Our
lack
of
knowledge
access
makes
us
more
powerful
and
it
makes
us
more
imaginative
about
the
way
that
we
can
implement
this
in
new
ways.
I'm
not
reinventing
anything,
I'm
taking
novel
approaches,
wrapping
them
up
and
then
I'm
going
to
do
them
faster
and
better
than
other
competitors
can
do
it's
as
simple
as
that
when
we
bring
in
the
open
source
technology
and
we
build
an
ecological
materials,
that's
when
you
start
actually
making
change,
but
it
has
to
be
the
visual
of
people
it
has
to
be.
A
This
is
another
factory:
that's
a
building
in
modularity
as
well.
Now
these
guys
build
all
their
homes
boom
boom,
all
big,
they
put
it
on
a
big
truck.
They
have
weaknesses
right.
You
can't
drive
those
big
trucks
everywhere.
There's
terrain
issues,
that's
why
the
modular
style
and
ability
to
transport
it
in
basic
vehicles
is
so
powerful.
A
This
is
it
three
days.
This
is
what
I'm
selling
I'm
gonna
build
your
family,
a
house
in
three
days,
the
victory
one
iteration
will
be
30
days.
The
victory
two
iteration
will
be
ten
days
in
victory.
One
iteration
three
will
be
three
days
or
die
trying
and
we
will
keep
going
until
we
hit
three
days
now.
There
are
issues
of
concrete,
curing
and
other
material
concerns
that
we
are
that
I'm
unsure
about.
But
this
is
the
goal
three
days
shoot
for
the
moon.
A
The
difference
is
that
it's
going
to
actually
be
incorporated
into
nature
to
sell
the
idea
that
we're
not
just
building
homes,
we're
building
something
that
you
need
to
accept
and
understand
your
role
and
and
your
connection
to
nature
with.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
in
this
this.
So
this
was
a.
We
bought
a
petting
zoo,
a
dilapidated
petting
zoo
and
we're
in
the
process
of
renovating
it.
A
There
will
be
model
homes
of
the
seed,
eco
iteration
and
victory
iteration,
one
in
opposite
corners
with
a
botanical
gardens
in
between
to
give
an
experience
that
the
user
can
feel
a
part
of
nature
and
use
the
houses
that
we're
trying
to
sell
them.
That
is
something
that
you
can't
get,
but
from
other
competitors.
You
want
to
sleep
in
the
house,
we're
going
to
sell
you
come
on
down.
A
Nope
this
is
this
is
our
pond.
This
is
some
vegetation.
This
is
our
swan
and
duck.
Unfortunately,
we
have
to
keep
a
fence
around
the
pond
because
the
swan
they
have
these
like
long
ass
claws-
and
I
guess
one's
stuck
in
somebody
in
somebody's
belly,
so
we
have
to
keep
them
locked
up.
A
B
C
A
A
These
are
the
things
that
I'm
shooting
for
of
our
key
differentiators.
This
is
also
copied
lead
well
impossible.
This
is
how
we
get
the
people
that
are
crazy,
green
into
the
fray.
The
victory
home
will
be
designed
with
the
passivhaus
standard,
so
it'll
only
be
able
to
move
in
three
different
iterations,
based
on
where
the
sun
is
and
in
relation
to
the
user's
lot.
So
we'll
have
three
basic
iteration
patterns
with
the
sun
in
mind,
always
the
sun
in
mind.
For
that
advanced,
enclosed
enclosure.
A
You
guys
will
see
that,
with
a
little
bit
of
the
insulated
concrete
form,
organic
building
materials,
insulated
concrete
form
is
made
of
styrofoam
it's
an
oil-based
product,
not
crazy
about
it,
but
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
use
something
that
is
completely
airtight,
while,
while
building
capital
for
hemp
creek
blocks,
which
we
want
to
build
in
the
same
icf
concrete
forms
at
a
later
date,
once
we
get
that
down,
there
mini
splits,
they're,
amazing
and
then
hydra
this
hybrid
heat
pump.
