Polemics

Uncertainty brings opportunity. The many avoid it. The powerful exploit it.

Your body leads. Your brain follows. Articulation is the switch.

Most people optimize the trivial and ignore the critical. Here's how to stop.

Most work is theater. It looks productive, feels productive, produces nothing.

If you decide not to be harmed, you have not been harmed. Most people miss the mechanism.

Most people optimize for the wrong things.

You're one eye movement away from a completely different state.

A tactician gets one thing done with one action. A strategist achieves 100 outcomes with one action. The difference is leverage.

If it doesn't help you win, it's hurting you.

Fuller saw this coming 87 years ago. Ephemeralization is here. The companies that win will do more with less until they can do everything with nothing.

Accumulation gets you started. Multiplication makes it grow. Protection keeps it alive. Most people only do one of the three.

Clear thinking is not a gift. It is not a genetic predisposition. It is achieved by design, or it is not achieved at all.
