Edited Transcript:
Welcome to your Wednesday, July 29th, 2026 morning update. So I don’t always do this, but sometimes you have to. Somebody sent me something, and I’m gonna read it.
This was sent to me by a reader. It’s from somebody called Health Ranger.
While I am blessed to be able to interview some of the smartest people in the world, I remain aghast at the utter lack of knowledge among the ignorant masses. Most people don’t know a thing about food ingredients. They don’t know where energy comes from. They don’t know where their own organs are located in their body.
They don’t know how mechanical things work, not even a basic level like combustion engines. They don’t know basic first aid or emergency medicine for self-treatment. They are completely clueless when it comes to geography. They don’t know what money is, and they certainly don’t understand compounding interest.
They don’t know how computers work or how storage devices function. The average person is a walking biological shell of cognitive emptiness, and their lack of fundamental curiosity prevents them from ever making the effort to learn anything that matters. But they are total experts in fashion, sports, and celebrities, of course. They know all the latest trends pushed by shallow influencers, but they have zero knowledge of what’s happening in the world and why their life is becoming more difficult by the day.
Michael Yon told me in a recent interview that he believes these people will go to their graves never knowing what happened to them, why they were starving. Why their currency stopped having value, or why they could no longer afford fuel or housing. I think Yon is correct. The oblivious masses will never know what impoverished them or killed them, even in death. There will be no great realization, no divine light of knowing, it will just be ignorance, oblivion, and death.
Don’t be like these people. Understand the world, learn how things work, think critically about literally everything. Otherwise you will one day die as an obedient, oblivious, inconsequential shred of cosmic nothingness.
So I would add to that first that this has always been the case. Period. There have always been masses of people just like this. I will also add, because it’s relevant to the context, that there are quite a few people who are incredibly intelligent and know a great deal about something, but very little about anything else. We call them intellectuals. They are so smart. They are stupid.
The closing paragraph.
Or you could choose to live a life with purpose, with knowledge, passion, curiosity, and wisdom. Choose that path, and you will have lived a life that matters, and you won’t have wasted your time in this sim.
You might agree, you might not. Either way, that’s it for today. I’ll talk to you tomorrow.
