Kudos from me too John, I remember years ago reading that prediction and just not seeing how it was ever going to happen. I still don't know how Israel and Iran will ever align but... wait and see.

Your consistency at producing daily content is actually very amazing. Your track record is to take a day off every 3 y...

John said, So I'm wondering: Were they underestimating the time a month ago? Are the overestimating the time now? Has the doubling time actually increased because people are getting better educated?
