. Delicious. Well, here's a cool story in technology. So apparently Lockheed Martin is building these hybrid airships. They're part lighter than air. What do they put in? Helium or something. So they fill them with a gas, but they're actually heavier than air. But they've designed them to be gigantic. So now they've got orders for these hybrid airships that are the size of a football field, and t…

By the way, here's a cool little related factoid. When I was testing virtual reality goggles, I think it was HTC's goggles, now this was about three years ago, one of the contents that you could explore was you could go into the Hindenburg, the airship that caught on fire and was destroyed. And you could walk around inside it. You could go to the control area where the pilot is. You could walk into the back area and see stuff scattered around. But the funniest thing was that on the airship that caught fire and blew up, they had a smoking room. There's actually a room with little ashtrays. That was their smoking room on the Hindenburg.
Anyway, Rasmussen has a poll. They ask people, among other things, how likely is it that climate change will be a catastrophe in the next hundred years. And half of the people who asked, about 50 percent, thought that it was a good chance or at least likely, a little bit likely. So half of the country thinks there's a catastrophe coming in the next hundred years.
Do those people reproduce? Here's an evolutionary question. If you looked at the half of the country that believes that everything's going to go to hell versus the half that thinks everything will be okay, do they have the same amount of children? What do you think? In theory they would have fewer children, right? Does it work that way? Maybe it's not that direct. But I do wonder if scaring one side has a difference in who ultimately survives, because the ones who are not afraid will be the ones who have children.
They do not reproduce. That's why they need immigrants. That's an interesting concept. If the left is in favor of abortion and maybe less in favor of traditional marriage and traditional children having, it wouldn't make sense that they would be in favor of immigration because it would be the only way to repopulate the country. That actually mak

es sense. It's the first time I thought of that. That was a good comment and now I have to think about it a little more. Is there any connection there or is that a coincidence? Is it a coincidence that the people who want to create their own humans don't want as many to come from the outside, but the ones who can't or won't think they need some more outside people because they can't make their ow…
