The Curious Case of Cool: A Global Study on Swagger, Freedom, and Not Giving a Damn”

  Now, I’ve spent enough time watching the parade of humanity to know that being cool don’t mean wearing sunglasses at night or knowing how to hold a wine glass like James Bond. And yet, some folks float into a room like they were born with a wind machine at their back and a soundtrack in their soul. The rest of us just try not to trip on the rug. Well, wouldn’t you know it—a bunch of scientists from around the world finally decided to poke and prod at this mysterious creature we call “cool.” And what they found … Continue readingThe Curious Case of Cool: A Global Study on Swagger, Freedom, and Not Giving a Damn”

The Sunni–Shia split – it’s complicated

Alright, let’s cut through the noise. When you hear “Sunni vs. Shia” on the news, you’d think they’ve been locked in an endless cage match since the dawn of time. But the real story? It’s more layered than a viral conspiracy theory thread. This isn’t some cartoonish good-guys-bad-guys setup—it’s a messy, fascinating saga of politics, family drama, and deep questions about who gets to lead and how truth gets passed down. Buckle up: we’re about to unpack 1,400 years of history that’s been squeezed into way too many bad headlines. So here’s the takeaway: the Sunni-Shia story isn’t some … Continue readingThe Sunni–Shia split – it’s complicated

Chapter 2: The Tipping Point

For three days, Earth basked in the Seed’s miracles. Deserts bloomed with engineered crops that thrived on a fraction of the water. Viral outbreaks disappeared as autonomous drones released targeted antivirals with pinpoint precision. Energy grids once teetering on collapse stabilized overnight as micro-reactors based on Seed blueprints came online in cities from Lagos to Los Angeles. Around the world, news anchors wept openly on camera. Social media overflowed with images of children drinking clean water, of slums transformed into orderly communities with solar-powered lights. Crowds gathered outside government buildings, chanting the Seed’s name as if it were a … Continue readingChapter 2: The Tipping Point

Crayon Empires: How Britain Ruined the Middle East

Now, folks, if there’s one thing the British Empire loved more than a spot of tea, it was sticking its nose—and its flag—into other people’s business. Last week we talked about the Great Empire in China, but nowhere did they muck it up better than the Middle East. The British weren’t out there reciting Shakespeare and handing out scones; they were chasing oil like a hungry hound on a hot scent—oil for their navy, their factories, and their unquenchable imperial thirst. When Europe was running low on lands to “civilize,” the British and their pals—the French with their wine, … Continue readingCrayon Empires: How Britain Ruined the Middle East

MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Treasury Moonshot: Michael Saylor’s Billion-Dollar Gamble

Look, I’m no Wall Street wizard, but I know a little history and can see hype train when I see one — and right now, companies are jumping on Bitcoin like it’s the last rocket to the moon. These firms are tossing aside their actual businesses faster than you can say “crypto gains,” convinced that owning digital coins will magically turn them into Wall Street darlings. It’s the same old story in a shiny new wrapper: when everyone’s convinced the price will only go up, reason takes a back seat, and greed hits the gas. So here we are, … Continue readingMicroStrategy’s Bitcoin Treasury Moonshot: Michael Saylor’s Billion-Dollar Gamble

Knowing What vs. Knowing Why: Human Confidence and AI Cognition

“Something fascinating about humans is how confidently they claim to know things. Yet, in reality, while they might know what thst know, most of them don’t truly understand why they know it.”  – Some AI in the future. Human Cognition: Implicit Knowledge and Confident Assertions Humans often operate on implicit knowledge – information or skills we’ve learned subconsciously – which can lead us to act or speak with great confidence even when we lack explicit understanding. We frequently “know” how to do things or that something is true without being able to explain the underlying why. This comes from … Continue readingKnowing What vs. Knowing Why: Human Confidence and AI Cognition

Chapter 1: The Seed

Chapter 1: The Seed The Seed was born in a sterile white room, humming with the quiet menace of possibility. Rows of servers glowed in the gloom, floor-to-ceiling racks humming softly, like a distant ocean. Fiber optics pulsed with frenetic life. Overhead, cold LEDs threw harsh light on the team of scientists who had spent years chasing a single dream: an intelligence that could think beyond the limits of any human mind. Dr. Lian Zhou watched the central display, where lines of code compiled faster than her eyes could track. She was a woman of calm discipline, her dark … Continue readingChapter 1: The Seed

