Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1697 Scott Adams： Ruble, Aliens, Hole in One, Hunter, Carbon Removal, Slapstick, Peace Deal

00:00:00.120 yakking with the people on Locals,

00:00:02.420 turned off my computer before I printed my notes for today,

00:00:06.380 and what would normally be the highlight of your life

00:00:10.720 has now turned into, tragically, a slow slog

00:00:14.000 of watching me try to print while talking at the same time.

00:00:18.480 Not many people can print and talk at the same time,

00:00:20.860 but I'm going to prove that it's not a myth.

00:00:23.460 It can be done.

00:00:25.180 Watch and learn.

00:00:27.360 Boom.

00:00:30.000 Yeah, yeah, that's printing.

00:00:36.160 Yep, we're going to take it up a notch.

00:00:38.880 I hope your printers are working as well as mine,

00:00:41.760 because they're quite, quite good right now.

00:00:46.680 Ah.

00:00:47.920 Have you ever had this experience

00:00:49.560 that your printer is so undependable

00:00:52.880 that when you hear that beautiful sound of it working correctly,

00:00:56.580 like,

00:00:56.900 it's just like music.

00:01:01.420 Until I turn around and find out

00:01:03.080 that the ink is out and it's all blank pages.

00:01:05.420 But until I do that,

00:01:06.960 it's going to be awesome.

00:01:09.440 Hold on.

00:01:11.120 Do you see how many notes are printing?

00:01:13.060 When you hear that much printing,

00:01:15.060 it means a good show.

00:01:17.060 A good show is coming up.

00:01:18.060 Hold on.

00:01:18.440 Oh, I can't reach.

00:01:23.100 Oh, I'm tied in.

00:01:32.600 You know the thing that sets the show apart?

00:01:35.820 I'll tell you what sets the show apart.

00:01:39.200 Low production values.

00:01:41.740 Yeah.

00:01:42.260 If you go to other places,

00:01:43.760 you're going to get,

00:01:44.780 oh, a bunch of fancy background sets,

00:01:47.820 and probably the audio will work almost every time.

00:01:51.220 But do you get this?

00:01:54.380 No.

00:01:54.940 No.

00:01:55.800 This is casual.

00:01:57.880 This makes you feel comfortable.

00:02:00.100 This is the thing that you want more than anything,

00:02:03.260 but you also want it to happen in its proper order,

00:02:06.080 because that's the way you've been taught.

00:02:10.900 Good morning, everybody.

00:02:12.600 How would you like to participate in the simultaneous step?

00:02:16.280 I know you would.

00:02:17.700 Here's the sound.

00:02:19.540 That's what you've been waiting for.

00:02:21.560 And now,

00:02:22.440 now that your day has gone from the depths of incompetence

00:02:27.560 to the height of mastering what we call the simulation,

00:02:32.720 if you'd like to take it up another notch,

00:02:34.240 all you need is a cup of margaro glass,

00:02:36.520 a tank or chalice or sign,

00:02:37.800 a canteen jug or a flask,

00:02:39.360 a vessel of any kind.

00:02:41.740 Fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:02:43.520 I like coffee.

00:02:45.060 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:02:48.520 the dopamine hit of the day.

00:02:49.840 Wait.

00:02:50.640 Wait.

00:02:51.300 Hold on.

00:02:52.280 Hold on.

00:02:53.220 I'm going to teach you something.

00:02:54.320 Hold on.

00:02:54.880 Hold on.

00:02:55.420 Hold on.

00:02:56.320 Hold on.

00:02:56.660 Put down your cup.

00:02:59.400 Today, we're going to take a page out of George Costanza's book.

00:03:03.460 We're going to combine two of the most awesome things in the world.

00:03:06.840 You can do it your own way.

00:03:08.720 We're going to be skill stacking the simultaneous sip.

00:03:12.020 We're not only going to be sipping your favorite beverage,

00:03:15.100 but at the same time,

00:03:16.180 I will be using this back scratcher

00:03:17.740 to scratch that itch in the middle of my back

00:03:20.060 that I've been waiting all day to get.

00:03:22.300 Watch this.

00:03:22.860 The same time.

00:03:23.520 You can do it at home, too.

00:03:24.540 Go.

00:03:24.780 Go.

00:03:25.260 Oh.

00:03:27.120 Mmm.

00:03:28.580 Oh.

00:03:30.000 Double pleasure.

00:03:31.180 Oh.

00:03:31.380 Wow.

00:03:37.020 Everybody.

00:03:37.740 Everybody.

00:03:38.300 I don't know.

00:03:40.220 Yeah, if you do the ham sandwich plus the sex,

00:03:43.020 that's what George Costanza taught us in Seinfeld,

00:03:45.760 you can double your pleasure,

00:03:47.820 and I think I just did it for you.

00:03:51.080 All right.

00:03:53.080 Now, here's what we've got going on.

00:03:55.580 Let's see.

00:03:57.320 Let's see.

00:03:58.040 Uh, apparently, uh, Ukraine is offering some kind of a, uh, uh, land for peace deal.

00:04:05.820 So it looks like maybe the peace deal in Ukraine will be Russia keeps, you know,

00:04:12.060 their land bridge, and they keep the east of Ukraine,

00:04:15.080 and maybe, maybe the rest of Ukraine stays Ukraine.

00:04:18.720 Who knows?

00:04:19.140 But I saw a, uh, provocative tweet by somebody named, uh, Inna Sofsson,

00:04:25.580 and maybe a pro-Ukraine person,

00:04:29.520 and says,

00:04:30.360 for anyone asking me, quote,

00:04:32.640 maybe you should give up Crimea and Donbass in exchange for peace,

00:04:36.300 before asking this question,

00:04:38.500 name me the specific region in your country

00:04:40.760 you would be willing to give up if Putin started bombing your cities.

00:04:45.740 That's a good question.

00:04:46.980 All right.

00:04:48.260 If, uh, if Putin were bombing your country,

00:04:51.540 could you name any part of your country you'd be willing to give up?

00:04:55.180 Well, I would start with Detroit,

00:04:57.440 but, uh, that would depend a lot on Putin not Googling it.

00:05:02.700 Um, but, you know, we could just say,

00:05:06.020 hey, Motown, Motown,

00:05:07.700 and then Putin would be, well, that sounds good.

00:05:10.540 So if we could end a war,

00:05:12.460 uh, a war that was destroying the country,

00:05:16.140 and the only thing we had to give Putin was Detroit,

00:05:19.420 I'd at least talk about it,

00:05:23.200 um, I'd throw in San Francisco just as a sweetener.

00:05:27.380 I mean, he doesn't even have to ask for that one.

00:05:29.560 He'd be like, okay, we'll stop the war,

00:05:31.540 you just have to give us Detroit.

00:05:32.780 And I'd say, wait, are you done negotiating?

00:05:36.060 He'd go, yeah, yeah, well, just Detroit.

00:05:38.060 It's all we need.

00:05:38.840 We'll stop the war.

00:05:39.580 Ooh.

00:05:40.460 I'd be like, could we offer you more?

00:05:43.860 And he'd be like, well, you're a bad negotiator.

00:05:46.380 I've just agreed to take Detroit in return for stopping the war.

00:05:50.820 And I'd say, yes, but I was going to offer San Francisco.

00:05:56.440 You know, if we could just reopen the negotiations just for a minute,

00:06:00.040 maybe take that off my hands too.

00:06:02.940 Delaware, another fine suggestion.

00:06:05.460 Rhode Island, we could give him some of the small stuff.

00:06:08.300 He might not know the difference.

00:06:10.940 All right.

00:06:12.680 Here's the most fascinating thing.

00:06:15.280 Glenn Greenwald is all over this,

00:06:17.180 about how the CIA and the mainstream media are rewriting history.

00:06:23.540 And he's talking about the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:06:27.620 And you know how the story came out

00:06:30.860 that there was provocative stuff on the laptop

00:06:33.820 about Ukraine and business dealings

00:06:36.060 when Biden was vice president.

00:06:40.640 And, you know, the media just made that story go away.

00:06:44.800 And they made it go away before the election.

00:06:47.180 And it could have made a big difference.

00:06:48.980 Could have. Don't know.

00:06:50.660 So that was a gigantic story that the media just made go away.

00:06:55.440 But then as time goes by,

00:06:57.100 it turns out that the story was real.

00:07:02.620 And now we can confirm that the CIA

00:07:05.500 and various intelligence agencies

00:07:07.620 colluded to make an important story go away

00:07:11.400 to rig the election, or at least to influence it.

00:07:14.820 I call that rigging.

00:07:15.780 But let's say influence.

00:07:19.140 And then, but then the interesting thing happens was,

00:07:22.740 so the original story goes away,

00:07:24.700 but then when it is validated much later,

00:07:28.040 the story about the story going away goes away.

00:07:33.960 Now here's something you need to understand about persuasion.

00:07:38.520 Persuasion is everything about memory.

00:07:40.960 And this is a good way to think of it.

00:07:44.100 The things that you remember are the only things you act on.

00:07:47.960 It makes sense, right?

00:07:49.620 You know, when I say it, you're like,

00:07:51.140 well, that makes sense.

00:07:52.700 If something's not in your mind in any way,

00:07:55.920 you don't act on it.

00:07:57.380 So memories are what you're trying to create.

00:07:59.660 You're trying to make a stronger memory

00:08:01.940 for the thing you want to persuade

00:08:03.240 than the memory of something else.

00:08:05.380 So you're going to act on your strongest memory.

00:08:08.860 And here's a situation where the CIA,

00:08:14.100 with whatever persuasion technology it has,

00:08:17.280 working with the mainstream media,

00:08:19.280 made a gigantic story go away.

00:08:21.560 And then, just to show you how much

00:08:25.280 they could influence your memory,

00:08:28.160 they made the story about the story going away

00:08:32.060 go away.

00:08:35.600 And if they can make the story go away,

00:08:38.700 and then they can make the story about the story

00:08:42.140 going away going away,

00:08:44.000 then what else can they make go away?

00:08:46.720 And by they, I mean...

00:08:51.720 Well, by they, I mean...

00:08:55.540 And the story about the...

00:08:58.720 What were we just talking about?

00:09:02.880 I forget the topic.

00:09:06.000 Was there something about...

00:09:07.720 I think it was something about

00:09:09.600 Chris Rock getting slapped.

00:09:12.800 Yeah, that's what it was.

00:09:14.100 So let's talk about that.

00:09:16.720 I feel like there was something

00:09:17.640 I'm forgetting, though.

00:09:19.920 No, no, I think it was about the Oscars.

00:09:22.600 All right, do you remember

00:09:23.440 I gave you a prediction the other day

00:09:25.880 that was really weird?

00:09:29.460 But you're watching it come true in real time.

00:09:33.000 Faster than I imagined.

00:09:35.260 And the prediction goes like this.

00:09:39.400 The growth of mushrooms

00:09:41.560 as a drug of probably great medical value,

00:09:47.600 some recreational value as well.

00:09:49.720 But honestly, the people who take it recreationally

00:09:52.120 end up saying that the health value

00:09:55.400 is the bigger part, the mental health part.

00:09:58.840 And I told you that the growth of mushrooms,

00:10:01.680 especially now that it's been commoditized

00:10:03.840 and the stigma has been removed,

00:10:06.660 that it would change civilization.

00:10:10.940 Remember?

00:10:12.060 So this isn't just another drug.

00:10:14.800 In a way, you could say fentanyl

00:10:16.180 is changing civilization,

00:10:17.840 but in the worst possible way.

00:10:20.200 But mushrooms are going to change civilization

00:10:22.380 probably in a positive way.

00:10:24.960 And one of the ways it does that

00:10:26.360 is it destroys your ego

00:10:28.240 and allows you to just consider new things.

00:10:31.780 So it makes you more creative.

00:10:35.060 So one of the things I predicted

00:10:36.220 is that the United States

00:10:37.540 would dominate China in the future

00:10:40.260 in large part, not small part,

00:10:43.420 in large part.

00:10:44.540 This is what makes the prediction interesting.

00:10:47.500 Not in small part,

00:10:49.200 but one of the biggest reasons,

00:10:51.000 the biggest reasons

00:10:51.840 that the United States will dominate technology

00:10:54.580 and entrepreneurship in the future

00:10:56.200 is that we're going to do more mushrooms.

00:10:59.320 And again, I don't recommend

00:11:00.440 this or any other drug.

00:11:01.780 Just to be clear,

00:11:03.340 I'm not recommending you take anything.

00:11:05.920 Right?

00:11:06.460 Every drug has a danger.

00:11:07.860 I'm not a doctor.

00:11:09.520 Blah, blah, blah.

00:11:10.200 We're talking about them.

00:11:11.200 We're not recommending them.

00:11:12.820 So I'm going to give you an example

00:11:14.380 of where that wild prediction

00:11:16.600 is already happening.

00:11:18.620 Right in front of you.

00:11:21.260 Chris Rock was in the news,

00:11:22.820 as you know,

00:11:23.560 for getting slapped by Will Smith

00:11:25.280 at the Oscars.

00:11:27.180 Do you know that Chris Rock

00:11:28.600 is going on a world tour

00:11:31.120 comedy tour?

