The up that grew up a good morning, everybody and welcome to once again. The highlights human civilization and possibly some aliens who came before we don't know. We don't know, today, I'm going to blow your mind even more than the mushroom trip without the mushrooms that I took you on the last time. Can I do it can I can I move my whiteboard, so it doesn't look like there's a weird point. Coming me in my head. Like yeah I'll bet, I did yesterday is a double whiteboard day. Lucky. Are you that's so lucky to two whiteboards, now if you're listening and that watching, I will describe them they're, not that complicated, but

no, you get excited when you see the double. Why board and you should, but if you want to take that exist, I ve been up to a new level and a here too for unknown level. All you need is a copper mugger, gossip tank or Chelsea style. Kimchi jerk of it's a guide filled with your favorite liquid. I like coffee, and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure. It's the Dover the other day, And it says the simultaneous seventy seven scrapping I'll go so. For the past two years or so. I started sing a weird pattern in my life and I'm see if anyone else has had. any similar pattern it goes like this

I wake up. In the morning I say to myself: oh, was supplied twist gonna, be today. And there is one every day: every day I wake up and there's a plot twist, I'm talking about I think so unusual that it looks like it came out of a reality. Tv show You now into reality tv show, there's always a plot twist. Oh somebody did something the thing that you didn't know about. Somebody talk to somebody somebody's mad about a thing, and it was every day here's to the point where I would go all day long. If you look to say it's at five in the evening. and I said myself no plot to us, but then it would come before I went to bed plug twist every time now. Is it possible?

That could happen so many times on his own, and I'm talking about I'm talking about things our as mine blowing, as learning out the learning that your Nan Droid, I mean. I talk about really basically mine, blowing stuff as it may. I add that experience. Where were you just get a plot to us every day? There's some something are limited to me or confirmation bias nope. Nobody answer So, oh ok, some people say yes, I actually getting some yes here more than I thought I, I don't know that means I think, but when I when Ask myself why we would be a simulated environment assuming we are because I think we are a simulation, not an original species.

Why would we exist? Why would anybody make us and the answer is to test stuff or for entertainment. I feel as though my life has become somebody else's entertainment, like it looks like I feel, like I'm in a reality tv show, but I'm not aware of it. That's what the plot twists look like. I'm, like I dunno these plot twists, look exactly like a writer introduce them into the plot. They don't look naturally occurring. So I feel like I'm in some kind of reality. Tv show. somebody's watching alright I'll get a little bit weirder now. Maybe there's a lot of self help. Advice and books have one thing in common, which is positive. Thinking

Renault to set the most famous original selfish l book of all time was called the power of positive thinking, which I read and was very influential in my diligent and president Tromp coincidentally went to church and the minister, I think it is, is the right name or pastor I forget what you call each leader of each church, but I think it was. The minister was actually the author of that book, the power positive thinking and Trump talks about it. You young, have having an impact on so but other books, including my own, have failed. Almost everything is still went back. have some element to that at their core, that you have to think right to get a good outcome

Now, my version, I talk about shelf space, your mental shelf space, and specifically I talk about you. Can't you can't stop thinking about something negative. You don't have the ability to turn off a thought people want to, but you can't that's another thing. What you can do is crowded out with other thoughts. Just be busy, keep your mind somewhere else, and then you just will. Except the time the shelf space so to speak, so there's just less room for the negative until you kill it by atrophy, so the the less you think about something, the less power it will have over overtime. So there are all these different. Feels of self help that all this core about thinking positively- and I found out just this week why that might actually work. Cuz haven't

is wondered why it works or does it work? I mean the first question is: does it work? I don't want I'm not trying to make you think past the sale doesn't work and if it does work, why does it work? Is it just? Do we imagine it works? Is it purely some form of placebo or you just you think it worked, but nothing happened. Well, here's the I just fell down whiteboard number one coming at good times. Here's why it work.

