This is less about the specific scientific claims in a manual and more about who defines the "Gold Standard" for evidence in the United States. If the administrative state decides that scientific peer review is insufficient to qualify for government reliance, it marks a fundamental shift in... 1/2

The six powers wore the reserve crown because each controlled the dominant trade, naval, financial, or industrial network of its age. Portugal controlled routes. Spain controlled bullion. The Dutch controlled finance. France controlled continental power. Britain controlled empire and banking. 1/4

Jeff Bezos’ effective federal income tax rate is approximately 1.1% when measured as a percentage of his wealth growth. Put it back to 1974 rates... and then it will help the teacher in Queens.

The corporate playbook for AI is shifting from strategic experiment to fiduciary necessity. We’re approaching a Leaker Effect, where one competitor proves they can cut costs through agentic restructuring, and the entire sector has to follow suit to keep up. 1/2

Biomanufacturing has historically struggled with costs that limited it to luxury or niche markets. By establishing a closed-loop system where the fiber can be dissolved, recovered, and respun into fibers of original strength multiple times, 1/2

If you want to understand where the global economy is heading, stop looking at inflation numbers. Look at who is holding the bond market together. The U.S. Treasury market is being quietly propped up by a fragile patchwork of hedge funds, repo trades, and newly adjusted banking regulations. 1/2

For centuries, we’ve panicked about new tools. Plato hated writing; teachers hated calculators. But in every past case, human judgment remained the "loop." AI is different. It doesn't just retrieve information.. it returns finished judgment. We are currently witnessing a massive sorting event. 1/2

Weirdly, smart people tend to be more trusting (just shows, again, that intelligence is multifaceted), except if they grew up poor (or otherwise disadvantaged), which seems to push you to be less trusting. 🧪 Link: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/01461672261439412​

In the age of Trump, Thoreau’s warning no longer feels abstract. We are watching what happens when a nation confuses legality with justice, power with legitimacy, and cruelty with strength. The penalty is not only political. It is moral. And eventually, as Thoreau warned, the world begins to laugh.

“How do you go on living at a time when simply living your life seems complicit with something you find morally intolerable?”~on Henry David Thoreau’s Civil Disobedience

Still one of the best movies written for the gems found within. No Country for Old Men.

Social science papers often use broad, abstract terminology so an LLM can easily stitch these keywords together into a plausible-sounding title that sounds like it should exist, even if it doesn't. I have tried to address this with my solution but social science is one that I haven’t closed the gap

One has to wonder how blurry we must make the line between scientific literacy and how people define truth. We know these beasts existed and the oil that we are arguing over is literally made from their remains and yet we bicker over nonsense and continually allow moronic leaders to steer... 1/2

Their ability to create melanin with adjustable functional properties suggests a future where sunscreens and makeup are tailored to specific skin types or environmental conditions. As such, fermentation-derived ingredients offer a cleaner label & a lower carbon footprint compared to petro-alts.

In 1968, eight mice were given paradise. They chose extinction instead. We usually blame decadence, but the real culprit was role saturation. As AI begins to compress the roles humans occupy, are we entering "Phase C" of our own Universe 25? Let’s explore the full breakdown on the true limit.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

Mockler: He took office and spiked 2.9% inflation, up to 3.8%. Gas prices are up to $4.50 in most states, and he did this all while stripping insurance away from 10 million Americans. I think the most impressive part is the deficit hasn't decreased at all.

Well we now know why they are trying to subvert environmental regulations… Pretty much Utah wildlife is in trouble.

If you search your soul, you know that what many states are doing, and what the Supreme Court has enabled, is wrong in denying people fair and just representation. And for what reason? Because of the color of their skin? How tragic that our society must once again revisit these lessons.

Thirteen years. Three rulings. One project. The legal front door is welded shut, but the operating system is still ours to fork. Here is the blueprint for an architecture of accountability. Not one they can't strike down, but one that does not depend on their permission to keep working. #Voting

Imagine a game where every time you're about to win, the referee changes the rules… but only for you. That is exactly what’s happening to voting rights right now. A new Supreme Court ruling just made it legal to drown out specific voices.... 1/2

Lagarde says this isn’t the 1970s and downplays stagflation. That’s fine, but it misses the point. Markets don’t wait for labels. They price forward risk. Higher rates + lower visibility = multiple compression. You don’t need full stagnation for that. 1/2

Do you think Trump’s sharpie can fix this? I wonder how many are still ignoring the science. It’s being selectively acknowledged and economically deferred. Meanwhile, the underlying physics doesn’t care about narrative alignment.

We don't need to guess how to fix the AI economy. We have a control group. For 25 years, the US economy actually worked for everyone. Productivity rose, and wages rose right along with it. We didn't lose the "secret sauce"... We dismantled the system that made it possible. 1/2

We’ve seen this play before... proprietary stacks that force you into their ecosystem. The web was meant to be open, and our AI agents should be too. I’ve released a suite of open specifications to ensure the next generation of AI stays decentralized and interoperable

Most of what we call executive genius is just high-stakes pattern recognition… something AI already does better than the median Fortune 500 chief. Here’s why the C-suite is the most automatable layer of the economy, and why nobody is doing it. This one is a 3 part series and the end has a twist

After months of building, I realized that the most important part of the process wasn't the high-speed inference…it was the now. The duration. The ability to set a problem down and let it leak into the rest of my life. AI has capacity, but it doesn't have an arc. 1/2
