Came to the range to celebrate another professional milestone for 2025. I reached a defining milestone in my ongoing work in global systems today, using living experiments in the evolution of artificial intelligence.

Today (Project Janus explicitly predicted the dual-refinery sabotage event chain, and it did so with high specificity across multiple layers)

I see this as a genuine step toward next-generation intelligence systems that could transform how humanity navigates the coming millennium. I have been working on it since 2015, full force in 2021, and 2025, brought all my work together.

As of now I invented a framework that already maps patterns across governance, conflict, economics, and social behavior, all generated from a single methodological core. Whether it’s a step toward true general intelligence or a beautifully constructed illusion, it challenges the imagination and forces the question of what “thinking” really means in the 21st century.

I will be opening Project Janus for a limited test: Beesmash will deliver a $1k–$100k level assessment and/or reports for free. No cost, no strings. See sovereign-grade scenario modelling & framework outputs live. Limited demos: Coming Soon!

Why? Because decision-makers should judge output, not slick sales decks, and I’m not that shallow 😜 We model escalation, supply-chain risk, and adaptive strategy. Real data, executive/intelligence briefs, actionable recommendations. Slots limited.

Coming Soon!

Email: Request Demo, if approved, let me help you and your organization.

Today is my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary🎉🥳🎈🎊

50 Years of Lester & Katherine Brown.

Fifty years.

Half a century of shared mornings, laughter.
A lifetime stitched together not by perfection, but by presence.

Mom and Dad, you built something rare in this shifting world: a promise that outlasted every season. You taught me that love is not just an emotion, it’s a decision renewed daily, even when the feelings are questioned, even when the world around you changes faster than you can understand.

Today I stand here both your son and your student. I’ve watched the world transform from paper to screen, handshake to emoji, letters to DMs. But what you two built still matters, still shines, still teaches me that the foundation of any future, digital or not, it is love that stays.

I’m not yet married, not yet a father. And sometimes I wonder if a man is measured by the family he builds or by the love he carries within him, waiting for the right place to land. Maybe both are true. Maybe part of me is still your little boy, believing that if I love hard enough, life, and someone will eventually meet me halfway.

You showed me that real partnership is friendship, faith, laughter, help, vision, and patience woven into time.
You showed me that forever is not about never ending, it’s about never quitting.

So today, I don’t just celebrate your marriage.
I celebrate the quiet courage it takes to keep choosing each other, and the hope it gives me that someday, I’ll find that same sacred mirror.

Thank you for life.
Thank you for love.
And thank you, for proving that even as the world becomes more digital, the heart remains analog, beating, human, and true.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Mom and Dad.
Your legacy lives in every part of me.

Exhibit: Out of Office!
Artist:

At Homme DC, Philip Linder’s exhibition “Out of Office!” transforms the familiar sterility of workplace life into a landscape of emotional tension, alienation, and absurdity. Through abstract geometry, disjointed interiors, and an intentional use of muted yet psychologically charged color, Linder renders corporate spaces as psychic theaters of control and longing.

Each painting is not a room, but a reflection of the modern employee’s soul. Every chair, desk, or shadow represents the haunted choreography of routine, and the quiet rebellion beneath it.

Linder’s work channels the emotional mechanics of modern labor, how identity, ambition, and fatigue intertwine under fluorescent light.

In a post-pandemic world defined by “Zoom fatigue,” hybrid work, and existential burnout, Out of Office! feels eerily prophetic.
It speaks to a generation that measures life in Outlook calendars and Slack messages — and secretly dreams of escape.

Homme DC’s decision to host this exhibition reinforces its reputation as a cultural node for reflective modernism — art that critiques not through shock, but through recognition.

Location: National Mall (3rd st)

An installation has returned this week agin on the east side of the U.S. Capitol on the National Mall, featuring bronze-colored statues of Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein. Cast in playful poses, the figures hold hands mid-step, as if captured in a jaunty dance, their placement set against the iconic backdrop of the Capitol dome. At first glance, the composition evokes celebration and camaraderie, but closer inspection reveals an acidic commentary on power, corruption, and the myth-making of public monuments.

