The show's motto is unmistakable: RICHLY IS GOODLY!
Please consider how you define the term good as we journey through life together in your pursuit of defining the term richly in your life.
Much to present today and unpack over the next several episodes. We will end today by stating and explaining a bit of the first principle for living life more richly.
The pursuit of living life more richly means you have the ability to accomplish specific measurements of specific actions producing specific results in your life. You are able to measure in ways never thought possible before you decided to live your life more richly. You will know your progress in your journey to live your life more richly as a result of listening to The Richly or Poorly Show!
I do not wish to address the topic of politics in The Richly or Poorly Show. I do intend to discuss the topic of civics as part of how humanity forms societies.
Let’s start by defining a few terms to help us connect strongly in our relationship by holding a shared understanding.
All definitions presented on the show are resident in the public domain as public knowledge, so there is nothing proprietary contained within these definitions.
The term richly is a plural term. It is an adverb, a term describing a verb. The verb, in this case, is the term rich.
The term rich is a plural term. It is a verb. A verb is the expression of an action, state, or a relationship between two things. Rich is defined as elaborate, full, or appropriate. Rich is also defined as having either wealth or valuable resources.
The term abundantly is a plural term. It is an adverb, a term describing a verb. The verb, in this case, is the term abundant.
The term abundant is a plural term. It is a verb. A verb is the expression of action, a state, or a relationship between two things. Abundant is defined as very plentiful. Abundant is more than either rich or richly. So, rich and richly are only a part of abundant. Abundance is more than rich.
The term wealth is a plural term. It is a noun. A noun states an attribute of a person, place, thing, or idea. Wealth is a great quantity or store of money, valuable possessions, property, or other riches.
The term wisdom is a noun. It is a singular term. Wisdom is knowledge of what is true or right, coupled with just judgment to act as wisdom defines. Wisdom requires the definition of morality to exist. More on the topic of morality in the show episode coming two weeks from today.
A fact is a singular term. It is a noun. A noun is either a particular person, place, thing, or idea. It is temporary in duration, changing eventually as it is subjective.
The term Truth is a singular term. It is a proper noun. A proper noun is a noun that is used to denote a particular person, place, thing, or idea. It is timeless in duration, never changing as it is absolute.
The term civics is a plural term. It is a noun. Civics considers human rights and how those rights are realized in societies.
Politics gets into civics, but politics is about convincing a person listening to agree with the position of a person speaking in an attempt to convince them their position is worth their agreement to gain their vote in some type of election for holding office in a government.
Again, the topic of politics is not addressed in The Richly or Poorly Show.
I urge you to ponder these terms over the coming days. We will consider them during each episode of our time together.
The thought of living life more richly is based on holding a clear understanding of how living life more poorly could occur.
Let’s consider a few examples of living life more poorly from my perspective.
My heart goes out to the European Union and the United Kingdom.

Pavel Durov runs the Telegram messaging service.
He was arrested in August 2024 in France.
Flight diverted due to a fuel problem. Flight left soon after his arrest.
Why released?

Nicolas Sarkozy
The people of France now have low tourism and low foreign investment. Clearly, those outside of France are both confused and scared to participate in any way in France. The result is that France has serious financial problems.
I do not know how to define a UK citizen from an immigrant to the UK. The rights and behaviors of each confuse me immensely. My confusion exists because the citizens of the UK have civic ethics that are inconsistent with the civic worldview held by the majority of UK citizens.
Germany has risked the next two decades on a loan they have undertaken to fund their country. It is a high-risk loan. They seem to have no other option other than the loan to fund their country.
There are real monetary and societal problems in these countries from choices these countries cannot seem to either unwind or stop.
My heart goes out to the Asia members. Philippines, North and South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Guam.
The typhoons, earthquakes, and tsunamis are tough on these locations.
Add the volcano activity in northern Philippines.
352 metric tons of plastic waste from the Philippines.
242 metric tons from China.
The Philippines could be transformed by the plastic industry alone.

I hope the day will come when members of North and South Korea can reunite with their families. I hope the people of South Korea can find forgiveness in their hearts to not imprison the president they removed from office in 2024.
My heart goes out to North American members.
The United States will not remain together, with society splitting, with no more middle ground for the people to live together.
Mexico is overwhelmed by the drug production and distribution efforts.
Canada seems to have lost its way forward as a part of the continent.
My heart goes out to the members of my target audience: Financial Investors, Skilled Workers, Service Workers, and Homemakers.
Financial Investors:
It has been my experience that the most unhappy person in this world is the Financial Investor. They exist to buy at a low price and sell at a higher price as quickly as possible, all while bearing the lowest risk possible. Ten bucks is ten bucks for such a perspective. I have been in that state as a Financial Investor. The perspective may help money go into the pocket, but it does little to help live life more richly.
The answer for this crowd is to reconnect with humanity.
Skilled Workers:
Automation continues to perform more tasks involved in skilled work.
October 1995, master welder, Newport News Shipyard, $41 per hour, monitoring the robotic welder. The welder never saw the robot fail.
I would love to be able to access the skilled labor in this crowd with their many abilities for projects other than multimillion-dollar multiyear projects, but their business model does not support anything but larger buyers.
The answer for this crowd is to change their business model.
Service Workers:
Automation continues to do more tasks involved in service work.
Japan civil engineering. Remote. The smaller companies are not able to compete with this combination.
Steinway Piano Company. Henry Steinway IV, “I wish the piano business were not over.”
The answer for this crowd is to embrace technology through the robotics that are on the rise in many parts of many societies and become expert users of robotics.
Homemakers:
The wonderment about artificial intelligence and home energy prices seems to be at the forefront of their thinking.
The data centers involved with artificial intelligence are causing energy prices to rise faster than at almost any point in history.
80% of the existing and new data centers in the world are in the United States. Why?
The answer for the financial investor to gain more profit is found in the homemaker. This relationship will help the homemaker be a part of artificial intelligence and prevent energy prices from rising as quickly as they have over the past four years. More on this topic in a future episode.
Today, the Financial Investor is searching for enough electricity to power the data centers to operate artificial intelligence to feed into the next generation of computing, called quantum computing. They will never find enough electricity without the buy-in of the Skilled Workers, Service Workers, and Homemakers.
None of these groups is going to pay for higher electricity costs to their homes so the data centers can operate. Those in elected office will never force them to pay more for electricity costs.
Today, the Skilled Workers are often unwilling to embrace more technology and any form of robotics.
They do not have a choice. The smartphone many hold in their hand proves technology is not going away anytime soon.
Today, the Service Workers are often unwilling to embrace more technology and any form of robotics.
They do not haHello! Welcome to The Richly or Poorly Show!

ve a choice. The smartphone many hold in their hand proves technology is not going away anytime soon.
Today, the Homemakers are trying to understand how their roles as mothers, fathers, and grandparents can care for children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews, with the decline of primary and secondary academic scores, all while artificial intelligence continues to grow around us.

The listener attributes of the intended show audience hold feelings within them of being either poor, brokenhearted, imprisoned, blind, or oppressed.
I encourage you to understand that it is possible to be free of these conditions and live your life more richly than you have ever known!
I leave you with the declaration of the first principle I have found as paramount, undeniable, and non-negotiable to living life more richly. I will not explain the principle today. I will explain it during the next episode. I do this to help you by helping to align the terms I presented today with the first principle, as you consider this week all you have heard today.
