On December 14, 2024, I imagined looking back in 10 years and seeing this as a massive, paradigm-shifting time and opportunity. I said it was a good time to push hard and accelerate, without specifying what to accelerate or how.

On November 15, 2025, I wrote that the internet feels more like a cheat code than ever before, expressing its broad value as a business advantage without giving a specific example.
On December 30, 2025, I wrote, “Chasing infinite leverage.” I did not specify what kind of leverage I meant, what I was pursuing, or how I would achieve it.

This connects my broader view of AI-enabled ecommerce opportunity in ecommerce s ai golden age with my interest in lean Shopify stores in lean stores as cashflow machines.
On May 26, 2026, replying to @Sensational112, I wrote “Archimedes level leverage” and included the saying, “Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world.” I used the image of leverage to express the possibility of outsized impact, without specifying a particular method or plan.
