Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 1845 Scott Adams： Today I Will Solve Many Of Your Personal Problems While Talking About News

00:00:00.000 excuse me while i check for a security problem see how bad that is

00:00:10.080 not bad just my dog good morning everybody and welcome to the best thing that will happen to

00:00:20.840 you today and probably the best thing that's ever happened to you in your whole life it's called

00:00:28.000 coffee with scott adams kind of a peak experience and if you'd like to take it up to the next level

00:00:34.220 and i know you do all you need is a cupper mug or a glass of tanker chalice or stein a canteen jug or

00:00:40.660 a flask a vessel of any kind any kind fill in your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for

00:00:51.140 the unparalleled pleasure the dopamine hit of the day the thing that makes everything better

00:00:56.940 it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go

00:01:02.660 everything's good now it's all good if you hang out to the uh latter part of my live stream today

00:01:17.500 after we talk about the news i'm going to uh give you a little hypnosis um treat anybody wants to stay

00:01:27.520 around for that in which i will teach you how to release on the past release on all your problems

00:01:33.760 in the past so wait for that that's coming um i saw there was a scientific study where scientists

00:01:43.800 analyzed people who coincidentally look alike have you ever seen anybody who looks like you

00:01:50.640 you're walking down the street and you say wait a minute that person looks just like me

00:01:56.280 i have a bunch of those doppelgangers well now it turns out that people who look like each other

00:02:04.420 even if they've never met no matter where they are they end up acting the same as well

00:02:09.360 so that they have sort of similar preferences now we already know this with twins so it's actually not

00:02:16.960 that big of a surprise to me whatever it is that makes you look physically exactly like somebody

00:02:22.500 is is probably affecting your mind as well as your body right there's some kind of genetic

00:02:28.820 commonality there so what does this tell you does it tell you we might be a simulation that there is code

00:02:39.660 reuse and that there just aren't that many people in the world i have hypothesized there are only a hundred

00:02:46.160 people i think there are only a hundred people and everybody's a version you know it might be 200

00:02:54.300 but it's not a lot it's not a million there are definitely not a million people more like one or two

00:03:00.680 hundred that's it and everybody's like a version of that you know based on what your i guess your

00:03:06.560 environment did to you uh so not only might we be a simulation but what would it tell you if

00:03:16.060 there are some characters that are the same characters but they're playing in different

00:03:19.860 scenes well that would be consistent with my hypothesis that if we're a simulated reality

00:03:27.620 the reason we're being simulated is to try to solve problems for whoever built the simulation

00:03:33.520 so in other words we're running through a b testing of okay if i do this how's that work out if i do

00:03:39.860 this how's it work out but then you would also have to test it in different environments so it

00:03:46.200 wouldn't be a good test to test just me and my specific life trying a different thing and seeing if

00:03:52.200 it works because you wouldn't know if there was something else about the situation that made the

00:03:55.760 difference so you would have to test me in a variety of different situations trying a variety of different

00:04:03.220 solutions until there was a commonality between the thing you tried and it didn't matter where you

00:04:09.600 were doing it and then you'd have a solution so maybe all right i had been ignoring the uh the senate race

00:04:23.540 in pennsylvania apparently i missed a lot of fun because i don't really pay attention to uh state races

00:04:30.580 but this dr oz versus fetterman thing has gone to such a ridiculous place that i can no longer

00:04:38.280 i can no longer ignore it because

00:04:44.400 it's not funny except that it is

00:04:54.800 so have i explained to you before that there's nothing wrong with laughing as something that's

00:05:03.020 horrible if you also understand it's horrible right if you're laughing at tragedy and you don't care

00:05:09.980 like you have no empathy well maybe you're a bad person but if you know it's bad and there are

00:05:15.740 genuinely you know there are people genuinely suffering as long as you acknowledge that if there's

00:05:21.500 something about it that's funny well that's not your fault that's not your fault at all and this

00:05:28.660 this john fetterman thing the thing i can't get past is that you know again i i do have empathy for him

00:05:41.380 and his family he had a stroke it seems like it was pretty bad and the stroke has debilitated him to

00:05:48.100 the point where he tried to give a five minute speech and he really didn't work he just couldn't

00:05:54.960 come up with the words in time and some of the words were seemed to be the wrong choice of word

00:06:00.300 and it just didn't work i mean it was pretty brave you know if we're going to give him you know any

00:06:07.840 props at all that was pretty brave pretty brave but apparently somebody on the dr oz campaign

00:06:15.020 i guess dr oz got some pushback because he was complaining about his uh crudites costing too

00:06:26.780 much or something which is what some people call a veggie tray that's what the democrat said

00:06:31.580 anyway so he seemed like sort of an elitist complaining about his crudites being too expensive

00:06:36.900 and uh so somebody on the dr oz campaign actually said this if john fetterman had ever eaten a

00:06:46.120 vegetable in his life then maybe he wouldn't have had a major stroke he wouldn't be in the position

00:06:51.660 of having to lie about it constantly rachel tripp oz's senior communication advisor said

00:06:58.220 she actually she actually she actually said she's like she's like the head of his communications

00:07:10.300 she's a senior communications person what what did the junior communications person say

00:07:19.240 if this is what the senior communications expert said i'd like to hear what the lesser qualified

00:07:27.780 people had to say hey i've got an idea why don't you say he's the vegetable

00:07:33.280 how about that yeah why don't you take it to that next level you know say he should have eaten

00:07:41.420 vegetables that's pretty that's pretty cutting but you should take it to the next level you know

00:07:46.880 that's what the junior uh communication is advisors would have recommended but here's the funniest part

00:07:54.360 uh the the race is close

00:07:59.260 it's neck and neck there's one guy there's one guy who's basically barely organic

00:08:08.000 and again i do have empathy it's a horrible thing to happen to him i wouldn't want it to happen to

00:08:14.400 anybody i loved but the political part of it you can't avoid the fact that that's funny

00:08:20.600 that he literally can't function at all again we have empathy for him but in the political sense

00:08:28.220 they're running somebody who can't even function against oz and it's neck and neck

00:08:33.460 it's like really close

00:08:35.980 that tells you everything you need to know about american politics

00:08:42.780 all right here's another story i swear i'm not high i know it looks like i am but i'm not

00:08:50.320 but it's it's not my fault the news the news is just funny today so i saw uh this wasn't news but

00:08:58.540 there's one of these little uh advertisement kind of interstitial things you see on the internet all

00:09:04.180 the time and it purported to show the iqs of uh the 40 smartest presidents

00:09:10.100 and the first thing that's funny about it is that we can calculate the iq of

00:09:17.460 the uh of like the founders of the country now i get that they were smart but you can't really

00:09:24.400 calculate their iqs that's not a thing uh but apparently they think they did and the funniest part

00:09:30.780 is i think they put uh trump at like number three as the one because his iq has never been

00:09:38.540 measured in any way that anybody's seen but he claims it's very high so they they use his claim

