ones really. If you're going to make a list of logical fallacies that would be in the top 10, that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, right? It's famous. It's literally a famous illogical thought. And it's the primary news. The reason that people are being banned on social media is not just claiming that they're sure that something was fraudulent but beyond that the people doing the banning kind of are buying into the logical fallacy that the absence of proof is proof of absence. And that's happening right in front of you while you're looking at it. Like they don't even care that you know it's not logical.

It's not only the thing that's mind-boggling is it's not only illogical, it's literally a famous example of illogic. It's one of the most famous ones. And we act like that isn't even true. Like man, let's just act like that's logical. We'll just go on with our day and act like that made sense.

All right, so if there are other anti-science or illogical things that come out of the Biden administration be sure to notify me because I'd like to mention all of them.

Now to be fair I do think the Democrats are on the right side of science in a number of cases. As you know while I disagree quite a bit with the economic long-term predictions about the doom of climate science, I do believe that they got the chemistry and the physics right in all likelihood. You know you can't, you can never know 100% but in all likelihood they did get that right. So I think that's the case where the conservatives probably need to catch up with where science is on just the physics and chemistry of adding CO2, blah blah blah.

And as I said yesterday, if you believe that climate science is not real either because the sun had something to do with it instead and you think science didn't look into the sun, or you think because there used to be more CO2 in the distant past that means something, it doesn't because everything else was different then too. So I would encourage anybody who's in my audience to catch up with the science on climate change. Doesn't mean it's the end of the world. Doesn't mean you need a Green New Deal. Doesn't necessarily mean you need windmills or anything like that. You don't need to buy into that. Those are different questions. But buying into just the general question of whether there's warming, I feel like it's time. I think it's time for the skeptics to say if you've ever felt yourself fooled before this might be one of those.

I'm seeing somebody else saying they're disappointed. Wrong. Disappointed. All right, so Matthew, I don't know if you caught the earlier discussion but when you say you're disappointed in me for my opinion that agrees with the vast majority of scientists on Earth, I don't care about your disappointment but I do want to block it because I don't want other people to be poisoned by such a shitty opinion.

So I've decided that the most interesting person in the world right now is Elon Musk. Now you could argue it used to be Trump. You know he's gonna be pulling back from the limelight for a while it looks like. And Elon Musk remains I think the most interesting person in the world right now. And I've been watching some old YouTube video clips of famous things that Elon Musk has said or interviews he's done recently and he doesn't do anything boring. You can watch him all day long and whatever he says is just sort of interesting.

But here's what I like the most about it. Elon did an interview in which he was saying that you wouldn't want to be him if you actually knew the internal life he has in his head. I'm paraphrasing him now but he basically said that he has so many thoughts and ideas and they're streaming at him so quickly and they're so activating, meaning that he feels he needs to do something about these ideas, that is closer to a curse than some kind of an amazing gift. Now again I'm paraphrasing so I hope I got that at least approximately correct.

And I thought to myself there's a gigantic lesson there, isn't there? Yeah he was literally the richest person in the United States recently I guess. I think Bezos overtook him again. But you look at that you say well wouldn't that be great? Wouldn't you like to switch places with the first or second richest person in the world? And then you hear him talking completely, I mean honestly I don't think he was doing any, I picked up no false modesty or anything like that. It looked completely honest to me that it's really hard to be him.

And the more I thought about it the more I was appreciating that point. And think about this. The biggest pr
