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
00:04:54.800
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
00:07:59.260
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
00:08:35.980
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
00:11:55.340
like a tweet where somebody's calling me stupid or something just go in there and say stupid he's
00:12:01.740
reportedly has a iq of 185 but say reportedly just say reportedly it will turn into a fact
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
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
00:14:07.900
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
00:18:23.900
and i can't believe you let that video up there youtube so youtube what the fuck are you doing
00:18:32.700
you mother fucking pieces of shit you cunts you absolute cunts if you're gonna get rid of
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
00:18:47.260
you mother fuckers have have any of the uh do i have the attention of any of the censors yet
00:18:57.180
you stupid fucking cunts you absolute pieces of shit you fucking mother fucking assholes
00:19:07.500
you listening yet because this is just to the censors if you're watching this to see if you
00:19:13.900
should ban some some of this or demonetize it you're in the wrong fucking place go look at your
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
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
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
00:20:23.900
we can't really decouple from china too effectively if we can't make stuff here
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
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
00:22:15.900
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
00:23:12.620
it's probable it's actually probable because the only way we would not be doomed is if our
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
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
00:28:05.820
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
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
00:33:34.060
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
00:33:57.500
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
00:34:12.140
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
00:34:43.820
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
00:35:27.180
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
00:38:14.940
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
00:38:38.060
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
00:40:26.140
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
00:46:19.580
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
00:47:28.620
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
00:49:36.220
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
00:56:01.500
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
00:56:52.860
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
00:57:17.020
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
00:57:55.420
the right answer is there are two situations in which the medical community would be on the same
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
01:01:00.780
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
01:03:36.860
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
01:03:49.020
fucking idiot let me just say that does anybody disagree with that does anybody want to out
01:03:54.860
themselves as a fucking idiot if there's moisture on the mask and the virus travels in the moisture
01:04:02.060
it's stopping something right nobody disagrees with that right now do we see the difference in the
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
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
01:07:05.180
don't have them enough for my surgery team you're an asshole yeah i get that you're protecting
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
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
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
01:08:59.180
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
01:09:52.460
how the hell did that happen you just lost the entire locals feed
01:10:20.540
you are scared and making decisions based on fear
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
01:10:36.220
number one i don't really even remember the last time i was afraid
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
01:11:35.340
well you're idiots you're idiots let me be you're you're a idiot if you think that
01:11:41.580
that because the reason you didn't get the vaccination is you were afraid of it
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
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
01:12:11.500
get the vaccination right you could be somebody who accurately calculated your risks you could be
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
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
01:13:06.220
intellectual honesty and evaluation you could possibly have right if you didn't take the
01:13:13.420
vaccination because you're afraid of it it will kill you or turn you into a mutant you're a
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
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
01:13:31.580
and i decided that there were more minuses and pluses well you're a fucking coward what stop being
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
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
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
01:14:02.300
you did is what every fucking person did they looked at the risks they did their best based on their
01:14:08.700
personal situation nobody did anything different from that you're not a fucking hero you're an idiot
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
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
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
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
01:15:39.420
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
01:15:57.100
all right just looking at your comments for a moment uh youtube i'm done for now i'll talk to you later
