I mean, I wouldn't call it a scientific survey 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.600 of a thousand randomly selected America Americans with a pleasure 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:53.559 minus two. No, but it's as overwhelmingly Oh good lord, 0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.000 just when I was trying to defend his choices as 0:01:57.080 --> 0:02:00.360 out of the mainstream, but really, oh no. 0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:07.000 Doctor oss quack. I was surprised. 0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:11.280 So I watched my evening newscasts this morning, last nine 0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.679 evening newscast, I thought the lead story everywhere would be 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:21.000 on the one thousandth day of the war in Ukraine. 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:24.480 Ukraine uses those attack of missiles to fire into Russia 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.040 at the you know go ahead from Joe Biden. 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.600 I thought that was the lead story of the day, 0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.480 and it was. I watched the news for a long time. 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:33.799 I didn't even get to the story. 0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.560 Well, and the you know, the b part of that 0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:40.200 ab is flat putin making vague but unmistakable threats that hey, 0:02:40.240 --> 0:02:43.760 and as might provoker nuclear dear. 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.519 No, it was more, it was more concrete than that. 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:51.359 They they changed their official nuclear whatever you call protocol 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:53.680 that all the big countries with nuclear weapons are supposed 0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.679 to have. We're all supposed to have it written down 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:59.280 in what ways we would use nuclear weapons under work circumstances, 0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.080 and it's supposed to be open for everybody to see. 0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:04.640 It's part of the whole not having mistakes, et cetera 0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:06.880 thing that they came up with the way back in 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:11.200 the day. But they changed their protocol around the attack 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:15.480 ems to make it much easier for Russia to use 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:15.960 nuclear up. 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.880 I thought that was by far the lead story, and 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:20.880 it barely made the news at all. 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.959 So and David SANGERU was writing about it in The 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:27.480 New York Times last night about how it just landed 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.560 with a whimper. He said, if one thing has come 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.800 out of the war with Ukraine, it is the world 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.920 does not really react to nuclear threats anymore, for better 0:03:37.080 --> 0:03:39.440 or worse. And he said for better, where it's like, 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.560 maybe it's good, maybe you can't jerk everybody around by 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.920 threaten nuclear war all the time. On the other hand, 0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:47.760 maybe if somebody with the biggest nuclear arsenal in the 0:03:47.800 --> 0:03:49.360 world threatens to use it, you ought to at least 0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:54.200 pay attention. I don't know. I guess it has a 0:03:54.320 --> 0:03:57.080 bit of the feel to me, and I'm just kind 0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.920 of guessing at people's sentiment. I'm not necessarily speaking for 0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:03.600 myself strictly, but it has the feel of that coworker 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.840 years just says I can't take another day of this, 0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:08.600 and is this place is. But then he shows up 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.880 day after day, year after year. It's yet another you know, 0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:17.440 dictator making threats about you know, he provoked me, I'll 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:22.640 send a new clear away and then hearing it for generation. Well, 0:04:22.680 --> 0:04:25.440 clearly that's the way the world reacted, including the United States. 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.440 The United States official reaction was we will not be 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.080 changing our nuclear protocol. In other words, we don't take 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.320 it seriously. And then today you wake up too, and 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.960 I'm surprised this isn't a bigger story. It's a bigger 0:04:37.040 --> 0:04:40.320 story on social media among the Republicans who think Biden's 0:04:40.360 --> 0:04:43.040 trying to get us into World War three before Trump 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.240 takes office. People are making a really big deal out 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.520 of that. I like on Twitter and other places that 0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:51.520 I go. Biden approves anti personnel land mines for Ukraine, 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:55.320 reversing his policy of the entire war of absolutely not 0:04:55.560 --> 0:05:00.520 on land mines, drawing criticism from arms control groups and others. 