Occured to me the other day, if you have not been humbled by AI yet, you are not pushing it hard enough. Most web updates, forms e.t.c that I need to fill nowadays, I just get claude to do them. It has my context.

Let’s start with three assumptions that we consider rock-solid. 1. Government spending will continue to grow. 2. The government will need more currency debasement to finance that spending. 3. Wages will not keep up. If we had to distill this into a single point, it would be: You can’t outrun the money printer by working harder. You need to own the right assets or fall behind. Owning inflation-resistant assets matters more than income, though income still matters. Let’s zoom out and look at the big picture. The following chart tracks gold, the S&P 500, the money supply (M2), median housing prices, wages, and the CPI over the past 62 years. According to the rigged CPI, prices rose 977%, while wages rose 1,179%. The official numbers claim that wages have outpaced inflation since 1964. Yet anyone with eyes to see and a functioning brain knows that claim is false. Reality lies in a different ballpark. The government uses the CPI as misleading propaganda to conceal its atrocious currency debasement. The growth in the money supply provides a better measure of the damage. It grew 5,775% over the same period. In other words, wages kept pace with about 20% of the currency debasement. Relative to the money supply, wages lost about 80% of their value. To us, this better reflects reality and provides a sound benchmark and hurdle rate. If your wealth does not grow at least as fast as the money supply, you are losing ground and heading down the road to serfdom. Median housing prices rose 2,070%. Housing outpaced wages but failed to keep pace with currency debasement. Gold and the S&P 500 outran currency debasement. Now let’s look at the same data starting in 1999. It tells a similar story. According to the CPI, prices doubled, rising 100%. Wages rose 140%, outpacing the government’s official inflation measure. Housing rose 156%, beating wages but falling far short of the 427% increase in the money supply. The money supply has grown to more than five times its 1999 level. That is why $1 million does not buy what it once did. The S&P 500 rose 523%, with currency debasement driving much of that increase. Gold won, rising 1,549%. This illustrate the main implication of the currency debasement megatrend: You can’t outrun the money printer by working harder. You need to own the right assets or get left behind. Housing has not kept pace, and we do not expect it to. You need to own gold and the right stocks if you want to outpace currency debasement. Remember, this process compounds. Year after year, asset prices and capital gains grow faster than wages. Over time, this dynamic has created a deep divide between asset owners and wage earners. We expect that divide to widen. In this age of ever-increasing currency debasement, your top financial priority should be to join the asset-owning class, where your wealth grows and compounds with currency debasement. Otherwise, you remain a wage earner chasing fiat dollars that lose value each year. In the fiat system, owning assets pays better than selling your labor. And it’s not even close.

Here it is. I recorded this earlier today right after an actual in–person meeting with a big construction corp for a potential contract work for an internal app they needed. My dev friends are going to hate some of the things I said towards the end. But, please hear me out from the beginning. I really hope you disagree with me.
We are so done 😄 I will try to share in a bit a specific situation. It’s the way of the world. The evolution. — Context: ai, apps, saas, vibe coding.

Story of Australia as well. Per capita we have the most public employees.
The point of no return by Richard von Mises is worth reading: "A state becomes almost unreformable when the majority of the population is financially or structurally dependent on the state (state employees, civil servants, recipients of subsidies, grants, or transfer payments, etc.). As soon as those who net benefit from or are supported by the state outnumber those who do not, the system blocks reforms, since the majority votes out of self-interest for the preservation or expansion of state services." Does this sound familiar? Some European countries, France, Belgium, Finland are already way beyond that point, closely followed by Germany, Spain, Austria and Italy. It works for a while, as long as markets buy more sovereign debt at reasonable interest rates. The party ends when they stop though. For France, they stopped this month, Belgium will be next. The longer the socialist illusion persists, the more painful the inevitable cuts and adjustments will be. It’s pure arithmetic. Good luck Europe, good luck Euro. Buckle up, it won’t be pretty.

