And you are about to be our 14,320th accumulated viewer. So thank you for that. So we jump right in and get the first picture up because last week we sent me to the big island, check on there and see how the balance between the beautiful natural and the men and hopefully in the future, increasing the women made a built environment is. And we went to Hawaii that was having fun and spouting out magma. And we went to the project that is the closest to that, which is the Mauna Kea Beach Resort Hotel and also the Mauna Lani down the coast and they get pretty close to that. Then this slide, when I flew back to our island and it's not very visible, but the top slender piece up there is our panoramic out of the airplane where you see that in addition to the green natural mountains, there is in this case predominantly white or beige as the preferred color here for some odd reasons. There is a built mountain line here. These are high rises. And this project here, we just can't hide because the picture at the bottom right has been floating around for quite some while. That is supposed to be the most, the newest Kamehameha school high rise in Kaka'ako. And it was now in this, you know, the Hawaiian Airlines magazine, the Hana Ho with the rendering to the left. And the Soto and Matt who are with us today, the Soto from his Bishop Museum here in Honolulu, Hawaii, as always. And Matt Noblette in Boston, Massachusetts, with us today, hi Matt. Hello. So Matt, you've been visiting us quite a bit over the last couple of years and decades. And as we will find out soon, you're an expert in many things and also come from all buildings as an experience. How does this one here look to you guys? I mean, it's always difficult to judge without, you know, judging a book by its cover is probably an unfair thing.   I find myself a bit skeptical, but I, you know, certainly would welcome more information. That's fair to say. And the Soto, you and I have been, you know, a bit more trained and a little less patient, I guess over the years, but I think Matthew point is right on, I think this looks like could be a Boston high rise because it is, it has a glass envelope. So if that's triple pain, which you need these days, it would probably keep you warm in the wintertime to come soon. And in recognition of these, you know, few summer months where it's also very nice outside, you could go outside on these, we probably can call them balconies and not yet lanai's the Soto, right? Yeah, and I think, again, I just, I agree with what Matt said, it's hard to judge in this particular case, but basically it comes down to the thing that you, Martin and I are always talking about and the livability of high rises in Honolulu really depends upon one, being able to open the windows or open sliding doors and two, having a lanai. And the whole point is, as Matt knows very well, you live in a very hostile environment for much of the year and we live in a very loving environment for most of the year. And so what we need to take advantage of our environment to not only make our lives better in these buildings, but also to save energy. And that's a really basic thing that everybody needs to do all over the world. Yeah. I'm always, when I think about, I mean, 25 years of being in Hawaii at all different times of the year, the only times I've ever been uncomfortable have been inside of man-made interventions of one sort or another. I mean, and then you think to yourself, what are we doing here, right? When the least comfortable place is something that we inflicted upon ourselves. And it's right over, it's either, it's an over conditioned office building or it's a house or some building that doesn't have the right dimensions to ventilate properly.  Right, right. Well, and I could just add too, Matt, I work in Bishop Museum, so it's always cold inside and that's why I have on a jacket. But it has to be cold inside because we're taking care of objects that need to be kept in certain climatic conditions. So I have to adapt myself to what's best for the things that are being cared for. But in a home, you don't need to do that in an apartment, you don't need to do that. Exactly. And I really, with respect for you guys saying, unless we have more information, we don't wanna get more critical, but I go ahead and say, okay, sorry. We probably, there's little doubt that when we see the plan, we see confirmed that this is a double loaded corridor building, right? From its width, it's very likely. And that is wrong to begin with, right? Mid-century modernism that we all appreciate had a single loaded corridor. That's basically the one to do. And then glass as very likely fixed glazing, especially the front end, that is facing the ocean for the views. That is where the sun sets. That is baking you unless you have that AC behind. So I have to say, sorry already, I think this is, they put this kind of texture sprinkle on as we talked before the show, texture I think is very inherent for the tropics because in the tropics, everything needs to spread out as architecture should do. And in the temperate, both in Boston and in Munich, where by the way you are going right after the show, jumping into the airplane and going there, you need to basically, you know, tuck yourself down and decrease your surface relative to your volume. That's the way to do it. Nature does it, even our cells do it, animals do it, birds do it, and architecture need to do this too. So it's very likely sort of a nicely kind of camouflaged as textured building that is more or less a invasive hermetic. And we also read exclusive building once again, right? The first, their first basically sales pitch is a sustainably, and that one we questioned all the things we just basically said and then designed luxury high rise. So the question is the Soto, you being from here and this being your culture and Kamehameha school representing your culture, is that what you guys need more of luxury? Well, no, not truly no. I can understand the idea of having a sort of a portfolio, if you will, of different buildings for different levels of your economy so that because and Kamehameha schools does need to produce income to keep the school going. So there is a place for all kinds of development within its holdings, but at the same time for the Hawaiian people, no luxury developments are not needed as much as affordable developments are needed. And so we do see that of course, different districts of Honolulu have different levels of economic development and economic clout. So yes, there are luxury areas and there are low income areas as well. But basically, yeah, we don't need necessarily more luxury condos for Hoy's presidents. We need more affordable ones. Whenever I see something like this, I always find myself asking if I didn't do anything else to alter the architecture, but I just didn't make that central corridor that you're sure exists. And I think you're right. What if that, why does that have to be interior space in Hawaii, right? Only because the expectation of somebody who's can pay for the top floor here is that from the place where they parked their car till their front door, they're in an interior environment, but that in and of itself would be such a huge improvement, right? There's a great hotel in Austin that I stayed in a couple of weeks ago called the Carpenter Hotel. And it's essentially a kind of standard hotel plan if you can imagine that, but there's no enclosure to the hallways anywhere. So like right away you've created a very, you've embraced the kind of the local environment and you've reduced the volume that you have to condition because they still condition the rooms obviously, nobody would stand for that probably in Austin, but it seems to me like such a simple thing that makes a huge difference. So you get to your rooms on the exterior, there's an exterior walkway, like a short, a small walk up? No, it's actually like in that building we're looking at, it's not that tall, nearly that tall, but imagine that there just wasn't any glass at the end of the corridor. You just looked down the corridor and it was open, right? And breezes through there and the humidity is in there and you actually feel like you've gone outside when you step outside your front door rather than hermetically sealed. As it is the way in where we are broadcasting from my end here, which is the Grand Hotel in Waikiki, the Grand Waikiki Grand Hotel that is by Ernest. Not all that grand to be honest. Well, it's very inclusive and diverse and lots of things and it was designed by Ernest Hara, who then is the father of John Hara, who is the father of Mayumi Hara and their great intergenerational team, as is the office met that you joined and are representing here on the show Banish as with Günther and Stefan. And here the grandfather designed it in exactly the same way. There's two wings and one wing is single loaded corridor where the developers then say, okay, that's less economical and there is some truth to that, right? But