Trump is no longer on Facebook, Bill Barr is accused of lying about the Mueller report, and I give my thoughts on whether or not you should get vaccinated. Plus, a new segment called "The Simultaneous Sip" in which I answer your burning questions.


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Well, today's going to be a barn burner.
00:00:07.400 What a show we have.
00:00:08.940 Oh my God.
00:00:11.540 It's going to be so good.
00:00:13.460 I'm excited.
00:00:14.580 And all you need to enjoy it to its maximum potential
00:00:17.120 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein,
00:00:19.300 a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:00:22.220 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:00:23.280 I like coffee.
00:00:25.480 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure
00:00:27.240 of the dopamine to the day, the thing that makes everything better.
00:00:29.400 It's called The Simultaneous Sip,
00:00:31.600 and it's going to be on fire today.
00:00:34.380 Fire, I tell you.
00:00:35.760 Go.
00:00:42.140 Well, if Twitter is telling me the truth,
00:00:45.440 and why wouldn't it?
00:00:46.700 At least people on Twitter.
00:00:48.820 It looks like Facebook has upheld the suspension of Trump on Facebook.
00:00:54.800 So Trump will not be on Facebook.
00:00:57.900 I guess they have some semi-independent board
00:01:01.800 that makes this decision to cover their butts.
00:01:04.940 But here's a question I ask.
00:01:08.120 Who still uses Facebook?
00:01:11.140 I swear to God, I just don't know who uses it.
00:01:15.600 Do you?
00:01:16.880 You know, I have an account, and I do check it,
00:01:20.160 but I feel that of the people I know,
00:01:25.100 I don't know, 5% actually post things.
00:01:30.060 And I don't know anybody who's, let's say,
00:01:33.200 teenager or younger who uses Facebook at all.
00:01:36.560 How could Facebook survive if teenagers aren't using it at all?
00:01:41.140 Well, I don't know.
00:01:43.820 I don't think the story here is Trump is not on Facebook.
00:01:47.180 The story might be, why is anybody on Facebook?
00:01:50.760 Like, I don't even know the point of it, honestly.
00:01:53.800 It's, I think, I think it's,
00:01:57.420 it's already past its prime.
00:02:00.960 I mean, isn't it?
00:02:01.640 Is there anything that you need Facebook for?
00:02:05.660 All right.
00:02:06.840 I know there are some businesses that require it,
00:02:09.500 but I can't believe,
00:02:12.340 well, I'm just going to say it.
00:02:14.800 You know, one of my BS filters
00:02:16.900 is when observation doesn't match data.
00:02:21.740 Now, perfect situation is that the world you observe
00:02:25.180 and the data about that world seem very compatible.
00:02:28.120 But my observation is that
00:02:31.860 people aren't using Facebook nearly as much
00:02:34.980 as the data would suggest.
00:02:38.160 So there's a mystery here.
00:02:39.940 Don't know what it is.
00:02:40.880 Could be just my observations.
00:02:44.020 Propaganda alert.
00:02:45.600 Boop, boop, boop, boop, boop, boop.
00:02:47.100 There's a story in the New York Times that says,
00:02:50.800 this judge, Amy Berman Jackson,
00:02:53.900 says that Bill Barr misled,
00:02:56.480 and misletter on how his Justice Department
00:03:00.020 viewed Trump's actions.
00:03:03.320 Now, this was about the Mueller report, etc.
00:03:05.500 Now, here's the propaganda part of this.
00:03:08.600 So the headlines and the summary of the story
00:03:11.420 is that Barr is a big old liar
00:03:14.620 and he lied about the Mueller report.
00:03:18.360 Now, here's your assignment.
00:03:20.620 Try to read the article that says Barr lied
00:03:23.840 and figure out what the lie was
00:03:26.240 because I feel as if they wrote it
00:03:30.560 to make it really hard to figure out what's going on
00:03:34.280 when it should have been really easy.
00:03:36.400 It should have been,
00:03:37.760 this is what he said,
00:03:39.560 this is what, you know, was true.
00:03:44.180 Isn't a story about a lie
00:03:46.100 or a series of lies
00:03:47.980 the easiest story to tell?
00:03:49.520 Well, here's what he said.
00:03:52.640 Here's what's true.
00:03:54.480 See how they're different.
00:03:57.020 And yet, it's written in this really confusing way
00:04:00.240 where you'll see the headline
00:04:01.480 and you'll absorb the fact that he lied
00:04:04.080 and you'll get lost in the writing
00:04:06.480 and you'll never quite see the argument
00:04:08.600 for what he lied about
00:04:10.040 or any, you know, mitigating argument
00:04:14.300 about why maybe he thinks it wasn't a lie.
00:04:16.640 So, I would call that pure propaganda
00:04:19.820 just the way it's being presented.
00:04:22.500 So, be alert for that.
00:04:24.400 All right.
00:04:25.380 Here's the first provocative part
00:04:28.360 of my live stream,
00:04:31.620 at least today.
00:04:33.080 I'm going to tell you my decision process
00:04:34.900 for vaccination or no vaccination.
00:04:38.300 Stop. Stop.
00:04:39.820 I know what you're thinking.
00:04:41.420 I'm not going to tell you
00:04:42.380 you should get vaccinated.
00:04:44.180 Is that what you thought?
00:04:45.020 Get your hand away from the cancel button.
00:04:48.960 I'm not going to tell you
00:04:50.220 you should get vaccinated.
00:04:51.700 That's for you to decide.
00:04:53.520 You, your doctor, whoever.
00:04:55.620 But the last person you want to listen to
00:04:57.520 would be me.
00:04:59.500 Can we get on the same side on that?
00:05:01.940 Before you start disagreeing with me,
00:05:04.160 because there's going to be plenty of that.
00:05:06.000 All right.
00:05:06.460 So, let's just,
00:05:07.480 let's agree on the part we agree on.
00:05:09.940 Don't take your medical advice from me.
00:05:12.020 But, here's what I would suggest
00:05:14.640 you can take away from this.
00:05:17.500 You can take away a way of looking at it.
00:05:20.880 Compare it to your own way of looking at it.
00:05:23.580 And see if there's anything in my way of looking at it
00:05:26.180 that would give you a little way
00:05:28.600 to fix up your own way of looking at it.
00:05:30.720 Also, look at the comments
00:05:33.480 to anything I say next
00:05:35.760 because there may be some experts
00:05:37.500 who weigh in and say,
00:05:38.720 Scott, you got this wrong
00:05:40.580 in a number of ways.
00:05:42.220 So, keep in mind that we're all dealing
00:05:44.320 with incomplete information, right?
00:05:47.500 Wouldn't it be great
00:05:48.440 if we had great information?
00:05:49.900 So, how do you make a decision
00:05:50.960 in a realm in which your information
00:05:53.880 is incomplete?
00:05:55.540 Well, that's what I'm going to help you with today.
00:05:57.180 For those of you who are new to me,
00:06:00.280 I'm mostly known as a Dilbert cartoonist guy,
00:06:03.480 but I also have a degree in economics,
00:06:06.260 years of cost-benefit analyses
00:06:09.400 in corporate worlds,
00:06:11.240 on lots of complicated decisions.
00:06:13.140 I've got an MBA.
00:06:14.560 And so, risk management
00:06:16.080 and cost-benefit decisions
00:06:18.380 is my expertise,
00:06:21.080 far more than cartooning.
00:06:22.840 But I'm not a health expert.
00:06:25.560 So, your own decision
00:06:26.640 should come from looking at
00:06:28.600 the mechanism for making the decision
00:06:31.960 and then putting in your own estimates, right?
00:06:34.920 So, I'm going to show you
00:06:36.000 my own personal estimates.
00:06:38.340 Yours should be different.
00:06:40.400 And therefore, your overall decision
00:06:42.400 could also be quite different
00:06:44.560 using the same structure.
00:06:46.580 So, here's where I started with.
00:06:48.360 Just a little background.
00:06:50.060 These are the different ways
00:06:51.000 you could get some immunity.
00:06:52.020 You've got the Moderna and Pfizer vaccinations.
00:06:56.480 That's the two vaccination deals,
00:06:59.140 the newer technology.
00:07:00.940 And these are the strongest,
00:07:02.720 longest-lasting protections.
00:07:05.880 You also have the J&J one,
00:07:07.780 which is one shot,
00:07:08.720 but also natural immunity.
00:07:10.260 Let's say you'd already had the coronavirus.
00:07:12.520 These two will give you
00:07:13.780 probably good enough protection.
00:07:17.080 It might not be as strong on paper
00:07:19.300 as the top two choices.
00:07:22.760 But it will be strong enough
00:07:24.440 to probably reduce your odds of dying
00:07:26.900 from the next exposure to the coronavirus.
00:07:30.500 Probably pretty close to zero.
00:07:32.580 So, all of these are probably
00:07:34.480 in the good enough range,
00:07:36.260 and you probably won't get a choice anyway.
00:07:38.380 But if you did get a choice,
00:07:40.080 just know that there's some difference here.
00:07:42.420 It might not be a difference
00:07:43.820 that matters to your death rate, though.
00:07:47.660 So, if you just take the two choices,
00:07:49.560 get vaccinated or don't get vaccinated,
00:07:52.360 and I will look at your comments
00:07:54.420 after I do this.
00:07:56.000 So, if you have some good comments,
00:07:57.440 just wait until I'm ready to read them.
00:07:58.800 My personal odds of death.
00:08:02.900 Personal odds of death.
00:08:04.280 This is where you put in your own number.
