When you think about the plant matter on earth or the oil under the ground, old dinosaur bones, old plants that you're going to extract as oil, it's nothing compared to if you could just get good at capturing the sun.

So we should be focused on that.

We should be racing towards that in the same way that China is.

We should be reducing our dependence on oil and the need to do all of that.

But while we do that transition, we should be making sure that we're energy independent.

And if that means spinning up oil refineries so that we're not reliant on the Middle East, way better situation.

If that makes us an energy exporter, it's creating jobs, great.

It's not my favorite kind of manufacturing to bring back to the US, but I'll take it.

This is crazy, man.

Listen, the example that people give, and I think it is a phenomenal one, is this is like writing about 9-11, you know, whatever, seven hijackers or however many there were, were enjoying a wonderful warm day in September in the city when suddenly their lives were changed as they crashed planes into a building.

It's like, what are you doing?

Now they've done a retraction, but even in the retraction, they were still like downplaying.

The bomb didn't go off.

But if it had, the kids of their own admission said we were hoping to kill more people than they killed in the Boston City bombing.

So they have detonated the explosive devices so they know they were real.

And

these kids were trying to kill people and so like to frame it like that it's just so this is so gross and so ridiculous and the fact that this kind of stuff works the reason that i wanted to cover this is i just want to remind everybody you guys are being spun all the time even i am making word choices all the time everybody is trying to lock you in their frame of reference now

Boy, am I doing a lot of work to try to make sure that my frame of reference is tied to reality, which I think is the highest utility thing to do versus a narrative.

But goodness gracious, like this kind of thing is so ridiculous that I can't believe how naked it's become the just blatant manipulation.

And so just remember, your favorite politician is doing this to you.
