atisfy their shareholders, presumably they should do what's good for the share price, within reason of course, not doing anything illegal. But what is the argument that they will make more money by doing this? You could easily make an argument that they'll make less money because you're going to get fewer guests of the conservative types going to Disney. So why would Disney, a corporate entity wh…

So if you think I'm saying that Ivermectin definitely doesn't work in any scenario whatsoever because there's a study that says that, I guess I just can't do that anymore. I just can't tell you because there's a high-quality study that it's true. It just doesn't work in 2022.
But let me say this, and this is not based on analysis. It's based on more like sometimes you just have to guess. Which is right? If you put a gun to my head and said you have to pick, does Ivermectin work or does it not, and we're actually just going to kill you if you get the wrong answer, I would bet it doesn't work. Don't know if I'm right because I don't think that the data can ever answer that question because we don't live in a world where data is reliable. But that would be my guess. And if you guess differently, I'm not even going to argue with you because since my guess is not based on reason...
I have a question for you. Does evil exist? Does evil exist? Lots of yeses on the Locals platform. Mostly yeses. Now can somebody define evil outside of mental illness? Because my frame on life is that some people have mental illness and some people don't. Or actually we all do, but it's a different kind, I guess. You could say everybody's got some kind of mental illness, just some less than others.
I don't really buy into the evil explanation because I don't know what it adds. What does it add? Because thinking in terms of demons and angels and god-like demonic stuff, I don't know what it adds to your understanding or what does it add to your process. Do you do something differently because of that? Pray or something like that? I don't know.
I say evil is just your subjective opinion of stuff you're seeing. I don't believe that evil exists as any kind of a quantity or a force in the world. I just think some people are broken. That's all. And you get exactly the same result. So I don't think you need to go to the complicated explanation that we've got souls and some of them are corrupted or controlled by Satan or anything. I think you just go for the easiest explanation: that some people have mental problems and that's it. That's it. Because it does explain everything.
If there were something it didn't explain, then I would revise it. But if it explains everything and it doesn't require you to believe anything that's not obvious and right in front of you — right, mental illness is obvious and true and right in front of you —

but evil? I don't know. Can you get a handful of evil? Can you measure it? This one's 200 evil. This other one, I don't know. Evil is real, but it's real in the sense of how we process our environment. So for some of you it's real. For me I've never sensed it, felt it, framed it that way, considered it as even anything important. Yeah, the Nazi death camps. Okay, there, let's take the extreme exa…
