Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1496 Scott Adams： More Lies in the Headlines That Go Well With Coffee

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:06.500 What a great day.

00:00:09.420 Well, so far, I don't know what you say on September 11th.

00:00:15.840 Probably not happy September 11th.

00:00:19.000 But I'm not going to talk about that too much because there'll be plenty of that in the news

00:00:23.580 and you don't need any more of it.

00:00:26.320 And I'm sure you're not going to forget it.

00:00:28.380 But, hey, is there anybody here who'd like to take it up a notch?

00:00:34.500 Is there?

00:00:35.780 Is there anybody here who wants to have a really good time?

00:00:38.860 Well, you came to the right place.

00:00:42.220 And all you need to take it up a notch is a cup or a mug or a glass,

00:00:45.800 a tag or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask,

00:00:48.440 a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:51.480 I like coffee.

00:00:53.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the end of the day.

00:00:56.540 The thing that makes everything better.

00:00:58.380 It's called Simultaneous Sip.

00:01:01.680 It happens now.

00:01:02.400 Go.

00:01:09.040 That's some good stuff.

00:01:11.860 Now, let me find something here that I should have had ready for you

00:01:17.440 the moment I logged on.

00:01:20.360 There it is.

00:01:21.060 So I tried to live stream on the Rumble platform as well.

00:01:27.840 I was planning to do that this morning, but I couldn't make it work.

00:01:32.800 I got some kind of technical problem.

00:01:35.240 I don't know what to do about it.

00:01:36.660 I don't know how anybody signs up for Rumble.

00:01:40.280 I mean, I'm not criticizing it.

00:01:43.020 I'm just curious.

00:01:45.480 Why is it that no matter how hard I try, I can't sign on and just use it?

00:01:51.320 So, I assume it's just me because I have a lot of users.

00:01:56.300 So, but it's only the live stream portion.

00:01:58.640 And I think that might be still in beta.

00:02:00.560 I'm not sure.

00:02:02.420 But you can watch us here on YouTube and the locals platform.

00:02:07.940 Speaking of the locals platform, subscription service,

00:02:13.540 I now have 149 micro lessons up there.

00:02:18.460 So if you're a subscriber, you can see 149, roughly two minutes apiece,

00:02:25.320 video lessons.

00:02:26.620 And each one is designed to give you a skill,

00:02:31.380 an actual useful skill in two minutes.

00:02:34.460 So, if you had been a subscriber since the beginning,

00:02:38.440 you would have 149 extra skills in one year.

00:02:46.500 149 extra skills in one year.

00:02:51.840 Now, most of you would say,

00:02:53.420 oh, you know, I don't know if every one of these lessons applies to me directly,

00:02:56.560 but I think 50 to 100 of them would easily.

00:03:01.200 Imagine adding 50 skills to your skill stack here.

00:03:09.520 I think it's worth it.

00:03:11.360 Anyway, CNN fake news.

00:03:13.780 I guess Joe Rogan is thinking about suing them

00:03:15.920 because some reporter claimed that he took, quote,

00:03:19.500 horse dewormer to treat COVID.

00:03:23.360 And as Joe Rogan would like you to know,

00:03:26.840 what he took came from a doctor.

00:03:28.700 You know, people with a medical degree and all that.

00:03:32.860 He didn't take the horse version of it.

00:03:36.980 And I'm sure the CNN's viewers actually think he took, you know,

00:03:42.080 some kind of a horse-based product and chewed on it for a while.

00:03:46.720 But no, that didn't happen.

00:03:48.380 So here's the question.

00:03:49.240 Is it appropriate to sue somebody for this kind of defamation, I guess it would be?

00:03:58.200 And I'm generally anti-lawsuit for this sort of thing, so I wouldn't do it.

00:04:02.860 But it seems like it might be important.

00:04:07.780 You know, I kind of doubt Joe Rogan will do it.

00:04:11.100 He just doesn't seem like the, you know, from the outside looking in,

00:04:14.320 and he doesn't look like the kind of guy who wants to waste his time on lawsuits.

00:04:18.380 I mean, what could be a less good use of your own time?

00:04:23.200 But he does have an interesting situation in which his reputation affects his brand,

00:04:29.800 and his brand affects his income,

00:04:31.140 and it could be very expensive to have CNN telling people

00:04:35.060 that you're taking a horse dewormer.

00:04:37.140 That does not build confidence in your audience.

00:04:41.300 So I feel like he has a case.

00:04:44.740 That doesn't mean you necessarily want to pursue it,

00:04:48.000 because that's a lifestyle decision.

00:04:49.960 But it looks like he's got a case, you know,

00:04:52.400 just sort of on the conceptual level,

00:04:55.280 not necessarily on the legal level.

00:04:58.580 Here's a question.

00:04:59.480 If you were single,

00:05:03.020 would you date, during the pandemic,

00:05:06.400 somebody who was not vaccinated?

00:05:09.100 Now, here in my question,

00:05:10.840 I'm assuming that you are.

00:05:12.380 If you're, you know,

00:05:13.380 if you're not vaccinated too,

00:05:14.720 you don't care, probably.

00:05:17.140 But if you're vaccinated,

00:05:19.780 would you date somebody who is not vaccinated?

00:05:24.500 I'm seeing mostly yeses.

00:05:26.060 I see one no.

00:05:29.600 Almost all yeses.

00:05:31.140 Interesting.

00:05:33.060 I think you're wrong.

00:05:34.340 You're all wrong.

00:05:36.400 I know you think it's your opinion.

00:05:38.760 You can't be wrong about your own opinion, can you?

00:05:41.780 Oh, yeah, you can.

00:05:43.480 Here's the correct answer.

00:05:45.640 It depends how hot the person is.

00:05:47.520 If you're dating somebody who's super hot,

00:05:55.340 maybe you don't care if they're vaccinated.

00:05:57.740 You'll take your chances.

00:06:02.060 But let's say it's somebody who's just,

00:06:05.100 they're about as good as you are, right?

00:06:07.780 They're not better than you.

00:06:09.200 They're about the same quality of date as you are.

00:06:13.300 Well, in those cases,

00:06:15.440 it might not take as much to knock me off the path.

00:06:21.020 So the correct answer is always.

00:06:24.420 Depends how hot that person is. 1.00

00:06:26.900 It reminds me of one of my favorite stories

00:06:28.800 from my corporate days.

00:06:30.160 I used to work in a big company,

00:06:32.680 and I worked in the technical laboratory.

00:06:36.120 And a big discussion in the laboratory one day

00:06:39.240 was about the use of one of the drawers

00:06:41.940 because it was a shared space.

00:06:43.900 So you had to kind of decide, you know,

00:06:45.960 what was in each drawer so everybody was happy.

00:06:48.180 And one of the drawers,

00:06:50.360 we were trying to decide

00:06:51.380 if it should be the snack drawer,

00:06:53.920 where you keep all our snacks,

00:06:55.800 or should it be the extra screwdriver drawer

00:06:58.920 because you always needed screwdrivers

00:07:01.160 for, you know, playing with your technology.

00:07:04.400 And so I said to my boss at the time,

00:07:07.600 I said, what do you think?

00:07:08.840 Do you think we should put the food in there

00:07:10.660 or the screwdrivers?

00:07:11.660 And my boss looked at me,

00:07:15.080 and in a mannerism that could only be compared to Buddha,

00:07:20.680 possibly Gandhi,

00:07:22.520 he answered the question of,

00:07:24.380 should there be screwdrivers or food in the drawer this way?

