  • Every Generation Thinks Their Bubble Is Different

    Every generation thinks their bubble is different. Every generation is half right. Wealth is seldom about genius, but about timing, forceful entry in transition times, bold persistence… … And then, shrewd, historical-data engineered annealing and surface hardening of “flash wealth” — the transformation to “old money,” for survival and the…

  • It’s Not About the Nail II

    Looking for the source of the problem, and the source of the solution, is a good move actually. Denial, defensiveness, and avoidance are not brilliant. BeHisChange.com https://lnkd.in/gyiN2iv8 https://youtu.be/-4EDhdAHrOg?si=FcwVrqRnalZr6CEI See post on LinkedIn

  • Normal Is Not Coming Back, Jesus Is

    Normal is not coming back. Jesus is.Lemmings are useless, but they sure are cute.We have a deep-seated human glitch: we choose what is familiar over what is true, and what is comfortable over what is transformative. We mistake “socially acceptable” for “necessary.” It turns out we don’t usually reject the…

  • The Market Is Down 5%

    Fishing for a “bottom” or “top” in any market is a recipe for disaster. Ask me how I know? I took a long position, bought a truckload of Japanese Yen in one 2AM EST delirious delulu instant… at the highest-high in decades, as it turned out. It crashed within minutes.…

  • For Those of Us Who Think We Are Big Stuff

    For those of us teeny-tiny humans who think we are “big stuff“… consider the vastness of “space”— and how minuscule our mudball is. Being “important” for a minute amongst the 8 billion “ants” isn’t the Important part of HisStory! See: https://lnkd.in/g6jc24Hk See post on LinkedIn

  • In the Nothingness, There Is a Plan for Being Safe Together

    In the bunch of “nothingness” as Astronaut Victor Glover described it, there is a Plan for being Safe, “together.” Religion, as humans have contorted it, is not the Plan, nor has it represented our Designer very well. Atheism, the religion of Self, is even worse. He came to show us,…

  • The Calling vs. the Self-Culling

    The “Calling” vs the self-“Culling” — there’s a fine line. It’s a crazy world. As Joe Rogan said, there’s no flaw in the way Jesus lived and Jesus has called us to live… if we go back to the source—rather than all the man-made stuff, “the Whisper Game,” since then.…

    Ant-Cam: I really don’t know how I feel about what we are seeing. “Tunnel Vision” has always seemed like a “bad” thing to me? An “educational film“ or documentary done with AI doesn’t offend me. We all kind of got used to synthesized music, reverb, and auto-tune, then even compressed…

    Here are some other fascinating angles on HFO and maritime shipping fuel:The Sulfur RevolutionFor decades, HFO could contain up to 3.5% sulfur.

    “Anyone who wants to ‘make’ more than they ‘take’ —has my respect.” (Elon Musk) Refreshing words, in a world where razing lives instead of raising lives is almost the air most breathe in this generation.

  • Are Data Centers Simply a Real Estate “Asset Class?”

    Are Data Centers simply a real estate “asset class”? Hardly.

  • The Casimir Effect

    Scientists keep finding ways to accept and explain what they can’t see. Except for God. “That could never be! Statistics aren’t enough. Prove it! The effects are not enough!“  Why does “cause and effect” evidence apply to 10,000 other topics, but not to the existence of a Creator, a Designer?…

  • Agendas

    This is the power and downfall of the system. Agendas. Even admirable agendas become more important than truth and safety, and the humility to admit we were wrong.

  • A System Is an Easy Target for the Enemy

    A “System” is an easy target for the Enemy. Find the weakness, the channel for command and control, and overwhelm it on that frequency—until there is no further recognition of True North.

  • Orbits, Not Division

    There’s a moment in Luke where Jesus looks like he’s contradicting himself — but he’s not. He’s making two completely different points. In Luke 11:23 — “Whoever is not with me is against me” — he’s in the middle of spiritual war, responding to jealous accusations. No neutral ground exists.…
