My name is Jason Barrett. I am a Christian, married to Stephani, the father of five boys, the CEO of Go Local Interactive, I am way into Bitcoin, the market, and where we are headed as a country. I also own https://rats.io and https://houston.com.

What shall we say to these things since God is for us. - Romans 8:31 (another interpretation based on the Greek interpretation)

The claim to equality, outside the strictly political field, is made only by those who feel themselves to be in some way inferior. - C.S. Lewis in Screwtape Proposes a Toast

It is always the novice who exaggerates. The man who has risen in society is over-refined, the young scholar is pedantic. C.S. Lewis in The Screwtape Letters

Aim at heaven and you will get earth 'thrown in': aim at earth and you will get neither. - C.S. Lewis

Once the element of competition has gone, pride has gone. - C.S. Lewis

But if you decide to make thrills your regular diet and try to prolong them artificially, they will get weaker and weaker, and fewer and fewer, and you will be a bored, disillusioned old man for the rest of your life. - C.S. Lewis

Very often what God first helps us towards is not the virtue itself but just this power of always trying again. - C.S. Lewis

It is easy to think we want something when we do not really want it. - C.S. Lewis

A real desire to believe all the good you can of others and to make others as comfortable as you can will solve most of the problems. - C.S. Lewis

Most of us are not really approaching the subject in order to find out what Christianity says: we are approaching it in the hope of finding support from Christianity for the views of our own party. - C.S. Lewis

For Christianity is a fighting religion. - C.S. Lewis

There is nothing progressive about being pig headed and refusing to admit a mistake. - C.S. Lewis

The world is such a big place. The more of the world I see, the more I realize we are all the same, but in different ways.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” - Isaiah 6:8 NIV

My thoughts on AI usage mirror those of Tobi at Shopify. It is a baseline expectation. Well put Tobi.

Good video from Jack Dorsey at the Africa Bitcoin Conference. He is saying that people scrolling through social media are actually doing free work for those companies. I've never heard it put that way and it makes perfect sense.

Do you happen to remember the title? I am looking to soak up his theories. I have a feeling he is right with my early understanding of his assertions about the market.

Just started reading "Adaptive Markets: Financial Evolution at the Speed of Thought" by Andrew W. Lo.

Looked at "The Man Who Solved the Market: How Jim Simons Launched the Quant Revolution" by Gregory Zuckerman. I realized I had already read it. ChatGPT recommended "Adaptive Markets" in a group of suggestions. I am going to start there and then move along.
