00:00:00.000 Ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Highlight of Civilization.
00:00:04.200 And, if you've completed the logic here,
00:00:07.900 it's the Highlight of Civilization and the Highlight of your day.
00:00:12.200 Wow. That's a pretty good situation.
00:00:16.060 And you happen to be here for it. What are the odds of that?
00:00:19.320 Fifteen billion years of the universe evolving.
00:00:23.100 Most of it's just empty, cold, dark, lifeless space.
00:00:27.040 But where you are, oh, it's all happening.
00:00:30.980 It's happening big time.
00:00:32.540 So, pretty lucky?
00:00:34.540 Okay, 13.6 billion years if you want to be like that.
00:00:38.400 If you want to be like that.
00:00:40.000 But how would you like to be like this?
00:00:42.200 The kind of people who will never settle for an ordinary day
00:00:45.900 when a great day could be had.
00:00:48.220 And all they need is...
00:00:50.040 That's right. That's all they need.
00:00:52.820 All they need is a cup or mug or a glass,
00:00:54.640 such-tanker, chelzer, steiner, kentine, jugger, flask,
00:00:57.420 a vessel of any kind.
00:01:00.020 They would fill it with their favorite beverage.
00:01:03.100 I like coffee.
00:01:04.860 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
00:01:09.300 It's the dopamine hit of the day.
00:01:11.740 Feel your serotonin getting a little boost, too?
00:01:14.160 You might. You might.
00:01:15.780 Oxytocin coming online.
00:01:17.380 Tingle in the back of your neck.
00:01:18.620 Here it comes.
00:01:19.380 Go! 0.95
00:01:20.420 Simultaneous sip.
00:01:21.220 I have never felt better.
00:01:36.320 So, you want to talk about good news and stuff?
00:01:39.480 Let's just do funny stories and good news today.
00:01:43.860 I think all the people who report the bad news
00:01:48.000 are on vacation or something.
00:01:49.160 All the bad news bears are on vacation.
00:01:53.860 So, it's a slow news week,
00:01:56.880 and so the Biden administration has confessed
00:01:59.260 that they're going to restart some border wall construction.
00:02:02.120 What?
00:02:03.700 What?
00:02:05.440 Talk about a slow news day thing to slip in there?
00:02:08.780 And we're going to be what we call is
00:02:11.920 just patching some holes.
00:02:13.680 So, they're going to patch some holes,
00:02:18.160 which is totally different,
00:02:20.800 totally different than building a fence
00:02:24.860 across a border to patch some holes.
00:02:28.580 So, if you catch the difference,
00:02:32.860 it's spelled the same.
00:02:35.160 P-A-T-C-H space S-O-M-E space H-O-L-E-S, right? 0.99
00:02:41.980 It's spelled the same,
00:02:43.220 but it's pronounced different.
00:02:45.780 So, very different.
00:02:47.800 Trump was going to patch the holes,
00:02:50.540 and Biden's going to patch some holes,
00:02:53.400 patch some holes.
00:02:54.180 But that's completely different than patch the holes.
00:02:59.640 You see the difference?
00:03:01.280 Don't patch the holes.
00:03:04.180 Same amount of budget, potentially.
00:03:08.280 But instead, you want to say,
00:03:10.200 patch some holes.
00:03:12.700 What are you doing with the money now?
00:03:14.780 Passing some holes.
00:03:16.440 What?
00:03:17.340 What did you say?
00:03:18.400 Speak up.
00:03:18.980 A hole.
00:03:20.420 Patch it.
00:03:21.360 Patch it.
00:03:21.960 Just little patches.
00:03:22.720 What?
00:03:25.200 I'm patching the holes. 1.00
00:03:26.620 Shut up. 0.99
00:03:27.400 Leave me alone. 1.00
00:03:29.600 All right.
00:03:31.840 Here's a story that the longer it goes,
00:03:35.100 the funnier it is.
00:03:37.320 And by funnier, I mean,
00:03:39.540 it's not funny,
00:03:41.160 but it's funny.
00:03:43.880 How many people by now
00:03:46.460 must know for sure what happened to Epstein?
00:03:49.380 Don't you think that number of people
00:03:52.620 is probably growing over time?
00:03:55.820 Can you think of any other story
00:03:57.620 that so many people would potentially
00:04:00.640 know the actual answer?
00:04:03.940 Like, they'd know the whole story.
00:04:07.760 What do you think?
00:04:09.400 And how about the whole story
00:04:11.020 about why the client list hasn't come out yet?
00:04:13.860 I'm not sure I care if it does or not.
00:04:17.020 Frankly, it's...
00:04:18.560 Who knows?
00:04:20.000 But...
00:04:22.300 What do you think?
00:04:26.080 Or let me ask you this.
00:04:28.800 What entity or entities
00:04:30.920 or person
00:04:32.200 could keep this whole Epstein thing
00:04:35.540 so secret so long?
00:04:39.040 Who could do that?
00:04:40.540 Somebody says big money.
00:04:43.300 Do you think big money could do it?
00:04:45.260 Do you think money alone
00:04:46.420 would be enough to plug every hole
00:04:49.360 that would need to get plugged?
00:04:52.200 Because you wouldn't even know
00:04:53.260 where to put the money.
00:04:56.080 Somebody says Hillary Clinton, 0.95
00:04:58.040 but surely there would be
00:04:59.420 some Republicans who knew what happened.
00:05:02.740 They were just close enough to it, right?
00:05:04.460 Is there any possibility
00:05:10.240 it's anybody bought
00:05:11.220 some intelligence agency or agencies?
00:05:16.100 There's not really any chance
00:05:17.620 it's anything bought, right?
00:05:20.700 Oh, interesting...
00:05:21.900 Interesting hypothesis going by there.
00:05:27.320 But what's interesting about this
00:05:29.000 is the audacity of it, isn't it?
00:05:31.660 We kind of know because we don't know.
00:05:35.000 We do know that there's no way
00:05:37.200 this could be a...
00:05:39.900 We do know that nothing about this
00:05:44.360 is normal.
00:05:46.780 And we do know that there are only
00:05:48.160 a few ways that something this big
00:05:49.980 could be kept this secret this long.
00:05:54.100 And there's only, you know,
00:05:55.560 one entity that's big enough
00:05:57.220 or powerful enough
00:05:59.540 to control the media
00:06:01.360 on both the left and the right.
00:06:02.940 So just figure out who that is.
00:06:07.640 And maybe it's more than one organization.
00:06:11.360 Maybe more than one
00:06:12.720 have to work together
00:06:13.540 to get it done.
00:06:14.280 Who knows?
00:06:19.540 Greg says he keeps tuning in
00:06:21.780 because I appeal to his
00:06:22.860 elitist sensibilities.
00:06:25.400 That's what we're trying to do here.
00:06:26.880 Because you are the elite.
00:06:29.620 I think somebody told you that recently.
00:06:31.720 You are the elite.
00:06:33.020 They're not the elite.
00:06:34.560 You are.
00:06:35.860 I don't mean me.
00:06:36.920 I mean we.
00:06:38.060 I mean we.
00:06:39.420 Are the elite.
00:06:40.100 All right.
00:06:46.200 If I knew the truth about Epstein
00:06:48.200 I would not tell you.
00:06:52.380 How many other people
00:06:53.420 would say the same thing?
00:06:55.460 Because the usual suspects,
00:06:58.020 the people who know what's happening
00:06:59.300 in the real world,
00:07:01.140 if they actually knew the answer
00:07:03.200 to the question
00:07:03.740 they wouldn't tell you.
00:07:06.560 I wouldn't.
00:07:07.320 I wouldn't tell you.
00:07:12.740 So,
00:07:13.940 here's a story
00:07:15.560 that is
00:07:16.160 sad and disturbing
00:07:18.040 but
00:07:19.260 maybe you can get
00:07:20.680 some benefit from it.
00:07:24.160 There is a
00:07:25.180 TV personality
00:07:26.340 that I've always said to myself
00:07:27.720 well there is some
00:07:28.720 lucky TV personality.
00:07:31.340 Imagine
00:07:31.740 being good looking.
00:07:34.520 Being born at just
00:07:35.640 the right time.
00:07:37.320 you know tall,
00:07:38.720 have all your hair,
00:07:40.660 you're good on TV
00:07:41.780 and you've got
00:07:42.760 the easiest job
00:07:44.100 in the world
00:07:44.640 which is just talking
00:07:45.640 to people on camera.
00:07:47.740 Can you imagine
00:07:48.780 how awesome
00:07:50.480 that would be?
00:07:51.760 Well I'm talking about
00:07:52.440 Carson Daly
00:07:53.200 who for years
00:07:55.360 his career
00:07:56.220 has been
00:07:56.720 talking to awesome people,
00:07:59.060 famous people usually,
00:08:00.360 on camera
00:08:01.100 about music
00:08:02.140 and then
00:08:02.720 well I guess
00:08:03.840 it's also music
00:08:04.560 because he's
00:08:05.600 on that show
00:08:06.320 what is it
00:08:07.280 the something
00:08:07.940 the singing show
00:08:09.340 but
00:08:11.040 it turns out
00:08:11.800 that the 48 year old
00:08:13.040 we learned
00:08:13.540 is suffering from
00:08:14.720 generalized
00:08:15.700 anxiety disorder
00:08:18.020 which is basically
00:08:19.840 being
00:08:20.360 super afraid
00:08:21.920 of
00:08:22.340 a whole bunch
00:08:24.060 of different things.