the other wing that I'm on is exactly as you described it. It's open to the single loaded corridor and then open very open to the other side. So again, fire rating quite problematic, as we know, from the Marco Polo building and the fire here, but I often have a piece of wood in my door as to get that cross breeze through, right? And I think this is a great transition to the next slide, please. Because as you just said, Matt, little tweaks could make a big difference. And that's what I thought when I put this here together which is a compilation of show quotes from last week, my little intro to the Banish legacy here, where I was just picking on two things. If you would use the easel shirk and you wanna quickly explain in your words, Matt, what that is. I mean, it's basically a piece of, the impolite way would be to say if you took like a beer cooler and stuck rebar through it to break the thermal bridge on a concrete slab from inside to outside so that there's no transmission of thermal energy from inside to outside or loss of heat. That's essentially what it is. And it's used everywhere in Germany to build exterior balconies on, particularly on housing projects. But basically, we use it all over the place to eliminate the thermal bridge. Exactly. And while these two dots on top of the OR are suspicious of, again, being from Germany but if you Google for that, there is a American representative, there is a, you can get it here. That's what I'm trying to say. And while, again, it's not quite as bad as it would be in Boston. And we've been analyzing Gini Gang's recent high rise for Howard Hughes quite a bit. And we're really hoping but I happen to be on my way in and out to Germany, what you're doing in an hour at that time when I was still in the prairie and in the desert, Chicago was my hub in and out. So I saw the thing going up and I wish I would have seen that double line that indicates that thermal break and it wasn't. And some years later, we toured the office with the students and I pulled another German worked in the office aside because I didn't want to embarrass him in front of everyone and I said, please have I just not seen it? And he said, no, you're right, we have not used it. And imagine in Chicago, that's a radiator reverse, right? It's just really bad. So here in the tropics, the heat creeping and isn't quite as bad, isn't it cold, quite as detrimental but still bad enough, right? So that using your idea with opening the corridor, using the easel checks and then one more thing that I've been remembering in the last show that is very banishy that has to do with banish and here, what building component product is that? The jealousies I guess. Exactly, exactly. So you guys tell us more about the jealousies from your point of view. Yeah, I mean, this is sort of a very, I mean, I actually am probably more familiar with it from Hawaii, right? Because even our family house in Kailua has, you know, jealousies pretty much in every window opening, but it is a really nice way to open up a huge amount of free area in a window opening using just glass lamella basically that pivoted either at the middle point or at one of the edges to kind of open the thing up and obviously gives it a nice texture, right? When they're closed, you see this kind of shingling effect of the glass and then they just all sort of flip open and you get, you know, good natural ventilation through the building. Yeah, great product. And it's funny as you, you know, being sort of a hybrid between the two cultures, the German and the American by now, I come from the other end here in remembering it from my early years as a teenager and then starting into architecture that Gunter Behnisch was a big fan of the jealousies and all the early projects that's in there and I revisited our former capital, which I wish it would be still ours because it's much better than the one that Foster redid the Reichstag, the one in Bonn and I went there, the picture is on the bottom left and the top right is for me revisiting it in the spring, the spring. And then the top right, you see at its, well, you can't see really entrance because that's the point, there isn't really one entrance but that one side facing actually the city and not the river, the whole front is glass jealousy. And the main manufacturer companies called Glassball Hahn, they got this red rooster as their logo because Hahn is rooster. They all know this sort of energy efficiency paranoia that the German culture went through, you would think they had to get rid of the thing, right? Because a single pane glass jealousy that works here does not work in freaking cold, especially not now without Putin's gas increasing the less, right? This winter, first time. And so they did not give up on it today. I was so thrilled to see that they basically stubbornly, basically made it into a triple pane, argon-filled version. And here is a version that has no frame around it. So it's all glazed, it's iram and lozer, the frameless version of it. And I just thought, okay, if you just keep the same design that we previously seen, we open the corridor, your suggestion, we give it the easel shucks and we all clad it with the tire mow as they call that project. And then it's a compromise because people here in the summers, when I remember here and people tell me it's a little bit too hot. And in these few times they run their AC, at least they keep that pressures and, you know, expensively generated cold inside and it's not leaking outside again. But at the other month, most months, as you disorder correctly remind us, of the year you just have them open. And, you know, talking, I think this is all technology, right? And technology is one thing, but I think we wanna switch to talking about philosophy and that get us to the next slide. But I'm thinking even that, you were talking about the aesthetics of it, right? And rightly so and the beauty of it because you have a building that's all of a sudden biodynamic, right? Once it's closed, it's just like the bird that we're talking about before. It tucks down its feathers and looks way more compact. And when it starts to aerate itself and spreads out its feathers, it looks more feathery and airy. And that's what the building that would do aesthetically, right, as a result of its performance and not the other way around. Right, right. Yeah, no, I mean, I think this is for me, it's a really interesting topic. It always struck me that if, you know, we talk about kind of big developments in architecture, whether that was in, you know, structure or steel framing or there was always a kind of a corresponding architectural response, right? A new language that developed. And it seems to me like if we're talking about sustainable buildings, they should look different than the ones that we're used to seeing that maybe aren't as sustainable. And I'm not sure I've seen, I mean, I'm not here to claim that we've found that language or that solution in ourselves yet, but it's something that really preoccupies us, which is, are we really deciding how the building should look based on pure formal criteria or are we allowing the kind of the inherent nature of the building and the way it wants to perform to, in a sense, kind of inform the architecture, right? What does this actually, what does sustain, what should sustainable architecture really look like in some ways?  And I think what you're saying and this, you know, the picture that you threw in there at the top left, well, actually, you know, from here on, all the pictures are from you. And I think what you're talking about is different than obviously in this image. Well, you're not talking gadgety to begin with, but you're also talking in a sort of inherently integrated way, right? And not in a sort of an add-on and thrown-on way. And we will, I think the sort of we should ask, Matt, which we do now, if we could use this here in our other ongoing show, whenever, and that happens quite frequently, we get so tired about architecture and, you know, the getting stuck in it, we need to get out and we get, we have a show going on that's called the Mobile and the Immobilia. So it's about cars and architecture. And it's the same there, right? That now, while it's great to have electric cars more and more, but they just throw that technology into the same body styles, right? Versus like the, and like Musk is doing that more or less. Well, he designed the new or had the Mazda guy design it new from scratch, but then there were the Abterra guys who were actually ahead of him technologically. And they said, no, we need to make this car that actually, if you cover it all with in-pilved PV, it never has to see a gas station, not even an electric recharging run one. And that made that car having to totally rethink itself in its whole anatomy, right? And that's why for the general public, and that's why Musk playing it safe being the businessman said, no, I'm not going that extreme, right? That's gonna limit me in my