00:00:00.000 Da-da-da-da-da.
00:00:02.180 La-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:00:05.680 Da-da-da-da.
00:00:08.680 Well, good morning, everybody.
00:00:11.300 Welcome to my last day on social media,
00:00:14.540 according to most of my followers.
00:00:17.760 I've accepted a challenge, we'll talk about that later,
00:00:21.020 to violate the narrative and see if I get kicked off of social media.
00:00:26.260 So, let's see what happens.
00:00:28.120 But before we do that, would you like to have one possibly final simultaneous sip?
00:00:35.640 It might be the last one ever.
00:00:38.520 And actually, it might be the last one ever.
00:00:42.400 This is real, by the way.
00:00:44.200 I actually am going to see how close I can fly to the sun.
00:00:48.300 And I'm doing it for the purpose of making a point.
00:00:53.680 Now, if I get deleted from what I say today,
00:00:56.480 we really have a problem in this country.
00:01:00.000 If I don't, well, maybe I will have defined the boundary
00:01:03.700 and will have a little better sense of what gets you kicked off.
00:01:06.880 But first, what about the simultaneous sip?
00:01:10.280 Yeah, all you need is a copper mug or a glass,
00:01:13.620 a tanker, chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind.
00:01:16.860 And fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:17.880 I like coffee.
00:01:20.360 And join me now for the unparalleled and possibly final pleasure.
00:01:26.320 It's called the simultaneous sip.
00:01:29.200 And it's going to happen now.
00:01:31.000 Yeah, it's good.
00:01:39.640 It's good.
00:01:41.720 Well, we're going to wait for the audience to build up for the big event
00:01:46.460 to see if I can get kicked off social media.
00:01:49.660 But before we do that, let's talk about some other things.
00:01:52.340 I cheekily ran a little question on Twitter
00:01:57.760 because I'm always interested in whether our decisions are made by reason
00:02:04.320 and good data or are our decisions made irrationally.
00:02:09.820 And then we rationalize them after the event.
00:02:13.400 And so I asked the following question.
00:02:16.920 I gave people two choices.
00:02:18.800 They could have a 100% chance of dying or a 25% chance of dying.
00:02:27.120 What do you think people chose?
00:02:30.280 You could have a 100% chance of dying or, option two, a 25% chance of dying.
00:02:37.060 Which did they choose?
00:02:39.460 Well, of course, I'm sort of presenting the situation
00:02:46.320 in a misleading way to make a point.
00:02:49.660 Because I didn't ask it as simply as that.
00:02:52.420 I rather complicated it with a hypothetical.
00:02:56.180 That the reason that you would either die or not die,
00:03:00.440 based on those odds,
00:03:02.280 would have to do with the vaccination.
00:03:05.040 So I thought to myself,
00:03:06.420 what would happen if you just introduced the idea of a vaccination
00:03:09.560 into a decision which is amazingly simple?
00:03:13.080 Would people have trouble answering a really simple question
00:03:18.600 if you just added a little vaccination in there?
00:03:22.460 Are we so worked up about vaccinations
00:03:24.780 that even if you eliminate all risks
00:03:28.380 and say it's either a 100% chance of dying or 25%?
00:03:33.900 You get to pick.
00:03:34.680 But it's about vaccinations.
00:03:36.860 As soon as you throw the vaccinations,
00:03:38.580 people can't answer the question.
00:03:40.900 Now, of course, they suspected a trick.
00:03:43.620 They were like, hmm,
00:03:45.420 I'm not sure I want to answer this question
00:03:47.200 because then he's going to turn it into something else.
00:03:50.160 No.
00:03:51.200 No, I wasn't going to turn it into something else.
00:03:53.700 I just wanted to...
00:03:54.620 Let me give you the exact question.
00:03:57.360 If the next variant...
00:03:59.200 So if...
00:04:00.580 If the next variant were to spread as easily as Omicron...
00:04:03.880 Now, the idea is that everybody would get it eventually
00:04:06.120 because Omicron is sort of unstoppable.
00:04:09.600 But it had a 100% death rate.
00:04:12.700 So imagine that there was some new virus that came out
00:04:15.020 that killed everybody in a month.
00:04:18.300 It doesn't kill them instantly.
00:04:20.060 They linger for about a month
00:04:21.700 so that they can spread it to other people.
00:04:23.600 It's the worst-case scenario.
00:04:25.840 100% of people die,
00:04:27.440 but not until they've spread it around,
00:04:29.540 which would be weird, right?
00:04:30.580 Because most viruses, if it kills you,
00:04:33.400 that stops the virus.
00:04:35.000 But this is a weird one, hypothetically.
00:04:37.300 It's not a real one, but hypothetically.
00:04:40.380 It sticks around, infects everybody,
00:04:42.360 and then 100% of you die.
00:04:44.660 Or, hypothetically, and this is not real,
00:04:48.420 you could take a vaccine, again, hypothetically,
00:04:51.280 no real data here,
00:04:52.800 with a known 25% chance of killing you,
00:04:55.920 but a 75% chance of protecting you.
00:04:58.320 As soon as I threw the vaccine in there,
00:05:02.420 as soon as you threw in the vaccine part,
00:05:10.240 people couldn't answer the question.
00:05:13.000 Now, I think the reason they couldn't answer it
00:05:15.500 is that there's a consistency issue that we all have.
00:05:19.620 So, if you've taken a stand,
00:05:23.300 it's hard to change your stance,
00:05:25.560 even if the data changes.
00:05:27.440 We all know that, right?
00:05:28.600 You're all aware of that in yourselves, right?
00:05:30.880 Would you say that's true of yourselves,
00:05:33.520 that once you've decided
00:05:35.480 you're the person who always says X,
00:05:38.320 even if there's some information
00:05:39.940 that maybe doesn't make that look like a good idea,
00:05:42.760 you still want to be the person who says X,
00:05:45.080 because that's who you were,
00:05:46.380 it's who you want to be.
00:05:47.280 It's hard to change your consistency.
00:05:51.220 And so, you should read the thread
00:05:53.360 of how people responded
00:05:54.500 to a 100% chance of dying
00:05:57.080 versus a 25% chance.
00:05:59.320 Turns out, it was a much harder question
00:06:01.900 than people thought.
00:06:05.820 I would like to give you,
00:06:07.820 I'd like to compliment
00:06:10.240 the people who answered it correctly.
00:06:12.120 So, among the people
00:06:15.060 who answered them correctly,
00:06:17.400 one of them said yes.
00:06:20.380 Yes, they would rather have
00:06:21.920 a 25% chance of dying
00:06:24.640 than 100%.
00:06:26.120 Somebody's asking what time frame.
00:06:31.300 Well, remember, it's Omicron,
00:06:32.720 so it's going to get you.
00:06:33.560 You could hide it in the woods forever,
00:06:35.600 but once you get out of the woods,
00:06:37.620 you're going to get it from the animals,
00:06:39.080 because the animals will have
00:06:40.800 this new virus, too.
00:06:42.480 Now, of course,
00:06:43.300 everybody wanted to
00:06:44.120 Kobayashi Murumi
00:06:46.500 and change the question.
00:06:49.560 Well, if I were to change the question,
00:06:52.080 no, no, you don't get
00:06:52.980 to change the question.
00:06:55.300 Anyway, I don't think
00:06:56.260 that proved anything,
00:06:57.200 but it was a fun little experiment
00:06:58.660 to see if somebody could answer
00:06:59.900 the simplest question in the world
00:07:01.560 if you complicated it
00:07:03.480 by adding the word vaccine.
00:07:04.680 As soon as you add that word,
00:07:07.120 people just,
00:07:08.440 their powers of reason
00:07:09.460 just go sideways.
00:07:13.320 Eric Weinstein
00:07:14.340 answered the question correctly.
00:07:17.020 The correct answer is,
00:07:19.080 of course you take the 25%
00:07:20.860 over the 100%,
00:07:21.960 but beware of people
00:07:24.500 who use hypotheticals
00:07:27.420 like that in the wrong way.
00:07:30.220 So I don't think
00:07:31.580 there could have been
00:07:32.060 a more perfect answer
00:07:33.360 to the question.
00:07:34.980 Yes.
00:07:36.420 Yes.
00:07:37.460 But beware of this,
00:07:38.600 you know,
00:07:38.960 this technique.
00:07:40.340 Of course you should.
00:07:42.080 Now, yesterday,
00:07:42.900 I was having a lot of fun
00:07:43.960 with my critics,
00:07:45.520 and Ian Miles Cheung
00:07:47.720 noticed,
00:07:48.460 and he said,
00:07:49.720 watching people get mad
00:07:50.900 and unfollow,
00:07:52.000 Scott Adams says,
00:07:53.000 for refusing to validate
00:07:54.460 their confirmation biases
00:07:56.520 by punching through
00:07:58.120 their echo chamber
00:07:59.040 should be a reminder
00:08:00.300 that everyone,
00:08:01.420 no matter where they stand
00:08:02.600 on the political spectrum,
00:08:04.520 is vulnerable
00:08:05.180 to mass formation psychosis.
00:08:08.460 So Ian thinks
00:08:10.060 that people are suffering
00:08:11.260 from this thing
00:08:12.540 called confirmation bias,
00:08:15.060 and that that's why
00:08:15.760 they're having trouble
00:08:16.680 with my opinions,
00:08:17.660 this confirmation bias.
00:08:20.340 So I responded to him,
00:08:21.700 I said,
00:08:22.000 what is confirmation bias?
00:08:24.840 Never heard of that.
00:08:25.900 But I'll tell you
00:08:28.380 what people have informed me
00:08:29.740 I'm doing.
00:08:30.760 So this is what people
00:08:31.700 told me I was doing yesterday.
00:08:33.140 Nothing about confirmation bias.
00:08:36.340 What they said is that
00:08:37.360 what I'm actually doing
00:08:38.260 is trying to cope
00:08:40.240 because I was, quote,
00:08:42.020 afraid of the couf
00:08:43.320 while I was wrong
00:08:45.440 about all the things
00:08:46.820 that I never actually said,
00:08:48.580 and also I was refusing
00:08:50.280 to, quote,
00:08:51.040 accept the L
00:08:52.060 while everyone dunks on me
00:08:54.760 and I marinate in my ratio.
00:08:56.300 So Ian,
00:08:58.560 I appreciate that
00:08:59.640 you're trying to defend me
00:09:01.060 in a sense
00:09:01.560 and thinking that my critics
00:09:03.100 were suffering
00:09:03.700 confirmation bias,
00:09:05.080 but I don't think
00:09:05.580 that's the case.
00:09:07.020 I think the problem's
00:09:07.760 on my end,
00:09:09.000 what with my coping
00:09:10.140 and being afraid
00:09:11.000 of the couf
00:09:11.580 and being wrong
00:09:12.300 about the things
00:09:12.840 I've ever said,
00:09:14.080 refusing to accept the L,
00:09:16.220 getting dunked on
00:09:17.060 and marinating
00:09:18.100 in my ratio.
00:09:20.540 So that's what's
00:09:21.420 really going on.
00:09:22.760 Well, the CEO
00:09:23.620 of Volkswagen
00:09:24.320 just tweeted
00:09:25.700 that we need
00:09:27.240 more cooperation
00:09:28.240 and presence
00:09:28.860 in China,
00:09:29.480 not less,
00:09:31.380 because it would be
00:09:32.180 very damaging
00:09:32.780 to Germany
00:09:33.420 if the EU
00:09:34.480 wanted to decouple
00:09:35.400 from China.
00:09:37.360 And it made me wonder,
00:09:39.000 I'm starting to see
00:09:40.140 a pattern here.
00:09:42.960 It's like,
00:09:43.700 it's like Germany
00:09:44.480 has a theme.
00:09:46.980 It's like they have
00:09:47.860 a theme.
00:09:48.900 I think Germany's
00:09:49.840 theme is,
00:09:50.940 if I may paraphrase it,
00:09:52.400 trusting the wrong
00:09:54.360 people.
00:09:56.540 What is up
00:09:57.360 with Germany
00:09:57.980 trusting the wrong
00:09:59.560 people?
00:10:00.020 Let me give you
00:10:00.480 an example.
00:10:01.780 They trusted
00:10:02.400 Greta Thunberg
00:10:03.520 and then started
00:10:04.640 closing their
00:10:05.300 nuclear plants
00:10:06.120 and then ran
00:10:07.740 out of electricity.
00:10:09.780 They are trusting
00:10:11.920 Putin to have
00:10:13.560 a pipeline
00:10:14.180 and give them
00:10:14.980 some gas.
00:10:17.140 That seems like
00:10:17.940 a bad idea,
00:10:19.380 trusting Putin.
00:10:20.340 And now
00:10:22.020 the CEO
00:10:23.240 of Volkswagen
00:10:24.900 says we should
00:10:25.800 trust China,
00:10:26.700 so that's
00:10:26.980 President Xi.
00:10:28.520 So let's say
00:10:29.060 Germany has
00:10:29.780 this pattern
00:10:30.340 of trusting
00:10:31.040 the wrong people.
00:10:32.880 So there's
00:10:33.460 Greta Thunberg,
00:10:35.640 Vladimir Putin,
00:10:37.820 President Xi.
00:10:39.880 I feel like
00:10:40.600 there's somebody
00:10:41.020 I'm forgetting.
00:10:42.760 Was there
00:10:43.080 anybody else
00:10:43.620 that Germany
00:10:44.220 trusted that
00:10:45.120 they shouldn't
00:10:45.780 have historically?
00:10:47.740 I don't know.
00:10:48.780 Kaiser Wilhelm,
00:10:49.520 Kaiser Wilhelm.
00:10:51.460 I feel like
00:10:51.980 there's still one
00:10:52.780 I'm missing.
00:10:53.980 I don't know.
00:10:54.620 If you can think
00:10:55.240 of it,
00:10:56.220 get back to me
00:10:56.880 on that.
00:10:57.720 Speaking of
00:10:58.300 mass formation
00:10:59.020 psychosis,
00:11:00.460 several of you
00:11:01.540 quite reasonably,
00:11:03.720 quite reasonably,
00:11:05.260 criticized my
00:11:06.500 opinion on it.
00:11:08.560 Now,
00:11:09.040 should you be
00:11:10.100 surprised that
00:11:10.780 I just said
00:11:11.340 that the critics
00:11:12.240 were quite reasonable?
00:11:14.040 Well,
00:11:14.260 you should be
00:11:14.780 because I have
00:11:16.000 it on good authority
00:11:16.840 that I have
00:11:17.800 never,
00:11:18.780 ever,
00:11:19.520 ever
00:11:19.920 admitted I was
00:11:21.480 wrong.
00:11:22.760 But I'm doing it
00:11:23.600 now.
00:11:24.700 I think my
00:11:25.300 critics were
00:11:25.800 correct.
00:11:26.320 I should have
00:11:26.900 done more
00:11:27.320 reading on this
00:11:28.040 mass formation
00:11:28.820 psychosis before
00:11:30.420 brushing it aside
00:11:31.340 as nonsense.
00:11:33.100 So yesterday,
00:11:33.840 I did a deep
00:11:34.520 dive,
00:11:35.980 you know,
00:11:36.500 back to the
00:11:37.020 original source,
00:11:38.740 find out what he
00:11:39.380 said,
00:11:39.800 et cetera.
00:11:40.120 And this
00:11:42.640 thing is way
00:11:43.260 scarier than I
00:11:44.220 thought.
00:11:45.500 So I sort of
00:11:46.800 brushed it aside
00:11:47.820 as simply new
00:11:49.880 words for
00:11:50.560 something we
00:11:51.140 already knew,
00:11:52.060 that people are
00:11:53.420 irrational and
00:11:54.340 it's easy to get
00:11:55.200 them worked up
00:11:55.780 about anything.
00:11:56.920 So I thought it
00:11:57.800 wasn't adding a
00:11:58.620 thing.
00:11:59.920 And then I
00:12:00.540 looked into it
00:12:01.300 and saw the
00:12:01.820 full presentation
00:12:02.500 and it's really
00:12:05.020 scary.
00:12:06.720 It's really
00:12:07.540 scary.
00:12:08.020 scary, but
00:12:09.600 not in the
00:12:10.860 way you think.
00:12:13.280 So let's dig
00:12:14.520 into that.
00:12:15.260 So mass
00:12:15.620 formation
00:12:16.040 psychosis, the
00:12:17.620 idea is that
00:12:19.300 when people are
00:12:20.820 afraid, let's
00:12:21.820 say there's a
00:12:22.440 totalitarian
00:12:23.180 government and
00:12:24.540 just tells them
00:12:25.240 there's something
00:12:25.720 to be afraid
00:12:26.280 of, there's
00:12:27.320 some entity
00:12:27.960 or some
00:12:29.880 other that
00:12:31.120 they should be
00:12:31.540 afraid of.
00:12:32.980 That would get
00:12:33.720 people in a
00:12:35.100 irrational sense
00:12:36.280 of fear.
