t's not a variable that needs to be put into the conversation?

Yeah, I feel as if that's another wokeness problem where we can't mention that it seems obvious that if you have a porous border during a pandemic you have less control of quarantining and stuff. I mean that's not a statement about anybody, right? That's just math. So I guess we're not allowed to say that.

So we're not allowed to say that it was a weight problem as much as a virus problem. As much as it was a virus problem it was equally a weight problem. If we can't say that out loud, how do you fix things if you can't even talk about them, right? And we don't have to shame anybody to just state that there's a health impact.

All right. Even California is starting to open up. Even my restrictive, stupid, incompetent state is starting to open up. So even some mass events will have small crowds, but there'll be at least big events.

I don't know about you, but today is the day I feel like we won. Now one of the problems with beating a pandemic is that there's no day when you can say, oh, the war is over. It's not like you fight a regular war against people and then you have an event and you sign a peace deal or whatever, a surrender deal, and you have a day that that's the end of it. So the pandemic won't have a day. I feel like we need one. I feel like we need one when it's over. Whatever day everybody who's smart says, yeah, it's definitely over, we should have some kind of a celebration. Maybe not every year. I don't know if we need to add a holiday. But we need one good celebration in this country anyway to acknowledge what the hell we just did and are doing.

Here's my take on it. As of today I feel we won. I feel like the war is over. Now it's not over. Way more work to do, right? But it feels like the kind of work that's more like the Marshall Plan. I feel like we're as much in the recovery phase as we are in the fighting-the-war phase at this point. So I feel like something amazing has happened.

When was the last time the entire world was on the same page? When was the last time the entire world had to fight the same battle? Even if you took World War II and you say, well, in World War II the whole world got together. No it didn't. No it didn't. The whole world was fighting against other parts of the world. That was when people were fighting other people. That's what a world war is, people versus people.

This is the first time, as far as I know, the first time the entire humankind has ever joined in the same side of the same war. Can you think of it? Can you think of anything like it? I can't.

In many ways this is the greatest thing humanity has ever done in the sense of it has the communication tools, you know, the ability to coordinate as one giant entity. You know, I wrote a book called God's Debris years ago. I won't give away the central conceit to the book, as authors like to use big words. And I feel as if this was the year that humanity became, in a small way, just sort of glancingly, one entity. Meaning that before this year you could say we had seven billion people and they were just separate entities. Yeah, some of them operated as governments and some of them operated as organizations, but for the most part it was just seven plus billion individuals with some rules.

And then the pandemic hit and suddenly every single human was on the same side. Yeah, we argue with China and stuff, but there's no question that both China and the United States wanted to beat the virus once it was out there.

So I feel as if something so big has happened that you can't see it because that could happen, right? Sometimes something can be so big that it's invisible. And the thing that is so big is that humanity just evolved into another sentient being. That's how big it is. That humanity became a new collective sentient being. First time. First time for all of us to be on the same page.

And you know, of course there are exceptions for people who never even heard of the virus living in uncontacted tribes and whatnot. But largely, largely we just became one entity. And will there be lasting benefits? I think so. Think of all the medical community people who now know each other, especially in the virology world, who now have met each other and shared techniques and tools, now have an open channel to each other that they never had before, right?

Humanity, you're starting to compete with God. You've got Elon Musk literally getting ready to put people on Mars. What do you think we're going to do when we get there? We're gonna terraform it eventually. Now I don't know that Elon Musk has any specific plan for terraforming Mars, but it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen. Humans have reached the point where we can turn a planet into a different planet. Think about it. That's completely within our scope of probability. It's not even just a possibility, it's a probability at this point. The humans will terraform another planet, maybe in your lifetime, the beginning of it.

So we have evolved into almost a god-like — not equal to God, but you know, in some of the lesser abilities, almost god-like. And believe it or not, I'm not stoned. I see somebody asking in the comments. No, no I'm not. I know it's amazing. Too optimistic now.

I know some of you are on the opposite page. You're saying to yourself, my God, that's not what happened. 1984 came early. The big powers that be have all coordinated to give us this fake pandemic, they say, and the real reason is to consolidate power. No it isn't. No it isn't. None of that happened. There was no meeting where shadowy figures got together and said if we release this pandemic and handle it a certain way we'll concentrate all the power in our hands. That didn't happen. That didn't happen.

But a lot of people will believe it happened along those lines.

I've decided that there's a great need that needs to be filled and I think I'm going to start filling it. It goes like this. You've heard me say before that defense attorneys, especially the ones who are defending people you're pretty sure are guilty, are not really serving just the client. A defense attorney is serving the public because the public has a tremendous need to know that trials are fair and that the accused gets the most aggressive defense they could possibly have. Because you want that when you get accused of something, right?

So when we like to hate the lawyers that take the case of somebody who's heinous, you know, a serial killer, and you know who's going to defend O.J., so you want to hate those lawyers for being like on the side of evil. But they're not. They're exactly the opposite of that. They're on your side. Because if you don't have those aggressive defense lawyers you don't have anything. You don't have anything. If you get rid of them the whole system is gone, right?

But look what's happened recently. We used to have the judicial system which would be the only place you could go to to be judged and then a penalty assessed if you were judged guilty. But that's changed now. The judicial system is only one of the places that you can be judged for your alleged crime and punished. It's only one of
