Coronavirus has struck the United States, and the government is trying to figure out how to get rid of it. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? And why should we be worried about it?


Transcript

00:00:00.560 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum.
00:00:03.320 Oh, don't worry, I'm only a few minutes late.
00:00:06.800 Do not have the coronavirus.
00:00:09.700 I'm fresh and clean.
00:00:11.920 Fresh as the morning dew.
00:00:14.820 Yes, no coronavirus can find me.
00:00:17.120 I am in deep hiding.
00:00:20.020 You know what is the most famous saying in all of military?
00:00:26.480 I think you do.
00:00:28.340 Divide and conquer.
00:00:30.440 We're using the most historically efficient, effective way to beat a warring enemy.
00:00:40.060 And we are at war.
00:00:41.800 Trust me, we are at war with this virus.
00:00:45.180 And we have taken the strategy, at least in this country, to divide and conquer.
00:00:50.800 Could that work?
00:00:52.780 Yeah.
00:00:54.060 Yep, that's why we're doing it.
00:00:56.180 We're doing it because it works.
00:00:58.040 Divide and conquer, people.
00:00:59.640 You've got a strategy.
00:01:01.300 But first, it's a good day.
00:01:04.620 Because you're here and you're about to enjoy the simultaneous sip.
00:01:08.300 And there's not many things better than that, really.
00:01:11.760 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or stye, and a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:18.640 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:19.840 I like coffee.
00:01:20.280 I like coffee.
00:01:22.280 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including the coronavirus.
00:01:29.400 I feel my immune response up to the challenge.
00:01:43.680 I went for a really nice walk last night after dark.
00:01:48.400 So the weather around here is, you know, we're in that season where it could be a good day or a bad day, 50-degree swings.
00:01:55.620 And last night it was pretty chilly, but I put on my big coat and scarf and hat and went for a long walk.
00:02:03.940 And it is a really interesting world out there because there are a lot of people taking long walks because there's not much else to do.
00:02:14.780 And I cannot recommend enough.
00:02:18.480 Honestly, if there's anybody listening to this who did not take a long walk yesterday, do yourself a favor.
00:02:25.800 Because your mental state, your body, all of your chemistry that makes you stressed does get suppressed.
00:02:37.480 It's not that hard.
00:02:38.540 You just take a nice walk.
00:02:40.200 But here's the interesting thing.
00:02:41.280 There are lots of other people taking walks.
00:02:43.360 And there are lots of situations where you would have to, you know, walk past them in the other direction on the sidewalk.
00:02:49.080 Now, I'm in a suburban neighborhood.
00:02:50.780 And so normally, it's not like there are a ton of people walking around.
00:02:56.260 It's mostly people going to their houses and drive around.
00:02:59.700 But last night, a lot of people were walking.
00:03:02.400 A lot of people were walking.
00:03:03.880 And you would come near them.
00:03:05.280 And there would be this weird thing that you've never seen before where people would cross the street a block before they saw you.
00:03:12.760 And then I saw somebody do that to me.
00:03:15.200 And then I thought, why not?
00:03:17.500 But, so every time I saw somebody else coming the other way, I crossed the street.
00:03:22.420 And I don't know, you know, I don't think any of it makes much difference.
00:03:27.080 I mean, walking past somebody on the sidewalk versus crossing the street, does it make that much difference?
00:03:33.560 I don't know.
00:03:34.460 You know, ask an expert.
00:03:36.060 I don't think it's impossible that somebody couldn't cough in your direction just as you walked by.
00:03:41.220 But I think it's pretty low risk.
00:03:42.680 However, I do like the fact that people are taking it seriously.
00:03:52.380 And every time we do a wide circle, every time we say no to a handshake, every time we walk around somebody, it reminds them.
00:04:02.440 It reminds them that this is not a drill.
00:04:05.360 This is real.
00:04:06.100 Now, most of us will be absolutely fine.
00:04:09.360 We'll be fine now.
00:04:10.520 We'll be fine when it's over.
00:04:11.820 And we'll be great when we're past it.
00:04:14.400 But, yeah, let's take it seriously at the same time.
00:04:19.400 Somebody said that Bill Mitchell has turned around and may be taking it seriously.
00:04:25.300 Could it be because he can't leave his house?
00:04:27.100 Because, you know, there's part of me that wonders if, no, I don't think this is the case, but part of me wonders if the nature of the restrictions are meant to get your attention as much as they're meant to separate you.
00:04:45.740 Now, of course, the important thing is to separate you.
00:04:48.280 That's, you know, that's the functional part of it.
00:04:50.840 But I have to think it has this second benefit that I'm sure people thought of, which is people did not take this seriously until the government of the United States said, don't leave your house or the police are going to tap you on the shoulder, well, from six feet away.
00:05:08.380 They'll have like a six-foot pole and they'll say, hey, hey, get back in your house.
00:05:14.140 Not really.
00:05:14.980 They don't really have a pole.
00:05:16.620 But you know what I mean.
00:05:17.680 And I think this has finally turned people around.
00:05:21.800 I saw some tweets by Elon Musk.
00:05:24.480 Now, some of you know that Elon said some things that sounded like he was minimizing it or comparing it to a regular flu or something, which a lot of people did early on and then talked themselves out of it as events proceeded.
00:05:43.620 But it looked like from the last couple of tweets I saw from Elon, he was talking about a particular drug.
00:05:51.340 We've talked about it.
00:05:53.840 What's it called?
00:05:55.260 It's got that weird name that's hard to pronounce.
00:05:58.940 Chloroquine.
00:06:00.620 Chloroquine.
00:06:01.820 A drug for malaria.
00:06:02.860 And apparently we're seeing multiple reports, not yet scientifically valid in humans, but assumed to be valid because it's been tried enough now already.
00:06:15.480 Then people are seeing pretty clear across the board's benefits.
00:06:20.180 Now, this is for somebody who's already got it.
00:06:22.200 And apparently it makes a big difference.
00:06:23.700 But here's more good news.
00:06:27.200 All right.
00:06:27.500 So this drug, chloroquine, and it's something Elon Musk tweeted around, does look promising.
00:06:36.140 It does look promising.
00:06:37.480 But there's another drug that seems to be, I don't know, I'm not enough of a chemist to know what's going on here.
00:06:43.900 But it looks like a stronger version of it or something in the same family called hydroxychloroquine.
00:06:55.780 Hydroxychloroquine.
00:06:56.900 And I think there's a 2020 peer-reviewed paper.
00:07:01.480 And again, peer-reviewed paper doesn't mean it's true.
00:07:05.920 It doesn't mean it's right.
00:07:07.500 It just means it passed one filter of which you would hope it would pass lots before you really believed it.
00:07:13.940 But in an emergency, people probably are going to take a different risk profile than they normally would and should.
00:07:21.080 That makes sense, an emergency.
00:07:23.400 And it looks like this version of the drug is maybe four times, was it four or five?
00:07:31.180 I forget.
00:07:31.620 But four or five times stronger, at least in vitro.
00:07:35.040 In other words, in a test tube, it was four to five times stronger.
00:07:38.760 And I believe that both of these drugs are well understood.
00:07:43.600 At least the chloroquine is well understood, for sure.
00:07:47.260 Because it's something that people have been taking for a long time for malaria and, I think, rheumatoid arthritis.
00:07:53.000 So we understand the risks.
00:07:56.960 And I think the thinking was that this new drug that's four times more effective is close enough in nature to the other one that we do know a lot about.
00:08:10.140 Though it's probably not the biggest risk in the world to make this available, especially to people who seem to be getting helped by it.
00:08:19.380 So we've got two things that look really promising.
00:08:21.700 So I said to myself, well, I assume we're just cranking out lots of that stuff, right?
00:08:27.960 I mean, just in case.
00:08:29.540 Wouldn't you assume that just based on the early reports, our government would be trying to stockpile that stuff as quickly as possible?
00:08:38.760 So I said to myself, well, who makes this chloroquine drug?
00:08:43.680 So I drilled down a little bit, and it's a French company.
00:08:48.980 So the drug that probably, at this point, is one of two drugs.
00:08:55.000 The other one is remdesivir or something.
00:08:58.140 A drug that used to be used for HIV, but I think they got better ones now.
00:09:02.480 And that appears to be very, very effective as well.
00:09:05.660 So anyway, but this chloroquine is made by a French company called Sanofi Adventus, a merger of the two companies.
00:09:16.900 And then my trail went cold, because I was doing this just before I came on.
00:09:22.420 That's why I was a few minutes late.
00:09:23.940 I was trying to see if I could figure out where the drug that, if I had to guess, I think it's going to be the key to this thing.
00:09:33.180 Because long before we get to a vaccine, although that might be mind-bogglingly fast, because I talked about this yesterday,
00:09:44.220 any assumption you make about how long it takes to get a drug approved under a normal situation,
00:09:50.520 I think you have to at least suspend your assumption that it will look like that,
00:09:56.340 and think that maybe this is a big enough issue that we'll take a bigger chance than we normally would.
00:10:02.520 I think that's fair to say.
00:10:04.440 So we'll probably have a vaccine faster than anybody except President Trump predicted.
00:10:12.080 Watch when that happens.
00:10:14.200 Watch what happens when we do get a vaccine, and it's faster than anybody except Trump predicted.
00:10:24.080 What's that going to do?
00:10:26.240 What's that going to do to the world, the collective brain of the world?
00:10:30.400 If I had to bet on it, it's going to be somewhere between where Fauci is sort of, you know, quite reasonably,
00:10:40.800 telling us that best practices would put it maybe a year or 18 months out, and probably closer to 18 months.
00:10:47.700 And the president made happy sounds like, well, it could be just several months,
00:10:52.740 which would be, you know, record-breaking, mind-boggling, impossible, nobody knows how you could do it.
00:11:01.540 I'm going to bet somewhere in the middle, you know, maybe a year.
00:11:07.340 I mean, you know, if we get a vaccine in nine months, which I think all the experts would say would be impossible under normal circumstances,
00:11:17.320 but if we get it in nine months, I'm not going to be surprised.
00:11:21.200 Because the principle in play here is that all of human ingenuity is focused on it.
00:11:29.160 It's not like normal stuff.
00:11:31.120 Every opportunity to cut a corner will be used.
00:11:35.700 So you're not betting on Trump so much as you're betting on the collective talents of the most talented people our country has ever produced.
00:11:46.740 And they're on it.
00:11:49.520 But here's the thing.
00:11:51.160 Who makes this drug?
00:11:52.860 So it's a French company that, you know, is the corporate company.
00:11:57.680 But do you think that they manufacture this in France?
00:12:02.400 I'd like to know that.
00:12:03.760 If somebody can find that out, and I'm not clever enough to dig down to know how a particular company manufactures a particular drug in which factory.
00:12:13.720 I don't know how to find that out.
00:12:14.860 But if there's anybody who can, can you give me an answer to that?
00:12:18.680 Because I'm afraid the answer is going to be China.
00:12:21.920 Right?
00:12:23.080 Now here's a question for you.
00:12:25.140 Let's say there is a drug.
00:12:26.600 We know it works.
00:12:28.040 Or we're hopeful that it works and the risk management, you know, the threshold has been reached.
00:12:35.020 Meaning that we definitely want to go hard at this drug, even with a little bit of risk.
00:12:41.820 How would we do it?
00:12:42.900 Well, I'm looking at your comments.
00:12:46.720 Somebody said maybe India, maybe China.
00:12:49.660 But let's say it's China.
00:12:52.300 I think that's probably a good guess, right?
00:12:56.600 Now, there's a company that holds the patent.
00:12:59.820 And then it's manufactured in China.
00:13:04.500 Would we produce that drug?
00:13:07.140 Could we?
00:13:08.240 I know we could physically.
00:13:09.900 I believe we could.
00:13:11.160 Could we clone it to its generic?
00:13:13.580 And then mass produce it in this country without benefit of owning the patent or any, you know, copyright?
00:13:24.180 Whatever they've got there.
00:13:25.340 Whatever kind of protection.
00:13:26.380 It would be a patent, I guess.
00:13:28.420 Could we make it?
00:13:29.600 In other words, could we break their patent because it's an emergency?
00:13:33.500 Yes.
00:13:34.780 Yes, we could.
00:13:37.380 Are we going to not make that drug because it would be against the law?
00:13:42.180 No.
00:13:43.200 No, that's not going to happen.
00:13:44.980 If there's a patent law that prevents us from making this drug, we are going to ignore the patent law.
00:13:50.780 And we're going to ignore it like it never even existed.
00:13:52.720 We will ignore it so hard and we'll never know it existed for the emergency.
00:13:58.140 Now, I hope there's nobody in the government who's saying we can't do this because we don't own the patent.
00:14:04.640 You know, please tell me there's nobody so stupid in our government who would hesitate in an emergency because of a patent.
00:14:13.320 I don't think so.
00:14:15.100 Somebody says it's not patented.
00:14:17.900 Hmm.
00:14:19.240 Maybe.
00:14:20.560 Possible.
00:14:21.540 But I don't know.
00:14:22.660 Somebody says it's already generic.
