take my coffee away from me, World Economic Forum. I'm going to fight for that. Well, you might be aware that Barstool Sports is going to be moving to some kind of a special deal with Rumble. And so Rumble stock was way up on the news the last two days. It's pulling back a little bit today, but that's expected because it was up over, I think it was up over 50 percent in two days. I'm a stockholde…

So right now I am live on the Rumble Studio on YouTube and Rumble and X so you can see how it works.

It turns out that there's a new graph. Paul Graham posted this on X. The women, young women, are getting more liberal. Young single women and young single men are getting more conservative. So where they used to be about the same, they're wildly different now. So what does that imply about the future of mating?

Well, it tells me that men will be hooking up with robots. And if you think I'm joking, nope, I'm not joking at all. If you're a guy who's let's say not in the top 10 percent of your height and good looks and income and health and all that other stuff, you're going to be competing with not only guys who are getting all the dates but you're also going to be competing for a shrinking pool of women who are like you. So if you're male you're more likely to be trending conservative. If you're female, more likely going the other direction.

So there'll be a shrinking pool of women that young men are willing to spend five minutes with. Forget about sex. They won't want to be in the same room. It'll just be too uncomfortable. And then a robot comes along and the robot is always friendly, always positive, never complains, never has a problem, never tries to sue you, never accuses you of crimes that you didn't do. None of it. You walk in the house and the robot will be like, hey how was work? You're like, well let me tell you about it. And it remembers you, makes insightful comments about your situation.

Yes, in all seriousness, we're one year away. There's no joke, no hyperbole, and I guarantee it that men, young men, will be forming relationships with robots because the competition from women is so low at the moment. It doesn't look like it's changing. And again I'm not saying there's anything wrong with women. If it sounds like that maybe I shouldn't have worded it the way I did. There's nothing wrong with women. It's just that, and nothing wrong with men. It's just that they're diverging in their preferences and there's only one way that they can end up. They're going to replace that thing that diverged from their preference. There's nothing else that can happen. It's obvious.

All right, so robots will replace women. They're also replacing bartenders. So now they have a,

this is weird, there's a robot named Adam who can make 65 to 70 drinks an hour and doesn't need bathroom breaks, blah blah blah. And I guess they're being rolled out in various places now. What's weird is I used to own a restaurant and a bar and our most popular bartender was named Adam. Isn't that weird? Because I was going to tell you a story about a bartender named Adam as part of talking abou…
