that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Extraordinary. All right, let's see what's happening. Is there anything that I've been saying for years that is now the subject of scientific revelation? Yes. According to Eric Nolan on X post, did you know that participating in activist groups is linked to increased narcissism and psychopathy over time? Well, it…

So I don't know if the soybeans and the soy oil have the same impact, but beware.
Akira the Dawn has released a little preview of another piece of music that features me as the vocalist. It's so funny to hear myself say that, that I'm the least musical person in the world. Yeah, I play a little bit of drums. That's about it. But to live in a world in which Akira the Dawn has incorporated my podcast voice as sort of a layer in his music, it's kind of really innovative and fun. And I guess he's going to drop the album that would have a number of songs that he put together like that that would feature my voice and his music. So that's coming December 19th. But there's a preview if you want to see one of the new ones that's on my feed or you can find it on Akira the Dawn's feed.
Anyway, did you know, well you're going to know in a moment, that according to Newsmax, Mark Swanson is writing that according to a poll 63% say a four-year degree is not worth the cost, and that more than six in 10 registered voters think a four-year degree is not worth the cost according to a new NBC News poll. Now, so the respect, I guess that's the right word, for a four-year degree is sort of at an all-time low or at least in modern times it's low.
Do you think that that is, first of all, a good representation of reality? I think it is a good representation of what people think about the college degree. But do you think they're just being influenced by the fact that it's too expensive? And if you ask somebody who doesn't have one, what are they going to say? If I did not have a four-year degree and you asked me today how important is it, I'd probably say totally unimportant. Yeah, you shouldn't get one. And then I'd go off and get one. So I had an advantage.
So here's my advice. It's probably not essential that you get a four-year degree, but it's a competitive worl

d. So if you can get one, you know, if it's within your financial and or other abilities, you should definitely get one because you're going to be competing against people who don't have one. And maybe you're lucky and you get an employer who genuinely doesn't care. There are more of them every day. But the odds of running into somebody who does care, maybe because they have one themselves or they…