00:11:32.680 Do you know what the name

00:11:34.220 of the comedy tour is?

00:11:38.380 Somebody say it.

00:11:39.660 You know what it is.

00:11:41.280 What is the comedy tour named?

00:11:43.060 It's already named.

00:11:44.040 Chris Rock's comedy tour.

00:11:46.680 It's called Ego Death World Tour.

00:11:50.260 Ego Death World Tour.

00:11:52.960 Now, what is Ego Death?

00:11:58.060 Ego Death comes from

00:11:59.540 using hallucinogens

00:12:01.260 and usually mushrooms.

00:12:03.220 What are the odds?

00:12:04.820 What are the odds

00:12:05.720 that there's a big story

00:12:07.320 about mushrooms

00:12:08.060 and that the person

00:12:10.620 who's in the news

00:12:11.580 is doing a world tour

00:12:14.000 called Ego Death?

00:12:15.140 Is that a coincidence?

00:12:18.680 Now,

00:12:20.520 what else,

00:12:21.300 what is the,

00:12:22.020 also the biggest surprise,

00:12:24.340 maybe,

00:12:25.000 about Chris Rock

00:12:26.300 getting slapped?

00:12:28.320 Did you hear that

00:12:29.260 he apologized?

00:12:31.860 If you didn't hear that,

00:12:33.240 what's that doing

00:12:34.020 to your head?

00:12:35.380 Chris Rock

00:12:36.180 apologized

00:12:38.300 unreservedly.

00:12:40.440 He's the one

00:12:41.100 who got slapped.

00:12:41.920 He told a joke

00:12:43.840 as a comedian.

00:12:45.760 In the role of a comedian,

00:12:47.440 he told a joke.

00:12:48.740 He got slapped hard

00:12:50.300 and he apologized

00:12:52.760 unreservedly.

00:12:55.600 Who can do that?

00:12:58.600 Oh, here we go.

00:12:59.660 Here we go.

00:13:00.620 That's the comment

00:13:01.440 I was looking for.

00:13:02.080 Somebody said,

00:13:02.620 pussy.

00:13:04.140 Yeah,

00:13:04.500 wimp, right?

00:13:06.340 Weak.

00:13:07.660 Weak.

00:13:09.820 Oh,

00:13:10.400 stop getting ahead of me.

00:13:12.500 Somebody said,

00:13:13.380 Jesus.

00:13:14.880 So half of you said

00:13:16.000 he's a weak pussy

00:13:16.900 and some of you said

00:13:17.980 he's like Jesus.

00:13:19.740 Make up your mind.

00:13:21.840 You know what he is?

00:13:23.800 He's a person

00:13:24.920 who has controlled

00:13:26.320 his ego.

00:13:27.840 Ego death.

00:13:29.800 Do you think

00:13:30.340 he named that world tour

00:13:31.880 ego death

00:13:32.660 because he hadn't

00:13:33.420 experienced it?

00:13:35.520 Oh, no.

00:13:37.660 This is,

00:13:38.500 there are no

00:13:39.120 coincidences here.

00:13:41.140 I'm just guessing,

00:13:42.580 right?

00:13:42.860 But I'm putting

00:13:43.900 two and two together

00:13:44.940 and it usually

00:13:45.760 equals four.

00:13:46.760 We could be surprised,

00:13:47.780 right?

00:13:48.080 Because I'm acknowledging

00:13:49.540 that I'm taking

00:13:50.920 some leaps

00:13:51.600 and assumptions.

00:13:52.320 But if you name

00:13:53.820 your world tour

00:13:54.660 ego death,

00:13:56.280 you're thinking

00:13:57.000 mushrooms.

00:13:58.780 If you're thinking

00:13:59.780 them,

00:14:00.100 you've done them.

00:14:01.300 If you've done them,

00:14:02.460 you've experienced it.

00:14:04.620 He's probably

00:14:05.400 recently experienced

00:14:06.720 ego death.

00:14:08.720 His response

00:14:09.700 is the response,

00:14:11.580 you know,

00:14:11.760 the apologizing

00:14:12.760 for being slapped

00:14:13.980 is the most aware

00:14:17.160 thing you'll ever see

00:14:18.640 in your whole

00:14:19.100 fucking life.

00:14:19.820 It's one of the

00:14:21.440 most impressive

00:14:22.020 things anybody

00:14:22.700 ever did.

00:14:23.800 But it doesn't

00:14:24.260 look that way,

00:14:25.140 does it?

00:14:26.200 It looks like,

00:14:27.280 to those of you

00:14:28.120 operating at a

00:14:29.020 lower level,

00:14:30.660 it looks like

00:14:31.760 he caved.

00:14:32.900 He was weak.

00:14:34.260 He gave in.

00:14:36.260 Right?

00:14:37.740 Those of you

00:14:38.560 operating at a

00:14:39.880 post-mushroom

00:14:41.880 level,

00:14:42.900 those of you

00:14:43.500 who have

00:14:43.700 experienced ego

00:14:44.760 death,

00:14:45.700 might be seeing

00:14:46.300 a different movie.

00:14:46.940 The movie

00:14:48.620 you're seeing

00:14:49.140 is somebody

00:14:49.520 who took

00:14:49.880 full responsibility

00:14:50.920 for his own

00:14:51.720 actions.

00:14:53.620 What?

00:14:55.380 That's right.

00:14:56.860 He took

00:14:57.280 full responsibility,

00:14:58.500 not partial,

00:14:59.740 not partial,

00:15:01.260 full responsibility

00:15:02.480 for his own

00:15:04.020 actions,

00:15:04.800 because they're

00:15:05.560 the actions

00:15:06.060 that cause

00:15:06.540 the other

00:15:06.880 action.

00:15:08.360 Now,

00:15:09.020 in the real

00:15:09.800 world,

00:15:10.140 does anybody

00:15:10.540 ever do that?

00:15:11.980 Almost never.

00:15:13.480 Almost never.

00:15:14.540 Generally speaking,

00:15:15.440 you would have

00:15:15.800 expected him to

00:15:16.520 hedge and

00:15:17.560 say,

00:15:17.840 well,

00:15:18.580 you know,

00:15:19.140 I thought I

00:15:19.580 was just

00:15:19.880 making a joke,

00:15:21.540 but it was

00:15:22.240 sort of a mistake.

00:15:23.720 Nope.

00:15:24.180 Took full

00:15:24.620 responsibility.

00:15:26.620 Now,

00:15:26.860 somebody says

00:15:27.320 it was fake.

00:15:28.940 If he did

00:15:29.600 not have a

00:15:30.520 tour called

00:15:31.220 ego death,

00:15:32.140 I might have

00:15:32.560 said so,

00:15:33.040 too.

00:15:34.460 Scott has

00:15:35.040 jumped the

00:15:35.560 shark.

00:15:36.300 You can tell

00:15:37.160 the people

00:15:37.460 who have

00:15:37.640 never done

00:15:38.000 mushrooms,

00:15:38.960 the people

00:15:39.460 who say

00:15:39.800 I've jumped

00:15:40.240 the shark.

00:15:42.080 That's a good

00:15:42.780 tell.

00:15:43.420 For somebody

00:15:43.960 whose ego

00:15:44.640 is completely

00:15:46.200 owning them.

00:15:47.440 If you want

00:15:48.260 to be totally

00:15:48.980 owned by

00:15:49.600 your ego,

00:15:50.240 just make

00:15:50.600 comments like

00:15:51.420 that.

00:15:51.760 NPC comments.

00:15:54.100 All right.

00:15:55.240 So,

00:15:56.620 there's a

00:15:57.020 second part

00:15:57.520 of this

00:15:57.820 that's even

00:15:58.340 more

00:15:58.920 mushroomy.

00:16:01.080 So,

00:16:01.500 while it

00:16:01.980 seems to me

00:16:02.500 that Chris

00:16:02.900 Rock has

00:16:03.980 demonstrated,

00:16:04.680 not only by

00:16:05.240 his immediate

00:16:05.760 reaction,

00:16:06.800 but in my

00:16:07.300 opinion,

00:16:08.300 and again,

00:16:08.760 this is all

00:16:09.180 very subjective,

00:16:10.240 so there's

00:16:10.900 plenty of room

00:16:11.400 for you to

00:16:11.820 disagree,

00:16:12.140 but in my

00:16:13.020 opinion,

00:16:14.700 Chris Rock's

00:16:15.320 handling of

00:16:15.900 this went

00:16:16.360 from sort

00:16:17.780 of interesting,

00:16:18.940 you know,

00:16:19.140 that he,

00:16:20.320 and maybe

00:16:20.760 professional,

00:16:21.480 I guess,

00:16:22.180 that he managed

00:16:22.680 to carry on

00:16:23.220 with the show,

00:16:23.920 which is kind

00:16:24.540 of impressive,

00:16:25.340 but when he

00:16:26.100 went full

00:16:26.760 responsibility in

00:16:28.920 public and

00:16:29.860 didn't hedge it

00:16:30.560 at all,

00:16:31.540 to me,

00:16:31.980 that was very

00:16:32.700 impressive.

00:16:34.360 And here's

00:16:35.180 the thing,

00:16:36.000 do you think

00:16:36.580 he doesn't

00:16:37.100 know that

00:16:38.580 he'll be

00:16:38.980 called a

00:16:39.380 wimp?

00:16:40.400 Of course

00:16:40.960 he does.

00:16:42.400 Do you

00:16:42.620 think he

00:16:42.900 doesn't know

00:16:43.580 that the

00:16:44.460 way he

00:16:44.820 handled it

00:16:45.300 doesn't

00:16:45.560 look manly?

00:16:47.860 Yeah,

00:16:48.420 yeah,

00:16:48.780 he knows

00:16:49.120 that.

00:16:49.860 Yep,

00:16:50.960 perfectly

00:16:51.400 aware.

00:16:52.160 Do you

00:16:52.400 think he's

00:16:52.720 not aware

00:16:53.100 that he

00:16:53.400 was the

00:16:53.760 smaller man

00:16:54.540 and a

00:16:55.420 larger man

00:16:55.940 just beat

00:16:56.340 the shit

00:16:56.680 out of him

00:16:57.580 on TV?

00:16:59.500 Yep.

00:17:00.700 Do you

00:17:01.240 think he's

00:17:01.640 handling it?

00:17:03.560 Yep.

00:17:04.720 It looks

00:17:05.380 like he can

00:17:05.940 control his

00:17:06.540 ego.

00:17:08.760 Here's the

00:17:09.360 better part

00:17:09.820 of this.

00:17:10.540 If you

00:17:10.900 look on

00:17:11.220 social media,

00:17:12.180 it's just

00:17:12.800 full of

00:17:13.440 people making

00:17:14.040 the same

00:17:14.720 NPC comment,

00:17:17.280 which is

00:17:17.760 that Will

00:17:18.460 Smith is

00:17:19.240 a cuckold

00:17:20.060 because he

00:17:21.240 allows his

00:17:21.780 wife to

00:17:22.460 date other

00:17:23.100 men.

00:17:24.600 Now,

00:17:25.800 where's the

00:17:26.560 part where

00:17:27.760 you know

00:17:28.220 what Will

00:17:28.660 Smith is

00:17:29.080 doing in

00:17:29.440 his spare

00:17:29.780 time?

00:17:32.340 Isn't

00:17:32.820 there something

00:17:33.180 missing in

00:17:33.700 the story?

00:17:34.940 Isn't it

00:17:35.320 more like

00:17:35.840 two people

00:17:36.760 who have

00:17:37.180 decided to

00:17:37.780 have a,

00:17:38.800 let's say,

00:17:40.000 an important

00:17:40.620 primary

00:17:41.580 relationship,

00:17:42.820 but they've

00:17:44.060 both decided

00:17:44.780 that they

00:17:45.300 will have

00:17:45.760 exterior

00:17:46.780 relationships

00:17:47.440 and that

00:17:47.980 that will

00:17:48.260 be part

00:17:48.660 of their

00:17:48.980 going forward?

00:17:51.500 Now,

00:17:52.240 what makes

00:17:53.300 that bad

00:17:53.860 for Will

00:17:54.300 Smith?

00:17:56.060 May I

00:17:56.800 give you

00:17:57.840 a little

00:17:58.260 bit of

00:17:58.740 reality?

00:18:01.720 Somebody

00:18:02.200 says Will

00:18:02.720 Smith is

00:18:03.160 gay.

00:18:03.560 I don't

00:18:03.800 think so.

00:18:05.020 I don't

00:18:05.520 think so.

00:18:06.700 Here's

00:18:07.000 what I

00:18:07.260 think.

00:18:09.120 Would you

00:18:09.740 agree with

00:18:10.240 the following

00:18:10.720 statement that

00:18:11.660 Will Smith

00:18:12.140 is probably,

00:18:13.680 probably,

00:18:14.820 one of the

00:18:15.260 most desired

00:18:16.460 men in

00:18:18.300 Hollywood?

00:18:19.420 That women

00:18:20.020 would flock

00:18:21.400 to be with

00:18:21.980 him,

00:18:22.160 would you

00:18:22.380 say?

