Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1307 Scott Adams： For Some Reason I Can't Put the Title in Here That I Want

00:00:00.000 Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum. 0.96

00:00:02.740 Hey, everybody.

00:00:04.080 Come on in.

00:00:04.960 Come on in.

00:00:05.800 Yeah, it's time.

00:00:07.220 The best time.

00:00:08.840 Every single time.

00:00:10.740 And it's called Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:12.700 And I think you're here for that.

00:00:14.900 But if you'd like to enjoy it to its maximum potential,

00:00:18.140 and I know you do,

00:00:18.900 you need a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:20.820 a tank or a chalice of time,

00:00:21.720 a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:24.640 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:26.380 I like coffee.

00:00:27.040 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:31.500 the dopamine hit of the day,

00:00:33.360 the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:36.180 It's called the simultaneous sip.

00:00:38.220 And watch what happens when you enjoy it.

00:00:40.680 You'll feel connected with people all over the world

00:00:43.060 doing the same thing at the same time.

00:00:45.540 Go.

00:00:49.840 Hold on.

00:00:50.840 Hold on.

00:00:52.060 I feel that there was somebody out there

00:00:53.920 who didn't participate.

00:00:57.040 Boy, you're going to regret that.

00:01:01.660 All right.

00:01:03.780 So there's been no Biden press conference for 47 days.

00:01:09.880 I'm going to make a prediction.

00:01:12.840 He will not have a solo press conference

00:01:15.400 until he leaves office in one year.

00:01:20.420 Here's why I predict one year.

00:01:22.500 First of all, it seems obvious that even his own team

00:01:27.720 needs to manage that situation,

00:01:31.440 if you know what I mean.

00:01:33.060 And by that situation,

00:01:35.260 I'm talking about the head area of the president.

00:01:39.280 You know, the interior skull part

00:01:41.440 where there's a brain-like thing.

00:01:44.620 You know they're just as worried as you are, right?

00:01:47.400 And indeed, I'm going to bet that his advisors

00:01:52.400 are maybe a little more worried than you are.

00:01:55.220 Now, here's the thing.

00:01:56.780 Suppose he left office in one month.

00:02:00.120 What would everybody say about Democrats?

00:02:03.460 They would say,

00:02:04.220 you, you devious people.

00:02:07.500 You knew he was failing.

00:02:09.460 You limped him across the finish line.

00:02:12.520 We'll never trust you again.

00:02:13.980 But, what if Biden goes a full year

00:02:19.000 and the history books can record one full year?

00:02:25.260 It feels different, doesn't it?

00:02:27.360 There's something about these big even numbers

00:02:29.760 that influence our minds.

00:02:32.460 If something is nine months,

00:02:34.140 you're like, eh, that's less than a year.

00:02:36.340 But if something is 12 months,

00:02:38.760 well, he lasted a year.

00:02:40.980 At least it was a year.

00:02:42.200 It feels completely different, doesn't it?

00:02:44.780 So I think for psychological reasons,

00:02:47.120 they're going to have to try to get him

00:02:48.580 to go at least a year.

00:02:51.260 Now, I saw online,

00:02:52.460 somebody claimed that

00:02:53.400 if Harris took over

00:02:55.800 and served more than two years

00:02:58.440 of Biden's term,

00:03:02.180 that she would not be eligible to run.

00:03:04.020 Is that true?

00:03:04.600 Could somebody give me a fact check on that?

00:03:06.480 Because that would be a factor.

00:03:08.020 You know, if they absolutely had to get him

00:03:09.980 to go two years

00:03:11.020 so that Kamala Harris could serve those two 0.99

00:03:13.940 plus maybe another four.

00:03:17.060 So I'm going to look at the comments.

00:03:19.300 I'm seeing people saying true.

00:03:21.500 I had never...

00:03:22.440 10-year max, somebody said.

00:03:27.740 Okay, so it looks like a thing.

00:03:29.640 So I'm going to stay with my one-year prediction

00:03:32.460 based on the fact that they're not going to be able

00:03:35.060 to get him to go two years.

00:03:36.560 Like, he just won't have enough left.

00:03:39.160 But if it goes a year and a half,

00:03:42.100 it's definitely going two.

00:03:44.520 If they can get him to a year and a half,

00:03:47.120 they're going to wait

00:03:48.400 that extra six months.

00:03:51.660 All right.

00:03:53.800 Have you wondered why it is

00:03:55.560 that 100% of the public

00:03:57.740 would like a more reliable voting system,

00:04:00.960 but it doesn't seem like it's happening?

00:04:04.800 There's not some big national conversation

00:04:07.220 involving the politicians

00:04:08.700 in which the news

00:04:10.480 and everybody's talking about

00:04:11.700 what's the best way to do it

00:04:13.120 and there's a state that's trying,

00:04:15.420 you know, trying one way

00:04:16.760 and we're all trying to improve things

00:04:19.240 and nothing like that's happening, right?

00:04:21.180 There definitely have been bills

00:04:22.720 that have been proposed

00:04:24.140 that have been turned down

00:04:26.260 for a variety of reasons,

00:04:27.820 even by Republicans.

00:04:29.160 So, what's going on?

00:04:32.300 What's going on?

00:04:33.820 Well, let me tell you

00:04:36.000 what I think is going on

00:04:37.200 and you're going to laugh

00:04:38.840 at how obvious it is

00:04:40.260 when I tell you.

00:04:42.560 Everybody who was elected

00:04:44.140 got elected with this system.

00:04:49.080 Do you see it yet?

00:04:51.020 100% of the people

00:04:52.400 who are elected officials

00:04:53.780 got elected

00:04:55.360 with the current system.

00:04:59.160 They're the last people

00:05:00.720 you should trust

00:05:01.540 to change it.

00:05:04.100 Literally,

00:05:04.740 if you looked at all

00:05:05.640 300, what,

00:05:06.640 million people

00:05:07.220 in the United States

00:05:08.100 and you said to yourself,

00:05:09.980 we need to choose somebody

00:05:11.160 to help fix our election system.

00:05:13.460 Is there anybody

00:05:14.400 we should rule out?

00:05:17.360 Yeah.

00:05:18.500 Everybody who got elected

00:05:19.720 by that system.

00:05:21.740 Because they're all the people

00:05:22.980 who don't want to change it.

00:05:24.820 Wouldn't you think?

00:05:25.660 Why would you change

00:05:27.360 the thing that's working

00:05:28.240 for you and not working

00:05:29.400 for your enemies?

00:05:31.020 Makes no sense.

00:05:32.880 So, until we can get

00:05:34.500 to the point where

00:05:35.200 we can at least admit

00:05:36.480 that the people

00:05:37.640 who are in charge

00:05:38.380 of fixing it

00:05:39.120 are the only ones

00:05:40.400 who don't want it fixed,

00:05:42.000 until we can come

00:05:43.380 to terms with that,

00:05:45.260 nothing's going to happen.

00:05:47.300 Right?

00:05:48.360 We're pretty fucking stupid

00:05:50.160 to put the only people

00:05:52.440 who don't want it to change

00:05:53.920 in charge of changing it

00:05:55.780 or in charge

00:05:57.140 of its integrity.

00:05:58.700 What could be dumber

00:05:59.480 than that?

00:06:00.880 Putting the criminals

00:06:02.160 in charge of guarding

00:06:03.440 the loot?

00:06:05.720 Literally.

00:06:06.400 There's nothing you can think

00:06:07.360 of that would be dumber

00:06:08.300 than putting the only people

00:06:10.240 who don't want to fix it

00:06:11.240 in charge of fixing it.

00:06:14.100 That's our current system.

00:06:17.060 And, in particular,

00:06:18.660 I kept reading

00:06:19.240 people's opinions

00:06:20.520 about, you know,

00:06:21.240 this or that

00:06:21.860 wouldn't work

00:06:22.620 or woodwork.

00:06:23.860 And, I feel like

00:06:25.080 the conversation

00:06:26.040 doesn't go anywhere

00:06:26.960 because it's never

00:06:28.320 going to matter

00:06:28.900 as long as the politicians

00:06:30.580 are in charge

00:06:31.220 of the systems.

00:06:36.320 Alright,

00:06:36.960 we'll talk more

00:06:37.740 about that in a minute.

00:06:38.860 I did hear from

00:06:39.960 somebody who claimed

00:06:40.880 to be an expert

00:06:41.500 or seemed to be,

00:06:44.320 speaking authoritatively,

00:06:45.800 that using

00:06:47.080 blockchain technology

00:06:48.720 wouldn't give you

00:06:51.100 the fix that you need.

00:06:52.480 In other words,

00:06:53.480 somebody made the claim,

00:06:54.560 who was a professor

00:06:55.180 at Stanford,

00:06:55.960 so somebody who's

00:06:56.840 got some credentials,

00:06:59.100 claimed that anybody

00:07:00.020 who's serious

00:07:00.780 about crypto stuff

00:07:02.160 knows that an election

00:07:04.040 system using blockchain

00:07:05.380 is a bad idea.

00:07:07.840 Well, I didn't know that.

00:07:10.360 Can somebody tell me

00:07:11.420 why that's a bad idea?

00:07:13.680 I'm certainly not saying

00:07:14.940 that that's the idea

00:07:16.200 that has to work.

00:07:17.780 It seems like you could do it

00:07:18.860 without blockchain,

00:07:20.160 but I've never heard

00:07:22.700 that blockchain

00:07:23.240 would make it worse.

00:07:26.520 Somebody says

00:07:27.220 it's not private.

00:07:28.060 Let's talk about that.

00:07:29.220 We do have a standard

00:07:30.340 that says you should

00:07:31.480 have a private vote

00:07:34.040 that nobody knows

00:07:35.520 who you voted for.

00:07:36.760 But let me ask you this.

00:07:37.780 Let's check that assumption.

00:07:39.560 Okay?

00:07:40.500 When was the last time

00:07:41.620 you didn't know

00:07:42.200 who somebody voted for?

00:07:43.320 Can you think of a time

00:07:46.860 when you didn't know

00:07:48.580 who all your friends

00:07:50.440 voted for?

00:07:52.980 It's kind of obvious.

00:07:55.040 Anybody who has

00:07:55.880 social media,

00:07:56.700 you know who they

00:07:57.360 voted for, right?

00:08:00.620 When was the last time

00:08:02.560 you were surprised?

00:08:04.740 Now, every now and then,

00:08:06.500 there'll be some Republican

00:08:07.660 who does a write-in

00:08:10.620 because they don't like

00:08:11.360 the candidate or something.

00:08:13.280 Does that matter?

