Your ability to compete

A nation’s ability to fight a modern war is as good as its technological ability.

The market is no different — it is war.

And to fight it, you need the best technology.

The problem is, everyone’s using technology someone else already knows about — and that’s how alpha decays.

Once the edge becomes visible, it’s gone.

My technology isn’t code or hardware.

It’s presence — and believe it or not, it’s the only way to win.

Presence is the final form of discretion.

They’re interlinked — two sides of a single intelligence.

Together, they create a living form of technology — one capable of competing with, and outperforming, every pre-existing system.

I’ve had legions of expats and Asians work for me over the years.

And when you look at that global workforce —— you realize something profound:

with the advent of breakthroughs like AI, the low-hanging fruit is gone.

Every model, every framework, every algorithm is now a mirror of someone else’s abstraction.

But presence — that’s the one thing they can’t replicate.

If this were a model, there would be thousands of competitors.

But the market doesn’t reward imitation.

It only responds to presence — the one signal that still causes resolution.

The reality is this:

if you think of most people in the field of finance, they don’t have presence.

That’s how you know it’s the final frontier.

They don’t have presence — and that’s why they’re caught in so many scandals, collapses, and recursive failures.

Their strength isn’t presence — socially or professionally — their strength is abstraction.

And the only way to combat abstraction — the endless drift of concepts and optics — is to instill presence.

To bring consequence back into the equation.

To make every move real.

Presence isn’t installed.