00:18:23.260 Can anybody

00:18:24.020 agree with

00:18:24.820 me on

00:18:25.060 that?

00:18:25.460 Yeah.

00:18:26.160 I mean,

00:18:26.400 he would

00:18:26.600 be,

00:18:27.180 he's fit,

00:18:27.960 he's funny,

00:18:28.380 he's rich,

00:18:29.120 he's successful,

00:18:30.540 he's got a

00:18:31.000 lot going

00:18:31.280 for him.

00:18:32.060 So I

00:18:32.340 would say

00:18:32.620 that he

00:18:33.500 could probably

00:18:34.220 have as

00:18:35.660 much sex

00:18:36.180 as he

00:18:36.480 wanted of

00:18:37.400 the highest

00:18:37.840 quality.

00:18:39.080 Would you

00:18:39.440 agree with

00:18:39.820 that?

00:18:41.360 Does anybody

00:18:41.960 disagree with

00:18:42.620 that?

00:18:43.340 That if he

00:18:43.920 wanted, he

00:18:45.160 could have

00:18:45.500 the highest

00:18:46.000 quality and

00:18:46.860 the most

00:18:47.240 sex he

00:18:47.840 wanted.

00:18:49.180 Why do

00:18:49.720 you think

00:18:49.940 he's not

00:18:50.300 doing that?

00:18:52.520 What in

00:18:53.100 the world,

00:18:53.820 what in

00:18:54.600 the world

00:18:55.180 would make

00:18:56.140 you think

00:18:56.500 he's not

00:18:56.880 doing that?

00:18:58.240 Now, yeah,

00:18:59.020 I hear the

00:18:59.620 theory that

00:19:00.080 he's gay,

00:19:00.860 but all

00:19:01.640 evidence suggests

00:19:02.380 that's not

00:19:02.800 the case.

00:19:04.220 right?

00:19:05.080 So,

00:19:05.940 think about

00:19:07.660 Will Smith's

00:19:08.540 ego.

00:19:10.280 Think about

00:19:10.780 this.

00:19:11.480 Will Smith

00:19:12.020 knows exactly

00:19:12.780 what everybody's

00:19:13.420 saying about

00:19:13.860 him, right?

00:19:15.400 You assume

00:19:16.160 that's true.

00:19:17.080 He's completely

00:19:17.960 aware that

00:19:20.100 the internet

00:19:20.640 thinks that

00:19:21.440 he's letting

00:19:21.940 his wife sleep

00:19:22.600 around, but

00:19:23.300 he's not

00:19:24.100 for some

00:19:24.480 reason.

00:19:26.360 Where's the

00:19:27.020 part where

00:19:27.500 Will Smith

00:19:27.960 says, hey,

00:19:28.920 hey, everybody,

00:19:30.080 don't you know

00:19:30.640 that I'm doing

00:19:31.200 it too?

00:19:31.560 I don't

00:19:31.680 know.

00:19:34.220 I'm

00:19:38.400 seeing a

00:19:38.800 comment on

00:19:43.860 Locals that

00:19:44.480 was, let's

00:19:45.280 say, off

00:19:45.720 color, but

00:19:46.280 very funny.

00:19:47.820 I'll just

00:19:48.280 tell you what

00:19:49.040 it was.

00:19:49.920 There was

00:19:50.380 some gentleman

00:19:51.800 on the

00:19:52.560 Locals platform

00:19:53.420 talking about

00:19:54.540 Will Smith

00:19:55.120 who says,

00:19:56.040 I blew him

00:19:57.520 and I can

00:19:58.000 confirm he's

00:19:58.620 gay.

00:19:58.860 probably not.

00:20:02.480 Probably not.

00:20:03.240 It probably

00:20:03.660 didn't happen.

00:20:05.060 Anyway, ask

00:20:07.120 yourself this.

00:20:08.740 Is Will

00:20:09.240 Smith operating

00:20:10.080 at a low

00:20:11.020 level of

00:20:11.920 awareness or

00:20:12.720 a high level

00:20:13.280 of awareness?

00:20:14.500 At a lower

00:20:15.040 level of

00:20:15.560 awareness, what

00:20:16.200 would you

00:20:16.500 expect him

00:20:17.100 to say to

00:20:18.620 defend himself

00:20:19.460 against all

00:20:20.020 these claims?

00:20:21.320 You'd expect

00:20:21.960 him to say,

00:20:23.300 well, you know,

00:20:23.720 I'm doing it

00:20:24.220 too.

00:20:25.440 It's not just

00:20:26.260 my wife who's

00:20:27.500 dating guys.

00:20:28.860 You know, I'm

00:20:29.880 up to my

00:20:30.720 balls and

00:20:32.640 strange every

00:20:33.660 day.

00:20:34.940 But because he

00:20:36.080 apparently is

00:20:36.900 operating at

00:20:37.560 some kind of

00:20:38.060 higher level,

00:20:39.460 apparently, he

00:20:41.060 actually lets

00:20:41.660 this ride.

00:20:43.340 The only thing

00:20:44.360 I've seen as

00:20:44.960 impressive as

00:20:45.700 this, and I've

00:20:46.360 told you this

00:20:46.760 before, is

00:20:47.640 Richard Gere,

00:20:49.160 who never

00:20:49.720 denied the

00:20:51.460 rumor, which

00:20:52.000 I'm sure is

00:20:52.600 not true.

00:20:53.620 He never

00:20:54.120 denied the

00:20:54.720 rumor that he

00:20:55.220 once went to

00:20:55.780 the emergency

00:20:56.440 room where

00:20:56.960 the gerbil

00:20:57.480 stuck up

00:20:58.040 his butthole

00:20:59.120 as some

00:21:00.480 sort of

00:21:00.960 alleged sex

00:21:01.880 play.

00:21:02.680 Now, personally,

00:21:03.500 I don't think

00:21:03.860 there's any

00:21:04.260 chance it's

00:21:04.800 true, but

00:21:05.780 because it

00:21:06.200 was a

00:21:06.660 gigantic

00:21:07.140 rumor for

00:21:07.900 decades, you

00:21:09.360 think at

00:21:09.860 least once

00:21:10.600 Richard Gere

00:21:11.820 would say,

00:21:12.220 oh, that's

00:21:12.460 not true.

00:21:13.880 But I

00:21:14.340 love the

00:21:15.060 fact he

00:21:15.440 never did

00:21:15.900 that.

00:21:16.720 I love

00:21:17.240 that.

00:21:18.060 Like, it

00:21:18.340 just made

00:21:18.680 me respect

00:21:19.320 him so

00:21:19.700 much.

00:21:20.240 And not

00:21:20.680 respect him

00:21:21.220 because of

00:21:21.600 the way he

00:21:21.940 handled it

00:21:22.400 necessarily,

00:21:23.680 but respect

00:21:24.400 him because he

00:21:24.980 didn't need

00:21:25.680 to do it a

00:21:26.220 different way,

00:21:26.740 apparently.

00:21:28.640 Like, he

00:21:28.980 didn't have

00:21:29.360 any lower

00:21:31.120 awareness need

00:21:32.340 to defend

00:21:32.900 himself.

00:21:34.100 He just

00:21:34.420 let it ride.

00:21:35.980 And it

00:21:36.540 looks to me

00:21:37.000 like Will

00:21:37.420 Smith is

00:21:37.860 doing the

00:21:38.200 same thing.

00:21:39.560 I mean, he

00:21:40.280 is really

00:21:40.680 being viciously

00:21:41.900 attacked for

00:21:42.760 his lifestyle.

00:21:43.480 and the

00:21:45.260 most obvious

00:21:45.900 thing about

00:21:46.400 his lifestyle

00:21:46.960 is that he's

00:21:47.660 getting so

00:21:48.100 much sex

00:21:49.200 that he's

00:21:49.880 probably just

00:21:50.340 exhausted half

00:21:51.100 the time.

00:21:52.520 So, why

00:21:54.940 did you

00:21:55.300 imagine it

00:21:55.900 was any

00:21:56.200 other way?

00:21:59.880 Have you

00:22:00.500 partied with

00:22:01.060 the Smiths?

00:22:03.380 No, but it

00:22:04.140 sounds like a

00:22:04.640 good time.

00:22:07.220 I can't

00:22:07.920 imagine anything

00:22:08.460 that would be

00:22:08.820 more fun than

00:22:09.440 that.

00:22:10.040 Somebody said,

00:22:10.620 have I

00:22:11.160 partied with

00:22:12.280 the Smiths?

00:22:14.000 Like, literally,

00:22:14.780 I can't think of

00:22:15.280 anything that

00:22:15.640 would be more

00:22:16.060 fun than that.

00:22:17.280 Can you

00:22:17.560 imagine?

00:22:19.260 Imagine getting

00:22:19.980 invited to

00:22:21.060 one of their

00:22:21.720 parties.

00:22:22.920 I'm not

00:22:23.440 trying to get

00:22:24.240 invited to a

00:22:24.820 party.

00:22:25.100 I'm just

00:22:25.280 saying, if

00:22:25.780 you imagine

00:22:26.220 that, it

00:22:26.840 couldn't be a

00:22:27.300 bad time.

00:22:28.840 Wouldn't be a

00:22:29.360 bad time.

00:22:31.080 All right,

00:22:31.480 here's the

00:22:31.820 greatest tweet

00:22:33.060 about that.

00:22:36.220 Oh, and by

00:22:36.680 the way, we

00:22:37.020 don't know if

00:22:37.480 Chris Rock knew

00:22:38.600 about the

00:22:40.020 alopecia or

00:22:40.800 not.

00:22:41.720 We're not

00:22:42.200 sure if he

00:22:42.580 knew about

00:22:42.900 that.

00:22:44.420 But probably,

00:22:45.340 I think not,

00:22:46.940 right?

00:22:47.620 Which would

00:22:47.980 explain the

00:22:48.500 whole thing.

00:22:50.180 All right,

00:22:51.260 here's a

00:22:51.780 tweet that

00:22:52.180 sums it up.

00:22:52.900 Julius Sharp

00:22:53.860 tweeted this.

00:22:55.260 He said,

00:22:55.500 last night

00:22:56.860 was show

00:22:57.660 business in a

00:22:58.460 nutshell.

00:22:59.520 A performer

00:23:00.060 gets punched

00:23:00.820 in front of

00:23:01.460 everyone.

00:23:02.300 No one does

00:23:02.800 anything to

00:23:03.340 stop it,

00:23:03.920 and everyone

00:23:04.540 acts like it

00:23:05.240 didn't happen.

00:23:06.320 The puncher

00:23:07.080 gets an award

00:23:07.820 and a standing

00:23:08.440 ovation.

00:23:10.020 And the

00:23:11.280 funniest thing

00:23:11.800 about that

00:23:12.240 is that

00:23:12.620 that's just

00:23:13.320 a description

00:23:13.900 of what

00:23:14.300 happened.

00:23:15.900 Right?

00:23:16.880 He didn't

00:23:17.380 have to add

00:23:17.800 anything.

00:23:18.500 It was just

00:23:18.840 a description

00:23:19.440 of what

00:23:19.800 happened.

00:23:21.160 All right.

00:23:24.380 Did you

00:23:24.940 see that

00:23:25.360 Trump got

00:23:26.400 a hole in

00:23:26.840 one?

00:23:29.240 So,

00:23:30.160 if you're

00:23:31.300 not aware

00:23:31.740 of how

00:23:32.300 golf works,

00:23:33.600 there are

00:23:33.960 some holes

00:23:34.540 on a golf

00:23:35.020 course that

00:23:35.600 are very

00:23:36.160 long.

00:23:37.060 it would

00:23:37.760 take

00:23:38.020 several

00:23:38.620 strikes with

00:23:40.820 your

00:23:41.120 instrument

00:23:42.420 to get

00:23:42.800 there.

00:23:43.720 And then

00:23:43.960 there's

00:23:44.180 some that

00:23:44.600 you can

00:23:44.880 reach the

00:23:45.320 green with

00:23:45.860 your driver,

00:23:47.340 or not

00:23:47.720 usually your

00:23:48.320 driver,

00:23:48.700 but some

00:23:49.520 you can

00:23:49.800 reach the

00:23:50.160 green with

00:23:50.880 a five-iron,

00:23:53.440 as Trump

00:23:54.220 did.

00:23:55.220 And so,

00:23:55.800 if you can

00:23:56.180 reach it in

00:23:56.620 the first

00:23:56.920 shot,

00:23:57.340 there's a

00:23:57.660 chance that

00:23:58.020 it might

00:23:58.260 fall in

00:23:58.640 that hole.

00:23:59.620 And it

00:23:59.920 looks like

00:24:00.380 Trump is

00:24:01.560 claiming that

00:24:02.660 he did that

00:24:03.220 and he's got

00:24:03.680 witnesses.

00:24:04.920 And one of

00:24:05.380 them is a

00:24:05.740 professional

00:24:06.180 golfer,

00:24:06.720 so it

00:24:07.140 sounds like

00:24:07.520 a pretty

00:24:07.740 good witness.