00:08:24.840 the thing
00:08:26.200 that makes it
00:08:26.620 generalized
00:08:27.020 is not some
00:08:27.980 specific fear
00:08:29.020 like a fear
00:08:29.600 of flying
00:08:30.140 it's some
00:08:31.140 generalized thing
00:08:32.160 that can just
00:08:33.620 paralyze him
00:08:34.480 anywhere.
00:08:38.360 And apparently
00:08:38.740 one of the places
00:08:39.680 that he has
00:08:40.620 his biggest
00:08:41.200 problems
00:08:42.220 is actually
00:08:43.040 just before the camera
00:08:44.020 starts rolling
00:08:44.720 on his job
00:08:46.180 which I imagined
00:08:46.960 was the easiest
00:08:48.500 job in the world
00:08:49.400 for him.
00:08:50.660 Now I would
00:08:52.380 certainly understand
00:08:53.080 if you said
00:08:54.320 man that would
00:08:55.500 be the scariest
00:08:56.080 job in the world
00:08:56.840 because I'd
00:08:57.660 be afraid
00:08:58.580 of talking
00:08:59.020 in public
00:08:59.440 but I've
00:09:01.180 seen him
00:09:01.560 talk in public
00:09:02.200 a lot of times.
00:09:03.860 Have you ever
00:09:04.200 seen Carson
00:09:04.920 Daly
00:09:05.300 look anything
00:09:07.040 but completely
00:09:08.060 in control
00:09:08.780 when he was
00:09:10.140 talking to
00:09:10.700 other people?
00:09:12.120 Never.
00:09:13.200 The reason
00:09:13.660 he's been doing
00:09:14.260 it for so long
00:09:14.900 is because
00:09:15.340 he's so good
00:09:15.920 at it.
00:09:16.980 Right?
00:09:17.560 He always
00:09:18.220 looks comfortable
00:09:19.180 with everybody.
00:09:21.200 That's sort of
00:09:21.940 the secret
00:09:22.380 of making
00:09:23.060 that job work.
00:09:24.580 But it turns out
00:09:25.240 he must be
00:09:25.600 a good actor
00:09:26.160 because
00:09:26.600 he's got this
00:09:28.960 crippling anxiety.
00:09:31.600 And so the reason
00:09:32.240 I bring this up
00:09:32.980 is
00:09:33.300 happiness
00:09:35.720 is sort of
00:09:36.380 a relative
00:09:36.880 thing.
00:09:38.540 Have you noticed?
00:09:40.260 If you
00:09:41.120 grew up
00:09:41.740 relatively poor
00:09:43.240 but everybody
00:09:44.520 you knew
00:09:44.900 was poor
00:09:45.360 you'd probably
00:09:47.180 feel better
00:09:47.820 than if
00:09:48.460 everybody else
00:09:49.020 was doing
00:09:49.400 well
00:09:49.700 and you
00:09:50.020 weren't.
00:09:51.480 Right?
00:09:51.780 So you end
00:09:52.340 up judging
00:09:53.040 your own
00:09:53.500 actual happiness
00:09:54.420 based on
00:09:55.200 a comparison
00:09:55.920 to a stranger
00:09:56.720 or strangers.
00:09:58.940 And it's just
00:09:59.680 natural.
00:10:00.380 You know,
00:10:00.520 there's nothing
00:10:00.880 wrong with you
00:10:01.480 if you're
00:10:01.740 doing that.
00:10:04.100 So I always
00:10:05.860 find it really
00:10:06.660 useful to
00:10:07.900 apply what I
00:10:08.520 call the
00:10:08.860 basket case
00:10:09.560 theory to
00:10:11.140 anybody you
00:10:11.860 think is
00:10:12.300 having a
00:10:12.680 better day
00:10:13.100 than you
00:10:13.480 are.
00:10:15.200 Do you
00:10:15.640 know how
00:10:15.860 many times
00:10:16.280 you've
00:10:16.560 thought to
00:10:16.900 yourself,
00:10:17.340 well I
00:10:18.660 wouldn't
00:10:18.860 mind being
00:10:19.240 that
00:10:19.500 cartoonist
00:10:20.080 guy.
00:10:21.340 Look at
00:10:21.820 what he's
00:10:22.140 got going
00:10:22.560 for him.
00:10:23.400 Because on
00:10:23.800 paper,
00:10:25.120 on paper,
00:10:26.440 it's pretty
00:10:27.160 amazing.
00:10:28.300 Right?
00:10:28.760 If you were
00:10:29.340 to do a
00:10:29.640 little checklist
00:10:30.300 of what
00:10:31.540 things I've
00:10:32.040 got working
00:10:32.480 for me,
00:10:33.420 you'd be
00:10:33.800 like,
00:10:34.120 whoa,
00:10:34.600 okay,
00:10:34.820 he's got
00:10:35.080 the money,
00:10:35.840 he's got
00:10:36.220 the audience,
00:10:36.860 blah,
00:10:37.040 blah,
00:10:37.140 blah.
00:10:37.980 Handsome,
00:10:38.760 got that
00:10:39.220 working for
00:10:39.700 me,
00:10:40.020 obviously.
00:10:41.380 Good
00:10:41.820 looking.
00:10:42.080 two words
00:10:44.560 that mean
00:10:44.860 largely the
00:10:45.500 same thing.
00:10:48.200 But,
00:10:49.740 humility,
00:10:50.740 exactly.
00:10:51.640 And then
00:10:52.000 there's my
00:10:52.500 humility.
00:10:53.020 And you're
00:10:53.260 saying to
00:10:53.540 yourself,
00:10:53.940 I wish I
00:10:54.400 could have
00:10:54.660 all those
00:10:55.100 things and
00:10:55.540 also as
00:10:56.120 humility.
00:10:56.840 Wouldn't
00:10:57.100 that be
00:10:57.400 an amazing
00:10:58.220 package?
00:10:59.660 But,
00:11:00.240 what do you
00:11:01.200 know about
00:11:01.560 my problems?
00:11:03.940 Do you
00:11:04.500 think you
00:11:04.860 would?
00:11:06.620 I mean,
00:11:07.160 really.
00:11:08.580 If I
00:11:09.180 had,
00:11:09.920 somebody says
00:11:10.580 anger.
00:11:12.080 I'm not
00:11:13.040 sure that's
00:11:13.380 my biggest
00:11:13.860 problem.
00:11:15.500 Really?
00:11:16.440 Do people
00:11:16.840 think I
00:11:17.160 have an
00:11:17.400 anger
00:11:17.680 problem?
00:11:19.380 I would
00:11:19.960 probably
00:11:20.240 know that
00:11:20.920 if I
00:11:21.200 had an
00:11:21.440 anger
00:11:21.640 problem.
00:11:22.180 I don't
00:11:22.420 have an
00:11:22.660 anger
00:11:22.840 problem.
00:11:24.100 At all.
00:11:26.580 I have
00:11:27.240 anger
00:11:27.600 solutions.
00:11:29.180 That's
00:11:29.640 completely
00:11:30.000 different.
00:11:31.280 An anger
00:11:31.800 solution is
00:11:33.100 when you
00:11:33.420 say to
00:11:33.700 yourself,
00:11:34.400 I think
00:11:34.880 I'm going
00:11:35.180 to get
00:11:35.380 really angry
00:11:36.020 for about
00:11:36.480 60 seconds.
00:11:38.200 And then
00:11:38.520 I'm going
00:11:38.720 to break
00:11:39.080 something that
00:11:39.880 I didn't
00:11:40.340 want anyway.
00:11:40.960 and it's
00:11:42.040 going to
00:11:42.220 feel really
00:11:42.660 good when
00:11:43.060 I'm done.
00:11:43.780 Just give
00:11:44.260 me 60
00:11:44.720 seconds.
00:11:45.860 And then
00:11:46.240 I'll just
00:11:46.580 break
00:11:46.880 something or
00:11:48.160 yell at 0.99
00:11:48.600 something or
00:11:49.100 swear at
00:11:49.520 something.
00:11:50.380 And 60
00:11:50.820 seconds later,
00:11:51.740 my pulse is
00:11:54.000 completely
00:11:54.400 baselined.
00:11:56.040 Now, if
00:11:57.140 you work
00:11:57.660 differently than
00:11:58.360 that, I
00:12:00.160 get it,
00:12:00.840 because I'm
00:12:01.180 not even
00:12:01.460 sure that's
00:12:02.280 normal.
00:12:03.440 I think it's
00:12:04.280 a little bit
00:12:04.940 unusual, but
00:12:06.380 probably not so
00:12:07.560 rare that other
00:12:08.540 people here in the
00:12:09.540 comments haven't
00:12:10.240 experienced it.
00:12:11.340 Sometimes you
00:12:11.940 just need to 0.51
00:12:12.420 punch something, 0.98
00:12:13.780 not a person,
00:12:14.940 right?
00:12:15.300 No violence.
00:12:16.840 But sometimes
00:12:17.480 you just need to
00:12:18.060 break your
00:12:18.500 printer, or
00:12:19.140 sometimes you
00:12:19.620 just need to
00:12:21.020 do something.
00:12:22.560 But my
00:12:23.180 point is,
00:12:23.800 think of
00:12:24.260 Carson Daly,
00:12:25.300 give him a
00:12:26.040 good thought,
00:12:26.980 and the next
00:12:27.800 time you think
00:12:28.420 somebody else is
00:12:29.240 just killing it, 0.69
00:12:30.900 be it 1.00
00:12:31.980 Kanye West,
00:12:35.760 or Ye,
00:12:36.820 or whatever
00:12:37.240 you want to
00:12:37.520 call him today,
00:12:37.980 or whoever,
00:12:40.040 probably got
00:12:40.580 some issues.
00:12:41.820 Probably got
00:12:42.360 some issues.