In response to the tweet below which is going viral, a respondent challenged me to provide a definition of what I consider to be "American values" It's a fair question, so I took a first-pass shot at it below LMK how close you think I came to the mark & if there are any material edits you'd suggest CULTURAL VALUES: - be honest - work hard - pursue self-betterment - be self-reliant/don't be a drain on others - contribute more than you take - play a constructive role in your community - do no harm (steal, injure, lie, etc) & make amends if you do - violence is a last resort & then only in self-defense - be dependable - be accountable - build/create, don't destroy - measure people on their merit & character, nothing more - value & respect the family - honor those who created the benefits we have & aspire to leave a better world to those who come after us - honor your country - value the good & the beautiful VALUES OF THE STATE: - All people are created equal & should be treated equally under the law - Personal liberty: my liberty extends all the way up to the point where it will start to impinge on yours. We are each entitled to: -- freedom of speech/religion/press/assembly/petition (1st Amendment) -- freedom to self-defend (2nd Amendment) -- freedom to fair legal treatment (5th-8th Amendment) -- freedom of self-determination (pursuit of happiness: 9th & 10th Amendments) - We are a democratic republic/constitutional federal republic - The Constitution is the supreme authority on our Federal rules of governance - The Federal government's duties are primarily limited to levying taxes to secure the national defense & common welfare, diplomacy with foreign relations, and establishing standards. - All powers not specified in the Constitution are left up to the individual states (federalism) - The US government's supreme priority is to the interests & well-being of its citizens Why are these so important? Because our values shape our beliefs, our beliefs shape our actions, and our actions shape our destiny. We want the best guiding values so that we can have the best possible outcomes. Also, they act as a filter. If someone does not share these values -- demonstrated either by their words or their behavior -- then they do not get to participate in and/or benefit from our society.
Much of Europe is now sending a screaming warning to the USA (France mostly loudly at the moment) about the perils of: - too many immigrants from cultures that don't share Western values & don't want to assimilate - softness on crime - unsustainable socialist policies - rampant wokeism The key questions are: - Will we listen & respond in time? - Is Europe still savable?

