ing I sometimes don't understand when it comes from Republican ballots. There's a thing that people say and do that just seems like if that's where you're at, you shouldn't be talking about politics at all. You're not ready. And it goes like this. All the people who are making mistakes about the data are on the same side. You know what I mean?

And she basically said some version of that, that she didn't want to be on the side that was wrong. The side that was wrong. Well, here's the part that's hard to explain. If you really were paying attention to politics and you really genuinely, instead of just saying it because it was fun to say, if you genuinely believed, and I'm just going to pick a name, that Victor Davis Hanson, a well-known conservative, one of the smartest people in the world, he looks like it anyway, knows more than I think ten people. Does she really think he's dumb or that he's poorly informed? And he's just one person. You know, if there were only one, you could say, "Oh, maybe one person got bought off or something." But how do you explain Molly Hemingway? I'll just pick some names, some people I like.

Basically, Molly Hemingway is super smart. How can you possibly look at her work or her writing and go, "Oh, not a touch screen." Okay. How can you possibly look at her opinions or writing and think that she's not as smart as you or in this specific case way more informed than you are? Do you not know that? Is that something you wouldn't know?

Because I try to be true to this principle. For example, if I found myself disagreeing on an engineering question with Elon Musk, what's my best play? Is my best play to say, you know, granted I'm not an engineer and a lot of smart people say that Elon Musk is not just an engineer, but the best engineer in the world and maybe the best that there ever will be. But I think he got one wrong this time. Do people really do that? Is that an actual opinion? I think he got one wrong this time in his strongest domain. And of seven billion people, the best engineer. Really?

If I hear a story about the cost of pharma and you know what laws could be passed or what could be done on it and Mark Cuban has an opinion, he's actually in the business. So if his opinion disagreed with mine, I wouldn't try to talk him out of it. I would say, what should I believe? And then he'd tell me, oh, you know, this does this, this does this. And almost certainly it would give me some common sense opinion.

So how do you look at