00:08:14.660 Suppose somebody found out

00:08:16.300 that although you're

00:08:17.940 a Republican,

00:08:19.260 that one time

00:08:20.200 you didn't vote for Trump.

00:08:22.020 Are you in trouble?

00:08:24.880 I don't know.

00:08:26.600 I don't know.

00:08:29.760 So, I really,

00:08:31.700 I really don't understand

00:08:33.140 why we really care

00:08:34.640 if anybody knows

00:08:36.980 who you voted for.

00:08:37.660 So, I would,

00:08:39.260 I would simply

00:08:40.080 test that assumption

00:08:42.400 that anybody

00:08:43.320 really cares about it.

00:08:44.860 Somebody said

00:08:45.420 I could get fired.

00:08:46.700 You think they wouldn't?

00:08:48.340 Do you think that you're,

00:08:50.880 do you think they'd check?

00:08:53.120 Let's say,

00:08:54.660 let's say that everybody's vote

00:08:57.040 became public

00:08:58.860 just for a mental exercise.

00:09:02.580 And let's say

00:09:03.340 your employer finds out

00:09:04.500 you voted for

00:09:05.520 the wrong person.

00:09:08.340 Do you think

00:09:09.040 they'd fire you?

00:09:10.980 See, here's the problem.

00:09:14.740 First of all,

00:09:15.600 if somebody did fire you

00:09:16.680 for that,

00:09:17.100 they're a very bad company

00:09:18.400 and they're probably

00:09:20.440 going to go out of business

00:09:21.160 anyway.

00:09:21.640 So, it's better you left.

00:09:23.360 But,

00:09:24.180 if you knew

00:09:25.140 everybody's vote,

00:09:27.060 everybody would be

00:09:27.920 in trouble.

00:09:29.680 Would,

00:09:30.160 would 75 million people

00:09:32.840 lose their jobs?

00:09:34.760 I don't think so.

00:09:36.720 Now,

00:09:37.420 it could be

00:09:38.240 that companies

00:09:39.760 end up,

00:09:40.680 you know,

00:09:41.300 getting rid of the ones

00:09:42.300 they don't like

00:09:42.900 and hiring more

00:09:43.760 of the people

00:09:44.160 that they do.

00:09:45.400 But,

00:09:45.840 I don't see it

00:09:46.620 happening in some

00:09:47.400 massive way.

00:09:48.660 And it seems like

00:09:49.420 if a company

00:09:50.460 were to do that,

00:09:51.220 it would be bad

00:09:51.760 for them competitively.

00:09:53.480 Because,

00:09:53.920 if there was no problem

00:09:55.020 until they found out

00:09:56.120 who you voted for,

00:09:57.840 there wasn't a problem.

00:10:00.260 They would be

00:10:01.020 fixing a thing

00:10:02.440 that wasn't a problem.

00:10:04.240 So,

00:10:04.620 yeah,

00:10:04.980 it could happen.

00:10:05.840 People could get fired

00:10:06.780 if you found out

00:10:07.520 who they voted for.

00:10:08.960 But,

00:10:09.440 I can't see it

00:10:10.060 being a big problem.

00:10:11.960 I can see it

00:10:12.800 being a small problem,

00:10:14.060 but not a big one.

00:10:15.820 Anyway,

00:10:17.140 I won't talk you

00:10:18.740 out of your privacy.

00:10:19.920 If you can,

00:10:20.400 if you can keep it,

00:10:21.420 that'd be great.

00:10:22.900 All right.

00:10:25.780 So,

00:10:26.600 I hate that this

00:10:27.900 is the biggest story.

00:10:29.420 in the country.

00:10:30.960 You know what

00:10:31.420 I'm going to talk about,

00:10:32.220 right?

00:10:32.880 I have so far

00:10:33.940 tried to avoid

00:10:35.160 talking about

00:10:37.520 Harry and Meghan.

00:10:41.340 Oh my God,

00:10:42.480 is there anything

00:10:42.980 I don't want to talk

00:10:43.960 about more than that?

00:10:45.780 But,

00:10:46.740 I think we have to.

00:10:50.960 Because,

00:10:51.600 today's the day

00:10:52.240 we realize

00:10:52.900 that every story

00:10:54.240 is being viewed

00:10:55.340 through a racial filter.

00:10:57.300 Everything.

00:10:58.240 Everything's through

00:10:58.980 a racial filter now.

00:11:00.520 Now,

00:11:01.240 when I talk

00:11:01.760 about a filter,

00:11:03.260 I talk about

00:11:04.140 sort of a preferred

00:11:05.340 way of looking

00:11:06.240 at reality,

00:11:07.320 right?

00:11:08.880 It doesn't mean

00:11:09.760 the correct one

00:11:11.220 or the honest one.

00:11:12.120 When we choose

00:11:12.780 our filters,

00:11:13.620 we're making

00:11:14.300 practical decisions.

00:11:15.580 Hey,

00:11:15.800 does this filter

00:11:16.540 work better

00:11:17.320 than this other filter?

00:11:18.160 And the problem

00:11:19.240 is once your filter

00:11:20.420 gets really,

00:11:22.540 really overused,

00:11:25.300 none of the other

00:11:26.620 filters matter anymore.

00:11:28.260 All you can see

00:11:29.420 is race.

00:11:30.720 Now,

00:11:31.680 should we be

00:11:32.680 concerned

00:11:33.240 about racial

00:11:35.260 disparities

00:11:36.000 in our society?

00:11:37.520 Sure,

00:11:38.320 of course.

00:11:39.640 Yes,

00:11:40.260 yes,

00:11:40.540 we should be

00:11:41.020 concerned.

00:11:42.180 But,

00:11:43.140 does it therefore

00:11:44.840 follow logically

00:11:45.860 that that should be

00:11:47.300 our almost

00:11:48.840 exclusionary

00:11:50.040 single filter

00:11:51.180 on life?

00:11:52.380 Well,

00:11:53.020 if it were

00:11:53.560 our biggest problem,

00:11:55.280 maybe so.

00:11:57.320 Right?

00:11:57.640 If racial problems

00:11:59.360 were the biggest problem,

00:12:00.680 then, yeah,

00:12:01.340 we should be going

00:12:02.400 at it like it's

00:12:03.400 our biggest problem.

00:12:04.800 But what happens

00:12:05.860 if going at it

00:12:06.840 makes the problem

00:12:07.820 worse instead of better?

00:12:09.900 I've said this before,

00:12:11.400 you know,

00:12:11.660 if you've got

00:12:12.220 slavery,

00:12:13.340 you need to go

00:12:14.520 at that hard.

00:12:15.660 If you've got,

00:12:16.800 let's say,

00:12:17.440 the civil rights

00:12:18.100 problems of the 60s,

00:12:19.720 you've got to go

00:12:20.460 at that pretty hard.

00:12:22.160 But what if it's

00:12:23.180 stuff like

00:12:23.780 you think somebody

00:12:25.160 said something

00:12:25.960 or they're thinking

00:12:26.900 something

00:12:27.440 or maybe it's

00:12:29.480 in their mind

00:12:30.260 but you can't really

00:12:30.960 tell by their actions

00:12:31.940 but maybe they're

00:12:32.780 thinking it?

00:12:34.040 When you get

00:12:34.800 to that point,

00:12:36.920 and certainly

00:12:37.680 a lot of our conversation

00:12:39.100 is at that point,

00:12:40.180 some of it's still

00:12:40.880 the old-fashioned stuff

00:12:41.900 which we need to address,

00:12:43.420 but a lot of it

00:12:44.020 is just this,

00:12:45.220 who's thinking wrong?

00:12:47.480 When you get

00:12:47.980 to that point,

00:12:49.300 maybe you should

00:12:50.360 change your filter

00:12:51.220 and maybe

00:12:52.640 just ignoring it

00:12:54.420 for a while,

00:12:55.540 the smaller ones.

00:12:56.600 You don't ignore

00:12:57.260 the big stuff, right?

00:12:58.520 But the smaller stuff,

00:12:59.680 like this Megan

00:13:00.640 and Harry stuff,

00:13:02.800 I'm going to put this

00:13:03.420 in the smaller stuff

00:13:04.580 category.

00:13:06.460 All right?

00:13:06.800 Let me give you

00:13:07.780 an idea

00:13:08.240 of what...

00:13:10.960 So we had

00:13:11.600 everything in this.

00:13:12.580 So Oprah talked

00:13:13.380 to Harry and Megan

00:13:14.260 and everything from

00:13:15.940 there's, you know,

00:13:16.620 she was wearing

00:13:17.280 blood diamonds

00:13:18.060 the other day

00:13:18.820 and there's hypocrisy

00:13:20.040 because Megan says 0.92

00:13:21.380 she doesn't like grandeur

00:13:22.640 but she participates

00:13:23.880 in it.

00:13:25.360 But then the biggest thing,

00:13:27.400 the biggest news

00:13:28.220 that came out of that...

00:13:30.580 Oh, here's the...

00:13:31.440 Here's the second biggest thing.

00:13:35.400 So apparently

00:13:36.780 there's some question

00:13:38.280 about whether

00:13:39.040 Harry and Megan's kid

00:13:41.160 can become a prince.

00:13:43.360 Now I guess

00:13:43.740 the rules of the

00:13:44.840 royal family

00:13:45.540 don't allow that

00:13:46.580 because of the direction

00:13:48.200 of the bloodline.

00:13:49.740 So until something

00:13:51.440 changes

00:13:51.900 or their father

00:13:53.220 becomes

00:13:53.800 the king,

00:13:56.020 I guess,

00:13:56.740 the kid can't

00:13:58.220 get a title.

00:13:58.940 But that's just

00:13:59.600 the established rules.

00:14:00.940 But, of course,

00:14:03.000 Megan has sold that

00:14:04.020 to the public

00:14:04.640 as if it's because

00:14:06.200 the kid is 12% black.

00:14:10.360 All right.

00:14:12.160 Maybe that's why.

00:14:13.580 But here's the title

00:14:14.440 that he could have had,

00:14:15.820 Little Archie.

00:14:17.400 He could have been

00:14:18.160 the Earl of Dumbarton.

00:14:22.040 So instead of getting

00:14:23.220 a title as a prince,

00:14:24.760 the other option was

00:14:26.020 the Earl of Dumbarton.

00:14:27.440 Now,

00:14:33.020 if Archie were not

00:14:34.560 12% black,

00:14:36.800 do you think

00:14:37.340 that they would have

00:14:38.040 offered him

00:14:38.500 such an insulting title

00:14:39.900 that has dumb 0.86

00:14:40.560 right in the name of it?

