Creating a Better World – We should at least try, right?
Aloha and Merry Christmas, First – Trump has to go. There is still no solid guarantee that will happen. He and his most loyal brown shirts are openly discussing insurrection. This even as he refutes that the huge Russian hack was huge or Russian – despite the evidence,...
AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the New World Order by Kai-Fu Lee – An Honest Review

Sapiens by Yuval Noah Hariri – An Honest Review
I just finished reading Sapiens by Yuval Noah Hariri. In my life, I’ve read many thousands of books. This is the one I wish everyone would read. Seriously. It had a few issues – but ultimately – at this moment in time, if someone were to ask me “What...
Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution by Klaus Schwab – An Honest Review
As a geek, a sci-fi lover, a futurist, a technology lover, a person with a fascination for humans and what makes us tick, and an investor – I am constantly on the lookout for what the next big thing, the next big disruption, or the next human-culture shattering event...
The History of the World and the Three Religions Which Rule It
I’m extremely bothered by the way we exist. It’s taken me a long time to realize that most people either don’t notice, don’t care, or are too busy trying to make a decent life for themselves or their loved ones to be able to spend time on these things....
A Manifesto of Peopolism
A Manifesto of Peopolism [pronounced {pee-ah-pol-ism}] For too long, humanity has boxed themselves into outdated and antiquated -isms that were created to describe different times, different strategies, and different human conditions than those which exist today. The -isms of yesterday are no longer useful – and in some cases...
An Open Letter to America’s Billionaires – Change Humanity’s Future
Dear Billionaires, I’ve done my best to join you, but so far – I haven’t even gotten close. The reason I’ve tried wasn’t because I want to be a rich guy with a big swimming pool and a fancy car collection. Nor is it that I want any of...
Predictions for 2020
Here are my predictions for 2020 – part fear, part hope, part visionary insight, part ridiculous 1) The economy will soar as Trump pulls out all the stops to give himself a huge re-election claim. 401ks will roar, records will be broken, regulations will be rolled back, hello Roaring...
Get Ready to Get Screwed!
I mean, technically, we’ve all been being screwed for a long time but things seem to be ramping up a bit. Here is what is coming: 1) Election meddling 2) Totalitarian attempts at refusing to lose election 3) Complete stock market meltdown 4) New ‘dot-com bubble’ explosion – tech...
Reflections on Sept 11th 18-years later. Dominators and Cooperators
The problems in the world can be traced to one group of people – no, it’s not an ethnicity, religion, or nationality. It’s a mindset. Dominators. Dominators are those who believe they should be able to force the world to do what they want. Not just single people but...
Top 10 Reasons to Vote for the Antichrist in 2020 U.S. Presidential Elections
1. You think kids should be in cages and families don’t have the ‘right’ to stay together when they seek asylum 2. You hate abortion for any reason unless it’s an abortion of a non-white or non-American person 3. You believe white people are naturally superior to non-white people...
The USA has fallen
I hope that I am wrong but it appears that my country is no more. The rule of law no longer applies in a country that was once a nation of immigrants but now puts immigrants in concentration camps. The president of the USA is a racist criminal who...
Things Have Gone Terribly Wrong for Humans
Listen apes, We’ve messed up in multiple big ways and it’s time we face the facts. First of all (because I’ve always heard it’s best to start a critique with a positive) we are amazing creatures. We have figured out how to harness fire, electricity, magnetism, and the elements....
We are cockroaches
Humans have filled every nook, crevice, and cranny of this beautiful planet. Our presence has almost never been an improvement over what was there before us. We chop and burn, blow up and pave, and hunt and exterminate wherever we go. Ultimately, we are like the cockroaches in Hawaii....
All Americans are Now Mentally Ill
I’ve come to the conclusion over the past few months, that almost all American’s currently living or in the work force are, on some level, mentally ill. This is not a scientific study, it’s simply an opinion. Personally, I am diagnosed with PTSD and high anxiety, due largely to...
The State of the World – March 2019
I’ve been very busy for the past month and I haven’t written anything here. Of course, that’s no surprise to anyone – we are all very busy. Very very busy. Especially in the United States and other developed countries. Personally, I think that’s by design – I believe it’s...
The Sky is Falling…the U.S. Government Shutdown Day 34
The U.S. Government has been shut down for 33 days now. The people who were hired to keep planes from smashing into each other, to keep people from taking guns and bombs and knives on planes, and the people who were hired to keep people with bad intentions from...
Toxic Masculinity and Gillette Razors
Let’s get a few things out of the way first – I’ve never been a big fan of Gillette Razors and I’m not likely to rush out and buy/not buy them because I like/dislike an advertising campaign. Razor brands (or any brands at all) have very little to do...
Predictions for 2019
I have a number of predictions for 2019. They are worth considering in any event. First a fun one – I think that in 2019, celebrity stock and crypto traders will become the new celebrity chefs. In the past most notorious traders have either been criminals or niche market...
As the Economy Goes – So Goes the Nation….
There’s that annoying phrase you hear every four years – “As Ohio goes, so goes the nation” or sometimes it’s “New Hampshire” – I was in New Hampshire once and I’ve been to Ohio a couple of times. I met some fine people in both places – but that...
