multi dimensions and I'd be I don't know what any of those mean. I don't know what you're saying. Well but then the fluctuation of the Schrodinger cat blah blah. I'd say nope still nothing. I have no idea what you're talking about. So that would be something you can't communicate.

But what I know about climate models is in that category. So I used to say let me give you all my detailed explanation about why the climate models couldn't possibly be real and unless you have an hour to sit there and you can watch me do it on a whiteboard I can't communicate it. So it's just funnier for me to say where do you find out? Because you will find out. I'm completely certain that the climate models are going to have their day of judgment where even the smart people say I didn't know this about the climate models but now that I know it that changes everything. It's coming. I guarantee it.

Anyway the National Institute of Health stopped considering new grants because of the DOGE, either the DOGE cost cutting or some other effect from DOGE. And the idea here is that the scientists are feeling like oh no it's the end of the world because we have all these things we want to get funding for and grants. But the National Institute of Health is now kind of constipated and they can't make it happen.

Well I saw a mocking post by Dr. Vinay Prasad. Dr. Vinay Prasad is well known at least on the internet for debunking research studies and teaching us how unreliable the scientific literature is, meaning the studies. So here's what he says about the NIH pausing their funding of new grants. He goes oh no, there are delays in a broken inadequate and corrupt system that produces fraudulent and irreproducible research and has never subjected itself to empirical testing. If this keeps up we might break a system where scientists spend 60 hours a week writing grants.

That's pretty brutal. But here's what I would say. It reminded me of Elon Musk's engineering rule. He said this a number of times. One of the biggest mistakes you can make in engineering is to try to optimize something that shouldn't exist. Like if you have a feature that nobody uses, if you're spending time making it better maybe you should just get rid of it. So this is one of those things where the National Institute of Health, yeah I guess I'd like to optimize it but at least the way it has been running up to now it doesn't have any credibility. So maybe we just don't need it. Maybe we shouldn't fix it.

Meanwhile over in Hungary, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, he's got this idea that mothers would be exempt from income tax forever but you'd have to be a mother of two or more. So if you had two or more kids you could be exempt from income taxes in his country forever. Does that sound like it could work? I'd love to think that it would because you know wouldn't it be great if there were some simple formula for increasing your local population because a lot of countries would need that. But doesn't that seem kind of easy to game in that system?

So for example if the wife's income is not taxed ever but the husband's income is taxed, what do you think the family's going to do? Well one thing they might do if it's a small business they would just put all the income in the wife's name. The other thing is if both the man and the woman are capable of getting jobs that are similar they might say hey how about the husband stays home because he gets taxed if he works and the wife will go to work and the husband will take care of the kids because the wife goes to work and doesn't get taxed. Well that's not exactly what Hungary is trying to accomplish. They're not trying to accomplish stay-at-home husbands and new mothers who are going to work and leaving their kids at home. But wouldn't that happen?

And how do you promise that any tax exemption will be lifelong? Lifelong? What happens if the government changes tomorrow? You can't guarantee anything lifelong. That's not a thing. So I guess I just wonder if they have enough controls on that. I mean obviously they had to think about all those same things I'm men
