Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1604 Scott Adams： Let's Talk About All the Dumb People and Have Some Laughs

00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the best thing that's ever happened.

00:00:04.420 Better than Christmas? Yeah, yeah.

00:00:07.680 And Christmas was pretty good for a lot of you.

00:00:10.540 Not for everybody.

00:00:14.200 That's funnier to the people who saw me a minute ago on Locals.

00:00:19.400 I always give the Locals people a little extra time. 0.98

00:00:22.460 So they always have a little more backstory than you do on YouTube.

00:00:25.340 But anyway, if you'd like to take your peak experience up to a new level,

00:00:30.200 and I think you do.

00:00:32.100 Yeah, I think you do.

00:00:33.180 All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein,

00:00:35.920 a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

00:00:39.840 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:44.420 I like coffee.

00:00:46.540 And join me now.

00:00:48.000 I'm trying to ignore a meme that's playing on the Locals platform

00:00:51.960 because they can plug memes into their comments.

00:00:55.440 I'm trying not to see that Santa Claus.

00:00:57.500 But it is funny.

00:01:00.880 Anyway, join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:01:05.660 The dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:01:08.100 It's called the Simultaneous Sip, and it happens now.

00:01:10.080 Go! 0.95

00:01:10.220 Jack, you finally made it for the live sip.

00:01:17.520 It's about damn time.

00:01:19.920 Everybody say hi to Jack Posobiec over on YouTube.

00:01:23.340 Jack, you saved me yesterday.

00:01:28.820 I was in the middle of a pitched troll battle.

00:01:34.720 And Jack sent me some information, Jack Posobiec,

00:01:38.720 sent me some information that helped me in my struggle.

00:01:43.540 So we'll talk about that in a minute.

00:01:47.800 So you're all following, I know, the story of the dad who said,

00:01:52.900 let's go, Brandon, on the phone call to Biden, right?

00:01:56.440 Everybody knows that story.

00:01:57.520 I don't have to give any more background on it.

00:01:59.140 And now the man who said it, Jared Schmeck, which is just the best name.

00:02:06.760 If there had to be somebody in this story, you know,

00:02:10.580 who's basically just an ordinary guy.

00:02:13.740 So it's a story about an ordinary guy doing something that made national attention.

00:02:18.220 And if you're going to do a story about an ordinary guy,

00:02:21.120 his name should be Jared Schmeck.

00:02:23.000 That's the most ordinary guy name I've ever heard.

00:02:29.760 Anyway, he said that although he believes Biden could be doing a better job,

00:02:35.780 he did not intend any disrespect.

00:02:41.280 He did not intend any disrespect.

00:02:44.600 Have we reached a point where it doesn't matter what you see with your own eyes,

00:02:51.260 people could just say anything.

00:02:53.980 No, I'm not sitting here talking to you right now.

00:02:57.520 I know it seems like it, but I'm not.

00:03:01.140 I know, I know.

00:03:02.860 You hear me, you see me.

00:03:04.900 It's a live stream.

00:03:06.320 You would naturally think that I'm here talking to you.

00:03:08.880 But no, I'm actually elsewhere.

00:03:11.860 You can just, you can literally say anything now.

00:03:15.320 There is no limitation to what you can say in public with a straight face.

00:03:21.260 Yeah, I'm actually a lizard man from the planet Kalapakabaka.

00:03:26.900 Sure.

00:03:28.480 Can't prove it isn't true.

00:03:31.160 So yes, he actually said,

00:03:34.520 F you, Joe Biden, in the clever, let's go Brandon way,

00:03:40.600 on a phone call that was publicized,

00:03:42.860 and I didn't intend any disrespect.

00:03:44.820 There was no disrespect intended there at all.

00:03:52.360 Well, as other people have noted,

00:03:54.980 this is the least important story in the world,

00:03:57.200 but there's not much else going on.

00:03:59.160 So we might as well talk about this.

00:04:02.860 I don't think there's any importance to this story whatsoever.

00:04:05.920 It was a prank.

00:04:07.160 It would be, to me, it would be boring if other people did it in the future.

00:04:10.860 The fact that one guy did it once in this rather clever way,

00:04:16.480 that's a good story.

00:04:18.800 It doesn't mean anything, you know,

00:04:20.580 and it was disrespectful, but, you know,

00:04:24.260 in a funny way it was disrespectful, but it was disrespectful.

00:04:29.000 Anyway, there's nothing to say about it.

00:04:30.940 So there's, you've heard about these 3D printed homes

00:04:34.900 where they bring in a big 3D printer that's got a big arm,

00:04:38.440 and the arm will go around and print you up a home.

00:04:41.880 Apparently you can make a home in 12 hours

00:04:44.300 compared to months for construction.

00:04:47.880 And now there's a 1,200-square-foot home

00:04:50.120 that was just built, two full baths,

00:04:53.640 and it was built from concrete with a 3D printer.

00:04:56.660 And it's a Habitat for Humanity home.

00:05:00.260 I think it's the first one that they've done with 3D printing.

00:05:02.860 Now, I guess they 3D print it,

00:05:04.320 but then they, you know, they have to run in and add a few things.

00:05:07.060 But I'm not so sure that this is a story about 3D printing.

00:05:14.520 Because the 3D printing is really a simplifier, right?

00:05:18.300 What it does is simplify.

00:05:20.220 But what happens when you want to change a wall?

00:05:24.540 How do you do that when it's concrete?

00:05:27.080 Can you do that?

00:05:27.740 Chuck Haney over on YouTube is yelling at me in caps.

00:05:38.380 There is a lot to say about that phone call.

00:05:41.460 That's how you pronounce caps.

00:05:43.480 Either they keep Biden in the dark,

00:05:45.140 or his memory is really bad.

00:05:47.040 Stop shilling, Scott!

00:05:48.860 Stop shilling! 0.98

00:05:50.200 So now there's somebody on YouTube

00:05:51.460 who thinks I'm shilling for Biden.

00:05:53.100 Really?

00:05:56.740 Does anybody else think that?

00:06:02.820 And Chuck says, in all caps,

00:06:05.320 You saw it, didn't you?

00:06:07.060 Question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark, question mark.

00:06:10.440 Yes, Chuck, I saw it.

00:06:12.700 Is it news that President Biden

00:06:15.200 sometimes says confusing things in public?

00:06:18.620 Is that what I missed?

00:06:20.260 Brand new?

00:06:20.800 It's like the first time we've been exposed to this concept

00:06:24.600 that the President sometimes will be confused in public?

00:06:28.940 Is that why you're shouting at me, Chuck, in all caps?

00:06:34.360 Mike Zervich.

00:06:36.420 Wake up, bro.

00:06:40.260 All right.

00:06:41.180 Yes, we all know,

00:06:42.440 I think everybody knows that Biden is a bit degraded.

00:06:46.260 I'm not sure that that's a real story.

00:06:47.720 Anyway, these 3D printed houses.

00:06:52.600 Here's what houses should be.

00:06:55.060 Are you ready for this?

00:06:56.480 All of your parts should be one square foot

00:06:59.120 or something that is divisible,

00:07:01.700 you know, evenly into one foot components.

00:07:05.380 Why?

00:07:06.700 Because, because if you could build a house

00:07:10.040 without having to cut anything,

00:07:12.240 you could probably build it in 12 hours.

00:07:14.000 Don't you think you could build a house in 12 hours

00:07:17.980 if you didn't have to cut anything?

00:07:21.020 You just snapped it together?

00:07:22.840 The reason that modern homes are so expensive

00:07:25.760 is that everything's made,

00:07:27.880 like, even when they're building a bunch of models,

00:07:30.840 each model still requires a lot of cutting

00:07:32.920 for no particular reason.

00:07:36.220 I don't know, to make work for carpenters or something.

00:07:38.620 If you just shipped the components the size that they ought to be

00:07:42.760 in one square, you know, that are one square foot,

00:07:45.900 you want to build a wall?

00:07:47.680 Put up one square foot tiles

00:07:49.340 until you've got a wall that's exactly 9 or 10 feet tall.

00:07:54.500 So you shouldn't ever have to cut anything.

00:07:57.100 And you also shouldn't have to worry about your building codes

00:07:59.680 if you build, you know, to a kit specification.

00:08:03.320 So I think the real story here is that if you make homes

00:08:07.520 that can be built quickly,

00:08:09.800 then you will build them quickly.

00:08:12.660 If you make them so that they can't be built quickly,

00:08:15.400 meaning you have to cut every piece of wood,

00:08:17.880 and you've got to...

00:08:18.960 Also, anything that requires you to add a liquid,

00:08:22.380 such as a concrete,

00:08:24.540 you're already harder than it needs to be.

00:08:27.660 Anyway.

00:08:27.980 So I think homes will be customized and turned into kits

00:08:33.560 that people can make their own home

00:08:36.240 in 12 hours without a 3D printer.

00:08:38.840 It'll be much more flexible

00:08:40.040 because then you can unassemble it

00:08:42.440 and move a wall if you need to

00:08:43.740 because it's just a kit.

00:08:46.040 Someday.

00:08:47.880 Do this.

00:08:48.880 Here's an experiment.

00:08:49.820 Click on the first story about COVID you see.

00:08:52.980 Just do a search engine,

00:08:54.640 doesn't matter which search engine,

00:08:55.760 and search for COVID.

00:08:58.780 And then look at the stories

00:09:00.340 that come up on the front page.

00:09:02.300 And then read them

00:09:03.400 and see if they mention death rates.

00:09:07.540 They don't.

00:09:09.740 The stories about COVID

00:09:11.360 completely ignore death rates now.

00:09:13.660 They might mention them

00:09:14.680 like they're going up or down,

00:09:16.040 but they don't report it anymore.

00:09:18.460 What was the current death rate per day

00:09:21.680 of COVID deaths in the United States yesterday?

