AI will be the Savior of America’s economy, not the Destroyer The billions of investment dollars pouring into American AI are by far the largest peacetime capital mobilization in America’s history or the 4th industrial revolution. Although the payoff isn’t guaranteed the setup is real and all of the pieces are in place for this […]
Just as Covid-19 was used as justification to usher in the Great Reset, with vaccines, masks, and isolation rescuing everyone from the virus’s carnage, it appears the trajectory is still on track. As America began disintegrating post Covid-19, attention was only paid to Executive Orders (EO) that rescued Americans and the Constitution from that carnage […]
Who Will Pay for the Power Upgrade? A conservative doesn’t oppose growth. But a conservative does insist that the people who build private facilities pay their own way instead of handing the bill to the grandma down the road. Drive past Kuna and you can see the future being poured in concrete. Meta is building […]
The core conservative argument is economic and geopolitical. The American Enterprise Institute’s work frames AI primarily as a growth engine. In their analysis of whether AI could cause “explosive” economic growth, scholars like Tamay Besiroglu put meaningful odds-on AI dramatically raising productivity potentially many times the roughly 2% annual growth the U.S. has averaged for […]
Three subjects anchor this episode: the Proposition 1 abortion measure on Idaho’s November ballot, a Charlie Kirk memorial held on the Capitol steps, and a working economics lesson on whether new technology destroys jobs. On Proposition 1, the episode makes the case that the measure would push Idaho’s abortion law past where it stood before […]
Driving the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) 4th Industrial Revolution (4IR), “a fundamental change in the way we live, work and relate to one another”, is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is the foundation of 4IR. In this WEF panel discussion video, Generative AI is discussed as The Steam Engine of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The discussion includes […]
As everyone is relentlessly distracted by the daily chaotic events, the movement towards a digital control grid continues to silently be put into place. The Internet of Things (IoT) is essential for feeding the beast known as the artificial intelligence agent (AI Agent) which replaces human problem solving. However, IoT is really a conglomerate of […]
Last week, we talked about China’s AI ambitions and the catastrophic scenario if America loses the AI race. Today, I want to shift focus and talk about what AI means to America. Most people have heard of Adam Smith, even if they haven’t read him. He’s the Scottish economist who gave us the concept of […]
Last week, I talked about the objection to data centers is really about objecting to AI. To understand why American AI leadership matters, you need to understand why China is pursuing AI with such urgency — and what they intend to do with it. China has a serious demographic problem. Decades of the one-child policy […]
Over several decades there has been a myriad of advancements that make driving much safer and reducing the number of deaths. This includes developments such as seat belts, air bags, computer-controlled braking, back up cameras, child safety seats, and technologies that provide driver assistance. As vehicles have become more technologically sophisticated, they can almost drive […]
Last week, I walked through the specific objections to data centers and found most of them don’t hold up under examination. But beneath all of it lies a deeper anxiety that warrants honest engagement: the fear of artificial intelligence itself. That fear is not crazy. It is not fringe. It deserves a straight answer — […]
I ran for a local office this last election in Jefferson County. In one of my cottage meetings, I was asked about data centers. About the same time, there have been many concerns posted on Facebook opposing data centers. Some of the concerns sound alarming—they’ll drain our water, gobble up farmland, and overload our power […]
