Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2004 Scott Adams： Alternative WEF, Dogbert Takes On Canada, Biden Documents Scandal & More

00:00:00.320 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization, the best thing

00:00:05.380 that'll ever happen to you in your whole damn life. 0.69

00:00:07.560 And if you'd like to increase your enjoyment level, and now it's hard to imagine you could

00:00:13.680 even do it at this point, we're reaching such lofty levels.

00:00:17.720 Well, there's one thing you can try, one last thing you can try to increase your enjoyment,

00:00:23.600 and all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug

00:00:28.100 or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:32.460 I like coffee.

00:00:34.340 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that

00:00:38.080 makes everything better.

00:00:39.300 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.

00:00:43.400 Go.

00:00:48.100 Ah.

00:00:50.200 Let me ask you a question, fine people.

00:00:52.840 Do you believe you can tell the difference between good news and bad news with your common

00:01:02.620 sense and your judgment and your instincts and your heuristics?

00:01:10.000 Well, sometimes it's not so clear.

00:01:13.240 Sometimes we can't tell the difference between good news and bad news.

00:01:17.020 For example, California is suffering a drought for a number of years.

00:01:23.860 What would be good news if you were suffering a drought?

00:01:29.420 Rain.

00:01:31.140 Not just rain, but a lot of rain.

00:01:34.700 A lot of rain.

00:01:36.000 In fact, California got so much rain that it made a dent in the drought.

00:01:43.180 So the news today is the dangerous side to this.

00:01:51.080 Oh yeah, there's a dangerous side to not having a drought.

00:01:55.040 It's that the plants and trees will grow so quickly with all that water that when they

00:02:00.220 inevitably dry out in the summer, it's going to be a forest fire catastrophe.

00:02:08.020 Right.

00:02:09.260 So the good news is the drought's over.

00:02:11.640 The bad news is we'll go up in flames and you won't be able to go outdoors in the summer.

00:02:18.260 So is there anything that Tinder can't ruin?

00:02:22.900 I'll just let that one sit there for a while.

00:02:25.420 Is there anything that Tinder can't ruin?

00:02:29.500 You could just fill in the rest yourself at home.

00:02:31.580 Well, I saw a review, I think it was on CNN, that said there's a new show on that's apparently

00:02:40.960 a banger.

00:02:41.840 It's a banger.

00:02:43.080 I think that's like a British word for good.

00:02:46.160 And I said to myself, wow, are you kidding me?

00:02:49.400 There's something worth watching on television?

00:02:51.320 But before I read the review, before I read the review, I realized what was going on.

00:03:00.120 What does it mean in 2023 when there's a movie or a TV series that's excellent?

00:03:08.520 What's that mean?

00:03:09.840 It's really, really good.

00:03:11.220 Yeah, it was basically Brokeback Mountain.

00:03:16.460 Yeah.

00:03:16.960 So it had to be either Holocaust or Brokeback Mountain, had to be LGBTQ, had to be a trans 0.95

00:03:23.560 in there somewhere.

00:03:25.720 Right?

00:03:26.560 So I'm reading the review.

00:03:27.720 It's like, and the love story between these two men.

00:03:30.800 Oh, okay, I get it.

00:03:32.020 Best thing that's ever been on television.

00:03:33.700 Because it's a love story between two men.

00:03:36.780 And that's all you need to know.

00:03:38.140 Best thing on television ever since the beginning of time.

00:03:40.680 Probably win a lot of awards.

00:03:46.000 CNN's ratings have reached a new nine-year low.

00:03:51.880 And this is why we call Greg Goffheld the Thanos of news.

00:03:57.920 He's destroyed half of his competition already.

00:04:00.820 But that's only part of the story.

00:04:03.700 Apparently, CNN notched its, I'm sorry, a Megyn Kelly tweet.

00:04:13.600 I saw her talking about it.

00:04:14.720 She said it got its lowest ratings in nine years, but it's also the lowest rating across

00:04:19.700 every category of the day.

00:04:22.040 So every hour of the day, a new low.

00:04:25.880 Now, here's the funny thing.

00:04:27.000 On Twitter, you can read the comments of the ex-CNN viewers and how unhappy they are.

00:04:33.700 Do you know why they're so unhappy?

00:04:36.260 Why are the CNN viewers so unhappy with CNN?

00:04:41.620 It started telling real news.

00:04:43.840 Not completely.

00:04:45.940 They still have a good pocket of bias over there that comes out pretty obviously.

00:04:51.840 But they made a concerted, and I think legitimate, move toward actual news, where they didn't just

00:05:00.400 lie about conservatives.

00:05:01.360 And then the people are like, what?

00:05:06.820 What?

00:05:07.860 Yeah.

00:05:08.540 So it turns out you can't make money telling people the truth or attempting to tell them the truth.

00:05:15.260 You could argue whether they get it right.

00:05:16.740 But attempting to tell people a calm, objective truth is terrible for your ratings.

00:05:25.780 Do you know how I know that?

00:05:27.960 Does anybody know how I know that attempting to tell the truth, even if you don't do it right,

00:05:34.440 but attempting to tell the truth, you know that's terrible for ratings, right?

00:05:38.460 It's certainly bad for mine.

00:05:42.580 Now, luckily, I have, you know, a death wish.

00:05:46.660 You know, that's not literal.

00:05:48.840 I don't have a literal death wish.

00:05:51.220 And by the way, I'm not planning to commit suicide.

00:05:53.940 So let me put that out there.

00:05:57.040 I am not planning to commit suicide.

00:05:59.580 Feeling good.

00:06:00.740 Feeling great, actually.

00:06:02.440 Now that I'm off my blood pressure meds, they were definitely screwing with my mind.

00:06:06.320 But I want you to know, I'm not planning to kill myself.

00:06:09.820 Because I do think there's a reasonably good chance I'll get murdered in the next two years.

00:06:14.720 I mean, reasonable chance meaning 5%.

00:06:17.820 Maybe 5%.

00:06:19.500 But that's, you know, more than you want to worry about.

00:06:21.740 Well, you probably don't have a 5% chance of getting murdered.

00:06:25.940 But I have a 5% chance of getting murdered for political reasons.

00:06:29.840 Because I moved the deal.

00:06:33.100 So, anyway.

00:06:37.200 What was I talking about?

00:06:40.240 I completely lost the thread.

00:06:43.500 I don't know.

00:06:43.840 Was it interesting?

00:06:45.200 Was it anything good?

00:06:47.420 Oh, about the news, yeah.

00:06:48.700 So, CNN is losing viewers because they're attempting to tell them the truth.

00:06:55.360 I attempt to tell the truth on my live streams and tweeting.

00:06:59.640 But, of course, everybody just says, well, that's your truth, you big old stupid liar.

00:07:03.900 You gullible idiot.

00:07:05.420 We'll talk more about how dumb I am later.

00:07:09.000 All right.

00:07:09.440 Here's a story that, I swear to God, you really can't tell the difference between parody and reality.

00:07:16.860 If I didn't tell you, if I had not told you in advance that this is real, the following story, would you have believed it?

00:07:25.380 All right.

00:07:25.820 If you didn't know it was real, would you have believed this if you just heard it in the wild?

00:07:29.940 I'm not even sure I believe it, but I saw it today.

00:07:32.160 That the book, 1984, George Orwell's book, famous classic, the estate has approved a request to have it rewritten from a woman's point of view.

00:07:54.720 Finally.

00:07:55.320 Finally.

00:07:55.440 Finally.

00:07:59.520 Yeah.

00:08:00.240 Finally.

00:08:02.460 Finally.

00:08:03.520 I'll tell you, I tried to read that thing.

00:08:06.440 You know I tried to read 1984.

00:08:08.980 I was familiar with it, of course.

00:08:10.820 But I wanted to see if it held up.

00:08:12.840 And I tried to read that thing, and I was like, oh, my God.

00:08:15.780 This book is entirely from a man's point of view.

00:08:19.500 I couldn't even finish it.

00:08:21.460 There were no LGBTQ themes.

00:08:23.920 The Holocaust wasn't even mentioned.

00:08:26.700 Not once.

00:08:30.180 Maybe it was.

00:08:31.460 Maybe it was.

00:08:32.280 Actually, I don't remember.

00:08:35.780 But, you know, the biggest problem was it wasn't from a woman's point of view. 0.84

00:08:41.360 And if you could get that fixed, then that book might have some legs.

00:08:45.560 People might want to start talking about that.

00:08:47.860 Well, well, I swear to God, I had something on my, you know, why is it that, have you ever

00:08:59.560 just tried to open an iPad and just leave it there so you could go back to it?

00:09:04.820 And it'll, like, just, like, change its page, and it'll turn off, and it'll come up, and it'll

00:09:10.780 ask for software updates, and, like, why can't it just sit there?

00:09:15.300 Just sit there and do what the fuck?

00:09:17.600 Sorry.

00:09:18.800 There will be no cursing.

00:09:20.940 There will be no cursing.

00:09:22.140 But I'd like to call your attention to today's Dilbert comic, which I just tweeted, and you

00:09:29.880 may recognize this story.

00:09:31.640 It's Dogbert talking to Dilbert.

00:09:34.420 See if you recognize this story from the news.

00:09:37.500 Dogbert's reading his phone, and Dogbert says, the College of Psychologists of Ontario

00:09:42.600 says they will pull my license unless I surrender to a re-education camp.

00:09:47.160 Dilbert says, you don't live in Canada, and you don't have a license to practice.

00:09:53.800 And then Dilbert says, they are oddly aggressive for Canadians.

00:09:57.400 And Dogbert takes a sip of his coffee and says, sounds like a mental disorder.

00:10:03.640 Do you recognize that story?

00:10:06.220 Yeah, the College of Psychologists of Ontario has asked Dr. Jordan Peterson to come in to

00:10:13.940 be re-educated.

00:10:17.160 The best thing that ever happened to Canadian psychologist industry is Jordan Peterson.

00:10:29.080 He actually made their entire profession look worthwhile for a change.

00:10:35.160 He took this thing that didn't have the greatest reputation in the world, you know, the practice

00:10:39.920 of psychology, and turned it into something useful for millions of people around the world.

