The Easter Woo

In addition to the usual news analysis and cynical eyes on the markets, we venture off into woo-woo land today.  Holiday weekend, time for mind to wander, that sort of thing. As you will see, there’s some reason to do so.

As one AI explained “it may be a calibration event.”

If you’re not joining in the speculative side of speculation with us, here’s hoping you have a great Easter weekend..

ToT: Thinking on Thinking

In recent weeks, a couple of people have asked “How do you think like you do?”  Truth is?  Thinking is every bit as much a discipline, as going to the gym, say.  Some people talk about thinking – while other people never quite get around to it.

Before I finish up the rest of the book I’m currently writing (“Downsizing…“) I wanted to share a very quick overview of what will be a later chapter in the next book.  Which is on the evolution of Brain Amplifiers.

Since we have – at least for some – a three day weekend coming up, I figure this would be a dandy time to do some serious “thinking about thinking.”

After we roll with a few headlines – eye options and get ready for the market closure Friday.

I call it “QuackSmart: A Ducky Theory of Instant IQ Enhancement.”

Where to Hide?

With “Spring sprung” we have our weather eye to the coming year, or three.  Asking – as any reasonable person would – Where is the safest place to deploy hard-earned assets to save you money purchasing power and get it to the “Other Side” of whatever comes next?

Some of the traditional hidey-holes have changed so we kick off the emerging focus with a look at some of the choices out there.

When you couple the outlook with some of the headlines about Iran and a possibly divided Ukraine to come, and then add in some weather outlooks, a muddle-through appears.  Apparition-like for now, but even a foggy aim-point is better than none at all, we reckon.

Toss in the ChartPack and there will be plenty of thinking points for the rest of the weekend, we’re sure..

Trust the Future, Do You?

Seriously, we don’t.  No more than we trust edicts and pronouncements.  Encyclicals from the untrustworthy.  We’re out there with Diogenes, looking for the honest souls. Empty-handed, mostly.

The good news, such as it is, has it that this morning’s Focus Section – 20-odd pages on how bad the next couple of years could be – can be safely taken off your reading list.  Besides, sheep can’t read.

A bit less droll is our market outlook, where our natural-born optimism is tempered by digits. Today is a Bank Reserve Settlement Day – sometimes a moment of volatility – and then there’s tomorrow’s CPI read.

All boils down to a “This could be bad…”  Seeing that, it’s cinch ’em up and ride time.

20 Men from Disaster

It would be audacious – but is there some player who would “kick America when she’s down?”In our “worst cases” department, some scenarios that could be lurking out of sight – and out of mind – until next week,  That’s when markets could get down to an approachable “bounce” level.

But from there?  The old saying is “Crashes don’t come at market tops – they come at lows – major support.  It’s when those fail that the future can shift in dramatic and unpredictable ways. We arrive there next week.

Of course that’s our 20 some pages of charts – and to be honest, hard telling at this stage, which presents the scariest future potential.

Extensible Explorations

Extensible Explorations: A.I, Energy, and the New Domain Frontier.  It’s a kind of “Brave New World” and has come into view due to recent research work in my “Old Man Labs.” Driven by some interesting and at times frightening engagements with:

  1. AI coauthoring of a 34-page medical paper on Charged Body (Blood) Theory.

  2. A new paper posted today exploring Qi Gong (TCM) and its parallels with Western electro-medicine.

  3. Publication of PLAYBOOK: The War We Didn’t Win, now downloadable free via the Master Index.

  4. Feedback on the newest book from members of The Hidden Guild.

  5. AI-based design generation using voice commands.

  6. New collaborative investigations with at least five doctors into South Florida’s blood anomalies.

In all, a ton of work. Plus, while all this has been piling on, there’s the downward drift in Markets – which we’ll explore in more than two dozen pages of the ChartPack .PDF today.

Notas long as last Tuesday’s report, but you won’t need a grounding in medicine to follow-along, either.

Two cups – maybe three? – of coffee?  Well, how could that hurt, right?

Tariff Burn vs. Rug Burn?

We don’t like to bring up the past, but are we the only ones to remember G7, 2019?  Speculative, of course. But to the Developer Personality, well the “long grudge” isn’t just a half-baked notion.  It’s a chapter in the playbook.

Honestly, picking up market remains in the ChartPack after Friday’s washout ain’t hard.  the track of 1929 is still very much in play.

Then we explore current research on geomagnetism for those of us who felt “the earthquake tireds” ahead of the devastating Myanmar quake.

So for today, plan on a single cup it you can read a scandal sheet and 20-odd pages of charts, then your blood pressure may be lower than mine.

A Peoplenomics Subscriber Note

I was very pleased – satisfied even – to see the headline on the Wall St. Journal site today:

The Era of Cheap Stuff Was Already Ending. Now Comes the Tariff Threat.  – WSJ

This is precisely the problem outlined in the book The-100 Year Toaster which was serialized on Peoplenomics.  If you are a recent subscriber, this series of book chapters was serialized with major early-chapter concepts found in:

While we applaud Trump’s endorsement conceptually, there is a terrible reality on the far side of durability.

Simply put:  When the high-consumption model fails, what will humans do in order to be “value-adders?”  Somewhere in the archives (2007, I think it was) “Dr. Ron’s Leisure Class” appeared.  It was a Utopian possibility. In fact, still is…

Opponents of America, however, are working a high-level plan.  They seem intent on “burning it all down” which – naturally – will give every able human something to do. It will be required and as the WEF’ers admit, you’ll be happy with it.  Because in their power and financial domains, it’s from that that value springs.  Give the leach class something new to steal.