00:09:46.300 of his iq and put him on a list at at like number three

00:09:50.060 oh my god and but here's the part i like best do you know who's number one according to this

00:10:01.580 very unscientific list do you know who is the number one iq of all the presidents anybody know

00:10:09.820 allegedly it was uh john quincy adams john quincy adams who apparently was a harvard graduate and spoke

00:10:18.460 fluently seven languages he spoke fluently seven languages that doesn't even sound true um i never

00:10:28.780 believe that when somebody says they're fluent in seven languages do you ever believe that that's

00:10:33.020 actually true i don't i don't usually that's three that's sort of three plus i don't believe seven

00:10:42.220 but uh i love the fact that uh trump made it onto number three of the smartest presidents list uh just

00:10:50.060 because he made a claim so i thought can i do that i've actually had my iq measured so i actually have a

00:10:58.380 number but you've never seen it you don't have access to it so let me tell you my iq is 185

00:11:08.940 as far as you know so i'm just gonna put it out there because someday they're gonna make a list of

00:11:16.540 the smartest cartoonists and i want them to have the same problem well we couldn't find any information

00:11:23.100 about his iq but he says it's 185 so i'm going with that so from now on from now on i'm not going to tell

00:11:32.620 people that it's a joke i'm just going to put it out there like it's true so you're all in on the joke okay

00:11:40.140 you're all in on the joke from now on i'm just going to say i have an iq of 185 and i'm going to see if

00:11:47.420 i can make that turn into a thing you're all in on it so so and by the way you can help so if you see 0.96

00:11:55.340 like a tweet where somebody's calling me stupid or something just go in there and say stupid he's 0.83

00:12:01.740 reportedly has a iq of 185 but say reportedly just say reportedly it will turn into a fact 0.99

00:12:11.660 and some people are going to believe it all right let's do that uh john john stossel had a

00:12:18.700 uh great piece about uh what it means to be uh scientific in terms of the government and

00:12:27.420 his point was and he he showed lots of good evidence for it that what we believe is science

00:12:33.500 if it has any connection to the government is really just uh left-wing preferences that they've

00:12:40.300 laundered through fake science that's i'm kind of oversimplifying his his thesis

00:12:46.460 um which i can do because i have an iq of 185 so i can i can simplify this so easily with my big iq

00:12:56.140 um and so he makes his case pretty well that if the government is involved in any way you should

00:13:03.020 not assume it's science if the government is involved in any way it's very unlikely that it's

00:13:09.660 actual science it's just advocacy that they launder through fake studies and he gave some examples

00:13:17.180 and but my favorite was and i guess you knew about this but i didn't did you all know that uh steven

00:13:24.540 crowder uh submitted a paper about something about fat studies and fat acceptance and was invited to a

00:13:34.620 some kind of fat acceptance conference where he attended a over zoom in a dressed as a woman 0.59

00:13:42.860 he was dressed as a woman talking talking talking pretty much like a guy but he was dressed as a

00:13:47.660 woman and he completely sold the conference that he was a real scientist or or had real scientific

00:13:55.580 studies or whatever and not only did they love his presentation but they you know invited him to look

00:14:02.380 at some other people's studies

00:14:07.020 oh my god

00:14:07.900 um how many of you know that i once wore a uh disguise and went to a uh a top level uh business

00:14:18.140 meeting in corporate america uh so true story i um years ago when dilbert was sort of a bigger phenomenon

00:14:27.660 in the country that it is right now i uh i dressed in a actual a fake costume i had a mustache and a wig

00:14:37.500 and i went in as a consultant now it was a prank that was being pulled by the san jose mercury news

00:14:45.580 so a reporter there was working with me and she got the ceo of the company to be in on it so the ceo knew

00:14:54.060 that i was a fake but his his top generals did not so it was a meeting of his top generals

00:15:01.420 and this this is what i i did i told them that i was there to help them create a mission statement

00:15:09.820 but i was really there to see if i could get them to create a mission statement that was complete nonsense

00:15:15.740 and i wanted to see if i could get them to create nonsense and all and all bark like train seals

00:15:21.500 and it was awesome and so i i used my hypnosis and persuasion powers to get them to think that they

00:15:30.220 were uh you know contributing to it but i would just take all the worst things they said and write them

00:15:36.380 down and then i struggled them all together until their mission i don't have it with me but their mission

00:15:42.780 statement when it was done was the most ridiculous jargony nonsense because i made sure that the the

00:15:49.660 worst ideas got implemented and i made them think that they were the good ideas and so when it was all

00:15:55.900 done it was something like you know we strive to be the you know it was just just a jargony nonsense

00:16:02.060 thing and then at the end i said you know science has proven that if you want somebody to remember

00:16:08.220 something it helps to make it rhyme or to put it to music and i said is there anybody in the room and

00:16:15.100 remember these are the top executives of a tech company top executives and i said is there anybody

00:16:20.380 in the room who has some musical background who could maybe help turn this mission statement into a musical

00:16:27.420 piece and i actually got somebody to volunteer to turn the mission statement into a song

00:16:38.060 so once i had reached the ultimate level of ridiculousness

00:16:42.220 i stood in front of the group and i just took off my mustache

00:16:45.420 and they're all just sort of in shock and then i and i took off the wig

00:16:55.740 and they're still in shock and then somebody recognized me like you're that dilbert guy you're

00:17:01.500 the dillbert and then it was all over great story anyway uh steven crowder's prank i think is

00:17:09.180 better than mine and one of the best i've ever seen so so kudos to steven crowder i guess this was a

00:17:16.220 while ago he did this i don't remember what but that's that's that's one of the best pranks i've ever

00:17:21.100 seen have you ever seen a better prank than that that's that's gotta be that's gotta be like number one

00:17:29.180 of all american pranks it'd be tough to top that one all right um

00:17:35.180 um so karma is coming for uh andrew taint um been kicked off of all platforms and uh he's made a

00:17:44.780 heartfelt video about how he was bullied and uh that's that's on rumble if you want to see it

00:17:51.260 but uh i'd just like to say something to uh youtube because i know if if you don't mind the people on

00:17:58.620 locals just a point of uh personal privilege hey youtube i understand you banned uh andrew taint

00:18:08.460 there's a video on there you need to get rid of in which he claims that uh i promoted vaccines and

00:18:14.940 masks now those are lies they're not the only lies there the other lies are incredibly misogynistic 0.98

00:18:23.900 and i can't believe you let that video up there youtube so youtube what the fuck are you doing 1.00

00:18:32.700 you mother fucking pieces of shit you cunts you absolute cunts if you're gonna get rid of 1.00

00:18:40.620 andrew taint get rid of all of it because that's the worst thing he has on there and it's still there 1.00

00:18:47.260 you mother fuckers have have any of the uh do i have the attention of any of the censors yet 1.00

00:18:57.180 you stupid fucking cunts you absolute pieces of shit you fucking mother fucking assholes 1.00

00:19:07.500 you listening yet because this is just to the censors if you're watching this to see if you 1.00

