@theinforights All of the research I've ever done on various projects of mine is downloaded, link to source inserted and saved to various categories and subs etc. Then backed up securing recovery if needed. Would love to print it all out on some non-perishable material.

What you're looking at started as something that most people drive past without a second thought. - Industrial - boring - overlooked And someone looked at it and saw something no one else was seeing. That's the whole game here. You don't have to invent something brand new to make serious money. You just have to see potential where everyone else sees limitations. You have to look at what already exists and imagine it just a little differently. So when you turn something familiar into something unexpected, it becomes shareable and memorable. It becomes the thing that people can't stop talking about because it's different in a world where everything feels the same. People will literally travel hours just to stay somewhere like this because different is the experience now. Nobody cares about another cookie cutter hotel room that they've seen a thousand times, but this gets filmed and posted and sent to friends with the caption "you have to see this place" And suddenly you're booked out months in advance because you gave something people can't get anywhere else. I love that the raw materials here aren't special, it's just space that was sitting there unused and cheap to acquire The success of this is found in the willingness to look at what everyone else ignored and ask "what could this become?" Instead of just accepting what currently is. That's where the opportunity is. There are thousands of: - shipping containers rotting in fields - old grain silos sitting empty - warehouses no one's using - barns that haven't been touched in decades And every single one of them could become something people would pay to experience if someone just had the vision to see it through. You don't need to build it from scratch. You just need to reimagine what's already sitting in front of you. Because the world is full of overlooked things waiting for someone to look at them differently. And I don't care if AI generated the video because the inspiration you get from it is still the same.

Every instruction your generation was given after sixty made you weaker, and every one of them came from somebody who had never lifted anything. What they told you: - Take it easy (a decade of muscle you never replaced) - Do a class, it's more sociable (an hour of moving, nothing that loads) - Cardio is what protects the heart (a heart that copes, a body that shrinks) - Keep it light, protect the joints (joints that weaken without the load) - Mind your back (a spine nothing has loaded since the removal van) - Machines are safer than free weights, but only on the low settings And if you made it as far as the weights, they handed you a five kilo dumbbell and said fifteen reps. Light and high, for tone. A weight you could lift forty times, prescribed to a body that has been shedding muscle since it was forty. Because that part is real. From about forty you lose muscle every year, bone thins, and the loss accelerates after sixty whether you like it or not. That is the tide. There is exactly one thing that reverses it, and it is not a class and it is not a walk. It is lifting a weight that is genuinely heavy for you. Nothing else comes close, and nothing else has ever come close. Nobody is frightened of getting old. They are frightened of becoming somebody else's arrangement. What you should have been told: - Pick something up that is genuinely heavy for you - Six reps, not fifteen, because the load is the point - Make it heavier than last month - Twice a week, for the next twenty years It never reached a nine-minute appointment because there is no code and no budget for making a sixty-five-year-old strong, and a class can be run by somebody who has never picked anything up. A generation was talked out of its own body. You cannot get those years back. You can pick something heavy up on Monday and spend the next twenty years lifting the grandchild instead of being helped out of the chair.

My mormons, "You are not a member of an organization. You are a member of a people, and you forget the difference at your peril. An organization has employees and customers and a mission statement. A people has martyrs. A people has graves it can point to, ground soaked with its own blood, stories that begin with "your fathers" and mean it. The world will tell you that Mormonism is a religion you happen to hold, a set of beliefs you could set down tomorrow and remain exactly who you are. The world is lying. You cannot separate the faith from the people who bled for it, because they were never two things. The pioneer past is not the backstory of Mormonism. It is the body of it. Carthage is not history you learn. It is inheritance you carry. The handcart companies are not an episode in a manual. They are your dead, your line, your tribe, and the covenant that binds you to God binds you just as surely to them. This is the thing the modern Saint has forgotten, and the forgetting is a kind of orphaning. We speak of "the pioneers" as though they were someone else's ancestors, figures in a diorama, a heritage month. They are not someone else's. Whether your blood crossed the plains or your baptism grafted you into the vine last spring, they are yours now, fully yours, because that is what it means to be sealed into a covenant people: their story becomes your story, their martyrs become your martyrs, their dead become your dead. The convert from Manila and the seventh-generation rancher from Cache Valley stand in the same line, heirs of the same graves. Joseph and Hyrum did not die for an institution. They died for a people that did not fully exist yet, a people they could see only by faith, and you are that people. Their blood is in your spiritual veins. When you take the sacrament, you take it as one of them. When you enter the temple, you enter on ground their sacrifice purchased. You cannot claim the gospel and disown the tribe that carried it, because the gospel came to you inside that tribe, wrapped in its stories, paid for with its suffering, handed down grave by grave until it reached your hands. And a people who know they are a people cannot be broken the way scattered individuals can. This is why the world works so hard to convince you that your faith is private, personal, just one option in the marketplace of beliefs. A lone believer can be picked off, worn down, embarrassed out of his convictions one awkward conversation at a time. A member of a tribe with martyrs cannot, because he does not stand alone, and he knows it. He stands in a line that runs back through the valley and the plains and the frozen rivers to a jail in Illinois, and the line stands in him. So claim your people. Say "my martyrs" and mean it. Say "my dead" and feel the weight of it. Take your children to the graves of the pioneers and teach them that these are not strangers, these are ours, this is who we are and what we came from and what it cost. Because the day you understand that you belong to a people, the mockery of the world loses its power over you entirely. They are laughing at your tribe. And your tribe buried its children in the snow and kept walking, and outlasted every mob and every extermination order and every laughing generation since. You come from the unbreakable."

