rip the guy's shirt off and give him the give him some kind of a treatment or something. What exactly was he supposed to do? Was he supposed to push Dr. Oz away and say, "I got this because the cameras are rolling." No. He did exactly what I want my president to do. Not only did he hire competent people who immediately acted in exactly the right way, but he knew when to stay out of the way. You ca…
← Previous segment →ue or false, you see something in the news. The first filter I put on it is what I call the category problem. Now, the category problem is that has the has something that sounds like this ever been true? Not this, but things that sound like it. For example, if you got an email that a Nigerian prince had this deal for you and was going to give you a bunch of money if you floated them a little money in advance, would you consider that likely to be true or likely to be false? Well, the category is is false every time, but that doesn't mean there couldn't ever be a Nigerian prince, right? Like maybe maybe they're all false until they're not. No, it it's best to assume it's false because the category is just such a big red flag. Here's another one. If somebody says they have a universal cancer cure in the form of a pill and it already works on rats, are you going to get that cancer pill in a few years? No, you're not. No, because how many times has cancer been cured in the news but not in reality? Thousands of times. So that category I just like there was one in the news today exactly like that.

If you if you see a story that the scientists have now come up with a pill that reverses aging, that's in the category of things that are never true. I don't know anything about that particular pill, but the category never true. And that brings us to my next story. Uh some scientists in China claim they've invented a pill that is uh gives you the same benefits of exercise in terms of your overall health. You know, exercise is good for you in all the different ways, but they allege they've created a pill that would give you the same benefits of exercise. You still have to exercise if you want bigger muscles. It doesn't give you muscles. So, just to be clear, it doesn't make your muscles bigger. It gives you just some of the health benefits th

at exercise would give you. Do you believe that's true? Category problem. It's a big category problem. No, I don't believe it's true. I do not believe that as soon as they're done testing on the rats, you know, in say 3 years or whatever, that they're going to have a pill that makes you young again or makes you feel healthier again in all the ways that youth does. I doubt it. Well, the other big…
