My previous article - The Coming AI Revolution - written in October of 2025 predicted (along with AI) that 50% of the humans in 22 categories of jobs would be replaced by AI in 2025.  I listed hundreds of other job categories with predictions for the coming years as well.  So, now that 2025 is over, did those predictions come true?  In a word, yes.  Yes, they did. Overall, e ntry-level hiring is down ~73%; freelance volume is down ~50%; and admin job postings are down ~40%.  The economy is currently in "jobless growth" for these specific sectors. The work is getting done (often faster/cheaper), but the human roles are vanishing from the bottom up, as predicted.  Some are a little less than 50% replaced at this point, while some are a little more.   Here are the 22 jobs that I (in conjunction with AI) predicted would be 50% replaced by AI in 2025 and the results now that 2025 is over: 1 | Data Entry Clerks | Status: Confirmed (>50% Replacement)...

For decades, the medical establishment has operated under the shadow of a singular, indestructible myth: that cholesterol is a deadly villain and lowering it is the ultimate key to heart health. This "cholesterol madness" began not with a breakthrough discovery, but with a series of scientifically questionable maneuvers by a young biologist named Ancel Keys. In a landmark 1953 paper titled Atherosclerosis, a Problem in Newer Public Health , Keys presented his Diet-Heart Hypothesis, claiming a near-perfect correlation between dietary fat and heart disease mortality across six countries. However, it was later revealed that Keys had cheated; he had reliable data for twenty-two countries but hand-picked the six that fit his theory while discarding the sixteen that disproved it. To ensure his theory’s dominance, Keys suppressed evidence linking smoking to heart attacks, fearing that a competing theory based on oxidative stress would dismantle his purely correlational dietary claim...

The United States spends nearly 18% of its GDP on healthcare—roughly $4.5 trillion annually—yet ranks poorly among developed nations in life expectancy and chronic disease outcomes. We do not have a healthcare system; we have a "sick-care" administration system, burdened by layers of bureaucracy, artificial scarcity, cartel-like pricing, and a failure to address the root causes of illness, all driven by artificial regulations and misaligned incentives that collectively break the entire system. Tinkering around the edges will not fix this. Achieving a dramatic reduction in costs—cutting expenses and premiums by 50% while improving access—requires a synchronized blitzkrieg of policy reforms. We must simultaneously unleash free-market competition, eliminate administrative waste and fraud, end price-gaming schemes, restore clinical freedom, and, most critically, shift the paradigm from managing chronic disease to cultivating metabolic health. Repeal "Certificate of Need...

The core of prophetic understanding has been obscured by modern sensationalism, distracting believers from a monumental truth: the prophecies concerning the “last days,” the “Great Tribulation,” and the “coming of the Son of Man” were fulfilled historically in the first century A.D. This event—the catastrophic destruction of Jerusalem and the Holy Temple in A.D. 70—did not signal the end of the physical world, but rather the definitive end of the Old Covenant era and the beginning of a new spiritual reality. The popular modern idea of a sudden, dramatic ending preceded by a “rapture” is a recent theological invention, entirely absent from church history prior to the 19th century. A far older and more consistent view understands the Kingdom of God as unfolding progressively through history. This perspective aligns with the testimony of spiritual maturity and stands in stark contrast to the materialist fixations of futurism. The strongest pillar supporting this historical interpretation ...

Having worked in the IT industry for over 30 years, and in my current role managing an IT Managed Service Provider, I’m seeing dramatic changes I’ve never seen before. I’m utilizing Artificial Intelligence (AI) extensively to automate processes for us and our clients. We obviously still need humans, but the capabilities of AI agents are very real. Don’t take the AI and robotics revolution for granted. The advances we’re seeing are extremely dramatic—this is like the Industrial Revolution, electricity, the personal computer revolution, and the Internet all rolled into one. This technology will change the world dramatically, hopefully for the better, but there is massive and inevitable change coming in the next few years, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride—especially for those who aren’t utilizing it now. If you aren’t currently using AI to become more efficient and as a force multiplier—especially at your job—you will get run over by competitors who are, during this period of transition....
