Good morning. Last night I recorded a long, intense, heavy, and I think interesting, frankly,

because long, because I have a lot to say, intense, heavy, and interesting, because those are

the times we live in. But after sleeping on it, I think the framing of it might have been off.

I framed it given what's happening in the world as the battles of our time.

And I listed over a dozen word pairings that are the battle that we face globally in a macro perspective all the way down to the metacognition

Even the actual kinetic battles are ones that hopefully aren't binary win or lose,

but there are some navigation and compromise and integration of the two sides.

And let's just start there.

which has to do with military power, AI power, financial power with the dollar, et cetera.

But as things unravel in the world, especially with endocrine disrupting chemicals, impacting

our hormones and our sperm count and potentially testosterone and,. Some countries will decline in population.