00:09:25.760 Used to be on the,

00:09:29.400 right on CNN's page there all the time, right?

00:09:37.740 Yeah.

00:09:38.920 So here's the related story.

00:09:41.940 Apparently South Africa has dropped quarantine

00:09:44.480 for people who have tested positive.

00:09:48.500 I need to say that again

00:09:50.180 because that's such a big statement

00:09:52.120 that you're going to think you misheard it.

00:09:56.220 South Africa,

00:09:57.260 which has already gone through its Omicron wave,

00:10:00.940 South Africa

00:10:01.680 just officially

00:10:03.700 dropped quarantines

00:10:06.340 for people who even test positive.

00:10:10.300 You can go to work

00:10:11.800 tested positive in South Africa.

00:10:14.860 It's over.

00:10:18.040 It's over.

00:10:19.620 In South Africa.

00:10:21.420 And, you know,

00:10:22.000 we're probably three weeks away

00:10:23.740 from being at a place

00:10:24.840 where we can make that decision.

00:10:26.780 What would three weeks put us?

00:10:29.320 Pretty close to February 1st.

00:10:31.820 February 1st is actually,

00:10:33.400 I don't know if you realize

00:10:34.680 that that's a well-chosen date,

00:10:36.960 as in Feb 1,

00:10:38.120 the public is done.

00:10:39.520 Done with the limitations

00:10:41.660 and the quarantines and stuff.

00:10:43.700 And I feel like that date

00:10:46.160 is well-chosen, don't you?

00:10:48.120 And I feel like we could be helpful,

00:10:51.020 we the public.

00:10:52.140 I believe that we could be helpful

00:10:54.160 in helping our government

00:10:56.120 just focus on a time specific.

00:11:00.220 Because if you don't focus

00:11:01.580 on a time specific,

00:11:02.760 you just don't ever do anything.

00:11:05.020 It's the most well-known management concept

00:11:08.560 is if you don't have

00:11:10.100 a specific direction

00:11:11.260 that everybody knows,

00:11:12.400 you're not going to go there.

00:11:14.580 Everybody has to know

00:11:15.500 where you're going

00:11:16.060 or you don't get there.

00:11:17.740 So if we're not picking a date

00:11:19.780 and trying to manage to it,

00:11:22.140 now it's okay if you change the date,

00:11:24.440 if you have reasons.

00:11:26.120 Then you just change to a new date,

00:11:27.560 but then you're always managing to a date.

00:11:29.960 You know, the government's

00:11:31.060 a terrible tool for this stuff

00:11:32.780 because if they get embarrassed once,

00:11:34.700 they can't do it that way again.

00:11:36.600 So if the government

00:11:37.320 ever picks a date for anything,

00:11:39.240 you know, like two weeks

00:11:40.200 to slow the spread,

00:11:41.340 and they become embarrassed by it,

00:11:44.000 they can't do it again.

00:11:45.780 But a corporation

00:11:46.720 is just going to do what made sense.

00:11:49.000 Right?

00:11:49.180 They're not going to worry

00:11:49.840 that it was embarrassing last time.

00:11:51.580 It either makes sense

00:11:53.080 or it doesn't.

00:11:53.800 Right?

00:11:54.420 So in a corporation,

00:11:55.420 it would get done.

00:11:59.660 All right.

00:12:00.820 So sort of a weird

00:12:02.120 low news day here today,

00:12:03.700 so we'll talk about

00:12:04.340 a few things that...

00:12:06.220 So South Africa

00:12:07.000 is not doing quarantines,

00:12:08.920 not doing contact tracing,

00:12:11.420 and they're not even doing

00:12:12.780 COVID tests

00:12:14.560 for asymptomatic people.

00:12:16.180 Why?

00:12:17.160 In other words,

00:12:17.960 if you don't have

00:12:18.640 obvious symptoms,

00:12:20.220 you don't even get a test.

00:12:22.080 So they're not preemptively

00:12:23.520 testing people

00:12:24.220 just in case.

00:12:26.140 It's over.

00:12:27.680 Now, for those of you

00:12:28.920 who believe

00:12:29.480 that we're entering

00:12:30.320 some kind of a permanent,

00:12:32.880 I don't know what,

00:12:33.660 authoritarian control situation,

00:12:37.480 I've always predicted

00:12:38.800 that when it was over,

00:12:39.920 it would be over.

00:12:41.400 It just isn't over yet.

00:12:43.280 In South Africa,

00:12:44.380 it looks like it's over.

00:12:45.840 And I think they're

00:12:46.440 three weeks ahead of us.

00:12:48.820 I think we're in

00:12:49.880 really good shape.

00:12:51.920 Really good shape.

00:12:53.260 What about Australia,

00:12:54.440 you say?

00:12:54.740 Well, Australia will have to deal

00:12:56.300 with the same Omicron situation.

00:12:59.200 If Omicron sweeps

00:13:00.320 through Australia,

00:13:01.120 they're going to be

00:13:01.540 just like South Africa,

00:13:02.580 I would think.

00:13:03.640 So everybody who thought

00:13:04.700 that these things

00:13:05.420 were permanent,

00:13:06.600 I've always thought

00:13:07.560 that was

00:13:08.100 just a fear-based opinion.

00:13:12.900 I don't think

00:13:13.660 there's any history

00:13:15.020 of anything

00:13:15.880 that would suggest

00:13:16.620 this stuff

00:13:17.320 wouldn't be permanent.

00:13:18.460 Now, there may be

00:13:19.080 permanent elements

00:13:19.920 of policy, I suppose,

00:13:21.140 but you're not going

00:13:21.780 to be wearing a mask forever

00:13:22.980 or you're not going

00:13:23.580 to be quarantining

00:13:24.400 because you have a virus.

00:13:26.240 So all that stuff

00:13:27.080 is going to go away. 0.86

00:13:28.000 We just don't know

00:13:29.180 the exact date yet.

00:13:30.980 So Edward Snowden

00:13:33.140 tweeted

00:13:33.600 that this Christmas

00:13:35.700 may well be the last

00:13:37.000 that WikiLeaks founder

00:13:38.280 Julian Assange

00:13:39.320 will spend outside

00:13:40.820 the pit

00:13:41.380 of an American dungeon.

00:13:43.660 How many of you

00:13:44.680 agree with that?

00:13:45.540 So now that Assange

00:13:46.540 is being

00:13:47.040 what's the legal word,

00:13:50.640 whatever he is,

00:13:51.180 he's being brought

00:13:53.580 to America

00:13:54.140 to face charges.

00:13:55.960 Do you think

00:13:57.700 this is the beginning

00:13:58.820 of the end

00:13:59.660 of Assange?

00:14:03.160 Extradition.

00:14:04.100 Is it rendition

00:14:05.060 or extradition?

00:14:06.640 Extradition

00:14:07.200 is the word

00:14:07.640 I was looking for.

00:14:09.000 Yeah, so it was

00:14:09.480 extradition.

00:14:10.240 I don't know

00:14:12.400 if this is

00:14:13.000 the genetic optimist

00:14:15.980 in me.

00:14:16.280 there's something

00:14:18.740 about this story

00:14:19.860 that we don't know.

00:14:22.680 Well, first of all,

00:14:23.340 would you agree

00:14:23.820 with that?

00:14:24.820 Would you agree

00:14:25.340 with the statement

00:14:25.860 there's something big

00:14:26.980 about the Julian Assange

00:14:29.100 story that the public

00:14:30.160 doesn't know?

00:14:32.180 Right?

00:14:32.660 There's some

00:14:33.520 other variable here

00:14:34.700 that's making this

00:14:36.420 hard to understand

00:14:37.200 from the outside.

00:14:40.400 We might find

00:14:41.500 that out

00:14:42.100 when he gets

00:14:42.820 on American soil.

00:14:44.620 In other words,

00:14:45.280 it might change

00:14:46.060 incentives

00:14:46.840 and focus

00:14:48.320 and how people

00:14:49.140 are thinking about it.

00:14:50.180 So we might learn

00:14:50.900 about it.

00:14:51.700 But I'm going to give

00:14:52.600 you a surprising

00:14:53.320 prediction.

00:14:56.920 I think Assange

00:14:58.080 is going to go free.

00:15:01.540 And

00:15:02.020 I can't give you

00:15:04.500 a reason for it.

00:15:07.280 And I'm aware

00:15:08.200 of that.

00:15:09.520 There's something

00:15:10.320 in my intuition

00:15:11.360 that is just

00:15:12.600 kicking me

00:15:14.660 in the brain.

00:15:15.280 that says

00:15:16.840 this is the beginning

00:15:17.840 of a process

00:15:18.860 in which he

00:15:19.740 ends up free.

00:15:23.160 I'll try

00:15:23.920 to explain

00:15:24.580 maybe why I'm

00:15:25.460 thinking it,

00:15:25.940 but this sounds

00:15:26.460 like a rationalization

00:15:27.600 even when it

00:15:28.320 comes out of my mind.

00:15:29.380 It may be just

00:15:30.060 that I'm an optimist

00:15:31.100 and

00:15:31.280 you know,

00:15:33.060 so I tend

00:15:33.700 to lean in that

00:15:34.340 direction.

00:15:35.440 But

00:15:35.660 I feel as if

00:15:37.580 when Assange

00:15:39.100 gets to America,

00:15:41.260 what's the best

00:15:42.140 way to say it?

00:15:42.860 when Assange

00:15:45.040 was in another

00:15:45.740 country,

00:15:46.320 it felt like

00:15:48.480 that other

00:15:49.060 country's

00:15:49.640 responsibility.

00:15:52.240 Right?

00:15:53.680 Because he was

00:15:54.700 literally,

00:15:57.040 you know,

00:15:58.240 in the embrace

00:15:59.220 of a foreign

00:15:59.900 country.

