“Do not compare, do not measure, there is no other path like yours.” - Carl G. Jung Carl Jung’s philosophy reflects his concept of individuation, the lifelong journey of discovering your true self and becoming a fully authentic individual. Jung believed that comparing your achievements and progress to others means measuring your life against standards that were never designed for you. Everyone has a unique psychological makeup, and following someone else’s path can lead to a life of imitation rather than genuine fulfillment. When you allow society’s expectations to dictate your direction, you risk losing touch with who you truly are. For Jung, real growth comes from looking inward, embracing your individuality, and discovering what gives your life meaning. Ultimately, your greatest responsibility is to follow your own path, even when it’s uncertain or unfamiliar. No one else has lived your exact journey, and no one else can discover who you are for you.

THIS AGED VERY WELL: I posted this 6.5 years ago at a time when people were laughing at any possibility of inflation. Time shows that I absolutely NAILED the onset of gold rush, inflation, rise in rates, social disorder, wars and government intruding into the economy. In fact, I have not seen or heard of a better prediction that stood the test of time for 6.5 years. Despite that, investing has been hard because markets are heavily manipulated.

Margin calls?...
🚨 FED RUSHES INTO MAJOR BANKS AS PRIVATE CREDIT DEBT BOMB THREATENS FULL MARKET LIQUIDITY COLLAPSE The New York Fed is already inside JPMorgan, Wells Fargo, Barclays, and Morgan Stanley inspecting their loans to private credit firms because those firms are about to get crushed rolling over hundreds of billions in debt at today’s punishing interest rates. Companies that borrowed cheap a few years ago now face refinancing walls where rates are far higher. Their cash flows cannot cover the new payments, so the private credit lenders that own the loans are marking them down and struggling to fund themselves. Banks that lent to those private credit firms are sitting on the collateral. When the Fed starts asking about collateral quality and counterparty exposure, it means the overnight funding desks are already hearing stress. If one large player cannot roll its paper, the banks holding the other side of those trades get hit at the same time. This freezes repo markets, forces fire sales of bonds and loans, and turns a private credit problem into a market-wide liquidity seizure. This is the exact transmission path that turns isolated losses into a systemic funding crisis. This was exactly warned the famous City of London banker @LordBelgrave at the start of year. The rollover wave is here now. The Margin Calls are about to show up.

You never know when a "pressing" matter might come up. Made friends with this pleasant gentleman at the Sheki market over a glass of pomegranate juice...then he put me to work. 😅

I love old doors... This one caught my attention today. It's in Nij Village, home to the largest population of Udi people. A local family hosted us for lunch...

Every last bone in my body was screaming at me to just get back into my warm bed. Remember I said "I still can't believe what I just saw" a couple of days ago? This is it. I knew there was a chance that there would be some Aurora but I definitely didn't expect a meteorite to come right through the scene. I couldn't go back to sleep I was so excited.

🚨Breaking. There's been a pneumonic plague outbreak at a BSL-3 lab in Siberia, Russia.🚨 "Nearly 200 People Under Observation After Irkutsk Lab Worker Dies From Plague" - Moscow Times This is fact, and also the inciting incident in my book BIOLOGICAL WAR: A SCENARIO, which is unnerving. Will post more as I learn more, including from Russian speaking sources🧵 shorturl.at/De4kW

At some point in the next 18 months, the Fed is going to hike too much, the AI bubble will burst, bond yields are going to plunge and all these theories about fiscal dominance are going to look rather silly. Always choose incompetence over conspiracy

I was genuinely surprised just how much impact Azerbaijan had on the transportation industry. In the 1880's they produced 52% of the world's oil. Enter Nobel brothers...ships and trains running on oil to transport oil. How the world of energy has changed in over a century!!!!!