00:12:37.480 And then they
00:12:37.860 will grab
00:12:38.560 onto whatever
00:12:40.320 the leaders
00:12:40.960 tell them
00:12:41.540 because they
00:12:42.500 need some
00:12:42.920 kind of
00:12:43.260 certainty and
00:12:43.840 confidence.
00:12:44.460 They can't
00:12:44.960 handle the
00:12:45.620 unknown part
00:12:46.900 of it.
00:12:47.720 Now this
00:12:48.040 can be
00:12:48.340 exacerbated,
00:12:49.200 says the
00:12:49.560 theory, by
00:12:50.920 social
00:12:52.640 isolation.
00:12:55.140 And some
00:12:55.540 would say
00:12:55.900 that the
00:12:56.280 pandemic is
00:12:57.600 exacerbating the
00:12:58.560 social isolation.
00:13:00.860 So, so
00:13:01.900 far, every
00:13:02.640 bit of this I
00:13:03.280 agree with.
00:13:04.580 But it's
00:13:05.000 also ordinary.
00:13:05.820 If you
00:13:06.940 were a, oh,
00:13:10.400 I should have
00:13:10.760 added this
00:13:11.200 one.
00:13:12.200 We have a
00:13:12.800 new asshole
00:13:13.300 on YouTube.
00:13:15.220 So I
00:13:15.840 forgot to
00:13:16.320 add when I
00:13:16.800 was mocking
00:13:17.320 my critics,
00:13:18.700 that if you
00:13:19.360 find yourself
00:13:19.940 in the hole,
00:13:20.560 stop digging,
00:13:21.360 Scott.
00:13:22.500 So let me
00:13:23.300 revise.
00:13:24.280 Let's go back.
00:13:25.200 My critics are
00:13:25.820 so good.
00:13:26.280 that, so
00:13:30.060 what I'm
00:13:30.640 doing is I'm
00:13:32.380 coping because
00:13:33.440 I'm afraid of
00:13:34.140 the koof, I'm
00:13:35.080 wrong on all
00:13:35.660 the things I've
00:13:36.340 never said.
00:13:37.380 I'm refusing to
00:13:38.280 accept the
00:13:38.840 L, I'm in a
00:13:39.960 hole, I keep
00:13:40.700 on digging, and
00:13:42.540 everyone's dunking
00:13:43.540 on me, and I'm
00:13:44.300 marinating in my
00:13:45.040 ratio.
00:13:45.560 But thank you
00:13:45.980 for that update.
00:13:47.580 So back to
00:13:48.080 mass formation
00:13:48.760 psychosis.
00:13:51.780 So yes, we
00:13:52.720 have all the
00:13:53.180 conditions for
00:13:53.840 mass formation
00:13:55.240 psychosis, but
00:13:57.040 I will say
00:13:58.400 that anybody
00:13:58.960 who had a
00:13:59.380 background in
00:14:00.220 psychology or
00:14:01.800 persuasion or
00:14:03.580 hypnosis would
00:14:05.260 be completely
00:14:06.120 familiar with
00:14:06.900 this mass
00:14:07.420 formation psychosis
00:14:08.520 thing.
00:14:10.160 There wouldn't
00:14:10.760 be actually
00:14:11.380 anything new
00:14:12.940 in this, like
00:14:13.720 actually nothing
00:14:14.320 new.
00:14:15.900 Now, do you
00:14:16.520 believe me?
00:14:18.000 How many
00:14:18.540 believe me when
00:14:19.700 I say that if
00:14:20.660 anybody studied
00:14:21.460 even a little
00:14:22.180 bit in this
00:14:23.020 field, you
00:14:24.340 would know
00:14:24.760 completely this
00:14:25.600 whole mass
00:14:26.180 formation
00:14:26.640 psychosis?
00:14:27.560 All of the
00:14:28.100 parts of it are
00:14:28.820 just ordinary.
00:14:30.620 Have I ever
00:14:31.060 told you that
00:14:31.800 fear is the
00:14:33.320 strongest
00:14:33.920 persuader?
00:14:35.600 Of course.
00:14:36.420 Of course I
00:14:36.940 have.
00:14:37.460 Lots of times.
00:14:38.600 Have I ever
00:14:39.140 told you that if
00:14:39.860 people are
00:14:40.620 uncertain, they'll
00:14:42.100 gravitate to a
00:14:43.200 confident voice?
00:14:45.200 I don't know if I
00:14:46.020 ever told you
00:14:46.500 that, but that's
00:14:47.500 just basic
00:14:48.300 understanding within
00:14:49.500 the field.
00:14:50.020 So everything
00:14:51.860 that's in this
00:14:52.560 idea of the
00:14:53.660 mass formation
00:14:54.360 psychosis is
00:14:55.900 ordinary, but
00:14:57.580 real.
00:14:58.760 It's both
00:14:59.400 ordinary and
00:15:00.220 totally real,
00:15:01.560 every bit of
00:15:02.140 it.
00:15:02.800 So, do you
00:15:05.140 think I'm
00:15:05.680 debunking any
00:15:06.640 of it?
00:15:08.000 Does anybody
00:15:08.440 think I'm
00:15:08.940 debunking the
00:15:09.820 idea of a
00:15:11.160 mass formation
00:15:11.920 psychosis?
00:15:12.800 Either what
00:15:14.020 causes it, or
00:15:15.820 the fact that
00:15:16.500 we're in one
00:15:17.360 right now?
00:15:17.860 I'm not
00:15:18.780 debunking it,
00:15:19.420 right?
00:15:20.400 I'm wholly
00:15:21.720 accepting it
00:15:22.580 without change.
00:15:24.400 Completely
00:15:25.000 accepting 100%
00:15:26.240 of it.
00:15:27.760 But none of
00:15:28.720 it's scary, so
00:15:30.460 far, because
00:15:31.900 it's also our
00:15:33.060 normal situation.
00:15:35.340 Do you
00:15:35.560 remember when,
00:15:36.660 how many of
00:15:37.200 you are old
00:15:37.560 enough to
00:15:37.900 remember Reagan's
00:15:38.940 presidency?
00:15:40.120 Do you
00:15:40.320 remember the
00:15:40.660 Reagan presidency?
00:15:42.300 There were,
00:15:43.060 it was, he
00:15:43.880 was a fascist,
00:15:44.980 he was Hitler,
00:15:46.420 there were
00:15:47.040 riots in the
00:15:47.840 streets, and
00:15:48.620 it was a
00:15:48.960 mass psychosis.
00:15:50.600 It was a
00:15:51.240 mass formation
00:15:52.040 psychosis.
00:15:54.120 Do you
00:15:54.700 remember weapons
00:15:55.360 of mass
00:15:55.740 destruction?
00:15:58.060 And 9-11?
00:16:00.360 Those were
00:16:01.060 mass formation
00:16:01.960 psychoses.
00:16:03.120 Now, those
00:16:03.500 were based on
00:16:03.960 real stuff, at
00:16:04.900 least the 9-11
00:16:05.640 was real-ish,
00:16:07.480 depending on
00:16:08.840 your point of
00:16:09.280 view.
00:16:11.040 But that was
00:16:11.780 mass formation
00:16:12.480 psychosis.
00:16:13.580 Trump derangement
00:16:14.440 syndrome, mass
00:16:15.520 formation psychosis,
00:16:16.880 some would
00:16:18.340 say climate
00:16:18.940 change.
00:16:19.900 Now, you
00:16:20.280 would get a
00:16:20.700 disagreement of
00:16:21.400 opinion there.
00:16:22.380 Some would
00:16:22.820 say climate
00:16:23.280 change is a
00:16:24.100 real thing,
00:16:25.560 but on top
00:16:26.680 of it, there's
00:16:27.800 a mass
00:16:28.600 formation
00:16:29.060 psychosis.
00:16:30.660 Now, here's
00:16:31.780 my question to
00:16:32.480 you, and I'll
00:16:34.120 tell you why I'm
00:16:34.700 so afraid of
00:16:35.360 this thing.
00:16:37.000 Why are we all
00:16:37.940 talking about it
00:16:38.660 now?
00:16:39.660 It's not because
00:16:40.660 Dr. Malone
00:16:41.460 brought it up,
00:16:43.100 is it?
00:16:43.480 Because I
00:16:44.520 thought I was
00:16:45.160 seeing it before
00:16:46.480 he brought it
00:16:47.060 up.
00:16:47.240 Can you give me
00:16:47.680 a fact check
00:16:48.260 on that?
00:16:49.340 Fact check me.
00:16:50.320 He brought it
00:16:51.200 up after it was
00:16:52.260 already out there,
00:16:53.080 right?
00:16:53.680 True, right?
00:16:54.740 So it wasn't
00:16:55.420 because he brought
00:16:56.300 it up on Joe
00:16:56.840 Rogan, which
00:16:57.440 would make
00:16:57.940 anything get a
00:16:58.840 lot of attention,
00:16:59.940 but it was
00:17:00.440 already out there.
00:17:01.060 Now, why is it
00:17:02.900 already, why is it
00:17:04.040 out there now?
00:17:05.960 Why is it a big
00:17:06.740 topic that's
00:17:07.500 trending now?
00:17:08.540 Now, when I
00:17:11.340 watched one
00:17:11.940 presentation of
00:17:12.760 it, the
00:17:13.400 implication was
00:17:14.680 that there's
00:17:15.660 some kind of
00:17:16.280 ruling elite
00:17:17.500 that are unnamed
00:17:19.020 and that that
00:17:20.400 ruling elite is
00:17:21.500 acting sort of
00:17:22.380 like a dictator,
00:17:25.600 effectively, and
00:17:27.080 that it's putting
00:17:27.860 people into this
00:17:28.940 menticide situation
00:17:32.220 where they don't
00:17:33.300 believe any of
00:17:33.980 the news,
00:17:34.680 everything's BS,
00:17:35.960 so they don't
00:17:36.660 know what's true,
00:17:37.500 and then they're
00:17:37.920 easy to manipulate.
00:17:42.240 So all of
00:17:43.560 that's happening.
00:17:47.020 But do you
00:17:47.740 think that there
00:17:48.300 is actually an
00:17:49.220 elite group who
00:17:50.300 are making actual
00:17:51.480 conscious decisions
00:17:52.640 to do this?
00:17:54.240 And who are the
00:17:54.900 elites?
00:17:55.280 Are they Democrats
00:17:55.900 or are they
00:17:56.760 Republicans?
00:17:58.380 Or is this
00:17:59.280 priming us for
00:18:00.240 Trump, in case
00:18:01.640 Trump runs again?
00:18:03.280 Is this saying,
00:18:04.060 hey, watch out,
00:18:05.020 this is how
00:18:05.780 dictatorships get
00:18:07.020 formed, and
00:18:07.920 so you've got to
00:18:08.540 watch out for
00:18:09.060 Trump?
00:18:10.520 Who is it
00:18:11.580 against?
00:18:13.700 Is the mass
00:18:15.020 formation psychosis
00:18:16.300 an attack on
00:18:17.500 the Democrat
00:18:19.600 elite?
00:18:21.880 You know, the
00:18:22.660 deep state, so to
00:18:23.520 speak?
00:18:23.920 Or is it a
00:18:25.160 preemptive attack
00:18:26.380 on whoever runs
00:18:28.620 as a Republican?
00:18:29.320 Reagan?
00:18:31.160 Why is it
00:18:31.920 out here now?
00:18:33.460 It was always
00:18:35.400 the case since
00:18:36.380 Reagan, and
00:18:37.540 none of it's
00:18:38.200 new, right?
00:18:39.100 None of these
00:18:39.800 ideas in this
00:18:40.760 mass formation
00:18:42.760 psychosis are
00:18:43.620 new.
00:18:44.360 Actually, they're
00:18:44.860 very old.
00:18:45.800 They're all very
00:18:46.520 old ideas.
00:18:47.640 So why are we
00:18:48.400 all talking about
00:18:49.140 it?
00:18:50.400 Do you know
00:18:50.740 where I'm going
00:18:51.160 with this?
00:18:51.560 there is some
00:18:54.520 force that put
00:18:56.980 this into our
00:18:57.640 heads, and
00:19:00.120 this is a
00:19:00.660 narrative.
00:19:02.100 What does it
00:19:02.900 mean when a
00:19:03.740 new narrative is
00:19:04.660 introduced?
00:19:05.840 Because the idea
00:19:06.680 of a mass
00:19:07.220 formation psychosis
00:19:08.340 is a narrative,
00:19:10.340 right?
00:19:11.500 It's a story to
00:19:13.140 explain something.
00:19:14.080 That's a narrative,
00:19:14.760 a story to explain
00:19:15.700 something.
00:19:16.240 It doesn't mean
00:19:16.720 it's true, or the
00:19:18.940 only story that can
00:19:19.880 explain something
00:19:20.680 is just one.
00:19:21.920 This is literally
00:19:22.820 a piece, not
00:19:23.720 literally, this is
00:19:25.000 a, like, a piece
00:19:27.420 of software that
00:19:28.380 has been slipped
00:19:29.980 into our operating
00:19:30.980 system.
00:19:32.500 So where some
00:19:33.840 of you were not
00:19:35.400 so aware that
00:19:36.240 there's a thing
00:19:36.760 called a mass
00:19:37.400 formation psychosis,
00:19:38.840 and you were
00:19:39.720 probably less aware
00:19:41.060 that it's something
00:19:43.260 you should worry
00:19:43.900 about at the
00:19:44.440 moment.
00:19:47.400 Scott's doing a
00:19:48.240 180?
00:19:48.700 No, wait for it.
00:19:49.640 Wait for it.
00:19:50.680 Wait for it.
00:19:52.760 Don't assume you
00:19:53.620 know where I'm
00:19:53.940 going.
00:19:56.460 So, here's my
00:19:57.920 concern.
00:19:59.080 My concern is
00:19:59.900 whoever introduced
00:20:00.940 the idea of the
00:20:01.940 mass formation
00:20:02.580 psychosis into the
00:20:03.840 public in a way
00:20:05.620 that made it
00:20:06.280 trend, etc.
00:20:07.920 I don't think that
00:20:09.300 happened organically.
00:20:10.460 Do you?
00:20:12.000 It could have.
00:20:13.360 Yeah, you can't
00:20:14.480 eliminate the
00:20:15.020 possibility that it
00:20:15.760 happened organically,
00:20:16.540 but it doesn't
00:20:17.680 have the smell of
00:20:19.180 an organic thing.
00:20:20.880 It has the smell
00:20:21.960 of something that
00:20:22.880 somebody pushed
00:20:24.260 into our software
00:20:25.220 because somebody,
00:20:28.380 and this would be
00:20:29.080 speculative, right?
00:20:30.540 It looks like
00:20:31.480 somebody has an
00:20:32.340 advantage, or
00:20:33.800 imagines an
00:20:34.600 advantage, for
00:20:36.440 making this a
00:20:37.760 program that runs
00:20:39.840 in your head such
00:20:41.260 that the next time
00:20:42.320 you see something,
00:20:43.140 you can fit it
00:20:44.280 into that frame.
00:20:45.540 Because until you
00:20:46.240 have the narrative,
00:20:47.900 the new things you
00:20:48.840 see in your
00:20:49.300 environment don't
00:20:50.120 fit into a story.
00:20:51.480 They're just things.
00:20:52.740 But now you have
00:20:53.280 a narrative, and
00:20:54.600 you see the new
00:20:55.240 thing might be
00:20:56.220 confirmation bias,
00:20:57.840 you might be
00:20:58.360 overinterpreting that
00:20:59.360 thing, but you're
00:21:00.500 going to add it to
00:21:01.140 your framework now
00:21:02.240 because it exists.
00:21:03.840 And this idea will
00:21:04.800 probably just keep
00:21:05.400 getting stronger
00:21:06.000 because you saw
00:21:06.620 what happened in
00:21:07.300 the last two weeks.
00:21:08.820 This whole idea
00:21:09.660 went from something
00:21:10.580 you hadn't heard of,
00:21:11.600 many of you,
00:21:13.140 to something that's
00:21:14.260 like the big thing
00:21:15.040 we all have to
00:21:15.680 worry about.
00:21:17.340 I don't believe
00:21:18.260 this is organic.
00:21:19.780 But it's also
00:21:20.700 unclear who would
00:21:21.700 do this.
00:21:23.780 It looks like it's
00:21:25.060 preemptive to take
00:21:26.860 Trump out, to get
00:21:28.480 people all worried
00:21:29.340 about Trump.
00:21:31.540 But here's the real
00:21:32.600 meta part.
00:21:33.300 Are you ready for
00:21:33.760 this?
00:21:35.200 So here, I'm going
00:21:36.360 to go super meta
00:21:37.260 here.
00:21:38.260 If that's, maybe I'm
00:21:39.540 using the word
00:21:40.100 wrong.
00:21:40.460 We'll find out.
