Stealth Mode, Still With You

I’ve committed to taking a more stealthy approach to my work. One that allows me to focus more deeply on myself and what I’m building, while resisting the urge to overshare, share too soon, or narrate my thinking in real time. This includes holding back on immediately unpacking what I’m observing in the world, particularly in areas that interest me most—which is to say, nearly everything, especially where artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, and sustainability intersect.

As impactful as my thought leadership can be, it often proves wildly disruptive in ways that invite unwarranted resistance and obstruction. It creates unnecessary friction, and even with the most disciplined, resilient, and champion-level mindset, it becomes more of an annoyance—like a gnat or a fly buzzing while you’re simply trying to enjoy your meal. So I decided it was best to get low, as some would say, and let the work speak for itself.

That said, while I’m committed to this stealth approach, I know many of you have been disappointed because you find my guidance in this form genuinely useful for your own thinking, design, and direction. While I’d prefer to maintain my current altitude with minimal turbulence, I’m going to try to find a balance where I can do both. I’m not entirely sure what that balance looks like yet. Perhaps someone more fluent in these matters could help me name it because I’ve been leaning heavily into gratitude and it’s changing things drastically in my life. And what I’ve noticed is that gratitude diminishes my desire to be critical, and even more so to voice criticism or critique, regardless of how constructive it might be.

I’m really enjoying this space right now. It’s doing wonders for my mental health, and as a result, I’m tapped into deeper levels of creativity and genius. I’m cruising to say the least. That said…know this: I’ve got you. For those of you who read these, I’ll do my best to keep the guidance coming, without spoiler alerts and without watering it down. It’s an extremely fine line to walk, and I can’t afford to lose my balance at this moment, but I will do it for you.

In other words, I’ll keep the guidance coming. I got you. Kisses, mi amor.😘🤫🤝🫡

I am many things…

I had planned to write a truly thoughtful and profound piece explaining why I am not a socialist, and even more so when you add something more appealing like “democratic” to it.

However, I decided not to waste my time because my thoughts on these matters are too nuanced, especially after reviewing the qualitative and quantitative data and the outcomes of history.

In other news, I’ve already completed my work for 2026. I’ll see you all next year. Catch up! 🏁

I Will Be Right Back…

Damn, this is/was not even fair. I can keep doing this over and over, day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year. At this point, especially as my friend would say, to consistently maintain this level of excellence and dominance even when I’m getting punched in the face 10 times a day and still come out victorious, no matter what is thrown at me is insane.

Just showing up and existing at such high levels is really remarkable. I am beyond unstoppable. Some are calling it flow state, but the reality is, when you humble yourself to such levels, the magic, the manifestations, the magnetism, all of it is truly…humbling. It’s easy, it’s effortless, and it’s not even fun anymore. I think this is why Jay-Z no longer raps. It’s not even fun anymore. When you have achieved this level of mastery, it’s no longer enjoyable. It’s a waste of time to even engage.

What I do enjoy though are my daughters and my girlfriends. They are fun. I need to take some much-needed rest and recreation during these commercial breaks. I have nothing to leave you all with except my thoughts, well wishes, and multiple lifetimes worth of work. I will go on and continue to enjoy this life of mine quietly with the aforementioned humans who I love and who I know love me. Good luck everyone.

If you see me, let’s have a glass of wine, some champagne, a martini, perhaps a coffee, some bites to eat, and laugh a lot.

I am a master of all my crafts. I am the greatest of all time!🪄🕴🏾🏁🏴‍☠️🤝🥇🥂🤫

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🥂

Modality and Modularity

As I transition into a more stealthy approach, I’d like to share some advice and insight with you all.

Back in early 2009, I designed and handed over the blueprints for artificial intelligence. I essentially stepped away from that part of the industry and didn’t give it much thought, as I doubted anyone would actually build my computer. Since then, I’ve worked and consulted within the technology industry intermittently.

Recently, after developing a new vision and laying the foundation for my work on sustainability and climate change, I revisited the technology industry to understand its advancements. To my surprise, they had built my computer for me. This was a refreshing revelation, as I had witnessed the depth of knowledge, teams, networks, and global efforts involved in its creation.

I draw a parallel between the scope of this project and my vision for building a more sustainable future that protects both people and the planet. When I approached the university of Buffalo and requested $150 billion dollars to initiate my project, I wasn’t exaggerating. I recognized the need for a substantial financial backing, a war chest so to speak…sort of…and I wasn’t even considering my engagements with the technology industry.

I say “sort of” because I understood that even with that amount of money, it would be challenging to defeat every industry and its economic stakeholders on a global scale. Therefore, when I asked for $150 billion dollars, it wasn’t intended for immediate action but rather to secure the funds until after this initial phase was complete. This approach allows me to build what I intend to build without the immediate pressure of competing with existing projects that may not be sustainable or relevant in the long run.

In this new paradigm, two key concepts come to mind: modality and modularity. Building in this manner requires a dynamic approach, emotional and operational detachment from individual components, and the ability to interchange them rapidly. This is why I haven’t built anything yet. I want to avoid the time and resource-intensive nature of this phase and focus on laying the groundwork for the future.

Wishing everyone a happy New Year and good luck. I am deeply grateful to each and every one of you who have made this possible.

Warm regards, 🥶

The Greatest Advancement In Human History

If I can develop an app with a simple prompt, I believe it’s only fair that Mark Zuckerberg can do the same with a rap song.

