ally be done about it because there's no correcting system. Normally the correcting system would be you publish it, you expose it, and then somebody's going to have to make a correction. Nothing like that's happening. There's a story, there's an exposure, seems pretty clear and obvious, and I don't even think there's any doubt about what happened. I'm not even sure anybody's arguing the narrative…
← Previous segment →out that the warmth where you measured it, the moment you're done measuring it, it can kind of move over somewhere else where maybe it wasn't so warm before. No, if you know anything about the real world and you've lived in it for five minutes, you know you can't measure accurately enough the temperature of the ocean. I'm sorry. That's not a doable thing that a human being can do with current technology. Could we do it someday? One could imagine that. One could imagine a million drones that periodically drop temperature measurements into a million different places chosen randomly, and they do it on a regular basis, and then we track it for 30 years. That might be pretty good. I don't know, but that might be pretty good. Do you think we're doing that? Do you think we're putting a million drones down every other day in random places? No, no, we're not. We're dropping a robot in the ocean and then trying to tell people who were probably in charge of funding it that it was all very successful and they should be very happy they spent their money measuring the temperature of the ocean.
Do you remember when you used to believe stuff like that, when somebody would tell you, yeah, we measured the ocean, and you thought, huh, good job. I wouldn't know how to do it myself, but I'm glad you're out there just killing it and measuring the temperature of the ocean. No, don't believe that.
Meanwhile, RFK Jr. is saying that this is a great, just a great way to put something. I tell you, RFK Jr. is, I don't know how much comes all from him and how much he has help with speechwriting and messaging, but damn, he's good. So good. Listen to this one quote: For half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase organic food for every American, three meals a day, and gym memberships for every obese American. Now, there are probably a million different ways to say the message he was saying, but somehow he picked the best one. This is really good to immediately just put that Ozempic thing because it's in the news, right? So if you pick anything that's already on people's minds, you're automatically good messaging because you're not making them think of something. You're finding something they're already thinking about. That's a key to good messaging and persuasion. Find something they're already thinking about, and then you've got something to tie your messaging to.
So that's what he did. And now you might say, is that true? You could purchase organic food three meals a day for every American for half the price of Ozempic? I don't know. Who knows? I don't even know if you could calculate such a thing. But doesn't it make you want to think about it a little while? It makes you pause. You go, really? Well, how much do we spend on Ozempic? And so half of that, would that really buy all that food? And how much is a gym membership anyway? So it doesn't matter that it's exactly, you know, those numbers match exactly. What does matter, of course, is is it directionally correct? Yes, it is. Yes, it would be great if we didn't have to stick a drug in us to be healthy, if we just ate better and exercised. And he points out that even the Danish government doesn't recommend Ozempic. It recommends a change in diet and exercise. So he says it's a Danish company, by the way. So it's a Danish company that makes Ozempic, but the country it comes from doesn't recommend it. But we're not Danish, and it's not a Danish company, and we're just sucking that in like crazy. And Kennedy says, why are members of Congress doing the bidding of the Danish company instead of standing up for farmers and children? Very good question. Very good question.
Related to this is, could vertical farming help us? Vertical farming is indoor farming where instead of just having a row of stuff on the ground, you build a wall and the full wall is full of plants, and then you can use the space more efficiently. But there are some thoughts, according to a SkyMech publication, that if you kept fiddling with the light and the water and the nutrients and the spacing and all that stuff, if you just kept fiddling with it, you would just keep getting better at it until this was a real big part of our food system. Now, remember, if you do a vertical farm, an indoor farm, it can be placed close to the people who consume it. So you take away all the storage and all the shipment costs, and energy costs are high. And then apparently you can do things with regulating the light so you save a bunch of money on light by not using all the light right away and stuff like that.
So here's what I think. I think you could easily imagine that an industry will pop up where first of all all the vertical farming components are just easy to buy and there's competition. So you need some kind of racks or shelving to get the height. Somebody probably already is just making those, and you just say, okay, I'll buy these and put them in my farm. Likewise, there have been a number of developments with light, you know, indoor artificial light to get just the right frequency and stuff like that. And I've also seen stories about people using music and vibrations to make their plants 10 times bigger. So I feel like this is a little bit like indoor farming is sort of the Model T of automobiles, where if you looked at the Model T, you'd say to yourself, I'm not so sure everybody's going to want one of these. You know, if it rains, you're going to get wet. What good is an automobile if you get wet when it rains? Nobody is going to buy these Model Ts. But of course they got better every year and they continued to get better. So I think vertical farming is the future.
Let's talk about Diddy. You all know the Diddy story, but what is interesting to me is how many probably innocent people are getting dragged into this story. Now, I'm going to mention some names of celebrities, but I want to be very careful that my context is telling you that they're innocent, right? They're going to be dragged into this Diddy stuff, but they're innocent until they're proven guilty. And as far as I know, they're not proven guilty of anything. So I'm going to call them all innocent, and you better bring me some good information to change my mind. But it seems like when you have a story like this where there's sort of a, let's call it a black box of badness where you don't know exactly what happened behind closed doors, you can kind of throw everybody into it.
So now we have, let's see, Mayor Adams of New York City. So one of the rumors today is that he knew too much or he has some connection with the Diddy stuff or blackmail or something. There's no evidence of that. None. It's just that he's a public figure. He's having some legal issues. It's around the same time. Then there was a whole bunch of music executives who suddenly announced their resignation right after the Diddy thing broke. So people saying, well, that's a lot of coincidental people leaving the business just at the time. Could it be related, or is it just because it's the end of the year and that's when people like to retire anyway? I don't know, but innocent until proven guilty.
Poor Justin Bieber. He would be a victim if anything, but we don't know what did or did not happen. I worry the most about him because the circumstantial evidence looks pretty damning, but I think we have to wait to hear from him. He may now have the freedom to actually say what happened, whereas obviously he didn't have the freedom before. So we might find out a lot from Justin,

and I hope he was not as victimized as people are speculating. Then there was this star Aaron Carter. I hope I have the right name. He was a young, sort of a Bieber kind of a young fellow who was also part of that Diddy world, and he allegedly died young. And some people are saying, well, was it, did he really die or was he murdered? I'm not making any assumptions here. Again, I'm just telling yo…
