I’m going to see Ye, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, in concert this weekend and have to shift into travel mode. There’s a lot of faith in being a Ye fan. The first concert I got tickets to was for a music festival in Italy which was later cancelled and was an annoying hit. Airlines are a monopoly with predatory practices. The show this weekend is in Tampa, but I still have to hope he even preforms. His latest Bully was releasing “next month” for about six months and of course a lot happened in that time with new music being released. With an artist, we never know what they’ll do next and that’s part of the point. They are the trailblazers, which means they go in front and people follow. A lot of people want to lead, but are afraid to go out on their own. There is also the element of faith with Ye being on stage that he will likely wear a mask. The question is how to know if it’s really him without “seeing” him. To me it doesn’t matter because as Ye has said, “it’s good music.” The point is not seeing a person, rather the performance which is an audio/visual compilation. Buying a ticket to Ye is hoping for an experience with the quality expected by the name. Could I pass putting his music to the Pepsi Challenge? Maybe, I’ve noticed beats on the radio he’s produced that didn’t have his vocals. There is a fullness to his music, most others lack. I’d also call him unique though most people couldn’t recognize what’s going on. Once outside of the box, people call it crazy.

Group investing taught me discipline, but solo investing taught me to trust my own research and stomach. The noise of consensus often drowns out the best contrarian plays. #Investing #SoloInvestor #IndependentThinking

So, I wrote something ...

The debate on generative AI seems stuck, circling around questions of cheating, authenticity and technology. It is often framed in overtly moralistic terms, where the focus lies on when and how one is “allowed” to use it for text production.

Yet the more decisive question concerns something else: what happens to judgement, understanding and responsibility when people choose to outsource their own thinking?

🇺🇸💥 Trump’s MAGA playbook goes kinetic: Venezuela’s Maduro captured, oil & regime change on the table, Cuba & Haiti eyed next. MAGA = hemispheric dominance, countering China/Russia, and bold military moves. #TrumpWatch #MAGAPlaybook #IndependentThinking www.chathamhouse.org/2026/02/oil-...

Oil, regime change, and what's...

Much of human behavior isn’t chosen—it’s learned. Social conditioning shapes beliefs, habits, and identity long before awareness kicks in. Understanding it gives you your choices back.
