Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1526 Scott Adams： Dave Chapelle, Nobel Prize Craziness, and More Surprises

00:00:00.000 Hey, everybody. Come on in. Come on in. It's time for Coffee with Scott Adams.

00:00:10.800 Once again, as always, what? Yes, the best thing in the universe.

00:00:16.200 The known universe. I will allow that there's a possibility that outside the known universe

00:00:22.440 there might be something better than this, but I kind of doubt it, frankly.

00:00:25.640 You know, probably what you're thinking is, how can I take it up another notch?

00:00:31.540 Because that's the kind of people you are.

00:00:33.260 If you watch Coffee with Scott Adams, you're not satisfied with the status quo.

00:00:38.060 No, no, no. You're much better than that.

00:00:40.780 You know that continuous improvement is where it's at, and to continuously improve this morning,

00:00:46.220 you're going to have a simultaneous sip, and it's going to be marvelous.

00:00:50.720 Oh, no. I know some of you are still holdouts.

00:00:53.200 Yeah, no, I know that. I see you.

00:00:55.640 Yeah, I see you. I'm looking at you.

00:00:58.300 You're saying to yourself, there's no way in hell he is going to cause me to sip at the same time as he am.

00:01:04.980 I will not fall for that brainwashing and mind control.

00:01:09.640 No, no, you won't.

00:01:12.540 We'll see about that.

00:01:13.880 And for the rest of you who have discovered the unbridled joy of the simultaneous sip,

00:01:20.040 the rest of you can sit there in sadness and silence while we have an amazing experience.

00:01:25.500 And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a sign, canteen,

00:01:28.320 join the flask vessel of any kind.

00:01:29.880 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:01:30.680 I like coffee.

00:01:32.880 And join me now, all the amazing, smart, and sexy people,

00:01:37.020 for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine to the day,

00:01:40.660 the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:43.080 Go.

00:01:49.520 I saw somebody on YouTube said

00:01:52.200 that all you have left in your cup is the backwash.

00:01:55.120 Well, if you think that's not good enough,

00:01:58.760 you have not experienced a simultaneous sip.

00:02:01.720 Yeah.

00:02:02.580 It'll make the backwash taste divine.

00:02:07.320 Well, let's talk about all the news.

00:02:09.760 I retweeted a TikTok parody

00:02:13.580 in which there was a woman making fun of the TikTokers who dance goofy,

00:02:18.760 and she was doing a science thing saying you should have controlled trials, etc.

00:02:25.120 The funny thing about it was

00:02:27.120 how many people couldn't tell it was a parody.

00:02:32.640 Now, her point was not a parody.

00:02:34.420 She was trying to make a point about using science

00:02:36.660 instead of just an anecdote.

00:02:39.140 Fair enough.

00:02:40.460 But it was an ordinary-looking woman.

00:02:43.440 And here, this is not an insult, right?

00:02:45.160 She looked like the people you see in ordinary life

00:02:48.160 as opposed to the TikTok, Instagram stars

00:02:51.420 that look a little too perfect.

00:02:53.120 And she does an incredibly awkward dance

00:02:56.760 that is just close enough

00:02:59.620 to the people who actually do it on TikTok

00:03:02.260 that you're not entirely sure she's joking,

00:03:05.500 which is what makes it brilliant.

00:03:06.960 It's the funniest thing I've seen in a month.

00:03:08.980 Yeah, I can't do the imitation, but...

00:03:11.660 She does the goofy dancing.

00:03:14.860 I think I watched it ten times.

00:03:16.980 Anyway, it's in my Twitter feed today,

00:03:18.720 if you want to see that for a laugh.

00:03:20.220 And the laugh is knowing that other people don't know

00:03:22.700 that she's just doing a parody.

00:03:25.180 They can't tell.

00:03:27.500 Remember I predicted a while ago

00:03:29.180 that reality and parody would merge?

00:03:32.920 And we just wouldn't know the difference.

00:03:34.720 They would just look the same.

00:03:35.860 This is one of those examples.

00:03:38.560 Well, because you have prodded me and poked me

00:03:41.260 and told me,

00:03:42.720 damn it, Scott,

00:03:43.420 you've got to watch the Dave Chappelle comedy special

00:03:46.120 on Netflix, the new one,

00:03:48.000 and give us your opinion on,

00:03:50.100 did he insult the trans community

00:03:53.740 or the LBGTQ community or anybody else?

00:03:58.340 And so I watched it last night,

00:03:59.880 and I have the following review.

00:04:02.960 First of all, on the dimension of art.

00:04:06.040 If we just judge it for its art,

00:04:10.480 A+.

00:04:10.980 A+.

00:04:12.360 Just about one of the, I don't know,

00:04:15.060 maybe the second best stand-up I've ever seen.

00:04:18.780 The first was Dave Chappelle's last special.

00:04:23.080 I think this is about as good.

00:04:25.600 It's brilliantly constructed

00:04:27.600 because unlike other comedians

00:04:30.580 who get up and tell a bunch of jokes,

00:04:32.760 he builds a structure.

00:04:34.360 He builds a whole structure,

00:04:37.640 and the structure doesn't come together

00:04:39.420 until the end of the show.

00:04:41.280 Now, watching that level of art

00:04:43.700 on top of really, really funny stuff,

00:04:46.800 and the type of humor that he makes me laugh at,

00:04:50.600 I've never even seen.

00:04:53.040 I've never even seen.

00:04:54.440 If you watch most comedians

00:04:56.260 who are even name-brand comedians,

00:04:58.720 you see the formula.

00:05:00.840 You know what I mean?

00:05:01.960 You see the formula in each joke.

00:05:04.360 You're like, that's one of those.

00:05:06.240 Oh, it's one of the jokes where he says,

00:05:08.580 what if people were like babies?

00:05:11.080 Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:05:12.160 because if people were like babies,

00:05:14.040 then when they asked the food,

00:05:14.940 they'd cry.

00:05:15.900 Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

00:05:18.260 That's like 90% of all comic acts

00:05:21.360 are the, what if this was like this?

00:05:23.780 But Chappelle makes me laugh

00:05:27.460 as sentences that I can't even tell why they're funny.

00:05:33.660 Somebody in the comments is a little bit ahead of me.

00:05:36.200 Norm Macdonald is the same thing.

00:05:38.680 Well, different.

00:05:39.840 Let's say in the same,

00:05:41.880 let's say general field.

00:05:44.200 They're not that similar.

00:05:45.700 But Norm Macdonald's act

00:05:48.140 is about him making you uncomfortable.

00:05:51.740 And if you don't get that,

00:05:53.060 you don't get his act.

00:05:54.340 This was Norm Macdonald.

00:05:56.200 Likewise, Dave Chappelle came right in

00:05:58.560 and told the audience directly

00:06:00.060 he was going to make him uncomfortable

00:06:02.020 and that he was going to go farther

00:06:04.420 than they would feel comfortable.

00:06:07.340 And then he did it.

00:06:10.560 Amazingly.

00:06:11.080 Like, just the level of intelligence and art

00:06:16.540 he brings to his act is really impressive.

00:06:19.560 It's really impressive.

00:06:20.300 It's not like,

00:06:21.700 I don't even think you can put him

00:06:23.000 in the same category as other humorists, really.

00:06:26.580 I mean, he's operating on two levels

00:06:29.140 and who else is doing that right now?

00:06:31.680 It's kind of rare.

00:06:33.560 So on the artistic level, A+.

00:06:36.980 Best in the game.

00:06:39.040 Everything about it was good,

00:06:40.300 including the fact that he said

00:06:41.400 it was his last comedy special

00:06:44.220 for at least for a while.

00:06:46.860 So what do you do

00:06:48.400 when you're going to do a show

00:06:49.400 that's going to get you cancelled?

00:06:51.660 And you know it.

00:06:53.920 How do you handle that?

00:06:56.420 Well, the way he did it

00:06:57.420 was saying it was his last special.

00:07:00.080 Which is kind of brilliant.

00:07:02.600 It's also the third level.

00:07:05.640 So the first level is jokes.

00:07:07.860 The second level is that

00:07:09.080 he's designing a package

00:07:10.900 that you don't fully see

00:07:12.180 until the end of the show.

00:07:13.600 And then the third level

00:07:15.040 is reality.

00:07:18.300 He's playing three games at once.

00:07:21.000 Who the hell does that?

00:07:23.280 I mean, seriously,

00:07:24.160 who the hell does that?

00:07:25.420 I mean, it's George Carlin,

00:07:26.680 you could argue,

00:07:27.460 but I think Carlin was really

00:07:28.680 more about the jokes,

00:07:30.140 although he was also playing

00:07:31.720 with the audience's response.

00:07:32.940 But I think Chappelle

00:07:34.700 just takes it to a whole new level.

00:07:36.520 Now, did he insult the LGBT community?

00:07:43.500 I don't know.

00:07:45.640 How would I know?

00:07:47.380 I mean, I just watched it.

00:07:49.460 I don't know how anybody else

00:07:50.620 feels about it.

00:07:51.820 I can't feel what they feel.

00:07:53.960 But did I see it?

00:07:55.260 No.

00:07:56.260 No, I didn't.

00:07:56.900 I didn't see a trace of it.

00:07:59.260 Not a trace.

00:08:01.320 And I don't want to give away the act

00:08:03.580 because there's a reason I say

00:08:06.080 I didn't see a trace of it.

00:08:08.280 And the reveal of why I feel that way

00:08:11.220 would be giving away too much,

00:08:13.060 so I'm not going to tell you that.

00:08:14.900 But do I think that the criticisms

00:08:16.820 are valid?

00:08:17.540 No.

00:08:18.180 No, not even a little bit.

00:08:20.040 Not even a little bit.

00:08:20.880 Not even a trace.

00:08:21.780 Not a whiff.

00:08:22.380 Not a vapor.

00:08:24.000 Not a sniff.

00:08:25.860 Nothing.

00:08:26.220 Nothing.

00:08:27.800 One small, small criticism.

00:08:33.080 And it's really small.

00:08:35.860 But I feel like it's worth noting.

00:08:38.320 So part of his defense,

00:08:40.240 and I don't think this is giving away too much,

00:08:42.320 is that he was a good friend and supporter

00:08:45.300 of a specific transgender individual.

00:08:51.280 And the story was compelling,

00:08:53.160 and I won't tell you any more about it.

00:08:55.120 But it rang a little bit like,

00:09:00.040 I've got a black friend,

00:09:01.780 so I'm not a racist.

00:09:04.240 Anybody else get that?

00:09:06.640 Anybody else?

00:09:08.260 Anybody else feel like,

00:09:10.500 yeah, I have this one friend who was trans?

00:09:14.640 It felt a little bit like,

00:09:15.840 I've got one black friend,

00:09:17.080 so I'm not a racist.

00:09:17.820 A little bit.

00:09:18.780 A little bit.

00:09:18.820 A little bit.

00:09:19.500 Now, at the same time,

00:09:23.040 that's a very unfair criticism.

00:09:27.140 Very unfair criticism.

00:09:28.460 But so is the other one.

00:09:31.780 So is the other one.

00:09:33.980 It reminded me of that other criticism,

00:09:36.200 but I think they're both unfair.

00:09:38.360 Because, and I've said this a number of times,

00:09:40.280 but what is the right response

00:09:42.800 to somebody saying,

00:09:44.600 let's say,

00:09:45.380 a typical white person

00:09:46.800 talking to a typical black American,

00:09:48.760 and says,

00:09:49.960 I can't be racist,

00:09:51.220 my best friend is black,

00:09:52.600 or my good friend is black.

00:09:54.900 And then the black person says,

00:09:56.860 oh, you got that one black friend thing?

00:10:00.260 Weak.

00:10:01.080 Weak argument.

00:10:02.660 It might be.

00:10:03.920 But here's the better way to treat it.

00:10:06.680 It's like, oh, that's great.

00:10:08.760 Maybe you'll have two black friends soon.

00:10:11.960 That's the only way to treat that.

00:10:14.220 Right?

00:10:14.640 Treating it as a criticism,

00:10:16.360 I think is completely the wrong direction.

00:10:20.180 Because you're basically talking people

00:10:23.360 out of the one good thing they did.

00:10:26.140 If you did one good thing,

00:10:28.580 you made friends with one black person.

00:10:31.680 How about encouraging that?

00:10:33.600 Hey, that's great.

00:10:34.460 I'm actually,

00:10:35.040 it's good to know you have a black friend.

00:10:37.960 I hope he introduces you to some other people,

00:10:40.100 and we get something going here.

00:10:43.220 So,

00:10:43.860 I'll just tell you,

00:10:45.960 I was reminded of that criticism,

00:10:48.080 but it's not a fair criticism.

00:10:50.620 So,

00:10:50.960 let me apply this to Dave Chappelle.

00:10:53.840 He had one

00:10:54.780 close trans friend.

00:10:58.760 It's more than you have.

00:11:00.820 Okay,

00:11:01.160 not all of you.

00:11:01.920 Not all of you,

00:11:02.680 I know that.

00:11:03.500 But let's say 90% of you.