00:14:42.580 The Earl of Dumbarton?

00:14:46.240 But he also could have been

00:14:47.680 Lord Archie,

00:14:50.740 Mountbaton,

00:14:52.720 Windsor.

00:14:53.960 So he could have been

00:14:54.600 a lord.

00:14:55.480 But I guess

00:14:55.960 they're going to wait

00:14:57.120 for the prince thing,

00:14:58.460 maybe.

00:15:00.240 All right.

00:15:01.320 But then Megan throws 1.00

00:15:03.320 the royal family

00:15:04.660 into the bus

00:15:05.180 by saying that

00:15:05.880 there was some kind

00:15:06.980 of conversation,

00:15:07.900 but we don't know

00:15:08.580 who was in it.

00:15:10.020 This is the fun part.

00:15:11.940 We don't know

00:15:12.660 who said this.

00:15:14.020 But somebody

00:15:14.940 in the royal family

00:15:16.000 was a little bit worried

00:15:18.080 about Little Archie

00:15:20.120 coming in

00:15:20.640 a little bit too brown.

00:15:22.460 And what would they do?

00:15:24.100 What would the royal family do?

00:15:25.700 if one of the royals

00:15:27.440 was just a little bit

00:15:29.400 too brown?

00:15:30.900 So of course,

00:15:32.060 racism is all over this.

00:15:33.740 But the funniest part

00:15:34.560 is that they won't say

00:15:35.460 who said it,

00:15:36.660 which makes the entire

00:15:37.760 royal family look

00:15:38.960 like a bunch of racists.

00:15:40.980 Now,

00:15:41.240 I'm not saying they're not.

00:15:42.820 I don't know them

00:15:43.920 at all.

00:15:45.560 But

00:15:45.980 here's what I say.

00:15:50.020 Then I think

00:15:50.800 Michael Knowles

00:15:52.000 in a tweet

00:15:52.740 summed it up

00:15:54.080 the best.

00:15:55.100 So Michael Knowles

00:15:56.000 said,

00:15:56.800 a Hollywood actress

00:15:57.680 is complaining

00:15:58.420 to a billionaire

00:15:59.220 talk show host

00:16:00.300 about how much

00:16:01.500 she regrets

00:16:02.080 becoming a princess.

00:16:03.760 And according

00:16:04.600 to our insane culture,

00:16:06.320 she actually

00:16:06.920 is a victim.

00:16:08.840 That is the best

00:16:09.900 summary of this

00:16:10.840 whole situation

00:16:11.640 I've ever heard.

00:16:12.900 the fact that

00:16:14.000 any of these people

00:16:14.820 are considering

00:16:15.400 themselves victims?

00:16:18.080 I guess you

00:16:19.100 never met a real victim.

00:16:22.000 Here's what I think

00:16:22.900 the country needs.

00:16:24.200 I think we need

00:16:24.920 to be smarter

00:16:25.980 about what filter

00:16:27.040 we put on everything.

00:16:28.360 You're going to see

00:16:28.900 that the rest of the news

00:16:30.120 is all about

00:16:30.900 racism, racism.

00:16:32.480 And I'm not saying

00:16:33.260 racism isn't important.

00:16:34.780 I'm saying

00:16:35.100 if it's your only filter,

00:16:37.080 you're not going to

00:16:37.700 get what you want,

00:16:39.060 which is,

00:16:39.560 you know,

00:16:39.860 better life,

00:16:40.820 happiness,

00:16:41.360 and all that stuff.

00:16:41.860 So I think

00:16:42.840 the other filters

00:16:43.540 which are better

00:16:44.200 are economics.

00:16:45.480 Looking at everything

00:16:46.240 through a money filter

00:16:47.600 is fairly revealing,

00:16:50.160 right?

00:16:51.520 Looking at things

00:16:52.740 through a success

00:16:53.540 versus failure filter,

00:16:55.460 what works

00:16:56.080 and what doesn't.

00:16:57.200 Looking at it

00:16:57.840 as systems

00:16:58.620 versus goals.

00:17:00.540 Systems

00:17:01.000 versus goals.

00:17:02.740 Take the

00:17:04.040 George Floyd

00:17:05.700 trial,

00:17:06.380 which starts today.

00:17:07.760 Black Lives Matter

00:17:08.520 protesters have

00:17:09.360 already surrounded it,

00:17:10.640 and they're

00:17:12.100 calling for

00:17:13.380 a certain outcome.

00:17:15.120 Now,

00:17:15.600 if you're calling

00:17:16.100 for an outcome,

00:17:17.460 are you respecting

00:17:18.540 the system

00:17:19.200 or do you just

00:17:20.920 want a certain outcome?

00:17:22.520 And it's pretty clear

00:17:23.520 to me that these

00:17:24.200 are people who see

00:17:24.960 the world through

00:17:25.560 a racial filter

00:17:26.600 and so they want

00:17:28.240 an outcome

00:17:28.980 which agrees

00:17:29.960 with their racial

00:17:30.880 view of the world,

00:17:32.640 whereas other people

00:17:33.460 are saying,

00:17:34.020 shouldn't we be

00:17:35.180 more concerned

00:17:35.940 about the

00:17:36.620 judicial system

00:17:38.260 working properly?

00:17:40.820 And then whatever

00:17:41.360 comes out of it

00:17:42.120 is what comes out.

00:17:43.380 But shouldn't

00:17:43.920 the system

00:17:44.640 be where you're

00:17:45.980 sort of putting

00:17:46.620 your energy?

00:17:48.580 So I would say

00:17:49.700 let's put the

00:17:50.320 systems filter

00:17:51.200 on that

00:17:51.700 and also a game

00:17:52.500 strategy.

00:17:53.820 You know,

00:17:54.040 you should be

00:17:54.440 looking at life

00:17:55.220 as to what

00:17:56.460 gives you

00:17:56.880 the advantage.

00:17:58.600 Don't look at it

00:17:59.520 just as

00:18:00.020 racial equality.

00:18:01.720 What gives you

00:18:02.520 more than equality?

00:18:04.360 If you're black, 1.00

00:18:05.220 why would you

00:18:05.680 settle for being

00:18:06.400 equal?

00:18:07.900 Why would you

00:18:08.600 settle for that?

00:18:09.920 Because as an

00:18:10.560 individual,

00:18:11.780 you can do

00:18:12.340 better than that.

00:18:13.400 You don't have

00:18:13.900 to be average.

00:18:15.240 You don't have

00:18:16.000 to meet the

00:18:16.980 average of

00:18:18.300 what white people

00:18:19.000 do.

00:18:19.620 Why wouldn't

00:18:20.080 you be shooting

00:18:20.620 well about that?

00:18:21.820 So even having

00:18:22.580 a goal of

00:18:23.600 equality is

00:18:25.000 the wrong

00:18:25.380 filter.

00:18:27.260 You know,

00:18:27.580 do you know

00:18:27.980 what filter

00:18:28.600 my parents

00:18:29.260 gave me?

00:18:30.900 Inequality.

00:18:32.580 Inequality.

00:18:33.900 My mother

00:18:34.640 said to me

00:18:35.280 directly and

00:18:36.240 often,

00:18:37.100 life isn't

00:18:37.840 fair,

00:18:38.880 make sure

00:18:39.960 you get on

00:18:40.360 the right

00:18:40.640 side of

00:18:41.000 that.

00:18:42.500 She used

00:18:43.120 different words,

00:18:44.320 but she would

00:18:44.760 say it all

00:18:45.100 the time.

00:18:45.400 Life isn't

00:18:45.860 fair.

00:18:47.000 Make sure

00:18:47.400 you're

00:18:48.360 fighting to

00:18:48.880 get your

00:18:49.280 peace.

00:18:50.580 Because it's

00:18:51.100 not going to

00:18:51.440 be given to

00:18:51.980 you because

00:18:52.400 it's fair.

00:18:53.920 You've got to

00:18:54.400 go out and

00:18:54.820 get it.

00:18:56.060 So when I

00:18:56.640 see black

00:18:57.060 people arguing

00:18:57.900 for equity,

00:18:59.820 equality,

00:19:00.700 fairness,

00:19:01.240 I say to

00:19:01.640 myself,

00:19:02.620 you're kind

00:19:03.180 of selling

00:19:03.660 yourself short

00:19:04.400 there.

00:19:05.640 What is it

00:19:06.520 that you're

00:19:06.940 thinking that

00:19:07.500 would keep

00:19:08.520 you from

00:19:08.920 doing better

00:19:09.460 than average?

00:19:10.500 Or at

00:19:11.160 least, you

00:19:12.240 know, that

00:19:13.320 should be an

00:19:14.160 ambition.

00:19:16.720 Certainly mine

00:19:17.340 was.

00:19:18.140 I never

00:19:18.860 started life

00:19:19.580 thinking, I'm

00:19:20.760 going to be

00:19:21.040 average.

00:19:22.000 If I can only

00:19:22.940 get up to the

00:19:24.360 average of what

00:19:25.140 white people do,

00:19:26.480 man, I've

00:19:27.220 made it.

00:19:27.660 no, no,

00:19:30.520 don't fight

00:19:31.340 for equal.

00:19:32.620 If you're

00:19:33.240 fighting for

00:19:33.740 equal, you're

00:19:34.220 just fighting

00:19:34.540 for the

00:19:34.820 wrong stuff.

00:19:36.000 Fight for

00:19:36.320 better.

00:19:37.740 All right.

00:19:40.240 Trump says

00:19:41.020 he's going to

00:19:41.500 work to

00:19:42.040 unseat

00:19:42.840 Alaska's

00:19:44.260 Murkowski,

00:19:45.380 Senator

00:19:45.660 Murkowski,

00:19:46.280 calling her

00:19:46.740 disloyal.

00:19:48.980 Now, what

00:19:49.600 do you think

00:19:49.860 of that?

00:19:50.140 What do you

00:19:50.660 think of

00:19:50.940 Trump targeting

00:19:52.040 somebody who

00:19:53.500 sometimes votes

00:19:54.360 the other way?

00:19:55.040 it's a

00:19:56.820 really, really

00:19:57.560 good strategy.

00:20:02.120 Let me tell

00:20:02.900 you why.

00:20:03.480 I've told you

00:20:03.900 this before,

00:20:04.440 but every time

00:20:04.900 you see Trump

00:20:05.420 do it, it's

00:20:07.060 worth calling

00:20:07.640 it out.

00:20:08.440 If you want

00:20:09.220 to be

00:20:09.480 influential, it

00:20:11.540 really helps

00:20:12.120 to compliment

00:20:13.080 people who are

00:20:14.000 on your team.