economics, right? But they, and luckily these guys are back and you can now back on their feet, they went to do other things. So I think that's the same kind of thing. And the other comparison you make here between the gadgets and the Gestalt, right? Yeah, and I mean, obviously, you know, no matter how many green technologies you bolt onto a Hummer, the core problem still persists, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think the other image here kind of a, I provoke you with this about where you come from. So you're, the way we get you here is also, and not also, but mainly through Bundit that you went to school with and you both went to MIT and got your master's from there. And then you worked for several, you know, offices. And one of them was Rafael Vignoli here, right? And Vignoli, we've been with emerging generation always recently looking into skinny towers. But again, skinny towers in Honolulu for a different reason because the bamboo grove being an inspiration or a raw model, right? You see the bamboo plants growing just as close to each other as they need to be to shade each other, but they are as spaced out as they still get sun, rain and wind and stuff like that. And so that way, you know, a skinny tower in the tropics having a small footprint allows you to be aerated from all sides. So we came from a sort of a tropical performative angle to be interested in skinny towers while Vignoli came from a, if I'm not mistaken, a more formal approach, right? And then there's this TikTok lady out there a TikTok teenager who rants about it and she hates it and goes up against it. And of course, there's unfortunate things as lawsuits and, you know, liability issues in the buildings. And we don't want to, you know, I think he's already devastated enough as this picture I pulled from the web shows, right? But what I wanted to throw out is again, your own experience as a transition from probably the more formal to the more performative. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of like, as you and I spoke about before the show, you know, we are, certainly I was very much brought up in the kind of formal slash conceptual kind of school of architecture, which is very much a heritage of modernism, right? The notion that you could, the idea that we could build the same building or build anything anywhere and only use, you know, kind of theoretical, formal kind of criteria to make judgments. It's a very limiting frame with which to analyze architecture, but it was the dominant one at the time. And I think, you know, certainly, I mean, I worked at Raphael's office for almost nine years and I learned so much there, right? About so many things. But I think as I kind of came towards the end of my time there, there was something, you know, the time was changing too and the culture was changing and, you know, these issues of, you know, the ethics around what we're building and why we build a certain way, we're becoming much more prevalent. And so I think I was looking for a different way to think about architecture and these different, in a different filter through which to analyze it or critique it or in fact, design it. And that kind of, you know, it ultimately kind of led to where I am today and have been for the last 17 years, I guess, but that, you know, we're all products of where we came from and our experiences. And, you know, like I said, the problem is in a way, there's so much basic knowledge you have to accumulate as an architect, right? Just how you make anything stand up and work before you even can begin to refine it and think about it in kind of more progressive terms. Yeah, it's a challenge. Yeah, and although we only have two minutes left, let's get the next slide up there because that's, I think, perfectly fitting there. And before the show, I was like, I think overly exaggerating and saying, you know, you guys are trying the actions of ego and you said, well, one would wish there would be such a thing, but that's probably then, you know, the topic, the title of the show is human humane, that's probably against human nature. So you need to have certain amount of ego, but you need to keep it, I think, you know, confined within, you know. And so I, you know, when this is your firm, this is your colleagues. And as I was sharing last time, when I wanted to get Martin Haas to speak, when I was still in the prairie and I called the office, it was Utah picking up the telephone. And I found out, yeah, so I found out there is no such thing as a secretary because why would you want a secretary while everyone can be the secretary for a week? Right?  You know, we don't even have, we don't have personal emails in the office. There's only project emails. So, you know, if we're doing a project, say at, I don't know, Harvard University, it's like Harvard at banish.com and everybody's email software points to that address. So everybody sees every email that gets sent to the office or gets sent out. And the reasoning is very simple is that you can't have a non-hierarchical organization if everybody doesn't have the same information, right? Information as power is a dangerous thing. I think that now, I don't think it has, but it is the perfect closing note for today. And obviously, since we only made it through three slides and we have 50 degrees, so this makes for many more shows that we look much forward to, Matt. Thanks for kicking this off. Have a safe flight now in an hour. And have you back exactly in a week. And until then, you all stay very democratically with people and planet friendly.

This is my problem. Not yours. Well, you're coming with us now But I suppose you're free to do as you please. Oh She's got that kind of attitude Hey, she's got a path to action chat She can summon a townsperson. She has charm to aid in battle Really she can charm town people.  This is Uh, how am I liking this game? I'm liking it a lot. It's actually pretty good. I am ready So you can summon lion dance I gotta see this The lion down. She just buffs somebody. Okay. She gave her attack buff She'll be mine. All right, dude. Now you got some skills All right I mean you got some weapons. Did I get him a new sword?

All right, let's do a summon of linde just to hit everybody Or hit him at least All right, we're gonna donate BP to Letting my arrow fly in true letting it do that We're gonna summon the sand lizardman And uh, he didn't do as much damage as I thought he would. Ooh, she got wrecked All right, you're gonna have to get a healing grope because you just got half your health taken away The battle is truly joy um All right, he's got three BP. Let's pop them And we're gonna go with uh spearhead Level slash There we go.  All right I'm ready I know you guys a little baby dagger Moonlight waltz Oh, he's weak to that to do what to do what to do. I know Thank you. Thank you. Aw. He's broke. I was just Shall be mine Maha spearhead I shall pierce you through He's dead With each battle I grow strong Yeah, she needs some armor too Okay, so let's get this treasure healing grumpy Grumpy Uh, boy, that's been out. Great. Nope. It is grumpy. I am ready All right ready. I am born him So that's the guy vulnerable to cold Let's see how moonlight waltz doesn't him He's vulnerable. I mean he's weak to that Letting my arrow fly in true That was good Well, might as well I don't pop it now cut you down Whoa It's a combo good combo Good combo Let's go up here. I kind of know how to beat him now. I'm ready. Let's give it a hand at this time I think her summon is gonna wreck these guys coming if thou dare Yeah Oh How about you? This won't kill him, but it'll do okay. Oh, I never mind. I thought I'd All these years Turn the volume down a little bit Even though I turn it down the game. It doesn't seem to take It's like I go into the settings, right? I'm looking at my meters on obs is like they're all the same Like I go into the uh into the settings here going to the audio I turn them like way down But they're exactly the same The message speed. Oh quick. I didn't see that It like does nothing if I turn it all the way up. I don't even want to know what happens Anyway, I just turned it down on obs because My va the other day was this the game sounds were pretty freaking loud Oh, it's going this way Shadow so I don't know what soul stones do what do What do soul stones do that a spell? Ah So that's fire damage. Okay And the nuts increase physical attack Magic attack Got it. Oh here. This way first I love the lighting in this game. It's beautiful Really really beautiful. The voices are so much louder Golly. Okay. I got to turn the voices down though. Um As this Didn't break everybody but Came close Oh, he's got an attack buff Assassin bug, huh Oh, we're capturing you We are capturing you I have to take a break soon After this fight. We'll take our first break of the day Knocked ah Okay, he's weak now. Definitely should be able to capture him Hey, you're coming with me All right, who would get rid of? Oh wait, I have I got room.