00:19:13.900 should ban some some of this or demonetize it you're in the wrong fucking place go look at your 1.00

00:19:19.340 site go find the end routine lying about me get rid of that piece of shit and squash him for good 1.00

00:19:28.540 he's a lying worthless dangerous piece of shit and if you don't get rid of him i'm coming for you 1.00

00:19:39.660 so take care of that 1.00

00:19:46.220 well it turns out that apple is uh decoupling a little bit or at least we like to think so from china

00:19:53.100 um they're uh going to be making more phones in india so i feel like this um

00:20:02.540 um i i feel like i feel like the the decoupling is happening do you think it's real the decoupling with

00:20:13.740 china i think it's very real isn't this like the biggest story that's happening

00:20:20.460 and here's a question that i have for america

00:20:23.900 we can't really decouple from china too effectively if we can't make stuff here 0.81

00:20:31.660 shouldn't we be working really hard to figure out how to make things in america or at the very

00:20:37.020 least make things in central america so we can you know control the immigration although i'm not sure i

00:20:43.740 want to control it anymore you know uh you're gonna hate this that this is just my thought of the day

00:20:53.500 but i'm getting more and more worried about the depopulation problem

00:20:58.780 you know elon musk says it's the biggest biggest risk for civilization and i think i agree it does look

00:21:05.980 like the biggest risk because i do think we have other things somewhat under control

00:21:10.300 but we don't really have a good solution for the underpopulation problem

00:21:17.100 and so i'm wondering if all of us are wrong about immigration

00:21:25.100 now i think immigration had to be controlled when the the natural population was growing

00:21:31.340 i think that stopped around 1970 or so replacement population but you do know that if we stopped

00:21:38.620 immigration or even we if we kept immigration even where it is or we stopped it completely you know

00:21:45.180 we'd be doomed right how many of you know that you know if we stopped immigration just if we stopped 0.89

00:21:51.020 it completely america would be doomed do you know that is that is that something that is not commonly

00:21:59.340 understood yeah there are people saying no yeah there are people who say no so some of you disagree with

00:22:08.540 that you let's let's do this

00:22:15.900 yeah pick your fate yeah as as i've often said we've we've been talking about the wrong question forever

00:22:23.020 we keep talking about immigration yes or no and we never talk about the smart way to say it do you

00:22:30.460 have a mechanism for controlling it can you can you dial it up and dial it down as you need it and can you

00:22:36.380 control who gets in and who doesn't that's the only question we ever should have asked and then the

00:22:41.500 question of how many you let in should be you know experts basically they should say well we're below

00:22:47.340 replacement value we have certain levels skills we need more than others so we'll we'll dial it up

00:22:53.980 but not for everybody we'll let in the people who have certain characteristics certain skills

00:23:01.100 but how many of you are are having a moment right now where you're saying oh

00:23:06.940 shit is that possible is it possible that if we succeeded in keeping everybody out we'd be doomed 0.86

00:23:12.620 it's probable it's actually probable because the only way we would not be doomed is if our 0.97

00:23:19.820 if our own reproduction started suddenly going way up and i don't see anything that's going to happen

00:23:25.260 to do that do you do you see anything that would make people have more babies i mean it could be a

00:23:30.300 pendulum thing maybe it just swings the other way at some point but be careful about what you wish for

00:23:36.140 be careful about what you wish for i feel like at this point um as bad as the problems that immigration

00:23:44.620 creates they might be less than the alternative and i'm at least open to that conversation where i don't

00:23:52.700 think i was even a week ago a week ago i don't think i would said this it's just the more i think about

00:23:59.100 this population problem uh the more concerned i am and i don't think opening the borders and just

00:24:06.780 like hey everybody come in is the solution that doesn't feel like a good solution but i don't think

00:24:11.980 we're thinking about it as smartly as we need to

00:24:18.220 imagine let's just use your imagination imagine if trump said we need more immigration not less to survive

00:24:26.860 but we have to do it a little smarter how does that sound that sounds completely different doesn't

00:24:34.540 it because as soon as you say we have to limit immigration you sound like a racist because people

00:24:41.340 just assume you know you're talking about brown people but if he came in and said look i agree with 1.00

00:24:47.820 elon musk we have you know i had several kids i like kids we should have kids we're gonna have to have

00:24:53.500 kids but if we don't and that's your choice if you don't have kids you know you're doomed if we

00:24:59.500 don't bring in fresh blood so we don't have a choice but let's do it in the smartest way we can

00:25:06.540 that would solve everything wouldn't it you you tell me that somebody could argue against that position

00:25:13.900 we need more people we just have to be smarter about it who who disagrees with that

00:25:19.340 you could so easily so easily make that case now i know there's some of you said no we don't we don't

00:25:27.900 need more people but i would ask you to research population collapse as a risk so just do some

00:25:36.620 reading on population collapse and you might change your mind you might change your mind yeah we like

00:25:43.500 skilled people first but remember uh young people don't have skills and a lot of the people that

00:25:51.820 we're bringing in are the young people without the adults by the way if that's a thing so it's not

00:25:58.460 uncommon for the the young kids to come to america and the parents not be able to come for one reason or

00:26:05.980 another so they do send their kids and they can be trained so biden is uh pushing the student loan

00:26:16.140 forgiveness ten thousand dollars per person i think it was uh uh was on the five and dana perino was

00:26:26.540 saying there was dana perino was saying that the ten thousand dollar forgiveness um might make a lot of

00:26:33.180 people angry so they would vote against the democrats for doing it but probably there's

00:26:40.220 not anybody going to be so happy about it that they vote for it i don't know about that i don't know

00:26:45.180 if you were a student or if you had student loans wouldn't you vote for the person who gave you ten

00:26:50.620 thousand dollars all else being equal which most people don't follow the news anyway they just say

00:26:58.700 wait i just vote for this person i might get ten thousand dollars i don't know there's no right

00:27:05.020 answer for uh student loan forgiveness uh meaning that it's a problem that needs to be addressed but

00:27:14.300 on the other hand it's a problem that people created for themselves but on the other other hand

00:27:20.380 there's no free will so if you knew that somebody had conned you and you were a victim

00:27:26.460 would you blame the victim because that's what we're doing we are blaming the victim

00:27:33.260 if they took out too big of a school loan because they're a victim of society society said you have

00:27:38.460 to go to college and if you can't do it any other way you got to get a loan that's what we told everybody

00:27:45.900 we brainwashed kids into thinking that's the only way to succeed so if you brainwash people and then

00:27:53.500 they do what you brainwash them to do is it fair to blame them is it because to me they're the victims

00:28:00.940 why are you blaming the victims

00:28:05.820 seems to me the colleges have something to explain

00:28:11.500 but again they don't most of the colleges don't have enough extra cash that they could do anything

00:28:16.140 about this either so the real the real solution is the long term which is uh redoing education so

00:28:26.060 re education has to be redone so it doesn't cost anything you know the actual cost of an education

00:28:32.140 what do you think it should be it should approach zero over time the cost of an education should

