The Four Agreements
"To be alive is the biggest fear humans have. Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking the risk to be alive - and express what we really are.

Have a new miscellaneous thoughts and observations post up on Substack.
Did not comment on the Rate Payer Protection Pledge signed yesterday by the major AI companies and President Trump because it is a "pledge" - a guideline without the force of a law. I'm waiting to see how this shakes out. Have the feeling the Administration is nudging AI companies toward partnering with military bases installing nuclear plants. These things seem to be aligning.

Has to be noted that Donald Trump seems determined to leave the world a better place than when he first took office as President. The situations in Venezuela and Iran have been festering for decades and now he's sorting those two out. Will it be any surprise if he brings peace to Israel and the middle east too?