00:16:01.060 So that didn't

00:16:02.260 feel like my

00:16:02.880 problem

00:16:03.420 so much,

00:16:06.020 even though it is

00:16:06.920 all of our

00:16:07.380 problems.

00:16:08.260 It didn't feel

00:16:08.920 like it.

00:16:09.340 But when you

00:16:10.780 bring Assange

00:16:11.440 onto American 0.88

00:16:12.320 soil,

00:16:13.960 suddenly all

00:16:14.800 of my instincts

00:16:15.660 about what it

00:16:16.680 is to be

00:16:17.200 American

00:16:17.760 just gets

00:16:19.720 triggered in a

00:16:20.720 way that him

00:16:21.240 being in another

00:16:21.840 country didn't.

00:16:22.800 Because he's

00:16:23.600 from another

00:16:24.340 country and he

00:16:25.040 was in yet

00:16:25.880 another country.

00:16:26.940 It just felt

00:16:27.600 like somebody

00:16:28.140 else's problem.

00:16:29.860 But you bring

00:16:30.720 it into my

00:16:31.280 house,

00:16:31.660 which is what's

00:16:33.540 happening,

00:16:33.960 right?

00:16:35.000 Assange is

00:16:35.600 being brought

00:16:36.140 into your

00:16:36.520 house now.

00:16:37.100 And in

00:16:38.940 my house,

00:16:39.520 the rules

00:16:39.860 are different.

00:16:41.520 Do you feel

00:16:42.300 it?

00:16:43.980 If he's in

00:16:44.780 somebody else's

00:16:45.520 house,

00:16:47.160 then maybe

00:16:47.680 somebody else

00:16:48.720 has some

00:16:49.880 responsibilities and

00:16:50.980 some rights,

00:16:51.620 et cetera.

00:16:52.140 But you bring

00:16:52.820 him into my

00:16:53.360 house?

00:16:54.960 You bring him

00:16:55.620 into my house

00:16:56.360 now, at your

00:16:57.020 house, if you're

00:16:57.840 American.

00:16:58.920 If you bring him

00:16:59.780 into my house,

00:17:00.440 my rules apply.

00:17:02.580 Right?

00:17:03.280 Or at least I'm

00:17:04.020 going to try to

00:17:04.460 make them apply.

00:17:06.000 And my rules

00:17:06.700 say, I'm not

00:17:07.460 so sure this

00:17:08.080 guy needs to

00:17:08.660 be in jail.

00:17:10.520 Those are my

00:17:11.300 rules.

00:17:13.200 And I feel

00:17:14.520 like Americans 0.99

00:17:16.640 are going to

00:17:17.620 get activated

00:17:18.840 in a way that

00:17:20.580 they weren't

00:17:21.080 when it was

00:17:21.620 a foreigner

00:17:22.560 in some

00:17:23.400 other country's

00:17:24.140 prison.

00:17:25.840 There's going

00:17:26.380 to be some

00:17:26.740 activation going

00:17:27.560 on here.

00:17:28.180 There's also

00:17:28.680 going to be a

00:17:29.440 lot of attention

00:17:30.360 that wasn't

00:17:31.880 the case before.

00:17:33.400 So this could

00:17:34.000 go from a

00:17:34.820 B story,

00:17:35.640 because it

00:17:36.400 was in

00:17:36.660 another

00:17:36.940 country,

00:17:37.820 to an

00:17:38.260 A story

00:17:38.820 very quickly.

00:17:40.520 Now, how

00:17:40.880 much do you

00:17:41.340 want to see

00:17:41.740 a trial?

00:17:44.820 Don't you

00:17:45.360 want to see

00:17:45.720 a trial?

00:17:47.680 You do,

00:17:48.400 don't you?

00:17:49.260 What would

00:17:49.760 happen if

00:17:50.180 they closed

00:17:51.100 the trial

00:17:51.580 to the

00:17:51.900 public?

00:17:53.260 Is that

00:17:53.680 going to

00:17:53.900 happen?

00:17:55.380 Feels like

00:17:56.000 it could

00:17:56.420 because you've

00:17:56.920 got all

00:17:57.160 this secret

00:17:58.220 stuff going

00:17:58.820 on.

00:17:59.080 I feel

00:18:02.640 like the

00:18:03.020 American

00:18:03.400 public is

00:18:05.520 maybe less

00:18:06.560 willing to

00:18:07.240 listen to

00:18:08.000 corrupt officials

00:18:09.020 than at any

00:18:09.900 time in our

00:18:10.880 history.

00:18:13.120 America is

00:18:14.380 kind of fed

00:18:15.500 up with

00:18:16.920 being told

00:18:17.500 what we

00:18:17.940 must do

00:18:18.600 that is

00:18:19.240 against our

00:18:20.060 sense of

00:18:23.460 freedom and

00:18:24.200 our sense

00:18:24.640 of who we

00:18:25.180 are.

00:18:25.440 One of the

00:18:28.000 things about

00:18:28.460 living in

00:18:28.920 America is

00:18:29.940 it makes

00:18:30.300 you American.

00:18:32.300 It sort of

00:18:33.160 turns you

00:18:33.620 into a

00:18:34.040 creature.

00:18:34.940 Same for

00:18:35.440 other countries

00:18:35.980 I'm sure.

00:18:37.060 But part of

00:18:37.660 the American

00:18:38.140 experience is

00:18:38.980 it brainwashes

00:18:40.940 us or

00:18:42.340 persuades us

00:18:43.240 or puts us

00:18:44.220 in a frame

00:18:44.960 of mind.

00:18:46.220 And we're

00:18:46.880 in a frame

00:18:47.360 of mind

00:18:47.780 right now.

00:18:49.720 America is

00:18:50.420 definitely in

00:18:50.980 a frame of

00:18:51.540 mind.

00:18:52.840 And that

00:18:53.140 frame of

00:18:53.600 mind is

00:18:54.240 we don't

00:18:55.160 trust our

00:18:55.660 politicians.

00:18:56.680 We don't

00:18:56.920 trust our

00:18:57.420 experts.

00:18:58.040 We don't

00:18:58.280 trust our

00:18:58.720 intelligence

00:18:59.140 agencies.

00:19:00.320 But we do

00:19:01.200 trust each

00:19:01.720 other a

00:19:02.120 little bit.

00:19:03.340 More than

00:19:04.040 we trust

00:19:04.580 the people

00:19:05.760 in charge.

00:19:07.480 And Assange

00:19:08.380 is a special

00:19:09.980 case because

00:19:11.760 you could

00:19:12.540 certainly make

00:19:13.080 the argument

00:19:13.560 that what he

00:19:14.380 was doing

00:19:14.840 was for the

00:19:15.440 benefit of

00:19:16.160 the American

00:19:16.680 public.

00:19:19.260 With or

00:19:19.960 without some

00:19:20.580 crime involved.

00:19:21.580 That's the

00:19:21.940 question for

00:19:22.360 the courts.

00:19:23.760 But was

00:19:24.640 he acting

00:19:25.220 in what

00:19:26.040 was clearly

00:19:26.760 in the best

00:19:27.500 interest of

00:19:28.080 the American

00:19:28.560 public?

00:19:30.740 Certainly

00:19:31.300 not in the

00:19:31.900 best interest

00:19:32.440 of the

00:19:32.760 intelligence

00:19:33.160 agencies who

00:19:34.740 presumably are

00:19:35.980 behind the

00:19:37.200 tough stance

00:19:37.740 on him.

00:19:38.660 But you

00:19:41.200 put this guy

00:19:41.900 on trial in

00:19:42.580 America and

00:19:44.020 he tells his

00:19:44.760 story about

00:19:45.340 what he did

00:19:45.820 for the

00:19:46.160 American people

00:19:46.920 and for the

00:19:47.860 people of the

00:19:48.340 world.

00:19:48.620 and my

00:19:51.480 intuition says

00:19:52.540 he doesn't

00:19:55.300 go to jail

00:19:56.420 at the end

00:19:57.040 of the

00:19:57.300 process.

00:19:59.320 How do you

00:20:00.080 feel?

00:20:01.000 Am I being

00:20:01.680 irrational?

00:20:02.420 Because I feel

00:20:03.260 irrational.

00:20:04.160 It doesn't feel

00:20:04.880 like it's any

00:20:05.840 kind of a

00:20:06.460 logical opinion.

00:20:08.720 It just feels

00:20:09.720 like you get

00:20:10.720 him in the

00:20:11.240 American embrace

00:20:12.340 and our rules

00:20:14.200 start to apply.

00:20:15.060 And that's

00:20:16.320 going to change

00:20:16.740 everything.

00:20:17.940 Might not

00:20:18.740 change the

00:20:19.260 final outcome

00:20:20.180 but it's

00:20:21.020 going to change

00:20:21.440 everything about

00:20:22.060 how we feel

00:20:22.580 about it.

00:20:23.600 I think.

00:20:25.360 So let me

00:20:26.300 say that again. 0.71

00:20:28.140 Once Julian

00:20:29.220 Assange is in

00:20:30.420 our house

00:20:31.980 our rules

00:20:34.060 apply.

00:20:35.240 And remember

00:20:35.680 your government

00:20:36.220 doesn't own you.

00:20:37.920 This is America

00:20:38.720 for those of you

00:20:39.640 who are American.

00:20:40.400 I know there are

00:20:40.780 a lot of people

00:20:41.200 watching from

00:20:41.780 other countries.

00:20:43.400 But American

00:20:44.980 Americans, we

00:20:45.760 run this

00:20:46.280 country.

00:20:47.660 And if we

00:20:48.100 decide that the

00:20:49.040 legal system is

00:20:50.080 not doing what

00:20:51.560 we want it to

00:20:52.180 do with Julian

00:20:52.900 Assange, I

00:20:54.700 feel like the

00:20:55.240 people will have

00:20:56.260 to have an

00:20:56.620 opinion on this.

