Dreams, Stories, and Innovation

Innovation and Prosperity are Driven by Government Policy

American politicians have no idea where growth comes from at the level of national economies. And if our nation is not prosperous, then companies find it hard to be prosperous.

There’s something fundamentally wrong with our economy. And what we see in the economy is a summary of what’s going on in most companies as well.

~ Clayton Christensen

Economic growth and new jobs come from disruptive innovation. The American economy is producing about a third of the number of disruptive innovations that it did in the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s. We are taking a lot more jobs out with efficiency innovation than we are creating with disruptive innovation. That’s what’s wrong with the American economy.

If China can’t buy from the United States, they’ll just build it themselves. So the US has to be careful. China is a very important market for the technology industry.

Chinese officials are asking domestic tech giants to buy locally-made AI chips instead of Nvidia’s, The Information reported on Monday.

Major tech companies like Alibaba, Baidu, TikTok parent company ByteDance, and Tencent were told to pare back their spending on foreign-made chips like Nvidia’s, the outlet reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

Thanks to Jensen and the Nvidia team, for bringing us the most advanced GPUs to make this demo possible today.

OpenAI unveiled its latest model Monday — and the company gave a shoutout to AI’s kingmaker.

OpenAI CTO Mira Murati thanked Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, for providing the microchips that allowed the AI startup to demo its brand-new GPT-4o model.

The LORD is the everlasting God

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

~ Isaiah 40:28-29

What do we do when we find it impossible to realize our dreams in the everyday world? We need a transfusion of primordial energy from the sacred realm of the deep psyche.

The NBA playoffs are when competition peaks and tempers flare. But in a change of pace, Josh Hart received a random shoutout from Dallas Mavericks‘ point guard Kyrie Irving.

“I think Josh Hart had a tremendous quote,” Irving told reporters on May 11. “Where he talked about people having 12-hour shifts and we get to go out there and play the game that we love. We have ascended here because a lot of hard work.”

"I think Josh Hart had a tremendous quote where he talked about people having 12-hour shifts & we get to go out there & play a game that we love. I think that was the nail right on the head for a lot of us & the way we feel…"

Everything you do right now is grounded in your unconscious assumptions about the nature of the universe. The entirety of your perceptual experience is a neuronal fantasy that remains yoked to the world through a continuous making and remaking of perceptual best guesses, of controlled hallucinations.

Genocide is the Logical Conclusion

Trump Leads in 5 Key States, as Young and Nonwhite Voters Express Discontent With Biden (New York Times)

Donald J. Trump leads President Biden in five crucial battleground states, a new set of polls shows, as a yearning for change and discontent over the economy and the war in Gaza among young, Black and Hispanic voters threaten to unravel the president’s Democratic coalition.

The surveys found that Mr. Trump was ahead among registered voters in a head-to-head matchup against Mr. Biden in five of six key states: Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Mr. Biden led among registered voters in only one battleground state, Wisconsin.

America’s War on Young People

In the students’ eyes, the Gaza conflict is a struggle for justice, linked to issues that seem far afield. They say they are motivated by policing, mistreatment of Indigenous people, discrimination toward Black Americans and the impact of global warming.

Former United States President Donald Trump has claimed that pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses are more hateful than the infamous 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

America’s best days are ahead of us once we reject fear, and choose love, empathy, courage, and curiosity.

The Great American Stagnation

A typical American family in 2019 had a net worth slightly lower than the typical American family in 2001. There has not been such a long period of wealth stagnation since the Great Depression.

One of things that limits Tom Thibodeau as a coach is his mental rigidity and predictability.

For Game 3, Thibodeau needs to switch things up.

Should consider the following starting lineup for Game 3 against the Indiana Pacers: Jericho Sims, Precious Achiuwa, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo, and Miles McBride.

Put up a lot of 3-point shots and focus on rebounding.

Ryan Grim Think Again About God

The following discussion on Christianity and religion is based on very shallow thinking on all sides.

John Davidson: There’s really only one alternative to Christianity and it’s not secularism, it’s paganism.

From Pagan America:

Tim Keller explains this idea far more deeply and cogently than Davidson.

The Most Cherish Ideas of Western Culture Come from the Bible

Where did the idea of individual rights come from? It came from Christian roots, or it came from biblical roots, Judea-Christian roots. It comes from Genesis. It comes in the idea that every human being is made in the image of God.

Most political campaigns are based on very shallow thinking.

The Great American Stagnation

A typical American family in 2019 had a net worth slightly lower than the typical American family in 2001. There has not been such a long period of wealth stagnation since the Great Depression.

China and Russia believe that they will emerge as the new center for global power.

Millions of Americans have lost faith in any kind of religion.

For a society to be free and for men and women to flourish all man-made gods must perish, and there is no better way to accomplish this feat than an authentic religious revival. When men and women acknowledge their roots in a divine God, and when they orient their lives in pursuit of a harmonious connection with God, they do not unconsciously fall victim to inferior secular alternatives.
