ld be controlled with my body from my chest up because that all works fine. But from my belly button down, I would have to pay other people to keep it alive. And that's a weird kind of life. So we'll see if that's worth doing. A hack reveals a16z-backed phone farm flooding TikTok with AI influencers. Yeah, I never trusted TikTok. More news about Minnesota fraud. Of course, Trump Media is merging…

ite beginning next year. Really? They think they can build a fusion site next year and they will make additional ones with an expected output of blah blah blah watts. Huh. So under the deal, this is weird, Trump Media could provide a few hundred million in cash. So Devin Nunes, who's the CEO of Trump Media, said the merger represents a continuation of Trump Media's America First principles. I'll be damned. Does it make sense that a media company would merge with a fusion company? Well, let's see.

The commerce secretary says that next year will be the big one for the economy. Do you believe that? Do you believe that 2026 we will be well staged for the economy? I believe that might be true.

ZME Science is asking, does music training really make children smarter? What do you think? Do you think music training makes kids smarter or is it the smart kids who take music? Because it could work either way. But according to this study, music lessons are less likely to make children smarter but more likely to reveal the curiosity and discipline they already have. All right. Okay. I believe that. So music doesn't make you smarter, but it might.

If you were not believing science is real, there's more evidence of that. The fusion of media and energy. Yeah.

Do you think white men will be doing a bunch of discrimination cases? Can you imagine how many legal disputes there would be if white men started going against DEI? Wow.

According to Reclaim the Net, the US suspends $41 billion tech deal with the UK over online censorship laws. Ah, so I wondered if the US would get tough on that. So I've not been ever comfortable with the idea that Europe would decide what kind of censorship to put on US companies, but they were trying to censor the US companies like X and it looks like the government is going to be backing the US companies. Good. You know, that would not have happened under Biden. Under Biden, Europe would have basically shut down US company social media unless it did what Europe wanted them to do. Looks like the Trump administration is saying no thanks.

Well, according to Science Alert, cheese is linked to lower dementia risk in a 25-year study. Did you know that if you eat enough cheese, it will lower your risk of dementia? How many of you believe that's true? I wonder if this study was done by big cheese. Probably. Yeah, probably.

According to the Conversation, microdosing cannabis pauses Alzheimer's decline in unprecedented trial. Do you believe that? Do you believe that microdosing cannabis slows down dementia? Well, Alzheimer's. Well, we'll see.

My brain will last forever. You know, the weirdest thing about being in the hospital is that I went cold turkey on marijuana, obviously. So that for a week or so I completely am off marijuana and I haven't really noticed, you know, because you're usually drugged up on painkillers anyway at the moment. I have some baseline morphine but I've reduced my painkillers substantially, which might mean th…
