one. Uh, death is a tragedy, and I need to feel bad about it. Do any of you have an issue about maybe you lost a loved one and you feel obligated to feel bad about it? Not just obligated, but you feel bad about it. Well, death is a tragedy and uh it's there's nothing wrong with feeling bad about it, but you don't want to do it forever. Here's the reframe. The person who's deceased has no more problems. How did I make this about me? How do you make it about yourself? This is literally only about the deceased person and their problems just ended. So as soon as you make it not about yourself, you can get by it a lot easier, right? You've solved all the problems for the deceased. They have nothing else to worry about. Their work is done. And if the reason you feel bad is because they were so good in this world or you love them so much, well then your work is really done because you have the right feeling about them and they did the right things and that was great and nothing lasts forever.

How about here's another one on the same topic. So you've got two to work with on death. Um, one is that, and this, by the way, I've used this one before, um, with the public, I mean, and some people have reported back that this completely changes their reaction to a death of somebody that they cared about. All right, listen to this one. So, the usual frame is that death is a tragedy. Duh. Of course, death is a tragedy. But that leaves you in that tragedy hole if that's how you're seeing it. If it's only a tragedy, that's pretty bad. It's going to last. But here's a way to reframe it. It's not more true or less true. It's just useful to frame it this way. Remember, it's not about truth. It's about how you manage your brain. And you can create new circuitry by just thinking about one thing more than another. That's all it takes. And that will make that circuit a little stronger. So instead of saying death is a tragedy, the reframing is it is an honor to help another person pass. I don't think there's a bigger honor than that. You know, if you've watched family members, if you've been part of it, who were an integral part of letting somebody pass to the next phase of their existence, whatever that is, that is the biggest honor you can have. And everybody's going to, you know, everybody's going to die. So, there's nothing you can do about it sometimes. So, it's not always a tragedy explicitly. Well, it's not only it's not necessarily a tragedy only. It is a tremendous honor that you get to be the person who's there on the final voyage. That will help you a lot and everybody dies.

All right. I wonder if there's any science that they didn't need to do because they could have just asked Scott. Oh, here's some in the post. Karina Petrova is writing that uh there's a new statistical model that successfully sorted people into their uh political group based on their use of X. So apparently you can feed just the raw posts from X and AI will figure out not only are they Republican or Democrat but uh it'll figure out sort of where they fit even within those worlds. Now, did they really need to do that study? Do you think I couldn't look at a politician's posts and guess where they fit in the political world? Did I really need AI to do that? No. They should have just asked me. You know, maybe Fetterman would have confused me, but the AI didn't get them all right. I think AI only gets 75% of them right. To which I say, I'm not really impressed by 75%. I'm pretty sure I could have hit 90 without breaking a sweat. So could you. Next time, just ask me.

Well, there's a new bill being floated. We don't know how it'll do, but
