Context —
feels like that's just a serial killer vibe, doesn't it? I don't know. But she's pretty happy with herself. All right. I also wonder if she owns a pet. Imagine if you had killed 500 mammals for fun. Does she have a dog? Does she have a dog? Because that dog would be really nervous. I mean would she ever look at her dog and think to herself I love my dog but oh man it would be fun to kill it. I'd…
← Previous segment →'s sophistry or you're twisted in pretzels my observation of living life and being a trained hypnotist is that those people are experiencing cognitive dissonance and that's exactly what it feels like.
So if your take on my argument was well I understand your argument Scott but I disagree with it because of this reason or this fact or this priority you probably are not experiencing cognitive dissonance. You're a person with a different opinion. If you listen to my opinion on the regular flu stuff and you concluded that it didn't make sense that it was all like pretzely and sophistry you are almost certainly experiencing cognitive dissonance.
And the reason I point that out is look at the other people's comments. When you see let's say I'll just pick a number for argument 75 percent of the people say I completely understand your argument even if I don't agree with it and then 25 percent say I think your argument is pretzel logic and sophistry almost always you can depend on those people being the cognitive dissonance ones. And the people who say I see the argument but sometimes I disagree with it this reason or that probably just different opinions.
All right. So that's all I got for you and now I take my leave and I will talk to you tomorrow. Bye for now.
All right YouTubers I've got an extra minute by the way on YouTube. I'll just tell you guys I created yesterday on the Locals platform subscription service a lesson on how to become a cartoonist. Now separately I'll do a lesson on how to draw a cartoon but the business side and what tools to use and how to think about it and how to break into the business and sort of the general setup of how someone would become a cartoonist is now on the Locals platform. Locals.com just search for my name.
And the reason I did it is not because I think a lot of people want to become cartoonists. What you'll find is a whole lot of non-obvious suggestions which I think you'll find interesting. Just the non-obvious ones. And it'll also give you an idea about breaking into any kind of field that is unfamiliar. So if you look at the concepts that I talk about with cartooning.
Really? Richard McCarthy did you really just send me a hundred dollars? You're a saint. You know I have to say that it's weird. No it would not be telling you something you don't know that I'm rich. The Dilbert cartoon did a good job for me and I don't do this because of the money, right? But I do monetize. I do monetize and that does make me work harder. I'm pretty sure that I do more work because it's monetized actually. I'm positive. There's no doubt about it. I do way more effort and put more into it because it's monetized even if I don't need the money.
So when I just saw that notice come in somebody just gave me a hundred dollars. I don't know why exactly but I did something that somebody said that's worth a hundred dollars. And I gotta say that while I don't need a hundred dollars that you made my day because I just feel like a compliment, right? And but a compliment with money that's a real compliment. You know you don't have to wonder if it's insincere, right? It's a hundred bucks. That's sincere.
So thank you for that. That actually moved me because it's just a vote of confidence and I appreciate it. I appreciate it very much. And I'm going to end on that happy note. So thank you.