00:28:39.820 be trending towards zero forever you know it'll never get to zero but it will half that distance

00:28:48.860 every few years right into perpetuity until it costs a penny because in theory once you get something on

00:28:56.700 video or in vr or whatever form it is once it's there it can teach people math forever from the same content

00:29:05.500 right so at the moment there is not a substitute for in-person learning that's as good you'd agree

00:29:14.380 with that right zoom is not as good as in-person learning for most things but for some things it's

00:29:20.860 already a little bit better just special cases the special case would be the teacher is not so good

00:29:27.740 but the video is excellent and it's a visual thing so being on video helps so but that that crossover

00:29:34.780 will continue there's no chance no chance that a human teacher can be competitive with technology

00:29:42.620 as a teacher no chance not in the long run so in the long run it might be an avatar or an ai or something

00:29:50.940 but there's no way that a human will be able to you know be competitive except maybe as a coach or in

00:29:57.180 the room or something right but the main teaching will definitely be technology and that means that the cost of

00:30:02.780 it should be dropped so that's the long term and i've said this before but if i if you haven't heard

00:30:10.700 it i'm going to make this a thing i i tried to start a startup to do this and actually had an agreement

00:30:17.500 to get it funded a company was going to work with me on this but something happened with that company and

00:30:22.780 they changed their priorities and fell apart and the idea was this that each of the the courses that you

00:30:29.100 teach in school should be uh defined so that you can break the course into chunks all right here's

00:30:37.660 the module where you learn how to calculate um angles and geometry or whatever it is but like

00:30:44.860 discrete little chapters and then you say each of these chapters is available to the entire world

00:30:51.180 to make a better version so you can just work on this module if you could teach somebody how to

00:30:58.140 calculate an angle better than anybody else then maybe yours gets voted up because people would you

00:31:05.340 know be analyzing them and then your module gets voted up to be a recommended part of the class

00:31:12.300 and then somebody comes in later and they come up with a better module

00:31:15.180 and your that module gets voted up and replaces the other one over time all of the modules in the

00:31:21.660 class would be the best one that the market could produce it'd be way better than a human human teacher 0.99

00:31:28.060 way better wanting to be close you just have to add competition and then you have to build a an amazon

00:31:34.540 like market where people know exactly what they're building and what money they could make if it's successful

00:31:41.020 like a book right when you write a book you have a really good idea you know what's my advance and if

00:31:47.740 it succeeds what's my upside it's a very mature market education will become that so in the long term

00:31:55.740 i would expect amazon would be the only place you get an education how about that and it won't cost much

00:32:03.420 maybe you pay a dollar for a module it's just video right so they can deliver it for basically zero cost

00:32:14.780 so yeah dollar a module times everybody who's learning it's pretty it's pretty good profit

00:32:24.060 once there's a good lesson who will ever uh well anybody who thinks that they can write a better book

00:32:29.500 tries to write books even though there are plenty of books already you never have to worry

00:32:35.980 so i'm seeing you know khan academy and udemy and everything being recommended but i don't think

00:32:41.820 that any of those models have what i'm describing i think they have entire courses given by you know one

00:32:50.460 set of people or person i don't think there's any one course that's broken into chunks is that true but

00:32:57.420 if you ever see that let me know because i would promote it for you jordan peterson is working on a

00:33:02.700 school like that are you serious well let me know about that if oh yes well i'll be down so you're saying

00:33:11.020 the udemy does that uh i don't believe that i think udemy is just something you want me to know about which

00:33:17.660 i know about um all right

00:33:30.460 okay um

00:33:34.060 how would you like me to make your past problems disappear

00:33:37.020 does anybody is anybody uh wracked by let's say doubt or guilt about the past

00:33:46.940 anything that's been bothering you

00:33:48.700 well let me see

00:33:53.420 identifying with the past

00:33:57.500 one of the most reading things i've ever experienced imagine for a second

00:34:00.940 you literally had no past that your life simply began right now

00:34:06.140 an insane in my own ability to manifest things

00:34:12.140 insane a belief well it looks like that got cut off for some reason but as it turns out i can

00:34:19.420 complete it even better than listening to the video because it's hard to listen to the video

00:34:24.860 i'll just tap the video you don't need to hear the rest of the video because i was going to do this

00:34:28.860 uh myself so i want to give some um credit to the person who reminded me to do it it goes like this

00:34:39.020 okay you just want me to tap it don't you

00:34:43.820 all right because i know you're not going to stop saying that until i do

00:34:51.580 uh but uh no i'm not going to do that forget that

00:34:56.540 uh i'm not going to show that to you because i can do it better myself okay so stop saying tap

00:35:04.380 there's absolutely no reason you need to keep identifying with the past if you disagree

00:35:11.420 god um so i'm going to do it myself it goes like this think about where you are look at your

00:35:21.420 surroundings just look at your surroundings

00:35:27.180 and feel that this is all that exists imagine that you were just born into the world this moment

00:35:37.020 you just you never existed before and you just popped into existence right where you are now do this

00:35:43.580 do this uh with me just look around and just say i just popped into existence somehow i know how

00:35:53.820 everything works it's like oh i know what this is so just go through the visualization and just imagine

00:36:00.540 you just appeared in the world history even if you have a memory of it doesn't exist you couldn't take

00:36:09.180 a handful of history you couldn't punch history you couldn't put it in your pocket you couldn't paint

00:36:15.100 it you couldn't touch it you couldn't smell it history doesn't exist what is this is this

00:36:21.740 and you can start today and just say i'll just act like my history started today just act like it didn't

00:36:28.940 exist now you don't have to worry about the reality of it because we're not talking about reality

00:36:35.580 when you reframe things you don't need to be technically correct it just has to work and that's

00:36:44.060 the main theme of my reframing book that i'm working on now a reframe doesn't have to be true it doesn't

00:36:50.620 have to be logical it doesn't have to be factual it just has to work this is one of those instead of

00:36:59.820 imagining yourself as as a creature across time imagine yourself as a creature of a time you are

00:37:07.340 of the moment imagine you are not a creature who is spread across the past and the future you're a

00:37:14.220 person who exists right now and that's all you are is it true it doesn't matter it doesn't matter

00:37:22.060 it does matter if you can imagine it as true which you can and when you do that it takes all those past

00:37:29.420 things and puts them into the imaginary box and then you can close the box at least for a little

00:37:34.860 while you can live free from the box eventually the past gets out of the box but you can do it again

00:37:42.780 just every time the past gets out of the box and you start obsessing about it just bring yourself to the

00:37:47.820 room touch things feel things and say i was just born i just came into existence here's here's the stuff

00:37:55.500 i have to work with what do i have okay i got this body i apparently have some kind of job i know of

00:38:02.860 and i'm in this space i'm hungry i'm horny i'm tired i'm something but i'm right now

00:38:11.740 i'm right now

00:38:14.940 that is the technique now some of you probably felt it just in my description of it

00:38:23.180 but it does work this is one i use all the time by the way i've used this a number of times and it