00:07:28.800 He said,

00:07:31.740 well, actually, the way I asked the question,

00:07:34.100 it was the setup.

00:07:35.580 So I went to my boss and said,

00:07:37.500 should we have screwdrivers or food?

00:07:41.660 You know, in other words,

00:07:42.700 should we be screwing or eating

00:07:44.840 is the way I asked the question.

00:07:47.640 Hey, Mike,

00:07:48.280 do you think we should be screwing or eating?

00:07:51.120 And Mike looked at me,

00:07:52.200 and he said,

00:07:52.700 without missing a beat,

00:07:54.180 depends how hungry you are.

00:07:58.380 I'm just going to let that sit there.

00:08:02.100 My old boss,

00:08:03.420 who, by the way, named Dilber,

00:08:05.040 he came up with a name

00:08:06.060 when I was just thinking about it as a comic.

00:08:09.300 Everything you need to know

00:08:10.740 about human beings

00:08:13.380 in one statement,

00:08:15.600 I said,

00:08:16.160 would you rather screw or eat?

00:08:18.600 And he said,

00:08:19.600 depends how hungry I am.

00:08:22.900 That's the whole thing.

00:08:24.700 That's everything.

00:08:26.620 That's everything you need to know about people.

00:08:29.620 It's done.

00:08:30.800 You could just take that formula

00:08:32.320 and apply it to everything,

00:08:34.460 and it would explain everything.

00:08:36.460 All right.

00:08:41.000 Apparently,

00:08:41.800 in San Francisco,

00:08:43.080 the school kids

00:08:44.080 are 90% vaccinated,

00:08:47.480 and what do you get

00:08:48.380 when you have 90%

00:08:49.840 vaccinated school kids?

00:08:53.600 Listen to this.

00:08:54.960 90% of them are vaccinated,

00:08:57.040 and what do they get for that?

00:09:00.660 Zero infections.

00:09:01.740 90% are vaccinated.

00:09:07.180 Zero infections.

00:09:09.600 Zero.

00:09:11.920 Do vaccinations work?

00:09:14.760 I don't know.

00:09:15.380 I mean,

00:09:15.680 I don't know how many of them

00:09:17.060 they would have had otherwise,

00:09:18.860 but I think some.

00:09:20.920 Right?

00:09:21.420 Feels like there would have been some.

00:09:22.660 So I just put that out there.

00:09:28.300 I'm hearing a lot of people

00:09:29.400 making the analogy

00:09:30.400 that the vaccination decision

00:09:32.640 and the abortion decision

00:09:33.740 are kind of similar,

00:09:35.540 meaning that

00:09:36.220 who has control over your body?

00:09:39.880 Do you have control over your body?

00:09:41.880 Well,

00:09:42.180 the pro-abortion people would say,

00:09:43.780 yes,

00:09:44.280 yes.

00:09:45.260 It's your body,

00:09:46.060 and it's your choice,

00:09:47.720 they would say.

00:09:48.880 But why don't they say the same

00:09:50.460 for vaccinations?

00:09:51.220 That's the point

00:09:52.240 that I'm seeing on social media.

00:09:54.420 Why isn't it the same?

00:09:56.120 My body,

00:09:57.040 my choice,

00:09:57.840 right?

00:09:59.080 Well,

00:09:59.620 here's my take on that argument.

00:10:01.360 It's ridiculous.

00:10:03.060 They're just different situations.

00:10:04.900 Every situation

00:10:05.600 you should look at uniquely

00:10:07.740 and make a decision uniquely.

00:10:11.660 Do we ever tell people

00:10:13.400 what to do with their bodies?

00:10:16.940 All the time.

00:10:18.340 Do you know

00:10:21.020 what civilization is?

00:10:23.760 It's the government

00:10:24.640 telling you

00:10:25.120 what to do with your body.

00:10:27.340 That's what civilization is.

00:10:29.540 It's the government

00:10:30.360 telling you

00:10:31.640 what you can

00:10:32.300 and cannot do

00:10:32.960 with your body.

00:10:34.600 You don't believe me?

00:10:36.320 Try walking down

00:10:37.480 the middle of a freeway

00:10:38.760 during rush hour.

00:10:41.360 Just stand in the middle

00:10:42.740 of the lane

00:10:43.280 and just take a walk

00:10:44.620 during rush hour.

00:10:46.380 See how it turns out.

00:10:48.360 Your body

00:10:48.960 isn't allowed there.

00:10:51.660 It's your body.

00:10:52.800 Why can't you

00:10:53.240 make your own decisions

00:10:54.060 about what your body does?

00:10:55.940 Nope.

00:10:57.200 Civilization

00:10:57.640 doesn't work that way.

00:11:00.380 How about

00:11:01.160 if you want to

00:11:02.040 drive your car

00:11:02.800 without your seatbelt?

00:11:05.080 Hey,

00:11:05.700 it's your life.

00:11:07.500 Nope.

00:11:08.340 Can't drive your car

00:11:09.240 without your seatbelt.

00:11:11.660 How about,

00:11:12.480 let's see,

00:11:13.060 what else?

00:11:13.800 How about

00:11:14.120 a polio vaccination?

00:11:15.980 Let's say

00:11:16.340 you don't want one.

00:11:17.800 Can you just say,

00:11:18.480 I don't want

00:11:19.040 my polio vaccination?

00:11:20.540 Does that work out

00:11:21.140 for you?

00:11:22.020 Nope.

00:11:22.960 Nope.

00:11:23.360 You're going to

00:11:23.680 have to get one.

00:11:24.820 How about

00:11:25.420 drinking and driving?

00:11:27.660 Hey,

00:11:28.020 it's your body.

00:11:29.360 Right?

00:11:29.960 If you want to

00:11:30.680 put alcohol

00:11:31.200 in your body

00:11:32.060 and then put

00:11:33.860 your body

00:11:34.780 in a car

00:11:35.300 and drive

00:11:36.620 your body

00:11:37.160 around in your car,

00:11:38.040 that should be

00:11:40.140 legal, right?

00:11:41.320 Well,

00:11:41.560 it's not.

00:11:42.360 It's not legal.

00:11:43.080 How about

00:11:45.460 doing drugs

00:11:46.600 before going to work?

00:11:48.540 Can you do

00:11:49.140 a bunch of cocaine

00:11:50.280 and, you know,

00:11:51.860 shoot up a bunch

00:11:52.700 of stuff

00:11:53.080 and then go to work?

00:11:53.960 Well,

00:11:54.180 people do.

00:11:55.280 But if they get caught,

00:11:57.020 probably get fired.

00:11:58.660 Probably get fired.

00:11:59.760 But why can't you

00:12:00.640 do a bunch of drugs

00:12:01.480 and go to work?

00:12:02.060 It's your body.

00:12:03.440 It's your body.

00:12:04.160 Who tells you

00:12:04.600 what you can do

00:12:05.120 with your body?

00:12:07.120 Civilization.

00:12:07.520 Civilization.

00:12:09.500 Civilization

00:12:09.900 tells you

00:12:11.120 where your damn

00:12:11.860 body can be

00:12:12.700 and what your damn 0.92

00:12:14.080 body can do.

00:12:15.320 Period.

00:12:16.420 If you want to do

00:12:17.500 anything you want

00:12:18.260 with your body,

00:12:18.900 you can.

00:12:19.980 But you have to

00:12:20.580 leave civilization.

00:12:23.300 Right?