00:14:24.660 And that's, I was looking for that and couldn't find that just before I got on.
00:14:29.020 I was getting close to finding that out.
00:14:32.840 Somebody says what patent law?
00:14:34.920 Yeah.
00:14:35.140 So I guess the question is we're not going to have to worry, I don't think, about any legalities.
00:14:41.160 So it really comes down to a technical question and then like a manufacturing question.
00:14:47.600 How fast could we spin up a, or convert an existing plant to just crank this, presumably the stronger version, the hydroxychloroquine, and just start cranking that stuff out just in case?
00:15:03.380 And do you think, do you think we already know enough to do that?
00:15:08.840 In other words, do we know enough about the possibilities of the drug that even if we're 60% sure, you know, you pick your number, 80% sure that it makes a difference?
00:15:21.200 I'm talking about the scientists, I'm not talking about the scientists, I'm not talking about me being sure, but the scientists.
00:15:25.580 If they're somewhere in that 60% to 80% certain that this could be a useful drug, where is my news reporting on where this is happening?
00:15:38.200 Because you know what would make me feel a lot better, is to read in the, you know, Breitbart or New York Times or whoever does this story, that here's the factory, and they're already converting, and, you know, by the end of the week they'll be cranking this out like crazy, and we don't care about this French company.
00:16:01.220 It's like they don't exist. We're just going to make this, and we're going to give it out like crazy, just in case.
00:16:09.100 And again, you might want to withhold it from the public, which wouldn't be a bad strategy.
00:16:15.500 It wouldn't be a bad strategy to make sure that, you know, a normal, healthy person can't get it, so you want to limit it to the medical people who can prescribe it.
00:16:25.040 But anyway, this is pretty good.
00:16:27.360 And then there's also this remdesivir, I'm probably saying it wrong, that seems to make a difference as well.
00:16:33.860 So in terms of treatment, we've got some good stuff.
00:16:37.440 Somebody says Australia tested it successfully.
00:16:40.380 Now, that was in vitro.
00:16:42.260 It has been used in real patients, and the reports are that they all got better.
00:16:48.780 But there's such small groups that you can't take that too seriously yet.
00:16:53.220 All right, here are some things in no particular order.
00:17:00.260 I just saw a tweet.
00:17:01.720 I think it's true.
00:17:03.000 You know, you can't believe anything you see in the tweet these days.
00:17:06.560 But somebody was showing pictures of a Hong Kong wrist app, or a wrist thing that goes around your wrist.
00:17:15.880 And if you've been, I think, either traveling or you have the coronavirus, you know, if you're traveling, you're quarantining you.
00:17:23.440 And they put the thing on.
00:17:24.320 It's basically like wearing the, what do you call it when you're at home detention and you've got the ankle bracelet that is digitally monitored?
00:17:35.520 Well, in Hong Kong, it's basically an ankle bracelet that can tell where you are, but it goes on your wrist, and it works with an app on your phone.
00:17:45.400 And apparently, Hong Kong is pretty serious about this stuff.
00:17:49.480 And first of all, where's my app?
00:17:52.060 Are you telling me Hong Kong can spin up an app faster than we can?
00:17:56.360 Come on.
00:17:57.780 We should at least be working on this.
00:17:59.700 And I guess it tells you, you know, you walk around the perimeter inside your house, and then it can map your house, and it knows exactly if you've even walked out the door.
00:18:10.020 And apparently, that level of government monitoring has made a big difference in Hong Kong.
00:18:18.120 And I do think that this is an information problem.
00:18:22.680 You know, we treat it as a health problem, because that's what happens if you don't have information.
00:18:26.820 So it's an information problem first.
00:18:29.920 Who has it, and where are they?
00:18:31.880 That's the information.
00:18:33.240 Who has it, and where are they?
00:18:35.620 And then if you don't do that right, the information problem, then it's a health problem, which is what we're seeing.
00:18:43.480 But thinking of it as an information problem tells you where to put resources for prevention, which is in the technology.
00:18:50.380 Speaking of which, I guess some of the nation's doctors are calling out for a national database.
00:18:59.740 I think it's different than what Google was making.
00:19:02.100 Google was making a database for people to check their symptoms or something.
00:19:06.380 I think that's what that was going to be about.
00:19:07.900 Whereas the doctors are saying, we need a database where all the credentialed physicians who are working on this around the world can share their outcomes and what they tried that worked and what you might not know if you haven't seen it yet.
00:19:22.440 And I thought, that doesn't exist.
00:19:26.180 That doesn't exist already.
00:19:27.880 And now, since there's a national call for it to be built, I assume a whole bunch of people are just going to go off and try to build one on their own.
00:19:38.780 And at some point, somebody official is going to say, we'll take the good one.
00:19:43.440 But I would imagine a whole bunch of people just sat down the minute they saw that and said, I could make that.
00:19:49.420 Because it's basically just an information sharing website.
00:19:53.520 Probably just you could take components that already exist.
00:19:56.200 Just go to your GitHub, grab some code and slap it together.
00:20:02.300 Because it just needs to be bare bones.
00:20:04.120 They just want the information.
00:20:05.260 They don't need it to be pretty.
00:20:07.580 So that's happening.
00:20:09.260 And remember I was telling you that we're at the flat part of the curve of human intelligence.
00:20:17.900 In other words, we've got all the smart people working on it.
00:20:21.200 And then they're going to share information.
00:20:22.860 And it's the point where they're all sharing information that gets you to the elbow.
00:20:28.380 The part where the human capability goes from not very good to, okay, we got this.
00:20:34.880 And it'll go almost straight up after that.
00:20:37.600 So we're sort of approaching the, you know, or I think we're about halfway into the middle of the elbow.
00:20:42.300 And I didn't realize that we were lacking this very basic bit of intelligence gathering, which is the ability for the doctors to efficiently share what they know.
00:20:54.100 But that will be, if I had to guess, we'll probably have that by the end of the week, right?
00:20:59.000 I mean, how hard could it be to build that, really?
00:21:01.000 So by the end of the week, all of these individual spots of genius, and I'm just going to call it that.
00:21:10.660 You know, doctors are pretty smart.
00:21:12.620 Scientists are pretty smart.
00:21:14.060 We're not talking about you.
00:21:15.400 You know, it's not us.
00:21:16.540 I've said this before, but I don't think the average person, and I put myself in that category when I'm talking about what these folks,
00:21:26.140 I don't think the average person can even conceive of how smart the people are who are working on this problem.
00:21:33.780 And there are millions of them, maybe hundreds of thousands that are the real smart ones.
00:21:38.180 But at the moment, apparently they can't share as effectively as they want to.
00:21:42.480 So it's more, you know, if you know somebody, you can share with them, but that's it.
00:21:47.420 So imagine somebody finally said, give us a place to connect all the geniuses.
00:21:55.720 Think about that.
00:21:57.240 Give us one website.
00:21:58.580 We'll connect all the best thinking of the geniuses in one place.
00:22:03.420 That's the middle of the elbow.
00:22:04.940 When you see that, just know that the collective intelligence of this entity that is humanity,
00:22:17.160 because we have two kinds of intelligence.
00:22:18.840 We have individual intelligence, you know, what you and I individually can do.
00:22:23.320 But if we work together, we become a sort of a meta-intelligence, which is the good parts of both of us.
00:22:31.380 The good parts of all of these scientists, the geniuses around the world, have not yet been combined.
00:22:38.880 And it's not just additive.
00:22:41.360 I don't believe that this is a case of, you know, one plus one is two.
00:22:47.480 Once the geniuses are connected, you're going to get a sort of a logarithmic, you know, exponential kind of an increase in what we know that's useful.
00:22:58.920 So, I say this a lot, and I've said it a few times, and you've seen it to be true in some big cases.
00:23:08.200 We can't tell the difference between being close to, you know, everything going wrong,
00:23:16.320 and being right on the edge of everything starting to go right.
00:23:20.700 Now, the moment that this turns, and it will turn, there's going to be a point where the news says one day,
00:23:27.800 hey, it looks like it's stopped getting worse.
00:23:32.920 And that's going to be a good day.
00:23:35.020 That's coming.
00:23:36.520 It's coming guaranteed.
00:23:38.180 I will guarantee you that that day is coming.
00:23:39.960 And once we get a handle on it, we are going to beat this frickin' virus into the ground with an attitude.
00:23:52.280 With an attitude.
00:23:54.420 All right.
00:23:57.800 I don't think any of us should come out of this without a new skill.
00:24:02.600 I'll just put that out there.
00:24:04.240 You know, I talk about skill stacking all the time.
00:24:06.500 But when in your life are you going to have another time where you're forced to stay home for weeks,
00:24:11.960 and you're a little bit bored?
00:24:14.360 Is that ever going to happen again?
00:24:16.580 Ever?
00:24:17.760 Will there ever be a time when you can just say, you know, nothing I can do.
00:24:22.900 I'm just going to stay home for a number of weeks, whatever it is,
00:24:26.640 and I'm going to be a little bit bored?
00:24:28.840 If you don't come out of this with a new skill, you're doing it wrong.
00:24:34.680 You're doing it wrong.
00:24:35.480 You should come out of this stronger, not weaker.
00:24:38.300 You want to come out of this maybe with less income.
00:24:41.800 It's going to happen to a lot of us.
00:24:43.240 It certainly will happen to me.
00:24:44.860 But I'll be okay.
00:24:46.420 And no matter where you are, income-wise, if you take a hit,
00:24:50.820 you can compensate for that in the long run by adding a skill.
00:24:55.660 Sign up for a class.
00:24:57.360 Learn something that's compatible with what you already do
00:25:00.180 that makes you the obvious person to get promoted,
00:25:03.860 the obvious person to get a better job somewhere else.
00:25:06.500 So you can somewhat compensate.
00:25:09.380 It's not a one-for-one,
00:25:11.140 but for many people, it's more than one-for-one.
00:25:13.740 For many people, they'll be able to add a skill,
00:25:16.760 something they always wanted to do,
00:25:18.400 and when things go back to normal, which they will,
00:25:21.880 well, you came back more valuable.
00:25:24.120 So you can work on your net worth by improving your skills.
00:25:29.240 So a lot of people are going to do that.
00:25:33.160 I certainly am.
00:25:35.600 So how about this?
00:25:38.700 Do any of you have a non-complier in your household?
00:25:43.340 Do you have anybody in your house who's too big to physically control,
00:25:47.400 so it's an older kid or your uncle or your grandmother lives there or anything?
00:25:53.860 Do any of you have somebody in your household
00:25:55.540 who's saying that they're not going to shelter in place
00:25:59.360 and they're just going to go about their business?
00:26:01.780 What do you do about that?
00:26:04.100 You can't really kick them out of the house, right?
00:26:09.540 So I'm wondering if that's a widespread problem
00:26:12.620 or if everybody has got things under control in their homes.
00:26:17.820 Anyway, I'll just put that question out there,
00:26:19.440 and then I'll wait for the comments to come in.
00:26:24.040 All right.
00:26:26.500 So let me teach you a relaxation technique.
00:26:31.780 Would you like that?
00:26:33.440 This is an actual hypnosis slash technique.
00:26:39.720 So it's not exclusive to hypnosis.
00:26:42.360 I'm not going to hypnotize you.
00:26:43.740 Don't worry.
00:26:44.660 I might do that later,
00:26:45.820 but it'll be a separate periscope.
00:26:48.500 This is a way to relax yourself.
00:26:52.720 It works every time.
00:26:54.620 All right.
00:26:54.800 So what I'm going to tell you literally will work every time.
00:26:57.980 So you don't have to worry,
00:26:59.020 well, I don't know if that would work for me.
00:27:01.360 No, this just works for everybody all the time.
00:27:03.400 And it goes like this.
00:27:05.500 You should turn off your screens for multiple times during the day.
00:27:11.720 I like to not turn off my phone for more than an hour
00:27:15.800 because I'm paying attention to, you know, developing news,
00:27:20.780 and we need to know what's happening in our community.
00:27:23.260 Did your school get closed?
00:27:24.900 Have the restrictions changed and all that?
00:27:27.260 So I don't like to be out of contact more than an hour,
00:27:31.400 but I'm also a person who's sort of in the front lines
00:27:34.840 of the fight against the virus.
00:27:38.920 For the rest of you,
00:27:40.260 make sure you tune out regularly during the day.
00:27:45.200 I mean, you might have to take an hour here,
00:27:46.920 then another hour there,
00:27:48.180 then another hour night.
00:27:49.560 But here's the technique for relaxing.
00:27:51.340 Some of you have heard of this before.
00:27:53.000 You'll find a comfortable chair.
00:27:55.600 You could do this in bed before you go to sleep.
00:27:58.320 So you could do it as a meditation,
00:28:00.600 just sitting in a chair.
00:28:02.440 And by the way,
00:28:04.140 meditating is mostly just sitting alone with your thoughts
00:28:07.600 for a long period and not falling asleep.
00:28:11.140 That basically is meditation.
00:28:13.460 If you're trying to think of nothing,