A
Why
the?
Why
is
so
important
to
everything
we
do
so
I'm
going
to
give
you
just
a
little
timeline
about
the
y,
so
you
can
really
really
understand
the
galvanizing
factors
behind
this
and
why
everything
is
happening
so
fast,
so
may
2020
in
the
middle
of
19.
global
19
pandemic,
george
floyd's
killed
wife,
and
I
are
part
of
the
protest
group
groups
and
cleanup
groups
and
the
electricity
and
change
between
ourselves
and
our
communities
was
something
I've
not
not
felt.
A
One
of
the
things
about
america
is
that
everything
is
so
overpriced.
You
know,
we've
talked
in
and,
and
you
know,
I'm
not
a
philanthropist,
I'm
not
a
social
worker.
This
is
the
way
through.
You
know
the
economic
means
of
the
united
states
that
we
can
provide
something,
that's
value
that
is
actually
affordable
and
can
make
these
communities
better
a
part
of
victory.
Every
part
of
a
victory
home.
Some
of
that
money
will
go
back
into
the
project
to
make
underserved
and
neighborhoods
that
need
more
help
available.
A
However,
in
june
2020
family
begins
to
pick
up
pace
as
charities
are
stretched
and
they
pivot.
So
their
main
mission
no
longer
is
their
mission.
They
begin
to
pivot
and
their
resources
rightfully
go
back
to
the
countries
and
risk
which
they
reside,
but
everybody
that
was
on
this
charity
tit
all
of
a
sudden
has
no
nowhere
to
go
and
nothing
to
have
tangibly.
A
This
galvanizes
me
against
the
charity.
Myth
if
we
don't
teach
people
how
to
do
things
they
will
perish.
I
believe
that
we
have
to
teach
people
to
fish,
not
just
give
them
fishies
right
and
that's
what
part
of
this
program
is
about
that.
I
like
so
much
as
well
right,
so
in
june
2020
we
discover
open
source
ecology,
I
become
obsessed
and
it
is
the
galvanizing
vision
for
what
would
become
the
victory
home.
A
The
idea
of
the
open
source,
ecology
and
giving
away
everything
christian
said
something
that
really
caught
my
mind
is
that
everywhere
the
united
states
goes
and
everything
we
do.
There
always
seems
to
be
something
underlying
that
we're
looking
to
get
from
somebody
else,
we're
always
looking
for
some
resources,
we're
always
looking
for
some
money,
we're
always
looking
for
something,
but
we're
never
just
giving
it
for
just
for
no
reason.
You
know
what
I
mean:
that's
a
little
bit
different
in
the
charity
model,
of
course,
but
that
again
I
don't
think
works
july
2020.
A
We
agree
that
we
can
I'll
dedicate
my
life
to
affordable
housing,
the
united
states-
and
I
can
quit
my
job
once
the
revenue
or
capital
matches
my
current
w2,
which
is
what
I'm
really
hoping
happens,
really
fast.
Research
commences,
I'm
obsessed
and
then
august
2020
I
buy
my
first
dwelling
renovate
it
and
then
in
may
2021
we
buy
ad
network
which
I've
mentored
return
to
nature
is
about
everything
I
do
going
forward.
A
So
timeline
continue
now
we're
impressed.
So
the
goal
is
the
completion
of
the
completion
of
the
future
form
based
painting
and
preparation
for
seed
iteration,
that's
supposed
to
happen
in
in
spring
of
next
year.
I
am
having
a
baby
in
february,
so
it's
gonna
have
to
be
a
little
bit
flexible,
but
I'll
put
that
thing
on
a
little.
No
backpacking
it'll
get
started,
or
you
know,
work
in
the
open
source,
ecology
right
away.
A
I'm
also
going
to
present
the
idea
of
future
schools
to
maths
and
teachers
unions.
This
is
another
component
of
that
teaching
teaching
our
children
need
to
learn
capitalistic
ideas,
entrepreneurship
and
a
trade
that's
actually
viable
before
they
leave
high
school
yeah.
