AI – Agency is the new superpower

Agency is the new superpower. With AI, intelligence is no longer scarce — but agency is. This has implications. Jeff Giesea, Mar 14, 2025.  PDF 

    • I’ve come to believe that agency — the ability to start, decide, act, adapt, and follow through — is rising in importance as AI continues to spread. We’re used to seeing raw intelligence as the ultimate advantage, but something is shifting. Intelligence is now everywhere. It’s on tap. It’s no longer scarce. The rare thing now is the ability and will to use it effectively.
    • Today, when I see the “You can just do stuff” memeI think: Yeah, that’s it. That’s the vibe of this new era. A high IQ and elite credentials are wonderful attributes, but who cares? In a world where intelligence is everywhere, anyone can put points on the board and add to the march of human progress.

Matthew 28:16-20. NIV  The Great Commission
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Indiana GOP – Republicans Not in Good Standing?

What is a “Republican?”  “Political Conservatism” can be defined as maintaining what works and working to improve what does not in the context of the Constitution.  A political conservative is generally associated with the Republican Party. 

U.S. Constitution. Article I, Section 4, Clause 1: The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Congress may at any time by Law make or alter such Regulations, except as to the Places of chusing Senators.

The U.S. Constitution allows States to develop their own rules governing political parties, primary elections, and their respective candidates. 

Rule 1-25. The term “Republican in Good-Standing” shall be defined as a Republican who supports Republican nominees and who does not actively or openly support another candidate against a Republican nominee.  A Regional or County Party chair is exempt from this rule.   

President Trump could be considered “Not ” a Republican in Good Standing by precedents established by the Indiana GOP.   Trump has criticized other Republican candidates, and in his lifetime, has voted and given money to non-Republican candidates.

10 Secluded Towns Lost in the Hills of Indiana’s Rugged Brown County Region

10 Secluded Towns Lost in the Hills of Indiana’s Rugged Brown County Region By Jon Dykstra, 2025-02-25

Tucked away in the rolling hills and thick woodlands of southern Indiana, Brown County is a haven for those seeking solitude, scenic beauty, and a touch of history. With winding backroads leading to forgotten hamlets, hidden valleys, and forested retreats, this region is filled with secluded communities that feel worlds away from modern life.
