Big Updates are Coming!

After a long period of being dormant, the blog is going through some major back-end upgrades and renovations. As a result, the page for which you are searching either:

1. Doesn’t exist.;

2. Has been moved.;

3. Has been temporarily pulled down for improvement. A lot of the content on the site was published decades ago and has never been updated in modern WordPress, meaning even minor edits tend to be a bigger deal as it’s easiest to handle all improvements at once.;

4. Has been temporarily pulled down for expansion, clarification, or correction. Subsequent scientific, legal, or political developments can sometimes dramatically shift the fact set surrounding an issue, particularly in the area of economics, taxation, constitutional frameworks, etc. If I am working on a follow-up, I will sometimes take the older piece of out of rotation then bring it back in a more refined, often larger format.

5. Has been temporarily pulled for technical fixes. Sometimes, WordPress, a plug-in, or Google will update something that fundamentally breaks an existing post or page.; or,

6. In the case of a lot of older content, removed as part of one of the Great Purges that tend to occur once every ten years or so. If this is the case, such removals are usually broad-based until I can review the piece, again, and decide whether to republish it. Usually this takes time, as mentioned, because the original post was written in a legacy version of WordPress and must now be converted into block format.

For example, the first Great Purge was an overhaul of the site to protect personal privacy as the world increasingly went online, the second happened back in 2015 or 2016 when I came out of semi-retirement and established Kennon-Green & Co., a fiduciary global asset management firm for affluent and high net worth individuals, families, and institutions.  Given the complexity of the regulatory considerations when we first opened our doors, it was easier to simply pull down thousands of old posts before starting the company until I had a moment to review them. By 2025, hundreds old posts have been reviewed and restored, though the vast majority – thousands – remain hidden.

Please keep in mind that over the decades, I’ve written something like 4,000+ articles, essays, and drafts on the back-end, a mere fraction of which are visible to the public. Writing is how I organize my thoughts; model different concepts. It’s a wonderful tool. Sometimes, I’ll write something and publish it in the middle of the night that I subsequent forget about but that, for one reason or another, is super helpful or important in a deeply profound way to a group of folks who find it. If that is the case, and there is a specific piece you remember that you’d like to see, please submit a request in the comments section of this special resource post – I Will Be Re-Opening Selected Posts from the Private Archives. If the article or essay can be salvaged with a quick disclaimer note, a few modest changes, or in some other way, I may try, if and when time is available, to release it, again.  I can’t promise anything, but those are your best odds. Please keep in mind, though, that sometimes I go through periods where I update this site daily, other times, I post only once or twice per year.

In the meantime, you may use the search box or return to the homepage.

Sincerely,

Joshua