00:38:28.380 does work for a while right it's one of those things you'd have to reinforce but it works for a while

00:38:35.500 try it out all right

00:38:38.060 so this next part uh many of you will want to turn off i think we can um we can agree that nobody cares

00:38:52.620 about vaccinations anymore right do we all agree with that nobody wants to hear an argument about it

00:38:59.340 nobody wants to hear if you chose right or chose wrong blah blah right but here's what i'm not going

00:39:09.420 to release on how we think about things that's important right and given that i have an iq of 185

00:39:22.220 i'm going to help you think through some things and i was sort of curious myself about how people were

00:39:27.980 thinking about it so i did a i did a uh poll and when in which i asked people uh um what is your level

00:39:36.780 of certainty that the risk of long covet for people over 40 we'll forget about the young people for a

00:39:42.940 moment but um what is your certainty that the risk of long covet for people over 40 is too small to be of

00:39:49.260 concern how certain are you that long covet is something you don't need to worry about

00:39:57.260 the people who are totally certain that long covet is nothing to worry about was uh what do you think

00:40:03.900 that came out to about roughly the people who are totally certain that you don't need to worry about

00:40:09.900 long covet at all yeah it's about a quarter about a quarter of the people

00:40:15.260 that's probably a coincidence it was 28 specifically

00:40:21.340 um

00:40:23.340 and then uh

00:40:26.140 where's the other people did that really not print

00:40:30.780 oh here it is uh people who are confident but not totally certain was about a third

00:40:36.140 and then 38 said it was just unknown just unknown now that's your whole uh that's your whole vaccination

00:40:46.380 discussion right there right because if you said to yourself you were sure about the risk of of long

00:40:54.380 covet you had everything you needed am i correct if you were sure about your risk of long covet that it

00:41:02.460 wasn't a risk then i think you'd have everything you needed to make a an informed decision would

00:41:08.940 you agree with that because you have some sense of the vaccination itself you have some sense of the risk

00:41:16.540 of the of the the virus itself the only thing that was unknown would be the long covet would you agree

00:41:25.340 with that that that was the big unknown and if you were positive that you knew then you would say i do

00:41:32.780 everything i knew does that sound correct okay i i would agree that if you knew long covet risks

00:41:41.500 somehow you had a way to do it that's all you know but i asked people also

00:41:47.420 um i asked this question i'll ask you here all right you ready now some of you are going to say hey

00:42:00.460 that's a trick question but here's what you can't do you can't add your own assumptions you can't change

00:42:07.900 the question this is only to see how you think it's not about the actual pandemic right so it's not about

00:42:15.500 this pandemic it's just a general how do you think question and the question is this if you knew for

00:42:22.380 certain all right now you have to accept it's a hypothetical question so there's no doubt because

00:42:28.860 it's just hypothetical right if you knew for certain exactly the risk of a vaccine and it doesn't matter

00:42:35.580 what vaccine again it's not about the pandemic if you knew exactly the risk of a vaccine would you

00:42:41.740 know enough to make a decision about taking it go if you knew the exact risk of the vaccine for you

00:42:49.100 would you know enough yes yes some say no why do you say no and some say yes

00:42:58.620 i'm saying you know exactly what the vaccine risk is for you not even for other people you know for you

00:43:04.940 do you now those of you are watching the answers go by are you confused that there are people saying

00:43:12.940 yes and people saying no like do you wonder what the other people are thinking isn't are you curious

00:43:21.340 like whichever answer you gave aren't are you shaking your head and saying how in the world could

00:43:25.900 somebody be on the other side of this question and it doesn't matter which side you took right aren't

00:43:30.540 you amazed aren't you amazed that somebody's answering differently than you are it's kind of weird

00:43:36.540 isn't it no matter which side you're on it seems weird doesn't it yeah well here's the answer uh

00:43:45.020 because i have a iq of 185 as far as you know uh the answer is that if you knew the exact risks of the

00:43:52.540 vaccines it wouldn't tell you anything that's no information no useful information it's none do you

00:44:02.460 understand that that knowing everything about the vaccination would give you no information that's

00:44:09.340 useful for making a decision about taking it how many of you understand that point that having complete

00:44:16.460 accurate information about the vaccine doesn't give you any information about

00:44:21.180 whether you should take it hey you got really quiet there didn't you some of you got really quiet

00:44:29.420 suddenly do i need to explain why that's true do i need to explain that because a lot of people

00:44:40.060 i think half of the people said that if they knew the risk of the vaccine they'd have everything they

00:44:45.900 needed to make a decision and they needed to make a decision and that's 100 wrong because you would

00:44:51.340 also have to know the risk of the thing you're trying to solve with the vaccine so if you knew

00:44:58.220 everything about the risk of long covid and everything about the risk of dying and everything about the risk

00:45:05.580 of the vaccine you'd probably have enough information but if you only know about the vaccine or think you do

00:45:13.500 and you don't know if you've got if long covid is real or not then you don't have enough information to

00:45:19.900 make an informed decision now those of you who think long covid is not real can in the comments

00:45:28.300 tell me is long covid real or not real you tell me in the comments is it real or not real

00:45:33.100 uh i'm seeing a little bit of both right not real not real okay look this is one of those questions

00:45:41.740 that i i can answer with complete certainty most things i can't answer with this level of certainty it's

00:45:48.780 real i i had long covid for a month there's no question that's what it was no question and i couldn't walk

00:45:58.620 upstairs for a month and i'm in good shape right normally i run upstairs you know even at my current

00:46:08.140 age i run upstairs just because i'm always in a hurry but i couldn't walk upstairs for about a week

00:46:17.740 like i had to i'd stand at the bottom and go

00:46:19.580 like it was a process now i lost a month of quality life meaning that i could not enjoy myself

00:46:31.100 in any way whatsoever for a month if i had it to do over again i would have taken the booster

00:46:41.020 now i didn't get the booster shots because i didn't want the risk of the vaccination

00:46:46.700 when i thought that the risk of omicron was so small right so i said ah why would i take the

00:46:53.820 extra risk of a vaccination when the omicron is such a small risk if you had told me that i would lose

00:47:00.700 a month of my life i would have taken the booster because i i think there was a chance it would have

00:47:07.580 reduced my symptoms now i do have regret but i have regret that i didn't take the booster

00:47:16.540 and that's sort of a recent realization now i do like the fact that i have maybe something like

00:47:23.100 natural immunity but just omicron i don't know

00:47:28.620 somebody says uh 185 iq and vaxxed here let me let me with your brains a little bit

00:47:35.980 there are people here who got vaxxed and there are people who didn't get vaxxed

00:47:39.740 how many think you made the right choice no matter which way you went

00:47:42.860 just speak for yourself how many of you say you made the right choice for you go

00:47:52.940 all yeses all right i think i saw one no one i don't know but mostly mostly we've decided we made

00:48:00.780 the right choices so i think we could all claim victory we can claim that we all made the right

