“Listen up, buttercup — we are literally on the verge of solving humanity’s greatest problems. Literally.

We’ve already got AI helping cure cancer, creating miracle treatments for dogs that put one man’s pet into remission, folding proteins like it’s laundry, and building robots that’ll work 24/7 without complaining about overtime, needing coffee breaks, or disagreeing with you politically — unless they’re made by Anthropic.

Nuclear fusion? That holy grail that’s dodged physicists for decades? Yeah, it’s finally looking doable. We’re about to become an intergalactic species — sending robots to Mars, the Moon, and beyond to seed the possibility of humans going inter-galacti. And don’t even get me started on reversing cellular aging. We might live for centuries… if not forever!

And yet… here we are in 2026, arguing like toddlers in a sandbox, ready to tear each other down because ‘that guy over there has more stuff than me.’

Bro. Come on.

I’ve lived abroad. I’ve been to 60 countries. Let me tell you how insanely lucky you are as an American.

In Costa Rica, if you were pulling five bucks an hour, people looked at you like you just won a small lottery. ‘Wow, you’re doing pretty well!’ Nothing to sneeze at.

In Thailand, people making a thousand dollars a month think they’ve got a great job — working six days a week, ten hours a day. And guess what? There’s actual social cohesion — partly thanks to Buddhism — and almost zero crime.

But here in America? Someone’s making $19 an hour and suddenly it’s time to burn down a Kimberly-Clark warehouse with $500 million worth of product — the blood, sweat, and tears of other human beings — because ‘how dare they pay me so little!’

That, my friends, is pure envy injected straight into the veins of society by people who profit from your rage.

Yes, wealth disparity is bigger than ever before. But you know what else is bigger? The actual wealth of the average person!

I toured the castle of the King of Portugal from around 1900. Dude lived like a king… for that time. Given the choice between being him or a lower-class American today? Give me Appalachia.

Why? Because I’ve got a smartphone in my pocket a million times more powerful than what took Apollo to the moon. I’ve got a flat-screen TV, air conditioning, and I can hop on a plane to Southeast Asia whenever I want. Our government prints dollars and exports the inflation to the rest of the planet. I’m not saying that economic vampirism is morally correct… but lord, it sure makes life easier when you’re from the red, white, and blue.

That Portuguese king never flew on an airplane. He never made a free video call to his mom on the other side of the world. Billionaires today solved those problems for all of us — and they grew the damn pie doing it and were rewarded in kind.

Yeah, yeah — I know. Social media lets you peek through the window at how the Kardashians live. Most people don’t live like that. Boo-hoo.

Here’s a radical idea: Board a Southwest flight — even with the B boarding group — split an Airbnb on the Florida coastline with your buddies, throw some burgers on the grill, and enjoy your damn life.

We are living in the luckiest, most abundant era in human history.

I personally live a blessed life. I worked hard, long hours, and made my dollars stretch further by living abroad. But let me be crystal clear:

Getting inspired by Luigi Mangione — that thoughtless, wicked murderer who killed a father of two — and cheering him on as some kind of folk hero? That doesn’t make you edgy. It doesn’t make society better. It makes you part of the problem.

Burning down warehouses and destroying the work of others doesn’t “strike a blow for the little guy” — it just shrinks the pie for everyone.

So I’m begging you — stop comparing yourself to the Kardashians or Mark Zuckerberg.

Compare yourself to the 99% of the world that would literally kill to make $19 an hour.

Compare yourself to that Portuguese king in 1900. Because He would trade places with you in a heartbeat.

Stop being envious of the producers — the Elons, the Palmer Luckeys — the people bringing us this magic and keeping America defended.

Be thankful you get to live today, in this modern age of miracles.

And for the love of everything good — prepare yourself for the absolute bounty that’s coming. The productivity gains from AI are going to be a deluge.

The future is bright… if we don’t burn it down out of petty jealousy first.

Now go touch some grass, grill something, and maybe — just maybe — build instead of destroy. Ands most of be grateful for what you have, not what you don’t.

Peace.”
