Journalism renewal does not begin with graphics, platforms, business models, or artificial intelligence. It starts with a decision: to treat people not as targets, but as partners; not as abstractions, but as neighbors. Double-check your sources. Once credibility is lost, it's gone forever. Finally, connection is civic infrastructure with love of humanity at its core.

With soap, filthy mouth... News and other four-letter words.
Who does not respect women journalists? Calling ABC’s Rachael Scott “obnoxious and terrible”. December 6, called Caitlin Collins, “stupid and nasty”. On November 27, he asked Nancy Cortez of CBS,” Are you stupid?” On November 26, he called the NYT Katie Rogers “ugly”. On November 18 he called ABC’s Katie Bruce,” terrible and insubordinate”. And then there was the now infamous November 14 “quiet piggy.”

BROKEN TRUST

The “breakdown of trust” we witnessed this year was not a failure of enforcement.
It was a failure of design.
For decades we treated labels, stamps, and certificates as if they were reality itself.
In 2025, the world discovered the cost of that illusion.
But it also discovered the path forward:
Trust rooted not in symbols, but in the unforgeable details of the physical world.
The next era of global commerce won’t be built on proxies.
It will be built on truth embedded directly into the objects we depend on.