It's
it's
ridiculous
that
we're
we're
setting
these
kids
up
for
failure
and
we're
like.
Oh
there's,
a
wonderland
chair
with
society.
A
A
A
A
A
That
is
the
most
important
thing
that
we
can
do
and
hopefully,
in
year,
five,
the
first
heavy
creek
blocks
are
approved
for
commercial
adaptation
and
then
the
ten
years.
I
think
we'll
commence
after
data
about
actually
people
being
like.
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
year,
10
the
wider
adoption
of
icf
building
standards
and
then
east
west
and
separate
central
representation
within
the
united
states
of
victory
homes
or
open
source
ecology,
building
standards
in
general,
whichever
one
this
isn't
about
victory
homes
in
itself.
A
A
A
The
great
thing
about
these
is
they're
built
in
staggered
formations.
So
if
you
look
up
here
when
my
icf
building
blocks
are
delivered
on
site,
they'll,
look
something
like
that:
they'll
be
in
a
roy
g,
bib
thing
and
then
roy
build
we'll
just
repeat
it.
If
it's,
if
there's
more
than
that,
so
they'll
be
delivered
in
red
orange,
yellow
iterations,
they'll
they'll
put
them
up,
you
brace
them
on
both
sides,
so
they
stay
straight
and
you
pour
the
concrete.
A
A
Just
so
you
guys
can
see
this
all
right
basic
picture.
This
is
the
monoport
system.
This
is
the
footer
and
the
whole
house
poured
in
one
day
right.
That's
that's
the
power,
I'm
not
I'm
not
attached
to
any
technology
when
it
gets
better
I'll
iterate
it
again,
but
we
will
stay
at
the
edge
of
every
technology,
because
that
will
keep
us
competitive
in
the
marketplace
and
because
builders
refuse
to
get
get
to
the
times,
so
we're
going
to
pool
them
because
we're
going
to
make
a
product
that's
cheaper,
better,
faster
and
yeah.
I
guess.
A
So
there's
two
challenges:
I
have
the
cooperative
model.
I
want
to
start
something
with
employee-owned
membership
in
my
businesses,
however,
in
the
united
states,
it's
not
a
common
model
and
I
haven't
seen
it
work,
although
you
know
I'm
I'm
willing
to
try
that
to
fail,
and
I
think
that's
the
real
good
one
so
like
partners.
C
E
G
C
I
F
G
D
I
think
he's
got
a
strong.
Why
and
has
done
his
research
r
d
and
I
think,
he's
ahead
of
the
of
the
leap
he's
coming
here:
open
source,
ecology
getting
to
know
how
can
he
create
this
system
of
change
that
can
collaborate
in
a
meaningful
way
so.
B
There
are
specific,
measurable
actionable
and
the
other
rt.
E
E
D
D
Okay,
so
I
I
don't
see
like
the
money
like
where
is
it
coming
from?
What
are
the
channels,
the
stakeholders.
F
Yeah,
well,
I
know
I've
been
obsessed
with
this
for
a
year,
and
this
is
just
a
short
presentation,
but
I
imagine
there's
plenty
of
pitfalls
with
the
legal
tape.
That's
the
question
right
sort
of
the
bureaucratic
circumstances
that
are
not
there
to
help
him.
B
G
C
D
You
haven't
talked
about
anything
any
technologies,
about
open
source
equality
and
that's
one
and
like
you
talked
about
the
fab
foam
monopure.
But
it
does
it's
not
really
modular
or
is
it.
J
Email
potential
partners
or
try
a
google
ads
campaign
just
to
a
website
for
people
looking
for
affordable
homes
and
then
ask
them.
What
are
you
looking
for,
or
do
you
mind
giving
feedback
or
coming
to
visit
my
farm?
I
think
the
farm
is
a
great
selling
point.
Yeah
sell
the
farm
yeah.
I
Air
con
yeah
two
points
both
regards
to
terminology
and
sort
of
marketing.
