t's an open casket you're like, what are we going to do about that? Because I think the rigor mortis sets in about the same time as the erectile dysfunction. So you could die with a wall saluting and then they probably just have to make some adjustments. Now depending on your size I guess they'd make some adjustments to the casket top, make one a little extra deep sort of thing. I don't know. I'm…

So take the people who don't want to work or can't work because they don't have capabilities, put them in one place and try to get the people who still have something to add physically separated from them. Yeah, because at this point there is a poisonous mindset and there's still a productive mindset and they're living simultaneously.
I feel like when I grew up in America there was only one mindset. Is anybody in my age range that would concur with that? You know that whole image of the American dream that was pretty much a hundred percent. Like I don't think anybody disagreed with that. It wasn't even generationally. People agreed. I went through the hippie generation and it looked like the hippies were anti-work and anti-establishment. But really as soon as they wanted money they became pretty establishment. So that was more of a youth difference. But today we've got so many different opinions about everything that our operating system is dissolving.
I wasn't going to talk about this yet but well let me add this first. There's another study. Stanford researchers tried to figure out if AI could change your mind on politics better than a person could. So they did a trial where a person would write something to change your mind and then AI would write something to change your mind. And they found out that the AI beat the people. AI was more persuasive in its arguments than people. Not a lot, maybe like in the two percent range something like that. But as the article I read pointed out, on the big issues of the country two percent is a pretty big deal. I mean that could be the difference between passing and not passing or elected or not elected.
Now here's what I would add to that. As far as I know no one has ever trained AI in the techniques of persuasion. So far everything I've seen it looks like it writes the way a good writer would write but not with any of the deep techniques of persuasion. Just sort of ordinary communication good practices. What happens if AI learns hypnosis? So for example I ordered a deck of cards that each has a hypnosis trick on it. So it's like 50 or so cards. Each one has a specific trick. The AI could learn very easily. They're just use these words instead of these words. Very easy stuff.
If I trained it just with tha

t deck of cards, I wish I could. I forgot the name of the company or person that makes the cards. I want to give them a shout out because I bought the cards. Mike Mandel. Thank you Mike Mandel. He's a hypnotist and I just saw his cards advertised on the internet and I thought oh I'll get those, see what that's all about. So I got the Mike Mandel hypnosis cards and I was looking through them and su…
