JUST IN: 🇺🇸🇮🇷 CIA used a futuristic new tool called "Ghost Murmur" to locate and rescue the second US pilot who was shot down over Iran, NYPost reports.

"The secret technology uses long-range quantum magnetometry to find the electromagnetic fingerprint of a human heartbeat and pairs the data with artificial intelligence software to isolate the signature from background noise."

Hypothesis: Tariffs are a tool to transition America back from its high time preference societal disaster to a more sustainable low time preference future.

The US economy and financial markets have increasingly become a high time preference disaster, focused incessantly on short term outcomes and profit maximization at the detriment of long term societal health and planning for the future. This feature has been exacerbated by grotesque fiat money printing from the US government, running up continued monstrous deficits with no hopes of ending. This has been aided by the myopia of the Federal Reserve favoring asset owners, the wealthy and the banks over all other constituent society. This has contributed to the worst wealth inequality dynamics in this county's history with an increasing number of citizens falling into the lower half of the K shaped economy every day.

This has to stop otherwise we will eventually have a violent fourth turning in America that we will not come back from. However, it won't be an easy transition. It will take time. Some things will break along the way.

Enter Tariffs. This is the tool that the Trump administration will use to help transition the economy back from high time preference to low time preference, will begin to turn back the wealth inequality dial in favor of the 99% over the 1% and will help bring about structural change in America that will eventually lead us to a better place. It will help to bring jobs back to America and help to orchestrate in a better, more peaceful tomorrow that will benefit more than just the rich elites. Tariffs buy us some time to get things in order and restructure the economy and society back to a more sustainable one that works for all Americans. That's a good thing. We need some time.

No one said this would be easy. But Trump and team are at least gonna try. And they are going to break a few things along the way, including some asset prices which frankly need to go lower in order to bring down inflation. Not everything is about the stock market. This is a way to reduce wealth inequality from Wall Street to Main Street which is necessary to have a functioning society in the future.

I wasn't sure if Trump was actually going to be the agent of change given how he ran the first term. But the folks around him this time around (Bessent, Miran, Lutnick, Rubio, etc) seem to understand that this time has to be different. And so it will be. And it looks like it started this weekend.

Thoughts?

Did DeepSeek illegally buy Nvidia's chips?

Since DeepSeek was founded, Nvidia's sales to Singapore are up a WHOPPING +740%.

The US is now PROBING if DeepSeek bought Nvidia's GPUs through third parties in Singapore.

This will have MASSIVE implications.

Introducing Willow, our new state-of-the-art quantum computing chip with a breakthrough that can reduce errors exponentially as we scale up using more qubits, cracking a 30-year challenge in the field. In benchmark tests, Willow solved a standard computation in <5 mins that would take a leading supercomputer over 10^25 years, far beyond the age of the universe(!).
