| Hi, everyone. | |
| I'm Dennis Prager. | |
| How are we doing on the mic, gentlemen? | |
| You like it? | |
| Touch it some more? | |
| Like that? | |
| There we go. | |
| Have a thought for you, my friends. | |
| Other than terrible pain and illness, what is it people most fear when they get older? | |
| Think about it. | |
| Sean, where is our thinking, our thinking music, our thinking theme? | |
| You know, the old tic-tac-tic-tac. | |
| That's it. | |
| Alright, that's pretty close. | |
| Not bad, not bad. | |
| Alright, the answer is not being able to take care of yourself. | |
| Correct? | |
| That's people's greatest fear. | |
| People don't fear dying. | |
| I mean, some people do, obviously. | |
| People lament it. | |
| It is sad. | |
| But it's the fear while living, let's put it that way, is I can't take care of myself. | |
| So this leads me to think about something. | |
| I was in Denmark last week, as you know. | |
| Well, as most of you know. | |
| I have a lecture there. | |
| And Scandinavians are constantly said to be the happiest people in the world. | |
| Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and though Finland is not considered specifically a Scandinavian country, its language is completely different from any other in the world. | |
| I know it's related to Hungarian, but that's irrelevant. | |
| If you're a philologist, that's fascinating, but otherwise it means nothing a Finn and a Hungarian. | |
| We cannot talk to each other with any understanding. | |
| So Finland is well, and people will say these are the happiest countries in the world. | |
| In fact, I'm going to Google that very notion right now so as to be completely the happiest countries in the world. | |
| Finland! | |
| There it is! | |
| Finland comes up as the number one Search item. | |
| Happiest countries in the world. | |
| World population review. | |
| And let's see, where's our list? | |
| Yep, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland. | |
| Let's see. | |
| Netherlands, Norway, Sweden. | |
| Okay, exactly what I said to you. |