Nice little randomizer for you man. Alright, my first deal with the Raptors was in Japan, Kev says, we were on the 25th floor with the building, oh my God, that is wild. I'd be terrified if I was like that high. Yeah, I think the biggest I've ever felt was 2018 I think? The 2018 earthquake? I think that one was like a six point something. 2018 earthquake. Sorry, no, sorry. It was a 7.1, that's, wow. Actually, I felt a 7.0, that was crazy. I didn't realize it was that much actually. That is right, it was like, it was like on like, right after 4th of July, it was like July 5th of July 6th. Yeah, I thought it was like a 6.8 at the time, maybe I was wrong, yeah, so it happened July 6th. I remember it was in the afternoon dude, it was like, I don't even know, I think it was like four or five or something like that? No, no, no, it was like seven actually, seven or eight because we were just gonna go to this like six to six night market. I remember I stopped at my parents' house with my wife and my in-laws cause my wife needed a change at the time while we were living there. And I remember she went into the room, changed my in-laws and my parents were outside. My mom might still have the ring camera but like they were outside in the driveway and my dad and mom at the time had an RV. And I just remember I was in the, I was kind of inside the house and outside the house in the door. I just remember the RV started swaying and everything started moving. I just heard my wife yell and I was like, oh snap, is that our earthquake? I just remember my parents and my in-laws were just outside on the wall of the house like, whoa. And my wife screaming and I actually froze and I didn't even go to her, but I'm like technically like, I was like, she was good cause she was like under like a, you know, that was tight like kind of either go on the table or go under like a door opening. But I remember she was upset cause I didn't run to her. But I was like, I was kind of in shock. But yeah, I remember that one was pretty significant that I felt through and trade with the close guys. And then the one that happened when I was like, I think I was like a freshman in high school, that one happened during the summer. I remember we were in class and all of a sudden it just started swaying really hard cause that one was the epicenter was closer to us. And I just remember all of us like looked at each other and then we ducked right under the school, like right under the tables. It was pretty wild. Yeah, that's a pretty scary thing, man. Honestly, like I said, I don't think people realize how scary it is until you go through it. And it doesn't matter the magnitude, man, dude, it's just something you normally don't feel, especially if you're not used to it. Well, like I said, anytime it does happen, even though we know here living in California, it's like gonna happen a lot, more often than other states and countries, but still it's just pretty wild to experience. All right, so we're getting a whole master case, guys. So we'll decide which inner we're gonna use for this break. One, two, three for the left, four, five, six for the right. And then we'll decide which box is right after. Four, one, two, three, four, five, six. So I've been hearing some crazy, like conspiracy rumors about this eclipse that it's, I guess I was reading online. I mean, I didn't really read, I guess I was scrolling through Twitter, but people were saying that like, the US is gonna like launch some rockets or something. I don't know. What do you guys know about that? And like everybody's preparing for this, like it's the end of the world. One, two, three for the left, four, five, six for the right. Five, one, two, three, four, five, six. Yeah, here in Southern California, I mean, we're gonna get an eclipse, but I don't think it's gonna be as a full-on. It's full, a full-on like eclipse, solar eclipse compared to like other states. I think you guys over there, like in New York area, right, are gonna get like a full-on covered moon, sun, kind of deal. Yeah, I see this one guy, I see it was like a real, like some guy was like preparing for like no power, no food, no this, and I'm just like, what the hell's going on here? I think in California, they're only getting like 51%. Sorry, 90%. Well, that's pretty close. Who's getting 100% though? Is that where you're at Rex? Are you getting 100%? I just didn't see a lot of funny means of like, I can't wait to stare into the solar eclipse so I can follow for disability for the rest of my life. I was just like, dude, savages, bro. Savages. It's gonna be 90% New Jersey, but try to try to Western from the way to rest in New York to see it, hold it, see it in totality. That's cool, man. Yeah, I mean, that hardly ever happens, right? So, might as well experience that for your own two eyes. Well, we're all still living.  In your area. So it's Indianapolis, Cleveland, Buffalo, and the one on that top. Interesting. Really? So it's more like because, yeah, I heard people were gonna run out of gas. And I guess that makes sense. I don't know. I mean, people are prepared for like, I guess it's more like, yeah, these small towns or small cities potentially compared to other bigger cities are gonna get an influx of tourism, right? More than others. So it's like, if you're in those areas of like full totality then it's like, I guess, yeah, you're right.   I mean, that's what I'm saying. Like, I'm coverage is saying. You might as well go drive up and check it out. So most people are gonna be, you kinda be like Adam, right?  Why not? Here we go, guys. Oh, sorry, forgot to fix my focus. Yeah, after filling up the gas tank, right? Just to be safe. Derrick Lively, that's to 125 Neutron. So remember guys, honestly, if I remember correctly, revolution in the eight box case maybe gives you an autograph every other box on average. But you're really kinda just looking for the rookie stuff and obviously the like color waves, like the fractal and stuff like that.  