“Never,” says Sam, “did I think this would happen.” He’s been a car guy for years.

January 25, 2021 | Fourth Turning Detonation

“Americans today fear that linearism (alias the American Dream) has run its course. Many would welcome some enlightenment about history’s patterns and rhythms, but today’s intellectual elites offer little that’s useful. Caught between the entropy of the chaoticists and the hubris of the linearists, the American people have lost their moorings.” – Strauss & Howe […]

January 25, 2021 | The Markets in Light of the Chaos

January 25, 2021 | Hey Snowflakes…

In researching the latest dance moves on TikTok (did you realize Michael Jackson is back?) over the weekend, a poignant vid popped up.

January 24, 2021 | The Target

My great-grandfather, Ebenezer Vining Bodwell, seems like a cool dude. He went to Ottawa as an MP in Canada’s first Parliament (1867). Later he ran Ontario’s Welland Canal and afterwards took over the books of the Canadian Pacific Railroad. That eventually led him to Vancouver in 1887 (a year after the city was incorporated), where […]

January 24, 2021 | When ‘Money of the Mind’ Dies

  A little more than two decades ago, amidst the wild excesses of the dot-com boom, I wrote what turned out to be an epitaph for those heady times in the The San Francisco Examiner.