00:10:45.320 So what do they got to do?

00:10:47.980 Well, you better re-educate that motherfucker, because, sorry, I just couldn't do it.

00:10:53.360 I just couldn't get through it without swearing.

00:10:57.000 But I think you agree that one belonged.

00:10:59.880 That one belonged there.

00:11:02.200 So I had already previewed to Dr. Peterson that I was going to run this comic.

00:11:09.240 He asked for the original.

00:11:12.300 Do you think I said yes?

00:11:15.540 It's a trick question.

00:11:17.700 It's a trick question.

00:11:19.420 No, it's a trick question.

00:11:20.660 Come on.

00:11:21.200 Come on, it's me.

00:11:22.320 You know it's always a trick question.

00:11:24.780 There's no original.

00:11:26.640 There's no such thing as originals.

00:11:28.760 They're all created digitally.

00:11:29.980 But I will send up a nice copy, because I just wanted him to know, I'm in his corner

00:11:38.380 solidly in his fight against the Ontario, or the College of Psychologists of Ontario.

00:11:45.140 And if you are not aware of this, I'm just guessing.

00:11:52.520 I'm just going to take a guess.

00:11:53.700 There's probably a better than 50% chance that the members of the College of Psychologists

00:12:00.040 of Ontario have been sent a few copies of this comic this morning.

00:12:05.180 Probably.

00:12:06.440 I'll bet they got a few copies sent to them.

00:12:08.960 I'll bet when they opened their email, they were, oh, not 400 copies of this damn thing

00:12:13.700 being sent to me.

00:12:14.860 Why do people keep sending me this comic?

00:12:16.640 Why are they mocking us for this totally reasonable effort of ours to re-educate the only person

00:12:25.200 who has made them look good in their entire history?

00:12:31.320 So, anyway.

00:12:33.000 We'll see if the power of Dilbert has any hold.

00:12:36.200 By the way, this will become the subject of a lawsuit.

00:12:39.940 I think, isn't Dr. Peterson taking him to court?

00:12:44.720 Some kind of lawsuit about this?

00:12:46.640 I don't know the details.

00:12:48.640 But I will tell you that the Dilbert comic has been used in lawsuits before, in legal cases.

00:12:55.480 And it's used in the sense of what should be common knowledge.

00:13:00.160 If it appears in a Dilbert comic, that's evidence that the public should know about this.

00:13:07.300 That it's a commonly understood thing.

00:13:09.440 Otherwise, it doesn't become a comic.

00:13:11.340 You know, I wouldn't do a comic about something that, you know, isn't real.

00:13:14.760 Well, I guess I would, but you know the difference.

00:13:18.900 So, it could make a difference.

00:13:22.700 It could make the difference.

00:13:23.820 Because being in a Dilbert comic establishes that it's ridiculous.

00:13:28.520 You get that, right?

00:13:30.220 Like, it wouldn't work as a joke.

00:13:32.840 It wouldn't work unless it was ridiculous on its own.

00:13:35.560 You can't take something that makes sense and make a joke about it.

00:13:38.900 By the way, did you know that?

00:13:40.700 Did you know you can't make a joke about something that's just perfectly reasonable?

00:13:44.300 For example, my company decided to cut expenses because we were losing money.

00:13:55.480 What can I do with that?

00:13:57.720 Nothing.

00:13:59.140 There's no joke you can make about somebody who does the thing you're supposed to do.

00:14:02.980 So, the fact that it's in a Dilbert comic and we can all laugh at it and recognize it as funny.

00:14:08.900 And I didn't change it much.

00:14:10.640 Just that Dogenbert had to be re-educated.

00:14:13.340 The fact that they would re-educate anybody is so ridiculous

00:14:16.700 that it just stands on its own as, okay, that's just stupid.

00:14:23.820 All right, enough about that.

00:14:24.980 Do you think that there's a phone addiction that we have

00:14:31.620 and that the reason we check our phones so much is that the phones are really, really good?

00:14:37.480 Is that why we check them?

00:14:38.940 Because they're so addictive and they're good?

00:14:41.800 That's what we all think, right?

00:14:43.280 And it feels that way.

00:14:44.620 When I use my phone, it feels addictive.

00:14:47.260 So, it's perfectly reasonable to assume that's what's going on.

00:14:50.260 Let me throw out another possibility.

00:14:52.100 Have you ever been with somebody you really enjoyed being with

00:14:56.560 and then you noticed you hadn't looked at your phone in hours?

00:15:01.720 Has that ever happened to you?

00:15:03.880 If you're with people or even just one person

00:15:06.540 and you're really happy with what you're doing,

00:15:09.460 you don't even think about using your phone.

00:15:12.660 So, here's the provocative new theory.

00:15:16.600 Phones are not awesome.

00:15:18.500 They're not addictive.

00:15:20.540 People got worse.

00:15:22.100 People started sucking so badly

00:15:26.280 that spending time with them is just painful.

00:15:29.640 But my phone never disappoints me.

00:15:32.580 When was the last time you looked at your phone

00:15:34.100 and it did not give you a hit?

00:15:37.200 It's like my best dealer ever.

00:15:39.780 I'm like, I need a hit of some chemicals here.

00:15:43.720 Scroll, scroll, scroll.

00:15:44.900 Ah, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:45.620 Good.

00:15:46.060 Okay.

00:15:46.980 Scroll, scroll, scroll.

00:15:48.020 Ah, ha, ha, ha.

00:15:49.280 All right.

00:15:49.860 I'm happy now.

00:15:50.560 I've said this a lot,

00:15:54.640 but I think that our changing preferences

00:15:57.020 have made us all terrible to each other.

00:15:59.980 In the early days, nobody had much of an interest

00:16:04.380 outside of what they were doing, you know, locally.

00:16:07.900 So, you know, at the end of the day,

00:16:09.620 how are your crops?

00:16:11.640 Oh, my crops are good.

00:16:12.740 How are your crops?

00:16:13.680 I mean, we basically had common references

00:16:15.420 and, you know, people enjoyed each other

00:16:18.580 because that's what they had.

00:16:20.160 And now I think people are so picky about what they like

00:16:26.260 and don't like, you put any two together

00:16:28.760 and there's so much they disagree on

00:16:31.040 because there's so much they think about

00:16:33.400 and there's so many different ways to look at everything

00:16:36.120 that we end up being like two porcupines who can't hug.

00:16:40.540 You know, it's like, although I guess porcupines do reproduce.

00:16:44.540 You ever wonder how porcupines reproduce?

00:16:49.680 Let me turn it into a joke.

00:16:51.560 It's already a joke.

00:16:52.480 I'm stealing this joke.

00:16:54.280 How do...

00:16:54.760 Yeah, all right, you've already heard the joke.

00:16:57.000 How do porcupines reproduce? 0.94

00:16:59.200 Very carefully.

00:17:00.460 Very carefully.

00:17:02.260 All right.

00:17:04.440 Just putting that out there.

00:17:06.000 Were you aware that the biggest cause of depression

00:17:08.920 and suicide among the youth is lack of sleep?

00:17:14.540 Did you know that?

00:17:16.360 I heard this as a data,

00:17:18.640 that if you look at lack of sleep,

00:17:21.320 it tracks directly to depression and suicide.

00:17:24.720 Not too surprising, right?

00:17:27.680 So lack of sleep is the number one cause

00:17:30.760 of suicide and depression.

00:17:34.160 What causes lack of sleep in 2023?

00:17:37.280 Only the phone and, you know, screens.

00:17:40.440 Just screens.

00:17:41.080 So, I'm going to go all the way here.

00:17:47.240 I think social media should be illegal for minors.

00:17:51.600 American social media and TikTok and everything else.

00:17:56.200 Now, TikTok should be banned in America.

00:17:58.600 But the other ones, you know, they're American companies

00:18:00.740 and I think they should stay for adults.

00:18:03.120 But I think that minors should not have access

00:18:04.980 to social media after 9 p.m.

00:18:08.840 What do you say?

00:18:10.020 After 9 p.m., no access to social media.

00:18:13.660 But my first choice is to ban it completely for young people.

00:18:17.240 I don't think young people should have access 1.00

00:18:18.720 to any social media.

00:18:21.200 It's not like we don't know that it's dangerous.

00:18:25.060 Let me ask you this.

00:18:26.140 Let's say Big Pharma came up with an idea.

00:18:31.860 And the idea was they were going to have you look at screens every night

00:18:36.420 and you could do it as long as you want.

00:18:38.400 You could stay up all night if you want.

00:18:40.360 And then they do a study.

00:18:41.440 This is Big Pharma, right?

00:18:42.580 Just a hypothetical.

00:18:43.920 And they do the randomized control trial.

00:18:46.280 And they find out that the people who use their screens at night

00:18:48.980 lose sleep and end up being depressed and suicidal.

00:18:52.300 The people who do not use the screens have just normal lives

00:18:57.160 and they're better.

00:18:59.140 So would the government approve that product from Big Pharma?

00:19:04.900 If social media had been tested in a randomized control trial

00:19:08.760 before anybody had access to it,

00:19:11.220 and of course you can't do it,

00:19:13.080 would it be illegal?

00:19:15.000 I don't think so.

00:19:17.080 No.

00:19:17.540 I think the health impact, especially on children,

00:19:20.720 I think the health impact of social media

00:19:23.180 would have made it banned if it had been a drug. 0.69

00:19:27.360 And the reason that we don't call social media a drug

00:19:30.080 is because we're stupid bucket people. 0.79

00:19:34.940 Humans are stupid bucket people.

00:19:37.280 Everything has to be in a bucket.

00:19:39.120 What are you, conservative?

00:19:40.520 Are you conservative or a liberal?

00:19:42.820 Let me get my bucket.

00:19:44.480 Oh, you're in between?

00:19:45.700 No, you can't be in between.

00:19:47.720 Nobody's in between.

00:19:49.560 Get in your bucket.

00:19:51.520 Right?

00:19:51.960 So as soon as you say that drugs are a pill or an injection,

00:19:58.400 then you say, okay, that's drugs.

00:20:01.180 We'll treat drugs this way.

00:20:02.980 We've got all these rules for what a drug is.

