s to the critics involved and to Francis Ford Coppola and 'Megalopolis' for this inexcusable error in our vetting process. We screwed up. We are sorry." Almost perfect. Almost perfect. I will accept it as completely sincere-sounding, and they didn't look to blame anybody, did they? It would have been really easy to blame somebody. Nope. Lionsgate said, "Our mistake. We apologize." But there's one…

e video? What it would be like me giving a commercial for a product, which I would never do because people would skip it. Now, would YouTube be able to pick out that this is not a sponsored product but rather my own product? And would the AI make a distinction? So when I say I've got a new book, and the main reason I do social media is so people could know if I have a new product, if I tell people about my new product, are they going to introduce a button so you can skip it? I don't know. Is the AI smart enough to know that this is my product and that's very different than a sponsored advertisement? I don't know. We shall see.

But the effect of that would be to actually destroy a huge bunch of people whose entire money comes from doing sponsored commercials on YouTube. It won't destroy it right away because people won't know the button's there and maybe the feature doesn't work perfectly and blah blah blah. And also you could always fast-forward a video. You always had that ability. But it might allow me to watch Joe Rogan stuff if it were on YouTube. I can't watch as much as I want. The Joe Rogan show is amazing. I can't get past the ads. I just, my life is too short. I don't have time for listening to a bunch of ads.

Anyway, here's something interesting. I saw a post from a user on X called Victorio who said, "In a few years people will not be able to function in society without a brain-computer interface." So that's sort of like the Neuralink chip in your head. And Elon Musk commented at some point having a Neuralink will be normal. And separately, Musk is predicting that in several years there could be tens of millions of humans who have a chip in their head, and that would be approaching normal. Do you think that's going to be normal? Do you think that in your lifetime all children will have a chip in their head? I think he's right. I think he's right. And the reason is that AI is too powerful to be separate from humans. In other words, humans are going to have to absorb the power of AI into themselves, and it might be the chip that allows them to do it. I don't know if there's any plan to do that specifically, but you could imagine all kinds of things that you'd want to do better and be competitive in an AI world. You just might need a chip. You might not even be able to hold a job unless you've got a good chip in you. Yeah, you could easily imagine in the future an employer saying, "We're only looking for people who have been chipped because when we give our new announcements and memos and stuff, we don't want to send it by email. We're just going to send it directly to the employees in their heads." Now, I don't know if that will ever be possible with a Neuralink, by the way. I don't know if it can. I don't even know if it's two-way in that way or it could be or what. But yeah, I think Musk is right. It is inevitable that humans will have computer chip interfaces in their head. I don't think there's any way around that.

Tucker Carlson has been, I don't know, do we say red-pilled anymore, about the chronic disease epidemic in America? Now, RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan have been, in my opinion, the primary message givers that the country is sick from our food, our pharma, and maybe other stuff we don't know what. But Tucker says, quote, on a video recently, "If you look at the rates of chronic illness in this country, it's destroying the country and it's an emergency. It's an emergency that I would say supersedes all other emergencies." Now, that's the key line. The key line is that that's the emergency that's bigger than all the other emergencies. That's like it came right out of my mouth or RFK Jr.'s mouth. I do believe that the food supply, Big Pharma, and maybe even the things that our media

is doing to us are so bad it's just killing America to the point where I'm not sure we could even be a competitive country if we let ourselves be just destroyed by these forces. So the first step in doing anything about it would be acknowledging that it's a major, major problem. And I don't see Trump saying it and I don't see Kamala Harris saying it. Why is it that Tucker and I and RFK Jr. and pr…