00:28:15.260 that's just the dumbest thing anybody ever said
00:28:17.600 about how to practice for something.
00:28:20.020 You can't think of nothing.
00:28:21.380 So if you hear the yogi has accomplished thinking of nothing,
00:28:25.720 no, he hasn't.
00:28:26.900 No, he hasn't.
00:28:28.360 He has not accomplished that.
00:28:31.620 Nobody can do that.
00:28:33.420 So if you could just sit alone
00:28:34.920 and try to quiet your thoughts,
00:28:37.540 and if they drift to, let's say,
00:28:39.640 an unproductive place,
00:28:40.700 just sort of pull it back.
00:28:42.300 But don't turn them off.
00:28:44.580 Just push them back to something harmless.
00:28:47.040 Think about laying on the beach.
00:28:49.180 Think about something that doesn't take any brain power,
00:28:52.140 has no stress.
00:28:53.500 Just think about something pleasant.
00:28:55.180 Think about your pet.
00:28:56.280 Think about something you like.
00:28:58.540 And just sit there for an hour.
00:29:00.680 You will be amazed.
00:29:02.200 Now, on day one,
00:29:03.460 maybe you're not going to get any amazing outcomes from this.
00:29:08.500 But if you keep at it,
00:29:10.180 and you've got a lot of time to keep at it.
00:29:12.080 A lot of people will be meditating experts in a month.
00:29:16.920 If you keep at it,
00:29:18.860 and some would say it's important to inhale through your nose
00:29:23.260 and take a deep breath
00:29:24.500 and exhale through your mouth.
00:29:28.400 But if you just sit quietly
00:29:30.120 in a comfortable position for an hour
00:29:33.920 and try to quiet your thoughts,
00:29:35.960 you're going to have a big, big gain.
00:29:38.360 And it will intensify over time
00:29:40.580 because you'll get better at it
00:29:41.920 and it will become somewhat addictive.
00:29:44.500 There will be a feeling,
00:29:45.860 a physical feeling,
00:29:47.520 when you're done,
00:29:49.260 similar to, let's say,
00:29:50.960 taking a long walk and then being done.
00:29:54.080 You know, yesterday,
00:29:55.000 after I took a walk,
00:29:56.100 I just sat on the couch.
00:29:57.620 Man, did it feel good.
00:29:59.500 It just felt good
00:30:00.780 to be done exercising.
00:30:02.140 You know, you could feel your whole body
00:30:04.980 just, like, glowing in happiness
00:30:06.780 that you're not walking anymore
00:30:07.980 because you're ready to stop.
00:30:12.000 So, that's meditation.
00:30:14.260 That's one way to relax.
00:30:15.260 But here's another way that's more active.
00:30:18.320 Your body is picking up tension.
00:30:21.120 And you're not always consciously aware of it.
00:30:24.420 It might be like, you know,
00:30:25.560 some of us get it in certain places.
00:30:27.780 You might be aware of,
00:30:28.760 oh, my back is all honked up
00:30:30.240 because of the tension.
00:30:31.360 But you also hold it
00:30:32.560 in the rest of your body
00:30:33.440 and it isn't as noticeable.
00:30:35.860 And that's why this trick works.
00:30:37.420 And it goes like this.
00:30:38.840 You sit in a comfortable place
00:30:40.100 or you could be laying in bed
00:30:41.140 and you're trying to get to sleep.
00:30:42.720 Pick one muscle group,
00:30:44.120 let's say your hand.
00:30:45.660 Squeeze it and hold it.
00:30:47.980 Squeeze it and hold it.
00:30:49.380 And you hold it
00:30:50.280 until it's sort of tired.
00:30:52.820 It's exhausted
00:30:53.680 and it doesn't want to hold it anymore.
00:30:55.300 So I'm over-squeezing my hand
00:30:57.180 and now it's starting to be uncomfortable
00:30:59.260 because I'm over-using my muscles.
00:31:01.560 It actually hurts a little bit.
00:31:03.180 Now release it.
00:31:04.960 Release it completely.
00:31:07.380 Then do it with your other hand.
00:31:09.680 Same thing.
00:31:10.640 Squeeze it.
00:31:11.900 Hold it.
00:31:12.760 Until you don't want to do it anymore
00:31:14.220 because it's getting a little painful
00:31:15.640 and it hurts.
00:31:17.000 Then release it.
00:31:18.220 And then you go through
00:31:19.200 the rest of your body
00:31:20.040 for the muscles that you can tense.
00:31:22.900 So if you can tense other muscles,
00:31:24.920 your feet,
00:31:25.760 I like to do hands and feet first.
00:31:28.860 Those,
00:31:29.740 oh my God,
00:31:30.980 don't touch your hand.
00:31:33.480 I like to do hands first,
00:31:35.140 but you can do it with your calf muscles.
00:31:36.960 You can do it with your thighs.
00:31:38.220 You can do it with your glutes.
00:31:39.920 You can do it with your chest muscles.
00:31:41.500 You can do it with your abs.
00:31:42.900 Just move across your body
00:31:44.520 and one by one,
00:31:46.320 squeeze it and release it.
00:31:48.760 By the time you do the cycle,
00:31:51.440 you're going to feel great.
00:31:53.700 It works every time.
00:31:56.400 Works every time.
00:31:57.980 So you don't have to wonder,
00:31:59.680 you know,
00:31:59.900 am I doing it right?
00:32:01.280 Will this work for me?
00:32:02.920 No.
00:32:03.440 You do those things
00:32:04.300 and you will be more relaxed.
00:32:05.980 And if you do it every day,
00:32:07.400 it gets easier.
00:32:08.380 So these are real good techniques.
00:32:10.980 The other thing I suggest
00:32:12.160 is watching comedy
00:32:13.240 and lots of it.
00:32:14.800 Go to YouTube.
00:32:15.360 Look for comedians you like.
00:32:18.840 I was just watching Bill Burr yesterday.
00:32:22.280 You know,
00:32:22.780 if you get,
00:32:23.440 once you find one you like,
00:32:25.140 YouTube will suggest other ones.
00:32:27.100 I can listen to Bill Burr
00:32:28.480 talk all day long.
00:32:31.140 Almost everything he says
00:32:32.360 sounds funny.
00:32:33.460 He had Norm Macdonald,
00:32:34.600 great choice,
00:32:35.420 one of the best stand-ups
00:32:36.600 of all time.
00:32:37.740 And,
00:32:38.620 somebody says,
00:32:41.060 you are using your hypnosis technique.
00:32:42.760 Let me make a distinction.
00:32:46.540 Hypnosis is generally
00:32:47.580 when a person is in the room
00:32:49.780 and you're working with them
00:32:50.960 and you have a common,
00:32:52.040 you know,
00:32:52.860 a common vision
00:32:53.760 of where you want to go,
00:32:54.880 you're working on a specific thing,
00:32:57.440 et cetera.
00:32:57.920 So,
00:32:58.540 hypnosis is,
00:33:00.480 you know,
00:33:00.860 in the specific sense
00:33:02.180 is just two people
00:33:03.200 working together.
00:33:04.400 And you have to be able to,
00:33:05.320 the hypnotist has to be able
00:33:06.900 to see the response
00:33:08.780 in real time.
00:33:10.640 So,
00:33:10.880 as you're doing the induction,
00:33:12.280 you're watching,
00:33:12.960 you're watching the person's response
00:33:14.620 and you're looking for micro changes.
00:33:16.800 So,
00:33:16.960 you're looking for changes
00:33:17.680 in breathing,
00:33:18.580 changes in muscle tone,
00:33:20.100 changes in,
00:33:20.940 even,
00:33:22.240 you know,
00:33:23.520 blushing,
00:33:24.240 et cetera.
00:33:24.960 So,
00:33:25.400 you're looking for very small changes
00:33:26.760 and then you're,
00:33:27.400 you're adapting your technique
00:33:28.800 as you go
00:33:29.640 because you're saying,
00:33:30.400 oh,
00:33:30.480 that worked,
00:33:31.040 I'll do more of that.
00:33:32.000 No,
00:33:32.160 that didn't seem to work,
00:33:33.040 I'll do less of that.
00:33:33.900 So,
00:33:34.920 you can't do that
00:33:35.700 in a mass setting.
00:33:38.480 But,
00:33:38.940 that said,
00:33:40.220 all of the,
00:33:40.920 the knowledge and technique
00:33:42.760 of hypnosis
00:33:43.400 does become just part
00:33:44.760 of your communication stack.
00:33:47.120 So,
00:33:47.840 if you say,
00:33:48.700 am I using my hypnosis technique
00:33:51.140 when I'm talking to you?
00:33:52.440 The answer is always yes.
00:33:55.120 But not with the intention
00:33:56.520 of,
00:33:57.940 you know,
00:33:58.200 putting you into a trance
00:33:59.200 or anything.
00:33:59.660 It's only the intention of,
00:34:01.020 I know what is
00:34:01.700 likely to be persuasive.
00:34:04.700 And I know what is
00:34:05.540 likely not to be.
00:34:06.820 So,
00:34:07.040 I do things that are persuasive.
00:34:08.520 That's not exactly hypnosis.
00:34:09.920 That's just communicating effectively.
00:34:13.520 Do you use self-hypnosis?
00:34:14.920 I do.
00:34:15.940 Yeah,
00:34:16.560 you know,
00:34:17.120 when I took hypnosis class,
00:34:19.200 what was it,
00:34:20.580 40 years ago now?
00:34:23.240 One of the things
00:34:24.060 that the hypnosis instructor did
00:34:26.020 was,
00:34:27.600 he hypnotized all of us
00:34:29.640 to be able to hypnotize ourselves
00:34:32.180 so that we could do self-hypnosis
00:34:34.160 and put ourselves
00:34:35.260 into a,
00:34:35.800 into a deep relaxation.
00:34:38.760 So,
00:34:39.020 40 years later,
00:34:39.920 I can still do it
00:34:40.900 and do it instantly
00:34:42.360 and it's just like the first day.
00:34:44.920 Now,
00:34:45.500 why does it last 40 years?
00:34:47.960 It lasts 40 years
00:34:49.060 because the hypnotist
00:34:50.080 created a simple association
00:34:51.560 and then I reinforced it.
00:34:54.500 Had I not reinforced it,
00:34:55.680 it wouldn't,
00:34:56.100 it wouldn't have lasted.
00:34:57.320 And the simple association
00:34:58.680 was this.
00:34:59.380 we would hear the hypnotist's voice
00:35:01.700 and he would,
00:35:03.460 you know,
00:35:03.800 just go through
00:35:04.360 a relaxation routine
00:35:05.520 and we would feel relaxed.
00:35:07.660 So,
00:35:08.240 we associated his voice,
00:35:09.980 which I can still hear
00:35:11.160 just like it's in the room,
00:35:13.060 we associated his voice
00:35:14.800 with our relaxation.
00:35:17.860 Most of life
00:35:18.900 is just that,
00:35:20.400 associating two things
00:35:21.820 until the qualities
00:35:22.940 of one thing
00:35:23.780 trigger
00:35:24.760 or conflate
00:35:25.720 with the other thing.
00:35:26.880 If you thought of
00:35:27.740 persuasion
00:35:29.800 and hypnosis
00:35:30.400 as mostly that,
00:35:32.240 you'd be pretty close.
00:35:33.620 All right?
00:35:34.300 If you're trying
00:35:35.060 to change somebody's mind
00:35:36.140 or change somebody's behavior,
00:35:37.700 it's usually about
00:35:38.880 matching
00:35:39.440 one feeling
00:35:40.900 to another
00:35:41.380 and then chaining
00:35:42.220 them together
00:35:42.880 until you've created
00:35:44.320 a,
00:35:44.740 you know,
00:35:45.460 a sort of a
00:35:46.100 thoughtless
00:35:46.920 reflex in a person.
00:35:49.160 Because a lot of what we do
00:35:50.280 is thoughtless reflex
00:35:51.380 and usually they're bad ones.
00:35:52.940 Well,
00:35:53.360 by the time you seek help,
00:35:54.620 it's a bad one.
00:35:55.580 There could be good ones.
00:35:57.740 So somebody says,
00:36:01.180 I don't understand
00:36:01.960 how anyone
00:36:02.660 could be hypnotized.
00:36:07.400 The reason
00:36:08.420 you don't understand it
00:36:09.640 is that you don't
00:36:10.440 understand what it is
00:36:11.520 to be hypnotized.
00:36:13.940 So let me explain that.
00:36:16.100 So in a,
00:36:17.000 let's say,
00:36:17.680 a setting
00:36:18.080 with an actual hypnotist,
00:36:19.480 somebody who,
00:36:20.000 you know,
00:36:20.220 you're paying money
00:36:20.920 and you went to a hypnotist.
00:36:22.640 In that setting,
00:36:23.780 hypnosis works
00:36:25.520 on every person
00:36:26.680 who wants it to work.
00:36:29.000 So the key is
00:36:30.080 that you have to want it.
00:36:32.160 You can't,
00:36:32.960 there's no getting around that.
00:36:34.700 Right?
00:36:34.980 If,
00:36:35.340 if the subject
00:36:36.180 is sitting in the chair
00:36:37.360 saying,
00:36:37.720 watch me resist this,
00:36:39.300 I can't be controlled,
00:36:41.080 I will defeat this hypnotist
00:36:42.760 with my willpower,
00:36:44.440 well,
00:36:44.760 then they can.
00:36:45.860 Guess what?
00:36:46.360 That's,
00:36:46.560 that's really easy.
00:36:48.020 You know,
00:36:48.320 ignoring the hypnotist
00:36:49.580 is about the easiest thing
00:36:50.680 you could possibly do.
00:36:51.460 You just,
00:36:52.140 just don't care.
00:36:53.320 Don't pay attention.
00:36:54.280 Don't play along.
00:36:55.420 There's no risk
00:36:56.140 of being hypnotized.
00:36:57.060 It's the easiest thing
00:36:57.720 in the world.
00:36:58.960 Likewise,
00:37:00.280 you could be
00:37:01.000 in a deep hypnotic,
00:37:03.360 they call it a trance.
00:37:04.660 I'm not sure you can define
00:37:05.740 what a trance is,
00:37:06.680 but,
00:37:06.940 you know,
00:37:07.120 just somebody sitting quietly
00:37:08.160 and,
00:37:08.620 and they're,
00:37:09.620 they're sort of in sync
00:37:10.700 with the hypnotist.
00:37:11.720 So you call that a trance,
00:37:13.060 but it's hard to define
00:37:14.000 what a trance is.
00:37:15.620 That person,
00:37:16.600 at any point,
00:37:18.460 can just say,
00:37:19.440 oh,
00:37:19.660 I'm late for something
00:37:21.800 and just get up
00:37:23.120 and walk out.
00:37:25.260 They can.
00:37:26.280 There's nothing
00:37:26.940 that stops you.
00:37:27.900 So if you're saying,
00:37:29.060 I don't know how
00:37:29.820 I could be hypnotized
00:37:30.900 because I could,
00:37:32.140 I would never do something
00:37:33.360 that I didn't want to do.
00:37:35.520 That's how most people
00:37:36.400 think of hypnosis.
00:37:37.700 There's nothing like that.
00:37:39.500 There's no point
00:37:40.640 at which a hypnosis session
00:37:42.580 would involve,
00:37:43.940 be involved,
00:37:44.660 you'd be doing something
00:37:45.380 you didn't want to do.
00:37:46.980 Nobody would do that.
00:37:47.960 You only do things
00:37:49.480 you want to do.
00:37:51.100 And the,
00:37:51.500 and if you want to do it,
00:37:52.740 you're going to be open
00:37:53.620 to associating it
00:37:54.620 with something else.
00:37:55.980 So,
00:37:56.720 back to my example
00:37:57.800 of self,
00:37:58.300 self-hypnosis.
00:37:59.320 When I do self-hypnosis,
00:38:00.660 I can count from,
00:38:02.020 um,
00:38:02.920 one to twenty,
00:38:04.500 but I don't count it
00:38:05.400 in my own voice.
00:38:08.120 Sorry.
00:38:09.520 I count from one to twenty,
00:38:11.580 but in the voice
00:38:12.560 of the hypnotist
00:38:13.480 who I assume
00:38:14.320 has been dead
00:38:14.880 for decades,
00:38:16.100 but I can still hear it.
