s Debris" is canceled. If you were on the Locals platform, you could read it for free because it's available there for free, the ebook part. Yeah, I think "God's Debris" is canceled at the moment. You could get a used one. But just remember, if you read it, remember Elon Musk's tweet about X being the common consciousness, and then it will blow your mind when you read "God's Debris." Speaking of…

actually feel the change. Some people are wearing out their highlighter. So it's not like a regular book. It's a book you're going to want to highlight, keep around, show to people, refer back to. So the physical book, I actually recommend... normally I'd say get the Kindle because who needs a book on their shelf? But if you want this book, I'd wait for the soft cover. I wouldn't wait for the hardcover. Soft cover will come before the hardcover in my case.

All right. So that's... you know, I gotta say, it's just like inside baseball author thing. When you spend two years working on a book, which I did, and it kind of ruins two years of your life... normally it's a year, but it was a busy year so it took me a little longer. But if you put a year of your life into basically removing all of your entertainment time so that you basically are just working for a year, you want that book to do well, right? So you want it to do well in the rankings and make money and all that stuff. But I got to tell you that there's a thing that's even better than that.

That's because I wrote it to be useful. I didn't write it to be entertaining. I don't know if you thought I did. It's not. It's not meant to be entertaining per se. You know, it should be entertaining too, but it should change lives. And people are saying this. So there you go. There you go. More about that later.

I saw a funny tweet by Oregon MJ, and she's a woman, and she says, "My favorite thing about men is how they're completely incapable of responding to multiple questions over text. Whatever you asked last is the only thing they'll acknowledge." Does anybody have that experience? Ladies, do you have an experience that men will only answer one of the questions you ask? I had to go public, and I know men, don't be mad at me. Men, don't be mad. I know I violated the secret oath of men by telling women one of our secrets, but I thought I had to make an exception this time. So I retweeted and

I commented, we're trying to train you to ask one question. How many men said, my God, that's exactly what I'm doing? Come on. How many of you admit it? How many of the men say, okay, you got me. That's exactly what I'm doing. I'm trying to train her to ask one question. Yeah, I've done that. Oh yeah, I've intentionally ignored questions to try to train them. All right. The exception would be bus…