00:21:40.960 But the mass
00:21:43.000 formation psychosis
00:21:43.940 says that one
00:21:45.000 way to control
00:21:45.620 people is to
00:21:46.380 scare them and
00:21:47.800 then give them
00:21:48.800 some certainty so
00:21:50.620 that their fear
00:21:51.240 goes away.
00:21:52.820 That's what the
00:21:54.300 mass formation
00:21:55.160 psychosis idea is
00:21:56.760 doing.
00:21:58.160 The mass formation
00:21:59.440 psychosis idea is
00:22:01.140 the fear.
00:22:02.640 It is the fear.
00:22:04.260 And it gives you
00:22:05.080 the reason, like the
00:22:06.940 explanation.
00:22:08.080 Here, here's
00:22:08.740 something really big
00:22:09.580 and scary to be
00:22:10.400 afraid of.
00:22:11.320 Hitler, Hitler,
00:22:12.360 Hitler, Hitler,
00:22:13.560 to be afraid of.
00:22:16.020 And here's the
00:22:17.800 solution.
00:22:20.860 Do you think it's a
00:22:22.040 coincidence that
00:22:23.000 they talked about
00:22:24.000 how scaring you
00:22:25.140 can manipulate you
00:22:26.480 and then gave you
00:22:27.740 a thing to scare
00:22:28.920 you and then
00:22:30.700 manipulated you
00:22:31.880 with it?
00:22:33.240 This is a little
00:22:34.440 bit too on the
00:22:35.540 nose, if you know
00:22:36.320 what I mean.
00:22:37.360 Like everything
00:22:38.080 about this topic
00:22:39.540 smells of
00:22:40.980 intentional.
00:22:42.360 It does not
00:22:42.960 smell organic.
00:22:44.640 So, if you
00:22:45.960 said to yourself,
00:22:46.820 hey, there's this
00:22:48.040 thing called
00:22:48.480 mass formation
00:22:49.260 psychosis, I
00:22:50.660 should learn about
00:22:51.420 it and then I
00:22:52.140 should incorporate
00:22:52.820 it into my
00:22:53.640 point of view,
00:22:54.640 I feel like you've
00:22:56.020 been brainwashed.
00:22:57.740 Because there's
00:22:58.440 nothing here.
00:23:00.260 The mass formation
00:23:01.520 psychosis adds
00:23:02.540 nothing.
00:23:03.960 Nothing.
00:23:04.240 It's all a
00:23:05.400 bunch of stuff
00:23:05.900 everybody in the
00:23:07.140 field has known
00:23:07.960 forever.
00:23:09.120 There's not a
00:23:09.780 single new idea
00:23:10.800 here and it has
00:23:12.960 nothing to do with
00:23:13.800 the current moment.
00:23:15.780 Here's one of the
00:23:16.420 ways you know
00:23:16.980 something is a fake.
00:23:18.220 I've told you this
00:23:18.800 technique before.
00:23:20.200 If they say five
00:23:21.260 things that are
00:23:21.880 true and then slip
00:23:23.660 in one that you
00:23:24.280 know isn't, then
00:23:26.220 you know it's
00:23:26.600 brainwashing.
00:23:28.160 Right?
00:23:29.300 Right.
00:23:29.820 You could call that
00:23:30.760 the Hannity trick.
00:23:32.120 But he's not the
00:23:32.700 only one that does
00:23:33.300 it.
00:23:34.360 You see it on the
00:23:35.340 left and the right.
00:23:36.320 You'll say a bunch of
00:23:37.120 things that are true
00:23:37.820 and people will go
00:23:38.500 huh, uh-huh, uh-huh
00:23:39.440 and you'll slip one
00:23:40.840 in there that's not
00:23:42.180 quite true.
00:23:43.340 Here's the one that's
00:23:44.140 not quite true.
00:23:46.140 We are socially
00:23:47.260 isolated and
00:23:48.820 therefore more
00:23:50.200 susceptible to BS
00:23:51.760 and believing things
00:23:53.240 that are not true.
00:23:55.160 That's not true.
00:23:56.660 We're not socially
00:23:57.480 isolated.
00:23:58.760 We might be
00:23:59.440 physically isolated
00:24:00.580 but with social
00:24:01.900 media we are more
00:24:03.080 connected than at
00:24:04.060 any time in human
00:24:04.860 history.
00:24:05.340 By far.
00:24:06.380 Not even close.
00:24:07.960 And if the point is
00:24:09.200 how do you know
00:24:09.920 that something's true
00:24:10.760 or not unless you've
00:24:12.440 got somebody showing
00:24:13.280 you the counterpoint,
00:24:14.900 social media is
00:24:15.800 nothing but a bunch
00:24:16.660 of counterpoints.
00:24:18.360 Social media is the
00:24:19.460 opposite of what
00:24:21.320 mass formation
00:24:22.060 psychosis would
00:24:23.060 require.
00:24:24.500 Mass formation
00:24:25.140 psychosis requires you
00:24:26.420 not to have access
00:24:27.500 to the entire world
00:24:28.960 to tell you you're
00:24:29.780 wrong.
00:24:30.060 But social media
00:24:31.340 gives you access
00:24:31.960 to the whole world.
00:24:32.940 Now the problem is
00:24:33.780 you get in your bubble.
00:24:35.460 If you're in your bubble
00:24:36.520 social media doesn't
00:24:37.500 work to help you at
00:24:38.300 all.
00:24:38.860 It just makes
00:24:39.280 everything worse.
00:24:41.360 But I reject the idea
00:24:43.060 that we are socially
00:24:44.240 isolated in a way that
00:24:45.580 would make mass
00:24:46.280 formation psychosis
00:24:47.340 worse.
00:24:48.400 In fact the entire
00:24:49.840 all right let me give
00:24:52.280 you the let me give
00:24:53.580 you my best guess
00:24:54.960 what's going on here.
00:24:55.820 there is one entity
00:24:58.260 that would benefit
00:24:59.280 the most
00:25:00.020 two entities
00:25:01.460 actually
00:25:01.880 collectively
00:25:02.720 that would benefit
00:25:04.020 the most from
00:25:04.880 making you think
00:25:05.680 that mass formation
00:25:06.640 psychosis
00:25:07.400 is the thing
00:25:09.000 you should focus
00:25:09.740 on.
00:25:10.960 Imagine it as
00:25:12.160 a diversion.
00:25:14.000 Imagine it as
00:25:14.740 taking your mind
00:25:15.500 away from something
00:25:16.440 that somebody
00:25:16.980 doesn't want you
00:25:17.560 to think about.
00:25:18.860 What is it that's
00:25:19.980 happening in the world
00:25:20.860 that's big
00:25:21.540 that there's some
00:25:23.340 entity or entities
00:25:24.260 that don't want you
00:25:24.980 to think about it
00:25:25.860 but they'd rather
00:25:26.800 you concentrate
00:25:27.460 on this new idea
00:25:28.740 this whole
00:25:29.920 this mass formation
00:25:31.780 psychosis.
00:25:33.040 And the answer is
00:25:34.060 the news business.
00:25:36.640 The news business.
00:25:38.520 Because you know
00:25:38.960 what the other
00:25:39.520 the alternative
00:25:40.460 explanation
00:25:41.240 for mass formation
00:25:43.180 psychosis
00:25:43.780 what is the
00:25:45.220 alternative explanation
00:25:46.580 for everything
00:25:47.240 you see
00:25:47.860 without
00:25:49.160 without ever needing
00:25:50.520 mass formation
00:25:51.600 psychosis.
00:25:53.180 Fake news.
00:25:54.260 fake news
00:25:56.020 gives you
00:25:56.540 everything
00:25:57.000 that mass formation
00:25:59.120 psychosis promises.
00:26:01.380 It gives you
00:26:02.500 fear.
00:26:04.340 It gives you
00:26:05.560 certainty
00:26:06.520 that you
00:26:07.160 latch onto
00:26:08.100 even though
00:26:08.620 it's not true.
00:26:10.600 Right?
00:26:11.940 So if I had to guess
00:26:13.660 somebody who is
00:26:14.980 involved with
00:26:15.640 either social media
00:26:16.940 misinformation
00:26:17.960 or the news
00:26:20.180 and fake news
00:26:21.100 wants you to think
00:26:22.400 that you should
00:26:22.880 really be looking
00:26:23.560 at this new
00:26:24.320 smart idea
00:26:25.720 called mass formation
00:26:26.840 psychosis
00:26:27.500 and don't
00:26:28.420 concentrate so much
00:26:29.540 on the fact
00:26:30.120 that your
00:26:30.980 algorithms are
00:26:31.980 rigged
00:26:32.480 allegedly
00:26:33.160 and your
00:26:34.880 news is fake
00:26:36.860 intentionally.
00:26:39.560 Am I right?
00:26:41.480 Doesn't mass formation
00:26:43.000 psychosis
00:26:43.680 seem like an
00:26:44.440 empty theory
00:26:45.240 that has no
00:26:46.460 purpose other
00:26:47.080 than to distract
00:26:48.160 you from the
00:26:49.160 obvious problem
00:26:50.000 that the news
00:26:50.860 is lying to you.
00:26:53.160 Am I right?
00:26:55.680 I mean I can't
00:26:56.480 say that anybody
00:26:57.080 did that with
00:26:57.660 intention.
00:26:58.660 I'm just saying
00:26:59.400 it reeks
00:27:00.420 it reeks
00:27:01.540 of intention.
00:27:03.240 I don't have
00:27:03.800 any evidence
00:27:04.240 of it
00:27:04.620 but it reeks
00:27:05.620 of it.
00:27:07.620 All right.
00:27:09.240 Rasmussen
00:27:09.720 asked
00:27:10.380 did a poll
00:27:11.280 and asked
00:27:11.800 if people
00:27:12.580 if they thought
00:27:13.000 the January 6th
00:27:13.820 riot at the
00:27:14.340 Capitol
00:27:14.640 represents a threat
00:27:16.440 to American
00:27:17.060 democracy.
00:27:18.640 Huh.
00:27:19.980 A threat
00:27:20.580 to American
00:27:21.980 democracy.
00:27:23.280 Well that would
00:27:23.780 be a scary
00:27:24.940 thing.
00:27:26.760 What would
00:27:27.620 help the public
00:27:28.720 if there was
00:27:29.820 a scary thing
00:27:30.900 and they felt
00:27:32.140 all uncertain?
00:27:33.560 Well how about
00:27:34.840 the left
00:27:35.360 gives you an
00:27:36.000 answer and says
00:27:36.640 it's an insurrection
00:27:37.440 and puts some
00:27:38.640 of those scary
00:27:39.220 people in jail.
00:27:40.600 Now you'll feel
00:27:41.080 better won't you?
00:27:42.460 You're concerned
00:27:43.580 about this
00:27:44.860 happening again?
00:27:46.440 Well in the
00:27:47.620 answer to the
00:27:48.000 question 35%
00:27:49.140 of the people
00:27:49.800 said that the
00:27:51.620 riot on January
00:27:52.340 6th was a
00:27:53.140 threat to the
00:27:53.720 American democracy
00:27:54.580 but 43% said
00:27:57.720 no.
00:27:58.700 That's a pretty
00:27:59.540 substantial difference
00:28:00.680 and 21% said
00:28:02.980 not sure.
00:28:04.760 So a full
00:28:05.440 64% of the
00:28:08.260 public is
00:28:09.560 either not
00:28:10.540 concerned or
00:28:12.160 definitely isn't
00:28:13.020 worried about
00:28:14.000 the Capitol
00:28:14.960 riot.
00:28:16.440 and we're
00:28:18.620 still doing
00:28:19.340 an entire
00:28:20.340 committee
00:28:21.900 investigation
00:28:22.740 about the
00:28:23.700 thing that
00:28:24.060 64% of the
00:28:25.140 country thinks
00:28:25.820 isn't even a
00:28:26.400 thing.
00:28:29.340 Why would
00:28:30.420 the fake
00:28:30.840 news and
00:28:31.660 the liars
00:28:32.920 in Congress
00:28:33.540 want you to
00:28:34.120 be thinking
00:28:34.540 about a
00:28:34.920 mass formation
00:28:35.620 psychosis?
00:28:36.820 Because they
00:28:37.500 don't want to
00:28:38.080 tell you that
00:28:38.640 they're lying
00:28:39.180 about January
00:28:39.840 6th right in
00:28:40.680 front of you.
00:28:41.560 It's fake
00:28:42.000 news.
00:28:42.340 You don't
00:28:43.680 need any
00:28:44.120 complexity to
00:28:44.940 understand that
00:28:45.560 if the news
00:28:46.260 is lying to
00:28:47.000 you, you've
00:28:47.920 got some
00:28:48.280 trouble.
00:28:50.680 Sure enough.
00:28:52.040 All right, I
00:28:52.540 did a thread
00:28:52.980 today about
00:28:53.780 systems.
00:28:55.260 As you know,
00:28:56.340 I am somewhat
00:28:57.260 well known for
00:28:58.300 saying that
00:28:58.720 systems are
00:28:59.500 better than
00:28:59.860 goals.
00:29:00.940 And a good
00:29:01.340 system is a
00:29:02.760 great thing.
00:29:03.420 Here are some
00:29:03.740 good systems.
00:29:04.620 Capitalism is a
00:29:05.280 good system.
00:29:06.280 Lots of flaws.
00:29:07.100 But one of
00:29:08.140 the great
00:29:08.380 things about
00:29:08.800 capitalism is
00:29:09.540 you can populate
00:29:10.780 capitalism with
00:29:12.240 a bunch of
00:29:12.760 defective human
00:29:13.660 beings and
00:29:15.200 somehow it
00:29:16.440 still works.
00:29:17.640 At least it
00:29:18.140 works better than
00:29:18.700 the alternatives,
00:29:19.400 right?
00:29:19.980 So you can
00:29:20.480 take defective
00:29:21.320 humans, put
00:29:22.120 them into this
00:29:22.680 system called
00:29:23.380 capitalism, and
00:29:25.020 somehow the
00:29:25.580 system corrects
00:29:27.980 on average for
00:29:28.860 all these defects
00:29:29.820 and gives you
00:29:30.500 some kind of a
00:29:31.300 generally good
00:29:32.500 result over the
00:29:33.440 long term.
00:29:34.700 Democracy and
00:29:35.640 the republic are a
00:29:36.640 lot like that.
00:29:37.100 too.
00:29:37.320 You can take
00:29:37.720 all these
00:29:38.160 uninformed,
00:29:40.940 you know, not
00:29:41.620 too smart
00:29:42.120 citizens, plug
00:29:43.440 them into this
00:29:44.060 system called
00:29:44.860 democracy, the
00:29:46.160 republic, and
00:29:47.620 it sort of
00:29:48.620 works, which
00:29:51.160 doesn't make
00:29:51.680 sense, you
00:29:52.400 know, if you
00:29:52.740 looked at it on
00:29:53.360 paper, how do
00:29:54.360 you put a
00:29:54.660 bunch of dumb
00:29:55.180 people into a
00:29:55.900 system and
00:29:57.180 then get a
00:29:57.640 good result?
00:29:58.260 But it does.
00:29:59.200 It's sort of a
00:30:00.220 self-correcting
00:30:01.140 system.
00:30:02.220 At the very
00:30:02.620 least, it gives
00:30:03.180 you a credible
00:30:03.860 outcome, even if
00:30:05.040 it's not a good
00:30:05.560 one.
00:30:05.720 So those are
00:30:07.100 good systems.
00:30:07.680 Also, the
00:30:08.080 justice system is
00:30:08.900 good because you
00:30:10.000 can take ordinary
00:30:10.820 citizens with all
00:30:12.340 of their defects, put
00:30:14.280 them on a trial, on
00:30:16.080 a jury, and you
00:30:17.700 generally get pretty
00:30:18.920 credible results.
00:30:20.600 So those are three
00:30:21.340 systems that we've
00:30:22.520 had great experience
00:30:23.480 with putting
00:30:24.480 defective humans
00:30:25.480 into them, and
00:30:26.280 still it sort of
00:30:27.680 self-corrects, which
00:30:28.940 is amazing if you
00:30:30.720 think about it.
00:30:31.380 I mean, how hard
00:30:33.400 is it to correct
00:30:34.100 a system where
00:30:35.500 you put garbage in
00:30:36.840 and you get gold
00:30:37.860 out?
00:30:39.100 I just told you
00:30:39.740 three of them.
00:30:41.080 We have three
00:30:42.120 major systems where
00:30:43.540 we can feed it
00:30:44.260 garbage and it
00:30:44.900 turns into gold.
00:30:46.300 We can feed it
00:30:47.220 stupidity and it
00:30:48.000 turns into reasonably
00:30:49.100 good decisions compared
00:30:50.980 to the alternatives.
00:30:52.340 Lots of problems,
00:30:53.440 of course, but kind
00:30:54.900 of amazing.
00:30:55.340 Now, contrast
00:30:56.780 that to social
00:30:57.800 media.
00:30:59.600 Take a bunch of
00:31:00.540 flawed human beings
00:31:01.600 and give them
00:31:02.860 social media
00:31:03.660 accounts.