Turns out that if you are exposed to a positive feel good, just thought or experience that your dopamine will improve. So, for example, if you love Kittens- and I handed you a little kitten, probably your dopamine would work up a little bit and your dopamine has a bigger impact on you, your happiness right, but here's the part that I hadn't quite appreciated. I knew the dope

It feels good and those hearts be happy without it, and I knew that if he had the right kind of you know stimulation, you could produce more of it, but here's the part. I didn't know that dopamine has two primary purposes. If you want to think of it that way, one is a reward. The thing that makes you feel good, but the other as it's implicated in movement. You don't actually do anything until your dopamine is in the right state. If you don't permit is low, you end up with Parkinson's, so the reason they treat Parkinson's with L Dopa is to give you a little more dopamine boost to cure your randomness of motion. If you want to move in a particular direction or toward a particular thing. You need your don't mean to be in line, and so we we have a illogical science paste.

completely non controversial explanation of why positive thoughts might get you to the place. You want so imagine. If you will, that you spend your time? Thinking of a positive thing, that's going to happen to you like I do I'm going to have this promotion and run going to live in a big house. Have a nice. fall in love whatever it is, that is your thing. Do your thing does positive thoughts about the future and those shut, those things paid dopamine and then what kind of action do you think is going to happen? The only thing that we do are the things we imagine. We can do this at the things you imagine other things you do you never do something, except. I guess like accidentally, that you didn't imagine you know what you even driving to work in the morning as you sort of imagine it first and then you can do it. You got a match

So imagination does seem directly related to read, produces the chemical that creates the emotion towards the thing

It's actually just that simple. The things you think about the things you imagine are the only things that activate you and, if you think about positive things, it activates you in exactly the right way, and if you spend your time thinking about negative things, it would activate use a different way, and so maybe there's the simple. Maybe it's as simple now, here's the part where I blow your head off. I didn't even get to the good part. Yet what? If? What? If laziness is a habit of thinking about the cost of things or the effort, instead of thinking about the payoff, I'm gonna say it again to get a few more heads to explode. What? If, ladies,

This is nothing but a habit of thinking about the effort instead of thinking about the outcome. What if you could reverse laziness by simply developing a habit of thinking more about the let's say the delicious food that you would like to enjoy instead of how long it would take you to get up and go get it holy. Shit is right, holy shit is right. It might be that easy. So this is one of the reframes or the type of reframe that I'm going to include in the the book I'm working on, because I can't prove that this works, but do I have I mean it is seems so logically connected that it's hard to imagine. It doesn't work and be hard to come up with an argument that this chain of events doesn't reliably work. So

But the but the real question is: if you were to test this at home and try to see if you can think more about a good outcome and less about the work, would you get it? why is it that people have a second child? What is a woman who goes through? this awful awful childbirth have a second child. don't. They always said the same thing. If I remembered how bad this was, I wouldn't do it again right. So the the not thinking about the effort is vital to actually your viable of humanity. If we focused on how hard it was to have a baby ages, wouldn't do it for you. Do you do too little of it? But if you focus on how awesome it would be to have a family? Well, there you go. You can go through the pain because you ve already you ve already committed, So I have this experience was writing books, intellectual

I know that writing a book ruins almost a year and a half of my life. I mean it really really puts a a wet blanket on all your free time if you're writing book, and yet you have to think about it all the time. So it's it's really a big expense on top of your normal career. If you have a regular career as I do, it's as bad as all you do is write. So the way that I can write a book is, I have to forget about how hard it is and just think about how cool it is to have a buck if it does well- and I imagine you're doing well and people people talking about it- maybe I have a good difference, so I think about all these positive things and then I could write it so am I am, I am ambitious, or do I simply have a thinking habit which produces dopamine

cause I'm thinking about the positive outcome and as the dopamine the thing that gets me up and moving and when you're observing me, you say how the hell do you get so much done right, but the the single, probably the most common question, I'm asked in my entire career, is: how did you get all that done because you know you do I have I do things going just as things you say now, imagine the things you say multiplied by and you don't know anything about cuz, you see the cartooning, the 11th write a cartoon every day on average. I don't work on it everyday. Yeah. I do. This live stream every day, sometimes twice trying to write a book. You can imagine how much administrative effort there is just keeping the opera, can rubbing. Then, on top of that, a personal life trying to keep my my house, that's being remodeled the kitchen

The project- that's just a sample, was like, like you, you have no idea. If you could imagine how complicated my life is, you wouldn't even Billy cut right and how do I do it? I think it's just that. I think it's just that this. When I think of all the things I do, I think about them in terms of their benefits. I love doing this like right now, like that this moment I'm a those happy is all be all day to be. This is excellent. This is a great great experience, because I don't know, I'm not even sure exactly why I like it. I guess it's a variety of things that makes it makes a good time for me, but I didn't really think about the fact that I had to spend two hours prepare.