00:08:06.720 So, your assumption about your own risks
00:08:09.720 should be based on your comorbidity,
00:08:12.460 your weight, your gender,
00:08:15.060 your ethnicity, apparently,
00:08:17.360 and, you know, all the obvious stuff.
00:08:20.540 So, my personal estimate is that
00:08:23.060 if I were to get vaccinated,
00:08:24.840 my odds of death from coronavirus
00:08:27.520 and my odds of death
00:08:29.900 from the vaccination itself,
00:08:32.820 basically round to zero.
00:08:35.400 You know, it's something way less than 1%, right?
00:08:38.560 So, when things are so much less than 1%,
00:08:41.260 I treat them as zero.
00:08:43.940 So, in terms of decision-making,
00:08:46.220 it might be true that this risk
00:08:47.860 or this risk is five times more
00:08:50.480 than the other one,
00:08:51.800 but they're both zero
00:08:52.940 for all practical purposes.
00:08:55.720 Somebody says,
00:08:56.460 can't be zero?
00:08:57.880 In practical sense,
00:08:59.980 you can treat it as zero.
00:09:01.720 That's different from being zero.
00:09:04.180 So, in a decision-making context,
00:09:08.220 you can treat some things as zero
00:09:10.160 even though you know
00:09:10.960 it's a little bit more than zero.
00:09:13.180 So, work with me on this, right?
00:09:15.860 So, I think that whether I get the vaccination
00:09:17.500 or I don't,
00:09:18.920 my odds of dying from a vaccination
00:09:21.380 or from the virus,
00:09:23.420 basically zero.
00:09:24.240 Now, remember,
00:09:25.280 this is my personal odds.
00:09:27.540 We're not talking about
00:09:28.560 what happens to large populations.
00:09:31.120 That's separate.
00:09:32.840 What are my odds of getting infected?
00:09:35.040 Well, even if you get the vaccination,
00:09:37.000 apparently,
00:09:37.500 you can get reinfected.
00:09:39.260 But, I do think
00:09:40.340 that the weight of
00:09:41.760 common sense and logic about this
00:09:44.400 is that you have
00:09:46.120 a much less chance
00:09:47.140 of getting infected
00:09:48.720 if you've got the vaccination.
00:09:50.260 still can happen.
00:09:51.800 So, I'm just going to put in a number
00:09:53.460 and this might be high
00:09:54.900 and you might want to put in
00:09:56.680 your own number.
00:09:57.760 So, again,
00:09:58.580 don't judge me
00:10:00.000 by what numbers
00:10:00.840 I put in for myself
00:10:02.160 because that's none of your business.
00:10:05.580 You put in your own numbers
00:10:07.040 and that's none of my business.
00:10:09.560 Do you get that?
00:10:10.440 I want everybody to be clear.
00:10:12.180 I'm not telling you
00:10:12.840 to get vaccinated or not.
00:10:15.000 I'm telling you
00:10:15.500 to make up your own decision
00:10:16.680 by putting in your own estimates.
00:10:19.100 All right?
00:10:19.540 I think if I don't get vaccinated
00:10:21.380 based on how well
00:10:22.800 I can socially distance
00:10:24.960 and what my activities
00:10:26.480 are likely to be,
00:10:28.100 maybe as much as a 20% chance
00:10:30.800 of getting infected.
00:10:31.820 But, what are the risks
00:10:34.540 of the long-haul
00:10:35.720 or, let's say,
00:10:37.300 long-term complications?
00:10:39.560 And when I say long-haul
00:10:40.880 I'm going to say
00:10:41.640 that let's say
00:10:42.640 you get the vaccination
00:10:43.540 and somewhere down the line
00:10:46.040 there's some kind of complication
00:10:47.520 that you didn't know about.
00:10:49.240 What are the odds of that?
00:10:50.980 Well, my understanding
00:10:52.260 is that the nature of vaccines,
00:10:54.940 according to the experts,
00:10:56.220 is that if you're going to have a problem,
00:10:58.200 you almost always have
00:11:00.440 that problem right away,
00:11:02.420 meaning the first weeks,
00:11:04.120 first months.
00:11:06.060 There's very little, if any,
00:11:07.980 history of getting a vaccination
00:11:09.620 and then, you know,
00:11:11.420 five years later
00:11:12.280 somebody's got a problem,
00:11:13.840 at least for this type of vaccination,
00:11:16.600 at least according to the experts.
00:11:18.840 Do you believe them?
00:11:20.440 No way to know, is there?
00:11:22.320 So this is the problem.
00:11:23.920 We don't have any certainty
00:11:25.300 about any of this stuff.
00:11:26.640 So you have to make
00:11:28.000 your own best guess
00:11:29.180 and that's the best you can do.
00:11:32.380 I'm going to say
00:11:33.300 that the odds of getting a vaccination
00:11:37.280 and then years in the future
00:11:39.580 having a side effect
00:11:41.140 are really small.
00:11:43.340 I don't know how small,
00:11:45.300 but just for the purposes
00:11:46.420 of making decisions,
00:11:48.140 less than 1%.
00:11:49.340 Am I right?
00:11:51.900 How would I know?
00:11:53.380 I'm just saying that
00:11:54.520 things like this,
00:11:55.880 vaccinations
00:11:56.780 are in a class of risks
00:11:59.160 in which the long-term risk
00:12:01.360 is way, way smaller
00:12:03.200 than your risk
00:12:04.560 of something happening
00:12:05.380 in the first few weeks.
00:12:07.040 And even the risk
00:12:08.020 of having something happening
00:12:09.040 in the first few weeks
00:12:10.400 is really, really small.
00:12:13.020 Okay.
00:12:13.540 So I discount them
00:12:15.560 to something less than 1%.
00:12:17.360 But if you don't get
00:12:19.320 the vaccination,
00:12:20.280 there is at least one study.
00:12:22.020 Again, it's just one study.
00:12:23.520 Who knows how accurate
00:12:24.500 that is?
00:12:25.420 They said that maybe up to
00:12:26.800 30% of people
00:12:27.960 who get the virus
00:12:28.920 have some kind
00:12:30.040 of long-haul problem.
00:12:31.960 Now, long-haul
00:12:33.220 means it could last months.
00:12:36.240 But do you believe
00:12:38.280 that if you had a problem
00:12:39.480 that made you mentally foggy
00:12:41.260 for nine months,
00:12:43.000 which is a real thing,
00:12:44.420 this is happening to people,
00:12:45.960 do you think
00:12:46.760 that's not permanent?
00:12:47.560 Because we don't know
00:12:50.320 that it's permanent.
00:12:51.800 But I can't imagine anything
00:12:53.300 that, let's say,
00:12:54.560 at my current age, right,
00:12:56.040 because it'd be worse
00:12:56.820 the older you are.
00:12:58.160 But at my current age,
00:12:59.720 if I had nine months
00:13:01.540 of brain fog,
00:13:03.860 do you really think
00:13:04.840 I'm going to come out
00:13:05.500 the other end
00:13:06.220 just as healthy?
00:13:07.800 I can't believe it.
00:13:09.640 But I also don't have evidence
00:13:11.420 one way or another,
00:13:12.960 whether it's temporary
00:13:13.680 or permanent.
00:13:14.580 But this is the one
00:13:15.440 I worry about.
00:13:16.080 So I put about
00:13:18.300 zero credibility
00:13:19.740 in my odds of dying,
00:13:21.400 personally,
00:13:22.400 just personally.
00:13:23.700 But I think my odds
00:13:24.820 of having some
00:13:25.380 long-haul brain fog
00:13:27.420 that is the scariest part,
00:13:30.020 pretty good.
00:13:31.340 Now, what about
00:13:31.920 the miscellaneous
00:13:32.860 unknown risks?
00:13:34.240 How do you handle them?
00:13:35.500 One of the miscellaneous
00:13:36.740 unknown risks is,
00:13:38.820 what if Bill Gates
00:13:40.100 put a microchip
00:13:41.380 in your vaccines?
00:13:44.160 I rate the value
00:13:46.020 of that
00:13:46.500 in my decision-making
00:13:47.740 at zero.
00:13:50.680 Zero.
00:13:51.400 We'll talk about therapeutics.
00:13:54.140 Because it's a wild
00:13:55.880 and crazy thing.
00:13:56.680 And every decision,
00:13:58.440 every decision
00:13:59.760 has a whole bunch
00:14:01.560 of things
00:14:02.020 that could happen.
00:14:04.400 Could happen.
00:14:05.400 You could get hit
00:14:06.220 by a meteor.
00:14:07.460 You could explode
00:14:08.660 spontaneously.
00:14:09.740 There's lots of stuff
00:14:10.460 that could happen.
00:14:11.120 But I value them
00:14:12.420 all at zero
00:14:13.140 as a decision-making
00:14:15.340 standard.
00:14:17.820 And I would suggest
00:14:18.820 this for you as well.
00:14:20.500 Now,
00:14:21.200 every situation
00:14:22.100 is different.
00:14:23.220 But if you have
00:14:23.780 this wild,
00:14:24.640 well,
00:14:24.880 maybe something
00:14:25.740 could go wrong,
00:14:27.100 but there's no data
00:14:28.260 to it,
00:14:28.740 and you don't have
00:14:29.440 experts worried about it.
00:14:31.620 In a situation
00:14:32.840 where experts
00:14:33.520 aren't terribly worried,
00:14:35.380 and they do
00:14:36.480 to understand
00:14:37.080 the realm,
00:14:38.800 I give a zero.
00:14:40.160 What about the risk
00:14:41.200 of long-term complications?