00:12:23.660 Now,

00:12:24.060 having said that,

00:12:25.760 does it make sense

00:12:26.980 that you say,

00:12:27.720 well,

00:12:28.240 if this is how

00:12:29.160 we treat seatbelts,

00:12:30.560 this is how we should

00:12:31.780 treat a COVID

00:12:32.700 vaccination?

00:12:33.560 No.

00:12:34.320 No.

00:12:35.120 Just look at them

00:12:35.760 all individually.

00:12:36.480 Everything is going

00:12:38.060 to be its own

00:12:38.500 decision.

00:12:39.780 But decisions

00:12:40.860 by analogy

00:12:41.560 is just crazy.

00:12:44.640 Apparently,

00:12:45.360 the botched

00:12:46.060 Afghanistan withdrawal

00:12:47.880 was even more

00:12:49.240 botched than we

00:12:50.380 imagined.

00:12:51.400 Do you remember

00:12:51.860 that Biden

00:12:52.820 drone attack

00:12:53.720 on what we

00:12:55.700 thought was

00:12:56.180 some ISIS

00:12:56.760 bad people?

00:12:57.940 A planner,

00:12:58.800 they said.

00:12:59.640 An ISIS planner. 0.80

00:13:02.220 Well,

00:13:02.820 it wasn't maybe

00:13:03.500 an ISIS planner.

00:13:04.480 I think the New 0.60

00:13:04.920 York Times did

00:13:05.580 an investigation

00:13:06.280 and found out

00:13:07.760 it was less

00:13:08.440 an ISIS planner

00:13:09.420 than it was

00:13:10.340 a citizen

00:13:12.440 who works

00:13:13.160 for some

00:13:14.320 American entity.

00:13:16.060 Basically,

00:13:16.780 somebody on our

00:13:17.540 side.

00:13:19.480 And there

00:13:20.560 might not have

00:13:21.160 been any

00:13:21.780 secondary

00:13:22.380 explosions,

00:13:24.140 or it's not

00:13:25.260 clear that we

00:13:25.920 could determine

00:13:26.860 it.

00:13:27.740 So it looks

00:13:28.860 like what we

00:13:29.440 did was drop

00:13:30.720 bombs on

00:13:31.560 innocent people

00:13:32.500 and claimed

00:13:34.980 victory

00:13:35.540 and tried

00:13:37.560 to get

00:13:37.900 away with

00:13:38.280 it.

00:13:40.580 Ouch.

00:13:42.840 I don't

00:13:43.580 know that

00:13:44.120 you could

00:13:44.540 fail harder

00:13:45.460 than the

00:13:45.880 United States

00:13:46.560 failed in

00:13:47.240 Afghanistan.

00:13:47.820 I mean,

00:13:48.800 just,

00:13:49.420 and, you

00:13:50.520 know,

00:13:50.900 adding tragedy

00:13:51.780 to tragedy,

00:13:52.980 killing

00:13:53.260 innocents,

00:13:54.200 worst possible

00:13:55.160 thing.

00:13:57.600 But, wow.

00:13:59.720 And as

00:14:00.840 Glenn Greenwald

00:14:01.980 and others

00:14:02.980 have pointed

00:14:03.900 out,

00:14:04.980 why is

00:14:07.280 General Milley

00:14:08.040 still employed?

00:14:10.580 Seriously?

00:14:12.180 Nobody got

00:14:12.880 fired for

00:14:13.540 Afghanistan?

00:14:15.320 Nobody.

00:14:16.580 Nobody got

00:14:17.240 fired for

00:14:17.800 that.

00:14:18.940 Well,

00:14:19.760 that's fine

00:14:20.800 if you don't

00:14:21.400 want to win

00:14:21.820 in 2020,

00:14:22.700 Democrats,

00:14:23.520 and you want

00:14:24.200 a Republican

00:14:24.740 president next

00:14:25.560 time.

00:14:27.120 Because this,

00:14:27.960 to me,

00:14:28.240 seems like a

00:14:28.820 big deal.

00:14:30.080 It would be

00:14:30.560 one thing to

00:14:31.140 make a mistake.

00:14:33.160 And you've

00:14:33.880 heard me say

00:14:34.360 a million times

00:14:35.160 that, you

00:14:35.820 know,

00:14:35.940 let's be at

00:14:37.380 least a little

00:14:37.820 realistic about

00:14:38.800 the fact that

00:14:39.380 even our

00:14:39.880 leaders are

00:14:40.400 going to

00:14:40.560 make a

00:14:40.940 mistakes.

00:14:42.000 Because they

00:14:42.480 don't have

00:14:42.780 perfect

00:14:43.160 information.

00:14:44.460 They've got

00:14:44.680 to guess.

00:14:46.180 Unfortunately,

00:14:46.820 leaders have

00:14:47.240 to guess

00:14:47.560 sometimes.

00:14:48.540 So they've

00:14:48.840 got to

00:14:48.980 make some

00:14:49.400 mistakes.

00:14:50.980 But the

00:14:52.160 Afghanistan

00:14:52.580 mistakes, you

00:14:53.460 have to fire

00:14:54.180 somebody for

00:14:54.820 that.

00:14:55.100 There has

00:14:55.360 to be

00:14:55.580 accountability.

00:14:56.940 And I

00:14:57.160 just don't

00:14:57.520 know why

00:14:57.900 Milley is

00:14:58.720 still in

00:14:59.300 his job.

00:15:01.620 Bill Maher

00:15:02.360 continues to

00:15:03.160 go after

00:15:03.600 the left

00:15:04.780 for their

00:15:05.340 silliness.

00:15:06.160 He goes

00:15:06.420 after the

00:15:06.780 right, of

00:15:07.240 course.

00:15:07.860 But the

00:15:08.880 left, as he

00:15:09.460 pointed out,

00:15:10.000 is just getting

00:15:10.500 more ridiculous.

00:15:11.800 And it

00:15:12.240 is literally

00:15:13.260 embarrassing him.

00:15:15.480 So Bill Maher

00:15:16.120 says he's just

00:15:16.720 literally embarrassed

00:15:17.720 by the people

00:15:18.320 on his own

00:15:18.880 side, I

00:15:19.660 guess.

00:15:20.880 But the

00:15:21.680 latest

00:15:21.960 weirdness is

00:15:22.680 that there's,

00:15:23.480 did you know

00:15:23.940 there's something

00:15:24.380 called the

00:15:24.800 Black National 0.85

00:15:25.540 Anthem?

00:15:25.960 And apparently

00:15:27.580 at last

00:15:28.080 night's football

00:15:28.720 game, I

00:15:29.200 don't know

00:15:29.400 which one

00:15:29.720 it was,

00:15:30.680 but Alicia

00:15:31.180 Keys sang

00:15:32.360 Lift Every

00:15:32.820 Voice and

00:15:33.280 Sing, and

00:15:34.860 there was

00:15:35.260 also the

00:15:35.900 regular

00:15:36.360 National

00:15:37.420 Anthem.

00:15:38.380 So now we

00:15:38.880 have the

00:15:39.240 regular

00:15:39.600 National

00:15:40.080 Anthem and

00:15:40.620 then the

00:15:40.960 special

00:15:41.280 Black 0.64

00:15:41.660 National

00:15:42.120 Anthem.

00:15:42.480 Can you

00:15:43.940 think of

00:15:44.260 anything that

00:15:44.680 would be

00:15:44.960 dumber

00:15:45.260 than that?

00:15:47.520 What would

00:15:47.940 be dumber

00:15:48.340 than that?

00:15:48.900 persuasion

00:15:53.880 wise, you're

00:15:55.420 persuading the

00:15:56.220 country to

00:15:56.700 be more

00:15:57.080 divided.

