The Timeless Portfolio: Humans First Investing
For as long as humans have been human, we have been investors — not in the financial sense, but in the way we allocate our time, attention, belief, and collective effort. Before capital markets existed, we poured resources into the experiences that mattered most: temples to sport and skill, theaters to story and song, forums to gather and debate, libraries to learn and preserve, gardens to restore and delight. These were not just cultural institutions. They were the earliest marketplaces of human experience. Across every culture and era, the same instincts have shaped human progress: the desire to move, to express, to belong, to grow, and to savor life. Technology evolves. Capital evolves. Human nature does not.
