The Erosion of Foundational Values is the Threat

At the core of every society lie foundational values: the bedrock principles, beliefs, and norms that define its identity and guide the behavior of its members. For centuries, these values have shaped the ethos of nations, providing a sense of continuity, unity, and purpose. This point is logical and likely makes sense to most. However, […]

Manipulating Chaos for Political Gain

The challenge of overlooking history lies in the risk of failing to discern the recurring patterns that it reveals. I have provided several articles on this phenomenon over the years, but there is another pattern that we should probably discuss. It is a pattern of tyrants and authoritarians and how they manipulate chaos for political […]

The Complex Domestic Threat of China

Some seem confused about the potential threats that China poses to our great nation. Indeed, this is a complex topic, but we need some foundational understanding to help us truly appreciate the potential danger. Recently, I have been presented with several questions regarding this situation. As far as I’m concerned, if one person asks, many […]

Is Another Civil War Inevitable?

Civil War has been in the news quite a bit lately – both domestically and abroad. Prominent names and media outlets repeatedly discuss the possibility.

Embracing Knowledge and Technology for Liberty

Friends, it seems to me that we are at an interesting crossroads in history. However, many don’t know or appreciate where we came from, and most have no idea where we should be heading. This results in a feeling of being lost or confused. Moreover, most lack the necessary contexts and knowledge to make informed […]

Unveiling Historical Patterns

A Potential Forecast of Shifting Economies, Wars, and Prosperity In light of recent events, I have received numerous requests to share a little more about my projection model / strategic forecast model.

ChatGPT on Mass Shootings

Can ChatGPT teach us anything about mass shootings? Perhaps it can. I had an interesting conversation with ChatGPT about that very topic that I thought I might share with you. In the wake of the Nashville school shooting, where Audrey Hale had attacked a Christian academy and killed six people (including three children), some individuals […]

ChatGPT is No Health Expert

A calculator is a fantastic tool. However, it’s really sort of worthless unless you understand how to do the math in the first place. The numbers you get ultimately mean nothing unless you understand what you are either typing in or expecting to get out. This means that you need to know something about what […]
