ink they're making a rocket every other day. And the question I have is what do they need to put on those rockets? If the rockets are not actually going to the moon or Mars yet, why do we need that much capacity to put stuff in space? Is it just satellites? Do we have an unlimited demand for launching satellites? We might. I mean, that might be the whole thing. But that is one hell of a thing tha…
← Previous segment →cut back on the working, give myself a nice part-time job and live like a king with my harem who thinks I'm handsome.
But since I was not born handsome, I said to myself by looking in the mirror when I was about five years old, literally true story, you'd better get a really good job if you want to compete in this world because you're not going to do it on your looks. And so I did. And that, by the way, that's completely true. I honestly did look in the mirror at around the age of five and said, man, you better get a B game. Your A game isn't working at all. Doesn't look like it's going to kick in. You better start working on that B game. And so I did. Yeah, I am a planner. I do plan 45 years in advance. Literally, I plan 45 years in advance.
All right. There's a top cancer charity, I don't know which one, but they're apologizing for using the word cervix in their materials, and they say they should have used the more inclusive term front hole because it's not just women who have vaginas. It's everybody. Everybody can have one. So you got your front hole. So don't say cervix when you can say front hole.
Now you might say to yourself, my goodness, this top cancer charity, they sound to me like a bunch of back holes. That's right. They're a bunch of back holes. Yep. We'll just let that sink in.
Well, did you know that the tariff, the US tariff on Chinese electric vehicles is over 100%? It's over 100%. But correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Democrats tell us that tariffs are a terrible, terrible idea? And this is a Biden thing. Biden put a 100% tariff on electric cars from China. So can you Democrats make up your mind? Is it the dumbest, worst thing that's never worked once in the world, or is it just a Trump policy that makes perfect sense that you shouldn't destroy yourself economically just because China wants you to? Not a good enough reason.
So yeah, we have a 100% tariff to keep those electric vehicles from China out of our markets. I think we're going to have to do the same thing with robots, with AI and yeah, robots and AI basically and EVs. So I think that the markets that are most important to the United States, in every case, we're going to have to have 100% some kind of tariff because you can't really let China rule us in robots. Winning robots is existential. We have to win robots.
By the way, I'm going to give you a little lesson here on what makes a human a human. So I've told you this before, but I came into a better way to explain it. I've told you that I don't believe that art created by robots and AI will ever be a big thing. And the theory is, and this is just mine, I've never heard anybody else say this, that we recognize art as triggering to us, like it means something to us, not because the art is well done, but because a human made it and it looks like superior genetic quality and it's a mating signal. So even if you're not looking to mate, we're just born that way. And even if you're the wrong gender to be attracted to the artist, still works because we're all still we can't look away when we see somebody with talent. And talent is simply a marker for reproductive health, right?
So whether your talent is art or your talent is music or visual art or music or acting or anything. If you have that thing, people are attracted to it and they get a feeling when they look at your art because they're feeling you. You're feeling the artist when you look at the art. Even if you don't know who it is, you still feel the artist. And so my hypothesis is that AI art can never trigger us if we know it's AI. And probably we'll have some laws to say we'll know. So if you know it's AI, you're going to say, eh, yeah, the computer's good. So what?
I've not yet found any art made by AI, as impressive as it is, that I wanted to spend much time looking at. You know what I mean? It's really impressive and it does look better than humans can do and all that. No interest at all. You know, it has its utility. You know, maybe you do something to include in a post on social media or put it in your blog post or something. So it's useful, but it doesn't move you the way that human art can.
So now I'm going to make my point with this. Fast forward five years when robots

have full human movement and good batteries and AI and somebody says, I'm going to form a robot basketball league where my robots will play your robots and they'll play actual basketball. They'll dribble, they'll shoot, they'll foul, everything. Would you watch it? The answer is once. You might watch it once, but you will never be interested in robots playing basketball. Now imagine if the robots…