I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you. I come from your future. In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream. Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them. The promise was protection. The result is stagnation. The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe. I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has. Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France? Trust me. You don’t want to be France.
Je n'ai jamais été aussi optimiste. Pas malgré le chaos actuel, mais grâce à lui. Je vais vous expliquer pourquoi l'empire du mensonge construit par la gauche depuis cinquante ans va s'effondrer, et pourquoi ce n'est pas une opinion mais une question de physique. Tout commence avec un mouvement né sur X il y a quelques années : l'effective accelerationism, ou e/acc. Au départ, c'est une idée presque thermodynamique. L'univers a une tendance de fond : la matière s'organise pour capter et dissiper l'énergie de plus en plus efficacement. Une cellule fait ça. Une forêt fait ça. Une civilisation fait ça. Le marché, la technologie et le capital sont les formes les plus avancées de ce processus. Ce sont des machines à transformer l'énergie en intelligence, en abondance, en complexité. La thèse e/acc est simple : il ne faut pas freiner cette dynamique, il faut l'embrasser. Plus d'énergie, plus de calcul, plus d'innovation, plus de croissance. Monter sur l'échelle de Kardashev au lieu de s'excuser d'exister. En face, il y a les « décels » : ceux qui veulent ralentir, réguler, taxer, interdire, culpabiliser. Ceux qui voient le progrès comme une menace à contenir plutôt qu'une force à libérer. Mais il y a une dimension de l'accélération dont presque personne ne parle. L'accélération n'est pas seulement un moteur. C'est un filtre. Pensez à n'importe quel organisme. Un corps humain en bonne santé peut courir. Il accélère, son cœur pompe plus fort, ses muscles consomment plus d'oxygène, et tout fonctionne parce que le système est bien conçu. Maintenant, prenez un corps malade. Des artères bouchées, un cœur fragile, des organes qui ne communiquent plus entre eux. Faites-le courir. Il ne va pas plus vite vers la santé. Il va plus vite vers l'infarctus. L'accélération ne corrige pas les défauts d'un système. Elle les amplifie. Un système sain qui accélère devient plus fort. Un système dysfonctionnel qui accélère meurt plus vite. Et c'est exactement ce qui est en train d'arriver au projet que je vais appeler par son nom : le projet globalo-socialiste. Celui porté par les démocrates américains, par la technostructure de Bruxelles, par les entités supranationales qui n'ont de comptes à rendre à personne, par un réseau d'ONG financées par l'argent public pour dicter la morale aux peuples qui les financent. Regardez ce que ce projet a produit. Des États obèses qui prélèvent plus de la moitié de la richesse produite et qui délivrent des services publics de plus en plus dégradés. Des écoles qui n'apprennent plus à lire mais qui apprennent à culpabiliser. Des hôpitaux à bout de souffle malgré des budgets records. Une immigration massive sans aucune exigence d'assimilation, présentée comme une chance par ceux qui n'en subissent jamais les conséquences. Une désindustrialisation organisée au nom d'une écologie punitive qui délocalise la pollution en Chine et l'emploi avec. Des normes, des normes, et encore des normes, jusqu'à ce qu'il devienne plus simple de créer une entreprise à Austin qu'à Lyon. Une justice qui excuse le coupable et soupçonne la victime. Une censure qui avance masquée sous le nom de « lutte contre la désinformation ». Et une jeunesse à qui l'on a expliqué que son pays, son histoire et sa civilisation étaient des crimes à expier. Ce n'est pas un ensemble de bugs. C'est la conception elle-même. Maintenant, changeons d'image. Voyez ce système comme un moteur. Un bon moteur, c'est de la précision. Des pièces qui s'emboîtent, un minimum de frottements, une énergie qui se transforme en mouvement. Le marché libre, la propriété, la responsabilité individuelle, la monnaie saine : c'est ça, un moteur bien conçu. L'information circule par les prix, chaque erreur est sanctionnée, chaque bonne idée est récompensée. Le moteur socialiste, lui, est mal conçu dès le départ. Il ne tourne pas sur la création de valeur mais sur sa redistribution. Il ne récompense pas la performance, il la taxe. Il ne laisse pas les erreurs mourir, il les subventionne. Résultat : ça frotte partout. Ça chauffe. Ça grince. Chaque pièce use la pièce d'à côté. Et que font ceux qui pilotent ce moteur ? Au lieu de le reconcevoir, ils changent les pièces. En permanence. Une pièce cède, on en remet une neuve. Encore une. Encore une. Ces pièces de rechange, vous les connaissez. Elles s'appellent la dette publique et la planche à billets. La France a dépassé les 3 300 milliards d'euros de dette et n'a pas voté un budget à l'équilibre depuis le milieu des années 70. Les États-Unis ont franchi les 37 000 milliards de dollars. Les banques centrales ont maintenu des taux à zéro pendant des années, imprimé des montants que plus personne ne sait se représenter, et quand l'inflation est arrivée, elles ont fait semblant d'être surprises. Milton Friedman l'avait pourtant dit il y a cinquante ans : l'inflation est toujours et partout un phénomène monétaire. Chaque crise, on rachète du temps avec de l'argent qui n'existe pas. Chaque problème structurel, on l'arrose de liquidités pour masquer le bruit du moteur. Mais les