104. A Random Walk
I been doing random reads. Some websites say focus on one thing. I see some talk about AI, or sex, or love, or dogs and cats.
I am rather disorganized and too lazy to create separate blogs. I just dump shit here and don’t really have a master vision or 5 year plan.
I used to write on medium but lost motivation and got busy with real life. For me, writing is just a past time. I been writing a lot this holiday season.
For starters, 2026 has just begun and many people make new year resolutions. Mine is to not pay for sex around 30th July. I made that same promise to myself for 8 consecutive years now. The only time I met that target was during the COVID pandemic.
In hindsight, 8 years can fly so fast. Where were you 8 years ago? Did you think you will be where you are right now? I don’t think substack existed back then. NVIDIA was not the king of AI and chatgpt was probably in beta phase more or less.
Bitcoin and crypto in general have made some headwinds in the financial market based on some google search and ETFs that seem to support them. For now, AI seems to be the number 1 megatrend on many people’s minds.
Job losses are real. Creative destruction once again. Some recommendations to soften the blow include retraining or upskilling. I love reading and learning. I am not sure if everyone can adapt to the carnage that may follow.
Darwin wrote about the survival of the fittest. I don’t think there is much social security or legal safety nets for animals in the natural order of things. The lion may be king of the jungle. Man may be the masters of the universe in 2026. I am not sure what will become of AI in 2036.
Chat GPT, Gemini, and Copilot seem like intelligent machines. I can ask them questions and most of their answers are good. Well above average compared to my dumb real life neighbors across the street.
The barber will most likely have not much to say about economics, politics, quantitative easing, and the derivation of the speed of light. There seems to be a growing divide between the haves and have nots and the educated and quasi idiots.
Needless to say, Darwin may be right. It seems that survival of the fittest applies to economics and other things too. Machiavelli wrote it ruthlessly. I think Darwin poked the mighty bear.
We are all animals and evolve not from divine imagination but based on facts on the ground literally. Fossils and fuels. Climate change and space exploration. Electric cars, growth and sustainability, etcetera and etcetera.
I think I lost the plot now. What I really wanted to say is this blog is not structured meaningfully in any way. Most of what I write is bullshit. I know it and I mean it. This post might not mean much. In fact, I forgot all of the above
