“The Baseline isn’t about control, it’s about conscience.
It doesn’t tell the world what to think; it reminds it how to remember.
Not a rulebook, but a rhythm. Not command, but recall.
Because when conscience leads, the world doesn’t need control.”
Everyone complains about taxes. Nobody fixes the system. Not because it can’t be fixed—because confusion benefits the people who run it. So let’s walk through what happens when you drop The Faust Baseline into the IRS. 1. A Translation Layer the Public Can Actually Read Don’t change the laws.Don’t rewrite the tax code.Just force clarity….
Every idea has an early version.Rough edges. Prototype thinking.You build it, you test it, you speak about it the best you can at the time. Months ago, I wrote a short piece on Hacker News about The Faust Baseline. It carried a tone that made sense in the moment, but not for where the Baseline…
The IRS runs on confusion.The Faust Baseline runs on clarity.Put those two in the same room and only one survives. For a hundred years the IRS has kept its strength through fog—grey language, loopholes only insiders understand, notices that land in your mailbox like threats written in riddles. You don’t need to break a law…
A Clear, Mission-Aligned Pricing Framework The Faust Baseline™ was never built to become another subscription engine or an exploitative business model.It is a moral and operational methodology, not a product that promises results, outcomes, or perfection. Because of that, our licensing structure is simple: No subscriptions.No monthly billing.No usage fees.No “AI milk money.” Companies pay…
There’s a particular kind of tired running through the thoughtful people of this age. Not sleep-tired.Not burned-out tired.Something deeper — the fatigue of minds built for depth but forced to live in a world that won’t sit still long enough to let them think. You can see it everywhere if you know what to look…
There’s a different kind of truth you find on an old highway. Not the interstates — those things are too polished, too engineered, too predictable. I’m talking about the real American backbone. The stretch of cracked asphalt and sunburned guardrails that carried generations west with hope in their pockets and dust on their shoes. Old…
Tomorrow morning, most people will wake up to headlines about AI bubbles, trillion-dollar datacenters, and the shiny new promises of tech giants who believe “bigger” is the same as “better.” But behind the noise, governments are wrestling with a quieter problem. Not power. Not politics. Not computation. Interpretation. Every crisis in public institutions begins at…
People are calling it an AI bubble.But bubbles don’t form because of excitement.They form because something essential was missing from the build. And the AI industry has been missing the same thing for ten years: Structure.The very thing every tool, every system, every society requires to function. Look around your home, your town, your history…
People talk about “AI power” like it’s a monster hiding behind the curtain.But nobody talks about the part that actually scares them: Free will. Not the free will AI might have —but the free will they already have and don’t trust. Humans fear free will because it forces a mirror on the table.Once you remove…
No drift.No side paths.Just the truth delivered steady and unmistakable. The Only Thing We Built Without a Structure AI There’s a rule human beings learned thousands of years ago,long before electricity, engines, governments, or computers: Power must live inside a structure.Nothing works safely without one. It’s not philosophy.It’s not politics.It’s the oldest building instinct we…