00:15:57.760 That's the

00:15:58.120 opposite of

00:15:59.200 the reason

00:15:59.580 for a

00:15:59.940 National

00:16:00.220 Anthem.

00:16:00.560 The whole

00:16:01.500 National

00:16:01.880 Anthem idea

00:16:02.700 is to get

00:16:03.900 everybody on

00:16:04.400 the same

00:16:04.740 side.

00:16:05.700 As soon as

00:16:06.420 you throw

00:16:06.760 in that

00:16:07.080 other

00:16:07.400 National

00:16:07.860 Anthem,

00:16:08.360 you've

00:16:08.520 reduced any

00:16:10.940 need for

00:16:11.360 it.

00:16:12.020 So let

00:16:12.360 me say

00:16:12.640 this.

00:16:15.180 Either do

00:16:16.260 one National

00:16:17.000 Anthem, I

00:16:17.600 don't care

00:16:17.900 what it

00:16:18.280 is,

00:16:18.900 or get

00:16:20.000 rid of

00:16:20.340 it.

00:16:21.400 But don't

00:16:21.820 do two.

00:16:23.460 Two is the

00:16:24.260 dumbest

00:16:24.720 solution.

00:16:26.060 One, pretty

00:16:27.120 good.

00:16:27.860 I like that.

00:16:29.340 None,

00:16:30.500 acceptable.

00:16:32.100 So one or

00:16:33.020 none,

00:16:34.160 National

00:16:34.540 Anthem,

00:16:35.040 completely

00:16:35.460 acceptable.

00:16:36.580 More than

00:16:37.100 one?

00:16:38.200 More than

00:16:38.740 one.

00:16:40.060 No.

00:16:40.920 That's the

00:16:41.360 opposite of a

00:16:42.220 National

00:16:42.560 Anthem.

00:16:43.780 That's a

00:16:44.300 divisive

00:16:45.600 anthem or

00:16:47.040 something.

00:16:47.380 You know,

00:16:48.880 if you're

00:16:49.820 going to

00:16:50.200 aggressively

00:16:50.860 try to

00:16:51.440 do the

00:16:51.760 opposite of

00:16:52.360 what you

00:16:52.660 want to

00:16:53.060 happen,

00:16:54.420 don't expect

00:16:55.180 people not

00:16:55.700 to notice.

00:17:01.220 New

00:17:01.800 information says

00:17:02.680 that people

00:17:03.300 who were not

00:17:04.420 fully vaccinated,

00:17:05.540 in the spring

00:17:06.100 anyway,

00:17:07.080 in the summer

00:17:07.620 were more than

00:17:08.380 ten times more

00:17:09.260 likely to be

00:17:09.900 hospitalized and

00:17:11.860 die.

00:17:12.220 ten times.

00:17:15.500 Ten times more

00:17:16.620 likely to be

00:17:17.440 hospitalized and

00:17:18.440 died.

00:17:20.920 Did you know

00:17:21.780 that?

00:17:22.940 Does that

00:17:23.440 fit with what

00:17:25.780 you kind of

00:17:26.540 think it is?

00:17:28.400 You know,

00:17:28.700 whatever it is

00:17:29.340 that you think

00:17:29.880 is the

00:17:30.640 effectiveness of

00:17:32.540 the vaccines,

00:17:33.920 when you hear

00:17:34.560 that,

00:17:35.040 does it track

00:17:36.140 with what you

00:17:37.220 generally thought

00:17:37.900 it would be?

00:17:38.280 No,

00:17:42.160 I think,

00:17:43.560 in this case,

00:17:44.660 I think you

00:17:45.220 would look at

00:17:45.900 the obese

00:17:46.660 compared to

00:17:47.240 the obese

00:17:47.760 and the

00:17:48.140 non-obese

00:17:48.680 compared to

00:17:49.160 the non-obese.

00:17:50.120 It would still

00:17:50.660 be ten times,

00:17:52.060 I think,

00:17:53.820 unless,

00:17:54.520 I don't know.

00:17:56.020 No,

00:17:56.580 I'll take that

00:17:57.260 back.

00:17:57.600 I don't think

00:17:57.980 you would

00:17:58.260 necessarily find

00:17:58.920 that to be

00:18:00.380 smoothly

00:18:01.140 distributed.

00:18:06.640 You said

00:18:07.380 persuading us

00:18:08.140 to get the

00:18:08.520 vaccine was

00:18:09.180 unethical,

00:18:10.500 please stop.

00:18:13.060 Can you

00:18:13.600 not handle

00:18:14.140 facts?

00:18:17.340 Because

00:18:17.780 it's just

00:18:19.540 a reporting

00:18:21.040 that,

00:18:21.620 well,

00:18:21.840 I don't know

00:18:22.140 if it's a

00:18:22.560 fact,

00:18:23.900 I don't know

00:18:24.460 if the base

00:18:24.980 is a fact,

00:18:26.140 but it's a

00:18:26.700 fact that it's

00:18:27.240 reported in

00:18:27.880 the news.

00:18:28.840 That's a

00:18:29.180 fact.

00:18:30.140 If you

00:18:31.000 can't handle

00:18:31.480 facts,

00:18:32.820 how do you

00:18:34.700 operate?

00:18:36.920 If

00:18:37.180 you're

00:18:38.640 accidentally

00:18:39.120 getting

00:18:39.560 persuaded

00:18:40.800 by

00:18:41.260 facts,

00:18:43.180 don't you

00:18:43.820 think you

00:18:44.180 should be

00:18:44.800 persuaded?

00:18:46.340 Really?

00:18:47.860 I mean,

00:18:48.220 if you're

00:18:48.780 persuaded by

00:18:49.380 a fact,

00:18:50.020 that's good,

00:18:50.840 right?

00:18:51.600 How is that

00:18:52.100 bad?

00:18:53.540 Let's say I

00:18:54.300 told you a

00:18:54.780 fact that you

00:18:55.560 checked out

00:18:56.380 and it was

00:18:56.820 actually a

00:18:57.300 fact,

00:18:58.140 and it had

00:18:58.740 the impact

00:18:59.500 of changing

00:19:00.060 your mind.

00:19:00.660 did I

00:19:01.960 persuade you?

00:19:04.080 Facts are

00:19:04.680 not

00:19:04.880 persuasion

00:19:05.400 in the

00:19:06.340 way that

00:19:06.680 I view

00:19:07.000 the world.

00:19:07.940 A fact

00:19:08.380 is just

00:19:08.740 a fact,

00:19:10.060 and if I

00:19:10.960 report them

00:19:11.540 in the

00:19:11.800 order that

00:19:12.400 they arrive,

00:19:13.820 that's not

00:19:14.680 persuasion.

00:19:15.740 Could it

00:19:16.100 persuade you?

00:19:16.720 Yes.

00:19:17.400 Yes.

00:19:17.900 Because anything

00:19:18.680 that comes

00:19:19.180 across your

00:19:19.620 head could

00:19:20.020 persuade you,

00:19:21.180 but there's

00:19:22.020 no intention

00:19:22.640 if you're

00:19:23.600 just talking

00:19:24.000 about facts.

00:19:25.040 There's no

00:19:25.640 intention there.

00:19:26.860 If I

00:19:27.400 wanted to

00:19:27.700 persuade you,

00:19:28.180 I wouldn't

00:19:28.440 use facts.

00:19:29.220 Do you

00:19:30.740 get that?

00:19:31.840 If I

00:19:32.480 wanted to

00:19:33.020 persuade you,

00:19:33.960 I probably

00:19:34.380 wouldn't use

00:19:34.980 facts.

