Chaos and opportunity often come together.

“Stocks have crashed. Something is broken.”

“The US Dollar index has crashed. Something is broken.”

Stocks are back to where they were in May 2024. P/E ratios are mean reverting back towards historical norms.

The US Dollar index is back to where it was in September 2024.

Perhaps this is when we need to take a deep breath and question who actually wants us to believe these hysteria inducing headlines?

As many problems as the USA may have, I would say China’s are worse:

1. China is seeing the slowest growth they’ve had in decades.

2. Their attractiveness as a recipient of Foreign Domestic Investment has come to a halt.

3. They have a very difficult demographic problem of too many old people and not enough young people.

4. They need exports - they do not have the capacity to absorb everything they create.

Come midnight, we will see who blinks first.

You’re already behind.

This is going to be a really long rant but I'm 100% confident this is going to be the most important thing you read today.

This is the most world changing 6 month period in history

Every 30 years or so there is a major technological revolution. The last one was to internet revolution. Before that was the computer revolution. Before that the 2nd industrial revolution and so on

Right now it's the AI revolution and it's 10x more important and more impactful than any other one.

If you use AI right now to build real products that bring real value, you can quite literally create billions of dollars of value out of thin air.

Nothing comes close to this opportunity. Nothing.

Not the dot com revolution. Not the industrial revolution. Nothing.

The biggest reason this is so earth shattering is to succeed when the internet started or really in any other technological revolution, you needed specific skills.

Only a select few could succeed. If you wanted to win when the internet was invented, you needed to know how to code. If you wanted to win when computers were invented, you needed a rich dad who could afford a $40,000 computer.

Those barriers don't exist now. The AI revolution is the first revolution EVER that is completely democratized. Legit anyone who is willing to put in work can create life changing wealth for themselves. AI is free to use and requires 0 skills to use it. To build an app with AI all you need to do is ask the AI to build. It's literally that simple.

The ONLY requirement to succeed with AI is TIME AND EFFORT.

NO OTHER OPPORTUNITY IN HISTORY WAS THIS LOW BARRIER TO ENTRY

And this isn't hand wavy BS. I'm not selling you anything. I have no courses to push down your throat.

This is 100% the reality we are living in right now. It's a gold rush. We are in the middle of the biggest gold rush of all time and 99% of people are wasting their time just doom scrolling get angry over politics and tariffs.

I've proven this is true. I built an app and launched it 2 months ago and create life changing wealth. You can do literally the exact same thing. You don't need any special skills.

I don't write this post for engagement. I don't write it to sell you anything. I write it because I'm obsessed. I'm obsessed with waking people up to the opportunity that's in front of us right now.

I've changed everything I talk about on X to this. I don't care if my audience disappears. I don't care if my bi-weekly X monetization checks goes to 0

If this post even wakes one person up and gets them to start building with AI it was all worth it

While global economies collapse, equal if not larger opportunities are created because of AI.

I swear to God you'll look back at April 2025 in 20 years and go holy f*** I can't believe I wasn't working harder I could have changed everything for myself

We are in the middle of the biggest wealth transfer in this history of the human race. It's Sunday right now. My only ask of you is to spend just 5 minutes using AI to build today. That's it. If you do this you're ahead of 99% of people.

The people who take action on this post will change their lives. The people who don't will continue to be slaves to whatever headlines are on the news

Up to you

Prediction 3: The Rise of Individual Superpowers

Technology gives individuals powers that only big companies used to have.

One person with the right tools can now do the work of an entire organization.

This means YOU can have more impact than ever before.

The language of Trumps post here is very important.

He could have accepted a trade deal with Vietnam immediately and “declare victory”. But he didn’t and instead said he was “looking forward to a meeting in the near future”.

He has wanted tariffs for 40 years. Why would he take them off the table a few days after finally getting his way?

He wants to keep these conditions on the field, see what happens and build leverage. I interpret this that he will take his time to do deals.

This will also have a side benefit. It will force foreign buyers to show up for our upcoming Treasury auctions. Why? Because if a foreign CB abandons the auctions, you can reasonably expect that Trump will put that country at the back of the line to resolve tariffs.