You know I was up at two hundred and thirty this morning. Couldn't sleep so I spend maybe two hours preparing for today. for once love about the two hours. I always thought that the others would be fun. I can't wait to turn it on and be doing this thing. So here's your tip. It's going to change some of your lives. Think about the positive not about the work and see what that does to you. Well in the news Boris Johnson visited Kiev and walked around the city, will safe with the zielinski now so the russian troops have they have pulled away from cave right there. That's a done deal, isn't didn't Ukraine wind. It wasn't that clearly, the eight the objective of Russia was to take Kiev.

put in a puppet mean, I feel as though, if you look at the primary goal, the Russia lost a minute and they've already admitted it now. I know you're saying the rush is clever. What they're going to do is consolidate things in the south and then they'll start moving toward the The capital of Guiana, nor those squeeze amount or they'll blackmail them or something, maybe maybe, but it kind of, looks like they lost, and I know it, so they're are consolidating their forces and the region that dumbass and whatever- the regions where they got victories and they seem to have control, but here's the thing that I don't quite get Husband, we figured out how he could occupy Ukraine in the long run.

Oh see how you could do it, and this is what I mean in this specific case. Isn't it just a number of drones? Let's go to the the whiteboard, or are you ready for this? I know one Ward is a lot to absorb, but to wow I dunno. I think you could do it second concept of the day, persuading Putin, what will it take to persuade Putin first answer? Nothing, nothing would persuade Putin. Putin cannot be persuaded, he is crazy, Hitler he has made up his mind. Maybe good Chancellor left I would, however, submit to you

There is literally one piece of data and you don't even have to be accurate. That would persuade Putin that he already lost and that he needs to figure out how manage the defeat right now he's still managing the war? The best persuasion would get him to manage the withdrawal or or manage what the defeat looks like. So here's the one piece of data that would persuade button to stop now stop focusing on the fight, because Putin might win the fight.

Am I right if I sent to you who's going to win you know in that area, if you craving and maybe even the rest of Ukraine, if I said who's going to win militarily, what would all of you say? It depends how determined he is. If he's decided to take, it is going to take it and it looks like he has. It looks like he's decided to take it. It looks like he will, but then what but then what Yes, the hold it right. The whole point is to occupy it there. He also took you know all that area around the capitol, but he didn't hold it. So it was a part italian. So here's the thing that I think the news needs to report, or maybe not maybe not I'll, tell you why

is how many of these portable drones, the the switchblade type, can be delivered to Ukraine and in what time- cuz there's a theoretical number of them which we could reach and I'm just I just threw in a month here. This is a random month, maybe by the summer Maybe, by the end of the year It created how long how many of these could they get, though the switchblade drones? Let me let me give you a demonstration that is so amazing. I think you'll be impressed. You will watch this if you're, watching an on or if you're listening on audio This will be an press of an all but watch how well I do this, so you ve got this little backpack. Didn't you back back it you take out when it is which played drones, and I think that fires out of a tube- and it comes out like a like a missile-

but in the air once as it's launched, its wings go like a switchblade like this, so that it becomes a little a plane. I think, as two wings and then you can fly several kilometers. So you can these things for far away the military person who fires it then has a little monitor, I saw a picture of it. Looks like it looks like you can cover from outside distractions. Like light, and just possess head and then you can see the drum than the drone can. Fly for many miles, looking at the terrain, and then it gets to a place where they can do. Hang around, for, I think, ten minutes or something how many minutes somebody tell me, but you can hang around for a long time just looking down. The soldier who's in the remote places is watching it and then it can just

I got a target and just destroyed now somebody says fifteen minutes. It can hover. Now here's my question: how do you defend against that now? Quick answer is the way defenders with electronic means right. You jam them. Has the German worked so far. Have you your day story that says you know all these drones are working at all causes those russian jammers or just jamming jam up now, now in fact you're not hearing at all, so Either Russia doesn't have good generals or the workaround for the generous is simple enough: there's not slowing down. I imagine, That the jamming equipment itself is fairly identifiable, isn't it couldn't can you see the jamming equipment or at least know where it is or locate it. I mean there's, probably anti jamming munitions of some kind.