0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.880 But so now Ukraine's gonna be able to put in 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:05.400 those land mines to try to keep the Russians from 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:10.320 coming in. So, oh boy, that is quite a bit 0:05:10.440 --> 0:05:13.480 more aggressive stance in the last forty eight hours from 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.520 Joe Biden for whatever reason, Well, breaking news. I'm sorry 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.800 that is just handed to me. Trump's new Secretary of 0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:27.599 Agriculture carrot Top, probably because of the name. I'm guessing. 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.640 All right, entertainment entertainer carrot Top. 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.440 That's decent. Colbert's joke was the guy who's gonna the 0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.159 person that's gonna lead Amtrak is Thomas the tank engine 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.440 with the whole it's just people he sees on TV. 0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:49.360 But is it is that it? Or is it he 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:54.040 understands that much of the electric is not as paying 0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:56.960 his close attention as the media would like us to think, 0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:58.680 and he picks people. 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:00.920 That are on TV to make a lot of voters happen. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:05.719 They've changed the title to the Secretary of the Interiors 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:10.120 and he's appointed Martha Start, which taking your expertise in 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:13.159 interior decorator. Is it because Trump sees these people on TV? 0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.360 Or he thinks a lot of voters see these people 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.640 on TV and think, oh, good choice. There's somebody I've 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:19.640 heard of. I've seen them on Fox and Friends or 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.080 seen them on Midday TV with Oprah. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.440 I think I don't know. 0:06:26.279 --> 0:06:29.760 It's something like that. It's also people he knows, and 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.640 people who've made it completely clear to him. And I 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.840 get this. I am not a Beltway insider who is 0:06:37.920 --> 0:06:40.279 going to smile to your face and oppose your agenda 0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.920 at every single turn. If you say we're going to 0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:46.120 wind down the Department of Education, I'm gonna do every 0:06:46.160 --> 0:06:48.720 damn thing I can to make it happen. I get 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:52.159 that well. And while I follow the news fairly closely 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.920 for a living, I'm not super into all these names 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.000 that aren't TV stars and like guys listening to a 0:06:58.080 --> 0:07:01.720 podcast here today talking about what a great financial team 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.080 or some scene that Trump was put in place, and 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:06.000 they rattled off a bunch of names I'd never heard 0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:09.160 in my life, and so I didn't mean anything to me. 0:07:09.480 --> 0:07:11.040 So if you want to just get like an average 0:07:11.120 --> 0:07:15.200 dufus like me, somebody who's I've seen on TV, I'm 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:18.400 gonna have an opinion about somebody I don't sell yourself, 0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:22.120 shorter and above average dupist, somebody that's been in the 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.760 policy world in DC for decades but I've never heard 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:27.560 of it makes just means nothing to me, even though 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:28.560 they might be a great pick. 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:29.440 So I don't know. 0:07:30.080 --> 0:07:33.400 Maybe that's what he's doing, although I think he's misreading 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.880 the way a lot of America sees doctor Oz. Yeah, 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.760 I've got to admit there's well I don't I think 0:07:40.760 --> 0:07:43.880 a lot of people feel the same way. There's definitely 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.880 a feeling of this thing has like loose staring and 0:07:47.960 --> 0:07:50.960 no breaks, and I just really feel like we're going 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.520 to hit a tree. On the other hands, you know what, 0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:57.480 Oz is a smart guy. He's going to execute Trump's vision. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.360 What the hell, let's see what happens.

I think he's a quack and a con man. 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:07.880 He's absolutely that. 0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:11.679 Yeah, I mean that's to be on dispute. 0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.120 Really put the duck back.

