    (FB 1546798360 Timestamp) THIS YEAR … We are going to need: … (a) coaches/mentors for young men, and a way to filter those coaches to eliminate the quacks and losers, and we will seek to concentrate income in small numbers of them. … (b) a class in teaching mindfulness (self authoring) in the three points of the spectrum: stoicism, epicureanism, and aristocracy (the amount of available agency). Again, concentrating income in small numbers. … (c) a participating network of Paintball/Airsoft groups … (d) a participating network of firearms instructors/ranges that teach not TARGET shooting but fight-shooting (i have specific requirements for this). … (e) a VERY select group of fire-and-movement trainers in the SWAT rather than MILITARY experience. (De-emphasizing patrol and emphasizing strikes and raids. ) … (f) a VERY select group of martial arts (striking, wrestling)
    … (g) “the idiots guide to lifting heavy things.” … (h) ” organized hiking, camping, marching etc” events with barbeques or sandwitches. afterward. … (i) political event participation in the assistance of others without drawing specific attention to the institute or the movement. Fighting and shooting are high returns for the first 20%. In other words, 80% of the benefit of training is in the first 20% of the training. This is how we make men fit. Most young men who need this kind of thing do not have a lot of extra money. We need to make sure we are using scale so that we keep the prices down for them.

Forget the soft top. make it hard top only (better security anyway), and aside from the axles and tires its a pretty cheap vehicle that will literally go anywhere. You don’t need 500 hp in these vehicles. You just need to know you can go thru sand, snow, water and brush with them at the cost of expensive tires and brakes ever 50k miles.

    (FB 1548545500 Timestamp) THE SELF-REGULATION OF THE ARTS –Art is a way of making an idea real (open to experience). Art is the demonstrated property of an artist. Art is governed by established rules and principles and demonstrates an observance of limits on what is permitted or appropriate.”—Spencer Young This is .. really good structure. Rarely good structure. Pls let me suggest a tweak to your thought process a bit, and to riff off this opportunity to educate others: –“…governed by…”— This phrase is an analogy, not a description. Is art ‘governed?’. No. The process of regulation is much more elegant than that.

    • There exist economic costs of the production of different art forms.
    • There exist civilizations capable of paying the costs of different art forms (or not).
    • There exist technologies within each craft as well as the craft of aesthetics.
    • There exists symbolic content and aesthetic composition that ‘brands’ periods (states of development).
    • There exists mastery of the craft, the aesthetics, and the informational(symbolic) content.
    • There exists a tradition in all of the above (market).
    • There exists imitation that causes that tradition(market).
    • There are canons (reference works) that reinforce imitation and tradition (standards of weights and measures);
    • There is a market for imitation, canons, and the art itself.

    This is one of those deceptively hard questions of art theory. As far as I know, art is an ancient, even eternal, self-regulating market that ‘demonstrates demand for art works within both current and traditional limits of craftsmanship, aesthetics, meaning, context of display, and morals/ethics/manners (appropriateness).” There is plenty of ‘market manipulation’ in the arts, and it has been so forever. Just like every other market. However, professionals are rarely fooled. And tradition of the heroic value of arts continues unabated. (thanks for letting me riff with this)
