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 interface design. So when I see Jeff Bezos is backing this Perplexity app and when I turn it on I love the interface, I go, oh, well that makes sense. I can't imagine Jeff Bezos backing a search engine that had a bad interface. He is all about the customer experience. If you've ever heard Bezos give an interview, if you ask what's the number one thing that makes Amazon work, he'll tell you it's the obsessive focus on the customer experience. And he's willing to, and he did lose money in a cash sense for however many years because he wasn't focusing on cash. He was focusing on the customer experience. And boy did he succeed in the customer experience. Boy did he succeed. I mean nothing's perfect, but wow.

And so it seems that some of that magic is going over to Perplexity. If you use it once it'll be hard not to use it forever. Honestly, it's that good.

However, somebody asked me but is it full of wokeness? Yes, yeah, it can't be not full of wokeness because it's searching based on what's in the real world and the real world is full of wokeness. Now I did a test this morning in which I asked it, I did the you could call it the Gell-Mann Amnesia test. So Gell-Mann is the physicist who famously noticed that when a story was about something he knew he could tell the story was fake or just wrong. And if it was something he didn't know he couldn't tell the difference so he thought it was probably right. So I asked both Perplexity and Google a story about myself in which I can guarantee I know the correct story because literally it's myself. And they both got it wrong. They both had the wrong context, the wrong frame for it. And it was one of the most important things about me. Yeah, I don't need to get into it today, but completely wrong. It was the most fundamental thing that somebody would mention if they talked about me. Wrong, wrong to the point of being close to the opposite of right. You know, it wasn't just sort of misleading. It was about as bad as it could have been. And it's both of them because they're both reading public information and stuff like that.

I asked Perplexity a question about me, a separate question about me before I did this one, and it used as its source Gawker. Gawker. Now if you know anything about the media outlet, Gawker is like, let's see, if it were possible for a piece of shit to shit itself so that the turd itself could defecate and create like a sub-turd, that's what Gawker is. Gawker is so far from being any kind of independent useful source it's like a turd of a turd. It's like two levels away from being useful. And they used it as the only source to answer a question about me. Literally my political enemies used as a source.

So let me be as clear as possible. The search results from any search engine are pretty close to useless at this point in the world if it has to do with people. If it has to do with maybe a fact, you know, is Starbucks open on Columbus Day that I call Indigenous Day because I'm not a racist like you, well great, yeah it does that great. But as soon as it's a story about any human being it's completely up. So there's no such thing as searching accurately for information about people. You should just give up on that. That's never going to happen.

And anyway the Wall Street Journal also says Perplexity is getting in some legal trouble with the New York Times because it looks like the Times says that they're summarizing the Times stories without permission or something like that. I did ask Perplexity if it could see the contents of my books because if Jeff Bezos is backing a search engine the first question I have is do you have access to the contents of my books? Now I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I kind of like it, you know, because my books are most of them are non-fiction so I would love if somebody could just Google like the main idea in my book and it would pop up. But you can't do that. That would be useful. And even though I maybe wouldn't like it as an author it would certainly be useful. But it looks like books are kind of walled off. So it can answer questions about what people said about my books in the public domain but it can't actually say in this chapter you said that.

Well here's a new medical breakthrough that might be gigantic. Apparently if you mix Ozempic with this other technology according to Newsmax Health you can get rid of the need for insulin if you're a diabetic. If you have type 2 diabetes you can completely get rid of insulin. Now this is a very small trial, only 14 people, but 12 of them no longer needed insulin. If you get 12 out of 14 who don't need insulin when you're done, you could say I need a bigger trial and you're right. But holy what? 12 out of 14 don't need insulin.

Now here's something that you need to know about new medical procedures. Can I educate you? Some of you are young so you've not had many medical procedures. But let me e
