Dubai c’est fini 😩

The speaker begins by humorously claiming life in Dubai is "too hard" and he might leave, before admitting he's joking and has been back for two weeks, finding things calm. He notes that events have quieted down, which is a positive. He mentions making good money on oil, specifically with XLE and DBC, but doesn't disclose the exact amount, stating his focus is on his overall portfolio. He addresses some English messages, clarifying that his community is usually French-speaking. He recalls a previous live session that was excellent but had poor sound quality, so he removed it, promising to do another one. He discusses the recent situation, acknowledging that the first few days were intense, with sounds like planes or boats, but emphasizes that it has since calmed down. He describes the initial two weeks as "horrible" but expresses relief that things are now peaceful, hoping for global calm. The speaker reflects on the helplessness felt during conflict, where one hears bombs but can do nothing, feeling like a mere pawn in larger struggles. He criticizes those who mocked Dubai, suggesting that if similar events occurred in Belgium or France, there would be riots and looting. He laments the vast sums of money spent on conflict—25 billion dollars—which could instead solve many global problems. He expresses sadness that humanity's issues persist due to powerful lobbies, money, and business interests. He advises against political idealism, stating that individuals cannot change the world and should instead focus on self-improvement. He uses the analogy of being unable to change the minds of one's own family members, let alone an entire country or company. Therefore, he advocates for personal growth as the most effective path to achieving goals, rather than fighting "windmills." He concludes by reiterating the ephemeral nature of life and the importance of living it fully, without trying to change political systems. He is currently at the Royal Atlantis and notes that Dubai is now very calm, with people resuming their normal lives.