frottements sont toujours là. Ils s'accumulent. Et la facture des pièces de rechange finit par coûter plus cher que le moteur lui-même : la charge de la dette devient l'un des premiers postes de dépense de l'État français. Pendant des décennies, ce moteur mal conçu a pu tourner à 3 000 tours par minute. Lentement. Bruyamment. Mais il tournait. Le monde allait assez doucement pour que le bricolage permanent suffise à masquer l'absurdité de la conception. Et puis l'IA est arrivée. L'intelligence artificielle, c'est l'accélération la plus brutale de l'histoire humaine. Ce qui prenait des années prend des mois. Ce qui prenait des mois prend des jours. Des entreprises de dix personnes font ce que faisaient des entreprises de mille. Le capital, les talents et les idées se déplacent à la vitesse de la lumière vers les endroits où ils sont bien traités. L'IA vient de faire passer le moteur de 3 000 à 20 000 tours par minute. Posez-vous la question qu'un ingénieur se poserait. Que se passe-t-il quand on fait monter à 20 000 tours un moteur mal conçu, rafistolé de partout, qui frotte à chaque rotation ? Il explose. Pas parce que quelqu'un l'a saboté. Parce que la physique ne négocie pas. Et c'est exactement ce que nous voyons en ce moment, sous nos yeux. L'insécurité qui gagne des villes entières qui étaient paisibles il y a vingt ans. Le conflit de Gaza importé dans nos rues et instrumentalisé par une gauche qui a troqué l'ouvrier contre le clientélisme communautaire. La misère qui revient dans un pays qui a pourtant un des taux de dépense publique les plus élevés au monde. Des classes moyennes qui travaillent et n'arrivent plus à se loger. Une France fracturée, où l'on parle désormais à voix haute de risque de guerre civile. Ce ne sont pas des accidents. Ce ne sont pas des « crises » successives sans lien entre elles. Ce sont les pièces du moteur qui commencent à voler. C'est la conséquence logique de cinquante ans de socialisme international : un système qui a détruit la responsabilité, la frontière, la monnaie, l'école et la fierté, et qui découvre qu'à haute vitesse, tout ce qui a été détruit ne peut plus être compensé par une ligne de dette supplémentaire. Et c'est là que je deviens profondément optimiste. Parce qu'une fois qu'on a compris ça, on comprend aussi que leur projet a une date de fin. Pas une date politique. Une date physique. Un système qui consomme plus qu'il ne produit, qui punit ceux qui créent et récompense ceux qui détruisent, qui finance son présent en hypothéquant l'avenir de ses enfants, ne peut pas durer indéfiniment. Il n'est pas soutenable par construction. L'IA ne fait qu'avancer l'échéance. Le mensonge a besoin de lenteur pour survivre. Il a besoin que les conséquences arrivent assez tard pour qu'on puisse accuser quelqu'un d'autre. Dans un monde à 20 000 tours, les conséquences arrivent immédiatement. Le mensonge n'a plus le temps de se cacher. Alors, que faire quand le moteur explose ? On en construit un nouveau. Et cette fois, on le conçoit correctement. Écoutez Elon Musk. Un homme qui a reconstruit l'industrie spatiale, la voiture électrique et l'infrastructure satellite en partant d'un principe simple : revenir aux premiers principes. Ne pas demander « comment on a toujours fait », mais « qu'est-ce qui est physiquement vrai ». C'est exactement ce dont nos États ont besoin : arrêter de rafistoler et repartir de la base. Écoutez Javier Milei. Un homme dont tout le monde se moquait, arrivé à la tête d'un pays ravagé par un siècle de péronisme, et qui a pris la tronçonneuse au sens propre. Ministères supprimés, dépenses coupées, inflation écrasée, excédent budgétaire retrouvé. Il a prouvé une chose que la gauche jurait impossible : on peut démonter le moteur socialiste et le peuple peut le soutenir. Écoutez Milton Friedman. Relisez-le. Tout était déjà là. La monnaie, la liberté de choisir, la responsabilité, les effets pervers de l'intervention publique. Il disait que si l'on confiait le Sahara au gouvernement fédéral, il y aurait pénurie de sable en cinq ans. On a ri. On a confié le sable. On a eu la pénurie. Revenez à une hiérarchie et au respect du beau. Une civilisation ne tient pas que sur des chiffres. Elle tient sur l'idée qu'il existe des choses supérieures à d'autres. Que l'excellence vaut mieux que la médiocrité. Que le mérite compte. Qu'une cathédrale est plus belle qu'un parking. Que transmettre est un devoir et pas une oppression. Le relativisme a été l'arme culturelle de ce projet. Le retour du beau, du vrai et de l'exigence en sera l'antidote. Et enfin, faites le Nuremberg du communisme. Le nazisme a été jugé, documenté, enseigné, et il est devenu moralement indéfendable. Le communisme, avec ses dizaines de millions de morts, ses goulags, ses famines organisées et ses peuples réduits en esclavage, n'a jamais eu ce procès. On peut encore porter un t-shirt du Che dans une université sans que personne ne cille. Tant que ce procès historique et moral n'aura pas eu lieu, l'idéologie continuera de muter et de revenir sous de nouveaux noms. Il faut nommer les crimes, les enseigner, honorer les victimes, et rendre cette idéologie aussi infréquentable que celle qu'elle prétendait combattre. Le monde qui vient sera plus rapide, plus exigeant et plus impitoyable avec les systèmes mal conçus. C'est une terrible nouvelle pour ceux qui ont vécu du mensonge. Et c'est la meilleure nouvelle de notre génération pour tous ceux qui veulent construire. Le moteur va exploser. À nous de dessiner le suivant.