00:12:43.600 So that should
00:12:44.080 make you happier
00:12:44.700 knowing that
00:12:45.220 nobody's killing
00:12:46.480 it much better
00:12:47.380 than you are.
00:12:49.920 All right.
00:12:52.320 Do you think
00:12:52.900 that things in
00:12:53.720 the world are
00:12:54.340 better than ever
00:12:55.480 or worse than
00:12:56.340 ever?
00:12:56.900 Well, not
00:12:57.620 ever.
00:12:58.600 But let's say,
00:12:59.200 do you think
00:12:59.620 that things are
00:13:00.280 trending sharply
00:13:01.260 negative or
00:13:03.120 positive?
00:13:03.640 I'll give you
00:13:05.080 those two
00:13:05.460 choices.
00:13:06.880 Sharply
00:13:07.340 negative,
00:13:08.720 is the world
00:13:09.600 trending negative
00:13:10.440 or is it
00:13:11.180 trending positive?
00:13:14.800 Somebody said
00:13:15.580 both.
00:13:16.420 Okay, you
00:13:18.040 probably did
00:13:19.700 well on your
00:13:20.160 SATs.
00:13:21.280 Whoever said
00:13:22.160 both.
00:13:25.120 Because the
00:13:25.840 first thing you
00:13:26.360 should do is
00:13:26.780 recognize that
00:13:27.580 it's not
00:13:28.320 binary, for
00:13:29.540 God's sakes.
00:13:30.100 Don't let me
00:13:33.440 trap you into 1.00
00:13:34.080 a stupid 1.00
00:13:34.540 binary question. 1.00
00:13:35.960 Of course,
00:13:36.440 it's all
00:13:36.760 complicated,
00:13:37.460 right?
00:13:38.060 Some things
00:13:38.580 are better,
00:13:38.960 some things
00:13:39.300 are worse.
00:13:40.240 But here
00:13:41.480 is another
00:13:42.300 thing to keep
00:13:42.920 in mind.
00:13:43.920 So the first
00:13:44.400 thing to keep
00:13:44.920 in mind is
00:13:45.520 that even
00:13:46.840 a Carson
00:13:47.360 Daly can
00:13:48.320 have some
00:13:48.740 serious
00:13:49.380 problems.
00:13:50.220 So maybe
00:13:50.580 you're not
00:13:50.960 so bad
00:13:51.760 off yourself.
00:13:54.200 The next
00:13:54.940 thing is that
00:13:55.740 there's a
00:13:56.200 reason things
00:13:57.020 seem worse.
00:13:58.840 Well, in
00:13:59.400 fact,
00:13:59.680 the world
00:14:00.400 is way
00:14:00.760 better.
00:14:02.420 All right,
00:14:02.620 so let me
00:14:02.920 say that as
00:14:03.560 my starting
00:14:04.220 bid.
00:14:05.960 The world
00:14:06.620 is way
00:14:07.060 better and
00:14:08.340 trending way
00:14:09.300 better yet.
00:14:10.800 There are
00:14:11.540 certainly
00:14:11.920 problem areas,
00:14:13.300 but do you
00:14:13.680 know why you
00:14:14.000 think everything
00:14:14.500 is worse?
00:14:15.680 It's just the
00:14:16.400 nature of the
00:14:17.100 media.
00:14:17.980 The media
00:14:18.700 needs to
00:14:19.300 report what's
00:14:19.900 going wrong.
00:14:21.400 Nobody really
00:14:22.040 reports on
00:14:22.720 what got 5%
00:14:23.860 better, but
00:14:25.380 if things that
00:14:26.080 really, really
00:14:26.560 matter get 5%
00:14:27.700 better every
00:14:28.360 year,
00:14:28.700 over the
00:14:30.700 course of
00:14:31.120 your lifetime,
00:14:32.260 things are
00:14:32.780 going to be
00:14:33.140 really, really
00:14:33.820 better, which
00:14:35.120 is actually
00:14:35.600 exactly what
00:14:36.360 we see.
00:14:37.620 But it's
00:14:38.660 not a story.
00:14:40.080 So since
00:14:40.740 if it bleeds,
00:14:42.140 it leads,
00:14:42.620 and the
00:14:44.380 horse race
00:14:45.760 sort of
00:14:46.300 competition of
00:14:47.060 politics draws
00:14:48.440 all of our
00:14:48.960 attention.
00:14:49.300 So you are
00:14:50.780 basically drawn
00:14:51.820 to the
00:14:52.500 flaw, not
00:14:53.860 to the
00:14:54.620 portrait.
00:14:57.280 And as
00:14:57.860 long as
00:14:58.120 that's the
00:14:58.440 case, you
00:14:59.600 will simultaneously
00:15:00.400 feel like things
00:15:01.400 are getting
00:15:01.780 worse while
00:15:02.540 they're getting
00:15:03.060 way better.
00:15:05.040 You know, I
00:15:05.540 always talk
00:15:06.440 about the
00:15:06.800 golden age,
00:15:08.060 and then it's
00:15:09.040 sort of the
00:15:09.400 running joke,
00:15:10.080 where's my
00:15:10.420 flying car?
00:15:12.060 Where's my
00:15:12.560 golden age?
00:15:13.660 It's like,
00:15:14.220 uh, wasn't that
00:15:15.280 supposed to kick
00:15:15.840 in a few
00:15:16.520 years ago?
00:15:17.600 And the
00:15:18.160 answer is,
00:15:18.840 it did.
00:15:20.100 It did.
00:15:21.440 In fact, you
00:15:22.620 couldn't even
00:15:23.020 stop it.
00:15:24.300 The golden age
00:15:25.120 is coming so
00:15:25.800 fast.
00:15:27.460 It's a few
00:15:28.740 years from
00:15:29.160 now, you're
00:15:29.500 going to look
00:15:29.780 back and say,
00:15:30.900 all that
00:15:32.380 happened?
00:15:33.960 In five years,
00:15:35.160 you're going to
00:15:35.460 look back, and
00:15:36.060 you will be
00:15:36.680 amazed how
00:15:38.580 different things
00:15:39.260 are in
00:15:40.420 positive ways.
00:15:42.320 Examples?
00:15:43.220 Sure.
00:15:44.240 In five years,
00:15:45.320 we're going
00:15:45.940 to be rolling
00:15:46.420 out modular
00:15:48.540 nuclear reactors,
00:15:50.100 which will
00:15:51.720 largely be a
00:15:52.440 solution to
00:15:53.120 climate change.
00:15:54.240 I told you
00:15:54.900 about an
00:15:55.300 invention that
00:15:56.260 it's a,
00:15:56.980 apparently some
00:15:58.540 plentiful,
00:15:59.360 normal material
00:16:00.120 you can put
00:16:00.740 together that
00:16:01.980 will absorb
00:16:02.560 moisture out
00:16:03.520 of a desert
00:16:04.040 sky and
00:16:05.320 create drinking
00:16:05.980 water in
00:16:06.600 plentiful supply.
00:16:08.280 It just sits
00:16:08.920 there, just
00:16:09.380 sort of absorbing
00:16:10.580 and sprinkling
00:16:11.500 into your can,
00:16:12.240 I guess.
00:16:13.120 So you
00:16:13.540 can basically
00:16:14.060 create water
00:16:14.960 around nothing.
00:16:16.720 Bill Gates
00:16:17.360 is creating
00:16:17.860 toilets that
00:16:18.600 you don't
00:16:19.000 even need
00:16:19.560 sewage
00:16:20.820 connections to,
00:16:21.920 I think.
00:16:26.060 Housing will 0.87
00:16:26.940 be completely
00:16:27.560 revamped.
00:16:29.500 Transportation
00:16:30.060 will be
00:16:31.080 self-driving
00:16:32.660 cars.
00:16:34.140 AI will
00:16:34.780 change things
00:16:35.400 in ways you
00:16:35.920 can't even
00:16:36.300 believe.
00:16:37.540 Think about
00:16:38.260 how hard it
00:16:38.920 is just to
00:16:39.440 eat.
00:16:40.920 Like, we're
00:16:41.340 having problems
00:16:41.920 with our supply
00:16:42.820 chain and stuff,
00:16:43.560 but it'll be
00:16:44.380 fine.
00:16:45.420 Supply chain
00:16:45.940 will be
00:16:46.160 fine.
00:16:46.900 Overall, it'll
00:16:47.780 be fine.
00:16:49.080 And even
00:16:51.140 stuff like
00:16:51.700 California's
00:16:52.440 drought, as
00:16:54.060 devastating as
00:16:55.300 it is,
00:16:56.840 probably is
00:16:57.680 something we
00:16:58.220 could work
00:16:58.680 out if we
00:16:59.420 tried hard
00:16:59.900 enough.
00:17:00.740 For example,
00:17:02.280 running for
00:17:02.800 governor is
00:17:03.620 Michael
00:17:04.340 Schellenberger,
00:17:05.760 who would
00:17:06.420 be far more,
00:17:08.360 you know, I'm
00:17:09.100 going to say
00:17:09.340 progressive.
00:17:09.860 I'm not
00:17:11.720 sure it's the
00:17:12.100 right use of
00:17:12.540 the word in
00:17:12.900 this case.
00:17:13.820 But far
00:17:14.360 more, let's
00:17:15.100 say, forward
00:17:15.700 thinking in
00:17:16.340 terms of
00:17:16.700 investing in
00:17:17.560 the infrastructure
00:17:18.480 in the
00:17:18.820 state.
00:17:20.360 Because he's
00:17:20.980 not locked
00:17:21.660 into some
00:17:22.740 real political
00:17:23.560 jail that
00:17:25.580 other people
00:17:26.020 are in.
