    Hey AHH .. re:  WE are the ones to be tokenized! Miles Harris: “the tokenized system would integrate tokenized money, tokenized securities, tokenized contracts, and crucially, tokenized identity.

    Are you asking me, or telling me lol.

    Experience tells me different.  Just quick, we are doing humanity a terrible disservice with that way of thinking.  Let me say why ..

    Where I grew up, we never had TV – only about 20 years later than the US.  The cry that went ou is that we are doomed!  The one-eyed devil .. God’s never gonna forgive us and so on and so forth.   In my religion we were not allowed to watch a TV, neither movies, because with a wagging finger we were told Not to Love the Lie – it did not last long and all these fire and brimstone one-eyed devil types sneakily got their TV.

    Then, later we got programmable calculators and computers – Chinese started out with an abacus.  Same story – it’s a devil – it’s a terrible monster  – it is going to (add whichever calamity you can think of, but brainrot may be one of them).  I had a colleague that (early 1990’s) wrote a scholarly article that email will fail as a communication method.

    Then, we got networks and oy vey – we’re going to have broccoli growing out of our heads – all these cables and all these connections and so on – remember how people panicked about 3G and 4G and these standards – they are still panicking about wide area wireless communication.  We’re on 6th generation now, and it is only now that we can decently communicate at speed and suitable for space – earth communication.

    Cell phones – same trajectory.

    You can follow a similar trajectory on farming – farming technologies now will astound someone from the early 1900’s when they still believed a chicken cannot lay an egg if there is not a rooster.

    Similar in medicine – bear in mind there are still a vast amount of people that believe a virus does not exist.

    Similar in transportation – my grandfather went into fasting and praying when the first moon landing happened (if it happened), as the scriptures say the earth is grounded on its four pillars.  We still have a flat earth society, but there are two space stations in orbit and a massive communication system.  A tokenized economy is the only way one can transact from orbit.

    We are becoming a space faring humanity.  Humans are like this – we find things out, we investigate, we experiment – buy a kid a toy and first they they do is to break it to see what it is made of.  We burn ourselves, we do bad things to ourselves – we have not learned to learn with love, laughter and ease.  We have to learn by breaking stuff and making explosions.  (This one too shall pass).  I had an uncle who said one time .. I was a kid and it took me a few days to figure it out.  He said:  ” Where are the days when we cooked inside and shat outside (when we still had privvies outside and I grew up with those) and they had a newfangled toilet installed because the town had to and barbecues for cooking outside.

    Your passport is a tokenized document.  Mine too.  We have the closest to electronic passports and a little bit more fiddling, we will wave it and it will connect all by itself.  They told us the earth had too many people, and now the productive society is being paid extra to please have more kids!  We are reducing in population in reality.  It is still only Africa today that is replacing their population with smaller and smaller growth and the whites are scared that the brownies and yellow perils will be triumphant.

    Vehicles – old stories, women were not supposed to drive this ‘horseless carriage’ because we were absolutely too stupid!   (Until the wars came and then those prohibitions were suddenly gone and we went on to building roads and making lights for crossings and laws and big bridges.)

    Tokens, peer to peer electronic cash over the internet is a normal development as a result of financial technology developing.  In fact, it has worked like this for many years – it is only now that we can have it in our own hands.  Previously, it was in the bank’s hands (remember fax machines and before that, even dots and dashes – Marconi and his Morse code and later radio signals), and previously, it was in the hands of the Roman Catholics, then the jews.

    Each time humanity takes something into its own hands, it complains like a bitch!  This technology is going to kill us for sure!   We’re going to turn into this technology or its going to make broccoli grow out of our heads or eat our brains.

    Different types of identity documents are similar.  Again, I grew up with a little card with my identity written on.  Now, I’ll probably carry it with me on the cell phone.  In fact, I do.

    We will hurt ourselves, we will burn ourselves, we will do ourselves harm, while we break the new toy to see what it is made of and what we can make of it.  No, we are not a token and we will not become a token.  Humanity is too strong and we seemingly have a secret weapon behind us – for arguments sake, let’s call it resilience.

    “I wonder about machine systems in chaos and failure process, dynamic process of collapse…does each machine element become “delusional”? It’s function no longer rationally related to the original system? Just speculating about intent and malice, as opposed to the simple “chaos”… Kallas as an incoherent element.”