00:38:17.300 And the association
00:38:18.940 triggers me
00:38:19.720 into relaxation.
00:38:20.880 It's,
00:38:20.960 it's,
00:38:21.540 it's basically instant.
00:38:23.580 So,
00:38:24.240 if you want to use
00:38:25.080 self-hypnosis,
00:38:26.800 think of it this way.
00:38:29.200 Self-hypnosis
00:38:30.020 is nothing
00:38:30.800 but associating
00:38:32.040 two different things.
00:38:34.780 So,
00:38:35.440 here,
00:38:35.580 here would be
00:38:36.100 self-hypnosis.
00:38:37.820 Um,
00:38:38.320 somebody says,
00:38:39.000 you sick,
00:38:39.420 bro?
00:38:39.700 No,
00:38:40.000 I,
00:38:40.520 I just always have a,
00:38:41.860 you know,
00:38:43.140 congestion if I,
00:38:44.480 uh,
00:38:45.420 if I'm talking too much.
00:38:46.520 So,
00:38:47.340 I don't have sore throat,
00:38:48.360 I don't have any,
00:38:49.000 don't have any,
00:38:49.940 uh,
00:38:50.760 I don't have any
00:38:51.400 illness symptoms at all.
00:38:52.460 Actually,
00:38:52.720 I'm feeling amazing
00:38:53.580 because I'm doing
00:38:54.520 all kinds of exercise
00:38:55.480 and eating right
00:38:56.240 and getting a lot of sleep.
00:38:57.940 Honestly,
00:38:58.420 I've never felt better.
00:38:59.440 That's not a joke.
00:39:00.820 In terms of my physical health
00:39:02.700 and vitality,
00:39:03.520 I've never felt better.
00:39:05.100 I'm in,
00:39:05.700 I'm in really good shape
00:39:06.660 right now
00:39:07.000 and I hope the rest of you
00:39:07.900 are taking this seriously
00:39:09.500 as well.
00:39:11.420 You know,
00:39:11.880 my goal,
00:39:12.600 quite simply,
00:39:13.380 is,
00:39:14.860 you know,
00:39:15.320 I'm going to try
00:39:16.220 to delay being
00:39:17.520 exposed to it
00:39:18.680 but if it happens
00:39:20.740 or when it happens,
00:39:21.720 I want to make sure
00:39:22.520 I'm not one of the people
00:39:23.680 who needs a hospital bed.
00:39:25.880 So,
00:39:26.820 you know,
00:39:27.200 my,
00:39:27.760 my,
00:39:28.800 uh,
00:39:28.980 willingness to stay
00:39:30.080 as healthy as I can
00:39:31.220 is partly for myself.
00:39:32.440 Well,
00:39:32.620 it's a lot for myself,
00:39:33.400 of course,
00:39:33.900 but there's a,
00:39:34.780 there's a social element
00:39:36.380 to this,
00:39:36.920 you know.
00:39:37.340 So,
00:39:37.620 if I can,
00:39:38.020 if I can stay healthy enough
00:39:39.260 and away from the virus
00:39:40.840 so that I don't take up
00:39:42.180 any medical resources,
00:39:44.320 I'm going to feel
00:39:45.400 pretty good about myself.
00:39:46.620 Honestly.
00:39:47.480 I'm going to feel like
00:39:48.380 I,
00:39:48.740 I went through the virus war
00:39:50.480 and I did my part
00:39:51.840 and,
00:39:52.520 you know,
00:39:52.640 it was hard
00:39:53.180 but,
00:39:54.300 but I made it work
00:39:55.600 for my little corner
00:39:56.600 of the world
00:39:57.100 and I hope the rest of you
00:39:58.140 are doing the same.
00:39:59.300 All right.
00:39:59.680 I know the hypnosis
00:40:00.740 topic is fun
00:40:02.740 so I'm going to talk
00:40:03.380 about it some more
00:40:04.240 because it just gets
00:40:05.200 your mind off of stuff,
00:40:06.140 right?
00:40:06.620 So,
00:40:07.060 back to my point.
00:40:08.440 Self-hypnosis,
00:40:09.280 if you simply think about it
00:40:10.940 as setting up associations,
00:40:12.800 you can already do it.
00:40:14.660 It really is that easy.
00:40:16.000 So,
00:40:16.620 for example,
00:40:18.040 let's say you set up
00:40:19.160 a little area
00:40:20.060 somewhere in your house
00:40:21.220 where there was a place
00:40:22.540 you could comfortably sit
00:40:23.700 and maybe it's not
00:40:25.140 the place you sit
00:40:25.860 for other things.
00:40:27.220 Very important.
00:40:28.420 Remember,
00:40:29.020 self-hypnosis
00:40:29.600 is about associating
00:40:30.840 two things.
00:40:32.020 If you pick a place
00:40:33.080 in your house
00:40:34.140 that you use
00:40:35.320 for other stuff,
00:40:36.900 such as your bed,
00:40:38.260 don't do it there.
00:40:39.660 Because bed
00:40:40.160 is other stuff.
00:40:41.860 Don't do it
00:40:42.480 in that chair
00:40:43.000 that you always read
00:40:43.940 because that's
00:40:44.900 your reading chair.
00:40:46.040 Don't do it
00:40:46.680 in your chair
00:40:47.400 where you do work.
00:40:48.860 That's your work chair.
00:40:50.540 Find a chair
00:40:51.300 that hasn't been
00:40:52.580 used for anything.
00:40:53.780 It's a place
00:40:54.180 you just don't sit.
00:40:55.420 Get a new chair.
00:40:56.220 Put a pillow
00:40:56.580 on the floor.
00:40:58.160 Find a place
00:40:58.920 that has no
00:40:59.840 prior association.
00:41:02.140 You want to find
00:41:02.920 a place
00:41:03.300 with no prior association.
00:41:05.700 Do you know
00:41:06.100 why it works so well
00:41:07.020 when you go
00:41:07.440 to a hypnotist's office?
00:41:09.600 And sit
00:41:10.220 in the hypnotist's chair?
00:41:11.960 One of the reasons
00:41:12.880 that works better
00:41:13.860 than anything
00:41:15.060 you could do
00:41:15.660 in your own environment
00:41:16.540 is that you've never
00:41:17.460 been in that chair before.
00:41:19.240 And you're entering
00:41:20.140 an environment
00:41:20.900 that's fresh.
00:41:23.300 So whatever associations
00:41:24.620 are formed
00:41:25.380 once you enter
00:41:26.560 the hypnotist's office
00:41:27.660 are formed
00:41:29.040 consciously
00:41:29.700 by the hypnotist.
00:41:30.900 And it happens
00:41:31.900 from the moment
00:41:32.460 you walk in
00:41:33.140 and shake hands
00:41:34.620 back in the old days
00:41:35.660 or in today's world.
00:41:37.340 Hi!
00:41:38.380 I'm over here.
00:41:39.940 But from the moment
00:41:40.800 you walk in
00:41:41.540 the hypnotist
00:41:42.520 is starting
00:41:43.120 the hypnosis.
00:41:45.060 Now,
00:41:45.300 and the hypnotist
00:41:45.840 will tell you this.
00:41:47.080 You know,
00:41:47.360 an ethical hypnotist
00:41:48.740 will tell you
00:41:49.340 that the conversation
00:41:50.880 from hello
00:41:51.680 is part of the process.
00:41:54.160 Now the first part
00:41:55.020 of the process
00:41:55.480 where you're just talking
00:41:56.480 and you think
00:41:57.080 you're having
00:41:57.440 a conversation
00:41:58.180 and you're just talking
00:41:59.500 about what's going
00:42:00.060 to happen next.
00:42:01.160 You think that's
00:42:01.960 not the hypnosis
00:42:02.720 but it's part
00:42:03.780 of the process.
00:42:05.180 And that process
00:42:05.760 is building credibility
00:42:07.280 and making you relax
00:42:09.380 and making you understand
00:42:10.440 what's happening
00:42:11.060 and building
00:42:12.120 an expectation
00:42:12.980 that it's going
00:42:14.200 to happen.
00:42:15.140 So the first part
00:42:16.140 is entirely about
00:42:17.540 building the expectation
00:42:19.480 in your mind
00:42:20.460 that this will work
00:42:22.140 and it's going
00:42:23.140 to happen in a minute.
00:42:24.480 If you don't believe
00:42:25.560 it's going to work
00:42:26.240 for you
00:42:27.500 you're not
00:42:28.420 in the right frame
00:42:29.180 of mind.
00:42:30.240 So the hypnotist
00:42:31.020 will often
00:42:31.860 dress well
00:42:32.800 and maybe have a suit
00:42:33.900 and we're actually
00:42:35.120 taught this.
00:42:35.940 Put a degree
00:42:37.360 on the wall.
00:42:38.780 So you're creating
00:42:39.420 an environment
00:42:39.960 where the person
00:42:40.660 walks in
00:42:41.240 and they're already
00:42:42.320 primed
00:42:43.100 because they've
00:42:44.660 decided they want
00:42:45.460 this before they
00:42:46.160 walk in the door.
00:42:47.540 Once they walk in
00:42:48.520 this is not about
00:42:49.440 the wanting anymore.
00:42:51.040 This is about
00:42:51.640 the belief.
00:42:52.720 So it starts with
00:42:53.340 wanting to be part
00:42:54.200 of the process.
00:42:55.240 You can't avoid that.
00:42:56.500 This is only for
00:42:57.320 willing people.
00:42:58.700 Secondly,
00:42:59.280 they walk into
00:42:59.820 the hypnotist's office
00:43:00.700 and now they're
00:43:01.620 being primed.
00:43:02.920 You're just having
00:43:03.460 a conversation.
00:43:04.380 The hypnotist is saying
00:43:05.240 in a moment
00:43:06.260 I'll ask you to relax.
00:43:08.220 This is what will happen.
00:43:09.560 This is what you'll feel.
00:43:11.060 This is what to expect.
00:43:12.580 I do this all the time.
00:43:14.220 You're my millionth person.
00:43:16.320 Yeah, it'll totally
00:43:16.920 work with you.
00:43:18.040 I'm an expert on this.
00:43:19.920 And your mind
00:43:20.840 by this point
00:43:21.540 remember you wanted this.
00:43:22.760 You're so primed.
00:43:25.300 And the priming
00:43:26.060 is a really big part
00:43:27.860 of the process.
00:43:29.320 If you haven't
00:43:29.960 primed people right
00:43:31.020 it doesn't work.
00:43:32.240 Or it doesn't work
00:43:33.200 as well.
00:43:35.520 So that's the first thing.
00:43:37.560 Alright, so
00:43:37.940 back to you.
00:43:39.220 You found a place
00:43:40.280 in your house
00:43:40.840 that isn't used
00:43:42.520 for anything else.
00:43:43.360 Now you've recreated
00:43:44.420 in a small way
00:43:45.480 what the hypnotist's office
00:43:47.860 does.
00:43:48.400 A fresh environment.
00:43:50.120 Alright, it has
00:43:50.700 no associations.
00:43:52.040 So you've got
00:43:52.400 your little fresh environment
00:43:53.560 your chair, your seat,
00:43:54.720 your pillow,
00:43:55.300 the place that you're
00:43:55.960 only going to do this.
00:43:58.020 And then you say
00:43:58.860 this is my meditation place.
00:44:01.400 Oh, what did I do there?
00:44:03.200 Did I just conflate
00:44:04.320 meditation
00:44:05.100 with hypnosis
00:44:07.000 and self-hypnosis?
00:44:08.220 Yes, I did.
00:44:09.400 Because they're not
00:44:10.040 that different.
00:44:11.060 The goal of
00:44:12.000 just meditating
00:44:13.280 is being able
00:44:15.260 to quickly
00:44:15.860 put yourself
00:44:16.500 in a relaxed state.
00:44:18.960 The goal
00:44:19.760 of self-hypnosis
00:44:20.620 usually
00:44:21.560 is to do the same.
00:44:23.920 And they look
00:44:24.820 almost the same.
00:44:27.700 So all you've got to do
00:44:28.760 is find your little place
00:44:30.140 do your little tricks
00:44:31.920 of squeezing your muscles
00:44:33.020 if you have to do it
00:44:33.920 the first time.
00:44:35.100 Eventually
00:44:35.540 let me explain this
00:44:38.340 so you can really see
00:44:39.120 how this works.
00:44:39.700 This is just a perfect example.
00:44:42.000 On day one
00:44:42.840 you sit in your fresh
00:44:43.780 little environment
00:44:44.440 with no prior associations
00:44:45.760 and you can't relax.
00:44:48.580 You're tense.
00:44:49.140 You're thinking about life.
00:44:50.740 Do the muscle thing.
00:44:51.720 One muscle at a time
00:44:52.480 one muscle at a time.
00:44:53.540 Works every time.
00:44:54.660 You don't have to wonder
00:44:55.480 if it'll work.
00:44:56.060 It'll work.
00:44:57.820 Then
00:44:58.220 do that
00:44:59.140 every day for a week.
00:45:01.080 What happens
00:45:01.900 on the eighth day?
00:45:03.440 You go to your little
00:45:04.220 special place
00:45:05.040 and you sit down
00:45:06.200 and suddenly
00:45:07.780 you don't have to do
00:45:09.720 the muscle squeezing.
00:45:10.560 because the association
00:45:13.060 of you sitting
00:45:14.140 on the pillow
00:45:14.800 and being super relaxed
00:45:16.860 now has formed
00:45:18.380 an association
00:45:19.600 in your mind
00:45:20.380 if you do it enough.
00:45:21.860 It doesn't take long.
00:45:22.900 A week
00:45:23.300 would be fine
00:45:24.140 and it gets stronger
00:45:25.380 as you go.
00:45:26.680 Now you can
00:45:27.240 disband the muscle squeezing
00:45:29.140 because as soon as
00:45:29.800 you sit there
00:45:30.320 you just say
00:45:31.400 I'm in my place.
00:45:33.640 Boom.
00:45:34.880 Right into it.
00:45:36.540 You've got an hour
00:45:37.420 of serious pleasure.
00:45:40.440 Now
00:45:40.640 I
00:45:42.360 I hate to do this.
00:45:46.360 Well
00:45:46.840 maybe I won't.
00:45:47.920 I'm going to save that.
00:45:49.360 I'm going to save that.
00:45:50.660 I might bring on
00:45:51.580 a special guest
00:45:52.440 in the future
00:45:53.120 to give you
00:45:54.240 a little more
00:45:54.840 tips on
00:45:56.020 meditation.
00:45:58.760 Somebody that
00:45:59.660 I've been
00:46:00.880 I've been reading
00:46:02.000 and listening to people
00:46:02.880 talk about meditation
00:46:03.920 for
00:46:04.560 forever
00:46:06.300 basically
00:46:06.980 and
00:46:08.060 they're all
00:46:09.620 really bad
00:46:10.480 at explaining things
00:46:11.540 and what I mean is
00:46:13.400 when people say
00:46:14.500 you know
00:46:14.880 how do you
00:46:15.320 meditate
00:46:15.620 they say things like
00:46:17.460 well clear your mind
00:46:18.600 and use this mantra
00:46:20.180 and whatever
00:46:20.680 and I always say to myself
00:46:22.340 I don't really get that.
00:46:24.840 You know
00:46:24.980 can you explain it better?
00:46:27.100 Maybe it's the way
00:46:27.780 you're explaining it.
00:46:29.180 Is there something
00:46:29.880 I'm missing?
00:46:31.260 It feels like
00:46:32.100 incomplete.
00:46:32.800 But yes
00:46:35.660 somebody already guessed
00:46:37.100 in the comments.
00:46:39.040 Yeah
00:46:39.160 so Naval
00:46:40.060 Ravikant
00:46:41.300 I was just
00:46:43.620 talking to him
00:46:44.320 the other day
00:46:44.840 and he
00:46:45.980 explained to me
00:46:47.060 meditation
00:46:49.300 in a way
00:46:49.940 that's at least
00:46:50.720 a little bit close
00:46:51.500 to the way
00:46:51.880 I explained it
00:46:52.540 in a way
00:46:53.300 I'd never heard before
00:46:54.140 but he can do
00:46:55.880 a better job
00:46:56.520 of completing
00:46:57.360 this picture
00:46:57.920 so maybe someday
00:46:58.980 we'll ask him
00:47:00.400 to do that
00:47:00.900 and if he's done it
00:47:02.120 independently
00:47:02.700 maybe I can find it.
00:47:06.300 So
00:47:06.460 somebody says
00:47:09.320 it's the disconnecting
00:47:10.460 your body
00:47:11.000 from your mind.
00:47:13.800 Yeah
00:47:14.240 but you know
00:47:15.160 the best way
00:47:15.680 to disconnect
00:47:16.180 your body
00:47:16.700 from your mind
00:47:17.360 if you're not good
00:47:18.080 at it already
00:47:18.680 is that
00:47:19.260 muscle squeezing trick