This new era is truly remarkable. It’s astonishing that everything is up for grabs. I recall having similar sentiments at the dawn of the internet, but things didn’t quite turn out that way in terms of diversity and inclusion because everyone prioritized self-preservation.

Consider how the music industry might have evolved if labels and artists hadn’t been so aggressive against Napster. In a way, they were essentially building a streaming service, except the power wasn’t centralized in two organizations. It was peer-to-peer, but the music industry, in its shortsightedness, dropped the ball out of fear. Fortunately, my good friends at Apple managed to bring them to a comfortable space with limited freedom.

Now, the point I want to emphasize here goes beyond music and entertainment. Everything is up for grabs, and I mean everything. This is bigger than the internet, bigger than all the Industrial Revolutions, bigger than the Renaissance, bigger than the Enlightenment. It’s unprecedented, almost…

Before I conclude my thought process, I must admit that one error in my thinking was assuming we would build like A starship enterprise-style society. I was mistaken. This planet and its inhabitants are far larger and more diverse than I had imagined. Which is intriguing; it’s actually more interesting and exciting because I believe we’re about to witness subcultures on steroids. As we build our futures, I must ask myself: what possibilities will we all come up with in an age of abundance, when we lack nothing? I think it will be peaceful, and I also believe it will be inventive and incredible in countless ways, just from my perspective right now. We are on the brink of witnessing the greatest advancement in human history.

This isn’t unprecedented. The last time I laid a foundation of such a magnitude for humanity, I was hovering like I am right now…

🪄🕴️

P.S. I forgot to mention that taste is involved here, and not just one’s use of taste to duplicate what they see at high levels, but who can and is willing to create a new genre of music?

Perceived Value

Throughout human history, we have engaged in the exchange of goods. Within this exchange, there’s always a concept that I’ve come to refer to as “perceived value.” While I may not be an economist, I’m certain there’s an established term and theory for this concept that I’ll explore further as I delve deeper into this thought. Regardless, the idea here is that whenever we engage in the exchange of goods, there’s a perceived value associated with it. In fact, I might even go as far as to say that there’s a perceived value even when no exchange is taking place. We can explore the intricacies of negotiation and the art of the deal to gain a better understanding of this concept, as not every deal is successful due to a lack of agreement on the perceived value.

I’m genuinely contemplating and analyzing this concept of perceived value with great care and attention to detail. While I respect hard work, I must admit that the scale of the current exchange of nothingness is unprecedented in my lifetime.

As I remain seated firmly as the chairman at the forefront of our current paradigm, I must emphasize that it will be challenging for you to convince me to give you something for nothing. I am a master of my craft and consider this a cosmic curtsy to everyone who has not compensated me fairly for my work in the past. ☠️

The Politics of Our Wellbeing

As the now-famous saying goes, everything is political. Unfortunately, this includes our well-being. I recently listened to an intriguing podcast where the host and guest discussed climate change. They emphasized that everyone desires clean air and clean water and believes in their right and access to these essential resources. They highlighted the consensus across all political lines, but the challenges arise in achieving these shared goals. The discussion emphasized how our shared interests in these goals often gets lost in our political tropes. In this context, the stereotype of an environmentalist is often associated with an ultra-progressive liberal, complete with Patagonia clothing, a Fjällräven Kånken backpack filled with granola bars, tools for making a picket sign on the spot, and a water bottle adorned with an earthy cliché.

However, we rarely perceive environmental activists as ultra-conservative religious figures. In the political sphere, we generally know what to expect regarding various social issues and their political affiliations. We observed a disruption of this during the recent presidential election cycle when analysts analyzed voting data and discovered something unexpected. It turned out that a portion of the Republican voting bloc consisted of a minority group of anti-vaccine conservative “granola” women. We live off the land and off the grid types. I apologize for the granola stereotype, but it was the way the information was reported. It also helps us identify these women, and I mostly attributed their subset to being a group of women who grew up and changed some of their worldviews, particularly after starting families and prioritizing their long-term well-being. This is a common experience for many of us. We grow up.

As I listened to the discussion, it made me wonder deeply about the possibility of disconnecting our collective well-being, which many of us seem to share, from our political process, which is inherently divisive.

When it comes to social issues that affect us all, it can become quite perplexing, especially when power, economic, and political power are involved. In such situations, individuals can inflict trauma on others for perceived “good” or through crowd justice, coupled with self-righteous and nonsensical altruism. Moreover, they tend to double down on their efforts when they prove futile, disregarding the autonomy and independence of individuals. Instead, they impose their own limited scope and frame of “shared values” and worldview on others, hindering their ability to design their lives and define their own well-being.

There must be a solution or an end to this madness.

Go To Work…

As I reflect deeper into the various potential mergers and acquisitions, large-scale industrial expansion, and restructuring driven by the development and deployment of artificial intelligence across all its levels, stages, and phases, one thing becomes abundantly clear: we are not approaching this endeavor very efficiently.

While the free market is undoubtedly a factor, it is not the sole reason. A significant portion of the so-called “productivity” we observe is simply the result of people going to work.

I believe that only a handful of individuals are actively engaged in processing and contemplating this digital transition in practical, effective, and efficient terms, considering the optimal use of time and resources. However, it is worth noting that much of society has been constructed in this manner.

In reflecting on this, I am gradually developing a greater sense of empathy. People are not actively thinking; they are merely performing their jobs.