00:17:27.100 So, well,
00:17:29.240 you need
00:17:29.640 somebody like
00:17:30.160 a Michael
00:17:30.480 Schellenberger to
00:17:31.780 be solutions
00:17:32.980 focused.
00:17:34.000 Because I think
00:17:34.460 we're politically
00:17:35.080 focused in
00:17:35.980 California.
00:17:36.580 That's our
00:17:36.880 problem.
00:17:37.160 But basically
00:17:39.160 everything's
00:17:39.700 getting better.
00:17:41.100 It's just that
00:17:41.800 there will be
00:17:42.300 pockets of
00:17:42.980 things that
00:17:43.440 we'll focus
00:17:44.000 on over and
00:17:45.380 over again.
00:17:46.060 What about
00:17:46.560 the Ukraine-Russia
00:17:48.040 war?
00:17:49.460 Do you think
00:17:49.980 that's going to
00:17:50.740 escalate into a
00:17:51.720 nuclear war?
00:17:52.840 Or do you think
00:17:53.360 the worst risk
00:17:54.420 is already over?
00:17:56.020 It's probably
00:17:56.740 already over.
00:17:58.500 It was our
00:17:59.520 biggest problem,
00:18:00.920 and it just
00:18:01.460 sort of, I
00:18:02.680 don't know,
00:18:03.700 fizzled.
00:18:05.060 Now, if you're
00:18:06.040 in Ukraine, it's
00:18:06.920 still the biggest
00:18:07.420 problem in the
00:18:07.880 world.
00:18:08.780 But it didn't
00:18:09.720 boil into a
00:18:11.080 world war.
00:18:13.160 Somebody says,
00:18:14.000 next China.
00:18:15.000 Why are we
00:18:15.820 focused on
00:18:16.520 Taiwan and
00:18:17.500 China? 0.73
00:18:19.140 Because we
00:18:20.100 focus on
00:18:20.720 whatever is the
00:18:21.300 worst possible
00:18:21.980 thing.
00:18:23.160 If I check
00:18:24.040 back in 10
00:18:24.700 years, probably
00:18:27.480 the world did
00:18:28.840 not end because
00:18:29.780 of anything that
00:18:30.440 happened with
00:18:31.720 China and
00:18:32.800 Taiwan.
00:18:33.420 Probably.
00:18:34.460 Probably somehow
00:18:35.420 we figured out
00:18:36.380 a way to get
00:18:37.900 by.
00:18:38.620 Now, that
00:18:39.020 doesn't mean
00:18:39.400 that you
00:18:39.680 won't have
00:18:40.020 more devastations
00:18:41.040 like, you
00:18:42.180 know, Ukraine
00:18:42.660 is being
00:18:43.020 devastated.
00:18:44.340 But those,
00:18:46.820 unfortunately,
00:18:47.320 from an
00:18:47.700 historical point
00:18:48.560 of view, are
00:18:49.100 smallish compared
00:18:51.300 to the past.
00:18:53.160 When the news
00:18:54.620 reports on the
00:18:55.380 casualties in
00:18:56.240 Ukraine, have
00:18:57.100 you noticed
00:18:57.540 this?
00:18:58.460 That when they
00:18:59.020 talk about the
00:18:59.740 civilian casualties
00:19:00.960 in Ukraine,
00:19:02.560 they're a little
00:19:04.440 bit quiet about
00:19:05.580 it.
00:19:06.260 Do you know
00:19:06.580 why?
00:19:08.280 Why is the
00:19:09.220 news unusually
00:19:10.420 quiet about the
00:19:12.340 civilian casualties
00:19:13.560 in Ukraine?
00:19:16.820 Because there are
00:19:17.660 very few.
00:19:19.100 That's right.
00:19:22.300 Does anybody
00:19:23.140 even know the
00:19:23.660 number?
00:19:24.920 I can tell you
00:19:25.780 how many Russian
00:19:26.460 soldiers allegedly
00:19:27.780 were killed.
00:19:29.200 Can't you?
00:19:29.640 Watch this.
00:19:31.380 How many Russian
00:19:32.300 soldiers were
00:19:33.180 allegedly killed
00:19:34.180 according to
00:19:34.720 Ukraine and
00:19:35.480 U.S. sources?
00:19:36.420 We don't know
00:19:36.820 that it's true.
00:19:37.900 How many?
00:19:39.000 Watch.
00:19:39.920 Watch in the
00:19:41.040 answers how many
00:19:41.740 people know the
00:19:42.420 answer to that
00:19:42.920 question.
00:19:43.980 How many Russian
00:19:44.860 soldiers were
00:19:45.420 in Ukraine?
00:19:46.280 The answer is
00:19:46.840 around 30,000.
00:19:48.900 Now, that's a
00:19:49.680 number that people
00:19:51.180 who follow the
00:19:52.360 news probably
00:19:53.020 have in the
00:19:53.560 back of their
00:19:53.940 head.
00:19:55.400 How many
00:19:56.180 Americans died 1.00
00:19:57.880 in Vietnam?
00:19:59.640 just Americans.
00:20:03.100 It's around 50,000,
00:20:04.520 right?
00:20:07.180 And how many
00:20:08.280 Russian soldiers
00:20:10.380 died in the
00:20:11.220 entire Afghanistan 0.83
00:20:12.360 war in Russia?
00:20:17.800 The Russian or 0.65
00:20:19.400 Soviet invasion of
00:20:20.900 Afghanistan.
00:20:22.720 That was somewhere
00:20:25.020 in that neighborhood
00:20:25.660 of 30,000 or so,
00:20:26.880 right?
00:20:28.260 So, now, here's
00:20:31.060 the next question.
00:20:32.520 So, that's the
00:20:33.380 size of these wars.
00:20:34.900 Now, how many
00:20:35.620 Ukrainian civilians
00:20:38.160 have died so far
00:20:39.560 in the Russia-Ukraine
00:20:41.320 conflict?
00:20:43.960 And do you know
00:20:46.020 those numbers,
00:20:46.880 or are you guessing?
00:20:48.440 I see a few
00:20:49.300 guesses here.
00:20:51.100 Somebody says
00:20:51.860 hundreds.
00:20:52.720 Somebody said
00:20:53.340 200,
00:20:55.140 1,000.
00:20:56.480 All right, but
00:20:56.940 here's the thing.
00:20:58.600 You don't know,
00:20:59.740 do you?
00:21:00.320 You don't know.
00:21:02.360 Now, compare that.
00:21:03.880 So, it's probably
00:21:04.520 in the low
00:21:05.120 thousands,
00:21:06.200 if you had to
00:21:07.160 guess.
00:21:08.380 Or is it even
00:21:09.220 hundreds?
00:21:10.120 I don't know.
00:21:11.160 I mean, maybe more
00:21:12.040 people will starve,
00:21:13.100 ultimately,
00:21:13.880 unfortunately,
00:21:15.320 than got killed
00:21:16.400 directly.
00:21:16.740 But think about the
00:21:19.560 fact that you don't
00:21:20.120 know that.
00:21:20.540 The reason you
00:21:21.820 don't know that
00:21:22.600 is that whoever
00:21:23.720 is controlling
00:21:24.560 how you think
00:21:25.260 about it doesn't
00:21:25.920 want you to know
00:21:26.620 that this is a
00:21:28.800 very civilian,
00:21:31.740 I'm not going to
00:21:32.420 say friendly,
00:21:33.140 because they
00:21:33.480 destroyed their
00:21:34.080 entire country,
00:21:34.880 they have nothing
00:21:35.320 to go back to,
00:21:36.620 but it's unusually
00:21:39.260 low number of
00:21:40.460 civilian casualties,
00:21:41.560 isn't it?
00:21:43.200 Or maybe we just
00:21:44.280 don't know.
00:21:45.240 It's possible.
00:21:46.860 All right, now,
00:21:47.440 how many people
00:21:48.100 died in World War II?
00:21:50.540 Right, so now we
00:21:51.700 know that this war
00:21:52.440 was in that 30,000
00:21:53.720 Russians, a few 0.99
00:21:54.800 thousand Ukrainian
00:21:55.900 civilians, probably
00:21:57.560 15,000 or so
00:21:59.020 Ukrainian military.
00:22:01.680 Yeah, World War II
00:22:02.740 was about 60 million.
00:22:07.440 That was World War II.
00:22:09.420 So in my father's
00:22:10.880 lifetime, in my
00:22:13.280 father's lifetime, it
00:22:15.140 was, and who knows
00:22:17.640 how well they can
00:22:18.220 even count it, 60
00:22:19.840 million in one war.
00:22:23.940 Now compare that to
00:22:25.000 Ukraine, and Ukraine
00:22:26.020 looks like, it looks
00:22:27.180 like we've figured
00:22:27.900 out war, doesn't it?
00:22:29.380 If you were to look
00:22:30.100 at it from the
00:22:30.760 largest perspective
00:22:31.700 of history, you know,
00:22:33.260 dispassionately, you'd
00:22:35.040 say, whoa, these
00:22:35.900 human beings, they
00:22:38.460 were making, their
00:22:39.120 wars were getting
00:22:39.820 bigger and bigger and
00:22:40.700 bigger, and then they
00:22:41.880 realized, oh, shoot,
00:22:42.960 this isn't working.
00:22:44.200 And then after that,
00:22:45.120 their wars started
00:22:46.420 trending smaller.
00:22:48.440 And now each war
00:22:49.540 seems, even our
00:22:50.920 biggest war now,
00:22:51.900 seems smaller than
00:22:52.780 our smallest wars
00:22:53.760 used to be.
