Well, I appreciate that, and good morning, everybody. It is Sunday, 11 a.m. just about on the 8th of October, and let's see here.

Yeah.

Let's talk to the listeners first.

I read your novel, The Future, and I cried at the hope of children being raised peacefully and depressed at the dysfunction of the world currently.

Yes. Optimism has a shadow, and the shadow that it casts is despair, and the more optimistic you become, the more you despair at the world as a whole.

And I was reading about... It's interesting. You know what? I've got a couple of topics today. I've got a couple of topics today.

Well, of course, there's war, and there is also inappropriate joy, and there's also women who will come flocking to men as money runs out.

What would you like to start with? I am your willing philosophy maiden. I am your shield maiden, a philosophy against the ills and troubles of the world.

Let's get war out of the way. Wouldn't that be nice? Wouldn't that be nice to get war out of the way?

So, I mean, obviously everybody knows, but yesterday, about the 50th anniversary of the 73 war, Hamas launched 5,000 rockets into Israel, and you can see these insane videos.

It's going to be just a brief touch into geopolitics. It's not politics, it's the geopolitics.

And you can see these amazing paratroopers from Hamas come and float down in the middle of I assume a drug-addled rave that a lot of people from Brazil apparently were at.

And they were rounding people up just this morning. A couple hundred people were found hiding in a sewage drain pipe away from all of this.

There were these appalling videos of drones. So, you've got these IDF soldiers who think that they're under cover because they're behind cars, they're behind like shipping containers and so on.

And the drones are just overhead and dropping the bombs on them. It is just insane what is going on. And insane is the right word. It is the right word because we'll get into that.

So, it's Hamas saying that they were attacked first. I bet they are. Well, of course, they're saying it's 75 years of oppression, right? 75 years of oppression being crowded up against the sea and so on.

So, listen, I tips are always great for the appreciated. I thank you. It is I'm being led down the garden path of geopolitics as I used to do.

But it's the ultimate causes, I think, that are the most interesting and the most important to talk about. But if you have questions about this.

The levels of atrocities seem to be high enough that it's open provocation. All right, so let's see here.

I wonder if Israel somehow caused Hamas to attack them. So, they had an excuse to invade the rest of Palestine, sort of like how FDR allowed Pearl Harbor.

Well, I mean, so the big question is the hundreds of billions of dollars spent around the world for intelligence agencies supposed to root out dangerous dangers to the country.

And this apparently, and of course, as you know, of course, if you live in Israel, but Israel is an reconstitut readiness for just these kinds of attacks.
