Hello there friends, so I've just been thinking about incentives and

companies and and the yeah, like what what motivates people to havedifferent opinions and stuff like that. And I want to use myself as anexample here because I think it's a there's a lot of nuance with the waythat we kind of automatically think that people are have ulterior motives.

So, I created epic react to teach people how to learn react. And so my

question is did did I create epic react?And then say hey everybody it'sReact is amazing and like is my ulterior motive in telling people thatreact as awesome and they should use it so that I can sell courses or did Idiscover react and I got really excited about it and I and I just thinkthat it's a fantastic way to build it web applications and so as a resultof this I create epic reacts as well as all of my other material and stuff.

To convince people to use it just because I think that it's a really great

framework. And then I finance my my free work by selling.Epic React I cantell you that it's the latter but how do you know. You can't really trustmy word for it because my I could have an ulterior motive.

And I think this is the sort of thing that's really new on. So just to give

you another example, let's say that there's somebody who's really bullishon a particular stock. They maybe it's Apple or something. And so, theythey create a YouTube channel that just goes all on on and on and on abouthow great Apple is.

Now our did they create like what order did this happen in did they create

the channel and then they say,Wow this is a great way for me to get peopleto buy the stock. I'm gonna pump the stock up and then I'll my purchase ofthe stock will be worth a lot.

Or is it a kind of more of a combination where they are really bullish

about Apple so they buy a lot of stock and they're like man. I just this issuch an awesome company. I'm also going to start this YouTube channel totalk about why I think it's such a you know, a great investment orwhatever.

So anytime you see somebody who seems to have a conflict of interest.It's a

very very possible that that conflict of interest is the entire reason thattheir motivated to behave in the way that they're behaving or speak and saythe things that they're saying. It's entirely possible that there's thatbias and that's controlling everything.

But keep in mind like kind of walk history back a little bit and and think

okay, maybe they really have this solid conviction and that's what made itmotivated them to go and buy the stock or what motivated them to createthis thing and pump it up because they already had that conviction and theydon't maybe have an ulterior motive.