00:47:20.820 it will work
00:47:21.560 every time.
00:47:25.500 Somebody said
00:47:26.180 I was listening
00:47:26.800 the other day
00:47:27.560 to Dr. Drew
00:47:28.180 and I think
00:47:28.540 your voice
00:47:29.720 that is soothing.
00:47:32.840 Well
00:47:33.320 let me teach you
00:47:34.740 something about voice.
00:47:37.460 Why not?
00:47:39.000 You know
00:47:39.640 I'm going to make it
00:47:40.360 my mission
00:47:40.860 that at least
00:47:42.100 the people
00:47:42.600 who watch
00:47:43.080 my periscopes
00:47:43.980 are going to
00:47:44.520 leave this crisis
00:47:45.360 smarter
00:47:45.920 like a lot smarter
00:47:47.500 maybe healthier too
00:47:48.960 then
00:47:49.740 why not?
00:47:51.120 We can
00:47:51.820 might as well.
00:47:56.220 What was some
00:47:57.060 I forgot what
00:47:57.980 I was going to
00:47:58.280 talk about there.
00:47:59.720 It wasn't
00:48:00.920 hypnosis
00:48:01.560 oh voice
00:48:03.460 that's it.
00:48:04.740 So
00:48:04.960 if you watch
00:48:06.140 there's a movie
00:48:06.760 called
00:48:07.120 Network
00:48:08.180 is that what
00:48:09.060 it's called
00:48:09.360 an old movie
00:48:10.120 about
00:48:11.140 TV news people
00:48:13.100 and
00:48:14.660 one of the
00:48:15.240 characters
00:48:15.640 was giving a tip
00:48:17.140 to somebody
00:48:18.060 who was less
00:48:18.820 good at being
00:48:19.700 on air
00:48:20.320 on the news
00:48:20.880 and it's a tip
00:48:22.260 I'd never heard
00:48:22.880 before
00:48:23.260 and when I heard
00:48:24.360 it I thought
00:48:24.840 well that must be
00:48:25.540 just
00:48:25.780 maybe that's
00:48:26.840 just a movie
00:48:27.520 thing.
00:48:27.920 that's not
00:48:29.100 something that
00:48:29.640 a real
00:48:30.040 newscaster
00:48:30.780 does
00:48:31.240 right?
00:48:31.860 I thought
00:48:32.220 well that
00:48:33.340 can't be a
00:48:33.760 thing
00:48:33.980 and here
00:48:34.780 was what
00:48:35.620 the character
00:48:36.280 I think it
00:48:36.780 was William
00:48:37.260 Hurt
00:48:37.560 said in the
00:48:38.680 movie
00:48:38.880 he was
00:48:39.260 explaining how
00:48:39.940 to read
00:48:40.440 the news
00:48:40.900 he said
00:48:42.000 you should
00:48:42.700 randomly
00:48:44.140 emphasize
00:48:44.940 words
00:48:45.660 and I
00:48:47.220 thought
00:48:47.440 well
00:48:48.120 that doesn't
00:48:49.820 make sense
00:48:50.360 does it?
00:48:51.320 Does it
00:48:51.700 make sense
00:48:52.180 that if you're
00:48:52.720 reading off the
00:48:53.380 teleprompter
00:48:54.000 that you
00:48:55.040 would just
00:48:55.320 on your
00:48:55.660 own
00:48:55.980 you would
00:48:56.600 just
00:48:56.760 randomly
00:48:57.360 emphasize
00:48:58.140 a word
00:48:58.680 doesn't
00:49:00.160 it make
00:49:00.380 more sense
00:49:01.000 that you
00:49:01.920 would
00:49:02.060 emphasize
00:49:02.420 the important
00:49:03.140 words
00:49:03.540 right?
00:49:04.840 I mean
00:49:05.120 common sense
00:49:05.780 and then
00:49:07.060 you watch
00:49:07.840 him do it
00:49:08.400 and he's
00:49:09.220 clearly just
00:49:09.880 emphasizing
00:49:10.460 random words
00:49:11.420 and you
00:49:12.420 watch it
00:49:12.780 and you
00:49:12.940 go
00:49:13.160 why does
00:49:15.020 that sound
00:49:15.440 right?
00:49:16.920 why does
00:49:17.340 that sound
00:49:17.820 right?
00:49:19.060 so what
00:49:19.840 you're hearing
00:49:20.360 in my
00:49:21.040 vocal
00:49:22.200 presentation
00:49:22.720 is that
00:49:23.940 technique
00:49:24.520 it's a
00:49:25.320 technique
00:49:25.580 I learned
00:49:26.100 from that
00:49:26.540 movie
00:49:26.880 but didn't
00:49:27.700 believe it
00:49:28.300 you know
00:49:29.100 it took me
00:49:29.580 years
00:49:30.320 before I
00:49:31.480 figured out
00:49:31.960 that's a
00:49:32.720 real technique
00:49:33.720 that that's
00:49:34.600 a thing
00:49:34.940 and watch
00:49:36.520 me do it
00:49:36.860 right now
00:49:37.280 so you're
00:49:38.000 actually watching
00:49:38.640 it happen
00:49:39.020 in real time
00:49:39.640 so you know
00:49:40.180 but watch
00:49:41.520 watch the
00:49:43.260 pace
00:49:44.080 and the
00:49:45.640 the variation
00:49:46.800 that you can
00:49:48.240 tell I'm
00:49:48.600 putting into
00:49:49.000 it
00:49:49.280 now that
00:49:49.960 the change
00:49:50.420 in tone
00:49:51.020 helps a
00:49:51.760 little bit
00:49:52.160 so sometimes
00:49:53.300 I'm down
00:49:53.680 here
00:49:53.960 sometimes
00:49:54.640 I'm up
00:49:55.080 here
00:49:55.280 and I
00:49:55.800 make sure
00:49:56.140 that I
00:49:56.540 vary it
00:49:57.220 so that
00:49:58.060 the varying
00:49:58.780 of the
00:49:59.240 tone
00:49:59.540 is both
00:50:00.320 intentional
00:50:00.900 and it's
00:50:02.400 technique
00:50:02.960 but even
00:50:04.520 more than
00:50:04.900 that
00:50:05.140 is
00:50:05.600 the
00:50:06.840 spacing
00:50:07.400 of words
00:50:08.120 watch
00:50:10.020 these
00:50:10.720 two
00:50:11.100 examples
00:50:11.540 I'll just
00:50:11.940 read something
00:50:12.480 off my
00:50:12.920 page
00:50:13.320 randomly
00:50:13.900 oh
00:50:16.800 well
00:50:17.200 I'm going
00:50:19.340 to read
00:50:19.600 my own
00:50:20.040 tweet
00:50:20.400 I forgot
00:50:21.280 I was
00:50:21.600 going to
00:50:21.800 talk about
00:50:22.220 this
00:50:22.520 and it's
00:50:23.240 about
00:50:23.480 the fact
00:50:23.980 do you
00:50:24.980 remember
00:50:25.300 do you
00:50:26.120 remember
00:50:26.380 early on
00:50:27.040 I told
00:50:27.440 you when
00:50:27.820 there was
00:50:28.080 a story
00:50:28.460 about the
00:50:29.000 White House
00:50:29.560 office
00:50:30.020 pandemic
00:50:31.320 the pandemic
00:50:33.060 office got
00:50:34.180 closed
00:50:34.720 and so
00:50:35.640 President Trump
00:50:36.240 was getting
00:50:36.640 heat
00:50:37.000 because he
00:50:37.600 closed
00:50:38.160 the so-called
00:50:38.960 pandemic
00:50:39.580 office
00:50:40.280 before the
00:50:41.960 pandemic
00:50:42.360 and everybody
00:50:43.980 said well
00:50:44.420 that sounds
00:50:44.880 bad
00:50:45.240 if you have
00:50:46.100 a pandemic
00:50:46.720 office
00:50:47.160 and you
00:50:47.580 close it
00:50:48.120 before the
00:50:48.560 pandemic
00:50:49.000 and then
00:50:49.460 you need
00:50:49.800 it
00:50:49.940 well that's
00:50:50.380 pretty bad
00:50:50.940 and the
00:50:52.520 person who
00:50:52.980 ran that
00:50:53.400 office
00:50:53.800 complained
00:50:54.360 and said
00:50:54.760 yeah
00:50:55.100 he closed
00:50:56.320 my department
00:50:56.980 sure wish
00:50:58.040 that department
00:50:58.540 was here
00:51:00.100 what did I
00:51:01.280 tell you
00:51:01.680 on day one
00:51:02.320 with no
00:51:03.600 knowledge
00:51:04.120 except
00:51:05.280 experience
00:51:06.140 I would
00:51:07.440 guess
00:51:07.780 that all
00:51:08.580 of you
00:51:08.900 who have
00:51:09.240 a lot
00:51:09.500 of corporate
00:51:10.120 experience
00:51:10.820 were on
00:51:12.180 to this
00:51:12.480 from the
00:51:12.880 start
00:51:13.240 anytime
00:51:14.820 you
00:51:15.220 consolidate
00:51:15.900 departments
00:51:17.000 and get
00:51:17.520 rid of
00:51:17.780 the fat
00:51:18.280 what
00:51:19.340 happens
00:51:19.760 to the
00:51:20.140 fat
00:51:20.520 does
00:51:21.980 the
00:51:22.200 fat
00:51:22.660 meaning
00:51:23.400 the
00:51:23.620 people
00:51:23.880 that
00:51:24.080 you
00:51:24.180 got
00:51:24.380 rid
00:51:24.560 of
00:51:24.760 because
00:51:25.020 they
00:51:25.200 weren't
00:51:25.500 pulling
00:51:25.840 their
00:51:26.060 weight
00:51:26.340 do those
00:51:27.220 people
00:51:27.460 go off
00:51:27.960 and say
00:51:28.320 well
00:51:29.180 good job
00:51:30.140 there
00:51:30.340 boss
00:51:30.760 you got
00:51:31.660 rid of
00:51:31.940 the fat
00:51:32.380 too bad
00:51:33.560 I'm the
00:51:33.940 fat
00:51:34.240 but
00:51:35.140 you know
00:51:36.020 you did
00:51:36.380 a good
00:51:36.600 job
00:51:36.920 because you
00:51:37.180 got rid
00:51:37.540 of me
00:51:38.040 because I
00:51:38.960 was the
00:51:39.280 fat
00:51:39.620 has
00:51:41.000 anybody
00:51:41.280 in the
00:51:41.600 entire
00:51:41.860 world
00:51:42.200 ever done
00:51:42.600 that
00:51:42.900 no
00:51:43.500 no
00:51:44.480 the person
00:51:45.380 who is
00:51:45.760 the fat
00:51:46.380 complains
00:51:47.680 that it
00:51:47.960 was all
00:51:48.300 done
00:51:48.540 wrong
00:51:48.880 and it's
00:51:49.200 a big
00:51:49.480 mistake
00:51:49.900 and they
00:51:50.300 don't know
00:51:50.620 how valuable
00:51:51.220 you are
00:51:51.840 and man
00:51:52.640 are they
00:51:52.860 going to
00:51:53.060 pay for
00:51:53.400 it when
00:51:53.620 the pandemic
00:51:54.120 comes
00:51:54.540 that's what
00:51:56.160 the fat
00:51:56.580 says
00:51:56.900 so I
00:51:58.600 was waiting
00:51:59.040 for the
00:51:59.460 news
00:51:59.760 to correct
00:52:00.960 this
00:52:01.260 and sure
00:52:01.660 enough
00:52:01.880 the
00:52:02.060 Washington
00:52:02.460 Post
00:52:02.880 ran an
00:52:03.400 article
00:52:03.680 by the
00:52:04.760 guy
00:52:05.000 who made
00:52:05.440 the
00:52:05.620 decision
00:52:06.080 remember
00:52:06.860 I told
00:52:07.200 you
00:52:07.420 you have
00:52:08.080 to find
00:52:08.400 out
00:52:08.660 why
00:52:09.400 they
00:52:09.580 did
00:52:09.760 it
00:52:10.020 because
00:52:10.900 if you
00:52:11.180 haven't
00:52:11.380 heard
00:52:11.540 the
00:52:11.780 context
00:52:12.540 of why
00:52:13.140 it was
00:52:13.400 closed
00:52:13.720 you don't
00:52:14.080 really know
00:52:14.500 anything
00:52:14.800 and my
00:52:15.840 assumption
00:52:16.260 at the
00:52:16.680 time
00:52:17.000 was that
00:52:17.440 they didn't
00:52:17.820 close it
00:52:18.480 and get
00:52:18.780 rid of
00:52:19.040 the
00:52:19.180 function
00:52:19.600 but rather
00:52:20.840 based on
00:52:22.440 experience
00:52:23.100 in the
00:52:23.400 corporate
00:52:23.660 world
00:52:24.080 it probably
00:52:25.140 was folded
00:52:25.860 into some
00:52:26.480 other group
00:52:27.020 for a
00:52:27.620 perfectly
00:52:27.980 good
00:52:28.280 reason
00:52:28.620 and so
00:52:29.660 finally
00:52:30.020 the guy
00:52:30.500 who
00:52:30.760 made
00:52:31.720 the
00:52:31.900 decision
00:52:32.320 the
00:52:33.400 actual
00:52:34.120 one
00:52:34.480 person
00:52:34.860 who said
00:52:35.340 yeah
00:52:35.560 that was
00:52:36.000 me
00:52:36.400 I did
00:52:37.660 that
00:52:38.040 I got
00:52:39.180 rid of
00:52:39.440 that
00:52:39.580 office
00:52:39.920 by combining
00:52:40.660 it into
00:52:41.020 the other
00:52:41.320 and he
00:52:41.960 explained
00:52:42.340 why he
00:52:42.720 did it
00:52:43.080 and then
00:52:43.460 you say
00:52:43.800 oh
00:52:44.420 it was
00:52:44.840 duplicate
00:52:45.320 it was
00:52:46.360 duplicate
00:52:46.740 he got
00:52:47.920 rid of
00:52:48.220 duplication
00:52:48.900 now
00:52:49.980 did
00:52:50.740 getting
00:52:51.000 rid of
00:52:51.480 duplication
00:52:52.460 did
00:52:55.680 getting
00:52:55.920 rid of
00:52:56.320 duplication
00:52:57.260 change
00:52:58.140 anything
00:52:58.480 probably
00:53:01.180 made it
00:53:01.560 better
00:53:01.840 but it
00:53:02.660 certainly
00:53:02.860 didn't
00:53:03.100 make it
00:53:03.400 worse
00:53:03.680 anyway
00:53:04.420 so
00:53:05.480 I'm
00:53:06.100 going to
00:53:06.260 read my
00:53:06.660 tweet
00:53:07.060 to talk
00:53:07.960 about
00:53:08.200 this
00:53:08.500 vocal
00:53:09.200 process
00:53:10.320 and I'm
00:53:12.640 going to
00:53:12.740 show you
00:53:13.080 that I'm
00:53:13.820 randomly
00:53:14.400 accentuating
00:53:16.080 words
00:53:16.460 but I
00:53:17.200 also
00:53:17.380 this is
00:53:17.820 a technique
00:53:18.500 I added
00:53:18.860 myself
00:53:19.280 I sometimes
00:53:20.420 randomly
00:53:21.100 add a
00:53:21.680 space
00:53:22.140 because if
00:53:23.660 you're listening
00:53:24.060 to somebody
00:53:24.540 talk and
00:53:25.140 they're at
00:53:25.380 a certain
00:53:25.760 pace
00:53:26.220 and they
00:53:29.380 pause
00:53:29.880 your focus
00:53:32.120 goes right
00:53:32.920 to it
00:53:33.400 so if
00:53:34.720 somebody
00:53:34.980 goes
00:53:35.200 your
00:53:36.960 brain
00:53:37.240 just
00:53:37.540 acclimates
00:53:38.480 to it
00:53:38.760 and you're
00:53:38.980 like
00:53:39.120 oh
00:53:39.340 there's
00:53:39.580 this
00:53:39.720 background
00:53:40.120 buzz
00:53:40.600 I'm
00:53:42.600 trying to
00:53:43.060 follow along
00:53:43.700 I think
00:53:44.020 I got
00:53:44.280 most of
00:53:44.640 that
00:53:44.780 sentence
00:53:45.240 I'm
00:53:47.040 so bored
00:53:47.560 I'm
00:53:47.740 thinking
00:53:47.940 about
00:53:48.220 other
00:53:48.440 things
00:53:48.740 I'm
00:53:48.940 half
00:53:49.140 listening
00:53:49.480 so the
00:53:51.940 more
00:53:52.200 the same
00:53:54.100 your speech
00:53:55.040 is the
00:53:55.740 less people
00:53:56.240 pay attention
00:53:56.800 what is
00:53:58.100 the number
00:53:58.460 one rule
00:53:59.060 of persuasion
00:53:59.760 anybody
00:54:00.700 anybody
00:54:01.560 attention
00:54:03.100 the number
00:54:04.660 one rule
00:54:05.360 of
00:54:05.640 persuasion
00:54:06.620 is
00:54:09.860 attention
00:54:10.260 see what I
00:54:11.700 just did
00:54:12.040 there
00:54:12.280 do you see
00:54:12.900 how I
00:54:13.160 left a
00:54:13.780 little
00:54:13.920 gap
00:54:14.280 and you
00:54:15.420 already
00:54:15.640 even knew
00:54:16.020 what I
00:54:16.260 was going
00:54:16.520 to say
00:54:16.880 right
00:54:17.520 you knew
00:54:18.520 what I
00:54:18.780 was going
00:54:19.040 to say
00:54:19.240 because I
00:54:19.560 said it
00:54:19.840 twice
00:54:20.240 in a
00:54:20.740 row
00:54:20.920 the second
00:54:22.080 time I
00:54:22.460 said it
00:54:22.800 I put
00:54:23.140 it in
00:54:23.320 a pause
00:54:23.760 and I
00:54:24.840 made you
00:54:25.360 stop and
00:54:25.860 pay
00:54:26.000 attention
00:54:26.380 and it
00:54:27.440 worked
00:54:27.860 now you
00:54:29.000 were paying
00:54:29.300 attention
00:54:29.600 anyway but
00:54:30.200 you could
00:54:30.880 probably feel
00:54:31.460 it as
00:54:32.420 soon as I
00:54:32.960 stopped my
00:54:34.120 sentence in
00:54:34.620 the middle
00:54:34.940 and there
00:54:35.240 was an
00:54:35.540 unexpected
00:54:36.060 pause
00:54:36.580 what did
00:54:36.960 you do
00:54:37.320 you paid
00:54:38.580 more
00:54:38.800 attention

