th of them, they were both successful — because they saw that I'm an ordinary person and I did it. And I think just hanging around me and saying, okay, he's not really special. If he can write a book, I could probably write a book too. And so they wrote books and they both got published and they both got paid. So it was absolutely true. They said there's nothing that special about you, Scott. I can do that too. And then they actually did it. They literally just did it. They just did what I did and it worked.

Now, I'm positive that having that kind of association with somebody you think is special but then you find out how ordinary they are — I'm positive that that helps you succeed. I'm positive. Because how could you not think, well, maybe I can do it too. This person is looking pretty ordinary.

All right. Inflation might be coming down, according to Constance Hunter on a tweet. Apparently used car prices are falling fairly rapidly. I assume that has everything to do with the supply chain. And because there have been waves of layoffs, we expect that maybe salaries will not be increasing as much as before. Gas is starting to come down. So if we get automobiles — we're only talking used ones, but probably applies to new ones — if we can get automobiles, gas, and paychecks not increasing quickly, you'd be in much better shape.

But I think there's something bigger happening. In my opinion, one of the things that makes America at least so far unbeatable is that we have self-correcting systems that self-correct. I'm not sure that other systems are as flexible to let their systems self-heal. So let me give you an example. As I just said, inflation seems to be correcting. Like, that's just our economic system. Our transportation system for goods was broken, but that breaking revealed all of its weaknesses. And now I think it's being re-engineered from the ground up. Software, AI, all kinds of different things are happening. So our delivery systems are being re-engineered. Our manufacturing is being completely revamped. You know, we're moving it out of China. We're adding 3D printers and stuff. Completely the self-healing system.

And there's a lot of other stuff. Like Twitter is healing at the moment, wouldn't you say? I would say that our election systems are poor, but a lot of work has been done in the last few years to try to shore things up and get more witnesses and stuff like that. So I don't think our election system is where it needs to be, but it's definitely in the process of self-correcting. It's in the process. I think our nuclear energy industry is self-corrected. It went from a negative thing to probably the only thing that will save us. I see ESG got a little wild, but it looks like it's being pulled back. ESG is self-correcting. And probably there are a number of other things you could mention. Same kind of thing.

Now, what do you think of that hypothesis? Do you