I've become a missionary with one message. Every time I meet a young person, the same words: have children, get married, build a family. I did not decide on this calling. It overtook me. And it overtook me for a single reason. I had no idea. I genuinely did not understand how much joy, how much meaning, how much sheer beauty pours out of a child until I was holding one of my own and felt the floor of my life drop into something deeper than I knew was there. I grew up white, affluent, secular, comfortable, and insulated. That world does not put babies in front of you. None of my friends were starting families. Out of my whole circle, almost no one has a big one. We were not formed by the presence of children. We were formed by their absence, by the strange quiet of homes built for two careers and no cradle. And a person believes what his world shows him. So we believed. What we believed was a lie. It is a lie with an author, and that the author is the enemy of joy himself. It is the gospel of the world, and its commandment is wait. Wait until you are older. Wait until the career is built and the savings are stacked and the twenties are properly spent. Enjoy your freedom. You are not ready. It does not arrive sounding like temptation. It arrives sounding like wisdom, like prudence, like the responsible thing, and that is exactly why it works. The most effective lies are the ones that wear the face of virtue. And the maddening thing is that it collapses from every angle at once. It is not rooted in biology, because the body is made for this work precisely in the years we are told to postpone it. The flesh keeps a calendar the culture pretends not to see. And it is not rooted in theology either. You will not find this deferral anywhere in the Christian imagination, in any of the fathers, in any of the scriptures. So choose whatever lens you like. Take the cold secular measure or the ancient sacred one. By either light the counsel is rotten. It is bad for the body and bad for the soul and bad for the society downstream of both. This is why I have come to see it as one of the central tragedies of my generation. Every age carries its own wound. The Great Depression was a depression of bread, a scarcity in the world of matter, hunger you could measure. Ours is a depression of a different order. It is a famine of the spirit in the middle of abundance. We have more than any people who ever lived and we are starving in a way our ancestors would not recognize, because the thing we are refusing cannot be bought and cannot be banked. The ones most made to give and receive this love are quietly declining it. They are walking away from the one inheritance that actually compounds, and the cruelest part is that they do not feel the loss as loss. You cannot grieve what you were taught not to want. That is the deepest cut of it. The lie does not only steal the thing. It steals the capacity to know the thing was stolen. A man can spend his whole life on the far side of a door he never knew was a door, mistaking the wall for the edge of the world. Because this beauty is not ordinary beauty. It is not the pleasure of a good meal or a clear morning. It is participation in something that comes down from above, the same generative love that spoke everything out of nothing and called it good. To make a person, to be undone and remade by loving that person more than your own life, is to be drawn for a moment inside the very act that holds the cosmos together. A child does not merely add to your life. A child reorders the soul. It teaches you what you are by asking everything of you, and you discover, kneeling there exhausted at three in the morning, that you had a capacity for self gift you never suspected, a depth in yourself you had no other way to reach. In the Gospel of John, on the last night, Jesus prays, these things I have spoken to you that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. And I have come to understand why family is the road into that fullness, why it is not one path among many but the one most fitted to the shape of the promise. Consider who is praying. Christ does not come to us as a lone figure dropped out of the sky. He comes out of a family older than the world, the eternal communion of Father and Son, the love between them so total and so alive that theologians dared to call it a third person. Before there was anything, there was a family. The deepest fact about reality is not a force or a law or a void. It is a household. It is begetting and being begotten, giving and receiving, a Father who is only a Father because there is a Son. So when Jesus speaks of joy made complete, he is not pointing away from family toward something higher. He is pointing toward the very thing he came from, the life he has known from eternity and came to share. His joy is the joy of belonging utterly to a Father and pouring himself out for those he loves. When you marry, when you bring a child into the world, when you wear yourself down in the small unseen labors of a home, you are not stepping outside that divine life. You are stepping into a small image of it. Your family is a created echo of an uncreated one. The love you give your child rhymes with the love the Father has for the Son. The exhaustion, the tenderness, the way a parent would tear the sky open to protect a sleeping infant, all of it is the heavens pressed faintly into flesh, the eternal household leaving its fingerprint on yours. That is why the joy is not merely added to family but completed in it. We were made in the image of a God who is, at his very root, relation and gift and generation. To found a family is to do the most Godlike thing a creature can do, to participate from below in the begetting that God does from all eternity. Your home becomes a window. Through it, dimly and imperfectly, you glimpse the country you came from and are going to. And now a word for the young people reading this, the ones who do not yet have children. I want to tell you what it is like from where I stand. When I am out somewhere, a restaurant, anywhere, and a large family comes through the door, the noise and the chaos and the small bodies of them, something happens in me on two levels at once. The first is joy. A pure gladness at the sight, the way you feel watching something good and alive. But underneath it, almost in the same instant, a sadness reaches up and takes hold of my heart. Because I know now, at my age, after my own years of waiting, that I will never have that. I will never know the particular fruit of a family that large, the fullness of that table, the weight of all those lives gathered under one roof. The door to it has quietly closed, and I felt it close. And I am telling you plainly, because I love you and have no reason to lie to you: you will feel this too. You will. The day will come when you see what you passed up, and you will recognize the ache for what it is, and it will be too late to answer it. So please, learn from a man who got it wrong. Let my regret be worth something by becoming your wisdom. Do not wait yourself into a grief you cannot undo. Choose now, while the door is open, so that you may step into a joy that does not end.

