Prosperity in the USA is, remarkably, broadening. American Enterprise Institute (AEI) finds 31% of Americans are now upper middle class, up from 10% in 1979, and its share of income doubled. Also tech job openings have doubled since mid-2023 to a three-year high, quietly refuting the obituaries for software engineering. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk, but only because more families have become upper-middle class over time. AEI finds that the “core” middle class has shrunk—but so too has the share of Americans with income too low to reach the middle class. The shrinking core middle class is due to a booming upper-middle class. Only the relatively worse-off parts of the middle class have shrunk—and by less than the upper-middle class has grown.

The US jobs report on Friday was surprisingly strong. That’s not the only part of the job market that’s doing better than expected.

My recent post Generative AI is About to Cause Humanity to Fork is one of my most looked at posts. It is about an article by Peter Diamandis of YouTube Metatrends and Moonshots fame. Let me quote the opening paras of his article “Humanity is About to Fork”.

The choices you make in the next five years will determine which branch of the human story you inhabit. Here’s what’s coming, and how to position yourself on the right side of every fork. Peter addresses five major splits that will cleave humanity into groups with dramatically different futures, capabilities, and lifespans: Fork 1. Creators versus Consumers, 2. Fork 2. Longevity Escape Velocity, Fork 3. Brain Computer Interface, Fork 4. Earth versus The Stars, Fork 5. Digital Consciousness (i.e. uploads). Peter then explores the bigger picture and how he intends to face each of these forks. It is a fascinating article. If you have not seen it I suggest you take a look.

Satan has done a devastating job of changing the world’s understanding of the true history of the Cosmos. He has used people like Charles Darwin to convince the world that it did not need a Creator. A Big Bang and Natural Selection is all you need.

When you look at the complex laws that govern the universe and just the complexity of the human body it is difficult to comprehend how scientists cling to the theory of evolution. Fortunately, many scientists like Dr Dean Kenyon, former Professor of Biochemistry at Stanford University and in 1969 was co-author of the book Biochemical Predestination which was adopted in the USA as a graduate textbook and was regarded as the seminal work on the naturalistic formation of living cells from chemicals of the earth. By the 1980’s Kenyon came to the conclusion that intelligent design was needed for life’s beginning. He said the discovery of DNA and the electron microscope rang the death knell of evolution. Why? Because DNA is complex information which cannot be made from matter or energy. Its only source in intelligence of the highest order. Also, the electron microscope revealed that inside every cell there are complex machines to make the chemicals the body needs and transport devices to move them around and they are all controlled by the information on the DNA . There is no way this can evolve by random chance. It is nonsense. Go to http://www.creation.com and http://www.answersingenesis.org for more information on creation versus evolution.