00:54:40.380 I do
00:54:40.660 it
00:54:40.900 so here
00:54:42.180 I'll just
00:54:42.520 read a
00:54:43.380 tweet I
00:54:43.820 wrote
00:54:44.080 and I
00:54:45.260 said
00:54:45.460 as I
00:54:46.840 told you
00:54:47.180 on day

00:54:50.260 experience
00:54:51.020 alone

00:54:54.620 the
00:54:55.220 White
00:54:55.460 House
00:54:55.760 didn't

00:54:58.620 response

00:55:02.740 I
00:55:03.080 was
00:55:03.240 there
00:55:03.420 was
00:55:03.620 the
00:55:03.800 guy
00:55:03.940 who
00:55:04.080 wrote
00:55:04.240 the
00:55:04.380 article
00:55:04.660 not
00:55:04.880 me
00:55:05.080 now you
00:55:06.960 see what
00:55:07.220 I
00:55:07.340 did
00:55:07.540 now if
00:55:08.240 you said
00:55:08.520 to yourself
00:55:08.880 yeah but
00:55:09.340 I
00:55:09.500 wouldn't
00:55:09.760 have
00:55:09.900 known
00:55:10.380 where to
00:55:11.420 put
00:55:11.580 the
00:55:11.740 pause
00:55:12.300 doesn't
00:55:13.400 matter
00:55:13.700 that's
00:55:14.280 the
00:55:14.400 beauty
00:55:14.620 of it
00:55:15.000 you can
00:55:15.600 kind of
00:55:15.900 put it
00:55:16.160 anywhere
00:55:16.620 it's
00:55:17.780 only to
00:55:18.120 make
00:55:18.260 people
00:55:18.520 pay
00:55:18.740 attention
00:55:19.140 it's
00:55:20.380 not

