My new op-ed in @dcexaminer. There's a lot we can do to prevent crime. But when crime does occur, consequences should follow swiftly & with certainty. That's not what happens today. We need to solve more crimes, more quickly. How? More detectives, better training, smarter use
Most Americans assume that if you commit a serious crime, you’ll likely face consequences. The reality is starkly different. Even for the most serious crime — murder — the national clearance rate hovers around 55%. | RESTORING AMERICA

Happiness is presence. A very small percentage of our brain is focused on the present. Most of the time, its worry about the future or regretting the past. This is what makes being grateful so hard.

Companies that enter the market at the right moment, during the creation of hype, gain an invaluable first-mover advantage. They enjoy early access to funding, widespread publicity, and the ability to attract top-tier talent

Currently, AI is at peak of hype cycle, implying: 1. Investment will flow to most visionary companies 2. Much will change before sustainable revenue 3. Best funded in hype period will be best positioned to navigate the turmoil