00:31:04.880 Does the social
00:31:05.620 media act like
00:31:06.600 these other
00:31:07.060 systems and take
00:31:08.500 these flawed
00:31:09.320 humans and sort
00:31:10.740 of over time
00:31:11.620 correct for their
00:31:13.160 excesses?
00:31:14.600 No, it does the
00:31:15.500 opposite.
00:31:16.680 It exacerbates
00:31:17.660 them.
00:31:18.840 So social media
00:31:19.660 is a system that
00:31:20.760 takes the flaws
00:31:21.780 of humans and
00:31:22.760 accelerates them.
00:31:23.780 It exacerbates
00:31:25.920 them.
00:31:27.140 Am I right?
00:31:28.140 So the system
00:31:29.060 is not by design
00:31:30.760 per se, but where
00:31:32.080 it evolved to, is
00:31:33.500 the opposite of a
00:31:34.500 good system.
00:31:35.840 And so rather than
00:31:37.120 complaining, I
00:31:37.840 thought I'd suggest
00:31:38.700 some ways to tweak
00:31:40.740 it.
00:31:41.720 So here are some
00:31:42.280 ways we could tweak
00:31:43.320 our information
00:31:44.220 getting systems.
00:31:45.880 So I'm going to
00:31:46.280 say that the news
00:31:47.020 business plus social
00:31:48.080 media are collectively
00:31:49.700 a system for getting
00:31:51.760 accurate information
00:31:52.740 to the public.
00:31:53.780 So that system
00:31:55.360 could be tweaked.
00:31:56.860 I would recommend
00:31:57.760 the following tweaks
00:31:58.720 because I don't
00:31:59.800 think we need to go
00:32:00.480 through a legal
00:32:01.120 constitutional process
00:32:02.620 to do this.
00:32:03.660 Number one, stop
00:32:05.900 calling anonymous
00:32:06.800 sources anonymous
00:32:07.800 sources.
00:32:08.920 You can say that
00:32:09.700 they're anonymous,
00:32:10.860 but instead of
00:32:11.760 calling them anonymous
00:32:12.560 sources, we should
00:32:13.460 all agree to call
00:32:14.300 them unreliable
00:32:15.340 sources.
00:32:17.060 Because they are.
00:32:19.300 Imagine the news
00:32:20.660 if every time they
00:32:22.480 have an anonymous
00:32:23.200 source, they tell
00:32:24.020 you it's anonymous
00:32:24.640 because that's just
00:32:25.780 part of the story.
00:32:27.040 But they also say,
00:32:28.580 and based on this
00:32:29.500 unreliable source,
00:32:32.780 they should call them
00:32:34.660 unreliable.
00:32:37.100 Right?
00:32:38.380 Wouldn't that help?
00:32:39.680 It just has a standard
00:32:41.060 for social media and a
00:32:42.780 standard for the news
00:32:43.960 to simply say that if
00:32:45.780 something is anonymous,
00:32:46.880 the source is, it is
00:32:48.540 also by definition
00:32:49.860 unreliable.
00:32:52.860 Somebody says
00:32:53.580 unverifiable.
00:32:56.060 That's not good
00:32:56.960 enough.
00:32:58.100 Not good enough.
00:32:59.040 Unverifiable is true
00:33:00.240 and maybe even more
00:33:01.360 accurate, but it's not
00:33:02.420 good enough.
00:33:03.540 I think you have to go
00:33:04.300 all the way to
00:33:04.860 unreliable because we've
00:33:06.960 had so much trouble
00:33:07.940 with it.
00:33:09.040 If we never had
00:33:10.100 trouble with it, I
00:33:10.920 would go with
00:33:11.420 unverifiable because
00:33:13.540 that just sits there.
00:33:14.600 But unreliable does
00:33:17.900 more work.
00:33:19.220 Unreliable says we've
00:33:20.160 had trouble with this
00:33:20.980 in the past.
00:33:22.140 Why wouldn't we have
00:33:22.880 trouble in the future?
00:33:24.500 Right?
00:33:26.320 Unverified might not
00:33:27.160 be a problem.
00:33:27.900 You just don't know
00:33:28.540 one way or the other.
00:33:29.220 But this is definitely
00:33:29.880 a problem.
00:33:30.600 So go with unreliable.
00:33:32.720 Secondly, and this
00:33:33.820 one will take you some
00:33:34.620 thinking.
00:33:35.520 All right?
00:33:35.820 You might not
00:33:36.380 instantly embrace this.
00:33:38.580 We could agree, we
00:33:39.800 meaning the public and
00:33:41.060 the press and everybody
00:33:43.120 else, we could agree to
00:33:44.560 ignore claims, any
00:33:46.520 claim, that is not in
00:33:48.900 close proximity to the
00:33:50.460 fact check or the
00:33:52.000 criticisms.
00:33:52.960 Now what do I mean by
00:33:53.840 close proximity?
00:33:55.960 Well, Twitter is a good
00:33:56.960 example.
00:33:57.900 If I tweet something
00:33:58.920 that's false, in very
00:34:01.280 close proximity, there
00:34:02.660 will be almost
00:34:03.440 guaranteed a tweet
00:34:05.280 right below it, a
00:34:06.100 comment that says, no,
00:34:07.180 you're wrong, here's the
00:34:07.980 fact check.
00:34:08.460 So I think Twitter is a
00:34:11.040 reasonably good mechanism
00:34:13.040 for information, so long
00:34:16.540 as you read the
00:34:17.240 comments.
00:34:18.420 All right?
00:34:18.840 So we should agree to
00:34:19.920 read the comments.
00:34:21.260 Because in that model, the
00:34:23.000 claim and the counterclaim
00:34:24.920 are right next to each
00:34:25.940 other.
00:34:26.300 They're in close proximity.
00:34:27.940 That doesn't make you
00:34:29.100 smart, but at least it's a
00:34:31.520 good system.
00:34:32.740 Now compare that to the
00:34:34.420 Joe Rogan model of
00:34:36.860 interviewing one expert
00:34:38.140 for three hours.
00:34:39.940 If that expert talks for
00:34:41.440 three hours and covers all
00:34:42.780 kinds of different topics,
00:34:44.780 it is as far away as you
00:34:47.180 can get from the fact
00:34:49.140 check or the criticisms or
00:34:51.780 the counterclaims.
00:34:53.640 So my problem with the Joe
00:34:55.360 Rogan model is that it's
00:34:56.720 great entertainment,
00:34:58.680 obviously.
00:34:59.900 It's hugely successful.
00:35:01.680 It is informative.
00:35:04.420 Definitely informative.
00:35:07.260 But we should be smarter
00:35:09.640 consumers, and we should
00:35:10.960 treat that as entertainment.
00:35:13.580 If you came away from the
00:35:15.140 Joe Rogan show and said,
00:35:16.520 I learned some new things
00:35:17.600 about science, you
00:35:20.380 shouldn't.
00:35:22.020 What you should do is say,
00:35:23.980 I watched an entertaining
00:35:25.400 program with a doctor who
00:35:26.960 said some things that
00:35:28.680 counter the mainstream
00:35:29.760 narrative.
00:35:31.480 That's all you did.
00:35:32.560 You didn't get any
00:35:34.040 information.
00:35:35.400 To get information, you
00:35:36.920 would need the claim and the
00:35:38.480 counterclaim to be in close
00:35:40.080 proximity.
00:35:41.900 And then, and only then,
00:35:43.740 could you say, I learned a
00:35:45.420 new thing.
00:35:46.860 Because I saw the claim, I
00:35:48.420 looked at the counterclaim,
00:35:50.020 and I decided that the claim
00:35:51.440 was stronger than the
00:35:52.360 counterclaim.
00:35:52.820 Mark is saying, Scott's telling
00:35:57.280 us what to think.
00:35:59.000 Mark, you are officially too
00:36:00.680 dumb to be on this live
00:36:02.300 stream.
00:36:03.460 Because could the rest of you
00:36:04.880 confirm that I'm not telling
00:36:06.640 you what to think, but rather
00:36:08.700 the technique for thinking and
00:36:11.580 systems?
00:36:12.660 So Mark, you are officially too
00:36:14.220 dumb to be a member of this
00:36:16.180 conversation.
00:36:17.100 You will now be banned to
00:36:19.020 loserdom as I hide you on this
00:36:22.040 channel.
00:36:24.300 Telling you what to think.
00:36:26.020 I don't know why you're
00:36:26.900 watching.
00:36:29.560 Anyway, I do not have all the
00:36:32.900 answers for how to fix our
00:36:34.280 information systems.
00:36:36.200 But I put out some ideas, and I
00:36:39.980 would recommend that we sort of
00:36:42.720 promote a standard that says if
00:36:46.060 it's anonymous, it's also
00:36:47.240 unreliable.
00:36:48.140 And we should always say that.
00:36:49.380 And that if it's a claim that's
00:36:51.700 not in close proximity to fact
00:36:53.460 checkers, it's just
00:36:54.680 entertainment.
00:36:55.860 It could be valuable, and it
00:36:57.100 could give you information.
00:36:58.820 But you should not use it for
00:37:00.980 decision-making.
00:37:04.060 You should not use it for
00:37:05.740 decision-making.
00:37:07.040 Does anybody agree with that
00:37:08.220 standard?
00:37:09.760 Because it doesn't say anything
00:37:11.160 good or bad about Dr. Malone.
00:37:13.520 It just says that in that format,
00:37:15.520 you've got some entertainment and
00:37:18.120 some information, but not the
00:37:19.280 kind you can use.
00:37:21.140 Right?
00:37:21.380 You've got information, but here's
00:37:23.300 the key.
00:37:23.680 Not the kind you could use until
00:37:26.540 you see the counterclaims.
00:37:28.280 And then maybe.
00:37:29.540 Maybe.
00:37:31.280 So there might be some other ways
00:37:32.500 to go about this.
00:37:34.520 Anyway, I offered on Twitter,
00:37:38.900 because there are a lot of
00:37:39.940 supporters of Dr. Malone, and I
00:37:42.900 said this, I'll make you a deal.
00:37:44.720 I will watch the entire three-hour
00:37:46.580 Joe Rogan interview with Dr. Malone.
00:37:48.780 I've already started, so I'm part
00:37:50.300 way through it.
00:37:51.100 I'll watch the entire three hours.
00:37:53.920 But I would like you, or most of
00:37:56.860 you, to look at the fact-check on
00:38:00.880 Dr. Malone, the claims that
00:38:02.400 apparently got him kicked off of
00:38:04.920 Twitter.
00:38:05.460 I'll talk about those in a minute.
00:38:07.380 And I'm just asking you to look at
00:38:09.420 the counterclaims.
00:38:10.260 So I will agree to go through
00:38:13.600 three hours of that content.
00:38:15.800 I've already started.
00:38:17.000 I'm just going to ask you to look
00:38:18.220 at the counterclaims.
00:38:19.880 Now, did I just tell you that the
00:38:22.440 counterclaims are the correct ones?
00:38:24.700 Did you hear that?
00:38:26.960 I hope we didn't, because I'm going
00:38:30.180 to tell you that at least one of the
00:38:31.540 counterclaims is really bullshit.
00:38:34.360 Right?
00:38:35.300 So we're going to talk about the
00:38:36.880 counterclaimers also having some
00:38:39.140 issues, the fact-checkers, also some
00:38:41.920 issues.
00:38:42.700 So what I'm asking you is always look
00:38:44.620 at the fact-check as well as the
00:38:46.100 data.
00:38:46.740 I'm not telling you in this case that
00:38:48.360 the fact-check is the believable one.
00:38:52.280 I mean, it is, but that's not
00:38:54.880 today's topic.
00:38:57.900 I'll tell you honestly that I looked at
00:38:59.960 the fact-checks and I looked at the
00:39:02.020 claims, and the fact-checks do look
00:39:03.660 stronger than the claims.
00:39:04.840 Well, how could we judge, right?
00:39:07.820 If you're not an expert in any of that
00:39:09.300 stuff, how can you judge?
00:39:10.900 But one of the fact-checks did look
00:39:12.740 like bullshit.
00:39:13.400 We'll talk about that.
00:39:15.100 All right.
00:39:17.200 Pretty soon, I will see if I can get
00:39:19.660 kicked off of social media.
00:39:21.840 Now, the idea was, the bet that I'm
00:39:26.520 taking here, and we'll get to this, is
00:39:28.980 that social media is supporting one
00:39:33.500 narrative and suppressing another.
00:39:36.040 How many of you would say that that
00:39:37.620 would be true of these two topics?
00:39:39.840 The 2020 election integrity and
00:39:42.980 vaccine safety.
00:39:45.160 How many of you would say that the
00:39:46.940 official narratives are being
00:39:49.100 promoted, but any alternative
00:39:51.800 narratives, people are getting kicked
00:39:54.660 off?
00:39:55.020 Now, I want to make a distinction
00:39:59.580 between the algorithms, which might
00:40:02.280 de-boost things and boost others.
00:40:04.980 Can we all agree that the algorithms
00:40:06.820 appear to choose some narratives over
00:40:10.680 others?
00:40:12.200 Would we all agree with that?
00:40:13.840 That our lived experience, it sure
00:40:17.420 feels like it.
00:40:18.960 I mean, I've seen lots of examples, many
00:40:21.220 of them, many of the examples I've seen
00:40:23.600 didn't hold up to scrutiny.
00:40:25.760 But, I mean, you can smell it and feel
00:40:29.060 it.
00:40:29.900 It just feels like it couldn't be
00:40:31.640 anything but that, right?
00:40:33.580 Now, I would say that even the social
00:40:36.280 media companies would admit, they would
00:40:39.220 admit that they support the approved
00:40:42.980 narrative if science seems to support it
00:40:46.080 by consensus.
00:40:47.400 So you should see exactly that.
00:40:49.400 You should see the official narrative get
00:40:51.480 more boost, because the social media
00:40:53.760 companies tell you that directly.
00:40:55.720 We're going to boost the things we think
00:40:57.480 are true and have credibility, according
00:41:00.100 to them.
00:41:01.060 Maybe not to you, but according to them.
00:41:03.800 So let's not have any disagreement
00:41:06.200 today about whether the algorithms
00:41:09.320 are biased.
00:41:11.720 We'd all accept that, right?
00:41:13.100 Even if they're biased with good
00:41:15.800 intention, that part is debatable.
00:41:19.280 But there's no question that they're
00:41:20.640 biased toward the official narrative,
00:41:23.200 which the social media companies believe is
00:41:25.360 actually true and helpful and useful.
00:41:27.680 So, the thought is that if anybody goes
00:41:31.900 against the narrative on social media,
00:41:34.500 they will be banned.
00:41:35.840 Let me give you an example.
00:41:36.880 Marjorie Taylor Greene was permanently
00:41:38.620 suspended by Twitter.
00:41:40.960 Here are some things she said.
00:41:44.760 Apparently, she included a misleading...
00:41:47.960 Oh, she said that on Saturday she tweeted,
00:41:51.460 falsely, they say.
00:41:53.240 The claim is that this is false.
00:41:54.780 That there are, quote, extremely high amounts
00:41:57.560 of COVID vaccine deaths.
00:41:59.600 And then she included a...
00:42:01.400 What is called by the fact-checkers
00:42:03.100 a misleading chart that showed information
00:42:06.220 from a government database, the VAERS database.
00:42:08.680 You all know about that.
00:42:10.060 Now, the VAERS database is not confirmed problems,
00:42:13.720 but rather suspected or possible problems.
00:42:18.820 And it has a lot of activity
00:42:20.380 with the recent vaccinations.
00:42:22.540 So, New York Times is fact-checking her
00:42:24.620 on that, as did Twitter,
00:42:26.780 saying that that VAERS database
00:42:28.400 is a decades-old system
00:42:30.640 that relies on self-reporting.
00:42:32.940 And so, when Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:42:34.620 showed that that was evidence
00:42:36.120 of a lot of COVID deaths,
00:42:38.820 that she had to get kicked off.
00:42:42.000 But is anything missing from this story?
00:42:44.380 Do you know what I would have liked to see
00:42:47.240 in this New York Times story?
00:42:48.780 I would have liked to them to say,
00:42:51.660 what is normal for a vaccine rollout?
00:42:56.600 Does the VAERS database normally get this much attention?
00:43:01.880 Or is the fact that the VAERS database...
00:43:04.880 If it is, I don't know if this is even true.
00:43:06.980 If the VAERS database has more reports,
00:43:10.080 let's say, you know, by a factor of 10,
00:43:13.320 and I have no reason to believe that's true,
00:43:14.940 but just hypothetically.
00:43:17.320 Would the New York Times have some obligation to tell you,
00:43:20.540 no, you cannot rely on the VAERS database for certainty,
00:43:24.160 but when it's...
00:43:25.340 And again, this is hypothetical.
00:43:27.120 But when it's 10 times as big
00:43:29.140 as any other vaccine that was rolled out,
00:43:31.740 that's not true.