First,
the
commercial
statement,
although
it
was
concise
and
I'll
picture
that
if
you
do
that
open
source,
it's
a
phrase,
I'm
not
sure
if
you're
targeting
someone
to
understand
that.
But
it's
worth
your
time
trying
to
educate
yourself
about
that.
The
other
one
is
kind
of
sort
of
funny
or
nitpicky
here.
But
I'm
do
you?
Try
an
empire's
hemp
creature,
a
conservative,
god-fearing
world
populist
out
in
ohio.
G
H
Focus
on
the
starting
point:
there's
like
it's
good
to
see
like
a
a
one
year,
a
five
year
or
a
ten
year
plan,
but,
like
all
those
are
injured
upon
the
first
step,
nailing
that
first
step
is
dependent.
It
is
required
to
get
to
the
second
step.
D
H
Numbers
just
expanding
the
price
point,
but
like
all
numbers
like
materials,
labor,
total
cost
utilities,
land
purchase
price
everything.
A
I
got
none
below
so
thank
and
thank
you
and
thank
you,
martin
for
creating
this
place
for
us
to
come
in
and
do
this
it's
more
important
than.
E
A
A
Material
costs
and
everything
of
like
that
nature,
making
sure
I
have
a
conservative
and
a
liberal
selling
point
mechanism
that
is
not
going
to
push
anyone
away
and
then
just
really,
I
would
say
in
my
mind,
details
meticulous
meticulous
concentration,
on
details
and
then,
of
course,
adding
the
new
company
to
the.
E
C
H
I
really
like
the
part
where
you
stretch
it,
so
it
was
like
we
later
on
the
positive
stuff
yeah,
so
it
was
like
a
warm
and
inclusive,
but
then
we
could
like
go
the
next
phase
of
like
actual
critical
details
and
whatnot.
This
is
like.
Sometimes
you
can
construct
a
feedback.
You
know
like.
I
appreciate
it
like.
It
still
feels
like
it's
being
cut.
H
E
E
E
Well,
the
group
that
I
volunteer
with
it
calls
it
the
beehive
the
three
rounds
because
there's
a
a
brand,
if
you
will
the
the
concept
of
honey
first
and
stings
later.
F
D
The
general
system-
you
know
the
workflow
like
okay,
you
see
that
they're
having
bigger
modules,
you're,
not
gonna,
and
still
the
machine,
you're
gonna
steal.
Okay.
This
is
how
they
work.
I'm
gonna
kind
of
redo
it
in
my
own
way-
and
you
know
you
don't-
go
and
steal
the
blueprints
of
the
of
the
machines.
G
D
C
H
G
H
A
J
B
B
H
What
if
we
were
to
step
away
from
everything
else
about
that?
Just
focus
on
that
one
component
and
take
that
component
and
throw
it
into
a
capitalistic
society.
So
what
other
forms
of
like
the
worker
owning
the
means
of
production
that
we
already
have
in
our
society?.
D
F
F
D
Like
what
do
you
mean
like
they
reduce
their
weight?.
D
C
H
H
One
person
like
a
family,
so
what's
the
difference
between,
like
one
person,
owning
a
business
versus
like
the
idea
of
a
large
group
of
people
owning
a
business,
is
just
the
size
yeah.
So
we
already
have
a
model
in
which
you
know
and
are
very
familiar
with
as
far
as
workers
owning
the
means
of
reduction.
I
H
Is
the
small
family
business
all
we're
doing
is
expanding
that
out,
so
you
have
a
much
bigger
family
and
perhaps
the
family
isn't
necessarily
based
upon
genetics.
The
family
is
based
upon
like
similar
work,
ethics,
similar
ideologies,
similar
directions,
similar
goals
and
the
goal
could
simply
be
that
we
want
to
make
money
in
order
to
go
on
vacation
yeah.
The.
H
C
H
With
that
in
mind,
you
can
any
business
can
be
an
open
source
or
not
open
source,
but
an
employee
sponsored
ownership
program.