00:11:05.120 It's more than you have.

00:11:07.240 So,

00:11:08.640 one is more than you have.

00:11:10.020 It's more than I have.

00:11:11.560 I don't have a trans friend.

00:11:13.600 Right?

00:11:13.840 I wouldn't have any objection to it,

00:11:15.500 but I just don't have one.

00:11:17.900 And,

00:11:18.420 I feel like he should be complimented for that,

00:11:22.340 even though it makes me think of that other thing.

00:11:24.400 All right,

00:11:24.640 Southwest Airlines,

00:11:25.700 having a bunch of cancelled flights,

00:11:28.420 I think they tried to

00:11:29.580 play that off as weather related.

00:11:33.960 Apparently it's not.

00:11:35.000 It looked like the pilots were doing some kind of a sick out or taking their personal days or something.

00:11:43.100 But here's a little bit more on that story.

00:11:46.840 A couple of facts that are relevant.

00:11:49.120 Number one,

00:11:51.000 apparently a lot of the pilots have personal days built up.

00:11:56.060 And if you quit a job,

00:11:58.640 and you've got a bunch of personal days,

00:12:00.320 you just lose them.

00:12:02.220 So,

00:12:02.580 a lot of the pilots are probably thinking to themselves,

00:12:05.560 I might quit.

00:12:07.200 Because of the forced vaccination rule.

00:12:09.540 That's the problem.

00:12:10.920 I might quit.

00:12:12.220 So,

00:12:12.460 I better take all my personal days now.

00:12:14.080 So,

00:12:14.480 some of this is being accelerated

00:12:17.340 by people getting ahead of maybe quitting

00:12:20.480 by taking all their personal days,

00:12:22.320 because you might as well get paid for them.

00:12:24.640 And,

00:12:25.120 on top of that,

00:12:27.960 I saw an estimate,

00:12:29.200 this is not an official estimate,

00:12:30.860 just somebody who was observing,

00:12:33.400 believes that something like 80% of pilots are ex-military.

00:12:38.240 Didn't see that coming,

00:12:39.480 did you?

00:12:39.740 Now,

00:12:40.880 I can confirm from,

00:12:43.280 you know,

00:12:43.500 my wife's experience flying,

00:12:45.420 that there are a tremendous number of ex-military people who are pilots.

00:12:48.840 Because they learn in the military,

00:12:50.100 it's very expensive to learn to be a pilot.

00:12:52.580 So,

00:12:53.000 learning as a private citizen is almost prohibitive,

00:12:57.120 especially if you have a job.

00:12:59.540 But learning in the military is,

00:13:01.120 you know,

00:13:01.400 required.

00:13:02.220 And so,

00:13:02.700 they've got that skill,

00:13:03.640 and then they take it into the civilian world.

00:13:06.900 So,

00:13:07.100 80% of pilots are ex-military.

00:13:11.180 Some of them,

00:13:12.040 are still fighting for the country.

00:13:18.500 Some of them,

00:13:20.740 still patriots.

00:13:24.420 Maybe all of them.

00:13:26.040 But apparently,

00:13:27.180 this is a group of people that doesn't like to get pushed around.

00:13:30.120 Sorry.

00:13:34.580 Turns out that the ex-military doesn't like to get pushed around.

00:13:38.580 Who saw that coming?

00:13:41.660 Well,

00:13:42.600 here's the problem.

00:13:44.520 The problem is not that society

00:13:46.580 is sort of distributed evenly

00:13:49.680 across,

00:13:51.580 you know,

00:13:51.860 many industries.

00:13:52.940 some areas of society

00:13:56.080 have concentrations of people.

00:13:59.400 And this is one of them.

00:14:01.280 They have a high concentration

00:14:03.080 of people who don't want to be pushed around.

00:14:05.680 And they also control

00:14:07.080 a vital resource in the country,

00:14:09.600 flying.

00:14:10.000 And apparently,

00:14:12.280 enough of them

00:14:12.880 have decided

00:14:13.560 they're just going to not

00:14:16.460 put up with it.

00:14:18.980 And

00:14:19.420 I'm not going to say

00:14:24.240 I agree with them

00:14:25.220 or disagree.

00:14:27.540 So,

00:14:28.040 I'm not going to take their position

00:14:29.700 or talk against it.

00:14:32.940 I'm still very much

00:14:34.380 the view

00:14:35.200 you all have to make up

00:14:36.040 your own decisions

00:14:36.700 about getting vaccinated

00:14:37.680 or what you do about it.

00:14:40.260 But

00:14:40.520 despite being neutral

00:14:43.760 on their

00:14:44.700 decisions,

00:14:47.980 right,

00:14:48.160 I'm not neutral

00:14:48.740 on my own decisions,

00:14:49.780 but I'm neutral

00:14:50.360 on your decisions.

00:14:51.380 You make your own.

00:14:53.120 Despite being neutral

00:14:54.080 about it,

00:14:55.300 I am inspired by it.

00:14:58.120 Are you not inspired

00:14:59.380 by this?

00:15:01.060 That the people,

00:15:02.980 you know,

00:15:03.340 that joined the military

00:15:04.840 one way or the other,

00:15:05.940 looks like they got

00:15:10.320 another mission.

00:15:11.940 Didn't ask for it,

00:15:13.600 but there it is.

00:15:18.580 So,

00:15:19.140 that's one place

00:15:19.880 that there is

00:15:20.500 a large concentration

00:15:22.260 of people

00:15:23.240 who aren't going

00:15:24.360 to get pushed around.

00:15:26.820 It's not the only one.

00:15:29.140 There are some other

00:15:30.100 groups of people.

00:15:31.780 One of them,

00:15:32.620 I understand,

00:15:33.360 which I just learned,

00:15:34.220 and I won't tell you

00:15:35.460 my source.

00:15:36.740 He's probably watching

00:15:37.720 right now.

00:15:38.900 But

00:15:39.160 it turns out

00:15:41.360 that in the South,

00:15:43.320 a lot of the

00:15:44.200 major industries

00:15:45.540 are populated

00:15:46.720 very,

00:15:47.500 to a large degree,

00:15:49.280 by black people.

00:15:51.940 One of them

00:15:52.600 is like shipbuilding,

00:15:53.680 military shipbuilding.

00:15:55.680 So,

00:15:56.200 the military shipbuilding

00:15:57.400 business

00:15:57.860 just ground to a halt

00:15:59.220 because there aren't

00:16:00.880 enough

00:16:01.160 vaccinated employees.

00:16:03.000 they have a large

00:16:04.000 black workforce.

00:16:07.020 So,

00:16:07.500 you're going to see

00:16:07.920 some places

00:16:08.460 where people

00:16:09.160 who don't want

00:16:10.280 to get pushed around

00:16:11.260 for different reasons.

00:16:12.980 You know,

00:16:13.160 they have their own reasons

00:16:13.980 and I don't agree

00:16:15.280 or disagree.

00:16:16.240 But the black population

00:16:18.180 of this country,

00:16:19.220 what do they have

00:16:19.900 in common

00:16:20.360 in this particular case

00:16:21.520 with the pilots

00:16:23.640 and ex-military people?

00:16:26.380 These are two groups

00:16:27.680 of people

00:16:28.160 you don't want

00:16:29.800 to fuck with.

00:16:30.420 sorry,

00:16:32.420 I slipped.

00:16:33.660 I didn't mean

00:16:34.080 to use that.

00:16:35.540 It's two groups

00:16:36.220 of people

00:16:36.640 who don't want

00:16:37.880 to be pushed around.

00:16:39.860 It just doesn't work.

00:16:41.340 You just can't

00:16:41.880 push them around.

00:16:42.920 Right?

00:16:43.140 They're just not

00:16:43.660 going to take it.

00:16:44.800 So,

00:16:45.320 I'm not saying

00:16:45.820 that they're right

00:16:46.360 or wrong.

00:16:46.800 I'm just saying

00:16:47.280 that they can't

00:16:47.860 be pushed

00:16:48.340 and if there are

00:16:49.180 concentrations

00:16:49.880 of people

00:16:50.480 who can't be pushed

00:16:51.380 and they have

00:16:52.360 control over

00:16:53.160 vital resources

00:16:55.080 in this country,

00:16:56.820 don't believe

00:16:58.940 the government's

00:16:59.660 in charge.

00:17:01.020 Never has been.

00:17:02.280 Not in this country.

00:17:04.160 The government's

00:17:04.800 in charge

00:17:05.300 when it's convenient

00:17:07.100 to you.

00:17:08.680 The government's

00:17:09.500 in charge

00:17:10.020 when most of us

00:17:12.000 agree with what

00:17:12.800 they're doing.

00:17:14.200 The government's

00:17:14.940 in charge

00:17:15.360 when it's about

00:17:16.080 collecting the garbage

00:17:17.320 and you didn't

00:17:18.140 want to do it yourself.

00:17:20.020 The government's

00:17:20.960 in charge

00:17:21.340 when the country

00:17:21.880 gets attacked

00:17:22.600 because we like

00:17:23.820 it that way.

00:17:24.460 We want a good,

00:17:25.840 you know,

00:17:26.180 integrated,

00:17:27.500 centralized defense.

00:17:29.660 Do you know

00:17:30.540 when the government

00:17:31.180 isn't in charge?

00:17:33.580 When you don't

00:17:34.360 need them to be

00:17:34.980 and you don't

00:17:35.380 want them to be

00:17:36.020 and most of the

00:17:36.860 public is fed up.

00:17:39.680 As soon as the

00:17:40.680 public wants

00:17:41.460 this stuff to end,

00:17:43.220 it's over.

00:17:44.860 And it might be

00:17:46.420 led by groups

00:17:47.280 that just don't

00:17:48.900 like to get

00:17:49.360 pushed around.

00:17:51.480 And good for them.

00:17:52.940 We need them.

00:17:54.040 Right?

00:17:54.200 Even when they're

00:17:55.520 wrong,

00:17:55.840 we need them.

00:17:57.000 Because you need

00:17:57.880 citizens who

00:17:59.460 won't take it.

00:18:00.700 Just won't put up

00:18:01.380 with it.

00:18:03.580 So,

00:18:04.180 maybe good news

00:18:05.060 coming,

00:18:05.560 but we might

00:18:06.300 have to go

00:18:06.720 through some

00:18:07.360 deprivation

00:18:09.600 for a while.

00:18:13.980 Vaccination

00:18:14.420 mandates

00:18:14.880 are probably

00:18:15.760 going to make

00:18:16.120 life kind of

00:18:16.860 tough on the

00:18:17.420 economy for a

00:18:18.140 little while.

00:18:19.520 It's okay

00:18:20.140 with me.

00:18:21.020 I call that

00:18:21.560 legitimate protest.

00:18:22.640 Totally legitimate

00:18:24.300 whether I agree

00:18:25.160 with them or not.

00:18:26.280 And by the way,

00:18:27.040 I'm anti-mandate,

00:18:28.220 so I guess I do

00:18:28.880 agree with them.

00:18:30.160 But at the same

00:18:31.740 time, I did get

00:18:32.780 vaccinated, so.

00:18:35.680 I asked this

00:18:36.540 question on

00:18:37.220 Twitter.

00:18:38.640 I asked people

00:18:39.460 what they learned

00:18:40.300 during the pandemic,

00:18:41.740 meaning what kind

00:18:42.460 of skill they

00:18:43.160 acquired, you know.

00:18:44.460 And you need to

00:18:45.520 look at the

00:18:46.040 answers.

00:18:47.560 Talk about

00:18:48.240 motivating or

00:18:50.160 really almost

00:18:51.420 exhilarating.

00:18:52.640 There are two

00:18:53.880 kinds of people,

00:18:55.040 and I don't

00:18:55.400 know to what

00:18:55.920 extent people

00:18:57.280 can turn into

00:18:58.760 the other kind.

00:19:00.720 But have you

00:19:02.100 noticed the

00:19:02.500 whole country

00:19:02.980 got fat?

00:19:05.260 Anybody

00:19:05.540 notice that?

00:19:10.680 Yeah.

00:19:11.980 The weight

00:19:13.220 gain of the

00:19:14.080 whole country

00:19:14.680 is outrageous.

00:19:17.160 Now, what

00:19:18.300 would be the

00:19:19.000 best response

00:19:20.320 risk for a

00:19:21.440 country that

00:19:22.240 has a deadly

00:19:23.240 virus that

00:19:24.460 targets primarily

00:19:25.620 overweight people?

00:19:28.600 You know,

00:19:28.840 older and

00:19:29.540 overweight.

00:19:30.000 Those are the

00:19:30.460 two big risks.

00:19:32.160 What would the

00:19:32.620 country do to

00:19:33.420 respond to such

00:19:34.360 a threat?

00:19:35.920 Well, this

00:19:36.740 country got

00:19:37.320 fatter.

00:19:40.180 The country

00:19:41.140 got fatter by a

00:19:42.080 lot, right?

00:19:43.480 On average.

00:19:44.060 I know a lot of

00:19:44.560 you didn't.

