part. It's the math. Are you ready for this? This will be the funniest thing you've heard today. If you... has everybody heard this story yet? It's going to be the funniest thing you hear today. You ready? California has about 6.5% Black residents. Suppose half of them can prove that they're descended from slaves. So you'd have, you know, 3.25%. But there are 72% White citizens in California. How many of the White citizens will show up having DNA that connects back to slavery as in they have a relative who was descended from slaves? And the answer is it doesn't have to be a very large percentage because it's being that percentage would be against the 72% of citizens who are White. So there is a very good possibility, not yet confirmed, that there will be more White people in California who would get reparations for slavery legitimately, legitimately because they would actually be descended from slaves, that there would be numerically more of them than the number of Black citizens who could also prove that they were descended from slaves.

So is that perfect or is that perfect? Does it seem like I'm totally in control of the simulation at this point? Does it look to you like reality is starting to conform to what I would have written as a joke? It's a little too on the nose, isn't it? I think it's reality. I think, I mean I've lost all sense of reality but I think it's real. But what could be more perfect than that?

Now this is the beauty of the go-study-it. I can tell you as a person whose job it was in corporate America to go study stuff, that was what I did. It's like, "Hey we don't know if we want to do this financial thing. Go study it. We don't know if we want to replace this network equipment. Go study it." As soon as you go study stuff you get a lot of surprises and this is one of them. Now I would not have predicted this specific surprise but I would have predicted surprises. Meaning that as soon as you started studying it, it doesn't look like what you think it is.

So here's the other surprise. If they did a legitimate calculation they would have to net it out because you would have to net out other things that were advantages to Black Americans. You'd have to compare it to the people who were not slaves who stayed in Africa. If you did an actual analysis of what is, I'm not even sure which way it would go. You might find that descendants of slaves owe money to White Americans if you actually did the math. Now if you did it correctly. Now I don't think there's any intention to do it correctly but if you did it correctly it might be opposite of what you think. Don't know.

Well, Mark Zuckerberg is not going to be legally responsible for kids being hooked on Instagram. I guess there are 25 cases along those lines and it's all dismissed because it's not a standard that America accepts that the CEO is going to be personally responsible for that sort of thing. So it's more like it was dismissed not because the kids did not get addicted. So that wasn't the question.

All right, I got to see what this little image says. Okay. So anyway that's happening.

All right, here's another funny story. So where was this? An Axios I think. That there's an insect Armageddon coming from climate change. So the research surveyed, so this is a climate change alarm story. Now I want you to see if you think that the alarm is changing nature. Here's what we used to worry about. Climate change is going to drown us all. Now that's pretty scary. Climate change is already killing the polar bears. Well I don't know if that'll affect me directly but they're big old mammals and it bothers me when mammals are dying so that's scary. The hurricanes are going to kill us all from the climate change but turns out the hurricanes aren't any worse than they were. And we won't be able to grow food but doesn't seem to be a problem yet. So they're looking for new problems to scare us.

And researchers at the University of Colorado Boulder, they studied 12 ant species and they found that the ants in Gregory Canyon, some of them have moved on to other environments because they say it was too warm, probably climate change. So we went from you're all going to drown and your food supply be fried and the polar bears are already dying and you're next to we're now concerned that some subspecies of ants will relocate. Oh no. Oh no. I wasn't worried about climate change until you told me that some of these several species of ants might relocate. No, no. Not relocating ants. No.

The climate narrative has completely collapsed. Now I don't know if everybody knows it yet but I'm telling you it completely collapsed and it was the pandemic that did it. You know I've said it before but I'll keep reminding you. The public argument, in other words the part that the public understood, was that all the climate scientists were on the same side. That's all we had because we don't do the science and I can't check the science. I don't know how to check the science. So it's all we had. And now we know that that's ridiculous and was never a real reason and that the experts can absolutely all be on the same side very easily as long as that's where the money is.

On my Locals community where you have to be a subscriber to see the good stuff, I did a what I call a micro lesson. I've got over 200 micro lessons, two minutes. I teach you something or reframe that you didn't know. So they're all designed to make your life better. Like just watch it for two minutes and then you go, "Oh I got a new life skill." So one of the life skills is how to explain to somebody why those climate models are BS.

Now if you look at a climate model, if you visualize it, you know there are dozens if not hundreds of climate models and you know that they like to draw it in sort of a wide band. There's like, well all the models conform to sort of this band and they all seem to be hockey sticking up and there's so many models that are in the same ra
