I love the Perlite block idea - amazing mission on tackling affordable housing segment. I did not realise how environmentally impactful manufacturing of construction materials was. With this 'easier' assembly, I can already see a new segment exploding - people who would be interested in building their own small home.... myself included when husband and I bought a piece of land in a small beach town in Thailand a couple of years ago. So have binged so many small home build videos over the years!

Reminded me of this hilarious flat-pack home from Amazon (not sure how real this is though!) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9YUu7xEl2I - but funny nonetheless.

Also, thank you for the shout out. I've been looking at the economy like a 'machine' on constant drive to grow - a lot of people benefit from it growing. But we've also realised that it can be manipulated - just from information asymmetry. But tech has also helped close this gap tremendously through things like - trading app accessibility, fractional trading, real-time financial information, etc. This is an ongoing fight lending to help level the playing field for retail investors. I'm kinda seeing a brighter future here.... but then again, I am an optimist!