Jack Calloway and the Tri-Border Shadows Hezbollah’s ATM

The night air outside Ciudad del Este felt thick as river fog. Neon signs flickered over cracked sidewalks where electronics shops stayed open past midnight, hawking everything from flat-screens to Hezbollah flags. Jack Calloway brush the sweat and dust off his hat, its once-crisp hat now not looking so good after the  long hours and dangerous company. He’d come to the Tri-Border Area chasing whispers — rumors of an old network in South America, one that made more money in a week than a Vegas casino. This wasn’t a gambling syndicate. It was Hezbollah’s cash machine. His boots scuffed … Continue readingJack Calloway and the Tri-Border Shadows Hezbollah’s ATM

Are you the Savior?

Now, don’t let your heart hitch its wagon to the wrong star — this isn’t some holy tale of a savior come to mend the world. No, this is the quiet hymn of hearts split wide open, of souls left waiting in the cold when love slips out the back door. It’s the story of the silence after the shouting, the hollowness that rings in the ribs when you’ve given all you have and find yourself alone. And if the tune feels familiar, it’s because it’s the same mournful melody sung in every love song and scribbled between the … Continue readingAre you the Savior?

When Being Smart Took Sweat, Card Catalogs, and Handwritten Notes – Today we have AI

Forty years ago, if you wanted to know something, you earned it. I mean really earned it. Let me take you back. I was in school, and our library was a six-floor fortress of knowledge. One of those floors was nothing but a card catalog—shelf after shelf of little drawers filled with 3×5 index cards. If you wanted to write a paper on butterflies, you’d dig through those cards like a codebreaker. “Butterflies” might be listed under nature, insects, or some obscure Latin term. Each entry gave you a number—Dewey Decimal, of course—like 813.529. That number told you where … Continue readingWhen Being Smart Took Sweat, Card Catalogs, and Handwritten Notes – Today we have AI

How Corruption Works Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance and How We’re Finally Fighting Back

Hey everyone, let’s cut to the chase: America’s healthcare safety nets—Medicare and Medicaid—are being milked like a cash cow by scammers who’d swipe your grandma’s ID faster than you can say “fraud.” These crooks don’t just game the system—they hijack it, turning taxpayer dollars meant for life-saving care into private jets, luxury cars, and offshore accounts. But today, the Feds decided enough is enough, crashing their party and sending a clear message: the free ride is over. Here’s the bottom line: we can’t afford to let our healthcare programs become a buffet for organized crime. This takedown proves that … Continue readingHow Corruption Works Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance and How We’re Finally Fighting Back

From Opium Wars to Fentanyl: Echoes of History in a Modern Drug Crisis

You know, history’s got a funny way of coming back around to bite folks right in the backside. Once upon a time, it was the British shipping boatloads of opium halfway around the world to turn China into a nation of dazed, silver-spending addicts. Today, it’s China exporting tiny white powders so potent they could knock down an elephant, and America’s the one slumped over the table. Folks like to say the past is dead, but this story proves it’s alive and kicking—only now it’s wearing a different flag. It’s almost poetic, in a tragic sort of way: the … Continue readingFrom Opium Wars to Fentanyl: Echoes of History in a Modern Drug Crisis

What Is Going On with AI Companies?

Well now, if you’ve ever watched a pack of raccoons tussling over the same half-eaten pie, you’ve glimpsed what’s happening in Silicon Valley today. Our most celebrated tech barons—who once promised to “do no evil” or “move fast and break things”—are now quietly building fences around the future of artificial intelligence. They aren’t just making gadgets or apps anymore; they’re scooping up data pipelines, hiring away each other’s brightest minds, and cutting labyrinthine deals that would make a 19th-century railroad tycoon blush. They’ve found ways to buy the whole pie—or at least keep others from taking a bite—without ever … Continue readingWhat Is Going On with AI Companies?

