easy-to-read dashboard where everybody agrees, yeah, these 10 things are the things we should be watching? No.

And part of the reason that nobody's doing it is that the people who have access to the information that would make that dashboard are probably not getting the results that they wanted to get. So if they were a little bit more capable at describing what's actually happening in the world, their capability would destroy their own industry because they would end up proving that maybe you didn't have to worry so much about this stuff. But since I'm not a climate scientist, I would not be bound by that. I could just tell you what you need to know as best I could do it. So I'd just start publishing it.

Then what happens when it starts working? What happens when people start recognizing, all right, we need an update on this climate story? No matter what the story is, wouldn't it make sense to have the climate dashboard referenced as just part of the story? Could be a story about the coral reefs, but also let me show you the dashboard. Could be a story about the hurricanes, but you know, proper context, let me show you the console.

So once you did this for climate, you don't think people would ask for it for crime? You don't think people would ask for it for other big topics? They would. And if you were the one who could do it best and had some reputation for being a straight shooter, pretty soon you would be the one who decides what information is relevant to this domain and what isn't. You might be right, you might be wrong, but it's not objective. There would be a lot of subjectivity in deciding what's even on the list. And then there'd be a lot of subjectivity in deciding how to measure it properly, etc.

And that would be enough subjectivity, I say, that it would put you essentially in control of the entire domain. Nobody would necessarily know it. They would just think that you were a useful person who had something to say about the data, but you would actually be running the whole show because you would determine what data anybody saw. And if you became credible, they'd kind of have to reference your data every single time they did anything important in that domain.

So that's how you do it, people. You become the PowerPoint slide expert. And if you become known as the only person who can describe this complicated thing in a very transportable, viral way, you're going to run the whole show. There you go.

I wonder if there's any backward science. Oh, here we go. Cambridge University Press found that there's a study that watching less TV could cut your depression risk by up to 43%. Does that make sense to you? Sort of. Yeah, you can see how watching less TV would... Oh, no you don't. No, it's backwards.

What do you do when you're depressed? You watch more TV. Do you know why? Well, part of being depressed is you didn't have an awesome thing to be doing instead. Would you be depressed if, let's say, I don't know, the president invited you to the Oval Office? No. You'd be all excited. You'd be excited. Watching TV is sort of the default. I got nothing going on in my life. I might as well turn on the TV. See if there's a game.

So it might also be true that watching TV makes you a little more depressed, but I guarantee you that being depressed is going to make you reach for that clicker faster than not being depressed.

I can't remember how much or if I talked about this before, but I'm sure I did. So this is from a story back in April in the New York Post. I saw the New York Post talking about it today. And it was Bill Maher who was talking about way back in April when his friend and I guess Hollywood partner, Larry David, not partner but you know another person who works in the entertainment industry. So Larry David was not happy when Bill Maher went to dinner with Trump. And so Larry David wrote a humorous