00:55:20.840 make
00:55:20.980 them
00:55:21.120 pay
00:55:21.260 attention
00:55:21.580 necessarily
00:55:22.500 to
00:55:22.840 the
00:55:22.980 next
00:55:23.180 word

00:55:24.380 in
00:55:24.960 the
00:55:25.120 best
00:55:25.540 form
00:55:27.780 you're
00:55:28.540 making
00:55:28.780 them
00:55:28.980 pay
00:55:29.120 attention
00:55:29.500 for
00:55:30.020 the
00:55:30.180 next
00:55:30.400 word
00:55:30.740 but
00:55:30.940 you
00:55:31.020 don't
00:55:31.140 need
00:55:31.320 to
00:55:31.480 you
00:55:32.020 can
00:55:32.140 just
00:55:32.300 use
00:55:32.500 it
00:55:32.600 to
00:55:32.720 make
00:55:32.860 them

00:55:33.160 attention
00:55:33.480 in
00:55:33.700 general
00:55:33.960 so
00:55:35.280 when
00:55:36.000 I
00:55:36.160 so
00:55:36.960 let's
00:55:37.700 say
00:55:37.800 I
00:55:58.780 unexpected
00:55:59.500 that
00:56:00.380 I
00:56:00.540 nailed
00:56:00.840 that
00:56:01.080 so
00:56:01.320 hard
00:56:01.640 I
00:56:02.760 mean
00:56:02.940 admit
00:56:03.340 it
00:56:03.600 who
00:56:04.640 else
00:56:05.080 did
00:56:05.860 anybody
00:56:06.160 else
00:56:06.520 was
00:56:06.860 there
00:56:06.980 anybody
00:56:07.260 else
00:56:07.520 in the
00:56:07.760 entire
00:56:08.260 freaking
00:56:08.760 country
00:56:09.240 who
00:56:10.040 said
00:56:10.400 in public
00:56:10.920 anyway
00:56:11.240 some of
00:56:11.700 you
00:56:11.800 probably
00:56:12.080 were
00:56:12.300 onto
00:56:12.520 it
00:56:12.660 early
00:56:12.920 but
00:56:13.640 in
00:56:13.780 public
00:56:14.040 did
00:56:14.280 anybody
00:56:14.580 else
00:56:14.860 say
00:56:15.080 nope
00:56:15.820 fake
00:56:16.840 news
00:56:17.240 probably
00:56:17.780 got
00:56:18.060 folded
00:56:18.400 into
00:56:18.700 another
00:56:19.060 department
00:56:19.520 because
00:56:19.920 of
00:56:20.060 redundancy
00:56:20.580 basically
00:56:21.680 I
00:56:21.960 said
00:56:22.160 that
00:56:22.460 ah
00:56:23.820 somebody
00:56:24.760 just
00:56:25.000 reminded
00:56:25.380 me
00:56:25.600 of
00:56:25.720 something
00:56:25.960 I
00:56:26.180 desperately
00:56:26.520 wanted
00:56:27.600 to
00:56:27.780 talk
00:56:28.000 about
00:56:28.180 and
00:56:28.300 I
00:56:28.380 kept
00:56:28.540 forgetting
00:56:28.880 so
00:56:29.780 thank
00:56:30.060 you
00:56:30.240 so
00:56:30.680 somebody
00:56:30.980 was
00:56:31.160 saying
00:56:31.460 just
00:56:33.800 said
00:56:34.380 the
00:56:34.520 word
00:56:34.700 ego
00:56:35.160 somebody
00:56:36.660 contacted
00:56:37.360 me
00:56:37.780 privately
00:56:38.820 after
00:56:39.200 Periscope
00:56:39.780 somebody
00:56:40.220 was
00:56:40.500 new
00:56:40.740 to
00:56:40.900 the
00:56:41.060 Periscope
00:56:41.660 and
00:56:42.500 saw
00:56:42.740 me
00:56:42.960 bragging
00:56:43.540 about
00:56:44.300 a
00:56:44.460 prediction
00:56:44.780 and
00:56:46.080 they
00:56:46.200 said

00:56:46.820 like
00:56:47.040 your
00:56:47.180 work
00:56:47.460 but
00:56:47.760 it
00:56:48.080 just
00:56:48.500 really
00:56:48.800 turned
00:56:49.100 me
00:56:49.300 off

00:56:51.720 success
00:56:52.460 predicting
00:56:52.960 something
00:56:53.400 it's
00:56:53.580 like

00:56:54.460 like
00:56:54.640 the
00:56:54.740 bragging
00:56:55.160 you

00:56:55.900 ego
00:56:56.160 stuff
00:56:56.520 now
00:56:57.800 and
00:56:58.860 I
00:56:58.980 explained
00:56:59.280 to him
00:56:59.600 that
00:56:59.900 he's
00:57:00.100 lacking
00:57:00.360 context
00:57:01.080 if
00:57:01.900 you've
00:57:02.080 been
00:57:02.200 watching
00:57:02.580 the
00:57:03.220 Periscopes
00:57:03.820 you
00:57:04.360 know
00:57:04.580 that
00:57:04.820 the

00:57:08.320 and
00:57:08.640 I'm
00:57:08.940 doing
00:57:09.120 it
00:57:09.280 intentionally
00:57:09.700 is
00:57:10.540 to
00:57:10.860 reinforce
00:57:11.960 that
00:57:13.760 I
00:57:14.000 have
00:57:14.140 a
00:57:14.280 certain
00:57:14.500 filter
00:57:14.940 on
00:57:15.180 the
00:57:15.320 world
00:57:15.640 that
00:57:16.100 I
00:57:16.260 believe
00:57:16.740 can
00:57:17.400 be
00:57:17.580 validated
00:57:18.060 by
00:57:18.420 being
00:57:18.660 better
00:57:18.940 at
00:57:19.120 predicting
00:57:19.580 than
00:57:20.580 other
00:57:20.780 people
00:57:21.080 so
00:57:22.600 should
00:57:23.600 I
00:57:23.720 not
00:57:24.040 tell
00:57:24.320 you
00:57:24.500 that
00:57:24.840 because
00:57:25.920 that
00:57:26.200 would
00:57:26.460 be
00:57:26.580 sort
00:57:26.780 of
00:57:26.860 egotistical
00:57:27.580 wouldn't
00:57:27.860 it
00:57:28.240 well
00:57:29.300 one
00:57:29.540 of the
00:57:29.760 lessons