Your faith was forged in people who would rather be exterminated than assimilated. A soft version of it, eager to be liked and desperate to fit in, is not the thing they died to hand you. So stop striving to be liked. Stop angling to be loved by a world that drove your fathers into the snow. That world would think no better of the gospel today than it did in 1838. Stop trying to file down every peculiar and glorious edge of the Restoration until the world finally finds you acceptable. It never will. And the wanting of its approval is the slow death of everything your people bled to preserve. I am thinking of the proclamation on the family, and of how many have quietly gone looking for a way around it. Some say it aloud now. Some march under the world's Pride banners and tell themselves it is only love. They have done the quiet arithmetic and concluded that if they give the world this one doctrine, the world will finally stop hating them, finally let them belong, finally call them good. It does not work that way. It has never once worked that way. Understand what the world actually hates, because it is not a single teaching about marriage that it cannot abide. It is the claim. It is the unbearable, scandalous claim that the keys of the priesthood were restored to the earth, that there is a prophet who speaks for God, that this and no other is the authorized house of the Lord. That is the offense. That is what it cannot forgive. You could surrender every doctrine the world finds distasteful, one after another, and you would not buy a single hour of peace, because the thing it objects to is not your position on this or that. It is that you claim to hold the authority of heaven, and it intends to see that claim humbled. The doctrine is only the doorway it is pushing on. The house is what it wants. Embrace the truth. Embrace the battle that has always come with it, because there has always been a battle, and there is one now. It is the oldest war there is, good against evil, light against the dark, and you were born onto its field whether you wished to be or not. You did not inherit a museum. You inherited a war, and a banner, and a people who never once surrendered it. You are a Mormon. The blood of the persecuted is in you, and the truth they died for is in your hands. You are not tourists. You are not spectators. You are the heirs of warriors, and the line they held is now yours to hold. So plant your feet on the ground they bled for. Lift the banner they would not drop.

