This @elonmusk answer is worth reflecting on. Someone asked him what he'd do if he had to start over with $1,000:
"It's impossible for someone to have this amount of knowledge, all the knowledge that I have, and then be dropped down to a low resource amount... I will be able to ask people to just give me money, with the promise that I will have a high return, which is what I'm able to do right now. If you give me a dollar, you will get back much more than a dollar."
Strip away the brand and the billions and look at what he's actually pointing to. Two assets, neither of which sits in a bank account. The first is knowledge: everything he's learned about how to build things that work.
The second is harder to name but more valuable: a reputation as a builder. People hand him money on the promise of a return because he has spent years proving he delivers one.
Notice that money never shows up in his answer as the thing he relies on. It shows up as the output. The knowledge and the track record sit upstream. The capital is downstream, summoned on demand by someone who built a history of turning one dollar into many.
That's the inverse of the assumption almost every modern family makes. We treat financial capital as the load-bearing structure of the family's future and human capital as a soft skill set we hope our kids absorb along the way.
So we obsess over trust architecture, succession planning, and tax efficiency. We spend almost nothing, measured in attention rather than dollars, on the actual humans expected to inherit it: their knowledge, their judgment, their willingness to work like people who have something to build.
The result is families with fortunes preserved beautifully and people preserved poorly. The money outlasts the meaning it was supposed to fund.
Now widen the lens. AI and robotics may strip necessity out of most people's lives the way wealth has already stripped it from affluent families. Most people were not raised to believe they could lose everything and rebuild it from what they know and how hard they work. They were raised to optimize for stability inside a system they assumed would hold. That system is shifting under their feet.
Elon's answer is really a question in disguise. Ask it of yourself. Ask it of your kids. If the resources reset to zero tomorrow, what do you still carry? What do you actually know how to do, would you do the work, and would anyone trust you to do it?
That's the kind of wealth that compounds across the economic upheaval that's coming.
CHARLIE KIRK: "The Marxists have infiltrated your government & the Muslims are coming into your country.
They have HUGE disagreements on a lot, but they both agree on one thing:
They HATE the West, and want to see it broken."
“You can’t politicise Henry Nowak’s death.”
This from the people who have politicised adverts, TV shows, films, sporting events, award ceremonies, documentaries, healthcare, school textbooks, college courses, the weather, and language itself!
I don’t think the average person realises how deeply imbedded it is in neo-Marxist ideology that black people CANNOT be racist because they are an ‘oppressed’ group.
They can be prejudiced. But not racist.
Racism is for white people (‘oppressors’) only.
The neo-Marxist position is that racism is prejudice plus power.
And because white people have all the power (according to Marxist ideology), it follows that only white people can be racist.
That’s the logic at the back of all this anti-white racism.
Rule by law is an easier option for authoritarian governments than the rule of law. It offers a facade of legitimacy, enables selective enforcement, and facilitates institutional capture with lower risk and cost than genuine constraints on power.

TODAY: Senate Hearing: Dr. Angus Dalgleish proves the ‘Covid Vaccine’ drove cancers which exploded in his stable patients.
“I have evidence on this…I’ve been in Cancer and Immunotherapy for 3 decades. My cancer patients relapsed after taking the Covid Vaccine…”
What’s the difference between a right and a guarantee?
A right doesn’t require someone else to provide it. A guarantee does.
Both can be valuable. But they’re not the same thing. And kids who don’t know the difference don’t have a clear framework for thinking about freedom.
That’s the gap Tuttle Twins closes.

A proposed data centre in the Scottish Borders has been described by local communities as a "monster" which would drain "the life and beauty from the landscape".
All over the UK these energy and water guzzling monstrosities are being developed in scenic rural areas. No one voted for this.
There are currently over 500 active data centres in the UK, making it the largest data centre market in Western Europe and the third largest globally - putting huge strain on the UK’s energy and water supply. And meanwhile, we are told to stop using hosepipes and to turn the lights out.
