teboard, huh? That's right.

Well, let's start with this cool news. I saw Brian Reilly post on X about a portal. It's one of the coolest uses of technology I've seen. So if you imagine something that's bigger than a person, a big round circle, and the center of the circle is a screen, you know, a huge person-sized screen, and you could put it in any city, and a person could walk up to it and they will see the person in the other portal. So it's sort of a portal, you know, it's always up. And here's the cool thing: it has a translator built in.

So you can walk up to the portal in, let's say, Paris or wherever. I guess it's going to be in different places. You walk up to the portal in Paris, and then somebody on the street in China would see you standing there at the portal, and they would walk up. They would speak in Chinese, you would speak in French, and you would have a complete conversation in real time. Now that's insanely cool. I don't even know what to say about it. It just activates every hair in my body to stand up. Don't think about that too long. Yeah, it's just one of the coolest things.

I like to start the show with just something to imagine, and I ask you this: Couldn't this stop war? Did you ever wonder what would happen if these citizens got to vote on war and actually talk to each other directly? "Hey, do you guys want a war? Because I feel like we don't really want one over here, but our government is kind of pushing us toward it." And then the other people in whatever country would say, "You know, I'm glad you talked to me on the portal, because we're not too crazy about war either. How about we just fire our leaders and don't have a war?"

Yeah, it's actually a threat to power if people could talk to each other with translation.

Here's a question for you that I just thought of, so I don't know if it's a good one yet. Give me one second to think if this is a really dumb thing to say. No, I think it might make sense. Since we've had good communications in the world, so that would exclude, let's say, the Civil