00:20:05.580 And then somebody invents social media,

00:20:07.460 which is clearly a drug.

00:20:10.400 Right?

00:20:10.820 I won't even listen to an argument on this point.

00:20:13.960 Social media is a drug

00:20:15.280 that's just administered in a different way.

00:20:18.020 Instead of a needle or a pill that just goes in through your eyes as images.

00:20:24.280 But it's absolutely a drug.

00:20:26.360 And the fact that we don't treat it the way we treat the things that we test and do randomized control trials

00:20:33.480 has nothing to do with whether we should or whether it makes sense.

00:20:38.320 It has nothing to do with the logic, the reasoning, the priorities.

00:20:42.160 Nothing to do with that.

00:20:43.360 It has only to do with the fact that we reflexively put things in buckets

00:20:47.680 and our medical bucket just doesn't have screens in it.

00:20:52.740 And that's it.

00:20:53.900 We put screens in the entertainment bucket

00:20:55.840 when it should have been in the medical bucket.

00:21:00.800 There's not one person arguing the point.

00:21:03.480 There's not a single person here who will argue that point.

00:21:06.460 It's a digital narcotic.

00:21:09.180 Right?

00:21:09.420 You tell me.

00:21:12.180 If we had considered social media a drug,

00:21:15.780 it would not pass government approval.

00:21:19.480 It wouldn't even come close.

00:21:21.440 Not even close.

00:21:26.060 I've heard more people...

00:21:27.420 I heard Bill Maher say the other day

00:21:29.660 that he can't watch a movie anymore

00:21:31.860 because they're too long and boring

00:21:33.940 compared to the quick hit of social media.

00:21:35.800 I don't know if he was talking about other people

00:21:38.500 or about himself, but he made the point.

00:21:41.040 Now, who was the first person you heard say that?

00:21:44.560 I think I'm the first person you've ever heard say that,

00:21:47.600 that movies are dead.

00:21:50.060 You'll never be able to watch a movie again

00:21:51.880 unless you're with somebody

00:21:53.520 and it's more about being with the person.

00:21:56.180 Yeah.

00:21:57.360 Yeah.

00:21:58.280 Yeah.

00:21:59.960 So I was ahead of the curve on that, I guess.

00:22:02.360 So U.S. News,

00:22:07.620 the periodical, the publication, U.S. News,

00:22:11.440 every year they do a ranking of colleges and schools.

00:22:15.360 I guess they do graduate schools

00:22:16.860 and medical schools and stuff like that.

00:22:19.560 And they're having trouble ranking medical schools

00:22:22.600 because some of the medical schools

00:22:25.400 are resisting being ranked on their usual standards.

00:22:30.740 And they say that they won't even contribute information

00:22:34.780 to the rankings

00:22:35.580 unless their diversity and equity successes

00:22:40.000 are included in their ranking.

00:22:43.160 What do you think of that?

00:22:45.500 Would you like colleges to be ranked in part

00:22:49.660 the quality of the school,

00:22:52.080 the quality of the school,

00:22:53.220 not just the fairness,

00:22:54.760 but the quality of the education?

00:22:56.860 That's what's being ranked.

00:22:57.700 Not fairness,

00:22:59.620 but the quality of the education.

00:23:01.660 And they're saying that the quality of the education

00:23:03.780 is better

00:23:04.580 when you've got more diversity

00:23:06.660 and equity and inclusion.

00:23:09.680 What do you think of that?

00:23:11.640 Do you think you can get a better education

00:23:13.180 if there's more diversity?

00:23:20.620 You're all racist.

00:23:22.560 You totally get a better education

00:23:24.360 if there's more diversity.

00:23:25.400 You're all frickin' racists.

00:23:28.320 And I mean that literally.

00:23:31.020 I'm sorry.

00:23:32.020 I just have to say that to your screened faces.

00:23:35.340 No.

00:23:36.160 If the only variable that's different,

00:23:38.440 if the only variable that's different is diversity,

00:23:41.760 it's all positive.

00:23:46.320 Do you disagree?

00:23:47.440 Because the diversity does give you more access

00:23:51.800 to more points of view.

00:23:54.140 So if everybody's equally qualified,

00:23:56.820 that's a benefit.

00:23:59.900 Really, you don't think that's a benefit?

00:24:02.480 If everybody's the same qualifications, 0.93

00:24:04.500 you don't think diversity gives you more points of view,

00:24:07.120 more access,

00:24:08.100 more windows to look through,

00:24:10.100 you know,

00:24:10.320 more understanding,

00:24:12.820 better bedside manner, perhaps,

00:24:15.240 because you understand people better.

00:24:17.860 No, it's unambiguously good.

00:24:20.940 All right.

00:24:21.480 Well, you could argue that point.

00:24:23.120 But here's my point.

00:24:24.940 If the way they get there

00:24:26.340 is sacrificing merit,

00:24:29.020 then does anybody think that's good?

00:24:32.500 If you were to deprioritize merit

00:24:36.740 to get more equity and more diversity,

00:24:40.300 is that still good?

00:24:43.200 Well, you know,

00:24:44.340 there's a crossover point, right?

00:24:46.660 So you're getting something from diversity,

00:24:48.980 and I'll argue that to the death,

00:24:52.020 simply because I've been in those environments.

00:24:55.660 Whenever I'm in an environment

00:24:56.760 where there's more diversity,

00:24:58.220 I'm absolutely picking up more understanding.

00:25:01.280 There's just no way to argue that.

00:25:03.740 You can't argue that.

00:25:06.240 But if you give up merit,

00:25:08.800 here's what I think we need to do.

00:25:11.700 I think I would like to know

00:25:13.040 if my doctor got one of those equity degrees

00:25:18.080 or one of those merit degrees.

00:25:20.620 Don't you think we should make a difference?

00:25:22.900 Wouldn't you like to know?

00:25:24.260 Oh, doctor, I see you have a degree.

00:25:26.340 Did you get one of the equity types

00:25:27.820 or one of the merit types?

00:25:30.860 Now, this will never happen, of course.

00:25:33.500 But there are so many things

00:25:34.740 that could be solved by truth and labeling, right?

00:25:38.460 If the only thing I'm asking for

00:25:40.040 is truth and labeling,

00:25:42.160 why would that be a problem?

00:25:43.560 Let the free market decide.

00:25:46.340 If they think that somebody

00:25:47.640 who went to a sort of equity-priority school

00:25:50.920 got more out of the equity and the diversity,

00:25:54.640 because there is a lot to get there,

00:25:56.580 then they gave up on maybe a little bit,

00:25:59.200 you know, in the rankings or the academics.

00:26:01.880 Yeah, maybe it's not that big a deal.

00:26:03.700 You know, maybe it's a small tweak

00:26:05.340 to the merit to get a lot more diversity.

00:26:10.220 You can make that argument.

00:26:13.420 But I would certainly like, as a consumer,

00:26:15.520 to know the difference.

00:26:17.840 I want to know,

00:26:19.220 was equity and diversity a big deal

00:26:21.780 at the school you went to?

00:26:23.800 And did that have anything to do

00:26:25.340 with the fact that you made it through?

00:26:27.420 Or was it merit only?

00:26:30.880 So today I have a doctor who is a woman, 0.99

00:26:35.520 and she's brown of some type.

00:26:39.500 I've never asked.

00:26:41.200 All right, so she's a person of color,

00:26:43.120 some kind of brown, whatever,

00:26:45.480 and she's a woman.

00:26:48.500 I have never once thought that she was there

00:26:52.460 for any reason other than merit.

00:26:55.220 Never even occurred to me.

00:26:57.260 Never once in my mind did I say,

00:27:00.120 ooh, I wonder if she only got through medical school

00:27:03.020 because of, you know, her... 0.97

00:27:05.620 Never once.

00:27:06.860 Never thought.

00:27:07.360 And she's a great doctor.

00:27:08.340 I like her a lot.

00:27:10.660 But what happens in five years

00:27:12.600 if the doctor's coming out

00:27:14.180 or coming out of, you know,

00:27:15.620 equity, priority college?

00:27:18.080 I'd kind of want to know.

00:27:20.080 I mean, I might not make a different decision.

00:27:22.500 I might make the same decision.

00:27:24.460 I'd kind of like to know.

00:27:25.660 A little truth in labeling would be nice.

00:27:27.200 Speaking of Dr. Jordan Peterson,

00:27:33.760 he is creating an alternative

00:27:35.840 World Economic Forum.

00:27:39.300 And I guess it would be

00:27:40.640 pro-energy that's cheap

00:27:44.640 so that poor people can have access to the energy

00:27:47.080 and pro-families and monogamy.

00:27:51.380 Now, here's my big problem

00:27:53.060 with Dr. Peterson's philosophies of life.

00:27:58.640 He's big on family and monogamy.

00:28:04.340 And I absolutely agree with him

00:28:08.800 that that is the best system

00:28:11.160 for a stable world.

00:28:14.160 But only maybe for 25% of people,

00:28:16.800 and that's the problem.

00:28:18.140 In the old days,

00:28:19.020 maybe it was better for a higher percentage.

00:28:21.280 I don't think,

00:28:22.880 I really don't think

00:28:23.720 more than 25% of the public

00:28:25.380 is going to make a marriage work. 0.76

00:28:27.940 For the rest,

00:28:28.540 it's probably a bad idea.

00:28:30.020 And I don't know what to do about that.

00:28:32.040 It could be that his approach is the best,

00:28:34.460 which is if you don't push as hard as possible

00:28:36.920 and the thing you know works,

00:28:39.460 you're in trouble.

00:28:41.180 Yeah, I get that point.

00:28:42.360 That makes sense.

00:28:43.080 And I do agree

00:28:43.820 that if you get the right two people

00:28:46.140 and you put them in a monogamous marriage,

00:28:48.460 it is the best.

00:28:49.080 I think that that's just sort of obviously true.

00:28:53.560 You know, you can see it in a lot of ways.

00:28:56.940 But let me ask you this question.

00:28:59.560 I'm going to put on my skeptic hat for a moment.

00:29:03.280 Do we all agree that single moms 1.00

00:29:06.100 produce children who have the most criminal records?

00:29:11.520 Would you agree?

