The Howard Schultz advantage of…coffee! People calling Kamala’s demeanor and laugh “creepy” Kamala and Willie Brown’s past won’t hurt her candidacy CNN and now MSNBC have both anointed Kamala Universal healthcare has moved from nutty Bernie idea to inevitable Can taxes be raised enough to cover the astronomical costs?

I hope you’re getting your morning exercise or possibly just your cup of coffee or possibly you just come here to find out what the future looks like and here you are grab your beverage put it in a mug a cup a glass I don’t care if it’s a Stein a thermos or a chalice put your favorite beverage in there I like coffee and join me for the simultaneous sip yes now speaking of coffee do you know what Howard Schultz biggest political advantages and I guess what is Howard Schultz who was the founder of Starbucks considering running for president as an independent well this is biggest advantage the answer is coffee now I

[1:04]

advantage the answer is coffee now I will be the only person to tell you this but I think you know it’s true partly because you watch these periscopes and you have noticed that I have intentionally used the association with coffee which people like to make them think ah coffee coffee with Scott Adams I like coffee maybe I like him too so there’s a crossover effect our our impressions of one thing can complete over to anything that’s associated and the positive association can be transferred I do that intentionally and you know it I tell you that so it’s not a secret and it still works a lot of people tell me how addicted they are to coffee with Scott Adams and a lot of that is just the coffee and the Association it’s not so much what I’m doing it it it makes it positive so Howard Schultz has this enormous

[2:06]

Howard Schultz has this enormous enormous persuasion advantage because when you think of him you think of coffee and do you know what coffee does to you makes you feel good it’s a really big advantage now is it enough is it enough of an advantage that he could win the presidency I don’t think so I think I think the teams are too set in their ways people just don’t like to change teams and as others were smarter have pointed out there really were no such thing as independence there are only people who say their independence but then always vote the same way so there’s no real such thing as as some group of observed people who who really wish somebody else would run in the middle it’s not a thing but if you haven’t seen my tweet of the heckler who called out to Howard Schultz in an event recently you have you have to play it somewhere where nobody is

[3:07]

to play it somewhere where nobody is listening because there’s a there’s a bad word in there but it’s the it’s a funniest heckler it’s the best heckling you’ve ever seen all right let’s talk about the morass um have you noticed that she has a creepy laugh does anybody notice that I saw two people independently without seeing each other’s comment respond to her demeanor as creepy one comment was that her laugh was creepy and then another one just something about her demeanor was creepy and here’s one of the things that I’ve tried to teach you about the signing nicknames people have been trying to come up with clever nicknames for her you know as if they’re inventing their own kill shots here’s the trick that everybody gets wrong people are trying

[4:09]

everybody gets wrong people are trying to use something about the name to make you sound clever with a name like cold Cibola or or something about her you know thing with Willie Brown none of those are effective and the reason they’re not effective is that they’re just sort of surfacy comparisons the sound interesting with her name there’s nothing that connects it’s just sort of surfacy so what you want to look for is something that people already believe about the candidate all right I’m gonna have to say that twice because it’s so important you have to start with what people are already feeling if you don’t start with that it doesn’t matter what the nickname is so the reason that crooked Hillary worked is because you already had that feeling that there was something there you didn’t know what it was she hasn’t been she hasn’t done prosecuted for anything but it felt like

[5:11]

prosecuted for anything but it felt like there’s something crooked there and and people felt that so when that nickname was assigned if it same with low energy Jeb when as soon as you’ve heard low energy you thought to yourself he does look low energy it just fit the person so if gonna have to change money here we go power source so how do we see now 200 offended people refer to her as creepy without being prompted and having it matched my own sense when I watch her laugh she’s not a comfortable laughing have you noticed that her laugh is it’s just sort of an out of synch a little bit like like it’s a nervous or a creepy laugh I don’t know exactly but by

[6:13]

laugh I don’t know exactly but by coincidence creepy works well with come on so creepy Kabbalah if you know should that catch on another know that it will would be a lot stronger than the ones that are just sort of riding so somebody was saying a Cruella Deville or kamala deville that doesn’t work and the reason that the Cruella stuff doesn’t work is that she’s out there salary health care for all and helping the poor and it is compatible with her brand as a Democrat so the Cruella doesn’t really strike me as you know what I feel about her when I see her you know what I want when I hear her talk she’s talking about helping people you can disagree with the mechanism to help people but that’s what she’s talking about and I don’t think she doesn’t want to help people like you know in her inner

