ow how the movie would end and you couldn't come up with a good ending, there could be no better ending than having nobody in the entire country of Canada willing to take the job. There's no, you can't get better than that. I'm sorry, there's nothing. If he had like won his appeals and had it overturned, ah, boring. If he'd taken a class and somebody gave it to him, icky, boring. But having nobody…
← Previous segment →ow what company made it. I didn't see that in the video. But just think about that. What would a golden age look like? Well, one way it would look like is that the deaf would be able to see sound. I mean, if you were going to say what's the golden age look like, I'd put that in there.
I would also love to see wokeness destroyed under its own weight, you know, sort of like the Dr. Jordan Peterson story where you just let it play out instead of fixing it or opposing it. You just let it play out. I've taught you the trick of embracing the thing that you don't like. Often if there's somebody who has a terrible idea in your company or your organization or the government, if you simply follow the rules and embrace it, it'll fall apart on its own. And it looks like that's what Peterson did after first challenging it anyway.
The CEO of Rumble says that Google is burying their search results for the Dan Bongino show, and that appears to be the case. Now of course they're competing with Rumble, so you can imagine why they do it. But given that YouTube has such a dominant position and given that Google has such a dominant position, you do think that this might be some kind of a competitive problem. I don't know if it triggers any antitrust triggers or not. It triggers a trigger. Can you trigger a trigger? A little redundant.
But here is my advice. There is a competitor to Google, and if you don't like how Google and YouTube that they own, if you don't like how they're treating Rumble, you could use an app called Perplexity. Now I told you that I tried it the other day. For weeks and weeks people have been saying to me almost every day somebody says you got to try Perplexity. And I honestly just got sick of hearing it because I thought I don't really need another app in my life, right? But I tried it. I thought, you know, I'll just see what's going on here. And so I tried it. And if you use the Perplexity app for five minutes there's a good chance you will never use Google again. Because when I use Google I get a bunch of sponsored ads and then I get a bunch of things I don't trust, and it just doesn't look like it works anymore to me. But I do get a better result with Perplexity.
But Perplexity has its own little story going on right now, and I didn't know it was backed by Jeff Bezos. So Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder, is one of the backers of Perplexity. And suddenly I understand why the interface is so good. I can't say enough about how amazing Amazon is as a product. Do you ever have the feeling that you go on Amazon, you buy something, and it happens so seamlessly, and the entire process including delivery and even if you have to return something, they've made it dead easy? That Amazon is like one of the ninth wonders of the world if you think of the complexity in that product and the fact that it works so well

by one click. Seriously, one click and I've got something at my door. So when I think what's the best user interface design, I always think Amazon. So if anybody's watching from Amazon, you guys are the best. The best interface people completely for 20 years or however long Amazon's been around. Unbelievably high level of capability. Unbelievable, just mind-blowing quality of technical and user i…
