m is saying no no don't go to that other team, they're all bad and we will mock you and the people you love will no longer care for you if you go over there, people are locked in there.

There's some few people who are in a strange situation in the middle who may, for whatever reason, haven't committed. Maybe they have a single issue that would flip them one way or another. I mean I could think of, if I thought about it for a minute, I could probably come up with a single issue that I would care about enough that it would swing me probably pretty easily. I could do that. But no, it is not a reasonable goal to try to bring it all together into one movie.

And by the way it's never been one movie. There's never been a time that that was true. The only thing that's different is that we can, both teams at this point can see it's a different movie. Yeah. And remember for those of you who have been watching, this is what I predicted would happen. So in 2015 I predicted we'd be here, you know, roughly in the next few years because of the way Trump was teaching us about the fluidity and subjectivity of truth.

Now what I mean is his style was so freewheeling in terms of the facts that he completely ignored, you know, the details of is this technically true. And most of you said well nobody could get elected under those circumstances. And I said not only will he get elected but he's gonna change how you see reality. And this two movies thing is the primary change.

I think before if you'd said why do people disagree and fact check, beyond this use your own memory, say five years ago if the two sides disagreed what would you have said about the other side? You'd say they're stupid, they're uneducated, they're selfish and they haven't looked into it hard enough. And you would just say well there are smart people and dumb people in the world. Thank God I'm one of the smart ones.

Meanwhile the people you're talking about would be having their own conversation and it would be just like yours. Well they disagree with me because they're stupid and selfish and they haven't looked into it. Right? So that has changed now. And we understand that people of similar intelligence are on both sides. It was never about intelligence and it was never about how much you understood or researched. Those things changed nothing.

And you can demonstrate it by watching person after person who does the research and you know and there are smart people on both sides. There's just no way to defend the idea that all the smart people ended up on one side because it's objectively, observably not true.

So the model that now people have moved to is they even smart, well-educated, well-informed people can be in a bubble and they can see the other bubble. But here's the change that's coming. They couldn't see their own bubble. That's what I'm going to change with my upcoming book "Loserthink."

So "Loserthink" is designed so that you'll be able to see other people's bubble pretty clearly. But you were already there. You know I think most of us could see other people's bubble well. What you can't see is your own. So I'm gonna help you see your own at the same time you're seeing the others. So you'll see your own through the process of seeing other people in their bubbles. And then you'll learn that maybe you're the one in the bubble on some topics. Not every topic.

I also have a guest recommendation.

Okay if you could get Brad Parscale on, talk about social media and what they're gonna try to do. I think that'd be really informative.

That's a real good, that's a real good idea. Oh I will add him to my short list. Yeah 'cause what they're going up against, Google and Facebook, is probably gonna be the biggest challenge the talent stack's gonna have.

Yeah for sure.

All right thank you so much.

Thank you Scott.

All right we'll take another caller. Yeah Brad Parscale would be a great guest. With me this is Swift. Mrs. Swift live. Hello are you there?

Okay I am there. Do you have a question for me?

Well yes. You did such a good job I thought with your letter to the children regarding climate change. You know I was wondering if you would consider doing something like that about a talent stack for children. For example in school kids are given goals and I encountered a kid the other day who said well I'm not gonna do any more because I reached my goal of doing X. No problem. Yeah I'm saying you need a system to go forward not just a goal. Just wondering if you could facilitate that with a letter or an essay or something like that.

Well so I wrote, I wrote my book "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big." So that book was written for somebody who's 14 or older and it has these systems versus goals and the talent stack and a lot more to put it in context. So it's really written for somebody who has learned a lot, might have potential, but they haven't figured out how to have a strategy to put together all the things they do into something good.

And I know that a few people have summarized the book. If you can believe this there's somebody who writes books that are a summary of other people's books and puts it on Amazon. So if you hate to read you can find the shorter book version. And I think if you googled you could find other people have summarized it. But you make a good point. There might be some kind of entry-level summary of that that could go onto pages and we make it digestible by that class. I'll think about that. That's actually a pretty good idea.

Thank you.

All right well your signal is breaking up so I'm gonna go to another caller. So that was an interesting idea. I might do that if I get a little bandwidth