The marble-like plinths bear plaques with both men’s names, as well as an overarching dedication: “In Honor of Friendship Month.” The text declares a “long-lasting bond” between Trump and Epstein, framing the relationship in absurdly sentimental terms. Below, the plaques include cryptic and mocking inscriptions, turning what appears to be a monument into a biting indictment of political and cultural denial. By situating this parody alongside America’s most hallowed civic landscape, the artist weaponizes the language of permanence of bronze, marble, Capitol backdrop, to question what (and who) gets canonized in public memory.

Exhibit: Seasonal Observations
Artist: Cora Ennis Morris

Cora Ennis Morris’ exhibition Seasonal Observations transforms the historic cyanotype process into a vibrant dialogue between photography, painting, and ecological reflection. Drawing on New England’s four seasons and Savannah’s landscapes, Morris crafts layered works where flora, memory, and time converge in luminous indigo fields punctuated by hand-painted greens, yellows, and ephemeral whites. Her art is less a documentation of nature than an invocation—an urging for us to both revel in seasonal abundance and acknowledge the fragility of the ecosystems around us.

Blending traditional cyanotype with encaustic, resin, and paint, Morris achieves a unique material interplay that is as tactile as it is ethereal. The works evoke the cycles of life, decay, and renewal, carrying both visual immediacy and philosophical weight. By reanimating 19th-century photographic techniques in a contemporary environmental context, Morris places herself within a lineage of artists who transform nature into symbol and spirit, while insisting that stewardship is part of beauty’s inheritance.

Location: Triple Candie Gallery

Suspended against a stark rust wall, a gnarled tree branch becomes a theater of metaphor in this layered installation. Beginning with a serene photo of snow-capped peaks and ending in scorched infernos, the branch bears tiny figurines of climbers, soldiers, civilians, and aliens—each placed with surgical emotional and symbolic precision. This isn’t simply toy art—this is tactile allegory, a journey both vertical and moral.

With hikers ascending toward conflict, zombies writhing in agony, and soldiers capturing aliens beside burning forests, the work questions our understanding of progress, conquest, and belief. It’s a parable on migration, violence, spectacle, and voyeurism. The audience is drawn into a forced perspective—where scale plays tricks on power, and where the branch, like fate, cannot be escaped.

Event: Sawasdee DC: Thai Festival

The Thai good smelled amazing, I’m making a burger today though, so I just strolled around.

From the Capitol dome watching over hand-painted parasols 🌺, to vibrant elephants painted in the colors of two nations 🐘, and the golden threads of Thai silk shimmering like history itself 🧵 the Mall became a living bridge between Thailand and the U.S.

wasn’t just a festival — it was an embassy of joy, artistry, and heritage spread across the grass of United States front yard.

It’s September already. Since it’s labor day I will be releasing some reports on labor, work, value, AI this week, also a few other geopolitical reports in a bundle that have been collecting dust. Check them out if you have time. Also tine for another newspaper, possible release on the autumnal equinox. Have been busy.

I hope your year is going well. Best wishes always.

With love,

Just spent the afternoon walking through the Great American Farmers Market on the National Mall, and wow. 🇺🇸 From creamy heritage cheeses to a bold new meat purveyor out of Wyoming serving up 100% grass-fed, no grains/soy, no antibiotic, hormones or mRNA. I had some great conversations with the folks feeding this country. Ranchers, cheese-makers, dreamers.

In the shadow of the Capitol and the Washington Monument, it’s clear: the future of the United States of America hopefully tastes like our past, pure, honest, sassy and made by hand, and a little or a lot of hard days work.

Got some cheese and salami, coming back tomorrow, to get some wagyu ribeyes, and hotdogs.

Location: National Air and Space Museum

Yesterday night was preview evening at the Air and Space Museum. Had fun, the renovations are not completed yesterday not officially until 2026, but I have not been in this building wandering around like this since I was a kid, I went to a fancy thing there one night in undergrad but that didn’t count.

I stepped into the vast timeline of aviation, imagination, and innovation at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum during the preview evening.

From the legendary R2-D2, X-Wing Fighter, and the silent wisdom of Marvin the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to real Apollo circuit boards and visionary aircraft like Nemesis, each exhibit wasn’t just history, but a provocation:

“Who decides which future?”

As I witnessed the “Futures in Space” installation, the message rang clear: Tomorrow isn’t waiting, it’s here and it’s asking questions. And we must answer.
