In yesterday's blog, Dreams, I wrote the following: "In my view, the soul is the linking pin between individual and universal consciousness." That sentence bugged me for some reason, and has resulted in this new blog and new diagram. I suppose that the above classification is new to me. After some reflection, it (still) feels valid. This classification also allows...

SMART: (4) Relevance
13 Aug, 2024
According to Wikipedia and many business articles (eg, Forbes), there are 5 criteria for effective goal-setting: (1) Specific, (2) Measurable, (3) Achievable, (4) Relevance, and (5) Time-based. Goals are omni-present in our lives (eg, home, school, sports, work). How do we - or Artificial Intelligence (AI) - determine that relevance?? My answer would be: I know it...
Irrelevant unknown unknowns
12 Aug, 2024
In principle, we do not know what we do not know - a.k.a. unknown unknowns. In my view, nearly all information is unknown to us. Perhaps, this immense segment is even 99.99999999 % - or far more. The other 3 segments are - once again, in my view - extremely small: known knowns (ie, knowledge), known unknowns (ie, beliefs), and unknown knowns (ie, instinct,...
AI’s missing revenues
17 Jul, 2024
A mid July 2024 Axios Markets article (see below) suggests that we are getting closer to the burst of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) bubble. That burst will be similar to the burst of the dot.com bubble in early 2000. Also see my related 2023 blog Dot.com bubble vs AI hype. The burst of the “imminent” AI bubble will cause a parting between B2B and B2C companies....
Forever labor shortage
11 Jul, 2024
It has been quite a while that I used external articles for my blogs. This Axios Macro article deserves my exception. I believe in the validity of its contents. Actually, I’m glad that its full impact will (probably) be after my demise. I’m one of the reasons why there already is a labor shortage. My 2013 decision was involuntary due a severe burn-out and subsequent...
Is decoupling causing supply-side inflation?
2 Jul, 2024
A recent Bloomberg article is responsible for the question in my blog title: China Premier Warns Decoupling Will Lead to ‘Destructive Spiral’. My 2 April 2024 blog questioned a related topic: Inflation: from supply-side to demand-side? Like my 4 April 2023 blog, I concluded that “we are stuck with supply-side inflation.” My 2023 and 2024 blogs did,...
