. If Dilbert were a real person, what is the best advice for him to navigate a difficult work office environment? Let me tell you how I answer this question all the time. Never ever ask the cartoonist what his creation would do if he were real. Never ask that question. It's the only question I hate. Every other question might be a dumb question but I can enjoy it. But I hate that question. I will…

Why can't I see the archive on Dilbert? Only because I haven't yet found a home for it. So all the Dilbert comics used to be on dilbert.com but I'll work it out. I'm just kind of busy.
Am I influenced by stoicism? Not directly. I'm sure I have some habits in common but I don't feel that influence.
Am I going to run for president? No.
Do you have time on your hands due to being canceled? No, it's the opposite. When you get canceled you have to sort of rebuild everything. So I'm spending more time on the Locals platform and I'm actually busier.
How do you reframe to get your ego out of the way? Well I don't think that's a reframe challenge. I think that's a practice. And the way that you get your ego out of the way is embarrass yourself as much as possible intentionally. If you embarrass yourself over and over and your ego keeps complaining but then you wake up the next day and your bagel tastes the same, you're like why does that ego keep complaining but it never seems to matter? It's just like a complaining voice.
And the biggest reframe I would say — I guess there is a reframe — is to imagine that you are not your ego. When your ego comes in and says no don't embarrass yourself, that voice is not you. That's like a little satanic voice. Not actually Satan but it's like a malevolent voice. It's not you. Don't protect your ego. You should destroy your ego. Your ego is your enemy. So "ego is the enemy" is a reframe. If you think ego is who you are and that voice saying don't take that chance you might be embarrassed, that's not helping you. That's not on your side. That's like a demonic voice that's giving you terrible advice. Now I'm not recommending that you do dumb things that are embarrassing unless they're ones you know you can easily survive. So that's why the Dale Carnegie course was good. They put you in the ego-challenging situations until you realize that your ego isn't you and you never get hurt and then you just get used to it.
Is homeschool better than a great private school? Well I will quote Yogi Berra who says good pitching always beats good hitting and vice versa. You know what I mean? Like the best homeschool is better than almost all r

egular schools but the best public school is probably better than a lot of homeschools. So it's hard to compare the average. Of course the racist questions which I won't read. When will the next planned pandemic take place? I don't believe it was planned. Will the Dilbert on my shelf ever lose his mask? Forgot he had his mask. Yes he will as soon as I'm done today. Are all the globalist decisi…