But they also have to turn it off now and then did you know that just turn it off and the they have to turn it off as they often at the launch, their own drones. So the UK, these would wait until the russian military launched their own drones, which required turning off their own anti drone jamming equipment, and then they attack So that's just a sample of the the military back and forth of you know adjusting to each other. Ex. But as far as I can tell the doesn't see

to be any permanent way to stop these switchblade attacks, and so since they can be launched, but from a distance it takes one person to carry them and one person to launch them. Isn't the only thing that we wonder about is how many there are and how quickly we can get them. I think even training is not a huge deal. I think he would probably watch a Youtube video on how to use them they're built to be used in the field, not by a not bad engineer or scientist. Now, of course, I need. I need a fact check on that, but my belief is is probably not a lot harder than I being a commercial drone that you would buy online and in budget neighbor I'll bet it's not that much harder because they wouldn't have designed it to be that hard they'd have to design it to be simple.

many defences against jamming guess what one of their defences against jamming is to have. Your signal vary in real time. So if your signal is varying in real time, the jamming doesn't it may not be widespread enough to to hit the right frequency, so you guys you're, jabbing, your anti jamming, etc. Alright, so my question is this: if we wanted to persuade Putin? Could we persuade That he will lose. The military battle answer is probably not probably not does he just has to decide how much pain he wants to take and he probably can take as much as he needs. Together them, so instead persuaded the occupation is impossible, not improbable enough hard, actually impossible impossible.

Right. So you can't say it's going to be really really hard. I guess you nothing because he's already committed to really really hard as to be impossible, and I do think that he could be convinced that at some number of switchblades, switchblade, drones or and and the like have similar similar equipment that a sub level, you can't hold 'em here's a question for you: where would the occupying troops? How would they sleep? Would they have to sleep? One person? You know in a mile away another person when they'd be in a barracks. I mean the right to be underground. Other is the occupying force could be underground here. I don't think you can hide all of the military stuff. I believe that

once a night. A military barracks would blow up under occupation, probably once a night. How do you keep your military motivated to keep the occupation up if one of their barracks blows up every night, And that's just the barracks! Imagine how many other things like a blow up, so I don't think there's any way to hold or tour to occupy a country military there two ways it is: Putin had taken Keith Keys instantly and it in in a by the work. Do you think It is Putin's original plan, as we imagined it was we don't know if his original plan was just a quickly put in a puppet, I think that's worked before.

Because the public says: oh, you know the last one was corrupt too, doesn't make that much difference. I'd rather just go to work today. You know one public is replaced by another puppet work might have worked, or at least for a while, but that it happened so now that it's a destroy the country down to rubble. I think that you raise a little bit angry and motivated to do whatever it takes just change the situation and as they have unlimited drones, or at least have an unlimited stream of them coming in. How could anybody occupy the country? I don't think it could be done, because you have enough people to use the drones and enough drones. So How do you persuade Putin? The question is, if we're here, hypothetically, meaning that not enough drones have been delivered to Ukraine to stop an occupation just just enough to maybe give them a little

pause, but how long would it take us and could we is it even possible today. till the number where even Putin would say. Ok, that's impossible. Now that's actually impossible. There's no there's no way to occupy this country. Do you think Putin knows how many of drones are being shipped and do you think he knows where the crossover point is he does not. He does not know how many were shipping, how many we can ship and he doesn't know what the crossover point is. That's. Why. We should make one up. Just our say, there is one because Whoever goes first defines the talking point. None of us have any idea in our mind how many switchblades it would take to make Ukraine impossible doc you by let's create that number. Is it

imagine seeing headlines started Mouth says: ten thousand ten thousands which plays make Ukraine on occupying they have four thousand already by summer, they'll have fifteen thousand; it only takes ten thousand to be unoccupied. Able now is that true, Does it matter might not matter because we're talking about persuasion, we're not talking about truth, and if you can convince Putin in Putin's mind that that number ten thousand actually makes a difference, it would have to come from some kind of military source. Some kind of logic to it. You'd need somebody who is a military. I dunno

at the gist or something some West Point person to say it. So you get somebody to say it, and then you get the media to repeat it right now that shouldn't be hard, because it's pretty clear that the corporate media is working for you ve heard tell US agencies such as the intelligence agencies say here now. Wouldn't it be nice if you guys. talking about the country being unoccupied well and that the reason is drones. There is a certain number that will make them on the buyable Putin doesn't know what that number is, but wink wink we're getting there really fast wink wink? We think it's about ten thousand that experts said ten thousand, we got four thousand now we're going to have fifteen thousand by August. Doesn't matter if any of it's true? Doesn't it only matters? If Putin can't tell the difference? That's all that matters

