October 29, 2024 Is the Great Pyramid of Giza an Ancient Wonder or a Tourism Scam? Both. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only standing Ancient Wonder of the World, and one of the most likely tourist attraction to be totally scammed in the world. We were scammed recently, but still managed to save money when compared to licensed tour operators. The scam also let us reflect on the nature of economic trade and how to improve your chances of making more money in the current practically infinite (PI) world economy.   Why visit the Great Pyramid of Giza? Bragging rights. Visiting the Great Pyramid of Giza is on the bucket list of many aspiring world travelers. Built around 4,500 years ago for Pharaoh Khufu, the Great Pyramid of Giza is the only remaining wonder of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The Great Pyramid of Giza is definitely a must visit tourist site. The way we see it, there are two type of world travelers: those who have visited the Great Pyramid and those who haven'

October 26, 2024 Is dopamine an organic molecule? Yes, dopamine is an organic molecule. Life on Earth is an incredibly complex cellular network built on the interplay between organic molecules. We believe that the complexity derives from the fact that the process relies on evolution and natural selection without any smart design. That is a topic for another day. In this post, we simply build a rough primer to serve as foundation for more learning. We touch briefly on organic molecules, cells, neurons, neurotransmitters, and dopamine. Read it as a refresher. Part I. Organic Molecules Organic molecules are compounds primarily made up of carbon (H) bonded to other elements, most commonly hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and sulfur (S). These CHON-PS compounds form the basis of life as we know it on Earth.  Carbon Backbone Organic molecules are distinguished by the presence of carbon-carbon (C-C) or carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds. The defining feature of organic molecul

October 22, 2024 Market correction after the elections? You bet.  Based on the latest polls, we are confident on our prediction that Donald Trump will win the elections. Hillary lost to Trump even though she was significantly ahead on the polls. Kamala Harris is not significantly ahead, not even in the national polls, which are irrelevant to the electoral college vote results. Biden was also significantly ahead on the polls by now. Again, Harris is not ahead significantly.  Harris and Trump are head to head on all polls in all seven battleground states that will decide the elections for the rest of the US and the world. These seven states are North Carolina, Wisconsin, Arizona, Nevada, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. Trump will most likely win the majority of the battleground states, if not all together. Why? Racism.  Racism against non-white immigrants. Pushing Trump to the victory lane this year will be a record number of black and Latino voters. Why? These minorities do not wan

October 22, 2024 What are we, where do we come from, where are we going, and how do we succeed in this life? We are working on an ebook to address these existential and practical questions. The ebook, which we may title "Success: Mastering the Art of Pain Relief", should serve as yet another a guide for humans on Earth. The draft so far addresses topics ranging from the beginning of the universe (Big Bang) to the potential end of the universe (Big Rip, Big Crunch, Big Freeze), and everything in between. The information is practically infinite (PI) so the ebook threads very lightly on many different subjects. Below are snippets on 25 different subjects.    1. Everything is Energy We often wonder what are we and what is everything else around us. Well, the simplest answer is that everything in this universe is energy (the capacity to do work). This capacity to do work called energy cannot be created and cannot be destroyed. Energy can only be transformed. That is, the capacity

October 18, 2024  Why BIDU and DJT are the only two stocks we're holding? BIDU and DJT are essentially the only stocks we're holding within our "F5" (fun 5%) portfolio because we have been unable to find any values in the current market. We have sold almost everything else, holding most of the F5 fund in cash. Almost every company that we look into appears to be grossly overvalued at the moment. The stock market is due for a correction, and will correct sooner or later. That's guaranteed. Markets are always cyclical; always. For now, we're enjoying holding BIDU and DJT, two super risky holdings for different reasons.  Part I. Baidu (Ticker: BIDU) Baidu, Inc. is the Chinese copy of Google. It was founded on January 1, 2000 by Robin Li and Eric Xu. The company is headquartered in Beijing, China. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has a tight grip and overview over the company. Baidu is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol BIDU and on the Hong Kon

October 17, 2024 Is the Trump Media rally over, and how some people make so much money so easily? By "Trump Media rally" we mean the current 90% increase of the share price of the DJT stock. The stock went down 5% today, which begs the question of whether the rally is over for good or is just taking a breather. Below let's take a quick look at what the DJT stock is all about.  The DJT Stock: Billions For Airing the Truth or From True Thin Air Once upon a time, Trump refused to acknowledge defeat in the 2020 elections. On January 6, 2021 Trump incited supporters to storm the US Capitol in an attempt to stop the transition of power to Biden. Two days after Trump's insurrection, Twitter expelled Trump from its platform.  [Note: Twitter did the right thing. After all, Trump misused the platform to spread lies and conspiracy theories and to promote the insurrection attempt.] For a normal person, the expulsion from Twitter would have been "bad" or a failure. For t

Why is Barack Obama happy to hear that Trump may win the elections? Michelle 2028. To be sure, Barack Obama doesn't like Trump and doesn't want him to win again. However, if Trump wins, Michelle Obama may have a chance of becoming the first woman President of the United States (POTUS). If Kamala Harris wins, she will become the first woman POTUS, and it the chances of Michelle Obama ever running for president, or being elected, would be slim to none. A Trump victory would be in the Obama's best interests.  Who will win the elections? No one knows because the future has not been created yet. Our prediction as of today, October 16, 2024, remains that Trump will win. Moreover, we think that Trump will defeat Harris by an even larger margin than by the one he beat Hillary Clinton. In 2016, Trump was a racist experiment of the far right. In 2024, Trump is a proven racist of the whole country.  Our sense is that the majority of American voters in the key battleground states want

October 15, 2024 What is the universe and what it is made of? As far as we know, we're all energy, spun into different arrays and combinations. There are a few fundamental particles that are combined to form everything else in the universe. The fundamental particles are the basic ingredients that gravity spins into the different forces and forms that shape everything else including ourselves. The fundamental particles are divided in two categories (bosons and fermions) based on three fundamental properties (mass, spin, and charge). The universe is the "matrix" (place or platform) where things are created (transformed) since the beginning of time. These energy transformations will continue until the end of time, when they will probably find a way to begin all over again.   Fundamental Particles: Bosons and Fermions (BFFs) (best friends forever) The fundamental particles are the indivisible building blocks of the universe. They are classified based on their characteristics