00:19:37.320 Somebody says

00:19:38.100 you failed

00:19:38.560 yesterday.

00:19:39.320 Well,

00:19:39.600 that's

00:19:39.860 untrue.

00:19:41.700 That's

00:19:42.180 untrue.

00:19:42.600 Yesterday when

00:19:43.340 I told you

00:19:44.000 that it

00:19:44.380 would persuade

00:19:45.120 some people,

00:19:46.320 I did hear

00:19:47.020 from people

00:19:47.520 who were

00:19:47.860 persuaded.

00:19:49.100 So when

00:19:49.440 you say

00:19:49.700 it didn't

00:19:50.000 work,

00:19:51.440 talk to

00:19:51.880 the people

00:19:52.200 who said

00:19:52.560 they changed

00:19:53.000 their minds

00:19:53.400 because of it.

00:19:54.640 Now remember,

00:19:55.200 persuasion

00:19:55.600 doesn't get

00:19:56.100 everybody.

00:19:56.780 It's not

00:19:57.080 supposed to.

00:19:58.180 I mean,

00:19:58.420 it's not

00:19:58.660 really

00:19:58.920 designed to

00:19:59.740 do that.

00:20:00.700 But persuasion

00:20:01.300 can get

00:20:01.720 5% on

00:20:02.860 a good

00:20:03.080 day.

00:20:04.260 That's a

00:20:04.620 lot.

00:20:05.600 If you

00:20:05.960 could move

00:20:06.380 5% of

00:20:07.180 a crowd

00:20:07.660 in one

00:20:08.100 day,

00:20:09.500 wow,

00:20:10.260 that would

00:20:10.660 be like a 0.54

00:20:11.060 superpower.

00:20:12.200 And I

00:20:12.500 think I

00:20:12.820 might have.

00:20:13.200 I think I

00:20:13.600 might have

00:20:13.840 moved 2%

00:20:14.740 to 5%.

00:20:15.900 The other

00:20:20.000 information we

00:20:20.680 have is,

00:20:21.700 this is kind

00:20:22.440 of good news

00:20:22.940 for me,

00:20:24.380 is that the

00:20:25.420 Moderna

00:20:25.860 vaccination seems

00:20:26.940 to be the

00:20:27.360 good one.

00:20:27.780 By quite a

00:20:29.560 bit,

00:20:30.020 actually.

00:20:30.520 Now they

00:20:30.780 all seem

00:20:31.140 to be

00:20:31.580 protective,

00:20:33.160 but apparently

00:20:33.740 the Moderna

00:20:34.400 one just

00:20:34.940 totally kicks

00:20:36.320 ass on the

00:20:36.940 other ones.

00:20:37.980 Now it's

00:20:38.740 good we

00:20:39.120 didn't know

00:20:39.560 that.

00:20:40.600 Well,

00:20:41.460 let me ask

00:20:42.680 this question.

00:20:44.000 Do you

00:20:44.280 think we

00:20:44.620 didn't know

00:20:45.020 that earlier?

00:20:47.160 Do you

00:20:47.500 think that

00:20:48.540 somebody,

00:20:51.240 official,

00:20:52.340 do you think

00:20:52.660 that somebody

00:20:53.060 wasn't aware

00:20:54.020 aware that

00:20:54.920 the Moderna

00:20:55.440 would outperform

00:20:56.520 the other

00:20:56.860 ones?

00:20:57.760 I think this

00:20:58.660 is like the

00:20:59.200 mask situation

00:21:00.320 in the early

00:21:00.900 days.

00:21:01.880 I feel as if

00:21:02.940 we knew this

00:21:03.560 but didn't

00:21:04.000 want to tell

00:21:04.460 the public.

00:21:05.920 Because if you

00:21:06.620 told the public,

00:21:07.440 then they would

00:21:07.980 wait for the

00:21:08.560 good one,

00:21:09.280 and there

00:21:09.560 wouldn't be

00:21:09.840 enough of it.

00:21:10.480 So I

00:21:11.880 think that

00:21:12.440 the government

00:21:13.900 may have

00:21:15.300 lied to you.

00:21:17.580 I don't

00:21:18.180 know that,

00:21:18.980 so this is

00:21:19.500 not based on

00:21:20.120 facts.

00:21:21.280 But it

00:21:22.400 feels to me

00:21:23.140 that if the

00:21:23.920 government,

00:21:24.320 let's put an

00:21:25.060 if on this,

00:21:25.860 if the

00:21:26.320 government knew

00:21:26.920 that Moderna

00:21:27.540 was the

00:21:28.540 best performer,

00:21:30.440 and they

00:21:31.400 had to,

00:21:32.080 right?

00:21:33.340 Don't you

00:21:33.960 think they've

00:21:34.400 known this

00:21:34.820 for a while?

00:21:36.080 Because all

00:21:36.600 you have to

00:21:36.900 do is study,

00:21:37.700 just look at

00:21:38.740 the antibodies,

00:21:39.500 right?

00:21:40.480 Whoever has

00:21:40.940 the most

00:21:41.240 antibodies,

00:21:41.980 well, that

00:21:42.220 was the

00:21:42.520 best vaccination.

00:21:44.320 And they

00:21:45.540 didn't just

00:21:45.940 start looking

00:21:46.440 at the

00:21:46.700 antibodies

00:21:47.160 yesterday,

00:21:48.320 right?

00:21:49.420 Of course

00:21:50.180 they've known

00:21:50.640 this.

00:21:51.720 Isn't this

00:21:52.200 another example

00:21:52.920 where the

00:21:53.440 government

00:21:53.800 almost certainly

00:21:55.120 lied to you?

00:21:56.840 Now, I think

00:21:57.500 they lied to

00:21:58.020 you for your

00:21:58.420 own benefit,

00:21:59.860 and that

00:22:00.660 might even

00:22:01.240 be true.

00:22:02.420 Well, no,

00:22:03.020 I take that

00:22:03.500 back.

00:22:04.520 They didn't

00:22:05.080 lie to you

00:22:05.600 for your

00:22:05.960 own benefit.

00:22:07.920 They lied

00:22:08.420 to you for

00:22:08.960 the country's

00:22:10.160 benefit, which

00:22:10.920 might have

00:22:11.220 been bad

00:22:11.600 for you.

00:22:12.900 Because suppose

00:22:13.700 you could

00:22:14.140 have pivoted

00:22:15.180 and gotten

00:22:15.580 the Moderna

00:22:16.140 instead of

00:22:17.180 something else,

00:22:17.840 if you'd

00:22:18.300 known that

00:22:19.060 it was worth

00:22:19.500 doing.

00:22:20.160 Well, that

00:22:20.540 might have

00:22:20.780 been good

00:22:21.060 for you,

00:22:21.600 because you

00:22:21.820 got better

00:22:22.220 information,

00:22:22.800 you got a

00:22:23.220 more powerful

00:22:24.280 shot.

00:22:25.380 But then there

00:22:25.900 wouldn't be

00:22:26.200 enough.

00:22:27.400 If everybody

00:22:28.160 went out and

00:22:28.600 tried to get

00:22:29.000 the same one,

00:22:29.580 there wouldn't

00:22:29.780 be enough.

00:22:31.300 And then

00:22:31.780 that's bad

00:22:32.380 for the

00:22:33.080 country.

00:22:33.340 So, does

00:22:36.940 your government

00:22:37.580 get a pass

00:22:38.380 if they

00:22:38.840 lied to

00:22:39.220 you about

00:22:39.500 this?

