My daily routine starts perceptually early when I am in Europe and perceptually late when I am in Montana. The world is currently rotating on the narratives of American Eastern Standard Time and that means I try to rotate with it too. Alas part of me has always oriented my circadian rhythm around the full […]

I read some Charles Dickens today. No this isn’t a Great Expectations joke. Rather, I read the first seven paragraphs of his 900 page novel Bleak House. Why? I wanted to test my literacy as part of social media’s great ongoing debate about humanity’s waning reading and writing abilities. A Substacker & Twitter personality broke […]

Day 1247 and For The Uncertain
If you have concerns about the instabilities abroad and at home in America, I am here to be of service. Being a Cassandra is a curse but when the moment arrives you are at least well prepared. And so if you’d like to chat about things like moving to Montana, being prepared for disasters natural […]

Day 1083 and Uncertainty
I feel as if I spend a lot of time reassuring people that nobody has a clue about what happens next and that’s fine. Even the brightest humans are still basically dim witted simians barely managing our fragile wetware as our environment provides constant destabilization. That we even survive that set of circumstances seems a […]
If you watch me closely (which would be weird but I make it easy enough) you have surely noticed I spend much of my life traveling. I’ve got no training in psychology but it sure seems like a certain personality type takes their childhood traumas and does exposure therapy till it becomes enjoyable. I had […]
I have more than one founder in my portfolio who has struggled with basing their businesses in America because U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services is barely functional. My own family has been affected on the personal front. I’m proud America is so desirable a destination. But we can’t be such a dysfunctional one. That makes […]
This Thanksgiving I am feeling particularly grateful for the exceptions in my life. My world is filled with the exceptionally rare. Rare people, insights, businesses, and outcomes are part of building something genuinely new. I suspect I’ll have to justify my faith in investing in and introducing new technologies to the world. We are doing […]

Day 1780 and Being Cooked
I’m starting to think the more optimistic you are about the future, the more cooked you think we are. I didn’t expect this. The Doomers have a coherent worldview. It’s simple to imagine involving losing your humanity to machines. This is at least legible and a call to our common humanity. Change is scary and […]
An auspicious pair of numbers for today’s date and I started something new which has been in the works since January began today. Our long awaited hyperbaric chamber has arrived and been fully set up in our yellow barn. It feels good to begin a positive focused wellness activity after what was otherwise a chaotic […]

Day 1696 and Unk-Unks
Older millennials from families that watched the news may remember the infamous Donald Rumsfeld quote about unknown unknowns. I’ll include the full quote from the Secretary of Defense about the lack of evidence for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Reports that say that something hasn’t happened are always interesting to me, because as we […]
