Which is ruining a lot of old jokes. But I guess they were inappropriate in the first place. So Poland and doing everything right I'm told. Good for you Poland. Alright did anybody see an interview? A recent one. It just happened this week. Between Lex Friedman and Mark Zuckerberg. In which they do the interview within virtual reality. Now when I first say that you say blah blah blah that's been done before. No not like this. This is photo realistic. So the two heads were not their real heads. But every little eye movement you know mouth feature as they spoke. All in real time all synced up and all perfectly real. And as they were talking to each other in the virtual world they could put their virtual heads pretty close together. And it actually feels like awkward because you're too close to another person. So you actually feel like it's the real person when you're in that mode. Now the current limitation is that they don't have a cheap easy way to scan your face. Someday you'll be able to presumably. Someday you'll be able to hold up your camera and you'll scan yourself and then create your model for this. But at the moment I guess it takes hours and special equipment. But here's the big change. They don't need to send over the internet the entire video of what you're trying to look like. Instead they create it once and then the only thing that they send over the internet is the changes. Like a numerical representation of the change. So that you can use low bandwidth, relatively low bandwidth, and have a complete photorealistic experience as long as you've scanned both sides. Now that's pretty awesome. And apparently it's so intimate that you can imagine nearly a sexual experience because probably you could. I don't want to get too detailed but I'm sure there's a way that you could turn it into almost a full sexual experience. Now imagine if you wanted to, let me make a prediction. There will be digital prostitution. And by that I mean people who are maybe not attractive but they create an avatar which is, and it's photorealistic. And then maybe the person on the other side has some physical component, sex toy, that they can be using at the same time that they think they're with this person. It's going to be pretty intense. So, you know, goodbye reproduction. So it's going to be better than regular sex I think. The real test will be if it can activate your oxytocin. So your oxytocin is the chemical that your body produces when you're hugging people and having intimate contact. And as far as I know it's the only way you can get it. There's nothing else you can do. It's a human to human. Maybe your pet can do it a little bit but it's basically a human to human situation. But could this technology be so similar to a human? And it probably is. If you don't want to be close to the other person's face because it feels creepy, probably you're releasing some of those hormones. So maybe it's an oxytocin source who knows. All right, I've got a way to tell who's going to be successful. Do you ever look at a young person and say to yourself is that person going to be successful? Now if you assume some minimum level of capability, then the next question is are they going to use that capability to do anything useful and be successful? Here's the best predictor that I've seen. It's interest in figuring out the mechanism of success. So it's not just, oh, I'll work hard or I want it really hard or I have passion or something. But does somebody actually go out on the way to study the actual mechanism, the systems? What do you do? What do successful people do? How do you get from here to there? What's the process? And you can see that right away with little kids. When I was 12 years old, I was already gobbling up news stories about famous people. Any kind of story about a millionaire, I'd read the whole thing. I was like, oh, how do you get there? Especially if the story was they came from nothing and they made money, I'd read all of that. And then I would also read books and stuff as I get a little older about anybody who would come up with some method for beating the system. And I see that also with my book, Reframe Your Brain. Because Reframe Your Brain is one of those change-your-life kinds of books. And here's what I say about it. And then you tell me if this would tell you who is successful. Imagine you said this to somebody. You said, oh, I've got this book. It's called Reframe Your Brain. And I tweeted this. Many people say this book as the highest value to your life for the least effort in reading. So it's the least amount of reading, meaning it's a real easy read, for the biggest impact. Now, if somebody told you that, wouldn't you at least want to skim through that book? Now, if you don't, and that doesn't interest you at all, you're probably not somebody who's going to really kill it in life. If somebody hands you something that's like, all right, if you spend like a minute looking at this, your whole life will be better. And if they say no, you can pretty much predict how their life is going to be. Now, they don't have to take it and read it while you're watching. But if they don't at least show a little interest in something that would be a small amount of work for a huge game, they're probably not going anywhere. So that's a good way to spot successful people. And by the way, the feedback for that book is insane. The number of people, people are saying to save their lives, like literally, and change their lives and all kinds of stuff. It's amazing. So Senator Dianne Feinstein has died at the age of 90. And boy, this is a tough one. It's a tough one. Because we all want to show respect to the family and for the person passing. But does make you wonder where the line is? Where's the line? You know, what kind of behavior would be so bad that you would not show respect to somebody after they died? No, it's kind of subjective. But people are going to be all over the line on this one. So the real question is, is there any way to make Adam Schiff's eyes bug out more than they were already? And the answer is yes, the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein, because Adam Schiff might be the replacement. It could be. You never know. Or possibly Joe Biden will choose Dianne Feinstein's corpse as his new VP as an upgrade, possibly. Anything could happen. Damn it, I couldn't be respectful. I couldn't go a minute. Well, I don't think she respected me either, so I think we're even. All right. So the leading causes of death for people between the age of 18 and 44 used to be automobiles. Used to kill the most people between 18 and 44. And now it's suicide and fentanyl, which are very related. Fentanyl and suicide. Yep. So if El Chapo died, would I have any respect for him? Would I say, whoa, that's El Chapo. He was sending a lot of fentanyl into the United States. But, you know, he's dead now. So I respect him, and I don't want to offend the family. So let's show some respect for El Chapo when he passes. Does that sound right? Not really. No, because you think he was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans through fentanyl. But suppose you had a politician who was also responsible. In other words, somebody whose job it was to control the border, or at least be one of them, but wasn't doing it. And left the border open. Should I feel different about somebody who allowed El Chapo to do it versus how I feel about El Chapo himself? I'll leave that in open question. Well, who's suing Musk today? As you know, the government is weaponizing itself against Elon Musk because he likes free speech. I mean, literally that's the reason. And now the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing Tesla because they're accusing them of violating federal law by tolerating. So they didn't do something that he tolerated, allegedly. Widespread and ongoing racial harassment of its black employees and subjecting some of them for retaliation for opposing the harassment. Now, do you suppose that Elon Musk was aware of this and tolerated it? No. No, of course he didn't. You know, he may have been aware of it, but I'm sure he wasn't tolerating it. I don't know what you can do about it exactly all the time. But, so that's the thing. But this is reported by NBC. And I noted the other day that NBC is how the NPCs get programmed. Is that a coincidence? That NBC and NPCs are the same? Oh, I saw it on MSNBC. So I think I'm going to call them MSNBC because they're the ones who program the NPCs. Am I wrong?