00:19:44.920 So I asked

00:19:46.420 this question

00:19:46.940 of people

00:19:47.640 who follow

00:19:48.000 me, you

00:19:49.260 know, what

00:19:50.000 benefits did

00:19:51.740 you get?

00:19:52.400 Tons of

00:19:52.940 people who

00:19:53.340 follow me

00:19:53.940 lost weight.

00:19:56.340 I'll bet if

00:19:57.360 you looked at

00:19:57.780 the average

00:19:58.280 person who

00:19:58.860 follows my

00:20:00.280 content,

00:20:01.680 especially because

00:20:02.460 I talk about

00:20:03.060 exactly this

00:20:03.800 sort of stuff,

00:20:05.120 and I was

00:20:05.880 telling you early

00:20:06.480 in the pandemic,

00:20:07.400 my God, you're

00:20:07.940 never going to

00:20:08.340 get a chance

00:20:08.820 like this again.

00:20:10.300 In all

00:20:11.140 likelihood, this

00:20:12.960 will be the

00:20:13.380 time you can

00:20:13.940 reboot.

00:20:15.180 This is the

00:20:15.900 time you can

00:20:16.460 figure out how

00:20:17.020 to get your

00:20:17.380 fitness under

00:20:17.980 control.

00:20:18.440 This is the

00:20:18.920 time to diet.

00:20:20.380 This is the

00:20:21.100 time to start

00:20:21.800 a new business.

00:20:23.180 This is the

00:20:23.580 time to learn

00:20:24.080 a language,

00:20:25.080 acquire some

00:20:25.940 skills.

00:20:27.260 And I've been

00:20:27.900 saying that

00:20:28.300 for people who

00:20:29.800 follow me since

00:20:30.520 the beginning,

00:20:31.060 and then I've

00:20:31.500 been tracking

00:20:31.920 it.

00:20:32.820 And of course,

00:20:33.380 my book,

00:20:34.060 I'd have

00:20:34.260 failed almost

00:20:34.760 everything and

00:20:35.340 still went

00:20:35.760 big, is about

00:20:37.040 building what

00:20:37.900 I call a

00:20:38.340 talent stack.

00:20:40.020 And you

00:20:41.420 need to read

00:20:42.120 the comments.

00:20:43.860 Look what

00:20:44.340 happened to

00:20:45.660 the people

00:20:46.160 who took

00:20:46.760 that point

00:20:47.320 of view

00:20:47.700 versus the

00:20:49.300 people who

00:20:49.740 probably just

00:20:50.300 took some

00:20:50.740 kind of

00:20:51.220 pessimistic,

00:20:52.280 might as

00:20:54.100 well eat.

00:20:57.240 And you'll

00:20:58.780 see in the

00:20:59.140 comments too,

00:20:59.720 you see a lot

00:21:00.140 of people are

00:21:00.540 already commenting

00:21:01.680 of the things

00:21:02.700 they learned and

00:21:03.340 the weight they

00:21:03.800 lost and stuff

00:21:04.520 like that.

00:21:04.900 I also got

00:21:06.620 in great shape.

00:21:08.360 So I'm in

00:21:08.920 great shape.

00:21:09.540 I think I

00:21:09.940 probably acquired

00:21:11.700 five to seven

00:21:14.120 skills that

00:21:15.580 are directly

00:21:16.860 related to

00:21:17.660 my job.

00:21:21.460 Yeah.

00:21:22.280 So I would

00:21:23.000 argue that

00:21:23.820 there are two

00:21:24.220 kinds of

00:21:24.620 people in the

00:21:25.080 world and we

00:21:25.600 just discovered

00:21:26.280 who they are.

00:21:27.400 The people who

00:21:28.120 took advantage

00:21:28.760 of the crisis

00:21:29.360 and the people

00:21:30.020 who just

00:21:30.340 treated it like

00:21:31.000 a crisis and

00:21:32.500 lost.

00:21:34.660 So there

00:21:37.180 we go.

00:21:37.860 Somebody says

00:21:38.420 they expanded

00:21:39.020 their business

00:21:39.540 partly thanks

00:21:40.280 to me.

00:21:41.620 A number of

00:21:42.280 people have

00:21:42.580 been thanking

00:21:43.000 me this

00:21:43.400 morning for

00:21:44.840 exactly that,

00:21:46.680 for the

00:21:47.260 inspiration to

00:21:48.020 start a

00:21:48.340 business or

00:21:48.880 to lose

00:21:49.260 weight or

00:21:49.580 something.

00:21:50.680 And it

00:21:51.880 makes me feel

00:21:52.340 good.

00:21:53.320 I feel like I

00:21:54.060 did something

00:21:54.420 useful.

00:21:55.820 The meaning

00:21:56.400 of life.

00:21:57.420 If you're

00:21:57.940 looking for

00:21:58.320 the meaning

00:21:58.700 of life,

00:22:00.220 it's almost

00:22:01.340 always,

00:22:02.500 what you

00:22:03.480 did for

00:22:03.820 other people.

00:22:05.520 And when

00:22:06.080 I hear people

00:22:06.900 say,

00:22:07.240 oh,

00:22:07.540 there was

00:22:07.800 something you

00:22:08.220 said or

00:22:08.680 something in

00:22:09.100 your book

00:22:09.440 that caused

00:22:10.600 me to succeed

00:22:11.380 in some way,

00:22:12.280 and I

00:22:12.580 literally hear

00:22:13.460 that every

00:22:13.820 day,

00:22:14.840 it really

00:22:15.560 makes me

00:22:15.940 feel good.

00:22:17.100 It's the

00:22:18.000 largest reason

00:22:18.580 I do this,

00:22:20.100 is that I

00:22:21.360 get that

00:22:21.740 feedback and

00:22:22.440 it gives me

00:22:23.420 meaning.

00:22:24.520 I mean,

00:22:24.720 it would be

00:22:24.900 really easy,

00:22:25.800 you know it,

00:22:27.080 it would be

00:22:27.500 really easy for

00:22:28.200 me to just

00:22:28.640 stop working,

00:22:30.220 just lay on

00:22:30.740 the beach.

00:22:32.500 Go lay on

00:22:33.140 the beach

00:22:33.400 all day.

00:22:34.640 But why?

00:22:36.780 It seems like

00:22:37.300 a terrible

00:22:37.680 thing to do.

00:22:38.480 Sounds like

00:22:38.860 an awful

00:22:39.380 life.

00:22:40.580 Like,

00:22:41.080 the part

00:22:41.760 that is

00:22:42.260 meaning to

00:22:42.720 me is

00:22:43.040 people saying,

00:22:43.740 oh,

00:22:44.260 you helped

00:22:44.820 me in

00:22:45.080 some way.

00:22:47.980 There was

00:22:48.560 a study,

00:22:49.140 I think it

00:22:49.420 was in

00:22:49.820 February,

00:22:51.120 I don't know,

00:22:51.400 it was a

00:22:51.640 while ago,

00:22:52.400 but I

00:22:52.860 didn't see

00:22:53.220 it,

00:22:54.220 it said

00:22:54.480 basically the

00:22:55.180 super spreaders

00:22:55.960 are older,

00:22:57.240 obese people,

00:22:59.020 by a lot.

00:22:59.860 So it's

00:23:00.900 not like

00:23:01.320 they're

00:23:01.620 10%

00:23:02.180 worse,

00:23:03.100 they're

00:23:03.280 like four

00:23:04.180 or five

00:23:04.540 times worse

00:23:05.260 in terms

00:23:06.260 of spreading

00:23:06.740 if you're

00:23:07.360 both large

00:23:08.220 and older.

00:23:10.560 Now,

00:23:11.260 I think

00:23:12.520 you heard

00:23:12.880 that from

00:23:13.320 me before

00:23:13.980 you heard

00:23:14.300 it from

00:23:14.560 science,

00:23:15.120 am I

00:23:15.340 right?

00:23:16.660 Can

00:23:17.000 somebody

00:23:17.840 give me

00:23:18.260 a confirmation

00:23:19.780 on that?

00:23:20.900 I think

00:23:21.620 I was

00:23:21.900 telling you

00:23:22.260 there's

00:23:22.520 no way

00:23:23.120 that a

00:23:24.280 five-foot

00:23:24.960 woman

00:23:26.060 is putting

00:23:27.500 out as

00:23:28.000 much

00:23:28.320 COVID

00:23:28.940 as a

00:23:29.880 300-pound

00:23:30.760 man.

00:23:31.760 There's

00:23:32.000 just no

00:23:32.360 way that

00:23:32.700 that could

00:23:33.000 be true.

00:23:33.460 And sure

00:23:33.720 enough,

00:23:34.340 it's exactly

00:23:35.020 what you

00:23:35.440 think.

00:23:36.600 The bigger

00:23:37.460 the person

00:23:38.060 and the

00:23:39.320 older they

00:23:39.900 are,

00:23:40.540 which they

00:23:41.280 tend to get

00:23:41.800 sicker and

00:23:42.400 then have

00:23:42.680 more virus

00:23:43.280 to expel,

00:23:44.700 those two

00:23:45.340 things are

00:23:46.040 telling you

00:23:46.520 most of

00:23:47.200 what you

00:23:47.460 need to

00:23:47.780 know to

00:23:48.120 stay away

00:23:48.480 from.

00:23:49.760 I will

00:23:50.440 tell you

00:23:50.820 that there

00:23:51.240 was a

00:23:51.620 time recently

00:23:52.260 that I

00:23:52.720 entered a

00:23:53.380 smallish

00:23:54.260 indoor space

00:23:55.240 and there

00:23:56.400 was a

00:23:56.820 large,

00:23:57.520 older man

00:23:58.060 there and

00:23:58.420 I got

00:23:58.680 out of

00:23:58.900 there right

00:23:59.180 away.

00:24:00.180 I immediately

00:24:00.800 left.

00:24:01.940 Because I'm

00:24:02.480 not going to

00:24:02.880 spend any

00:24:03.460 time in a

00:24:04.260 small,

00:24:04.860 enclosed space

00:24:05.700 with a

00:24:06.660 large,

00:24:07.220 older person.

00:24:08.540 This is not

00:24:09.060 going to

00:24:09.260 happen.

00:24:09.880 Because if

00:24:11.520 I take that

00:24:12.220 out of my

00:24:12.740 life, which

00:24:13.300 is pretty

00:24:13.620 easy,

00:24:14.320 right?

00:24:14.680 There's not

00:24:15.520 many situations

00:24:17.300 where you'd

00:24:17.660 have to be

00:24:18.100 there.

00:24:18.720 If I take

00:24:19.440 that one

00:24:19.880 risk out of

00:24:20.360 my life,

00:24:20.840 I've reduced

00:24:21.300 my risk of

00:24:22.120 catching it

00:24:22.880 by what?

00:24:24.700 Like,

00:24:25.240 500% or

00:24:26.620 something.

00:24:27.960 It's some

00:24:28.620 gigantic number.

00:24:30.200 If the only

00:24:30.840 people I hang

00:24:31.440 around with

00:24:32.020 are people

00:24:32.560 who are not

00:24:33.020 large,

00:24:34.200 really large

00:24:35.280 elderly people,

00:24:38.080 I'm probably

00:24:38.440 fine.

00:24:40.400 It doesn't

00:24:41.180 remove all

00:24:41.640 your risk,

00:24:42.280 but a lot

00:24:43.480 of it.

00:24:46.820 On Twitter,

00:24:47.920 David

00:24:48.320 Rehoboy.

00:24:49.760 I hope I'm

00:24:50.260 pronouncing it

00:24:50.820 right.

00:24:51.200 It's either

00:24:51.520 Rehoboy or

00:24:52.400 Rehoboy.

00:24:53.200 He had

00:24:55.140 this tweet

00:24:55.720 that really

00:24:56.200 hit me in

00:24:56.820 the center

00:24:59.220 of my

00:24:59.720 existence.

00:25:01.660 He said,

00:25:02.120 95% of

00:25:03.400 women you

00:25:03.800 meet can't

00:25:04.720 wait to

00:25:05.160 travel somewhere

00:25:06.080 with you,

00:25:07.060 alone,

00:25:07.540 with friends,

00:25:08.000 et cetera.

00:25:08.920 Do they

00:25:09.500 really enjoy

00:25:10.120 it?

00:25:10.800 Or is it

00:25:11.160 something they

00:25:11.660 think they

00:25:12.040 should enjoy?

00:25:12.620 Now, I

00:25:16.640 can't tell

00:25:17.300 you how

00:25:17.780 many times

00:25:18.240 this question

00:25:18.980 has been

00:25:19.700 on my

00:25:20.040 mind.

00:25:21.140 Now, I'm

00:25:21.880 sort of the

00:25:22.540 stay home

00:25:23.880 and build

00:25:24.700 an exciting

00:25:26.000 life where

00:25:26.540 I'm already

00:25:27.060 at.

00:25:28.500 I've designed

00:25:29.500 my house to

00:25:30.380 have all the

00:25:30.980 toys I need

00:25:31.900 and the

00:25:32.860 people in

00:25:33.380 it or the

00:25:33.800 people I

00:25:34.160 wanted to

00:25:34.500 be in it.

