Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the highlight of civilization.
00:00:08.960
There's never been a better time, and the news is just full of wonders and outrages and provocations.
00:00:16.600
That's good stuff, and that's why you come here.
00:00:19.680
If you'd like to enjoy this more than, let's say, what would be like really valuable?
00:00:26.140
If you'd like to enjoy this more than an egg, more than an egg, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tank or a cellist or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:00:41.720
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:46.780
It's called this simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:00:56.140
Well, the locals' people are reminding me to go private on the locals' platform, because afterwards I'll be telling them all the good stuff that I couldn't tell you.
00:01:11.460
Well, you might be aware that I have split into four separate movies.
00:01:17.160
I'm now four different people, according to the Internet, and I embrace all of those movies.
00:01:30.700
In another, I am left of Bernie Sanders, both of those running at the same time.
00:01:38.540
But more recently, I have also become two people about the pandemic.
00:01:42.460
I'm a person who, in one movie, I was promoting the vaccinations, and I love masks, and boy, did I love the lockdowns.
00:01:54.720
At the same time, I'm the opposite of that person, the person who didn't do any of that stuff.
00:02:11.360
Because there's now a far-right conservative who didn't like vaccinations, one who did.
00:02:19.000
There's a left-to-Bernie person who liked vaccinations.
00:02:28.820
By the way, I block everybody who tells me that they don't want to hear about AI
00:02:34.660
or any of the logic of the pandemic anymore, because I'm going to talk about those more.
00:02:44.960
So I'm four people, and somebody asked me on Twitter if I'm just being sarcastic,
00:02:51.860
because viewed from one movie, I look like I'm just joking,
00:03:05.940
I used to believe that I had to convince everybody that one of them was true,
00:03:13.380
I have since embraced that they just all exist.
00:03:16.580
So I've surrendered to reality, which is a weirdly satisfying feeling.
00:03:27.340
You know, like, even when I was relaxing, I'd be like,
00:03:34.140
And you always feel like, well, I have to clear up a misconception about me.
00:03:39.160
But now I've embraced that they just live as separate realities,
00:03:44.880
I believe I'm the first, correct me if I'm wrong,
00:03:53.960
where I can actually leave my bubble of reality,
00:03:57.740
completely enter another bubble, and actually stay there for a while.
00:04:01.040
I can't live there, but then I can come back any time I want.
00:04:12.240
and I'm living in all of them and completely inhabiting them.
00:04:16.260
And then I just leave to go to the other bubble.
00:04:23.360
Well, I won't tell you who I learned that from.
00:04:30.860
There are some of you who don't read it every day as soon as it comes out.
00:04:39.960
If anybody were going to have a podcast, it would be Dogbert.
00:04:44.140
And he's talking to Tina, the tech writer, and Dogbert says,
00:04:47.920
Relationships work when men give women what women want,
00:04:58.640
And Dogbert says, The trick is to make them think it's temporary.
00:05:10.040
thanks to a number of retweets and comments by Elon Musk.
00:05:16.200
And I believe I told you that when I reached a million,
00:05:25.720
Should be hitting that by around July at the current run rate,
00:05:30.920
So in July, I'll be running the world, unless AI is.
00:05:43.720
So the AP, Associated Press, you might know this, not know this,
00:05:51.120
So as the language evolves, the style guide will be updated to say,
00:05:57.760
You know, it'd be better if you refer to these people this way,
00:06:01.500
or you capitalize this, or don't capitalize that.
00:06:06.840
and they suggest that people avoid using the word the
00:06:24.380
So you don't say the disabled or even the French.
00:06:33.220
about not using the before the names of things.
00:06:39.080
So then why do you call yourself the Associated Press?
00:07:03.980
we're actually the ones who create common usage.
00:07:10.860
So when the public starts using a word a certain way
00:07:20.760
Don't use that word that common people are using.
00:07:34.620
And then everybody says, oh, okay, it's okay now.
00:07:50.020
So Schiff is what you would call him in the present.
00:07:59.740
But if you're talking about something he did in the past,
00:08:50.260
Now, of course, the thought of that is alarming,
00:08:52.240
but it might have been just something somebody said
00:08:58.500
But imagine the fact that YouTube removed that.
