Catch22 on videos like this is that you have to record everything and edit and publish it to social media
That sort of mindset is naturally unhealthy and self centered since you’re seeking validation on social media, which conflicts with the “I’m happy” tone of the video

called out almost 1.5 years ago making a list of over levered AirBnB hosts who will sell with pandemic issues.
Delayed due to moratoriums, but a house I’ve been watching for that time just went onto the market. Great call from Bull.

It was this moment less than a year ago I decided not to associate with a certain member of the jungle.
I felt they were a narcissist, had no moral boundaries (in info sec too 😱), a con man, and a huckster.
They damaged the bowtied brand more so than anyone else here.

It's so easy for men to slip into a feeling of no purpose and emptiness
This is why we need to build and craft. We create to build upon our souls and fulfill that void.
Starting a loving family, working on the car, writing software. These activities fulfill ourselves.

When he blatantly bought thousands of bot followers but had 0 interactions on his tweets I knew he was a fraud. He used that and fake accounts to start selling his boot camps.

This is why I will scream Local AI till I turn blue.
Microsoft is going to take all your data, offload to the cloud, perform big data operations and use AI to “help” you.
There will be minimal regard for privacy and your data can be used by the feds