[7:14]

help people like you know in her inner soul do you think that she’s saying ha ha ha I don’t really want to help the poor I’m just going to say that to get elected well I mean they’re all politicians so they’re gonna say more than they might believe but basically anybody who runs for president wants to help people right I don’t think we get any candidates or just absolutely don’t care about people why that’s not really a thing so so I think that one’s a dead end creepy feels unfair it’s not supposed to feel fair is it is it is fairness an objective not really now let me tell you what else doesn’t work I’m hearing seeing a lot of people on social media say that the implication is that talking about her dating of Willie Brown a notable politician from California who

[8:15]

notable politician from California who has admitted that he helped her get positions and helped her career people are saying that that’s going to work against her I just don’t see it I just don’t see it working against her even a little bit and here’s why it’s 2019 nobody cares about that stuff and and the main charge that Willie Brown helped her career he admits and I imagine she would admit it so there’s nothing hidden and as long as there’s nothing hidden and it’s 2019 and you’ve got a president Trump who’s maybe not not not your ol model for your family interaction I just don’t see that it matters this week and it just bothers me when I see it because I think you’re wasting your energy on that attack just let that go and by the way I’ve been consistent all the way from Kennedy

[9:17]

consistent all the way from Kennedy through Bill Clinton through Donald Trump and now through Kamala Harris I’m just not going to say any of that stuff that they do with their personal life is my business and it’s not important you know we’re we’re not really hiring role models right yeah we didn’t do it for this president and we’re not gonna do it for the next one you may have seen him that morning jello has at least gel anyway has endorsed kamal aris and you know that who’s the Rachel Maddow has also put through her weight behind to come on and now see you then did a a town hall with her to put her at the top of the pack so the two main entities that matter in terms of assigning us our opinions on the left are MSNBC and C in that and they have clearly chosen Kamala

[10:19]

that and they have clearly chosen Kamala now the reason that they would choose her is they think she’s the strongest most credible candidate and I think that’s probably true it’s the same thing I said and she’s peaking too early now I don’t think so I think she’s clearing out the field I think she’s playing she’s doing sort of a Donald Trump which is she’s trying to absorb all the energy early and just starve everybody else of energy and she’s doing it really well and somebody saying did she date watered down or have an affair here’s my answer to that did come over Harrah’s date will be bound or have an affair still doesn’t matter I don’t care what word you put on it you can’t make me care you can’t make the country care Willie Brown called it dating good enough for me I don’t care and I don’t think you should carry there but you’re

[11:21]

think you should carry there but you’re welcome to care whatever you like now Kamala said in her town hall with CNN a few things number one she said she wanted some kind of universal health care have you noticed people are saying he was married well well I guess I can’t leave this point Willie Brown was married it is also reported as recently as this week that Willie Brown was known for showing up at events public events with his wife and his girlfriend so Willie Brown was known publicly for showing up at public events at the same time with his wife on the left and his mistress or girlfriend on the right and everybody knew it so whatever really bound the situation was with his wife

[12:22]

bound the situation was with his wife you’re making a lot of assumptions to assume that there was a problem here because I don’t think there was I don’t think that Willie Brown had a problem I don’t think his wife had a problem with any particular thing he did it seems that they had something worked out right so so if you’re assuming that there was a problem that was number one mostly Willie’s to deal with and again I don’t care all right let’s talk about universe out here my point about the universal health care is that now you’ve heard it so many times you’ve heard it from Bernie and AOC and lots of other Democrats you’ve heard it from no Kamala correct me if I’m wrong hasn’t the idea of you the healthcare move from any idea that only birdie could have because it’s so impractical will never be able to pay for it to something closer to inevitable

[13:25]

for it to something closer to inevitable am I wrong now I’m talking about the persuasion and the way we think about it so I’m talking about a normal evolution of what starts out as being crazy talk and then just becomes normal alright remember when President Trump announced it was crazy talk that there could be a president Trump just crazy absolutely crazy that he could ever become president and then it became normal over time it feels to me that the idea of universal healthcare somebody says you’re losing me stop thinking that I’m telling you my opinion on universal health care I’m talking about the public and how the public is responding to it try to stay with me all right you guys are some of you are so locked into your teams they even mention a the topic makes you go all out all about I can’t listen to this anymore I can’t listen