00:14:43.180 Like I said,
00:14:44.240 probably less than 1%,
00:14:45.520 but not zero.
00:14:47.120 Certainly not zero.
00:14:49.200 And what about,
00:14:50.520 what kind of weight
00:14:51.920 do you put on
00:14:52.560 peace of mind?
00:14:55.020 Well,
00:14:55.740 this again
00:14:56.340 is individual.
00:14:58.280 Some of you
00:14:59.040 might have better
00:14:59.880 peace of mind
00:15:00.700 by not getting vaccinated.
00:15:02.960 And peace of mind,
00:15:03.840 that counts,
00:15:05.220 right?
00:15:05.420 That's a real thing.
00:15:07.200 It matters
00:15:07.900 to your quality of life.
00:15:09.620 So if you think
00:15:10.520 that getting the vaccination
00:15:11.820 would make you
00:15:13.020 panicked for years
00:15:14.240 that it might have
00:15:14.940 some side effect,
00:15:16.740 well,
00:15:17.000 take that into account.
00:15:18.880 My personal
00:15:20.080 anecdotal
00:15:20.940 experience
00:15:22.280 was that getting
00:15:23.480 the first
00:15:24.120 of the two shots,
00:15:25.520 I got the Moderna,
00:15:26.880 but getting the first
00:15:27.920 made me feel better,
00:15:30.200 not worse.
00:15:31.440 So in my mind,
00:15:32.860 both my rational mind
00:15:34.240 and I guess
00:15:34.940 my irrational mind
00:15:36.020 as well,
00:15:37.000 I feel,
00:15:38.260 and it's just
00:15:38.660 a feeling,
00:15:39.620 right?
00:15:40.120 Because we don't
00:15:40.860 know the risks
00:15:41.900 exactly,
00:15:42.500 it's just a feeling.
00:15:43.620 I feel safer.
00:15:46.040 I feel safer.
00:15:47.720 Now,
00:15:48.300 would you?
00:15:49.260 Would you feel
00:15:50.340 safer
00:15:50.840 getting a vaccination?
00:15:52.520 If you wouldn't,
00:15:55.900 then maybe,
00:15:56.800 maybe you take
00:15:57.820 that into consideration.
00:15:59.160 I wasn't sure
00:16:00.300 I would,
00:16:01.540 but I do.
00:16:02.580 It's unambiguous
00:16:03.540 in my case,
00:16:04.500 but I can't guarantee
00:16:05.360 that would happen
00:16:05.860 to you.
00:16:07.060 The other thing
00:16:07.880 is the social good.
00:16:09.460 So there's one thing
00:16:10.760 to make a decision
00:16:11.540 that is good for you
00:16:12.720 and you have
00:16:13.200 every right,
00:16:14.560 every right,
00:16:15.520 morally,
00:16:16.120 ethically,
00:16:16.620 just completely,
00:16:17.740 to just make a decision
00:16:19.080 that's right for you
00:16:20.100 without any regard
00:16:21.960 to what it might mean
00:16:23.580 to anybody else's health.
00:16:25.440 You have every right
00:16:26.800 to do that,
00:16:27.540 right?
00:16:29.100 Just as you have
00:16:30.340 every right to
00:16:31.180 not join the military.
00:16:34.440 But we do give respect
00:16:36.020 to people who do
00:16:36.860 because we know
00:16:37.980 that people who do
00:16:38.700 join the military
00:16:39.560 are taking on
00:16:41.040 an extra risk
00:16:42.200 and a big part of that
00:16:44.480 is for the benefit
00:16:45.360 of other people,
00:16:47.180 strangers,
00:16:47.820 people they've never met,
00:16:49.100 other Americans.
00:16:50.760 So,
00:16:51.680 this is one of these
00:16:52.760 rare cases
00:16:53.440 where people like me
00:16:54.920 and your situation
00:16:56.300 could be completely different.
00:16:58.060 So this should not
00:16:58.700 influence your decision.
00:17:00.380 But I've had a good run,
00:17:02.260 meaning,
00:17:03.740 you know,
00:17:04.080 I've reached a certain age
00:17:05.400 and if I died tomorrow,
00:17:08.000 you know,
00:17:09.680 taking on some risk
00:17:11.560 that might have been,
00:17:12.820 you know,
00:17:13.140 in a small way
00:17:14.160 beneficial to the country,
00:17:16.060 eh,
00:17:16.420 I'm okay with that.
00:17:17.440 I feel that's a risk
00:17:18.800 that I'm willing to take.
00:17:20.920 If you were really young,
00:17:22.400 maybe you would
00:17:23.000 weight things differently.
00:17:24.220 You'd have more years
00:17:25.220 to live than I do.
00:17:26.720 So your cost-benefit
00:17:28.140 is a little bit different.
00:17:29.460 But in my case,
00:17:30.460 I did not join the military.
00:17:32.720 I did not serve the country
00:17:34.240 in that way,
00:17:35.400 which I respect.
00:17:36.240 But here's a situation
00:17:38.840 where I can be part of
00:17:41.400 maybe reducing the spread.
00:17:43.680 Maybe I'm a small part
00:17:45.180 of making it safer
00:17:46.480 to go out to eat
00:17:47.300 if you're not vaccinated.
00:17:49.160 You know,
00:17:49.380 maybe I can make it safer
00:17:50.460 for those of you
00:17:51.200 who don't want
00:17:51.960 to get vaccinated.
00:17:53.640 I count that
00:17:54.540 as something useful.
00:17:56.160 Now,
00:17:56.360 how much weight
00:17:57.240 you give that?
00:17:58.600 Totally personal,
00:18:00.660 completely personal decision.
00:18:03.100 Now,
00:18:03.420 somebody asked
00:18:03.900 about therapeutics.
00:18:04.880 What about therapeutics?
00:18:08.180 The problems
00:18:09.100 with therapeutics
00:18:10.160 are availability.
00:18:12.180 Do you actually
00:18:12.880 have availability of,
00:18:14.800 I know some of you
00:18:15.560 think ivermectin works.
00:18:17.040 Some of you think
00:18:17.800 hydroxychloroquine works.
00:18:19.980 I'm not a doctor.
00:18:21.100 I'm not promoting
00:18:21.840 either of those
00:18:22.840 for any reason whatsoever.
00:18:24.480 I'm just saying
00:18:25.260 that some of you
00:18:25.780 have asked me about them.
00:18:27.120 I don't know
00:18:27.800 that you would have
00:18:28.320 the availability.
00:18:29.580 I don't know
00:18:30.160 that you would know
00:18:30.880 to start early enough.
00:18:33.240 And I don't know
00:18:34.160 what their risk profile
00:18:35.260 is relative
00:18:36.700 to the vaccinations.
00:18:38.740 I think they're all
00:18:39.780 such a low risk
00:18:40.680 that doing any one
00:18:41.800 of them is probably
00:18:42.660 pretty close
00:18:43.940 to zero risk.
00:18:48.400 Yes,
00:18:48.880 if you get the vaccine,
00:18:49.900 it doesn't mean
00:18:50.740 that you can't
00:18:51.780 get the virus again,
00:18:52.960 which is what I indicated
00:18:54.260 on my board there.
00:18:55.600 All right,
00:18:55.940 so I would say
00:18:56.580 that your therapeutic decision,
00:18:59.240 you should treat
00:19:00.040 somewhat separately.
00:19:01.180 if you're not
00:19:02.420 going to get
00:19:02.780 the vaccination,
00:19:04.480 well,
00:19:04.860 maybe you think
00:19:05.460 a little bit more
00:19:06.260 about the therapeutics.
00:19:08.900 And if you do
00:19:09.680 get the vaccination,
00:19:10.700 maybe that's one less
00:19:11.520 thing you have
00:19:11.980 to worry about.
00:19:13.460 All right,
00:19:14.220 is everybody okay
00:19:16.320 with the way
00:19:17.280 I've described this
00:19:18.240 and not giving you
00:19:19.180 any pressure
00:19:19.780 to change your mind?
00:19:21.060 That's not my deal,
00:19:22.400 and you shouldn't
00:19:22.940 take any medical
00:19:23.800 advice from me.
00:19:25.000 But if it helps
00:19:25.940 you think about it
00:19:26.700 differently,
00:19:27.500 that's all I was
00:19:28.660 trying to do.
00:19:29.120 All right.
00:19:31.640 Do you want
00:19:32.340 to get weird?
00:19:34.300 You want to get weird?
00:19:35.380 Come on.
00:19:37.860 Let's get weird.
00:19:40.480 All right.
00:19:42.980 I've told you
00:19:43.760 about this thing
00:19:44.340 called affirmations
00:19:45.340 before,
00:19:46.300 where you just
00:19:47.340 focus on something
00:19:48.580 you want to happen
00:19:49.940 to your life,
00:19:50.560 something good.
00:19:51.700 It's better to have
00:19:52.320 a general affirmation,
00:19:53.660 such as wealth
00:19:55.620 or finding love
00:19:57.700 or being healthy,
00:19:59.440 that sort of thing,
00:20:00.420 as opposed to being
00:20:01.220 too specific,
00:20:02.440 as in,
00:20:02.960 I'll get this
00:20:03.520 specific promotion.
00:20:05.660 And,
00:20:06.200 of course,
00:20:08.180 this is related
00:20:09.200 or might be
00:20:10.300 to the idea
00:20:11.320 that we live
00:20:11.900 in a simulation
00:20:12.660 or the idea
00:20:14.100 that our reality
00:20:15.740 is subjective,
00:20:17.460 which I'm going
00:20:18.580 to argue today
00:20:19.480 is not really
00:20:20.920 too different
00:20:21.620 from living
00:20:22.680 in a simulation.