00:25:35.720 I do

00:25:36.620 this.

00:25:37.220 So I have

00:25:37.740 this amazingly

00:25:38.900 a deep

00:25:40.980 kind of

00:25:41.720 meaningful

00:25:42.060 life without

00:25:43.700 leaving this

00:25:44.680 chair.

00:25:46.000 I mean, I

00:25:46.340 do more in

00:25:46.860 this chair,

00:25:48.960 literally this

00:25:49.660 chair, than

00:25:51.420 people can do

00:25:52.460 in years in

00:25:53.360 terms of

00:25:53.740 stimulation and

00:25:54.700 interesting things

00:25:55.520 to do.

00:25:56.280 So I don't

00:25:56.840 need travel like

00:25:58.700 other people do.

00:25:59.640 Now, I don't

00:25:59.960 know what other

00:26:00.380 factors there

00:26:00.940 are.

00:26:01.560 But I was

00:26:02.460 looking at

00:26:02.780 this speculation

00:26:03.460 people had

00:26:04.420 about, and

00:26:05.720 first of all,

00:26:06.160 do you agree

00:26:06.600 with that?

00:26:07.560 Do you agree

00:26:08.060 that women

00:26:08.600 seem to be

00:26:09.820 obsessed with

00:26:11.080 travel in a

00:26:12.080 way that men

00:26:12.920 are not, even

00:26:13.680 if you like

00:26:14.140 travel?

00:26:15.340 Women have

00:26:16.060 got to travel.

00:26:17.280 It's almost

00:26:17.820 like they have

00:26:18.500 to.

00:26:20.580 I'm seeing

00:26:21.280 confirmation of

00:26:22.120 that, so a

00:26:23.040 lot of people

00:26:23.360 are saying

00:26:23.580 the same.

00:26:24.120 I thought it

00:26:24.640 was just

00:26:24.980 me.

00:26:26.620 I thought

00:26:27.480 that there

00:26:28.180 was some

00:26:28.500 weird coincidence

00:26:29.360 in my life

00:26:30.460 that whenever

00:26:31.840 I met a

00:26:33.500 female, the

00:26:35.080 only thing

00:26:35.700 that could

00:26:35.940 make them

00:26:36.240 happy is

00:26:36.700 travel.

00:26:37.480 Let me

00:26:37.740 say it

00:26:37.980 again.

00:26:39.320 It's the

00:26:39.980 only thing

00:26:40.720 that can

00:26:41.020 make them

00:26:41.420 happy.

00:26:42.440 And they'll

00:26:42.800 tell you

00:26:43.140 that in

00:26:44.380 exactly those

00:26:45.080 words.

00:26:45.820 Only one

00:26:46.560 thing can

00:26:46.940 make me

00:26:47.220 happy.

00:26:48.260 Lots of

00:26:48.820 travel.

00:26:49.160 Have you

00:26:50.920 heard that?

00:26:52.800 On whose

00:26:53.460 dime, exactly?

00:26:54.920 So, I mean,

00:26:55.560 it's easier to

00:26:56.060 travel if

00:26:56.420 somebody else

00:26:56.800 is paying

00:26:57.100 for it.

00:26:58.500 All right.

00:26:59.360 So here

00:26:59.980 are the

00:27:00.180 reasons that,

00:27:00.980 and I don't

00:27:01.420 understand why

00:27:02.260 exactly, but

00:27:03.060 here are the

00:27:03.520 speculations,

00:27:04.660 mostly from

00:27:05.200 men.

00:27:05.460 So here

00:27:07.680 are sexist

00:27:10.140 opinions.

00:27:12.660 So these

00:27:13.000 are men

00:27:13.680 speculating,

00:27:15.120 I think

00:27:15.400 they're mostly

00:27:15.800 men, I

00:27:16.480 might be

00:27:16.780 wrong about

00:27:17.160 that, but I

00:27:17.920 think they're

00:27:18.200 mostly men

00:27:18.880 speculating

00:27:20.200 about women,

00:27:21.560 why women

00:27:22.120 like to

00:27:22.520 travel.

00:27:23.400 Are you

00:27:23.640 ready for

00:27:24.520 some super

00:27:25.360 sexist

00:27:26.120 opinion here?

00:27:27.200 All right,

00:27:28.820 one is,

00:27:29.820 somebody said

00:27:30.380 that women

00:27:30.720 like to

00:27:31.160 travel because,

00:27:32.500 quote, it

00:27:33.600 costs a lot

00:27:34.280 of money.

00:27:35.560 In the

00:27:35.860 comments, I

00:27:36.460 want to see

00:27:36.840 if you agree

00:27:38.220 or disagree.

00:27:39.220 Now, there's

00:27:39.560 not one

00:27:39.980 reason, right?

00:27:41.120 There's going

00:27:41.420 to be a

00:27:41.700 variety of

00:27:42.320 reasons, but

00:27:43.300 does that

00:27:44.380 one fit into

00:27:45.480 any of your

00:27:46.400 model?

00:27:47.500 That women

00:27:47.940 like to

00:27:48.460 travel because

00:27:49.920 it costs a

00:27:50.820 lot of

00:27:51.080 money.

00:27:52.520 See, mostly

00:27:53.100 no's.

00:27:54.460 No's.

00:27:56.240 Nobody?

00:27:56.760 Nobody wants

00:27:57.520 to go with

00:27:57.840 that one?

00:27:59.220 I see one

00:28:00.320 yes, a few

00:28:01.000 yeses.

00:28:02.220 All right, let

00:28:02.580 me put a

00:28:02.940 little more

00:28:03.300 me on that,

00:28:04.200 all right?

00:28:06.120 Somebody else

00:28:06.920 used this

00:28:07.560 phrase.

00:28:08.260 It's signaling

00:28:09.020 on social

00:28:10.020 media.

00:28:11.820 It's a way

00:28:12.340 to signal

00:28:12.980 some kind

00:28:14.280 of success

00:28:15.060 or freedom

00:28:15.640 or something.

00:28:17.240 Now, you're

00:28:17.580 saying yes to

00:28:18.100 that one,

00:28:18.440 right?

00:28:19.700 Is the

00:28:20.700 social signaling

00:28:21.660 different from

00:28:24.480 what the first

00:28:25.100 person said?

00:28:25.740 It costs a lot

00:28:26.420 of money.

00:28:29.760 Kind of

00:28:30.280 related, aren't

00:28:30.860 they?

00:28:31.480 Because I got

00:28:32.040 most of you

00:28:32.600 used to say

00:28:33.040 yes, that

00:28:34.360 it's about

00:28:34.740 signaling your

00:28:35.740 success or

00:28:36.760 something on

00:28:37.220 social media,

00:28:38.280 but yet you

00:28:38.980 weren't willing

00:28:39.540 to say that

00:28:41.060 they do it

00:28:41.460 because it

00:28:41.860 costs a lot

00:28:42.360 of money.

00:28:42.700 What is it

00:28:44.740 about these

00:28:45.260 vacations that

00:28:47.140 they show on

00:28:47.760 social media

00:28:48.400 makes them

00:28:49.140 worth showing

00:28:49.840 on social

00:28:50.280 media?

00:28:50.920 Is it because

00:28:51.700 the pictures

00:28:52.200 are attractive?

00:28:53.880 That's part of

00:28:54.760 it's because

00:28:56.580 it costs a

00:28:57.180 lot of

00:28:57.400 money, right?

00:28:59.400 I think it's

00:29:00.400 signaling resources

00:29:03.000 or signaling

00:29:05.080 that somebody

00:29:05.840 in their life

00:29:06.580 was willing

00:29:07.080 to spend a

00:29:07.620 lot of money

00:29:07.960 to take

00:29:08.320 them somewhere.

00:29:10.100 So definitely

00:29:10.960 the fact that

00:29:11.680 it's exclusive

00:29:12.460 and expensive

00:29:13.460 got to be

00:29:15.100 part of it,

00:29:16.100 right?

00:29:16.320 Another theory

00:29:18.940 is that,

00:29:19.780 I don't remember

00:29:20.820 if this was a

00:29:21.380 man or a

00:29:21.740 woman who

00:29:22.020 said this,

00:29:22.820 but that the

00:29:23.380 home is where

00:29:23.940 the women

00:29:24.340 do their

00:29:24.900 work.

00:29:27.160 Sexist.

00:29:28.620 Statistically,

00:29:29.200 there's something

00:29:29.560 to it,

00:29:30.340 but sexist,

00:29:31.400 right?

00:29:31.640 No reason it's

00:29:32.360 the woman who's

00:29:33.200 staying home.

00:29:34.040 In many cases,

00:29:34.700 it's the other

00:29:35.060 way.

00:29:37.740 But what do

00:29:38.380 you think?

00:29:39.380 Statistically,

00:29:39.980 probably more

00:29:40.940 women are staying

00:29:41.560 home than men

00:29:42.120 still.

00:29:43.360 So do you

00:29:43.680 think that's it?

00:29:44.360 The home is

00:29:44.980 where the women

00:29:45.460 do their work,

00:29:46.320 so they just

00:29:47.040 got to get

00:29:47.400 out of the

00:29:47.700 office,

00:29:48.120 basically,

00:29:48.640 and the

00:29:48.820 only way

00:29:49.100 you can do

00:29:49.480 that is to

00:29:50.520 go on

00:29:50.720 vacation.

00:29:52.060 Seeing some

00:29:52.520 yeses.

00:29:55.620 I'd say

00:29:56.200 yeses.

00:29:58.880 Seeing correct.

00:30:01.060 I prefer the

00:30:01.800 kitchen.

00:30:02.740 True.

00:30:03.360 Yes.

00:30:04.360 Okay.

00:30:05.600 But let me

00:30:06.340 give you the

00:30:06.880 counter argument.

00:30:08.680 Let's say

00:30:09.200 it's what you

00:30:10.160 call the

00:30:10.860 classic 50s

00:30:12.820 family,

00:30:14.160 where the

00:30:15.100 man is

00:30:15.920 working all

00:30:16.440 day and

00:30:17.120 the mom

00:30:18.460 is being

00:30:18.960 a mom.

00:30:20.280 And I

00:30:20.520 know that

00:30:21.500 doesn't

00:30:21.840 describe the

00:30:22.400 world anymore,

00:30:23.220 but let's

00:30:23.780 just take that

00:30:24.380 for our

00:30:24.900 example to

00:30:25.400 talk it

00:30:25.920 through.

00:30:26.840 So the

00:30:27.260 man works

00:30:27.820 all day,

00:30:28.980 gets up at

00:30:29.760 five or

00:30:30.280 whatever,

00:30:30.800 travels,

00:30:31.380 works all

00:30:31.760 day,

00:30:32.420 at least in

00:30:32.880 the old

00:30:33.120 world.

00:30:33.520 Maybe he's

00:30:33.840 working at

00:30:34.200 home now.

00:30:35.660 Gets home

00:30:36.200 after work,

00:30:37.520 and then the

00:30:38.140 man,

00:30:38.840 luckily,

00:30:39.700 doesn't have to

00:30:40.320 do any more

00:30:40.780 work.

00:30:41.880 So luckily,

00:30:42.960 when the

00:30:43.240 man is at

00:30:43.760 home,

00:30:44.360 no work.

00:30:51.200 What?

00:30:52.680 What?

00:30:53.460 Why are you

00:30:54.240 arguing with

00:30:54.860 me in the

00:30:55.360 comments?

00:30:57.680 That's the

00:30:58.240 way it works,

00:30:58.740 isn't it?

00:30:59.580 Doesn't the

00:31:00.100 man work all

00:31:00.820 day, and

00:31:02.000 then when he

00:31:02.340 comes home,

00:31:03.640 no more

00:31:04.100 work.

00:31:04.880 It's vacation

00:31:05.460 time.

00:31:06.320 Good times.

00:31:08.440 No.

00:31:08.920 No, not

00:31:10.400 in the real

00:31:10.720 world.

00:31:11.180 In the real

00:31:11.540 world, the

00:31:11.920 man works

00:31:12.440 all day,

00:31:13.260 and then

00:31:13.800 comes home

00:31:14.280 and starts

00:31:14.640 working again.

00:31:15.520 He just

00:31:15.820 works at

00:31:16.840 home.

00:31:18.560 Like, it's

00:31:19.140 his turn to

00:31:19.680 watch the

00:31:20.100 kids, it's

00:31:21.000 his turn to

00:31:22.000 drive, etc.

00:31:25.880 Now, of

00:31:26.980 course, there

00:31:27.260 are other

00:31:27.480 cases I'm

00:31:28.020 seeing in

00:31:28.340 the comments.

00:31:28.980 Somebody's

00:31:29.380 saying, your

00:31:29.880 husband works

00:31:30.560 and she

00:31:30.920 does everything

00:31:31.440 else.

00:31:32.560 I can see

00:31:33.240 that.

00:31:34.100 Are you

00:31:34.340 saying that

00:31:34.660 when your

00:31:34.920 husband comes

00:31:35.480 home after

00:31:35.900 work, you

00:31:37.340 don't ask

00:31:37.780 him to do

00:31:38.120 anything?

