And I think everyone would be so much more happy if they realized they can just up and do stuff. But that manifest truth is concealed. .... It's one thing that makes me sad about Joann Fabrics going out of business. Not a lot of people sew, and Joann Fabrics was a chain, etc. etc., but when fabric and thread, needles, scissors, patterns aren't available to people, they don't know that actually, you can make a garment for yourself! .... which doesn't mean you have to suddenly stop buying clothes, of course not! But you actually have the power, if you have the supplies.

... My former tutee from El Salvador talked about that with building a house. How people just ... built houses. See, and that's something that's inconceivable to me: oh no--you need an architect and people who understand about, like, pouring foundations and electrical wiring and piping and all that. And yeah, even in El Salvador you have to learn to do those things, but a person can learn!

And now there'll be people thinking they can't write a thing, that they need to let chatGPT write it...
