@Manhattva@KimballCall People have that mentality about your ranch? I don't see how its remotely the same. Billboards are ugly in and of themselves, they block beauty, and they are an opportunity cost for other, more beautiful things, like large trees. Developing a ranch is beautiful in its own right.
you can make something 1-5% as beautiful as your most beautiful vacation in Paris or the Italian countryside or where-ever, at home in your own way, with great effort. And living in it will be more visceral, sensual, and satisfying than taking trips to these places
i suspect demand for labor-intensive aesthetics will go up over the coming decades.
furniture with wood carving, stone masonry, architecture that incorporates sculpted structure, and other deep crafts.
and there will be a talent shortage. we need more schools of lost crafts.
I think theatres with advance natural acoustics will increase in demand. Imagine sitting with 20,000 people in a modern theatre of Epidaurus, an unamplified folk band that every single person can hear clearly.

Life is just an extended vacation for young women. Many of these women will spend four years or more partying, indulging in drugs and alcohol, and participating in hookup culture.
As soon as they graduate, they’re far more likely to get higher paying jobs and have a better quality of life than a man who spent four years studying and working hard to support himself through college.
These sorority girls, with their well paid jobs, will then spend their young adult years traveling, partying, and engaging in the same behaviors they did in college.
But the worst part is that the same older men who drool over these videos are the ones elevating these women into positions of power and influence.
So young men are forced to sit back and watch incompetent women take their jobs while older people mock them and media outlets write articles claiming they have “abandoned the workforce.”
What does it say about a society when harlots have a higher socioeconomic status than competent men?
Termination of TEMPORARY Protected Status is now in effect for the following countries.
For those with terminated TPS: LEAVE NOW or be DEPORTED.

My coworker pays $580 a month for his family’s health coverage. That’s nearly $7,000 a year coming straight out of his check before he ever sees a dime of it.
His youngest got a sprained wrist at soccer practice. Went to urgent care, got an X-ray, wrapped it in a splint, and left in 40 minutes.
Two weeks later, he gets a bill for $1,200.
Insurance covered $0 because he hasn't met his $6,000 family deductible yet.
You aren't paying for healthcare. You are paying a monthly subscription fee for the privilege of paying full price out-of-pocket when something actually goes wrong.
I'm told Affordability isn't a Problem
I'm told i can just cook at home
Yet, i can go through my Purchase History, the price for the Exact same Product and Exact same Weight has Doubled since 2023.
i’m fully convinced AI + robotics will unleash the greatest aesthetic renaissance human civilization has ever seen
the cost of building beautiful things is about to collapse
we just need to care about beauty again.