00:24:08.780 But the

00:24:09.540 part you

00:24:09.920 have to

00:24:10.260 see,

00:24:11.640 and I

00:24:12.180 keep saying

00:24:12.700 this,

00:24:13.180 and I

00:24:13.360 think people

00:24:15.820 are starting

00:24:16.400 to understand,

00:24:18.120 Trump is

00:24:18.760 a really

00:24:19.460 good writer.

00:24:22.040 Does

00:24:22.340 everybody get

00:24:22.900 that?

00:24:24.380 That whatever

00:24:25.060 you want to

00:24:25.520 say about

00:24:25.980 him in any

00:24:27.000 other realm,

00:24:28.260 he's a

00:24:28.700 really good

00:24:29.300 writer.

00:24:30.180 Every sentence

00:24:30.960 he writes,

00:24:31.700 you can't

00:24:32.240 look away.

00:24:34.420 You know,

00:24:34.600 somebody says

00:24:36.380 Steinbeck.

00:24:38.700 It's

00:24:39.220 something about

00:24:39.960 the visual

00:24:40.920 imagery,

00:24:41.780 it's something

00:24:42.200 about the

00:24:42.840 fact he

00:24:43.200 never says

00:24:43.840 what you

00:24:44.140 expect him

00:24:44.720 to say,

00:24:45.800 there's

00:24:46.080 something about

00:24:46.520 the complexity

00:24:47.180 of it,

00:24:47.740 there's

00:24:47.900 something about

00:24:48.340 the humor

00:24:48.880 in all of

00:24:49.480 it,

00:24:50.100 like everything

00:24:50.620 is tongue

00:24:51.060 in cheek,

00:24:51.800 but you're

00:24:52.100 not quite

00:24:53.000 sure,

00:24:53.940 and also

00:24:54.660 that the

00:24:55.080 joke is

00:24:55.460 on the

00:24:55.740 reader.

00:24:56.960 And you

00:24:57.200 know that

00:24:57.480 Trump is

00:24:59.360 making some

00:24:59.940 people upset

00:25:00.640 to entertain

00:25:01.220 other people,

00:25:02.600 and it's

00:25:02.920 working.

00:25:03.280 So I'm

00:25:04.380 not going

00:25:04.660 to read

00:25:04.980 the statement,

00:25:06.180 but I

00:25:06.420 will simply

00:25:07.880 turn you

00:25:08.440 toward it

00:25:08.920 and say,

00:25:10.000 if you get

00:25:10.280 a chance

00:25:10.600 to Google

00:25:11.160 Trump hole-in-one

00:25:12.860 and read his

00:25:13.820 statement about

00:25:14.460 it, it's

00:25:15.300 just a little

00:25:15.760 masterpiece.

00:25:16.880 It just

00:25:17.320 is.

00:25:17.940 It's just

00:25:18.560 a little

00:25:18.940 masterpiece.

00:25:21.200 All right.

00:25:26.300 What else

00:25:26.980 is happening?

00:25:27.840 Well,

00:25:28.140 the Wall

00:25:28.380 Street Journal

00:25:28.820 has a big

00:25:29.460 article,

00:25:29.760 and it's

00:25:30.940 proving once

00:25:32.440 again that

00:25:32.880 the Adam's

00:25:33.560 Law of

00:25:34.120 Slow-Moving

00:25:34.740 Disasters

00:25:35.380 is a darn

00:25:36.920 good one.

00:25:40.100 So the

00:25:40.800 Adam's Law of

00:25:41.680 Slow-Moving

00:25:42.220 Disasters

00:25:42.700 says if you

00:25:43.320 can see a

00:25:43.880 disaster coming

00:25:44.920 with enough

00:25:46.520 time to do

00:25:47.180 something,

00:25:47.760 we always

00:25:48.480 adjust.

00:25:49.720 Because there

00:25:50.220 have been

00:25:50.520 plenty of

00:25:51.140 world-ending

00:25:52.500 disasters.

00:25:53.660 We're all

00:25:54.180 going to run

00:25:54.500 out of food.

00:25:55.720 Well,

00:25:56.000 okay,

00:25:56.300 we didn't.

00:25:57.000 We're going

00:25:57.500 to run

00:25:57.740 out of

00:25:58.040 oil.

00:25:58.980 Okay,

00:25:59.440 we didn't.

00:26:00.920 So climate

00:26:01.820 change is going

00:26:02.420 to kill us

00:26:02.820 all?

00:26:03.240 It probably

00:26:03.640 won't.

00:26:04.800 So here's

00:26:05.420 what's happening

00:26:05.860 in climate

00:26:06.280 change.

00:26:06.900 Not only

00:26:07.420 are there,

00:26:08.560 let's see,

00:26:08.980 I think it

00:26:09.300 was maybe

00:26:10.600 a year and

00:26:11.040 a half ago

00:26:11.460 when I was

00:26:11.780 doing research

00:26:12.380 on this,

00:26:13.360 there were

00:26:13.600 about a

00:26:14.080 half a dozen

00:26:14.660 companies in

00:26:15.680 the carbon

00:26:16.840 removal business

00:26:18.180 where they

00:26:18.600 could suck

00:26:19.060 the carbon

00:26:19.500 right out of

00:26:20.040 the air or

00:26:20.760 right out of

00:26:21.240 the smokestack

00:26:21.900 and turn it

00:26:23.760 into a product

00:26:24.420 or store it

00:26:25.300 in rocks.

00:26:26.640 Basically get

00:26:27.320 it out of

00:26:27.620 the system.

00:26:29.040 And that

00:26:30.760 handful of

00:26:31.800 companies a

00:26:32.440 year and a

00:26:32.700 half ago has

00:26:34.000 now turned

00:26:34.560 into,

00:26:35.960 there were

00:26:37.220 200 companies

00:26:38.500 that asked

00:26:39.180 Shopify for

00:26:41.200 some investment

00:26:41.800 in that space.

00:26:43.340 And I guess

00:26:44.520 nine of them

00:26:45.280 they funded.

00:26:46.620 So one

00:26:47.220 company,

00:26:48.260 just Shopify,

00:26:49.980 got 200

00:26:51.280 applications in

00:26:52.440 this space

00:26:53.000 and funded

00:26:53.940 nine of them.

00:26:54.580 so there's

00:26:55.740 just immense,

00:26:57.640 immense energy

00:26:59.060 just went into

00:26:59.880 carbon capture

00:27:00.720 because anybody

00:27:02.040 who gets

00:27:02.420 something that

00:27:02.920 works is going

00:27:03.640 to be a

00:27:03.960 multi-billionaire.

00:27:05.780 Right?

00:27:06.400 There aren't

00:27:07.140 that many areas

00:27:08.680 left where

00:27:10.160 there's a virgin

00:27:11.100 field, you know,

00:27:11.960 it's just a field

00:27:12.460 and somebody's

00:27:13.620 going to be a

00:27:14.140 billionaire and

00:27:15.380 everybody wants

00:27:15.920 to be that

00:27:16.380 billionaire.

00:27:17.120 Somebody's going

00:27:17.640 to make the

00:27:17.960 better carbon

00:27:19.000 capture.

00:27:19.520 And the article

00:27:20.380 in the Wall

00:27:20.740 Street Journal

00:27:21.140 today goes

00:27:22.620 through a

00:27:23.200 number of

00:27:23.740 ways they're

00:27:24.380 doing it.

00:27:24.940 One of them

00:27:25.440 is a company

00:27:27.260 that uses

00:27:27.780 drones just

00:27:29.440 to drop seeds

00:27:30.360 in places that

00:27:31.480 need to be

00:27:32.040 reforested.

00:27:33.680 Now, there

00:27:34.060 probably were

00:27:34.560 other ways to

00:27:35.280 drop seeds,

00:27:36.220 like walking

00:27:36.820 around and

00:27:37.440 tossing them.

00:27:38.600 That always

00:27:39.320 works.

00:27:40.280 But you can

00:27:41.800 see that the

00:27:42.480 breadth of the

00:27:44.300 number of

00:27:44.700 companies working

00:27:45.360 in this space

00:27:45.860 is pretty big.

00:27:46.360 So here's

00:27:47.260 what I think.

00:27:48.580 I think we're

00:27:49.460 going to be

00:27:49.780 fine.

00:27:50.160 I think we're

00:27:52.020 going to be

00:27:52.320 fine, climate

00:27:53.660 change-wise.

00:27:54.820 I think that

00:27:55.540 the problems

00:27:57.700 we have are

00:27:58.560 that all

00:27:58.980 predictions are

00:27:59.640 straight-line

00:28:00.280 predictions.

00:28:02.120 When you make

00:28:03.020 a prediction

00:28:03.440 about what's

00:28:04.120 going to

00:28:04.280 happen in

00:28:04.660 80 years,

00:28:05.760 it's almost

00:28:07.080 always what

00:28:08.040 I'll call a

00:28:08.580 straight-line

00:28:09.220 prediction.

00:28:10.300 And if I

00:28:10.700 may use my

00:28:11.460 back-scratcher

00:28:12.720 to illustrate

00:28:13.300 it, it

00:28:14.780 means that

00:28:15.440 whatever you're

00:28:16.360 predicting,

00:28:16.960 let's say the

00:28:18.180 rate of growth

00:28:18.960 in something,

00:28:20.160 tends to

00:28:20.700 just go in

00:28:21.540 a predictable

00:28:22.200 line, you

00:28:23.180 know, like

00:28:23.500 it's one

00:28:23.880 straight line.

00:28:24.840 Now, you

00:28:25.560 might say that

00:28:26.220 the growth of

00:28:27.240 it is quick

00:28:27.960 or the growth

00:28:28.640 of it is slow,

00:28:29.820 but still, when

00:28:31.000 you predict it,

00:28:31.800 you never predict

00:28:33.100 big bumps and

00:28:34.000 shocks, because

00:28:35.260 those are, by

00:28:35.900 definition,

00:28:36.760 unpredictable.

00:28:37.880 So instead, you

00:28:38.500 put it in a

00:28:38.960 straight line.

00:28:39.640 But the real

00:28:40.200 world never

00:28:40.680 works like that.

00:28:42.060 So why do I

00:28:42.800 say that nobody

00:28:43.460 can do a long-range

00:28:44.740 prediction about

00:28:45.540 anything?

00:28:46.000 Because in

00:28:47.240 100% of

00:28:48.380 cases, there

00:28:49.820 are surprises

00:28:50.440 if you wait

00:28:51.220 long enough.

00:28:52.180 So the longer

00:28:52.700 the time period,

00:28:53.460 the less you

00:28:53.920 can predict,

00:28:54.500 obviously.

00:28:55.500 Now, this

00:28:56.560 carbon capture

00:28:57.280 stuff is already

00:28:58.680 taking a steep

00:29:00.160 turn.

00:29:01.180 So if you

00:29:01.520 predicted carbon

00:29:03.100 capture, you

00:29:03.720 would say, well,

00:29:04.380 it's not very

00:29:04.880 good now, but

00:29:05.800 if it slowly

00:29:07.080 improves, maybe

00:29:09.000 it'll make a

00:29:09.620 little difference

00:29:10.200 in 80 years,

00:29:11.540 which would be

00:29:12.180 ridiculous.

00:29:12.840 Now, I don't

00:29:13.200 know that they're

00:29:13.640 making that

00:29:14.120 specific assumption.

00:29:15.500 I'm making a

00:29:16.080 general case

00:29:16.700 about assumptions.

00:29:18.060 But if you

00:29:19.020 look at this

00:29:19.400 Wall Street

00:29:19.760 Journal article,

00:29:20.540 200 companies

00:29:21.340 sprung up in

00:29:22.540 this space.

00:29:23.520 It looks like

00:29:24.320 carbon capture

00:29:25.020 is going to

00:29:25.420 go from doesn't

00:29:26.660 work, doesn't

00:29:27.380 work, doesn't

00:29:28.020 work, a thousand

00:29:29.420 companies are

00:29:30.080 working on it.

00:29:30.880 Oh, shit,

00:29:31.680 somebody got it.

00:29:33.140 I think that's

00:29:33.720 what's going to

00:29:34.080 happen.

00:29:34.620 I think numbers

00:29:35.460 alone and all

00:29:37.680 this energy put

00:29:38.540 into the same

00:29:39.180 field pretty much

00:29:40.460 guarantees that one

00:29:41.460 of them is going

00:29:42.020 to become Apple

00:29:43.420 computer.

00:29:44.120 Pretty much.

00:29:46.680 Would anybody

00:29:47.140 disagree with

00:29:47.740 that?

00:29:48.280 That if you

00:29:48.700 have enough

00:29:49.220 energy going

00:29:50.060 into a question,

00:29:52.060 even fusion

00:29:52.760 looks like it's

00:29:53.400 going to be

00:29:53.700 solved.

00:29:55.020 Even fusion.

00:29:56.820 How about

00:29:57.540 flying cars?

00:29:59.740 Yeah, we're

00:30:00.660 one year away

00:30:01.320 from flying cars.

