Geopolitics, macroeconomics, crypto, philosophy, history and resource mining. The world is restructuring itself in our lifetime. Understand the change.

My original blog, Philosophy of Metrics, was started at the end of 2013 and shut down in 2020. During those seven years, I had millions of visitors a month and wrote the equivalent of two Gone With the Wind novels in word count. I extensively wrote about geopolitics, macroeconomics, philosophy, history, and abstract thinking. Many of the topics I covered and predictions made are now a reality. Such as: 1. Dedollarization, or the unwinding of Bretton Woods. 2. The importance of Ukraine as a hinge between the East and West in the great war for Eurasia. 3. The growing prominence of BRICS+. 4. The spread of basic income guarantees. 5. A 30% increased risk of global war between 2020 and 2024. 6. A 75% increased risk of global war between 2025 and 2030. 7. The inevitability of sovereign debt restructuring. 8. Accurately predicted the Trump win and Brexit. 9. The growing internationalization of the Chinese renminbi. 10. The eventual break up of the EU and the Euro (not yet, but soon😉) I don't do a good job of promoting myself, so I wanted to capture some of this in an X post, as I intend to write about these topics now that the platform is more accommodating to such long-form content. It sets a good baseline for those who may not have encountered Philosophy of Metrics during those golden years. The transformation in the world today on the monetary and geopolitical fronts, not to mention the technological front, is too exciting not to write about and express my thoughts on. Hopefully, some of you find value in these thoughts.

@Rayzor967750522 @giulia12 Hey there pal. Nice to see you. The videos coming out of LA definitely remind me of the Fort McMurray fires. It’s crazy.

@giulia12 Thanks old friend. I'm pretty quiet nowadays but things are getting a little exciting finally. Ha.

No, I don't think this is the start of a golden age, nor do I think we are on the cusp of a civilizational collapse. We could have been. But I think we will fluctuate within a range of explosive growth and tight contractions for years to come. There will be geopolitical and economic ups and downs. Technology and the world is changing quickly, so there are a lot of variables, but we can look at trends. I see a trend now towards more collaboration. However, that could all change with one event. At the end of the day, our monetary system is broken and is headed toward some form of final conclusion. Whether that conclusion is destructive or productive will depend on many factors.

@giulia12 A North American Union was always a possibility at some point but I didn't expect it to come about in this manner for sure.

The greatest war humanity will ever fight will be the war to control our own minds. A war to keep the individual divine spark alive in each of us. This war has already been happening for thousands of years. Technological evolution within organics is about to amplify the war.

@Codeward1 @QuadJacksXRP That’s exactly it. Specific geology suggests specific resource deposits. Core sampling dials it in tighter. Then resource extraction plans are developed and executed based on the economics of getting it to market.

Interesting. I suspect such tariffs and other capital controls that may be implemented will be short-lived as America will need to do business with the growing BRICS+ economic sphere. Not to mention the need for BRICS+ to eventually restructure Western sovereign debt. It's late in the game.