00:22:40.420 In the

00:22:40.940 comments,

00:22:42.320 in the

00:22:42.720 comments,

00:22:43.900 if you

00:22:44.300 buy the

00:22:44.820 notion that

00:22:45.840 the government

00:22:47.200 certainly didn't

00:22:48.080 want us to

00:22:48.560 know one of

00:22:49.080 them was the

00:22:49.560 good one for

00:22:50.980 the benefit of

00:22:51.860 the whole,

00:22:53.880 are you okay

00:22:54.940 with the

00:22:55.260 government lying

00:22:55.920 to you if

00:22:56.720 they did it

00:22:57.320 for good

00:22:58.440 intentions?

00:22:58.940 I see one

00:23:01.320 yes, I see

00:23:02.180 a no, I

00:23:02.880 see no, no,

00:23:03.560 no, I

00:23:04.720 see mostly

00:23:05.300 no's, another

00:23:06.540 yes, now

00:23:08.420 and then, no,

00:23:09.700 no, no, no,

00:23:10.620 no, no, no.

00:23:13.760 Somebody says

00:23:14.580 that's not

00:23:15.200 what's happening,

00:23:15.940 so somebody

00:23:16.540 says I'm

00:23:16.940 characterizing it

00:23:17.680 wrong.

00:23:19.160 Never, yeah.

00:23:21.900 I don't

00:23:22.560 know, I

00:23:23.640 might disagree

00:23:24.620 with you,

00:23:26.280 because I

00:23:27.520 feel as

00:23:28.040 though,

00:23:28.940 the government

00:23:29.700 lying to

00:23:30.320 you about

00:23:30.900 the, which

00:23:31.900 vaccinations

00:23:32.620 would be more

00:23:33.640 effective, and

00:23:35.140 I think that's

00:23:35.660 what happened.

00:23:36.340 I'm going to

00:23:36.860 speculate that

00:23:37.520 that is exactly

00:23:38.240 what happened,

00:23:38.820 because I

00:23:39.060 can't imagine

00:23:39.820 they know a

00:23:40.780 long time ago.

00:23:43.280 I'm going to

00:23:44.000 say, I'm

00:23:45.000 going to

00:23:45.160 surprise you.

00:23:46.240 I'm going to

00:23:46.660 say it's

00:23:47.320 unethical,

00:23:48.640 and I

00:23:50.080 approve it.

00:23:52.220 It's

00:23:52.700 unethical,

00:23:53.820 completely,

00:23:54.860 completely

00:23:55.440 unethical,

00:23:56.780 and I

00:23:57.800 approve it.

00:23:59.940 There are

00:24:00.760 things, there

00:24:01.980 are situations

00:24:02.720 in which doing

00:24:03.700 an unethical

00:24:04.520 thing sometimes

00:24:06.560 is your best

00:24:07.200 plan, and

00:24:08.960 the situation

00:24:09.860 is this.

00:24:10.620 It would be

00:24:11.160 unethical to

00:24:12.000 individuals,

00:24:13.520 because you're

00:24:14.640 denying them

00:24:15.340 knowledge that

00:24:15.960 could maybe be

00:24:17.000 useful to them.

00:24:17.880 So very

00:24:18.520 unethical to

00:24:19.280 individuals.

00:24:21.200 But it

00:24:22.900 might be

00:24:23.400 ethical for

00:24:24.020 the nation,

00:24:24.520 if that's even

00:24:26.680 a thing, because

00:24:28.000 it could be

00:24:28.460 the thing

00:24:28.780 that's best

00:24:29.280 for the

00:24:29.640 average, while

00:24:31.480 it's terrible

00:24:32.020 for some

00:24:32.500 individuals.

00:24:36.360 Scott has

00:24:37.240 confirmation

00:24:37.680 bias about

00:24:38.700 Moderna.

00:24:39.880 No, I

00:24:40.620 read a

00:24:41.060 study that

00:24:41.740 came out

00:24:42.160 today.

00:24:44.320 If the

00:24:45.120 study doesn't

00:24:45.880 exist, then

00:24:47.760 I probably

00:24:48.180 have some

00:24:49.100 kind of

00:24:49.440 cognitive

00:24:49.900 dissonance or

00:24:50.700 confirmation

00:24:51.280 bias.

00:24:51.680 But I'm just

00:24:52.720 telling you what

00:24:53.180 the study said.

00:24:53.880 Is there

00:24:55.040 another study?

00:24:56.320 If there's

00:24:56.720 another study

00:24:57.320 that says

00:24:57.700 something else,

00:24:58.340 I'll report

00:24:58.780 that too.

00:25:00.000 Now, the

00:25:01.600 caveat on all

00:25:03.160 of this is that

00:25:03.840 studies are

00:25:04.740 often wrong.

00:25:06.200 And it

00:25:06.520 seems to me

00:25:07.140 that I saw

00:25:08.200 Ian Martises,

00:25:09.740 and by the

00:25:10.080 way, I need

00:25:10.480 a fact check

00:25:11.040 on this,

00:25:11.460 Ian.

00:25:12.320 I thought I

00:25:13.120 saw the

00:25:14.880 antibody test

00:25:16.960 that he did

00:25:17.800 suggested that

00:25:19.260 the vaccinations

00:25:20.520 were fairly

00:25:21.340 similar in

00:25:22.660 terms of

00:25:23.380 antibody

00:25:23.900 production.

00:25:25.440 So that

00:25:25.980 would be

00:25:26.260 different than

00:25:27.240 what this

00:25:27.820 new study

00:25:28.340 says.

00:25:28.940 So, do

00:25:29.900 you trust

00:25:30.260 the study?

00:25:31.700 You know,

00:25:32.140 always put a

00:25:32.640 little check

00:25:33.060 mark next

00:25:33.600 to the

00:25:34.500 skepticism

00:25:35.280 column.

00:25:36.980 Was it

00:25:37.400 double-blind?

00:25:38.120 I don't

00:25:38.340 know.

00:25:42.540 Do you

00:25:44.280 think Fauci

00:25:44.960 and Gates

00:25:45.480 just want

00:25:46.220 what's best

00:25:46.780 for you?

00:25:48.420 I think

00:25:49.060 Gates does.

00:25:50.800 I don't

00:25:51.080 know.

00:25:51.480 Well,

00:25:51.820 Fauci's,

00:25:52.240 remember,

00:25:52.820 Fauci's

00:25:53.240 doing a

00:25:53.560 job,

00:25:54.040 he's a

00:25:54.340 politician,

00:25:55.660 he's trying

00:25:56.120 to keep

00:25:56.420 his reputation

00:25:57.180 and all

00:25:57.860 that.

00:25:58.300 So he's

00:25:58.680 got more

00:25:59.060 complicated

00:25:59.700 motivation.

00:26:01.720 But do

00:26:02.200 I think

00:26:02.660 that Bill

00:26:03.460 Gates only

00:26:04.300 wants to

00:26:04.800 do what's

00:26:05.180 good for

00:26:05.500 the country?

00:26:06.020 Yep.

00:26:06.960 That's

00:26:07.300 exactly what

00:26:07.920 I think,

00:26:08.420 with no

00:26:08.920 hesitation

00:26:09.420 and no

00:26:10.780 ifs or

00:26:12.140 buts.

00:26:13.400 I think

00:26:13.940 Bill Gates

00:26:14.560 only wants

00:26:15.260 to do

00:26:15.560 what's good

00:26:15.940 for the

00:26:16.340 world and

00:26:17.060 the country.

