The BRICS Shake-Up: New Members, New Realities for Markets and Your Portfolio
The world order just shifted on its axis. On January 1st, 2024, the BRICS bloc exploded from its original five members (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) to a formidable ten, welcoming Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iran, and Ethiopia. This historic expansion ripples through the global landscape, promising significant impacts on markets, currencies, and the very notion of economic power.
Dollars on Ice? A Potential Shift in Currency Dominance:
The implications for forex markets are particularly intriguing. The enlarged BRICS presents a united front against the traditional dominance of the US dollar. With their vast natural resources, diversifying economies, and growing regional influence, these new members hold the potential to reduce reliance on the dollar, both in trade and international reserves.

AI is the Neat Handwriting of the Illiterate
A model in the hands of someone who has read the filing and walked the plant is a clerk. The same model, speaking for someone who has done neither, is a disguise. On AI slop, phantom citations and factslop, why finish stopped being evidence of work, and the containment layer KXCO built so a machine cannot speak as the institution until a source is attached.
Worthship: Do Not Conform to the Age
Worthship is the older English word for worship, and it means to ascribe worth. Bishop Robert Barron preached Romans 12 on 30 August. This essay follows the text into the prison letters, and puts two questions to a graph: do the four readings of that Sunday agree, and was Paul free or in chains when he wrote about despair?
The Truth in All Its Ugliness Must Survive
A majority vote does not determine the truth. Consensus is a mood, gossip is a sport, and a model will write the pretty version for free. Why the ugly number has to survive, why a record beats a dashboard, and what KXCO was built to keep standing when the room changes its mind.
Don't Be the Best, Be the Only: Winning in an AI World
AI is repricing competence downward. What it cannot reproduce is a life. The case for remaining non-fungible, why friction still produces the best ideas, and what it means to build AI systems that keep the human intellect in them.