Jordan Peterson says the ability to think and speak clearly is a superpower. It's the one skill that makes every other skill usable, and hardly anyone builds it on purpose: 1. There is nothing more powerful than someone who is articulate and can think and speak. Peterson means power in the best sense: authority, influence, respectability, competence. All of it flows from a single capacity, the ability to formulate what you actually mean. Master that and you have leverage over almost everything else in your life. 2. Your highest skill is found in articulated speech. That is the thing worth crafting. Not a credential, not a résumé line, not a job title. The capacity to think clearly and say what you think, precisely, sits above every other skill because it makes every other skill usable. 3. If you master formulating your arguments, you win everything. And here's the part that surprises people. It isn't a zero-sum win. When you win that way, everyone around you wins too, because a person who can articulate reality clearly shines a light on the whole world. 4. The way you build it is simple to describe. Learn to think, learn to speak, learn to read. Peterson says the obviousness of it is what baffles him. People hear it and say, really, I could do that? And the answer is yes, really. It is not complicated, it is just rarely done deliberately. 5. You do it by surrounding yourself with people who were articulate beyond comprehension. Every serious thinker who ever lived left their best work sitting on a shelf, available to you, for almost nothing. That access is the entire opportunity, and most people walk straight past it their whole lives. 6. Chasing a job, or a raise, or a credential is a pathetically small target. Peterson is blunt about it. Those are the reasons everyone gives for getting educated, and they miss the actual point entirely. They aren't wrong so much as they are far too small for what's actually on offer. 7. If you're ever handed a window of freedom, it is the rarest thing you'll get, so use it. A stretch of time where you have both a respectable identity and real freedom at once is genuinely rare and almost impossible to reconstruct later. Most people get one and squander it. Whenever you get it, that is when you build the skill. 8. Understand what was required to make this possible for you. The books, the institutions, thousands of years of accumulated knowledge, all of it exists so that you can walk in and manifest what you're actually capable of. Peterson's framing is that everyone is quietly hoping you'll use it rather than waste it. 9. Transform yourself into something articulate, grounded in history, knowledgeable, and wise, and you can do anything you want. And if you have any sense, what you'll want to do is good, because there is nothing more compelling, more meaningful, or more useful against the tragedy of life than to struggle with everything you have on behalf of the good.

The Yazidis are really starting to annoy me. To begin with, the people who liberated you, protected your honor, and welcomed you were the Kurds. Instead of thanking them, you belittle them?! This Yazidi claims that there is no Kurdish language and that it is actually the Êzdikî language. He also says that the original Kurds were Yazidis because the religion of the Kurds before Islam was Yazidism. (This narrative was promoted by the PKK.) He also claims that “we are older than the Kurds,” which is a lie. First, it is called the Kurdish language, and the Kurds have been mentioned for thousands of years, whereas the idea of a Yazidi nationality was established by the PKK in 2014 after what they call the “liberation.” No historical book has ever described the Yazidis as a nationality, and there was no one in the world a hundred years ago whose ethnicity was “Yazidi.” Second, the religion of the Kurds before Islam was Zoroastrianism, Yazdanism, or Christianity. There was no such thing as a religion called Yazidism at that time. Third, the Yazidi religion is originally a religion that deviated from Islam. They are followers of Adi ibn Musafir, the Arab Sunni Umayyad, who was praised by Ibn Taymiyyah. The tomb of Adi (Sheikh Adi) is located in Lalish today, and the Yazidis worship it. Fourth, when a Kurd calls you Kurds, it is because he loves you and sympathizes with you because of what happened to you. Otherwise, your entire sect is of no benefit to the Kurds. Finally, Sinjar is Kurdish and will remain Kurdish. People of other national identities will be expelled from it. And let me remind you that the backbone of Kurdish nationalism has always been, and still is, the Sunni Kurds, who are deeply devoted to the Kurdish nation.

Elon Musk just proved that ownership in America is a legal fiction. Musk: “You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own.” Think about what property tax actually means. You worked for decades. Paid it off in full. The deed is in your name. Stop paying the government its annual fee. Watch them take it and sell it to someone who will. You never owned that house. You were leasing it from an entity you never signed a contract with. Income tax tells the same truth in softer packaging. The government does not take a portion of your earnings. They decide how much of your own labor you are permitted to keep. That is not semantics. It is a confession of who the system believes your time belongs to first. Sales tax buries itself in the receipt. Two people exchange value voluntarily. A third party who contributed nothing takes a cut simply for allowing it to happen. Now stack all three. Taxed when you create. Taxed when you spend. Taxed when you hold. Taxed again when you die and try to pass it to your children. At no point in that cycle does the system recognize your output as yours. Because money is not an abstraction. It is crystallized human lifespan. Every dollar taxed is an hour you already lived, already bled for, already gone. The state is not managing an economy. It is claiming dominion over time you will never get back. And spending it on systems you never asked for and actively oppose. The institution extracting all of it faces zero obligation to perform. A contractor who delivers nothing gets fired. A bureaucracy that burns through trillions gets a budget increase the next fiscal year. SpaceX pays taxes to the agencies that obstruct its launches. Tesla funds the regulators drafting rules to shield its competitors. The builders are not subsidizing government. They are financing their own friction. The tax code is 74,000 pages long. Not because the economy demands it. Because the extraction had to be buried in enough complexity that you would stop asking who it was designed to protect. The past belonged to the people who taxed the world. The future belongs to the people who build it.
