by Alex M. Vikoulov "The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating." — John Schaar As the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election approaches, each of us is making a statement about the future we envision. For me, this election is about more than partisan loyalties—it’s about addressing critical issues that affect our communities, from economic prosperity to avoiding catastrophic conflicts. After years of aligning with left-leaning, progressive values, I find myself casting a vote for Donald J. Trump, the Republican candidate, not out of ideology but out of necessity. Domestic Neglect vs. Overseas Spending: A Troubling Imbalance Under the current Democratic administration, we’ve witnessed a dangerous pattern: domestic issues, such as homelessness and infrastructure decay, have been overshadowed by a relentless focus on overseas conflicts. With the Biden administration spending over $120 billion on foreign military aid, the world is teetering on the brink of nuclear World War III, while crises at home continue to worsen. California—Kamala Harris’s home state—illustrates the scale of the crisis. The state faces a severe homelessness issue, especially in urban areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco, yet Harris has failed to meaningfully address it even as she now campaigns for the presidency. This lack of attention to local needs while billions are spent abroad is a betrayal of the communities that leaders like Harris and Biden are supposed to serve. A Shift from Left to Right: Prioritizing Home and Peace For years, I supported left-wing causes, believing in social safety nets, wealth redistribution, and policies aimed at reducing inequality. But what good are these ideals if our cities are left in shambles and our communities neglected? Today, I see the need for a leader who prioritizes our domestic challenges over engaging in foreign conflicts that only increase the risks of nuclear escalation. It’s time to put American needs first, addressing problems at home before costly ventures abroad. This isn’t about abandoning progressive ideals; it’s about focusing on the foundation of our society. Without strong communities and a stable domestic economy, all other goals become secondary. Addressing homelessness, healthcare, and infrastructure needs to take precedence. We need leadership that puts America’s well-being first. Kamala Harris: Not the Leader for This Moment Kamala Harris’s tenure as vice president has been marred by missed opportunities to address urgent domestic issues. Homelessness and housing shortages have reached unprecedented levels under her watch in California, a state she once represented as attorney general. Her lack of effective action in these areas doesn’t inspire confidence in her ability to lead the country. Now, with Harris on the ticket as the Democratic nominee, we face the potential of leadership that fails to address domestic crises while further straining international relations. In this climate, and on the verge of a nuclear crisis, I don’t believe Kamala Harris is the person for the job. The stakes are simply too high. Accountability in Government Spending The Biden administration’s decision to spend billions on overseas conflicts not only overlooks American needs but also risks pushing us toward a devastating global conflict. Trump’s previous term demonstrated his ability to avoid escalating foreign tensions and reduce unnecessary military spending. Trump’s approach to international relations prioritizes diplomacy and restraint, as evidenced by his work on the Abraham Accords. This strategy not only reduces spending but also redirects resources back to our communities, fostering economic growth and addressing urgent domestic needs. Economic Renewal and Stability Another major reason for my vote is the economic prosperity we experienced under Trump’s policies. His administration focused on tax cuts, reducing regulatory burdens, and supporting small businesses—all of which spurred economic growth. This resurgence benefited countless Americans, especially those in working and middle-class communities, and set a model for sustained prosperity. With a strong domestic economy, we can build a foundation for global cooperation rooted in economic partnership rather than military intervention. Trump’s focus on America’s economic strength ultimately serves as a stabilizing force, encouraging other nations to see the benefits of cooperation rather than conflict. A Pragmatic Vote for Domestic Renewal Ultimately, my vote for Donald Trump is a pragmatic choice. I believe that we need a leader who can address the issues that most directly impact Americans. The ideological purity of the left, while inspiring, does little to solve the tangible problems facing our communities. We need practical solutions, accountability in government spending, and a commitment to addressing domestic challenges. For those still aligned with progressive ideals, I would ask: what good are these values if our own cities are plagued by homelessness, and our tax dollars fund wars abroad rather than domestic improvements? Before we can aspire to global change, we must first ensure a safe, stable, and prosperous America. Metaphysics: Your Mind Creates Your Reality's Timeline in This Quantum Multiverse It's no joke! In our increasingly interconnected and complex world, it’s natural to wonder how much our individual choices truly impact larger global outcomes. Yet, as explored in my 2019 book The Syntellect Hypothesis, the concept of the Quantum Multiverse posits that our reality may, in fact, be a vast web of possibilities, each shaped by the choices we make on both individual and collective levels. In this view, each decision—whether personal or global—spins off a new potential timeline within a greater multiverse. If this is the nature of our reality, then we are not merely passive observers but active participants, constantly selecting the version of reality we wish to experience. At this crossroads in the 2024 election, the decision to vote for a candidate like Donald Trump, who prioritizes de-escalation and domestic renewal, can be seen as one such pivotal choice. This selection has the potential to place us on a timeline defined by constructive stability, where America's focus shifts back to resolving internal crises and fostering peace rather than wading into further overseas conflicts. Alternatively, choosing leadership that has leaned toward interventionist policies could push us down a path of global escalation, even one leading to the brink of World War III. In metaphysical terms, each choice becomes an expression of our collective consciousness, determining the probabilities and pathways of our shared future. As I explore in Noogenesis, consciousness is not isolated to individual minds but extends to collective human experience, shaping what we perceive as "reality." Thus, this election is not only a political decision but a choice between distinct worldlines in this quantum multiverse. Which future do we co-create? The decision lies not only in casting a vote but in aligning our values, intentions, and actions with the vision of a world that is prosperous, peaceful, and sustainable. As we stand on the brink of monumental decisions in this election, I encourage everyone to think critically about the issues that impact us most. This election is about more than foreign policy; it’s about renewing our commitment to addressing the urgent problems facing our communities. I vote for Donald Trump because I believe he has the focus and pragmatism needed to steer America back toward a path of domestic stability and prosperity. This isn’t just a vote for one man—it’s a vote for a future in which America prioritizes its citizens, its cities, and its future. -Alex M. Vikoulov P.S.

A quote on the go"When I woke up one morning I got poetically epiphanized: To us, our dreams at night feel “oh so real” when inside them but they are what they are - dreams against the backdrop of daily reality. Our daily reality is like nightly dreams against the backdrop of the larger reality. This is something we all know deep down to be true... The question then becomes how to "lucidify" this dream of reality?"— Alex M. Vikoulov Public Forums Our Custom GPTs
