Deep Dive AI • Retirement Planning Case Study The Retirement Plan That Treats Health Insurance Like Part of the Math What if early retirement is not just about how much money you have — but about which money you spend, when you spend it, and how much taxable income you create?

After working through our own numbers, I think that question is incomplete. The question that has become much more important for us is: How much taxable income do we need to create each year — and what does that income do to our health insurance costs? That one question changed the way I think about early retirement. We are not ...

Deep Dive AI · Retirement Lab · 2026 What If Social Security Paid Less Than You Expect? We took the latest 2026 Social Security numbers, translated the projected funding gap into real household dollars, and built interactive tools so you can stress-test your own retirement. Updated October 3, 2026 · Interactive Deep Dive For decades, the Social Security conversation has been framed as a binary question: will the program be there, or won't it? That is the wrong question. Social Security's current financial outlook is more complicated—and much more useful for retirement planning—than either “everything is fine” or “Social Security is disappearing.” The 2026 Trustees Report gives us actual numbers to work with.

Magnetic Current: The Strange Little Model Behind Leedskalnin's Big Claim Edward Leedskalnin's Magnetic Current starts with a bold move: he rejects electrons and tries to explain electricity, magnetism, gravity, light, and the Moon with tiny north and south pole particles moving in opposite streams. That does not make the model established physics. It makes it an interesting historical claim. Leedskalnin wanted a universe that behaved like machinery. Metal became a channel. Magnetism became the hidden current. Electricity became "magneticity." The Moon became part of the same invisible push and pull. The Useful Way To Read It The useful question is not, "Did Leedskalnin replace modern physics?" He did not. The better question is, "How did one inventor try to make one simple mechanism explain almost everything?" That question is where the text gets interesting. His perpetual motion holder, his advice to the "rocket people...

Edward Leedskalnin's Magnetic Current, Explained Without Treating It Like Established Physics Leedskalnin's Magnetic Current is best read as a historical alternative model: strange, mechanical, internally connected, and very much outside standard physics. Edward Leedskalnin, better known to a lot of people through the Coral Castle story, published Magnetic Current in 1945. The text is not a modern physics lesson. It is his own attempt to explain electricity, magnetism, gravity, light, and even the motion of the Moon through one central idea: tiny north and south pole particles moving in opposite streams. That distinction matters. The interesting part is not whether the model replaces standard electromagnetism. It does not. The interesting part is how tightly Leedskalnin tried to make everything fit. Once he rejects electrons, he needs another mechanism to carry current, light bulbs, motors, magnets, planetary motion, and the behavior of iron. That is a...