    There is this thing with the AI language models.  They become stupid, by virtue of being asked or trained with large volumes of stupidity – they get brainrot.  What is very interesting, is if you give them good input again, the brainrot stays.  They do not recover.  Way I understand it (somewhat) is that chaos, intent, malice – all of these things that cause bad outcomes, become infections or contagious.  So, at a certain level of entropy, the system cannot recover and entropy will by definition prevail.  Dark shit this!  I don’t like thinking about it.

    I received that Rainer Rupp video from 2 sides today.  Quite fine and interesting to watch which I’m doing now.

    Another one – This is not a good and formal description, but I’ve always had this feeling – Ukraine is part of the Greater Israel plan.  Telegram:  https://t.me/RussianBaZa/49318

    Yup, nevertheless called ‘fixed assets’.  I like Xi Jinping .. Houses are for living in, not for speculation.

    Guinea-Bissau has a coup every 18 months or so.  The coup capital of Africa.  The president heard there was a coup, and called the newspapers himself and told them that he had been taken down.  This was three days after he was re-elected.  Now it will be a while of a military .gov and then one or another will take over again.   The military decides who is president over there.

    Jeffery Kaye – Yes, I read regularly.

    I have a question for you Mr P if you know.  There is this whole hoohaw about sedition now, as someone said the US military forces may refuse to obey illegal orders.  So we have this on the Demented Donald’s truth social.  Seems to me they must obey whatever?  Or is there a different take?

    Yeah, I agree. But, I must disagree on a point of order only. Malignant narcissism as he says is not quite a defined thing. It is a description of a set of weirdnesses that has been seen before.

    I prefer the simple one – demented – in both the senses of that word. Dementia as we see in some aged, a loss of function, a neurocognitive decline, or just demented, as it covers a multitude of sins.

    The expectation that NVIDIA will save every market soul . running up .. major, but she fizzled.  All the hope was here.  But this is basically techs no?  Gold up, Dow up .. ??  I’m so out of even watching markets.

    🚨 Market Bloodbath: Nasdaq Dives 2.4%, S&P 500 Follows Suit

    Nvidia NVIDIA Corporation flipped from a hot 5%+ open to a crimson close, but the carnage went deeper—here’s what fueled the rout:

    ❗️ Classic “Sell the News” Flip
    $NVDA’s early buzz turned into institutional cash-out, erasing gains and closing in the red. The AI hype’s fizzling fast, classic exit liquidity

    ❗️ VIX Explodes Past 26
    Fear gauge $VIX CBOE Volatility Index spiked into stress territory, jacking up hedging bills as traders hunker down for turbulence.

    ❗️ $3.1T OpEx Avalanche
    Sell-off ramped up pre-expiration of massive options notional—dealers dumped hedges like hot potatoes, turbocharging the downside slide.

    ❗️ Stagflation Wake-Up Call
    Fresh jobs data hit with 4.4% unemployment and stubborn wages, torching the “Fed pivot” dream and dragging Nasdaq 100 Nasdaq 100 down 2.4%.

    Bottom line: This was a full rethink of AI dominance, vol spikes, and macro headwinds—not just one earnings flop.

    That is very good.  Easy to understand.  Yet, he is worried … OK … and then?  It is as if people are too scared to call it.

    Oh man .. cocknitively impaired.

    That southern fellow is a hoooot!

    There is a whole library full of crazy stuff, and they all grab onto the mouth-hug.  I guess boys will be boys but to be real, I cannot contemplate.  Wait for the cartoons – they will so many X-rated.

    But there is some bad stuff brewing up.  I’m not a fan but she is halfway one of the very few honest ones.  Trump is an irresponsible, vindictive bastard and a Clinton Mouth Hugger.

    Geez .. I think it has been too many years for me … It’s been donkey years since Brian blogged under Tony Cartalucci at the old Land Destroyer Blog. He was the only one, excepting Pepe at the time to give us any decent info on that area of the world.

    In 2020, Brian went public and changed his pen name to his real name.

    He explained his reason that it would be better to defend himself against ad hominem attacks by the Western press. His pen name no longer offered any protection, but had become more of an obstacle for him.

    He always seemed straight to me or at least, any correspondence has always been straight. Anyway … he works hard, is a family man and generally keeps himself to the straight and narrow and does his research well. If he is Mr Agent, well – wow, that feels strange. He has never asked me for any information that I did not give. And believe me, I’ve had a few that angled for being handlers.

    I’ve just been through Mr Lavrov discussion with Russian press that was posted.  This becomes very clear.

    I loved Lavrov’s one statement:  Back then, not only was faith alive, but there was also a lingering hope that we were dealing with honourable counterparts.
