own with your torch. I think that should be deeply condemned, and we should remove the Statue of Liberty and give it back to France, you know, after we change the torch to a finger. Well, believe it or not, I suppose there's a study about twins that suggests that it turns out — you won't believe this, this will be hard to believe — but rational thinking is genetically linked to intelligence, and…

Now I will say, though, that if you're starting with a smart person, you can definitely teach them some extra tools such as how to spot fake news. That's useful, right? I've been teaching most of you how to do that, and most of you do know. So you often say to me, oh, that one's too on the nose. That's one of the things I teach you. Oh, there's just one source and it's anonymous. That's one of the things I teach you, etc. So you can teach smart people how to be even smarter, but if you're trying to teach a dumb person how to think like a smart person, good luck with that. Could have just asked me. Save a little time.
Here's a story that makes my heart sing. The Trump administration is targeting 45 universities over their anti-white discrimination. Hannah Nightingale of the Post Millennial writing about this. So instead of making decisions or having any kind of policies that are race related, they're being challenged to get rid of that stuff, and the universities are going to be in a little trouble because one of the things that the Trump administration seems to be willing to use as a tool is removing federal funding for research and grants, which apparently — I didn't know this until recently — is such a major funding source for a lot of the big schools that if they lost the federal research and grant money, they'd be in real financial trouble. I mean, it's a major source, I guess, anyway.
So this is especially satisfying to me that essentially the DEI stuff has become illegal. And when I say become illegal, it was always illegal. It's just we didn't treat it that way until Trump.
So you might remember that this is about right now it's about two years since I got cancelled. Does anybody remember me getting cancelled? Of course you do. Now the interesting thing about my cancellation is I realized the other day that my lasting legacy, the way I'll be remembered by search engines and AI, will be two things that didn't happen. So my primary legacy will be based on things that didn't happen that aren't true.
Number one, that I gave a racist rant and that's why I got cancelled. That didn't happen. I was ranting against racism very specifically. I was against people who are racist, and I said, wow, why would I want to live with a bunch of racists? I would want to live where they're not, which is literally what every single person in the world would agree with. Why would you want to live where there are a bunch of racists?
Now of course I've never been in favor of racism against an individual, you know, not in hiring, not in dating, not in friendship, not in picking teams, nothing. So of course I've always been against racism. So I've been against racism against individuals but also if there's a group that seems to be extra racist according to data, and there was data, then I said maybe you should not spend time with people who are a little more racist against you than you're comfortable with. Every single person in the world ag

rees with that. But I got canceled. So how much pleasure do you think I get watching the thing I got canceled for become illegal? A lot. It's satisfying on a level that you can barely understand. But I'll always be remembered as the guy who made the racist rant because the news is fake, history is fake, the history books are fake, and mostly what the AI will tell you in the future will be fake, u…