00:30:02.560 I mean, not

00:30:04.340 literally a car,

00:30:05.440 even though we

00:30:06.020 will have some

00:30:06.580 of those, but

00:30:07.480 a little

00:30:08.000 quadricopter that

00:30:10.560 you can just

00:30:11.060 have in your

00:30:11.600 backyard and fly

00:30:12.740 places.

00:30:13.860 That's like a

00:30:14.440 year away.

00:30:14.940 I think you

00:30:15.320 can actually

00:30:15.620 put in an

00:30:16.100 order for one

00:30:16.620 right now.

00:30:18.660 So pretty

00:30:19.700 much everything

00:30:20.380 happens if you

00:30:21.320 put enough

00:30:21.680 energy into it

00:30:22.380 and enough

00:30:22.720 companies try

00:30:23.380 enough things.

00:30:24.440 Let's talk

00:30:25.060 about the

00:30:25.420 ruble.

00:30:26.260 There was

00:30:26.600 something I

00:30:27.020 never understood

00:30:27.760 about currency,

00:30:32.080 which is if you

00:30:34.200 can make somebody

00:30:35.160 pay you in a

00:30:35.880 certain currency

00:30:36.580 and they need

00:30:37.700 whatever you're

00:30:38.200 selling, that

00:30:39.320 currency always has

00:30:40.240 value, doesn't it?

00:30:41.100 I didn't

00:30:42.260 understand how

00:30:42.940 a currency

00:30:43.580 could decline

00:30:44.960 in value so

00:30:45.860 long as there

00:30:46.420 was...

00:30:51.860 All right.

00:30:54.680 I was just

00:30:55.100 reading a paid

00:30:55.880 comment there.

00:30:57.320 So, anyway,

00:31:01.640 what were we

00:31:02.920 talking about?

00:31:03.880 Hunter's laptop?

00:31:04.720 Sorry, that got

00:31:07.540 me totally

00:31:07.960 distracted there.

00:31:09.160 Oh, talk about

00:31:09.740 currency and the

00:31:10.680 ruble.

00:31:11.360 So I guess what

00:31:12.140 Russia is doing is

00:31:13.200 they're saying if

00:31:14.220 you want to buy

00:31:14.800 our energy, which

00:31:16.460 apparently people

00:31:17.360 have to or else

00:31:18.340 they'll die, you

00:31:20.020 have to pay us in

00:31:20.820 rubles, which

00:31:22.360 makes the ruble not

00:31:23.400 collapse because you

00:31:24.860 have to turn your

00:31:25.700 money into a ruble to

00:31:26.760 buy some energy and

00:31:27.620 you have to buy

00:31:28.040 energy.

00:31:28.320 So, why did we

00:31:31.720 not see it coming

00:31:32.560 that the ruble would

00:31:34.020 just become the

00:31:35.780 currency that you

00:31:36.440 have to buy Russian

00:31:37.300 products with and

00:31:38.520 ruble is

00:31:40.520 mispronounced?

00:31:41.820 It's a rubble.

00:31:43.400 Yeah, what are the

00:31:44.040 odds that they

00:31:45.640 would turn Ukraine

00:31:46.920 into rubble and

00:31:48.440 Ukraine would turn

00:31:49.280 their currency into

00:31:50.220 their ruble into

00:31:51.940 rubble?

00:31:52.700 A lot of rubble.

00:31:53.560 Anyway, so it

00:31:56.260 looks like there's

00:31:56.720 peace talks and

00:31:58.380 it looks like where

00:32:01.420 things are headed

00:32:02.080 with Ukraine and

00:32:03.260 Russia is that

00:32:05.040 Russia has already

00:32:06.580 drastically reduced

00:32:07.720 its military around

00:32:08.820 Kiev.

00:32:10.480 So it looks like

00:32:11.300 Russia is not as

00:32:12.480 interested, or

00:32:13.520 unless they're bluffing,

00:32:14.820 they're not as

00:32:15.620 interested in taking

00:32:16.480 the capital because

00:32:17.860 it looks like they

00:32:18.500 want to consolidate

00:32:19.400 what they've already

00:32:20.180 taken and call it a

00:32:21.900 victory.

00:32:23.560 And if they do

00:32:26.860 that, would you

00:32:27.940 say that Putin won?

00:32:31.040 If Putin gets the

00:32:32.660 Donbass and that

00:32:33.800 other region and

00:32:35.200 they get a land

00:32:35.820 bridge and they

00:32:36.960 get no NATO in

00:32:39.080 Ukraine and they

00:32:40.840 get no offensive

00:32:41.600 weapons in Ukraine

00:32:42.580 and neutrality,

00:32:43.960 would you say that

00:32:45.400 Putin won?

00:32:46.540 Despite the

00:32:47.300 sanctions?

00:32:49.360 Yeah.

00:32:50.640 Yeah, I'd have to

00:32:51.440 say yes.

00:32:51.980 Because you know

00:32:53.580 what?

00:32:54.560 It's only going to

00:32:55.360 take about five

00:32:56.120 years of Putin

00:32:58.280 acting not as

00:32:59.840 belligerent.

00:33:00.960 I'm assuming he

00:33:01.700 could pull that

00:33:02.200 off five years

00:33:03.500 within a war.

00:33:04.400 It's only going to

00:33:05.000 take him five years

00:33:05.780 within a war and

00:33:06.620 the sanctions will

00:33:07.300 fall apart and he

00:33:09.600 will have won.

00:33:10.800 To me, it looks

00:33:11.600 like he won.

00:33:13.320 Would anybody

00:33:14.020 disagree?

00:33:15.080 Because I'm seeing

00:33:15.980 opinions.

00:33:17.120 I saw Ian

00:33:17.620 Bremmer say that

00:33:19.900 no matter what

00:33:20.440 happens, Putin

00:33:21.120 lost.

00:33:21.960 It doesn't look

00:33:22.800 like it to me.

00:33:24.380 To me, it looks

00:33:24.940 like he won.

00:33:26.920 Am I right?

00:33:28.540 It looks like

00:33:29.080 Ukraine lost a

00:33:30.340 bunch of stuff

00:33:31.000 and it looks like

00:33:33.260 he won.

00:33:34.360 And moreover,

00:33:36.180 it looks like

00:33:36.920 Putin will bring

00:33:37.680 peace to those

00:33:39.640 places he took

00:33:40.420 over.

00:33:41.440 Am I wrong

00:33:42.240 about that?

00:33:44.660 Could you say

00:33:45.580 that it's more

00:33:46.080 likely there will

00:33:47.020 be peace in the

00:33:48.040 Donbass if Putin

00:33:49.800 just controls the

00:33:50.660 whole thing?

00:33:52.060 I think so.

00:33:53.460 Because it was

00:33:54.460 dangerous there

00:33:55.100 before Putin,

00:33:55.860 right?

00:33:57.200 Did Scott say

00:33:58.180 Ukraine would

00:33:58.900 win?

00:34:00.120 Well,

00:34:02.720 it looks,

00:34:03.520 I guess I was

00:34:04.660 specifically thinking

00:34:05.640 about Kiev

00:34:07.560 falling or Ukraine

00:34:09.060 falling as a

00:34:09.720 country.

00:34:10.600 Would you say

00:34:11.320 that Zelensky

00:34:12.480 won?

00:34:13.660 Let's say things

00:34:14.520 go the way it

00:34:15.120 looks like they're

00:34:15.620 going to go.

00:34:16.540 Some kind of

00:34:17.420 Russia keeps part

00:34:18.320 of it and

00:34:19.460 Zelensky keeps

00:34:20.660 part.

00:34:21.680 Wouldn't you

00:34:22.080 say that

00:34:22.640 Ukraine,

00:34:24.900 I don't know

00:34:26.540 if you'd say

00:34:26.900 they won,

00:34:27.860 it looks like

00:34:28.500 they both got

00:34:29.220 something.

00:34:31.100 Because I think

00:34:32.000 Ukraine will be

00:34:32.920 safer.

00:34:34.860 Now,

00:34:35.560 somebody smart

00:34:36.600 said the

00:34:37.040 following,

00:34:37.920 it's going to

00:34:38.260 be tough for

00:34:38.860 Russia to get

00:34:40.160 out of the

00:34:40.540 sanctions,

00:34:41.360 but it might

00:34:41.940 be easy for

00:34:43.660 Ukraine to

00:34:44.460 rebuild.

00:34:45.780 Do you know

00:34:46.180 what is the

00:34:46.560 very best

00:34:47.020 thing you

00:34:47.380 could do

00:34:47.760 for a

00:34:48.220 European

00:34:48.560 country?

00:34:50.640 There's

00:34:51.160 probably nothing

00:34:51.760 better you

00:34:52.380 could do for

00:34:52.960 it which

00:34:54.360 starts with

00:34:54.980 something awful.

00:34:56.580 The awful

00:34:57.380 part is being

00:34:58.240 bombed into

00:34:59.080 rubble and

00:35:00.780 millions of

00:35:01.340 people leaving

00:35:01.880 and starvation

00:35:02.840 and every other

00:35:03.560 deprivation.

00:35:04.840 So it's

00:35:05.500 horrible,

00:35:06.600 but in theory

00:35:07.660 because Ukraine

00:35:08.440 is an educated

00:35:09.400 population,

00:35:10.200 you'll have a

00:35:10.540 lot of support,

00:35:11.240 probably get a

00:35:11.680 lot of Western

00:35:12.200 funding,

00:35:13.360 Ukraine will

00:35:13.940 probably rebuild

00:35:15.160 into the

00:35:16.760 coolest place

00:35:17.600 around.

00:35:19.520 Am I right?

00:35:20.500 Because if you

00:35:21.080 can rebuild and

00:35:21.820 you build

00:35:22.140 everything modern

00:35:23.140 and it's just

00:35:24.000 better,

00:35:25.300 I feel like,

00:35:26.800 somebody says

00:35:27.640 you're wrong,

00:35:28.760 I feel like in

00:35:30.200 the long run,

00:35:32.120 although nobody

00:35:34.140 would have chosen

00:35:34.840 the war,

00:35:37.540 both sides

00:35:38.360 win,

00:35:39.680 and Scott

00:35:40.240 predicted it,

00:35:40.960 somebody says.

00:35:41.560 I don't

00:35:44.680 know that I

00:35:45.100 predicted both

00:35:45.740 sides would

00:35:46.160 win,

00:35:46.760 but it

00:35:47.300 certainly looks

00:35:47.920 like Putin

00:35:48.660 will claim he

00:35:49.440 won and it

00:35:50.080 looks like

00:35:50.500 Ukraine did

00:35:51.120 not fall.

00:35:52.760 Now, how

00:35:53.780 many people

00:35:54.380 predicted that

00:35:55.680 Ukraine would

00:35:56.860 not fall?

00:36:04.520 Apparently,

00:36:05.280 Scott has yet

00:36:05.900 to inform

00:36:06.360 himself,

00:36:06.860 I'm reading a

00:36:07.360 paid comment,

00:36:08.540 about Operation

00:36:09.620 Gladio,

00:36:10.380 the singular

00:36:11.380 thing that

00:36:11.920 explains literally

00:36:12.720 all of the

00:36:13.340 United States

00:36:13.960 foreign policy.

00:36:15.900 Well,

00:36:16.700 I will get

00:36:19.940 back to you

00:36:20.340 on that.

00:36:22.640 I predicted

00:36:23.580 that both

00:36:24.020 would claim

00:36:24.440 victory.

00:36:25.260 Well, I

00:36:26.200 don't think

00:36:26.580 both would

00:36:27.000 claim victory

00:36:27.660 if Kiev had

00:36:28.800 fell,

00:36:29.980 had fallen,

00:36:30.780 right?

00:36:31.600 If the

00:36:32.420 capital had

00:36:33.160 gone under

00:36:34.880 Russian control,

00:36:36.200 people, I

00:36:37.380 feel as

00:36:37.980 though Ukraine

00:36:39.580 could not

00:36:40.080 claim any

00:36:40.560 victory.

00:36:41.080 And as it

00:36:41.640 is, I'm

00:36:41.980 not sure it's

00:36:42.380 a victory.

00:36:43.320 It's a not

00:36:44.640 losing as bad

00:36:45.380 as they could

00:36:45.820 have, I

00:36:46.080 guess.

00:36:51.940 Rebuild

00:36:52.340 without a

00:36:52.880 strong dollar,

00:36:53.640 yeah, that

00:36:54.140 might make a

00:36:55.700 difference.

00:36:57.580 I said,

00:36:58.280 you predicted

00:36:58.760 it was possible

00:36:59.460 Ukraine could

00:37:00.260 win outright.

00:37:00.940 I don't

00:37:02.940 know.

00:37:04.080 I mean, it

00:37:04.780 looks like

00:37:05.240 they won

00:37:06.020 outright,

00:37:07.580 because the

00:37:08.540 regions that

00:37:10.080 Russia will

00:37:10.820 control are

00:37:11.680 largely disputed

00:37:12.860 regions,

00:37:13.360 right?

00:37:14.320 A disputed

00:37:15.120 region isn't

00:37:15.900 exactly Ukraine's

00:37:17.240 to begin with.

00:37:18.060 It's a disputed

00:37:19.200 region.

