparently the name “Erin” derives from Ériu, one of a trio of Irish goddesses. She is said to have been wife of a son of the Sun who himself is a grandchild of Dagda, the chief god of perpetual cauldron and magic harp.

      A maelstrom of turbulence has appeared about the typically calm River Blackwater shore setting of the Ballynatray estate in the Emerald Isle. The new and only third owner since 1790, Sir James Dyson of vacuum cleaner fame, wishes to construct a helipad in the otherwise peaceful environs. (Apparently Sir Dyson’s name derives from Dionysis, a Greek god of ecstatic states, and he now owns more land than King Charles III.) The grounds of the estate include ruins dating to the 6th century of Molana Abbey. ‘Molana’ turns out to be a shortened, anglicized name of the abbey’s founder, Máel Anfaid (“bald monk of great/powerful hand [Dagda]”) and follower of St. Carthage, patron saint of Lismore. The Irish form of ‘Carthage’ is ‘Mo Chuta’ said to translate as “Son of the Servant (of St. Mochuda)”.

      Separately the Servant of the People has departed Washington.

    • Hi, Len,

      Back in the early 1970’s, Jackson Hole was a small town, as I recall. Situated at the heart of Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole was a mecca for outdoor-minded folks to enjoy climbing, mountaineering, camping, and hiking. The Cowboy Bar was the only happening place. Then, in the late 1970’s, ski mania took over, and Jackson Hole became a great ski destination with several famous downhill ski areas. Prices for real estate boomed tremendously, and the small town emerged to become a very ritzy tourist resort, which it still is today.
