What happened with Jennifer Rubin at the Washington Post?
Go. Terrific. Well, I just saw a headline that Jennifer Rubin quit the Washington Post, or was she asked to leave? I don't know the details, but she had criticized the boss, so maybe she wasn't going to stay there that long. So if you don't know, the Dilbert cartoon that normally is only behind the paywall, either on Axe or at Locals. Dilbert is a Californian. I'm not sure if you all knew that.
How does Dilbert respond to the California fires?
But Dilbert's a Californian. And for the next this week, he will be figuring out what to do as the fire approaches his house. I'll give you a little bit of a spoiler. He's going to stay. So Dilbert will stay in his house and try to defend it, and you'll find out how that goes on Sunday. But today is the beginning of that series, if anybody's interested.
What do dopamine and serotonin reveal about emotional word processing?
According to science, Neuroscience News says that dopamine and serotonin drive emotional word processing. In other words, the actual dopamine and serotonin levels can be... can be altered by words. So your words change your chemical structure. I mean, the words that you hear. And that in turn changes how you feel.
How can words influence our feelings?
Now, you know what they could have done instead of doing this big old study on dopamine and serotonin and words? They could have just asked me because every hypnotist knows this. And I think every writer knows it. I thought everybody knew that certain words carry power and that you can feel the difference. Now, if you can feel the difference in the words, I always assumed it was something like dopamine and serotonin that made you feel it. One of the advantages that I have in my profession as a writer, and I don't really know how common this is. Maybe it's common. I don't know. But I have an unusual relationship with words that I can feel them, almost like they have texture and not physically.
But it's as if they are almost like a pharmaceutical pill. If I say some words, I can feel. In other words, I go... So when I'm writing, I'm picking the words that make me feel ugh instead of ugh. And that makes the sentences look better. And when you read it, you won't know the technique. You'll just read it and you'll say, oh, I enjoyed reading that.
What are the financial implications of DEI spending at Ohio State University?
You won't know that I was intentionally tweaking your dopamine and serotonin with my word choice. Anyway, you could have asked any writer. I think they all know that. In another study, according to Comstrator, Grape juice can cure your erectile dysfunction. And I did eat a bunch of grapes for breakfast before I came on, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it all the way through the show, but I don't know. I might have to end soon. We'll see. We'll see if those grapes work. According to Open the Books, Ohio State University is spending tens of millions of dollars on DEI. How much do you think they're spending? Well, they spent over $13 million on pay for 201 employees that are doing DEI-related stuff. Really? And some of them are making well over $100 million. One of them's got $300 million. They're really well paid, and there are 201 of them doing nothing but making sure that the DEI stuff gets taken care of. So I highly recommend you do not go to Ohio State University.
How do climate models adjust with new CO2 data?
According to Brighter Side News, Joshua Chabot is writing that there's a major study revealing that plants now absorb 30% more CO2 worldwide than we thought. So I guess when they put this big adjustment into the climate models, you see all the climate models adjust because the new variable, which is a key variable, it's a very important one, right? Or will this be the 25th time you've heard of something that's a key variable in climate change that was completely revised and and yet the climate models are the same. Let me see if I understand this. The climate models are driven by data and assumptions, and they're very, very well done, so you're getting the right prediction. If you change the data and the assumptions of the biggest items, it's exactly the same. Does that sound like real science to you? that no matter how many times you find out the data and the assumptions are completely wrong, that you get the same line? Are you starting to suspect something's up? Yeah, that's like the ultimate tell.