00:43:32.500 These are hypotheticals.
00:43:35.440 It's notable.
00:43:37.980 Don't you think the New York Times
00:43:39.580 is selling a narrative
00:43:41.940 as opposed to doing a fact check?
00:43:44.460 Because I think if it were a fact check,
00:43:46.600 they'd say, yes, it's true
00:43:48.140 that there is an alarming number of reports
00:43:51.140 in the VAERS database.
00:43:52.760 But you must understand
00:43:54.200 that the pandemic is getting a lot of attention,
00:43:57.800 and there might be some over-reporting.
00:44:00.000 Possible.
00:44:00.840 There might be some under-reporting.
00:44:03.080 Possible.
00:44:05.220 So although you should not take it as the final word,
00:44:08.240 if the VAERS database reporting
00:44:10.520 is way out of line with what one might expect,
00:44:14.460 that should be taken as a signal
00:44:16.300 to research more reliable data.
00:44:21.360 That's what a fact check would look like.
00:44:23.700 This wasn't a fact check.
00:44:27.460 And by the way,
00:44:28.580 I'm not supporting Marjorie Taylor Greene's interpretation
00:44:30.880 because I think she, too,
00:44:33.240 should have softened her assertions
00:44:36.980 to what we know to be true.
00:44:40.500 Now, I would say that this is a case
00:44:42.300 of Marjorie Taylor Greene being misleading
00:44:45.000 on a health-related topic.
00:44:49.280 Would you?
00:44:50.880 Would you disagree
00:44:51.920 that if Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:44:54.380 showed you the VAERS database
00:44:55.880 without also giving you the context
00:44:58.580 that it can't be relied on
00:45:00.960 as the final word,
00:45:03.520 that that would be misleading.
00:45:06.080 But is it more misleading
00:45:07.500 than the fact check?
00:45:09.640 It is not.
00:45:11.400 It is not more misleading
00:45:12.760 than the fact check.
00:45:14.140 The fact check is plenty misleading.
00:45:16.340 So you might say to yourself,
00:45:18.080 wait a minute,
00:45:19.560 why did Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:45:21.380 get kicked off for being misleading,
00:45:23.100 but the New York Times
00:45:24.940 doesn't even get criticized
00:45:26.960 for being misleading
00:45:29.220 in the other way
00:45:30.540 by leaving out some context.
00:45:34.380 Well, here's another thing
00:45:35.620 that Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:45:36.620 was hit with.
00:45:37.660 She had five strikes,
00:45:38.660 according to Twitter.
00:45:41.900 Let's see.
00:45:42.660 She told you...
00:45:44.340 What was the other thing she said?
00:45:49.400 She had tweeted
00:45:50.940 that COVID-19 was not dangerous.
00:45:53.600 That was one of them.
00:45:54.380 And she, according to the New York Times,
00:45:57.880 she, quote,
00:45:58.420 falsely posted
00:45:59.400 that the vaccines were failing.
00:46:03.900 So one of her strikes
00:46:06.940 is that she said
00:46:07.720 the vaccines were failing.
00:46:09.880 Quote, failing.
00:46:13.180 Doesn't that depend
00:46:14.220 on what your standard for success was?
00:46:16.000 If your standard for success
00:46:18.380 was stopping the pandemic,
00:46:19.840 well, I think she's right
00:46:23.360 because it didn't stop the spread
00:46:25.740 as much as we hoped it would.
00:46:27.640 But if the topic is
00:46:29.400 does it keep you from dying,
00:46:31.700 the data suggests strongly yes.
00:46:34.660 So in that case,
00:46:35.480 she would be very wrong.
00:46:37.160 But again,
00:46:37.620 there's a little context missing here.
00:46:39.440 But I would agree
00:46:40.400 that the way she approached it
00:46:43.920 could be considered
00:46:46.160 false and dangerous.
00:46:48.600 And by the way,
00:46:53.300 I'm going to give you
00:46:53.940 a stronger argument
00:46:55.200 than Marjorie Taylor Greene
00:46:57.720 about the safety risks
00:47:00.780 of vaccines.
00:47:02.400 And then we'll see
00:47:03.280 if I get kicked off.
00:47:04.840 Because I'm going to use her
00:47:06.280 as my model.
00:47:07.720 I'm going to make
00:47:08.520 a stronger claim
00:47:09.700 than she's making,
00:47:10.940 but I won't use
00:47:11.860 what I consider
00:47:13.700 false data to do it
00:47:15.380 or misleading data.
00:47:16.740 So my assertion is
00:47:19.840 that you do not get banned
00:47:21.620 by social media
00:47:22.560 if you tell the truth.
00:47:27.220 So that's the test.
00:47:28.980 So I'm only going to tell the truth,
00:47:30.940 but my case against
00:47:32.580 getting vaccinated
00:47:35.000 will be stronger
00:47:36.380 than the person
00:47:38.800 who got kicked off.
00:47:40.380 Do you think I could do that?
00:47:42.700 We'll see.
00:47:43.500 In a related topic,
00:47:48.240 Rasmussen,
00:47:48.920 and I haven't seen this
00:47:49.720 anywhere else
00:47:50.360 and I don't know why,
00:47:51.640 but Rasmussen
00:47:52.240 was tweeting,
00:47:54.400 the Rasmussen reports
00:47:55.500 were tweeting,
00:47:56.720 that apparently
00:47:57.220 the 2020 Arizona
00:47:58.900 election
00:47:59.460 audits
00:48:01.280 found a number,
00:48:03.200 10 different types
00:48:04.380 of paper
00:48:05.020 used on the ballots.
00:48:07.020 There is only one
00:48:09.060 that is approved.
00:48:11.700 Now,
00:48:12.300 I'm not sure
00:48:13.360 any of this information
00:48:14.700 is true.
00:48:17.040 Do you believe
00:48:18.100 that we really found
00:48:19.460 in Maricopa County
00:48:21.100 10 different papers
00:48:22.920 for ballots
00:48:23.780 and that that
00:48:25.060 has been confirmed
00:48:25.980 and that only
00:48:28.220 one kind of paper
00:48:29.220 is approved?
00:48:31.400 Do you believe that?
00:48:33.980 I'm going to say
00:48:35.100 I don't believe it.
00:48:36.580 I don't believe
00:48:37.580 that we have
00:48:38.320 but
00:48:38.680 if it is true,
00:48:41.940 we've got some questions.
00:48:44.780 So let's keep an eye
00:48:45.820 on that.
00:48:46.380 I don't know why
00:48:46.960 this isn't a bigger story
00:48:48.200 even if
00:48:49.000 maybe there
00:48:50.600 is there a fact check
00:48:51.560 on this?
00:48:52.160 I guess I should have checked.
00:48:53.740 So here's a perfect example
00:48:55.200 where
00:48:55.520 I need to go back
00:48:57.520 to the comments
00:48:58.160 and see if somebody
00:48:58.920 did a fact check on this.
00:49:00.400 I would say
00:49:01.140 that I have trouble
00:49:02.020 believing
00:49:02.460 that there were
00:49:03.080 10 different types
00:49:04.120 of paper used
00:49:04.940 because even if
00:49:06.620 fraud were involved,
00:49:08.860 would they use
00:49:09.440 10 different pieces
00:49:10.220 of paper
00:49:10.640 or 10 different types?
00:49:12.720 If fraud were involved
00:49:14.520 at this level,
00:49:15.780 I mean,
00:49:15.960 this would be
00:49:16.360 somewhat sophisticated,
00:49:18.420 I would figure
00:49:19.040 that they would
00:49:19.540 at least use
00:49:20.060 one type of fake paper.
00:49:22.640 Really?
00:49:23.640 I mean,
00:49:23.980 so there's something
00:49:24.540 about this
00:49:25.020 that doesn't pass
00:49:26.560 the sniff test.
00:49:28.960 But
00:49:29.440 Rasmussen Reports
00:49:32.240 has not been
00:49:32.920 kicked off of Twitter,
00:49:34.320 right?
00:49:35.560 Because they reported
00:49:36.640 something that's
00:49:37.760 true
00:49:39.460 in terms of
00:49:40.300 it's truly being
00:49:41.280 reported.
00:49:43.400 Well,
00:49:44.000 let me see.
00:49:44.520 I don't know
00:49:45.040 if the fact
00:49:47.320 about the paper
00:49:48.040 is true,
00:49:49.000 but it's
00:49:49.800 being reported,
00:49:51.080 so that's true.
00:49:52.840 So Rasmussen
00:49:53.460 did not say anything
00:49:54.520 that is false.
00:49:55.220 They reported
00:49:55.940 what's being reported.
00:49:57.700 Didn't get kicked off.
00:49:59.600 And I think
00:50:00.060 I can do the same.
00:50:01.440 So I'm going to
00:50:02.000 give you also
00:50:02.780 a stronger argument
00:50:04.680 against the idea
00:50:07.380 that the election
00:50:08.080 was credible
00:50:09.940 than I think
00:50:12.500 anybody's given yet.
00:50:14.120 And I will not
00:50:15.060 be kicked off
00:50:15.620 of social media,
00:50:16.540 I predict,
00:50:17.640 because I won't
00:50:18.640 say anything
00:50:19.060 that isn't true.
00:50:21.100 So here's the line.
00:50:22.640 I don't believe
00:50:23.360 you get kicked off
00:50:24.100 of social media
00:50:24.800 for saying
00:50:25.420 things that are
00:50:26.480 true and
00:50:27.540 are easily
00:50:28.160 demonstrably true.
00:50:30.520 I believe that
00:50:31.520 the only people
00:50:32.060 getting kicked off
00:50:32.800 are actually
00:50:33.480 saying things
00:50:34.240 that are really
00:50:35.400 misleading.
00:50:36.720 Now, that doesn't
00:50:37.520 mean the fact
00:50:38.020 checkers are right.
00:50:38.940 Don't get me wrong.
00:50:40.280 But we'll test
00:50:41.060 my theory.
00:50:43.440 All right.
00:50:45.580 So,
00:50:47.060 let me
00:50:47.580 violate the narrative
00:50:48.700 a little bit.
00:50:49.900 You ready?
00:50:51.080 Here's my,
00:50:51.860 we'll start
00:50:52.360 with the elections.
00:50:53.640 There have been
00:50:54.420 many claims
00:50:55.580 of election fraud.
00:50:57.440 They have been
00:50:58.220 either rejected
00:51:00.500 or they weren't
00:51:01.580 big enough
00:51:01.980 to make a difference.
00:51:03.200 So as we stand
00:51:04.400 today,
00:51:05.560 there are no
00:51:06.360 court-proven
00:51:08.300 examples of fraud
00:51:12.180 in 2020
00:51:12.860 that were big enough
00:51:14.040 to have changed
00:51:15.200 the result.
00:51:16.880 Right?
00:51:17.040 Now, having
00:51:18.840 said that,
00:51:20.020 there's almost
00:51:20.620 nothing I can say
00:51:21.520 after that
00:51:21.980 that would get me
00:51:22.560 banned from social
00:51:23.400 media.
00:51:24.700 That's my belief.
00:51:26.500 Because I said
00:51:27.400 a true thing
00:51:28.100 that there's no,
00:51:31.160 no court has
00:51:32.220 found any kind
00:51:33.340 of fraud
00:51:33.700 in that election
00:51:34.480 big enough
00:51:35.840 that would make
00:51:36.420 any difference.
00:51:38.300 Now,
00:51:39.700 I'm going to argue
00:51:40.360 against that narrative
00:51:41.760 the strongest
00:51:43.140 argument that
00:51:43.840 you've ever heard.
00:51:44.520 there is no
00:51:47.640 such thing
00:51:48.220 as a system
00:51:49.000 that is very
00:51:49.800 important,
00:51:50.860 in other words,
00:51:51.520 as a high dollar
00:51:52.540 value or social
00:51:53.900 value or,
00:51:55.340 let's say,
00:51:56.200 the government
00:51:57.760 value.
00:51:58.800 There's no such
00:51:59.640 thing as a system
00:52:00.460 that's high value
00:52:01.380 that can't be
00:52:03.820 fully audited,
00:52:04.760 and that's the
00:52:05.480 situation with our
00:52:06.440 elections.
00:52:07.260 They can't be
00:52:07.800 fully audited.
00:52:08.740 You can look
00:52:09.420 at little parts
00:52:10.920 of them,
00:52:11.880 but we don't
00:52:12.360 have a mechanism
00:52:13.080 at all
00:52:13.780 to fully audit
00:52:15.060 any election
00:52:15.700 because you can't
00:52:17.020 get into the
00:52:17.500 electronic part.
00:52:19.380 So if you can't
00:52:20.040 audit it,
00:52:21.200 and it's a big
00:52:21.940 system that means
00:52:22.920 a lot,
00:52:24.080 and the stakes
00:52:25.980 are very high,
00:52:27.140 the odds of that
00:52:28.280 system becoming
00:52:29.320 fraudulent
00:52:30.040 are 100%
00:52:31.840 over time.
00:52:34.480 The only thing
00:52:35.460 we don't know
00:52:36.140 about 2020
00:52:36.920 is if the level
00:52:38.820 of fraud
00:52:39.360 has yet reached
00:52:40.460 the point where
00:52:41.080 it changes
00:52:41.540 election results.
00:52:42.500 it will
00:52:43.740 100%.
00:52:45.520 It will.
00:52:48.540 Rose,
00:52:49.280 I have some
00:52:50.180 advice for you.
00:52:51.000 Rose says I'm
00:52:51.640 getting a bit
00:52:52.120 tedious lately,
00:52:53.660 and Rose,
00:52:54.840 I would recommend
00:52:56.660 that you go
00:52:57.820 fuck yourself
00:52:58.500 instead of
00:53:00.020 watching this.
00:53:01.820 All right.
00:53:02.600 So,
00:53:03.740 check my
00:53:05.860 assertion.
00:53:07.100 My assertion is
00:53:08.120 that there is
00:53:08.960 100% chance
00:53:10.340 our election
00:53:10.860 system is
00:53:12.280 already moving
00:53:13.520 in a fraudulent
00:53:14.260 direction,
00:53:15.140 is guaranteed
00:53:15.760 to be fraudulent
00:53:16.900 in a way that
00:53:17.880 would change
00:53:19.320 election results.
00:53:20.380 We just don't
00:53:21.220 know if it
00:53:21.640 happened yet
00:53:22.240 or it will
00:53:22.920 happen next.
00:53:23.600 I think that's
00:53:26.000 the strongest
00:53:26.460 argument.
00:53:27.760 And did I say
00:53:28.340 anything that's
00:53:29.180 not obviously
00:53:30.380 true?
00:53:31.760 Anything.
00:53:33.120 Did I?
00:53:33.480 you tell me
00:53:36.680 is that the
00:53:37.780 strongest
00:53:38.260 argument
00:53:38.820 against
00:53:40.560 election
00:53:41.020 integrity?
00:53:43.480 Using things
00:53:44.340 we know to
00:53:44.880 be true.
00:53:45.940 Now,
00:53:46.320 did I say
00:53:46.780 anything that
00:53:47.200 wasn't true?
00:53:48.660 No.
00:53:49.420 No.
00:53:50.100 Nothing I said
00:53:51.100 about that
00:53:51.580 is untrue.
00:53:53.300 Will I be
00:53:54.080 banned from
00:53:54.580 social media
00:53:55.200 for saying
00:53:55.640 what I just
00:53:56.140 said?
00:53:56.560 The strongest
00:53:57.420 argument so
00:53:58.240 far against
00:53:59.460 election
00:53:59.920 integrity?
00:54:00.880 No.
00:54:01.320 Not even a
00:54:01.840 chance.
00:54:02.460 Because nobody
00:54:03.120 would listen
00:54:03.560 to what I
00:54:03.920 said and
00:54:04.320 say,
00:54:04.660 oh,
00:54:04.940 I disagree.
00:54:06.220 There's
00:54:06.500 literally
00:54:06.880 nothing to
00:54:07.400 disagree in
00:54:07.960 my opinion.
00:54:09.040 And it
00:54:09.460 violates the
00:54:10.280 narrative
00:54:10.580 completely.
00:54:12.160 The narrative
00:54:12.980 is, if you
00:54:13.840 didn't find any
00:54:14.500 fraud, it's
00:54:14.960 fine.
00:54:16.200 I could not
00:54:17.500 have violated
00:54:18.060 that narrative
00:54:18.740 any stronger.
00:54:20.600 Now, let's
00:54:21.200 do vaccines.
00:54:23.940 This may be
00:54:24.760 the last 10
00:54:25.420 minutes you
00:54:25.840 ever see me.
00:54:27.720 According to
00:54:28.280 you, I
00:54:29.500 believe I'll
00:54:30.000 be safe because
00:54:31.040 I'm not going
00:54:31.480 to say anything
00:54:31.960 that isn't
00:54:32.520 untrue.
00:54:33.120 All right,
00:54:34.680 let's say
00:54:34.980 it.
00:54:36.140 So, Dr.
