Building Capacity

September 2, 2026

by Eric Chaet

Most of the work is building capacity.


That’s true of the enterprise of changing the world forever for better as it is for, I suppose, every enterprise.

Building capacity at the least initial and ongoing costs, that is, costs divided by years of production at the greatest utility of what is produced. That is: the highest quality, the greatest ability to change the world forever for better one person at a time.

And building effective demand.
With the least competition.


And with the least opposition, including passive aggression — but there will be plenty of passive aggression.

And faster. Power is achievement of the most desirable effect divided by time.

So, building capacity to deliver to the greatest effective demand that which will have the greatest (world changing for the better) effect, longest and soonest.

Investment

August 27, 2026

In whom or what are we investing our time & efforts & planning, our resources, our affection & love, our hopes?

Invest money in me, if you can, & I’ll invest money in you, if I can.

We need money to stay alive where so much of what we absolutely must have — shelter, safety, nourishment, time when nothing is demanded of us, communicating thru chaos & injustice & prejudice with potential allies — costs money.

But invest your attention in me — it will pay great dividends — & I will invest attention in you.

And affection & understanding of unusual degree.

Encourage my efforts, or discourage them, if you think they’re unwise. Don’t let me fail!

If you encourage my efforts, invest your efforts that complement them, & I’ll contribute my efforts that complement yours — even more, & more particularly, than I have been doing for the last 60 years.

You will gain more than the dollars of profit you might make by investing in what the billionaires & their employees are dangling.

It’s not a passive investment — but you’ll be passive soon enough, won’t you?