00:22:56.180 So it looks like a
00:22:57.460 long-term trend
00:22:58.280 toward less war, at
00:23:00.220 least less war at
00:23:01.160 scale.
00:23:02.000 There may be more
00:23:03.260 skirmishes, but 0.60
00:23:04.240 fewer.
00:23:04.560 Well, now we do
00:23:07.580 have fentanyl, yes.
00:23:08.540 Fentanyl is definitely
00:23:09.420 trending in the wrong
00:23:10.460 direction.
00:23:16.520 Somebody says, let's
00:23:17.460 solve the man-woman 1.00
00:23:18.880 relationship fail.
00:23:20.120 Well, I'll tell you
00:23:20.740 one thing that's going
00:23:21.440 to have to change, is
00:23:22.980 that we're locked
00:23:23.760 into a certain way
00:23:25.060 that relationships
00:23:25.940 should be.
00:23:27.760 You know, one man,
00:23:28.780 one woman, have a 0.91
00:23:30.600 family.
00:23:31.360 And I think that's
00:23:32.220 the best solution for
00:23:33.660 lots and lots of
00:23:34.560 people.
00:23:36.180 But there are
00:23:38.280 going to be hundreds
00:23:38.960 of millions of
00:23:39.560 people for whom
00:23:40.300 that doesn't work
00:23:41.040 at all.
00:23:42.320 So, yeah, there's
00:23:43.200 going to have to be
00:23:43.860 some other kind of
00:23:44.820 solution for social
00:23:46.740 life and sex and
00:23:48.020 all that.
00:23:49.160 I don't know what
00:23:49.660 it's going to be.
00:23:50.740 But there's no way
00:23:51.840 that the current
00:23:52.480 system is sustainable,
00:23:54.060 which doesn't mean
00:23:55.080 that we'll all die.
00:23:56.140 It just means we'll
00:23:56.820 evolve to some
00:23:57.520 better system.
00:23:58.120 Elon Musk tweeted.
00:24:04.700 He said, often when
00:24:06.580 we announce something,
00:24:07.660 we hear simultaneous
00:24:08.520 criticism that it's
00:24:10.420 already been done,
00:24:12.180 already been done,
00:24:13.400 but also that it's
00:24:14.360 impossible.
00:24:15.960 Have you ever heard
00:24:16.780 me say that?
00:24:19.820 I'm just wondering
00:24:20.760 if you've ever heard
00:24:21.440 me say that.
00:24:21.980 Yeah, I can't
00:24:28.060 remember if I ever
00:24:28.720 made a Dilbert comic
00:24:29.620 about it.
00:24:30.620 Maybe somebody
00:24:31.100 remembers.
00:24:31.920 Because I know I've
00:24:32.540 talked about it a
00:24:33.540 number of times in
00:24:34.460 public.
00:24:38.260 Yeah, so some of
00:24:39.880 you were saying
00:24:40.260 you've heard me say
00:24:41.460 it.
00:24:43.000 And I wonder if
00:24:43.860 this is just the
00:24:44.700 general experience
00:24:46.660 of everybody who
00:24:47.560 creates stuff.
00:24:49.100 Like anybody who
00:24:49.860 has ideas in public.
00:24:51.980 this pattern is
00:24:53.420 just so consistent.
00:24:55.240 It can't be done.
00:24:56.520 And also somebody
00:24:57.440 already did it.
00:24:59.520 Every time.
00:25:01.640 So I guess he
00:25:03.800 has the same
00:25:04.220 experience.
00:25:06.080 Axios is
00:25:07.740 reporting that
00:25:08.460 teleworking is
00:25:09.720 moving back to
00:25:11.500 the office.
00:25:12.760 So you know that
00:25:13.620 big permanent shift
00:25:14.780 we imagined?
00:25:16.700 Turns out that's
00:25:17.800 not happening.
00:25:19.580 For all the
00:25:20.940 reasons you'd
00:25:21.480 imagine.
00:25:21.980 So only 7.4%
00:25:24.040 of American
00:25:24.500 workers are
00:25:25.080 teleworking because
00:25:26.400 of COVID at this
00:25:27.640 point.
00:25:28.240 Down from a
00:25:28.960 pandemic era high
00:25:29.900 of around 35%.
00:25:31.060 Now that's only the
00:25:31.960 ones teleworking
00:25:33.260 because of COVID.
00:25:34.760 It's not all the
00:25:35.500 teleworkers.
00:25:38.960 And one
00:25:39.680 University of
00:25:40.440 Chicago study,
00:25:41.420 and this is all
00:25:41.860 in Axios today,
00:25:43.880 found that remote
00:25:45.440 workers put in
00:25:46.940 longer hours but
00:25:48.040 were less
00:25:48.480 productive.
00:25:49.460 What do you think
00:25:49.960 that?
00:25:50.280 Do you think that
00:25:51.360 people working at
00:25:52.100 home, and remember
00:25:53.880 that kids and
00:25:54.540 animals are at home
00:25:55.460 and spouses, do you
00:25:57.720 think that working
00:25:58.980 at home people put
00:26:00.460 in more hours but
00:26:01.340 they're less
00:26:01.860 productive?
00:26:02.340 Yes.
00:26:06.740 I'm going to say that's a
00:26:08.600 big yes.
00:26:09.960 Now it definitely
00:26:10.880 depends on your
00:26:11.680 specific situation
00:26:13.000 and specific job.
00:26:15.160 If you didn't have any
00:26:16.480 distractions at home,
00:26:18.160 and you're the kind of
00:26:18.940 person who can really
00:26:19.680 concentrate, then home
00:26:21.520 would be better.
00:26:23.400 But for most of us,
00:26:25.320 I find it almost
00:26:26.560 impossible to work at
00:26:28.180 home.
00:26:28.440 The reason I have
00:26:30.900 to get up four
00:26:31.740 hours before my
00:26:32.940 dog and the rest of
00:26:34.220 anybody else who lives
00:26:35.120 in my house, and
00:26:35.740 always have, is
00:26:37.420 because otherwise I
00:26:38.120 would never get
00:26:38.560 anything done.
00:26:39.960 Do you know that
00:26:41.260 all day long people
00:26:42.300 create emergencies that
00:26:43.640 only I can fix?
00:26:46.940 Does anybody else have
00:26:48.020 that experience?
00:26:49.580 All day long, people
00:26:51.260 are generating
00:26:52.000 emergencies that only I
00:26:53.820 can fix.
00:26:54.380 And they all have
00:26:56.540 some kind of weird
00:26:57.100 time element to them
00:26:58.440 that doesn't seem to
00:27:00.220 be true for any
00:27:01.020 problem I ever have.
00:27:02.740 I rarely am forcing
00:27:04.460 other people to solve
00:27:06.420 my problem.
00:27:08.020 Although I have to
00:27:08.720 admit, I did do that
00:27:09.600 a number of times this
00:27:10.480 past week, because I
00:27:11.900 had more problems than
00:27:12.760 usual, and I did get
00:27:14.120 help.
00:27:16.380 But typically,
00:27:18.880 oh, examples?
00:27:19.720 Examples would be,
00:27:22.060 I'll just make one up.
00:27:23.480 This is not real.
00:27:25.380 This is the sort of
00:27:26.300 thing that happens all
00:27:27.020 day long.
00:27:28.940 I hear water leaking
00:27:31.480 somewhere.
00:27:33.160 Well, what are you
00:27:33.900 going to do?
00:27:35.060 You're not going to say
00:27:35.980 I'll get to it later.
00:27:37.900 I hear water leaking
00:27:39.280 in your house.
00:27:40.660 Do you know how many
00:27:41.100 times somebody's come
00:27:41.980 into my work environment
00:27:43.260 to tell me there's a
00:27:44.540 gas leak, a fire,
00:27:45.860 smoke, a water leak?
00:27:48.840 It's just all day long. 0.99
00:27:51.020 It's just one fucking 1.00
00:27:52.240 thing after another. 1.00
00:27:53.060 My phone rings, my
00:27:55.700 people are knocking on
00:27:57.300 my door to tell me
00:27:58.120 about my water leaks.
00:28:00.060 All the time.
00:28:02.180 Just that one little
00:28:03.440 problem, just water
00:28:04.700 leaks.
00:28:05.760 It's just all day long.
00:28:08.280 Did you know there's
00:28:09.040 water running into the
00:28:10.080 street?
00:28:12.320 Yeah, I'll look into it.
00:28:13.500 Did you know that your
00:28:16.340 tree fell down in your
00:28:17.320 front yard?
00:28:19.380 Yeah, I knew that.
00:28:21.960 I'll look into it.
00:28:23.620 Did you know that
00:28:24.900 there's somebody looking
00:28:26.000 suspicious in front of
00:28:27.420 your house?
00:28:28.420 I didn't know that.
00:28:30.120 But now I know that.
00:28:31.760 And now I've got to stop
00:28:32.720 anything and look into
00:28:33.560 it.
00:28:34.140 And almost all of these
00:28:35.320 things are, you have to
00:28:36.480 look immediately.
00:28:37.100 Or there's a king, there's
00:28:40.520 a king snake by the front
00:28:42.760 door.
00:28:44.220 What do you do?
00:28:45.660 You say, oh, that'll take
00:28:46.560 care of itself.
00:28:48.000 It did, you know.
00:28:49.540 But still, you don't really
00:28:50.700 just ignore that stuff.
00:28:52.120 So if you work at home,
00:28:53.420 you're losing flow all day
00:28:55.580 long.
00:28:56.040 And if you have any kind of
00:28:56.820 a creative or programming
00:28:58.140 job where you need to get
00:28:59.680 into a zone and stay there,
00:29:01.600 I could probably do that
00:29:02.700 better at work in a cubicle.