00:48:06.780 choice no matter what choice we made so that's pretty good anyway

00:48:17.100 now if you tell me it would be a bad decision to add a booster to the whatever else i've already got

00:48:22.700 in me because the booster itself has some risks which of course it does i would tell you that you

00:48:30.060 didn't experience my my month of long covet if you had experienced my month of long covet you would

00:48:36.540 be way more flexible about the risk of the vaccination it was really bad it was really bad for a month

00:48:48.460 all right um but let me say as clearly as i can i don't i don't know what's going to happen in the

00:48:55.580 future i don't know if i'll get a blood clot in the future and i don't know if my long covid will be

00:49:01.020 the cause or the vaccination i don't know you know i i was guessing and i wanted to take a vacation

00:49:08.700 um here's something interesting what percentage of doctors uh immediately signed up for the mrna

00:49:17.820 vaccination when it was available what percentage of doctors because we don't trust experts right

00:49:23.900 can't really trust experts anymore we don't trust the government we don't trust the who

00:49:29.340 right um i saw a number that said 96 percent

00:49:36.220 yeah i saw 96 percent does that sound right now i don't know if it's right but let's say let's say it

00:49:43.260 is if 96 percent of the doctors took the vaccination do you think they did it for coercion reasons

00:49:51.340 does that sound like doctors the doctors that you know have you ever met a doctor are doctors

00:50:00.380 opinionated do doctors have strong opinions about things yes they do doctors have really strong

00:50:07.740 opinions about yet you think you could get 96 percent of them to sign up to an experimental drug

00:50:14.060 unless they were feeling comfortable it was the right choice now that doesn't mean it was the right

00:50:20.060 choice i'm just saying did they feel comfortable all right now let's compare that to this situation

00:50:27.980 i recently was diagnosed with a forget what you call it one of the hernias it's like a little hernia

00:50:35.020 like a break and it doesn't matter what it is but when i talked to the experts my my regular doctor

00:50:44.780 had primed me this i'm going to have you talk to the expert the surgeon who does the the the surgery

00:50:52.300 but you should know before you talk to the doctor that the doctors who do the surgery are the least

00:50:58.220 yeah it's an inguinal inguinal thing that the doctors who do the surgery are the least likely

00:51:05.020 to have it performed on them and i said what that's right the doctors who do the surgery

00:51:13.340 are the least likely group to have the surgery done on them if they have the same problem do you know why

00:51:18.140 too risky too risky too risky yeah and and so when i talked to my surgeon

00:51:29.260 he he he started going through this long description of the risks and rewards

00:51:35.660 and then i i just stopped him i said most of the people who do do what you do do they get the

00:51:41.580 operation because i heard they don't and he just stopped and he said what do you do for a living

00:51:54.300 he goes what do you do for a living and i told them and he goes okay because i thought you were

00:52:00.780 probably some kind of science or engineering kind of person because you you got to the risk

00:52:06.300 too quickly basically the only thing that mattered was that the people who have the most information

00:52:13.180 about it don't do it he goes that's the only thing that mattered right there all the other stuff

00:52:20.860 all the other stuff it doesn't matter to the decision what you need to know is that the people

00:52:25.820 who absolutely positively know the most about this don't do it that's what you needed to know

00:52:32.060 everything else was a distraction and so i didn't do it now i still might do it the the factor is if

00:52:40.540 it ends up you know being painful or something but it's not painful it doesn't bother me so i don't do

00:52:45.820 it someday i might so you would do it if it hurt you every day and you didn't have a choice basically

00:52:51.820 so yeah you just got a life just got a life lesson didn't you right so i'm not going to say that

00:52:59.420 because doctors all did it that's a good idea because i think the peer pressure in this pandemic

00:53:06.060 situation was not like anything else can we agree generally speaking if all the doctors are doing it

00:53:13.980 i'm going to be feeling favorable about it this would be the exception because i think the pandemic was

00:53:20.620 such a big psychological event as well as a medical event that i don't believe you could trust even the

00:53:27.340 experts to make independent decisions i don't think that was an option some will become rogue and maybe

00:53:34.940 be right i generally bet against the rogues because they're usually wrong no matter how convincing they

00:53:42.940 are they're usually wrong some of them might be right

00:53:49.340 all right so that's all i'm gonna um the the thing that i noticed is that the people who were the most

00:53:55.980 certain that they had made the right decision were also the least likely to know what all the

00:54:00.780 variables were i'll say it again the people who are most certain that they made the right decision

00:54:06.700 about vaccine or unvaccine are also the people who are least aware of the variables because almost

00:54:15.500 everybody who says i didn't get a vaccination and i'm happy about it doesn't include long

00:54:20.620 covid as even a risk variable if they do include it then they say well i've said it's zero risk but

00:54:28.300 that's not based on information it couldn't be because we don't know the future right and if you had if

00:54:35.420 you'd lost a month of productivity and you thought you could have that lost month two or three more times

00:54:41.740 because keep in mind i don't know if i get omicron again i don't know if my natural immunity would keep

00:54:49.500 me from a month of of uh you know badness again because remember this is an engineered we think

00:54:58.140 i believe i can say that now i all indications are from what i can hear that it's probably

00:55:05.980 an engineered virus how many of you believe you can predict the long-term effect of an engineered virus

00:55:13.580 how many think that's a thing how many of you can predict what will happen having an engineered

00:55:22.140 virus in your body interesting because we all agree we can't predict how bad the virus will be

00:55:30.780 but yet you're confident of your decisions you shouldn't be confident of a decision if you don't

00:55:36.380 know what the future looks like confidence in the decision means you do know what the future looks like

00:55:42.220 because it's just causing the fact that's obviously going to happen

00:55:48.540 all right

00:55:51.340 so that was about what i wanted to do and

00:56:01.500 so the reason that the andrew taint thing pisses me off is that he got a lot of attention and part of

00:56:08.540 it was a lie about me well actually several lies about me and so his lie is that i was pro-vaccination

00:56:16.940 pro-mask that's the opposite of true i was anti anti-mandate anti-mandate what you do with your own body

00:56:24.620 that's your decision but definitely anti-mandate for all those things so he has lied in a very dangerous

00:56:32.060 lie about me and so karma is coming to get him and uh

00:56:41.180 he said my iq was 112. 185 you tell him 185

00:56:52.860 confident in making the right choice given the current information okay i'll take that i'll take

00:56:57.420 that correction in case you never think i changed my mind yes being confident that you made the right

00:57:04.700 decision with what you knew at the time is different from being confident that it will work out that

00:57:11.100 that is correct i i accept that correction

00:57:17.020 all right let me ask you this a number of people told me that the fact that the medical community was

00:57:23.180 all on the same page on vaccinations is your indication that there's something wrong yes or no

00:57:32.060 the fact that the medical community was so pro vaccination and it seemed like they had all you

00:57:37.980 know except for the rogues here or there that they they seem to have this unified front is that an

00:57:43.260 indication that there's a problem look at your answers yeses and nos

00:57:49.420 here's the right answer

00:57:55.420 the right answer is there are two situations in which the medical community would be on the same

