When an empire runs out of its own money, it is able to increase the supply of money. However, printing more money causes borrowing to increase creating a financial bubble. I urge you to watch “Principles for Dealing with the Changing World Order” on my YouTube channel in the comments below to understand how, and what it means for all of us.

Many people seem shocked by what’s happening, most recently in the Minneapolis and Greenland conflicts, though also in many other ways over the last year.

In my opinion, that’s because they don’t understand what’s going on with the breakdown of the post-World War II monetary, domestic political, and international political orders. This is happening in classic Big Cycle ways that have repeated throughout history and were laid out in detail in my book, Principles for Dealing With the Changing World Order, which I wrote about five years ago. In that book, I described how the Big Cycle unfolds in stages with clear characteristics, and I outlined the cause-and-effect relationships one can follow to identify where we are in the Big Cycle and what is likely to happen next.

With that

Hiring isn’t about guesswork — it’s about data. If you know what people are like, you know what you can expect from them. I systematized this process to help match the right people to the right jobs. And remember, the evaluation process never stops. @TheDiaryOfACEO

Developing an AI version of myself wasn’t easy. I’m very lucky because I wrote down thousands of principles that outline my thinking and values, so there’s a lot of content to use for training.

But it’s also important to curate it well. I spend hours each day looking at the answers it’s giving and asking myself it that’s what I would say, in the way I would say it. Through that work, the technology gets better and better over time.

When it comes to understanding markets, you need to step back and see the bigger picture. That’s why it’s so important to have a #gameplan for investing and long-term financial investments.

Ultimately, it’s all about human nature.

In my view, the biggest risk we face are our own selfish, mutually-destructive tendencies. If we’re able to rise above them and find compromises, we can avoid the worst possible outcomes.

But to do that, we need to stop fighting with each other and align on policies that improve conditions for everyone.
