rst true thing they said. What the hell are all the people who have been deluged by fake news for four years, what are they supposed to think? They just reflexively say if CNN says that it can't be true because they have a whole four years of knowing that that's the pattern. Don't expect people to break pattern. It's hard to do.

Somebody says but it isn't true. It is a low risk. Well it can be a low risk and kill millions of people. Is there anybody who would disagree with the statement that something could be a very low risk, let's say the coronavirus, while also killing millions of people? As long as both of those are true, you saying it's a low risk doesn't say anything. If you say it's a low risk therefore we should not treat it like it's important, well you're stupid. All right, unfortunately there's no way around that. That would just be stupid. It's a low risk for the population in general. That population in general is not necessarily you. Now if you're 12 years old, yeah you could treat it like it's not a risk. It might kill grandma if you do, but if you're 12 it probably won't kill you. If you're me and you've got a comorbidity, if you're over 60 with a comorbidity, asthma in my case, do you treat that like it's low risk? I treat it like it's one risk I can control. So I'm going to. I can control it in a little bit. I can't control it totally but I'm going to do what I can do. So don't be fooled by saying it's a 99.99 chance that you'll survive. That is unrelated to whether it's a big problem. You get that right? Does everybody get that? Those two things can be true. That 99.99 of you will have no problem at all at the same time with no conflict whatsoever it's a gigantic global problem. You get that right? Those are not conflicts. Those are saying the same thing. Just two facts.

Now I'm being blamed for being bad at math by somebody who's literally named Jim Davis. That's right. The most common insult I get is oh you're the creator of Garfield. Go back to drawing your cat. The most common criticism I get, the one critic I choose to read out of that list, his name is Jim Davis. The same as, I don't think it's Jim Davis the creator of Garfield, but the name of the creator of Garfield. The only one I saw. How did I start this Periscope? I started it by saying you're going to see name repeats. That's how I started and there it was. You're watching it right in front of you. That's a name repeat right there. Of all the names in the world I only read one and of all these names that went by I only read one and I didn't see the name first. I saw the comment first and then I noticed the name. I'm just saying. I'm just saying.

Now this of course is more of a, it's a demonstration of confirmation bias is what it is, right? It's, you know, maybe it's the simulation which would be fun. But watch how much I can prime you because I'm doing it intentionally. I'm priming you to see name repeats. Watch how often you see it. This should teach you that in other situations where I don't tell you in advance, I'm going to prime you for confirmation bias. I'm a trained hypnotist if anybody doesn't know that already. I'm a trained hypnotist. I'm priming you right now. I'm priming you for confirmation bias. You're going to see name repeats when you do and you will tell yourself oh this is how everything works. Everything is priming me. Almost everything I think is true is confirmation bias. And once you see it with thi