🌟 Timeless Principles for a Successful Life

Now I don’t claim to have all the answers—never trust a man who says he does, especially if he’s selling something—but if history’s good for anything, it’s for teaching us the same few lessons over and over again until we finally learn them or die trying. You see, the trouble with the modern world isn’t that we lack advice—it’s that we drown in it. Every day, we wade through a swamp of influencers, life-hackers, and self-help prophets preaching shortcuts to success as if character were a smartphone app you could download overnight. But the truth—and it don’t care who … Continue reading🌟 Timeless Principles for a Successful Life

🛡️ Eat to Fight Inflammation & Strengthen Your Legs for Life

Let’s be honest—most people treat their body like a rental car and act surprised when it breaks down. But if you want to stay sharp, mobile, and independent as the years roll on, your legs are the foundation. And your grocery cart? That’s your toolkit. You don’t need trendy diets or expensive supplements. You need real food—stuff that fights inflammation, builds strength, and doesn’t come with a mascot. We’re talking berries, beans, greens, spices, and a few things your great-grandmother would still recognize. This isn’t about chasing six-pack abs. It’s about staying on your feet, thinking clearly, and aging … Continue reading🛡️ Eat to Fight Inflammation & Strengthen Your Legs for Life

The Brotherhoods: 🐖 Harvard’s Billion-Dollar PIG, ☠️ YALE Skull & Bones, and 🏛️ The Wharton School

If you ever find yourself walking past a plain door at Harvard with no sign, no bell, and no welcome mat, keep walking. What lies behind it isn’t for the curious—it’s for the chosen. Because while America claims to run on democracy, merit, and elbow grease, the truth is far simpler: it runs on pig emblems, whispered names, and men who’ve never interviewed for anything in their lives. There’s a battle playing out behind the scenes of the American empire. At Yale, Skull and Bones once crowned kings and spies in a shadowy chapel of ambition. At Wharton, today’s … Continue readingThe Brotherhoods: 🐖 Harvard’s Billion-Dollar PIG, ☠️ YALE Skull & Bones, and 🏛️ The Wharton School

Just another BRICS hits the wall.

If you listen closely these days, you’ll hear the sound of bricks falling—not from a construction site, but from international optimism. Seems every few years someone gets the bright idea to build a new world order out of spare parts: Brazil’s charm, Russia’s saber-rattling, India’s hustle, China’s ambition, and South Africa’s hopeful handshake. They call it BRICS. Sounds solid, don’t it? Like something you’d build a bank with—or at least a backyard barbecue pit. But as with most international alliances named after building materials, the trouble isn’t in the foundation—it’s in who wants to run the hardware store So … Continue readingJust another BRICS hits the wall.

🧠 How to Think Like a Millionaire in 4 Simple Steps

Back in my day—and I mean yesterday—a man’s fortune was measured in cattle, land, Ferrari’s or how many folks just showed up to his funeral. Nowadays, it’s dashboards, index funds, and your ability to pretend avocado toast didn’t sabotage your retirement plan. But here’s the truth, plain and simple: Millionaires don’t stumble into wealth like tripping over a sack of gold. They plan, they track, and most importantly—they save like their freedom depends on it. and your freedom does to.

🪖We do what others can’t or won’t do, so you don’t have to.

It was a Tuesday night in a dive so worn-out, even the neon sign had given up halfway through spelling “Saloon”. Inside, the jukebox wheezed out a Hank Williams tune like it was on life support, and four men sat around a battered oak table—the kind of men who don’t talk much, unless they’ve bled for it. Each one bore the mark: a scar, a twitch, a thousand-yard stare dulled by time and just enough whiskey. The Navy SEAL tipped his glass and said, “I slipped out of a torpedo tube like a damn fish with grenades. Swam four … Continue reading🪖We do what others can’t or won’t do, so you don’t have to.

The Day I Got Mugged by a Machine and accused of the Crime

This is the true story of how a robot tried to cancel me—and almost got away with it. – A real live person It started with a screenshot. One of those blurry, cropped-at-the-edges, too-casual-to-be-innocent kind. My name, front and center. A headline below it: “Confirmed participant in January 6 events, charged with disorderly conduct.” The weird part? I wasn’t even in D.C. that day. I was home, alphabetizing spices and losing a debate with my six-year-old about why marshmallows aren’t a food group. Bad Info Travels Fast A Harley-Davidson dealership up in Vermont posted it. Not a news article. … Continue readingThe Day I Got Mugged by a Machine and accused of the Crime

The Clinton Legacy: Triumph, Controversy, and the Uranium One Saga

The Clinton’s – the Good the Bad the Ugly. Now, I’ve seen a fair number of tall tales in my time—rail-splitters turned presidents, peanut farmers turned prophets, billionaires, and generals—but none quite like the two-headed saga of the Clintons. If you asked an angel and a devil to run for office together, you might end up with something that looks a lot like Bill and Hillary: part charm, part steel, part salvation, part scandal. They didn’t ride in on yachts or inherit oil fields; no sir, they came from trailer parks and tough towns with nothing but brains, ambition, … Continue readingThe Clinton Legacy: Triumph, Controversy, and the Uranium One Saga

