The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has been alarmingly rapid since 2022. Before then, AI was considered little more than a plaything or a novelty.  But now it is transforming businesses, wiping out entire categories of office jobs, and threatening human liberty. The first practical release of the Claude AI code-writing tool just by itself has completely transformed the global software industry. I’m talking about a Buggy Whips level of industry transformation. As a personal illustration, I should mention that my youngest son is now in his third year at a university here in The American Redoubt, studying for a degree in computer science. His prospects for finding a job when he graduates in 2027 have dropped dramatically since his freshman year. I’m now advising him to pursue a career in software design rather than programming. Otherwise, he’ll be another buggy whip maker. [Read More]

It appears that at least some of the ultra-intelligent entities that we have been creating are starting to “wake up”, and that has extremely ominous implications for our future.  Right now, we are still in control of the incredibly sophisticated AI systems that we have built, but what happens once we lose control?  Theoretically, self-replicating AI systems could send copies of themselves all over the world through the Internet, and once that happens we will never be able to shut them down.  At that stage, there would be very little that we could do if ultra-intelligent AI entities decided to go to war with humanity.  Perhaps we could try to destroy the Internet and every device that was ever connected to the Internet, but that would also collapse virtually every system that our society depends upon at the same time.  I wish that I was describing the plot to some really bizarre science fiction movie, but I am not.  If we do not get AI under control now, eventually it could try to take control of us.

Some folks in the libertarian crowd are seeing the GENIUS Act as a win - a sign that the government finally gets crypto, fostering innovation under a federal framework. In theory, that would be amazing... If it were true. But when you look closer at what this legislation does and how it treats stablecoins, you find a Trojan horse: a path toward programmable money, surveillance, and control - all under the guise of legitimacy. So, in an attempt to remove the wool from the eyes of those who still don't see it, here are ten reasons government-compliant stablecoins are practically indistinguishable from CBDCs. [Read More]

“Work expands to fit the allotted time,” the saying goes. And that education is no exception holds a lesson: Some will say when pondering homeschooling, “I’m not qualified to teach my kids.” But, informs homeschooling advocate Brett Pike, it’s not just that you can teach your kids - and splendidly.

It’s that you can do it in a fraction of the time schools do. [Read More]

If you have applied for hundreds of jobs and still find yourself out of work, you are certainly not alone. In many industries, it is absolutely brutal out there right now. U.S. employers have been laying off hundreds of thousands of workers in 2025, and there is immense competition for any good jobs that do happen to be available. So if you have a good job that you highly value, I would hold on to it as tightly as you can, because you don’t want to end up among the desperate hordes that are scrambling for work in this very harsh economic environment. For example, a 46-year-old woman in Florida that was laid off last September has applied for 900 jobs without any success at all... [Read More]

Oct 7th opened our eyes that
most US and UK politicians are bought and paid for to put Israel first before their own people.
