The shares are gainingCoinbase cuts headcount by 14% citing AI acceleration WHO DO YOU BLAME?Cofounder/CEO/Chair Brian Armstrong: 49.6% voting power MMIn 2020, amidst global protests for racial justice, Armstrong issued a blog post that effectively banned employees from discussing social issues or activism at work: "We don't advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission... we won't engage in broader societal issues."Brian is a proponent of "Freedom Cities"—privatized zones built on federal land that would be exempt from the laws that govern the rest of the countryMeta Platforms director Marc Andreessen:Impeding the development of AI in any way, he argues, “is a form of murder."Our enemies are 'social responsibility', 'stakeholder capitalism', 'Precautionary Principle', 'sustainable development goals', 'social justice', and 'environmental, social, and governance (ESG)'... These are all ideas that would lead to a stagnant, decadent, and ultimately dead society."The dual class share structure:The holders of our Class B common stock are entitled to twenty votes per share, and holders of our Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share.Jeffrey Billings, the independent trustee for certain trusts established by Brian Armstrong (representing 18.9% voting power)Co-founder/director Frederick “Fred” Ernest Ehrsam III (10.6% voting power)co-founder and general partner of the crypto-focused venture capital firm Paradigmco-founder and CEO of Nudge, a neurotechnology startup developing non-invasive brain–computer interfacesDuke UniversityWhile Fred is often seen as the quiet intellectual counterpart to Marc Andreessen, his philosophy is arguably even more dystopian to critics because it moves beyond just software—aiming to program human governance and the human brain itself.Fred is the Quiet Architect of a future where human systems are replaced by cold code.Fred is a major backer of the Prometheus Summit, a secretive gathering of tech elites focused on "longevity" and "assisted reproductive technologies."In 2026, Fred was appointed to the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) by President Donald TrumpThe 2 women on the board, seems very DEI-ishThe shares are gaining WHO DO YOU BLAME?InvestorsUp 15$ in 2 days: $655M for brianDiary of a CEO founder says he hired someone with ‘zero' work experience because she ‘thanked the security guard by name' before the interview WHO DO YOU BLAME?The so-called “meritocracy” MM“I hired someone who's CV was two lines. Their experience was zero”Elon Musk's SpaceX Could Be Fast-Tracked Into S&P 500 After IPO Under Proposed Rule Changes AND Elon Musk settles SEC lawsuit over Twitter purchase and agrees to pay $1.5m fineA trust in Musk's name will pay a $1.5m civil penalty, without admitting wrongdoing. Musk won't have to give up any money he allegedly saved from the delay. In its January 2025 lawsuit, the SEC said Musk's 11-day delay in revealing his initial 5% Twitter stake in late March and early April 2022 let him buy more than $500min shares at artificially low prices, before he finally revealed a 9.2% stake. WHO DO YOU BLAME?The SEC CommissionersJan 2025Chair Gary Gensler (D) Commissioner Hester Peirce (R)Commissioner Mark Uyeda (R)Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw (D)Commissioner Jaime Lizárraga (D)Today MMChair Paul Atkins (R)Commissioner Hester Peirce (R)Commissioner Mark Uyeda (R)VacantVacantSpecifically Paul AtkinsDuring his first stint as an SEC Commissioner (George W. Bush), Paul was famous for his dissent against large corporate penaltiesHe argued that fining a company for the "sins" of its executives just hurts the innocent shareholders a second timeRecently in the same Administration with Musk (DOGE)Generally believes the SEC overregulates; Musk has referred to the SEC as “bastards”Commissioner Hester PeirceThe perennial dissenter (pre-Trump 2.0): Whenever the SEC would sue a crypto firm or fine a high-profile CEO, Peirce would release a blistering public letter explaining why the SEC was wrong, overreaching, and "paternalistic."Hester is the primary author of the Token Safe Harbor proposal, which essentially argues that tech companies should be allowed to operate for three years without any SEC oversight to "find their footing."Hester has long argued that the SEC's disclosure requirements are "bloated" and "immaterial." In her view, Musk's failure to file a 13D form for his Twitter stake wasn't a crime—it was a failure to comply with a "clunky, outdated bureaucracy.""In our purportedly enlightened era, we pin scarlet letters on allegedly offending corporations without bothering much about facts and circumstances... After all, naming and shaming corporate villains is fun, trendy, and profitable."The S&P 500, managed by S&P Global Dow Jones Indices, on Thursday, announced it was beginning consultation on rule changes that could potentially help Elon Musk-led SpaceX gain an expedited entry into the index. The rule changes include letting IPOs enter the index six months after their debut on an eligible index instead of a 12-month period, according to current rules.The index also proposed eliminating a minimum Investable Weight Factor (IWF) of 0.10 for megacap companies. The IWF is a methodology used to calculate the number of shares of a company available to trade on the market.Notably, the proposed rule changes also eliminate profitability requirements for megacap companies. Current rules require a company to be profitable on a GAAP basis for 12 months to be considered for the index, but that rule could be eliminated.S&P DJI only accepts feedback during the announced consultation open period, which is generally one calendar month following