00:20:58.060 And the system

00:20:58.820 doesn't want to

00:20:59.840 go against the

00:21:01.200 people too far

00:21:03.380 or too long.

00:21:04.460 It can't handle

00:21:05.120 that.

00:21:06.780 All right.

00:21:07.180 So we'll keep

00:21:07.580 an eye on that.

00:21:09.700 I see a lot of

00:21:10.600 people say that

00:21:11.280 belief in science

00:21:12.120 is like a

00:21:12.760 religion.

00:21:13.140 How many of

00:21:14.880 you would agree

00:21:15.640 with that?

00:21:17.120 That faith in

00:21:18.260 science is

00:21:18.940 basically like a

00:21:20.080 religion?

00:21:20.880 I'm hearing this

00:21:21.580 opinion.

00:21:23.400 See some yeses,

00:21:24.600 some not at

00:21:25.240 alls?

00:21:25.960 Yeah, I would

00:21:26.400 say it's the

00:21:26.800 opposite.

00:21:28.080 If you do it

00:21:28.660 right.

00:21:29.820 If you do it

00:21:30.700 wrong, it's

00:21:31.200 exactly like a

00:21:32.020 religion.

00:21:33.180 Here's how to

00:21:33.860 do it wrong.

00:21:35.300 Dr. Fauci told

00:21:36.540 me it's true.

00:21:38.440 Is that doing

00:21:39.260 it right?

00:21:40.460 No, that's

00:21:41.040 doing it wrong.

00:21:41.680 That would be

00:21:42.600 like a

00:21:42.920 religion.

00:21:43.860 That would be

00:21:44.340 Fauci is

00:21:45.100 Jesus kind

00:21:45.960 of thing.

00:21:47.000 So if you're

00:21:47.940 doing it wrong,

00:21:49.120 yeah, it's

00:21:49.420 exactly like a

00:21:50.200 religion.

00:21:51.120 If you're doing

00:21:51.840 it right, the

00:21:52.700 only thing you

00:21:53.360 would ever

00:21:53.640 trust is what?

00:21:56.000 What's the

00:21:56.660 only thing you

00:21:57.380 would trust if

00:21:59.020 you were doing

00:21:59.440 it right?

00:22:02.060 The third

00:22:03.000 randomized controlled

00:22:04.120 trial on the

00:22:04.840 same topic.

00:22:06.280 Maybe not even

00:22:07.220 the first one.

00:22:08.580 Second one,

00:22:09.320 well, you're

00:22:10.120 a little bit

00:22:10.660 reasonably feeling

00:22:12.480 certain.

00:22:13.660 But by the

00:22:14.260 third one, you

00:22:15.220 can get some

00:22:15.720 confidence that

00:22:16.720 maybe the

00:22:17.180 system itself has

00:22:18.060 taken the

00:22:18.480 bias out.

00:22:19.700 But certainly,

00:22:21.600 if you're not

00:22:22.180 waiting for the

00:22:22.840 randomized controlled

00:22:23.820 trial, and you're

00:22:25.180 making a positive

00:22:26.380 decision based on

00:22:27.500 something less than

00:22:28.940 that, you might be

00:22:31.440 closer to a

00:22:32.140 religion than you 0.98

00:22:33.900 ought to be.

00:22:34.320 All right, I

00:22:37.380 saw a good

00:22:37.920 framing here from

00:22:38.920 Dr.

00:22:39.520 Interracial, who 1.00

00:22:40.800 is a real good

00:22:41.380 follow on

00:22:42.360 Twitter.

00:22:43.780 Just Google

00:22:44.760 Dr.

00:22:46.040 as in DR

00:22:47.100 period,

00:22:48.460 interracial, and

00:22:49.840 you'll get a lot

00:22:50.360 of good political

00:22:51.600 commentary from

00:22:52.680 that account.

00:22:54.180 So Dr.

00:22:54.760 Interracial, it's 1.00

00:22:55.880 a couple, I

00:22:56.480 believe, an

00:22:56.940 interracial couple,

00:22:58.480 said about me,

00:23:01.440 he said, you all

00:23:02.680 know that Politico

00:23:03.480 did a little

00:23:04.700 minor hit piece

00:23:05.820 on me as part

00:23:06.660 of the worst

00:23:07.980 predictions of

00:23:09.020 2021.

00:23:10.800 So they had me

00:23:11.680 on the list of

00:23:12.300 worst predictions,

00:23:13.440 but of course,

00:23:13.960 they misinterpret

00:23:15.220 the prediction to

00:23:16.140 make it look bad.

00:23:17.660 Now, Dr.

00:23:19.020 Interracial notes

00:23:20.140 this in the tweet,

00:23:20.960 Politico and

00:23:22.320 leftist media is

00:23:23.400 trying to QAnon

00:23:24.940 Scott Adams.

00:23:29.840 Because they know

00:23:30.760 he's right about

00:23:31.540 Republicans being

00:23:32.600 hunted and need

00:23:33.700 to make Scott

00:23:34.300 look like a

00:23:34.900 crazy conspiracy

00:23:35.920 theorist.

00:23:37.140 Scott is now

00:23:37.980 being hunted.

00:23:39.480 So do you

00:23:40.140 remember I told

00:23:40.780 you that as we

00:23:42.040 approached the

00:23:43.020 election cycle,

00:23:44.320 2022 and 2024,

00:23:46.280 you could guarantee

00:23:47.400 that I will be

00:23:48.520 targeted by the

00:23:50.700 media.

00:23:52.140 And the reason

00:23:53.000 that they would

00:23:53.440 need to target me

00:23:54.440 is so that from

00:23:55.480 now on, everybody

00:23:56.860 can look at that

00:23:57.620 article and say,

00:23:58.640 oh, oh, your

00:23:59.480 new opinion is

00:24:00.320 useless because

00:24:01.920 you once said

00:24:02.740 and then they'll

00:24:03.280 fill it in with

00:24:03.860 something I never

00:24:04.500 said.

00:24:05.220 But Politico

00:24:05.840 reported I said

00:24:06.720 it.

00:24:07.520 So they'll say,

00:24:08.140 well, Politico

00:24:08.640 said you said it.

00:24:09.440 It's right there.

00:24:11.000 But of course,

00:24:11.780 it was misinterpreted

00:24:12.720 like most stories.

00:24:15.060 So watch this

00:24:18.440 develop.

00:24:19.300 This won't be the

00:24:20.040 end of it.

00:24:20.740 Because there's a

00:24:21.460 weird thing happening

00:24:22.160 on the Republican

00:24:22.900 side.

00:24:23.400 If you were to

00:24:24.460 make a list of

00:24:25.300 all the sort

00:24:26.980 of unprofessional

00:24:29.500 pundit social

00:24:31.540 media voices in

00:24:33.140 2016 for Trump,

00:24:35.340 how many of the

00:24:36.340 voices for Trump

00:24:37.660 in 2016 still

00:24:40.820 exist, have not

00:24:42.920 been canceled, or

00:24:44.620 have not become

00:24:45.400 more anti-Trump?

00:24:49.040 The number of

00:24:50.220 people has shrunk

00:24:50.920 and shrunk and

00:24:51.480 shrunk, right?

00:24:51.960 Now, I'm not all

00:24:53.300 in on Trump for

00:24:54.800 2024.

00:24:56.500 He's got to make

00:24:57.340 his case just like

00:24:58.280 everybody else,

00:24:59.020 right?

00:24:59.620 I would not

00:25:00.480 automatically say,

00:25:01.500 oh, if Trump

00:25:01.960 comes back, I'm on

00:25:03.260 the Trump train,

00:25:04.100 and everything he

00:25:05.180 does is good.

00:25:05.840 Nothing like that.

00:25:07.140 I live in a country

00:25:08.160 where it's a

00:25:08.960 competitive process,

00:25:11.400 and so I'm going

00:25:12.060 to wait for the

00:25:12.800 competitive process

00:25:13.760 to play out a

00:25:14.880 little bit.

00:25:15.880 And I'll tell you

00:25:17.700 directly, if

00:25:18.300 DeSantis runs in

00:25:20.240 the primaries,

00:25:20.880 it would be

00:25:23.160 really hard not

00:25:23.860 to pick him over 0.56

00:25:24.580 Trump, because

00:25:25.700 you get a lot of

00:25:26.260 the goodness.

00:25:27.540 What the hell?

00:25:31.740 Oh, I got a

00:25:33.760 Russian comment.

00:25:35.780 I thought it was

00:25:36.240 dollars, but it's

00:25:37.080 rubles.

00:25:38.160 So somebody gave

00:25:38.900 me 4,690 rubles.

00:25:42.460 At first, I thought

00:25:43.120 it was dollar

00:25:43.820 denominations.

00:25:45.160 I was like, what

00:25:45.840 the hell?

00:25:46.620 But I'll read your

00:25:47.200 comment, since you

00:25:47.900 gave me that many

00:25:48.480 rubles.

00:25:49.620 Thanks for the

00:25:50.200 amazing loser to

00:25:50.920 think book from

00:25:51.640 Russia.

00:25:52.320 Your perception of

00:25:53.080 Russia's interests 0.87

00:25:53.740 are good, but our

00:25:55.040 government and our

00:25:55.720 people often look

00:25:56.440 differently on the

00:25:57.180 U.S.

00:25:58.020 Best wishes in your

00:25:58.880 new projects?

00:25:59.580 Blah, blah.

00:25:59.960 Simulation is

00:26:00.620 winking.

00:26:01.560 So from Russia, 0.62

00:26:02.700 interesting.