[14:26]

listen to this anymore I can’t listen I’m out just listen to the point all right here’s the point I believe the public has been softened up to the point where the thought of universal health care has really just boiled down to can we afford it in some way the answer is now at the point at this point but I think it has gone from fringe to something closer to mainstream so that’s important because if you’re worrying about it coming I think it’s inevitable I think that the public is sort of evolving - we’ve got to get there one way or another now to reiterate my personal view is that I think you can’t have a great country without health care for everybody that’s my view I also have no idea how we could possibly get there by raising taxes because you they’re just not enough money to make it happen I do think we should

[15:26]

to make it happen I do think we should make it a national objective to figure out how to get there and to figure out how to do it without just raising taxes and I think we could get there through innovation I think we could get there through changing regulations and rules maybe change the laws maybe make things more competitive maybe focus more on innovation maybe maybe try some things but the goal would be to get a more competitive situation in which the market can do its thing and lower the price if you lower the price enough then maybe you can start talking about more people having it so if you get two things right the economy is just screaming which it is now unemployment is very low which it is now so that that helps a lot of people get health care right there and then you’ve got to focus on bringing that cost down at least for the the things that where that’s possible I’ll talk more about that at some point but

[16:28]

more about that at some point but there’s just all kinds of stuff happening where the startups are targeting the higher margin parts of healthcare so within healthcare there are things which are hugely profitable and a lot of startups are looking at those things that say well I’m going to take a piece out of that by making the MRI that’s cheaper or the EKG that’s cheaper etc so we should see something along those lines I’d like to see the Republicans package their healthcare I won’t call it a proposal but a preference you know package it better and sell it better as competition needs to get us there not taxes I’m going to give a shout out to President Obama so exposited Obama did something that was one of the smartest things you’ll ever see and I called it out when it happened and I’ve called it in a few times but I like to remind you of it those are the Obama said in public so this is not me reading his mind he said

[17:30]

this is not me reading his mind he said this directly that Obama care was a bad plan but it were I’m paraphrasing but he said it would essentially get the country a little bit pregnant on spreading health care and once that happened there would be no turning back so in other words President Obama said directly Obamacare is a bad plan he said that he said it’s a bad plan but it almost certainly will get the country moving in a direction where they have to fix it and they’ll fix it while covering more people because it’s you just can’t go backwards it’s one of those things where no politician could say I have a plan to give people you were less health care you know it’s just political suicide so here’s the shoutout from a strategy and persuasion perspective it was a brilliant play he called his shot and

[18:34]

brilliant play he called his shot and then he hit it because we’re in it right now right Obama called he called the feds he was going to hit this home run over he hit it over and everybody called him a failure because the thing he said was a bad plan and would fall was a bad plan and you know it’s of course under attack all the time but the national conversation is exactly where he told us he was going to put it which is we’re all talking about this this topic so he’s moving that he moved the national consciousness he did it intentionally he told us he was doing it and then he did it right in front of our eyes you know you can hate his policies you can hate everything else about him I’m not going to defend you know his presidency anything like that but I’m not one point of political strategic persuasive Talent

[19:34]

of political strategic persuasive Talent you nailed it you can’t take that away from another thing that Kamala talked about on her town Town Hall I didn’t see it all but apparently she repeated the conspiracy theory hoax the president said that the Charlottesville tragedy that the neo-nazis were fighting people now is she sent a lot of other things and it wasn’t it was not Jake Tapper’s job to fact-checker in real time and it’s very disappointing that he let her say that which is so demonstrably untrue because what he said there are fighting people on both sides he was obviously talking about both sides of the statue question of which they are fine people of both sides the news illegitimately created a conspiracy theory in which they claimed that the President of the United States had said that the neo-nazis were fine people that didn’t happen and when he

[20:37]

people that didn’t happen and when he was asked to clarify he made sure we knew in the very clear language that he disavowed that group so kabbalah has started off with a conspiracy theory that the CNN is allowing two to live and I have to say I’m disappointed in that because I just don’t think that the country is served by letting that conspiracy theory pass as fact and it when it’s so easily just not be bumped alright let’s talk about Joe Bishop Senator Joe Manchin West Virginia who I have dubbed it the smartest senator in the country why because two days ago on I guess it was Meet the Press he said what I think all the senators

[21:38]

he said what I think all the senators should be saying at this point let’s turn this border security question over to the experts and engineers experts and engineers those are the magic words and that makes Joe Manchin the smartest Senator in the country smartest politician in the country because he went on television and said the words that can solve the problem because until the politicians release on making engineering decisions which is what they’ve both been trying to do President Trump of course was trying to sell a political solution and in so doing he simplified to the point where he became the engineer he simplified it to the point where he was defining what a wall looks like and how much of it there is that’s really engineering work as persuasion it worked well up to a point but once you get down to getting in the room and trying to actually come