00:20:23.600 Now,
00:20:24.620 the simulation idea
00:20:25.620 is that there's
00:20:26.280 some entity
00:20:27.160 or intelligence
00:20:28.740 that programmed us
00:20:30.360 and we're basically
00:20:31.240 software,
00:20:32.580 but we don't know it.
00:20:34.520 So that's what
00:20:35.200 the simulation assumes.
00:20:37.520 But,
00:20:38.140 suppose that's
00:20:39.460 not the case exactly,
00:20:41.180 but rather
00:20:41.720 there's some
00:20:42.240 base reality,
00:20:43.540 but we're not
00:20:44.500 evolved enough
00:20:45.340 to see it.
00:20:46.620 So we think
00:20:47.660 we can interact
00:20:48.740 with a real reality,
00:20:50.360 but really
00:20:50.840 we just all have
00:20:51.800 little movies
00:20:52.360 in our head
00:20:53.040 that are the reality
00:20:54.680 for us
00:20:55.540 for all practical purposes.
00:20:57.960 So,
00:20:58.440 although these
00:20:59.200 are different ideas,
00:21:00.220 they're not so different
00:21:01.380 because they both
00:21:02.380 require an intelligence
00:21:04.640 that's creating
00:21:06.120 an artificial world.
00:21:07.840 One is in a computer,
00:21:09.980 one is in your mind,
00:21:11.780 but your mind
00:21:13.000 is basically
00:21:13.540 just a moist computer.
00:21:15.700 So I'm going
00:21:16.380 to treat them
00:21:16.840 as though they're
00:21:17.320 a little bit similar
00:21:18.380 because it's a good way
00:21:20.200 to make my point
00:21:20.960 about affirmations.
00:21:23.080 Now,
00:21:23.340 if we're in a simulation
00:21:24.380 or,
00:21:25.620 and here's the fun part,
00:21:27.340 or if we just live
00:21:28.500 in a subjective reality
00:21:30.120 that has some base to it
00:21:32.020 but we don't have
00:21:33.100 access to it,
00:21:34.240 in either case,
00:21:35.980 we might be able
00:21:36.740 to program it
00:21:37.760 through affirmations.
00:21:40.660 Now,
00:21:41.180 this is just
00:21:41.680 a hypothesis
00:21:42.400 and it's just
00:21:43.980 for fun.
00:21:45.160 All right?
00:21:45.600 Don't take any
00:21:46.440 of this too seriously.
00:21:47.620 It's just a different
00:21:48.660 filter on the world.
00:21:49.620 And I'm going
00:21:50.720 to tell you
00:21:51.020 about a little
00:21:51.500 experience
00:21:52.220 after I give you
00:21:53.060 a little more context.
00:21:55.160 If we're a simulation
00:21:56.440 or a subjective reality,
00:21:58.580 in both cases,
00:21:59.960 there's probably
00:22:00.680 some computer
00:22:01.680 constraints.
00:22:03.080 Your brain
00:22:03.480 is only going
00:22:04.040 to be able
00:22:04.520 to hold
00:22:04.820 so many things
00:22:05.560 and a computer
00:22:06.700 only has
00:22:07.200 so much memory.
00:22:08.180 so you would
00:22:10.280 have code reuse
00:22:11.140 which is certain
00:22:11.760 patterns you would
00:22:12.560 see over and over
00:22:13.300 again.
00:22:14.080 Now,
00:22:15.800 would those patterns
00:22:17.140 start to be more
00:22:18.580 common?
00:22:20.240 In other words,
00:22:20.840 would you see
00:22:21.260 more coincidences
00:22:22.280 and more
00:22:22.980 reused patterns
00:22:24.760 as the simulation
00:22:26.560 gets populated
00:22:28.020 and filled up
00:22:29.320 and the capacity
00:22:30.640 gets constrained?
00:22:32.420 Well,
00:22:32.980 I think you would,
00:22:33.880 naturally.
00:22:34.800 And so you would
00:22:35.440 start cutting corners
00:22:37.320 to save resources.
00:22:38.980 So you would
00:22:39.460 reuse ideas,
00:22:40.960 reuse code,
00:22:42.440 reuse patterns
00:22:43.280 to create
00:22:44.240 your simulated reality.
00:22:45.900 You would also,
00:22:46.620 if you had
00:22:46.960 computer constraints,
00:22:48.540 you wouldn't ever
00:22:49.360 see any good
00:22:50.020 pictures of aliens
00:22:50.900 because you don't
00:22:52.060 really need any aliens.
00:22:53.680 It would be extra.
00:22:55.400 You don't want to
00:22:56.000 build a whole world
00:22:57.020 of aliens
00:22:57.620 that nobody's
00:22:58.580 ever going to see.
00:22:59.500 That would be
00:22:59.920 a waste of resources.
00:23:01.280 So I don't think
00:23:02.180 we'll ever see
00:23:02.660 real aliens.
00:23:03.960 It makes sense
00:23:04.980 that the universe
00:23:05.580 is finite in size.
00:23:07.860 Your brain
00:23:08.580 can't understand that.
00:23:10.080 It makes no sense.
00:23:11.640 But we do know
00:23:12.700 that the universe
00:23:13.860 is expanding
00:23:14.760 and therefore
00:23:16.000 at any moment
00:23:16.800 it's a finite size.
00:23:18.840 How does that
00:23:19.360 even make sense?
00:23:20.640 It only makes sense
00:23:21.740 if we're a simulation
00:23:22.640 because the simulation
00:23:24.580 has to constrain
00:23:26.320 how much resources
00:23:27.280 it uses.
00:23:28.860 And then this
00:23:29.580 is just for fun.
00:23:30.720 Doesn't it seem like
00:23:31.420 there are too many houses
00:23:32.340 for how many people
00:23:34.020 there are?
00:23:34.380 If you were going
00:23:36.240 to build a simulation
00:23:37.160 you wouldn't
00:23:38.120 put people
00:23:39.460 in the houses
00:23:40.240 if people are just
00:23:41.560 going to drive by
00:23:42.280 and not see them.
00:23:43.340 You would have
00:23:43.940 lots of empty houses
00:23:44.940 because it would seem
00:23:46.340 as though they were
00:23:47.060 populated
00:23:47.640 but it would be
00:23:48.720 the lowest resource
00:23:50.020 way
00:23:50.900 to create the impression
00:23:52.580 of a large population
00:23:54.140 without having to
00:23:55.560 program lots of people.
00:23:57.200 There would just be
00:23:57.700 lots of houses.
00:23:58.340 Now if you've ever
00:23:59.800 noticed that
00:24:00.380 your neighborhood
00:24:00.980 seems to have
00:24:01.640 way more houses
00:24:02.800 or homes
00:24:04.040 or apartments
00:24:04.740 than there are
00:24:05.780 people walking around
00:24:06.840 well maybe
00:24:08.620 you live in a simulation.
00:24:10.200 Again if you're
00:24:10.700 just joining
00:24:11.160 this is just for fun
00:24:12.220 don't take it
00:24:12.820 too seriously.
00:24:14.420 Alright
00:24:14.560 what would you see
00:24:16.180 if the patterns
00:24:17.440 are being reused
00:24:18.240 and there's a resource
00:24:19.140 problem
00:24:19.660 you'd see more
00:24:20.400 coincidences.
00:24:22.260 Right?
00:24:23.020 Have you noticed
00:24:23.800 an acceleration
00:24:24.560 of coincidences
00:24:26.020 lately?
00:24:26.720 I want to see
00:24:28.380 in the comments
00:24:28.940 if anybody's
00:24:29.560 noticed this.
00:24:30.760 In your own life
00:24:31.640 have you seen
00:24:33.100 an acceleration
00:24:34.020 of patterns
00:24:35.300 being reused
00:24:36.300 just recently
00:24:37.480 like the last
00:24:38.240 year or two
00:24:39.020 and coincidences?
00:24:41.800 Look at the
00:24:42.640 comments.
00:24:44.100 Now I see a lot
00:24:44.700 of no's
00:24:45.160 but look how many
00:24:45.780 yes's there are.
00:24:47.620 Alright
00:24:47.880 now that's probably
00:24:48.920 confirmation bias
00:24:50.040 right?
00:24:51.280 Probably
00:24:51.800 you're just
00:24:52.340 noticing it
00:24:53.060 but maybe
00:24:53.700 there's no
00:24:54.220 greater coincidence
00:24:55.120 than ever.
00:24:55.740 but
00:24:56.920 if we're
00:24:57.840 a simulation
00:24:58.440 you would
00:24:59.520 sort of
00:24:59.920 expect to
00:25:00.480 see more
00:25:00.860 coincidences
00:25:01.580 just because
00:25:02.220 of code
00:25:02.680 reuse
00:25:03.160 and pattern
00:25:04.180 reuse.
00:25:05.120 So I have
00:25:05.600 this hypothesis
00:25:06.260 that you can
00:25:06.940 author the
00:25:07.560 simulation
00:25:08.060 just by
00:25:09.280 affirmations.
00:25:10.300 Doesn't mean
00:25:11.020 that you have
00:25:11.400 to write it
00:25:11.860 down
00:25:12.180 or chant
00:25:12.840 it
00:25:13.080 or do
00:25:13.460 anything.
00:25:14.120 You just
00:25:14.540 have to
00:25:14.860 focus on
00:25:15.440 what you
00:25:15.760 want
00:25:16.160 and put
00:25:17.020 your
00:25:17.240 intentions
00:25:17.960 very clearly
00:25:18.800 into the
00:25:19.340 universe.
