showcase the quality of our weapons? That would keep China at bay because you know it's not like it's the first time. Remember how well it worked in Afghanistan, right? When we were in Afghanistan China was like whoa, whoa, they're winning so hard in Afghanistan we'd better leave Taiwan alone. Right? You remember when that happened? Oh that didn't happen, right? Yeah that didn't happen. And you re…
← Previous segment →nto it yesterday so I still have some questions. If I were to be on X can I live stream yet or do I have to just post a video on there after I'm done? Does anybody know the answer to that? So some saying yes. How? Because I was looking where do I live stream. I saw no user interface for that. Can you tell me where to find it on the app? No, Spaces doesn't count. If I were to do a live stream with video. Tucker did so but I know I've seen Elon testing the live feature but where is it? So you say I have that user interface option right now because I don't see anything named Periscope. Yeah. So I did Google it. I did Google it. I didn't find it. So if anybody knows if that's live for everybody and where to find it or is it a separate app? Is it a separate app? You pick the post and the picture. Yeah Spaces is audio only. All right well look into it. So I'm looking into that today. So I like the idea. Dr. Funun says yes and I believe you would know. Thank you. Yeah if it's not live then there's a little point in doing it. Well I don't know. People do watch recorded things. More people watch this recorded than live. Did you know that? Yeah my live stream is maybe 20% of the total traffic. Most of it's recorded traffic. Oh thank you. DJ Dr. Funk says you'll send me info on X and that's exactly what I think. Thank you. Appreciate that.
All right. People say they liked me on Roseanne. Let me give you an update on my book. There are still I think four fake versions of my book up there. But once people start using it to train AI I think it's going to do well. I have a claim to make that while there might be some books that at the moment are slightly higher rated in the category of transforming your life, which I like better than self-help. Self-help always bugged me because if you're reading a book on self-help it's the author that's helping you. You're not really self-helping. You're literally getting somebody else's help and then taking their advice. It doesn't seem like self-help. But anyway so I like personal transformation because it's definitely a personal transformation. You're just using some resources to get it done.
But in that domain I have the following claim. There is no book in the top 20 that would improve your life faster or more likely than mine because it's written for that, right? It's written to have exactly that impact. And if you look at the reviews it's obvious that it's working. That people are already 10 pages into the book and saying I found something that's like I'm going to totally change my life with. So my argument is that a book written by a hypnotist to take good ideas and make them actionable is different than a book about good ideas. Because a normal author writing a book with a bunch of good ideas, it doesn't matter how good they are because if you're not implementing them they just lay there. But mine are written so that you can't help yourself. If you see a reframe that works they're so short and easy to remember that it will just stick in your head and then you're done, right? A reframe works just because you thought of it and then you repeated it in your head because it was sticky.
So I've solved the part that most self-help books don't do which is to get you to actually do something. And the doing is because once the words are in your head the words change the structure of your brain literally and they make it more productive. And then the thing that you wanted to be more true for you becomes more true. And there's no specific effort to do it. It's just that you added some new code. It's like a software patch. So that's the easiest effort for the greatest personal transformation. And in my opinion there's nothing close. It's called Reframe Your Brain. I've never said anything like that with anything I've written before. This is actually special and people are seeing it right away.
All right. So that's all for this amazing live stream. Is there any topic that I should have mentioned that I did? I feel like I must have left something out. The perfect airplane book. It is. It's the perfect airplane book. I do write it with that in mind actually. Now we don't have any updates nor will we. All right. Perfect for young people. Did we reach our hour? I got six more minutes to spend with you if you want to ask me a question because I try to get the live streams to an hour. There's some magic to that on YouTube.
I didn't mention Rob Reiner so that largely pretty much handles most of the important news. What about we talked about Vivek on Bill Maher show. How will Trump fix Ukraine? Through threats I believe. Through threats and also being realistic about American interests. Do you have a Rogan appearance yet? No you know I'm not really, I don't think I'm exactly a Joe Rogan guest material. You know I've done it once and that's probably all I needed. You know just 'cause I have a book that doesn't mean I get to be a guest. You're seeing dreams with a theme really.
All right. So I was also thinking of using the 200 or so micro lessons that I have on the Locals platform. So if you didn't know I make these little two to four minute videos to teach you a life skill. Each one teaches you like a real useful thing. There are over 200 of them that are available just for subscribers. Now suppose I took 200 of those micro lessons and made them available to train an AI in addition to my books. Wouldn't you want your AI to have read How to Fail Almost Everything and Still Win Big and Reframe Your Brain? Because they're generally considered the two most useful advice. That's the AI I'd want my kid to see. Of course I'm too close to it. But if there's anybody thinks that anybody would benefit from that set of messages there's now a way to do it. Just stick it in an AI and anybody can have it.
Will the US defend Taiwan? Here's the only right answer. You ready? There's one right answer. Do you know what it is? Probably. Probably right because Trump will tell you you can't be p

redictable. Can't be predictable. So we should probably say yes because that's the scariest but you don't have to do what you say. You just have to make yourself look scary and unpredictable. I saw a suggestion that I should go on the podcast Trigonometry. That's already scheduled so I will be on Trigonometry. Trigonometry, one of the best podcasts by the way. I was very happy about that. And I'm…
