Human Supremacy In Perspective
Humanity is not at the top of the food-chain, forcing us to reconsider how we must point the arrows of human development into comprehending and adapting to how nature works and rules us. Systematically.
Humanity’s One-Hundred-Year-Old Challenge
To save humanity from early extinction, we must realign the vectors of human expansion to the way nature evolves and improve human adaptability to combat the decline of available energy induced by nature’s entropy.
The Vile Maxim Of Sustainability
A religion promulgating sustainability violates nature's rule and leads to the "all for me and nothing for anyone else" we must eradicate to improve humanity.
A new normal designed to improve human adaptability to nature's entropy
Foundational Depravity
I listened to today's podcast from the World Economic Forum called The Great Reset: Financing a Sustainable Recovery. For a real reset, guaranteed to improve humanity, I suggest you watch my recent interview instead.
Redirecting The Vectors Of Humanity
Humanity must point all of its vectors designed to expand the fractal of human ingenuity in a single direction.

Free Freedom
Freedom itself must be freed from its current narrow definition and outright misplaced control, if we want the bravery of its pursuit to be responsible for the invention of a much brighter future.
Al Gore’s Allegory Of A Sustainable Climate
Al Gore preaches the confounding of consequence and cause of sustainability, nonexistent anywhere in our universe. Let's set him straight to not induce another infinitely expanding tautology.
Out With The Lies
We, humans, tell ourselves some grandiose lies and then act surprised when things do not quite work out as advertised. We must reinvent the systems holding us hostage.
Nature Controls Us
We must induce a new humanitarian compass to better adapt to nature’s entropy.
How Can Facebook Be Regulated And Enforced?
A smart Facebook employs a different approach, one that avoids it being slapped with malformed regulation or outright rejection.
Is 16 GB of RAM (in your computer) overkill?
No. The more memory the better, as I explain developing C++ apps on Unix a long time ago.
Normalizations For Dummies
The quest to discover the highest normalization of nature's truth dramatically improves human adaptability to nature's entropy, and thus prolongs human life on earth.
Relativity For Dummies
Relativity is easy to understand. So, let me explain its most rudimentary form determining the evolution of (almost) everything in the universe, as discovered by Albert Einstein one-hundred years ago.
Entropy For Dummies
Entropy is the irreversible process subjected to the evolution of all objects, animate and inanimate, in our universe. A process perhaps best visualized by the explosion of fireworks.
Former Fed Chief Found Economists “Useless”
The opportunity to reinvent economics is wide-open if the people associated can detach themselves from an outdated normalization of truth.
For Our Economy To Succeed, Classical Economics Must Die
Classical economics is a religion stuck in the perpetuity of undesirable consequences, void of any connection to cause.
Why Democracies Fail Or Succeed
A democracy must be subjugated to evolutionary first-principles to improve humanity.
The Musical Chairs Of Financial Asset Management
Today's asset allocation in finance resembles the musical-chair game. Before the music stops you better have your eye on a seat.
Setting A New Goal In Venture
If we as investors do not change our investor tactics and produce real socioeconomic value, it is inevitable that venture capital will descent even further into micro-PE, and suck the risk and returns out of performance.
Why 99.4% Of Venture Capital Firms Fail
The vast majority of venture capital firms fail to produce consistent venture style returns to their limited partners. Here is why.
How Sub-Prime VC Stings Twice
Venture capital has turned subprime. Do not get caught in its web of lies.
Apple’s Stance On Encryption Is An Attack On Freedom
Apple's stance on encryption violates a modern relativity theory of freedom by which government can work to prevent present dangers and stave-off the future systemic fallacies of an untenable absolutism of freedom.
Why I Don’t Follow Anyone (On Twitter)
My answer is that Twitter suffers from the barking-dog syndrome. Twitter should have developed a dynamic meritocracy by which it explores the ever expanding fringe of human interests, not stimulate the mediocrity of spiraling collusion of thought.
Silly Venture, Surfing The Waves
The existing improprieties in venture capital only exist because we have deployed a piecemeal market model, reminiscent of the Wild West. We can cure its systemic disease, by implementing operating principles to enforce the "capture" of outliers.
Not Everyone Can Be An Entrepreneur, But An Entrepreneur Can Come From Anywhere.
To find an outlier through a commoditized investment thesis is a moronic endeavor.
To Lead Or Not To
We need to elevate the practice of leadership to show the world who we really are.
Big Tech Versus Big Politics
Structural solutions and shortcuts are available to resolve our nation's impasse with two-faced technology companies. Cures I have been prescribing for twelve years. It is never too late to get real.
A New Norm Comes From The Top
Katy Perry for President, was my first thought when I heard the celebrity singer in an interview with Howard Stern demand a reprioritization of life around the principles of nature. Let me explain how. Go, Katy! You already look much better than Kanye West!
Hotel CalPERS
CalPERS' problems are not the players but its investment game. Macro over micro. Cause over consequence.
On Transparency In Finance
Transparency is a rule, a consequence, not the goal of finance. A humanitarian goal of finance in dire need of instilling on its anointed operators.
Why ESG Is A Dangerous Religion
Why is it, that a thesis of finance eleven times the size of production does not get vetted and scrutinized?
Facebook, L’Enfant Terrible
Facebook is like an infant with parents strung out on drugs, the child sadly left to its own devices. Courtesy of freedom detached from paradoxical rules, the epitome of unfreedom. I blame the child's parents, mostly, as in all cases where the parents are not keeping a watchful eye over the children they proclaim to love so much. Oh, how I have seen this scenario unfold before.
A Bose NC700 Redemption Song
Credit where credit is due from a new firmware update breathing new life into Bose's over-the-ear active noise-canceling headphones released last year.
Why Technology Cannot Arbitrate Or Build Systems Of Arbitrage