00:29:13.240 That correlation seems to be really clean.

00:29:16.380 You don't agree?

00:29:19.920 I'm not saying it's causation.

00:29:21.580 I'm saying the correlation.

00:29:23.880 Would it be easier if I just say correlation?

00:29:27.380 Because the causation is what I'm going to question next.

00:29:30.440 All right, so here's my question.

00:29:33.480 Is it also true of college-educated single moms? 0.99

00:29:37.740 In other words, if you looked at only the single moms 0.99

00:29:41.120 who went to Ivy League colleges

00:29:42.920 and have high incomes,

00:29:45.720 they have high incomes,

00:29:48.200 are their children also more likely to be criminals

00:29:50.340 compared to the average?

00:29:57.940 You think yes?

00:29:58.640 I would make a really, really large bet

00:30:02.760 that they have a low criminal record.

00:30:06.520 I would make a really, really big bet on that.

00:30:09.640 You really think it's going to be the same?

00:30:11.920 So to me, that looks like brainwashing.

00:30:16.380 But I'll allow that you could be right,

00:30:18.360 since I don't have the data.

00:30:19.680 I will allow that you could be right.

00:30:21.820 On the surface, it looks like brainwashing.

00:30:23.740 Because if you think that in all situations

00:30:26.500 simply having one parent

00:30:29.100 is worse than all situations with two,

00:30:32.680 that's not really rational thinking.

00:30:35.940 But if you believe there's a strong correlation

00:30:38.060 when you look at the whole thing,

00:30:39.860 probably yes.

00:30:41.180 I think it's been studied a lot.

00:30:43.180 But here's the thing.

00:30:45.000 There is a lot more going on

00:30:46.900 with those single mothers 0.97

00:30:47.880 than just the fact that they're single mothers. 0.98

00:30:51.380 Whatever it is that made a man

00:30:53.220 not want to be with them.

00:30:55.680 Do I need to finish the sentence?

00:30:59.120 Right.

00:30:59.800 Now, when I talk about the Ivy League woman 1.00

00:31:03.380 who chooses to be a single mother,

00:31:06.340 that's a choice.

00:31:09.540 That's somebody who says,

00:31:10.640 oh, I can handle this.

00:31:11.940 I think I'll choose to be a single mother.

00:31:14.780 Do you think that's the same

00:31:15.980 as somebody who couldn't get a man

00:31:17.800 to live with her even if she tried?

00:31:19.680 There's no way those are the same.

00:31:24.120 There's no way.

00:31:26.260 And what about the man who left?

00:31:29.580 If that woman had stayed with the man who left,

00:31:33.480 they would be happy?

00:31:35.060 And the child would do well?

00:31:37.280 Because there's got to be something

00:31:38.500 about the man who leaves

00:31:39.860 and doesn't take responsibility

00:31:41.880 that suggests that if he had stayed,

00:31:44.460 it would have been pretty bad.

00:31:45.480 because he doesn't take responsibility

00:31:48.640 and obviously was not in love with the woman.

00:31:53.560 So I think our thinking about single parenting

00:31:56.980 is completely mixed up

00:32:01.260 with too many other variables.

00:32:03.540 And if the only thing you're seeing

00:32:04.920 is the single part,

00:32:06.660 you're missing the biggest part of the picture.

00:32:09.340 I think.

00:32:10.060 So I think we're completely misled

00:32:13.140 about what's going on there.

00:32:14.940 I think there's a certain type of person

00:32:16.700 who's more likely to be a single mom 1.00

00:32:19.560 and that that person

00:32:21.160 who's more likely to be a single mom 1.00

00:32:22.980 is unlikely to have an Ivy League degree.

00:32:28.200 Right?

00:32:28.740 They are likely

00:32:29.700 to have a bunch of other characteristics

00:32:33.460 in common with other single women.

00:32:36.120 And I think it's those other characteristics

00:32:39.380 that are probably driving things.

00:32:41.720 Now, that said,

00:32:43.520 the best way to raise a kid,

00:32:45.620 I'm sure,

00:32:47.180 is a mother and a father.

00:32:49.740 I'm not sure the gender thing

00:32:51.060 is so important.

00:32:52.620 But, you know,

00:32:53.400 a two-parent situation

00:32:54.440 because two is better than one.

00:32:56.880 Having two people take care of you

00:32:58.500 that are adults

00:32:59.180 and love you,

00:33:00.840 well, it's got to be better than one

00:33:02.140 if they're both functional.

00:33:03.840 But I think we need to look

00:33:07.300 at that a little bit deeper.

00:33:08.480 It's too simplistic,

00:33:09.920 you know,

00:33:10.480 married versus unmarried.

00:33:15.560 Rasmussen has a poll.

00:33:17.700 It says 48% of the,

00:33:19.460 these are usually likely voters they poll,

00:33:21.860 48% say Biden's handling

00:33:23.780 of classified documents

00:33:24.860 is a, quote,

00:33:25.840 major scandal.

00:33:29.760 What,

00:33:30.940 I'll just give you a little quiz.

00:33:32.960 Now, for those who are in YouTube,

00:33:34.740 if you're new to me,

00:33:36.200 I've developed

00:33:37.180 the smartest

00:33:38.380 livestream audience

00:33:40.740 in the world.

00:33:42.720 And I'm going to prove it again.

00:33:44.600 Not only do they know

00:33:45.860 based on what's happening,

00:33:47.720 and they're smart about that,

00:33:49.400 they can actually

00:33:50.340 see into the future

00:33:52.440 and see data that

00:33:53.580 hasn't even been presented to them.

00:33:56.980 So I'm going to ask this question

00:33:58.540 and watch how cleverly

00:33:59.940 they get the right answer.

00:34:00.780 They've never seen

00:34:02.300 this information before.

00:34:03.560 They've never seen this before.

00:34:05.060 Watch this.

00:34:07.480 What percentage do you think

00:34:08.800 after the Rasmussen polled them,

00:34:10.980 what percentage of American voters,

00:34:13.140 likely voters,

00:34:14.060 do you think

00:34:14.560 say that Biden's

00:34:16.360 classified document situation

00:34:18.740 is no scandal at all?

00:34:20.760 No scandal at all.

00:34:22.960 You did it again.

00:34:25.120 Amazing.

00:34:26.640 It's 24.

00:34:28.540 It's 24.

00:34:29.420 But, you know,

00:34:30.040 those of you who guessed 25,

00:34:31.880 that was really good.

00:34:34.400 You know,

00:34:34.760 you just keep impressing me.

00:34:36.460 Keep impressing me.

00:34:37.420 I don't know how you do it.

00:34:40.240 But 60% of voters

00:34:42.600 believe it's likely

00:34:43.700 the information

00:34:44.300 from the classified documents

00:34:45.640 was used by Hunter Biden

00:34:47.640 in his foreign business deals.

00:34:49.200 How in the world

00:34:53.560 can Joe Biden

00:34:55.220 win the presidency?

00:34:57.900 How in the world?

00:34:59.360 60%

00:35:00.140 believe that he

00:35:01.740 and his son,

00:35:02.600 and I'm going to add that,

00:35:04.060 you know,

00:35:04.800 they must think

00:35:05.460 they're working as a team.

00:35:07.300 60% of voters

00:35:08.700 think that they're

00:35:09.260 selling classified information

00:35:10.720 or it's likely

00:35:11.920 that they're selling

00:35:13.120 classified information

00:35:14.100 to foreign

00:35:14.660 entities.

00:35:16.200 Isn't it over?

00:35:23.260 How does Trump

00:35:24.200 not become president?

00:35:26.520 You know,

00:35:26.980 you're seeing a lot

00:35:27.840 of Trump criticism.

00:35:29.340 A lot of it comes from me,

00:35:30.660 and I think it's deserved,

00:35:31.740 actually.

00:35:32.960 But

00:35:33.320 he still has to run

00:35:35.420 against someone,

00:35:36.620 and I think

00:35:38.960 it's going to be Biden.

00:35:40.980 It looks like

00:35:41.780 it's going to be Biden.

00:35:42.560 How does Trump lose?

00:35:47.940 Like how?

00:35:48.920 The only way this goes

00:35:50.700 is a rigged election.

00:35:53.780 Am I wrong?

00:35:55.500 I don't see anything else

00:35:57.180 that can happen

00:35:57.760 except a massively

00:35:58.740 rigged election.

00:35:59.940 Because there's no way

00:36:00.720 that the powers that be

00:36:02.180 are going to let

00:36:02.680 Trump win again.

00:36:04.440 I mean,

00:36:04.780 without at least

00:36:05.380 trying really hard

00:36:06.280 to influence it.

00:36:09.460 Now,

00:36:10.000 no matter what you say

00:36:10.840 about past elections,

00:36:12.100 I'll just let

00:36:13.180 past elections

00:36:14.000 go by as a

00:36:14.980 separate topic.

00:36:17.440 No matter what's

00:36:18.420 happened in the past,

00:36:19.540 they're going to have

00:36:20.200 to rig it this time.

00:36:21.760 They have to.

00:36:23.360 And you know what?

00:36:24.740 If the Republicans

00:36:25.540 lose a rigged election,

00:36:26.840 you know what I say?

00:36:28.980 Totally deserve it.

00:36:31.300 And I will welcome

00:36:32.680 our new Democrat president,

00:36:34.960 and I'll congratulate

00:36:35.780 him on the win.

00:36:37.060 Because if the Republicans

00:36:38.580 can't figure out

00:36:39.440 how to cheat better

00:36:40.320 or stop the cheating,

00:36:41.300 they're not very capable.

00:36:44.000 They're not very capable.

00:36:45.900 And they don't

00:36:46.580 deserve to win.

00:36:47.860 And I see no action

00:36:49.100 from the Republicans

00:36:49.920 to increase the transparency

00:36:52.340 of the elections

00:36:53.180 so that you know

00:36:54.920 if it was cheating.

00:36:56.700 At this point,

00:36:57.800 the Republicans

00:36:58.740 deserve to lose.

00:37:01.320 They're doing everything

00:37:02.360 in their power to lose.

00:37:03.740 The Republicans,

00:37:04.580 you know,

00:37:05.020 basically it doesn't even

00:37:06.540 look like they're trying,

00:37:07.840 honestly.