00:20:15.400 Oh, that's

00:20:16.300 Senator Lindsey

00:20:17.120 Graham.

00:20:17.600 He's a great

00:20:18.180 guy.

00:20:18.920 I love

00:20:19.440 Senator Graham.

00:20:20.500 He's on my

00:20:21.060 team.

00:20:22.120 But that's

00:20:22.920 only half of

00:20:23.600 it.

00:20:23.780 you have

00:20:25.120 to actually

00:20:25.560 destroy the

00:20:27.480 people who

00:20:27.980 are on the

00:20:28.360 other side

00:20:28.820 against you.

00:20:29.760 It's not good

00:20:30.580 enough that you

00:20:31.060 just say,

00:20:31.460 ah, they're

00:20:31.920 wrong, blah,

00:20:32.600 blah, blah.

00:20:33.480 You want to

00:20:34.140 make the

00:20:34.480 biggest difference

00:20:35.880 between being

00:20:36.960 on your side

00:20:37.820 and being

00:20:38.860 against you.

00:20:39.980 If you're on

00:20:40.660 his side, you

00:20:42.120 get all these

00:20:42.640 praise and all

00:20:43.960 that access,

00:20:44.840 et cetera.

00:20:45.480 And if you're

00:20:45.980 against him,

00:20:46.580 he's going to

00:20:46.940 put you out of

00:20:47.520 business.

00:20:48.720 He's not just

00:20:49.500 going to ignore

00:20:50.080 you.

00:20:50.640 He's going to

00:20:51.220 put you out of

00:20:51.940 freaking business.

00:20:53.780 That's the

00:20:54.520 biggest difference

00:20:55.700 between making

00:20:56.360 him happy and

00:20:57.040 making him

00:20:57.480 unhappy.

00:20:58.560 What other

00:20:59.060 politician does

00:21:00.020 that?

00:21:01.520 None.

00:21:03.100 None.

00:21:03.940 Nobody else

00:21:04.540 does that.

00:21:05.500 And what do

00:21:05.980 we say about

00:21:06.600 Trump?

00:21:07.440 Now the data

00:21:08.500 supports the

00:21:09.200 fact that he's

00:21:10.280 the most

00:21:10.780 persuasive

00:21:11.720 politician.

00:21:13.840 That's one of

00:21:14.760 the techniques.

00:21:15.460 I saw my

00:21:16.840 co-worker who

00:21:18.120 became the

00:21:18.620 model for

00:21:19.100 the Alice

00:21:19.700 character in

00:21:20.420 the Dilbert

00:21:21.000 comic.

00:21:22.620 She used

00:21:23.380 that technique.

00:21:24.520 If you did

00:21:25.100 something for

00:21:25.880 her at work,

00:21:27.080 she would buy

00:21:27.660 flowers for you

00:21:28.600 at work and

00:21:30.160 give them to

00:21:30.720 you and then

00:21:31.340 tell your boss

00:21:32.120 that I just

00:21:33.500 gave flowers to

00:21:34.200 your employee,

00:21:34.800 such a great

00:21:35.300 employee.

00:21:36.160 Man, you

00:21:36.480 should think

00:21:37.300 about promoting

00:21:38.600 that employee

00:21:39.240 who just helped

00:21:39.840 me out or

00:21:40.500 maybe giving

00:21:41.080 a raise.

00:21:42.800 Do you think

00:21:43.560 that employee

00:21:44.140 would help

00:21:44.720 you?

00:21:45.460 her the

00:21:46.000 next time?

00:21:47.280 Yeah.

00:21:48.200 Yeah.

00:21:49.200 She got a

00:21:49.940 promotion out

00:21:50.660 of it.

00:21:51.380 And it wasn't

00:21:51.900 even her boss.

00:21:53.680 She'd still 0.92

00:21:54.120 get a promotion

00:21:54.700 out of it,

00:21:55.500 or almost.

00:21:57.820 But if

00:21:58.920 anybody went

00:21:59.460 against her,

00:22:00.340 she would go

00:22:00.760 to their boss

00:22:01.340 and tell them

00:22:01.920 they should be

00:22:02.400 fired.

00:22:04.620 Literally.

00:22:05.600 Yeah, you

00:22:06.020 should just

00:22:06.340 get rid of

00:22:06.760 this person.

00:22:07.420 They're just

00:22:07.760 slowing everything

00:22:08.440 down.

00:22:08.860 I can't get

00:22:09.300 anything done.

00:22:10.220 You should

00:22:10.480 just fire this

00:22:11.120 person.

00:22:12.180 And that was

00:22:12.860 the Trump

00:22:13.240 strategy, the

00:22:13.940 biggest difference

00:22:14.560 between happy

00:22:15.440 and unhappy.

00:22:16.260 All right.

00:22:18.620 Let's talk

00:22:19.260 about the

00:22:19.620 George Floyd

00:22:20.360 trial.

00:22:22.520 I don't see

00:22:23.460 any other

00:22:24.000 way this

00:22:24.500 can go.

00:22:26.040 I think

00:22:26.540 there will

00:22:26.980 not be

00:22:27.400 any murder

00:22:28.060 conviction

00:22:28.580 of any

00:22:29.300 degree of

00:22:30.020 murder.

00:22:31.080 And here's

00:22:31.580 my take

00:22:32.560 on it.

00:22:32.980 We know

00:22:33.420 that he had

00:22:33.880 fentanyl in

00:22:34.620 his system,

00:22:35.680 and that

00:22:36.580 should be

00:22:37.040 enough cause

00:22:40.380 for doubt.

00:22:41.980 Now, what

00:22:42.520 about the

00:22:43.220 knee that

00:22:44.560 was on

00:22:44.980 George Floyd's

00:22:45.780 neck?

00:22:46.680 Well, I'd

00:22:47.260 like to do a

00:22:47.800 demonstration for

00:22:48.580 you because a

00:22:49.300 lot of people

00:22:49.680 said they saw

00:22:50.340 that on video

00:22:51.060 and it was

00:22:52.340 obvious to

00:22:52.940 them, because

00:22:53.780 you just look

00:22:54.280 at the video,

00:22:55.720 that his neck

00:22:57.080 was being

00:22:57.560 compressed at

00:22:58.860 the same time

00:22:59.520 he was

00:22:59.760 complaining about

00:23:00.540 not being able

00:23:01.260 to breathe.

00:23:01.920 And so I

00:23:03.120 don't want you

00:23:03.500 to be scared,

00:23:04.200 but I'm

00:23:04.420 going to do

00:23:04.660 a little

00:23:04.880 demonstration

00:23:05.320 for you

00:23:05.880 right live,

00:23:07.940 in which I'm

00:23:08.840 going to...

00:23:10.760 Okay.

00:23:12.100 Now, don't be

00:23:12.800 afraid.

00:23:13.880 I have my

00:23:14.640 hand tightly

00:23:15.260 around my

00:23:15.960 neck.

00:23:16.960 I'm squeezing

00:23:17.440 pretty hard,

00:23:18.700 but I'm not

00:23:20.280 really that

00:23:21.000 close to dying.

00:23:22.440 It looks like

00:23:23.120 it, doesn't

00:23:24.360 it?

00:23:24.800 Because I am

00:23:25.880 actually squeezing

00:23:26.620 really hard.

00:23:28.840 But I don't

00:23:31.000 feel like I

00:23:31.660 can't breathe.

00:23:32.800 I've got a

00:23:33.260 little asthma.

00:23:37.900 Pretty good.

00:23:39.180 How about if

00:23:39.720 I did it a

00:23:40.360 different way?

00:23:43.700 I'm pressing

00:23:44.440 as hard as I

00:23:45.080 can.

00:23:45.180 I'm actually

00:23:45.720 literally pressing

00:23:46.580 as hard as I

00:23:47.260 can on my

00:23:48.500 neck with both

00:23:49.100 hands.

00:23:50.720 And I seem

00:23:52.440 to be able to

00:23:52.960 breathe just

00:23:53.660 fine.

00:23:55.460 Now, do you

00:23:58.140 think that the

00:23:59.160 purpose of the

00:24:00.460 knee hold, 0.97

00:24:01.660 when a cop

00:24:02.320 uses it?

00:24:03.080 Because apparently

00:24:03.580 the procedures

00:24:04.860 do describe

00:24:05.680 this as an

00:24:06.720 allowed police

00:24:07.580 procedure in

00:24:08.340 some places.

00:24:09.520 Maybe not

00:24:10.020 everywhere.

00:24:10.340 Do you think

00:24:11.200 that the

00:24:11.540 procedure is to

00:24:12.500 put your

00:24:12.800 knee on a

00:24:14.700 neck so hard

00:24:16.540 that the person

00:24:17.260 can't breathe?

00:24:19.520 Do you believe

00:24:20.640 that that's the

00:24:22.140 purpose of the

00:24:22.840 hold?

00:24:23.060 to reduce the

00:24:24.840 breathing?

00:24:26.100 Because it

00:24:26.740 doesn't look like

00:24:27.500 it.

00:24:27.740 I'm no expert.

00:24:29.000 But it looks to

00:24:29.720 me like putting

00:24:31.600 a control around

00:24:34.620 something that's

00:24:35.460 hard for a person

00:24:36.360 to get out of.

00:24:37.560 You're just sort of

00:24:38.400 controlling it so

00:24:39.420 they can't get up.

00:24:42.280 Am I wrong?

00:24:44.640 Somebody says he

00:24:45.560 was cutting off his

00:24:46.580 carotid artery.

00:24:49.360 Well, it didn't

00:24:51.620 look like it to

00:24:52.240 me.

00:24:53.080 To me it looked

00:24:53.820 like his knee was

00:24:54.980 simply creating a

00:24:56.660 cage, if you will,

00:24:58.560 for his head.

00:25:00.180 Which I'm sure

00:25:01.580 would be the

00:25:02.220 actual purpose of

00:25:03.300 the technique.

00:25:04.460 I don't believe the

00:25:05.580 purpose of the

00:25:06.300 technique is to cut

00:25:07.240 off his air

00:25:07.820 supply.

00:25:08.220 So, if he did

00:25:11.280 it wrong, well,

00:25:12.840 maybe there's

00:25:13.320 something to talk

00:25:13.940 about, but I

00:25:14.540 didn't see anything

00:25:15.120 that looked wrong.

00:25:16.280 It looked like a

00:25:17.040 standard making

00:25:18.360 sure he can't get

00:25:19.080 up kind of thing.