[22:38]

in the room and trying to actually come up with a budget trying to come up with a specific idea which is what the the working team is doing you have to defer to the experts and the engineers now I also like somebody’s prompting me here in the comments I love the phrase smart wall because if you think about it that’s far better than my solution i I had that suggested long ago that instead of coming in a fence or a wall you call it a Wentz and then everybody wins but once is like an ugly word and you know didn’t really catch on but but the the two words smart wall that kind of gets you there doesn’t it because who doesn’t want a smart wall no it has a wall in there so you could say well I got a wall it’s a smart one and who’s going to say that a electronic defense mechanism isn’t a smart wall now it kind

[23:39]

mechanism isn’t a smart wall now it kind of is so you want to get both sides the ability to say they got what they wanted when it seemed like they wanted different things but they never really did both sides always wanted a smart engineering solution to make the border more secure both sides want that and calling this more wall is pretty way pretty good way to get there because those words are you know they’re they’re they’re good words smart and wall are both good words they work well together they they’re catchy I think it’s a good solution so joe manchin smartest Senator in the country right now all right well I wanted to give you an example of what I’ve been talking about for political topics in general but I’m going to use climate change as my example now if you’ve been watching me for a while you know that I’ve been doing kind of a deep

[24:40]

know that I’ve been doing kind of a deep dive on climate science and versus the skeptics and trying to figure out who has the advantage here or to see if I can do something like my own research and get to the bottom of it here’s what I’ve discovered now my my opinion on climate science is always subject to change so I’ve sort of evolved here’s my bottom line based on everything I can learn about climate science number one both sides are dealing with BS so it was easy for you to take any sides and say oh I’m a skeptic or I’m a believer and then you’d say to support my side I get a point out all of the B s happening on the other side it turns out it’s really easy because both sides have a really big chunk of completely ridiculous

[25:41]

big chunk of completely ridiculous claims now one of the sides is also right right I don’t know which one but one of those sides has the right answer but both of them are let’s say they’re they’re trying to market their views with things that are so transparently ridiculous that they do come off as hoaxes all right so climb the science the way it’s marketed now I’m not talking about the science I’m talking about the way it’s marketed to the public looks like a hoax to me it’s just complete BS and I’ll talk about that specifically but the skeptics who are trying to market essentially their view that none of this climate science is real they’re very pretty you know they’re pretty unconvincing most of the time now again there are lots of different skeptics so I’m not saying that they’re all equal in their in their

[26:42]

that they’re all equal in their in their their BS but here’s here’s my take the science of climate science if you count just the the chemistry of the physics of it feels like that could be pretty solid that’s not a final answer but if you were going to believe the consensus of scientists on the scientific stuff the stuff that we’ve known since the 1800s we know that co2 can cause warming etc the the basics of it that’s probably pretty solid I could change my mind someday but so far that feels solid here’s what’s not a solid in order for the scientists to sell their vision of a dangerous warming world they use these models the models just models now I’m not talking about climate science in general not talking about the science of it I’m just talking about the models are such transparently ridiculous that it makes the science look fake as

[27:43]

that it makes the science look fake as well but probably this is a preliminary opinion I could change this later preliminary it’s probably well-meaning scientists who in general have the right idea but they don’t know how to sell it to the public and so they thought well if we put into these models and we show them what’s going to happen and then we calculate what’s going to happen in 80 years now we’ve got a marketing hat on our science and we can take the marketing part to the public because they don’t understand the science we’ll keep it simple we’ll just draw a picture a little hockey stick they’re right unfortunately the marketing of it is so ridiculous and and so unconvincing and and predictions that were way off etcetera that it’s not credible to the public or at least to a big part of the public likewise there are many skeptics saying ridiculous things such as the

[28:44]

saying ridiculous things such as the claims of scientists forgot to include the Sun okay what do you hear people say I think all the scientists of the world who are studying the climate forgot to include the effects of the Sun that’s not credible I don’t really need to dig too deep to find out that that didn’t happen but here’s my point if you’re if you’re trying to do your own your own research on this topic or any other complicated topic it’s here’s the the well that you’re gonna fall into you’ll start at the top with a skeptical claim I’ll use climate science again as my example but this would apply to gun control and lots of other complicated topics you’ll start with a claim that you understand let’s say the claim is the ice is melting so therefore the planets getting warm and you save yourself I understand that I understand that if the earth is getting warm the ice would melt and then decide to say we’re measuring the ice and smelting I

