ic Bell when I was very young, part of the test was a distraction test. Have you ever heard of this? I think it was common in the Bell system at some time. They would literally give you a test and then they would distract you every minute or something, and the entire thing was to see if you could do ordinary tasks in the context of being distracted every few seconds. And if you couldn't do it, the…

You know, I try to play the drums, but if I watch a good drummer on YouTube, my drumming instantly gets better just from the exposure. It doesn't last, but I can pick up like a little extra funk or something just immediately.
So I believe that people might learn their sense of time from exposure to other people. Here's another example. This is my favorite one. I use this example a lot. The way you train a herding dog like a sheep dog to herd the sheep is you just introduce a new dog. That's it. That's the training. The new dog just watches the trained dog, and in a really short time, a few days, the new dog becomes a sheep dog just from exposure to, "Oh, you do that? I'll do that. Looks like you're having fun. I'll have fun."
Secondly, I also observe that people with time blindness do not get a dopamine hit from being on time, but I do. I get a dopamine hit from doing boring things efficiently. People who have time blindness will tell you, "If I'm doing a boring thing, my brain just checks out. I can't concentrate on a boring thing." But I say, "How do you ever have a boring thing? How do you ever have a boring thing? I never have a boring thing. I have challenges." So if something's boring, I say, "How's the fastest way I can make this finish in a way nobody's ever done it so fast?" And then it's a challenge and then it's interesting. And if I can do that thing that takes an hour and 45 minutes, the next day I say, "I'll bet I could do it in 44 minutes." So I never — I'm never bored. I'm always creating a challenge.
Now these are habits. Could you install these habits or something like them? I don't think I've necessarily hit the answer yet. I just believe that the missing piece of circuitry is something that's completely fixable because brains are programmable. And that little free-floating thing that doesn't connect your sense of time to what you're doing at the moment, I could connect those. I could connect those. And I'll bet any hypnotist could. Any really good hypnotist. I don't think you can do it with a therapist necessarily. I don't think you can do it with a pill necessarily. I do think a hypnotist could do it with some people over time. It might take a little experimenting. So I just put that out there that I think we have a complete wrong understanding of time blindness and what to do about it.
The Tate brothers won their appeal. So the appeal allows them to travel. I guess they still have legal peril, but at the moment as long as they're free they can now travel in Europe. Now I ask you, why couldn't they travel in Europe before? What changed between the time they had to be in jail to the time they were allowed to be out but in Romania to the time now that they could travel? Obviously being flight risks. Is this sort of the cat's on the roof? Is this the first step toward an admission that the charges were complete bullshit? Because you know I'm no fan of Andrew Tate just for personal reasons, not because of what he says. I actually like what he says. I like his act. I don't like him personally as a human being. That's just personal interactions with him. But everything about the legal peril that they're in just screamed not real. It just screamed like somebody was out to get them and they were lawfare-ing him in Romania, the worst possible thing that could happen to you. So keep an eye on that.
Yes, if I had to predict, I'm going to predict that they don't go to jail and that we someday learn the charges were complete bullshit and that they came from another country. In other words, I'll bet Romania was doing a favor to some other country for some other reason. Somebody didn't like them. That's what I think because there are just too many people who have a certain kind of view who have bad luck. Have you noticed that? Alex Jones. Well, you know that's a special case because of the thing he said. And you know, kind of bad luck. And then Andrew Tate as well. You know, yeah, you have to understand he probably did some bad things in addition to the things he was saying, so the bad things catch up with you maybe. And this cartoonist got cancelled for what he said. But you know, yo

u have to understand it's what he said. It's a special case. There certainly are a lot of special cases, aren't there? Have you noticed how many special cases there are that all seem to go in one direction? Because I don't see a lot of special cases on the left. Just a lot of special cases on the right. So watch out for the special cases. They may not be as special as you think. Tucker Carlson go…