Specifically
you
just
have
to
like
hype,
is
a
is
a
grocery
store
that
is
all
over
the
place,
and
that
is
employee,
owned
lots
and
lots
and
lots
of
engineering
firms
are
employee-owned.
H
Anything
that
has
partners
like
a
lawyer
firm
or
a
doctor's
firm
that
automatically
leads
itself
lends
itself
to
becoming
an
employee-owned
firm.
It's
just
a
matter
of
like
how
many
people
are
going
to
be
on
the
end.
Generally,
like
a
lawyer's
firm,
you
only
have
people
that
are
the
very
top
and
they're
going
to
exclude
as
many
people
as
possible
as
they
want
to
keep
the
money
from
themselves.
Well,
it
matters.
H
I
F
Representation
of
it,
maybe
not
for
all
business
structures,
gives
people
want
to
feel
that
they
collaborate
towards
that
goal.
It
doesn't
matter
if
they're,
building
a
stone
wall
or-
or
you
know,
saving
dolphins,
it's
the
act
of
doing
it
and
knowing
it
makes
a
difference
that
powers-
people
if
the
russians
have
this.
D
Yeah,
like
I
think,
for
the
reactivation
of
the
depression,
1920
1929,
they
did
the
same
like
there
was
a
group
of
workers
that
dug
a
hole
and
the
other
one
deployed
back.
That's
true.
A
One
to
have
them
have
power,
and
by
and
in
and
to
know
that,
their
their
work
and
their
ideas
and
imagination
matter.
This
is,
I
mean
the
business
has
to
survive,
but
this
is
more
about
more
than
the
money
can.
D
I
can
I
can
ask
something
so
like
in
this
employee
owner,
like
businesses,
first,
what's
the
percentage,
because
what
I've
I've
heard
or
what
I've
investigated?
It's
like!
No
more
than
five
percent
ten
percent,
like.
H
Ownership
of
the
company
yeah,
so
it
depends
on
the
structure
of
it.
Some
companies
force
it
the
the
ones
that
I've
worked
at
as
soon
as
you
left
the
company
you
had
to
sell
all
your
stock
in
the
company.
H
So
that's
one
system
also
these
places
is
generally
is
like
there's
a
a
percentage
of
your
money.
How
much
money
you
make
a
percentage
of
that
is
then
put
into
like
a
fund
of
stock
in
the
company,
and
then
you
get
20
of
that
a
year
up
to
five
years
in
the
five
year,
you're
fully
invested
and
all
that
money
is
yours,
so
the
the
20.
So
it's
like
on
year.
H
Three,
if
you
leave
so
you,
you
got
twenty
percent
of
the
first
year
for
the
second
year
and
six
years
in
the
third
year.
So
then
that's
how
much
of
that
money
you
get
when
you
leave!
You
aren't
really
invested
in
the
company
fully
and
then
after
the
year,
five,
all
of
it's
like
fully
invested,
so
you
get
a
full
payout
and
then
the
the
stock
of
the
company
would
go
up
and
the
company
is
doing
well.
The
stock
car
scores.
D
C
D
H
J
A
similar
example,
so
in
detroit
I
am
renovating,
abandoned
houses
to
sell
affordably
two
people,
and
I
get
a
lot
of
contractors
who
have
like
a
lot
of
skills
and
they
themselves.
They
could
build
a
house
themselves
from
scratch,
but
they
will
never
save
up
or
get
a
loan
for
money
like
they
can't
own
a
home,
even
though
they
can
build
one
which
seems
very
alienating,
and
I
would
love
to
involve
them.
C
J
Until
you
sell
your
tell
us,
I
saw
my
first
house,
you
know
it's
pretty
emperial
then
so
I
have
a
challenge
to
get
them
to
treat
me
as
anything
other
than
a
customer.
I'm
like
I
want
to
be
your
partner
like
no
one
else
is
selling
houses.