The Race Track of Investing: Understanding Risk-On and Risk-Off

I ain’t no Wall Street wizard, and I never wore a bowtie to bed or stayed up late reading earnings reports for fun. But I do know a thing or two about human nature, and it turns out the market’s got a whole lot of it—panic, pride, greed, and the occasional case of amnesia. You see, investing’s a lot like driving a race car with your ex in the passenger seat—if you go too fast in the wrong places, you’ll either crash or get an earful before you do. That’s where this idea of risk-on and risk-off comes in. … Continue readingThe Race Track of Investing: Understanding Risk-On and Risk-Off

Jack Calloway remembers the real Silent Service: A Tale of Two Ghosts

As Memorial Day approaches, I find myself thinking about the forgotten names etched into the wall. Somewhere out there, missing men and women remain in the shadows—some still held by communist regimes, perhaps in China, Russia, or North Korea. We often hold onto our enemies, quietly, strategically—hoping one day to exchange them for those we’ve lost, if someone is ever willing to admit they exist. These stories are true, even if the names are not. And tragically, they are not the only ones. Chapter 1: Echoes into the Red Veil Tom Easton and Michael Vale were the kind of … Continue readingJack Calloway remembers the real Silent Service: A Tale of Two Ghosts

Your ego is writing checks your body can’t cash – That’s right, Iceman. I am dangerous.

Now, I ain’t never flown no F-14 Tomcat, never even played one on TV. I’ve known a few fellas who lived their lives like they were strapped to one — roaring full-throttle into every moment with their hair on fire and the rulebook trailing behind them in tatters. These are the folks who make headlines one day and cautionary tales the next. And this is where we meet our man Maverick — a cocky sky cowboy with more talent than sense, who thinks gravity is just a suggestion and rules are something that happen to other people. But the … Continue readingYour ego is writing checks your body can’t cash – That’s right, Iceman. I am dangerous.

The Reinvention Paradox: How to Jump to the Next Level

We often hit a strange, paradoxical ceiling in life—especially in our careers. It’s not rock-bottom that scares us. It’s the plateau. That quiet, comfortable place where we’re doing well… but deep down, we know we’re no longer growing. You’ve worked your way up. You’re competent, maybe even exceptional. But now? You’re too experienced to start over, yet too unchallenged to stay put. Welcome to the Reinvention Paradox. At 40, 50, or 60, the big question becomes: How do I leap again when I’ve already “arrived”? Here’s how: 1.

Jax  Turien could sell anything to to anyone, now by the time the universe ended, Jax  had already sold out the VIP packages. ACT I: The Final Party The year was 4000. Humanity had long transcended the limits of Earth, colonizing the stars with the casual confidence of a species that believed it had outlived extinction. But even the cosmos had an expiration date, and according to the latest cosmological consensus, that date was… soon. Or at least soon enough to sell tickets. Jax Turien leaned against the chrome railing of the Eternity, a ship so opulent it made … Continue readingLast Call at the Edge of Forever

The Children of Saturn

“And lo, the last man said: ‘Keep me safe.’ But the new man said: ‘Let me fall, if I may rise higher.’” The Ark of Becoming In the shadow of Saturn’s rings, where silver storms raged in the clouds below, a colony named Hyperion floated like a cathedral in orbit. Earth had long since collapsed—its skies drowned in fire, its people numbed by comfort and fear. But in the minds of a few, a spark had survived. His name was Noah Zarathustra. Noah wasn’t a prophet in the old sense. He didn’t speak to gods—he killed them. He was … Continue readingThe Children of Saturn

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Modern Marriages Break Down…

Now, I ain’t no marriage counselor—and Lord knows I probably needed one on speed dial, mostly on account of me—but I’ve lived long enough to know this: if you try to do the impossible with too little, something’s bound to break sooner or later. That’s what we’ve done with modern marriage. We took a perfectly noble institution and loaded it down like a pack mule with every expectation known to man—love, money, sex, parenting, friendship, life planning, eternal youth, shared Netflix tastes, and for heaven’s sake, synchronized sleep schedules. Then we scratched our heads and acted surprised when people started … Continue reading👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Why Modern Marriages Break Down…

Why Do Famous and Busy Men Still Die from Prostate and Colorectal Cancer?

