're doing affirmations. I don't know why. It could be because reality is subjective. It could be that you literally just imagine a different path in your reality that is no more or less real than the one you were on before. So maybe it's just that. Maybe all possibilities exist in a steady state like every path exists and the only thing that's moving is your consciousness weaving through the various four-dimensional realities. Maybe. I always think of consciousness like the control point in a program. If you're executing a computer program it doesn't all execute at once right? It executes a certain logical sequence. But I always think that that point of execution, if the computer program could have feelings like "Oh I'm now at this point," it would have consciousness. All you'd have to do is tell the program it has a feeling associated with the specific place that it's executing and if it felt different in different parts of that execution it would be conscious.

All right, Tucker Carlson is reportedly creating a new media company and trying to raise hundreds of millions of dollars and he would run that media company on Twitter. So Twitter is beefing up its video services and now allows long form for some bigger accounts I guess. And Tucker is looking to build his media company that would run on Twitter and the reason he would run it on Twitter instead of YouTube is censorship. So one of the things that Elon Musk has created is a safe place for creators which is also paying them. And I also wonder if my incentives will change. I feel like they will. I feel like they will because I spent much of yesterday, you know I couldn't even get out of my head thinking about the worst thing I could tweet that would get the most engagement because now that's monetized. And I have to talk myself out of it all morning long. I've been talking myself out of it. Yeah I'm coming back with my full cup of coffee to start the show and I'm thinking of a tweet. I think I'm going to say that Taylor Lorenz is the hottest woman on Twitter just because I don't get a lot of engagement. I barely know what she looks like. I just know people are really mad at her right now. That's all it would take. But I didn't do it. I didn't do it because it's not creative. You know if you do creative things for a living you have these sort of standards that develop accidentally where you go, "Ah that's not creative enough." So if I were to immediately go out and just do troll bait tweets I would not feel good about myself even if I made money because it would be so uncreative to do that.

However I don't know if you noticed that Mr. Beast who is an enormous social media presence, if you're not aware of him, Mr. Beast on YouTube and Twitter, just one of the biggest accounts of all time. He's just legendarily gigantic social media presence. And he said that he would give the money from his engagement this month to whoever had the most engagement on the comments to his tweet. So all the people jumped in with trying to compete for it because if you got one month of Mr. Beast's Twitter money I don't know what that would be but it's a big number. And he makes so many millions a year that he could give away a million dollars. It wouldn't even touch him. So I thought damn it I think I can compete for this. My competitive juices were just automatically triggered because it's a contest. And Mr. Beast has 22 million followers. 22 million. 22 million followers. That's a lot anyway. I decided to enter the contest meaning I made a comment that I hope to get a lot of tweets and I got absolutely smoked by Bill Pulte. Bill Pulte just comes in and says he'll donate the money and I'm like oh I can't beat that. Come on Bill. So I think his engagement was something like 50 times mine. All I did was post my Dilbert Reborn comic today about the outcome of the cage match between Dilbert's CEO and another CEO. I won't say it on YouTube but let's just say it definitely wouldn't run in a newspaper so you'd have to look at it yourself if you want to see it. I took it outside the paywall just to compete. Normally you wouldn't be able to see Dilbert Reborns beyond the paywall but if you go to the Mr. Beast tweet you can find it there. Possibly the funniest thing I've ever written. I actually think that's true that the comic I put under Mr. Beast's tweet, it might be the funniest thing I've ever written. It's just me so your mileage will differ.

So Tucker Carlson starting this company, it looks like they might get some other hosts. Who do you think Tucker is going to recruit? If Tucker Carlson starts his own thing with other hosts who would he recruit? Because the problem is everybody who is notable already has a pretty good job right? The people working at Fox News, could they really imagine that they would get a bigger paycheck doing this? I don't know. And other names I hear you say they already have their own thing. Glenn Greenwald already has his own thing. Dan Bongino his own thing. Megyn Kelly her own thing. So there actually aren't that many people who are big name voices in the political realm who are also looking for a job because one of the things that makes you that prominent is that you have a platform that's already working. So it's gonna be tough. It's going t
