ems reasonable — trained in risk management, and they've also been trained to not be afraid of... right now I don't think COVID is... I'm saying that if you looked at their specific risks the big one is bullets and fragmentation from bombs, right? That's like the big risk of going to war. That's like a real risk. We've actually trained this specific group of people plus whatever they brought to the show to not be afraid even in the scariest situation. Should you be surprised that they're also not afraid in the least scary situation for them?

Now of course COVID is a very scary situation for the world. For them specifically it's kind of the last thing they need to worry about. Let's say you're a Marine and you get infected. What is the downside? One week off with pay, right? I mean maybe you're not where you want to be but it's sort of not the worst thing in the world. A week off with pay.

All right, so I'm not saying that the Marines should or should not get vaccinated. I'll leave that to them and the medical professionals and the military professionals. There's certainly some precedent that you could. Don't be surprised if it becomes mandatory. I wouldn't be surprised. But we'll wait on that.

If I told you we're going to develop a system, a new system for the world in addition to existing systems, and then the new system would have this feature that you could be punished because a stranger holds a different opinion — right, we're not talking about anybody breaking a law or anything like that — would you agree to a system that allowed you to be punished because a stranger, somebody you don't even know, holds a different opinion than you do? Would you ever agree to that?

That's our current system. That's the system we sort of evolved into without thinking about it too much. Because here's the setup. If you have the opinion which no court has upheld — actually I can't even say this because I think I get banned from YouTube even mentioning the topic — but there's a topic that had something to do with let's say electing. And somebody, you can guess what that might be. And there are some people who have different opinions about let's say the perfection of the system. There's some people who think it was closer to perfect and other people who might have a different opinion.

Now since we haven't done a fully transparent look at everything there is to look at, both of those are opinions. Meaning that nobody could know they're right. You couldn't know which one is right. So it's just an opinion. But our current system is that if the people who manage the various platforms have a different opinion than you do they can punish you by taking you off the platform. Because in the modern world that is punishment. It could punish you economically. It could punish you socially. It's punishment.

Our current system allows a stranger to punish you for having a different opinion. Now it would be one thing if their opinion was confirmed by science. You know it was like two plus two is four so it's not really an opinion. In that case you could imagine
