He’s Watching 🧵
If you read the messages I write — Eyes on Him will be very familiar to you. But as important as it is for us to keep our eyes on Him — it is also just as important to know that His eyes are on us.

The Word tells us this, “For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward Him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9)
The LORD is watching to see whose heart is perfect, or loyal to Him.
Who are you loyal to beloved — a person — or the LORD?

The United Kingdom has an extraordinarily proud military history. It commands our respect. There is again a great need for more British military strength in this critical time. We urge the UK to meet that need with urgency, scale, and determination. 1/
As I said recently in Normandy, “Here soldiers, sailors, and airmen from Great Britain and Canada demonstrated the courage, tenacity, dedication, daring, and loyalty that won them the lasting admiration and gratitude of the whole world – not only here in Normandy but also through the entirety of two World Wars…” 2/

Here are the best factors that drive outperformance: (number 3 is the best 🧵)
1. Size Effect
"Small-cap stocks outperform medium and large companies in 11 out of 12 cases"
Smaller stocks tend to perform better, but it's not the only contributor.

2. Value Effect
"A low book-to-market value (B/M < 1), i.e., low equity and relatively high market cap, implies that investors are paying more for a company than its net assets are worth."
Don't overpay - Overpaying tends to drive underperformance.

This murder from 1904 is almost exactly like Karmelo Anthony and Austin Metcalf: At a high-school track practice in Kansas City, a group of black kids shout insults from the stands; the white captain comes over and asks them to stop; a black teenager shoots him in the heart.
State law required all high schools in Kansas to be integrated, but after Roy Martin was murdered, in response to public demand, the state legislature passed a law permitting Kansas City to open a segregated high school for black students.
Lots of original news articles about this case and the reaction here. “We are not accusing the [black] pupils of the high school with being responsible for Roy Martin's death, but we want to show how we feel about cold blooded murder,” a male student said. arthes.com/community/shoo…
Joe Rogan spent 3 hours with James Nestor learning that most people breathe wrong every minute of every day.
But, nobody talks about the scariest part:
Your breath can teach your body to panic.
Shallow breathing tells your nervous system:
“Something is wrong.”
Here are 6 breathing shifts that can lower anxiety in minutes: 👇

1. What Nestor told Rogan stopped me cold:
People with anxiety have an unusually low threshold for CO2.
Their nervous system panics at the first sign of carbon dioxide rising — which means they're breathing in a constant, low-grade state of alarm.
They've trained their body to fear its own breath.

They've trained their body to fear its own breath.
This is the biology of Protection Patterns.
Your nervous system learned: something is wrong, stay ready.
So it keeps you in a shallow, rapid breath cycle — even when you're safe.
The breath isn't causing the anxiety.
The anxiety is running the breath.
That's the difference between technique and transformation.

1. The Buyer Decoder
I'm selling [product or service] to [target buyer].
Before I write any copy, get inside their head. Tell me their top 3 desires, their top 3 fears, and the exact words they'd use to describe the problem.
Then name the one objection that kills most deals before they start.
No personas. Real, specific language they'd actually say.

2. The Offer Angle Finder
Here's my offer: [describe it, with price].
Give me 5 different angles to position it, each leading with a different desire or pain from the buyer's head.
For each angle, write the one-line promise it would headline with.
Then tell me which angle is strongest for a cold audience and why.

For the builders and founders out there, I am going to share our playbook on how you can scale OpenClaw (it probably applies to Hermes as well) instances for your SaaS, because we are not building in that space anymore
In our first iteration for @QasperAI we were providing OpenClaw instances through our own app. Users could download the mobile app and use OpenClaw as their personal agent, via our own interface. The goal was to democratize Openclaw usage for people who have no idea what hosting and agents are.
There are big 3 problems when you are building in that space:
1. Speed (How quick you provision the environment)
2. Security (How to not lose everything)
3. Memory (Store user data across sessions)
I will break down each of them below

2. Security (How to not lose everything)
3. Memory (Store user data across sessions)
I will break down each of them below
1. Speed
This was one of the bigger bottlenecks. An OpenClaw instance needs around 6-15 seconds to start from a cold state (it depends on where you are hosting your app)
That is a very long time for a user to stare at a screen. In order to provide a good UX, this needs to be done in less than 3 seconds, since you can probably hide 1-2 seconds via other tricks.
The way we solved it was with warm containers. We used Docker for our implementation, but there are better approaches out there.
When the app starts, we created 8 warm containers, they contained no credentials, new instances, nothing. Just an OpenClaw instance. When a user logged in, they would claim that container and we would assign it to them. In the background we would create another warm container, trying to keep our warm container count always at 8

2. Memory
Memory came next. Since we were provisioning fresh instances, all the user data was missing.
We solved that with storage (S3). Everytime a user closed their session, we uploaded the agent memory and user preferences in a bucket. The next time the same user logged in, we would download their memory from the bucket and inject it in their fresh instance. Overwriting the default state with the user one from the previous session.

A cross-chain message should not be trusted just because it arrives. Here is how Canary verifies one before it ever settles, in four steps.
Step one, the source. Canary reads chain data only from certificate-pinned endpoints. If an imposter RPC presents a mismatched certificate, it is rejected before it is ever read. An entire class of man-in-the-middle attacks is shut out at the source.
Step two, the enclave. Verification runs inside a hardware-isolated trusted execution environment, with attestation proving the exact code is running and unmodified. The operator cannot see inside it or change what it does.

A talking stage isn't ideally about how long you talk, but how well you complement each other.

Understand that zodiac compatibility explains how complementary your lives will be.
This is important when you are dating for a long-term relationship and not a fling.
The zodiac helps explain behavioural patterns. A life path number shows motivation and career paths.

How a £1-an-acre trick is quietly handing Britain's industrial commons to AI companies, and why nobody has connected the dots until now.

1/ THE TEESSIDE DEAL: Two businessmen got the right to buy public land for £1/acre in 2021. The public body that owns it spent £450m+ cleaning it up.
This month, they sell 222 acres to Anthropic for £222m.
That's a roughly 1,000x markup, captured almost entirely by two men.

2/ Jobs at the resulting Anthropic data centre: - 200.
Jobs originally promised when Teesside got freeport status in 2021: 20,000.
The £1/acre option sold as a "quick delivery incentive" has become the permanent mechanism for intercepting any investor before they reach the public.

I agree with the sentiment of that viral Oxfam thread about Musk.
But point 2 ("10% of his wealth ends poverty") isn't just naive — it shows how much of the left still thinks inside capitalism. That blind spot hurts us all. 🧵

The thread assumes poverty = lack of money.
So give money → poverty gone.
But under capitalism, money is just a claim on scarce, privately owned resources.
No new houses. No new food. No new energy.
Just more currency chasing the same goods.

What happens then?
Inflation. Rent spikes. Landlords and asset owners capture the transfer.
The poor get temporary relief. The elites get richer.
That’s not a bug. it’s the logic of capitalism.
Redistribution alone doesn’t restructure ownership.