00:29:04.380 Because the cubicle has so
00:29:07.560 much boringness, you might
00:29:08.700 as well work.
00:29:11.040 But home is just nothing
00:29:12.800 but distraction.
00:29:15.220 All right.
00:29:19.020 CNN has a little bit of a
00:29:20.800 cats on the roof element to
00:29:24.060 it here.
00:29:25.320 And once again, I would like
00:29:26.900 to point out that, and I'll
00:29:29.620 ask you if you think this is
00:29:30.940 true.
00:29:31.860 Am I the first person you
00:29:33.420 heard say this?
00:29:34.380 So now this is, this is now
00:29:36.100 part of CNN's site where
00:29:38.100 CNN is saying about the
00:29:39.800 leaked opinion on abortion
00:29:42.020 that we expect to be law
00:29:44.360 or an opinion from the
00:29:46.380 court.
00:29:49.560 So CNN says that supporters
00:29:51.540 of abortion rights are
00:29:52.780 clinging to the fact that
00:29:54.260 Alito's opinion was a draft
00:29:56.780 and hope it only reflects an
00:29:58.860 opening salvo written after
00:30:01.000 the justice cast initial votes
00:30:03.220 at conference and that votes
00:30:06.940 and that votes can change
00:30:08.680 during deliberations.
00:30:10.980 Sometimes majority opinions
00:30:12.600 fizzle into concurrences or
00:30:14.340 even dissents.
00:30:16.080 Other justices could be, here's
00:30:18.140 the part specifically, other
00:30:19.960 justices could be simultaneously
00:30:21.820 working on separate opinions,
00:30:24.240 hoping to pick off votes from
00:30:26.440 Alito's draft or to weaken the
00:30:28.400 thrust of his opinion.
00:30:30.720 Now, I think the smart money
00:30:34.460 still says that the opinion
00:30:37.000 will be just what you think it
00:30:38.540 will be.
00:30:39.160 You know, the leak.
00:30:40.820 But I am the first person you
00:30:42.380 probably heard say, a draft isn't
00:30:45.220 what you think it is.
00:30:47.380 That the nature of drafts is that
00:30:49.600 it's part of a process of figuring
00:30:51.700 out what you think.
00:30:52.740 It's not always the result of what
00:30:54.540 you think.
00:30:55.780 And that at their level of
00:30:57.160 operation, you know, by the time
00:30:59.200 you get to the Supreme Court
00:31:00.300 and you've got clerks who can
00:31:02.420 write stuff for you, etc.,
00:31:04.000 writing it down is just part of
00:31:05.720 the thinking and through part.
00:31:07.160 Because you don't want to have an
00:31:08.520 opinion and then when you go to
00:31:10.620 write it down, it doesn't work
00:31:12.040 on paper.
00:31:14.060 Because that's a thing.
00:31:15.660 And anybody who's done any
00:31:17.060 complicated opinions knows it's a
00:31:18.660 thing.
00:31:18.840 If you can't write it down in a
00:31:22.260 way that it makes sense on paper,
00:31:24.020 you didn't have it figured out
00:31:25.720 yet.
00:31:27.000 So it's part of the process.
00:31:29.280 So what do you think?
00:31:30.320 Is there any possibility whatsoever
00:31:32.600 that the court will either pull
00:31:35.840 back or it was never really a
00:31:37.780 finalized decision?
00:31:39.120 Do you think there's any chance
00:31:40.260 that it won't be?
00:31:47.100 What do you think?
00:31:49.800 Yeah, opinions are not law.
00:31:51.700 That's true.
00:31:55.280 This is how the court works.
00:31:57.060 Your take is not unique.
00:31:59.100 Now, I wouldn't, I'm not going to
00:32:00.760 say my take was unique.
00:32:02.580 But as a public figure, I think I'm
00:32:05.800 the first person who warned you,
00:32:07.840 don't take a draft seriously.
00:32:11.040 Now, I will admit that the news did
00:32:13.740 report that a draft is not the same
00:32:16.440 thing as an opinion, so it could
00:32:17.800 change, right?
00:32:19.100 But I think I put a little more
00:32:21.840 weight into that opinion that a draft
00:32:24.320 should not be trusted.
00:32:26.300 Anyway, I only tell you these things
00:32:28.540 because the nature of this live stream
00:32:32.220 is I try to make predictions.
00:32:34.240 So if I get one right or if I get one wrong,
00:32:37.720 I try to pause and tell you about it.
00:32:41.620 And your job is to make sure I don't
00:32:44.660 forget if I get one wrong.
00:32:47.180 So that's where you have to remind me.
00:32:49.260 So, you know, it'll be too embarrassing
00:32:51.020 if it's going by in the comments and I
00:32:52.680 don't mention it.
00:32:53.300 There's an interesting story about what
00:33:04.080 Putin thinks about the United States,
00:33:06.520 which doesn't mean that he's right.
00:33:08.840 Okay?
00:33:09.100 Everybody's got their version of events.
00:33:11.700 But Putin's version of events is that
00:33:13.400 from the first moment he was coming to
00:33:16.040 power, and really from the fall of the
00:33:18.260 Soviet Union, that the United States was
00:33:20.620 working hard to destroy Russia or to 0.97
00:33:22.860 degrade it.
00:33:24.360 Do you think that's true?
00:33:26.900 First of all, do you think Putin's
00:33:28.560 characterization that the United States
00:33:30.540 and probably Europe were actively trying
00:33:34.960 to just grind Russia into the dirt? 0.83
00:33:38.200 I would say yes.
00:33:40.400 And it seems to have continued at least
00:33:42.540 through the Clinton administration and
00:33:44.400 at least through the Obama administration.
00:33:47.120 It does look like the United States was
00:33:48.980 trying to grind Russia into oblivion. 0.96
00:33:53.120 Now, suppose, instead of doing these
00:33:59.260 weird resets, you know, where in public
00:34:01.800 you say, you know, like Obama and Hillary
00:34:05.360 tried to do, you know, hey, let's be
00:34:07.700 friends instead of being enemies.
00:34:09.820 I feel like one of the things you would
00:34:11.580 have to do before you could do that is
00:34:14.480 to give Putin a complete stage to let him
00:34:19.840 complain about the United States has done
00:34:21.740 to Russia so far.
00:34:24.120 Which doesn't mean we excuse everything
00:34:25.940 he's done, because, you know, we should
00:34:27.620 put that out there, too.
00:34:29.180 But I feel as if we ever wanted to get on
00:34:32.200 the other side of this, as in ever find a
00:34:35.760 way to work with Putin, and maybe he's just
00:34:38.100 the devil and there's no way to do it.
00:34:39.620 I don't rule that out.
00:34:40.600 But, you know, I'm a reasonable person who
00:34:43.360 knows there are just some people who keep
00:34:45.640 pushing as long as they can push, and that's
00:34:47.820 really all there is to it.
00:34:49.680 But if you thought that any of this has to
00:34:53.120 do with how he feels mistreated or that he
00:34:56.500 feels continuously attacked by the West,
00:35:00.800 wouldn't it be interesting to let him tell
00:35:02.740 us what our country has been doing to Russia
00:35:05.660 for the last 30 years?
00:35:08.400 Wouldn't you want to know that?
00:35:09.420 Because he has some pretty interesting
00:35:11.540 theories, some of it's probably true, about
00:35:15.480 what the U.S. has done to him.
00:35:17.900 Now, it wouldn't mean anything out of
00:35:19.620 context, because we would also need to know
00:35:21.540 what he did to us, blah, blah, blah.
00:35:24.320 Right?
00:35:24.800 So, if it sounds like I'm taking Putin's
00:35:27.500 side, nothing like that's happening.
00:35:29.860 Right?
00:35:30.360 Just to hear that clearly.
00:35:31.800 I'm not taking Putin's side about anything.
00:35:33.900 I'm saying that if you wanted to get past 0.64
00:35:35.940 whatever this is that causes us not to be
00:35:39.160 able to work with them.
00:35:40.080 Not right at the moment, it's Ukraine.
00:35:41.620 But in the long, long term, I think you'd
00:35:45.160 want to hear what he has to say.
00:35:47.220 And if you can't listen to it, well, then
00:35:50.220 maybe you shouldn't trust your own government
00:35:52.220 as much as they'd like you to.
00:35:55.340 So, now there's another report about the
00:36:01.040 Ukrainian forces counterattacking and taking
00:36:04.220 back some town I never heard of from Russian
00:36:07.400 forces.
00:36:08.800 Have we reached the point in the Ukraine-Russia
00:36:12.080 conflict where everybody can be everybody?
00:36:16.680 Because it looks like that's what the status quo
00:36:19.620 will look like.
00:36:20.640 Let me say it again.
00:36:21.360 It will be the side where, when you talk about
00:36:24.860 Russia versus Ukraine, both sides can beat both
00:36:28.200 sides anywhere.
00:36:29.960 But it's only because everything will be too
00:36:32.980 lightly defended.
00:36:35.060 Russia will not have enough forces to defend every 0.94
00:36:38.580 kind of offense or counteroffensive that the
00:36:42.000 Ukrainians will do, right? 0.98
00:36:43.700 So, in theory, shouldn't you see Ukraine putting, like,
00:36:46.640 extra forces in one place?
00:36:48.500 Because they retake a town that Russia held. 0.77
00:36:51.740 Then Russia says, hey, we don't like that.
00:36:54.260 And then they amass some forces and they take
00:36:56.460 back that town.
00:36:57.680 But in the meantime, Ukraine has found another 0.97
00:36:59.980 lightly defended town and they retook it.
