his is a better shirt today. I feel like this shirt. And that belief is more like that. That we pick the belief that sort of gives us some benefits, makes us feel good, makes us feel connected, whatever. And that we don't actually say are these beliefs based on science or truth? Can I prove it? Am I being gullible? What about those other people? Why do they believe something different? It's nothing like that. It's simply a lifestyle choice to buy into a set of beliefs and then treat them as though they're true even on some level knowing that you just made a choice to treat them as true as opposed to them being objectively true anyway.

You should watch the Q special. I think you're actually going to learn a lot about how completely normal people can choose to believe something crazy.

I'll give you an example of that. When I watch one of my favorite shows is about ancient astronauts and ancient aliens allegedly have building the pyramids and allegedly interacting with lots of different early cultures. Speaking of which I'll show you a picture if I can do this on camera. So in Tahiti they've got all of these, let's see if I can do this, if I can hold it just right you can see it. There's a little totem looking picture all over the place in Tahiti where it looks like an alien, like this big eyed alien thing. And they're all over the place as if the early Tahitians had had contact with an alien race and that now they're building them into all their imagery. And I thought to myself well maybe they just liked creating creatures that looked identically to how we would imagine an alien looks. It's just a coincidence. Maybe that's what's going on.

But when I watch those shows I suspend my critical thinking and I allow myself to live in a reality in which the aliens did come down and taught people how to build pyramids and those are why the cave drawings look like advanced aliens with spaceships sometimes. Now when I do that, when I accept that reality for the point of entertaining myself by watching this, am I really accepting it as an actual reality or am I accepting it as an entertainment reality? And I feel like it's different. My inner sense of it is that if you put a gun to my head and said all right now you're going to have to bet with your real money or we're going to kill you if you're wrong. You have to bet. Did the aliens teach the early people how to build the pyramids? All right you got to put your real money on it now. I'd bet against it. I'd bet against it. And I wouldn't feel too unsafe when I did. I'd feel confident that I could bet against the aliens having built the pyramids or helped on that.

But when I watch those shows I like to accept it as true because it makes it more fun. So I find that I can wear reality like a shirt. I can just put on my alien astronaut shirt and I can just wear it for a while and then I can just take it off. And if somebody says now you have to bet your real money I'd say oh real money, real money, okay let me take off the shirt.

Once you learn that people can change their religion basically like they can change a shirt because it's more of a lifestyle decision, it's not based on what you really think is true in many cases, once you realize that distinction it starts explaining a lot of what you see. That people are adopting a belief that just feels good and they will and they can lose that belief if there's something that makes it stop feeling good. And the Q stuff you know had this business in the Capitol which was an event that made it stop feeling good. And the moment it stopped feeling good there were some people such as this guy talking to Anderson Cooper who said okay it doesn't feel good anymore. Now I'll change my belief.

All right. Who killed more people, the CCP or Q? Well that's easy.

All right that's about all I got now. I'm just looking at your comments. People love the ancient alien stuff. It just captures your imagination. All right. Was it a good honeymoon? Yes it was. Yes it was. I'd show you some pictures but you'd feel bad.

All right I'm going to put together some of my best, I think I've had some time to plan, micro lessons on how to program your brain. Now it's my favorite topic, how to reprogram your brain. But I've got another take on it that I think will be useful that will be on the Locals platfor