00:26:03.400 He says, my

00:26:04.420 perceptions of

00:26:05.220 Russia's interests 0.87

00:26:06.060 are good, meaning

00:26:07.200 that Russia and the 0.66

00:26:08.060 United States, I

00:26:09.000 think this is what

00:26:09.620 he means, that

00:26:11.080 Russia and the

00:26:11.580 United States need

00:26:12.380 to be allies in the

00:26:13.420 long run.

00:26:14.800 It's just

00:26:15.220 inevitable.

00:26:15.700 Russia and the

00:26:17.920 United States will

00:26:18.700 be allies.

00:26:19.900 It's just going to

00:26:20.600 happen.

00:26:21.440 And you can put it

00:26:22.580 off as long as you

00:26:23.300 want, but it's just

00:26:24.160 going to happen.

00:26:25.560 So, at least military

00:26:27.520 allies.

00:26:29.860 Anyway, so I think

00:26:31.620 Dr. Interracial is 0.80

00:26:33.220 right.

00:26:33.820 I will be targeted to

00:26:35.300 decrease the number of

00:26:37.020 voices that could make a

00:26:38.160 difference.

00:26:40.040 Let me ask you this.

00:26:42.260 If a, forget who the

00:26:43.680 Republican is.

00:26:44.420 A Republican runs for

00:26:45.620 office, could be Trump,

00:26:47.020 could be DeSantis, could

00:26:48.200 be Tom Cotton, whoever

00:26:49.860 it is.

00:26:51.800 Who are the

00:26:52.840 influential, the

00:26:55.280 key word is

00:26:55.800 influential, who are

00:26:57.000 the influential public

00:26:58.520 voices on social media

00:26:59.880 for the next

00:27:01.340 Republican?

00:27:03.560 Name names.

00:27:05.220 Somebody says Mike

00:27:06.040 Cernovich, but is he

00:27:08.020 going to support Trump?

00:27:09.220 At the moment, he says

00:27:10.380 no.

00:27:12.600 Glenn Beck?

00:27:14.420 You know, Glenn Beck

00:27:16.100 seems to stay within a

00:27:18.180 universe.

00:27:19.580 I don't see much

00:27:20.460 Glenn Beck content if

00:27:22.000 you're not, you know,

00:27:22.820 watching his content.

00:27:25.640 Tucker.

00:27:26.920 Jack Posobiec.

00:27:29.480 Dave Rubin.

00:27:30.700 Yeah, Dave, Dave Rubin,

00:27:33.520 he's a special case because

00:27:34.900 he talks, I mean, that's

00:27:36.800 his job is to be in the

00:27:38.080 middle of all that stuff.

00:27:38.880 Larry Elder.

00:27:42.940 Tim Poole's technically

00:27:44.240 independent, right?

00:27:46.140 Dan Bongino.

00:27:47.220 Yeah, so there are still

00:27:48.360 people on the media.

00:27:49.960 So I'm not talking about

00:27:50.940 people who have a show.

00:27:53.420 Right?

00:27:53.980 So it's not so much about

00:27:55.080 somebody who has, I mean,

00:27:56.480 a network show.

00:27:57.420 I'm talking about people

00:27:58.460 who might have a live

00:27:59.320 stream or are on social

00:28:00.980 media.

00:28:01.300 And then, all right, so

00:28:04.200 who is the most

00:28:04.980 influential person on the

00:28:06.520 right right now?

00:28:09.480 It's got to be Tucker,

00:28:10.400 right?

00:28:11.620 Tucker Carlson.

00:28:13.060 Some people are saying

00:28:13.820 Joe Rogan, but I think

00:28:15.620 that's unfair for us to

00:28:17.060 classify him as being on

00:28:18.860 the right.

00:28:20.060 Wouldn't you say?

00:28:22.640 Because he's got some

00:28:25.340 opinions that don't map

00:28:27.240 to the parties that well,

00:28:29.340 but does that mean you

00:28:30.540 can call him on the right?

00:28:32.260 I don't think so.

00:28:33.740 I think he's just

00:28:34.460 following what makes sense,

00:28:36.000 and some people think that

00:28:37.000 puts him on the right.

00:28:38.880 Candace Owens?

00:28:43.620 Yes.

00:28:46.260 Yeah.

00:28:47.360 But, you know,

00:28:48.120 Candace also has a show. 0.91

00:28:50.000 So, I guess I have a show.

00:28:52.520 So, I guess I'm in the

00:28:54.640 same category.

00:28:55.500 But I see the people who

00:28:56.740 are only doing their own

00:28:58.100 thing.

00:28:58.620 They're not part of any

00:28:59.640 entity.

00:29:00.060 So, I'm not part of a

00:29:01.560 larger entity.

00:29:02.360 Anybody who's part of a 0.89

00:29:05.300 larger entity is going to 0.98

00:29:06.780 be influenced by their

00:29:08.280 boss, right?

00:29:09.380 Everybody's getting a

00:29:10.140 paycheck, or at least is

00:29:11.560 getting access to

00:29:12.440 something.

00:29:14.180 But I don't get a

00:29:15.120 paycheck from a person.

00:29:17.820 I mean, the only money I

00:29:19.040 would make is from having

00:29:19.860 a big audience.

00:29:21.900 The Babylon Bee, yeah.

00:29:23.340 Goffeld, yes.

00:29:26.440 Yeah, I mean, it's easy to

00:29:27.520 pick out the Fox News

00:29:28.800 stars, and, you know, the

00:29:30.740 Blaze stars, and say that

00:29:32.420 they'll be the most

00:29:33.100 effective.

00:29:34.960 But, you notice who's

00:29:37.740 missing, right?

00:29:38.320 Thank you so much.

00:29:46.580 I wish I could pronounce

00:29:47.360 your name.

00:29:47.860 I'm getting some more

00:29:48.920 rubles from Russia there.

00:29:55.140 Yeah, so Alex Jones is

00:29:57.120 sort of, you know, Ben

00:29:59.540 Shapiro, yeah.

00:30:02.120 He's a special case, too,

00:30:03.500 because his platform is at

00:30:06.860 least partly or largely

00:30:07.820 owned by him.

00:30:10.360 Yeah, Rush Limbaugh's

00:30:11.640 off it.

00:30:13.180 So it's, there's an

00:30:14.700 interesting situation.

00:30:15.820 Everybody's trying to

00:30:16.540 neutralize the effective

00:30:17.880 voices on the other side

00:30:19.260 to sort of prime the

00:30:21.020 field for the actual

00:30:21.980 contest.

00:30:23.100 And you should expect

00:30:24.760 there will be more fake

00:30:26.560 news about me.

00:30:28.420 So watch for the

00:30:29.700 additional fake news

00:30:31.040 about me.

00:30:31.580 It's coming.

00:30:35.040 And so specifically the

00:30:36.740 fake news about me is

00:30:37.800 this tweet by Bernie

00:30:40.300 Belvedere.

00:30:41.620 He says that I did this,

00:30:43.740 which, of course, I did

00:30:45.040 not.

00:30:46.120 But it's in the tweet.

00:30:47.820 So now lots of people with

00:30:49.000 blue checks, like, liked it.

00:30:51.420 So all those blue check

00:30:52.680 people think I actually said

00:30:53.840 this.

00:30:54.080 So Bernie says that I

00:30:58.740 prophesied that Biden would

00:31:02.700 pursue the mass

00:31:03.660 extermination of

00:31:04.580 republics, of

00:31:05.740 republicans.

00:31:06.900 Now, do you think that I

00:31:08.020 ever prophesied that

00:31:10.100 Biden would pursue the

00:31:11.300 mass extermination of

00:31:12.640 republicans?

00:31:13.300 Nobody ever said that.

00:31:16.920 The way that you can know

00:31:18.500 that that never happened

00:31:19.620 is just by reading it.

00:31:25.700 Karina's saying, how do you

00:31:26.980 manage that?

00:31:27.940 Well, the way I manage it is

00:31:29.260 I try to put as much

00:31:31.260 counter-factual stuff into the

00:31:33.660 tweets and comments as I can.

00:31:35.540 But that's all you can do.

00:31:37.420 The truth is that the very

00:31:38.920 next time I say something

00:31:40.140 smart in public, the left

00:31:43.160 will say, oh, why should we

00:31:45.160 believe you?

00:31:45.780 Because you thought there

00:31:46.520 would be a mass

00:31:47.200 extermination of

00:31:48.140 republicans, which, of

00:31:49.840 course, I never said.

00:31:51.500 Because that would be dumb.

00:31:54.700 But I did say that

00:31:55.760 republicans would be

00:31:56.700 hunted.

00:31:57.880 And I did a poll, and 80%

00:31:59.620 of the people who answered

00:32:00.540 the poll, very unscientific

00:32:02.460 poll, 80% of them said that

00:32:04.940 republicans are indeed being

00:32:06.220 hunted.

00:32:07.680 So, am I right?

00:32:12.520 Was I right that

00:32:13.360 republicans are being

00:32:14.220 hunted?

00:32:15.060 80% of people who answered

00:32:16.420 the poll said yes.

00:32:17.880 So they see it too.

00:32:20.140 And yet, I was on a list of

00:32:21.880 worst predictions.

00:32:24.260 Do you think it would be

00:32:25.440 fair to do a list of best

00:32:27.340 predictions and put me on

00:32:28.760 that list?

00:32:30.100 Because when I said that,

00:32:31.940 you know, you would be

00:32:33.220 hunted, or republicans would

00:32:34.940 be, I thought that you

00:32:36.660 figure, I think that's one

00:32:37.700 of the best predictions

00:32:38.500 that was made.

00:32:40.720 So why can't I be on

00:32:41.940 somebody's list of best

00:32:43.120 predictions for the year?

00:32:45.900 Somebody's going to make a

00:32:46.740 best predictions list.

