I don't think telling the truth is enough.
People will almost always choose conformism, and confirmation bias over the truth.
So... Just telling the truth and providing data is not enough to change someone's mind.
We need the truth to be wrapped in good story telling.

Do you have a big problem you are working on solving?
One that can make the world a better place?

The next energy crisis won’t start in OPEC.
It will start at the intersection of three things happening at once:
1. Red Sea / Gulf escalation (Houthis–Saudi, Iran proxies)
2. AI data centers eating electricity faster than grids can add it.
3. Governments still treating power as a climate slogan instead of a strategic asset. (Canada, UK, the EU)
Countries that can produce and export energy cheaply and reliably will set the terms of the 2030s.
Countries that can’t will import instability.
The 2020s were about chips.
The 2030s will be about watts.

The key to prospatity is energy and intelligence. i.e. AI.
“Net zero” is not a power plan. AI data centers do not care about slogans. They care about firm megawatts at 7pm in January.
You can ban speech, rename degrees, and lecture platforms. You cannot legislate electrons onto a cold grid.
Alberta still understands this.
Ottawa keeps writing policy as if physics were optional.
The next shortage won’t be “misinformation.” It will be power, copper, and time.
Which constraint hits Canada first?

Alberta is building the future.
$13B+ AI data centers. Private capital. No subsidie. Bring-your-own-power.
Jurisdictions that treat energy as a sin and builders as villains will watch from the sidelines.

One of my favorite LOTR motivational quotes:
Théoden: "So much death. What can men do against such reckless hate?"
Aragorn: "Ride out with me. Ride out and meet them."

@Grok, will AI benefit or harm humanity?
Answer in one paragraph.

What do you value more,
Objective truth, or conformism?

Should Alberta become an Associated Province of Canada?
