o do that. It's something the president does great, and most politicians do it well as well.

The only thing that bothered me about Dave Portnoy's interview is that it should have been me. And when I say a show to bed, it just means I'm jealous. Yeah, so I'm just jealous because if there was anybody who would give an irreverent interview with the president, they would still be watchable. I would be on that list of people that you should watch interview the president. Now I do have her—informally I did put a request in, but I probably need to formalize that, because I think that between now and November an interview with me with President Trump, I think would be useful for the country. I wouldn't be just entertaining. I'd want it to be useful. So I think I could frame things in a way that you would quite enjoy it. But yes, I'll have to confess there are very few things that make me jealous because it's just not an emotion I spend any time with. But that's why this caught me off guard and it's why I'm mentioning it. That was the first time I genuinely felt jealous. I mean, it's a small thing, right? It has no real impact in my life. But he was that good. So you want to be so good at your job as Dave Portnoy is. You want to be so good that somebody else who does that job goes, oh damn it, damn it, that should have been me. So A-plus. Watch it if you haven't seen it.

I cheekily am continuing to say that—oh, by the way, I just one more thing about the fine people hoax. In the past when I've tweeted that the fine people hoax is a hoax, my comment feed would just fill with people who would say no it isn't, it's totally true, I heard it myself. Today I tweeted that and got almost no people who thought it was true. Now I don't know if that's because all of the Democrats now know it wasn't true or if they gave up. They just suddenly stopped refuting that point. That doesn't make sense. I feel like maybe we made a dent collectively because at least my critics have backed off and just let it go that I'm stating it as a fact that it's a hoax, and then they're letting it go now, which I think is capitulation. But I might be a little optimistic on that, at least for the commenters, not for the—I think Biden still says it.

All right, my last point here. I've said this before, but you cannot—I don't think you could ignore the effect of fiction on how we look at the real world. Because everything you look at needs to fit some model of understanding. And ideally you want the new information to fit some existing model in your head, and you just populate that existing model. That's called confirmation bias, and you see it in everything, right? You see the left agrees with the left, the right agrees with the right. But there's a statement about human beings that I think you would all agree with, which is it's difficult to do something, anything, until you can first imagine it. So you don't really attempt to do things you can't imagine. The Wright brothers invented an airplane because they could imagine it working. I assume they imagined it working and then they worked on it. Now all the things you imagine don't work necessarily when you try to do them, but you're not going to do anything until you can first imagine it's a thing.

And that makes me get to my impression or the filter that I just sort of automatically have on watching the protests. The first filter is it looks very female-led. And I don't know how many of you are also getting that feeling, but Antifa in particular, and I think Black Lives Matter as well, but they seem like they are mostly female leaders, or at least the leaders that are the most vocal or maybe the most effective, most aggressive, seem to be female. So it's like a female-led organization. And the males, at least the Antifa males—not so much the Black Lives Matter males, but the Antifa males—seem to fall into a category of not as manly, if we could say that. And again this isn't an insult. I'm not saying that if you don't have a manly persona you're worth less or anything. Nothing like that. I'm left of burning. So if you want to be every letter in LGBTQ, I'm cool with that. I'm 100 percent cool with that. You can be any letter you want. You can be any lifestyle you want. If it doesn't bother me, you can be whatever you want. So there's no criticism implied here. I'm just observing that there's a certain kind of man who is enjoying this Antifa situation. And they, if I could use the diminutive term, beta males, they kind of fall into that category. Now again this is not an insult because I think that it's a big world. I'm not saying it's a good thing to be an alpha male or that it's a bad thing to be a beta male. They both exist. It's a preference. It's the way you're born or it's a lifestyle. It doesn't matter. It's all okay with me. If you're not breaking the law, if you're not violating the Constitution, it's just none of my business. Period. Could not care less about your personal lifestyle choices if they don't affect me.

So I say that just because my filter is that it looks like Game of Thrones with Daenerys. So you've got the strong female leader, the queen of dragons, and she formed an army of literally eunuchs. So their men had been castrated to make them more docile and obedient soldiers, I guess. I don't know what the theory was there exactly. But it reminded me of that. And it looks like it's the queen of dragons with her unique army, but they're reenacting the Joker movie. And I said this before to great pushback, which I enjoy of course. And the pushback was that if the Joker movie had not been such a universally acclaimed movie and a lot of people saw it, if you hadn't first pictured the Joker movie, would it have been as easy to recreate it? Because that's what the protests and the looting effectively did. It recreated the look and feel of the Joker movie. Is that a coincidence? Is it simply that there are movies and they're in my head and so I just interpret the world through those movies and that's all it is? Or is there a causal relationship? In other words, if you can only do the things you can imagine, and what you could imagine was not everybody's doing well but what you could imagine was that Joker movie, you're more likely to do the thing you could imagine.

So I do think that fiction has a big role in how we're interpreting our reality but also how we act on it, because you just don't act on things you can't imagine. All right, I'm just looking at your comments. Yeah, you know, I don't think that we should make a judgment about what's better or worse when it comes to people's biological situation, but it is fair to say it's different. Nobody would argue with the fact that there are differences among people, but we don't have to put a value judgment on that. Anyone see Zuckerberg's face in Hawaii? Yeah, Zuckerberg uses a lot of sunscreen, but if you've seen his complexion, you know there's a good reason for that.

But where is the imagining from? Well, it's coming from fiction. That's the point. Somebody says you're reaching on the Joker thing. In my opinion, well, you know, the best opinions are the ones that you say to yourself—in fact I try to stay in that space as much as possible. My favorite opinions to present here are the ones where you say to yourself, I'm not so sure that's true. I've got a little skepticism about that. Those are my favorite places to be.

I will tell you that based on everything I know from hypnosis, from persuasion, and living a life in which I've done everything from marketing to selling, that the models that you have in your head of what the world can look like are very persuasive.
