illion more men than they have women. 32 million extra men who don't have an option of having their own exclusive woman and a family. Now that was, of course, because of China's one-child policy for so many years, which is now a three-child policy because we're running out of people. 32 million is the entire population of Afghanistan. The entire population of Afghanistan is the same as the number…
← Previous segment →are a couple things that I have going on right now that might change the world. Don't know. One of them is my book *Reframe Your Brain*. It's not written just to have a good time on an airplane. It's written because once you understand this material, you'll be able to literally change how you think on demand in a wide variety of domains. Now if you could change how you think, you would change how you act. And you could easily imagine that it would help people see the world clearer in a more useful way and could change the world.
Now if it became a number one bestseller, it would absolutely change the world. There's no doubt about it. Because in the nonfiction world, let's take a book like *The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People*. It just sat on the bestseller list for decades. That totally changed how people acted, right? They read that book and they said, "Oh, this is a bunch of good tips. I better keep my skills sharp and stuff like that." So if you can be a number one book, you actually do change the world in the nonfiction domain. So there's some chance. Doesn't mean it'll happen, but I like my odds.
But what I have on the whiteboard is another one. I'm going to show you something on the whiteboard after a few more stories that could change the world. Actually literally. What are the odds? I don't know. Not 100%, but it's not 10%. It's probably a greater than 10% chance it will change everything. So that's what I think you should wait for.
All right. The X platform, which I'm phasing out of saying Twitter at the same time. Is everybody ready? If I said "meanwhile on X," you would all know what I mean at this point, right? So is it time to start phasing out that you used to call Twitter? You ready? Everybody ready for that? I think we're ready. Let's call it. Let's call it. Today's the day. Stop dead-naming X. Stop dead-naming it. No more dead-naming.

right. Well, on X the phrase ADL is trending. And I said to myself, what's all that about? So there are a lot of people who are calling the ADL — what does the A stand for? What's the A in ADL stand for? Anti-Defamation League. The Anti-Defamation League, which Republicans have caught on — I think they caught on a while ago — that it's basically a Democrat group and a way to attack Republicans and…
