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.

At the Munich Security Conference earlier this month, the post-1945 world order was pronounced dead by most leaders. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said, “The world order as it has stood for decades no longer exists,” and that we are in a period “great power politics.” French President Emmanuel Macron echoed Merz’s assessment and said that Europe’s old security structures tied to the previous world order don’t exist and that Europe must prepare for war. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that we are in a “new geopolitics era” because the “old world” is gone.

The way I see it, we are in the Stage 6 part of the Big Cycle in which there is great disorder arising from being in a period in which there are no rules, might is right, and there is a clash of great powers. How Stage

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.

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.

The most important thing is that you have the life that you want to have. So, how you define success is important. There isn’t one path that’s right for everyone.

I was lucky in the sense that I fell in love with markets and playing the investment the game, which is what I’ve done for 50 years.

I recommend that people think about their own nature and what game they’d love to spend years playing. It’s okay to explore different paths—not everyone knows right away. Think of your journey as a process of discovery.