00:26:18.560 Now,

00:26:19.720 I respect

00:26:21.020 a

00:26:21.340 disagreeing

00:26:22.020 opinion.

00:26:22.920 If you

00:26:23.200 have a

00:26:23.440 different

00:26:23.680 opinion,

00:26:24.100 I respect

00:26:24.500 that.

00:26:25.600 Because

00:26:26.080 neither of

00:26:26.500 us know,

00:26:27.080 right?

00:26:27.300 We'd have

00:26:27.640 to be in

00:26:27.980 its head.

00:26:28.640 We can't

00:26:29.100 do that.

00:26:30.400 But look

00:26:31.680 at, you

00:26:32.880 know,

00:26:34.040 follow the

00:26:34.840 money,

00:26:35.360 right?

00:26:36.480 If Gates

00:26:37.360 was only

00:26:38.040 interested in

00:26:38.760 making money,

00:26:40.120 he would not

00:26:40.720 have the Gates

00:26:41.520 foundation,

00:26:43.480 which spends

00:26:44.320 all of his

00:26:44.780 time giving

00:26:45.340 away his

00:26:45.740 money.

00:26:45.960 So he's

00:26:47.860 clearly not

00:26:48.460 in it for

00:26:48.820 the money.

00:26:49.920 He's in

00:26:50.340 it to

00:26:50.600 give away

00:26:51.020 money.

00:26:52.180 Literally

00:26:52.660 anti-money.

00:26:54.780 Now,

00:26:55.140 is Fauci

00:26:55.780 in it for

00:26:56.340 the money?

00:26:57.180 Well,

00:26:57.740 I doubt

00:26:58.120 it.

00:26:58.920 But he

00:26:59.820 may have

00:27:00.160 financial

00:27:00.560 interests,

00:27:01.520 and those

00:27:01.960 could make

00:27:02.720 a difference.

00:27:06.760 And giving,

00:27:07.640 oh,

00:27:07.820 power?

00:27:08.600 Yeah,

00:27:08.800 power,

00:27:09.160 I suppose,

00:27:09.640 is a

00:27:10.080 motivation.

00:27:11.120 I don't

00:27:11.400 see Bill

00:27:11.940 Gates

00:27:12.260 craving

00:27:13.400 power,

00:27:13.940 though.

00:27:14.140 at least

00:27:16.120 not in

00:27:16.700 any way

00:27:17.040 other than

00:27:17.460 a functional

00:27:17.980 power,

00:27:19.020 so he

00:27:19.240 can do

00:27:19.480 his charity

00:27:19.960 stuff

00:27:20.240 better.

00:27:23.140 Dig

00:27:23.660 deeper in

00:27:24.120 the

00:27:24.240 foundation,

00:27:25.000 someone

00:27:25.240 says.

00:27:28.320 Does

00:27:28.840 not prove

00:27:29.320 he's

00:27:29.540 right,

00:27:29.820 that's

00:27:30.040 true.

00:27:31.300 It's

00:27:31.600 moronic

00:27:32.040 to blindly

00:27:32.640 trust

00:27:33.040 billionaires,

00:27:33.680 nobody

00:27:33.900 does that.

00:27:34.960 Is there

00:27:35.260 anybody

00:27:35.580 who's

00:27:35.860 blindly

00:27:36.280 trusting

00:27:36.800 billionaires?

00:27:38.340 I don't

00:27:39.260 think that

00:27:39.660 person

00:27:39.940 exists.

00:27:42.480 It's

00:27:42.760 not about

00:27:43.140 money,

00:27:43.460 it's about

00:27:43.740 power.

00:27:44.260 Not

00:27:44.420 for

00:27:44.600 Gates.

00:27:46.560 I don't

00:27:47.180 think

00:27:47.420 Gates

00:27:47.700 has any

00:27:48.160 power

00:27:48.660 motivation

00:27:50.340 for the

00:27:51.060 pandemic.

00:27:53.100 What kind

00:27:53.420 of power

00:27:53.840 is he

00:27:54.140 going to

00:27:54.300 get from

00:27:54.620 that?

00:28:02.980 Let's

00:28:03.460 see.

00:28:04.680 Seems

00:28:05.000 you do

00:28:05.360 a bit

00:28:05.780 of mind

00:28:06.180 reading

00:28:06.500 of

00:28:06.840 Gates.

00:28:07.600 Well,

00:28:08.060 here's

00:28:08.380 what I'm

00:28:08.580 trying to

00:28:08.880 do.

00:28:09.460 I'm

00:28:09.660 trying to

00:28:10.460 look at

00:28:11.260 the

00:28:11.680 things that

00:28:12.620 would

00:28:12.840 influence

00:28:13.440 his

00:28:13.900 mind

00:28:14.220 as

00:28:14.520 opposed

00:28:14.760 to

00:28:14.920 his

00:28:15.080 mind

00:28:15.360 directly.

00:28:16.440 Things

00:28:16.840 that

00:28:16.980 influence

00:28:17.360 your

00:28:17.560 mind

00:28:17.800 would

00:28:18.000 be

00:28:18.340 profit,

00:28:19.120 for

00:28:19.320 example,

00:28:20.180 and that's

00:28:20.760 clearly not

00:28:21.600 a motive.

00:28:22.720 You can

00:28:23.560 see that

00:28:23.900 he's not

00:28:24.280 acting in a

00:28:25.040 profit way

00:28:26.000 about anything

00:28:27.300 at the

00:28:27.980 moment,

00:28:28.280 because he's

00:28:28.880 giving away

00:28:29.420 his money.

00:28:32.120 He has a

00:28:32.720 hero complex?

00:28:34.060 He should.

00:28:35.080 In the

00:28:37.480 comments I'm

00:28:38.000 saying that

00:28:39.060 Gates has

00:28:39.760 a hero

00:28:40.460 complex.

00:28:41.760 I hope

00:28:42.240 so.

00:28:43.760 Don't

00:28:44.280 you?

00:28:46.140 Does

00:28:46.720 Elon Musk

00:28:47.800 have a

00:28:48.300 hero

00:28:48.600 complex?

00:28:50.040 I sure

00:28:50.600 hope so.

00:28:52.140 I sure

00:28:53.140 hope so.

00:28:54.680 My God,

00:28:55.780 imagine if

00:28:56.320 they had

00:28:57.320 all that

00:28:57.700 power and

00:28:59.140 didn't have

00:28:59.660 an impulse

00:29:00.460 to help.

00:29:01.000 you want

00:29:04.440 them all

00:29:04.800 to have

00:29:05.040 a hero

00:29:05.440 complex?

00:29:06.280 My God,

00:29:07.460 there's

00:29:07.700 nothing I

00:29:08.160 want more

00:29:08.720 than for

00:29:09.140 Bill Gates

00:29:09.600 to have

00:29:09.840 a hero

00:29:10.200 complex.

00:29:12.160 Is there

00:29:12.720 anything you

00:29:13.120 want more

00:29:13.540 than that?

00:29:21.600 Yeah.

00:29:23.760 Wisdom

00:29:24.200 is more

00:29:24.680 than that.

00:29:25.320 Well,

00:29:25.560 I don't

00:29:25.780 know what

00:29:26.660 that means.

00:29:28.520 All right,

00:29:28.840 I'm just

00:29:29.100 looking at

00:29:29.380 some of

00:29:29.620 your comments

00:29:30.060 now because

00:29:30.580 it's a

00:29:30.980 slow news

00:29:31.680 day.

