aracteristic. They're made up of three words, the name of the organization, and they're three random sounding good words that if you saw any one of the words individually you'd say that's a good word. But if you put the three of them together.

So you can take these two, the Climate United Fund and the Power Forward Communities. Both three words, both all good words that don't mean much but you could even interchange them. I've just started a charity. It's called the Communities Forward Fund or the United Power Forward. Yeah you could basically just throw it all together and you got your charity name. It just has to sound good. Comically suspicious names. That's what I'd have AI looking for.

Social Security Administration, speaking of them, they just said that they could reduce their own budget by 800 million per year. Now I think there's an ex head of the Social Security who is a Democrat of course who says oh no if you did that it would only be months before the entire thing collapsed. But I said to myself how in the world is the Social Security Administration, just the administration not the payments, we're not talking about the payments that's a whole different budget, but just the people who manage the payments, how is that so big that they can cut 800 million out of it and think it would still work? Like what would be left? And doesn't your common sense tell you that they're way overstaffed? Because if you took away, there obviously it's mostly just data in a computer but how many special cases are there that you need that many staff for what is kind of an automated process?

Because once you've programmed in what's the current law, okay if you're this age you get this, you put in the rules. Once you've done that as a current recipient of Social Security, I recently just like two months ago I think I decided to turn it on and so they already have all of my information that I've been paying forever because they send me reports so I know that they have it. So they have everything that they need to know about me and then I fill out some forms and then they know that I want to get paid. They know what to pay me. The computer does it. No humans need to be involved. And then I get checks. Which part of that requires a human beyond setting up the computers in the first place?

And I'm thinking to myself man the only way you could get to such a large organization is if you got there sort of incrementally, increasing the budget 10% a year every time you could. But if you were to build this today from scratch don't you think it would be six programmers and then a big computer budget? Like why do you need this many special cases? I don't know. Maybe it's to take care of all those people who are 300 years old and collecting checks according to Bernie.

Well here's something that's fun. John Stewart had offered to interview Elon Musk but Elon said I got some requirements. One of the requirements was it would be unedited. So unedited, good. And I think there was some other requirement but being unedited I think would be the primary one. And so it looks like this might happen because Stewart's agreed to the conditions. Stewart said having think about his offer meaning unedited. I thought you know hey that's actually how the interviews normally air. It's unedited so sure we'd be delighted. And he said he would do it any length of time which is another thing typically you wouldn't do on a TV show. Normally there's always that time but this is a special case. So if 90 minutes is the right amount of time they'll do it 90 minutes. If 15 is right, 15. I like that.

But here's what I think about this. This might be the best interview of all time. It has that potential. And here's why. You don't have to like John Stewart in general. You don't have to like his political views. You can say what you want to say about him. You could say oh he's not, he's a snake in the grass and he might act reasonable sometimes but any minute he could turn on you. Whatever you want to say. But here's what I say. As far as I can tell John Stewart is unwilling to be stupid in public. I can't watch him privately probably it's the same but publicly I've been watching him for a long time and he doesn't want to act stupid in public.

And by that I mean he would not reject common sense. Musk only has common sense. There's probably nobody in the world who could do a better job of saying this is why we're doing it and this just makes common sense. Musk is the champion of common sense. I have real reasons. Here are my reasons. And if you disagree with me I'll rethink it. I like if you have a good argument I'll rethink it. Stewart's the same. I believe that Stewart if he heard something he'd never heard before which is very possible, like an argument that he just never heard before, I think that he would in real time say okay you know what that's actually
