e country isn't paying attention. Anybody who's watched him in a debate is gonna have a real problem thinking that that's a safe thing to do for the country. But if there's any doubt in people's minds about whether Biden will be capable and they still want the benefit of thinking incorrectly but thinking that Biden could beat Trump, they might have this tough question, which is it's obvious he's not capable, but what if there's a hot backup?

And here's the thing about Harris. Imagine a vice presidential pick that you could more easily imagine invoking a fairly radical solution, the 25th Amendment. Now I don't think it'd be radical in this case just because it would be quite called for, I think. But I feel like Harris, because she's a hard-ass by reputation and because she's obviously ambitious – I guess they're all ambitious – but she's also a prosecutor. If I were to pick one personality type who would be willing to overlook – not overlook, let's say who would be intellectually capable of sidelining loyalty – I'm trying to say this in a more positive way, not to make it negative. Someone who has the critical thinking and experience and mental mindset of a prosecutor can put aside feelings for some greater process, legal purposes, and that's sort of what she does. So I would think that a prosecutor would be the best choice to be expected to be aggressive in acting quickly if there was a confidence problem with the president.

So we might see that happen, and it would be a not impossible way for Harris to become president.

There's an interesting example of loserthink in the news I like to call out. Now let me define loserthink for you. It's the title in my new book coming out November 5th. I'll give you a little preview with the theme. The theme is that people who have experience across various different fields of study, be they history, psychology, economics, business, technology, engineering, whatever the fields are, the people who have a broader experience at least in the thinking styles – not all the details, not all the skills of those different disciplines – but if you've been exposed to the way they think, you're way ahead in understanding your world and communicating well.

I'll give you a trivial example. If you had never heard of science, would it ever occur to you that you should do controlled experiments and double blinds and stuff like that? Probably not, right? Because those things were not obvious until – who invented science? Isaac Newton, I think, was sort of the thought founder of a lot of science. You can help me with the details. But the point is throughout much of human history it wasn't obvious that you needed a controlled experiment and then you could rigorously test your way to something good.

Now think how handicapped you'd be if you were a modern person in the modern world and you never heard of science. Now you don't have to be a scientist to know that controlled experiments make sense. There's a reason to explain it.

All right, so I'm gonna take that concept and apply it to a conversation, sort of a public conversation I guess. Bill Maher did a monologue in favor of fat shaming. In other words, his point was we should shame people to lose weight because of the health benefits, economic benefits, societal benefits. So James Corden, who I think you know him from his late night show, he's got a very impressive body of work in the entertainment industry. So the first thing I'm gonna say about James Corden is he's very successful. I'm guessing very smart because if you look at the body of his work it's pretty broad in the entertainment industry. It's very impressive. But I checked to see what his educational background is and it's not science, it's not engineering, it's not economics, it's not business.

Now if somebody did not have an educa
