You can’t be serious. You must be trolling.
Decreasing wages, reducing competitiveness, Increasing rental costs, decreasing housing volume, stressing social services, decreasing manned ethics and morals, rising crime, collapsing education, creating political division – and the loss of the European lower classes (again) because of it all, especially to drugs – with urbanites neither demonstrate responsibility nor able to hold it in dense populations even if they wished, and they vote to advance irresponsibility – despite that the success of the west vs the rest is because of that responsibility

I have been ‘on mission’ since I was twelve. To run a business, to build wealth, and to fund my intellectual efforts, and the purpose of those efforts. If you don’t have a mission you need to find one. Otherwise you’re the neighbor in “Office Space (1999)”. Women are attracted…

Also, if I haven’t said it already, the general rule whether personal or public is to try to obtain what you want indirectly by providing what you can, and using the returns to get what you want, or indirectly in government, through suppression of ‘bads’, rather than the…

Yes, and I don’t care if he’s a bit off the religious rails if it results in the kind of work ethic, precision, and quality he produces over and over and over again. 😉

Suggestion to add to your portfolio of wisdom:
Doing what imposes costs on others hurts everyone by either depriving the producers or disabling, creating dependency, and exaggerating the reproduction of the non-producers.
Instead, we all benefit from NOT doing things that impose costs upon others.
If enough of us live in proximity that we all benefit from not imposing costs on others we develop trustworthiness and trust.
If we develop homogenous trustworthiness and trust when living in proximity, we lower opportunity costs, and lower the risk and in doing so lower transaction costs.
If we create the informal commons of trustworthiness and trust, lowering opportunity and transaction costs, then can then use some percentage of proceeds from not doing things to one another, that we can create commons of both formal institutions, and physical infrastructure to further lower our opportunity, transaction, information, goods, and services costs.
If we further lower our costs of opportunity, transaction, information, goods and services in an environment of homogenous trust in proximity to one another, we create an advantage that attracts others who will conform to those norms and institutions which again lowers opportunity and transaction costs further and increases the division of labor decreasing the costs of more complex and diverse goods, services and information.
The lesson is that we all benefit from the prohibition on imposition of costs upon others, including the prohibition on others free riding on the production of commons that lower opportunity, transaction, and material costs.
Conversely, we all experience harm from the tolerance for imposition of costs upon others, especially those directly, or indirectly by free riding on the production of commons – including the commons of trustworthiness and trust that made all our benefits possible.
This is why we are converting from a high trust northern european population to a lower and lower and lower one – and discovering the informal, formal, and material costs that follow that decline.

The quality of the work is more important than the medium. Though the cost of producing the medium does impact the perceived value of a thing, just as all perceptions of cost impact such value. Most monochrome great work is created in pencil then amplified by line, brush, or engraving for the purpose of durability. But assuming you use a high quality cotton low acid paper, and apply a fixative spray over the top there is no reason you cannot produce a work of both economic and aesthetic value.

Humans are not Omniscient Omniferacious Omnibenevolent Omnipotent, which is why humans require a division of knowledge, competency, ability, and labor.