00:58:01.020 side

00:58:03.820 one is the one that we're talking about everybody is group thinking and uh they're afraid of the

00:58:10.700 consequences of going against the recommendations that's one possibility what's the other possibility

00:58:17.020 for why all of the medical community would be on the same side i'll give you an example the medical

00:58:22.300 community is very uh let's say unified in saying that smoking cigarettes is bad for your lungs and for

00:58:29.740 your health now is that a red flag that the medical community is pretty much solidly against cigarette

00:58:36.620 smoking is that a red flag that maybe cigarette smoking is good for you

00:58:40.780 no there are two situations in which the medical community might be unified one is if they're totally

00:58:50.940 correct and that's the most common one the most common way that the medical community agrees is when

00:58:58.860 they're completely correct the least likely way that they all agree is peer pressure but it is a thing

00:59:07.500 that's a real thing i absolutely agree with you that what we could be seeing could be nothing but peer

00:59:13.900 pressure that's possible it's not my it's not my opinion but if you say it's not possible oh it's possible

00:59:23.500 it's very possible that every one of them could be wrong very possible it's just the least likely

00:59:29.020 possibility the most likely possibility is at the right by far probably ten to one

00:59:35.740 if i had to put a number on it i'd say when no matter the situation if you see the medical

00:59:42.460 community is solidly agreed probably ten to one they're right but the pandemic would be the one

00:59:51.980 situation where you'd have to question it can we agree on that that the pandemic was such an unusual

00:59:58.940 situation with government control and everything else that is the one time where all the doctors

01:00:05.740 being on the same side should mean closer to nothing

01:00:12.060 closer to nothing but if you took it as more than nothing and you moved it all to a all the way to

01:00:18.620 well it's a sign of fraud well that's not justified the fact that they all agree is not a signal for fraud

01:00:25.500 it's either a signal that it's an obvious good thing or something extraordinary happened and

01:00:32.300 unusual but that extraordinary and unusual thing would happen in exactly that situation

01:00:39.100 so it wouldn't be extraordinary in that situation you know the pandemic

01:00:43.260 all right uh the doctors were unified that masks don't work at first

01:00:54.700 were they no they weren't no they weren't

01:01:00.780 i don't think doctors have ever been unified on masks i think masks is the one thing they're not unified on

01:01:06.540 but uh well let me take let me say that differently i believe that doctors are unified that masks uh work

01:01:15.500 with quotes if you're visiting your 90 year old grandmother in the rest home correct or not

01:01:22.220 i believe that nearly 100 percent of doctors in the pandemic context would tell you to wear a mask if

01:01:28.780 you're visiting your grandmother in the rest home and not just for looks and not just because it's the rules

01:01:34.540 but i think all of them would say you know it might make some difference it might make some difference

01:01:43.420 so if you believe that uh the virus is too small for the mask holes which is true the virus is much

01:01:52.860 smaller than the gaps in the masks and plus it gets out the sides plus people wear them wrong

01:01:58.060 so in the real world if you're wearing it all day probably doesn't make much difference because

01:02:05.740 there's enough getting out if you're around people all day long you know it doesn't matter how it gets

01:02:11.580 there but on a short visit does your mask get moisture on the inside of the mask yes or no is there

01:02:20.220 moisture from your exhaling on the inside of the mask there is right and if the virus travels on

01:02:27.980 the moisture do you think there's do you think you wouldn't be able to measure any virus on the mask

01:02:33.980 if somebody had covid you don't think you'd be able to pick it up on the inside of the mask

01:02:39.900 so we know the mask would stop some if it only stopped bad logic it's not bad logic

01:02:48.780 remember i've got an iq of 185 don't forget that

01:02:51.420 uh so if you know that virus is on moisture you know the moisture is on the mask some of that virus

01:03:00.380 is on the mask now is that enough to make a difference don't know because one of the hypotheses that we

01:03:07.820 heard that i've not heard debunked but i've not heard it confirmed is that the amount of virus you're

01:03:13.500 initially exposed to makes a difference how many of you think that that's confirmed or maybe just

01:03:19.580 logical that the amount of initial virus you're you come with yeah logically it makes sense but it

01:03:26.060 doesn't mean it's doesn't mean it's true right our logic brings us oh less virus probably good because

01:03:32.700 your body has less to fight right

01:03:36.860 right so here are the things that we can say for sure from an engineering perspective

01:03:43.180 there's a hundred percent chance the mask to stop some virus if you disagree with that you're a 1.00

01:03:49.020 fucking idiot let me just say that does anybody disagree with that does anybody want to out 1.00

01:03:54.860 themselves as a fucking idiot if there's moisture on the mask and the virus travels in the moisture 1.00

01:04:02.060 it's stopping something right nobody disagrees with that right now do we see the difference in the 1.00

01:04:10.060 statistics i haven't seen it so whatever is happening is too small to justify a mandate but

01:04:19.980 probably not too small to justify wearing it if you're visiting your 90 year old grandmother in the

01:04:25.500 rest home how many would agree with that assessment there's no evidence that it works in a macro sense

01:04:31.580 when everybody wears them and there's definite indications that there are negatives to it

01:04:35.980 but if you're visiting grandma who knows worth a shot are we all on the same page i think we're

01:04:45.900 on the same page now i would also say that in the beginning we didn't know i mean you know we're

01:04:53.980 guessing so i i don't i don't fault anybody for being wrong in the beginning except that fauci told us he

01:05:00.780 lied but he lied but he lied for a reason that was i hate to say it

01:05:09.820 he had a reason and that reason was for the benefit of the medical community so they wouldn't run out of

01:05:16.540 masks and that was the right call that well the right call was to protect the medical community first

01:05:23.820 it doesn't mean that was the only way he could do it but i don't have a better idea

01:05:26.940 like if i'd been in his position i feel like i would have lied would you if you thought that the lie

01:05:35.580 would protect people's lives would you have lied in that position

01:05:43.900 it's easy to say no but people would die if you told the truth you know that right suppose suppose you

01:05:50.860 were sure that telling the truth would kill people would you lie anyway or would you tell the truth

01:05:56.540 if you knew people would die because you told the truth would you tell the truth

01:06:03.500 yeah it gets tougher if you know people are going to die because i think that was the case

01:06:07.980 i think i think fauci was closer to knowing people would die if he told the truth

01:06:12.540 yeah so i think here's how i would have preferred to handle it and it would have gone like this

01:06:25.900 we need those n95 masks for the medical community if i see you wearing an n95 mask and you're not a 1.00

01:06:33.740 doctor i'm going to talk to you about it and everybody else should too if you see somebody

01:06:41.180 wearing an n95 ask them if they're a doctor well i mean if they're outside the street

01:06:47.980 i don't know why are they wearing it anyway but

01:06:53.100 but i think you could have uh embarrassed the public out of wearing them i think you could have done that

01:06:59.820 you could have just embarrassed the public and say look if you're wearing an n95 mask in public and i 0.99

