As far as being a great communicator goes... you got my attention.

I voted for him twice in the primaries. America will never know the greatness it missed.

The genius is in the ideas. Thanks for riding that horse for a LONG time! Your commitment is inspiring- I'll make sure it keeps going.

A friend worried that fiat currency destroyed the economy. In this essay, I explain why they have it backward: we've been stuck in gold standard knowledge and thinking in a fiat currency economy. That's the reason why wages stagnate while costs soar.

Sadly Trump's journey to authoritarianism has destroyed my family's Thanksgiving plans. I guess that's on-brand.

@umbrarchist.bsky.social Really have to thank you for sharing your ideas. I cite chevan.info/depreciation... often and use it as a centerpiece for showcasing long-term labor wealth-extraction when I try to educate people about macroeconomics and economic policy.

We already tried making humans into machines with SaaS workflows and ticket queues. Everyone lost. And now the real machines are here. AI can do a lot of things better than humans but here's what it can't do- and never will.

A generative human is someone who uses AI to amplify their capacity to create original insights, novel solutions, and new value rather than just consuming AI's outputs.

Since OpenAI's GPT-5 model started rolling out last week, people ask me the same thing: "How do I use AI better?" The answer is simpler than you think, but it requires a shift in how you approach the problem. Instead of focusing on techniques and pro

That was a brutal day.

2:15am: United says we’re departing at 2:45am. We’ve been delayed over 7 hours.

We boarded once, taxied, then returned to the gate because the crew timed out. That was hours ago.

They found a new co-pilot. But the pilot? “We don’t know if he’ll show,” said the supervisor.
