Time to update  September 2018’s Peoplenomics 891-B where we outlined recent advances in anti-aging.  The “supplement cocktail” we approached while sniffing around last year is now making headlines.

Can we get another “one year drop on the future?”  Maybe so.There is much new data to review along with a “process discussion” covering how Elaine and I have constructed spreadsheets to manage our “anti-aging  supplement regimen.”  Oh, and our “analog” to that prescription-based life-extension cocktail.

Right to it after some headlines and the charts, where a chance of a replay of last year’s Back Christmas for the markets appears.  Don’t ask us why, though.  Ask the elves…

No, actually, I’m not kidding.  Our recent encounter with what can only be called a “time slip”  August 30th has actually yielded not only an interesting  set of data correlations but also deep-thinking on how “the Whole Thing (Universe) might work.

Sorry it’s such a long piece, but there’s a ton of concept to digest, So we will keep the news and ChartPack

Value Propositions and Economic Models today. Because we need to start at the very beginning of a product’s life-cycle if we’re to resolve the now-appearing conflict between economic efficiency on the one hand, and environmental efficiency on the other.

Because once you see the inherent conflict, we may be able to outline a new kind of “global econometric model” which might lead the entire planet (after a bumpy transition period) to a new sort of “economy” where there’s harmony between “economics” and “environmental constraints.”

Unless we get this figured-out soon, the entire world will continue riding “deeper and deeper into the Box Canyon” or disaster where slaughter of all things will take place.  From the Great Barrier Reef right down to the 3-year old child next door.

We know we need to change our thinking…but as always, that’s a product of habit and the how to change US stops us cold.

So, into that in greater detail after a few headlines and our morning view of the ChartPack for this holiday-foreshortened week…

Lemme see: The Corruption of Money and a Tremendous Woo-Woo event – mind-stretchers huh?  Seem grand topics to be immersed in over a Labor Day weekend, don’t they?

After all, who in ‘Merica doesn’t work for “money” save a handful of blessed people who have found “another way.”  And of those, isn’t woo-woo expected?

Mostly, this weekend is about supply, demand, and logical limits.  Including when time gets out of bounds like it did Friday afternoon, between 3 and 4 PM Central time, if you didn’t notice the change personally. 

Last one of this magnitude was 45-days ahead of 9/11…it’s like a “bow wave” of a huge emotional hit.  The sense of time changes in advance.  Or it was CERN…but more on this as we wander along, seeking…what?

First, a few headlines and our charts.  And we’ll use incredible restraint by not referring to our Dorian story coverage as a “few lines of blow…”

What could be bigger, right? You may not like the answer.

BecauseTrump walks the footsteps of Herbert Hoover, or so the world markets now worry.  Rates are again falling.  There’s a sense that history is on the precipice… right on the brink. And so we are.

Toss-in the problems of Hong Kong and the fall BREXIT of the UK and there’s every reason to point at the “trade war” as being the Biggest and Worst problem afoot in the world right now.  Why, even the Drudge headline about 40-year rates collapsing under 2% support the growing concern.

Unfortunately, it goes deeper than all these.  After we run through some headlines and the morning’s ChartPack, a discussion on the larger context of global war is due.

Yes, there may be something worse than the trade war out ahead of us.

The choices are ignorance, planning, which to us isn’t a choice, at all.

Today’s report may read like something out of a sci-fi book. But, I assure you it’s real.  Today we’ll be walking through an extremely odd  “teaching dream” I experienced Thursday morning in one of my “other lives.”

“Other Lives? AYFKM”

I warned you of the sci-fi angle, right?  If you haven’t read my book Psychocartography: Mapping the Human Dream” it won’t make sense.  But trust me, there are a few of your fellow humans around who have worked diligently on “remembering their dreams” and often, the recall is so good and just so damn crisp (in a “going to IMAX way) that upon waking into this shared “reality” it takes a day (or two) to get your feet back on the ground.

I think when you read this “trip report” you’ll understand clearly what “non-numeric mathematics is about and here’s another warning for you:  This may change how you think about history forever.

