If you’re into the stock market or day trading like the countless others recovering from years trapped inside with no outlet for entertainment, then you’re more than likely aware about the recent news surrounding Netflix and their stock price plummeting. If you’re like me, dealing with both the stocks and the crypto markets, then you’re probably less shocked by an over-30% drop in a single day. (In fact, you may likely shrug your shoulders and say, “Only 30? sounds like Tuesday!”) Regardless,...

King Solomon once made the statement, there’s nothing new under the sun. Widely regarded as one of the wisest men in all of history there’s an element of honest believability in each of his short sayings. But I’ve gotten completely off-track already without even giving you a context for today’s thought! I’d like to propose a thought: Uber was nothing new. In fact, the concept existed long long ago. You see, I am struck with the similarity to an ancient story told in Greek mythology. I refer o...

Something about tonight’s crypto activities brings to mind a thought about a different night with far more severe and devastating consequences. Of course tonight would be considered a mere shadow by comparison to this fateful night in history, but I am thinking about April 15, 1912. That’s right, we just recognized the 110th anniversary of perhaps one of the most well-known tragedies of modern time. I refer, of course, to the sinking of the Titanic. Perhaps you’re wondering why I am caught up...

I doubt you will be reading this post and not be aware of the metaverse. Nor could you be ignorant of the hype surrounding this utopian digital world we are all going to be blissfully living within. And yet, if you’ll forgive me, I have just a question. I’ll make this quick, and perhaps the answer will be simple. I constantly watch the fluctuating “floor price” (the cheapest price for which I can purchase something) for these various metaverse NFT’s representing a different amounts of digital...

Death. Not a word many find much joy within. In fact, most have an immediate and negative reaction at the word. And yet, our personal distaste for a word should not cripple us or prevent us from being thoughtful about all aspects of our life. There should not be a general public logomisia towards death, or departure. Someone recently suggested the word “departure” as an alternative. I’ll be honest I’m not sure how I feel about it. My first response is a bit of a cyber elevator ding upon heari...

Nearly everyone I talk to is stressing over the current economy, the markets, the inflation, and the government. The list goes on and on. Emotions and tension seem to be at nearly an all-time high while the mainstream media discusses the “soft landing” (side note: I’m incredibly tired of the reused clichés constantly trumpeted by these talking heads) they hope will help the general everyday person (you and me). This morning the CPI indicated a a fresh 40-year high in May. We see this reflecte...

No, I’m not referring to the controversial, seemingly-always-in-the-news cryptocurrency, Ripple. Surprising for my thinking and daily thoughts I know this. Instead, I’m thinking much more deeply in this moment. Ripples across time. Or rather, how our actions taken at a singular point in time are forever and unstoppable in their advancement into all of time in the future. Sure, we might be able to redirect, or possibly reflect those ripples but we will forever see their effect. Each decision, ...

I’m most certainly giving away both my age as well as at least a small insight into my former television watching self when I write the following sentence. Not a single time goes by that I don’t hear the expression “weakest link” and immediately, instantly, and without fail I am transported to a game show with a bitingly, sharp British host. Her pinched features mixed with her intensely superior disdain for the contestants rings loudly in my ears, “You ARE the weakest link, Goodbye.” Her utte...

Today’s thought comes courtesy of the latest hot news topic everyone is talking about. Or should I say, tweeting about. Yeah, I’m referring of course to the “hostile” takeover buyout of Twitter by Elon Musk, the world’s richest individual.© 2022 MarketwatchNow, there’s probably no less than a thousand different viewpoints, and ways in which this situation could be broken down and analyzed for context and clarity. We could think about the possible motivation behind the initial purchase offer. ...

We all know those people. The ones who balked at your advice, in spite of your urgent pleading and maybe in some cases actual begging. Of course these people mean well, the cautious personality type is incredibly important in balancing our world. But I’m not referring to the self-aware overly cautious individual. (No, this person well knows they have deep troubles with change and decision-making and have come to terms with the consequences for following their instincts.) These self-aware peop...

I tend to think the lofty aspirations of interplanetary colonization are far more important and worthy of time spent in thought than sitting on the board of a social media company intent on capping ownership by percentages. If the decision were mine I would be consumed with the weighty decisions; with other worldly thinking. This is required for achieving wild dreams. Hopefully this thought reaches someone considering the effects of peer pressure. Don’t sacrifice your vision, your dreams, and...