Here, thunder. Is that case on Wallace? It is. Very nice to 99. Thunder, he's actually a great player. Love that, dude. That is true, 90% is close, right? It's like eh, that's close enough. And there we go, autographing first box, Magic Johnson for the Lakers. Lakers. And I don't know if I showed it again, but Lakers, that's gonna go to Brian Laszlo Mojo. Yeah, I think that's like, feels like dawn for like however long it is, right? Like 90 seconds, two minutes, however long it is, like to go around. Definitely record that stuff, Adam. I mean, I'm sure I'll see a lot of videos online, but obviously look at it yourself or something.  Fractal. Down to George. And woo, this looks really nice. Out of 99 Cosmic Yolkich for the Nuggets when at Justin. There's a Super Nova Wemby, and look at that, another autograph. Gigi Jackson for the Grizzlies going to Brian. Brian, you're having a killer break, bro. And we got Kalkoosma, number to 75 Sunbursts. And if I remember correctly, these were kind of like case hits as well. I'm correct, I don't remember too much besides the Galactics, but I think so. I don't know, I actually didn't pay attention. No, it's a sticker. I remember Trey Sport CC is that Revolution turned to stickers after the 2018, I think, or 2019 year. So I don't know. I mean, maybe there's some people that are on card, but I feel like it's been sticker ever since then. But if they did bring some on cards back, it'd be pretty awesome. So it's been a while since they did that. Some pretty nice stuff here, though, guys, to start us off. Let me, I'm gonna top load all the numbered stuff, though. That way, make sure that that's all protected nicely. What time is that supposed to hit for you guys, Adam? Is it an early thing for you guys, or is it an afternoon thing? I don't even know what time it's gonna hit LA here. I just know it's only like 50-something percent, I think, or something like that. I mean, I don't think last time that happened, I looked into it, but, I mean, is it really, really that bad for your eyes, in that sense? Like, how long do you have to look at it to have some really bad eye damage? Or at least, like, what do the studies say? Because, you know, a lot of people are gonna do it, but...  So, Adam, I think it's just that if you regularly set the sun, it's too bright and you automatically look away, and that can really damage the retinas and the rest is, yeah, damage the burn-off on your retinas in six seconds. I mean, I don't wanna try it, but... Oh, God, okay, that makes sense then, Adam. So, yeah, okay, so, yeah, regularly, if you normally try to set the sun, you're just like, and right, I've done it before.  I'll just be like, trying to keep my eyes open as much as possible, but because with the eclipse, yeah, it might not have the same instinct, and yeah, you started it a little too long. I guess that's, yeah. We've all done it before, right, guys? I mean, we've all started the sun out. I mean, I know I haven't, but I don't think I did it for that long. I just remember that it was one time I was a kid. I just remember just fighting it, saying effort. I'm gonna try it. Here we go, guys. Since I like to speak with someone. Yeah, what a great friend. They'll never know that you might have saved their eyes. Lebron Shockwave, Walker, there's a Walsh, and there's a Jalen Pickett out of 149. What specific sunglasses do you need for this? They're probably making a killing for this eclipse this year. If you like, don't have one, obviously. Oliver Maxine's Prosper 250, did not have an auto. All right, last box here, guys. Franz Wagner, there we go, Magic. And it's a rookie, it's Anthony Black Vortex. And that's gonna be to 99 Cosmic. We got a Dyke lift off here. Ooh, little teaser that with Calvin Johnson on a 99 Cosmic. There's a Brandon Miller, Lakers there, Anthony Davis. We got a Jarrais Walker. Oh, they kinda look like the 3D glass ones, yeah. Wow, that's awesome. Alrighty, guys. Well, hey, we hit two autographs here. Like I said, if I remember correctly, the way Revolution was always set up is on average. It's like one every other box, so usually four in a case. So if we hit two, there could be two of them still hiding over there, on average. We did hit that other variation, I feel like, is kind of a shorter print card, primetime performers, but we did not hit a Galactic yet. So if it's not on those last four, it's definitely gonna be in the second half of the case over there on the other side. But yeah, some nice numbered cards here. Obviously we got one Wemby insert. And like I said, two autos there. But yeah, guys, actually, hold on. Speaking of that, Gigi Jackson actually is on card. So maybe some players are on card. I just noticed that right now. Wow, that's awesome. If they're starting to do on card revolution cards again, that's sweet. I hate that they took that away. So yeah, that's actually on card. This is a sticker. Very nice though, sweet. So there you go, guys. Revolution basketball number one in the books. Appreciate you guys. Jaspyscasebricks.com.


Hi, beautiful. I always get asked from people, what size curling iron you need? I wanna help you today so you don't waste your money on a curling iron that doesn't work for your hair type. First, we got our one and a fourth inch barrel. This is gonna have that kind of glamorous wave, and it's good for shorter hair, maybe have shoulder length or a little longer. Then we got our one and a half inch barrel. This is great for big bouncy, body full curls, and it's great for longer hair. And then we got our one inch barrel. This one is great for that classic, kind of tighter curl, and it's great for any hair length, but if your hair's very short, maybe try something like this. Otherwise, you won't exactly see too much definition if you use a bigger barrel. It all depends on how lived in versus how styled you want your hair to look. The more lived in, you wanna go with the bigger barrel. The less lived in, you wanna go with this smaller barrel. I hope that helps you figure out what size curling iron to get. And obviously, if the curling iron you find doesn't fit at these exact sizes, then go with something similar to the size I recommend.