00:37:02.860 And then Russia says, hey, I guess we'd better move
00:37:05.620 some forces from this one.
00:37:07.240 So, have they not achieved permanent whack-a-mole
00:37:11.520 status?
00:37:13.160 Meaning that both sides can beat both sides
00:37:15.300 everywhere, at least in that, you know, that, let's
00:37:20.000 say that the eastern region that's taking it.
00:37:22.380 I see somebody say no, but give me why.
00:37:28.360 You don't think that Ukraine could retake any
00:37:32.820 smallish place it wanted if it wanted to put its
00:37:35.120 resources there?
00:37:36.060 It just couldn't hold it.
00:37:37.440 And Russia could take it back and wouldn't be able to 0.85
00:37:41.620 hold it.
00:37:44.240 So, I see a lot of people say no.
00:37:46.400 And I don't think that you're wrong.
00:37:49.560 Don't think you're wrong.
00:37:52.140 But I do think that I'm going to stick with my
00:37:55.300 prediction that there's going to be a whole lot of
00:37:58.520 taking towns and losing towns and taking towns back.
00:38:01.140 Because nobody's going to put enough forces in there
00:38:03.740 to keep it permanently.
00:38:05.100 And nobody's going to stop fighting, it looks like.
00:38:07.100 So, I guess they're just going to whack-a-mole for a 0.99
00:38:10.020 while.
00:38:11.920 All right.
00:38:14.680 Well, it was a very light news day.
00:38:18.840 And so, the best I could do is tell you that other
00:38:21.060 people have worse problems than you do, sometimes.
00:38:24.680 The world is actually trending in the right direction.
00:38:27.020 The odds of a nuclear war with Russia, I think, are at
00:38:30.900 the lowest point they've been in a while.
00:38:33.360 I mean, at least in the last several weeks.
00:38:39.020 I'm not really seeing North Korea complain too much.
00:38:45.480 I do see the economy of the United States still has
00:38:50.040 strong employment.
00:38:51.360 When we have our predicted recession in the first
00:38:56.040 quarter, have you noticed all the smart people are
00:38:59.080 saying there's going to be a recession in the first
00:39:00.720 quarter?
00:39:02.020 Now, recessions are painful for, you know, people at the
00:39:06.240 lowest rung of the economic ladder, of course.
00:39:10.360 But they're also, unfortunately, necessary.
00:39:13.260 They're cruel but necessary.
00:39:15.540 The recessions are just resets.
00:39:17.640 It's sort of cleaning out the system and gets rid of some
00:39:21.420 inefficiencies.
00:39:22.120 Yeah, it's literally necessary.
00:39:26.060 It's like forest fires.
00:39:28.360 Yeah, we don't like a forest fire, but you have to have
00:39:31.460 them.
00:39:32.000 You know, it cleans out the forest and stuff like
00:39:33.800 that.
00:39:34.580 So, I think we're in this weird situation where we're in the
00:39:40.900 maintenance part of a, you know, long-term cycle and the
00:39:45.400 maintenance part's no fun because we like the bubble part.
00:39:48.100 But the bubble part will be back.
00:39:51.160 We just have to do, I don't know, four to five years of
00:39:54.800 maintenance.
00:39:57.300 So, I wouldn't be, well, I'm not going to give you any
00:40:00.200 financial advice.
00:40:01.500 But I'll tell you what I'm doing.
00:40:03.580 I'm not going to sell any stocks for four or five years.
00:40:10.040 Now, let me ask you this.
00:40:12.060 Is crypto here to stay now that it had such a meltdown?
00:40:23.060 I see yeses and nos.
00:40:25.080 People saying yes are probably the people who own some crypto.
00:40:30.300 Let me ask you this.
00:40:31.580 What would happen if a government, let's say our
00:40:35.100 government, decided to do a government guarantee of your
00:40:42.200 balance like the FDIC does for banks?
00:40:45.500 So, how much does the bank insure, the government insure of
00:40:50.420 your bank?
00:40:51.240 $250,000?
00:40:53.940 $200,000.
00:40:55.040 I think it's $250,000.
00:40:56.400 Yeah, $250,000.
00:40:57.480 So, imagine if the United States government said, if you use a
00:41:03.800 certain kind of wallet, maybe they'd have to limit it to what
00:41:07.840 kind of wallet you use.
00:41:09.020 But if you use a certain kind of wallet, they would guarantee your
00:41:14.500 losses in crypto, just like they do for banks.
00:41:18.040 But maybe the only thing they guarantee is not that somebody
00:41:20.880 steals it from you.
00:41:21.820 Maybe that's still your problem.
00:41:23.100 But that crypto, I don't know, the blockchain doesn't fall apart or have
00:41:29.300 some kind of systemic failure, I guess.
00:41:33.240 I don't know.
00:41:33.600 Would that make any difference?
00:41:38.960 Somebody says, get out of here, Satan, with your government regulations.
00:41:42.600 You're probably right about that.
00:41:46.440 It would ruin it.
00:41:48.200 Could be.
00:41:48.840 But I'll tell you what keeps me from having more crypto.
00:41:54.260 I don't trust myself holding too much crypto.
00:41:58.300 Do you?
00:42:00.460 I feel like I trust myself to put money in the stock market or even a bank.
00:42:06.760 But I don't trust myself to navigate a crypto wallet sufficiently,
00:42:14.020 accurately enough that somebody wouldn't steal all of it.
00:42:20.400 So I would say that I'm personally way under-invested compared to what I would be
00:42:25.260 because I don't trust the technology.
00:42:27.400 Or let me say it a different way.
00:42:28.640 I don't trust myself using that technology.
00:42:32.020 It's beyond my risk level for just the interface.
00:42:36.660 Hard wallet, cold storage.
00:42:45.280 I mean, by the time you get into the good technology
00:42:47.800 and you actually know how to do it,
00:42:51.740 you've got to learn a lot to get to that point.
00:42:55.520 You're with Charlie Munger on crypto. 0.99
00:42:57.700 It's all just crap. 0.99
00:43:03.300 Young people do trust themselves. 0.99
00:43:04.960 But I think young people also don't have much to lose.
00:43:11.900 You know, I keep hearing the stories about the person who made a million dollars in crypto
00:43:18.100 and then wrote it and mortgaged some houses to buy some more,
00:43:23.220 only to find out it crashed.
00:43:26.760 But that makes sense if you're young, you can recover from it.
00:43:30.460 I mean, up to a point.
00:43:32.400 Would you ever move to another country?
00:43:34.960 Yes.
00:43:36.560 I wouldn't move to a country with a smaller military yet.
00:43:43.000 So it's no at the moment.
00:43:45.180 But the thing I worry the most is not being protected.
00:43:51.740 Yeah, Australia seems a little exposed out there.
00:43:54.020 I hate to say it, Australia, but I just look at the map, and I'm like,
00:44:00.340 you know, in the short run, Australia is fine, five, ten years.
00:44:06.400 In a hundred years, Australia is going to look like an island destination of China, I'm afraid.
00:44:14.200 Australia is the worst for freedom, somebody says.
00:44:26.200 Maybe so.
00:44:26.880 All right, I've got nothing else to say today, and I don't want to take your time, because you've got a great day coming up.
00:44:37.800 How many of you feel better because you attended coffee with Scott Adams?
00:44:44.600 How many of you feel a little bit better now than you did right at the beginning?
00:44:50.320 Yeah, yeah, you do.
00:44:52.020 A lot of you do.
00:44:52.740 Is there another Elon tweet, or do you want me to talk about the one I already talked about?
00:44:59.060 Oh, Mark, you have a birthday coming up?
00:45:01.040 All right.
00:45:03.320 Show rocks.
00:45:04.460 What's that mean?
00:45:06.220 Show rocks.
00:45:13.820 Always impressed by your ability to talk.
00:45:16.060 How many of you know that I once lost the ability to talk, and my greatest goal in life was to be able to do exactly what I'm doing right now,
00:45:32.080 which is to talk to you with a perfect voice, according to me.
00:45:38.240 So that was one of several incurable conditions that I cured.
00:45:42.460 By the way, I keep hearing from people that I have, in fact, cured the sneeze, and in at least one case, cured hiccups.
00:45:56.280 I did.
00:45:57.920 And the technique, if you haven't heard, is that if you're about to have a real sneeze, you just imagine that you had the real sneeze first.
00:46:06.800 And the imagining the sneeze can erase the actual one.
00:46:09.560 Because it's just a mental reflex to sneeze.
00:46:13.100 There's nothing in your nose that really needs to come out.
00:46:19.200 So of all the things that I've ever done in my life,
00:46:22.460 I don't think anything is more weird or wonderful than the fact that I cured the common sneeze.
00:46:29.140 Not every one, right?
00:46:30.580 I think some sneezes, you can't stop like that.
00:46:33.060 But that would be the weirdest thing that should be in my Wikipedia, but won't be.
00:46:39.900 Yeah.
00:46:40.720 So I cured shy bladder, cured spasmodic dysphonia, cured a focal dystonia once.
00:46:47.920 I got it back, but I still have to get rid of that.
00:46:51.220 And now the common sneeze.
00:46:54.400 That's a lot of cures.
00:46:55.420 I've cured obesity.
00:46:59.040 I've cured over-drinking.
00:47:01.040 I've cured high blood pressure.
00:47:03.200 I've cured pre-diabetes.
00:47:07.100 That's all true, by the way.
00:47:09.700 You know, when I jokingly say I have more cures than Jesus,
00:47:13.560 it's not that lots of people don't.
00:47:15.640 I mean, there are probably lots of people who wrote a book about, you know,
00:47:18.680 how to do something smarter and probably saved a lot of lives, too.
