I would just doubt your science because it's so freaking obvious.

Now I don't know how in the world you could not see it. It's as obvious as anything could be obvious. Now what causes that? Now keep in mind there are two things happening. One is that Trump has more male supporters. So if you are simply to measure all the testosterone in the Trump supporters you would of course get more just because there are more men in the group. So that's the first thing. Second thing is just obvious. It's just obvious.

And I had made the hypothesis before that the way people respond to Trump might be based on whatever experience they've had in the past with bullying. And my hypothesis, which I'm going to modify right now, my hypothesis had been that if you'd been the subject of bullying, a victim of it any time during your life, and you saw Trump, he triggered you to remember those situations and you say to yourself no, never again. I'm not going to be in this bullying situation so I can't support him. And then I speculated that if you had been the bully yourself or you just hadn't been bullied, that you didn't see that. And what you saw was a strong leader who may or may not agree with you but that's it. It wasn't scary.

I'm going to modify that because I feel as though the bullying thing might be a factor but not the full explanation. I feel like testosterone is the better explanation. And here's why. And again let me say that this is all speculation. It's based on anecdotal stuff. The moment there is a scientific peer-reviewed controlled study that says that there is no correlation I will immediately adopt that opinion. But at the moment there isn't. There is not that. I just looked. There's no information on that.

So here's what I think. I think that your testosterone level, if you're male, so let's just talk about men, the higher your testosterone level, the less afraid you are of other men. Do you agree with that? Let's say I think if this would be harder to answer for the women. But men, you have experienced just in your own life times when you knew your testosterone was high. Let's say you just went to the contest. You've been working out. You're feeling healthy. You know your testosterone is high. You can feel it. You also know that there have been times when you've been sick or down or you broke up with your girlfriend or whatever your problem was. You knew your testosterone was down.

So can the men here first confirm for me that they have a physical sensation and they know the difference between when their testosterone is jacked up and when it's not? Because their personality changes. I would say my entire personality is quite different if I know my testosterone is raging and I can tell. Right? Let me give you one example. I used to do a lot of public speaking. And when you're a public speaker and you're invited because you're already popular it usually goes well. The audience claps and they cheer and they laugh. If you spend an hour being the subject of affection of an audience, by the time you walk offstage and you're heading back to your hotel room, your testosterone is just raging because it's just automatic. If you become the celebrity on stage and everybody's clapping for you and literally standing, sometimes standing ovations, your testosterone is off the chart. And your personality changes too and you know it. I mean you just feel it. It's almost like you can feel it in your goosebumps and your hair. You can feel it.

And what comes along with, men back me up on this, I'm just looking for the men to answer this question. Women would not be able to. When your testosterone is jacked up, are you ever afraid of another man? Are you? And I think the answer is almost never. And I would say that I'm thinking of any situation in my life then I've ever been afraid of a man or men. Not once. And I've been in lots of situations. You know if you're a male you've been in tons of situations that are dangerous. You can't be a man in America and not have lots of experience with almost getting in a fight. You were there when the trouble went down. You know what I mean? It's just normal life that men are around. The male experience is violence and near violence all the time. It's something that women can't possibly understand. The manly men live in a permanently violent world. And I don't mean that they're actually performing violence at any given moment. I mean that our mindset is that you're ready for violence at the drop of a hat. Maybe not all of you. This also could be a testosterone difference. But I would say, and let the men in the comments confirm or deny this. Men, would you say that you are capable of violence at the drop of a hat for a reason? I'm not saying that you would do violence for no reason. I'm saying that is it true that you're always on the edge of being violent but only if there's a reason and you don't really ever turn that off, do you?

So you guys maybe you'll see some differences here. You see somebody saying correct. I don't know if they're... yeah somebody says I'm never afraid of anything. Survival of the fittest only if he's holding a gun. So I've had guns pulled on me three, four times. So I've had guns pointed at my face four times in my life. Once a Bowie knife. So I've had a knife pulled on me. Four guns. Two of them was when I was working as a bank teller and I got robbed twice. Once was getting mugged in downtown San Francisco. Another time was walking in the Mission District in San Francisco. And when I was walking in the Mission District somebody pointed a real gun out a window as I was walking by on the sidewalk. And the window was really close to the sidewalk so I mean you're looking right at the person in the window. It wasn't like there was a distance involved. And I'm walking by and the guy sticks a gun out the window, holds it up to my basically points it at my head and he pulls the trigger. And I watched the cylinder turn, click, and there wasn't a round in the chamber. He had pointed it at my head as I walked by. A real gun. Click. And pointed it up. I had walked by. So that's the neighborhood I lived in.

So just generalize that to what my neighborhood was like. You know this was when I first moved to San Francisco. It was on the border of a rough place anyway. So I've had numerous guns and weapons pointed at me. And I would say that my adrenaline went through the roof. So if you talk about adrenaline, yeah, adrenaline went through the roof. But I don't know that I was ever afraid. Like I didn't feel like any kind of experience that I would call fear. I have normal fears of normal things, right? I have ordinary appreciation for danger. I'm not a brave guy. I would say as a man I'm not especially brave or especially unbrave. Probably average.

But also I have, I'm guessing, so here's an assumption. I believe my testosterone is relatively high. How does one know that? Well I have the tells for that. So I have the balding. You know losing your hair is either a sign of testosterone or sensitivity to it. I have the squarish jawline. That's a sign of testosterone. I think there's a difference with finger length that tells you you have testosterone. But more importantly I live my lifestyle to maximize it. So you know I lift, I exercise, I eat right, I sleep. You know so I do all the things that should boost it. And my experience of it is nothing really frightens me.

So when I look at Trump I see his tool set but I always see a threat to me. I could totally imagine that if you had low testosterone you would see somebody who was bristling with it and was unpredictable and scary. Anyway so I think that could be tested but we'll leave that open question.

John Roberts reports Fox News that a senior intelligence source still tells him that there's an agreement among most of the 17 intelligence agencies that COVID-19 originated in the Wuhan lab and there was believed to be a mistake. So most of the 17 agencies agree. Does that mean anything? Does that mean anything? It doesn't. The fact that 17 intelligence agencies agree, we know that that doesn't mean anything. I remember when that when I would have heard that and says 17 intelligence agencies, well I mean what are the odds that I'll be wrong?

Now let me tell you what it means when seventeen intelligence agencies agree. If you've ever worked in a large organization you know this is true. If you haven't worked in a large organization you would be totally fooled by this. Let me explain what it means when 17 intelligence agencies agree. It means that one did the work, came up with an opinion, and the others heard about it. You get that? One agency did the work and the others heard about it. The other 16 are useless. They're not duplicating the work. Do you think that the United States has multiple agencies sending different people into North Korea? I hope not. I hope we don't have different agencies doing that. Don't you think maybe there's only one that's got that responsibility? I think there's only one intelligence agency that really has the primary responsibility to figure out what's going on there. And I don't think they know.

So when you see something like 17 intelligence agencies agree, your brain should translate that into one intelligence agency has an opinion. Sixteen of them just said yeah, whatever that guy says. You know he seems credible. And the one who had the opinion is probably not right. So that's how you should interpret it. If
