. And it doesn't look like Elon finalized his paperwork, and it feels like a problem. So this is my advice: Don't get involved with anybody unless you've got a lawyer with you. You should bring the lawyer on the first date, maybe the second date too. It's like, "Hi, you know, my name's Bob and this is my attorney. He'll be negotiating the paperwork in case this comes to anything. Will you or will…

path for a while, but it's good to see Naval say it because he's smarter. So it's good when smart people agree with you.

All right, here's something that probably is a nothing but might be a really big thing. Now before I tell you, I would like to say what the NPCs will say. You know I do this as a service so they don't have to do it. When I'm done I want you to yell, "That's Soylent Green! I don't want to live in a tiny house! Swimming is the best form of exercise and you can't make me eat that and I won't eat bugs!" All right, does that cover everything? That's everything the obvious people say. Okay, now that that's covered, you don't need to say those things. Do you get it? It's so you don't need to say them. You could. Yeah, and French press is the best way to make coffee. Thank you.

But apparently there's a version of it that's really nutritious, and let's say they call it water lentils. So I think it's not a slime so much as it might be little chunks, but it's sort of green and chunky and it can grow in a pond. And apparently it's a superfood. It's got 35% carbs, 20% minerals, and up to 40% protein. Now that would be a tremendous amount of protein.

Now you've probably heard me say way too many times, wouldn't it be good to have your own indoor farm? But how in the world could you grow p

rotein in an indoor farm? I know you can grow lettuce and stuff like that that nobody wants to eat too much. I mean, how much lettuce do you want to eat? So I was always saying indoor farms aren't going to work until you can make protein. This is apparently something you can do in an indoor facility, and it's got protein like crazy and you could add it to just about anything. So maybe — I'm not s…
