The events that occurred in Las Vegas were not only tragic, but they should serve as a reminder for those who create content as to what can happen when your desire is to be "first." Conspiracy theories are sometimes real, but I worry that sometimes people want them to be true more than they want to look at the data objectively. This episode attempts to explain and provide a thought process that has served me well in life when it comes to separating the "wheat from the chaff" of information overload.

Chapter 1: What incident is being discussed in this episode?
Last Friday, I talked about the attack in New Orleans and I briefly talked about the Cybertruck explosion in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Today, I'm going to focus exclusively on the Cybertruck and the individual that was driving it and
The rush to be first that was associated with that and the problem that I see with that, the incident itself, I'll break down how I feel about that after the intro and the ad break. The incident itself highlights for me and the reason that I'm willing to even create something around this. It highlights a theory of thinking that I am worried more and more people are getting trapped in.
And I wanted to share something with anybody willing to listen that has really helped me in my life when it comes to separating truth from potential fiction, objectivity from emotionality, and I'm going to share that. So that's what we're going to be talking about today.
Chapter 2: What lessons can we learn from the rush to be first?
Before we get into it, please give me 90 seconds of your attention to pay the bills, to talk about the sponsor that makes this episode possible, that allows me to do this, something that's wildly enriching for myself, and bring it to everybody who can receive this at no cost. So let's pay the bills. This episode is brought to you by AG1. Let's go back in time about a year.
In the hospital for the first time with a surgery. And for those of you who've never had a surgery, you may not recognize this. They don't let you drink immediately afterwards, or at least they didn't let me. And I found myself feeling like I was in the middle of the Sahara Desert. and dying from dehydration.
And I remember when they gave me my first jug of water, I told myself that I would never allow myself to feel that way again. And I never paid attention to how much water I drank before that, if I'm being honest. And I probably was walking around wildly dehydrated.
And if I'm being totally honest, before that time, I would tell people that I was really concerned about my health and wellness, but I wasn't taking a lot of actionable steps towards that. Since that day, It has been my goal to become violently efficient when it comes to my health and wellness. It is my priority. It is the foundation. And this ties us back into AG1.
I start my mornings by drinking water. But plain water is boring. I mean, I do it. But there are ways that you can make it better. And why not attack multiple things at the same time? And this is where AG1 comes in. For the last year, in my morning water, what I have been doing is filling it up with a scoop of AG1. And when you order, you're going to get one of these really cool containers.
You need to refrigerate this afterwards because there's some live things that are inside of this. I put it into my water bottle, I shake it up, and I slam it because I'm not looking to take 18 different supplements. I'm looking for efficiency and efficacy with what I do in my morning routine. Time is limited for everybody.
Why not with your morning water have a comprehensive and convenient daily nutrition with 75 vitamins, minerals, and whole food sourced ingredients made for just about everybody? That's what I'm looking for, and that's what I've done. It's just after the new year. A lot of people struck themselves on New Year's resolutions. A lot of people have health, wellness, fitness associated with that.