00:47:22.380 Probably every doctor has saved more lives than Jesus,
00:47:26.280 if you just add up the numbers.
00:47:28.400 So it's not that amazing.
00:47:31.120 But I have cured a number of incurable diseases for myself and for other people.
00:47:37.140 That's just true.
00:47:38.900 And it's the weirdest thing.
00:47:43.920 Cure anxiety and you will be God.
00:47:46.740 I have cured anxiety.
00:47:48.040 So, you have not heard of my anxiety cure?
00:47:55.500 You want to try it right now?
00:47:57.440 Does anybody have any anxiety right now that you'd like to be cured of?
00:48:04.160 Because I could do that.
00:48:07.540 All right, a number of you do.
00:48:08.940 So a number of you are feeling some general anxiety right now, right?
00:48:11.940 All right, listen to my voice.
00:48:16.020 And as I'm talking, watch how your anxiety will start to take care of itself.
00:48:23.520 It might happen quickly.
00:48:26.100 Or it might happen gradually.
00:48:28.260 Or it might happen in steps, where it looks like it's less than more than,
00:48:32.080 than way less than, a little bit more than way less.
00:48:35.320 Could go any of those directions.
00:48:38.080 But here's all you have to do.
00:48:39.440 Visualize yourself in a simulated environment.
00:48:46.380 That you're literally made of, you know, digits, just zeros and ones.
00:48:51.100 And just look at your actual environment.
00:48:53.760 Your walls, the furniture, the screen.
00:48:57.480 And just imagine that they're simulated.
00:49:02.020 And that you're in a game.
00:49:03.380 And the moment you can imagine yourself in the game,
00:49:08.820 you can also imagine yourself as not being very important,
00:49:11.760 because you're just software.
00:49:13.760 So what happens to you in this game doesn't really matter.
00:49:17.380 Because if something bad happens, you're reborn.
00:49:19.660 Because that's how games work.
00:49:21.040 And you're just software.
00:49:22.460 You're just zeros and ones.
00:49:24.500 Now just live in this imagined world.
00:49:27.760 It doesn't have to be real,
00:49:28.860 and you don't have to believe in the simulation.
00:49:30.740 It doesn't change your religion.
00:49:31.840 This is just a mental exercise.
00:49:35.440 The mental exercise is just imagine none of it's real.
00:49:39.160 You can do the same thing
00:49:40.640 by imagining that you're a tiny robot inside,
00:49:44.520 or you're a tiny person inside a huge robot.
00:49:47.640 And you're actually behind your eyes looking out.
00:49:51.420 And you picture yourself as this tiny little creature
00:49:54.040 inside a robot.
00:49:56.040 And then you tell the robot to move itself.
00:49:58.580 And then you watch it.
00:49:59.440 So you're telling yourself to move your hand,
00:50:02.120 and then you observe that it's moving.
00:50:05.400 Have you ever thought about how weird that is?
00:50:08.140 Do it.
00:50:09.360 Tell your brain to move your hand,
00:50:11.120 and then watch it happen.
00:50:14.060 How is this even happening?
00:50:16.380 How is it that my thought,
00:50:17.860 I mean, I know there's a nervous system,
00:50:20.400 and a brain, and all that,
00:50:21.440 but there's sort of a miracle to it
00:50:24.660 that I'm thinking it,
00:50:26.340 and it's happening in front of me.
00:50:28.860 And if you simply go through this exercise
00:50:31.220 of making your hand do something
00:50:33.340 and then watch it happen,
00:50:35.020 it takes all the other thoughts in the world
00:50:37.700 and compresses them into just this moment.
00:50:40.460 And all you're doing is just looking at your hand move.
00:50:43.960 What I'm doing is just taking my,
00:50:45.960 each digit and touching it to my thumb,
00:50:48.900 which is a little exercise I did once
00:50:50.920 when I lost my ability to draw.
00:50:53.900 And all those just keep you focused.
00:50:56.740 And keep telling yourself it's not happening on its own.
00:50:59.160 You're actually ordering each of these fingers to do that.
00:51:02.500 Now you're taking back complete control
00:51:04.540 of your mind-body connection.
00:51:06.340 And as you're doing it,
00:51:08.780 it doesn't matter what you're looking at,
00:51:10.980 just observe yourself.
00:51:12.740 Just watch yourself moving.
00:51:14.620 Know that you're telling yourself to do it.
00:51:16.940 And that you're a programmable object
00:51:19.220 in a programmable simulation.
00:51:22.640 And once you put yourself in that mind,
00:51:26.680 in the comments,
00:51:29.820 how many of you are already feeling
00:51:31.820 more relaxed?
00:51:34.360 How many of you already feel
00:51:37.820 that something has been lifted from your chest?
00:51:43.580 Now you see in the comments
00:51:44.920 a number of people are feeling it already.
00:51:47.560 Now the reason that I have people tell you
00:51:49.460 that they're feeling it
00:51:50.360 is that there is a social contagion element to it.
00:51:55.620 In the same way that other people
00:51:57.700 can make you happier or sadder or whatever
00:52:00.200 just by entering the room,
00:52:01.320 knowing that these other comments are going by
00:52:04.480 and the people just like you
00:52:06.940 are feeling it work
00:52:08.860 will have an effect on you.
00:52:12.140 Because you're like them.
00:52:14.480 And the fact that it works on other people
00:52:16.220 probably means
00:52:17.560 that it's going to work on you
00:52:19.420 if not at the same rate
00:52:21.080 or in the same pace
00:52:22.380 but over time.
00:52:23.740 And by tonight
00:52:25.600 when you're laying in bed
00:52:27.440 you're going to imagine my voice again.
00:52:31.300 You're going to remember it
00:52:32.480 just like you hear it now.
00:52:34.360 And when you remember my voice
00:52:35.940 it's going to remind you
00:52:37.780 that when you listened to me in the morning
00:52:40.880 it relaxed you.
00:52:43.600 And you felt that you were
00:52:45.000 taking back control
00:52:46.520 of your mind and body connection
00:52:49.020 and letting all those other things
00:52:51.820 that don't matter
00:52:52.480 those generalized concerns
00:52:54.540 they don't matter.
00:52:57.680 They don't touch you.
00:52:59.320 They're not there.
00:53:00.800 They're not with you in the room.
00:53:03.220 They're not even there.
00:53:04.960 They don't exist.
00:53:06.920 History
00:53:07.360 doesn't exist.
00:53:10.880 All those things in your past
00:53:12.620 they don't exist.
00:53:14.960 They're gone.
00:53:15.560 All those things in the future
00:53:17.680 that you worry about
00:53:18.540 the future isn't here.
00:53:21.300 And you're usually bad
00:53:22.480 at knowing what's going to happen.
00:53:24.820 It'll be fine.
00:53:26.240 It's been fine up to this point
00:53:27.860 it'll probably be fine tomorrow.
00:53:29.760 And if you have a rough patch
00:53:31.060 you'll get past it.
00:53:33.120 You
00:53:33.640 are well on your way
00:53:35.360 to having less anxiety.
00:53:38.220 And already
00:53:39.020 you can feel the improvement.
00:53:40.920 Many of you can.
00:53:42.420 And on this note
00:53:43.600 I'm going to sign off
00:53:45.560 on the YouTube stream.
00:53:48.420 I'll keep
00:53:49.100 just for a minute
00:53:49.900 on locals.
00:53:52.420 And
00:53:52.780 those of you
00:53:54.360 who are smart enough
00:53:55.140 to stay around
00:53:55.860 are already feeling
00:53:57.920 a change.
00:54:01.000 And if you come back tomorrow
00:54:02.640 it'll be reinforced.
00:54:04.900 And every time you hear my voice
00:54:06.500 it's going to make you feel
00:54:08.820 more relaxed
00:54:10.160 happier
00:54:11.980 and you're going to feel
00:54:14.040 that that little dopamine
00:54:15.440 faucet
00:54:17.060 in your head
00:54:18.020 the one that
00:54:19.680 if you think
00:54:20.720 just right
00:54:21.740 the dopamine
00:54:23.640 turns on
00:54:24.380 and your whole body
00:54:26.120 feels better
00:54:26.720 and then your mind.
00:54:28.760 But you're going to find
00:54:29.620 that little knob
00:54:30.880 by just pushing around
00:54:34.040 in there.
00:54:35.360 And when you push around
00:54:36.800 long enough
00:54:37.380 and you hit that knob
00:54:38.900 just remember
00:54:39.540 where it was
00:54:40.240 so you can find it again.
00:54:43.360 And now
00:54:43.940 you're going to go forth
00:54:46.220 and have
00:54:46.740 an amazing day.
00:54:48.860 Bye for now YouTube.
00:54:49.640 Thank you.
00:54:50.720 Thank you.
00:54:54.820 Thank you.
00:54:55.720 Thank you.
00:54:56.040 And I think
00:54:56.200 I'm going to interrupt
00:54:56.540 and say
00:54:56.760 thank you.
00:54:58.100 Thank you.
00:54:58.720 Thank you.
00:54:59.300 Thank you.
00:54:59.340 Thank you.
00:54:59.560 Thank you.
00:54:59.780 Thank you.
00:55:00.200 Thank you.
00:55:01.780 Thank you.
00:55:02.140 Thank you.
00:55:02.780 Thank you.
00:55:03.580 Thank you.
00:55:03.760 Thank you.
00:55:04.480 Thank you.
00:55:04.720 Thank you.
00:55:09.400 Thank you.
00:55:10.720 Thank you.
00:55:12.680 Thank you.
00:55:14.280 Thank you.
00:55:14.440 Thank you.
