Retired. Best decision ever.

New Year's resolution: be an uncomplicated, stable, trustworthy, reliable, predictable and low maintenance client. Return to what worked for over a decade.
Still fun, adventurous, attentive, generous and gentlemanly during 'activities' - but in between - centred, grounded, focussed, controlled.

To all who crossed my path in 2025, especially those who continue on this journey with me, you enriched my life. I wish you a heartfelt Happy New Year!
May the year bring you joy, fulfillment and success. May you be surrounded by people who enhance your days. May you make 2026 your best year ever!

We have no idea what 2025/2026 has in store for us. AGI will arrive and it will radically change our world....we will advance more in a year than we did in the prior 5 decades. Few have any clue what that really means.
ASI is truly beyond our ability to imagine, and it will come days/weeks later.

We live in a simulation because everything we see, smell, hear, taste, feel is interpreted by our brains.
We see an plane fly by. But if a dog looks up and sees the same thing, does she interpret that as a plane flying by? If not, is there really a plane flying by?

UBI makes sense. It will be expensive but that money will go back into the economy as people living in poverty suddenly have a little bit of disposable income.
It needs to be enough to end poverty but not so much that people don't still have to work.
AI will force this anyway.