So this is a persuading Putin you should take this as a lesson in persuasion, not a prediction. I don't I don't the surly anything like that will happen all right? What would happen? so I think a lot of people were surprised to see the Russians retreat from the capital of Ukraine. The one person I know who is now surprised was me. I believe that one person who said no by the way totally wrong on the prediction that Putin wouldn't invade and the reason was it would be suicide, and I thought he could tell apparently I could tell it was suicide and he could now that I did not see coming so fruit. That's on me.

being smart. Is that Putin was not something I foresaw in any of this, but I was apparel or better informed or something I mean. I got it right and you got it wrong. That's all. I know you're. So but I got it wrong that you wouldn't invade, because I thought it was more rational is smart as I, but what would happen so you might have been surprised, but I wasn't that Eden quickly take over Ukraine and I said the reason would be the barn, modern weapons that they would have and that the modern weaponry would be surprisingly effective and sure enough. It is so my exact prediction lease on that point was right. Here's of export. What would happen hope is ethically if it looked like Ukraine was starting to block the retreat

routes for the russian army. Just just imagine suppose it looked like their military strategy had changed to preventing Russia from leaving with their military. Because that would say they're going to starve them and kill them and that they think they can get it done, I'm they can I'm saying what would that duty of mentally if you. the year retreat was being destroyed. When they have limited weaponry and Ukraine, and they be attacking things like you know, tanks and weapons depots, but what if they destroyed the retreat. Cuz, I would also did you destroy the presumably do you supply routes destroy the supply routes would destroy the retreat women, as there were just literally no way to get in and get out.

So he says it's a bad strategy makes the other side fight harder. No, it makes it- their side starve to death. They my fight harder, but they ve got a week to do. It does ran a food and we so fired by you got awake, could could they do everything they need to do in a week or so. I just wonder about this as a persuasion played less than the military play, which becomes military of course, but wouldn't that get into the Russians heads if you acted like you were going to trap them and starve them and you look like you might actually pull it off. We'll get my head like a video on the internet, Carl Icahn, the famous corporate raider, who raider biased companies and fires lot of people and turns them around then sells them. Seldom does stuff like that.

He was talking about this one company boy years ago, thirty years ago ago, so in which, after you bought it, he was trying to figure out what all the people did and there were. There were twelve floors of employees there and when he tried to go in and figure out. Okay, what all you do when they explained it to him, he still didn't what they did and they hired consultants come in and figure it out for him. And he paid them a quarter million dollars and they came back and this- and they said you know, be an honest. We have no idea what they do so he fired all twelve floors with with no no precision, they just fired all twelve floors, and he said that Years had passed and nobody complained play the other words he expected somebody's say. Ok, we can deliver their product. We can't do this thing because you fired the department in charge and nobody. Nobody ever complained everything just one fine operates smoothly. Now that's

not the real story? The real story is that you learn musk interacted with that video in a positive way, and I think he said just one word exactly. and this is right after he bought twitter, may be wondering what all those people at twitter do for a living. Now, that's not the only thing he's doing

here are some of the things he's done just the last like twenty four hours he he tweeted. Should we delete the w in Twitter, which of course would turn it into a naughty word. Titter now ls, let's that, let's contrast this with what I just talked about Carl Icahn, Tesla famously has no marketing department, because Elon Musk can do the entire marketing job just by making interesting products. And tweeting he doesn't even need market and so you'll on buys nine percent of twitter. He tweets should we delete the w in Twitter and he did more work than the entire marketing department of Twitter, where the one two three four five words: five words the whole

job, the marking and Barbara Twitter? So I guess as one floor he can get rid of. He also tweeted. this is all in twenty. Four hours is just mind: boggling. Yes, why the time Twitter users, in terms of number of followers, no longer tweet. He says, Is twitter dying and he pays to like he points to like Taylor, Swift and Justin Bieber and stuff, and I guess they haven't tweeted in months. I didn't know that at is there such as twitter dying, it's his own investment, it's his own investment, yes, it is dying. Who does that somebody who doesn't have a marketing deferment? That's too, because if you don't marketing department. I don't know a better way to get attention than to ask if your. If your product is dying, do you remember he did, things, similar with Tesla Stock, do you remember when he says that he thought was Tesla stock was too high, so it was few years ago who does that

who says a rose stalk us to hire. They believe in drove it down to somebody to just give you a fact check of that. I think he drove his own price to stop. Pricetown did you not that actually happened then that now one of the things that that did so this thing about Twitter is twitter dying. Is it builds credibility which is aside from money aside for being super smart? His credibility is big asset that is hard to match, he's neither republican nor democratic. You don't north alleys, you just once things to work. And, and so when he questions his own product, that the invested in questions his own stock price, it's impossible not to give him more credibility, isn't it it's impossible, not to say, okay, that's credible because of it because of Europe.