00:25:20.560 And as long
00:25:21.020 as there's
00:25:21.360 nobody who
00:25:21.840 has the
00:25:22.180 opposite
00:25:22.600 intention
00:25:23.320 who is
00:25:24.240 trying to
00:25:24.800 program
00:25:25.460 things the
00:25:26.120 other way
00:25:26.600 maybe you
00:25:27.980 get what
00:25:28.280 you want.
00:25:29.340 So
00:25:29.520 Christina
00:25:30.120 and I
00:25:30.580 here's the
00:25:31.620 freaky
00:25:31.900 part
00:25:32.200 are you
00:25:32.320 ready?
00:25:34.060 We did
00:25:34.860 an experiment
00:25:35.500 in the past
00:25:36.340 few weeks
00:25:37.200 and the
00:25:38.040 experiment
00:25:38.440 was to
00:25:39.080 see if
00:25:39.460 we could
00:25:39.840 use
00:25:40.320 affirmations
00:25:41.760 to just
00:25:42.760 focus on
00:25:43.600 an intention
00:25:44.220 for free
00:25:45.700 money to
00:25:46.400 appear to
00:25:47.000 us.
00:25:48.200 Now by
00:25:48.580 free money
00:25:49.240 I mean
00:25:49.760 something that
00:25:50.340 we didn't
00:25:50.740 plan
00:25:51.200 or
00:25:51.880 something
00:25:52.220 that
00:25:52.460 wouldn't
00:25:52.680 be part
00:25:53.080 of my
00:25:53.320 normal
00:25:53.660 work.
00:25:54.880 So for
00:25:55.160 example
00:25:55.500 if somebody
00:25:56.040 had offered
00:25:56.440 me let's
00:25:57.220 say a
00:25:57.480 book contract
00:25:58.400 that wouldn't
00:25:59.420 count because
00:26:00.440 that's sort
00:26:00.860 of my
00:26:01.100 normal routine
00:26:02.660 is that I
00:26:03.400 get contracts
00:26:04.200 I don't
00:26:05.040 always know
00:26:05.480 when they're
00:26:05.760 coming.
00:26:06.640 I'm talking
00:26:07.320 about a
00:26:08.520 weird money
00:26:09.480 from nothing
00:26:10.160 like just
00:26:11.500 magic money
00:26:13.120 that just
00:26:14.040 appears.
00:26:15.560 That's what
00:26:16.240 we were
00:26:16.540 affirming.
00:26:17.700 So we
00:26:18.180 started doing
00:26:18.640 this and a
00:26:19.100 few days
00:26:19.460 later my
00:26:20.000 publisher
00:26:20.640 my syndication
00:26:21.460 company says
00:26:23.060 your contract
00:26:24.400 that we've
00:26:25.480 had for 10
00:26:26.120 years is
00:26:26.580 running out
00:26:27.080 and the
00:26:28.300 new contract
00:26:28.920 specifies that
00:26:29.780 you'll get a
00:26:30.280 signing bonus
00:26:31.060 and we're
00:26:32.220 going to give
00:26:32.600 you this
00:26:32.880 bunch of
00:26:33.320 money.
00:26:34.680 And I
00:26:35.320 thought well
00:26:36.220 I had no
00:26:36.600 idea that
00:26:37.060 was coming.
00:26:38.080 And it
00:26:38.540 happened just
00:26:39.120 days just a
00:26:40.780 few days after
00:26:41.980 we started this
00:26:42.800 experiment and
00:26:44.120 sure enough this
00:26:44.860 little unexpected
00:26:45.840 pile of money
00:26:46.880 came my way.
00:26:48.020 But I said to
00:26:48.440 myself I
00:26:49.120 I don't
00:26:50.120 know if
00:26:50.500 this counts
00:26:51.140 because it
00:26:52.580 was in the
00:26:53.040 contract it
00:26:54.080 was you know
00:26:54.600 I didn't know
00:26:55.160 about it but
00:26:56.400 it was something
00:26:56.820 I did to
00:26:57.600 make it happen
00:26:58.240 right.
00:26:58.760 It's something
00:26:59.140 I negotiated
00:26:59.820 years ago or
00:27:01.280 actually negotiated
00:27:02.180 recently.
00:27:03.380 And so we
00:27:04.720 said let's just
00:27:05.580 keep going
00:27:06.080 because that
00:27:06.420 one doesn't
00:27:06.840 count right.
00:27:07.820 Yeah that
00:27:08.060 one doesn't
00:27:08.440 count.
00:27:09.660 So then I
00:27:10.820 get an email
00:27:11.400 just days later
00:27:12.560 just a few
00:27:13.720 days later I
00:27:14.280 get an email
00:27:14.720 also from my
00:27:15.860 syndication company
00:27:16.720 saying that
00:27:18.000 they couldn't
00:27:18.680 remember if
00:27:19.260 they told
00:27:19.740 me but
00:27:20.900 they noticed
00:27:22.280 in the
00:27:22.600 contract that
00:27:23.640 after 10
00:27:24.340 years there
00:27:24.960 was a
00:27:25.280 guaranteed
00:27:25.720 true up
00:27:26.680 number meaning
00:27:27.940 that if some
00:27:28.760 goals were not
00:27:29.520 met they
00:27:30.460 would owe me
00:27:31.060 a large amount
00:27:31.840 of money and
00:27:33.040 they had already
00:27:33.640 wired it to
00:27:34.240 me so that I
00:27:36.240 wouldn't be
00:27:36.580 surprised that a
00:27:37.940 large amount of
00:27:38.540 money appeared in
00:27:39.340 my bank.
00:27:41.220 No idea.
00:27:42.140 I had no
00:27:44.360 idea that
00:27:45.480 10 years ago
00:27:46.440 I had
00:27:47.060 negotiated so
00:27:48.500 cleverly that
00:27:50.220 under these
00:27:51.160 conditions that
00:27:51.980 happened I
00:27:53.160 would get a
00:27:53.580 large pile of
00:27:54.380 money.
00:27:55.140 Does that
00:27:55.780 count?
00:27:57.000 Nope.
00:27:58.240 Not going to
00:27:58.800 count it.
00:27:59.860 Not going to
00:28:00.400 count it.
00:28:01.020 Because I
00:28:01.480 negotiated that.
00:28:02.960 Right?
00:28:03.320 I just forgot
00:28:04.260 about it.
00:28:05.060 So that's not
00:28:05.560 really magic is
00:28:06.760 it?
00:28:06.980 That's just
00:28:07.340 something I
00:28:07.780 forgot about.
00:28:09.200 Kind of a
00:28:09.780 coincidence.
00:28:11.020 So that's
00:28:11.420 like two
00:28:12.420 coincidences but
00:28:14.080 I would say we
00:28:14.880 don't count
00:28:15.380 those.
00:28:16.780 So I said to
00:28:17.740 Christina let's
00:28:18.320 not count those.
00:28:19.060 Let's just keep
00:28:19.520 going.
00:28:20.260 We'll just try to
00:28:20.820 make some really
00:28:21.640 weird magic money
00:28:23.800 appear.
00:28:26.160 Yesterday I
00:28:28.560 decided to
00:28:29.460 sign up for
00:28:31.740 Coinbase and
00:28:33.640 realized that I
00:28:34.360 had already
00:28:34.700 signed up before.
00:28:36.380 Now Coinbase is
00:28:37.300 the place for
00:28:37.980 trading cryptos
00:28:39.340 etc.
00:28:39.700 and I
00:28:41.520 signed into
00:28:41.960 my crypto
00:28:42.960 wallet that I
00:28:43.740 hadn't used
00:28:44.400 forever because
00:28:46.080 I don't really
00:28:46.660 play in the
00:28:47.660 crypto field at
00:28:49.140 all.
00:28:49.920 I've just
00:28:50.720 dabbled.
00:28:52.000 And I was
00:28:53.960 doing it for a
00:28:54.620 specific thing.
00:28:55.480 I was actually
00:28:55.920 just moving the
00:28:56.760 money around from
00:28:57.780 the NFT, the
00:28:58.820 Dilber NFT that
00:28:59.740 just sold on
00:29:00.620 auction.
00:29:01.440 So I was just
00:29:01.980 signing up to
00:29:03.560 my accounts to
00:29:04.940 move that
00:29:05.360 around.
00:29:05.640 and I
00:29:08.320 opened up my
00:29:08.860 account and
00:29:11.680 there's this
00:29:12.060 really big
00:29:13.300 number there
00:29:14.060 which is weird
00:29:16.560 because I
00:29:17.800 didn't have
00:29:18.180 anything in my
00:29:18.840 account that I
00:29:20.600 remembered.
00:29:21.960 But it turns out
00:29:23.080 that some time
00:29:24.340 ago in my
00:29:24.900 past, I don't
00:29:26.120 remember it
00:29:26.680 specifically, I
00:29:28.240 thought to myself
00:29:28.960 that I wanted to
00:29:29.700 buy something with
00:29:30.540 some cryptocurrency
00:29:31.300 and apparently
00:29:33.800 I had put, I
00:29:35.880 bought some
00:29:36.440 crypto just to
00:29:38.320 use for some
00:29:39.200 expenses.
00:29:40.660 I wasn't
00:29:41.500 planning to, you
00:29:42.260 know, keep it or
00:29:43.000 hold it or
00:29:43.900 anything.
00:29:45.020 And you may
00:29:46.840 have heard of
00:29:47.220 it.
00:29:47.420 It's something
00:29:47.740 called Ethereum.