00:25:20.380 Yeah, the knee was

00:25:21.100 acting as a barrier

00:25:22.080 as opposed to

00:25:23.720 trying to reduce

00:25:24.940 his air.

00:25:25.980 If you, and of

00:25:28.440 course, Floyd was

00:25:29.300 talking.

00:25:30.660 So the fact that

00:25:31.600 he could talk

00:25:32.800 sort of suggests

00:25:34.700 there was some

00:25:35.100 air coming through.

00:25:36.200 Now, did the

00:25:37.100 fentanyl kill him?

00:25:38.220 Well, we don't

00:25:38.900 know, but we

00:25:40.280 know that fentanyl

00:25:41.220 kills exactly that

00:25:42.720 way.

00:25:43.980 Exactly that way.

00:25:45.360 And that he had it

00:25:46.220 in his system.

00:25:48.360 Now, I'm going to

00:25:49.080 throw in another

00:25:49.940 wrinkle here that

00:25:51.000 you hadn't thought

00:25:51.540 of.

00:25:53.180 I talk about

00:25:54.180 filters biasing

00:25:55.660 you to see

00:25:56.420 something through

00:25:57.040 the filter.

00:25:57.980 But you can also

00:25:58.900 be biased by an

00:26:00.860 analogy.

00:26:02.460 In other words,

00:26:03.100 there could be

00:26:03.480 something else

00:26:04.060 happening in

00:26:04.640 society that sort

00:26:06.560 of primes your

00:26:07.620 mind.

00:26:08.220 for a completely

00:26:09.160 unrelated situation.

00:26:11.560 And that's

00:26:11.920 happening right

00:26:12.540 now.

00:26:13.220 And it looks

00:26:13.940 like this.

00:26:15.620 We are declaring

00:26:17.000 that people are

00:26:17.600 dying of

00:26:18.140 coronavirus or

00:26:19.540 COVID if they

00:26:21.560 have a

00:26:21.920 comorbidity.

00:26:23.460 So we're saying,

00:26:24.820 yeah, sure, you

00:26:26.300 also had, you

00:26:27.340 know, some

00:26:27.760 diabetes and

00:26:28.680 stuff, but

00:26:29.480 what killed you

00:26:30.140 was the

00:26:31.180 COVID.

00:26:32.080 That's the

00:26:32.680 cause of

00:26:33.580 death.

00:26:33.840 So you

00:26:36.640 take that

00:26:37.120 analogy, which

00:26:38.120 has nothing to

00:26:39.000 do with George

00:26:39.660 Floyd, right?

00:26:40.440 Let's agree

00:26:41.040 they're completely

00:26:42.700 separate, right?

00:26:44.120 You should not

00:26:44.980 be using anything

00:26:45.840 about one to

00:26:47.140 make a decision

00:26:47.800 on the other.

00:26:49.000 But our

00:26:50.720 brains don't

00:26:51.260 work that way.

00:26:52.520 Our brains

00:26:53.100 can't make a

00:26:54.340 clean difference

00:26:55.260 between things

00:26:56.720 happening.

00:26:57.100 They all

00:26:58.120 just sort of

00:26:58.800 conflate.

00:27:00.100 We can't

00:27:00.400 help it. 0.77

00:27:01.340 They just

00:27:01.720 sort of

00:27:02.040 conflate.

00:27:03.540 And so I

00:27:04.140 wonder if a

00:27:05.100 juror who's

00:27:05.880 watched half

00:27:07.880 a million people

00:27:08.760 be labeled as

00:27:10.680 death by

00:27:11.720 coronavirus,

00:27:13.140 knowing that

00:27:13.900 almost every

00:27:14.760 one of them

00:27:15.180 had at least

00:27:15.720 one other

00:27:16.300 thing that

00:27:16.760 could have

00:27:17.020 killed them, 0.87

00:27:18.280 weight,

00:27:19.020 diabetes,

00:27:19.720 whatever,

00:27:20.920 I think

00:27:23.060 that will

00:27:24.480 influence people.

00:27:26.000 And I think

00:27:26.460 that there

00:27:26.760 would be more

00:27:27.600 likely to see

00:27:28.520 the fentanyl

00:27:29.360 as a cause

00:27:30.980 than they

00:27:31.540 would have

00:27:31.820 been if they

00:27:32.400 had not

00:27:32.680 been primed

00:27:33.420 by half a

00:27:34.520 million American

00:27:35.220 deaths that

00:27:36.260 were attributed

00:27:36.900 to the virus

00:27:38.580 as opposed to

00:27:39.640 the other

00:27:40.100 things going

00:27:40.720 on, right?

00:27:42.700 Doesn't make

00:27:43.320 sense.

00:27:44.360 There's no

00:27:44.940 logic to it,

00:27:45.720 but our brains

00:27:46.500 are not logic

00:27:47.240 machines.

00:27:47.820 We see patterns

00:27:48.580 and we overuse

00:27:49.940 the patterns.

00:27:50.780 That's why

00:27:51.160 racism exists,

00:27:52.400 because we see

00:27:53.300 patterns but we're

00:27:54.060 not that good

00:27:54.640 at it, right?

00:27:55.400 So we've got

00:27:58.980 that going

00:27:59.400 on.

00:28:00.180 I would

00:28:00.520 contend that

00:28:01.440 although I have

00:28:02.420 never been to

00:28:03.020 law school,

00:28:03.800 I could get

00:28:04.400 that cop off

00:28:06.240 kind of easily.

00:28:09.060 I don't even

00:28:09.880 think this is a

00:28:10.580 hard case.

00:28:11.560 Do you?

00:28:12.420 Now, there could

00:28:13.220 be an issue

00:28:13.740 that the jury

00:28:14.620 just, they're

00:28:16.280 influenced by the

00:28:17.340 filters of racism

00:28:18.380 and they don't

00:28:19.280 really care if he's

00:28:20.240 guilty or not,

00:28:20.960 they just want a

00:28:22.140 certain result.

00:28:23.300 That's possible.

00:28:24.480 But can you get

00:28:25.100 12 people like

00:28:25.980 that?

00:28:27.080 I don't think

00:28:27.860 you can get

00:28:28.340 12 people to

00:28:31.340 convict this

00:28:32.560 guy.

00:28:33.520 Now, and

00:28:35.340 even the

00:28:35.760 manslaughter

00:28:36.320 sort of assumes

00:28:37.940 that he was

00:28:38.420 acting recklessly,

00:28:40.140 but I don't

00:28:41.440 know, I watched

00:28:42.040 the video and I

00:28:46.300 feel as though

00:28:47.060 George Floyd

00:28:47.780 probably would

00:28:48.700 have died then

00:28:49.500 no matter what

00:28:50.180 they did.

00:28:50.640 because if he

00:28:52.020 didn't die

00:28:52.600 because of the

00:28:53.200 pressure on him,

00:28:54.580 if he died

00:28:55.500 because of the

00:28:56.080 fentanyl, he

00:28:57.300 only had a few

00:28:58.080 minutes anyway,

00:28:59.400 right?

00:28:59.820 Unfortunately.

00:29:01.240 Now, if

00:29:02.180 anybody's new

00:29:03.120 to this

00:29:04.720 broadcast, my

00:29:05.480 stepson died

00:29:07.020 of an overdose

00:29:07.780 which included

00:29:08.680 fentanyl, of

00:29:09.540 course, in

00:29:10.880 2018.

00:29:11.900 So, unfortunately,

00:29:12.800 I know a little

00:29:13.520 bit too much

00:29:14.120 about this topic

00:29:15.480 and all you'd

00:29:17.480 have to do is

00:29:18.120 describe to the

00:29:18.980 jury how much

00:29:20.120 fentanyl kills

00:29:21.080 people.

00:29:21.880 50,000 to 70,000

00:29:23.160 people a year

00:29:24.120 dying exactly

00:29:25.200 this way.

00:29:27.320 And then, this

00:29:28.700 is sort of a

00:29:29.200 sideshow, but

00:29:29.780 apparently Floyd

00:29:31.840 actually had

00:29:32.740 coronavirus too.

00:29:34.500 So he actually

00:29:35.240 had COVID-19.

00:29:37.120 Now, nobody

00:29:37.660 thinks that that

00:29:38.280 killed him because

00:29:38.900 he was young and

00:29:39.580 healthy.

00:29:40.280 Now, the other

00:29:40.800 thing that you

00:29:41.240 would have to

00:29:41.620 prove, I think,

00:29:43.800 is that there

00:29:45.000 was some reason

00:29:45.960 that the cops

00:29:47.580 would kill this

00:29:48.360 guy as opposed

00:29:49.880 to anybody

00:29:50.920 else they

00:29:51.340 stopped.

00:29:52.020 And the

00:29:52.400 reason, of

00:29:52.840 course, would

00:29:53.160 be racism,

00:29:53.820 right?

00:29:54.340 So the

00:29:54.820 presumed motive

00:29:57.200 of either

00:29:58.040 killing him or

00:29:59.160 if you prefer

00:30:00.080 not killing him

00:30:02.880 but rather being

00:30:03.720 reckless,

00:30:05.240 whichever it

00:30:05.960 was,

00:30:07.200 you assume

00:30:10.400 that the

00:30:11.440 reason that the

00:30:12.300 jury will be

00:30:12.980 presented with is

00:30:13.880 that there was

00:30:14.340 some racial

00:30:14.860 motive.

00:30:16.580 But let's

00:30:18.180 use a little

00:30:18.640 common sense

00:30:19.280 here.

00:30:20.820 Isn't it size

00:30:22.180 that was the

00:30:23.100 problem?

00:30:24.860 Wasn't it the

00:30:25.720 fact that the

00:30:26.340 cops were all

00:30:27.440 smallish, that

00:30:29.160 none of the

00:30:29.560 cops were big

00:30:30.220 guys, but

00:30:31.580 George Floyd

00:30:32.200 was a really

00:30:32.780 big guy, and

00:30:34.920 muscular too.

00:30:35.820 He looks like

00:30:36.800 I saw something

00:30:38.520 that compared him

00:30:39.240 to looking like

00:30:39.840 LeBron James,

00:30:41.400 like he's a big

00:30:42.120 substantial guy.

00:30:43.620 Now, if he

00:30:44.260 were a big

00:30:44.760 substantial guy

00:30:45.760 of any other

00:30:46.660 race, and the

00:30:48.020 cops were three

00:30:48.840 small guys, and

00:30:50.480 he was not

00:30:51.080 cooperating

00:30:51.820 physically,

00:30:53.660 isn't size the

00:30:56.440 problem?

00:30:58.280 Isn't it?