00:32:48.560 And you better put me on

00:32:49.760 it.

00:32:50.160 if you do that.

00:32:53.200 All right.

00:32:56.440 And then a lot of people thought

00:32:57.660 that good chance means a high

00:32:59.040 chance, which it doesn't.

00:33:00.400 So a lot of people didn't know

00:33:01.340 what words mean, but they got

00:33:02.760 pretty bad.

00:33:04.440 All right.

00:33:04.800 Here is my newest list, which I

00:33:09.760 will make available to you as I

00:33:11.320 build it.

00:33:11.760 It's still a work in progress.

00:33:13.600 And it's called, How to Know You

00:33:14.940 Won an Internet Debate.

00:33:17.060 So it's a list of items, numbered

00:33:19.800 items, so that when you're in an

00:33:21.960 internet debate, and if anybody

00:33:23.460 triggers one of these items, you

00:33:25.900 can just say, aha, that's number

00:33:27.380 four.

00:33:28.160 I claim victory.

00:33:29.840 And then you're done.

00:33:31.320 So here are the things which, if

00:33:33.380 you see your troll who's arguing

00:33:36.500 with you on the other side, if

00:33:38.260 they do any of these things, just

00:33:40.200 say, ah, that's number two.

00:33:42.200 I win.

00:33:43.880 All right.

00:33:44.140 So the title is, How to Know You

00:33:45.860 Won an Internet Debate.

00:33:46.900 Number one, the, quote, so you're

00:33:50.040 saying.

00:33:51.860 All right.

00:33:52.420 These are all ones I got yesterday.

00:33:54.440 So every one of these literally

00:33:55.940 happened to me yesterday.

00:33:57.460 Somebody saying, so you're saying.

00:33:59.740 And then they fill it in with

00:34:00.740 something you didn't say, and

00:34:02.000 nobody would say.

00:34:02.840 It would be ridiculous.

00:34:04.380 So if you see that, you just say,

00:34:06.800 well, there's number one, the so

00:34:08.480 you're saying tell.

00:34:09.960 Number two, escaping to an

00:34:11.920 irrelevant analogy.

00:34:14.320 Analogies can have a limited use

00:34:16.780 explaining a new concept.

00:34:19.740 But the way people use them on the

00:34:21.320 internet is if they can't defend

00:34:23.780 their point, they will make up an

00:34:26.020 imaginary point, which they call an

00:34:27.960 analogy, and they'll try to get

00:34:29.660 you to argue the imaginary one

00:34:31.200 that's different.

00:34:32.460 And the reason they do that is

00:34:33.860 that the actual situation can't be

00:34:35.800 defended.

00:34:36.640 So they have to come up with an

00:34:38.020 imaginary situation that they'll

00:34:39.520 call an analogy and say, well,

00:34:41.980 defend this analogy.

00:34:43.120 But it will always be different.

00:34:44.600 It won't relate to the original

00:34:45.920 thing.

00:34:46.800 So if they escape to an irrelevant

00:34:48.180 analogy, that's number two. 0.79

00:34:49.520 Number three, changing the argument

00:34:51.400 to something else.

00:34:53.560 You could call that moving the

00:34:54.900 goalposts.

00:34:55.480 But you'll see the people say, well,

00:34:58.080 what I really meant was, and then

00:35:00.840 you can just leave, because that's a

00:35:02.720 whole new argument.

00:35:05.380 The other one is acting as if a tiny

00:35:07.420 minority defines the majority.

00:35:10.060 So that would be on the right.

00:35:12.940 It would be people saying that the

00:35:14.580 left are all Antifa or the left are

00:35:17.180 all AOC, which, of course, they're not.

00:35:19.700 But the other way would be imagining

00:35:22.500 that everybody who protested at the

00:35:25.360 Capitol on January 6th was a criminal.

00:35:29.740 That might be technically criminals

00:35:31.440 because they were unaware that they

00:35:33.600 were trespassing, if you've read the

00:35:35.560 background.

00:35:36.400 A lot of people didn't know that there

00:35:37.580 was even a perimeter that had been

00:35:39.020 set.

00:35:39.820 They didn't know they were even

00:35:40.860 trespassing.

00:35:41.680 They thought they were protesting.

00:35:43.280 But anyway, if you act as if the tiny

00:35:45.780 minority defines the majority,

00:35:47.800 just say, oh, okay, we're done.

00:35:51.540 I didn't realize you were doing a

00:35:52.980 number four.

00:35:55.720 Number five, telling me what I think.

00:35:57.820 The mind-draining thing.

00:35:59.300 But you think, anybody who tells me

00:36:01.800 what I think, and it's wrong, that's

00:36:04.780 the end of the conversation.

00:36:06.920 How about the one-variable thinking,

00:36:09.560 where they talk about the costs of

00:36:10.820 something, but not the benefits, or not

00:36:13.160 the trade-off?

00:36:14.880 If somebody can't mention both the

00:36:16.860 costs and the benefits, that's a one-variable

00:36:21.620 thinking, number six.

00:36:22.820 Number seven, if they turn it into a

00:36:24.920 personal insult, it's like, oh, cartoon

00:36:27.760 boy says, whatever, just say, ah, there

00:36:30.920 you go.

00:36:31.740 There's number eight, I'm out.

00:36:33.180 And number nine, word thinking.

00:36:34.780 If they try to make the debate about

00:36:37.120 the definition of a word, there's

00:36:40.360 nothing to talk about there.

00:36:42.200 So just get out.

00:36:43.320 John says, you're being anti-Semitic.

00:36:47.080 Oh, as one of the tells?

00:36:49.440 Maybe so.

00:36:51.000 So now, whenever somebody is doing one

00:36:54.520 of these things, I'm just going to be

00:36:56.600 pasting this into my response.

00:36:59.980 A similar thing would be, if somebody

00:37:03.780 says, here's another tell for cognitive

00:37:06.020 dissonance.

00:37:07.080 People who say the vaccination doesn't

00:37:09.280 work, that's cognitive dissonance.

00:37:14.160 Anybody want to fight with me?

00:37:16.900 Anybody who says the vaccinations don't

00:37:20.280 work with no explainer to that, just the

00:37:23.080 vaccinations don't work, that is

00:37:25.600 cognitive dissonance.

00:37:30.200 Yeah, they don't last.

00:37:31.880 They don't give you immunity.

00:37:33.200 That's true.

00:37:33.600 But it's not true they don't work.

00:37:38.060 I mean, if you want to change the

00:37:39.340 definition of work to something

00:37:40.740 specific, you can.

00:37:42.540 But in the normal world where we talk

00:37:46.000 about things, if it makes a difference,

00:37:48.120 it works.

00:37:49.940 And 100% of all data says it makes a

00:37:55.080 difference.

00:37:57.380 We don't know if long-term you'll grow

00:37:59.460 a second head.

00:38:00.500 But we can say that it's doing what it

00:38:03.660 was meant to do, which is keep you from

00:38:05.620 dying.

00:38:06.760 I mean, that's the primary thing it was

00:38:08.120 meant to do.

00:38:08.720 The ultimate thing it's meant to do is

00:38:10.400 keep you from dying.

00:38:12.000 It would be great if it kept you from

00:38:14.380 getting infected, too.

00:38:15.660 But it doesn't, so we have to just deal

00:38:17.540 with that.

00:38:19.560 Tom says, in all caps, it's not a

00:38:22.140 vaccine.

00:38:24.280 That is cognitive dissonance.

00:38:26.980 Is there anybody else who wants to shout

00:38:28.360 at me that I'm using the word wrong?

00:38:31.440 Because if I'm using the word wrong, that

00:38:33.460 would be number nine.

00:38:35.240 Word thinking.

00:38:36.280 Replacing debate with definition.

00:38:38.840 If we know that it keeps you from dying, and

00:38:41.560 all the evidence says that, all of it, 100%

00:38:44.800 of it says that, and every expert would

00:38:47.800 agree that it keeps you from dying in the

00:38:50.400 short term, maybe long term, who knows?

00:38:52.540 Why doesn't anyone prove how well they

00:38:57.060 work?

00:38:58.260 Well, they have, and 100% of the data.

00:39:02.240 So that's just cognitive dissonance.

00:39:04.380 So there are a lot of people who, I think,

00:39:06.400 made a public stand that vaccinations

00:39:08.460 wouldn't work or would be a disaster.

00:39:12.680 And you can certainly say that they don't

00:39:14.740 keep you from spreading.

00:39:18.000 That's true.

00:39:18.740 That's true, unfortunately.

00:39:21.060 But is there anybody else who wants to say

00:39:23.680 that the vaccines don't work?

00:39:25.900 Are you willing to say it in public?

00:39:28.920 Define work.

00:39:30.300 Well, the goal of a vaccine should be to

00:39:32.840 keep you alive.

00:39:35.420 I'd say that works.

00:39:38.800 In the short term.

00:39:40.400 If you want to argue that we don't know

00:39:42.300 about the long term, that is true.

00:39:45.640 Why would you trust the data?

00:39:46.920 I didn't say I trusted the data.

00:39:48.380 I said 100% of it is in the same direction.

00:39:51.680 Where do you get your info?

00:39:53.380 Everywhere.

00:39:53.980 Just Google it.

00:39:55.160 I'm telling you, it's 100%.

00:39:56.600 If it were 99, I'd tell you where I got

00:39:59.380 the 99.

00:40:00.740 But I'm telling you, you can look

00:40:01.840 anywhere.

00:40:02.700 Any search engine, any article.

00:40:05.040 There's no article that says the opposite.

00:40:07.820 That vaccines do keep you from dying.

00:40:10.880 There's no argument about that by any

00:40:12.860 expert.

00:40:13.160 So by that definition, ivermectin is a

00:40:17.840 vaccine.

00:40:18.580 Okay, that's a stupid argument.

