aine doesn't join NATO. But as it's shaping up, I think I'm going to bet against any kind of a peace deal. I wouldn't bet that we'll necessarily stay supporting Ukraine, which maybe isn't the worst thing that could happen. So I'm going to say that there's not going to be a Ukraine peace deal. And I don't think Putin wants it. I don't think Zelensky wants it. I don't think the European Union wants…

e would be that you would get fired, which is all about money too. So how in the world does the CEO of IBM not understand how money is an incentive? And he didn't realize that people would massively break the law as soon as money was involved because they could pretend they weren't doing it. It wouldn't be hard to pretend, right?

Carl was doing an inexplicably bad job. Autism Capital is saying that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says she will not impose reciprocal tariffs on the US. I'll need to know more about that. But today is going to be fascinating. So if the stock market turns green today, and it might, it would be because a few countries, it wouldn't take many, decided to play ball with the tariff situation and just be reasonable and come up with something that makes sense. So maybe that's what Mexico is doing. Maybe that's what Israel did. Although they didn't have much in tariffs. So we'll keep an eye on that. I think there is a real good chance that the stock market will end up in positive territory by the end of the day. All it takes is a little bit of a trend that countries are looking to avoid the economic war and make something work. It wouldn't take much. Maybe two or three countries and stock market's going to love it. So we'll see.

Oh, but I think Trump's announcement will be after the market closes. Not sure. Yeah. So we'll see.

All right. So IBM's going to figure that out. Elon Musk is getting a lot of attention for saying he posted on X. As I mentioned several years ago, it increasingly appears that humanity is a biological bootloader for digital super intelligence. Now, of course, he's 100% right. It's just an analogy. It's not like you have to buy into the analogy. But here's what I think. The reason that Elon Musk says we need to be an interplanetary species is that if you stayed on Earth, eventually you would be destroyed by a meteor or the sun burns down or something. So the only way humans can survive is if they're interplanetary. And even that seems like a risk because Mars might get destroyed before the sun does and before we find a third planet because it's not like there's a bunch of other planets. But suppose there was some kind of gigantic risk to all life on Earth. Would that risk be equal for the AI? Could you launch a rocket that just takes the best AIs and puts them

on there and has solar panels and the AI just lives forever as a digital entity that's super intelligence? So it could be that you need the biological entities, we humans, for a brief period of time just to get super intelligence going, which could last forever potentially, could last through suns burning out and everything else. Whereas the biological parts are unlikely to survive as easily for m…