if you're criticizing your own product and going to the moon. Ok, we're to listen to that. That sounds pretty chrome, so he's got that going for him. and he also asked, as should the twitter Blue apparently twitter has a service called twitter blue. They can pay three dollars a month and I guess you could you have limited ability to edit your own tweets and you don't see advertisements or something I don't know what else is about. But I didn't even know. Twitter blue was a thing, awareness of the body to know what its features were, but now I do today. Yesterday I didn't know the twitter. Had this new feature, which I actually would consider paying for I have something I want and again

Twitter's entire marketing department? Didn't penetrate me with that information, but Elon Musk just did And then what he asked is: should all the twitter, blue users get a blue check and the answer is of course not, of course not. That would defeat the entire purpose of the blue check. What is a perfect question if you want to get rid of the marketing department? It's just a great question because it just makes you think about it's. Not it's not like he's, Youtube some specific s. So now, twitter, blue user should not get a blue jack because, as now at the blue check is used for, but now. We all know there's this feature, but. It would give you an aisle. Let's say to his point: if you gave everybody a blue check who paid for it, it would cut to democratize the influencers right, because right now, if you have a blue check like I do you get more attention, is that fair,

Should should I get more attention because people try to impersonate me on online which, by the way, has been a big problem? I don't maybe, but it gives me too Jennifer Lawrence for the wrong reasons. If the reason I get a blue check is so there's somebody doesn't imitate me, that's good! but if then, that bluechip gives me more influence than my opinions or voice deserve? Well those bad- and I think maybe you learn- might have noticed that who knows. What do you want also mentioned again in the last twenty four hours that if you get twitter Blue, you wouldn't get ads and maybe twitter should be a service that doesn't serve up the surf up corporate

fluids? So if you have a subscription service you're, not as influenced by keeping the the sponsors happy, that's a good point. I guess to freedom of speech and bias and censorship and everything if you just make a subscription. But when enough people buy a subscription to Twitter and if you're not willing to pay three dollars a month for twitter, should you be tweeting? Should you three dollars a month, if you're not willing to spend three dollars a month? How important do you think your opinion is that other people should hear it now?

we're obviously network interruptions and one of the platforms I dunno. What that's about? I don't I don't see a problem on my end by my wifi is screamingly good today, alright, so watching watching Elon musk dissemble accompany in real time, right in front of. You is probably the most interesting thing. A business model, nerd could ever say, and that's what I have. I am really nerding out on business models like it. How do you make a business all the parts work just right? So I'm just sort of that student of business models. And watching him he's effectively dismantling twitter psychologically. First,

right, he's already redesigned a new twitter. In your mind, he's engineer the damn thing in your mind, you know, doesn't have corporate influences. The blue checks are handled differently. You can that it may be and so he does are the first in your mind, then he can sort of ab tested based on people's influence and then probably can get it done in reality. If people were it, and I love watching him do things that only he can do that? That's really special! When I watch basketball on tv, I don't really, and I want to see what Stephen Curry does or Lebron James, because they're just not like other people, it's like watching a superhuman. Do something and watching you on, do what only you like to do. Cuz he's only one rich enough in It's all knows how to manage the cycle.

Google elements of it cares, It's about the abuse. The only one does is anybody else who could do what he's doing right now with twitter- and it is super important- is like he's rewriting the source code, maybe the operating system of America, because we went from you, okay, free speech and it's a newspapers and illness, but once power got consolidated into the social platforms with twitter, I think, is the important one. because twitter is the one that influences journalists, and then journalists influence everybody else which wire is like the leverage so of course he'll on fight as the most important lever twitter, way to have the most leverage on it without buying the whole company nine percent. And now he's digging in and he's going to reengineer the thing. Clearly I don't think there's any doubt he is actually going to re engineer the product.

