Two tower crane operators, the same height, but the comments under their videos are night and day He's around 30, years on cranes behind him and a $6,000-$8,000 paycheck that comes with experience. His clip from the cab pulled 1.4 million views. She's 24, less time in the trade,... a $4,000 rate. Her video from the same kind of cab pulled 900k The gap in views is minimal, but under her clip there's always someone who writes that she only gets views because of her looks. Except the algorithm doesn't care what anyone looks like. It shows people what they've never seen, and almost nobody has seen the view from a cab sixty meters up. They both film the same thing: the city below, the work, their day. Neither of them performs for the camera, they just work their shift with a phone on the panel. And both of them get a second paycheck for it, one that doesn't depend on experience, age or how you look. It's not about looks, it's about the fact that your workplace is seen by a handful of people and millions want to look at it.

At 17 she dropped out of school to do plumbing professionally with her father, and now she's 23 and makes over $20,000 a month It all changed with one clip of her taking apart a clogged P-trap. No script, no face on camera, shot on a phone from her overall pocket. Hundreds of thousands of people watched it, people who will never in their lives crawl under their own sink. A week later there was a line of locals in her DMs. They didn't ask the price and didn't haggle, because they'd already seen how she works. Her hour costs $110, and people wait weeks for an open slot instead of calling the first plumber off Google. Then came the part she never planned for. Plumbing suppliers started sending her products to test. Free, just asking her to film how it holds up on the job. Young guys from trade colleges message her for advice more often than they ask their own foremen. People from other cities ask her to recommend someone in their area, and she just passes those leads to friends. Her phone became what expensive advertising is for everyone else, only without the budget. In the evening she doesn't edit anything. She drops the footage into AI, it pulls the best moments on its own, cuts them, adds captions and schedules the week. One hour a week of her time. At 17 they told her she'd ruined her life by dropping out. At 23 she proved to everyone that her life only got better Read the article to find out how to turn your job into a double income

MrBeast on the single biggest reason most content never reaches 100 million views: It has nothing to do with editing, production budget, or how often you post. It comes down to one thing: whether your viewer feels like they've seen it before. Think of it like a cow on the side of the road. MrBeast illustrates this with a metaphor he picked up from a TED talk: "If you're driving down the road and you just see a cow, you're probably not even going to look at it. Who cares? You've seen them all the time. But if you're driving down the road and there's a purple cow, you're going to look like four times, you're going to remember that. Like, someone could ask you a year later and you'll be like, 'Yeah, I saw a purple cow.' And the only difference is it's purple." He then maps this directly onto how content gets noticed or doesn't: "If you're scrolling through videos and it's something you've seen before, nothing too crazy, that's the equivalent of someone seeing a cow. But if it's something they've never seen before, like you putting a bunker underground and two people living in it, that is the equivalent of a purple cow." Most creators obsess over execution. MrBeast is pointing at something that comes before all of that, the idea itself. A technically flawless video built around a familiar concept is still just another cow on the side of the road. Nobody stops, remembers, or shares it. But an idea nobody has seen before? That's the purple cow. And once someone sees it, they can't unsee it.

Elon Musk just told you the job is dying. Most people heard a prediction. A few heard a prison door opening. Musk: “In less than 20 years, working at all will be optional.” That is not a policy suggestion. That is a countdown. For three hundred years, the human blueprint has been identical. You are born. You move to the city. You rent a box near the office. You trade your body and your hours for the right to exist. You do this until you are old. Then you stop. Then you die. The entire model runs on one assumption. That human labor is the only engine. AI and robotics delete that assumption. When the machine handles production at a scale no human crew can match, the forced migration to the city evaporates. The commute evaporates. The cubicle evaporates. The alarm clock that owns your nervous system for forty years evaporates. Musk: “I think it won’t be the case that you have to be in a city for a job.” The city was never a choice. It was a requirement disguised as ambition. You moved to the noise and the concrete and the $4,000 rent because the paycheck lived there. Remove the paycheck from the equation and the geography changes overnight. You can live in the mountains. On the coast. In the silence of a town most people have never heard of. You can wake up to nothing but trees and cold air and the complete absence of anyone else’s schedule. That is not a fantasy. That is the math resolving. But here is where most people break. They hear “work is optional” and they see emptiness. A species with nothing to do. Billions of people staring at screens until their minds dissolve. That fear tells you everything about what the system has already done to us. We confused labor with purpose. The grind with meaning. The paycheck with proof that we matter. Musk: “In the same way that you could grow your own vegetables in your garden.” The analogy is precise. You do not grow tomatoes because the economy demands it. You grow them because something in you wants to build a thing with your hands and watch it come alive. That instinct does not disappear when the job does. It gets unleashed. The artist who spent twenty years doing accounting finally paints. The engineer who always wanted to build something of her own finally builds it. The kid in a small town who could never afford to take the risk finally takes it. Work does not vanish. Forced work vanishes. What replaces it is creation without a gun to your head. This is the part that keeps me up at night. We are standing at the edge of the largest liberation in human history. And the loudest voices in the room are begging to stay in the cell. They want the commute. They want the boss. They want the structure that tells them when to eat and when to sleep and when they are allowed to think about their own life. Because freedom without a template is terrifying. The next twenty years will not test our technology. The technology is already ahead of schedule. They will test whether the species can handle what it has been asking for since the beginning of civilization. Time. Space. Silence. And the unbearable weight of choosing what your life actually means when no one is forcing the answer. That is not a prediction. That is the final exam. And nobody is ready.