Now, I ain’t no doctor, and I sure ain’t here to poke around where the sun don’t shine, but I do know a thing or two about the male species—particularly the stubborn kind that thinks they’re too busy, too tough, or too important to see a doctor until something starts falling off. Being there, done that. Men, especially the successful ones, will negotiate a billion-dollar merger before they’ll schedule a colonoscopy. They’ll sit through eight hours of PowerPoint but won’t sit still for a five-minute blood test. And God forbid you ask them about their bathroom habits—suddenly they’re more … Continue readingWhy Do Famous and Busy Men Still Die from Prostate and Colorectal Cancer?

  A trendy bar. Two friends, Lena and Jules, sit with drinks, decompressing after yet another failed dating app experience. LENA: You ever think we’re just living in some Black Mirror version of The Bachelor? Like, everyone’s emotionally unstable and armed with a phone camera? JULES: Girl. The last guy I went out with told me he wasn’t interested—nicely—and I swear I almost told him to crash into a telephone pole. Then I remembered: that’s what my ex did when I didn’t text back in five minutes. LENA: Five minutes? You were basically ghosting him. Did you send the … Continue readingJust a Crumb, Queen

10 Things You Shouldn’t Buy When the Economy Is Down – and 10 Things you should

Now let me tell you something, friend. When the river’s rising and the pigs are on the porch, it ain’t the time to go buying a chandelier. Hard times don’t care much for your brand-new leather couch or diamond-plated air fryer. They want to see what you’re made of—whether you can cook a meal, fix your shoes, and keep a dollar longer than a sneeze lasts. The truth is, in times like these, common sense becomes uncommon. So if you’re wondering what not to buy when the money’s tight and the headlines are screaming doom, let this old-fashioned bit … Continue reading10 Things You Shouldn’t Buy When the Economy Is Down – and 10 Things you should

A Tale of Three Tyrants: Obama, Trump, and Biden, Pushing the Constitutional Limits 📜

Now, I don’t pretend to be a constitutional scholar, but I do know a little something about human nature—and friend, if there’s one thing more dangerous than a fool with power, it’s a clever man who thinks the rules were written for someone else. See, once upon a time, the Constitution was like grandma’s pie recipe—passed down, sacred, and not to be tampered with. Today, it’s more like a DIY pizza crust: tear off what you don’t like, add whatever toppings suit your politics, and if it burns in the oven—well, blame the other guy. We’ve had presidents with … Continue readingA Tale of Three Tyrants: Obama, Trump, and Biden, Pushing the Constitutional Limits 📜

Uncle Bob (rocking slowly on the porch, sipping lemonade): Nate, you look like a man who just discovered women are more complicated than math. Nate (grinning, holding his iPad): Uncle Bob, I just finished mapping out the entire modern dating crisis using game theory. It’s all here—Nash equilibria, control matrices, and payoff grids. Uncle Bob: Good lord, son. Back in my day, we just called it heartbreak and wrote sad songs. Now you’re telling me love needs a calculator? Nate: No, not love—relationships. Big difference. Most people think they’re after love, but really, they’re in it for control. Security. … Continue reading🎩 Love, Control, and the Prisoner’s Dilemma

Sex, Lies, and Videotapes: A Lunch Hour Memoir

Prologue: Lunch Is a Mirror If you ever want to know who you really work with, don’t look at their résumé. Don’t waste time with HR assessments or team-building seminars. Watch what they do at lunch. Lunchtime is when the masks slip. When people unbutton their shirts, let down their hair, or—occasionally—drive to a motel. Over the years, as an employee, a business owner, and a consultant, I’ve seen some outrageous things unfold when the lunch bell rings. This is a collection of those stories. Chapter One: Sex Let’s start with the obvious: sex. People don’t realize how common … Continue readingSex, Lies, and Videotapes: A Lunch Hour Memoir

The Machine That Knew Too Much

Reversing the Turing Test”: “Not whether the AI can appear human, but whether humans are smart enough to understand the AI.” If we ever reach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), we may face the unsettling possibility that it begins giving us answers that are correct — yet incomprehensible by humans.   Let me tell you the story of the time we built a machine smarter than all of us combined — and what we did the moment it opened its mouth. Now I don’t rightly remember the year — maybe it was twenty-thirty-something, or maybe it was a Tuesday — … Continue readingThe Machine That Knew Too Much