00:31:38.920 So if

00:31:39.800 something's

00:31:40.180 broken, you

00:31:42.020 get out the

00:31:42.440 tools and

00:31:42.840 you fix it?

00:31:43.680 And your

00:31:43.880 husband's on

00:31:44.380 the couch?

00:31:45.600 Is that

00:31:46.120 working at

00:31:46.520 your house?

00:31:49.800 All right,

00:31:51.740 and then the

00:31:52.020 other thing is

00:31:52.540 a change of

00:31:53.180 scenery, but I

00:31:53.920 would think that

00:31:54.380 men would need

00:31:54.900 a change of

00:31:55.420 scenery as

00:31:56.680 much as

00:31:57.040 women, but

00:31:57.620 I don't know.

00:31:59.280 I will tell

00:32:00.000 you that my

00:32:00.500 pet peeve is

00:32:01.280 the two-stop

00:32:02.160 trip.

00:32:03.900 The two-stop

00:32:04.940 trip.

00:32:06.520 As a man,

00:32:07.700 let me tell

00:32:08.160 you the

00:32:08.440 women.

00:32:08.920 And I want

00:32:09.600 to see if

00:32:09.900 any men

00:32:10.360 agree with

00:32:10.920 me, because

00:32:11.840 for the

00:32:12.140 women, this

00:32:12.600 might be the

00:32:13.180 first time

00:32:13.560 you hear

00:32:13.820 this.

00:32:17.060 Two percent

00:32:17.760 vaxxed in

00:32:18.320 Africa.

00:32:24.640 Lots of

00:32:25.160 times there

00:32:25.580 will be a

00:32:25.980 social trip,

00:32:27.620 so it could

00:32:27.880 be something

00:32:28.300 local where

00:32:29.020 you're going

00:32:29.300 to a friend's

00:32:29.760 house, and

00:32:30.620 then you'll

00:32:30.860 have this

00:32:31.280 evening planned.

00:32:32.800 Oh, we're

00:32:33.260 all going to

00:32:33.560 go to this

00:32:33.960 restaurant, or

00:32:35.520 we're going to

00:32:35.800 go to this

00:32:36.140 friend's

00:32:36.440 house.

00:32:37.480 Somebody who

00:32:38.960 is part of

00:32:39.380 the plan will

00:32:40.200 always say,

00:32:41.580 oh, yeah, but

00:32:42.920 before that, why

00:32:45.080 don't you come

00:32:45.620 over here for

00:32:46.180 some drinks at

00:32:47.240 my house, or

00:32:48.560 maybe after

00:32:49.280 that, why

00:32:50.660 don't we go to

00:32:51.180 this other

00:32:51.560 place, you

00:32:52.280 know, a

00:32:52.520 club or a

00:32:53.360 bar or

00:32:53.620 something.

00:32:53.840 I hate the

00:32:57.200 two-stop

00:32:57.880 night.

00:32:59.060 One stop, one

00:33:00.980 destination, one

00:33:02.800 thing.

00:33:03.560 I can enjoy

00:33:04.880 that completely.

00:33:06.860 But no, do

00:33:08.420 not try to

00:33:09.320 organize people

00:33:10.160 to go to two

00:33:10.900 places.

00:33:11.980 Everything falls

00:33:12.900 apart.

00:33:13.760 If you go to

00:33:14.340 the appetizer

00:33:15.220 house first, then

00:33:17.640 you drink

00:33:18.740 alcohol and you

00:33:19.500 have to drive,

00:33:21.060 bad enough, to a

00:33:22.860 second place.

00:33:23.840 And then

00:33:24.580 you're full

00:33:25.280 because they

00:33:26.120 serve you

00:33:26.500 appetizers and

00:33:27.400 you feel like

00:33:28.120 you have to

00:33:28.440 eat them.

00:33:28.960 I mean, it

00:33:29.240 ruins the

00:33:29.600 whole night.

00:33:31.020 And on

00:33:31.420 vacation, oh

00:33:33.520 my God, I

00:33:35.060 hate the

00:33:35.540 traveling part,

00:33:36.700 most of you

00:33:37.780 would agree.

00:33:38.520 The traveling

00:33:39.260 part where

00:33:40.240 you're actually

00:33:40.680 moving to the

00:33:41.840 new place is

00:33:42.540 hell for me.

00:33:44.280 It's just

00:33:44.780 hell.

00:33:46.420 And it's

00:33:46.860 common for

00:33:47.760 whoever I'm

00:33:48.580 with at the

00:33:49.340 moment, Christina,

00:33:50.460 we'll plan a

00:33:51.180 trip and it'll

00:33:51.620 be like, hey,

00:33:52.060 let's go to,

00:33:52.780 let's say,

00:33:53.340 different country.

00:33:54.940 And I'll be

00:33:55.420 like, grudgingly,

00:33:57.140 because I never

00:33:57.840 love to travel,

00:33:59.940 but I can get

00:34:00.400 talked into it and

00:34:01.160 then enjoy it.

00:34:02.180 So I enjoy it

00:34:02.940 after I go.

00:34:03.560 It's just hard to

00:34:04.140 talk me into it.

00:34:05.080 Somewhere in that

00:34:05.960 plan, almost every

00:34:07.340 time, there'll be,

00:34:09.200 oh, and we'll take

00:34:10.760 two days to visit

00:34:12.600 this other country

00:34:13.480 out of our week.

00:34:15.980 The whole vacation

00:34:16.920 is ruined for me.

00:34:17.800 You add that

00:34:19.100 second trip,

00:34:20.960 whole thing's

00:34:22.160 ruined.

00:34:24.060 Anybody?

00:34:25.460 Anybody else?

00:34:26.660 Is there anybody

00:34:27.180 else who agree

00:34:27.860 with my statement

00:34:28.640 that adding a

00:34:29.900 second trip

00:34:30.680 to anything

00:34:32.560 ruins the whole

00:34:33.920 experience?

00:34:36.740 Yeah.

00:34:37.120 I'm seeing some

00:34:37.740 no's, but lots

00:34:38.480 of yes's.

00:34:39.740 So women,

00:34:41.180 any women

00:34:41.720 watching this,

00:34:42.480 if you're

00:34:44.280 adding that

00:34:44.840 second place,

00:34:46.760 somebody in

00:34:47.680 your car isn't

00:34:48.940 happy with you

00:34:49.620 but may not

00:34:50.180 tell you.

00:34:51.160 Just know it.

00:34:53.140 All right,

00:34:53.440 here's the question.

00:34:54.440 Should we all

00:34:55.060 have the same

00:34:55.600 stuff and the

00:34:56.680 same access to

00:34:57.560 things or the

00:34:58.100 same amount of

00:34:58.780 happiness?

00:35:01.880 Which is fair,

00:35:03.720 that we have

00:35:04.200 the same amount

00:35:04.980 of stuff and

00:35:05.960 the same amount

00:35:06.580 of access and

00:35:07.540 rights and stuff

00:35:08.280 or the same

00:35:09.220 amount of

00:35:09.640 happiness?

00:35:10.200 which should

00:35:12.240 we manage

00:35:12.820 to?

00:35:16.940 I'm seeing

00:35:17.620 somebody say

00:35:18.100 access.

00:35:19.280 Should we

00:35:19.820 manage to

00:35:20.300 that because

00:35:21.200 we can?

00:35:24.200 All right,

00:35:24.520 how about

00:35:24.940 forget access

00:35:26.620 because, yeah,

00:35:27.620 you're right,

00:35:27.940 you have to

00:35:28.260 manage access.

00:35:29.320 But how about

00:35:29.980 success?

00:35:31.880 Should we

00:35:32.300 manage to

00:35:32.800 get everybody

00:35:33.280 the same amount

00:35:33.880 of success and

00:35:34.860 money or the

00:35:36.200 same amount

00:35:36.600 of happiness?

00:35:38.600 The goal in

00:35:39.520 life is

00:35:39.880 happiness,

00:35:40.380 right?

00:35:42.380 Right?

00:35:43.780 If you did a

00:35:44.520 poll and found

00:35:45.200 out that everybody

00:35:45.920 was about the

00:35:46.520 same amount of

00:35:47.100 happiness,

00:35:47.580 you're done,

00:35:47.980 are you?

00:35:49.800 And I think if

00:35:50.560 you did a poll,

00:35:51.140 you'd find out

00:35:51.600 people are about

00:35:52.140 the same amount

00:35:52.720 of happiness.

00:35:55.280 I'm not sure,

00:35:56.620 but I think that

00:35:57.520 would be the case.

00:35:58.620 People are about

00:35:59.120 roughly the same.

00:36:01.080 So why are we

00:36:01.860 trying to fix

00:36:02.400 everything?

00:36:04.420 There's nothing

00:36:04.980 to fix.

00:36:05.560 Everybody's just

00:36:06.120 about as happy

00:36:06.680 as they're going

00:36:07.160 to get.

00:36:07.800 And if you gave

00:36:08.600 people more stuff,

00:36:09.400 it wouldn't

00:36:09.700 make them

00:36:10.020 happier,

00:36:10.760 beyond the

00:36:12.660 minimum.

00:36:13.920 Once you get

00:36:14.540 the minimum.

00:36:15.300 But you've got

00:36:15.720 to get the

00:36:16.020 minimum.

00:36:16.520 I think that's

00:36:16.940 worth doing.

00:36:18.440 All right.

00:36:19.860 I heard somebody

00:36:20.780 say that we're

00:36:22.580 going to have

00:36:22.820 more fake

00:36:24.780 vaccine

00:36:25.900 identification

00:36:27.420 cards because

00:36:28.780 people will try

00:36:29.360 to beat the

00:36:29.800 system.

00:36:30.780 But it can't

00:36:31.940 be long before

00:36:32.680 facial recognition

00:36:33.660 is how you

00:36:34.460 check your

00:36:34.940 vaccine status,

00:36:35.960 right?

00:36:37.040 Correct me if

00:36:37.760 I'm wrong.

00:36:38.780 Is there

00:36:39.220 not a

00:36:39.960 database or

00:36:41.140 databases somewhere

00:36:42.780 in government

00:36:43.800 control in

00:36:45.660 which they have

00:36:46.280 your name and

00:36:46.920 your social

00:36:47.320 security number

00:36:48.140 and when you

00:36:49.760 got vaccinated

00:36:50.520 and by what?

00:36:51.360 Am I wrong

00:36:53.400 that that exists?

00:36:55.060 Isn't everybody

00:36:55.860 who gives

00:36:56.380 vaccinations

00:36:57.040 required to

00:36:57.940 report it?

00:36:59.520 Somebody says

00:37:00.040 no social

00:37:00.500 security number.

00:37:02.720 Hmm.

00:37:03.160 really?

00:37:06.460 But they do

00:37:07.240 have identification

00:37:07.920 because you

00:37:08.720 have to show

00:37:09.120 ID.

00:37:11.120 All right.

00:37:11.480 So here's

00:37:12.800 the thought.

00:37:13.780 I believe that

00:37:14.760 there will be

00:37:15.360 facial recognition

00:37:17.280 apps that can

00:37:19.280 just grab your

00:37:20.440 face and

00:37:20.920 immediately see

00:37:21.680 if you're

00:37:21.960 vaccinated.

00:37:22.360 And if not,

00:37:24.740 you know,

00:37:25.200 we could have

00:37:25.620 that easily.

00:37:26.500 So I don't

00:37:27.120 think the

00:37:27.600 problem of

00:37:28.740 fake vaccination

00:37:30.240 cards is going

00:37:31.020 to last forever.

00:37:31.640 Even fake IDs

00:37:32.720 is going to

00:37:33.160 go away.

00:37:34.000 I would

00:37:34.320 imagine that

00:37:34.880 it won't be

00:37:35.380 long before,

00:37:36.780 you know,

00:37:38.940 let's say a

00:37:39.800 club doesn't

00:37:40.540 have to ask

00:37:40.980 for your ID.

00:37:42.120 They'll just

00:37:42.400 look at your

00:37:42.780 face and

00:37:43.280 they'll know

00:37:43.680 your age from

00:37:44.360 other databases.

00:37:48.340 Anyway,

00:37:48.840 that's coming.

00:37:49.320 I'm not saying

00:37:49.720 it's good or

00:37:50.160 bad.

00:37:50.580 It's just

00:37:50.960 coming.

00:37:52.780 So the

00:37:53.360 Nobel Prize

00:37:54.200 in Economics

00:37:55.620 has been

00:37:56.220 awarded.

00:37:57.340 Oh,

00:37:57.760 stop it.

00:37:58.960 Stop it.

00:38:00.780 Let me say

00:38:01.400 it again and

00:38:02.000 don't say

00:38:03.280 what you

00:38:03.580 just said

00:38:04.000 again,

00:38:04.300 okay?

00:38:05.300 So the

00:38:05.820 Nobel Prize

00:38:06.480 in Economics

00:38:07.140 has been

00:38:07.560 awarded.

00:38:08.380 No,

00:38:09.060 stop it.