I'm South African. I also want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. To warn you. I come from even further into the future. South Africa used to be a first-world country. We had the best infrastructure and hospitals in the world, and we were developing our own nuclear capability. Today, there is literally shit running in the streets; people in our capital, Johannesburg, haven't had running water for months and more than 40 000 rape cases are reported every year. For most South Africans, there is no such thing as healthcare. You go and stand in a queue for days, then go home. This is what happens when you hand your country to economically illiterate progressive fools with catchy slogans. Don't do it.

Consulting firms like McKinsey, BCG, Accenture, EY, PwC, Deloitte and the lot, train their people to have insane presence. Ever wonder how they do it? Presence is really just the ability to shift a meeting's direction with a few perfectly timed words. And you can build this same kind of gravitas without being the loudest person... I'll give you a few suggestions. 1) WHAT YOU SAY It all starts with exactly what you say. Don't list 10 reasons for something. Pick the most important 2 and move on. Build a single sentence that states what you want to do, why you should do it, and what the payoff is. Whenever you suggest a path, openly state what you are giving up to take it. 2) WHEN YOU SAY IT You also *do not need* to talk the whole time to run the meeting. Focus on the first 2 minutes when the goal is set, and the last 2 minutes when some choice is getting made. Jump in during natural pauses to guide everyone back to the main decision. If people get off track, calmly remind them what you are all there to decide. 3) HOW YOU SAY IT So many professionals weaken their own ideas with the language they use. Big mistake. Drop filler words like "maybe" or "I just think". Stop that thing, buddy! Base your points on hard data or customer feedback instead of your own ego. State the risks openly and make your suggestion clearly. 4) WHERE YOU SAY IT Your physical delivery is important, even on a screen! Take a breath before you speak: it slows your pace and makes you sound calmer. Look right into the camera when you make your main point. Say what needs to be done, stay silent for a couple of beats, then let your words hang in the air before asking for thoughts. Perhaps it's cointerintuitive, but silence displays confidence. The more volume of words you spit out, the less people will listen. 5) BASELINE YOURSELF You need to know where you are starting from, so the first obvious move is to baseline yourself. Consulting Edge scores your behaviours across six key capabilities, including Presence. The tool benchmarks you against a set of global professionals, then tells you the capability holding your holistic performance back, and gives you a detailed action plan for improvement. There's nothing quite like it out there. Highly recommended (by many other consultants and professionals, not just by me 😅) if you are serious about your professional performance. getconsultingedge . com

October 7th 3 years later and we continue to live in a world and country where Jews are hated and constantly attacked. Despite this, Jews in Canada, in Israel and around the world continue to live with pride and dignity. Too few of our political leaders have the backbone to call out this evil by name and address it head on, without caveat or equivocation. To our Jewish friends and neighbours, know that you do not stand alone.

The worst thing social media did to this generation was make hardworking people feel secretly ashamed of having a corporate job. Every day, millions of capable professionals do high-impact work creating products and services all of you use every day. Then they log off, and scroll online... only to be shamed into thinking they are "wage slaves" because they are not running a solo startup or pitching a digital course. Soooo much BS. It is actually creating a silent mental health crisis, making people feel like failures for choosing stability and order and steady growth over isolated hustle. I think it is a dangerous narrative that is setting many up for burnout and financial disaster, except they will only find that out in a few years... Young people are being sold a total lie that 1-person startups are easy money. The reality is of course that solopreneurship is marketed as ultimate freedom, but for most, it is total isolation. You trade 1 corporate boss for 20 demanding clients, 0 benefits, no safety net, a constant background hum of financial anxiety, it's a 9-5 vs 24/7. I have been working in enterprise for two decades now, and actually just marked 10 years at my current firm. Let me tell you, it's great. While gurus sell fake $99 dreams online, I have spent 20 years getting paid to learn. I have built real compound wealth and operated at a scale a solo founder running on AI wrappers will likely never touch. Corporate is a paid masterclass. It is a protective moat and a foundation for a great life. "Oh but now with AI, everything will change!!!!" No it won't. It never does. It's never different. Or, better, it's always different and it always changes, and it is entirely up to you what you're going to make out of it. It is possible one day I will start my own thing. Sure. I think I'll be really good at it. But if/when I do, it'll be because the opportunity demands it, not because I let an online guru make me feel like a coward for having a steady income. The internet these days glorifies loud hustle over longevity. But if you are really successful, why would you need to post about your freedom every 5 hours?!! Instead... Consider doing it differently. Build your skills, compound your money, and call your own shots when you are ready. All the best.