And he might actually sex the biggest problem in the country, which is we can't trust anything. We see our rate think about that. He might actually fix that and I'll say it again, there's nobody else who could have done it? The ultimate patriot, if I say that the ultimate patriot is the one who does it, because nobody else can do it now that might be including just going to war right now, pick me up your rifle me and these lots of people to say. Well, if I don't pick up my rifle, you know I can't depend on everybody else to do it for me, so that the fact that you just jumped into the biggest problem in the country at least the lever that controls the biggest set of problems. And that he might actually get control of this thing and is whether you watch it while it happens, this is thrilling stuff. This is just thrilling. You get to watch as he does it right in front of you. This could not be cooler for nerd. Like me,

Hi white: here's the thing I used to here as a kid heard the saying only God can make a tree only God can make a tree. I don't why, but you see her that all the time when I was kid but today, Mark Zuckerberg is creating better aver To all world in which which broke is going to make about a trillion trees, so it turns out that Mark Zuckerberg can make a tree now. You said yourself, Does that a tree ass like a picture of a tree as a digital tree no is going to be confused about a digital tree. Forces are real tree, so take your stupid analogy and shove it up your stuff,

whatever hole and get out of my face with your dumb thoughts. That's what you say: that's what you say to me and I deserve every bit of it but here's my counter. If we're a simulation, that is almost certain that we've been programmed not to notice that our simulation is simulated. That would be sort of basic to the program that the people in it are programmed not to notice. Code dough ever notice that you're simulated does. It will make all think network so. let me give you a little preview. Was the cup Scylla. Save matter becomes a big hit. I think it will. You have an avatar, there will be some representation of you might be an animal or something, but it will be the one you it's. The avatar will be doing stuff in better whenever you,

unlike, but only when you're on line right? So if you're, not on line here of character, probably won't want exist, but it seems inevitable there, with artificial intelligence improvements in the artificial environment. You want an option where your character does some things. Why you're gone, for example, my gotta work? There might be I'll be there, you might have to send your avatar to work when you're doing something else. Maybe Gravatar will mow the lawn go to bed who knows but over time the the amount The things that your avatar can do when you're not there should increase just because everything gets better and more developed to a higher level and more features

So what happens when most of what your avatar does is when you're not there at a little bit of it's when you're there and then and then you die? What happens then? You can have this avatar that could actually live autonomously forever, because if, if your facebook meta doesn't find out you died. Does your avatar just keep on going like an afterlife and Couldn't your relatives visit you in the the ai version of you and the afterlife? Could they not enter the simulation through those? You know for blue goggles whatever and go visit their deceased relative who lives on in artificial form. Now, for both of you that artificial form wouldn't be a good representation of you? It be

You know you know, ITALY must hurt the surface anyways, it would be sort of like it. But what about somebody like me, where my entire of mines is basically been sprayed into the universe in ways that are easy to collect these videos? I mean if you collected all the money ice. Creams. You'd have a pretty good idea. What my opinion is going to be on the next thing, because you know how I think you know I approach things so and eh. I could create me put it in an avatar and make it live forever in the meta in the metaverse. You know that's

happen and that little version of IE suppose just suppose that has some future version of technology. Suppose it optionally learns or is programmed to not notice that it lives in a simulation. Oh, you can do that. You can make your software always not notice. It lives in the simulation. Whenever there is a glitch, it just doesn't recorded, So am I reborn because it can have my personality we based on me, and just as I sitting in this or don't have probably

the cells of my body. In common with the baby I used to be all my cells are different. It's all different cells, I mean same same dna pattern, but I think all the parts are different but outright they've all worn out and been replaced. So this would just be a new replacement part. It would just be a digital replacement for a physical entity and it would live forever and it would just have a life. It might learn things that would have been interesting to be life. Well, that's was coming so I do believe that Mark Zuckerberg, after becoming the founder of Facebook said to himself. Why do I. Top that, like the only job, that's better than being the founder of Facebook would be what God and then he became God of his own simulation. None of this emulation is nugget. He's not God have you been.