Chapter 3: Who was Master Sergeant Matthew Leibelsberger?
And I'm gonna touch on that in a minute here when I get to this, the critical point of what I'm trying to say when it comes to observing and assessing these types of situations. There was talk about China. There was talk about anti-gravity engines. There were talk about, you know, birder accounts and emails. And like I said, all of those things might be true.
And the talk of China and the anti-gravity engines, all those things probably came through that. But this brings me to my personal question and concern, and that is why – Why do people want those conspiracies to be true? This is the thing that rattles my brain a little bit that I don't understand.
I understand that some of them are very sticky and I understand that some of them can easily get your hooks into or can get their hooks into people, but it's optional. You have to participate in that and you have to allow that stickiness or those hooks to get into you to continue down that path. And this brings me to a principle or a thought process that has served me very, very well in life.
And before I say anything else, I'm not trying to insult anybody's intelligence. What I'm about to say is not something that I came up with. This is the way I have thought for the vast majority of my life. And probably 10 years ago, I found the actual description of this, which has existed and predated me by a long stretch. And quite simply, it is called Occam's razor.
I'm going to read what this is and explain why I think it is so important. So what is Occam's razor? This is coming straight off the internet. Occam's Razor is a principle of theory, construction, or evaluation, according to which other things equal explanations that posit fewer entities or fewer kinds of entities are to be preferred to explanations that posit more.
If you're anything like me, I don't know what the fuck that means. So I found an easier definition. This one makes a lot of sense. Occam's Razor is a problem-solving principle that states the simplest explanation is usually the best one. It is also known as the principle of parsimony. I don't really know what that last sentence means, but I liked the first one.
A problem-solving principle that states the simplest explanation is usually the best one. If there was something that stood on the other side of the road from conspiracy theories, That was the axis or as close to being the exact opposite from a conspiracy theory. I do believe it would be this approach, the Occam's razor approach. Again, I didn't come up with this.
I didn't even understand that the way that I generally viewed things had a name like this. So I am just sharing with people who may never have heard about this.
In the hopes that you can dig into it a little bit and that it can at least give you a moment of pause when you are presented with information like many people were, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people were in the last seven days. I think it can help and create a barrier for to conspiracy theories. And having said that, I understand why conspiracy theories are sticky.

Chapter 4: What is Occam's Razor and how does it relate to conspiracy theories?
I could help you with that if you want because it goes back to the birds and the bees. Well, if men and women are playing birds and bees, sometimes they get baby birds and bees. In this instance, the simplest explanation as to why the DNA may not match the child is
is that he would not be the first person that I am aware of, again, specifically in the SEAL community, that is raising a child as his own that isn't. Are they open and vocal about that? Almost always not. But that is a far more likely explanation than somebody being snatched up
by a government entity or an entity high up in our intelligence infrastructure and coordinating this whole affair of this is how we're going to do it, this is where we're going to do it, but he's going to be dead first, all of these things. There's another layer to this as well too. I get really weird emails. Not every day, but every week.
I mean, I'm talking emails from people who claim that they are in government testing facilities and that human research is being done on them and they want me to email whoever it is in charge or do what I can to turn off a device that they will list like a name and a frequency and a number with.
And the reason that they're there is because they hold information and they have information that they are unwilling to provide to that government agency, but they want to share it with me. And I read these emails and some of them are a little bit shocking.
I almost always, actually, I always do up to this point land on, I feel really bad for the person sending it because it's clear they're having a mental health break in crisis. It is possible that this man being a part of special operations for close to 20 years was read into some special access programs. that could have peripherally included China and anti-gravity and all of those things.
But if you take a second and you take a step back, anybody with experience in this world would realize that's really, really unlikely because it's not going to be a master sergeant in the army stationed in Stuttgart, Germany, that's actually going to likely be the holder of this information. That is, is it, is it possible? Yes. Is it probable? No, it is improbable.
You know, he's probably had a TS SCI clearance as I did when I was in and they, and there are clearances above that. And I believe TS SCI is a category one, two, three, and four. Who knows, as you get into those categories, you start getting right into programs. I was right into two programs, neither of which blew my hair back.
I'm not saying that there aren't ones out there that wouldn't blow your hair back, but But I was never exposed to, and this is while I was at a JSOC command, I was never exposed to programs or information rising to this level. If there is a program that is at that level, it is going to be so high up in the infrastructure of the military industrial complex and our information gathering apparatus.

Chapter 6: What are the dangers of conspiracy theories?
If you haven't heard of it, take a look at it. And the next time that you encounter something like this, Maybe just take a beat, literally metaphorically take a breath, sit down, and work your way through that simplest approach as opposed to emotionally attaching yourself to the more flashy approach. And that's all I have for today. Other than to end it with, again, my condolences to the family.
And anybody impacted by this with the cascading downstream effects, the death alone would be hard enough. The public nature of it, I can't even imagine. So my heart goes out to you guys. And that's all I have for this Friday. See you next week.