00:37:08.260 So there's a video

00:37:14.640 going around

00:37:15.260 that there was a presentation

00:37:16.900 at the World Economic Forum,

00:37:18.540 and everything sounds scarier

00:37:19.800 when it's at the World Economic Forum.

00:37:23.280 And this was extra scary.

00:37:25.160 So there is now technology

00:37:26.520 where you could put on

00:37:27.520 some kind of a wearable device

00:37:28.960 or a earbud

00:37:30.240 that would monitor

00:37:31.580 your brainwaves,

00:37:32.680 and the thinking

00:37:34.560 is that employers

00:37:35.500 will be able to know

00:37:37.240 if you're thinking

00:37:38.120 about work,

00:37:39.820 if you're actually working

00:37:41.540 and thinking about work,

00:37:43.600 or if your mind

00:37:44.640 has wandered

00:37:45.240 to your personal thoughts.

00:37:47.280 And they'll be able

00:37:47.900 to, like,

00:37:48.580 play back your brainwaves

00:37:49.860 after the fact

00:37:50.720 and say,

00:37:51.560 all right,

00:37:52.060 well,

00:37:52.260 at about 3 o'clock,

00:37:54.180 at 3 o'clock,

00:37:55.100 you were mostly

00:37:55.820 just daydreaming

00:37:56.740 about sex stuff,

00:37:58.600 I guess.

00:37:58.940 now add to that

00:38:03.740 that your employer

00:38:04.580 can check

00:38:05.200 your actual actions online,

00:38:07.600 they can check

00:38:08.360 your keystrokes,

00:38:09.780 and they might even know

00:38:10.640 where you are physically.

00:38:12.180 They might track

00:38:12.840 your location.

00:38:14.200 So your employer

00:38:14.920 will know

00:38:15.360 what you're thinking

00:38:16.160 and what you're doing

00:38:17.060 every minute of the day.

00:38:19.480 Roughly speaking,

00:38:20.320 they'll know.

00:38:22.760 So the thinking is

00:38:24.120 that we'll become

00:38:24.700 this mass dystopia

00:38:27.180 with people

00:38:29.020 just hooked

00:38:29.780 into the matrix

00:38:30.440 having to work

00:38:31.140 all the time

00:38:31.780 and all their happiness

00:38:32.580 and quality of life

00:38:34.460 will be destroyed

00:38:35.280 and it's all

00:38:35.900 the World Economic

00:38:36.680 Forum's problem

00:38:37.640 because they let

00:38:38.840 somebody give

00:38:39.320 a presentation

00:38:40.000 in which the person

00:38:40.860 who presented it

00:38:41.520 said,

00:38:42.180 don't assume

00:38:43.320 it'll be all bad.

00:38:47.560 It's pretty hard

00:38:48.420 to hear this

00:38:49.100 and then imagine

00:38:50.600 it could be good

00:38:51.420 in any way.

00:38:54.000 But,

00:38:54.620 let me give you

00:38:55.780 some context.

00:38:57.180 When I got out

00:38:58.260 of college,

00:38:59.020 I was looking

00:38:59.720 for a job

00:39:00.200 at a big bank.

00:39:01.860 I went to work

00:39:02.400 at what was

00:39:03.400 Crocker National Bank

00:39:04.600 at the time

00:39:05.140 before Wells Fargo

00:39:06.900 bought them.

00:39:08.440 And it was when

00:39:09.740 ATMs were just

00:39:11.240 being rolled down.

00:39:13.200 So ATMs were

00:39:14.120 sort of a new thing.

00:39:15.260 Not every bank

00:39:15.900 had one yet,

00:39:16.680 but Crocker

00:39:17.480 was ahead of the curve.

00:39:19.220 Do you know

00:39:19.480 what the biggest

00:39:20.220 debate was

00:39:22.820 about ATMs?

00:39:24.300 Do you know

00:39:24.540 what the biggest

00:39:25.020 controversy was?

00:39:27.180 this technology

00:39:29.820 will be out of control.

00:39:31.560 It's going to steal

00:39:32.480 my money.

00:39:33.640 And then when I complain,

00:39:34.720 nobody will listen

00:39:35.460 to me because

00:39:36.460 it's me against

00:39:37.120 the computer.

00:39:38.760 Right?

00:39:39.020 And all the old

00:39:39.580 people said,

00:39:40.340 you're going to

00:39:41.180 lose your humanity

00:39:42.100 because you don't

00:39:42.760 get to talk

00:39:43.260 to the teller.

00:39:44.640 You won't be able

00:39:45.540 to complain,

00:39:46.520 blah, blah.

00:39:46.960 Now,

00:39:47.520 did any of those

00:39:48.500 things happen?

00:39:50.100 A little bit,

00:39:51.520 but not really.

00:39:52.780 Not really.

00:39:54.000 Yeah,

00:39:54.180 I mean,

00:39:54.360 they happened,

00:39:55.260 but not to the point

00:39:56.260 where it made

00:39:56.700 any difference

00:39:57.220 to the growth

00:39:57.760 of ATMs.

00:39:59.160 Right?

00:39:59.780 By the way,

00:40:00.420 the rule in banks

00:40:01.860 at the time

00:40:03.480 was if you complained

00:40:04.460 about the ATM

00:40:05.160 stealing your money,

00:40:06.960 if they didn't see it

00:40:08.520 on video,

00:40:10.320 like if they didn't

00:40:11.000 have enough information,

00:40:12.780 they gave you

00:40:13.340 your money.

00:40:13.780 If they couldn't

00:40:15.340 prove it one way

00:40:16.120 or the other,

00:40:16.860 they actually just

00:40:17.660 gave you your money.

00:40:18.960 You know,

00:40:19.220 because usually

00:40:19.740 it was like 100 bucks,

00:40:20.820 right?

00:40:21.460 Somebody would say,

00:40:22.100 hey,

00:40:22.280 the ATM took my $100.

00:40:25.200 And if they couldn't tell,

00:40:27.580 they just gave you

00:40:28.200 the $100.

00:40:29.280 Because there was

00:40:29.640 nothing else they could do.

00:40:30.580 Otherwise,

00:40:31.160 they'd have to,

00:40:32.040 they'd have to just

00:40:33.000 get rid of ATMs.

00:40:34.140 Now,

00:40:34.380 eventually,

00:40:35.500 the ATM,

00:40:36.560 you know,

00:40:37.000 keeps track of what it gives,

00:40:38.320 but it also has a video.

00:40:40.240 And the video would,

00:40:41.840 you know,

00:40:42.060 pretty much prove

00:40:42.920 if it stole something

00:40:44.280 from you.

00:40:45.640 So,

00:40:46.120 whenever you see

00:40:46.720 a new technology

00:40:47.560 that looks like

00:40:48.220 it's going to end

00:40:48.980 all our quality of life,

00:40:51.000 we've been through

00:40:52.300 this cycle a lot.

00:40:54.920 Now,

00:40:55.460 I will agree

00:40:56.080 that this looks different.

00:40:58.760 AI doesn't look

00:40:59.620 like anything else.

00:41:01.220 So,

00:41:01.520 anything that

00:41:02.120 was in the past

00:41:03.400 that looked like

00:41:04.480 a pattern

00:41:04.920 probably will be

00:41:06.220 violated by AI.

00:41:08.020 But it's good to know

00:41:09.280 that we've been here before.

00:41:12.440 We're always worrying

00:41:13.580 about the next technology

00:41:14.860 will be the one

00:41:15.500 that ends us all.

00:41:16.360 And I have now

00:41:18.560 an out-of-pocket

00:41:21.160 prediction about AI.

00:41:24.440 You know how AI

00:41:25.760 was going to take

00:41:26.380 all of our

00:41:26.940 physical jobs first

00:41:28.920 because you could

00:41:29.660 build robots.

00:41:31.180 So,

00:41:31.420 the robots will take

00:41:32.260 the dangerous

00:41:33.240 physical jobs.

00:41:34.700 And then,

00:41:35.600 later,

00:41:36.220 the creative jobs,

00:41:37.720 you know,

00:41:38.440 those might

00:41:39.060 stay intact

00:41:40.780 because it would

00:41:41.540 take a long time

00:41:42.240 for AI to get there.

00:41:43.460 it's going to be

00:41:45.100 the opposite.

00:41:47.820 I think AI

00:41:48.820 will take

00:41:49.260 all the smart jobs,

00:41:51.960 coding,

00:41:54.040 psychology,

00:41:55.500 you know,

00:41:55.760 your therapist

00:41:56.320 will be AI.

00:42:00.200 Art,

00:42:01.500 you know,

00:42:01.700 all art,

00:42:02.360 humor,

00:42:03.700 entertainment

00:42:04.080 is all going

00:42:05.560 to be AI.

00:42:06.980 Do you know

00:42:07.320 what people will do?

00:42:09.940 Manual labor. 0.84

00:42:10.860 I think humans

00:42:13.080 will be moved

00:42:14.560 entirely to manual labor. 0.92

00:42:17.180 Do you know why?

00:42:18.700 Because it will be

00:42:19.100 cheaper than robots

00:42:19.980 for a long time.

00:42:21.860 That's all.

00:42:23.280 They'll just be

00:42:23.840 cheaper than robots.

00:42:25.140 I think the economics

00:42:26.320 will be that people

00:42:27.160 will be cheap

00:42:27.820 and robots

00:42:28.360 will be expensive.

00:42:29.540 So,

00:42:30.060 you use your

00:42:30.480 expensive robots

00:42:31.460 to be lawyers

00:42:32.260 and doctors.

00:42:33.860 And by the way,

00:42:34.860 AI has already

00:42:35.620 passed the bar

00:42:36.400 and AI has passed

00:42:38.280 what is the medical

00:42:40.680 licensing?

00:42:42.260 It's already

00:42:42.940 done that.

00:42:45.400 It's already

00:42:46.220 more educated

00:42:46.900 than you are

00:42:47.700 because it's got

00:42:49.140 two degrees,

00:42:50.240 you know,

00:42:50.380 even if you have one.