00:29:51.060 It turns out
00:29:52.220 those of you
00:29:53.680 who follow
00:29:54.140 crypto, you're
00:29:56.000 already laughing.
00:29:57.760 That's right.
00:29:58.440 I accidentally
00:30:00.540 completely
00:30:02.700 accidentally
00:30:03.500 bought Ethereum
00:30:05.820 at the bottom.
00:30:09.380 I think I
00:30:10.440 put less
00:30:11.220 than a few
00:30:11.920 thousand dollars
00:30:12.780 into it at
00:30:13.420 the time.
00:30:15.040 It's worth
00:30:15.960 three hundred
00:30:16.440 thousand dollars
00:30:17.360 today.
00:30:20.420 Three hundred
00:30:21.240 thousand dollars
00:30:22.180 out of
00:30:24.240 nowhere.
00:30:26.080 Literally,
00:30:27.460 not literally,
00:30:28.440 but just
00:30:29.720 out of
00:30:29.960 nowhere.
00:30:31.020 It just
00:30:31.420 appeared.
00:30:32.800 Now, that's
00:30:33.980 my story.
00:30:37.080 Now, I
00:30:37.780 can only tell
00:30:38.420 you that
00:30:39.620 Christine and
00:30:40.340 I were
00:30:41.060 legitimately
00:30:42.060 testing to
00:30:43.640 see if we
00:30:44.160 could make
00:30:44.540 money appear
00:30:45.200 out of
00:30:46.100 nowhere.
00:30:47.940 I'm not
00:30:48.620 lying.
00:30:49.580 These things
00:30:50.220 actually happened.
00:30:51.680 And like I
00:30:52.040 say, the
00:30:52.360 first two,
00:30:53.640 you could
00:30:54.240 say that
00:30:55.100 those were
00:30:55.460 just coincidence
00:30:56.180 and nothing
00:30:57.200 special.
00:30:58.440 But the
00:31:00.020 Ethereum, I
00:31:01.500 didn't even
00:31:02.080 know I
00:31:02.460 owned it.
00:31:03.360 I mean, I
00:31:03.820 didn't even
00:31:04.240 know.
00:31:05.140 And it
00:31:05.380 was, when I
00:31:06.620 did own it,
00:31:07.500 it wasn't
00:31:07.920 worth anything,
00:31:08.980 right?
00:31:09.220 It was just
00:31:09.640 a few
00:31:10.420 thousand dollars.
00:31:12.440 So that's
00:31:13.180 my story.
00:31:13.800 Let's talk
00:31:14.140 about something
00:31:14.540 else.
00:31:17.980 There's a
00:31:18.700 propaganda
00:31:19.300 article in
00:31:20.740 The Atlantic
00:31:21.420 which is
00:31:23.760 trying to
00:31:24.220 tell us
00:31:24.640 that China
00:31:25.260 is no
00:31:25.660 big problem
00:31:26.580 to us
00:31:27.000 after all.
00:31:29.220 Now, what
00:31:30.080 do you think
00:31:30.480 about that
00:31:30.900 when you
00:31:31.200 see a
00:31:31.520 story that
00:31:31.960 says, you
00:31:32.780 know, Joe
00:31:33.180 Biden was
00:31:33.700 right, China
00:31:34.760 is no big
00:31:35.280 deal, their
00:31:36.200 military is a
00:31:37.360 paper tiger
00:31:37.980 because they
00:31:39.200 have to use
00:31:39.640 most of
00:31:40.040 their military
00:31:40.520 resources to
00:31:42.140 control their
00:31:42.740 own public,
00:31:43.620 which is a
00:31:44.260 good point
00:31:44.620 actually.
00:31:44.920 that their
00:31:46.680 economy is in
00:31:47.520 trouble because
00:31:48.100 there are going
00:31:48.400 to be too
00:31:48.720 many senior
00:31:49.340 citizens, their
00:31:50.340 population may
00:31:51.780 have decreased,
00:31:52.840 and they got
00:31:53.180 all kinds of
00:31:53.660 problems.
00:31:54.620 Now, I think
00:31:55.340 all those things
00:31:55.920 are reasonably
00:31:56.480 true, but
00:31:58.240 this article
00:31:58.820 doesn't mention
00:31:59.480 all the fentanyl
00:32:00.400 they're sending
00:32:00.900 us and all the
00:32:02.180 persuasion they're
00:32:03.000 doing by the
00:32:03.520 internet and
00:32:05.180 stealing of
00:32:06.320 intellectual property
00:32:08.220 which will be
00:32:08.800 forever and
00:32:09.420 trying to
00:32:09.780 dominate the
00:32:10.880 internet and
00:32:11.540 God knows
00:32:11.980 what.
00:32:13.060 So, I'm a
00:32:14.820 little, I
00:32:15.340 have a mixed
00:32:16.040 feeling here
00:32:16.640 when we see
00:32:18.720 that China
00:32:19.160 isn't the big
00:32:20.120 problem that
00:32:20.840 some people
00:32:21.360 think, because
00:32:22.680 if they're
00:32:23.060 sending us
00:32:23.500 fentanyl and
00:32:24.140 killing 50,000
00:32:25.220 people a year,
00:32:26.400 I feel like
00:32:27.140 that's our
00:32:27.520 biggest problem,
00:32:28.580 isn't it?
00:32:29.660 And that's just
00:32:30.240 one little thing
00:32:30.900 they're doing.
00:32:32.100 So, I still
00:32:33.100 think they're
00:32:33.500 our biggest
00:32:33.900 problem, but
00:32:35.020 I would agree
00:32:35.660 with the tone
00:32:37.300 of the article
00:32:37.860 that the United
00:32:39.520 States has more
00:32:40.280 advantages than
00:32:41.220 they do, and
00:32:42.060 that might
00:32:42.640 last.
00:32:44.820 So, I
00:32:46.080 won't be too
00:32:46.860 worried about
00:32:47.340 them, but
00:32:47.640 we have to
00:32:48.000 put maximum
00:32:48.560 pressure on
00:32:49.500 that situation.
00:32:53.140 So, big
00:32:54.300 story today,
00:32:55.220 there are
00:32:55.480 these new
00:32:55.960 emails being
00:32:56.720 released from
00:32:58.220 the Mueller
00:32:58.580 investigation showing
00:32:59.680 the private
00:33:00.180 communications of,
00:33:01.840 let's see,
00:33:02.360 Flynn,
00:33:02.820 Manafort,
00:33:03.480 Bannon,
00:33:04.260 Kushner,
00:33:04.840 etc.
00:33:06.700 And here's
00:33:07.540 the thing,
00:33:08.680 they don't
00:33:09.180 seem to have
00:33:09.760 any news
00:33:10.300 value, but
00:33:12.140 they're in
00:33:12.540 the news.
00:33:14.120 Since when
00:33:14.800 is it okay
00:33:15.520 to just
00:33:16.700 publish people's
00:33:17.580 private email
00:33:18.600 when there's
00:33:19.900 no news
00:33:20.320 value?
00:33:21.120 Because I
00:33:21.560 don't believe
00:33:22.200 there's even
00:33:22.660 a claim that
00:33:23.680 anything in
00:33:24.380 them has
00:33:25.900 any news
00:33:26.400 value.
00:33:28.600 This is just
00:33:29.500 disgusting.
00:33:30.680 Like, what
00:33:31.200 have we become
00:33:31.920 that this is
00:33:33.320 okay?
00:33:34.100 And why is
00:33:34.780 anybody okay
00:33:35.560 with this?
00:33:36.180 I don't think
00:33:36.660 this has to
00:33:37.220 do with what
00:33:38.260 political side
00:33:39.060 you're on.
00:33:39.440 I mean, I'd
00:33:40.080 be saying
00:33:40.400 the same
00:33:40.860 if this
00:33:41.960 were Democrats
00:33:42.740 or Republicans.
00:33:43.920 I mean, why
00:33:44.280 are we looking
00:33:44.720 at private
00:33:45.220 emails?
00:33:46.100 This is way
00:33:46.920 beyond okay.
00:33:51.420 So, here's
00:33:52.340 a little stuff
00:33:53.320 I learned
00:33:53.680 about the
00:33:54.260 Arizona
00:33:55.060 audit of
00:33:56.480 the 2020
00:33:57.800 election in
00:33:58.820 Maricopa
00:33:59.260 County.
00:34:00.620 So, I
00:34:02.920 did not
00:34:03.300 know this.
00:34:04.100 Did you
00:34:04.380 know that
00:34:05.200 prior audits
00:34:06.560 were statistically
00:34:08.560 valid, meaning
00:34:11.280 that they
00:34:12.100 had enough
00:34:12.580 of a sample
00:34:13.280 that they
00:34:13.680 already audited
00:34:14.460 that statistically
00:34:16.040 speaking, if
00:34:17.020 there had been
00:34:17.440 a problem
00:34:17.920 that the
00:34:18.620 sample was
00:34:19.080 big enough
00:34:19.540 that it
00:34:20.320 would have
00:34:20.720 found it.
00:34:23.580 But would
00:34:24.140 it?
00:34:25.320 I would like
00:34:26.080 to question
00:34:26.680 that.
00:34:27.720 If you do
00:34:29.000 an audit
00:34:30.120 that only
00:34:31.060 samples,
00:34:32.060 no matter
00:34:32.640 how good
00:34:33.720 your representative
00:34:34.420 sample is,
00:34:35.280 is that
00:34:36.180 really going
00:34:36.560 to catch
00:34:36.860 fraud?
00:34:37.900 Because it
00:34:38.500 seems to me
00:34:38.940 fraud would
00:34:39.540 be in a
00:34:40.260 pocket.