00:30:59.400 And I've often

00:31:00.280 wondered that,

00:31:01.300 see, nobody's

00:31:02.280 willing to say

00:31:02.800 this because it

00:31:03.480 sounds racist, so

00:31:04.840 you have to word

00:31:05.420 it as carefully

00:31:06.120 as you possibly

00:31:06.820 can, but do

00:31:08.300 you think that

00:31:09.380 do you think

00:31:12.260 there's any

00:31:12.660 difference in

00:31:13.360 the physical,

00:31:14.500 let's say,

00:31:15.620 physical capability

00:31:17.040 of different

00:31:18.460 groups who get

00:31:19.160 stopped by the

00:31:19.760 police?

00:31:20.600 I think so.

00:31:22.480 I think if you

00:31:23.220 stop, some

00:31:24.640 people, they

00:31:25.120 look stronger and

00:31:26.060 bigger, so

00:31:27.160 they're scarier,

00:31:28.480 and you would

00:31:29.160 use a different

00:31:30.280 process to

00:31:31.060 control them.

00:31:31.920 So somebody

00:31:32.420 said to me,

00:31:33.500 hey, you know,

00:31:35.040 he was

00:31:35.420 complaining that

00:31:36.140 he couldn't

00:31:36.460 breathe for

00:31:37.000 eight minutes,

00:31:37.620 so therefore

00:31:39.640 it's obviously

00:31:40.380 murder.

00:31:42.120 If he's

00:31:42.740 complaining that

00:31:43.400 he's dying and

00:31:44.080 they don't do

00:31:44.460 anything about it,

00:31:44.980 it's obviously

00:31:45.420 murder.

00:31:46.860 To which I

00:31:47.640 say, what

00:31:48.560 were they

00:31:48.820 supposed to

00:31:49.240 do?

00:31:50.860 What were

00:31:51.440 they supposed

00:31:51.840 to do?

00:31:52.440 What was the

00:31:53.040 other thing

00:31:53.580 they could

00:31:53.920 have done?

00:31:55.040 Remember, he

00:31:55.680 was resisting

00:31:56.380 arrest, he

00:31:57.980 was really

00:31:58.480 big, and

00:32:01.440 the next

00:32:01.900 people, whoever

00:32:03.160 is the next

00:32:03.860 person who

00:32:04.400 gets apprehended

00:32:05.260 will complain

00:32:06.600 about not

00:32:07.300 being able

00:32:07.620 to breathe.

00:32:08.500 How many

00:32:09.080 people who

00:32:09.540 are stopped

00:32:09.980 and, let's

00:32:10.740 say, controlled

00:32:11.480 by police,

00:32:12.280 like physically

00:32:13.040 controlled, how

00:32:14.520 many of them

00:32:15.020 complain that

00:32:15.640 the police are

00:32:16.200 hurting them, or

00:32:17.340 killing them, or

00:32:17.980 they can't

00:32:18.360 breathe?

00:32:19.740 How many

00:32:20.400 would say they

00:32:21.240 can't breathe

00:32:21.860 if all you

00:32:24.500 had to do is

00:32:24.980 say that and

00:32:25.520 the police had

00:32:26.060 to let you

00:32:26.520 up?

00:32:28.760 There's not

00:32:29.340 like a second

00:32:29.920 way to do

00:32:30.480 this, is

00:32:30.920 there?

00:32:32.480 Could they

00:32:33.100 have just

00:32:33.660 handcuffed

00:32:34.240 them?

00:32:34.720 Oh, maybe

00:32:35.060 they could have

00:32:35.480 handcuffed

00:32:35.880 them.

00:32:36.600 I suppose

00:32:37.120 they could

00:32:37.400 have

00:32:37.500 handcuffed

00:32:37.960 them and

00:32:38.380 maybe put

00:32:39.320 them up.

00:32:39.900 But you

00:32:40.140 have to

00:32:40.380 ask the

00:32:40.700 question, what

00:32:41.480 happens if

00:32:42.300 we assume

00:32:44.580 police, can

00:32:45.540 somebody who's

00:32:46.120 got some

00:32:46.560 police experience

00:32:47.440 tell me this?

00:32:48.780 Don't people

00:32:49.460 who get

00:32:50.060 apprehended by

00:32:51.400 police complain

00:32:52.800 about not being

00:32:53.520 able to breathe

00:32:54.300 sort of

00:32:55.260 routinely?

00:32:57.140 Somebody says

00:32:57.900 he was

00:32:58.300 cuffed.

00:32:59.340 If he was

00:33:00.220 cuffed, how

00:33:03.740 hard do you

00:33:04.240 think that they

00:33:05.280 were leaning

00:33:05.760 on him to

00:33:06.540 stay down

00:33:07.280 if he was

00:33:08.340 cuffed?

00:33:09.320 I mean, he

00:33:09.580 couldn't have

00:33:09.840 been that

00:33:10.120 dangerous.

00:33:10.840 So a lot

00:33:11.160 of good

00:33:11.920 questions here,

00:33:12.640 but I

00:33:12.840 can't imagine

00:33:13.420 that we'll

00:33:14.940 get a murder

00:33:15.520 conviction.

00:33:20.260 So, and

00:33:23.200 then we're

00:33:23.500 going to have

00:33:23.780 riots and

00:33:25.560 people will

00:33:26.040 die.

00:33:26.660 Because you

00:33:27.180 know that's

00:33:27.580 coming, right?

00:33:28.060 You know

00:33:28.960 there will

00:33:29.300 be George

00:33:29.900 Floyd riots

00:33:30.720 and people

00:33:31.380 will die. 0.61

00:33:32.460 Who do we

00:33:33.280 blame for

00:33:33.760 that?

00:33:34.920 Racism?

00:33:36.140 The cops?

00:33:37.340 Or the

00:33:37.900 fake news?

00:33:38.980 Because the

00:33:39.660 fake news isn't

00:33:40.500 going to say

00:33:40.880 anything that I

00:33:41.620 just said.

00:33:43.320 And there's a

00:33:44.460 lot of nuance

00:33:45.200 and context

00:33:45.960 here that's

00:33:46.460 important.

00:33:47.180 I would say

00:33:47.760 that the

00:33:48.160 fake news

00:33:48.880 is quite

00:33:50.000 clearly going

00:33:50.900 to murder

00:33:51.420 a number of

00:33:52.440 citizens right

00:33:54.360 in front of

00:33:54.760 us.

00:33:55.040 because the

00:33:56.340 fake news

00:33:56.900 could make

00:33:57.300 this stop

00:33:58.000 just by

00:33:59.280 adding the

00:33:59.820 right context

00:34:00.540 and saying

00:34:01.060 basically what

00:34:02.360 I said.

00:34:03.400 So you

00:34:03.760 just see it

00:34:04.660 with a little

00:34:05.060 more fullness.

00:34:06.740 But they

00:34:07.320 won't because

00:34:08.180 I think they

00:34:08.800 like their

00:34:09.180 riots.

00:34:09.660 Good for

00:34:09.920 business.

00:34:11.300 Did you see

00:34:11.920 the social

00:34:12.640 media tweets

00:34:14.180 where there

00:34:14.900 are some

00:34:15.260 grocery stores

00:34:16.100 that are

00:34:16.480 labeling some

00:34:17.320 of the

00:34:17.540 products as

00:34:18.780 black-owned

00:34:19.460 businesses?

00:34:21.220 So some

00:34:21.840 food will say

00:34:22.620 this is made

00:34:23.500 by a black-owned

00:34:24.300 business.

00:34:25.040 And I saw

00:34:26.280 a complaint

00:34:26.700 from an

00:34:27.240 African-American

00:34:27.840 gentleman

00:34:28.240 saying that

00:34:28.940 why is

00:34:29.580 anybody

00:34:29.780 complaining

00:34:30.240 about this

00:34:30.780 because we

00:34:31.340 already label

00:34:32.020 Mexican and

00:34:32.960 Chinese food?

00:34:34.680 So how is

00:34:35.860 this any

00:34:36.200 different?

00:34:37.020 To which I

00:34:37.580 say that's

00:34:38.980 labeling the

00:34:39.660 food.

00:34:41.460 If you

00:34:42.200 label the

00:34:42.760 food you're

00:34:43.320 just telling

00:34:43.720 the person

00:34:44.160 what they're

00:34:44.540 buying.

00:34:45.580 That's

00:34:46.100 different than

00:34:46.660 labeling the

00:34:47.260 owner.

00:34:48.940 Labeling the

00:34:49.440 owner isn't

00:34:50.000 even a little

00:34:50.680 bit similar to

00:34:51.460 labeling the

00:34:52.040 food.

00:34:53.580 What exactly

00:34:54.380 is the

00:34:56.320 black part of

00:34:58.080 the food that

00:34:58.700 they were

00:34:59.140 labeling black?

00:35:00.180 I think it

00:35:00.580 was just

00:35:00.880 generic food.

00:35:01.720 I don't

00:35:01.900 think it

00:35:02.160 was any

00:35:02.480 special

00:35:03.640 cultural

00:35:04.420 black kind

00:35:05.780 of food.

00:35:06.140 food.

00:35:09.620 And then the

00:35:11.840 rejoinder was

00:35:12.860 that a lot

00:35:13.700 of black

00:35:14.000 businesses were

00:35:14.800 shut out of

00:35:15.820 getting PPP

00:35:18.340 stuff and

00:35:19.420 other benefits

00:35:20.460 and that this

00:35:21.640 would at least

00:35:22.200 help them

00:35:22.640 compensate for

00:35:23.300 that.

00:35:24.160 Now I don't

00:35:25.020 know if that

00:35:25.680 happened.

00:35:26.080 That's bad.

00:35:26.780 So I don't

00:35:27.420 know the

00:35:27.720 details.

00:35:28.280 But if in

00:35:28.720 fact black

00:35:29.720 businesses were

00:35:30.540 somehow shut

00:35:31.340 out of things

00:35:32.720 that other

00:35:33.060 people got,

00:35:33.740 that would be

00:35:34.100 very bad.

00:35:34.800 I wouldn't

00:35:35.120 want to see

00:35:35.460 that.

00:35:36.280 But I

00:35:38.280 don't know

00:35:38.600 if I could

00:35:39.040 support racism

00:35:40.200 as the

00:35:40.800 solution to

00:35:41.540 that.

00:35:43.100 Because it

00:35:44.080 feels, not

00:35:46.140 feels, it's

00:35:46.880 blatantly racist.