00:42:52.240 So,

00:42:52.740 yeah,

00:42:53.140 humans are going 1.00

00:42:53.760 to have to do

00:42:54.180 stuff like

00:42:54.680 crawl under

00:42:55.720 floors

00:42:58.740 to get to plumbing.

00:43:01.060 Humans are going

00:43:01.680 to be figuring out,

00:43:02.780 oh, wait,

00:43:03.840 you know,

00:43:04.080 just because the wires

00:43:04.860 don't touch,

00:43:05.600 there's also maybe

00:43:06.260 rats or there's

00:43:07.120 a human element.

00:43:08.520 Yeah,

00:43:09.000 people will just

00:43:09.680 be doing manual

00:43:10.480 labor.

00:43:12.320 Now,

00:43:12.780 here's the

00:43:13.080 interesting part.

00:43:15.200 Do you know

00:43:15.760 what makes

00:43:16.100 humans happy?

00:43:20.400 Doing manual

00:43:21.140 labor.

00:43:22.460 It turns out

00:43:23.280 it makes us

00:43:23.700 very happy.

00:43:25.200 Yeah,

00:43:25.680 as long as we're

00:43:26.380 not working

00:43:26.840 ourselves to death,

00:43:27.940 right?

00:43:28.200 You don't want

00:43:28.580 to be in a slave

00:43:29.220 camp,

00:43:29.640 you don't want

00:43:30.000 to be in,

00:43:30.980 you know,

00:43:31.640 the gulag.

00:43:32.720 But if you're

00:43:33.460 just keeping busy,

00:43:35.520 you know,

00:43:35.780 you're just moving,

00:43:36.700 you're doing

00:43:37.060 a thing,

00:43:37.660 you complete

00:43:38.140 a task,

00:43:39.100 you get a

00:43:39.460 dopamine for

00:43:40.100 completing a

00:43:40.700 task,

00:43:41.460 you're moving,

00:43:42.220 you're completing

00:43:42.700 tasks,

00:43:43.720 it's actually

00:43:44.260 really good for

00:43:44.960 us.

00:43:45.880 So we probably

00:43:46.780 will become

00:43:47.540 the manual

00:43:50.000 laborers and

00:43:50.800 the AI will do

00:43:51.700 all the thinking

00:43:52.200 for us.

00:43:53.640 That's my

00:43:54.280 prediction.

00:43:56.560 So,

00:43:57.180 you know,

00:43:58.560 what's really

00:43:59.060 puzzling,

00:44:01.040 even at this

00:44:01.660 late stage,

00:44:02.660 is we still

00:44:03.600 don't know why

00:44:04.200 Sweden did so

00:44:05.040 well in the

00:44:05.820 pandemic.

00:44:06.240 It's still

00:44:08.020 a mystery.

00:44:09.540 Now,

00:44:09.740 there are a

00:44:09.920 few things we

00:44:10.400 do know about

00:44:10.960 Sweden.

00:44:11.460 I found out

00:44:12.260 and confirmed

00:44:13.040 this this

00:44:13.540 morning,

00:44:14.180 that I saw

00:44:15.280 a list of

00:44:15.780 the fattest

00:44:16.560 countries and

00:44:17.360 the thinnest

00:44:17.800 countries.

00:44:18.620 America is

00:44:19.160 one of the

00:44:19.560 fattest

00:44:19.980 countries in

00:44:20.600 the world,

00:44:21.580 top three,

00:44:22.200 I think,

00:44:22.840 and Sweden

00:44:23.520 is one of

00:44:23.960 the thinnest,

00:44:25.380 one of the

00:44:25.980 thinnest.

00:44:27.960 So I can't

00:44:28.940 understand the

00:44:29.560 whole pandemic

00:44:31.220 situation.

00:44:31.820 Oh,

00:44:32.360 then also,

00:44:33.060 I found out

00:44:34.720 today that

00:44:35.200 Sweden is one

00:44:35.960 of the

00:44:36.180 youngest

00:44:36.480 countries.

00:44:38.140 It's one

00:44:38.360 of the

00:44:38.500 youngest.

00:44:39.460 America is

00:44:39.860 one of the

00:44:40.160 oldest.

00:44:41.240 I didn't

00:44:41.560 realize that.

00:44:42.840 So America

00:44:43.220 is old and

00:44:44.200 fat, and

00:44:44.940 it's one of

00:44:45.300 the oldest

00:44:45.820 and one of

00:44:46.320 the fattest

00:44:46.780 countries.

00:44:48.520 And Sweden

00:44:49.540 is unusually

00:44:51.240 young and

00:44:51.800 unusually thin.

00:44:54.280 But you

00:44:54.820 know,

00:44:54.960 the thing is,

00:44:55.320 I can't

00:44:55.700 figure out

00:44:56.200 how they

00:44:57.380 did so well

00:44:58.180 during the

00:44:58.800 pandemic.

00:44:59.300 That's still

00:44:59.600 sort of a

00:45:00.060 mystery.

00:45:00.640 Oh,

00:45:00.760 another thing

00:45:01.180 I found out

00:45:01.600 about Sweden

00:45:02.080 is that because

00:45:03.200 of where

00:45:03.760 they're located

00:45:04.440 on the

00:45:04.900 planet,

00:45:05.960 they routinely

00:45:07.520 supplement with

00:45:08.540 vitamin D.

00:45:10.020 I think they

00:45:10.680 take like fish

00:45:11.320 oil or something

00:45:11.980 that's nasty.

00:45:13.800 But they

00:45:15.900 have good

00:45:16.540 vitamin D.

00:45:18.120 They're thin

00:45:18.860 and they're

00:45:19.320 younger than

00:45:19.880 other countries

00:45:20.640 that did

00:45:21.020 poorly.

00:45:21.560 But if I

00:45:22.760 had to guess

00:45:23.520 why they did

00:45:24.240 well,

00:45:25.500 probably

00:45:26.080 ivermectin.

00:45:28.080 Probably

00:45:28.640 ivermectin,

00:45:29.320 I think.

00:45:30.060 Could have

00:45:31.080 been hydroxychloroquine.

00:45:33.400 Or it could

00:45:34.140 be because

00:45:34.580 they didn't

00:45:35.420 use masks

00:45:36.120 as much.

00:45:37.900 Could be

00:45:38.500 that.

00:45:41.020 But,

00:45:42.000 I don't

00:45:42.260 know,

00:45:42.460 I don't

00:45:42.700 understand how

00:45:43.360 just because

00:45:43.920 they're thinner

00:45:44.620 and younger

00:45:45.960 and they have

00:45:46.660 good vitamin D,

00:45:47.640 I don't see

00:45:48.060 how they do

00:45:48.740 well in the

00:45:49.360 pandemic.

00:45:49.840 Unless it

00:45:50.260 was ivermectin

00:45:50.960 or hydroxychloroquine

00:45:52.180 were part of

00:45:53.460 the story.

00:45:54.360 All right.

00:45:54.500 There are

00:45:55.920 two new

00:45:56.580 studies

00:45:57.100 about the

00:45:59.340 vaccinations

00:45:59.880 and about

00:46:00.420 COVID

00:46:00.780 and both

00:46:01.820 of them

00:46:02.100 are total

00:46:02.740 BS.

00:46:04.920 You want to

00:46:05.620 hear this

00:46:06.020 BS?

00:46:06.420 I'll tell

00:46:08.600 you,

00:46:08.980 I think

00:46:09.940 we can

00:46:10.220 agree that

00:46:10.760 all the

00:46:11.140 data about

00:46:11.980 the pandemic

00:46:12.520 is sketchy.

00:46:14.160 It doesn't

00:46:14.500 matter where

00:46:14.840 it comes

00:46:15.160 from,

00:46:15.420 it's all

00:46:15.680 sketchy.

00:46:16.760 But this

00:46:17.380 is the

00:46:17.920 craziest

00:46:18.280 thing you've

00:46:18.920 heard yet.

00:46:20.200 Are you ready

00:46:20.520 for this?

00:46:20.900 Now, of

00:46:22.060 course,

00:46:22.380 these are

00:46:23.080 preprints

00:46:23.700 and who

00:46:24.860 knows if

00:46:25.380 they could

00:46:25.600 be repeated

00:46:26.120 or anything.

00:46:26.900 There are

00:46:27.440 two recent

00:46:27.920 studies,

00:46:28.460 one out of

00:46:28.840 Denmark,

00:46:29.440 one out of

00:46:29.800 somewhere else,

00:46:30.860 that said

00:46:31.340 that if

00:46:31.700 you're over

00:46:32.020 50,

00:46:33.920 you actually

00:46:35.480 did better

00:46:36.240 if you got

00:46:38.200 the vaccination

00:46:38.880 than if you

00:46:39.540 didn't.

00:46:40.880 Now,

00:46:41.900 here's how

00:46:42.700 we analyze

00:46:43.500 that.

00:46:45.200 We'll start

00:46:45.860 with what we

00:46:46.400 know for

00:46:46.840 sure,

00:46:47.260 okay?

00:46:47.640 And then

00:46:47.920 this is how

00:46:49.040 you reason.

00:46:49.460 You start

00:46:49.780 with what

00:46:50.080 you know,

00:46:50.900 and then

00:46:51.500 you reason

00:46:51.940 toward the

00:46:52.400 things that

00:46:52.900 you're trying

00:46:53.180 to figure

00:46:53.460 out.

00:46:54.200 What we

00:46:54.660 know is

00:46:56.000 that I

00:46:56.320 got everything

00:46:57.020 wrong about

00:46:57.940 my decisions

00:46:58.620 about the

00:46:59.140 pandemic.

00:47:00.380 So you

00:47:00.680 start with

00:47:01.080 that as

00:47:01.380 your fact,

00:47:02.160 and then

00:47:02.940 we can

00:47:03.280 reason

00:47:03.560 backwards

00:47:04.000 to conclude

00:47:05.780 that both

00:47:06.240 of these

00:47:06.540 studies are

00:47:07.060 BS.

00:47:09.180 Because if

00:47:09.800 I know I

00:47:10.280 got the

00:47:10.620 wrong answer,

00:47:12.200 it can't

00:47:13.360 be true that

00:47:13.840 these studies

00:47:14.360 are true,

00:47:14.880 because that

00:47:15.240 would sort

00:47:16.000 of suggest

00:47:16.460 I made

00:47:17.120 a good

00:47:17.360 decision.