00:40:21.060 Because again, it's just word thinking.

00:40:23.260 You're not wrong.

00:40:24.460 It just doesn't add anything.

00:40:27.440 You should be skeptical of the experts.

00:40:29.280 I'll message Scott later about the J6 pressure 1.00

00:40:36.980 campaign.

00:40:38.880 Okay.

00:40:42.740 Words do matter.

00:40:43.920 They do.

00:40:46.780 You're word thinking too, buddy.

00:40:49.000 Am I?

00:40:49.420 If I said that something, if the goal of

00:40:54.140 something is to keep you alive, and that it

00:40:57.340 does that, is it irrelevant that I say it

00:41:00.980 works?

00:41:02.220 That seems like just exactly the definition

00:41:04.520 everybody uses for that word.

00:41:06.360 If I were using my own, like, weird special

00:41:08.560 definition, then I would be word thinking.

00:41:11.160 But if I use it the way everyone uses it, that's

00:41:13.700 the opposite.

00:41:14.140 You don't know it does that.

00:41:19.780 Did I say I know?

00:41:21.380 I said 100% of the data says it does that.

00:41:26.300 You are missing the word vaccine.

00:41:28.140 I feel like I'm not getting through.

00:41:42.120 And I don't want to do this with swearing, but

00:41:44.320 sometimes that's the only times you can make

00:41:45.900 a thing.

00:41:47.680 Does everybody understand that I understand that

00:41:53.620 they're calling the things vaccines, but

00:41:56.620 everybody understands, including the people

00:41:58.640 using the words, that it doesn't immunize

00:42:01.120 you from getting infected.

00:42:03.420 We wish it had.

00:42:04.840 It didn't.

00:42:06.500 But here's what you don't need to tell me.

00:42:10.260 That they called them vaccines, but they

00:42:13.460 don't do what you expect a vaccine to do.

00:42:17.260 We all know that.

00:42:19.680 Why did you think that telling me that would

00:42:21.600 be additive?

00:42:23.960 What do you think is going on?

00:42:25.560 You think I didn't know that the word vaccine

00:42:28.960 implies very strongly that it will keep you

00:42:33.000 from getting something, and that that's not

00:42:35.620 the case.

00:42:37.200 You changed the definition of work?

00:42:39.820 No, I didn't.

00:42:41.540 I didn't change the definition of work.

00:42:44.880 There's no other definition.

00:42:46.640 It either does what it was intended to do,

00:42:49.100 keep you alive, or it didn't.

00:42:51.880 Now, as a sub-task to keeping you alive,

00:42:57.500 it was intended to keep you from getting infected,

00:43:01.220 but it doesn't.

00:43:02.300 How could we not get past that?

00:43:04.660 How are you still living in the past?

00:43:07.820 The past, it mattered that they said it would

00:43:12.380 immunize you, but it doesn't.

00:43:14.540 But we're not in the past.

00:43:16.300 We're now in the present, where everybody knows that fact.

00:43:19.400 You don't need to keep saying it.

00:43:21.900 It doesn't add anything.

00:43:25.020 Israel showed that it worked less than anticipated.

00:43:28.440 Yes.

00:43:29.680 We're all not happy that it's not 100% effective.

00:43:35.220 The reduction in death rate is less than the margin of error,

00:43:38.000 somebody says.

00:43:38.700 Absolutely not.

00:43:40.220 That is, there's not any data that shows that.

00:43:43.200 None.

00:43:43.440 You changed the definition of the.

00:43:46.780 Now you're talking.

00:43:49.560 Takes 14 days from shot to immunization.

00:43:53.400 All right.

00:43:54.740 Yeah.

00:43:55.560 Next topic.

00:43:57.000 All right.

00:44:00.540 Well, it turns out that that was my last topic.

00:44:04.920 How many people have you seen today

00:44:06.860 telling you about their one experience

00:44:09.220 and how that one experience should tell you something?

00:44:13.900 How many people did that today?

00:44:15.640 It's all over the Internet today.

00:44:17.900 I had this one experience,

00:44:20.040 and so my one experience should tell you something.

00:44:23.700 No.

00:44:25.440 No.

00:44:25.840 No, your one experience doesn't tell me anything.

00:44:30.120 If it did, we wouldn't need science.

00:44:32.740 So, I know that we all think the world

00:44:37.800 sort of is informed by our own experience,

00:44:40.960 but it really isn't.

00:44:44.800 Why lower the bar for vaccines?

00:44:47.040 I don't know what that means.

00:44:57.600 Rude dude.

00:44:59.260 All right.

00:45:00.440 AIDS and the Fauci history.

00:45:01.920 Well, my understanding of the AIDS strategy

00:45:07.780 was to make it seem scarier than it was

00:45:10.800 for non-gay people

00:45:12.460 because if you really wanted attention and funding,

00:45:16.080 you had to get the non-gay public on board. 0.64

00:45:19.740 So my understanding is that

00:45:20.960 that was a well-known intentional strategy

00:45:23.560 to make it look riskier to non-gay people than it was.

00:45:27.600 Now, do we also see the government scaring us in the same way

00:45:34.680 to try to get us to do what maybe somebody thinks is a good idea?

00:45:38.140 I'd say so.

00:45:40.760 I'd say so.

00:45:43.560 All right.

00:45:44.080 You are the all-COVID channel.

00:45:51.240 You know, the problem is that there's nothing else interesting going on.

00:45:54.900 And the interesting thing about the COVID

00:45:56.500 is why people can't think about it correctly.

00:45:59.760 It would be one thing if you had a different opinion.

00:46:03.460 That's fine.

00:46:04.780 People have lots of different opinions.

00:46:06.840 But our inability to think about it clearly

00:46:09.560 is continually fascinating to me.

00:46:12.740 So to me,

00:46:15.440 I'm going to...

00:46:16.620 I'll delete you for saying all COVID channel

00:46:19.800 over and over again.

00:46:20.900 Let's see if we can get somebody

00:46:23.260 who's not an NPC to make some comments.

00:46:26.820 All right.

00:46:27.760 I have this problem all the time.

00:46:29.280 I use a word that's 90% accurate for my point.

00:46:32.240 Everyone knows what I mean.

00:46:34.120 But because it is not 100% the right word,

00:46:36.740 I'm wrong.

00:46:37.580 Yeah.

00:46:38.540 Well, just remember that the word thinkers

00:46:40.720 are not engaging in anything

00:46:42.760 that's a rational process.

00:46:45.020 And so that's why I came up with the term word thinking.

00:46:48.480 Because once you have a word for it,

00:46:50.960 then you can dismiss it more easily.

00:46:54.980 The imprisoned J6 Americans... 1.00

00:46:58.120 I don't feel like I know enough about that,

00:47:01.320 which is a big enough problem in itself.

00:47:03.380 Yeah, I mean, I did spend a lot of yesterday

00:47:06.260 defending the fact that it's clear

00:47:09.800 that Republicans are being put in jail with...

00:47:13.480 In a circumstance that doesn't look normal to me,

00:47:17.180 it looks like they got hunted.

00:47:21.080 Yeah, and where is Ray Epps?

00:47:23.060 I keep seeing that question.

00:47:31.800 Mail-in ballots are boring.

00:47:36.020 Publish your list in a micro-lesson.

00:47:37.840 Oh, yeah, maybe I should.

00:47:41.660 The executive order on fentanyl trafficking.

00:47:44.100 I've never seen that.

00:47:45.040 Somebody says there's an executive order

00:47:47.300 on fentanyl trafficking.

00:47:49.060 What does the executive order say?

00:47:56.340 What's that say?

00:47:58.960 Oh, okay.

00:48:00.360 Somebody sent me a link.

00:48:02.360 Let's see what that says about fentanyl.

00:48:05.500 Opposing sanctions on foreign persons

00:48:07.340 involved in the global illicit drug trade.

00:48:09.520 Oh, December 15th.

00:48:10.040 So they're going to sanction

00:48:13.000 people who are involved in it.

00:48:17.420 Well, how is that different?

00:48:19.820 I thought we were always doing that.

00:48:22.020 Authorized to impose sanctions, blah, blah, blah.

00:48:25.920 Anybody engaged in activities for illicit drugs.

00:48:29.380 So it looks like financial and maybe trade sanctions.

00:48:36.260 I don't know.

00:48:37.480 Is that even...

00:48:39.760 I guess I'm open to the question of

00:48:42.200 whether that'll make a difference.

00:48:44.520 You know, we told China who their main dealer was

00:48:47.460 and it didn't make any difference.

00:48:48.700 So as long as China is producing the precursors 0.99

00:48:53.100 and they don't care about policing themselves,

00:48:56.200 as long as they're sending it to the cartels,

00:48:58.600 and the cartels, of course,

00:48:59.920 don't care about policing themselves,

00:49:02.140 why would it make a difference

00:49:03.440 if Biden was sanctioning people for illicit drugs?

00:49:10.160 Like, I don't know exactly who would even be there.

00:49:13.680 Who...

00:49:14.680 Can you sanction the politicians?

00:49:18.700 Do you believe anything Liz Warren says?

00:49:22.300 That's an interesting question.

00:49:25.520 That's too...

00:49:26.720 The question's too absolute.

00:49:29.420 Why not go hard on Mexico 1.00

00:49:30.840 because Mexico doesn't have any control over the cartels?

00:49:35.740 And the reality is the cartels control the government.

00:49:38.620 It doesn't work the other way around.

00:49:46.600 If I...

00:49:47.560 Well, I'm done with that topic.

00:49:55.380 Did Trump ditch Rudy?

00:49:57.020 I haven't heard about Rudy lately.

00:50:03.160 How do we know the ruble guy isn't a state actor?

00:50:06.160 Well, he probably wouldn't say he's Russian

00:50:09.080 and pay me a tip in rubles.

