If the past can be changed by what happens in the present, then maybe you can change the past too. And if the past isn t just the way you want it to be, neither will the future be.
00:00:00.080Hey, everybody. You know, I said by Twitter this morning that this might be one of the best coffees with Scott Adams of all time.
00:00:11.500Let me check my notes. Yeah, yeah, it's true. It's the best one of all time.
00:00:21.100And before we get to the simultaneous sip, because I know there's some kind of a delay here that blocks you from seeing it.
00:00:27.820But until we get to that, let me tell you a little story.
00:00:32.240I have long believed that the past can be changed by what happens in the present.
00:00:40.320Now, this is a form of affirmations, because the idea with affirmations is that when you're affirming something, you say, oh, I want this to work out or this part of my life to be better.
00:00:51.360That in order for those things to happen as if by magic, which is often the way you observe them.
00:00:58.000I'm not saying magic exists. I'm saying you feel like it's magic when something happens just the way you wanted it to happen.
00:01:04.940But in order for that to happen often, the past has to be altered or at least seem like it's been altered.
00:01:12.540And what I mean is, let me give you an example. You heard the story, I think some of you, in which I was experimenting with Christina to see if we could simply use affirmations to make money show up, substantial money, that we had not anticipated.
00:01:29.840Something that wasn't related to my normal work, just money showing up.
00:01:34.280And sure enough, it turns out that sometime in the past, maybe over a year ago, I had inadvertently left some cryptocurrency, just a little bit, in an account that I forgot I had, which is worth a quarter of a million dollars today.
00:02:28.100But if we live in a simulation, and you can change it, you'd have to be able to change the past for the events to work their way up to the future to be just the way you want it.
00:02:40.180Because if the past isn't just the way you want it, neither will the future.
00:04:20.840You know, if Tony Robbins had come up with this idea, maybe he could have made something of himself.
00:04:27.960Well, let's talk about all the things.
00:04:30.840Looks like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett are major investors in a nuclear energy, I think it's a fourth generation nuclear reactor.
00:04:40.960Now, if you don't know what a fourth generation nuclear reactor is, the definition is a little squishy.
00:04:47.880But basically it means a safer, more economical form of nuclear energy.
00:04:55.260You might not be aware, I think this is true, that there's never been a major problem with current, the newest type of nuclear power.
00:05:05.880Do me a fact check on that, but I think it's true that generation three, which is what you would build today, not counting this Bill Gates thing I'll talk about,
00:05:18.200but up until today, any new plant would have been the so-called third generation.
00:05:24.900I believe there's never been an accident in one of those.
00:10:14.140But we've reached this bizarre situation where there are open jobs and there are people without those jobs and they're not especially hurrying to get them because they have the benefits from the government largesse.
00:10:32.680So the jobs report means nothing, but I imagine the stock market will move anyway.
00:11:14.000So here's some little background, some new things that we're learning about it.
00:11:18.480I guess Dr. Fauci gave a wide-ranging interview recently in which he said he was asked if he believed his own National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases could have any responsibility for the global pandemic.
00:11:34.720Now, the reasoning here is that maybe he was part of approving some funding that made its way through the Wuhan lab that may have been involved in some way in gain of function, may have contributed to the outbreak, is at least the allegation and or question.
00:16:33.760Was it because they were closer to the bats and the wet markets, and so they could, you know, do a little more direct research because they're right there where things happen?