00:47:18.180 And since

00:47:18.540 we know

00:47:18.840 that's not

00:47:19.240 the case,

00:47:19.760 we start

00:47:20.800 with what

00:47:21.120 we know,

00:47:21.600 take the

00:47:21.960 L,

00:47:22.360 I take

00:47:22.740 the L,

00:47:23.840 L,

00:47:24.680 taking the

00:47:25.160 L,

00:47:26.140 clotting and

00:47:26.680 coping.

00:47:27.400 So we

00:47:27.720 know that's

00:47:28.160 true,

00:47:28.840 so then we

00:47:29.400 can reason

00:47:30.220 backwards that

00:47:31.300 the studies

00:47:32.120 are BS.

00:47:32.620 so I

00:47:34.020 reject them

00:47:34.720 completely

00:47:35.420 for the

00:47:37.020 BS that

00:47:37.520 they are.

00:47:40.400 By the

00:47:40.920 way,

00:47:41.200 how many

00:47:41.560 of you

00:47:41.820 understand

00:47:42.560 that I'm

00:47:44.380 accepting that

00:47:45.200 I live in a

00:47:45.800 simulation,

00:47:47.220 and that

00:47:47.700 your reality

00:47:48.460 can actually

00:47:49.260 be real,

00:47:50.760 as real as

00:47:51.340 anything,

00:47:51.820 because we're a

00:47:52.300 simulation,

00:47:53.220 and mine can

00:47:54.080 be real and

00:47:54.720 opposite,

00:47:55.940 and there's

00:47:56.640 no conflict.

00:47:58.160 There's no

00:47:58.820 conflict if I

00:47:59.660 live in a

00:48:00.040 world in

00:48:00.480 which everything's

00:48:01.220 different than

00:48:01.720 everything for

00:48:02.520 you,

00:48:03.120 as long as

00:48:03.980 it doesn't

00:48:04.340 conflict,

00:48:05.700 as long as

00:48:06.400 we can both

00:48:06.880 reproduce,

00:48:08.160 those two

00:48:08.900 worlds can

00:48:09.440 live as

00:48:10.000 completely

00:48:10.460 true,

00:48:11.540 as true as

00:48:12.100 anything else.

00:48:13.040 No less

00:48:13.520 true,

00:48:13.840 no more

00:48:14.140 true.

00:48:19.680 Have you

00:48:20.340 yet watched

00:48:21.000 Brett and

00:48:21.540 Heather? 0.99

00:48:22.260 Well,

00:48:23.440 here's something

00:48:24.060 I learned

00:48:24.580 that other

00:48:26.160 people can do

00:48:26.800 that I can't.

00:48:29.080 Suppose,

00:48:30.920 and let's

00:48:31.360 take as our

00:48:32.600 starting points,

00:48:33.360 again, we'll

00:48:33.780 use the same

00:48:34.260 technique.

00:48:35.100 Since we

00:48:35.500 know that

00:48:36.260 Heather and

00:48:38.440 Brett were

00:48:40.280 correct about

00:48:41.340 the pandemic,

00:48:43.300 so we'll start

00:48:44.100 with the fact

00:48:44.560 that they're

00:48:44.880 correct,

00:48:45.920 then how

00:48:47.740 did you know?

00:48:49.680 How did you

00:48:50.340 know they were

00:48:50.780 correct?

00:48:51.760 Because I'm

00:48:52.340 going to accept

00:48:52.880 as a fact that

00:48:53.720 they were

00:48:53.980 correct,

00:48:54.880 because they

00:48:55.560 have skills.

00:48:57.480 Now, they have

00:48:58.000 skills that I

00:48:58.820 don't have,

00:48:59.300 so I can't

00:49:00.440 do what they

00:49:00.900 do, right?

00:49:02.160 I could not

00:49:02.740 look at data

00:49:03.560 and science

00:49:04.440 at the level

00:49:05.640 that they could

00:49:06.120 look at,

00:49:06.560 and I wouldn't

00:49:06.920 understand it.

00:49:08.060 But apparently

00:49:08.740 they can.

00:49:09.700 But my question

00:49:10.540 is, how did

00:49:11.340 you know that

00:49:11.980 they could,

00:49:13.920 and all the

00:49:14.500 people who

00:49:14.880 don't have

00:49:15.300 podcasts could

00:49:16.240 not?

00:49:17.440 Like, what was

00:49:18.060 it that said

00:49:18.620 to you,

00:49:19.260 the people who

00:49:20.940 are good at

00:49:21.780 this, but

00:49:23.260 also have a

00:49:23.980 podcast,

00:49:25.300 have one point

00:49:27.040 of view,

00:49:27.480 and the

00:49:27.760 people who

00:49:28.280 are, I

00:49:29.020 thought were

00:49:29.520 good at it,

00:49:30.120 but for

00:49:30.480 whatever reason

00:49:31.000 don't have a

00:49:31.620 podcast,

00:49:32.560 are all getting

00:49:33.020 the wrong

00:49:33.380 answers.

00:49:34.340 So, was it

00:49:35.340 the fact that

00:49:35.900 they have a

00:49:36.480 podcast that

00:49:37.840 made you think

00:49:38.640 that they're so

00:49:39.800 good you could

00:49:40.360 just take their

00:49:40.900 point of view?

00:49:42.320 Because I

00:49:42.880 looked at them

00:49:43.340 and I thought

00:49:43.700 to myself,

00:49:44.900 huh, I'm not

00:49:46.000 sure the podcast

00:49:46.760 part is actually

00:49:48.760 telling me as

00:49:49.400 much as it

00:49:49.880 should.

00:49:50.760 In fact,

00:49:51.380 when I

00:49:51.640 analyzed the,

00:49:52.460 when I

00:49:54.040 analyzed the

00:49:55.020 big pharma,

00:49:57.560 I thought,

00:49:58.180 hey, they're

00:49:58.500 making money

00:49:59.000 on these

00:49:59.380 drugs.

00:50:00.640 Are they

00:50:01.280 completely

00:50:01.740 unbiased?

00:50:02.400 And I said,

00:50:02.860 no.

00:50:03.780 If they're

00:50:04.140 making money

00:50:04.860 on a

00:50:06.840 particular point

00:50:07.520 of view,

00:50:07.880 you can't

00:50:08.300 trust the

00:50:08.680 point of

00:50:08.960 view.

00:50:09.540 Am I

00:50:09.880 right?

00:50:10.960 And then I

00:50:11.940 unwisely

00:50:12.600 thought,

00:50:12.980 well, hey,

00:50:14.140 a lot of

00:50:14.600 these people

00:50:15.120 who have,

00:50:15.720 let's say,

00:50:16.500 different views

00:50:17.320 have podcasts

00:50:18.980 and books,

00:50:19.940 and it

00:50:20.500 appears that

00:50:20.940 they're

00:50:21.120 monetizing

00:50:21.740 their point

00:50:22.200 of view,

00:50:23.340 much like

00:50:24.080 the people

00:50:24.440 that are

00:50:24.640 criticizing.

00:50:26.040 Now,

00:50:26.980 you,

00:50:27.800 most of

00:50:28.720 you,

00:50:29.480 could look

00:50:29.920 at that

00:50:30.200 situation

00:50:30.680 and say,

00:50:31.280 okay,

00:50:31.520 the podcast

00:50:32.120 part doesn't

00:50:32.820 count,

00:50:33.580 they're just

00:50:34.160 really good

00:50:34.620 at looking

00:50:34.940 at stuff,

00:50:35.420 and you

00:50:35.740 can tell

00:50:36.100 they're good

00:50:36.440 at looking

00:50:36.820 at stuff,

00:50:39.100 but how

00:50:39.560 did you

00:50:39.780 do that?

00:50:40.980 Because that's

00:50:41.580 the part I

00:50:41.980 can't do.

00:50:43.260 To me,

00:50:43.900 I just saw

00:50:44.420 people had

00:50:44.920 different opinions

00:50:45.580 and I

00:50:45.940 couldn't

00:50:47.540 adjudicate

00:50:48.620 any of them

00:50:49.220 because I

00:50:50.000 don't have

00:50:50.300 the skills

00:50:50.680 they had.

00:50:51.160 If I

00:50:51.800 had the

00:50:52.040 skills they

00:50:52.480 had,

00:50:52.820 I wouldn't

00:50:53.100 need to

00:50:53.400 look at

00:50:53.660 their opinion.

00:50:55.280 Right?

00:50:56.340 If I

00:50:56.960 could judge

00:50:57.580 whether

00:50:57.860 Brett and

00:50:58.420 Heather

00:50:59.580 were correct,

00:51:01.840 if I

00:51:02.480 could judge

00:51:02.960 that,

00:51:04.300 it would

00:51:04.960 mean I

00:51:05.340 had their

00:51:05.740 skills.

00:51:07.400 Wouldn't

00:51:07.860 it?

00:51:08.880 I would

00:51:09.460 have to have

00:51:10.020 at least

00:51:10.440 equal or

00:51:11.000 better skills

00:51:11.700 to judge

00:51:12.780 whether they

00:51:13.280 did it.

00:51:13.700 Because remember,

00:51:14.240 your dog

00:51:14.740 can't judge

00:51:15.600 how you

00:51:17.260 do at

00:51:17.560 work.

00:51:17.900 because your

00:51:19.480 dog doesn't

00:51:19.980 understand your

00:51:20.700 work, so

00:51:22.060 it can't

00:51:22.440 judge it.

00:51:23.720 Right?

00:51:24.200 So I'm like

00:51:24.740 the dog.

00:51:25.920 I'm like a

00:51:26.700 dog watching

00:51:28.140 Brett and

00:51:29.040 Heather go to 0.99

00:51:29.540 work.

00:51:30.460 And the

00:51:31.000 only thing I

00:51:31.520 say is,

00:51:32.720 roof,

00:51:34.080 roof.

00:51:35.760 I'm hungry.

00:51:37.020 I need to

00:51:37.540 go out.