Well, no, no, 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.719 just that's my mind works, and that I remembered a long. 0:12:13.640 --> 0:12:20.599 And fascinating discussion of epistemology, just and just and just 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:23.080 how we know what we know, in the nature of knowing, 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:24.839 in the nature of learning, and blah blah blah, and 0:12:24.840 --> 0:12:28.400 Aristotle had some odd views of how the universe actually worked, 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.079 but certainly he understood mankind. This is this is a 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:34.079 great quote, and this is a continuing our series about 0:12:34.160 --> 0:12:38.000 the law, law and justice at his best. Man is 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:42.840 the noblest of all animals. Separated from law and justice, 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:48.920 he is the worst. I would agree, with the very 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.640 rare exception of a couple of your more advanced primates 0:12:51.720 --> 0:12:52.480 like chimpanzees. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.280 There's no maliciousness in the animal kingdom. 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:59.000 It's all fairly easily attributable to well, yeah, he's trying 0:12:59.040 --> 0:13:01.520 to protect his dominant over the herd or the troop 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:04.400 or whatever, and that he's in his territory. 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:06.679 That's why he's being vicious to him. There's not like 0:13:06.880 --> 0:13:07.360 I don't like. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:09.480 You and I want to hurt you much. 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:10.960 In the animal kingdom. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:13.839 That's why we need law. That the natural state of 0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.360 things is chaos and ugliness. I've got a library in 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:19.360 order as a miracle. I got a lot on that 0:13:19.400 --> 0:13:20.959 I've been meaning to talk about. I'm making my way 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.000 through the book Sapiens, which i'd never read the whole 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.959 thing before. Fascinating stuff about why Homo sapiens emerged from 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.560 all the other humans and dominated though maybe we'll talk 0:13:29.600 --> 0:13:32.760 about that later. I found it interesting. Yeah, I've got 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:34.679 to endless patience for that sort of thing. 0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:34.960 I mean. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:37.160 Or we could just jabber about the news headlines of 0:13:37.600 --> 0:13:43.400 the day that'll be forgotten tomorrow, mailbag, drop us a note, 0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.040 mail bag and Armstrong and getty dot com. Some of them, 0:13:46.080 --> 0:13:46.800 obviously will not. 0:13:46.920 --> 0:13:49.120 I hope you're right, they will have an enormous impact. 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:53.000 I hope your grandchildren aren't studying how the Ukraine War 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.880 turned into World War three. No, that's one of the 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:58.679 second group. Yeah, that's the kind that won't be forgotten. 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.160 Here's an idea going forward, writes Christy, Let's require presidential 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:06.720 candidates to also divulge their proposed selections for major cabinet 0:14:06.800 --> 0:14:11.240 roles oive insert the quack and duck sound for doctor Odz. 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.400 Yeah I know. And then her hashtag is hashtag job 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:20.760 security for y'all. Yeah, what'll you do? Oh? 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:22.320 I love this from Sean. What about this? 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.520 Trump puts gates in, lets him do all the crazy 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:25.880 stuff and soak up the heat. 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:27.480 Everyone hates him already. 0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:32.160 He's like the WWF heel, the villain you love to 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:36.640 hate in the wrastling. Yeah, most of the reporting is 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.480 that that's not what Trump's doing. He wants Gates to 0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:44.640 be the attorney general, and well, yeah, that's absolutely yeah, 0:14:44.720 --> 0:14:48.160 that's what he means as attorney general. So Trump says, hey, 0:14:48.240 --> 0:14:51.920 he's an independent. He's an independent age, just like Garland was. 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.040 I have to stay out of it all. Finally, when 0:14:54.080 --> 0:14:57.280 the DC lamp posts are proverbiably all hung with bodies, 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.960 Trump saves the nation and fires crazy Mat for going 0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.200 too far, and inevitably hires a hot check for ag. 0:15:06.880 --> 0:15:09.120 Let's see side show, Bob Wrights, Guys, I just hope 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:11.880 Putin waits until after next week to start as nuclear war. 