00:54:37.240 Malone got
00:54:37.940 kicked off of
00:54:39.500 Twitter for
00:54:40.340 some claims.
00:54:41.760 I would
00:54:42.180 recommend that
00:54:42.740 you look at
00:54:43.220 the fact
00:54:43.720 check.
00:54:44.460 I tweeted
00:54:44.940 it so you
00:54:45.380 can see it
00:54:45.760 in my
00:54:46.160 Twitter feed.
00:54:47.280 Andres
00:54:47.700 Backhouse
00:54:48.380 found it.
00:54:49.680 And I'm
00:54:50.620 not saying
00:54:51.080 that the
00:54:51.540 fact check
00:54:52.140 is correct.
00:54:53.540 I'm saying
00:54:53.920 you should
00:54:55.040 look at it
00:54:55.580 if you've
00:54:56.300 looked at
00:54:56.600 Dr.
00:54:56.920 Malone's
00:54:57.260 claims.
00:54:58.520 But here's
00:54:59.020 one of the
00:54:59.460 things that
00:55:00.040 the fact
00:55:00.440 checkers said
00:55:01.160 when talking
00:55:01.660 about Dr.
00:55:02.220 Malone,
00:55:02.660 they said,
00:55:03.920 I guess Dr.
00:55:06.160 Malone said
00:55:06.520 that vaccines
00:55:07.340 could be
00:55:07.660 dangerous for
00:55:08.420 children in
00:55:09.260 some situations.
00:55:12.060 But they
00:55:14.080 quote Malone
00:55:15.800 as saying,
00:55:16.620 in summary,
00:55:17.560 there's no
00:55:18.300 benefit for
00:55:18.920 your children
00:55:19.420 or your
00:55:19.920 family to
00:55:20.940 be vaccinating
00:55:21.800 your children
00:55:22.900 against small
00:55:24.000 risks of
00:55:24.660 the virus.
00:55:25.680 The risk-benefit
00:55:26.660 analysis is not
00:55:27.980 even close with
00:55:29.460 this vaccine for
00:55:30.400 children.
00:55:30.680 So that's
00:55:31.100 the claim
00:55:31.440 that got
00:55:31.740 him,
00:55:32.400 or I
00:55:32.840 think one
00:55:33.160 of them
00:55:33.400 that got
00:55:33.740 him his
00:55:34.160 Twitter ban.
00:55:35.920 So the
00:55:36.360 claim is
00:55:37.100 there's no
00:55:37.800 benefit,
00:55:38.460 no benefit,
00:55:39.560 not some,
00:55:40.380 no benefit,
00:55:41.120 for your
00:55:42.160 children or
00:55:42.740 your family
00:55:43.260 to be
00:55:43.620 vaccinating
00:55:44.220 your children
00:55:45.440 against the
00:55:46.820 small risks
00:55:47.400 of the
00:55:47.660 virus.
00:55:49.140 And the
00:55:49.440 risk-benefit
00:55:49.960 is not
00:55:50.500 even close.
00:55:52.260 Now,
00:55:52.860 the fact
00:55:53.400 checkers
00:55:53.800 talk to
00:55:54.260 three doctors
00:55:54.960 and they
00:55:56.820 don't tell
00:55:57.600 us who
00:55:57.900 those doctors
00:55:58.440 are, wait
00:55:59.800 a minute,
00:56:00.540 they talk
00:56:00.960 to three
00:56:01.360 doctors to
00:56:02.000 do a
00:56:02.280 fact check
00:56:02.880 and those
00:56:04.580 doctors are
00:56:05.220 anonymous
00:56:05.640 sources.
00:56:07.200 Oh, so
00:56:07.800 the fact
00:56:08.220 check is
00:56:08.700 using
00:56:08.980 unreliable
00:56:09.800 sources for
00:56:10.500 a fact
00:56:10.820 check because
00:56:12.220 they're
00:56:12.380 anonymous,
00:56:13.740 right?
00:56:15.380 That should
00:56:16.100 be the
00:56:16.360 standard.
00:56:16.860 They're
00:56:17.020 unreliable
00:56:17.700 sources.
00:56:18.600 So what
00:56:18.860 did the
00:56:19.180 unreliable
00:56:19.820 sources say
00:56:20.680 about Dr.
00:56:21.440 Malone's
00:56:21.860 claim,
00:56:22.960 given that
00:56:23.780 Dr.
00:56:24.040 Malone is a
00:56:24.660 reliable
00:56:25.040 source?
00:56:26.400 Wouldn't
00:56:26.640 you say?
00:56:27.360 If somebody
00:56:27.900 is an
00:56:28.200 expert,
00:56:29.500 they give
00:56:29.940 you their
00:56:31.080 name,
00:56:31.840 they go
00:56:32.240 on video,
00:56:33.560 they clearly
00:56:34.200 explain their
00:56:34.800 point of view,
00:56:35.900 they could be
00:56:36.420 right or they
00:56:36.920 could be
00:56:37.180 wrong,
00:56:38.360 but is Dr.
00:56:39.140 Malone a
00:56:39.660 credible
00:56:40.300 person?
00:56:41.700 Yes.
00:56:42.520 Yes.
00:56:42.900 Doesn't mean
00:56:43.280 he's right.
00:56:44.720 It means he's
00:56:45.240 highly credible.
00:56:46.640 Are the
00:56:47.220 doctors who
00:56:47.900 fact-checked
00:56:48.580 him credible?
00:56:50.160 No.
00:56:51.040 We don't
00:56:51.440 know who
00:56:51.720 they are.
00:56:52.700 We don't
00:56:53.000 know if
00:56:53.260 they have
00:56:53.520 his
00:56:53.680 credentials.
00:56:55.020 So we
00:56:55.400 have an
00:56:55.740 unreliable
00:56:56.560 group
00:56:56.980 fact-checking
00:56:57.800 a reliable
00:56:58.520 entity.
00:57:00.800 Doesn't
00:57:01.280 mean one
00:57:01.820 of them
00:57:02.020 is right
00:57:02.280 and one
00:57:02.520 is wrong.
00:57:03.160 That's
00:57:03.360 just the
00:57:03.680 situation.
00:57:05.400 Now,
00:57:05.880 here's what
00:57:06.360 they say.
00:57:07.540 The three
00:57:07.880 doctors said,
00:57:08.680 quote,
00:57:09.280 the theoretical
00:57:10.000 risk of
00:57:10.740 COVID
00:57:11.080 vaccines
00:57:11.940 absolutely
00:57:13.100 do not
00:57:14.180 outweigh the
00:57:15.460 benefits of
00:57:16.100 the vaccine,
00:57:17.260 said
00:57:17.600 Greenhouse.
00:57:20.880 Actually,
00:57:21.500 one of the
00:57:21.820 doctors might
00:57:22.300 have their
00:57:22.900 name in
00:57:23.220 there.
00:57:24.420 So if
00:57:25.020 their names
00:57:25.340 are there,
00:57:25.960 then fact-check
00:57:26.620 me,
00:57:27.000 then it's
00:57:27.980 less unreliable
00:57:29.280 if their
00:57:29.720 names are
00:57:30.060 in there.
00:57:31.160 So what
00:57:33.120 do you
00:57:33.280 think?
00:57:34.860 Do you
00:57:35.420 believe that
00:57:36.020 Dr. Malone
00:57:36.760 is right,
00:57:38.200 that the
00:57:38.900 costs outweigh
00:57:40.400 the benefits,
00:57:41.080 or do you
00:57:41.420 think the
00:57:41.760 fact-checking
00:57:42.420 doctors are
00:57:43.040 right?
00:57:43.300 Three of
00:57:43.780 them.
00:57:44.300 Three of
00:57:44.760 them.
00:57:45.660 They say
00:57:46.200 it's the
00:57:46.640 opposite.
00:57:47.880 Go.
00:57:48.420 Who's
00:57:48.700 right?
00:57:49.020 Who's
00:57:50.020 right?
00:57:50.620 Who's
00:57:51.120 right?
00:57:51.540 The
00:57:51.680 fact-checking
00:57:52.340 doctors or
00:57:53.340 the fact-checking
00:57:54.740 Dr. Malone?
00:57:57.300 The answer
00:57:58.400 is it is
00:57:59.300 unknowable
00:58:00.100 because nobody
00:58:01.940 knows the
00:58:02.480 long-term
00:58:02.960 risks of the
00:58:03.840 vaccination and
00:58:05.220 nobody knows
00:58:05.980 the long-term
00:58:06.800 risk of
00:58:08.020 COVID.
00:58:10.020 Am I
00:58:10.900 right?
00:58:11.880 Nobody knows
00:58:12.620 the long-term
00:58:13.200 risk of the
00:58:13.780 vaccination,
00:58:14.600 especially
00:58:15.300 boosted,
00:58:16.840 mixed.
00:58:20.980 If you're
00:58:21.620 cross-fading
00:58:22.400 with your
00:58:22.880 vaccinations,
00:58:23.920 check with
00:58:24.420 your teens
00:58:24.860 to see what
00:58:25.520 I just said.
00:58:26.560 That won't
00:58:26.880 make any
00:58:27.260 sense to
00:58:27.860 you.
00:58:28.280 If you
00:58:28.560 know anybody
00:58:29.000 who's a
00:58:29.280 teenager,
00:58:30.220 say that
00:58:30.680 you're
00:58:30.880 watching this
00:58:31.420 live stream.
00:58:32.660 The cartoonist
00:58:33.260 said don't
00:58:33.940 cross-fade
00:58:34.640 with your
00:58:35.100 vaccines,
00:58:35.800 and they'll
00:58:36.260 laugh,
00:58:36.660 and then
00:58:36.820 they'll
00:58:36.940 explain what
00:58:37.400 that meant,
00:58:38.040 but I'm
00:58:38.300 not going
00:58:38.540 to tell
00:58:38.720 you right
00:58:39.000 now.
00:58:39.660 So if
00:58:39.880 you mix
00:58:40.180 two
00:58:40.380 different
00:58:40.680 vaccines
00:58:41.100 together,
00:58:41.520 who
00:58:41.640 tested
00:58:41.960 that?
00:58:43.160 Nobody.
00:58:44.840 Who
00:58:45.280 tested the
00:58:46.400 booster?
00:58:49.760 I don't
00:58:50.480 know that
00:58:50.820 the
00:58:50.980 boosters
00:58:51.260 have been
00:58:51.620 around long
00:58:52.140 enough to
00:58:52.520 test them.
00:58:53.440 Who
00:58:53.640 tested the
00:58:54.360 second and
00:58:54.800 third booster
00:58:55.340 on children?
00:58:57.720 Nobody.
00:58:59.360 How can
00:58:59.880 Dr. Malone
00:59:00.640 say that
00:59:01.280 the cost-benefit
00:59:02.220 is bad,
00:59:03.920 and these
00:59:04.300 doctors can
00:59:04.980 say the
00:59:05.600 cost-benefit
00:59:06.700 is very
00:59:07.140 good,
00:59:07.820 when neither
00:59:08.460 Dr. Malone
00:59:09.360 nor the
00:59:10.240 critics have
00:59:11.300 any fucking
00:59:12.100 idea what
00:59:12.720 the risks
00:59:13.140 are?
00:59:15.160 Am I
00:59:15.900 wrong?
00:59:16.400 Neither
00:59:17.480 of these
00:59:17.920 entities who
00:59:19.060 are arguing
00:59:19.640 with a high
00:59:20.200 degree of
00:59:20.700 certainty have
00:59:22.360 any data that
00:59:23.320 would support
00:59:23.780 either of
00:59:24.320 their opinions.
00:59:26.060 Am I
00:59:26.800 wrong?
00:59:28.000 These are
00:59:28.740 two experts
00:59:29.500 who are
00:59:30.400 trying to
00:59:31.060 bamboozle
00:59:31.680 the public
00:59:32.220 into thinking
00:59:32.880 that they
00:59:33.320 can make
00:59:33.800 really certain
00:59:35.820 decisions with
00:59:36.680 no data.
00:59:38.760 With no
00:59:39.600 data.
00:59:41.140 No data
00:59:42.020 on the
00:59:42.380 long-term
00:59:42.860 effects.
00:59:43.820 Are we
00:59:44.240 worried about
00:59:44.740 the short-term
00:59:45.420 risks?
00:59:46.960 Is that
00:59:47.440 the big
00:59:47.760 concern?
00:59:48.200 The short-term
00:59:48.820 risks.
00:59:49.160 In other
00:59:49.380 words, the
00:59:49.700 first few
00:59:50.740 months.
00:59:51.660 Well, that's
00:59:52.560 been tested.
00:59:54.600 Have some
00:59:55.060 of you seen
00:59:55.700 some data
00:59:57.440 that said
00:59:57.940 that there's
00:59:59.720 secretly, but
01:00:00.720 we didn't
01:00:01.080 know it until
01:00:01.800 recently, that
01:00:03.160 the vaccines
01:00:03.920 cause a lot
01:00:04.640 of harm to
01:00:06.140 people in
01:00:06.560 the first
01:00:07.020 weeks?
01:00:08.240 Has anybody
01:00:09.280 seen that?
01:00:09.840 it's
01:00:11.420 debunked,
01:00:12.180 right?
01:00:12.900 Yeah, look
01:00:13.520 for the
01:00:13.840 debunk.
01:00:14.980 If you
01:00:15.560 see that,
01:00:16.100 just look
01:00:16.460 for the
01:00:16.700 debunk.
01:00:17.280 It's
01:00:17.400 completely
01:00:18.360 debunked.
01:00:19.580 Now, you
01:00:20.840 could argue
01:00:21.220 that the
01:00:21.580 debunk
01:00:21.900 isn't good,
01:00:22.760 but it's
01:00:23.160 a pretty
01:00:23.320 strong one.
01:00:24.980 So as
01:00:25.560 far as I
01:00:25.960 know, to
01:00:27.560 the best of
01:00:28.020 my knowledge,
01:00:29.080 there's no
01:00:30.360 credible
01:00:30.860 information to
01:00:32.360 say that
01:00:32.760 there's a
01:00:33.200 short-term
01:00:33.800 risk with
01:00:35.420 the vaccines.
01:00:37.040 Well, let
01:00:37.660 me get that
01:00:38.180 right.
01:00:38.340 There's no
01:00:39.260 credible
01:00:39.740 information that
01:00:41.260 the short-term
01:00:42.100 risk is
01:00:43.760 higher than
01:00:44.300 the short-term
01:00:46.160 gain.
01:00:48.840 Now, but
01:00:50.000 it also
01:00:50.280 doesn't go
01:00:50.700 the other
01:00:50.980 way.
01:00:52.020 You know, I
01:00:52.280 don't think
01:00:52.580 you can prove
01:00:53.200 it's safe.
01:00:54.440 But there's
01:00:55.160 no evidence
01:00:55.640 about the
01:00:56.060 long-term,
01:00:56.920 and especially
01:00:57.360 with boosters,
01:00:58.100 because you
01:00:59.320 can't study
01:01:00.220 the future.
01:01:01.720 So, here's
01:01:02.540 the strongest
01:01:03.080 argument against
01:01:04.500 vaccine safety.
01:01:07.140 And here will
01:01:07.760 be my
01:01:08.120 last-minute
01:01:08.740 on Twitter
01:01:09.520 if many
01:01:10.640 of you
01:01:10.960 are right
01:01:11.520 that violating
01:01:12.900 the narrative
01:01:13.400 is all it
01:01:14.140 takes.
01:01:15.120 So I'm
01:01:15.440 going to
01:01:15.600 violate the
01:01:16.080 narrative,
01:01:16.520 but I'm
01:01:16.700 not going
01:01:17.000 to tell
01:01:17.240 a lie.
01:01:18.040 Okay?
01:01:18.720 Number one,
01:01:19.880 the pharma
01:01:20.320 industry is
01:01:21.180 known to
01:01:21.780 be wildly
01:01:22.740 corrupt.
01:01:24.240 Agree?
01:01:25.600 The pharma
01:01:26.140 industry is
01:01:26.980 known to
01:01:28.140 be wildly
01:01:28.860 corrupt.
01:01:29.420 Not a
01:01:29.740 little bit
01:01:30.060 corrupt.
01:01:31.080 Not average
01:01:31.800 corrupt.
01:01:32.840 I'm talking
01:01:33.400 food industry
01:01:34.440 corrupt.
01:01:35.860 Like, that's
01:01:36.420 the highest
01:01:36.760 standard.
01:01:38.140 I think the
01:01:38.840 highest standard
01:01:39.380 of corruption
01:01:39.860 is the food
01:01:40.520 industry.
01:01:41.600 But in that
01:01:43.640 neighborhood is
01:01:44.420 pharma.
01:01:45.420 All right, so
01:01:45.760 we have a drug
01:01:46.480 that's created
01:01:47.120 by an industry.
01:01:49.380 I'm not talking
01:01:49.920 about a specific
01:01:50.620 company now,
01:01:51.460 necessarily.
