i hold a record on the kobayashi maru. i’m the fastest person to ever say it was a no-win situation. they said, ā€œgeorge, we haven’t even finished explaining it yet.ā€ i said, ā€œdoesn’t matter. can’t be done.ā€ they accused me of cheating. there were hearings, inquiries.

While I was in the US I went to see the new Indiana Jones movie in a cinema. Im sad to report that Americans actually do clap and cheer DURING a movie. I couldn’t believe it. Absolutely unhinged behaviour.
