Greetings,

If I had to pick this week's winning Trump moment it would have to be his zoomed in speech to the Davos crowd. He told the wealthy unelected rulers that the jig was up and, one by one, crushed their dreams of world domination.

AI governance is a given but he was letting them know that it would not be them who would be wielding it. As far as a digital currency goes, he signed an executive order prohibiting CBDCs if YOU were paying attention.

AI governance is not a "given," we always have choices FFS.

Yes, just like cell phones, credit cards, and cars. You don't have to use them. You could become a hermit, living in weedy lots and eating at soup kitchens. Or hell, become an Amish man.

And you think those are bad life paths? I would literally give my right arm to have been born into an Amish family living in a stable loving community with a connection to God with a diet of good clean food, and a life full of healthy exercise on the job. Do you really think the Amish are worse off than your average American urbanite or suburbanite, who spends his free time when not at an office cubicle job, doom scrolling and eating food with poison seed oils in it? You need my essay: substack.com/@whispertr…

So no to being a hermit in an urban wilderness? Good points about the Amish, but they have their share of sexual abuse and mental illness.

Og wanted to be a Sioux warrior in the 1700's. How about that instead?

I am a hermit in an actual wilderness and have had bears in my yard, does that count?
