oes not become formed and solid until it's observed or measured. And I'll accept that there's somebody who says that's not true, but that's my interpretation. I'm going with it for now. Now under that interpretation, the more people there are in the world, there are more people seeing stuff and measuring stuff. So you would need more solid stuff in the world because there are more people who are…

So the thing that I make fun of that made Dilbert popular, and I've said this before but it's worth reiterating, Dilbert is not about something that somebody did wrong. It seems like it if you read it. It's like oh management did this wrong, management did that wrong, management did that wrong. It's not really what it's about. It's actually a little bit more subtle than that. Dilbert is about a good idea that is implemented wrong.
So a good idea would be managing your employees, right? It's hard to have a company if you don't manage your employees. But how do you do it wrong? You micromanage. You do too much of it. So doing too much of something is usually the way corporations do it wrong. They've got some little idea that's a good idea in certain ways and then they overextend it. To everybody's got to be doing everything. Everybody's got to be woke. Everybody's going to be whatever. So that's where they go wrong.
But woke-ism looks like it's going to destroy itself with complexity. Because if the people who would be the wokest are arguing about "feminism has to have intersectionality" or "as a Black feminist who considers intersectionality a core guiding principle, I am begging you to stop deploying it as a buzzword to problematize feminist politics which center women. You undermine Black feminist struggle and alienate many who support the vision." According to somebody, a little bit too complicated. A little bit.
All right. CBS Morning reported this, that today children are 30 percent less aerobically fit than their parents were at their age. And the study points to climate change and rising temperatures as adversely affecting childhood obesity because children spend less time exercising outdoors because of the climate change.
You're asking the right question. Is that a satire? Is it? Did I just make that up? Go. Did I just prank you? Did I read it? Did I read something that's definitely from a satire account that you couldn't tell? Could you tell if that was real? Was it real? Real or not real? It's real. It's real. Yeah, it's real. CBS News actually said there's a study that says the kids are getting fat because of climate change. They don't want to go outdoors because the weather's bad.
Do we even need to discuss that? Is that something where I need to like get into the details of you know what else has changed? Has anything else changed? Can you think of anything, any other big impact on society? Has anything changed lately? You know, COVID certainly made a difference lately. But the bigger change is screens and you know not having, basically just lifestyles changed and food got worse. Food got worse. Our entertainment choices got better in the sense that there are more of them but they're less physical. They're video games, right?
So between video games and screens and terrible food you have all the explanation you need. Does anybody have the experience of they've exercised less because of the weather? Is there even one person on here who believes that they exercise less lately because of the weather? Not one person. Not one person.
Now I don't know about where you live, but even on days when the weather is very much don't go outdoors weather where I live, there's usually one part of the day where it's not that bad. So it could be you know 100 degrees during the afternoon but you can pretty much depend that six in the morning if you wanted to go for a run you'd be fine, right? Now I don't know if it's as true in other places, someplace where it's just cold permanently and some places just hot permanently. But I've never seen any difference where I live.
I just heard the funniest question yesterday. I'm going to shar

e it with you. I'm not going to tell you where it came from. But somebody mentioned to me that they were going to go to Florida for their first experience. They'd never been to Florida before. And going to Florida in August. Florida in August. And the person said to me, I hear it could be humid there. It could be humid. To which I said with a straight face, yes it can. Yeah it's true. And then th…