Hello and welcome to the session in which you would look at the perpetual inventory system and a periodic inventory system and a series of transaction illustrating the difference between those two inventory system. And at the end of the recording, we would look at how to compute cost of goods sold under both system. This topic is covered in intermediate accounting and it's covered on the CPA exam very heavily. Whether you are an accounting student or a CPA candidate, I strongly suggest you take a look at my website, farhatlectures.com. I don't replace your CPA review course. Most likely you are taking a course. I am a useful addition. You can add me to your CPA review course. I explain the material differently than your CPA review course. I go a little bit more in depth than your CPA review course. I go over the material slower than your CPA review course. If you can understand the material better, it will help you with your CPA review course and you will add 10 to 15 points to your CPA exam score. Your risk is one month of subscription. You can give me a try. See if you like it. It's working. You keep it. If it's not, you cancel. Your potential gain is passing the exam. If not for anything, take a look at my website to find out how well or not well your university is doing on the CPA exam. I do have resources, multiple choice through false lectures for other courses such as advanced accounting, managerial accounting, governmental accounting, taxation, so on and so forth. My supplemental CPA review courses are aligned with your becker, Wiley, Roger, Gleam. So it's very easy to go back and forth between my resources and your CPA review course. If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so. Take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation. Like this recording. Share it with other. Connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. The best way to illustrate the concept of perpetual and periodic inventory system is to actually look at an actual example. So we're going to go through a series of journal entries. Starting with what's giving, beginning inventory was 110. This is what we have to start with. There's no entry. The inventory already existed when we opened the store at the beginning of the month or at the beginning of the period. Then we purchased on account $600,000 with the terms three slash 10 and 30. Simply put, we made a purchase. We purchased more merchandise. We're in the business of soft drinks. Well, now we need to record this. We're going to debit under the perpetual inventory system. We will debit inventory under the periodic inventory system. We debit purchases. So hopefully you'd remember that under inventory, perpetual is continuously updating your inventory. Therefore, you debit inventory automatically. Then we credit accounts payable because we purchased them on account and they're giving us 10 days to pay and we get 3% if we do pay within 10 days. ABC Adam beverage company paid 15,000 for freight charges for freight charges. Well, what's going to happen is under the perpetual inventory system freight charges freight in is part of your inventory. Therefore, we're going to debit inventory for 15,000. We paid cash. We're going to credit cash for 15,000 under the periodic inventory system. Actually, we're going to keep track of freight separately. Therefore, we debit freight 15,000. We credit cash 15,000. Now eventually the freight will be part of the whole picture part of the inventory and part of cost of goods sold. But for now, we keep track of it separately. Merchandise with the cost of 10,000 will return to the suppliers for credit. We had a purchase return. Well, the purchase return is the opposite of a purchase. When we purchase, we debit inventory credit accounts payable. When we do a purchase return, we reverse this. We credited inventory and we debit accounts payable. We debit accounts payable. We reduce accounts payable and we reduce our inventory. That's the return. Because we return the merchandise from a periodic. We don't have inventory. Remember, it's also the opposite of a purchase. Therefore, we debit accounts payable credit purchase return. So notice here we have another account under the periodic purchase return. We have an account called freight and we have an account called purchases and all these accounts under the perpetual inventory system. They're all, they all go under inventory because inventory is being updated constantly. All purchases on account were paid within the discount period. Now we started, we purchase $600,000. Then we returned $10,000. What's left is $590,000. Well, we're going to pay within the discount period. Therefore, we're going to get 3% off. So we're going to multiply this by 0.97. So if we multiply it by 0.97, it means we're going to pay 97% 97% of the bill, or we can say 590 times 3% will give us 17,700, which is the discount. So under the perpetual inventory system, we are going to credit cash $572,300, which is again, we're paying 97% of the bill. We're going to debit accounts payable for the full amount, which is $590,000. Accounts payable was $600,000, but we did return $10,000 of it. Under the periodic inventory system, the cash is the same. We have to pay $572,300. For the $17,700 for the discount, we're going to have an account called a purchase discount. Again, more accounts. So notice the different accounts that we have for the periodic. So I'm going to highlight them. Purchase discount, purchase return, freight in, purchases. Notice versus inventory, inventory, inventory, inventory. Okay. So under the perpetual, the inventory is being updated constantly. Sales totaled $800,000 and the cost of sales was $532,300. So we debited, what we do is we debit account receivable, credit sales revenue, debit cost of goods sold credit inventory. Under the periodic inventory system, we only record the sale. We have no cost of goods sold. We don't record cost of goods sold. Now, where did the cost of goods sold came from here? Well, we're going to see when we do 50 life or we keep track of the perpetual inventory system continuously. This is what we'll do next and the next session, but for now it's giving to us. At the end of the period, the company will have to counter inventory and they said remaining on hand was 170, inventory remaining on hand. Now, for the perpetual inventory system, they don't have to do anything. Why not? Because this number 170 was already being tracked in cost of goods sold was already being tracked as we make purchases and sale. Because remember inventory was constantly being tracked. And if you want to, you can take beginning inventory, then add 15, reduce it by 10, reduce it by 17,700. And you're going to get to 530, I'm sorry, you're going to get to 170. Okay, so it's being tracked. I'm sorry, ending inventory, yes, it's being tracked 170. Cost of goods sold, cost of goods sold was also being tracked. And again, for now, we're going to ignore it. So how do we compute cost of goods sold for the periodic inventory system? Well, cost of goods sold, what did we learn about cost of goods sold? We said, let me show you first show you the formula. We said beginning inventory, which we started with 110 beginning inventory was giving to us plus purchases plus freight in this is part of the cost of the inventory minus return minus $10 minus the discount 17,700 because we got a discount pain early. Our cost of inventory or I'm sorry, all goods available for sale were 702,300. Then we deduct ending inventory, and we're going to come up to 532,300, which is the same as 532,300. Now let me show you in a journal entry, how do we do this? First, we're going to have to do what we're going to have to remove beginning inventory because remember beginning inventory was giving to us that beginning inventory has to be gone. Therefore we credit beginning inventory. We credit purchases. Purchases is a temporary account. We credit freight in because freight in is also a temporary account will have to be closed. All these will have to be close to cost of goods sold. Then we debit inventory 170,000 because we counted the inventory and this is how much inventory we have. So basically we're getting root of the beginning to establish the ending. Then we have to get rid of purchase return, which is we debit purchase return. We have to get rid of purchase discount. We debit purchase discount. And what happened here? If you net all these out, what's missing is a cost of goods sold of 532,300. So simply put cost of goods sold, it's a plug.  It's very important that you understand this formula and it's also important to understand the journal entry. In the next session, we'll focus on FIFO, LIFO, weighted average and specific method shows show you how we keep track of inventory, keeping track of the inventory cost flow.  I don't replace your CPA review course. I am a useful addition. Give me a chance. It's only one month. Try it. You like it. You keep it. You don't. That's your maximum loss. You are investing in your future. It's worth to throw everything on the CPA exam. It's worth to invest in your education. Good luck. Study hard. The CPA exam is worth it and stay safe.


