The Golden Rule
Image

Break Up Amazon? Why, Yes!
Image
I think Amazon Digital and Amazon Logistics, which would include the store, could easily be worth $3 trillion, combined, in five years. I also suspect Amazon’s current legal troubles would multiply if it tries to stay together. Continue reading

Internet “Free Speech” is Dead
Image
Online citizens are going to have to watch their backs and watch what we say. Freedom will be diminished. But ordered liberty will be established. Continue reading

The Downside of Energy Abundance
Image
Before you invest in renewable energy today, you need to look ahead. You need to see if your costs are going to be competitive – all your costs – in 2030 as they are in 2021. Continue reading

Resources and the New Era: What the Best Futurists Got Wrong
Image
The economics of abundance will define the 2020s. The need for human capital, for trained, empowered, and motivated brains, will define the economy of your time. You are the resource we have been looking for. Continue reading

T for Texas, T for Tech
Image
Politics follows the golden rule. He who has the gold makes the rules. Apple is now worth more than 10 times Exxon. Tech has the gold. So, tech rules. Everything else is details. Continue reading

1876: Original Sin, Republican Hell
Image
The Republican Party is now the KKK party. The Republican Party is now devoted, heart and soul, to overturning the Civil Rights era, to complete white, male, straight supremacy. Continue reading

Flexibility
Image
Conservatives have found common cause with religious extremists. Liberals have found common cause with government control of the economy. Both are wrong. Their fight threatens the very existence of the Republic. Continue reading

Thanksgiving

When the first lockdown hit, we were scared but not careful. When the second lockdown hit, we were careful but not scared. When the third lockdown hit, we were neither. Continue reading

The Greediest Generation

Cash Flow Rules The World
Image
The Cloud Czars throw off enormous amounts of cash flow and have minimal debt. Companies that looked at the cloud proposition in the traditional way, as something to be bought with debt, just said no to it. AT&T and IBM kept doing business the way they had been doing it before the Cloud. They were ruined by that decision, relative to the Cloud Czars. Continue reading

The Caudillo Model
Image
Nothing has threatened democracy in America more than ideas America itself has created. Nothing threatens it so much today as the Caudillo Model of government we first exported with the Monroe Doctrine. Continue reading

A Full Reset: The Tech Economy
Image
Working class people broke democracy in the name of trying to slow change that gave them what comforts they have. They have been conned into thinking Trump can create a state-controlled economy dedicated to their comfort and privileges. He can’t. He can only throw the Great Game of Nations to China. Continue reading

A Full Reset: I Was Wrong
Image
The mask is now gone. It can’t be remade. It lies at our feet, revealing the monster beneath. That monster has control over great wealth and great machines, but without wisdom, without some sense of right and wrong, its reign is destined to be briefer than that of any Chinese dynasty.

Kamala and the Cloud Czars

The idea of sitting for decades to scratch an ideological itch is ridiculous. A judge is not supposed to care who wins. Continue reading

Biden’s Solar Problem

You get to the future from the bottom up, making renewable power a consumer product, and energy harvesting a standard. You do it from the bottom up, making new discoveries open source. Continue reading

The Common Good
Image
No man is an island. No city is an island. No country is an island. We are all part of the main, and we need to act like it or the 22nd century will be ruled by cockroaches. Continue reading

The Phony Profession
Image
The business of journalism is to organize and advocate a place, an industry, or a lifestyle. Aggregate an audience around something it cares about, then use that credibility to sell them relevant products and services. Continue reading

The Great Panic of 2020
Image
The biggest support for right-wing idiocy is this smug assertion by liberal elites that “other people” are gullible, that only said elites have the “special knowledge” needed to protect the state from its enemies. It’s a profoundly anti-democratic attitude Continue reading

The Tides of History
Image
It’s because capitalism demands flexibility that Trump is doomed. The flexible political system of democracy buttresses capitalism, as our system of ordered liberty buttresses democracy. Continue reading