00:29:32.940 We,

00:29:33.420 of course,

00:29:33.740 will be

00:29:34.140 paying

00:29:34.440 respect to

00:29:35.200 all of

00:29:35.660 our fallen

00:29:37.020 heroes on

00:29:37.740 9-11.

00:29:40.120 But while

00:29:40.840 I got you

00:29:41.240 here,

00:29:41.560 let me

00:29:41.800 read to

00:29:42.520 you some

00:29:44.000 of the

00:29:44.280 micro lessons

00:29:44.980 that you

00:29:45.880 could have

00:29:46.200 been looking

00:29:47.020 at on

00:29:47.780 the Locals

00:29:49.560 platform.

00:29:51.100 So here

00:29:51.740 are all the

00:29:52.000 things you

00:29:52.300 can learn

00:29:52.560 in two

00:29:52.880 minutes,

00:29:53.220 little two

00:29:53.600 minute videos

00:29:54.080 I have on

00:29:54.560 the Locals

00:29:55.540 platform.

00:29:57.160 Beating

00:29:57.500 procrastination,

00:29:59.260 saving your

00:29:59.960 relationship

00:30:00.460 from TDS,

00:30:01.640 how to

00:30:02.120 make friends,

00:30:02.820 how to

00:30:03.000 learn something

00:30:03.520 effectively,

00:30:04.360 creating assets

00:30:05.100 from nothing,

00:30:06.720 lots of

00:30:08.880 stuff on

00:30:09.160 persuasion,

00:30:10.100 how to

00:30:10.620 know if

00:30:10.880 you live

00:30:11.140 in a

00:30:11.360 simulation,

00:30:12.780 how to

00:30:13.280 build your

00:30:13.660 self-esteem,

00:30:14.680 programming your

00:30:15.340 brain,

00:30:15.880 talking to

00:30:16.340 strangers,

00:30:17.640 be careful

00:30:18.300 what you

00:30:18.620 measure,

00:30:19.040 lots more

00:30:21.660 on persuasion,

00:30:23.160 how hypnotists

00:30:24.040 read body

00:30:24.720 language,

00:30:25.560 motivating

00:30:25.920 employees,

00:30:26.820 conflict

00:30:27.120 resolution,

00:30:27.940 creating ideas,

00:30:28.940 there are

00:30:29.880 149 of

00:30:30.940 these.

00:30:32.440 Now,

00:30:33.940 if you've

00:30:35.020 watched me

00:30:35.540 for a

00:30:37.220 long time,

00:30:38.100 and a

00:30:38.540 number of

00:30:38.880 you have,

00:30:40.160 you may

00:30:40.920 know that

00:30:42.440 I'm always

00:30:42.960 uncomfortable

00:30:43.500 doing marketing

00:30:44.400 because I have

00:30:45.760 to sell my

00:30:46.260 books and

00:30:46.800 calendars and

00:30:47.560 all that

00:30:48.020 stuff.

00:30:48.680 And I

00:30:49.120 never love

00:30:49.680 that stuff

00:30:50.220 because my

00:30:52.060 view is,

00:30:52.660 you know what

00:30:52.920 a Dilbert book

00:30:53.560 is, if you

00:30:54.200 want it,

00:30:54.580 you'll get

00:30:54.920 it.

00:30:55.940 I don't want

00:30:57.060 to talk you

00:30:57.640 into buying a

00:30:58.260 Dilbert book.

00:30:59.460 You know

00:30:59.780 what it is.

00:31:01.160 If you like

00:31:01.700 it, you'll

00:31:02.000 buy it.

00:31:02.540 If you

00:31:02.820 won't, you

00:31:03.840 won't.

00:31:05.260 But the

00:31:06.620 micro lessons

00:31:07.280 are different

00:31:07.860 because I've

00:31:09.160 watched the

00:31:09.700 feedback from

00:31:10.320 the people

00:31:10.700 who have

00:31:11.160 absorbed them

00:31:12.800 and people

00:31:14.080 are changing

00:31:14.620 their lives.

00:31:16.300 I mean,

00:31:16.520 people are

00:31:16.920 just reporting

00:31:17.820 amazing results

00:31:20.400 from just what

00:31:21.300 they learned

00:31:21.880 or how they

00:31:22.320 applied it at

00:31:22.920 work, etc.

00:31:23.860 And I'm

00:31:24.440 hearing this

00:31:24.780 every day.

00:31:25.580 Every day

00:31:26.060 I'm hearing

00:31:26.340 this.

00:31:26.640 And so

00:31:27.660 I would

00:31:29.340 submit to

00:31:29.920 you that

00:31:31.400 for $7,

00:31:33.900 which is

00:31:34.280 what one

00:31:34.720 month costs

00:31:36.080 of subscription

00:31:37.020 to locals,

00:31:38.140 or $5 if

00:31:39.500 you do a

00:31:39.920 yearly package,

00:31:41.080 but you

00:31:41.320 could, for

00:31:41.820 one month,

00:31:42.620 $7, you

00:31:44.360 could find

00:31:44.880 out if

00:31:47.040 you get

00:31:47.360 $7 worth

00:31:48.260 of value.

00:31:49.800 If you

00:31:50.500 don't,

00:31:51.020 well,

00:31:51.280 $7.

00:31:51.580 but there

00:31:53.280 are 149

00:31:54.160 things that

00:31:54.720 you could

00:31:55.160 add to

00:31:55.720 your talents,

00:31:58.020 give them

00:31:58.260 a look.

00:31:59.920 If you

00:32:00.440 did like

00:32:01.320 five of

00:32:01.880 them,

00:32:02.380 there's no

00:32:02.840 way you're

00:32:03.180 going to

00:32:03.340 feel the

00:32:03.720 same.

00:32:04.840 Just watch

00:32:05.500 five of

00:32:06.000 them and

00:32:07.140 see if you

00:32:07.600 feel the

00:32:08.360 same.

00:32:09.120 I don't

00:32:09.400 think you

00:32:09.760 will.

00:32:10.400 I think

00:32:10.720 you'll feel

00:32:11.080 like you

00:32:11.400 learned a

00:32:11.780 lot.

00:32:12.860 All right,

00:32:13.300 so that

00:32:13.700 is my

00:32:14.180 pitch.

00:32:15.460 and like

00:32:17.660 I say,

00:32:18.100 for the

00:32:18.480 entertainment

00:32:19.220 portion of

00:32:20.180 the things

00:32:20.640 that I

00:32:20.960 make,

00:32:21.500 calendars

00:32:22.000 and books

00:32:22.400 and stuff,

00:32:23.040 I don't

00:32:23.460 pitch them

00:32:23.960 that hard

00:32:24.520 because you

00:32:25.300 know what

00:32:25.640 you like.

00:32:26.820 In those

00:32:27.460 cases,

00:32:27.980 just letting

00:32:28.500 you know

00:32:28.760 they exist

00:32:29.300 is all

00:32:29.640 you need.

00:32:30.560 But the

00:32:31.240 micro-lessons

00:32:31.840 will change

00:32:32.320 your life.

00:32:33.440 So I'm

00:32:33.900 going to

00:32:34.060 push a

00:32:34.360 little harder

00:32:34.680 for that

00:32:35.000 because I

00:32:35.320 think it's

00:32:35.600 good for

00:32:35.940 you.

00:32:37.100 All right,

00:32:38.200 and that

00:32:38.780 is all.

00:32:42.420 That is

00:32:42.960 all I've

00:32:43.240 got for

00:32:43.540 today.

00:32:44.660 And I

00:32:44.920 will talk

00:32:45.220 to you

00:32:45.640 tomorrow.
