tubing. He may have been doing a little tubing when the camera was still on. And here's the funniest part is that the young man, the 21-year-old employee, he also has a side company. When he's not being an assistant in schools he also runs Pirate Magic, a business that throws pirate parties for youngsters while he portrays a character named Captain Silly Bones.

Let me give you this advice. Here's some good advice for you and you can take this to the bank. If there's any chance at all that you're going to get caught masturbating on Zoom, don't have a side business. Don't have a side business called pirate parties and don't call yourself Captain Silly Bones. Don't do them at the same time. That's like a comorbidity. One of those things just by itself, let's say the pirate parties, one of those things by itself that's fine. Pleasuring yourself in private, far as I know, still totally legal. Totally legal. A problem when you combine the two things on a Zoom call, right?

You know what, Captain Silly Bones, I don't think he's gonna get booked for another party.

Let me give you some advice that you will find very useful. Let me tell you what I do. The moment I'm done, I'm done with these Periscopes. The moment I'm done with them I've got two screens here, two iPads that are facing me where I would sit at my office desk. The first thing I do after I turn these off is I turn them this way so you're looking at each other. Now the first thing I do when I'm done with any kind of a Zoom call on my laptop, first thing I do, close the laptop.

So let me suggest to you that you never assume, never assume that you're not on livestream because that's how you lose your pirate parties if you know what I mean. Never assume it. So as a habit you should physically move your camera out of a viewing distance when you're done every time and just do it every time as a habit.

I'll tell you one wake-up call was when somebody discovered that I guess Mark Zuckerberg puts tape over the camera on his own laptop. Now do you think Mark Zuckerberg understands the world of security and what is or is not a risk? Oh he does. And if he's covering up the camera on his laptop maybe you should too. Now he's more of a target than you are but you're all targets. Yeah. And the same with the hot mic. Just assume you're always being listened to.

Now I've got a number of digital products here, everything from my phone to my Amazon digital assistant. So I just assume that I'm being recorded all the time. I just assume it. I just assume there's nothing I say even in the privacy of my own home, even in the bathroom. I just assume that somebody's listening or could. Doesn't mean they are listening. They just could. Technologically they could.

All right. So being boring is how I protect myself.

CNBC had this story and I think it's important that it's CNBC because it's a major, major network, right? Bill Gates was asked about nuclear power and he said it absolutely will be politically acceptable again, which is an interesting way to make the prediction. I think he was asked a specific question but according to Bill Gates, who most of you would associate with the left, wouldn't you? Now I don't think he associates himself that way. I doubt, I mean maybe he's a Democrat, I don't know. But he seems more like a problem solver than a political animal. And he's saying as clearly as possible nuclear power will absolutely be politically acceptable again. And he points out that it's safer than oil, coal and natural gas. The reason it will be acceptable is that it's safer.

And then he goes on to talk about one of the companies he's invested in, TerraPower. It's a generation 4 nuclear power that can't melt down and it's smaller, more economical. It's more off-the-shelf pieces. You can transport it easily etc. So that we may be years away from making that commercial but it really does matter that Bill Gates said this because he has credibility with the left. You know he thinks climate change is a big problem so he's got credibility.

Here's the other observation I was going to make about COVID. I feel like besides obesity the other biggest factor is how many strangers you let in your house. And by strangers I mean anybody who doesn't live there normally. So I feel as if if we controlled one variable we would get through the pandemic quickly. Now maybe the vaccinations will get us there on time anyway. But if in the beginning we had only done one restriction I think we'd already be done. And that one restriction would be don't let anybody inside your residence who is not a resident. Unless you know it could be the plumber with a mask, right? But nobody to visit. Not even your out-of-town family members.

I fee
