Hi everybody, this is Gad Saad. As many of you know, a few days ago, there was the IPO of SpaceX, which was usually successful, leading to Elon Musk becoming the first trillionaire on Earth. And of course, many people were perfectly happy with

0:23.9

that outcome. And many others were bathing and seething anger that such a reality could exist.

0:32.7

And the typical suspects, the Bernie Sanders, the AOCs, the Elizabeth Warren, the Gavin Newsom,

0:40.5

were all reading from the same playbook that this is intolerable that such a reality could

0:46.5

exist, that a single individual could amass such wealth. And so today I wanted to discuss

So if you think about the old Freudian, you know, the unconscious mind, right,

1:59.0

and that, you know, you repress many things.

2:01.9

So, for example, a word association technique, you know, I'm going to give you a word and

2:08.0

please tell me without thinking much, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

2:11.3

If I say, mother, and you say Hitler, well, maybe we need to explore that on the proverbial couch because you didn't

2:21.1

have time to filter your response. And when I said, mother, you said Hitler, well, probably this is