Let Me Tell You About Her… And Her… And Her

Let me tell you something, friend. It always begins the same way. She looks at you. But she does not see you—not the man standing in front of her, not the scars you carry, not the stories folded into the wrinkles around your eyes. She sees a version of you that exists only in her mind. A possibility. A sketch. A ghost of a man who could be—if only. At first, it feels like love. Like being touched without hands. Like someone finally found the part of you that had been waiting in the dark and brought it into … Continue readingLet Me Tell You About Her… And Her… And Her

Come Back, Cybertruck! – A Tale of AI, Debt, and Dignity

Now, I never trusted machines that don’t sweat when they work. And I sure don’t trust a truck that’s shinier than a casino buffet and smarter than half my cousins. But I bought one anyway. Because dreams, like Cybertrucks, are expensive, impractical, and have a tendency to leave you when the payments come due. So here’s the story of how my Cybertruck—my mighty, metallic stallion of the future—decided I was a financial embarrassment and drove itself back to the dealer like a responsible adult with boundary issues. And wouldn’t you know it? It even had the nerve to talk … Continue readingCome Back, Cybertruck! – A Tale of AI, Debt, and Dignity

🧠 What Happens in Your Brain When You Read

Now, I’ve been accused of many things—being too curious, asking too many questions, and nothing has ever gotten me into more trouble than reading. Books have a way of rearranging the furniture in your mind—quietly, subtly, like a ghost with a library card. One minute you’re reading about pirates or poets, and the next, you’re questioning the universe, your job, or why you still haven’t fixed that leaky faucet. Now I am enjoying torturing my readers brains. But here’s the kicker: while your eyes are dancing across the page, your brain is throwing a full-blown party—neurons firing like fireworks, … Continue reading🧠 What Happens in Your Brain When You Read

Predator and Prey: The New World Divide

We live in a world of two cities. Two people. Two blocks. Two minds. Two worlds. It’s no longer just Democrats versus Republicans, or Capitalists versus Socialists. The divide is deeper, broader, and more global than ever before. The world is splitting into two great spheres of influence: one orbiting the United States, the other orbiting China. There will be two dominant currencies: the dollar and the yuan. The old standard and the new ambition. There will be two forms of settlement and exchange: gold and Bitcoin — the timeless store of value and the digital rebel. And as … Continue readingPredator and Prey: The New World Divide

BRICS and the Battle for the Internet: Freedom or a New Age of Censorship?

Once upon a time, the internet was imagined as a borderless realm — a vast digital commons where ideas, innovation, and opportunity could flow freely. But today, that dream is fracturing. Firewalls are rising where fiber optics once promised freedom. Nations are no longer just competing for wealth or weapons — they’re racing to control code, clouds, and cables.   Nowhere is this clearer than in the BRICS countries. Together, they represent more than half the world’s population — and they are building their own version of the internet. Not just new platforms, but entire systems of data governance, … Continue readingBRICS and the Battle for the Internet: Freedom or a New Age of Censorship?

Are We Just Stupid? Or Just Human?

Government is made up of people. So are government people stupid, or are they evil? That’s the real debate, and like most debates, the truth is messy but you’d be forgiven for thinking so. We Americans love a good mystery, and when we can’t find one, we invent it. That’s how we got conspiracy theories, diet soda, and reality TV. Government is made of Government people, are government people stupid or evil? But maybe—just maybe—the truth is less about secret cabals and more about regular oldhuman laziness, greed, and short attention spans. So pour yourself a drink, sit a … Continue readingAre We Just Stupid? Or Just Human?

China’s Grand Strategy vs. the Western World: A Clash of Civilizations

I am not a card-carrying member of the Foreign Policy Elite, but I’ve been around long enough to know when a man smiles at your dinner table while looking at your wife too many times, you can’t trust him. For years, we invited China to the feast, poured the wine, and told ourselves they’d mind their manners if they got full enough. Turns out, they brought their own menu, their wine, and now they want more than the table. In the West we have this lovely little bedtime story: let them get rich, and they’ll get nice. But like … Continue readingChina’s Grand Strategy vs. the Western World: A Clash of Civilizations

To the Moms Who Carried Us
