Clairvoyance / Dan Irvine & Garrett Phillips
Greetings ladies and gentlemen,
Huzzah! It’s a new year and that means I will spend the next few weeks writing 2023 instead of 2024 on every form I fill out. As my wife quickly points out, this is just another example of my lack of propensity for change.
As always, welcome to those new to Serendipity (most against their will or knowledge). As always, the premises of this newsletter can be found in the provenance email. In short, the goal is to highlight exceptional people in my network to foster serendipitous connections.
As is tradition for this time of year, I am sharing some carefully researched predictions for 2024.
Marketing will cease to exist. It’s true, despite its origins thousands of years ago, that this is the final year that anyone will take marketing seriously. With the decay of effective measurement of digital marketing, executives will lose the last bastion of hope and put the creative kids with crayons out to pasture. In its place will be robots who bludgeon customers to death with annoying text messages and emails until you submit to “grabbing a quick chat” with a junior sales executive who will use the word “partnership” 600 times in your 12-minute call.
Elon Musk will flush X down the toilet. His long game of helping our civilization get to Mars will be expedited due to this mind-numbing tool being eliminated from existence. Society will begin the reversal of the degeneration of community and happiness, which doesn't bode well for the other scourges of world peace, Meta, Truth Social, and TicTok. LinkedIn gets a stay of execution because its content is more boring than mean.
Political divides will dissipate. With social media gone, the ruling elite will be free to manipulate social consciousness from the middle of the road. Thank goodness for times gone by when there were only a handful of news sources. With blissful ignorance reinstated, happiness and contentment will become commonplace. The national elections in the USA will be excessively civil and cordial. It may not even register as headline news in November.
Finally, the mainstream misunderstanding of AI will be replaced by complete confusion around quantum computing. We will replace the incorrect usage of AI with the even more embarrassing substitution of the word quantum. If your technology does not incorporate quantum into its appalling AI chatbot experience, you will be the laughingstock of the next industry conference.
I hope that the exposure to this unequivocal clairvoyance guides your investing decisions, business strategy, and life goals. I will patiently wait for the plethora of thank you cards this time next year.
Moving on to a more grounded approach.
After taking off my shoes so I can use my toes to count higher, I have done some rough math on the net worth of this email list, which is approximately $16 trillion. Given this level of economic might, I thought it might be good to highlight two men of quantifiable clairvoyance and a company that will grow your wealth even further.
Please meet the DC-based 3Summit Investment Management Group led by the oracles Dan Irvine and Garrett Phillips.

When I tried to think of clever things to say about their smartness, I kept coming back to simplicity. Such is their command of investing; they can explain sophisticated market signals, proprietary mathematical models, and economic trends in a way that even a marketing dumbdumb can understand.
That's no easy feet (yes, I still have my shoes off).
Whether you represent a family office, want to geek out on complex economics, or are just looking for another perspective on your investment strategies, Dan & Garrett would be a conversation well invested. Their intellect and efficacy are only surpassed by their integrity and character.
