's an evolutionary reason. So the idea is if the parasite that wants to be in cats gets into something else like a mouse, the mouse will actually be attracted to cat urine so that the mouse will more likely do dangerous cat-related things and then get eaten. And then when the cat eats the mouse, then the parasite gets back in the cat where it wanted to be. So apparently the parasite can infect anybody, but once it affects anybody, one of the behaviors is it makes you recklessly get near cats. So it might be doing that to the wolves. It might be making the wolves say, "Well I won't necessarily stay in my own territory. I'll branch out and become a leader in this cat-related territory over here," which makes it more likely that they'll be killed by a cat or some cat-related exposure.

So here's the question. Do you think there's any chance that humans have — not necessarily this particular microbe, but do you think there are any microbes that are making humans act the way we act? And that it's even passed down by mother to child? Because I think this one actually can be passed by birth. Yeah, it's entirely possible. And we didn't know about this one that had a huge impact on the wolf community until recently. So don't you think we might be basically empty puppets that are being run by some weird microbes? Could be. Could be just part of our operating system.

Because you notice that some people are — well let me speculate. Let's just speculate. Do you suppose there could be one that causes mass shootings? Now I don't think that's what's causing it. I think it's social influence and access to weapons of course. But it could be, because when somebody becomes a mass shooter it just doesn't seem to make any sense to us, does it? It's almost like they got some microbe that took over their body. So I'm just going to put that out there. That I will make a prediction. I predict that in your lifetime we will discover that there's some different microbe that affects human behavior substantially. What do you think? Will anybody want to take the other side of that bet? We're going to find a microbe that's influencing our behavior in a major way. We just don't know yet.

All right. Here's a big question for you. I saw this on a tweet by a user named Camille. Okay, K-A-M-I-L. You would pronounce that Camille. Camille, I think. Bill. He tweeted that it looked like he was asking AI, ChatGPT, some questions about transgenderism and body dysmorphia. And he convinced the AI — and given we know that the way you ask the question can make a big difference to the answer — he asked the question in a way that got the AI to say that teaching transgenderism to kids causes body dysmorphia or dysphoria, body dysphoria.

Now I'm not saying that's true. I'm saying that somebody asked AI and they got the AI to say, "Yes, that makes total sense." And the AI even explained its thinking. If children are told that gender is not sex-related and that they can choose their gender because it's not something hard-coded at birth, then they're more likely to do it. So if they're more likely to wonder about their sexual identity because they're taught that they can, that that's an ordinary thing — and the benefit to somebody who has, let's put it this way, if you had body dysphoria already, being taught that transgenderism is a thing, I imagine that'd be really good for you. Would you agree? If you had this body dysphoria, wouldn't you be a lot happier to learn in school that it's like a legitimate thing and you have a couple of paths you could take and all that?

But imagine if
