The first is on the Fort Knox thing.
I think that's a perfect example, but Scott always talked about something that comes from hypnosis is chasing confirmation bias.
If you already believed that there's no Fort Knox, doesn't matter what they say, we're going to find an excuse to chase our confirmation bias.
Like, Marcella, what did you say?
Well, yeah, but it feels like hearsay and I'm not sure and whatever.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
That's kind of how we are.
That's not the point.
We're always going to chase what we believe is real no matter what.
We all do it instinctively.
We just can't fight it.
That's how we're wired.
And so I think the people who believed everything about Fort Knox,
they have not changed their minds.
And the people who think, oh, Fort Knox is a ghost town and empty, they're not going to change their minds.
This is why persuasion is so important, to learn.
And Scott Besant was not persuasive, or at least it was not edited in a way that made him seem persuasive, where he won over people who would be maybe open to a new idea.
And that's the skill that Scott had told so many of you guys.
In terms of the AI thing, I think it's funny.
I'm going to agree with EJ.