00:35:48.260 To call out

00:35:49.160 the ethnicity

00:35:49.840 of somebody

00:35:50.760 as the owner

00:35:51.480 as a reason

00:35:52.740 you should buy

00:35:53.360 something is

00:35:54.600 as racist as

00:35:55.460 anything could

00:35:55.980 be.

00:35:56.760 Like it's the

00:35:57.440 definition of

00:35:58.020 racism.

00:35:58.280 So you

00:36:02.060 could be very

00:36:03.600 pro-black as

00:36:06.320 I am, super

00:36:07.560 pro-black, and

00:36:11.280 still see this

00:36:12.040 as a bad

00:36:12.440 idea.

00:36:13.160 All right.

00:36:15.760 So let me

00:36:17.740 ask you this.

00:36:18.420 there's a story

00:36:23.560 in the news

00:36:24.220 that makes

00:36:26.820 me really

00:36:27.320 wonder about

00:36:28.360 something.

00:36:30.240 It goes like

00:36:30.960 this.

00:36:31.240 That there's

00:36:32.320 this bacteria

00:36:33.000 called

00:36:33.460 cyanobacteria

00:36:36.120 or maybe it's

00:36:36.840 cayannobacteria

00:36:38.260 C-Y-A-N 1.00

00:36:39.900 How would you

00:36:41.300 pronounce that?

00:36:42.660 Cayannobacteria

00:36:43.420 maybe?

00:36:43.680 And it

00:36:46.100 converts carbon

00:36:46.960 dioxide to

00:36:48.140 oxygen and

00:36:49.420 this bacteria

00:36:50.500 can live in

00:36:51.140 the harshest

00:36:51.800 environments

00:36:52.340 including

00:36:53.280 maybe Mars.

00:36:56.420 So there's

00:36:57.080 some thinking

00:36:57.620 that you could

00:36:58.200 dump a bunch

00:36:58.860 of this

00:36:59.160 bacteria on

00:37:00.080 Mars and

00:37:01.940 let it create

00:37:03.020 an oxygen

00:37:03.660 atmosphere.

00:37:05.880 But what

00:37:06.600 would happen

00:37:07.080 if that was

00:37:08.580 done?

00:37:08.920 Wouldn't it

00:37:09.240 just keep

00:37:09.620 going and

00:37:10.100 get rid of

00:37:10.540 all the

00:37:10.860 carbon dioxide

00:37:11.600 in the

00:37:12.020 atmosphere?

00:37:12.340 And then

00:37:13.800 somebody said

00:37:14.440 if that

00:37:15.660 works, why

00:37:17.220 aren't we

00:37:17.500 using that

00:37:17.900 here on

00:37:18.320 Earth?

00:37:21.460 If we

00:37:22.220 can convert

00:37:22.780 carbon dioxide

00:37:23.660 to oxygen

00:37:24.500 with a

00:37:25.980 bacteria that

00:37:26.700 we already

00:37:27.060 have,

00:37:31.040 what's the

00:37:32.800 mean temperature

00:37:33.640 on Mars?

00:37:34.380 I don't

00:37:34.660 know.

00:37:35.040 It's cooler

00:37:35.640 than Earth,

00:37:36.300 right?

00:37:36.880 But apparently

00:37:37.620 there's some

00:37:38.260 indication that

00:37:39.100 this bacteria

00:37:39.760 could live in

00:37:40.820 the harsh

00:37:41.180 conditions on

00:37:41.920 Mars.

00:37:42.340 so that we

00:37:43.980 understand that

00:37:44.940 that's actually

00:37:45.500 feasible.

00:37:47.540 Would we be

00:37:48.380 creating Martian

00:37:49.560 global warming?

00:37:50.380 No, the

00:37:50.740 opposite, because

00:37:51.800 it would be

00:37:52.160 removing the

00:37:53.060 CO2 from

00:37:53.660 the air.

00:37:57.760 Trees do

00:37:58.480 that already.

00:38:00.420 Well, if

00:38:01.120 trees do that

00:38:01.800 already, but a

00:38:04.060 tree wouldn't

00:38:04.580 grow on Mars,

00:38:05.620 so maybe that's

00:38:06.240 the whole answer.

00:38:07.260 Maybe the fact

00:38:07.920 that the tree

00:38:08.520 does it more

00:38:09.140 efficiently than

00:38:10.380 the bacteria is 0.98

00:38:11.260 all you need to

00:38:11.800 know, could

00:38:13.340 be.

00:38:14.240 Yeah, so

00:38:14.920 obviously the

00:38:15.540 problem with

00:38:15.920 trees is you

00:38:16.480 don't have

00:38:16.820 enough of

00:38:17.260 them to

00:38:17.540 get it

00:38:17.820 done, but

00:38:18.420 if the

00:38:18.740 bacteria is

00:38:19.480 more efficient

00:38:20.140 per square

00:38:21.480 inch, could

00:38:22.740 you put just

00:38:23.660 a ton of

00:38:24.420 bacteria in

00:38:25.380 a box, put

00:38:27.020 it on your

00:38:27.420 porch and

00:38:28.020 have it

00:38:28.680 changing the

00:38:30.420 air while

00:38:30.780 you're sitting

00:38:31.100 there?

00:38:32.180 It's just

00:38:32.740 questions.

00:38:33.760 I've got

00:38:34.260 questions.

00:38:35.260 But here's

00:38:36.380 the interesting

00:38:36.800 part.

00:38:38.040 In our

00:38:38.500 lifetime, we

00:38:39.340 already have

00:38:39.940 the technology

00:38:40.600 to terraform

00:38:41.720 a planet.

00:38:43.160 If you

00:38:43.720 don't think

00:38:44.240 that humanity

00:38:45.080 is evolving

00:38:45.880 into God,

00:38:49.240 we're talking

00:38:50.400 about completely

00:38:51.980 feasibly

00:38:52.680 terraforming

00:38:54.820 Mars.

00:38:56.140 Like, that's

00:38:56.700 actually a

00:38:57.680 conversation.

00:38:58.800 And it

00:38:59.320 doesn't seem

00:38:59.860 like there's

00:39:00.240 anything that

00:39:00.640 would stop us

00:39:01.200 from doing it.

00:39:02.280 Because it

00:39:02.860 would take a

00:39:03.280 while.

00:39:03.900 I mean, you'd

00:39:04.300 have to put

00:39:04.660 that bacteria

00:39:05.280 there, and

00:39:06.080 maybe you'd

00:39:06.700 have to wait

00:39:07.000 10,000 years.

00:39:08.700 But it looks

00:39:09.320 like we know

00:39:09.840 how to do

00:39:10.280 it.

00:39:13.260 All right.

00:39:14.660 Yeah, if any

00:39:15.800 of this is true,

00:39:16.680 who knows how

00:39:17.340 much of this is

00:39:17.940 true.

00:39:18.840 But we'll be

00:39:19.480 terraforming like 0.99

00:39:20.280 crazy.

00:39:21.900 And then

00:39:22.060 somebody says

00:39:23.240 humanity is far

00:39:24.220 from God.

00:39:26.560 Well, so

00:39:27.500 far.

00:39:29.040 So far,

00:39:30.120 humanity is far

00:39:31.040 from God.

00:39:32.560 But,

00:39:33.520 heading in

00:39:34.260 the right

00:39:34.480 direction.

00:39:37.800 Mars doesn't

00:39:38.580 have a

00:39:38.960 magnetosphere,

00:39:40.180 so...

00:39:41.480 Oh, good

00:39:41.860 question.

00:39:42.860 So the

00:39:43.360 stability of

00:39:44.120 Earth depends

00:39:44.860 on our

00:39:45.420 magnetic

00:39:47.000 stuff.

00:39:48.880 If Mars has

00:39:49.800 a different

00:39:50.100 situation, does

00:39:50.960 that make it

00:39:51.380 less stable?

00:39:52.080 Good question.

00:39:52.780 I don't know.

00:39:53.840 And what

00:39:54.280 happens to

00:39:54.840 Earth when

00:39:55.660 our magnetic

00:39:56.280 north pole

00:39:56.940 moves?

00:39:57.480 Because it

00:39:57.760 is...

00:39:58.720 I don't know.

00:39:59.220 So he

00:40:01.820 says we

00:40:02.160 didn't

00:40:02.380 actually make

00:40:03.020 any of

00:40:03.360 that, so

00:40:03.800 we're not

00:40:04.140 God.

00:40:05.280 Well,

00:40:06.320 didn't we?

00:40:08.040 Because in

00:40:08.860 physics we

00:40:09.440 know that

00:40:10.100 something has

00:40:10.580 to be

00:40:10.860 observed to

00:40:11.680 exist.

00:40:14.000 Didn't we

00:40:14.760 make it all?

00:40:16.060 Because

00:40:16.480 everything that

00:40:17.240 exists was

00:40:18.120 observed.

00:40:19.680 Right?

00:40:19.840 So if

00:40:21.000 observing makes

00:40:22.940 it exist, I

00:40:24.560 feel like

00:40:25.220 maybe we

00:40:26.040 did make

00:40:26.620 it, or

00:40:27.260 at least

00:40:27.540 the subjective

00:40:28.260 part of

00:40:29.280 it.

00:40:32.200 Somebody says

00:40:33.000 when I

00:40:33.280 watch this

00:40:33.720 on YouTube

00:40:34.220 there's no

00:40:34.820 place for

00:40:35.260 comments.

00:40:36.420 I'm watching

00:40:37.220 the comments

00:40:37.760 on YouTube

00:40:38.180 right now.

00:40:39.440 So I've

00:40:39.760 got two

00:40:40.180 screens up

00:40:40.840 and one

00:40:41.480 of them

00:40:41.780 is showing

00:40:42.320 the comments

00:40:42.940 as they're

00:40:43.360 coming in

00:40:43.760 from YouTube.

00:40:49.840 putting a

00:40:52.400 magneto

00:40:52.960 generator at

00:40:53.660 a distance

00:40:54.180 to shield

00:40:54.840 Mars would

00:40:55.640 be comparatively

00:40:56.720 easy.

00:40:57.360 It would.

00:40:58.380 That doesn't

00:40:58.900 sound easy.

00:41:01.420 I'm just

00:41:01.860 going to look

00:41:02.140 at some of

00:41:02.600 your comments

00:41:03.220 because it

00:41:04.000 does seem

00:41:04.420 that when

00:41:04.760 Trump is

00:41:05.240 not in

00:41:05.640 the news,

00:41:06.540 the news

00:41:07.080 just sort

00:41:08.360 of gets

00:41:08.680 kind of

00:41:09.240 boring for

00:41:10.000 a while.