00:57:30.600 you
00:57:30.800 and
00:57:30.940 I
00:57:32.000 think
00:57:32.240 maybe
00:57:32.480 the
00:57:32.660 most
00:57:32.880 important
00:57:33.200 thing
00:57:33.440 I'll
00:57:33.580 ever
00:57:33.740 teach
00:57:33.980 you
00:57:34.180 is
00:57:34.840 to
00:57:35.020 remove
00:57:35.480 your
00:57:35.740 ego
00:57:36.200 from
00:57:37.640 the
00:57:37.840 situation
00:57:38.360 if
00:57:38.640 you
00:57:38.760 want
00:57:38.920 to
00:57:38.980 be
00:57:39.100 effective
00:57:39.540 your
00:57:40.200 ego
00:57:40.460 is
00:57:40.620 your
00:57:40.740 enemy
00:57:40.980 and
00:57:41.200 it's
00:57:41.340 your
00:57:41.460 obstacle
00:57:41.900 it's
00:57:42.320 not
00:57:42.460 your
00:57:42.600 friend
00:57:42.880 it's
00:57:43.100 not
00:57:43.260 who
00:57:43.460 you
00:57:43.680 are
00:57:43.980 your
00:57:50.580 to
00:57:50.700 a
00:57:50.840 tool
00:57:51.040 but
00:57:51.260 you
00:57:51.340 have
00:57:51.440 to
00:57:51.540 work
00:57:51.720 at
00:57:51.920 it
00:57:52.220 in
00:57:53.060 this
00:57:53.300 case
00:57:53.700 in
00:57:54.500 order
00:57:54.720 for
00:57:54.980 me
00:57:55.280 to
00:57:55.800 let
00:57:56.500 the
00:57:56.680 audience
00:57:57.000 understand
00:57:57.660 that
00:57:59.080 I'm
00:57:59.260 making
00:57:59.520 predictions
00:58:00.020 and
00:58:00.840 I'm
00:58:01.080 really
00:58:01.480 reinforcing
00:58:02.080 them
00:58:02.340 when
00:58:02.480 I
00:58:02.580 get
00:58:02.720 them
00:58:02.880 right
00:58:03.140 but
00:58:03.700 I'm
00:58:03.860 also
00:58:04.180 really
00:58:04.560 reinforcing
00:58:05.120 them
00:58:05.360 when
00:58:05.500 I
00:58:05.600 get
00:58:05.740 them
00:58:05.920 wrong
00:58:06.240 I
00:58:06.600 think
00:58:06.800 everybody
00:58:07.840 would
00:58:08.100 admit
00:58:08.580 that
00:58:08.820 right
00:58:09.060 you've
00:58:09.680 seen
00:58:09.840 me
00:58:10.000 make
00:58:10.180 predictions
00:58:10.600 that
00:58:10.840 were
00:58:11.000 wrong
00:58:11.360 I
00:58:11.940 say
00:58:12.140 it's
00:58:12.320 wrong
00:58:12.660 I'll
00:58:12.960 tell
00:58:13.100 you
00:58:13.200 a million
00:58:13.500 times
00:58:13.980 I'll
00:58:14.500 tell
00:58:14.620 you
00:58:14.720 why
00:58:14.920 I
00:58:15.080 thought
00:58:15.260 it
00:58:15.340 was
00:58:15.440 wrong
00:58:15.680 etc
00:58:16.120 so
00:58:16.900 we're
00:58:17.080 trying
00:58:17.360 to
00:58:17.500 process
00:58:17.840 we're
00:58:18.240 doing
00:58:18.400 it
00:58:18.540 in
00:58:18.660 public
00:58:18.940 it
00:58:19.240 requires
00:58:19.720 me
00:58:20.020 to
00:58:20.340 make
00:58:20.800 a
00:58:21.020 public
00:58:21.360 prediction
00:58:21.760 and
00:58:22.620 then
00:58:22.900 reinforce
00:58:24.240 how
00:58:25.580 awesome
00:58:25.940 it
00:58:26.100 was
00:58:26.320 that
00:58:26.480 I
00:58:26.600 got
00:58:26.760 it
00:58:26.880 right
00:58:27.120 it
00:58:28.640 has
00:58:28.820 nothing
00:58:29.120 to
00:58:29.340 do
00:58:29.480 with
00:58:29.660 how
00:58:29.820 I
00:58:29.980 feel
00:58:30.260 about
00:58:30.500 myself
00:58:30.960 I
00:58:32.340 know
00:58:32.740 that
00:58:33.500 this
00:58:33.760 is
00:58:34.160 bothersome
00:58:36.320 and
00:58:36.500 annoying
00:58:36.880 to
00:58:37.120 some
00:58:37.360 types
00:58:37.620 of
00:58:37.780 personalities
00:58:38.400 and
00:58:39.560 it's
00:58:39.760 probably
00:58:40.100 interfering
00:58:41.780 with
00:58:42.100 your
00:58:42.260 own
00:58:42.460 ego
00:58:42.740 if I
00:58:43.980 could
00:58:44.140 put
00:58:44.300 a
00:58:44.420 gas
00:58:44.680 on
00:58:44.860 it
00:58:44.980 what's
00:58:45.220 happening
00:58:45.540 if
00:58:46.260 you
00:58:46.420 could
00:58:46.620 remove
00:58:47.020 your
00:58:47.480 ego
00:58:47.780 from
00:58:48.100 it
00:58:48.320 then
00:58:49.580 you
00:58:49.820 would
00:58:50.020 be
00:58:50.200 okay
00:58:50.620 with
00:58:51.340 me
00:58:51.540 doing
00:58:51.780 what
00:58:52.000 I'm
00:58:52.160 doing
00:58:52.480 knowing
00:58:53.340 that
00:58:53.740 I'm
00:58:54.600 embarrassing
00:58:55.120 myself
00:58:55.660 intentionally
00:58:56.820 because
00:58:58.000 whether
00:58:59.000 I'm
00:59:00.000 bragging
00:59:00.360 about
00:59:00.640 my
00:59:00.880 successes
00:59:01.300 or
00:59:01.640 I
00:59:01.780 get
00:59:01.880 something
00:59:02.180 wrong
00:59:02.600 both
00:59:03.860 of
00:59:04.000 those
00:59:04.160 are
00:59:04.280 reasons
00:59:04.540 to
00:59:04.720 be
00:59:04.840 embarrassed
00:59:05.300 right
00:59:05.640 both
00:59:06.960 of
00:59:07.100 those
00:59:07.240 are
00:59:07.360 reasons
00:59:07.640 for
00:59:07.840 criticism
00:59:08.280 and
00:59:08.840 indeed
00:59:09.280 I
00:59:09.420 get
00:59:09.560 criticisms
00:59:10.040 for
00:59:10.380 both
00:59:10.680 so
00:59:11.360 I'm
00:59:11.460 telling
00:59:11.640 you
00:59:11.780 in
00:59:11.880 advance
00:59:12.260 I'm
00:59:12.920 not
00:59:13.100 going
00:59:13.220 to
00:59:13.360 feel
00:59:14.060 bad
00:59:14.440 when
00:59:14.620 I
00:59:14.700 get
00:59:14.820 one
00:59:14.980 wrong
00:59:15.240 I
00:59:15.920 just
00:59:16.100 don't
00:59:16.300 feel
00:59:16.560 shame
00:59:16.920 that
00:59:17.140 way
00:59:17.340 and
00:59:17.980 I'm
00:59:18.140 not
00:59:18.300 going to
00:59:18.460 be
00:59:18.620 shamed
00:59:19.000 into
00:59:19.420 not
00:59:20.420 crowing
00:59:21.980 when I
00:59:22.340 get it
00:59:22.620 right
00:59:22.980 and I'll
00:59:23.740 say
00:59:23.900 crowing
00:59:24.880 because
00:59:25.240 internally
00:59:26.080 I don't
00:59:26.780 feel like
00:59:27.140 I'm
00:59:27.380 bragging
00:59:27.800 I feel
00:59:28.140 like this
00:59:28.460 is a
00:59:28.760 necessary
00:59:29.180 piece
00:59:29.540 of
00:59:29.680 information
00:59:30.160 to
00:59:30.940 know
00:59:31.200 when
00:59:31.340 it's
00:59:31.500 right
00:59:31.720 and
00:59:31.900 when
00:59:32.300 it's
00:59:32.520 wrong
00:59:32.760 take
00:59:34.660 this
00:59:34.980 emergency
00:59:35.560 situation
00:59:36.220 for
00:59:36.520 example
00:59:36.940 those
00:59:38.020 of
00:59:38.200 you
00:59:38.340 who
00:59:38.520 have
00:59:38.660 watched
00:59:38.980 me
00:59:39.220 be
00:59:39.440 right
00:59:39.760 about
00:59:40.100 who
00:59:40.340 was
00:59:40.500 going
00:59:40.660 to
00:59:40.700 be
00:59:40.820 the
00:59:41.000 president
00:59:41.380 those
00:59:41.820 of
00:59:41.980 you
00:59:42.100 who
00:59:42.280 watched
00:59:42.540 me
00:59:42.780 be
00:59:43.020 right
00:59:43.400 about
00:59:43.940 talks
00:59:44.900 with
00:59:45.140 North
00:59:45.420 Korea
00:59:45.760 at least
00:59:46.180 calming
00:59:46.660 things
00:59:47.000 down
00:59:47.320 we
00:59:47.620 still
00:59:47.840 think
00:59:48.040 there's
00:59:48.240 a
00:59:48.320 long
00:59:48.480 way
00:59:48.620 to
00:59:48.740 go
00:59:48.860 there
00:59:49.060 those
00:59:49.700 of
00:59:49.860 you
00:59:49.980 watch
00:59:50.240 me
00:59:50.400 right
00:59:50.720 that
00:59:51.020 we
00:59:51.180 were
00:59:51.320 not
00:59:51.580 going
00:59:51.840 to
00:59:52.040 a
00:59:52.220 kinetic
00:59:52.560 war
00:59:52.940 with
00:59:53.160 Iran
00:59:53.580 back
00:59:54.000 back
00:59:54.020 then
00:59:54.820 those
00:59:55.760 of
00:59:55.940 you
00:59:56.120 watched
00:59:56.580 me
00:59:56.820 being
00:59:57.100 right
00:59:57.420 in
00:59:57.800 the
00:59:57.940 weirdest
00:59:58.300 most
00:59:58.880 unexplained
00:59:59.700 way
01:00:00.020 I
01:00:01.040 might
01:00:01.320 be
01:00:01.480 right
01:00:01.660 about
01:00:01.880 Kamala
01:00:02.240 Harris
01:00:02.600 although
01:00:02.940 that
01:00:03.560 one's
01:00:03.820 probably
01:00:04.140 more
01:00:04.380 of a
01:00:04.620 50-50
01:00:05.180 situation
01:00:05.820 but
01:00:06.580 the
01:00:06.700 fact
01:00:06.900 that
01:00:07.200 she's
01:00:07.620 being
01:00:07.880 you
01:00:08.500 know
01:00:08.680 she's
01:00:09.180 in
01:00:09.260 the
01:00:09.420 top
01:00:09.660 two
01:00:10.020 conversation
01:00:10.780 top
01:00:11.640 three
01:00:11.880 maybe
01:00:12.180 conversation
01:00:13.280 for
01:00:13.760 being
01:00:14.000 vice
01:00:14.300 president
01:00:14.720 to
01:00:16.760 somebody
01:00:17.180 who
01:00:17.420 would
01:00:17.620 not
01:00:17.820 be
01:00:18.100 so
01:00:18.580 much
01:00:18.800 in
01:00:18.980 control
01:00:19.320 we
01:00:19.600 presume
01:00:20.020 it's
01:00:20.820 kind
01:00:21.060 of
01:00:21.160 a
01:00:21.280 weird
01:00:21.500 prediction
01:00:21.920 to
01:00:22.160 get
01:00:22.300 that
01:00:22.460 one
01:00:22.660 at
01:00:23.460 least
01:00:23.640 as
01:00:23.860 close
01:00:24.300 as
01:00:24.500 it
01:00:24.640 is
01:00:24.860 even
01:00:25.140 technically
01:00:25.780 wrong
01:00:26.180 so
01:00:27.300 if
01:00:27.500 you
01:00:27.640 watched
01:00:28.000 me
01:00:28.220 do
01:00:28.420 those
01:00:28.720 things
01:00:29.000 in
01:00:29.180 public
01:00:29.500 and
01:00:29.820 then
01:00:30.000 tell
01:00:30.240 you
01:00:30.440 ahead
01:00:30.760 of
01:00:30.900 time
01:00:31.080 I
01:00:31.220 was
01:00:31.360 doing
01:00:31.560 them
01:00:31.740 why
01:00:32.320 I
01:00:32.480 was
01:00:32.600 doing
01:00:32.840 them
01:00:33.060 what
01:00:33.540 the
01:00:33.720 thinking
01:00:33.980 is
01:00:34.260 what
01:00:34.440 the
01:00:34.580 filter
01:00:34.840 is
01:00:35.140 and
01:00:35.640 then
01:00:35.780 watching
01:00:36.100 it
01:00:36.260 materialize
01:00:37.040 if
01:00:37.660 you've
01:00:37.860 gone
01:00:38.020 through
01:00:38.200 that
01:00:38.420 cycle
01:00:38.800 enough
01:00:39.100 times
01:00:39.680 then
01:00:40.800 when
01:00:41.000 I
01:00:41.160 tell
01:00:41.380 you
01:00:41.640 that
01:00:50.020 you're
01:00:50.320 going
01:00:50.480 to
01:00:50.540 be
01:00:50.700 fine
01:00:51.100 and
01:00:51.540 that
01:00:51.680 you're
01:00:51.840 not
01:00:52.020 going
01:00:52.180 to
01:00:52.260 run
01:00:52.420 out
01:00:52.560 of
01:00:52.680 food
01:00:52.960 do
01:00:54.380 you
01:00:54.500 believe
01:00:54.700 me
01:00:54.960 well
01:00:56.100 it's
01:00:56.400 that
01:00:56.580 crowing
01:00:57.080 and
01:00:57.220 it's
01:00:57.440 the
01:00:57.600 bragging
01:00:58.040 that
01:00:59.100 keeps
01:00:59.860 the
01:01:00.040 pattern
01:01:00.320 in
01:01:00.500 your
01:01:00.620 head
01:01:00.800 that
01:01:00.940 says
01:01:01.120 oh
01:01:01.240 yeah
01:01:01.400 he
01:01:01.620 got
01:01:01.860 some
01:01:02.500 pretty
01:01:02.740 unlikely
01:01:03.120 things
01:01:03.580 right
01:01:03.920 and
01:01:04.660 the
01:01:04.800 things
01:01:05.020 that
01:01:05.120 were
01:01:05.220 easy
01:01:05.500 he
01:01:05.700 got
01:01:05.880 most
01:01:06.180 of
01:01:06.280 them
01:01:06.420 right
01:01:06.620 too
01:01:06.860 now
01:01:07.980 that
01:01:08.100 doesn't
01:01:08.280 mean
01:01:08.400 I'm
01:01:08.560 going
01:01:08.660 to
01:01:08.680 be
01:01:08.820 right
01:01:09.020 all
01:01:09.140 the
01:01:09.280 time
01:01:09.520 and
01:01:09.940 I
01:01:10.040 would
01:01:10.160 make
01:01:10.360 no
01:01:10.540 claim
01:01:10.900 to
01:01:11.100 being
01:01:11.300 magic
01:01:11.800 at
01:01:12.420 all
01:01:12.660 I
01:01:13.200 have
01:01:13.300 no
01:01:13.420 magic
01:01:13.740 powers
01:01:14.120 so
01:01:14.740 you
01:01:14.900 can
01:01:15.040 watch
01:01:15.420 and
01:01:15.620 you
01:01:15.720 can
01:01:15.860 judge
01:01:16.100 for
01:01:16.240 yourself
01:01:16.600 and
01:01:17.320 I
01:01:17.480 guarantee
01:01:17.920 that
01:01:18.520 every
01:01:18.760 time
01:01:19.020 I'm
01:01:19.220 right
01:01:19.500 about
01:01:19.800 anything
01:01:20.180 I'm
01:01:21.420 going
01:01:21.600 to
01:01:21.800 crow
01:01:22.040 about
01:01:22.320 it
01:01:22.460 because
01:01:22.620 it's
01:01:22.740 part
01:01:22.880 of
01:01:22.960 the
01:01:23.040 process
01:01:23.420 it's
01:01:23.720 important
01:01:24.060 it's

01:01:26.880 just
01:01:27.060 for
01:01:27.220 me
01:01:27.420 it

01:01:28.560 anything
01:01:28.860 to
01:01:29.480 do
01:01:30.520 that
01:01:30.780 all
01:01:31.360 right
01:01:31.540 I
01:01:33.200 got a
01:01:33.420 recommendation
01:01:33.740 for you
01:01:34.280 and it's
01:01:34.760 along
01:01:35.120 these
01:01:35.400 exact
01:01:35.900 same
01:01:36.360 lines
01:01:37.080 if
01:01:38.900 you
01:01:39.080 follow
01:01:39.460 me
01:01:39.960 and
01:01:40.960 you're

01:01:41.500 following
01:01:42.080 Mike
01:01:42.460 Cernovich
01:01:42.920 I
01:01:43.860 don't
01:01:44.060 know
01:01:44.240 why
01:01:44.640 because
01:01:45.760 certainly
01:01:46.320 there
01:01:46.560 might
01:01:46.780 have
01:01:46.880 been
01:01:46.980 a
01:01:47.120 time
01:01:47.340 when
01:01:47.560 you
01:01:47.680 said
01:01:47.900 oh
01:01:48.240 you
01:01:48.460 know
01:01:48.680 I'm
01:01:50.000 not
01:01:50.160 getting
01:01:50.420 enough
01:01:50.680 value
01:01:51.260 out of
01:01:51.680 that
01:01:52.000 or
01:01:52.320 his
01:01:53.000 personality
01:01:53.640 doesn't
01:01:54.440 fit
01:01:55.360 with me
01:01:55.840 so I
01:01:56.400 don't
01:01:56.540 like
01:01:56.700 to
01:01:56.880 see
01:01:57.020 him
01:01:57.200 and
01:01:57.380 he's
01:01:57.940 bragging
01:01:58.340 about
01:01:58.620 his
01:01:58.820 accomplishments
01:01:59.420 and
01:02:00.020 stuff
01:02:00.740 like
01:02:00.960 that
01:02:01.300 but
01:02:04.100 man
01:02:04.900 is
01:02:05.120 he
01:02:05.300 right
01:02:05.660 a
01:02:05.820 lot
01:02:06.080 including
01:02:07.220 the
01:02:08.360 earliest
01:02:08.960 warnings
01:02:09.640 on this
01:02:10.180 virus
01:02:10.960 he is
01:02:12.140 right
01:02:12.640 a lot
01:02:13.680 and
01:02:15.240 he has
01:02:16.260 deserved
01:02:16.980 you know
01:02:17.940 he has
01:02:18.180 earned
01:02:18.500 he has
01:02:19.640 earned
01:02:19.980 let's say
01:02:20.400 not
01:02:20.620 deserved
01:02:21.000 I don't
01:02:21.480 like that
01:02:21.800 word
01:02:22.000 but he
01:02:22.560 has
01:02:22.700 earned
01:02:23.120 people's
01:02:24.800 attention
01:02:25.140 so if
01:02:26.320 you're
01:02:26.480 not
01:02:26.660 watching
01:02:27.020 his
01:02:27.320 take
01:02:27.600 on
01:02:27.780 stuff
01:02:28.040 and
01:02:28.180 they're
01:02:28.300 really
01:02:28.500 different
01:02:28.920 and
01:02:29.420 they're
01:02:29.640 they tend
01:02:30.100 to be
01:02:30.380 way
01:02:30.660 early
01:02:31.060 and
01:02:31.880 way
01:02:32.160 more
01:02:32.420 insightful
01:02:32.860 than
01:02:33.160 other

01:02:35.600 hurting