[29:44]

we’re measuring the ice and smelting I get that that’s a solid persuasive argument and then you go to the skeptic and the skeptic says no they measured that all wrong they measured that wrong measured that wrong and here’s why and you and when you read the skeptical argument you go that’s pretty convincing here’s a here here’s a here’s a NASA’s own information that says that it’s there’s more ice gaining than loss and you say gosh I don’t know what those scientists were saying and then you go back to the scientists and they say no the skeptics were looking in the wrong place and then you go back to the skeptics and they say we were looking in the wrong place here’s my link then you go back to those scientists and they say yes that’s a link but you left out this other leg the shows and you keep going on - well from claim to skeptic to claim to skeptic and at every level the last thing you read is persuasive until here’s the fun part until you go

[30:46]

until here’s the fun part until you go down the wall far enough this somebody says something you either can’t check because you just don’t have the resources or you don’t understand and let me give you my best example so so I was arguing on Twitter the other day and I was going down go down the well you know from claim to skeptic to claim and I want to read you something that somebody who knows a lot more about this than I do said I wanted to tell you who said it because it doesn’t matter if it’s a skeptic over or a scientist so after I got a far enough down the well and I think ok I’m finally getting somewhere now I’m gonna be able to make my own decisions based on my great research I’ll really know what’s going on and then I get this the puzzle and Ice Age theory is how to get a powerful 100 killer glaciation cycle when main orbital cycles are 41 killer years oh boy qulity and 23 kill years precession

[31:47]

boy qulity and 23 kill years precession with a hundred killer years of eccentricity cycle week the ABE Russia idea building on Peltier 1980s isn’t problem you got that right does that clear everything up and you know you were probably confused before but but now I cleared everything up this is every debate on climate science it’s also every debate of everything else complicated you always get to the point when you go down the well of claim skeptical a skeptic claims skeptic you always get to this something you could not possibly understand or something you can’t check such as somebody changed some data and you’re like well did that yeah what I know right and the same thing happens let’s take gun control you will start with it like a simple gun control claim this

[32:50]

like a simple gun control claim this country doesn’t have guns and they have low quiet so very convincing there’s a country that has gun control very few people have guns and they have local are very convincing and then the skeptic comes in and says no here’s why they have low gun gun crimes has nothing to do with gun control and then the claim goes back in and again you go down the well until somebody says something that you can’t check or you don’t understand now what happens when you can’t check and you don’t understand you get out of the well at whatever level agreed with where you started in other words confirmation bias so the so the the illusion is that you’re doing your own research until you’re reaching a wise opinion that you have you’ve determined on your own through your goods good thinking and

[33:51]

through your goods good thinking and good research nothing like that is happening nothing like that is happening instead you’re just ping pong you back and forth between the arguments until there’s something you don’t understand and then you go back up to the level you didn’t understand you go well glaciers are melting I guess that’s it there’s a picture look at that polar bear I understand that I see a polar bear I know it I know the polar bear is anyway so you should release on your confidence that you have done your own research and you understand climate change okay let me say who is the most wrong in the climate change argument if your argument is that climate change absolutely is not a problem and you’re a hundred percent sure that there’s something wrong with your mind you haven’t done a good job if you think it’s probably not a problem

[34:53]

you think it’s probably not a problem well you might be thinking accurately and you might be right likewise if you think it’s definitely going to destroy the world the climate there’s something wrong with you all right if you think it’s a hundred percent chance that the climate science have got it right and their predictions are right and things are going to go in the worst position if you think that’s a hundred percent true there’s something wrong with the way you think if you think it’s probably true well you might be right and you might be a good thinker so the people who are doing a good job of thinking about it or thinking in terms of probably or I’m leaning in this direction you know so far this is what I think or well maybe we can’t be sure but we should you know we should hedge those are the people you want to listen to anybody who says is definitely not a problem and it’s all a hoax every bit of

[35:55]

problem and it’s all a hoax every bit of it it they’re not credible players likewise the people who say it’s settled science there’s nothing else to say and here’s the important part and we can predict what will happen and its dire you don’t need to listen to that either the two extremes are not they’re just not credible the probability people are the ones you want to listen to all right what else is happening anything else happening if you do you some of you just wanted to talk about guns now you just mentioned guns and everybody goes crazy your best podcasts were about the economics of climate yeah will be more than them in my book do you think of it as well that as well is kind

