that we've reached peak absurdity. Wall Street Journal had a little piece yesterday noting—this was an opinion piece—but that the ESG bubble is deflating. Now do you think somebody could print in the Wall Street Journal without any correction that the ESG bubble is deflating? Now I'd say that's right on schedule. What did I promise you about ESG? Do you remember what I promised? I said I would destroy its reputation before the end of this year. And now the Wall Street Journal is publishing that the ESG bubble is deflating. There's another article that I tweeted around where somebody noted all of my ESG comics in Dilbert and said you're in bad shape if Dilbert is mocking your thing. Noted BlackRock.

So if you look at my Twitter feed I've got a link to all of the ESG-related comics. And if you like, they're all licensable. You know there's a link on there for buying it or licensing it if you want to use it for your own purposes. If you use it for your own purposes without legally licensing it just make sure you're an individual not a corporate entity, right? If you're just doing it with your friends that's fine. Yeah I don't care about copyright if you're forwarding to your friends or tweeting it. You know if you're just an individual. But don't do it in a corporate way that would require a license. Don't do it under corporate entity. So that is my gift to you. I hope it helps.

All right, here are the things that seem the most absurd. So ESG seems to be deflating. So I think ESG has reached peak absurdity. True or false? Has ESG apparently reached peak absurdity? I say yes because people now can out loud criticize it, right?

How about trans athletes? So there's a story in North Carolina—north or south—about a trans athlete, a volleyball player, who is apparently so powerful that people are being injured. Where the hell is that? Now there it is. A North Carolina school district voted last month to forfeit all high school volleyball games against a rival school because the rival school has a transgender athlete on the female team who apparently is really talented relative to the other players and a little bit stronger than maybe they expected. So they're apparently—the trans athlete spiked the ball so hard into the face of an opponent that the opponent had some injuries which could be kind of bad. I mean the head and neck, that could be pretty bad.

Does it say about it is but I think this is the way this will be settled. I think that trans athletes will be allowed to join teams. That's the current situation for the most part. But that the teams who would be scheduled to play against them will just forfeit. And I think that that's how this will be handled. Now what would happen if every time somebody joined your team you didn't have anybody to play? Because the teams that cancel, they canceled for safety. And if you cancel for safety nobody can touch you. Nobody can touch you. The schools that canceled for safety are completely safe because they did it for a specific reason. It was based on evidence. It was an evidence-based decision. So I think that's the way it's going to go.

I think that the freedom of the trans athletes—and by the way if you're new to me I've always supported the trans athletes because I think that the athletic world needs to be reconfigured for a variety of reasons, not just for the trans. Sporting is an elite, highly harmful process for some people. Meaning that the superstars who were born with genetic gifts we treat as heroes and they get all the girls and the boys and everything else. And the people who are not athletic don't get any benefits from athletic organizations. And probably only the top maybe 10 percent are good enough athletes to be on a team and get all the goodness. Now if you're good enough to be on a team and actually play as opposed to sitting on the bench it's amazing. I'm very in favor of organized sports.

See this is where I always see this NPC comment that Scott is not athletic and therefore he does not understand athleticism. I've played every sport you could imagine when I was a kid. I was playing—I would play five sports a day literally. Five different organized sports a day and that was just normal. You know you do one at lunch, one at recess, one after school. You know one with—you'd play catch with your brother, you'd have a pickup game. You'd have five sports a day. You do every one, right? And that was sort of not even that untypical when I grew up. I feel as if you might be young if you're imagining that I was non-athletic. Because when I grew up there weren't any—well I won't say any—90 percent of boys were athletic and played all the sports typically. But