Dear Mormons, If you are a Saint today, you descend from the pioneers, by blood or by the grafting that makes you no less their child, and that means there is iron in your bones whether you have learned to feel it yet or not. You come from people who buried their children in the snow and kept walking, who were driven from state after state and did not break, who crossed a thousand miles of nothing and built a civilization out of salt and sand on the strength of pure covenant. That inheritance is not metaphor. It is in you, the same marrow, the same refusal, the same fire that no mob and no winter and no extermination order could ever put out. So let the haters on hate, let them sneer from their screens and their safe little distances, because they are screaming at a people who have outlasted far worse than them and forgotten more courage than they will ever own. You carry the essence of a covenant nation in your chest, and a people who know how to make cities rise out of a wasteland are not a people who bow. Stand up straight under what you were handed, square the shoulders this Church was built on, and remember in your bones that you were forged from the unbreakable.

🚨Marc Andreessen on Federal Workers working from home: "Most Federal workers never came back to work. They work from home. Something like half. They still draw paychecks, they still have their jobs, but they're not in the office. There are some agencies that are both unionized AND have civil service protections and they've negotiated a deal where people have to come in one day a MONTH. What they do is they come in on the last day of the month and the first day of the following month so they only have to be there for two days then they go move somewhere cheaper and keep the same paycheck. This is what DOGE aims to stop."

Elon Musk: News should be decentralized. “We need to allow the people to develop the narratives that are of interest to them. It's possible for news to be technically truthful, but they're still deciding what the narrative is. Let's say you took a photo of someone and they had a little zit. Now you could zoom in on the zit and make it look gigantic, like Mount Vesuvius. And it is still true that they have a zit. It's just not the size of Mount Vesuvius. It doesn't properly reflect their face. Their face is not one giant zit. But you could say, well, it's true. But have they lied? They've just happened to zoom in on the zit and not look at the rest of the face. What I'm saying is that choice of narrative is extremely important. And at the point at which if there's only half a dozen editors-in-chief or maybe even fewer than that, maybe it's only three or four that are deciding what the narrative is, what's going to be on the front page, then, that's a form of manipulation of public opinion I think the public often doesn't appreciate and is perhaps the most pernicious of all.” From: Interview with Tucker Carlson, April 19, 2023

What is it like to grow up in one of the most talked about families in the world? Well, today’s guest is Ivanka Trump - someone who’s lived much of her life in the public eye, from childhood through business, and all the way to the White House. From a young age, her life was anything but normal. She grew up surrounded by media attention and moments that most people could never relate to. At just nine years old, she was dealing with reporters outside her school during her parents’ divorce - an experience she says shaped how she saw trust and the world around her. As she got older, that pressure didn’t go away. She built a career in real estate before stepping into government and working at the highest level during one of the most intense political periods in recent history. I found myself coming back to something we discussed around how living under that kind of scrutiny forces you to get really clear on who you are, because if you don’t, the world will define it for you. And a lot of this conversation comes back to that idea. Being intentional with your time and your decisions, and even what you allow into your mind, because without that, it’s very easy to get pulled in a direction that isn’t really yours. I wanted to know: - How do you grow up under constant public scrutiny? - What does pressure actually do to a person over time? - How do you know who to trust when you’re in the spotlight? - What is power really like behind closed doors? There’s a moment where she reflects on how, for a long time, protecting herself meant building walls and not trusting people, but over time she realised those same walls can stop you from having real connection. Let me know your thoughts after watching this one.