01:01:52.440 But created by
01:01:53.120 an industry we
01:01:53.980 know to be just
01:01:54.960 full of corruption
01:01:56.160 and the kind of
01:01:57.360 corruption where they
01:01:58.100 will kill you for
01:01:59.020 profits.
01:01:59.840 Am I right?
01:02:01.040 It's the kind of
01:02:02.100 corruption where they
01:02:03.140 will actually kill you
01:02:04.520 to make money, and
01:02:06.340 that there are lots
01:02:06.900 of examples of
01:02:07.680 this.
01:02:08.600 Okay.
01:02:09.080 So we have a
01:02:10.340 vaccine from a
01:02:11.180 source that cannot
01:02:11.920 be trusted.
01:02:14.200 We have data that
01:02:15.720 we don't trust.
01:02:19.740 I don't know if
01:02:20.600 it's good or bad
01:02:21.220 data, but I can
01:02:22.100 tell you we don't
01:02:22.720 trust it, because
01:02:23.840 we don't trust any
01:02:24.620 data, especially
01:02:26.480 from an industry
01:02:27.460 that's known to be
01:02:28.360 corrupt.
01:02:30.080 We know that the
01:02:31.380 money involved in
01:02:32.300 vaccines is
01:02:32.960 gigantic, and we
01:02:34.500 know that money
01:02:35.100 corrupts.
01:02:36.360 If money corrupts,
01:02:37.840 what does a
01:02:38.440 trillion dollars
01:02:39.140 do?
01:02:41.260 If money corrupts,
01:02:42.620 a trillion dollars
01:02:43.440 guarantees corruption.
01:02:45.240 It removes all
01:02:46.420 doubt.
01:02:48.080 Right?
01:02:48.580 Now, that assumes
01:02:49.480 there's an opportunity
01:02:50.520 and a reason to be
01:02:51.780 corrupt.
01:02:52.760 If the vaccines
01:02:53.600 work, great.
01:02:55.480 Nobody had to do
01:02:56.440 any corruption.
01:02:57.500 Right?
01:02:58.280 But if there was
01:02:59.280 any possibility that
01:03:00.900 corruption would give
01:03:02.120 somebody an advantage,
01:03:04.500 a trillion dollars
01:03:06.340 or two will get
01:03:07.140 you there fast.
01:03:08.580 So we've got a
01:03:09.460 corrupt industry,
01:03:11.420 rushed a product
01:03:12.700 that was not
01:03:13.780 tested in the
01:03:14.820 long-term sense,
01:03:17.140 because, you know,
01:03:17.840 you can't test the
01:03:18.700 future.
01:03:19.980 We know that the
01:03:21.200 money is huge,
01:03:22.360 and that always
01:03:23.260 corrupts things when
01:03:24.240 there's opportunity.
01:03:25.180 We don't know if
01:03:25.740 there's an opportunity
01:03:26.440 to corrupt, but it
01:03:27.540 would if there were.
01:03:28.640 We know that
01:03:31.660 Fauci, who's the
01:03:33.180 voice of all of
01:03:35.420 our pandemic
01:03:36.000 requirements, is a
01:03:37.520 confirmed liar.
01:03:39.640 So our main source
01:03:41.920 of this information,
01:03:43.040 that we should take
01:03:43.680 vaccines, is a
01:03:44.960 confirmed liar.
01:03:46.320 And he's a confirmed
01:03:47.140 liar on this topic,
01:03:49.180 which is the
01:03:49.560 pandemic.
01:03:50.600 Because he lied
01:03:51.420 about masks, and
01:03:53.220 then he told us he
01:03:54.060 lied.
01:03:55.100 Now, he gave us the
01:03:56.320 reason, and I think
01:03:57.160 the reason actually
01:03:57.960 wasn't terrible.
01:04:00.600 But whether or not
01:04:01.500 he had a good
01:04:02.020 reason is a little
01:04:04.420 bit separate from
01:04:06.000 the question of do
01:04:06.940 we know that the
01:04:07.920 main mouthpiece for
01:04:09.620 this is a liar?
01:04:11.280 And the answer is
01:04:11.800 yes.
01:04:12.700 He admitted it.
01:04:14.640 So you've got an
01:04:15.760 industry you can't
01:04:17.380 trust.
01:04:18.300 They're known to be
01:04:18.980 liars.
01:04:19.400 They will kill you
01:04:19.980 for money.
01:04:20.800 The money is huge.
01:04:22.020 Money always corrupts.
01:04:23.360 We don't know the
01:04:24.160 long-term risks.
01:04:25.100 And the person who
01:04:26.420 is the spokesperson
01:04:27.860 for this is a known
01:04:29.660 liar, admitted liar.
01:04:32.580 And when you read the
01:04:33.920 fact check from these
01:04:34.780 doctors, they're either
01:04:36.760 stupid or lying to you
01:04:38.960 or persuading.
01:04:40.860 Because when they say
01:04:42.140 that they absolutely
01:04:43.140 know that the risks of
01:04:44.480 two unknowns can be
01:04:46.360 assessed, oh, this
01:04:48.220 unknown is way bigger
01:04:49.260 than this unknown.
01:04:51.060 No, that's not a thing.
01:04:53.140 You can't compare two
01:04:55.300 unknowns and then be
01:04:57.040 sure which is the big
01:04:57.980 one.
01:04:58.560 I mean, not in this
01:04:59.220 context.
01:05:00.060 There would be contexts
01:05:01.100 in which you could do
01:05:01.880 that.
01:05:02.400 But not in this one.
01:05:03.980 Because the risk is
01:05:05.340 that you die, right?
01:05:06.920 So, well, enough
01:05:10.240 about that.
01:05:11.520 So, why would you
01:05:16.040 give your child a
01:05:17.340 vaccination that came
01:05:19.140 from a corrupt
01:05:19.960 industry that you know
01:05:21.120 would be corrupt, is
01:05:22.140 corrupted by money, went
01:05:23.760 through the FDA that you
01:05:24.880 know is corrupt.
01:05:25.900 By the way, you know
01:05:26.580 the FDA is corrupt
01:05:27.480 because of the rapid
01:05:29.300 testing scandal.
01:05:30.820 We don't know the
01:05:31.460 details, but I think
01:05:33.460 you have to assume
01:05:34.680 corruption because they
01:05:36.320 never even explained.
01:05:38.180 They never even
01:05:39.100 explained why we don't
01:05:40.720 have as many rapid
01:05:42.100 tests as we should.
01:05:43.820 That's a clear signal
01:05:45.060 of corruption without
01:05:45.960 actual proof, right?
01:05:47.280 So, we've got a
01:05:49.400 corrupt FDA, a corrupt
01:05:50.880 industry-making
01:05:51.640 vaccinations that they
01:05:52.900 rushed, funneled
01:05:54.240 through a corrupt
01:05:54.800 government with a lying
01:05:56.040 Fauci, and doctors
01:05:59.180 telling us even today
01:06:00.420 that they can determine
01:06:01.460 which of the unknown
01:06:02.980 risks is the bigger
01:06:04.260 fucking risk.
01:06:06.200 The unknown risks.
01:06:08.160 And they're telling us
01:06:08.920 those are the big
01:06:09.520 fucking risks.
01:06:10.800 Seriously?
01:06:12.240 Seriously?
01:06:12.760 All right.
01:06:14.740 Now, have I achieved
01:06:16.740 my standard of violating
01:06:19.360 the narrative?
01:06:22.680 Have I?
01:06:24.420 You tell me.
01:06:25.380 Have I violated the
01:06:26.420 narrative?
01:06:27.320 Because that's the test.
01:06:28.860 If I don't violate the
01:06:30.080 narrative, then this is
01:06:31.080 not a test.
01:06:33.620 All right.
01:06:34.420 Most of you are saying
01:06:35.300 yes.
01:06:36.800 All right.
01:06:37.100 So, you know, this is
01:06:38.340 not the kind of test you
01:06:39.360 can satisfy everybody.
01:06:40.740 Somebody's going to say
01:06:41.460 you didn't violate it
01:06:42.440 enough because you
01:06:43.600 didn't make a claim
01:06:44.400 about some data that
01:06:45.440 you think is true that
01:06:46.500 I don't.
01:06:47.820 But I think this is
01:06:49.620 the strongest argument
01:06:50.440 that literally everybody
01:06:51.500 involved is a liar.
01:06:54.660 That's the summary.
01:06:56.520 Literally, everyone,
01:06:59.420 everyone involved,
01:07:02.660 from the drug makers
01:07:04.140 through the FDA,
01:07:05.280 through the government,
01:07:06.100 through Fauci,
01:07:07.020 to the fact checkers,
01:07:08.380 to the New York Times,
01:07:09.580 everyone is lying
01:07:11.620 and obviously.
01:07:14.660 Now, I'm not saying
01:07:15.880 everybody's lying
01:07:16.680 on every point.
01:07:18.320 I'm just saying
01:07:19.080 it's a nest
01:07:20.200 of proven liars.
01:07:22.420 And you're being asked
01:07:23.300 to put a drug
01:07:24.100 into your body
01:07:24.920 that was developed
01:07:26.860 and promoted
01:07:27.500 by known liars.
01:07:30.260 on top of that,
01:07:37.760 we have the Omicron
01:07:38.860 situation.
01:07:41.420 Now, suppose you knew
01:07:42.320 that the Omicron virus
01:07:43.660 had the characteristics
01:07:45.080 we're told it has,
01:07:46.560 mild illness
01:07:47.300 and such a rapid spread
01:07:49.040 that you can forget
01:07:50.240 about your mask
01:07:51.060 because your mask
01:07:51.680 is going to help you
01:07:52.420 a bit.
01:07:52.720 I still think masks
01:07:54.560 probably helped
01:07:56.380 with Delta
01:07:57.560 and Alpha
01:07:58.640 because masks
01:08:00.520 reduced the plume
01:08:01.620 and the plume
01:08:03.820 is where all
01:08:04.300 the viral load is.
01:08:05.520 So if you didn't do
01:08:06.680 anything except
01:08:07.420 reduce the plume,
01:08:08.940 probably could have helped,
01:08:10.500 don't know for sure,
01:08:11.840 but probably could have
01:08:12.860 helped with Delta
01:08:13.600 and Alpha.
01:08:14.880 But if what they're
01:08:15.860 telling us about
01:08:16.560 Omicron is true,
01:08:18.700 you know,
01:08:19.220 a little particle
01:08:19.920 that escapes
01:08:20.680 from the side
01:08:21.280 of your mask
01:08:21.900 is going to infect
01:08:22.540 the whole room,
01:08:23.840 right?
01:08:24.220 Because just any exposure
01:08:25.760 seems to be enough
01:08:26.740 with the Omicron.
01:08:28.380 So,
01:08:29.500 in the context
01:08:30.580 of vaccines
01:08:32.200 which cannot be
01:08:33.700 assessed for their
01:08:35.160 risk long term,
01:08:37.120 can't be.
01:08:38.320 With an Omicron
01:08:39.240 that's going to do
01:08:39.920 what Omicron does,
01:08:41.100 which is it's going
01:08:41.800 to sweep through
01:08:42.480 in about the next
01:08:43.200 two weeks,
01:08:44.380 doesn't it make
01:08:45.320 more sense to wait?
01:08:48.120 Would the smart person
01:08:49.400 wait to see
01:08:50.060 what happens
01:08:50.540 with Omicron
01:08:51.300 or would they
01:08:52.340 get another booster?
01:08:54.940 Well,
01:08:55.700 I'm waiting
01:08:56.680 on my booster.
01:08:58.020 I don't imagine
01:08:58.880 that I would even
01:08:59.620 consider a booster
01:09:00.620 until after
01:09:01.740 February 1st.
01:09:03.440 And then it's sort of
01:09:04.220 a see what's happening.
01:09:05.560 Are there any
01:09:06.020 other variants?
01:09:06.740 Do we know
01:09:07.900 anything else
01:09:08.460 about the thing?
01:09:09.520 You know,
01:09:09.680 have we learned
01:09:10.260 anything that we
01:09:10.920 don't know now?
01:09:12.460 But,
01:09:12.860 I don't think
01:09:15.200 that your officials
01:09:16.480 are being honest
01:09:18.060 with you
01:09:18.460 about the potential
01:09:19.300 benefits
01:09:19.880 of the Omicron.
01:09:24.520 Secondly,
01:09:25.400 and lastly,
01:09:26.520 I have been
01:09:27.200 criticized
01:09:27.920 for not saying
01:09:28.980 enough about
01:09:29.580 the social costs
01:09:31.040 of lockdowns
01:09:32.660 and mandates.
01:09:34.240 How many of you
01:09:34.920 would agree
01:09:35.340 with that statement?
01:09:36.420 That I have not
01:09:37.600 said enough
01:09:38.360 about the social
01:09:39.920 costs
01:09:40.500 and health costs
01:09:42.500 and health costs
01:09:43.680 especially to children
01:09:45.240 of all the shutdowns.
01:09:47.220 Do you think so?
01:09:49.220 That may be
01:09:50.020 a valid criticism.
01:09:51.980 I think that's
01:09:52.780 a valid criticism.
01:09:53.940 But I'll tell you
01:09:54.640 why I haven't.
01:09:57.200 Because I think
01:09:57.880 it's just obvious.
01:09:59.700 I tend to ignore
01:10:01.000 the obvious
01:10:01.860 because you don't
01:10:03.520 need to be told
01:10:04.180 the obvious.
01:10:05.640 And the obvious is
01:10:06.640 there's a real
01:10:07.440 big problem
01:10:08.540 with mandates
01:10:10.120 and we don't
01:10:11.680 know how to
01:10:12.220 size it.
01:10:13.240 But it's obvious
01:10:14.220 and it's real big.
01:10:15.680 I just don't think
01:10:16.400 I need to tell you
01:10:17.180 that every time
01:10:17.860 I talk about
01:10:18.360 the topic.
01:10:19.240 To me,
01:10:19.880 that would be like,
01:10:21.060 let me explain
01:10:21.840 this baseball game,
01:10:22.880 how that went.
01:10:23.860 First,
01:10:24.340 you need to know
01:10:24.820 that there's oxygen.
01:10:26.940 And so all the players
01:10:27.760 had oxygen.
01:10:28.540 They were breathing.
01:10:29.820 I don't have to tell you
01:10:30.880 that there's oxygen.
01:10:32.500 That part,
01:10:33.060 you already knew.
01:10:33.860 You're living it.
01:10:34.760 You're breathing
01:10:35.280 the oxygen.
01:10:36.820 Likewise,
01:10:37.420 you're breathing
01:10:38.180 the mandates.
01:10:40.120 Depending on
01:10:41.200 where you are.
01:10:42.520 So,
01:10:43.880 I believe I will
01:10:45.780 be demonetized
01:10:47.200 on YouTube.
01:10:50.420 By the way,
01:10:51.400 if there's somebody
01:10:52.080 who can
01:10:52.860 text me right now
01:10:55.380 and tell me
01:10:55.900 if I've already
01:10:56.640 been demonetized,
01:10:57.680 I'm not sure
01:10:58.040 if you can tell.
01:10:59.140 But I imagine
01:10:59.820 I'll get demonetized
01:11:01.080 because that would
01:11:02.640 change, you know,
01:11:03.720 the algorithm.
01:11:05.320 But I predict
01:11:06.320 that I will not
01:11:07.480 be,
01:11:09.020 I don't think
01:11:09.720 I'll get a strike
01:11:10.500 nor do I think
01:11:11.740 I'll be banned
01:11:12.320 from social media
01:11:13.620 because as far
01:11:15.120 as I know,
01:11:15.740 everything I said
01:11:16.500 was true
01:11:17.180 and would be
01:11:18.360 easy to demonstrate.
01:11:20.240 Have I made
01:11:20.980 my point?
01:11:23.880 Yes,
01:11:24.340 it's true
01:11:24.700 that I can do
01:11:25.500 this,
01:11:25.920 I can do this
01:11:27.200 kind of a test
01:11:28.020 and you can't
01:11:28.860 because if I got
01:11:30.720 kicked off
01:11:31.240 of social media,
01:11:32.240 I would just
01:11:32.880 retire.
01:11:33.440 I would just retire
01:11:35.780 and I'd be
01:11:36.960 pretty happy.
01:11:37.780 Actually,
01:11:38.120 you'd be fine.
01:11:39.860 So I don't have
01:11:40.700 the risks that you
01:11:41.280 have so I can
01:11:42.420 run this test.
01:11:45.380 You have to
01:11:46.260 tweet it,
01:11:46.780 somebody says.
01:11:49.320 Do I?
01:11:51.160 I don't know.
01:11:52.640 Do I have to
01:11:53.260 tweet it?
01:11:53.740 I mean,
01:11:54.260 I'll tweet these,
01:11:55.700 this content
01:11:56.540 gets tweeted.
01:11:58.640 Try this.
01:11:59.900 Try taking me,
01:12:01.300 try quoting me
01:12:02.400 and then tweeting it.
