Zuby. Listen to this one sentence and see if this doesn't wake you up. All right. "It can't be mere accident that schools and universities don't teach kids about nutrition and money." Ouch. Oh my God, does that hit hard today? It can't be an accident that schools and universities don't teach kids about nutrition and money. Holy—because that's how they feed us garbage and it's how they steal your money. If you understood money and nutrition, nothing would look the way it looks. Your health would be different. Your finances would be different.

I don't know. This hit me like a ton of bricks—that there might be a reason that they don't teach this. Now I don't think that they had a meeting and decided don't teach this. I think that just the incentive system was subtly against informing people how things work because there's trillions of dollars to be made as long as the public doesn't understand how anything happens. Wow, Zuby with the win.

As an X account called Infographics notes, the researchers lately are really crushing it. For example, CNN's reporting that there's a new study that the more active you are, it will extend your life expectancy. Did anybody know that exercise is good for your health? Apparently it is. Exercise is good for your health and your longevity. And not to be undone, the BMJ group did a study and said that people over 40 would live five extra years if they were as active as the top 20%. Huh. So not only is exercise good for you, but the people who do more of it get more benefit. Well, I don't know how they would have known that without studying it, or you could have just asked Scott. Would have saved you a lot of money. Yes, exercise is still good for you. Nothing changed since the last time.

Meanwhile, University of Washington is developing these cool headphones using AI, I guess, to create what they call a sound bubble. Now this is like a way cooler idea than you think it is. So right now you probably have some noise-canceling headphones such as these, but it cancels all the noise. So if somebody wants to talk to you, you can't hear them too well, as well as the other noise, and it's not perfect either. But they've developed some kind of headphones where you could hear voice if the voice is close to you. In other words, if somebody wanted to walk up to you while you're listening to your headphones and they just talk to you in a normal voice, you would hear it in a normal voice. Is that cool?

It's like the smallest invention, but you automatically—you can see how it would change your experience. It's like, oh, I hate taking my headphones off. Oh, I hate not knowing if somebody's trying to talk to me. But it will make things different. In the gym, do you know what is the greatest thing for women's health? It's earbuds. Do you know why? Because then women can go to the gym and be in "don't talk to me" mode, and it's harder for guys to approach them. Because if you have to go up and say, "Hey," you signal them, "Hey, do you mind? Do you mind? I'm a complete stranger. I want to make conversation, but maybe you could stop listening to whatever you're doing and take out your earbuds or your headphones." Like that's a hard one. I've seen people do it, by the way. I've seen strangers asking other people to take their headphones out so they can chat. But it's harder. It's much harder. So headphones make women safe in gyms. It's good for their health.

I'm glad you asked me. Did you know that stress can scramble your brain so badly it changes your memories, according to study finds? So the more stress you have, the less successful your memory is. But not only does it not remember well, it can actually give you a false memory. Now let's tie that into the headlines. You ready for this? Yeah, this is science that matters. If fear makes your memory worse, do you think that fear could also make you more likely to believe a hoax? I suspect yes. Because if fear makes it difficult to accurately remember a real thing, it wouldn't be a big stretch to imagine that fear could make you believe a hoax.

For example, if I could make you really afraid of Trump, could I then easily make you believe that he said something positive about Hitler? Yes, I could. Because I've scared you into a fake memory, basically a fake memory of what Trump is and what he's done so far. If I can get your fake memory about what he's done so far, it's easy to introduce a new hoax because you'll say, well, that's exactly what I was expecting from somebody who did these things that didn't really happen. So watch out for fear persuasion because it can change your memories as well.

I think I've been telling you for a long time that the most powerful technology in the future will be holes—like literally just holes in the ground. And you see it a little bit with the Boring Company. You know, maybe it's going to help transportation by allowing you to use tunnels to get to places. I don't know about that. But I was always thinking geothermal. But here's something I found out that is just another sign of the golden age.

I thought that geothermal power was really pretty much just drilling a deep hole until you got to some hot water, and then once you got to some hot water you could turn it into energy because you can turn heat into energy. Or yeah, basically heat into energy. Well, heat is energy, you know what I mean. You can turn it into productive energy. But it turns out that according to an article in Nature, there are a bunch of new and innovative geothermal techniques that do not depend on finding hot water. So you can just go down deep enough that it's hot with or without the water. So you just have to go down deep enough that i
