The Only Armor Is Resolution.
Look at what’s happening.
Trump has become a target.
Political influencers have become targets.
Executives have become targets.
Even the biggest companies have become targets.
Why?
Because they add endlessly to the social discourse.
They add to the narrative.
But do they resolve anything?
Not really.
And do they resolve things of consequence?
Not really.
On the other side, those with nothing to lose are communicating in their own way — by trying to take these figures out. That asymmetry is the risk. This isn’t “cancel culture.” This is something deeper: the cost of being visible without resolution.
Authorship is the way.
Do things.
Resolve things.
Don’t seek validation where it’s empty.
Validation counts only in consequence:
How does the market respond?
What does the P&L say?
Is the product, the service, the action real?
That is the only armor.
Not discourse.
Not posturing.
Not becoming a figurehead.
In this world, presence without consequence is exposure.
Authorship — doing the thing, resolving, creating receipts — is the only defense.
And here’s the difference: I am 10–20 years ahead of the entire Street. If the Street doesn’t want to accept it, if they don’t give me validation, that doesn’t matter. The market gives me validation.
And the market’s validation is the only one that counts.
If the Street eventually accepts it, if they give me valuation — that’s nice, but never mandatory. Even then, the assets I build and the presence I hold remain invisible. Yet I would still control the tempo of the world’s market — and everything else flows downstream from that.
Because I live in consequence and resolution.
Not performance.
