it depends who's doing it. It really depends who's doing it.

I do think Sacks has changed people's minds because he's credible and he's good at what he does and you know his arguments really strong. So if anybody could do it you know if it's doable there's a very small group of people who could make a difference but he might be one of them. He might actually be one of the most persuasive people in the public domain at the moment. And so I certainly welcome his viewpoint on this. It seems intended for nothing except making the country better. Like there's no way you know it's just a financial thing. It's not just a political thing. It looks like just a patriot trying to end a war and knowing that the government can't do it and he has to jump in. That's what it feels like to me.

It feels like people who think oh damn it I've got this Spider-Man problem. That's what it is. It's the Spider-Man problem. I think Elon's got the Spider-Man problem. I think David Sacks has the Spider-Man problem and I know I have the Spider-Man problem. You know the Spider-Man problem: with great power comes great responsibility.

So some people are promoting things and advocating things because they want to make some money or make a name for themselves or be right or you know a whole bunch of reasons for why people do things. But I can tell you I feel this deeply. I feel that having taken care of myself and the people close to me that I have just an embedded built-in almost genetic responsibility to take care of the wider tribe, you know the country.

So I think that's what drives a number of the people that I call the internet dads. You know they're not doing it for money that's for sure because it's not good for their incomes to be divisive even if they're trying to help it ends up being divisive.

Well here's an interesting stat. I don't know if it's true but have you heard that 30 to 50% of the population doesn't have an inner monologue? How many of you would say that of yourself you don't have an inner monologue like there's just a voice that's talking all the time? I want to see if it looks like 30 to 50% of you have that because I don't believe that. I think it's a smaller percentage. I think it's real but I think it's smaller than that.

Yeah my head is like it's like the Star Wars bar scene. It's like every damn thing happening in there. You know it's what Elon Musk says you wouldn't want to live in his head. I believe that. I think there's a lot going on in there and not everybody could survive that anyway.

So suppose it's true. 30, let's say there's some percentage. Let's take the low number. 30% of the population doesn't have an inner monologue. That's about the same number just observationally you know just my own opinion it seems like about the same number as people who can't tell a personal story.

I've noted this before. There's some people who can't tell a personal story. You'd say ah tell us about the time you succeeded at something or tell us a story about the most embarrassing moment you had or something like that and there are people who go yeah nothing really. I have nothing. And I think that's weird.

And then I've also noted a number of times that you know I've given a lot of funny speeches in public probably hundreds of them by this time and you notice that no matter what you say or how funny you are 30% of the audience will just look at you. And in my experience 30% of the public literally doesn't have a sense of humor. Like actually literally don't have one and they're faking it. They're literally faking it.

The way they fake it is first of all they avoid entertainment t
