After going back and forth, I’ve decided to break my promise and write you a long piece in the last three days of 2024.
Why?
Because there are things you need to know — and if you don’t know them soon, it will genuinely be too late.
Too late for what?
So many things. Whether we’re talking about major shifts in the broader tide, or your own personal development in the coming year — a massive earthquake has already occurred in the details you may have overlooked.
Consider what happened just a few days ago: the extraordinary gestures of goodwill from both the American and Japanese sides toward us, the spectacular unveiling of our sixth-generation fighter jet, and the new wave of economic development now coiled and ready to surge. Every single one of these events carries an invisible, intimate connection to you and me.
You just haven’t seen the thread running beneath the surface yet.
I also looked around, and not a single major voice out there has taken the time to map it all out.
So let me be the one to do it.
Note: this is not a political commentary piece. It is a game map.
The purpose of this map is to show you how small pawns on the board — people like you and me — should navigate the era ahead. How to protect yourself while still contributing to the world around you.
Put more plainly: how to build your own prosperity and comfort, while adding your brick to the nation’s foundation.
