t, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go.

Well, like I said when you were first joining, there's no news today. Do you ever wake up and there's no news? There's just no news. I'll talk about the news, and some of it's about science and stuff, but boy, they closed the government and all the fun stuff. So first I'll tell you about my comic that you can only see if you're a subscriber on X or on Locals. I'll just tell you that the boss is looking to hire an employee who's got a neurochip in his head. So he'll be an advanced employee. But not only does he have a neurochip in his head, he's got an entire micro data center in his head. So pretty soon you're going to be hiring employees who have micro data centers in their head. That's my prediction.

I saw a couple of posts by Dr. Nicholas Fabiano who found a few studies that were interesting on X. One of them is that apparently there's a high correlation between people who are nearsighted like me, people with glasses who are nearsighted, and higher IQ. Do you know how they could have known that without doing a study? They could have asked me. I'll tell you when I discovered this. Many years ago when Dilbert first became a phenomenon, I was invited to speak at MIT. And I go into this auditorium, and this was before LASIK. I don't know if it was before LASIK was invented, but it was before it was popular. And I stood up there in front of that crowd with my glasses on and I looked into the crowd and I'm not positive, but I think every single person in the room was wearing glasses. And they're probably all nearsighted. And I said to myself, I've never seen this before. I've never seen an entire auditorium of people wearing glasses at the same time. MIT, our smartest college. Dilbert actually graduated from MIT. That's part of his backstory.

Dr. Fabiano also found a study. They said that depression can be contagious via the mirror neuron system. So in other words, if you spend time around a depressed person, it can make you depressed. How many people didn't already know that? Happy wife, happy life. Is there anybody who didn't know that hanging around depressed people will make you feel bad if you do it enough? Okay, I think they could have saved some money on that one.

Here's some good news. How many of you remember, if you've been with me since the beginning politically back in 2016 or so, I was just talking all the time about generation 4 nuclear power and how it was coming. It's here finally, eight to ten years later. There's a first, I think it's the first Gen 4 reactor. It'll be a small one that's going to open up, and it's just what you think it is. It's molten salt used as both a coolant and a fuel. It's just going to be a little one-megawatt reactor, and it'll be a test to see if they can build the 100-megawatt, which they probably will. So it looks like this technology is now well understood, and the plan is that if they can build this in a factory. So they're trying to make a small, easy-to-build, won't-melt-down. Won't melt down is the important part. Won't melt down. It can't. It's actually designed so it could melt down if you wanted it to. So it won't melt down and will be built in mass production in factories. So they would build the components and then ship them out to the site, which would be way less expensive. So we might be, you know, it'll take a few years for this to get buil
