of me in full view.

Now here's the interesting part. I predicted to the people that were watching me unable to find it that it would be on a flat surface within 10 feet in full view and that I wouldn't be able to find it. It was only because I was doing something that wasn't involved in finding it that I accidentally encountered it.

Now here's what you learn from this. Your perceptions are guided entirely by your expectations. Your perception is guided entirely by your expectations. I have never once that I remember ever put my remote control on top of that speaker that's next to the TV because I've never put it there before. My brain couldn't see it. It was in full view. It was never even a little bit covered up. It was not the same color as the speaker. It had perfect contrast and it was actually within five feet of where I was sitting most of the time.

Now this should not be a lesson about how dumb I am. I mean, you could take it that way. What this should be is a lesson about how everything works. This is how brains work. In fact, I predicted that it was in full view and that it was where it shouldn't be and therefore it would be invisible to me. And that's what happened. It was invisible because I didn't expect it to be there.

That is every perception you have your whole life. Everything you see is based on what you expect. It's not based on what's there. Sometimes your brain corrects, but not often. Usually you see what you expect to see. So remember that when you get all cocky about how your politics are right and everybody else is wrong and all your opinions about everything are right and your perceptions are good and everybody else has bad ones. Nope, nope. We're all seeing what we expect, and that's pretty much 80% of the story.

All right, here's some good news. The golden age is upon us, says President Trump, and I say so say we all.

Here are some things. Science Daily says that they're getting close to being able to figure out how to grow food without sunlight. Now also without light, so it's not an artificial light, but rather they're very close to being able to send some kind of electrical impulse, very slight, into the plants and essentially mimicking photosynthesis but doing it with just a tiny, tiny little bit of energy.

Now if you could actually master that and use just a few solar panels on top of an indoor garden, you're going to reduce your energy costs and most of your problems by 90, 99%. So if this works, it would revolutionize gardening to the point where you'd probably just, everybody would have a garden. It would be so much more efficient to just pack the plants in a little closet, send them a little electricity in the dark, and then go pick your tomatoes when you're ready. So there could be a gigantic, gigantic potential change in farming, a civilization-altering t