And when I post them on my paid sites you get both for the price of one. I cannot tell you the hundreds of comments I have gotten about how much people love this. That they get to watch the same video in different views and different formats. It’s like they get to experience it twice all for one price.

$I hear so often from the Dommes I work with that they struggle with people online fetichizing them and simply seeing them for how sexy and beautiful they are. They project their fantasies and their desires onto you. That stops immediately once you move the attention from you to them. From 'look at me' to 'I see you'. What does that look like? When you create content, think of them and what this scene or that narrative is evoking. What will they learn from you? What they want is not to passively watch how sexy you are, but for you to train them, to give them instructions, to teach them, to guide them, to be in charge, to command them. This is not being an object but the main subject. The Authority figure. How is your content already doing that. The sexy photos can still be there, they are important to already capture des attention. But what you do with that attention once you have it, is where the power dynamic is established. Positioning yourself as more than a stunning Goddess, but actually a woman who has a voice, opinions, perspective, a philosophy, a way to doing things, teaching them what you like, how you like it, why you like it, already makes them want to be that for you. You hold the attention, you hold the power, so you direct it. And for that, you want them to know you get them and you know what lives within them... that creates the desire for you to be the one exposing it. You instantly build trust. Not because you demanded it, but because you earned it: you showed them you know what you are doing. You have experience, you understand them. They are not told to come see you, they are seduced into it. They desire it. And they will work for it. This will attract better clients (real subs) and instead of you trying to get their attention, they will work to earn yours. If you want to learn more about power dynamics, building a brand as a Pro or the psychology behind BDSM, you can now access all my trainings and classes in one place for a fraction of the cost of The Dominatrix Academy. And you can reinvest the total amount towards the Program. Message me [SECRET] for the details. This offer is not available on my website.$

Jensen Huang just described something that should keep every worker in America awake tonight. Not because AI is coming for their job. Because most of them never understood what their job actually was. Huang: “The task of our job and the purpose of our job are related, not the same.” Most people think their job is the thing they do with their hands for eight hours a day. Write code. Fill spreadsheets. Draft emails. Push pixels. That was never the job. That was the task. The job was always the thinking underneath it. Huang: “If you apply that to me, you would come to the conclusion what Jensen does for a living is tap on phones and talk. And tapping on phones and talking, AI has done that just fine. And therefore my job should be gone. But I’m busier than ever.” This is the part nobody wants to sit with. The people panicking about AI aren’t afraid of losing their work. They’re afraid of finding out they never had any. They had a routine. A repetitive motion. A series of keystrokes that felt like purpose. Now a machine does it in four seconds. Huang: “AI has created more than half a million jobs in the last couple of years.” The data says one thing. The fear says another. Because the fear was never about employment numbers. It was about identity. We spent fifty years hunched over keyboards, convinced the hunching was the work. Huang: “The idea that being human means to hunch over on this little thing, typing all the time… 50 years before that, people didn’t do that.” Fifty years. That’s all it took to build an entire identity around a posture. We don’t type for a living. We think for a living. We imagine for a living. The keyboard was always just the delivery mechanism. Never the product. Huang: “It is a fundamental flaw that we only need a billion lines of code written. We need a trillion lines of code written.” The demand was always infinite. The bottleneck was always our fingers. AI doesn’t shrink the workforce. It removes the cap on what the workforce can actually build. Huang: “Companies that use AI have demonstrated the ability to grow faster. When they grow faster, they hire more people.” Growth doesn’t eliminate people. It pulls them in. Every industrial revolution triggered the same panic. Same headlines. Same wrong conclusion. And every single time, the economy didn’t contract. It expanded into territory that didn’t exist before. The real question was never whether AI takes your job. It was whether you were ever anything more than the motions you repeated. Because somewhere in the last fifty years, we stopped asking what the work was for. We just kept typing. And now the typing is done. And millions of people are about to meet themselves for the first time. With nothing to hide behind. Some of them won’t survive what they find.