Megalithic creations often carved from a single piece of stone or dry build constructed out of impossibly huge stones, and recently we have touched upon the more impressive stone sites to be found, such as the horseshoe-shaped piece of granite, decided upon by someone, or something, as the base rock for what many perceive to be the most impressive artistic wonder on Earth. A structure named after a mountain, we also suspect, has witnessed extreme excavation work in the past, as did the Giza Plateau. Indeed, although little known, acres of solid natural stone were excavated from the Giza Plateau as the foundation bed for the most incredibly elaborate pyramid found anywhere. Who could have accomplished such gargantuan tasks over 3,000 years ago? But I digress. Our topic of this video is a wonderful gem hidden upon our Earth, in fact, the largest and seemingly most impressive of them all. So impressive, in fact, a number of individuals, specialists, tasked with the investigation of this astonishing structure and the construction thereof. Some for over 12 years of extensive investigation have been resigned to the conclusion alien influences could have only been responsible for the completion of the structure at such an ancient time in our history. Known as the Lost City of Angkor, this due to its extended duration hidden beneath several thousand highly established tree roots. It was once the capital city of the Khmer Empire, which flourished from approximately the 9th to 15th centuries. However, a similar theory can be applied regarding the Khmer Empire's success to the ancient Egyptian civilization's notorious longevity. It is, of course, a possibility that we have covered regarding Giza before, that these ancient cultures partook at probably the earliest form of graffiti, presumably ordered by the current rulers, to add their own deity depictions to these already ancient and astonishing structures. It would be a logical decision for a successful leader of an ancient group of people, namely self-declared Hindu monarch, Jayavarman II, who also declared himself a universal monarch and a god-king, to make the decision to claim such mastery as their own creation. When visitors entered the area, they would immediately assume that your group had constructed this awe-inspiring temple, undoubtedly intimidating and additionally giving incredible security to your people, as the temple even possessed an impressive moat, an instant advantage over all surrounding tribes. Not hewn from a single rock, but created using no less impressive techniques, undoubtedly requiring the same perfection in artistic ability as Kailash Temple.  These stones were then individually and perfectly carved into the astonishing wonder we see before us today. As the blocks were pre-laid, this means whoever the sculptors were had only one chance to get the carvings right, a feat they seemingly accomplished. Who built the lost city of Angkor? Kailash? The pyramids? Ballback? Etc. Etc. The list of utterly perplexing sites grows every day, but thankfully, so does our knowledge. How did a lost global civilization once cut solid stone with such ease and precision? Unimaginably large megalithic structures, laser-like cut stones, utilized within the baffling, polygonal masonry, not to mention the mysteries surrounding the construction of the Great Pyramids. Many mysterious drilled stone cores can be found through Algeza. These enigmatic tool marks can also be found at the incredibly ancient dolmen of Valkonsky in Russia, exposing the capabilities and clear technological prowess that this lost civilization, who we feel were possibly experiencing an ice age, had left in order to survive its fallout. Yet I digress. Discovered within Austria, we were initially presented with just these three images, two of the exterior, which, if one looks closely, not only displays the porthole of a hidden chamber hidden upon the side of a solid rock face, but that the surrounding rocks had also been cut and finished to an incredibly high standard, somewhere in the very distant past. This indicated to us that this chamber that is not only reminiscent of the hypogem in Malta, with the addition of the stone within the circular chamber, which we cannot avoid feeling, could have some form of connection to resonance creation, with erosion indicative of a sight with an age similar to Cappadocia's ruins, but later revealed to have been, as we expected, but one chamber, in a maze akin to that of the underground city of Derinkuyu. Hidden within an Austrian book of antiquities, we discover a series of fortunately mapped solid stone cut chambers, which litter this enormous chunk of exposed bedrock. Clearly an astonishing prehistoric sight, one cut by an incredibly capable, and we feel, clearly technologically advanced civilization. For why would a civilization with simple, primitive tools, such as those made of blunt or brittle stones, or soft malleable metals, such as that of copper, go to such extremes in the creation of a maze of hidden chambers? Each not only finished to an incredibly precise degree, but to have worked stones into unnatural shapes outside of these chambers, many serving no essential function as far as we can identify. Who created this prehistoric sight found within the landscape of Austria? How old are the chambers? What technology or tools were utilized in the creation of such a magnificent ancient ruin, or indeed that of the Valkonsky Dolmen, along with the many similarly drilled cores and their stone blocks found throughout Giza? Do all these pieces of evidence indicate the past existence of a lost civilization, one who possessed advanced stone cutting technology? We find such possibilities highly compelling. If one were to mention the incredible feats of engineering undertaken by our now lost ancient ancestors, in particular, gigantic walls, some may lean towards the impressive sheer enormity of the megalithic stones within the Wall of Gornaya Shoria. Or more commonly, the Great Wall of China is the more popular choice, or the more obscure, lesser known Great Wall of India. Undoubtedly, the Great Wall of China was a feat of monstrous proportions, having been built to such a scale it's visible from space. Yet what many more are unaware of is an ancient kingdom once located in southwestern Nigeria. Known as the Walls of Benin, they dwarf the Walls of China, a series of defensively constructed earthworks called Aya in Edo. They consist of 9.3 miles of inner-city walls and an estimated 9,900 miles of outer wall. The walls of Benin City were described as, quote, the world's largest earthwork carried out prior to the mechanical era, end quote, by the Guinness Book of Records. The Benin City Walls have been known of by Westerners since around the 1500s. Portuguese explorer Duarte Pacheco Pereira briefly described the walls during his travels. Another description was given around 1600 by the Dutch explorer Deerik Reiders. Reiders' account of the walls is as follows, quote, at the gate where I entered on horseback, I saw very high, very thick walls of earth with a very deep broad ditch around. They were dry and full of high trees. Who built these walls? Or indeed, how did they accomplish such a mind-boggling feat? Traditional accounts suggested that assuming a 10-hour workday with a labor force of some 5,000 men, it could have been completed within just 97 days. However, these estimates have been criticized over the years in many ways, one in particular being a lack of account for the time it would have taken to extract earth from ever-deepening holes. Yet regardless of these discrepancies in opinion, regarding the challenge in its creation, or indeed their age or origin, we find these walls highly compelling.