00:34:41.580 And there's
00:34:41.920 no reason to
00:34:42.520 believe that
00:34:43.060 your random
00:34:43.860 sample is
00:34:44.680 going to hit
00:34:45.060 that pocket,
00:34:46.060 or even if
00:34:47.040 it did,
00:34:47.580 that one
00:34:49.040 bad ballot
00:34:49.820 would tell
00:34:50.600 you there
00:34:50.880 were some
00:34:51.140 massive
00:34:51.480 problems.
00:34:52.700 So,
00:34:53.620 somebody says
00:34:54.400 the samples
00:34:54.980 were curated.
00:34:55.900 Yeah, the
00:34:56.160 other problem
00:34:56.620 is you never
00:34:57.080 know, right?
00:34:58.120 You never
00:34:58.520 know, because
00:34:59.460 humans do
00:35:00.180 the auditing.
00:35:01.800 So, all you
00:35:02.280 need is humans
00:35:03.380 who want it to
00:35:03.980 go a certain
00:35:04.440 way, and you
00:35:05.000 are probably
00:35:05.260 going to
00:35:05.500 get it.
00:35:06.800 So, but, if
00:35:11.840 it's true that
00:35:13.300 the representative
00:35:14.700 sample found
00:35:15.760 absolutely zero
00:35:16.960 problems, which
00:35:18.120 is being
00:35:18.520 reported, then
00:35:22.300 maybe this
00:35:24.180 will be zero.
00:35:26.060 So, I would
00:35:27.020 say that the
00:35:27.540 odds of the
00:35:28.380 Arizona audit
00:35:29.560 coming out with
00:35:30.440 some massive
00:35:31.500 story about
00:35:33.160 election
00:35:33.780 irregularity
00:35:34.580 probably gets
00:35:36.480 lower every
00:35:37.440 day, right?
00:35:38.740 So, we're
00:35:39.120 just guessing
00:35:39.700 without any
00:35:40.280 information from
00:35:41.000 our perspective.
00:35:42.460 But, every
00:35:43.720 day that you
00:35:44.160 don't hear a
00:35:44.740 leak makes me
00:35:46.660 suspicious, you
00:35:48.080 know, because if
00:35:48.580 there were big
00:35:49.980 problems found, I'm
00:35:52.240 positive it would
00:35:53.160 have leaked
00:35:53.540 already.
00:35:54.340 Even though they
00:35:55.160 want not to
00:35:56.240 leak, even
00:35:56.780 though they're
00:35:57.260 trying not to
00:35:57.960 leak, you know,
00:35:59.080 they really don't
00:35:59.860 want to leak
00:36:00.940 because then
00:36:01.620 we'll get
00:36:02.720 inoculated before
00:36:03.760 they have the
00:36:04.780 big reveal, maybe.
00:36:06.520 But I just
00:36:07.180 don't think this
00:36:07.960 could not leak.
00:36:09.180 It's just not
00:36:09.800 in the category
00:36:10.480 of things that
00:36:11.120 don't leak.
00:36:12.560 It would be too
00:36:13.240 easy to leak.
00:36:14.820 So, if we
00:36:15.880 haven't heard
00:36:16.260 anything yet, I
00:36:17.060 think the odds
00:36:17.580 of that coming
00:36:18.200 up with something
00:36:18.840 get lower every
00:36:19.960 day, but not
00:36:20.980 zero.
00:36:21.960 And like I
00:36:22.560 always said,
00:36:23.440 whether there
00:36:24.540 was any fraud
00:36:25.420 or not, there
00:36:27.460 will be.
00:36:27.880 there will
00:36:29.640 be, because
00:36:30.560 it's a system
00:36:31.340 that there's a
00:36:33.780 high incentive
00:36:34.700 to do something
00:36:36.620 with it, and
00:36:37.940 there are enough
00:36:38.480 people who want
00:36:39.040 to, that over
00:36:40.020 time, somebody's
00:36:40.960 going to be
00:36:41.280 successful.
00:36:41.960 You just don't
00:36:42.420 know if it's
00:36:42.780 happened yet.
00:36:44.540 All right.
00:36:45.880 I guess the
00:36:46.340 Olympics is
00:36:46.980 banning Black
00:36:48.820 Lives Matter
00:36:49.520 apparel, as
00:36:51.500 well as all
00:36:52.300 political
00:36:53.020 clothing.
00:36:55.220 And I think
00:36:55.820 to myself,
00:36:57.420 why do
00:36:57.860 we have
00:36:58.220 Olympics?
00:36:59.660 Olympics are
00:37:00.320 just a total
00:37:00.900 waste of
00:37:01.340 time.
00:37:02.240 There are a
00:37:03.160 few things that
00:37:03.860 I dislike as
00:37:04.940 much as the
00:37:05.520 Olympics, because
00:37:06.820 it masquerades
00:37:07.740 as a good
00:37:08.280 thing, but I
00:37:09.280 don't think it
00:37:09.800 is.
00:37:10.860 I think it's
00:37:11.560 kind of a
00:37:12.000 dark thing,
00:37:13.280 because for
00:37:13.800 every few
00:37:14.920 people who
00:37:15.440 win some
00:37:15.980 medals, there
00:37:17.320 are all these
00:37:17.780 people who
00:37:18.240 wasted their
00:37:18.840 entire youth
00:37:19.620 training for
00:37:20.700 something that
00:37:21.220 made no
00:37:21.620 difference at
00:37:22.120 all to them.
00:37:23.160 So I just
00:37:23.960 don't like the
00:37:24.680 model of it.
00:37:26.120 But we'll see
00:37:27.220 if they can
00:37:27.640 get away
00:37:28.040 with getting
00:37:28.760 rid of the
00:37:29.620 Black Lives
00:37:30.440 Matter and
00:37:32.220 other political
00:37:33.000 statements.
00:37:36.300 You know, one
00:37:36.960 of the ways
00:37:37.320 that you know
00:37:37.820 that the news
00:37:38.540 is controlling
00:37:39.220 us is that
00:37:40.800 there are some
00:37:41.240 things that
00:37:41.640 look easy to
00:37:42.520 solve that
00:37:44.280 don't get
00:37:45.360 solved.
00:37:45.820 It's because the
00:37:46.480 news keeps us
00:37:47.300 on our teams
00:37:48.620 and battling
00:37:49.040 each other.
00:37:49.940 And one of
00:37:50.420 them is
00:37:51.020 school choice.
00:37:53.340 because it
00:37:54.660 seems to me
00:37:55.220 that if
00:37:55.880 Black Americans
00:37:57.300 wanted reparations
00:37:58.700 and they also
00:38:00.100 wanted better
00:38:00.720 school choice
00:38:01.480 and fix the
00:38:02.600 schools, they
00:38:03.520 would just
00:38:03.820 pair those
00:38:04.420 two topics
00:38:05.140 and say,
00:38:05.640 look, I
00:38:06.460 know it's
00:38:06.820 going to be
00:38:07.060 difficult to
00:38:08.020 write checks.
00:38:09.780 It's probably
00:38:10.660 too much to
00:38:11.280 ask for that
00:38:12.060 checks would
00:38:13.240 go out because
00:38:13.920 we couldn't
00:38:14.300 figure out who
00:38:15.380 should pay and
00:38:16.160 how much and
00:38:16.680 who gets it.
00:38:17.540 But how about
00:38:18.040 this?
00:38:19.140 How about we
00:38:19.840 all agree that
00:38:20.460 the schools could
00:38:21.160 be better?
00:38:21.580 And how
00:38:22.740 about we
00:38:23.100 say that
00:38:23.760 we'll treat
00:38:26.900 reparations as
00:38:28.380 having been
00:38:29.080 solved if you
00:38:31.060 work with us
00:38:31.700 to make the
00:38:32.220 schools for
00:38:32.780 everybody, but
00:38:34.220 it'd be a
00:38:34.900 bigger improvement
00:38:35.900 for the black
00:38:36.560 community because
00:38:37.340 they're in a
00:38:37.720 bigger hole.
00:38:38.480 If we make
00:38:39.160 the schools
00:38:39.520 better for
00:38:39.960 everybody, we're
00:38:41.060 just going to
00:38:41.460 call that
00:38:41.800 reparations and
00:38:42.580 we'll be even.
00:38:43.800 Because it's
00:38:44.700 the biggest
00:38:45.100 need, it's
00:38:46.700 the biggest
00:38:47.020 source of
00:38:47.820 ongoing systemic
00:38:49.220 racism, is
00:38:50.160 the Teachers
00:38:51.160 Union,
00:38:51.580 blocking school
00:38:52.440 choice.
00:38:53.500 So this is
00:38:54.360 one of those
00:38:54.700 cases where
00:38:55.260 there's such
00:38:56.220 an obvious
00:38:56.920 path that it
00:38:58.700 has to be that
00:38:59.400 we're all brainwashed
00:39:00.980 to not solve
00:39:01.940 these problems.
00:39:03.460 And I would
00:39:03.820 say that one
00:39:04.420 of the big
00:39:04.760 problems with
00:39:05.420 especially black
00:39:07.500 leadership, but
00:39:08.420 I guess this
00:39:08.900 would be true of
00:39:09.500 any kind of
00:39:09.980 leadership from
00:39:10.640 any group, so
00:39:12.120 no reason to
00:39:12.820 think it would
00:39:13.140 be especially
00:39:13.760 true in the
00:39:14.260 black community,
00:39:15.500 but the leaders
00:39:17.260 have a different
00:39:17.800 incentive than the
00:39:19.800 people who are
00:39:20.500 being led.