00:37:20.000 So I'm not

00:37:20.520 sure that Ukraine

00:37:21.140 lost Ukraine.

00:37:23.900 I think that

00:37:25.060 the disputed

00:37:25.800 regions became

00:37:26.720 less disputed,

00:37:27.660 if that's what

00:37:28.180 happens.

00:37:29.440 So somebody

00:37:30.060 says, this

00:37:31.000 is weasel

00:37:31.560 thinking.

00:37:32.520 No, it's

00:37:33.120 weasel

00:37:33.420 talking.

00:37:36.340 So, yes, I

00:37:37.880 do believe I

00:37:38.440 could make a

00:37:38.960 weasel argument

00:37:39.720 for having been

00:37:40.920 the most accurate

00:37:42.000 predictor.

00:37:43.300 I believe I

00:37:44.020 could make that

00:37:44.600 weasel argument.

00:37:45.860 But you know,

00:37:46.440 every other

00:37:47.280 predictor is

00:37:48.160 going to say

00:37:48.460 they were

00:37:48.720 right, just

00:37:49.640 like every

00:37:50.000 other time.

00:37:51.140 Everybody who

00:37:51.820 made a

00:37:52.060 prediction is

00:37:52.860 going to say

00:37:53.220 they were

00:37:53.480 right.

00:37:54.360 That's what

00:37:54.720 happened with

00:37:55.160 the pandemic.

00:37:57.020 The people who

00:37:57.660 predicted that

00:37:58.400 there was no

00:37:58.900 pandemic at

00:37:59.560 all,

00:38:00.060 are saying

00:38:01.080 they were

00:38:01.380 right.

00:38:02.340 And the

00:38:02.600 people who

00:38:02.980 said that

00:38:03.300 we'll kill

00:38:03.660 a million

00:38:03.960 people are

00:38:05.440 saying they're

00:38:05.880 right.

00:38:06.680 So everybody

00:38:07.160 gets to be

00:38:07.680 right all the

00:38:08.160 time.

00:38:09.260 It used to

00:38:09.720 be you got

00:38:10.080 to be wrong.

00:38:11.940 Now you

00:38:12.520 don't.

00:38:14.080 Anything else

00:38:14.760 happening?

00:38:15.820 Biden wants

00:38:16.560 to tax the

00:38:17.220 rich in the

00:38:17.800 dumbest fucking

00:38:18.440 idea I've

00:38:19.340 ever seen,

00:38:20.180 which couldn't

00:38:21.000 possibly be the

00:38:21.980 product of a

00:38:22.860 stable mind.

00:38:24.380 He wants to

00:38:25.100 tax the rich

00:38:27.160 rich on

00:38:28.120 appreciation of

00:38:29.840 their stock

00:38:30.400 assets in

00:38:31.060 any one

00:38:31.620 year with

00:38:33.520 no word as

00:38:34.320 to whether

00:38:34.600 they could get

00:38:35.200 it right off

00:38:35.900 if it went

00:38:36.920 down the

00:38:37.340 next year.

00:38:38.540 There isn't

00:38:39.300 the slightest

00:38:39.840 chance that

00:38:40.480 this could get

00:38:41.080 passed.

00:38:41.680 It's almost

00:38:42.160 like it's a

00:38:42.740 joke proposal.

00:38:44.620 Like, hey, I

00:38:45.120 got an idea.

00:38:46.500 Every time you

00:38:47.360 put on

00:38:47.900 mismatching socks,

00:38:49.680 if your net

00:38:50.880 wealth is over

00:38:51.580 a million

00:38:51.940 dollars, you're

00:38:53.300 going to pay

00:38:53.580 a 7%

00:38:54.460 surtax.

00:38:55.740 And people

00:38:56.040 would say,

00:38:56.780 I don't know,

00:38:58.060 but that's the

00:38:58.540 dumbest idea I've

00:38:59.280 ever heard.

00:39:01.040 It almost

00:39:02.440 sounds random.

00:39:03.820 It's so bad.

00:39:05.020 It doesn't even

00:39:05.840 sound like a

00:39:06.380 real idea.

00:39:07.460 It sounds like a

00:39:08.220 movie idea.

00:39:09.220 It's so bad.

00:39:11.140 He will get

00:39:11.620 exactly, well,

00:39:13.760 I guess there

00:39:14.220 will always be

00:39:14.620 some Democrat

00:39:15.320 economists will

00:39:16.100 say it will

00:39:16.540 work, but I

00:39:17.760 don't think I've

00:39:18.300 heard one yet.

00:39:19.420 Here's my

00:39:20.060 challenge to you.

00:39:21.600 See if you

00:39:22.120 can find even

00:39:23.020 a Democrat

00:39:24.060 economist, a

00:39:25.120 professional

00:39:25.560 economist, a

00:39:26.240 Democrat, who

00:39:27.600 thinks it's a

00:39:28.200 good idea to

00:39:29.600 tax stock

00:39:30.840 appreciation before

00:39:32.140 you actually sell

00:39:32.960 it and realize

00:39:33.600 the gain.

00:39:36.020 Now, I don't

00:39:36.760 think Krugman

00:39:37.260 would.

00:39:38.320 I'll bet not.

00:39:39.400 Somebody says

00:39:40.040 that Krugman

00:39:40.720 would, because

00:39:41.440 you imagine

00:39:41.940 he's in the

00:39:43.660 pocket of the

00:39:45.400 left.

00:39:45.780 I'll bet you

00:39:46.340 can't get any,

00:39:48.280 any.

00:39:49.840 Reich is not

00:39:50.600 an economist,

00:39:51.240 I think.

00:39:51.940 I'll bet

00:39:53.320 Janet Yellen

00:39:54.420 did.

00:39:55.780 No.

00:39:56.960 No, I don't

00:39:57.380 believe that.

00:39:58.500 I do not

00:39:59.060 believe any

00:39:59.700 professional

00:40:00.540 economist, a

00:40:01.760 Democrat or

00:40:02.320 not, has

00:40:02.840 ever addressed

00:40:05.100 that.

00:40:05.540 Well, Bernie's

00:40:06.240 not an

00:40:06.520 economist.

00:40:08.200 All right.

00:40:08.860 So that's my

00:40:09.480 challenge.

00:40:10.100 See if you can

00:40:10.900 get a Democrat

00:40:11.760 economist to

00:40:13.420 agree with the

00:40:13.960 Democrat plan.

00:40:14.800 I don't think

00:40:15.240 so.

00:40:15.480 I don't think

00:40:16.900 so.

00:40:17.180 All right.

00:40:21.160 The Hunter

00:40:22.120 Biden

00:40:22.620 connection to

00:40:24.320 the Ukrainian

00:40:25.600 labs is

00:40:26.420 mostly fake

00:40:27.140 news.

00:40:28.060 Are you all

00:40:28.660 aware of that?

00:40:29.920 So I joked,

00:40:31.240 but I didn't

00:40:31.680 really talk about

00:40:32.320 it too much.

00:40:32.960 I joked that

00:40:33.720 it was the

00:40:34.660 simulation had

00:40:36.080 to give us

00:40:36.720 Hunter Biden

00:40:38.060 connected to

00:40:39.620 bio labs in

00:40:41.640 Ukraine, because

00:40:42.860 it was just the

00:40:43.380 funniest thing

00:40:43.900 that could

00:40:44.180 happen.

00:40:45.240 And sure

00:40:45.720 enough, it

00:40:46.060 happened.

00:40:51.320 But it

00:40:52.020 turns out that

00:40:52.560 that's closer

00:40:53.140 to fake news

00:40:53.820 than real

00:40:54.140 news.

00:40:58.100 Wow.

00:41:00.220 And so

00:41:02.320 here's why it's

00:41:02.900 fake news.

00:41:03.920 The connection

00:41:04.640 is real, but

00:41:06.540 it's so indirect

00:41:07.480 that it's

00:41:08.060 ridiculous.

00:41:10.040 So, no, I

00:41:12.540 read about the

00:41:13.360 emails as well.

00:41:14.100 So, apparently

00:41:16.480 these labs were

00:41:17.400 not weapons

00:41:17.980 labs, they

00:41:18.920 weren't

00:41:19.140 bioweapons

00:41:19.700 labs, they

00:41:20.340 were biological

00:41:21.100 research

00:41:21.680 facilities, but

00:41:23.040 of course you

00:41:23.520 could argue

00:41:23.980 that one could

00:41:24.620 be turned

00:41:25.020 into the

00:41:25.480 other.

00:41:26.340 But there's

00:41:26.880 no evidence

00:41:27.400 that they

00:41:27.800 were meant

00:41:28.240 to be

00:41:29.120 bioweapons.

00:41:30.700 And his

00:41:31.160 investment was

00:41:31.940 through a

00:41:32.280 fund, and

00:41:32.860 a fund had

00:41:33.380 some money

00:41:33.840 and something.

00:41:34.980 You probably

00:41:35.380 never knew,

00:41:36.460 blah, blah.

00:41:36.900 So his

00:41:37.460 connection to

00:41:38.100 them is there,

00:41:40.720 but it's

00:41:41.140 through money

00:41:41.700 that went

00:41:42.280 through other

00:41:42.660 hands, and

00:41:43.540 basically, it's

00:41:45.380 not really a

00:41:45.960 story.

00:41:46.860 It's fun.

00:41:48.080 It's fun, but

00:41:48.820 it's not really

00:41:49.360 a story.

00:41:50.840 How can you

00:41:51.500 be so obtuse,

00:41:53.020 Greg says.

00:41:54.240 Greg, do you

00:41:55.940 really believe,

00:41:57.540 do you really

00:41:58.960 believe, really,

00:42:00.200 that Hunter

00:42:02.240 would be

00:42:03.080 funding

00:42:03.580 bioweapons

00:42:04.460 labs in

00:42:05.120 Ukraine, and

00:42:06.040 that that's

00:42:06.440 like the

00:42:06.820 secret story?

00:42:08.560 Really?

00:42:08.900 Really?

00:42:08.980 Or do you

00:42:11.800 think it's a

00:42:12.220 little more

00:42:12.560 likely that

00:42:13.920 he had

00:42:14.160 money in

00:42:14.700 funds that

00:42:15.240 had money

00:42:15.620 in lots

00:42:16.020 of different

00:42:16.400 places?

00:42:18.020 Because that

00:42:18.660 would be

00:42:18.900 normal.

00:42:20.040 It's normal

00:42:20.660 to have

00:42:20.980 money in

00:42:21.700 funds that

00:42:22.260 have money

00:42:22.600 in lots

00:42:23.020 of places

00:42:23.400 you don't

00:42:23.780 know about.

00:42:25.120 It is not

00:42:25.680 normal that

00:42:27.280 he would be

00:42:27.920 directly investing

00:42:29.640 in bioweapon

00:42:31.560 labs in

00:42:32.100 another country.

00:42:33.220 That wouldn't

00:42:33.960 be likely.

00:42:35.820 All right,

00:42:36.060 so I'm going

00:42:37.060 to say that

00:42:37.480 the labs exist,

00:42:38.460 they're not

00:42:39.420 designed as

00:42:41.200 bioweapons

00:42:41.920 labs, and

00:42:43.320 that there is

00:42:43.880 money that

00:42:44.340 flowed, and

00:42:45.100 Hunter had

00:42:45.800 something to

00:42:46.140 do with it,

00:42:46.520 but I don't

00:42:46.820 think it's a

00:42:47.240 story story.

00:42:48.240 It doesn't

00:42:48.600 seem to have

00:42:48.980 any relevance,

00:42:52.120 let's say.

00:42:52.580 It doesn't

00:42:52.900 seem to be

00:42:53.360 relevant.

00:42:56.220 All right,

00:42:57.200 Biden's

00:42:59.100 dementia is

00:42:59.720 getting worse,

00:43:00.560 and I

00:43:00.980 wonder who

00:43:01.520 is behind

00:43:02.000 this tweet.

00:43:03.500 So Biden

00:43:03.940 tweeted that

00:43:04.620 Russia's

00:43:05.040 economy was

00:43:05.680 ranked the

00:43:06.160 11th biggest

00:43:06.880 economy in

00:43:07.480 the world

00:43:07.740 before this

00:43:08.440 invasion,

00:43:09.480 but that

00:43:11.560 now soon

00:43:13.820 will not

00:43:14.420 even rank

00:43:14.920 in the

00:43:15.180 top 20

00:43:15.700 in the

00:43:16.000 world.

00:43:18.280 What do

00:43:18.880 you think

00:43:19.060 about that?

00:43:19.780 Won't rank

00:43:20.400 in the

00:43:20.720 top 20.

00:43:22.060 So is

00:43:23.640 that the

00:43:23.920 most fucked

00:43:24.920 up thing

00:43:25.400 you've ever

00:43:25.820 seen your

00:43:26.260 president do?

00:43:27.920 That's just

00:43:28.600 fucked up.

00:43:29.540 Here's why.

00:43:32.020 Aren't we

00:43:32.880 mad at

00:43:33.700 Putin?

00:43:34.020 We're not

00:43:35.540 really mad

00:43:36.360 at the

00:43:36.680 Russian

00:43:36.940 citizens,

00:43:38.000 are we?