The narcissist targeted and chose you as their victim. They chose you because you may have a very small circle of friends or you may not associate yourself with many people. You may not have much support from family or friends. You may be an empathic, understanding and forgiving person. You may have the tendency to overlook red flags and give people chance after chance. From the moment they became aware of you, they studied everything you do, everything you say, everyone you talk to and anything you are planning for the future. They study everything that is significant in your life. They want to learn anything and everything about you and your life so that they can later use it against you. Social media is one of the narcissist's favorite tools for doing this. New studies have shown that people who are more narcissistic are more likely to be compulsive Facebook users. So they will go on to your profile and study all of your friends, likes, hobbies and interests. They will find out where you are working. They will study your photographs to see what kind of places you go to. They will even look through your older photos and scroll down to the bottom of your timeline to study your past. I remember my ex-narcist was very eager to know about my childhood, growing up into being a teenager. They will take note of everything they see on your profile and they will take note of everything you say to them. As time goes by, it will appear as though they know more about your past than you do. This then gives them the ability to rewrite the past and make you question whether or not something actually happened. They are always plotting against you. They will either be causing drama and chaos in the present bringing up events from the past or plotting and scheming for the future. But even when they are causing drama and chaos in the present it's always based on something that happened in the past or whatever it is they are fearing that might develop in the future.  I think it's important that victims are aware of this.  The methods they use are very similar to that of a serial killer or child molester. Covert narcissists tend to be more impulsive but almost everything the covert narcissist does is calculated and premeditated. They will groom you which is also known as conditioning, programming or training. They will love bomb you as a reward for your good behaviour.  They will then devalue you when you don't do what they want.  For more information on this watch my series of videos on the narcissist harassing and stalking you and all of their intense studying of your past, present and potential future isn't done by just one person. They will often recruit groups of other narcissistic people known as fly monkeys, apaths or enablers. Some of the fly monkeys get stuck in this social validation loop of trying to please the narcissist and each other. It becomes an addiction and an obsession. I believe that they use their abusive and manipulative nature to regulate their own self-worth and self-esteem. It releases dopamine within their brains which gives them a sense of reward and this soon becomes their drug of choice.  For more information on these personalities please watch my video on the fly monkeys on the smear campaign. You might find it cute at first that they are studying and stalking you. I've heard some people say that they have found it flattering but this is actually a very serious and dangerous situation which often ends with somebody dying. You see, all serial killers and child molesters are narcissists and at a point in their lives they were probably no different than your abuser. The only difference now is that they have killed someone and not much has to change for that to happen. During the devaluation phase they abuse you more and more to the point where it no longer satisfies them. At the discard phase they could potentially kill their victims or nudge them to suicide. This is more common than people think. Their addiction to abuse and manipulate you is so strong that they do not know when to stop. It becomes normalised over time and is considered extreme and uncivilised at the beginning soon becomes second nature by the end. They do not feel responsible for your feelings, actions, choices, wants, needs, wellbeing, ultimate destiny even though they do everything they can to have a negative impact on these parts of your life. Narcists believe that your life is theirs and they should be in control of it. They see you as an object or an extension of them so your body, mind and soul is theirs. They want to control your thoughts where you go, what you do your self-worth, your self-esteem and self-belief they want to induce endless stress, anxiety and paranoia within you they will take control of your body, mind and soul because they believe it is theirs but they will not control your life to improve it they will control only to destroy every aspect of your body, mind and soul and every part of your life they are envious of your empathic qualities your positive vibe, your self-worth and self-esteem from the devaluation phase onwards their intense feelings of envy will cause them to take everything from you they will dig a hole and put you in it once they see you trying to climb out of that hole suddenly every little thing you do is criticized and put down you cannot think, speak or do anything with your life without provoking their narcissistic rage and a narcissistic injury suddenly any little thing you do for yourself triggers them to attack this is what the narcissist will do to you your body, mind, soul and your life the narcissist is a coercive manipulator a sadistic emotional predator an abuser and a stalker everything no self-respecting person with self-worth whatever want in their lives and that is why they spend so much time devaluing us to make us believe that they are all that we deserve I'm sure you are wondering don't they feel stupid or embarrassed doing all of these weird things they spend years of their life practicing to be skilled actors and illusionists it's like they think they are getting paid for it it's not benefiting anyone in any way not even them at best it gives them a few seconds of supply and then they go back to how they usually feel a normal emotionally healthy person would feel so dumb and ashamed for practicing these types of behaviors and that is how you know that they are not normal emotionally healthy people they desire for you to confide in them at all times so that they can learn more about you but they don't want to help you you have triggered their inferiority complex and caused a narcissistic injury they literally want you to die right now they don't want you to progress, be happy or succeed at anything in life but in their worst case scenario if you are going to progress or be happy you should be with them of course with them you're going to be progressing at the lowest rate imaginable and you will never be truly happy they will control everything and it will never be about what you want they are self-absorbed so it will just revolve around whatever they want but the narcissist cannot stand for you to have happiness or progression with someone that doesn't include them they are very jealous they feel as though someone or something is taking you away from them you are the property of the narcissist you do not do anything with anyone else you belong to them this is how they see you like an object or like a toy that only their fly monkeys or they can use I have noticed that after studying you the narcissist will not only mimic you but they will mimic everything that relates to you and everything that appeals to your own ideals they want to be noticed they want to be heard you are being noticed and heard so they mimic you and everything that you are interested in I've had narc exes that would change the whole look within make up and personality they would take on the role of a celebrity I liked or if I saw someone on TV I was attracted to they think they can change their looks make up and suddenly they are a different person they hate their true selves so they try to appeal to your own ideals they will do anything to be noticed by you anything to relate to whatever it is that you are interested in they are desperate for attention validation and approval their purpose in life is to obtain supply from you so don't take anything they do personally it is nothing more than an attempt to control you and obtain supply there often appears to be no rhyme or reason with the narcissist we expect what they are doing or saying to have something personal to do with us but sometimes it has nothing to do with us the narcissist is fighting an endless battle within their own minds they often take it out on the people closest to them or good people who just take it and move on with their day the narcissist also loves the vulnerable or disabled mentally ill person as a victim this type of person is easy to take advantage of I remember when I was suffering mentally and I attempted suicide I attracted a lot of these sick twisted people normal people would never abuse or manipulate someone who is suffering mentally especially if they are suicidal we have empathy and consideration for these types of people the narcissist gets excited by the mentally ill or disabled and it makes someone to abuse them even more just to see how badly they can damage them so that they can feel better about themselves the narcissist hates to see any form of progression in their victim they hate any form of innocence this is all an assault to the narcissist ego and it triggers their abusive and manipulative nature so just know they will study your past, present and potential future it is their obsession their new found purpose in life but also know that it isn't going to benefit them in any way they are wasting their own time and their own lives they are too busy dwelling in the past or feeling anxious about the future to ever focus on the present you are who you are because you put the work in you overcame the struggles and setbacks of dangerous envious narcissists they do not want to see you progress or succeed in any way well if the narcissist could see you now they will be so mad you don't even have to do anything and they are mad but now that you are healing and progressing in your life it is killing them inside and the fact that you feel compassion and have no desire to take revenge on the narcissist who did everything they could to destroy you that just winds them up even more that just makes them even more mad because it shows them how much of a better person you are than them they basically feel like shit right now because they tried everything they studied your entire past, present and potential future they recruited all of their fly monkeys and created a smear campaign for what? what have they accomplished from doing all of that? nothing because you are still healing and recovering and that just proves how useless and pathetic these people really are because the one thing they spend all of their days practicing and crafting they can't even get that right but that's their problem, not yours you should feel no responsibility for how they feel if they cannot appreciate your success and be happy for you there is clearly something wrong with them you are a reminder of where they have failed in their lives and I'm not just talking about material things success begins with a mindset a mindset they can never have because all they do is hate and envy instead of appreciating