Some will already know this, but William Gibson collaborated with the Japanese workwear brand Buzz Rickson about 20 years ago to create a line of military-inspired garments. As far as I know, the line has stayed totally the same — same material, same details, same cuts — even as fashion trends have moved from full to slim and back to full again. How great is it that you could have saved up and splurged on a really nice garment 20 years ago, and if you went to the same store today, it would be totally the same? There's no pressure to "update" your wardrobe. No feeling like you might miss out on the latest drop. If you lose the jacket, you can go to the store and get the same one, even two decades later. There's something special about having that kind of confidence in your aesthetic. Also, not pressuring people to constantly buy buy buy. They purchase one nice thing and wear it for years. Should they decide the garment is not for them, guess what? They can sell it on the second-hand market for about 50% of what they paid because retailers are still selling the same thing. That fashion model is very inspiring to me. Plus, the stuff looks great. The videos below are from the wonderful London-based shop Son of Stag. You can also find at Self Edge, my favorite retailer for denim. They have locations in the United States and Mexico. Both stores specialize in this kind of clothing. You can find both shops on Instagram at the handles sonofastag and selfedge.

Steve Jobs on why the best CEOs work *for* their employees: At a company full of world-class talent, Steve explains, the traditional org chart gets turned upside down. "Where you've got incredibly talented people that are also rare and in demand, if you don't treat them right, they can go get another job in 10 minutes." That reality changes everything about how leadership works: "So, this strange thing happens, which is that the hierarchy of power inverts and the CEO is actually at the bottom. So, I sort of feel like I work for most of these people because they're the ones that are doing all the brilliant work." In Steve's view, management isn't about directing the work. It's about enabling the people doing it: "The best people are very hard to come by and so it's management's job to support them because they're on the front lines doing the work." He explains how that support actually shows up day to day: "We do that by creating the right environments and a very rich environment and removing obstacles out of their way and putting together the right teams of people together and getting the right projects, keeping the quality levels very high both in terms of people and strategy and projects." The takeaway: when your people are the rarest resource in the company, your job as a leader is to clear the path in front of them.

the camera being in a tight close up on both ilya and shane for the entirety of this scene, except for the moment when ilya is working up the courage to say he’s in love. it’s like for the whole conversation it’s just the two of them, there’s nobody else who matters, and then for a brief moment the shot widens as ilya considers the implications of the fact he’s in love with shane. the fact that the rest of the world DOES matter and will always be a presence in their relationship. we’ve been held in this moment between the two of them and by widening the shot, that intimacy is broken just for a second as we’re reminded that there is a world beyond the two of them and ilya is still in russia. what he’s doing is incredibly dangerous. then the camera tightens back into a close up as he realises he needs to say it anyway because all that matters is that he’s on the phone with shane and he’s in love with him. it really is just the two of them in this moment and he doesn’t want to let anyone else in.

And now we arrive at the reason why virginity is not just important but it's the entire basis of a relationship. Once you lose that it's over for you, you're bound to that person who can just move on. The heart is a different matter though and sadly for a man, it's exactly the same as the body for a woman. Will a relationship ever be the same again after your first one? I want to say yes, from the depth of my soul, I really do. But I don't know. Even with her, it was on top of earlier broken glass which made the relationship feel fake for years. Song very related (look up its lyrics). The mind is fully associative and the notion of time doesn't work within it like people think. Every single moment you live is embedded on top of both the past and the future. When you're with someone, even after the unnatural "break up" that person will be with you whenever you're with someone else. That's why they call it a "broken heart", the moment you feel something, you heart will falter, much like a broken leg will cause you to limp. By the way this isn't just psychological but physiological, it shows up on MRIs and is called Broken Heart Syndrome. It can even kill you in some cases. That's why both men and women with a body count are pure poison for your soul, they will drag you into the pit of hell with them out of which you will never emerge again. I want to believe that love can be real again, for someone like us. But I know the unsurmountable gap making it so unlikely that only God can make it so. [...And just so there's no confusion, I refused to fornicate despite the length of our relationship. I thank God every single day that despite the pressure I held on to my morals and never gave up my virginity of body.]

I loved this post from Carl when I read it, and went into our footage to find examples. Check out the video here, and note the way the teachers try to keep their heads up and looking around the room. There's two aspects to that in these videos: 1. A general dispositions of looking around constantly 2. An increased emphasis on it immediately after responding to disruption (of any kind) A lot of the research focuses on teachers who have been doing this for years. It observes them, sees what they are doing, and describes it. But often the vibe is that they do it naturally, that their experience has just sort of led them to acting in a certain way. I think for many that might be right, but we mustn't lose sight of the fact that strategies like this can be taught and assimilated rapidly. For example, in this video Abi was in her ECT year, but has the "gaze" of a teacher with 10 years more experience than her. Great teaching isn't a mystery or a secret. It can be noticed, disassembled, communicated and implemented.

