    As a Catholic, it's pretty standard "devil is the prince of this world" stuff. Rejecting the world is entirely valid; it's why people become monks and hermits.

    I found black mold behind my AC vents. Suddenly, health issues that "randomly" flared up as soon as the weather was less than ideal made sense. I now have multiple expensive dehumidifiers and air purifiers constantly running.

    I'm shocked at how prevalent mold in homes is nowadays but nobody is talking about it. Feels like a billion+ opportunity for any aspiring entrepreneurs out there.

    Do you seriously expect us to believe any human still has the attention span to write a long post like yours? Obviously AI.

    The Quest for a Clearer Mind and Less Digital Assault on my Attention

    MINDSET 
    I have a CAT 22 Flipphone. Technically a smart phone, but so buggy and inconvenient it's hard to use it as one.

    Getting negative comments on social media posts from your indirect competitor's wife is a milestone I didn't know existed. She should have waited a month when we'd be directly competing with him. On one hand, I feel bad because the more market share we get, the more likely competitors will...

    The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Random Chat Thread...

    - AI - 
    Somebody should create an AI shopify extension for stores with a large amount of SKUs to help customers find what they're looking for. Example: Bookstores I'm a business owner struggling to manage cashflow. What books should I read? I'm a teenage girl obsessed with romance and vampires. I've...

    Your redemption and second chance is here. Will you take it?

    GOLD! ASSERTION 
    I already see a lot of AI videos on YouTube. I'd make a tool for fiction author's that helps them create shorts about their novels. Sell directly to authors or partner up with publishing houses. Marketing in 2025. Edit: Do the same for video games, TV shows, all forms of media. Create...

    Building a Manufacturing Conglomerate Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    All my machines have different controls. It's often a big sticking point when manufacturing companies try to expand because they feel trapped into buying the same control on the new machine as their previous for the sake of standardization as well employee training and hiring. The industry...

    Building a Manufacturing Conglomerate Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    New machine day! Bought a $180k machine for $65k from a bank foreclosure. We have more orders than we can fulfill and I can't schedule time to develop new SKUs or product lines without interrupting production, so this machine is perfect. I have a product launch coming up that's going to...

    I'm curious, what's the incentive for having a newsletter like this? It makes me wonder. If I had a similar public platform where I'd occasionally share useful insights and progress on interesting projects, would it not be a great way to make like-minded friends and reach potential founders...

    Fastlane-ish and growing. Now what?

    MINDSET RANT 
    I don't disagree. I feel repulsed by how complacent I am and I'm starting to feel the pressure of how little time we have. I don't have a mission, but I don't want it to be "conquering". Life or death/challenging does sound fun though. Maybe. That's not for me to judge. And you'd be surprised...

    Fastlane-ish and growing. Now what?

    MINDSET RANT 
    I'm 25 years old. My business just cracked bringing me 6 figures and will keep growing if I keep doing the bare minimum (less than 10hr/week). (Progress thread). I'll probably put in above average effort till the end of the year and make even more money while building a team to handle the stuff...
