The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, admits that the trillions of dollars being used to build data centers and power grids will come from ordinary people’s savings accounts and pension funds, and says it is mandatory.
He says America needs trillions in AI infrastructure spending, and that people will be forced to “invest” in it.
“Much of this will come from savings accounts and pension accounts.”

The 14th-century scholar Ibn Khaldun identified that the best predictor of a culture’s longevity was not GDP or military power, but an “invisible glue” that held society together.
He called it asabiyyah — it roughly translates to "group solidarity," and simply means that a people are willing to fight and die for the larger group.
In the West today, we're notably lacking in asabiyyah, while competing groups remain commited to their in-group preferences. It will have huge consequences for us in the decades to come.

The truth is blacks are basically thuggish school yard bullies. In most cases they’ll only physically attack a White man when they see weakness or a vulnerability they can exploit (ie coming up from behind to sucker punch or attacking in packs) . The second you defend yourself and send them packing they’ll go running to the police to snitch like bitches. That’s when the regime will come in and do the real dirty work that incompetent black thugs cannot. This is what’s happening with the case of Chud the builder.

“During the 11th century, the German emperors, kings, and princes granted the Jews the privilege that stolen goods found in their possession could only be reclaimed upon payment of a price set by them. This made them the most dishonorable buyers of all stolen and looted property. The same Jew who, at the front of his shop, lent money at interest to the common people as the first capitalist profiteer, bought stolen goods in the back alleys of the dark ghetto—goods which, because of his privilege, no one was permitted to take from him. Here lies the reason for the flood of Hebrew swear words in criminal language; here lies the ancient alliance between Judaism and criminality, clearly manifested in Bolshevism; but here also lies the reason for the criminal morality, or immorality, of the wealthy class of non-Jewish people, who elevated the principle of capitalism of Jewish origin—that “business walks over corpses”—into their worldview.
Deeply torn apart by this alien and destructive spirit, the citizen, unconsciously and complacently practicing the methods developed by the Jewish usurer of the early Middle Ages, the worker—thus driven by Marxism alongside criminality and under Jewish leadership to destroy his own people—this was how Adolf Hitler, as a young man, looked in horror upon the face of his people, while the broad and comfortable peace of the pre–First World War era refused to see such things.”
— Dr. Johann von Leers. “Entwicklung des Nationalsozialismus Von Seinem Anfang Bis Zur Gegenwart”, Zweite Auflage, Verlag von Velhagen & Klasing Bielefeld und Leipzig, 1936.

Helen Andrews made a point that feels increasingly hard to ignore.
The shift from blue-collar to pink-collar jobs hasn’t just changed the economy; it’s quietly fueling a marriage crisis. Studies on areas hit hard by the China shock showed the sharpest drops in marriage rates happened where men lost stable work. When men aren’t economically flourishing, family formation stalls. You can’t simply swap who brings home the paycheck and expect the same results.
She argues we need more real manufacturing jobs — not just for economic security against China, but because strong male employment is a key driver of the next generation.
This one made me pause. We’ve celebrated the “feminization” of the workforce as progress for decades, but if it’s contributing to fewer marriages and fewer kids, maybe we’re missing something important.
Economies aren’t just about GDP. They’re about people building lives, families, and futures. When the job market stops supporting that for half the population, the downstream effects are massive.
Do you think bringing back more stable manufacturing jobs could help fix the marriage and birth rate decline, or is that too simplistic?

Brené Brown, researcher and author, on the contradiction she keeps hearing in rooms full of tech billionaires:
Her work puts her in rooms where the founders and CEOs of major tech platforms talk openly about how they think.
What @BreneBrown hears there unsettles her:
"So I hear someone say, 'Hey, you know, tech billionaire, what should my kids study? I'm worried for my kids… they should study coding, physics,' and then five minutes later, as if that answer didn't happen, someone will say, 'What do you attribute your success to?' I mean deeply when you think about it, and the same person will say, 'My deep reading of philosophy and the stoics.'"
The contradiction is what stops her: the same people crediting philosophy and the liberal arts for their own success are telling other parents their kids should focus on coding and physics.
That gap leads her to a bigger, more uncomfortable question:
"I start to extrapolate from there and wonder if there is a thinking class that's emerging where they're like, 'We're going to read philosophy and we're going to read the liberal arts and we're going to study history, and the rest of you just keep scrolling. Don't worry about the big words. We'll handle all the big words for you.'"
She points to Steve Jobs as an early signal of the same pattern:
"It's like when they asked Steve Jobs, 'Boy, your kids must love the iPad.' Steve Jobs said, 'My kids don't have an iPad.' And then his biographer who spent time with his family said he wasn't kidding. There's no technology. At dinner, they're talking about art and history."
The takeaway is simple but uncomfortable.
The people building these platforms are protecting their own kids from them, and giving them books, ideas, and real conversation instead.
So why are the rest of us being sold something different?
