AI isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about compounding what we know and making it accessible at scale. Over time, I’ve learned that the most valuable thing I can do is capture and refine my principles on life, work, geopolitics, and investing. Now, with my AI Twin, I’m able to extend that thinking into a public resource, available beyond my own time limitations.

Money is debt, and debt is money. It confuses a lot of people when I say that, but the mechanics are fairly straightforward.

A debt instrument is just a promise to deliver money in the future. What that money is worth determines the value of what you’re holding.

That’s why currency valuation is so critical, and why I think people need to pay more attention to it when thinking about the broader economy. @nikhil.kamath

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

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