00:39:21.040 the leaders
00:39:22.360 incentive is to
00:39:23.400 keep as much
00:39:23.980 conflict going
00:39:24.780 as possible,
00:39:25.940 because that's
00:39:26.440 how they
00:39:26.860 thrive.
00:39:28.020 What's good for
00:39:28.680 the leaders is
00:39:29.460 to not solve
00:39:30.200 the problem,
00:39:31.460 because then
00:39:32.000 there's no
00:39:32.440 reason for a
00:39:32.960 leader, if you
00:39:34.180 solve everything.
00:39:35.340 So as long
00:39:37.000 as we have that
00:39:37.540 situation plus
00:39:38.380 massive propaganda,
00:39:40.020 there will be
00:39:40.680 somewhat easy
00:39:41.820 solutions to
00:39:42.640 problems that
00:39:43.340 just won't be
00:39:44.180 done, because
00:39:45.680 we're at each
00:39:46.220 other's necks.
00:39:51.360 All right, and
00:39:52.420 there's a story
00:39:53.300 about the
00:39:53.760 Intercept.
00:39:55.040 I think Glenn
00:39:56.660 Greenwald was one
00:39:57.620 of the founders of
00:39:58.340 the Intercept, but
00:39:59.580 now he's no longer
00:40:00.640 with them and is a
00:40:02.520 critic of them.
00:40:03.720 I guess they're,
00:40:05.060 and what they did
00:40:05.840 is they somehow got
00:40:06.660 a hold of hacked
00:40:07.600 information from the
00:40:09.780 Gab social media
00:40:11.940 network that they
00:40:13.540 claim has lots of
00:40:14.440 extremists on it,
00:40:15.760 and they're going
00:40:17.620 to search through
00:40:18.780 this personal data
00:40:20.180 from the Gab
00:40:21.500 hack to do the
00:40:23.520 FBI's work, as
00:40:24.480 Glenn Greenwald
00:40:25.100 says, to find the
00:40:26.360 extremists.
00:40:27.740 And I'm thinking
00:40:28.500 to myself, how is
00:40:31.800 this okay?
00:40:33.780 How is this okay?
00:40:36.040 Because let's say
00:40:37.960 there are some
00:40:38.940 extremists that they
00:40:40.160 find, and these
00:40:40.940 extremists, let's
00:40:42.180 say hypothetically,
00:40:43.340 they're really bad
00:40:44.360 people.
00:40:45.480 Are they as bad as
00:40:46.760 the people at the
00:40:47.400 Intercept?
00:40:48.860 I mean, really?
00:40:50.280 If you were going
00:40:50.980 to rank people on
00:40:52.880 how much they suck,
00:40:55.020 let's say you really
00:40:55.820 hated the extremists
00:40:57.040 of whatever, and
00:40:58.760 you say, ah, they're
00:40:59.980 a 10 out of 10 of
00:41:01.040 suckiness.
00:41:01.960 I hate those
00:41:02.780 extremists.
00:41:04.380 Well, where the
00:41:05.220 hell are the
00:41:05.740 Intercept people who
00:41:06.780 are taking private
00:41:07.680 information from
00:41:09.080 hackers and pouring
00:41:11.920 through it to ruin
00:41:13.340 the lives of their
00:41:14.420 extremists?
00:41:16.000 That's sort of a
00:41:16.900 10, right?
00:41:19.260 I mean, these are
00:41:20.180 both despicable,
00:41:21.840 potentially.
00:41:23.460 We don't know about
00:41:24.180 the gab people, but
00:41:25.540 that's the
00:41:25.960 allegation.
00:41:28.460 I don't know that
00:41:29.380 they're going to find
00:41:30.000 worse people than
00:41:30.880 they are.
00:41:32.000 These are pretty bad
00:41:33.080 people at the
00:41:33.660 Intercept.
00:41:34.880 Bad, bad people.
00:41:36.180 All right, this is
00:41:40.000 coming to the
00:41:41.420 conclusion of my
00:41:42.520 amazing, amazing
00:41:44.200 live stream.
00:41:46.220 And since I wasn't
00:41:47.320 watching the comments
00:41:48.100 as closely as I
00:41:49.900 sometimes do, as I
00:41:51.800 was looking at my
00:41:52.440 whiteboard, I want to
00:41:54.300 see where you came
00:41:55.180 out on this one,
00:41:56.800 because it's a little
00:41:57.460 weirder than most.
00:41:58.500 What happened at the
00:42:02.480 end yesterday?
00:42:03.960 Oh, so a lot of
00:42:04.920 people are saying that
00:42:05.700 my live stream got
00:42:06.620 cut off yesterday, but
00:42:08.420 I'm not aware of it.
00:42:10.120 So on my end, I only
00:42:12.960 saw your comments
00:42:13.920 saying it was cut
00:42:14.980 off, but it was
00:42:15.880 never cut off to me.
00:42:17.280 So I just completed
00:42:18.620 it as normal, and
00:42:19.840 then afterwards I
00:42:20.800 heard people say it
00:42:21.480 was cut off.
00:42:22.280 So I don't know
00:42:22.780 anything about it.
00:42:23.420 It's possible that
00:42:29.300 it was some kind
00:42:30.240 of decision at
00:42:32.580 YouTube, maybe some
00:42:34.300 censor yanked it for
00:42:35.360 some reason.
00:42:36.820 I don't know.
00:42:38.180 Somebody's asking
00:42:38.920 if I write down my
00:42:39.900 affirmations.
00:42:40.820 If there's the one
00:42:41.880 rule of affirmations,
00:42:43.960 and this is the one
00:42:45.160 rule that you can
00:42:46.180 never violate, don't
00:42:48.060 ask me the details of
00:42:49.200 affirmations, because
00:42:50.740 if you ask me the
00:42:51.400 details, it means you
00:42:52.140 didn't understand it.
00:42:53.420 It's about focus.
00:42:55.300 If you can focus by
00:42:57.000 peeing in the snow
00:43:00.080 bank, or writing it
00:43:02.600 down, or chanting, or
00:43:03.800 just thinking about it
00:43:04.800 every day, or
00:43:05.440 meditating, telling your
00:43:07.800 friends about it,
00:43:08.540 whatever, it doesn't
00:43:09.480 matter.
00:43:10.440 I don't think it's
00:43:11.300 sensitive to technique.
00:43:12.580 I think it's all about
00:43:13.260 focus.
00:43:14.480 And your focus might
00:43:15.480 be different.
00:43:20.060 Have I locked myself
00:43:21.500 down again?
00:43:22.240 I don't know what you
00:43:22.880 mean.
00:43:23.060 Because I got the
00:43:23.900 vaccination?
00:43:24.980 I mean, I've been
00:43:25.540 socially distancing
00:43:26.520 pretty aggressively.
00:43:30.640 Trump on Candace
00:43:31.740 Owens' show?
00:43:32.340 I did not see it, but
00:43:33.580 that sounds fun.
00:43:35.580 So it's good to know
00:43:36.800 that's there.
00:43:38.720 You can't focus your
00:43:40.040 way out of cancer.
00:43:41.680 Well, can't you?
00:43:43.520 It depends.
00:43:44.400 If reality is just the
00:43:47.240 way it looks, well,
00:43:48.620 then no.
00:43:50.040 But if reality is a
00:43:51.620 simulation, then yes.
00:43:54.840 You just have to, there
00:43:56.240 just has to be no
00:43:57.060 conflicting information
00:43:58.140 that you do have
00:43:58.900 cancer, or that it will
00:44:00.380 kill you.
00:44:01.440 Now, I'm not saying
00:44:02.620 don't go to the doctor
00:44:03.560 because you could use
00:44:04.440 affirmations.
00:44:05.080 That would be dumb.
00:44:05.840 Do you prefer staying at
00:44:11.760 home?
00:44:12.520 Well, that's an
00:44:15.260 embarrassing question.
00:44:16.620 I do think that people
00:44:17.800 like me are going to have
00:44:19.040 some trouble adjusting
00:44:21.080 to a post-pandemic world
00:44:24.020 because I've got some
00:44:25.580 serious introvert stay-at-home
00:44:28.100 impulses, and it's not
00:44:31.260 going to be easy for me to
00:44:33.100 be in public again.
00:44:35.220 I can tell you that in
00:44:36.640 the few cases where I've
00:44:38.180 been out and about where
00:44:39.680 I just had more
00:44:40.580 stimulation, you know,
00:44:42.140 still socially distanced,
00:44:43.520 but, you know, having
00:44:44.240 more stimulation around
00:44:45.400 people, it was hard.
00:44:48.240 I had to run away and
00:44:50.940 just hide at one point
00:44:52.200 just because there were
00:44:53.420 too many people in my
00:44:54.420 day.
00:44:54.700 I had to go to a quiet
00:44:56.540 room and just be by
00:44:58.260 myself for a while.
00:44:59.720 So a lot of people who
00:45:01.740 were sort of in my
00:45:03.000 side of the equation,
00:45:05.860 you know, the people
00:45:06.360 who are, say, less
00:45:08.440 thrilled by social
00:45:10.820 interaction than some
00:45:11.920 of us, some of the
00:45:12.820 rest of you, it's going
00:45:15.420 to be tough to go back
00:45:17.180 to normal life.
00:45:20.200 All right.
00:45:23.780 Oh, good.
00:45:24.640 Somebody liked this
00:45:25.560 episode?
00:45:26.320 That's all I want to
00:45:27.160 hear.
00:45:27.840 And I will see you
00:45:29.120 tomorrow.
