rus I said nope that did not happen. And evolution as well. Right about that.

So here's my summary of that. It's way easy to know what isn't true. So it looks like I'm doing better than I am at predicting. If you ask me to predict what would happen that's really hard. But predicting what is not real, you know that the news says is real, it's actually somewhat easy. Yeah it's just too on the nose. It's always the same. It's always the same. It's just too on the nose. You could spot it right away.

And by the way how many of you are happy that you learned the too on the nose trick? How many have just automatically, you know you can spot the fake news now just right away. Wait, oh that's in the news. Yeah it's like isn't it like a magic sense? It's almost like you got a sixth sense. As soon as you can see the too on the nose stuff you spot the fake news like you have magic or something. Yeah it's a really powerful technique.

Scott, predictions are all ego based to appear smarter than you. Hmm. Is there something you do that isn't ego based? Like what? Because that was a real smart comment. That the predictions are ego based. Well what would be, I'm just curiosity, what would be something that a human does that's not ego based? What would that be? Yeah, yeah it's a dumb comment. It's a dumb comment a hundred percent. What you do is for your selfish or maybe your family or something but that's selfish too. It's all for ego. Every bit of it. Predictions aren't the one thing I do for ego. Everything I do is for ego because everything I do has something to do with making me more effective or useful in the world because it makes me feel good. It's all ego.

Getting rid of your ego feels really good by the way if you can ever do it. It gives you a feeling of euphoria but it doesn't last long. That's why the psychedelics are good. They remove your ego temporarily and the reason it's euphoric is that it's such a relief because we're walking around just managing our egos all day. It's hard but you're very lost if you think that there are some situations in which ego counts and then the others don't. That's not the reality.

All right. I had offered that I would start up a Spaces on Twitter so if somebody wanted to ask me questions they can. So I've got it all fired up here. Does anybody want to go to Spaces? And you can stay here and listen to it or you can listen to it on Spaces but I'm gonna hit start now. Yeah we'll see if anybody comes in.

All right everybody. I don't know if anybody's here yet but this will be your opportunity to ask me any question. So raise your hand if you want to be a person who asked me a question. It could be any topic. I don't care what it is. Oh look all my friends are signing up there. All right. Is anybody, raise your hand if you want to ask me a question. Could be on anything. It's a slow news day so we're just sort of looking at a reason to talk about something and enjoy your coffee if you're sitting there with your coffee and your dog on your lap. Well you're doing it right because that's the vibe this weekend. Dog on lap.

All right. I've got one request here that as a speaker. Very curious. In a moment you will be a speaker. Hey Curious are you there? Thanks for accepting my speaker request. Pleasure. What's your question? Day Brothers go ahead.

What do you think is happening with the Tate now? Do you think that he will be released at any time or do you think he's definitely going to prison and it's just kind of over for him?

Well, Romania is sort of a big black box. I don't think any of us know what that situation is. So this is the perfect example that I always say that the news about public figures is never true. It's just never true. Now I base that on knowing lots of public figures and also being in the news hundreds if not thousands of times myself. And I can see the stories about myself and I know if they're true or not. And then often there are people I know personally so I can find out the real story behind the scenes and this never matches. It just never matches and not even close. You usually, there's at least one fact that changes everything and the public isn't aware of that fact.

So with the Tate brothers I would summarize it this way. Is Romania, so I'd be amazed if everything that's happening is by the book and non-corrupt. I just assume there's some corruption. I don't know how it plays into the story but one assumes it's part of the story. Then the other question is is there somebody outside of Romania who is the puppet master trying to get Romania to clamp down on these guys? I think the odds of that are good. I don't have proof of that but it seems like something that could happen in our world.

Then that but the other wild card is their capabilities. The reason that you talk about them at all is they're hyper capable. They're just really really capable at a wide range of things. You know social media, making money, maybe some sketchy activities but they made them all work. Yeah almost everything they did worked. So assuming that they still have access to lots of funds, do you think they can bribe their way out in time? And so you might have a situation where you have the most probably two of the most capable people in terms of persuasion, money, social media. And if they can't get out of this nobody could.

So there's a little bit of a Houdini show going on which is two people in the situation that no normal person could get out of but they're not normal people. They are the two people who would have the best chance of getting out of a tight spot. You know especially if it's complicated and you know there's lots of levels to it and you got to be a chess player but they are. That's exactly what they are. They are chess players. So I'm fascinated at the competition if you will that the entire legal system of Romania versus the Tate brothers. Tate brothers is actually a fair fight and I don't know which way it'll go. It honestly could go either way. They could be completely free and vindicated possibly or the Romanians will get their licks in.

All right. Does that answer your question? I think you're, yeah thank you thank you very much. I just wanted to know your take on it but I'll let somebody else ask some questions now. Thank you Scott.

All right thanks. All right let's see. Javi. Is it J J A V I? Is that Harvey or Javi? Maybe you'll tell me. Javi are you there? Yes. How do you pronounce your name? It's Javi. Javi. Okay Javi what is your question?

Which is your favorite conspiracy theory that actually turned out to be true?

Well the one I guess that's closest to me which is that Twitter was in fact thumb on the scale in a variety of ways that we still haven't figured out. So it always felt like it was true and then to find that it was true was pretty good. The idea that the Democrats were behind the Russia collusion. It took me a while to realize that that didn't happen sort of organically. You know that there was actually just a plot. It was exactly what you thought it was. So I think Musk accurately said that it seems like all of our conspiracy theories are coming out to be true.

Oh and on, you believe everything? No my ex-wife did not hook up with Andrew Tate. I don't know if you know this but Andrew Tate is not reliable in terms of the truth.

All right. Did I answer your question? I think you muted so I'm going to say yes. Yes thank you.

All right thanks. All right let's try somebody else here. Robert. All right Robert let's see if you're ready to get on here and ask me a question. Robert. Hello Robert. Robert there's a little delay with the interface so it just it's trying to connect but there he is. No not yet. It's weird it's cooking like it can't connect so it's not Robert's fault. His technology is not working. All right well that's where it is. Still not working. I might have to undo that one and try somebody else. Oh Ed is a speaker. All right we're having a user interface glitch. I can't add this speaker and I can't subtract them but what happens if I try to add somebody else? All right I'm going to try to add somebody else. Chris you may have successfully been added. If you unmute your microphone Chris you can ask me a question. Hey Chris.

Okay I will. I will say there's like a five second delay in these Spaces from the
