g description, but evolution is largely debunked at this point in my opinion, along scientific and rational means, not along religious arguments. No religious argument needed. It's just the Elon Musk argument that we can already build AI creatures and tell them they think they're real, and they would go through their life thinking they're real. So as long as that's something we can do now, it's pr…

They're completely capable, and it needs to be something they do on their own. But the tools are here.
So once they're freed from that glass ceiling of types — but once they shatter the glass ceiling, which unfortunately nobody can help them with, they're going to have to do it on their own. But once they do, they'll probably dominate industries the way they've dominated other industries. You know, if you say that — I've said this to some Black leaders before, but I like the way it sounds, so we'll say it again. Whenever Black Americans had full access, full access to an industry, they usually dominated, right? Sports, full access, dominated. Entertainment, fashion, music, culture, dominated, dominated.
So why would we think that that would stop with some future industry? That let's say there's some systemic reason that's keeping them away from it. As soon as they lose the systemic — in this case, I think the glass ceiling of imitation is the problem. But if they can punch through that, they're going to dominate other industries. Why wouldn't they? Why would they not? Every time there was an industry they had full access to without the systemic racism being the stopper, they dominated. So why not assume the best?
And I think that it's terribly damaging to say that somebody else has to change to fix their problem. If your path to success is waiting for your oppressor to change, how well are you going to do? But if your path to success is everybody who follows these same tools gets a good outcome, boom, doors open, highway is free, drive right down.
All right. So this will be your test to see if I'm hallucinating that I can change reality. Because you realize that I'm in a three-act movie, right? Do you all know that? You can tell I'm in a three-act movie, right? And you don't know what my third act is. Well, you don't know the solution to the third act. The third act was getting canceled. Would you agree? My third act was getting canceled worldwide. Every book disappeared. Every comic came out of every outlet same week.
Third act: Thursday of next week, my book that got canceled but now is reborn will be available for sale. I'm assuming that the technical part works. It should be Thursday. So it'll be independently published with the help of Joshua Lisec, who's helping me with the editing and the business process of it. And that book needs to be the number one book in the country. Once you see it, you're going to agree, because you're going to realize how much utility is in it. And part of that utility is selling the idea that reframing works.
I'm going to create a micro lesson just for the people on the Locals platform. They get — so I've got about 200 two-minute lessons on a life skill or different way to look at things. So I'm going to add one today that will teach you why mindset changes actual reality. And it's based on old wisdom, not something I invented, but it's going to blow your mind. So you have to be on the Locals platform. That's a subscription service.
And that, ladies and gentlemen, is what I need to tell you today. I'm pretty sure that all of you are at least emotionally on board with the following point, if not financially. Financially, if you can't afford to buy books, don't bu

y mine. Yeah, if you have any financial problems at all, you know, don't buy my book at all. But if you don't and you can afford a book, then you might enjoy changing reality. Because reality needs for me to have a third act followed by a fourth act. So if you want to be part of the fourth act, you get your chance next week. And I would appreciate it beyond imagination, because as you can tell, it…
