What are the key takeaways from Mark Cuban's political involvement?

Scott Adams 3:42
So it looks like he's got some kind of a company called Labdor, Labdor, that will test your supplements to find out if they're real, which weirdly I was just wanting to do. It was actually in my mind, because I'm taking some just general supplements, and I thought, I don't even know if these are real. So he's got a company that you can send your supplement in and find out if it's real. called Labdoor. Looks like a startup. And I think even some of the best-selling brands might be worth a check. That's what they say. So anyway, this is reciprocity. Mark Cuban played fair. He gets some reciprocity. But I think it sounds like a good idea anyway. So if you were looking for that kind of a service. There you go. It's called Labdor.

There was a study that showed that Americans like to look for news that agrees with them and just makes them feel good because it agrees with them. Whereas Japan and Hong Kong readers like to explore diverse perspectives. What does that tell you about the Asian consumers versus the American consumers. So the Americans go for the news that agrees with them.

How do Americans and Asians differ in news consumption?

And at least these two Asian groups are looking for news that's diverse, like in sales heights. Well, the first thing you need to know is that if you were in Japan or Hong Kong, the news would not be that diverse. So when you don't have diversity, you go looking for it. So that's what they're doing. But in our country, we have the most diverse news you could possibly have. And so I think here we just go for the dopamine hit. I mean, our news is not real for the most part. The news is mostly to make you feel a certain way. And if it makes you feel good, it's a dopamine hit. If it makes you feel bad, it's bad. So you avoid the bad stuff. So you go for the stuff that agrees with you. Here's a scientific fact you didn't see coming, according to The Byte.

microplastics are somehow getting into the air and getting into clouds. And then you say to yourself, uh-oh, that sounds bad. You got plastic in your clouds. But it turns out that the plastic in the clouds might seed the clouds and make it rain more, which would then put more plastic in the ground. So maybe the plastic part's bad. But I ask you this question for the millionth time.