Cheap Divisive People
I would not trust any politician who treats the problems with the U.S. Postal Service using skin-deep easy-peasy talking points. Reaffirming the need for a litmus test for politicians once again.
Sean Penn Is A Good Man
I like Sean Penn for his stance on the meaning of life, his acting, and the work he is doing to pick-up the slack on pandemic relief. Authentic curiosity and empathy for the human condition driving his efforts. Hats off.
Dauphin Summers
Economists, like Larry Summers, have a tendency to make shit up after a threat appeared unexpectedly in their rear-view mirror, for their modus-operandi is to deploy an extrapolation of hindsight sold as foresight to break the norm. Be forewarned, as an expert on ill-conceived consequences is merely a rebel without a cause.
Four Things To Not Change The World
Out come the charlatans of change vying to change the world. Do not be fooled by the old resold as new.
Venture Pitch Deck Review
A review of a VC pitch deck used to raise money from an LP reveals how the performance problems in the venture sector are derived from grandfathered risk mismanagement.
Accelerating Infinite Regression In Asset Management
As I explain in The Evolution of Evolution, when humanity merely evolves downstream, from an existing normalization of truth, get ready for infinite regression. That is my stern warning to Dutch funds, APG and PGGM, promoting an AI-driven investment platform for asset-owners.
Family Offices Are Tired Of Conferences – Something Else Is Needed
Something else is needed indeed, a unique investment thesis that makes your arbitrage as different as the families you represent. Dare to be different, or go home.
Friend Or Foe Of Private Equity
Merely to question PE performance is considered heresy, a charge that should be reversed to put a religion of finance on notice to change immediately and fundamentally. We have come to the rescue.
I Told You So: India Bans 59 Apps
I warned technology companies five years ago. The days are numbered thinking you can sell the equivalent of sugar-water to the world and expect to get away with spawning yet another mind-numbing addiction that accelerates an anthropogenic cascade.
Apple Makes Me Yawn
Nothing in this announcement demonstrates how Apple improves the human condition, the gist of the announcement being "what took you so long?"

Either not subjugated to our evolutionary objectives is merely a rebel without a cause.
Has Barack Obama Benefited The Economy In The Long-Run?

What Are The Most Significant Flawed Assumptions In Economics?
Its depravity of reason.

The question I posed to Facebook in a live session. Still no reply.
