they? Doesn't it seem like just watching a movie doesn't feel like a thing I do anymore? There isn't a single movie on the list I have even a little bit of interest in. I tried to watch a miniseries on Prime Video called The Agency about the CIA. Now it's fiction and characters were good and I kind of like the tone of it and the writing seemed good. And I got through the first episode yesterday while I was working. Second episode comes on and man tied to a chair. And that's the last I'll ever watch of it. I'm serious about this. If you tie somebody to a chair, I'm not going to watch. That's the end of my viewing for that. You got to come up with something better than tying somebody to a chair. All right, it's 2025. You can do better.

Meanwhile, Oprah discovered that free will is not a thing. She didn't say it that way. What she said was that when she got on Ozempic she understood thin people now. I'm not saying she's thin and she's not saying she's thin, but it gave her an insight. Because once she got on Ozempic, apparently it changed her thoughts about food. Because when your body is less craving, I guess your mind is relaxed as well. So she realized that thin people don't obsess about food all the time like she did. You realize that's realizing that there's no free will, right? So she realized that her brain was just different and her chemistry was different. And whatever her brain and chemistry were designed to do, well what they were doing was obsessing about food. And that made it difficult not to eat too much. And then when she took Ozempic she stopped obsessing about it and then suddenly it was easy not to eat too much.

Well this is what I've been telling people forever. I discovered this with the kids having sleepovers in the house and having all their friends over. And if I got pizza I put the pizza down and the kids, no matter how many of them there were, would appear to actually get a piece of pizza. Because they were always busy doing something. But they would arrive at the food in the exact order of their current weight. And the first time I saw it I thought that looks like a coincidence. That these skinniest people don't even walk toward the pizza. They just keep doing what they're doing like they're not even hungry. And then the people who are a little heavier right at the pizza. Now there's no way that the way they're thinking about food is the same. Because it can't be a coincidence that the person who's got a few extra pounds is always the first one to the pizza. But you can see it really obviously with kids. So I can tell with certainty that some brains are different. And it's not about anybody choosing to be overweight. That's not what happens. So there is no free will.

If you're an NPC and you'd like to argue this, let me tell you how you could argue in favor of free will existing. You just replace words with your own personal definition. So if you want to argue, here's what you'd say to maintain your illusion of free will. You'd say something like, but I choose what I do. That's free will. No, that's just putting a different word for another word. That's not anything. Or somebody said to me in the comments, we have discipline when it is hard. No, again that's just a word. You have discipline. You mean you just replaced free will with discipline. No, that's not anything. That's just changing a word. Or somebody else said that Scott can believe what he wishes because he has free will. So I can do what I wish which means I have free will. Because you just changed the definition of free will to believing what I wish. Yeah, we're not going to get into this.

Well today apparently Trump will be addressing the World Economic Forum by Zoom or something. And the thing about the Trump era, the golden age, is that I would literally buy a ticket for that. If you told me, Scott, you have to pay $10 to watch a 10-minute video of Trump addressing the World Economic Forum. We don't even know what he's going to say. No idea what he's going to say. Would you pay $10 to watch 10 minutes of Trump talking to the World Economic Forum? Yes, yes I would. Would you pay $10 to watch one of the movies that recently was nominated for an Academy Award? No. I'll pay for the part before somebody's tied to a chair.

Oh, you know what would be fun? If there's somebody who by some weird chance if you've watched all of the movies that are nominated for Academy Award, can you tell me what percentage of them have somebody tied to a chair? It could be the answer is none. I bet it's not. But if the answer is none, maybe that's how you win an Academy Award. It's like okay I'm writing it and then he's tied to a chair. Wait a minute, what if he's not tied to a chair? And next thing you know you're nominated for the Academy Award. Hey, he wasn't even tied to a chair.

Anyway, CNN is devolving into a podcast. So reportedly their CEO Mark Thompson, he plans to do mass layoffs as you know. But apparently, reportedly, I wasn't at the m
