New Crusades
What we have been witnessing is a re-invention of the Crusades when, once upon a time, Christianity was at war with Islam.
Our modern version is a stealth Islamic invasion of Christian Europe by Islamic immigrants en masse. But you are beginning to see the negative reaction of native Europeans to this onslaught.
It is the same story but will slightly different players. The story is Christianity versus Islam. The two are not compatible. The Crusades proved this once, but we are in the process of proving it once again.
Paradigm Shift
There is a real paradigm shift in the economy. It is composed of three aspects: office buildings underutilized with the advent of working at home, impact of AI, and inflation. No one really knows where all of this will lead, but it is moving in a very different direction than before.
Gratitude
When you are down, just think about what you are grateful for instead. There is always something to be grateful for. And then there is amor fati.
Raising Minimum Wage
What are the consequences of raising minimum wage? You’ve decimated the fast-food restaurants and diners and other thin-margin restaurants. The net result: tens of thousands of jobs gone.
The Democrats rally around this as a solution for the lower classes, but it just means fewer jobs available for people with minimal skills. So it means the lower classes are that much more desperate with fewer job opportunities.
Iran
Regime change soon.
Contentment
The more you are in the parasympathetic nervous system the more content you are.
Change
Only change never changes.
Old Age
You have to fight it with exercise for both the body and mind.
Iran
If Trump pulls off regime change in Iran, it will be his greatest achievement because it will mean stability and, dare I say it, peace in the Middle East — finally. But that’s a big IF. The Iranian people must rise up and overthrow the existing government at some point for this to happen.
Showmanship
Showmanship. A skill that’s very useful to a politician. Some have it, some don’t. And you can tell right away from the way they speak. The ones that have it speak with a lot of drama and are so convincing, even when they lie. The ones who don’t are bland and unconvincing, even when they tell the truth. But what I saw in the State of the Union speech was truly orchestrated showmanship, beginning with the men’s Olympic team and chants of USA, USA, USA. And metals of honor and other metals as well hyping nationalism. The whole thing was orchestrated by a pure showman — Trump. He definitely knows how to put on a show. That’s very very clear from this performance — not only his speaking but also how he orchestrated the whole program to produce a particular response. Trump the showman. No one can deny this.