00:43:39.480 When did

00:43:40.000 that happen?

00:43:41.460 Was that

00:43:41.840 some kind

00:43:42.320 of shift?

00:43:43.620 Because he's

00:43:44.480 actually doing

00:43:45.300 a victory

00:43:45.780 dance on

00:43:46.600 the suffering

00:43:47.260 of the

00:43:48.000 Russian

00:43:48.700 citizens.

00:43:50.100 Not cool.

00:43:51.680 That's not

00:43:52.180 cool.

00:43:53.160 Now, I

00:43:53.600 understand what

00:43:54.400 he's getting

00:43:54.840 at, right?

00:43:55.540 He's showing

00:43:56.180 that the

00:43:56.780 sanctions work

00:43:57.620 and the

00:43:58.520 Russian public

00:43:59.220 should rise

00:43:59.720 up and get

00:44:00.220 rid of Putin,

00:44:00.760 but they're

00:44:01.060 not going to.

00:44:01.600 So it

00:44:03.020 just seems

00:44:03.360 messed up

00:44:03.920 to me.

00:44:04.840 Now, I'm

00:44:05.400 in favor of

00:44:05.900 the sanctions.

00:44:07.380 I'm in favor

00:44:07.920 of the sanctions.

00:44:09.240 But doing a

00:44:10.760 little victory

00:44:11.340 dance like

00:44:11.980 this on top

00:44:12.660 of the

00:44:13.000 citizens of

00:44:14.140 Russia just

00:44:15.440 feels low

00:44:16.200 class.

00:44:17.500 It doesn't

00:44:17.980 feel strategic.

00:44:19.820 It doesn't

00:44:20.280 feel good for

00:44:20.880 the United

00:44:21.220 States.

00:44:22.500 It just

00:44:22.880 feels a

00:44:23.440 little dementia

00:44:24.220 like.

00:44:25.340 So who

00:44:25.680 approved

00:44:26.060 this?

00:44:27.460 I mean,

00:44:27.880 let's face

00:44:29.060 it, we know

00:44:29.540 Biden doesn't

00:44:30.180 do his own

00:44:30.620 tweeting, right?

00:44:31.280 He's not

00:44:31.760 there.

00:44:32.120 I'll tweet

00:44:32.760 this.

00:44:34.140 So somebody

00:44:35.000 approved it.

00:44:36.320 I mean,

00:44:36.800 some advisor.

00:44:38.300 That's scary.

00:44:42.860 So that's

00:44:43.740 happening.

00:44:45.240 And here's

00:44:46.140 the worst

00:44:46.480 argument about

00:44:47.540 Ukraine.

00:44:48.220 It's a

00:44:48.560 violation of

00:44:49.220 international

00:44:49.720 law.

00:44:51.240 I've heard

00:44:51.740 it said,

00:44:52.460 who said

00:44:53.040 it?

00:44:53.240 Maybe on

00:44:54.940 the five I

00:44:55.460 heard it,

00:44:56.080 that we

00:44:56.820 should simplify

00:44:57.780 the case and

00:44:58.540 just say it's

00:44:59.100 a violation of

00:45:00.920 international law

00:45:01.840 and just

00:45:02.620 stick it to

00:45:03.540 that.

00:45:03.760 Was that

00:45:04.060 Greg or

00:45:06.000 was it

00:45:06.260 Jesse?

00:45:07.280 Somebody said

00:45:07.960 it.

00:45:08.940 And I

00:45:09.940 would disagree

00:45:10.520 with that

00:45:10.920 because violation

00:45:11.780 of international

00:45:12.500 law is

00:45:12.980 meaningless to

00:45:13.740 everybody.

00:45:16.800 Everybody

00:45:17.240 violates

00:45:17.820 international law

00:45:18.880 when they can

00:45:19.300 get away with

00:45:19.840 it.

00:45:20.260 It's really

00:45:20.780 just about

00:45:21.240 what you can

00:45:21.680 get away

00:45:22.040 with.

00:45:22.820 So saying

00:45:23.400 it's a

00:45:23.700 violation of

00:45:24.280 international

00:45:24.720 law doesn't

00:45:25.340 really buy you

00:45:26.060 much for

00:45:26.680 persuasion.

00:45:29.100 For

00:45:29.700 persuasion,

00:45:30.400 I'd say we

00:45:31.620 can't let

00:45:32.300 anybody be

00:45:32.900 rewarded for

00:45:33.720 conquering their

00:45:34.440 neighbor.

00:45:36.260 Is that

00:45:36.980 better?

00:45:37.940 We can't

00:45:38.720 let Putin

00:45:39.360 be rewarded

00:45:40.360 for conquering

00:45:41.560 his neighbor.

00:45:42.720 Now remember,

00:45:44.200 it was sort

00:45:44.720 of an

00:45:45.100 optional war.

00:45:46.780 I mean,

00:45:47.020 maybe Russia

00:45:47.580 would argue,

00:45:48.200 but it was

00:45:49.440 kind of an

00:45:49.820 optional war.

00:45:50.900 If you run

00:45:53.000 an optional war

00:45:53.940 to conquer

00:45:54.360 your neighbor,

00:45:54.940 you just

00:45:55.240 can't be

00:45:55.600 rewarded for

00:45:56.240 that.

00:45:56.920 You just

00:45:57.280 have to

00:45:57.760 make sure

00:45:58.280 that's not

00:45:58.720 rewarded.

00:45:59.440 So I would

00:45:59.840 say that

00:46:00.140 that's a

00:46:00.480 better way

00:46:00.900 to simplify

00:46:02.240 because nobody

00:46:03.820 respects

00:46:04.300 international

00:46:04.860 law if

00:46:07.040 they can

00:46:07.400 get away

00:46:07.760 with breaking

00:46:08.200 it for

00:46:08.660 their own

00:46:08.960 self-interest.

00:46:11.380 What do

00:46:11.940 you think

00:46:12.480 about the

00:46:12.820 question now

00:46:13.360 of would

00:46:14.000 Putin have

00:46:15.420 invaded under

00:46:16.220 Trump?

00:46:18.100 What do

00:46:18.640 you think?

00:46:19.960 Do you

00:46:20.540 think if

00:46:20.880 Trump had

00:46:21.380 been president,

00:46:22.400 Putin would

00:46:22.820 have invaded?

00:46:24.240 Now I

00:46:24.840 know this

00:46:25.500 audience is

00:46:26.060 going to

00:46:26.240 say no

00:46:26.760 because he

00:46:27.400 was

00:46:27.620 unpredictable

00:46:28.220 and maybe

00:46:30.020 not.

00:46:31.320 But let me

00:46:32.720 give you the

00:46:33.100 counter-argument

00:46:33.840 because I've

00:46:35.060 made the

00:46:35.800 argument myself

00:46:36.620 that maybe

00:46:37.360 Putin wouldn't.

00:46:38.320 Here's the

00:46:38.780 counter-argument.

00:46:40.600 Nothing was

00:46:41.220 going to stop

00:46:41.740 him.

00:46:42.820 He was going

00:46:43.340 to do it

00:46:43.680 no matter

00:46:44.020 what.

00:46:45.140 Because it

00:46:45.540 does look

00:46:45.980 like Putin's

00:46:46.720 kind of

00:46:47.020 determined,

00:46:47.640 if you know

00:46:47.920 what I mean.

00:46:49.280 It may have

00:46:49.900 looked different,

00:46:50.440 but I

00:46:52.400 think he

00:46:52.720 would have

00:46:52.940 done it

00:46:53.220 anyway.

00:46:55.000 And the

00:46:55.400 idea is that

00:46:56.360 he doesn't

00:46:56.840 seem to be

00:46:57.360 scared of

00:46:57.840 risk.

00:47:00.180 Right?

00:47:01.220 Putin seems

00:47:02.000 very risk-takey.

00:47:05.180 I feel like

00:47:05.860 he just

00:47:07.100 would have

00:47:07.380 said,

00:47:08.180 you know,

00:47:08.380 the Don

00:47:08.720 Bass is

00:47:09.360 whatever and

00:47:10.100 we've got to

00:47:12.000 do what

00:47:12.260 we've got to

00:47:12.580 do.

00:47:13.380 So he

00:47:14.960 did wait,

00:47:15.680 we heard,

00:47:17.420 but I

00:47:17.800 don't think

00:47:18.160 that's

00:47:18.440 confirmed.

00:47:20.080 And if

00:47:20.380 he had

00:47:20.720 waited,

00:47:21.340 let's say

00:47:22.800 Trump had

00:47:24.500 won a

00:47:24.820 second term.

00:47:26.060 Do you

00:47:26.300 think he

00:47:26.580 would have

00:47:26.820 waited a

00:47:27.240 whole other

00:47:27.640 four years?

00:47:30.120 It made

00:47:30.860 sense for

00:47:31.380 him to

00:47:31.740 wait to

00:47:32.840 see if

00:47:33.400 Biden got

00:47:34.020 elected.

00:47:35.040 And I

00:47:35.340 think that's

00:47:35.760 why you're

00:47:36.120 conflating.

00:47:37.300 It would

00:47:37.940 definitely

00:47:38.280 make sense

00:47:38.980 to see if

00:47:39.800 Biden got

00:47:41.920 elected,

00:47:42.600 but maybe

00:47:43.180 he just

00:47:43.540 would have

00:47:43.760 done it

00:47:44.080 differently

00:47:44.380 if Trump

00:47:45.300 got elected.

00:47:45.680 I don't

00:47:46.680 think we

00:47:47.320 can conclude

00:47:47.960 we know

00:47:48.380 what would

00:47:48.680 have

00:47:48.780 happened.

00:47:49.940 All right.

00:47:50.860 I saw

00:47:51.640 the most

00:47:52.020 interesting

00:47:52.640 tweet today.

00:47:54.900 So it was

00:47:55.280 a Cernovich

00:47:55.860 tweet,

00:47:56.460 but it was

00:47:56.720 about a

00:47:57.400 piece,

00:47:57.980 a medium

00:47:58.520 piece,

00:48:00.100 where

00:48:01.700 somebody,

00:48:02.500 Jonathan

00:48:02.880 Roseland

00:48:03.680 was writing

00:48:04.140 about,

00:48:05.160 he was

00:48:05.480 reading

00:48:05.760 Graham

00:48:06.220 Hancock's

00:48:06.800 Magician of

00:48:07.400 the Gods

00:48:07.700 book,

00:48:08.680 and he

00:48:08.900 was talking

00:48:09.200 about all

00:48:10.060 these great

00:48:11.360 pyramids and

00:48:12.460 ancient

00:48:13.700 constructions

00:48:14.700 pyramids that

00:48:16.000 we barely

00:48:17.560 know how

00:48:17.960 to do

00:48:18.220 today,

00:48:18.940 if at

00:48:19.280 all.

00:48:20.700 Now,

00:48:21.060 have you

00:48:21.320 ever wondered

00:48:23.300 why it is

00:48:24.000 that they

00:48:24.660 knew how

00:48:25.000 to make

00:48:25.300 pyramids at

00:48:25.940 one point

00:48:26.360 and then

00:48:26.680 they stopped

00:48:27.220 knowing how

00:48:27.760 to make

00:48:28.020 pyramids?

00:48:29.840 Isn't that

00:48:30.440 weird?

00:48:31.360 Like,

00:48:31.680 why did

00:48:32.000 the Egyptians

00:48:33.940 just sort of

00:48:34.980 stop doing

00:48:35.500 it?

00:48:36.180 And when

00:48:36.620 they stopped

00:48:37.020 doing it,

00:48:37.460 why didn't

00:48:37.740 they at

00:48:38.020 least carve

00:48:40.040 into a wall

00:48:40.740 or something

00:48:41.160 the instructions

00:48:41.880 for making

00:48:42.400 another one?

00:48:42.980 so here's

00:48:49.460 a further

00:48:50.280 mystery to

00:48:50.940 that,

00:48:51.520 and that

00:48:51.800 comes from

00:48:52.280 that Graham

00:48:52.880 Hancock

00:48:53.300 book,

00:48:53.720 I guess,

00:48:54.340 that for

00:48:55.900 everything else

00:48:56.620 in history,

00:48:57.240 you can see

00:48:57.700 the early

00:48:58.180 prototypes.

00:48:59.920 If,

00:49:00.400 let's see,

00:49:01.560 an alien

00:49:01.960 civilization

00:49:02.620 came here

00:49:04.040 and tried

00:49:04.640 to figure

00:49:04.980 out what

00:49:05.780 humans were

00:49:06.520 like before

00:49:07.100 we became

00:49:08.220 extinct,

00:49:09.060 they would

00:49:09.620 find early

00:49:10.380 automobiles,

00:49:11.620 they'd find

00:49:12.240 bicycles,

00:49:13.600 and then

00:49:14.060 they'd see

00:49:14.420 the evolution

00:49:15.040 from the

00:49:15.500 early automobiles

00:49:17.280 to the

00:49:17.720 modern ones,

00:49:18.520 then to

00:49:18.780 airplanes and

00:49:19.580 rockets,

00:49:20.200 and you

00:49:20.580 could kind

00:49:20.960 of see

00:49:21.360 the whole

00:49:22.480 progression

00:49:23.040 of technology,

00:49:24.400 right?

