y hypothesis. That people are drawn to the thing that they can conceive the most easily and you can conceive a story, one that looks like a story, more readily than you can conceive of something that's random. And that we're drawn toward the story to the point of making it happen. This is the part of the hypothesis that has the most question to it I would say. People are drawn to what they think about. If you think about an accident all the time you're more likely to have one. If you think about a particular bad thing happening, have you noticed it's more likely to happen? It's almost like you bring it on yourself. You could almost wish yourself to get sick. Have you noticed that?

If one spouse dies, let's say the two people have been married for 60 years, if one of them dies the other one's usually going to be gone in a year and it's because that person is following the story. Right? Not intentionally but you know if your partner dies you kind of want to follow them and you don't want to wait too long. So the odds of you dying pretty quickly go way up and that's shown to be true.

So with this situation of let's say Trump running for president, one of the filters I saw was that the most amazing story would be if he came from behind and won. That was the best story. If you're going to make a movie of 2016 it had to end that way, didn't it? It had to end with Trump winning because that was just the best story. You might not enjoy it if you're a Democrat but you can't ignore the fact it's the best story.

Likewise one year ago when people were talking about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's health I said to myself, all right what would be the best story? The best story is not that she died a year before an election. No. The best story would not be that she died a month after the election. The best story to make it like a regular plot of a movie is if she dies 45 days before the election. Why 45? President is number 45.

Now that's just a coincidence but the exact timing of her death feels entirely like a movie plot. And I did in fact, privately, I don't think I said this publicly, I don't like to publicly predict somebody's death, but privately I was saying, you know it's going to happen a month before the election because that's the story.

So watch for that pattern. See how many times the best story wins. And if you were to take that concept to let's say Durham. So the Durham investigation is happening now. What would be the best story? The best story would be Durham comes out before the election. Again it's like Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Right before the election is the better story. After the election I don't know, w
