 Oh just finished morning exercises man Monday is a hard day heavy weights Okay, so what am I talking about today? I've spoken about how an adventure builder should behave when they're when they're doing things You know you should have honor honesty imagination love courage strength life Humility you should adhere to these principles, but then the next question is Okay, so what's the point though? What should an adventure builder do while they're doing all these things? Like what's what's the overall goal or some kind of some kind of guideline of how to hmm, you know Now if I were to whittle it down to its most basic concept, which I did I Would say an adventure builders goal is to increase value in the universe That's it, you know everything else is just details you can do that a lot of different ways There's a lot of different ways to to create value it depends on who you are what you're good at what you enjoy whatever there's a lot of different ways to increase value in the world and one of the difficult things about this is That as a living creature we have to consume value like just to live every time my heart beats It's using energy every time I I do it by move. I'm moving right now using energy That means I have to eat I have to consume this this food I have to have some kind of shelter. I have to use resources to build that shelter I have to consume water and air well the air is kind of convenient because whenever you breathe out It turns into to plant air, which is kind of really nice. So breathe all you want man But let's let's start with food for example never waste food and This kind of goes against one of the things we're taught in our modern consumerist society and I mean we talk about it as if we are supposed to be consumers like we're a consumer society We need to consume to keep the economy going Forget that man. That's not adventure builder. You don't just consume. Don't don't take anything You don't you're not going to use to increase the value if if there's something you really don't need to use Don't don't throw away food Don't take more food than you need because whenever you take food You're taking that energy from some other life something else could eat that or Something died so that you can have that food or something used its energy like you are taking energy From the universe you're consuming. That's negative value anytime you waste. That's negative value So don't don't waste food. Don't waste resources. Don't waste stuff Ah Now one of the really cool things about being in a consumerist wasteful society is that there's lots of garbage around now This is unfortunate. However, an adventure builder should see this as an opportunity to at least improve the circumstances Anytime you can use a piece of garbage and turn it into something useful turn it back into something useful You've increased the value of that item. You've increased value overall value in the universe boom great thing So anytime you can use something that someone else has deemed waste turn it back into something valuable excellent thing to do Now something like Buying land as an investment to resell it for more money later This is not adventure builder man. It is a terrible thing to do See when we're when we're kids were told don't take something just because you know someone else wants it and That makes perfect sense as you're when you're a kid, right? But then we grow up and that exact same thing is a good business decision But it's a terrible adventure builder decision because if you buy some land for $5,000 And you don't do anything to it to add value and then you turn around and sell it for $50,000 All you've done is sucked $45,000 worth of someone else's energy out of their hands for nothing There are all kinds of Business investments like this that you can get into where you can make lots of money that actually add zero value to the world and Take value from the world. So don't it's like it's it's basically being a thief It's being a dishonorable thief no law is going to tell you you can't do it But you're invent your adventure builder honor should tell you don't do crap like that Don't take something just because you know someone else wants it and you know that if you take it You can make them pay more for it. Haha. No, that is a bad thing to do Okay Now let's get on to though that that kind of covers a bunch of different ways to not waste So don't waste now. What do you create? You know you have to use some kind of energy and if you're gonna be alive Let's figure out how to create something that increases value value in the universe. Well, the simplest ways the most obvious ways are just to Create basic needs Figure out how to grow food Build build a house build shelter, you know, do do something that Helps someone yourself Anyone get it get a useful water source putting a bucket Putting a barrel by your eaves trough Collecting the water so that you don't have to to collect the water from somewhere else You've just saved the energy of having to get the water from somewhere else And now you're using water that would have just run away anyway So collect the water and I realized that there are places in the world that have laws that say you can't do this So not adventure builder. Everyone who made those rules are just destroying value in the world They're taking away. They're taking away valuable things in the world and that is not a good thing anytime you can Create some food or create some clean water create some kind of life affirming stuff Create some shelter that's gonna last That is adding value to the world Now when you create Now when you create something like shelter or or tools or anything that's useful like that The longer the longer time period the longer lifespan you can give to these tools are better So if you have a choice between building a Shovel this is an example I have used because I have built several shovels If you have a choice between building a shovel with regular steel and building a shovel with stainless steel and Building the shovel with stainless steel is going to cost four times as much as the regular steel one Do the calculation in your head? Okay? How this is this cost four times as much but how much longer is it going to last if it's going to last like a hundred times Longer than overall that has 25 times the value of the steel one So make the stainless steel one even though it takes a bigger investment in the beginning It ends up in the long term being a much better a much a much greater value in the universe And again, this is this goes against everything. We're taught today in our disposable society We've got a consumerist disposable society where people are just Consumer resources and turning them into garbage as fast as they can to run this weird Economy financial system, which is so destructive. So forget about all that Now, you know life cannot be all about just doing what has to be done You know making food and houses and stuff and this is where an adventure builder gets to the cool stuff You know, we don't need to have inventions or adventures and all this stuff But otherwise, what's the point of being alive? So once you've got all that other stuff kind of taken care of and you're working on that You know, that's that's when you get to get into making inventions building giant robots Not because it needs to be done or anyone has to have it But because it's a cool thing that that makes that brings more coolness to the world It adds something to the universe that you isn't really tangible, you know when you have You know when you have an object that's greater than the sum of its parts like like me If you stuck me in a blender and and just spewed me out I would be much less valuable But you you assemble me into this thing and suddenly I have some kind of living conscious value Anytime you can create something where you take take the parts and you make something that has some emergent Value that's that's greater than the sum of its parts that that's a beautiful thing And this is where it really gets into depends what you want to do who you are what you're good at What kind of things you like like I really like building machines So if I can build some machines that can you know Inspire people and make them lift people's hearts and make them feel better about about the world in the universe in general great other people do do paintings or or Architecture I also do architecture and paintings actually but you know the point is you whatever you do man Whatever you do do it and love it and put your heart and soul into it and just Whatever you can do add add value to the universe. That's what an adventure builder does add value to the universe minimize your waste Maximize the value you're outputting. That's it. All right. Oh I think I'm kind of cooled down now from my exercise time to go do some work Ah, I forgot a point. I wanted to make one of the great ways you can increase value in the world is to increase your own value because you're in the world So get some exercise learn some things gain skills so that you can do more of Whatever it is you do and you need to consume less medical attention or help or whatever Learn the difference between helping someone and just patting yourself on the back Close your mouth and listen There are all kinds of ways that you can you can improve yourself Maybe you need to meditate to get rid of some anger so that you can be more patient with your family or friends or children or whatever Speaking of children teach your kids teach your kids spend time with them teach them because they're taking all this into the future After you're dead They're gonna take whatever you give them into the future if you can give them some kind of good stuff They can take into the future that is adding value into the future world where you're not even gonna be that is a great thing All right Yeah, now I'm really gonna do some work