01:12:03.840 Because you'll
01:12:06.280 probably misquote
01:12:07.020 me and that'll
01:12:08.460 get me in real
01:12:09.020 trouble.
01:12:16.480 Oh,
01:12:16.940 I thought that
01:12:17.360 was going to
01:12:17.660 be my answer.
01:12:19.200 Just waiting to
01:12:19.840 see if I'm
01:12:20.280 already demonetized.
01:12:22.140 Oh,
01:12:22.380 not yet.
01:12:23.560 Yeah,
01:12:23.800 so I'm not yet
01:12:24.480 demonetized on
01:12:25.580 YouTube.
01:12:26.860 I guess if you
01:12:27.560 challenge them
01:12:28.240 and tell them
01:12:28.640 it's a contest,
01:12:29.680 they get a little
01:12:30.380 more serious.
01:12:31.260 I get demonetized
01:12:32.360 almost automatically.
01:12:33.840 a lot of my
01:12:34.620 content,
01:12:35.300 but then upon
01:12:36.280 review it gets
01:12:37.200 reversed.
01:12:39.380 All right.
01:12:41.560 Somebody says
01:12:42.320 I'm not elected
01:12:43.800 and I'm not an
01:12:44.780 expert in the
01:12:45.480 field.
01:12:46.100 That is correct.
01:12:47.580 Are there any
01:12:48.280 people who have
01:12:49.080 been banned from
01:12:49.860 social media for
01:12:51.820 misinformation about
01:12:53.140 the election or
01:12:54.180 for COVID who
01:12:56.320 were not elected
01:12:57.660 and not experts?
01:13:01.720 I think the
01:13:02.800 answer is yes,
01:13:03.420 right?
01:13:04.340 Alex Berenson.
01:13:07.260 Yeah,
01:13:07.720 Alex Berenson.
01:13:08.660 Right.
01:13:09.060 So I think the
01:13:09.740 test still stands
01:13:11.280 because I have a
01:13:12.560 prominent account
01:13:14.100 with a lot of
01:13:14.880 Crowder.
01:13:17.140 Yeah,
01:13:17.480 Crowder.
01:13:18.640 Dave Rubin,
01:13:19.340 he got a strike,
01:13:20.680 right?
01:13:20.860 Naomi Wolf,
01:13:21.660 he got a strike.
01:13:23.100 Well,
01:13:23.680 Trump was elected.
01:13:24.300 Trump was elected.
01:13:24.360 All right.
01:13:31.080 So here's the
01:13:33.680 bottom line.
01:13:34.620 Assuming that I'm
01:13:35.440 still here today,
01:13:36.780 or still here
01:13:37.420 tomorrow,
01:13:37.940 and I don't get
01:13:38.580 banned,
01:13:39.280 my claim has been
01:13:40.900 this.
01:13:41.960 I want you to
01:13:43.520 make better
01:13:44.620 arguments when you
01:13:45.860 agree with me.
01:13:46.680 I don't like to be
01:13:49.360 on the same side
01:13:50.260 as people whose
01:13:51.680 arguments for my
01:13:53.120 own opinion
01:13:54.020 are bad
01:13:55.240 arguments.
01:13:56.560 I think it's a
01:13:57.620 bad argument
01:13:58.280 that people are
01:13:59.920 being banned for
01:14:01.300 saying true
01:14:02.080 things on Twitter
01:14:03.240 because I don't
01:14:04.540 think it's
01:14:04.940 happening.
01:14:06.020 And if it
01:14:06.560 happens,
01:14:07.100 I think sometimes
01:14:07.740 they get reversed
01:14:08.500 on appeal or
01:14:09.700 whatever.
01:14:09.920 But I don't
01:14:11.100 think that's
01:14:11.560 the big
01:14:11.920 problem.
01:14:13.220 I think the
01:14:13.700 big problem
01:14:14.100 is the way
01:14:14.800 people are
01:14:15.380 saying it.
01:14:16.680 In other words,
01:14:17.460 Marjorie Taylor
01:14:18.260 Green,
01:14:19.020 I think she
01:14:19.980 could have
01:14:20.240 easily avoided
01:14:21.200 being banned
01:14:23.020 if when she
01:14:24.120 tweeted the
01:14:24.660 VAERS database
01:14:25.340 she simply
01:14:26.020 said,
01:14:27.100 you know,
01:14:28.240 this should
01:14:28.860 not be taken
01:14:29.520 as the final
01:14:30.180 word,
01:14:30.860 or it's an
01:14:31.560 indication,
01:14:32.480 or it's a
01:14:32.860 red flag,
01:14:34.140 something like
01:14:34.600 that.
01:14:34.960 If she just
01:14:35.420 said it was a
01:14:35.940 red flag,
01:14:37.220 I'm pretty sure
01:14:37.860 she would not
01:14:38.300 be banned
01:14:38.740 because that's
01:14:39.580 true.
01:14:39.920 Yes,
01:14:42.720 words matter.
01:14:44.120 All right.
01:14:46.040 I believe
01:14:47.020 this is the
01:14:48.180 best live
01:14:48.940 stream I've
01:14:49.400 ever done,
01:14:50.240 if it's not
01:14:51.120 the last one.
01:14:52.680 And I'd
01:14:54.100 like to
01:14:54.520 check with
01:14:55.680 you on
01:14:59.300 that.
01:15:01.140 Was my
01:15:01.960 discussion of
01:15:02.700 the mass
01:15:03.540 formation
01:15:04.120 psychosis
01:15:06.000 useful?
01:15:07.180 Did it give
01:15:07.920 you any new
01:15:08.340 insight?
01:15:08.680 And did
01:15:10.860 I make my
01:15:12.300 claim,
01:15:12.660 you can't
01:15:13.120 be 100%
01:15:13.700 on any
01:15:14.080 of this,
01:15:14.740 that it's
01:15:15.600 probably the
01:15:16.240 inaccuracy
01:15:17.120 that's getting
01:15:17.600 people booted
01:15:18.420 off of
01:15:18.840 Twitter.
01:15:19.880 For the
01:15:20.540 most part.
01:15:21.200 I know you
01:15:21.800 can find an
01:15:22.340 exception.
01:15:23.300 But I don't
01:15:23.720 think there's
01:15:24.280 an organized
01:15:26.320 effort to
01:15:28.480 ban people
01:15:29.180 who say
01:15:29.620 true things
01:15:30.480 just because
01:15:32.300 they don't
01:15:32.560 like the
01:15:32.900 narrative.
01:15:33.280 I don't
01:15:33.440 think that
01:15:33.780 exists.
01:15:34.320 I do
01:15:35.480 think you
01:15:36.520 have to
01:15:36.840 worry about
01:15:37.400 the algorithm
01:15:38.220 like suppressing
01:15:39.940 this or
01:15:41.000 suppressing
01:15:41.480 other things.
01:15:42.040 That's
01:15:42.220 different.
01:15:43.060 But remember,
01:15:43.660 YouTube hasn't
01:15:44.280 demonetized me.
01:15:45.820 At least yet.
01:15:47.920 And if they
01:15:48.480 don't demonetize
01:15:49.540 things, that
01:15:50.180 usually keeps
01:15:51.020 it pretty high
01:15:52.040 in the
01:15:52.280 algorithm.
01:15:52.940 It's the
01:15:53.340 demonetized
01:15:54.060 stuff that
01:15:54.580 gets pushed
01:15:55.300 down.
01:15:56.740 So we'll
01:15:57.340 test it.
01:15:58.160 Now you
01:15:58.540 could also,
01:15:59.180 if you want
01:15:59.460 to go deep
01:16:00.000 into the
01:16:00.400 conspiracy,
01:16:01.600 you could
01:16:01.920 say,
01:16:02.160 well,
01:16:02.600 Scott,
01:16:03.040 they knew
01:16:03.360 you were
01:16:03.660 testing it.
01:16:04.900 They were
01:16:05.480 watching you.
01:16:06.540 They knew
01:16:06.980 you were
01:16:07.340 testing it,
01:16:08.100 so they
01:16:09.500 didn't do
01:16:10.740 it.
01:16:11.840 Let's talk
01:16:12.440 about China
01:16:12.880 for a moment
01:16:13.420 before I
01:16:13.900 go.
01:16:14.840 Apparently,
01:16:15.480 they've got
01:16:15.940 some big
01:16:16.220 problems over
01:16:16.720 there.
01:16:19.140 Have you
01:16:19.700 noticed?
01:16:22.720 So let
01:16:23.680 me ask you
01:16:24.040 this.
01:16:24.500 Did you
01:16:24.820 know that
01:16:25.320 in the
01:16:26.440 Chinese
01:16:26.780 culture,
01:16:28.160 that karma
01:16:28.800 is a big
01:16:30.220 thing?
01:16:31.280 How many
01:16:31.720 of you knew
01:16:32.100 that?
01:16:32.840 Can I
01:16:33.960 have a
01:16:34.320 confirmation
01:16:34.700 please?
01:16:36.120 Some of
01:16:36.820 you might
01:16:37.340 be Chinese
01:16:37.980 American or
01:16:38.680 even Chinese.
01:16:40.120 Can you
01:16:40.480 give me a
01:16:41.340 confirmation
01:16:42.160 on that?
01:16:43.380 That karma
01:16:44.040 is a
01:16:47.000 cultural
01:16:47.560 thing in
01:16:51.140 China.
01:16:52.060 I think it
01:16:52.600 came from
01:16:53.040 the Confucius
01:16:54.020 stuff,
01:16:55.640 or maybe
01:16:55.960 from,
01:16:56.840 I don't
01:16:57.080 know.
01:16:58.320 But,
01:16:59.480 okay,
01:17:00.280 so,
01:17:00.520 I have
01:17:02.540 a
01:17:02.740 confirmation
01:17:03.120 from
01:17:03.620 somebody
01:17:04.020 who
01:17:04.220 is
01:17:04.480 Chinese
01:17:04.820 who
01:17:05.120 said,
01:17:05.380 yes,
01:17:06.180 karma
01:17:06.460 is a
01:17:06.900 big
01:17:07.040 thing.
01:17:07.900 Now,
01:17:08.580 what happens
01:17:09.640 when China,
01:17:11.400 who is being
01:17:11.900 criticized for
01:17:12.820 its treatment
01:17:13.300 of the
01:17:13.640 Uyghurs,
01:17:15.400 is certainly
01:17:16.160 being criticized
01:17:16.780 for the
01:17:17.620 release of
01:17:18.460 the virus,
01:17:20.480 is being
01:17:20.900 criticized for
01:17:21.680 a whole
01:17:22.020 number of
01:17:22.480 things that
01:17:23.600 look abusive,
01:17:24.540 that look
01:17:25.120 like bad
01:17:25.580 behavior,
01:17:26.060 and at
01:17:27.340 the same
01:17:27.700 time,
01:17:28.780 China is
01:17:29.160 having a
01:17:29.540 lot of
01:17:29.740 bad luck.
01:17:31.700 So,
01:17:31.980 they've got
01:17:32.280 some economic
01:17:33.380 problems,
01:17:34.120 they've got,
01:17:35.280 probably,
01:17:36.140 they're going
01:17:36.340 to have a
01:17:37.440 big problem
01:17:37.920 with the
01:17:38.400 Omicron
01:17:38.880 Olympics.
01:17:39.700 I think
01:17:39.940 they're going
01:17:40.180 to have
01:17:40.320 an Omicron
01:17:40.780 breakout.
01:17:42.060 Now,
01:17:42.600 how long
01:17:43.560 will it
01:17:43.900 take before
01:17:45.140 the Chinese
01:17:45.780 citizens start
01:17:46.800 to believe
01:17:47.540 that the
01:17:48.580 bad luck
01:17:49.200 they're
01:17:49.480 experiencing
01:17:50.100 as a
01:17:50.620 country is
01:17:51.680 related to
01:17:52.300 the bad
01:17:52.720 things that
01:17:53.280 they're doing
01:17:53.760 to other
01:17:54.140 people,
01:17:55.520 meaning the
01:17:56.140 Uyghurs?
01:17:57.260 And how
01:17:57.700 hard will
01:17:58.200 it be to
01:17:58.720 connect those
01:18:00.080 two thoughts?
01:18:01.640 Because I'm
01:18:02.380 doing it right
01:18:02.920 now.
01:18:04.520 If you live
01:18:05.620 in China,
01:18:07.480 and you
01:18:08.920 think your
01:18:09.380 government is
01:18:10.100 creating bad
01:18:11.420 karma for
01:18:12.100 you through
01:18:13.340 the treatment
01:18:14.100 of the
01:18:14.400 Uyghurs,
01:18:15.460 and that
01:18:15.820 what's
01:18:16.020 happening to
01:18:16.560 you is
01:18:17.040 maybe the
01:18:17.580 curse of
01:18:18.020 the Uyghurs,
01:18:19.080 and that
01:18:19.760 every time
01:18:20.380 something bad
01:18:21.180 happens in
01:18:21.840 China that
01:18:22.900 may have
01:18:23.520 any cause,
01:18:25.000 it has
01:18:25.580 nothing to
01:18:26.020 do with
01:18:26.260 the Uyghurs,
01:18:27.000 I believe I
01:18:27.920 will be
01:18:28.240 labeling that
01:18:29.240 the curse
01:18:30.520 of the
01:18:30.900 Uyghurs.
01:18:32.520 Now,
01:18:33.400 if it
01:18:34.620 turns out
01:18:35.080 that the
01:18:35.460 Chinese
01:18:35.800 public,
01:18:37.240 or even
01:18:37.980 the Chinese
01:18:38.440 leadership,
01:18:39.580 are
01:18:40.140 superstitious,
01:18:43.180 it will
01:18:44.200 be kind
01:18:45.080 of a
01:18:45.360 vexing
01:18:45.760 idea to
01:18:47.300 connect the
01:18:48.220 Uyghur
01:18:48.760 treatment with
01:18:49.740 all the
01:18:50.120 bad luck
01:18:50.720 that happens
01:18:51.540 seemingly in
01:18:52.600 unrelated ways,
01:18:54.960 it's almost
01:18:55.820 the kind of
01:18:56.320 idea that
01:18:56.920 could take
01:18:57.320 down a
01:18:57.660 government.
01:18:59.040 Because if
01:18:59.800 the people
01:19:00.220 in China
01:19:00.580 get it in
01:19:01.080 their head
01:19:01.560 that it's
01:19:02.720 not a
01:19:03.080 coincidence
01:19:03.540 that China
01:19:05.100 is having
01:19:05.520 this unbroken
01:19:06.340 string of
01:19:06.980 bad luck
01:19:07.640 at the
01:19:09.720 same time
01:19:10.240 that they're
01:19:10.820 mistreating
01:19:11.960 the Uyghurs,
01:19:13.400 at the same
01:19:14.260 time that the
01:19:14.820 public has a
01:19:15.480 great belief
01:19:16.040 in karma,
01:19:18.220 I think we
01:19:19.000 should enforce
01:19:21.880 that idea
01:19:22.500 or reinforce
01:19:23.680 it.
01:19:24.820 And so,
01:19:25.740 going forward,
01:19:26.980 if you see
01:19:27.480 any stories
01:19:28.100 that look like
01:19:28.760 bad things
01:19:29.660 happened in
01:19:30.220 China,
01:19:31.120 be sure to
01:19:31.700 tweet them
01:19:32.140 with the
01:19:32.560 hashtag
01:19:33.140 Uyghur
01:19:35.460 karma.
01:19:38.820 Uyghur,
01:19:39.740 you have to
01:19:40.180 look up the
01:19:40.680 spelling.
01:19:41.460 I have to
01:19:42.140 look up the
01:19:42.540 spelling of
01:19:42.920 Uyghur
01:19:43.280 every time
01:19:44.420 I use it.
01:19:45.380 Every time.
01:19:46.040 I can't tell
01:19:46.460 you how many
01:19:46.740 times I wanted
01:19:47.220 to tweet
01:19:47.680 something about
01:19:48.780 the Uyghurs,
01:19:49.340 and I
01:19:50.540 didn't feel
01:19:51.040 like looking
01:19:51.800 up the
01:19:52.220 correct spelling
01:19:52.940 so I was
01:19:53.280 just like,
01:19:53.600 ah,
01:19:53.880 get back
01:19:54.240 to it.
01:19:56.660 So,
01:19:58.380 yeah,
01:19:59.480 the Uyghurs
01:20:00.100 are causing
01:20:00.720 a karma
01:20:01.200 problem in
01:20:01.900 China and
01:20:03.340 as long as
01:20:04.680 China comes
01:20:05.400 to believe
01:20:05.820 that,
01:20:06.180 which they
01:20:06.660 will,
01:20:08.440 maybe something
01:20:09.020 good can
01:20:09.420 happen.
01:20:10.540 All right,
01:20:11.220 that's all for
01:20:11.880 now and I
01:20:12.420 will talk to
01:20:12.860 you all
01:20:13.280 tomorrow.
01:20:14.160 you all.