Rick Rubin describes how the same creative aesthetic is present in everything he does: “You're at Shangri-La and you walk through the space and you see it doesn't feel like other places you've been. It has the same aesthetic as the records I make, or the things that I work on, or things that I buy.” “It’s the same aesthetic. It’s all fitting into a [creative] worldview.” ——— And then Rick and I tied this to the same creative personality type you see in every field: David: “I've had my first podcast for a decade. And it started out just me reading biographies of people that build businesses. But over time I realized it’s the same personality type: The artist, the entrepreneur, the filmmaker, the musician. I've done podcasts on all of these kind of people and I don't see any distinction between them.” Rick: “It's the same. It’s the same. It's all the creative spirit.” “Most of what I do is not really about music. I happen to work in music but it's not about the music. Does that make sense?”

Imagine living across the street from someone for 30 years and they don’t even know your full name, and the reason that don’t know not only your name but the wife only knows the name of the one Neighbor she talks to on either side of her home, and the reason for that is people that go through life this way think the whole universe revolves around them, we’ve all known people like this. If you look up and down the street of this neighborhood everyone parks in their driveway except for these people, they have their raggedy boat stuffed in their driveway. The whole street is empty, he could have parked that car anywhere even on his side of the street where he should have parked it to begin with. What do you think is at work here ? I believe they think their Neighbor is a soft touch and I totally believe the man when he says he does it because it bothers him. How do you resolve a situation like this ? Some people will disrespect you until you make the necessary adjustments. I’m glad Josh isn’t my neighbor… or maybe it’s the other way around😡

This is for all the people in the arena ( your life, your career, your family ) who are doing it for them .. not for the validation of the crowd One of the great issues in our society right now is that people live their lives for outside validation, for the clicks, for the likes, for the followers, for the comments. This isn't just in social media. This is happening in the analog and real world too. Too many people are keeping up with the Joneses and worried about what people think about them. They worry about what people think about how much money they have, what school they go to, or even worse, what school their kids go to, and on and on and on … I will continue to make content with the hope it breaks someone out of the hamster wheel and that’s that ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Abdul El-Sayed says healthcare providers are regularly discriminating against black and Arabic patients, and Medicare for All would stop it "Right now in our country, the vast majority of people of color are funded on government health insurance programs that do not reimburse at the same level as private health insurance. So we basically are saying that in our country, care provided for a black child, for example, is reimbursed at nearly half the rate as a white child. We're basically valuing that child's body differently." "Now, the challenge when your health care is not reimbursed at the same level is that you end up getting discriminated against at the point of care. And I've seen that with my own eyes. It is heart-wrenching. But if you have the security of Medicare in your back pocket, no matter who you are, the system doesn't discriminate against you, because your body commands the same quality of care, the same reimbursement rate as anybody else. It removes that profit incentive." "I have seen too many people from communities where they look like you or look like me being discriminated against at the point of care because of the health care that they have. I want to end that. Medicare for All would end that."

Kings of the Road (1976, Wenders) "'Kings of the Road' (1976) is a story that you're not often told in films about men. The story of the absence of women, which is at the same time the story of the longing for their presence!" --- Wim Wenders Full Excerpt: "'Kings of the Road' (1976) is the story of two men, but it doesn't take a Hollywood approach to the subject. American films about men - especially recent ones - are exercises in suppression: the men's true relationships with women, or with each other, are displaced by story, action and the need to entertain. They leave out the real nub: why the men prefer to be together, why they get on with each other, why they don't get on with women, or, if they do, then only as a pastime. My film is about precisely that: two men getting on together, each preferring the other's company to that of a woman. You get to see the shortcomings of both of them, their emotional insecurity; you see them trying to be mutually supportive and to hide their faults. But with the passage of time they're no longer bothered by these faults, and when they know each other well enough they begin discussing them. As a consequence of that, they split up. They split up because, on their journey across Germany, they've suddenly grown too close. It's a story that you're not often told in films about men. The story of the absence of women, which is at the same time the story of the longing for their presence!" ('The Logic of Images, Essays and Conversations, Wim Wenders, 1988)
