s the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace. And it actually says that over the door now. All right. Now that's just funny. We're going to be so sad when we ever get a normal president because I mean seriously, can't you imagine what the meeting was like when they came up with that idea? They must have been roaring with laughter. It's like, "All right, we didn't get what we want, but we're going to get some fun out of this. It's the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace." Anyway, just great.

All right. Derek Chauvin, who as you know is in jail for being convicted for murdering George Floyd allegedly. So he's trying to get a new trial and his arguments are well he's got a good argument for a new trial. But here is my take. Derek Chauvin was convicted in a very different environment than we have today. At the time, if you had been a juror and you had not convicted him, you might be in physical danger for not voting to convict him. I don't think that's the case now. And we also believed, or a lot of people believed that there was a big problem with black citizens being killed by white policemen. But now we know that was never the case. It was not a big problem or any problem really. It was not above any kind of baseline. So if you knew that we do not have this big problem and you knew that you were not personally in danger if you had voted to let him go. But here's the other big thing. Do you remember what we thought of doctors during the George Floyd era? That's when we still believed the doctors were credible. And so there were several doctors who said, "Oh yeah, that's totally murder." And the jurors being normal citizens believe that well if doctors say that it was murder you know who am I to doubt the doctor. Now fast forward to 2025 we do not automatically think doctors are credible. In fact doctors have been quite unreliable. Secondly, we know that people were probably being influenced by just the feeling of the day that there was some kind of horrible thing happening to black citizens that wasn't happening to white citizens. But we don't really think that's true anymore, or at least people who are paying attention know it's not. So I would suggest that the same set of facts that got him convicted, if it were to happen today exactly the same way, I don't know. I feel like at least one juror would have said, "Nope." So I think... Oh, and also he wasn't allowed to introduce the fact that they were trained to do it that way. Really wasn't allowed to say that. But we know that that's the case.

All right. I've got a few more stories, but let's see. Apparently there's a new app called Vantor from Vantor Tech where it looks like they've simulated the entire Earth down to about a 3 meter difference. Now imagine if you will the ability to create a simulation if you could simulate the entire world with an app. All you need now is to add characters. Could you add characters? Oh god, I'm in so much pain. All right, I'm gonna have to end early.

I did all the stories that I cared about the most except that I think we should look at humanoid robots to mine our rare earth materials. Turns out there are several companies working on robots for rare earth material mining. So that's happening.

All right, everybody. That's all I got for today. Thanks for joining. Locals, I'm not going to try to do a separate after show today. Not sure that technology even works. But I will see all of you tomorrow. Tomorrow. Bye for now.
