he lawyers. Good idea.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to do a reframe. I usually do these at the front. By the way, if you didn't know, the Dilbert 2026 calendar is available only on Amazon. Only on Amazon. Nowhere else. Only on Amazon. And I wouldn't wait because we're going to run out. We really are. We're going to run out. If I'm wrong, I'll let you know, but I think we will run out.

All right. Oh, here's one. This one is so simple and yet so sublime. So the usual frame is that history is important, wouldn't you say? If you're looking at the Middle East, history is pretty important. If you're looking at World War II, history is important. So in most cases if you're looking at anything with history in it, it's going to be pretty important.

But the reframe is this. History doesn't exist. History doesn't exist. Try getting a handful of history. Where is it? Where's this history you're talking about? Can you fill up a bucket with history? No. History isn't even real.

So there are people who go through their life tortured by things that have gone before. The things that they experience, the things they worry about will happen. But none of those things are real. If it's something that did happen in the past, it's not real now. It might have actually happened, but it's not happening now. It just doesn't exist.

Once you realize that history is completely artificial and also I don't know if you knew this but there is scientific evidence that we make up our minds after the decision, that we decide first and then we come up with weird explanations of why we decided. That's actually how decisions are made. We just think it's the other way around. It's an illusion.

So that's your reframe of the day. Has anybody heard that one before? It's really so effective. I use it all the time and I just go, no, it doesn't even exist. Does not exist. Don't have to worry about it.

All right, people. I'm going to go think about getting some breakfast because I deserve it. Yeah, the rest of y
