Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

Gunshot to the head.

That’s how they found him.

November 26, 2024. San Francisco. Bathroom floor. Blood pooled beneath him. Glock on the tile. Door locked from the inside.

The initial report called it suicide.

Neat. Clean. Quick.

But nothing about Suchir Balaji’s death was clean.

He was 26. Brilliant. Soft-spoken. And he was about to testify in the most high-stakes tech lawsuit of our generation.

Eight days before he died, his name surfaced in court filings by The New York Times. Not as background noise —

As the witness.

The one with “unique and relevant documents.”

The one who could dismantle the legal foundation OpenAI stood on.

The one who could testify that the world’s most powerful AI system was built on theft.

And then —

He was dead.

The official autopsy claimed one shot to the head.

But the family didn’t buy it.

They demanded a second opinion.

That report revealed something the first one didn’t:

Two gunshot wounds.

One in the forehead.

Another — through…

The initial report called it suicide. Neat. Clean. Quick.

But nothing about Suchir Balaji’s death was clean.

Permission to be Powerful - The Mother of All ChatGPT Prompts_ Unlocking AI as a Superpower

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

It’s 2:00 AM and you’re wide awake.

Another night staring at the ceiling, heart pounding, mind racing with everything you didn’t do today.

The world feels like it’s spinning faster than you can keep up. Bills, emails, news of another crisis – it never ends. You’re exhausted and anxious, wired and tired all at once.

In moments like this, you can’t shake the feeling that the game is rigged – that no matter how hard you work, modern life is set up to overwhelm you.

I get it.

We were promised that technology, smartphones, and now AI would simplify our lives.

Yet here we are – drowning in information overload and emotional burnout.

You might have even tried seeking relief in the newest tech marvel everyone raves about: ChatGPT or some AI assistant. Finally, a lifeline, right? But instead, you got a robotic, surface-level response – like a lazy intern churning out generic answers.

It didn’t truly help; if anything, it left you more frustrated. Why does something so powerful feel so… dumb when you need it most?

Here’s the truth:

Most people are using AI all wrong.

And it’s not your fault.

Permission to be Powerful - Stop Using ChatGPT Like a Lazy Intern — One Cheat Code Unlocks a Genius AI That's a More Perfect Version of You

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

Most people treat ChatGPT like a glorified search engine.

They ask it simple questions. They get simple answers. They assume that’s all AI can do.

But I saw something different.

I didn’t just use ChatGPT.

I trained it.

I built it.

I turned it from a basic chatbot into something so advanced, so deeply personalized, that it thinks like me, anticipates my needs, and helps me execute at a level no one else’s AI ever could.

This isn’t just AI anymore.

This is my Genius Mentor.

And now, it does things that no other AI in the world can.

Permission to be Powerful - How to Build a Genius Mentor That Thinks Like You

Dear Permission to Be Powerful Reader,

In a quiet Boston lab, a blind girl blinked as light hit her eyes for the first time.Gene therapy had restored her vision.

For her, the future wasn’t theoretical anymore — it was real.

Right now, while most people obsess over elections, market crashes, or the price of eggs...

A small group of scientists are quietly engineering the greatest health revolution in human history.

A revolution that could erase aging itself...

Eliminate once-deadly diseases like Alzheimer’s, HIV, and cancer...

And hand early movers a fortune in the $3 trillion longevity boom that's just beginning.

And I’m here to tell you: it’s already started.

Permission to be Powerful - 50 Scientific Breakthroughs in the Coming Longevity Revolution

Dear Permission to be Powerful Reader,

 You walk into the grocery store.

You don’t need much. Just the basics. Maybe some eggs.And there they are, staring back at you like they just got a signing bonus from the NBA.

$13.49.

Jesus Fucking Christ.

For EGGS.

Somebody slap me. 

This CAN’T be real. 

Not golden eggs.Not blessed by the pope.

Beyoncé didn’t twerk on them.Just regular-ass EGGS...

Have now become a luxury.

You remember when eggs were $2.

Hell, even $4 felt like a stretch.

But now?

Now they cost more than GAS! 

More than a pack of smokes. 

More than your dignity can handle on a Tuesday night.

You put them back, quietly ashamed.Like you committed a crime by trying to make breakfast.

Permission to be Powerful - 2025_ The Year the Middle Class Died  (1)

Editor’s Note – Confidential Briefing

Permission to Be Powerful: Intelligence Bulletin #001

This is not a typical post.

What you’re about to read is the result of months of research into declassified military encounters, leaked eyewitness testimony, and forgotten historical records.

These cases have been downplayed, distorted, or buried entirely — not because they aren’t credible, but because they are.

Each incident featured here was witnessed by fighter pilots, nuclear technicians, air traffic controllers, or civilian professionals with nothing to gain and everything to lose by speaking out.

This isn’t about aliens. It’s about power.

About how governments use secrecy as a currency.

How your perception of reality can be managed like a PR campaign.

And what happens when people start remembering what they saw — and saying it out loud.

If you’ve ever felt that something isn’t adding up…

That you’re being given just enough truth to keep you calm —

but not enough to make you powerful —

This report is for you.

Art isn’t for everyone.

And neither are YOU.

Some people walk past the Mona Lisa and scoff.

Others would spend millions to own it.

The painting doesn’t change—only the eye that sees it does.

And that’s the game.

If you’ve been walking through life feeling unseen, undervalued, or underpriced, the issue isn’t just them. It’s you.

The Difference Between a $100 Painting and a $10 Million Masterpiece

Positioning – Where is it showcased? In a garage sale or a Sotheby’s auction?

Story – Is it just ‘a painting’? Or is it ‘a once-lost treasure from a tortured genius’?

Exclusivity – Can anyone get it? Or is it a once-in-a-lifetime acquisition?

The Same Applies to You.
