You saw Kanye liking President Trump. Ice Cube willing to talk to the Trump administration. You saw 50 Cent saying some positive things about Trump before some negative things. And now I guess Lil Wayne has met President Trump and endorses him.

Now as I've said many times, our brains are pattern recognition machines. That's basically what they are. That's all they are. Our brain just recognizes patterns and it's not good at it, which is the other part. The reason that there are things like bias and discrimination and racism and all these things are because our brains are pattern recognition machines but they're not good. They don't work very well. We see patterns that are not real patterns. We believe we see patterns when there are no patterns. But we can't turn off our pattern-recognizing function because that's the basis of our intelligence, is recognizing patterns.

So now you have these four famous Black male rapper types. I guess they'd all be called rappers. Or you know, obviously Kanye is much more than that. 50 Cent much more than that. Ice Cube is much more than that. Actually they all have multiple career paths. But your pattern recognition part of your brain, what's it do when you hear that all four of these famous Black musical-plus-other successes, what do you do when you hear that they're all somewhat okay with Trump? It makes a difference. It makes a difference because you can't unsee this pattern.

If it had only been Kanye, your brain would say that's not a pattern. That's one point. And Kanye's Kanye. So Kanye breaks so many norms that it doesn't really seem like a pattern. But then you get 50 Cent in the mix. But then you say to yourself, oh, okay, remember Kanye is the exception. So really it's just 50 Cent. And he didn't necessarily say he loves Trump. He just dislikes Biden's tax plan. So that's not exactly a pattern. That's two things that have something in common.

But then you throw in Ice Cube. And again Ice Cube's not pro-Trump. He's just willing to talk to them and acknowledges that they did some things for the Black community. But now you say to yourself, okay, there's still three different people, three individuals doing three things for their own purposes. But it sure feels like a pattern, doesn't it? It's not really a pattern but it feels like it.

And then you throw Lil Wayne on there and you're just done. Your brain is done at this point. You could tell yourself this isn't a pattern but it's a freaking pattern. All right. And again it's four people doing things for their own reasons. It's probably our racism that even puts them in the same category, right? If we're being honest. It's only a little bit of racism that says, oh, all these four people have something in common aside from music because they're Black. So your racism says it's a pattern and then you see it and then you make a lot more of it than it really is. But I think that that would be affecting the Black population as well as everybody else who's looking at it. I think it matters. I think that fourth rapper, you know, the addition of Lil Wayne takes it from I think I'm sort of almost seeing a pattern to oh, there's a pattern. Even if there isn't, you're now convinced there is.

Look at all the things we don't know about coronavirus. Look at all the things we don't know about life, really. But let me just run you through the things that we don't know, which is astonishing.

All right, number one, I saw there was some pullback on Regeneron. So that's the drug that the president was touting that he thinks helped him a lot. But apparently Regeneron is not giving the results that they want if you're in a late stage of disease. So I think they stopped testing it on people who were at the ventilator stage because it was maybe hurting them more than it was helping. Or at least it was an indication it might. So Regeneron is not quite the magic pill that you thought it was because it might only work well if you get it early.