But first, the weekend “housekeeping items” including our headlines, a look at the markets through our “Aggregated markets” viewer, and then we’ll jump into one of the most instructive dreams I’ve ever experienced.  And that’s going a good ways…

According to the UrbanDictionary, the term springs from a posted definition from a UD contributor named conceitedAsHell) back in 2003.

Since this was “follow-up” week from my August 6 hernia mesh implant, which involved my personal science project in an attempt to ‘beat the laws of medicine’ I’ve been doing a lot of study on patientology. 

Not just as it relates to being a grand patient (doctors don’t get enough “up-side surprises” as I see it), but also to how we – as aging upright apes – take on this whole (increasingly likely) interaction process with the medical community as we age.

As a result, I’ve been working on generalizing a personal pro-active approach for Elaine and me – many details of which I think you’ll find interesting.  Especially one mental acuity protocol I call simply “the gauntlet.”

We’ll jump into this stuff just as soon as we roll through the midweek ChartPack and see if the news headlines make any more sense today than they did Tuesday.  Spoiler alert:  Don’t hold your breath…

The non-public part of Comms in the AfterCrash on UrbanSurvival today.  As that article notes, you will have to adjust to an entirely different information world in the event of “an actual emergency.”  No reason not to herd a few neuron bursts in that direction while we can.

A note from military affairs contributor warhammer on EMP sets the tone for this morning’s discussion of how one might successfully prep for an EMP or massive HGD (*hard grid-down) event.  We’ll be doing this one a budget and with a purpose.

To round-out the concepts in the UrbanSurvival piece.

After some headlines and a check of how markets ended this options expiration week.

It’s not a trivial question, not by any stretch. In an age of “instant anything” where we can buy anything our heart desires (and get free shipping with Prime) the question is intense.

The real answers, however, are quite elusive and, to a large extent, age-dependent and situational.

So this morning some “hybrid-thinking” where we look at a range of futures and begin on a path of  “goods acquisitions” to best use our meager funds for a semi-chaotic future.

After a few headlines, our Aggregate view of markets and assorted snide remarks about that which passes as “news” these days, we’ll jump in.

With a hernia surgery this week, inquiring minds wanted to know: “Can we cheat a bit on the recovery end?”  So off into research.

None of what is offered here is medical advice.  It is, however, a worthwhile line of inquiry.  So the next time you face a major health issue, rather than signing into the “victim role” the alternative is to ask a lot of  questions and build a research plan.  Just like you’d do with any other business problem, Keeping your doc in the loop, of course.

A few brief headlines, and an update on our chart series and then into the post-op world we go…where we’ll try, for a change,  NOT to keep you in stitches.

Ouch!  Day one after hernia surgery and a new idea hits:  We’re looking at a “Trump Policy” for our websites. Don’t panic.  I’m exploring aa proposed policy and putting out some ideas for subscriber-only for comment because they are really who we serve.  There are only a few hundred of them.

Point is, I want a policy to govern site comments so they don’t degenerate into ad hominem attacks.  Call me lazy, but name calling and unrelated Trump bashing has to go.  The last straw has been trying to blame Trump for the recent shootings.

Before we get into the “clean up the web” discussion of whether this is self-censorship or simply cutting down the “noise floor” of our future-scanning receivers and markets Replaying 1929 scenario, we will update our Aggregate Index approach to market charting refine the downside a bit more.  Headlines, coffee, and more.  All as I pencil out a post-surgery summary for Saturday’s report on “Wound Super-Healing?”

Yeah, I know:  Why not focus on Hong Kong? Can you do anything about it?  On the other hand… The risk of a pandemic global people-killer is not something we like to think about.

The good news, however, is that there is definitely a lot we can do about them.

Which we’ll get to after we eye some “blood on the charts” and wolf-down a few headlines and coffee as a warm-up.  Like we need it in mid-summer…

You can’t take it with you, but you don’t want to squander it, either.    So this morning, driven in part by my getting a 12-lead EKG prior to an upcoming hernia operation, we will look at how to win playing the “Old People” Money Game when age creeps into the upper double-digits.

There are a ton of choices possible when building a retirement program, but unfortunately, the playing field keeps getting “tipped.”  As a result, what looked like a good deal a few years back may not be so hot now or in the future.

This morning we go tip-toeing through them tulips.

After the requisite headlines and the charts, of course.