[36:59]

think of it as well that as well is kind of interesting isn’t it because on one hand we don’t want to you know go in and take over some other country it’s the last thing we need on the other hand we almost sort of can’t get not I mean we almost have to have a direct involvement with Venezuela so I think that’s going to happen it’s gonna be a question of whether we can make it look like we didn’t go into heavy handedly well I watched the State of the Union with you I think I might be traveling that day so I don’t know but I might Senate postponed bars confirmation yeah boring Carlos white I don’t know anything about that oh you wanna hear something really interesting that will change the world

[38:02]

interesting that will change the world you’re something that will change the world periscope is working on a split-screen version in other words I will be able to as I understand it very soon be able to do these periscopes and have a guest so I’ll be able to have a guest expert that I can interview on periscope from the different location now yeah if you think if you think that I’ve been influential on anything up to this point where do you see what I can do with a split screen that’s going to be some fun because well you know because then I can get the climate scientist the climate skeptic on and ask some questions and it’s gonna be fun you’re gonna learn some stuff yeah I’ve done it I’ve done the split you know I’ve done it with like another device but the quality is low so it’s really a it’s a different situation

[39:02]

different situation alright well you may have noticed that if you’re watching CNN last night you saw that UnitedHealthcare a I guess their insurance self care company they have a way that you can talk to your doctor with a video call so but you have to be within their network to do that my my startup interface by winning up that’s the name of the app interface by Web hub that you can search for that on the App Store’s has a product in which we’ll be adding some dusters very soon and I’ve got a big announcement about that coming up and just waiting for some details to get wrapped up but we will be providing you some a variety of doctors who are licensed in individual states and I’ll make a big deal about that and this is part of what I was talking about about technology lowering the cost of healthcare because if you had the interface app once we get our doctors

[40:03]

interface app once we get our doctors loaded down there we’re doing that right now if you had that and you wanted to talk to a doctor for you know a reasonable price for a single doctor visit or even just a second opinion you could do that without insurance you just pay as you go and then maybe you just get insurance for the big stuff and you’re gonna be much better shape than if you didn’t have health care could the doctor be in India so the doctors are we’re loading our that we’re putting on there we’ll be licensed for individual states and multiple states in many cases so if the debt the doctor is in India that’s going to be an issue between the doctor and you whether or not you’re happy with their certification we are a platform so it will not be our job to vet any of the experts to answer your

[41:05]

vet any of the experts to answer your question so we wouldn’t stop a doctor in India from giving advice somewhere else we’re not going to stop that because we’re like the phone company if somebody makes a phone call it’s not our business what they’re talking about but but that’s going to make a big difference what would be covered by Obamacare not not that I know of so the idea is that you can get a doctor for a low cost you know a reasonable price any time you want and you don’t have to be part of the network yes they can prescribe yes they can prescribe so the doctors will be bringing on will be able to prescribe and that’s a big deal right yeah they can write they can write prescriptions how do we know their doctors they will all be part of a network of that vetted them so I’ll give you more information on that when we’re ready and we’re almost ready so the the

[42:07]

ready and we’re almost ready so the the group of doctors were bringing on or part of an organization in which you can’t be part of the organization unless unless you have the credentials or what will this be up I’m still waiting for the final word I hope in the next few days we’ve done almost everything we need to do just a couple things we left as soon as those are done I’ll make a big deal about it no such thing as a reasonable price when it comes to health care well I guess it’s directional you can sort of become more reasonable I’ll give you the details of the names and everything else when we’re ready to go I don’t want to I don’t want to aim too early when will we have a eye doctors we kind of already have any eye doctors don’t we how many of you have diagnosed correctly a problem by looking it up on Google well let me ask this question this is good some of you know I had a voice problem years ago and I diagnosed

[43:10]

voice problem years ago and I diagnosed it successfully using Google when I couldn’t diagnose it with regular doctors you know I had to do a Google search or a Google Alert that eventually kept up yeah so look at all the people saying yes so you could argue that WebMD and Google searches are really sort of AI already you know it’s it’s not AI the way we usually think of it but as certainly is organized intelligently and useful and you know many of us have become our own doctors yeah getting a prescription was the problem and so that’s one of the things that will be so imagine if you will you do your own research you pretty sure you have a diagnosis but you just need a doctor to confirm it and if it’s right to write a prescription pull up your phone BAM there’s your doctor you got your prescription all right that’s enough for

[44:12]

prescription all right that’s enough for now and I will talk to you all later bye for now
