Much of my life in the markets has been spent trying to understand better ways to streamline an overabundance of information and data into actionable sound decisions. It's been a very tedious process to develop processes that allow me to move at a much faster, clearer minded pace. It's a never ending process as I am constantly evaluating how to cut the wheat from the chaff.
As I continue to get more involved in trying to better understand how dysfunctional our political processes are and how corrupt so many in the process seem to be, I realize that no one has really attempted to design, implement and maintain an honest information infrastructure about issues that matter most to Americans.
This is something I have been thinking about for months, and I have taken the first steps to map out an alternative approach. Short term, I envision 5 then 13 .. then 33 people around a core team to roll this out in stages. Designing this will be a multi year /decade endeavour and I'm not sure what the pace will look like as I balance my core responsibilities to my clients and my family.
If there wasn't so much overlap between my skill sets being transferrable, I would not even consider attempting to design something like this. But since I do believe I have "edge" (Wall Street parlence) I figure why not try?
I'd love to get some thoughts, feedback about this 30,000 foot view.

Wisdom in The Information Age
This is an interesting topic.
High-speed advanced technologies (designed to enhance quality of life > rapid actualization) significantly shape cultural norms. The result?
An instant gratification society.
What does it mean to exist in an instant gratification society?
A neuro-physiological dependency to experience rapid feedback.
What kind of rapid feedback? In terms of dependency (expectation), feedback type ranges from baseline useful to positive in most typically expected.
Send a text, expect a reply.
Post a pic, expect a like. Or at least, expect interaction of some kind.
Useful feedback may not necessarily mean positive feedback, but useful + positive feedback is generally preferred (Useful+).
So to recap:
What does it mean to exist in an instant gratification society?
A neuro-physiological dependency to experience rapid feedback, with a preferential expectation that rapid feedback is useful and positive.
Input(your Action) =(Receives) Useful+ (Feedback).
Input = Useful+
This is what’s expected.
There was a time in history before now, when we didn’t know if our actions would result in immediate feedback.
ie: Send a letter to loved one overseas, have no idea if you’d receive a reply or not depending on the context.
Prior to the Information Age, the equation was different.
Input = ?
Ponder the implications of this statement for a moment.

Wisdom • Knowledge
Intelligence
Wisdom is built upon knowledge.
Knowledge is a result of experience, intelligence, and time (age).
Intelligence reflects the speed with which you can learn.
There are key differences in terms, but in the context of this topic, the terms are inter-related.
The ability to acquire and apply knowledge is more useful than the simple quality of having knowledge already.
Being smart is a process of learning, while being wise is a product of experience.
Both imply time, intellect, lessons learned and lessons applied.
The difference between the two, (Smart vs. Wise) in the context of circumstantial application (the context in which you exist and make decisions)- is efficacy.
A smart person may apply knowledge in a situation with less efficacy than a wise person, who applies their knowledge in the same situation - though both are technically peers in age or academic credentials.
The same could be true even if they were not peers in age or academic credentials.
What does this mean?
Upon review of decision making, circumstantial efficacy of applied knowledge will differentiate the smart from the wise.

My friend who runs the Narrative Reframes channel compared our situation to a hostile custody battle. That is true, but I have an even better analogy.
The current American party system, in all three branches of government, is like WWE wrestling. The actors pretend like they're really going at it and throwing left hooks like there's no tomorrow. But, no matter what, at the end of the day they get paid.
I don't want a career in fake wrestling, and therein lies my motive

Artificial intelligence is a lot like communism: Ask ten machine learning experts to define it and they’ll come up with one hundred different definitions… and none of them will work as advertised.
Just as the printing press mass produced text information, neural networks mass produce correlation. Understanding this narrative reframe will help us figure out how to avoid future censorship and understand the limits of our current tyrants.
Part 1 of Cognitive Asymmetry will explore how the printing press, the Industrial age, and the Internet created structurally similar “shifts of scale”.

Many of us, in our own ways, will likely be celebrating the life and death of Mr. McAfee today. Over the past ten years, his spectacular public shift into rock star rebel status against what is widely seen as a corrupt intelligence community has left a massive trail of memes.
It’s worth looking into the nature of the company he founded to understand what kind of leverage he frequently claimed to have.

Astroturf = “Fake” Grassroots content meant to sway public opinion towards a false narrative when they’re conducting their own research. Think VA€€1N€$.

Astroturf and manipulation of media messages | Sharyl Attkisson | TEDxUniversityofNevada
In this eye-opening talk, veteran investigative journalist Sharyl Attkisson shows how astroturf, or fake grassroots movements funded by political, corporate, or other special interests very effectively manipulate and distort media messages.

On 1/07/21 - after the events at the Capitol, and mass-scale election fraud had become fully apparent - the authorization was given to release the code which would inevitably lead to a full on RUN of the Blackmail Market and render the method useless.
