PROFIT can be used as a noun or verb. As a noun, it means a valuable return as in a financial gain. As a verb, it means to be of service to or to derive benefit. We have found a way to capture both definitions in one package.

Climate change has forced droughts on us which are affecting food production. You see this now in the rising food prices. The droughts we are seeing are part of a forecasted trend and their continuation will mean more severe impacts on food production and therefore severity in food prices. The drought information we learn from is from a United Nations (U.N.) publication. In the face of food disruptions, an organized group will be able to bulk purchase and warehouse food supplies far more efficiently than an individual. Controlling a part of the food production, storage, and transportation system is a potentially profitable proposition. It assures us that we will have a supply line outside the one we are currently bound to. The current food system is acknowledged to be problematic because it has so many variables that it is ever teetering on failure.

AI is another serious concern we face. We know this technology will replace human hands and minds. In fact, it will permeate every facet of everyday existence. We can either own it or be victimized by it. Acting now to own a part of this technology opens many doors. We could help others with technical needs that only AI can provide, people like our own children and grandchildren. The point is having this technology would be a multifaceted benefit. One of the interesting facets is being able to profit from it financially. How do you benefit from AI financially? Note that it is an emerging technology. Even so, it is now so powerful that you can rent out space within it for anyone with AI computing needs. The problem is that owning AI is beyond the average person’s financial ability to participate. Therefore, the group effort to own it is logical. AI can also be tasked to find trustworthy opportunities to profit for the organization. Only AI will be able to evaluate the new business landscape where the terrain will be mined with scams and devices to fleece the unprepared.

The 3rd trial we face is the outcome (the evolution) of the polarization of wealth. This unprecedented transfer of wealth we are witnessing contains a distinct threat to democracy. That threat is, when taken to its limit, the transfer of wealth leaves two classes, the haves, and the have-nots. That is a situation where democracy cannot exist.