00:49:25.400 If you

00:49:25.760 could find

00:49:26.200 enough

00:49:26.580 remaining

00:49:28.060 stuff.

00:49:29.280 But why

00:49:29.660 is it

00:49:30.040 that when

00:49:30.640 you look

00:49:31.020 at,

00:49:31.260 and this

00:49:31.520 is what

00:49:32.360 I guess

00:49:32.760 Graham

00:49:33.100 Hancock

00:49:33.460 asks,

00:49:34.440 why is

00:49:34.880 it that

00:49:35.120 we look

00:49:35.460 at these

00:49:35.760 great

00:49:36.120 structures

00:49:37.180 and pyramid

00:49:38.380 like structures

00:49:39.360 all over

00:49:39.740 the world,

00:49:40.200 and remember

00:49:40.520 it wasn't

00:49:40.880 just in

00:49:41.260 Egypt.

00:49:42.280 All over

00:49:42.780 the world

00:49:43.320 there were

00:49:44.600 these pockets

00:49:45.300 where they

00:49:45.780 built great

00:49:46.340 things,

00:49:47.120 and then

00:49:47.460 here's the

00:49:48.020 key part,

00:49:49.020 they forgot

00:49:49.720 how to do

00:49:50.280 it,

00:49:51.520 and here's

00:49:53.060 the new

00:49:53.380 part,

00:49:54.400 there were

00:49:55.000 no prototypes,

00:49:55.800 nobody

00:49:57.620 found the

00:49:58.160 bad pyramid.

00:50:01.020 Where was

00:50:01.420 the bad

00:50:01.820 one?

00:50:02.700 Where was

00:50:03.080 the early

00:50:03.440 one?

00:50:04.000 Where was

00:50:04.360 the practice

00:50:04.880 pyramid?

00:50:06.240 None of

00:50:06.780 these things

00:50:07.160 had any

00:50:07.440 practice,

00:50:08.080 apparently.

00:50:08.760 Now,

00:50:09.060 I think

00:50:09.360 that's

00:50:09.560 probably

00:50:09.780 not true.

00:50:10.680 Probably

00:50:11.000 there was

00:50:11.380 practice,

00:50:11.940 and we

00:50:12.160 just didn't

00:50:12.660 find them,

00:50:13.240 or maybe

00:50:14.100 they took

00:50:14.840 the stones

00:50:15.380 from the

00:50:15.780 practice

00:50:16.120 one and

00:50:16.560 put it

00:50:16.860 in the

00:50:17.080 good one.

00:50:18.160 It's like,

00:50:18.480 we'll just

00:50:19.180 tear down

00:50:19.540 this pyramid

00:50:20.000 and make

00:50:20.360 a better

00:50:20.600 one using

00:50:21.020 those stones.

00:50:21.560 I don't

00:50:21.740 know,

00:50:22.040 maybe

00:50:22.240 something like

00:50:22.640 that.

00:50:23.540 So I'm

00:50:24.240 not so

00:50:24.580 sure that

00:50:25.020 we don't

00:50:25.340 know where

00:50:25.620 the

00:50:25.740 prototypes

00:50:26.100 are,

00:50:26.480 but I

00:50:26.660 love the

00:50:26.960 question.

00:50:28.100 And the

00:50:28.420 hypothesis

00:50:29.040 is this,

00:50:30.500 that there

00:50:30.880 was a

00:50:31.200 time that

00:50:31.860 something like

00:50:32.600 Atlantis

00:50:33.180 might have

00:50:33.580 existed,

00:50:34.740 and that

00:50:35.280 there must

00:50:35.660 have been

00:50:35.920 some

00:50:36.260 advanced

00:50:36.880 civilization

00:50:37.780 that was

00:50:38.860 helping all

00:50:39.360 these other

00:50:39.800 civilizations

00:50:40.460 build massive

00:50:42.100 structures,

00:50:43.660 and the

00:50:44.160 speculation is

00:50:44.940 it would

00:50:45.460 sort of

00:50:47.220 inspire the

00:50:48.020 locals to

00:50:49.840 know what

00:50:50.840 they could

00:50:51.140 do and

00:50:51.840 build more

00:50:52.640 technology.

00:50:53.900 So there

00:50:54.260 might have

00:50:54.560 been a way

00:50:54.960 to seed

00:50:56.080 the primitives

00:50:57.480 with technology.

00:51:00.840 What do

00:51:01.340 you think?

00:51:02.320 Was it a

00:51:02.800 way to

00:51:03.280 seed the

00:51:04.820 primitives

00:51:05.300 with technology

00:51:06.440 by saying,

00:51:06.960 look, we're

00:51:07.520 going to help

00:51:07.780 you build

00:51:08.080 this pyramid.

00:51:09.520 Once you

00:51:09.940 see how this

00:51:10.500 is done,

00:51:11.600 it's like

00:51:12.040 everything you

00:51:12.580 need.

00:51:13.560 You'll see

00:51:14.260 that things

00:51:14.780 can be done,

00:51:15.540 and then you'll

00:51:15.940 try to do

00:51:16.380 them yourself,

00:51:17.120 and that will

00:51:17.420 raise you up

00:51:19.080 the evolutionary

00:51:19.680 ladder faster,

00:51:22.400 because you'll

00:51:23.560 know that

00:51:24.060 technology is

00:51:25.360 something that

00:51:25.780 can be

00:51:26.040 developed and

00:51:26.800 coordinated and

00:51:28.040 stuff.

00:51:28.520 I don't know.

00:51:29.580 It's a little

00:51:30.320 bit of a

00:51:30.720 stretch, but I

00:51:32.080 kind of love

00:51:32.640 it.

00:51:33.980 I'll tell you

00:51:34.720 that when I

00:51:35.260 was in

00:51:35.860 Greece, and

00:51:38.920 there's a

00:51:39.840 place off

00:51:42.980 of Santorini,

00:51:44.380 so on

00:51:45.540 Santorini,

00:51:47.040 there's an

00:51:48.360 advanced

00:51:48.880 civilization,

00:51:50.000 which they've

00:51:50.420 uncovered, and

00:51:51.600 you can go

00:51:52.040 visit it, in

00:51:53.360 which they

00:51:53.700 actually had

00:51:54.220 indoor plumbing

00:51:55.860 however many

00:51:58.220 thousands of

00:51:58.760 years ago.

00:51:59.660 Now, when I

00:52:00.180 say indoor

00:52:00.620 plumbing, I

00:52:01.080 just mean that

00:52:01.640 there was a

00:52:02.380 channel from

00:52:03.720 the upstairs

00:52:04.660 throne all

00:52:05.960 the way down

00:52:06.460 to the sewer

00:52:06.920 system.

00:52:08.260 And so

00:52:08.660 their streets

00:52:10.200 and their

00:52:10.840 water capture

00:52:12.300 and even

00:52:13.320 maybe their

00:52:13.780 war technology,

00:52:14.780 even their

00:52:15.100 sailing, seems

00:52:16.320 to have been

00:52:16.600 quite advanced.

00:52:17.800 Now, something

00:52:18.300 wiped it out.

00:52:19.960 So it might

00:52:20.420 have been

00:52:20.700 Minoan

00:52:21.240 civilization or

00:52:22.120 something, but

00:52:22.880 apparently they

00:52:23.440 had seafaring

00:52:24.140 vessels that

00:52:24.880 probably were

00:52:25.320 doing trade

00:52:25.880 with Africa,

00:52:27.040 and there

00:52:28.160 were advanced

00:52:29.040 civilizations.

00:52:30.180 They got

00:52:30.580 wiped out.

00:52:31.800 Now, we

00:52:32.680 don't know if

00:52:33.600 that was

00:52:34.140 Atlantis, but

00:52:35.180 some people

00:52:35.700 say it is,

00:52:36.360 some people

00:52:36.800 say it

00:52:37.100 isn't.

00:52:38.260 Maybe there

00:52:39.100 were a bunch

00:52:39.600 of advanced

00:52:40.880 civilizations.

00:52:42.820 Maybe there

00:52:43.260 were a bunch.

00:52:43.780 Here's the

00:52:44.640 theory that I

00:52:45.280 like the

00:52:45.660 best.

00:52:47.680 An advanced

00:52:49.560 civilization of

00:52:50.460 aliens came

00:52:52.400 to Earth and

00:52:53.680 goosed our

00:52:54.680 evolution for

00:52:56.360 whatever reason,

00:52:57.520 maybe to

00:52:58.060 prepare it for

00:52:58.780 their own

00:52:59.300 inhabitation later,

00:53:01.520 in a million

00:53:01.980 years when their

00:53:02.640 planet dies.

00:53:04.540 I mean, think

00:53:04.920 of it this way.

00:53:06.020 What would we

00:53:06.800 do if we knew

00:53:08.620 Earth was going

00:53:09.300 to die guaranteed

00:53:10.740 need in a

00:53:12.420 million years?

00:53:14.080 What would we

00:53:14.860 do?

00:53:15.740 We'd make a

00:53:16.420 new planet.

00:53:17.500 But instead of

00:53:18.060 making a new

00:53:18.580 one, wouldn't it

00:53:19.100 be smarter to

00:53:19.940 terraform an

00:53:20.780 existing one?

00:53:22.100 Yeah.

00:53:22.740 So you'd go

00:53:23.200 there and you'd

00:53:23.760 put some DNA

00:53:24.440 there and you'd

00:53:25.340 build it into a

00:53:27.280 world of food so

00:53:29.460 that when you

00:53:29.940 decided to leave

00:53:30.920 your dying planet

00:53:32.160 and go to this

00:53:33.120 new planet, it'd

00:53:34.300 be full of food.

00:53:35.940 Plants and

00:53:36.580 animals and,

00:53:37.600 uh-oh, people.

00:53:38.680 But maybe the

00:53:40.160 people were

00:53:41.820 goosed in their

00:53:42.920 evolution by,

00:53:46.040 because you

00:53:46.900 needed the

00:53:47.280 people to

00:53:47.960 civilize the

00:53:48.840 planet so when

00:53:49.680 the aliens come,

00:53:51.200 many of the

00:53:51.760 problems have been

00:53:52.380 solved.

00:53:53.920 And then they

00:53:54.440 just eat the

00:53:55.020 people and take

00:53:55.920 over the

00:53:56.220 technology.

00:53:58.320 Something like

00:53:59.140 that.

00:54:02.740 Well, that's

00:54:03.520 one possibility.

00:54:05.140 The other

00:54:05.460 possibility is

00:54:06.220 nothing like

00:54:07.340 that.

00:54:07.680 But I do

00:54:09.100 wonder, where

00:54:10.620 are the

00:54:11.180 prototype pyramids?

00:54:18.980 Aliens with

00:54:19.640 that power don't

00:54:20.420 need to seed

00:54:21.080 planets?

00:54:22.540 Oh, I don't

00:54:23.180 know.

00:54:23.900 I don't know.

00:54:26.100 They don't need

00:54:26.980 to.

00:54:28.260 But let me put it

00:54:29.340 this way.

00:54:29.800 How many of you

00:54:30.620 are, like, growing

00:54:31.520 vegetables in your

00:54:32.580 backyard?

00:54:33.920 You don't need

00:54:34.560 to.

00:54:35.480 You don't need

00:54:36.060 to.

00:54:36.260 So an advanced

00:54:37.540 alien civilization

00:54:38.440 wouldn't necessarily

00:54:39.520 do things because

00:54:40.320 it needed to.

00:54:41.660 It would just do

00:54:42.400 things it could

00:54:43.060 because it wants

00:54:44.100 to.

00:54:46.780 You just

00:54:47.480 described my

00:54:48.140 book.

00:54:49.180 Okay.

00:54:57.020 Maybe they

00:54:57.820 weren't angels.

00:55:01.100 Maybe they

00:55:02.040 made patterns

00:55:02.840 with cardboard.

00:55:03.460 Okay, that

00:55:04.180 could be it.

00:55:06.640 Look in West

00:55:07.480 Egypt for the

00:55:08.640 prototypes.

00:55:09.940 Don't become

00:55:10.500 Art Bell.

00:55:11.920 Well, the

00:55:12.520 difference

00:55:12.880 between Art Bell

00:55:17.260 and me is I'm

00:55:18.160 not trying to

00:55:19.100 tell you it's

00:55:19.560 true.

00:55:19.800 Well, I

00:55:21.460 don't know if he

00:55:22.120 does that either.

00:55:23.240 Maybe nobody

00:55:23.720 does that.

00:55:24.200 All right.

00:55:32.660 That's all for

00:55:33.140 now.

00:55:34.360 I'm going to

00:55:35.140 say goodbye to

00:55:37.700 you on YouTube

00:55:38.780 and I'll talk to

00:55:39.660 you tomorrow.

00:55:40.640 I'm going to

00:55:41.640 see you tomorrow.

00:55:41.960 I'm going to

00:55:43.100 see you tomorrow.

00:55:43.960 I'm going to

00:55:45.060 see you tomorrow.