00:38:10.660 I know

00:38:10.980 what you're

00:38:11.240 saying.

00:38:13.360 Some of

00:38:14.000 you are

00:38:14.220 saying there's

00:38:14.940 no such

00:38:15.520 thing as

00:38:16.480 the Nobel

00:38:18.020 Prize in

00:38:18.580 Economics.

00:38:20.020 You

00:38:20.180 pedantic

00:38:21.180 mofos.

00:38:24.200 What you're

00:38:24.680 saying is

00:38:25.140 that really

00:38:25.660 what I mean

00:38:26.240 is the

00:38:27.040 Severa Regis

00:38:28.680 Ricks

00:38:29.180 Bank Prize

00:38:30.080 in

00:38:30.280 Economics

00:38:30.800 Sciences

00:38:31.340 in

00:38:31.660 memory

00:38:31.920 of

00:38:32.120 Alfred

00:38:32.440 Nobel.

00:38:33.320 That's

00:38:33.920 what it

00:38:34.240 is.

00:38:35.140 It's not

00:38:35.520 the

00:38:35.700 Nobel Prize.

00:38:36.880 You

00:38:37.000 fool.

00:38:38.160 You

00:38:38.360 fool.

00:38:39.540 Calling it

00:38:39.960 a Nobel

00:38:40.480 Prize in

00:38:41.100 Economics.

00:38:42.140 So dumb.

00:38:44.000 When it's

00:38:44.340 really this

00:38:44.820 Severa Regis

00:38:45.280 Ricks

00:38:45.740 Bank

00:38:45.980 Prize in

00:38:46.420 Economics

00:38:46.780 Sciences

00:38:47.080 in

00:38:47.340 memory

00:38:47.520 of

00:38:47.700 Alfred

00:38:47.920 Nobel.

00:38:49.560 Sometimes

00:38:50.160 informally

00:38:50.700 called the

00:38:51.100 Nobel

00:38:51.380 Memorial

00:38:51.820 Prize

00:38:52.120 in

00:38:52.260 Economic

00:38:52.600 Sciences

00:38:53.020 because you

00:38:53.740 have to

00:38:53.960 have that

00:38:54.240 memorial

00:38:54.620 part in

00:38:55.240 there

00:38:55.420 because there

00:38:55.980 might be

00:38:56.400 some people

00:38:56.940 who still

00:38:57.940 think Alfred

00:38:58.660 Nobel is

00:38:59.400 alive.

00:39:00.880 So you

00:39:01.080 gotta let

00:39:02.040 them know

00:39:02.300 he's gone.

00:39:02.940 So you

00:39:03.080 throw in

00:39:03.400 the memorial

00:39:03.840 part.

00:39:05.620 All right.

00:39:06.060 So this

00:39:06.560 is what

00:39:06.860 they won

00:39:07.300 the Nobel

00:39:08.840 Prize for

00:39:10.640 in economics.

00:39:11.840 I'm still

00:39:12.140 gonna call it

00:39:12.700 that.

00:39:14.320 They won

00:39:15.060 that for

00:39:15.460 saying that

00:39:15.880 you need

00:39:16.200 a control

00:39:16.840 group to

00:39:18.560 study

00:39:19.280 something.

00:39:22.600 What?

00:39:26.320 What?

00:39:28.120 Let me

00:39:28.720 give you

00:39:28.940 the example.

00:39:31.220 Apparently

00:39:31.740 before the

00:39:32.560 90s it

00:39:33.680 was common

00:39:34.220 to study

00:39:35.680 things by

00:39:36.200 saying okay

00:39:37.220 let's say

00:39:37.660 New York

00:39:38.080 City just

00:39:38.580 put in

00:39:38.980 a new

00:39:39.720 broken

00:39:40.900 windows or

00:39:42.060 stop and

00:39:42.800 frisk policy.

00:39:44.180 Whatever it

00:39:44.540 is.

00:39:45.040 And the

00:39:45.240 objective is

00:39:45.860 to lower

00:39:46.220 crime.

00:39:48.080 And so

00:39:48.300 they put

00:39:48.600 it in

00:39:48.740 the policy

00:39:49.160 and then

00:39:49.640 they measure

00:39:50.200 the amount

00:39:50.600 of crime

00:39:51.180 from the

00:39:52.220 time the

00:39:52.580 policy went

00:39:53.160 in until

00:39:53.980 they're

00:39:54.660 measuring it.

00:39:56.360 And these

00:39:56.920 two economists

00:39:57.480 said wait

00:39:58.000 a minute.

00:39:59.020 You can't

00:39:59.500 just measure

00:40:00.260 the change

00:40:01.120 because there

00:40:02.820 might be a

00:40:03.400 whole bunch

00:40:03.860 of other

00:40:04.200 things happening

00:40:04.800 such as

00:40:05.500 maybe crime

00:40:06.420 is just

00:40:06.740 going down

00:40:07.260 everywhere.

00:40:09.700 Right?

00:40:10.660 So they

00:40:11.200 said the

00:40:11.580 only way

00:40:12.020 to do

00:40:12.280 this is

00:40:13.540 to compare

00:40:14.260 a like

00:40:15.140 place that

00:40:16.340 didn't do

00:40:16.800 what you're

00:40:17.160 doing.

00:40:17.820 So you'd

00:40:18.100 have two

00:40:18.380 similar places

00:40:19.220 let's say

00:40:19.620 a county

00:40:20.060 here and

00:40:20.500 a county

00:40:20.820 here and

00:40:21.640 the counties

00:40:22.100 are very

00:40:22.500 similar in

00:40:23.560 the important

00:40:24.020 ways.

00:40:25.240 One of

00:40:25.720 them does

00:40:26.040 a change

00:40:26.560 one of

00:40:27.540 them does

00:40:27.840 not and

00:40:29.060 then you

00:40:29.400 see how

00:40:29.880 the difference

00:40:30.340 is later.

00:40:31.460 So one

00:40:31.800 acts as a

00:40:32.420 control group

00:40:33.180 for the

00:40:34.480 one that

00:40:34.760 makes the

00:40:35.060 change.

00:40:36.540 Now here's

00:40:37.260 the thing

00:40:37.660 people didn't

00:40:40.740 know that

00:40:41.100 in 1990?

00:40:43.140 What?

00:40:45.320 And

00:40:45.840 apparently

00:40:46.840 they didn't.

00:40:48.940 Apparently

00:40:49.440 they didn't.

00:40:50.160 It was

00:40:50.980 very common

00:40:51.780 to simply

00:40:53.260 measure that

00:40:54.220 something

00:40:54.620 changed and

00:40:55.400 call it a

00:40:55.860 day.

00:40:56.580 Even though

00:40:57.360 it's a

00:40:57.840 complex system

00:40:58.620 with all

00:40:58.980 kinds of

00:40:59.320 things changing

00:40:59.960 and crime

00:41:00.980 was falling

00:41:01.440 everywhere no

00:41:02.180 matter what

00:41:02.540 you were

00:41:02.760 doing.

00:41:03.760 It was

00:41:04.380 completely

00:41:04.940 useless

00:41:05.380 analysis

00:41:05.960 that was

00:41:07.260 popularly

00:41:08.240 being done.

00:41:10.020 Now I'm

00:41:11.100 not aware of

00:41:11.700 any time we

00:41:12.400 didn't know

00:41:12.780 to do that.

00:41:13.800 Are you?

00:41:14.160 Now I

00:41:15.660 have a

00:41:16.160 degree in

00:41:16.560 economics so

00:41:17.180 maybe I

00:41:17.460 was closer

00:41:18.360 to the

00:41:18.880 question but

00:41:20.140 I don't

00:41:20.460 remember any

00:41:20.980 time in

00:41:21.340 my life

00:41:21.960 that I

00:41:23.420 thought I

00:41:23.820 didn't need

00:41:24.160 a control

00:41:24.600 group.

00:41:27.340 They got a

00:41:28.400 Nobel Prize

00:41:28.960 for that?

00:41:30.380 For

00:41:30.780 duh?

00:41:34.060 Well not

00:41:35.320 only did

00:41:35.840 they get a

00:41:36.280 Nobel Prize

00:41:36.940 for duh

00:41:38.160 it's worse

00:41:39.700 than that.

00:41:41.120 They weren't

00:41:41.900 even right.

00:41:45.020 I should

00:41:45.760 have gotten

00:41:46.060 this Nobel

00:41:46.520 Prize.

00:41:47.380 Let me

00:41:47.700 just put

00:41:48.060 that out

00:41:48.380 there.

00:41:48.800 This

00:41:48.980 Nobel Prize

00:41:49.720 should have

00:41:50.080 gone to

00:41:50.400 me because

00:41:51.400 I have

00:41:52.880 improved on

00:41:53.740 their line

00:41:55.220 of thinking

00:41:55.640 and their

00:41:57.200 line of

00:41:57.520 thinking is

00:41:57.960 completely

00:41:58.480 obsolete and

00:42:00.400 here is how

00:42:01.340 I should get

00:42:01.900 the Nobel Prize

00:42:02.740 and it goes

00:42:03.200 like this.

00:42:05.460 You can't

00:42:06.360 compare two

00:42:06.980 complex systems.

00:42:09.940 You can't.

00:42:11.900 You can't

00:42:12.840 compare one

00:42:15.060 county to

00:42:15.800 another.

00:42:16.620 Do you know

00:42:16.960 why?

00:42:17.860 Because you

00:42:18.320 have no idea

00:42:19.020 what else is

00:42:19.820 different.

00:42:21.400 You're

00:42:21.920 guessing.

00:42:23.560 You're

00:42:24.120 guessing that

00:42:24.880 the things

00:42:25.300 that you

00:42:25.560 can see

00:42:26.220 are the

00:42:27.220 ones that

00:42:27.580 matter.

00:42:28.340 Oh wait

00:42:28.840 same number

00:42:30.300 of Democrats

00:42:30.960 to Republicans

00:42:31.680 in these two

00:42:32.360 places.

00:42:33.140 I guess we're

00:42:33.660 done.

00:42:34.940 Looks about

00:42:35.400 the same.

00:42:37.060 No.

00:42:38.140 What have I

00:42:38.660 been telling

00:42:39.080 you since the

00:42:39.680 pandemic began?

00:42:40.560 I told you

00:42:42.420 that every

00:42:43.120 comparison of

00:42:44.620 a country to

00:42:46.300 another country

00:42:47.320 would be

00:42:49.460 wrong.

00:42:50.720 No matter

00:42:51.560 how closely

00:42:52.340 you thought

00:42:52.800 the two

00:42:53.120 countries were

00:42:54.220 similar in

00:42:54.920 lots of other

00:42:55.540 ways, that

00:42:56.720 every comparison

00:42:57.780 of a country

00:42:58.600 to a country

00:42:59.380 would be

00:43:00.380 misleading.

00:43:02.300 Because there's

00:43:03.220 too much

00:43:03.660 different and

00:43:04.300 you'll never

00:43:04.660 know what.

00:43:05.780 So let's say

00:43:06.640 you're this

00:43:07.580 rational economist

00:43:08.500 and you

00:43:09.400 decide to

00:43:10.040 study, let's

00:43:11.600 say, what

00:43:11.940 Sweden did.

00:43:14.220 So you say

00:43:14.680 to yourself,

00:43:15.180 well I need

00:43:15.620 whatever's the

00:43:16.360 closest to a

00:43:17.180 Sweden.

00:43:18.580 Let's say

00:43:19.180 just for a

00:43:19.640 kick, so you

00:43:20.180 pick Norway.

00:43:21.900 Now forget

00:43:22.880 about whether

00:43:23.460 they're really

00:43:23.900 similar, right?

00:43:25.000 This is just

00:43:25.440 an example.

00:43:26.300 So you pick

00:43:26.640 Norway.

00:43:27.860 You say, okay,

00:43:28.720 on the things

00:43:29.480 that seem to

00:43:30.040 matter, Norway

00:43:31.500 and Sweden

00:43:32.300 look similar.

00:43:33.280 So we'll just

00:43:33.760 check the thing

00:43:34.720 that changed

00:43:35.320 and then

00:43:36.340 we'll know

00:43:36.660 something.

00:43:37.880 Do you see

00:43:38.440 what's wrong

00:43:38.820 with that?

00:43:40.440 How do you

00:43:41.100 know you

00:43:41.400 found all

00:43:41.820 the things

00:43:42.160 that mattered?

00:43:44.080 How could

00:43:44.660 you possibly

00:43:45.160 know that?

00:43:47.180 That's

00:43:47.580 completely

00:43:48.620 irrational.

00:43:50.840 It is

00:43:51.480 completely

00:43:52.220 irrational,

00:43:52.960 100%

00:43:53.600 irrational,

00:43:54.400 to say that

00:43:55.600 Norway is

00:43:57.300 enough the

00:43:58.240 same because

00:43:59.360 the few

00:43:59.820 things that

00:44:00.260 you looked

00:44:00.640 at in

00:44:01.020 Norway and

00:44:01.620 the few

00:44:01.900 things that

00:44:02.280 you looked

00:44:02.540 at in

00:44:02.780 Sweden,

00:44:03.440 they do

00:44:03.840 look about

00:44:04.240 the same.