It's going to be the God of Metal, and that means that what you can and cannot do in his simulated universe will be decided by him. What's that sound, like God, and it's not even like a dictator, if it were a dictator, you could still do the things you're not supposed to do, but you know you will be punished in Meta, the God or whoever controls the the program and can just say these things can't happen just completely. Stop you from doing things or give you powers or heal people or anything it's within the meta. So yes, Zuckerberg is becoming God of his own simulation. The individuals in it will still have something like free will or the impression of free will, but he will

what they can or cannot do, like God, he actually found away. He created Facebook and still sound away to get promoted if you're not impressed by more exact. Above now I mean I was impressed when he started Facebook. It was about ten times more impressed when it turned out. He was a great ceo of a mature company. Didn't see that coming I mean that's really rare, isn't it you can say bill gates, did it, but it's rare, and and now he's promoted himself to God of of a simulated reality, not bad about Mark well, the China lockdowns or bad, and I was tweets read by Naomi WU. She says

way bad in Shanghai. China has a long and ugly history of famine, displacement and civil unrest. social contract we have is basically no for that and a steady in the study, improving the quality of life and we won't quibble too much so I'll say that words so she's saying that, with her knowledge of the the local culture, she says that There's a social contract in basically an understanding that this Sevilla, It won't rebelled against the government, even though the government does a lot of things. I don't like. I can limit their freedom in the number waze gonna fight it so long as the government keeps them FED and sort of moving forward and they have, since the government has kept them FED and has kept them moving forward and hasn't done, forced displacements except the

The wiggers, I guess then Naomi's view- is that that's all it takes so as long as they keep those basic social contract, things in place, you're not going to say anything like a revolution. It's just not going happen but here's where she warns there's trouble the lockdowns are a risk of of starvation and the the Chinese feel that that trigger gets pulled in in their minds now. This would be It'll be WU's point of view. I I'm not the expert here, but in your point of view, if Fairbairn kicks in is a whole new game, because that that means the social contract has been violated. What's that like? it could, could things just turn on a dime? Is it? Is it that sensitive,

a violation of the social contract, specifically famine, you know within the lockdown areas. If the government can't get them food- and you know get it to him without anybody dying of famine, they better do it goes. Probably the whole system depends on now. According to name, we lose reading of of her own culture The is reporting that, U S until officials think Putin my use Ukraine as a pretext to it, if you're in our next election, Russia collusion to airway is, do we ever have new news, or is it just the same news all over again? Yes, Of course, there will be reports of russian interference to help who whereas the republic a candidate, and do we believe that

a story that the? U S, officials, think that I don't believe any of it? I don't believe any of it Interestingly, CNN has a opinion piece on their site by Essie CUPS. I think she used to be republican. Can somebody give Gimme a check on that, but she's been sort of anti trump for a long time and a staple on CNN She wrote that Obama was is wrong about Russia being the JV team team. He was. He was wrong to mock Romney when Romney in the debate against said that Russia was our biggest strategic partner and a bar mocked him, because he said it was and now Romney's right. It looks like so the content of the story isn't so interesting as the fact that is on CNN's website, so

in an has a major critical story about Obama on their website. What do you think of that Does this does it feel like something is changing over there, because they've changed management right, and I believe that their new management said something about reporting real news for a change? Am I right about that now? This is a news and opinion. But I don't know that I would have seen this opinion before or or do you think that they're just trying to get Romney to be the candidate? Oh, is that what they're doing do you think they're just trying to support Romney to mess with the Republicans, because this part of the criticizing Obama was to say Romney was but still I can see. I just guess

CNN, throwing about Obama under the bus even for some clever plan, like that, I don't see it that that's too clever. I think I don't see it alright. That, ladies and gentlemen, is a conclusion of my prepared remarks. I think I've cured many of you have your laziness. I have rewritten your operating code, taught you the secret of the how to succeed. It's all about the imagining the good outcomes and the dopamine and I've. Given you a single data point that can convince Putin to stop the war in Ukraine and we could even make up the number

we don't even have to have a real number. We just have to have the news talk about it and so now that I've cured most of your personal problems as well as the war in Ukraine. I think I've done enough for now, but because I like extra, I'm going to keep working today and make some comics and maybe work on my book a little bit we'll see what goes we'll see what happens, but I think you can all agree. This live stream was a highlight of civilization, probably hundred thousand years as the humans in our form and

nothing better than this. So far, this was about about the best, and I think you agree now join me for a little bit of a boost in your dopamine. Think about something. Awesome is going to happen today or something awesome it'll happen next few years, even better, because you keep that one for a few years. Just so, you have something awesome watch how much better your day is, and that is the end of my program. I'll see you tomorrow, U2,
