nt things you could say. The person who writes something down and is good at it has just tons of influence. So speech writers actually have a ton of influence over policy because the speech writer writes it and then the politician says yeah that would sound really good coming out of my mouth and that just sort of turns into their theme.

So we see here that taking my inert spoken word and turning it into a written transcript made it actually pretty powerful. And now you see people weighing in and I haven't seen much pushback. It's probably one of the most popular ideas that I've ever expressed. So take a look at it if you haven't seen it yet.

So here's another tip along those lines. So Derek Sivers suggests this writing tip and I'm gonna echo his recommendation that you write one sentence per line just for yourself when you're starting to write something longer. One sentence per line. Now you say to yourself well what's the difference between that and just putting it in the paragraph where it belongs? And he tells you this. If you write every sentence by itself you don't get to hide it with the other sentences. Because sometimes you can put a weak sentence in the middle of a paragraph and your brain will sort of skip over it because the other ones have more impact. But if you're forced to write every sentence on its own line and look at it you can much more easily say you know what I didn't even need to say that because the other sentences basically covered it.

The other thing is that when you put them on their own line you can more easily pick out the first word in the sentence and the last because those have more impact. And those are just you know and then also you can look at the sentence length because you want sentence lengths that are variable but not beyond a certain too-long point, right? You can't be too short with a sentence. That's impossible. You can't be too short. One word could be a sentence if you're trying to communicate. But you could be too long. So these are things that you more easily see if you just break out the one sentence. You can see its length compared to the others and some variety. Some reasons why you don't want a long sentence because the brain's not good at following a long sentence. But there's no such thing as too short because there are times when one word is all you needed. And even though one word is not a sentence often people know what you mean so that's all you need.

I'm gonna get rid of you all right. So that's your writing tip for the day. And that ladies and gentlemen looks to be everything I wanted to talk about amazingly. And I don't know, am I wrong or is this the best live stream you've ever seen in your whole world?

The other thing I'm going to predict is if — so yesterday I took a ride on an electric scooter. How many of you have tried an electric scooter especially a high-end one? This was 500 watts. Number one it did every hill without a problem. Now I'm not a hugely gigantic human so it wasn't a problem for me. Suppose if you were 300 pounds it would be a problem. But have you ridden or tried an electric scooter? They are so fun. Somebody says I hurt myself. Yeah they're really dangerous. They're super dangerous. The whole time you're on it you're pretty sure you're going to die because they get wobbly pretty easily. But there's also a pretty fast learning curve.

So here's the thing. If you spend a minute on an electric bike or an electric scooter you will know it's the future.