00:44:05.320 You don't

00:44:05.820 know what

00:44:06.220 else is

00:44:06.600 going on.

00:44:07.940 You couldn't

00:44:08.760 know.

00:44:09.740 And there's

00:44:10.180 no way to

00:44:10.620 know that

00:44:10.940 what else

00:44:11.620 is going

00:44:12.000 on is

00:44:12.720 meaningful or

00:44:13.440 not meaningful.

00:44:14.580 It is

00:44:15.120 completely

00:44:15.740 unknowable.

00:44:17.720 That is why

00:44:18.360 I told you

00:44:19.020 that no

00:44:19.680 comparison of

00:44:21.200 country to

00:44:21.720 country will

00:44:22.440 ever turn out

00:44:23.220 to be a good

00:44:23.780 idea in the

00:44:24.440 long run.

00:44:24.980 Like we'll

00:44:25.340 figure out that

00:44:25.920 it didn't

00:44:26.220 work.

00:44:27.660 Have I been

00:44:28.140 right so

00:44:28.620 far?

00:44:30.760 Have I?

00:44:31.840 Have I been

00:44:32.640 right so far

00:44:33.560 that every

00:44:34.920 comparison of

00:44:36.000 one country

00:44:36.540 to another

00:44:37.160 only raised

00:44:38.760 more questions

00:44:39.520 and didn't

00:44:40.640 answer anything?

00:44:42.680 Am I

00:44:43.020 right?

00:44:43.860 Yes, I'm

00:44:44.820 frickin'

00:44:45.260 right.

00:44:46.120 And it

00:44:46.580 will never

00:44:47.100 be useful

00:44:47.680 because complex

00:44:48.760 systems can't

00:44:49.700 be compared.

00:44:50.740 You are only

00:44:51.320 guessing that

00:44:52.760 you have

00:44:53.100 controlled the

00:44:53.720 variables.

00:44:54.560 And guessing

00:44:55.080 is the

00:44:55.900 opposite of

00:44:56.680 fucking science.

00:44:59.780 Now, will

00:45:00.940 you give me

00:45:01.280 that one?

00:45:02.460 Will you give

00:45:02.860 me that F

00:45:03.320 word?

00:45:04.480 Anybody?

00:45:06.580 I think that

00:45:07.340 was an

00:45:07.620 appropriate use

00:45:08.240 of the F

00:45:08.600 word.

00:45:10.000 Not too

00:45:10.620 much.

00:45:12.280 Kind of

00:45:12.580 came as a

00:45:13.060 surprise.

00:45:14.340 Nice

00:45:14.540 seasoning.

00:45:14.880 I think that

00:45:16.240 was appropriate

00:45:16.700 use.

00:45:18.420 So, and by

00:45:19.600 the way, I'm

00:45:19.940 not kidding a

00:45:20.540 bit.

00:45:21.660 I'm not

00:45:22.340 kidding a

00:45:22.820 bit that the

00:45:24.260 Nobel Prize

00:45:24.840 should have

00:45:25.140 gone to me

00:45:25.720 because my

00:45:28.820 research, which

00:45:29.680 is just

00:45:30.060 watching the

00:45:30.560 news, is

00:45:31.800 superior to

00:45:33.520 their entire

00:45:34.240 Nobel Prize

00:45:35.260 winning work.

00:45:38.660 What else

00:45:39.360 have I done

00:45:39.760 to earn the

00:45:40.380 Nobel Prize?

00:45:41.120 Oh, plenty.

00:45:42.140 Plenty.

00:45:42.940 Do you know

00:45:43.420 that I created

00:45:44.100 the word

00:45:45.680 Confusopoly?

00:45:47.260 How many

00:45:47.660 people know

00:45:48.240 that?

00:45:49.640 You can

00:45:50.360 Google it.

00:45:50.900 It's on

00:45:51.580 Wikipedia now

00:45:52.420 and it's a

00:45:53.800 standard economic

00:45:55.120 go-to phrase.

00:45:57.240 I actually

00:45:58.660 created an

00:46:01.100 economic

00:46:01.620 theory that's

00:46:02.260 part of the

00:46:03.000 literature now.

00:46:04.440 Now, the

00:46:04.740 Confusopoly idea

00:46:06.220 goes like this.

00:46:07.680 In the old

00:46:08.480 days, we used

00:46:09.060 to say that

00:46:10.120 if two

00:46:10.640 industries were

00:46:11.420 competing and

00:46:12.360 they had

00:46:12.600 similar products,

00:46:14.080 that they

00:46:14.980 would end up

00:46:15.500 having to

00:46:16.040 compete on

00:46:16.620 price.

00:46:18.180 And that

00:46:18.720 eventually, since

00:46:19.680 the only thing

00:46:20.200 they could

00:46:20.520 compete on

00:46:21.040 was price,

00:46:21.860 otherwise the

00:46:22.440 product is the

00:46:23.100 same, that

00:46:24.160 it would drive

00:46:24.700 the profit down

00:46:25.560 to nothing and

00:46:27.080 eventually those

00:46:27.860 companies would

00:46:28.640 go out of

00:46:29.520 business because

00:46:30.560 they couldn't

00:46:30.860 make profits,

00:46:32.180 everybody else

00:46:32.740 would compete

00:46:33.280 with them with

00:46:33.740 the same

00:46:34.020 products.

00:46:35.320 Did that

00:46:35.760 happen?

00:46:36.780 No.

00:46:38.020 So the

00:46:38.700 most basic

00:46:39.840 economic belief

00:46:41.020 doesn't happen.

00:46:44.280 And the

00:46:44.940 explanation for

00:46:45.760 that is the

00:46:47.040 Confusopoly,

00:46:48.580 my economic

00:46:49.680 theory, which

00:46:50.980 is that every

00:46:51.660 industry that

00:46:52.320 knows it would

00:46:52.880 go out of

00:46:53.280 business if it

00:46:54.020 competed on

00:46:54.840 price,

00:46:55.560 makes their

00:46:56.840 product intentionally

00:46:58.860 confusing so

00:47:01.620 that you can't

00:47:02.380 compare them.

00:47:04.840 Take insurance.

00:47:06.880 Can you compare

00:47:07.680 two insurance

00:47:08.680 policies?

00:47:09.880 No.

00:47:10.820 It's too

00:47:11.560 hard.

00:47:12.380 Can you really

00:47:13.160 tell if you

00:47:13.760 got the right

00:47:14.180 cell phone

00:47:14.800 plan?

00:47:16.500 Not so much.

00:47:17.980 No.

00:47:18.700 So look for

00:47:19.300 this all over

00:47:19.940 the place.

00:47:20.500 Wherever,

00:47:21.260 yeah,

00:47:21.640 mattresses,

00:47:22.260 everything,

00:47:23.020 wherever there

00:47:23.940 are products

00:47:24.440 that should be

00:47:25.300 competing purely

00:47:26.200 on price,

00:47:27.560 the company

00:47:28.020 has complicated

00:47:29.480 them unnecessarily

00:47:30.760 to the point

00:47:31.540 you can't

00:47:31.960 tell.

00:47:32.920 You can't

00:47:33.480 tell if one

00:47:34.080 is better

00:47:34.380 than the

00:47:34.620 other.

00:47:35.580 I would say

00:47:37.400 that's a

00:47:37.780 valuable

00:47:38.080 contribution to

00:47:38.920 the field

00:47:39.280 because it

00:47:40.240 predicts.

00:47:41.260 It predicts

00:47:42.480 what will

00:47:43.380 happen with

00:47:43.820 the industry

00:47:44.260 and it

00:47:44.580 predicts it

00:47:44.980 right every

00:47:45.360 time.

00:47:45.620 If your

00:47:47.300 theory predicts,

00:47:48.620 it's a good

00:47:49.580 one.

00:47:51.200 It seems like

00:47:52.080 a pretty good

00:47:52.480 one to

00:47:52.700 me.

00:47:53.680 I have

00:47:54.240 also added

00:47:54.780 the Adams

00:47:56.360 Law of

00:47:56.920 Slow-Moving

00:47:57.460 Disasters,

00:47:58.440 somewhat

00:47:58.840 economic in

00:47:59.580 nature,

00:48:00.440 meaning that

00:48:00.940 if we have

00:48:01.860 enough time,

00:48:02.380 we basically

00:48:02.900 fix every

00:48:03.540 problem.

00:48:04.920 I think

00:48:05.260 that's a

00:48:05.620 valuable

00:48:05.900 contribution

00:48:06.500 because it

00:48:08.520 predicts.

00:48:10.040 If you

00:48:10.660 can do

00:48:11.000 an economic

00:48:11.700 idea that

00:48:13.000 predicts,

00:48:14.200 you've

00:48:14.540 beaten just

00:48:15.000 about everybody

00:48:15.660 in economics

00:48:16.320 because you

00:48:17.240 know what

00:48:17.520 economics

00:48:17.980 doesn't do

00:48:18.520 very well?

00:48:20.100 Predict.

00:48:20.820 It doesn't

00:48:21.380 do that

00:48:21.700 very well.

00:48:22.340 I mean,

00:48:22.520 it gets

00:48:22.680 to the

00:48:22.860 basic

00:48:23.100 stuff,

00:48:23.920 but it

00:48:24.580 can't tell

00:48:24.960 you where

00:48:25.200 the economy

00:48:25.660 is going

00:48:25.960 to be

00:48:26.100 next year.

00:48:28.020 How about

00:48:28.620 my entire

00:48:29.120 Dilbert body

00:48:30.000 of work,

00:48:31.420 in which

00:48:31.940 I've

00:48:32.280 completely

00:48:32.760 decimated

00:48:33.440 the management

00:48:35.000 consulting

00:48:35.620 industry and

00:48:36.540 effectively

00:48:37.060 eliminated

00:48:38.140 them by

00:48:38.640 mocking them

00:48:39.260 out of

00:48:39.520 existence?

00:48:40.860 I feel

00:48:41.280 like that

00:48:41.580 was a

00:48:41.880 valuable

00:48:42.160 economic

00:48:42.720 contribution.

00:48:44.560 How about

00:48:45.240 the idea

00:48:45.760 that I

00:48:46.180 developed

00:48:46.680 on talent

00:48:47.780 stacks?

00:48:49.360 The idea

00:48:49.840 that you

00:48:50.180 can get

00:48:50.500 the best

00:48:50.980 economic

00:48:51.880 gain by

00:48:53.760 combining

00:48:54.380 non-special

00:48:55.960 traits in

00:48:57.020 a useful

00:48:57.940 way.

00:48:58.880 Not

00:48:59.120 traits,

00:48:59.520 but skills.

00:49:00.880 So that

00:49:01.660 was new.

00:49:03.340 How many

00:49:04.660 of your

00:49:04.980 lives were

00:49:05.600 changed by

00:49:06.240 just hearing

00:49:07.260 the talent

00:49:07.880 stack idea

00:49:08.660 or the

00:49:09.100 systems over

00:49:09.760 goals?

00:49:11.300 Those are

00:49:11.680 economic

00:49:12.140 theories.

00:49:16.620 And quite

00:49:17.420 honestly,

00:49:18.000 if you tell

00:49:18.400 me I haven't

00:49:18.960 contributed more

00:49:19.720 to economics

00:49:20.360 than the

00:49:20.840 guys who

00:49:21.160 just won

00:49:21.520 the Nobel

00:49:21.920 Prize in

00:49:22.480 economics,

00:49:23.400 I don't

00:49:24.160 believe you.

00:49:25.980 Literally.

00:49:27.020 And that's

00:49:27.440 not even a

00:49:27.820 joke.

00:49:28.320 I think I've

00:49:28.840 actually

00:49:29.080 contributed

00:49:29.520 more.

00:49:30.300 Now, I

00:49:30.660 don't think I

00:49:31.120 really deserve

00:49:31.700 a Nobel

00:49:32.160 Prize, right?

00:49:32.840 Because they

00:49:33.200 need to do

00:49:33.580 the math

00:49:34.020 and do

00:49:34.340 the papers

00:49:34.760 and do

00:49:35.980 the other

00:49:36.280 stuff, and

00:49:36.680 I haven't

00:49:36.900 done any

00:49:37.160 of that.

00:49:37.660 But I

00:49:39.600 have contributed

00:49:40.160 more than

00:49:40.940 most of the

00:49:41.320 winners.

00:49:43.380 Remember I

00:49:44.080 mentioned the

00:49:44.800 idea of

00:49:45.540 special

00:49:46.960 economic

00:49:47.540 zones for

00:49:48.460 immigrants.

00:49:50.540 And I

00:49:50.920 said, hey,

00:49:51.680 why don't we

00:49:52.060 have a place

00:49:53.340 where the

00:49:53.940 immigrants can

00:49:54.640 come in and

00:49:55.520 they would

00:49:55.800 just maybe

00:49:56.420 work for

00:49:57.000 less than

00:49:57.540 minimum wage,

00:49:58.360 but it's a

00:49:58.740 special zone,

00:50:00.360 but they

00:50:00.880 would be

00:50:01.140 treated nicely,

00:50:02.040 they wouldn't

00:50:02.320 be treated as

00:50:02.940 slaves, and

00:50:03.700 they'd have

00:50:04.000 maybe some

00:50:04.600 path to

00:50:05.340 something.

