his might create an opening for this second narrative that Zelensky is a puppet of the Kremlin and he's practically inviting them in. And then the other narrative that nothing like that is happening.

So once again two worlds. Does the simulation require that in every case? And I'm not even sure this is a Democrat or Republican question is it? Because I think you could find people on both sides of what we should do on Ukraine. But everything has to be at least two stories or more because the simulation can't handle complexity with one story.

If you're coming in late, if we live in the simulation there's got to be a resource constraint like any computer. And so there's a reason that we all have different realities because you couldn't have one reality and make every part of every reality consistent with every other. Too much resources, too many resources.

So the prediction of the simulation is that every major story will branch into multiple realities and that has to happen. You can't program the simulation unless you do that.

Here is my mind-breaking whiteboard for today. The thing you've all been waiting for but you didn't even know it. I call it the military financial reframe and it goes like this. That if you look at the arc of time that power used to be really a military thing which of course was highly correlated with wealth. You know wealth could get you a better military but not necessarily. So if you had a great military you had a lot of power. If you had money that was great. Money was great. But if all you had was money and you didn't have a good military the military next door would come and take your money.

But thanks primarily to the internet and our financial markets becoming global and intertangled and the fact that money has to go through basically wires to get anywhere, it doesn't get on a boat, it's not hidden somewhere, has to go across a wire. So we became so connected with each other because of the internet that finance as a weapon gets more and more powerful the more connected we are and the more trade we do.

And so I would submit to you that Ukraine is our crossover point. The crossover point at which a financial weapon is more useful than a military weapon because the military weapon would guarantee Russia's destruction am I right? So it pretty much guarantees they're not going to go nuclear. So the value of their arsenal is not really that good.

So here they are a nuclear power. They can't really use their nukes so that bring