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:14.400 I've already invested a lot of time and money preparing 0:15:14.440 --> 0:15:17.960 to host a large gathering family for Thanksgiving dinner right here. 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:22.400 You On second thought, maybe this week would be better. Oh, Bob, 0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:29.960 let's see. Oh I like this, Steven beautiful Chico, California. 0:15:30.040 --> 0:15:32.800 Shout out to Chico. Good folks have been supporting us 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:36.360 for ages. He says. I had to share my response 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:39.600 to a liberal friends Facebook post. The facebook post is 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:44.960 as follows, don't buy anything on Black Friday, F capitalism. 0:15:44.360 --> 0:15:48.000 And f colonialism. Oh my god, I know, I know, 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:49.400 I know. Wow. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.560 Steve's comment was, you realize that voting with your dollars 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.480 and not buying anything on Black Friday Friday is the 0:15:56.640 --> 0:16:04.600 very definition of capitalism. I love it. Let's see. Oh 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:08.320 this is keeping my head down. And as a Republican 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:15.760 in Oregon says that Oregon has just issued brand new, expensive, crazy, 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:22.560 time consuming mandatory training for old folks Homes employees to 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:26.240 be able to deal with transgender folks. Oh my god, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.400 the old folks homes. Oh my paid training to be 0:16:29.480 --> 0:16:32.800 paid for by the employer. Required first twelve months of 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.800 higher every two years, mandatory, ninety minute, expensive, blah blah blah. 0:16:36.960 --> 0:16:39.760 We're already losing staff, like crazy says, and this is 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:41.840 going to make it even worse. But you know, as 0:16:41.880 --> 0:16:44.920 we talk about the whole woke agenda and did Trump's 0:16:44.960 --> 0:16:49.440 election end it? No, no, no, It's still growing in 0:16:49.600 --> 0:16:52.200 government and academia. You're going to go into an old 0:16:52.240 --> 0:16:55.800 folks home and start asking people in their eighties and 0:16:56.000 --> 0:16:58.280 nineties about the pronouns. You're gonna get a lot of 0:16:58.320 --> 0:17:03.240 blank looks. Yeah. Yeah, this stuff is still growing, and 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.200 we've got to be fighting it with all of our energy. 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:08.680 Got some more great email to get to Maybe we'll 0:17:08.680 --> 0:17:11.040 sprink it in the sprinkle it in throughout the mister Johnson, 0:17:11.080 --> 0:17:13.960 which pronoun would you like us to call you by? What? What? Now? 0:17:15.200 --> 0:17:17.280 I realize you're ninety three? But which pronoun would you 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:17.880 like us today? 0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:18.400 Huh? 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.040 I'm sorry not following you? Yeah, no kidding. We got 0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:23.120 a lot more news of the day. 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:27.040 Stay with US, Armstrong and Getty. 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:31.879 President Elect Trump with Elon Musk in Texas there for 0:17:31.960 --> 0:17:35.040 the sixth test launch of the SpaceX starship meant to 0:17:35.119 --> 0:17:38.480 eventually take humans to the Moon and Mars. The launch 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.000 itself successful, the booster even detaching as it's supposed to, 0:17:42.359 --> 0:17:45.560 but then SpaceX, seeing some issue with the booster. 0:17:45.560 --> 0:17:49.040 Booster offshore divert Unfortunately, that means that we are our 0:17:49.200 --> 0:17:50.280 no go for the catch. 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:52.840 It was supposed to land back in Texas, but to 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:56.600 save it from potentially destroying the SpaceX launch facility or 0:17:56.720 --> 0:18:00.480 endangering lives on land, the booster shifting course and heading 0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:02.600 to the Gulf instead for a splashdack. 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.560 So they didn't catch this rocket with them. 0:18:05.800 --> 0:18:08.359 What does he call it? The Mega something or other 0:18:08.520 --> 0:18:11.560 is what he calls the giant arm that catches the 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:15.879 rocket booster. I still feel like the media has not 0:18:16.240 --> 0:18:18.760 caught on to the way Elon looks at these things. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.840 Oh yeah, agreed. The whole fail fast theory or there's 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.520 no fast and learn faster, isn't that he says? Yeah, 0:18:27.560 --> 0:18:29.520 in this thing, which you can apply to your own life, 0:18:29.560 --> 0:18:31.280 I've tried to apply it to mine. Is just there's 0:18:31.280 --> 0:18:33.879 no such thing as failure. It's just information. Okay, I 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:37.000 tried this, this is the result. There's information about so 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.480 now I'll try to try it this way right. Failure 0:18:40.640 --> 0:18:44.520 will never hold you back. Fear of failure is crippling. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:46.320 Yeah. Interesting. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:49.840 And Elon expressed again yesterday that he plans to have 0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:53.920 a rocket reach Mars in twenty twenty six. Now, he 0:18:54.359 --> 0:18:57.200 promises a lot of things. It often comes up short. 0:18:57.480 --> 0:19:00.680 I think that's part of his whole success thing. Is 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:09.080 he he hits he sets aggressive deadlines. Yeah, under strives now, 0:19:09.560 --> 0:19:12.439 but I mean if he's if he's off by several years, 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:15.040 that'd be quite amazing. I hope it happens in my lifetime. 0:19:15.200 --> 0:19:18.320 What just a stunning thing to even think about. And 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.480 this isn't aside and we'll dig into this more thoroughly 0:19:20.600 --> 0:19:24.240 later on, but compare that idea of we're gonna set 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:27.320 a goal that's probably not reachable, but we're gonna go 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:31.639 nuts trying to get there. Who's in compared to government 0:19:32.160 --> 0:19:36.440 right where I'd like to see that memo filled out 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:40.200 by the end of the month. There are seven of 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:42.800 you working on. Have we run that through the Environmental 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.960 Agency to make sure we're not a foul of any 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:50.200 this or that. Have the application done by next March. So, 0:19:50.680 --> 0:19:55.560 speaking of mankind and the amazing thing that Homo sapiens 0:19:55.600 --> 0:19:57.280 have been into outer space and are going to go 0:19:57.400 --> 0:20:00.480 further and further versus many of the other humans that 0:20:00.600 --> 0:20:03.800 have existed on planet Earth that didn't make it out 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.440 of the Stone Age? 0:20:06.840 --> 0:20:07.359 Why is that? 0:20:07.480 --> 0:20:10.280 So you might be familiar with the book Sapiens that 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.280 came out several years back. It was a big giant 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:15.400 hit and it's just a fascinating freaking book. But I'd 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:17.520 only read the first chapter before, and I'm into the 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:22.200 deeper chapters. At one time, there were six different kinds 0:20:22.240 --> 0:20:24.760 of humans existing on the planet at the same time, 0:20:25.600 --> 0:20:30.960 and it's still not completely known why Homo sapiens this 0:20:31.080 --> 0:20:34.160 is what we are, emerged and all the other ones 0:20:34.880 --> 0:20:38.560 didn't make it. But one of the genocide against my peoples, 0:20:38.600 --> 0:20:40.360 the Neanderthals. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:40.280 Could be. 0:20:42.680 --> 0:20:45.280 Or all kinds of different things could have happened. But 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:48.359 one of the beliefs is, and I'd never heard this before, 0:20:48.480 --> 0:20:51.640 is Homo sapiens are the only beast that has ever 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:56.720 existed on Earth that can believe fictions and. 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:00.240 Fully embraced them. 0:21:00.480 --> 0:21:03.040 And I didn't quite understand what he meant by fictions 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:04.800 when he started in on it, But he uses all 0:21:04.880 --> 0:21:10.800 different kinds of examples, for instance, and if you're a 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:13.760 religious person, you will be bothered by him using the 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:16.399 word fiction. But he doesn't mean fiction as in U 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:19.600 fake as much is it something that's in your mind. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.400 I'll start with this and said before I get to religion. Money. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.000 Money is a fiction. I mean it is it is. 0:21:27.200 --> 0:21:28.840 You know, you take a piece of paper. 0:21:28.920 --> 0:21:30.280 It doesn't it's just a piece of paper. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:32.680 So you have to have all the belief that goes 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:36.359 in with a five dollars bill of what the value 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.080 of it is, how it's backed up by the US government, 0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.440 how it can be exchanged for something. Then you give 0:21:41.480 --> 0:21:43.560 the five dollar bill to somebody at the store who 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.440 also believes the fiction of this piece of paper, and 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.840 so you can trade goods and stuff like that. No 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.840 other beast, probably no other human ever had the mental 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:56.160 ability to do that, so you couldn't trade. For instance, 0:21:56.600 --> 0:21:59.800 some might prefer the term abstraction. Maybe yeah, you know, 0:22:00.160 --> 0:22:02.879 that would be better believing something or understanding it in 0:22:02.960 --> 0:22:06.240