00:41:12.920 Observing

00:41:13.440 something does

00:41:14.120 not make it

00:41:14.660 exist.

00:41:15.160 You are

00:41:15.360 misunderstanding

00:41:15.980 the experiment.

00:41:17.720 Well,

00:41:17.980 observing

00:41:18.320 something does

00:41:19.000 collapse

00:41:19.540 the way

00:41:20.160 you form.

00:41:20.740 So it

00:41:21.340 collapses

00:41:21.920 the possibilities.

00:41:24.220 I would

00:41:24.880 say that's

00:41:25.300 the same

00:41:25.640 thing.

00:41:26.380 And there's

00:41:26.740 some thought

00:41:27.220 that maybe

00:41:27.660 we're nothing

00:41:28.180 but consciousness.

00:41:30.540 Maybe we

00:41:31.260 are.

00:41:33.900 Somebody

00:41:34.380 says we're

00:41:35.100 made in

00:41:35.860 the image

00:41:36.240 of God.

00:41:36.800 We are

00:41:37.020 not God.

00:41:38.440 Well,

00:41:39.500 let me

00:41:39.860 ask you

00:41:40.240 this.

00:41:41.920 To God,

00:41:42.840 do you

00:41:43.160 think that

00:41:43.640 time means

00:41:45.420 the same

00:41:45.780 thing that

00:41:46.200 it does

00:41:46.480 to us?

00:41:48.500 Question?

00:41:48.980 Do you

00:41:49.760 think that

00:41:50.200 time means

00:41:52.000 the same

00:41:52.380 thing to

00:41:52.780 God as

00:41:53.780 it does

00:41:54.060 to a

00:41:54.440 human?

00:41:55.820 Probably

00:41:56.140 not.

00:41:56.960 Would there

00:41:57.300 be anything

00:41:57.700 that would

00:41:57.980 stop God

00:41:58.600 from moving

00:41:59.140 either forward

00:41:59.980 or backward

00:42:00.600 in time?

00:42:02.820 Right?

00:42:03.460 By definition,

00:42:04.300 no.

00:42:05.220 God would

00:42:05.840 control space

00:42:06.740 and time,

00:42:07.360 and so God

00:42:07.880 could move

00:42:08.600 anywhere in

00:42:09.140 space and

00:42:09.620 time.

00:42:11.140 So,

00:42:11.920 how do you

00:42:13.960 know that

00:42:15.420 God is in

00:42:16.080 the past?

00:42:19.180 How do

00:42:19.780 you know

00:42:20.180 that God

00:42:20.800 is not

00:42:21.180 your future

00:42:21.860 and that

00:42:23.220 the creation

00:42:23.820 of God

00:42:24.380 is what

00:42:25.140 you're watching

00:42:25.580 right now?

00:42:26.500 How do

00:42:27.020 you know

00:42:27.360 that the

00:42:27.780 sum of

00:42:28.360 humanity,

00:42:29.460 which started

00:42:31.000 at the

00:42:31.360 Big Bang

00:42:31.880 as a bunch

00:42:33.200 of nothing

00:42:33.620 and is now

00:42:34.760 consolidating

00:42:36.160 in various

00:42:36.760 places and

00:42:37.560 the individual

00:42:38.940 human minds

00:42:39.920 are now

00:42:40.300 connected by

00:42:41.060 a vast

00:42:41.800 internet,

00:42:42.860 so that

00:42:43.260 what was

00:42:43.980 a human

00:42:44.580 species of

00:42:45.380 one person

00:42:46.040 at a time

00:42:46.700 is now

00:42:47.580 a meta

00:42:48.040 species

00:42:48.520 where we

00:42:49.320 act as

00:42:49.800 one,

00:42:50.520 with the

00:42:51.060 coronavirus

00:42:51.420 being a

00:42:52.020 good example.

00:42:53.300 And once

00:42:53.640 you act

00:42:54.040 as one

00:42:54.560 and your

00:42:55.280 power

00:42:55.720 increases

00:42:56.720 to the

00:42:57.600 point where

00:42:58.020 you can

00:42:58.360 terraform

00:42:59.060 a planet

00:42:59.620 and create

00:43:00.940 life,

00:43:02.560 you know

00:43:03.020 we're going

00:43:03.340 to create

00:43:03.680 life,

00:43:04.260 right?

00:43:04.780 We will

00:43:05.420 be manipulating

00:43:06.160 the gene

00:43:06.720 structure

00:43:07.140 and creating

00:43:07.740 new species.

00:43:09.300 Now,

00:43:10.620 fast forward

00:43:11.320 that a thousand

00:43:11.940 years.

00:43:12.360 everything I

00:43:14.360 described is

00:43:14.960 what we

00:43:15.280 can do

00:43:15.560 right now.

00:43:16.340 We can

00:43:16.720 begin to

00:43:17.480 terraform

00:43:18.020 planets and

00:43:18.720 begin to

00:43:19.580 make new

00:43:20.580 species out

00:43:21.360 of combinations

00:43:22.080 of old

00:43:22.620 ones.

00:43:23.340 What will

00:43:23.900 we be able

00:43:24.360 to do

00:43:24.640 in a thousand

00:43:25.180 years?

00:43:27.920 It's going

00:43:28.700 to be

00:43:29.080 comparable

00:43:29.560 to God.

00:43:31.580 Does anybody

00:43:32.380 think that's

00:43:32.920 not true?

00:43:33.980 What humans

00:43:34.820 collectively will

00:43:35.780 be able to

00:43:36.220 do will be

00:43:36.980 comparable to

00:43:37.780 everything that

00:43:38.600 we observe

00:43:39.240 that is

00:43:40.320 attributed to

00:43:41.080 God.

00:43:42.360 We'll be

00:43:42.860 able to

00:43:43.100 do all

00:43:43.380 of it.

00:43:44.180 On a

00:43:44.740 planetary

00:43:45.080 level,

00:43:45.920 I suppose

00:43:46.580 you could

00:43:46.880 argue that

00:43:47.340 the universe

00:43:47.800 is another

00:43:48.380 thing.

00:43:49.280 Now,

00:43:50.560 what would

00:43:51.220 if you

00:43:52.460 say God

00:43:53.440 is real,

00:43:55.280 why can't

00:43:56.500 I say

00:43:56.880 God is

00:43:57.420 real,

00:43:58.140 but God

00:43:58.920 is not

00:43:59.300 limited by

00:44:00.020 time the

00:44:00.740 way you

00:44:01.080 are,

00:44:01.860 so God

00:44:02.340 is real

00:44:02.840 in the

00:44:03.140 future.

00:44:04.700 And God

00:44:05.060 is real

00:44:05.440 now in

00:44:06.940 its formative

00:44:07.840 stage.

00:44:08.720 Because many

00:44:09.340 of you believe

00:44:09.940 that a fetus

00:44:10.740 is a life

00:44:11.640 even though

00:44:12.700 a fetus

00:44:13.160 can't do

00:44:13.580 much.

00:44:14.360 If you

00:44:14.980 believe that

00:44:15.480 we are

00:44:15.780 evolving into

00:44:16.780 a God-like

00:44:17.960 form,

00:44:19.360 then we're

00:44:20.200 already God,

00:44:21.060 we're just

00:44:21.340 not good at

00:44:22.100 it yet.

00:44:22.500 Like a fetus

00:44:23.300 is not good

00:44:23.860 at being a

00:44:24.320 person,

00:44:25.280 we're kind

00:44:25.740 of a God

00:44:26.460 fetus,

00:44:27.360 not God.

00:44:29.460 So,

00:44:30.380 I'll just

00:44:31.280 put that out

00:44:31.860 there,

00:44:32.660 that if God

00:44:33.280 is timeless

00:44:33.840 and not

00:44:34.400 affected by

00:44:35.020 time,

00:44:36.180 you're God.

00:44:37.600 so there

00:44:40.600 you go.

00:44:42.980 Your theory

00:44:43.780 is God

00:44:44.260 is not

00:44:44.620 tethered to

00:44:45.360 linear time,

00:44:46.180 that is

00:44:46.480 correct.

00:44:47.480 And in

00:44:48.080 physics,

00:44:48.380 we do

00:44:48.840 know that

00:44:49.220 the equations

00:44:49.800 work forward

00:44:51.400 and backwards,

00:44:52.720 right?

00:44:53.400 So,

00:44:54.140 in physics,

00:44:55.700 the forward

00:44:57.500 motion of

00:44:58.260 time I

00:44:58.980 don't think

00:44:59.340 is even

00:44:59.800 necessarily

00:45:00.680 considered

00:45:01.260 preferred,

00:45:02.040 right?

00:45:02.240 I think

00:45:05.760 I've got

00:45:06.020 a phone

00:45:06.760 binging

00:45:07.100 here somewhere.

00:45:10.340 All right,

00:45:11.000 that's all

00:45:11.620 I've got

00:45:11.920 for you

00:45:12.180 today.

00:45:13.260 Go off

00:45:13.780 and have

00:45:14.040 a good

00:45:14.360 day.

00:45:15.220 I know

00:45:15.640 I'm going

00:45:16.020 to,

00:45:16.780 and we'll

00:45:18.160 talk to

00:45:18.540 you tomorrow.

00:45:22.760 All right,

00:45:23.360 YouTubers,

00:45:25.060 wow,

00:45:25.720 got a lot

00:45:26.140 of comments

00:45:26.920 when I said

00:45:27.420 that.

00:45:28.480 I was just

00:45:28.920 watching the

00:45:29.380 comments,

00:45:29.860 they just

00:45:30.100 went zoop.

00:45:32.240 Maybe I

00:45:34.940 should just

00:45:35.240 talk about

00:45:35.680 that in

00:45:36.020 the future.

00:45:37.740 What was

00:45:38.380 the title

00:45:38.820 you wanted

00:45:39.300 to use?

00:45:42.940 I don't

00:45:43.580 know that

00:45:43.900 question.

00:45:44.620 Anyway,

00:45:44.980 my book,

00:45:45.560 God's Debris,

00:45:47.740 which is

00:45:48.340 available free

00:45:49.400 online,

00:45:50.380 you could

00:45:50.600 just Google

00:45:51.020 it,

00:45:51.660 or you

00:45:52.040 could buy

00:45:52.480 it from

00:45:52.940 Amazon,

00:45:54.140 has a

00:45:55.120 fiction version

00:45:55.940 of this.

00:46:00.700 All right,

00:46:01.360 that's all

00:46:01.600 I've got

00:46:01.780 for now.

00:46:02.240 And I'll

00:46:02.580 talk to

00:46:03.360 you tomorrow.
