t makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Yes, I did get a haircut. Thanks for mentioning it. Do I look more like my mug now? Yeah, look at that. Identical. You cannot tell the difference between me and the picture on my coffee mug. Which one's me? You can't tell. You can't tell. Well, today is just the weirdest, weirdest, wonderful day. There is bad n…
← Previous segment →true is changing in such a fundamental way in just the last few years. But it seems to have accelerated, and even today I would say has reached some kind of peak. So far. It's going to keep going.
But here are the stories of the day. Did I see that Sam Bankman-Fried, the crypto alleged scammer guy, is back in prison? And is it true, because I saw this and I need a confirmation, did he really get put in the same jail that Epstein died in? Does that really happen in the real world? That actually happened. Can somebody confirm that? Can you confirm it's the same place that Epstein — I mean, not the same cell, but all right. I'm not seeing a confirmation of that, but I saw it on social media, so I don't know. I thought you'd be confirming that by now, but you're not. So let's put a question mark on that.
So Stephen King, famous writer and lefty political person, Stephen King, he asked this question, and I thought it was worthy of me answering it on Twitter. He said on Twitter, so here's a question: if you consider yourself a loyal American, how can you possibly support a man who fomented insurrection in the United States Capitol? That was that a good question? Well, it's a good question if you live in a certain bubble of reality.
So I thought, hey, who better to clear up this situation than me? So I answered him, and I said he was talking about January 6th, and I said it's an absurd narrative. Half the country believes that's why you were so confused. You have literally been brainwashed by your team. And then parenthetically I said, I'm a trained hypnotist, by the way, so I'm speaking as an expert. And then I said, find out how many times you've had the same experience with this quiz. And then I attached to his tweet the 20 or so — I don't know what it's up to, 20 or so — major political hoaxes that everybody on the left believed.
Now, what do you think happened if he saw my tweet? Now, I attached 20 examples that are just like this one. 20. They're just like this. They're things that didn't happen, but his news told them they did. Now, he hasn't responded, so at least I haven't seen it. I don't expect him to respond. But are you curious what somebody's brain would do? Aren't you?
He did not block me. I don't think he blocked me. But are you curious what would happen to his brain if he saw it? So just walk yourself through this. So suppose he sees that. The tweet comes from me. Now, presumably he would know what Dilbert is and who the Dilbert guy is. Do you think that's a fair assumption that he would recognize my name? What do you think? Probably. Probably. You know, most writers know other writers, etc. So he would probably be aware. And then he might check to see how many followers I have as sort of a, you know, indication of weight. So you see I have a million followers, and he would see that my interpretation is very different from his, and that my interpretation does answer the question. That doesn't make it right. It's just that, you know, the answer I gave fits the variables in question, right? There's nothing that's not explained by it.
But what would he do? What do you think a normal human brain would do when presented with an opposite reality that actually makes sense? Now, it's doubly inter

esting because he's a fiction writer of, you know, great renown. If you're a fiction writer, isn't it a little bit easier to move from one reality to another if you're given the opportunity? I think that people who write fiction can move realities a little bit easier than other people, because they're used to sort of living in a fake reality while they write it, you know. So it's just a capability…
