[00:00:25]  Hi, everyone.
[00:00:26]  I'm Dennis Prager.
[00:00:29]  How are we doing on the mic, gentlemen?
[00:00:30]  You like it?
[00:00:32]  Touch it some more?
[00:00:35]  Like that?
[00:00:37]  There we go.
[00:00:39]  Have a thought for you, my friends.
[00:00:42]  Other than terrible pain and illness, what is it people most fear when they get older?
[00:00:55]  Think about it.
[00:00:57]  Sean, where is our thinking, our thinking music, our thinking theme?
[00:01:03]  You know, the old tic-tac-tic-tac.
[00:01:07]  That's it.
[00:01:08]  Alright, that's pretty close.
[00:01:09]  Not bad, not bad.
[00:01:11]  Alright, the answer is not being able to take care of yourself.
[00:01:17]  Correct?
[00:01:18]  That's people's greatest fear.
[00:01:22]  People don't fear dying.
[00:01:26]  I mean, some people do, obviously.
[00:01:28]  People lament it.
[00:01:29]  It is sad.
[00:01:31]  But it's the fear while living, let's put it that way, is I can't take care of myself.
[00:01:40]  So this leads me to think about something.
[00:01:43]  I was in Denmark last week, as you know.
[00:01:46]  Well, as most of you know.
[00:01:50]  I have a lecture there.
[00:01:54]  And Scandinavians are constantly said to be the happiest people in the world.
[00:02:00]  Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and though Finland is not considered specifically a Scandinavian country, its language is completely different from any other in the world.
[00:02:12]  I know it's related to Hungarian, but that's irrelevant.
[00:02:16]  If you're a philologist, that's fascinating, but otherwise it means nothing a Finn and a Hungarian.
[00:02:22]  We cannot talk to each other with any understanding.
[00:02:27]  So Finland is well, and people will say these are the happiest countries in the world.
[00:02:33]  In fact, I'm going to Google that very notion right now so as to be completely the happiest countries in the world.
[00:02:47]  Finland!
[00:02:48]  There it is!
[00:02:49]  Finland comes up as the number one Search item.
[00:02:54]  Happiest countries in the world.
[00:02:56]  World population review.
[00:02:59]  And let's see, where's our list?
[00:03:02]  Yep, Finland, Denmark, Switzerland, Iceland.
[00:03:07]  Let's see.
[00:03:10]  Netherlands, Norway, Sweden.
[00:03:12]  Okay, exactly what I said to you.