00:50:11.140 I think if he were...

00:50:13.540 I mean, I don't know that, but...

00:50:19.540 Here it says,

00:50:20.620 Adam Curry and John Dvorak are right.

00:50:22.620 Shark jump.

00:50:23.700 Well, let me tell you about John Dvorak and Adam Curry.

00:50:26.800 I talked to John Dvorak after hearing what they said about me,

00:50:30.680 and John admitted he didn't know what I'd said

00:50:32.840 and is aware that his comments had nothing to do with my actual opinions.

00:50:38.980 So you, being the fucking idiot that you are,

00:50:42.540 listened to one podcast without hearing the other side

00:50:45.760 and came to a decision.

00:50:47.620 Do you know why you came to a decision hearing one side?

00:50:51.300 Do you know why you did that?

00:50:52.300 Because you're a fucking idiot.

00:50:55.420 That's why.

00:50:56.860 You should have at least...

00:50:58.080 You should have at least said to yourself,

00:51:02.160 if these people are saying that Scott said something ridiculous,

00:51:07.100 maybe I should check that.

00:51:09.640 Because maybe people say people said things that are ridiculous,

00:51:13.860 and then it turns out they didn't say that at all.

00:51:16.600 They actually were misinterpreted.

00:51:18.460 So if you really think that I jumped the shark,

00:51:23.160 which is a sign of that you're an NPC,

00:51:25.540 you're a fucking idiot. 0.99

00:51:28.120 Go listen to it again,

00:51:30.080 and then you tell me one thing that they said

00:51:32.520 that you think is true,

00:51:34.580 and challenge me on it.

00:51:36.260 I'll tell you it didn't happen.

00:51:38.180 Oh, Kim Potter?

00:51:38.960 Yeah, Kim Potter was racism against white people. 1.00

00:51:43.000 So if you watch the Kim Potter,

00:51:45.540 or if you know about the outcome,

00:51:46.660 she's the one who thought she had a taser, 0.98

00:51:49.480 but she had her gun,

00:51:50.800 and she shot the guy that she thought she was tasing.

00:51:54.080 Now, apparently she could have shot him 0.97

00:51:56.620 if she had intended to shoot him,

00:51:58.180 and there would be no charges,

00:52:00.000 because he was reaching for a weapon.

00:52:03.160 And there was enough reason to believe he would use it.

00:52:05.660 So, Kim Potter goes to jail 1.00

00:52:13.780 for what was obviously a mistake.

00:52:18.080 Now, you can go to jail for making a mistake.

00:52:22.620 You know, manslaughter is,

00:52:24.040 you know, you should have known better.

00:52:26.300 You know, anybody would have known this was a problem.

00:52:29.120 You know, any realistic sense of taking care of other people

00:52:33.960 would have made this not a problem, right?

00:52:36.660 That sort of thing.

00:52:37.740 But when you see what she did,

00:52:40.060 the sheer, let's say the,

00:52:45.080 it looks like it's stupid, 0.75

00:52:47.100 but it wasn't.

00:52:47.900 It looks like the excitement of the moment

00:52:52.960 scrambled her brain. 0.99

00:52:56.900 Now, I'll go further than that.

00:52:58.360 It's obviously that's what happened.

00:52:59.780 It's obvious that the emotions of the moment

00:53:04.400 scrambled her brain. 0.99

00:53:05.980 And she didn't have the ability in that moment

00:53:08.220 to discern what she was doing.

00:53:12.360 And that's obvious.

00:53:14.060 Now, how she got convicted

00:53:16.040 for something that was an obvious error

00:53:19.260 that ended in the shooting of somebody

00:53:22.000 who deserved to get shot at that very moment.

00:53:24.440 Somebody says poor training, but I don't think so.

00:53:29.640 I mean, it could be.

00:53:31.120 But I don't think you can train somebody

00:53:33.160 for a specific situation.

00:53:35.580 You can train people for lots of things,

00:53:39.000 but this was so specific.

00:53:41.400 Do you think that they trained people?

00:53:44.560 Well, remember that she said,

00:53:47.520 she was reported to said,

00:53:50.300 taser, taser, taser. 1.00

00:53:51.720 Which means that at that moment,

00:53:54.300 she thought she was holding a taser.

00:53:57.820 To me, that would be the end of the trial.

00:54:00.400 If you knew that she yelled,

00:54:01.980 taser, taser, taser, 0.99

00:54:03.060 then the only thing you know for sure

00:54:04.400 is that she believed she had that in her hand.

00:54:06.820 Because she probably thought to herself,

00:54:08.960 gunner, taser, gunner, taser, gunner, taser.

00:54:12.660 Right?

00:54:13.820 Before she pulled her taser, 0.99

00:54:15.200 don't you think she was thinking to herself,

00:54:17.280 gunner, taser, gunner, taser, gunner, taser.

00:54:19.360 And she picked up something that had a handle

00:54:22.280 and a trigger just like a gun.

00:54:25.560 But also just like a taser.

00:54:28.120 And then yelled, taser, taser, taser,

00:54:30.100 because her brain was still in taser,

00:54:32.080 but she had picked the wrong thing.

00:54:34.640 So to me, that was an obvious case

00:54:36.840 of white people throwing a white person under the bus

00:54:40.160 so they did not look like racists

00:54:42.260 and didn't have to deal with it.

00:54:43.800 So I would say that there's a good chance

00:54:45.860 it'll be overturned.

00:54:47.500 Because to me, I don't think there could be

00:54:49.780 a more obvious case of injustice.

00:54:52.980 That one was pretty obvious.

00:54:54.380 But the public would not allow a white cop 0.98

00:54:57.300 to shoot a black person 1.00

00:54:58.380 who wasn't actually pointing a weapon right at them.

00:55:01.580 So the public can't handle that.

00:55:03.600 So I think the jurors just said,

00:55:05.220 well, I'm not going to make this my problem.

00:55:07.420 The public can't handle this.

00:55:08.720 We'll throw this cop under the bus. 0.99

00:55:10.820 So I believe that it was a massive injustice,

00:55:13.840 and obviously so.

00:55:17.080 But white people always throw white people under the bus

00:55:20.520 to protect themselves.

00:55:23.140 It's the most common thing you'll see.

00:55:25.060 It's the reason I lost two careers.

00:55:27.180 I lost two careers for being white and male

00:55:31.720 because the white male people in senior management

00:55:36.320 didn't want to look like they were a bunch of racists.

00:55:39.620 So they just stopped promoting white males for a while.

00:55:44.940 That's when I left.

00:55:46.020 Twice.

00:55:46.840 Two different careers.

00:55:48.140 So in both cases, it's white people

00:55:49.740 throwing white people under the bus.

00:55:51.500 So when white people are discriminated against for race,

00:55:55.080 it's often from white people.

00:55:58.300 We're just saying,

00:55:58.960 I'm going to throw this white person under a bus 1.00

00:56:00.620 to protect myself.

00:56:02.240 We do it all the time.

00:56:05.800 Not proud of it.

00:56:06.840 All right.

00:56:09.220 Let's see your comments here.

00:56:14.680 What do I predict will happen with Alec Baldwin?

00:56:17.460 I think probably there will be

00:56:18.780 private cases against him that might succeed,

00:56:24.240 but I don't think he has a legal risk.

00:56:30.240 Yeah, because Alec Baldwin shot a white person.

00:56:32.920 Shooting a white person isn't especially illegal in this country

00:56:37.880 if it looked accidental.

00:56:40.840 If it was accidental and he had shot a black person,

00:56:44.220 I think he'd go to jail.

00:56:46.320 If the situation were exactly the same,

00:56:50.020 I think he'd go to jail.

00:56:50.960 Is jump the shark an example of name-calling

00:57:00.380 or a bad analogy?

00:57:01.880 Well, it's definitely a tell for cognitive dissonance

00:57:06.440 if there's not also an argument.

00:57:11.160 What's the most interesting way a simulation could go in 2022?

00:57:15.740 Let's see.

00:57:16.240 What's the most interesting thing?

00:57:17.460 Well, Trump running for president would be pretty interesting.

00:57:20.960 Well, that's 2024.

00:57:23.180 The most interesting thing this simulation could bring us.

00:57:26.680 Look at what it's brought us so far.

00:57:29.100 We can build a house in 12 hours, 3D printing.

00:57:33.280 We may have developed platforms that can cure cancer

00:57:36.880 because of the pandemic stuff.

00:57:39.460 We certainly know how to handle the next pandemic better, right?

00:57:43.400 We took one of the biggest risks in the public,

00:57:46.960 which was a pandemic,

00:57:48.120 and because we actually had it,

00:57:50.960 we're probably in a lot better shape for the next time.

00:57:53.660 Because nuclear power is popular again,

00:57:56.100 and fusion looks like it's happening,

00:57:58.080 climate change is probably solved.

00:58:00.600 So this year alone,

00:58:02.000 we probably are on our way to solve climate change,

00:58:05.540 housing,

00:58:06.940 employment's good,

00:58:09.840 cancer may be near treatment,

00:58:12.120 treatment for everything.

00:58:14.020 No, a Trump Speaker of the House would be fun,

00:58:18.700 but I don't think the Republicans would go for that.

00:58:24.640 Cure cancer by inducing heart attacks, maybe.

00:58:27.520 But I think the question is that the platform

00:58:30.120 could be used more generally,

00:58:31.520 that mRNA platform,

00:58:33.360 if it doesn't kill us.

00:58:34.300 Sounds like a golden age, exactly.

00:58:44.620 Was Jesus a programmer that entered the simulation?

00:58:49.420 Maybe.

00:58:51.520 All right, that's all I got for now,

00:58:53.100 and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

00:58:55.320 Maybe there'll be more news,

00:58:56.640 but I doubt it.