the consultation announcement. The Index Committee considers the complexity of the change and the desirable implementation timing in determining the open window for the consultation, which is generally aligned, if possible, with the index rebalancing schedule. WHO DO YOU BLAME?S&P Global CEO Martina L. Cheung (31% no on pay last year) DEI? That's all I haveS&P Global Chair Ian Livingston (Lord Livingston of Parkhead)Lord Livingston is also involved in a number of charities particularly in the fields of education, equality and social careLords are weird? That's all I haveThe Index CommitteeThe S&P 500 Index Committee is one of the most powerful and secretive groups in global finance. To prevent insider trading and front-running (where traders buy a stock because they know it's about to be added to the index), S&P Dow Jones Indices (S&P DJI) keeps the names of the individual committee members confidential.“To mitigate even the appearance of a conflict of interest... all Index Committee meetings are confidential. Membership of the Index Committee is not disclosed, and voting members consist of senior S&P DJI staff who have no commercial responsibilities”The Committee Members: Usually consists of about five to nine full-time employees of S&P Dow Jones Indices. Veto Power: Unlike other indices that use a rigid formula, this committee has discretionary authority. They can choose to ignore certain rules (like profitability) if they believe a company is representative of the U.S. economy.Who is probably partly on the Committee:Catherine Clay (CEO, S&P Dow Jones Indices): As the top executive, she oversees all index divisions. She joined in late 2025 with a mandate to modernize the indices for the digital and private-to-public era.Fiona Boal (Global Head of Equities): She oversees the entire equity index suite. Any proposal to change the "seasoning" or profitability rules for the S&P 500 goes through her office.Michael Orzano (Head of Exchange Products): He is the primary strategist for how major listings (like a $1.75T SpaceX IPO) integrate with the exchange-traded product (ETF) ecosystem.He was the lead strategist during the 2020 Tesla Inclusion, which was the most chaotic event in S&P historyHamish Preston (Head of U.S. Equities): He is the primary spokesperson for S&P 500 methodology. If the "SpaceX Rule" is adopted in June 2026, he will be the one explaining the technical justification to the media.Louis Bellucci (Head of Index Committee Management): As of 2026, he is the specific individual tasked with managing the various index committees and ensuring they follow the updated governance protocolsThe general concept of greed MMMM'Tone Deaf' Starbucks CEO Slammed for Justifying $10 Coffee as 'Affordable Premium Experience' - Niccol is so close to the human experience, he thought it was obviously “affordable” premium to pay $10 for a single cup of coffee.

In today's conversation I am joined again by Ryan Hofer and Paul Wirth for a second round of a triad of introspection. We discuss and contemplate writings of the Osteopath Jim Jealous, the need for improved listening skills training, we also explored different pedagogical approaches, the role of the autonomic nervous system in manual therapy, and the concept of structural integration. We go into some really fun and exploratory spaces and I greatly enjoy being in conversation with these two. A note, this talk came at the end of a busy day for me and some of my cortical channels were not as up to snuff as they could have been. I lost my train of thought a few times and thankfully Paul and Ryan were right there with me to pick them up, expand or contrast them and continue the conversation forward. ‌ Ryan Hofer is fascinated by applications of body-based systems thinking and hands-on therapies. He graduated from the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute and was the chair of a Structural Integration certification exam program. He has completed a Masters of Teaching and a Masters of Communication, and he is currently pursuing a doctorate in naturopathic medicine. Paul Wirth is a bodyworker and movement educator, a Certified Advanced Rolfer® and a student and teacher of Tai Chi Ch'uan. His practice integrates Structural Integration, craniosacral therapy, visceral manipulation, and various kinds of movement work. A guiding question for Paul is: “How does a person's innate capacity for healing make use of my presence and input, and what about that is up to me?” He endeavors to continually be surprised by the reality that each person he works with is a living, present being, and to undertake practices that remind him that he is, too.

Today's conversation marks a departure from our usual format. Today I am joined by Ryan Hofer and Paul Wirth. In mid 2023, Ryan organized a discussion among a small group of us on the topic of embodiment—a conversation I found particularly enriching, especially as it introduced me to Paul for the first time. The depth and content of that conversation seemed too valuable not to share on the podcast. The original call included four or five participants, which, while enjoyable, might not translate as well in an audio format for our listeners. A trio, however, makes for a more accessible listening experience. Paul, Ryan, and I share several overlapping interests, creating rich intersections of dialogue where two can engage deeply while the other listens in. My hope is to turn this into a semi-regular series with both of them, discussing various topics as they arise and providing value to our community. This episode is the first realization of that vision. Ryan Hofer is fascinated by applications of body-based systems thinking and hands-on therapies.
