At the end of the day, the more emotive something is, the more emotionally inciting it is, the more likely you are to kind of want to have something like that again. And so that's simply the nature of how, you know, humans interact with the world around them.

When something is emotionally inciting, you want more of it and you get more of it and that creates the dopamine and that drives the behavior. The crazy thing about social media or digital media, firstly, is that the cycle, the feedback cycle is much faster.

Used to be that you put out a book, you wouldn't get the results on how the book sold and how many people liked it and how many people read it till a year later. And then with movies, you get results in a weekend. But with social media, you get results instantly. When a piece of content comes out online, you get an instant result.

And then with the concept of a feed, where the next content is dynamically selected for you based on your reaction to the content prior to it, you kind of get this immediate feedback loop that then tunes and lines up the next thing. And now you're getting hundreds of iterations an hour.

So I'm not sure that there's really this like simple solve where let me show you something that's like less inciting. At the end of the day, if it's something that's horrific or something that's romantic or something that's inspiring. If it's emotionally kind of activating enough, you're going to be happy watching the next one. You're going to keep watching and you're going to keep watching it.

Yeah. Like if you go on YouTube, I got, I love watching like videos of mountain biking and I see like all these crazy mountain biking videos now. And I'm, and I love watching them. I'm like, dude, this is awesome.

There's a decay function. That's right. Yeah.

What are your thoughts? No passionate thoughts, J. Cal. Did any of you guys see that video I sent you of Kamala's campaign speech in New Hampshire yesterday? Summarize it for the audience, yeah. She fundamentally pivoted from a lot of the statements she made a few weeks ago that I think caused a resounding amount of commentary about being anti-business anti-economic prosperity.

A lot of people call these comments socialist in nature. And apparently, she heard the feedback and is now pivoting the message and pivoting the policy.

The first one is that she started out saying that small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy. She's proposing that we increase the startup tax deduction from $5,000 to $50,000. So if you start up a new business and you're generating profitable income, you can deduct up to $50,000 on the year that you start the company up.
