books I guess because that’s what they trained on. So it’s possible that we will destroy our own AI industry through the courts. But if I had to bet on it, I would follow the money and I would say we would be talking about like $50 trillion of value and the future of the country. So I would say there’s so much money involved that the courts would be under so much pressure and there would be counter suits. And I feel like the people who have $50 trillion at risk are going to win that battle every time because there’s just so much at risk.

Anyway, according to PsyPost, Vladimir H. is writing that the brightest children from low-income homes are very competitive with the brightest kids from rich places up until the age of about 11. And then for reasons that are not clear, but you probably have your own theories, when that bright kid reaches age 11, if they’re in a poor situation, their academic results just go to hell between 11 and 14. But the rich kids who were just as bright as the poor kids when they were five and six years old, they apparently have a better support system in every way. And so they go on to become brainy adults. So there is something in the process of poverty that makes a bright kid turn off. And I don’t know what exactly it is. It could be that they don’t want to look like the nerd and they don’t want to be teased for being the brainiac or stuff like that.

Remember I keep telling you that being immune to embarrassment is the greatest superpower ever. Well, here’s a good example. When I was in school, I eventually graduated as valedictorian of my high school. Not very impressive because the entire school was very small.

And can you imagine that I got teased for being a brainiac, a nerd, etc. And the answer is, of course I did. Of course I did. And you’re probably saying, “Oh my god, how did you handle all that humiliation and the teasing?” To which I say, “Why humiliation? Why humiliation? Are you telling me I was supposed to feel bad when the dumb people called me smart? Where was the part where I was supposed to feel bad? I missed the entire part where their cutting insults were slicing through my psyche and leaving me in tatters. The whole time I was just thinking, ‘Yeah, you got that right.’ Yeah, I am going someplace. Too bad you’re not. Yep, I’m a nerd. That’s right. I did do my homework. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah,
