I had a lengthy response in my mind, but this attitude leads me to believe you probably won't find much value in it.

I'll just say that sometimes, someone can explain an issue or a concept in a way that really strikes you. Maybe it's a perspective on an important issue that changes how you view it, or maybe it's an idea that opens up an entirely new avenue of thought you hadn't considered.

Sometimes that random stranger can string words together to convey the right information to the right person that positively affects their life.

The article 'List of missing treasures' is a great launching point. While there are many fantastic things in there, I particularly enjoy learning about all of the artifacts from rulers of past that have been lost to time, and are theoretically out there somewhere in the water or some farmer's field.

A poor execution does not make it less seditious. The goal was to undermine or intimidate a democratic process entwined with the leadership of our nation. I would argue that's pretty clearly insurrection.