01:07:05.180 don't have them enough for my surgery team you're an asshole yeah i get that you're protecting 0.99

01:07:11.660 yourself i get that it's your right but you're not making the right choice for the country so i feel 0.99

01:07:17.980 like we maybe could have embarrassed the country into you know not scooping them up because i do think

01:07:24.860 i do think that americans will step up what do you think i mean not everybody in every situation but

01:07:33.740 my impression of americans is that in emergencies we do step up and i think if he said this is an

01:07:39.740 emergency i'm going to ask you not to protect yourself i'm going to ask you not to protect yourself

01:07:46.540 with these n95s until the medical community can protect themselves because that's your better 1.00

01:07:52.300 outcome in the long run would we have stepped up well if 10 said they wouldn't because they just

01:08:01.100 are afraid i would say those 10 probably needed them you know if there's 10 who have such a mental

01:08:08.700 let's say they're so mentally debilitated by what they perceive as the risks

01:08:12.700 and maybe they need the n95s right because at that point it's medically required but i think you

01:08:19.340 could get 80 of the public to say you know i will i'll increase my risk a little bit for you doctors

01:08:25.500 because you're increasing your risk for me how hard is it to increase your personal risk

01:08:31.500 to benefit somebody who's increasing their personal risk and you're seeing it in real time

01:08:36.140 for you everybody in the medical community increased their personal risk for you

01:08:43.180 would i increase my personal risk to compensate them absolutely in a heartbeat yeah it would be an easy

01:08:50.700 choice yeah yeah maybe 75 percent you're right

01:08:59.180 uh wow you're really showing your covet stripes here really

01:09:03.820 uh sean so you're you're on a subscription platform so i'm going to uh charitably assume

01:09:17.900 that uh i'm misinterpreting you all right so if you'd like this would be a good time to explain

01:09:25.420 what you meant by i'm showing my covet stripes because i think you heard what i said about the

01:09:32.300 last person who misinterpreted me on this topic and i'd be happy to say it again but i'm going to

01:09:38.940 charitably assume that you are um

01:09:44.700 oops

01:09:47.660 i just lost the feed

01:09:51.580 hold on a second

01:09:52.460 how the hell did that happen you just lost the entire locals feed

01:10:03.500 there we are

01:10:06.460 hey i'm back hello

01:10:08.540 sorry i hit the wrong button

01:10:20.540 you are scared and making decisions based on fear 1.00

01:10:23.260 all right you stupid bastard 1.00

01:10:27.340 um let me let me take a minute to deal with the people who say that i'm afraid and making my 1.00

01:10:32.620 decisions based on fear

01:10:36.220 number one i don't really even remember the last time i was afraid

01:10:40.940 not really

01:10:43.340 i mean honestly if you said when was the last time you were afraid of something i was like

01:10:47.260 i don't know i can't even think of the last time i i do see things as mostly risk but even within

01:10:55.180 that context of not actually feeling fear fear oh actually i'll talk the last time i was afraid was

01:11:03.100 when the supply chain looked like it was at risk the when the supply chain looked like it was going to

01:11:09.100 crash i was a little worried about that now i told you i wasn't worried and that was part of

01:11:13.500 making sure it didn't crash but that worried me i don't remember having any specific you know

01:11:20.940 worries about the virus or the vaccination i would say those of you who believe that the people who

01:11:28.780 got vaccinated was because of fear and the people who didn't get the vaccination were brave 1.00

01:11:35.340 well you're idiots you're idiots let me be you're you're a idiot if you think that 1.00

01:11:41.580 that because the reason you didn't get the vaccination is you were afraid of it 1.00

01:11:46.460 now you might not have been trembling in your boots maybe you weren't shaking i'm not shaking

01:11:53.660 but you looked at two things two risks and you said this risk is bigger than this one

01:11:59.020 just like every other person they just looked at the two risks and they said i think this one's 0.95

01:12:05.100 bigger than this one for me you're not a hero you're not a fucking hero because you didn't 0.98

01:12:11.500 get the vaccination right you could be somebody who accurately calculated your risks you could be 0.96

01:12:19.180 that you could be a person who took that looked at two risks and made a reasonable decision you could

01:12:24.860 be that absolutely you could be that if you're 25 and you know you're not around a grandmother and you

01:12:32.780 decided not to get vaccinated i'd say well okay that was a reasonable approach if you're 75 and you did

01:12:40.460 to get vaccinated i'd say well i don't know if you're right or you're wrong but it was a good

01:12:44.540 approach but if your view is that the people who looked at two risks which are hard to calculate

01:12:52.860 and they chose a different one from you and you think that they're a coward just because they looked 1.00

01:12:58.460 at two risks they can't calculate and picked one you're a fucking idiot that is the lowest level of 1.00

01:13:06.220 intellectual honesty and evaluation you could possibly have right if you didn't take the 1.00

01:13:13.420 vaccination because you're afraid of it it will kill you or turn you into a mutant you're a 1.00

01:13:18.780 fucking coward oh how does it feel how does it feel how does it feel to be told called a coward for 1.00

01:13:25.660 not taking a vaccination and you say to yourself i'm not a coward i looked at the pluses and the minuses 1.00

01:13:31.580 and i decided that there were more minuses and pluses well you're a fucking coward what stop being 1.00

01:13:36.780 a pussy what well you can't put a little needle in your arm you're afraid of a little mrna oh oh you 1.00

01:13:44.540 fucking pussy you goddamn coward man up man up and put a needle in your arm it's not that hard 1.00

01:13:51.660 all right was that useful 1.00

01:13:52.780 i didn't do anything useful there did i there was no benefit for me calling you a coward because all 0.98

01:14:02.300 you did is what every fucking person did they looked at the risks they did their best based on their 1.00

01:14:08.700 personal situation nobody did anything different from that you're not a fucking hero you're an idiot 1.00

01:14:18.060 so don't go through life thinking i'm a fucking hero i'm a hero i didn't get the jab those dumb people 1.00

01:14:26.380 did no you were afraid of the jab you were afraid you're a fucking coward not really it's just easy to 1.00

01:14:36.380 say right nobody was a coward nobody was a hero we all just did our best and most of us are happy with 0.99

01:14:46.460 our choices most of us are happy with our choices you're not a hero you're not brave you're not the rogue you're not the one who bucked the things

01:14:59.900 right you might turn out to be right i'm not saying you're wrong because again fog of war we're all guessing

01:15:07.340 but and i'll tell you who annoys me the most the people who are sure that they saw the problems coming and here they are

01:15:17.420 those people are really lost

01:15:21.740 uh stop talking about your bad choices

01:15:27.420 um

01:15:30.620 well that's the npc approach

01:15:37.020 how many people did i drive off

01:15:39.420 i want to i was assuming that i'd lose everybody here

01:15:42.620 yeah it looks like i lost most of the youtube people

01:15:46.620 all right um that's all for now

01:15:57.100 all right just looking at your comments for a moment uh youtube i'm done for now i'll talk to you later

01:16:03.900 bye