00:50:06.860 Don't give

00:50:07.400 them the

00:50:07.700 same rules as

00:50:09.580 the rest of

00:50:09.980 the country,

00:50:10.600 but give

00:50:10.940 them some

00:50:11.360 opportunity.

00:50:11.780 And a

00:50:13.380 lot of

00:50:13.580 you said,

00:50:14.000 no, bad

00:50:14.600 idea, bad

00:50:15.060 idea.

00:50:16.140 Turns out

00:50:16.580 they exist.

00:50:18.360 They exist.

00:50:19.880 There are

00:50:20.280 other places

00:50:20.900 in the world

00:50:21.440 where this

00:50:21.980 exact idea

00:50:22.860 is being

00:50:23.200 used successfully.

00:50:25.000 There will

00:50:25.580 be more on

00:50:26.160 this coming

00:50:26.580 up.

00:50:28.320 There's going

00:50:28.880 to be a

00:50:29.600 lot more on

00:50:30.120 this topic,

00:50:30.900 which I've

00:50:31.320 been introduced

00:50:32.020 to, I got a

00:50:33.000 preview.

00:50:34.020 So there's

00:50:34.840 more on this

00:50:35.480 topic, and it

00:50:36.100 could be a

00:50:36.520 big, big

00:50:36.960 deal.

00:50:37.720 It might

00:50:38.000 turn out that

00:50:38.600 there's a

00:50:39.020 solution to

00:50:40.040 immigration,

00:50:40.680 that doesn't

00:50:42.500 involve closing

00:50:43.280 the border, and

00:50:44.900 makes everybody

00:50:45.500 happier.

00:50:47.080 How cool is

00:50:47.960 that?

00:50:49.120 Now, yeah, you

00:50:50.040 can turn

00:50:50.600 everything into

00:50:51.220 a work camp,

00:50:52.200 and you can

00:50:52.780 turn it into

00:50:53.560 ghettos and

00:50:54.160 Uyghurs, but

00:50:55.240 obviously there's

00:50:56.120 a good way to

00:50:56.700 do things in a

00:50:57.340 bad way.

00:50:58.880 There's a good

00:50:59.560 way, and

00:50:59.900 there's a bad

00:51:00.340 way.

00:51:01.900 Don't assume

00:51:02.600 it's the bad

00:51:03.020 way.

00:51:03.740 Well, breaking

00:51:04.200 news, Merck is

00:51:05.960 asking for FDA

00:51:06.960 emergency use for

00:51:07.940 their pill for

00:51:09.000 COVID.

00:51:09.300 So if you've

00:51:10.540 got mild to

00:51:11.200 moderate symptoms,

00:51:12.040 you pop one of

00:51:12.640 these pills, a

00:51:13.440 monopiravir, and

00:51:17.420 it stops the

00:51:18.100 virus from making

00:51:19.820 copies of

00:51:20.380 itself.

00:51:21.700 Now, apparently

00:51:22.220 it reduces your

00:51:22.980 risk of a

00:51:24.280 serious event by

00:51:25.580 half.

00:51:28.440 That's pretty

00:51:29.100 good.

00:51:30.380 To which I ask

00:51:31.480 this question.

00:51:32.720 How many times

00:51:33.540 have we reduced

00:51:34.320 the risk by

00:51:35.040 half?

00:51:35.380 And how

00:51:36.980 many times do

00:51:37.560 we have to

00:51:38.060 reduce the

00:51:38.580 risk by half

00:51:39.320 before there's

00:51:40.520 not enough

00:51:40.940 risk to

00:51:42.760 change society

00:51:43.840 the way it's

00:51:44.240 been changed?

00:51:46.000 Like, aren't

00:51:47.780 we there?

00:51:48.640 Because it

00:51:49.140 seems to me

00:51:49.580 that adding

00:51:49.980 the monoclonals

00:51:51.080 dropped the

00:51:52.960 risk of dying,

00:51:54.160 taking people

00:51:54.840 off of

00:51:55.200 ventilators dropped

00:51:56.260 the risk, and

00:51:57.000 knowing how to

00:51:57.740 do that

00:51:58.080 ventilation thing

00:51:58.960 better.

00:52:02.840 Whoops.

00:52:03.280 So, anyway.

00:52:12.260 I'm just

00:52:12.780 putting that

00:52:13.120 out there.

00:52:13.480 How many

00:52:13.720 times do we

00:52:14.120 have to drop

00:52:14.860 it?

00:52:15.040 All right,

00:52:15.280 here's my

00:52:15.640 idea that I

00:52:16.300 tweeted out.

00:52:17.240 I built a

00:52:18.300 fake news

00:52:19.200 identifier.

00:52:20.820 This is just

00:52:21.500 a spreadsheet,

00:52:23.880 and I tweeted

00:52:24.800 the link just

00:52:25.900 before I got on

00:52:26.680 here, and

00:52:27.560 here's what it

00:52:28.080 is.

00:52:28.300 It's just a

00:52:28.680 spreadsheet.

00:52:29.300 It has a

00:52:29.660 bunch of

00:52:29.940 questions, and

00:52:30.620 you just answer

00:52:31.300 them.

00:52:32.140 Here I've

00:52:32.720 put, in

00:52:33.060 this column,

00:52:34.200 and I'll

00:52:34.500 tell you what

00:52:34.820 the questions

00:52:35.180 are in a

00:52:35.440 moment, in

00:52:36.000 this column I

00:52:36.540 put my

00:52:37.080 weights.

00:52:38.060 This is me

00:52:38.600 personally saying

00:52:39.960 how much you

00:52:40.560 should weight

00:52:41.200 each of these

00:52:42.080 factors.

00:52:42.880 That's my

00:52:43.380 opinion, based

00:52:44.600 on living.

00:52:46.780 Other people

00:52:47.440 could put their

00:52:48.060 filter here.

00:52:49.360 So, for

00:52:49.660 example, you

00:52:50.260 might say, oh,

00:52:51.060 I identify fake

00:52:52.180 news differently.

00:52:53.340 Here's the

00:52:53.800 question I ask, or

00:52:54.900 here's the weight

00:52:55.540 I would put on

00:52:56.180 this.

00:52:56.880 So you might

00:52:57.320 have other

00:52:57.780 people's filters

00:52:58.580 too.

00:52:59.660 But you

00:53:00.100 would be able

00:53:00.560 to use my

00:53:01.120 filter, my

00:53:02.100 weights that I

00:53:02.860 put on things,

00:53:03.540 and my

00:53:03.980 questions, to

00:53:05.400 decide if

00:53:05.860 something is

00:53:06.340 fake news.

00:53:07.320 So let me

00:53:08.060 read the

00:53:08.360 questions, and

00:53:09.060 then for your

00:53:09.840 specific project,

00:53:11.320 you would say,

00:53:11.740 okay, that one

00:53:12.460 doesn't apply, it

00:53:13.120 doesn't apply.

00:53:13.540 Oh, but that

00:53:13.880 one does.

00:53:15.120 And let me, I

00:53:15.980 know you can't

00:53:16.420 see it.

00:53:16.940 So here's the

00:53:17.900 first question.

00:53:18.940 Is the source

00:53:19.580 anonymous?

00:53:20.260 Now, my

00:53:21.220 weights are on a

00:53:22.100 one to ten.

00:53:23.180 I give that a

00:53:23.840 nine.

00:53:24.860 If your source is

00:53:25.840 anonymous, that's a

00:53:26.820 nine and a ten for

00:53:27.800 likely fake news.

00:53:28.780 Is the source a

00:53:30.400 disgruntled current

00:53:31.580 or ex-employee?

00:53:32.480 I'd give that a

00:53:32.980 five.

00:53:34.040 Sometimes the

00:53:34.740 ex-employees are

00:53:35.480 right, sometimes

00:53:36.460 they're just

00:53:36.920 disgruntled.

00:53:37.940 I'd give it a

00:53:38.380 five.

00:53:39.760 Is only one of

00:53:40.940 either CNN or

00:53:41.820 Fox News confirming

00:53:42.900 that it's true?

00:53:44.580 That's a nine.

00:53:45.840 If only one of

00:53:46.580 them says it's

00:53:47.120 even true, that's

00:53:49.020 a nine.

00:53:50.640 Is it too on

00:53:51.560 the nose to be

00:53:52.240 perfect?

00:53:52.760 You know, the

00:53:53.220 story is just too

00:53:53.960 close to the

00:53:54.580 narrative?

00:53:55.380 It's exactly what

00:53:56.460 Republicans expect?

00:53:57.560 Or exactly what

00:53:59.920 the Democrats

00:54:00.400 expect?

00:54:02.060 Probably not.

00:54:03.680 So I gave that

00:54:04.540 one a seven.

00:54:06.300 Is it still in the

00:54:06.980 fog of war phase?

00:54:08.480 In other words, do

00:54:09.240 you know things are

00:54:09.880 going to be

00:54:10.100 changing?

00:54:10.560 I give that an

00:54:11.060 eight.

00:54:11.840 Is it too man

00:54:13.240 bites dog, meaning

00:54:14.480 that the story

00:54:15.140 itself is too

00:54:15.740 unbelievable?

00:54:16.920 Like, wow, could

00:54:17.800 that happen?

00:54:18.640 That's so

00:54:19.080 surprising.

00:54:20.200 If you hear a

00:54:20.780 story like that,

00:54:21.420 it's probably not

00:54:22.040 true.

00:54:22.960 That's like an

00:54:23.400 eight.

00:54:23.640 Is it only covered

00:54:25.160 by secondary news

00:54:26.320 sources?

00:54:26.800 I didn't define

00:54:27.380 that, but I

00:54:28.300 would call that

00:54:29.060 anything that's

00:54:29.620 not a national

00:54:31.240 platform.

00:54:32.420 You know, one of

00:54:32.800 the blog-like news

00:54:34.540 sites that often

00:54:35.660 get tweeted.

00:54:37.340 If they're the

00:54:38.100 only ones covering

00:54:38.880 it and it hasn't

00:54:39.680 made it to, you

00:54:40.560 know, New York

00:54:41.200 Times, Washington

00:54:41.940 Post, CNN,

00:54:43.580 probably not

00:54:44.060 true.

00:54:44.720 Probably not

00:54:45.120 true.

00:54:46.360 And does the

00:54:47.160 journals have a

00:54:47.840 grudge against the

00:54:48.560 subject?

00:54:49.040 I give that a

00:54:49.580 five, because

00:54:50.240 sometimes the

00:54:51.260 grudge is a

00:54:52.580 reasonable grudge.

00:54:53.720 They have a grudge

00:54:54.300 for a good reason.

00:54:54.900 So, this is

00:54:57.000 not complete.

00:54:57.760 It's a first

00:54:58.220 draft.

00:54:58.900 It's simply a

00:54:59.700 way for people

00:55:01.360 who are not as,

00:55:02.700 let's say,

00:55:03.880 experienced in

00:55:05.900 determining fake

00:55:06.620 news.

00:55:06.860 It's a way for

00:55:07.440 them to at least

00:55:08.720 get close to it.

00:55:09.920 Now, this is on a

00:55:11.140 link to a Google

00:55:11.980 Sheets, so I think

00:55:13.040 you can all see it.

00:55:14.480 I haven't used

00:55:15.020 Google Sheets

00:55:15.520 before.

00:55:16.880 So, I don't

00:55:19.640 know if that is a

00:55:20.940 step in the right

00:55:21.340 direction.

00:55:21.600 But, I put it

00:55:22.600 out there just

00:55:23.120 to, you know,

00:55:24.480 deepen the

00:55:25.060 conversation.

00:55:26.100 I have to run

00:55:26.680 right now, so I

00:55:27.320 can't stay around,

00:55:28.000 even for locals.

00:55:29.140 But, thank you

00:55:29.820 for coming.

00:55:30.620 I think you'll

00:55:31.220 agree, it's the

00:55:31.880 very best thing

00:55:32.620 you've ever seen.

00:55:36.240 The only one

00:55:37.180 of CNN

00:55:37.560 would claim

00:55:38.600 Hunter Biden

00:55:39.040 laptop

00:55:39.380 is false.

00:55:40.520 No.

00:55:41.140 CNN more

00:55:41.740 just doesn't

00:55:42.780 cover it.

00:55:43.940 That's different.

00:55:45.180 CNN did not

00:55:46.060 say the laptop

00:55:47.140 is fake as

00:55:48.220 of now.

00:55:49.320 I mean,

00:55:49.620 originally they

00:55:50.280 did.

00:55:50.540 That was the

00:55:50.960 fog of war.

00:55:51.600 But, at the

00:55:52.720 moment, they

00:55:53.300 both say it's

00:55:54.760 true.

00:55:55.820 All right.

00:55:56.360 Bye for now.