There is, however, another Way.  An alternative solution.

We can raise of planet of monk-like followers of Mind.  Continuing on the path of petulant children – burning down the Future to return to a knuckle-dragging past – a strategy that has almost no probability of getting us to the stars.  A breakthrough thought? Partnering with A.I. while keeping it firewalled from the levers of power and control?  Mighty damn appealing path forward, is it not?

In my latest book (a 6-hour intensive multi-AI jaunt (Playbook: The War We Didn’t Win), I sketch out from of the pieces and fit them into a tentative “design pattern” revealing a possible nexus of the so-called Deep State around financially rich remnants of the failed Third Reich which history is coming to slowly admit reconstituted offshore.

The problem then may be repositioned as follows:

  • Will Humans ‘burning it all down’ such that, after being “harvested financially” yet again, go back for another round of indenture?
  • OR will the alternate track arise: An awareness that the greatest breakthrough in World War II was not nuclear weapons? A way of thinking – Domain Thinking – is far more the powertool of those who would reframe Reality.

Sadly, President Trump has not articulated the natural consequence of strict adherence to quality. Because as long as the (remnant) Deep State survives, the less likely a brighter future becomes.

In my book (100-Year Toaster) I used the example of Checker Motors.  They made a reliable “1-million mile passenger car.”

I will put PLAYBOOK up in the Peoplenomics library next week. Another extended thank you for that $40/year subscription to another way of considering Life.  The download today will be deactivated though it may migrate to Kindle this week. Not to make money but to ensure persistence.

Write when you get rich, but please remember:  the Frontier is between your ears.  We all need to be asking “Are you in charge of this Domain?”

Time grows short.

Concept-Bridging Medicine

Our first major use of A.I. as a “brain amplifier” is to construct a “Medical Paradigm Concept-Bridge.” Where we concept several treatment modalities (PEMF, scalar devices, and other forms of electro-medicine) as a whole and produce a useful new paradigm.

This may seem a bit far afield from our usual economic fare, however core doctrine here demands we begin with “Must Be Present to Win!” Translating to “If we have to beat aging” then we might find a new medical superstructure useful.  Which, in turn makes this a Part 1.

Then, in Part 2, we will bridge  Western-style Electro-Medicine with Qi-gong and TCM.  Too early? Traditional Chinese Medicine.

As we go, we’ll frame use of collaborative A.I. (that makes such grandiose efforts work) cast in their proper roles as “Brain Amplifiers.”

As one subscriber in the review process hinted, “A.I. seems headed to the same place as nuclear power.”  Hard to live without it now, but tons of risks and potential for mushrooms along the way.

Naturally, a few headlines in (what passes for) news. Plus the ChartPack. Where we follow “The 3-Carriers East Rally.”

Last, but not least, back on the Brain Amplifiers track, remember the computer in 2001?  Today, we’ll look in on what Anti-Dave has been crafting, too.

Ouija Board Economics

The frantic first couple of months of Trump has left a lot of people wondering what the Future holds.  We won’t have time to prosecute every possible permutation, but we can ponder pointedly probabilistic potentials.

Snow-plowing our way into Tomorrow Land, the headlines are the snow poles by which we steer. Along with the weekend’s ChartPack, of course.

The Secret Life – of Death

Sure it’s Fed Day, but isn’t the history and origins of Death also kind of, oh, pertinent to all of us? While trying to game the market is fun, sure, there’s always that damn “clock running in the background.”  It will toll for every one of us, eventually.

As we amble through Life trying to gin-up a “good Life Review” purpose (and ‘game film’) it makes sense to inspect the clock, once in a while. Which is what we do today. Ideas for the watchmakers.

On top, that is the Fed Day ChartPack. Nearly two dozen snaps of financial entrails. Though, any inferences will have to be taken with an eye toward the Fed’s rate decision time this afternoon.

Only a handful of headlines are necessary to “stay between the snow poles” for now. Unless, like so many partisans, you really believe the fairytale that political BS matters.  We tend to just wait for the checks to sort that out.

Bracing for Next Week

Options, war talks, FOMC rate signals? What could go wrong? Today we play “Line up the Ducks” and with our ChartPack, skry some tea leaves and ponder “divine future.”

While we do that, a space rescue and some mighty-strange weather deserve some attention, too.

Do be advised that the ChartPack is significant this week (69-pages of text and charts).  But it’s not that b i g because it’s a large, easy to read font in the PDF.

Two Grim Perspectives

If the coming War with China and locked in to Target Zone life isn’t enough, how about a Second Depression, then? Today we have articles on all three prospects.  No, not reading for the faint of heart.

We provide a very long report today comprised of three major topics.

First, a repeat of a Comments post by Reader Stephen2 on risks in the upcoming war with China.  In this section, we speculate (with A.I. modeling’s) as to how much the timeline could accelerate because of Chinese losses to Covid which are not widely appreciated as a) being a U.S. intel op into Wuhan, and one that 2) may have cost China 100-million deaths.

This section explains how China is both Pissed (who wouldn’t be?) but also interested in pursuit of a “least cost war.”

The second aspect of note (with a few headlines along the way) is our ChartPack.  Where the road to Depression 2 – the Greater Depression continues to resolve into view.

And third?  We wrap up with how people who can’t make Big Moves in life (anticipating times going south for all) may have a few “muddle through options that might be employed now – even if addicted to Big City Medicine outlets for life sustaining treatments.

Yeah – a hard issue to write.  and long, too.  In fact (for nonsubscribers info) it’s north of 7,500 words today.  think of it as “a 10th of a book” – NOT counting two dozen pages of charts…
