, I'm not ruling out that the single-parent thing is actually the cause of the other things. I'm not ruling it out. I'm saying it's just not demonstrated. It's just correlation. It's just not causation. It might be. It might be.

Let me give you a different way to look at it. Now this is not, I'm not saying this is true. This is not a claim of truth. This is just so you could think of like a mental experiment. Suppose the way mothers act is completely different among the three ethnicities. If you married an Asian woman, do you think she would treat her man better than if you married a Black or Hispanic woman? Now again, in each of these cases I'm not making a claim there's something different about the people, so I'm not making that claim. I'm just walking you through a mental experiment where you could imagine that there's something causing all of it to happen. So anecdotally, most men would say the Asian woman treats the man better. So is a man more likely to stay married if he's treated well? What do you think? Yes. So the problem is not the single stuff. Maybe the problem is whatever caused you to be single in the first place. Maybe the mom is defective. Maybe so. And when I say defective, I don't mean DNA. I'm not saying that. I'm saying that maybe there's a difference in how people act for whatever reason. You know, you could have your own reason for why they act that way, but they do act different, right?

Do you think Asian-American kids stopped by the police act exactly the same as the Black 19-year-old stopped by the police? Does anybody believe that? Does anybody believe that? No, no, you're not allowed to say it. I mean, I can say it because I got disgraced and canceled, so I could just say it out loud. There's nobody in the world who believes that a 19-year-old Black kid, on average — right, individuals yes, anything you say about a group doesn't apply to the individuals — but as a group, there's nobody in the world, nobody Black, nobody Asian, who thinks the average Asian kid acts just the same in a police stop as the average Black kid. Nobody believes that.

Now, I don't know why. I actually don't know why. If I did, I'd give you some speculation. I don't know why, but it's just obvious. So why would they get the same outcome if you act differently? How can you possibly get the same outcome? As somebody said the other day, why do we talk about culture? You know, this is my culture and I want to protect my culture. If you don't act different, isn't the whole point of a culture is that you act different? So if you're acting different and getting different outcomes, it's supposed to work that way. That's exactly how it's supposed to work. You act different, you get different outcomes. So I don't, to me none of this is too surprising. Culture would explain it. I don't know if that is the explanation, but it would explain it. I mean, it fits the facts. But then you have to go back to another level. What causes the culture? What causes the culture? I would say density as much as anything. If you looked at the culture of low-income Black people living in high-density areas, does it look just like the low-income Black people who are living in less dense areas in the countryside, for example? Probably not. I mean, they might like the same music. Yeah, that's about it. So I think density might be the underlooked, the underappreciated variable. Nobody ever talks about that. Density, population density.

Mushrooms are all the zeitgeist now. Everybody seems to be talking about it at the same time. So Australia is the first nation to approve psychedelics as treatment for conditions such as PTSD, so various mental conditions. But apparently according to the story, a patient will still have to jump through hoops to get it, which is not, you know, you would expect that, right? You'd have to do a lot of process to be eligible to get it. But that's beginning now. At the same time that Australia is legalizing