Importantly
in
detroit,
let's
work
together
and
I
think
you're
just
the
system
is
so
beating
them
down
that
they.
A
C
D
Profit
from
all
of
it,
for
example,
I'm
trying
to
figure
out,
like
the
concept
of
my
business,
comes
from
the
fact
of
giving
without
anything
in
return,
understanding
that
the
world
is
gonna,
give
you
back,
but
it's
not
the
same
person
that
it's
gonna
give
you
back.
You
know
it's
like
I'll,
give
mati
a
house
and
like
pay
it
forward
and
and
the
pay
for
is
not
going
to
come
from
him
like.
D
D
Which
is
it's
a
moral
community
kind
of
relationship
because,
like
in
in
the
way
it
was
formed,
the
concept
was
formed.
Was
a
closed.
Loop
was
a
closed
community.
So
it's
not
like
you
know
you,
you
jump
you.
You
go
to
asia
and
you're.
Expecting
someone
to
give
you
back.
D
You
kind
of
expect
that
maybe
handles
give
me
some
feedback,
because
it
kind
of
saw
me
giving
something
to
to
maddie,
but
it's
not
really
that
way,
but
it's
a
closed
system
but
yeah
like
I'm,
trying
to
figure
out
the
way,
because
I'm
I'm
thinking
about
it.
I
have
like
a
lot
of
friends
that
they're
not
gonna,
invest
a
dime.
Maybe
they
will,
but
they
they're
not
here
investing
what
I've
invested.
I'm
I'm
having
I've
like
I
went
to
germany,
then
I
I'm
coming
here.
D
H
D
F
F
H
Ownership
of
the
company,
based
on
like
how
much
effort
you've
already
put
into
it.
So
whatever
rules
you
give
to
other
people,
you
use
the
same
rules
of
cutting
to
yourself,
but
you
cut
in
all
this
labor
that
you're
putting
in
right
now,
as
essentially
sweat,
equity,
you've
already
put
into
the
company.
So
you
would
start
out
with
an
extra
amount
of.
H
Then,
over
time
you
would
be
giving
you
could
be
losing
percentages
of
the
company,
but
you'd
be
losing
those
percentages
of
the
company
to
people
that
are
dedicated
and
committed
to
the
company
themselves.
So
it's
like
a
gradual
transition
and
then,
as
you're
doing
this
transition
of
actual
like
power
you're,
also
like
incorporating
their
ideas
that,
like
you,
want
this
to
live
on
beyond
what
that
means
that
you'd
have
to
like
set
it
free
like
a
bird
into
the
sky,
you
can't
like
trap
it
in
the
cage
and
control
it.

Yeah
we
got-
I
was
like
katarina's
in
here,
oh
katarina's,
in
here
twice
and
joshua
thomas
is
in
here.
Joshua
thomas
is
the
guy
that's
doing
the
the
it
right
he's
who
I.
H
Joshua,
I
need
access
to
the
wikipedia
page,
there's
an
account
with
a
username
of
maddie
m-a-t-y.
I'm
just
gonna
go
ahead
and
need
you
to
get
that
account
admin
privileges.

Community,
it's
about
the
love,
it's
about
the
integrity.
It's
about
developing!
You
know
what
you
can
contribute
and
what
can
you
become
not
enough
become
of
something
like
an
image,
but
the
day-to-day
work
is
going
to
take
you
somewhere.
G
G
A
D
A
few
houses
and
you
have
for
to
leave
for
a
year,
you
know
like
50,
000
or
whatever
in
with
10
people,
you
kind
of
have
the
amount
to
leave,
but
it's.

If
not,
they
will
become

I
agree,
and
you
know
they're
all
gonna
become
bureau
of
europe
in
which
paperwork
is
gonna,
be
the
the
way
in
which
the
system
will
work.
But
if
you
put
marijuana
meritocracy
as
first
hand,
everything
is
gonna
work
because
people
that
are
smart
and
that
know
the
culture
and
know
the
tech
and
know
the
workflow.