00:51:38.600 That's all I

00:51:39.420 can add to

00:51:39.820 the conversation

00:51:40.440 because I

00:51:40.900 don't have

00:51:41.240 their skills.

00:51:42.100 But you

00:51:43.180 do.

00:51:45.080 Many of

00:51:45.660 you have

00:51:46.760 some kind

00:51:47.480 of heuristic

00:51:49.860 or rule of

00:51:50.460 thumb that

00:51:50.940 you're holding

00:51:51.680 from me

00:51:52.380 because nobody

00:51:53.360 will explain

00:51:54.020 it to me

00:51:54.380 and I feel

00:51:54.800 like you're

00:51:55.780 doing it

00:51:56.120 intentionally.

00:51:57.300 You know

00:51:57.940 something I

00:51:58.480 don't know

00:51:59.040 and you're

00:52:00.160 all not

00:52:00.740 telling me.

00:52:03.480 You do.

00:52:04.820 How do

00:52:05.200 you know

00:52:05.680 that they

00:52:06.180 get the

00:52:06.900 right answer?

00:52:08.020 Like,

00:52:08.280 how could

00:52:08.620 you judge

00:52:09.000 that?

00:52:09.320 I'm just

00:52:09.860 like the

00:52:10.200 dog barking

00:52:10.860 at a

00:52:12.040 computer.

00:52:13.380 I'm like

00:52:13.720 barking at

00:52:14.200 the television.

00:52:14.840 Roof,

00:52:15.180 roof.

00:52:15.800 How do

00:52:16.320 they put

00:52:16.620 those pictures

00:52:17.160 on the

00:52:17.480 television?

00:52:18.400 Roof,

00:52:18.880 roof,

00:52:19.340 roof.

00:52:20.080 That's all

00:52:20.480 I have.

00:52:21.480 But I'm

00:52:21.980 completely aware

00:52:22.780 that I'm

00:52:23.240 just the

00:52:23.580 dog barking

00:52:24.140 at the

00:52:24.440 television.

00:52:25.720 How did

00:52:26.400 you know

00:52:26.940 that they

00:52:27.340 were right

00:52:27.940 and that

00:52:29.040 so many

00:52:30.140 other people

00:52:30.620 were wrong?

00:52:32.120 Now,

00:52:32.400 I heard you

00:52:32.740 say it's

00:52:33.020 because of

00:52:33.380 money,

00:52:33.840 but even

00:52:34.480 that doesn't

00:52:34.960 work for

00:52:35.340 me because

00:52:35.680 they're all

00:52:35.960 making money

00:52:36.460 in their

00:52:36.720 different ways.

00:52:38.540 How'd

00:52:39.020 you do

00:52:39.260 it?

00:52:41.040 No,

00:52:41.540 seriously,

00:52:41.900 how did

00:52:42.240 you do

00:52:42.460 it?

00:52:46.960 Evolutionary

00:52:48.480 biology?

00:52:49.220 That's not

00:52:49.760 an answer.

00:52:51.280 All right,

00:52:51.780 here's the

00:52:52.100 other thing

00:52:52.480 that I

00:52:52.760 can't do.

00:52:54.420 And I've

00:52:54.760 told you

00:52:55.020 this before.

00:52:55.500 When I

00:52:55.720 watched the

00:52:56.140 documentary

00:52:56.680 about Michael

00:52:58.320 Jackson and

00:52:59.060 the allegations

00:52:59.680 against him

00:53:00.420 and children,

00:53:02.160 it was 100%

00:53:03.760 convincing.

00:53:05.280 Boy,

00:53:05.840 was it

00:53:06.160 convincing.

00:53:06.500 so you

00:53:13.240 believe

00:53:13.580 Brett and

00:53:14.000 Heather

00:53:14.220 because they

00:53:14.860 admitted when

00:53:15.680 they were

00:53:16.260 wrong and

00:53:17.740 that increased

00:53:18.520 their credibility.

00:53:20.280 Okay,

00:53:20.580 now we're

00:53:20.900 talking.

00:53:21.680 Let's work

00:53:22.080 with that.

00:53:23.140 So would

00:53:23.520 you say

00:53:23.860 that people

00:53:24.440 who get

00:53:25.900 things wrong

00:53:26.780 and then

00:53:29.040 correct it

00:53:29.680 are more

00:53:30.320 credible than

00:53:31.260 people who

00:53:31.880 are not

00:53:33.480 telling you

00:53:33.880 they got

00:53:34.180 anything

00:53:34.440 wrong?

00:53:34.780 Is that

00:53:36.280 true?

00:53:37.080 And do

00:53:37.460 you think

00:53:37.680 scientists

00:53:38.280 don't correct

00:53:38.960 themselves when

00:53:39.640 the data

00:53:40.040 changes or

00:53:41.240 they find out

00:53:41.780 there's something

00:53:42.180 wrong?

00:53:42.900 Do the

00:53:43.400 scientists who

00:53:45.180 actually work in

00:53:45.860 the field of

00:53:46.320 science, do

00:53:47.980 they get new

00:53:48.560 data and

00:53:49.720 then they just

00:53:50.320 say, that data

00:53:50.980 doesn't agree with

00:53:51.760 my opinion, I'll

00:53:52.500 throw it out.

00:53:53.740 Is that how

00:53:54.260 other scientists

00:53:54.920 work?

00:53:55.740 Or is it

00:53:56.240 possible that

00:53:57.860 you saw

00:53:58.500 Brett and

00:53:59.120 Heather changing 1.00

00:53:59.740 their minds

00:54:00.400 only because you

00:54:01.800 were watching

00:54:02.320 them and that's

00:54:04.500 how all

00:54:04.940 scientists act?

00:54:07.080 That the

00:54:07.860 reason they're

00:54:08.320 scientists is

00:54:09.620 because they're

00:54:10.160 going to respect

00:54:10.640 the data and

00:54:11.540 the process and

00:54:12.860 that when

00:54:13.180 something changes

00:54:13.960 they change

00:54:14.480 with it.

00:54:15.780 Now I

00:54:16.400 thought that

00:54:16.960 regular

00:54:17.420 scientists were

00:54:18.160 also doing

00:54:18.900 that behind

00:54:19.400 closed doors and

00:54:20.960 I just didn't

00:54:21.500 see it.

00:54:22.520 Whereas if you

00:54:23.360 have a podcast

00:54:24.020 you do it in

00:54:25.600 public and

00:54:26.600 then people see

00:54:27.260 it and they

00:54:28.740 say, well

00:54:29.080 that's credible

00:54:29.720 because I see

00:54:31.160 them doing the

00:54:31.940 most normal

00:54:32.580 thing that any

00:54:33.280 scientist does

00:54:34.140 but they're

00:54:35.120 doing it in

00:54:35.580 public where

00:54:37.500 every other

00:54:38.120 scientist in

00:54:38.720 the world who

00:54:39.120 does exactly

00:54:39.780 the same thing

00:54:40.500 change their

00:54:41.420 mind when the

00:54:41.960 data changes.

00:54:43.140 They do it

00:54:43.760 behind closed

00:54:44.360 doors so you

00:54:44.940 can't really

00:54:45.260 trust them.

00:54:46.820 So being on

00:54:47.280 the podcast is

00:54:48.040 what gives them

00:54:48.500 credibility.

00:54:50.840 Now that I

00:54:51.540 hadn't thought

00:54:51.940 of.

00:54:53.300 So just doing

00:54:53.940 it in public

00:54:54.660 makes you trust

00:54:56.160 them because you

00:54:56.840 can see them

00:54:57.420 change their

00:54:57.900 mind but the

00:54:59.400 people who are

00:55:00.040 also scientists

00:55:00.920 who do that

00:55:02.040 every single

00:55:02.700 day because

00:55:03.240 that's exactly

00:55:04.020 what they

00:55:04.360 signed up to

00:55:04.940 do, change

00:55:06.060 their minds.

00:55:07.960 They signed

00:55:08.740 up to change

00:55:09.240 their minds, to

00:55:10.360 find out new

00:55:10.900 things and then

00:55:12.100 adopt those

00:55:12.800 views.

00:55:14.380 Do you think

00:55:14.780 they're not

00:55:15.060 doing that behind

00:55:15.700 these closed

00:55:16.180 doors?

00:55:17.700 That really

00:55:18.260 they just keep

00:55:19.100 their same

00:55:19.480 opinions even

00:55:20.120 when the data

00:55:20.640 changes?

00:55:21.480 They just call

00:55:22.020 themselves scientists

00:55:22.780 but they're

00:55:23.220 really just

00:55:23.660 actors, maybe

00:55:25.080 crisis actors.

00:55:25.920 All right, so

00:55:29.480 that's one way.

00:55:30.260 So one way is

00:55:31.120 that they change

00:55:31.720 their minds in

00:55:32.300 public.

00:55:33.260 What are some

00:55:33.800 other ways you

00:55:34.400 know they're

00:55:34.740 right?

00:55:43.160 And the other

00:55:44.380 people followed

00:55:45.140 the money.

00:55:46.740 So the fact

00:55:47.420 that Brett

00:55:49.520 and Heather had 0.98

00:55:51.280 one sort of

00:55:52.600 business model,

00:55:54.060 do you think

00:55:54.520 that if Brett

00:55:55.640 and Heather

00:55:55.980 had decided

00:55:56.640 that new

00:55:57.860 information showed

00:55:58.780 that the

00:55:59.240 vaccination was

00:56:00.060 the best thing

00:56:00.620 that ever

00:56:00.960 happened to

00:56:01.400 the world,

00:56:02.660 do you think

00:56:03.120 that they

00:56:03.440 would adopt

00:56:04.040 that view?

00:56:05.700 Which would

00:56:06.360 be reputationally

00:56:08.400 and financially

00:56:09.100 devastating to

00:56:10.260 them.

00:56:12.820 So you trust

00:56:14.920 them to the

00:56:15.640 point where

00:56:17.200 they would not

00:56:17.800 follow the

00:56:18.280 money.

00:56:18.820 They would be

00:56:19.220 the only ones.

00:56:21.160 So you believe

00:56:22.100 that you found

00:56:22.940 the only two

00:56:23.640 human who don't

00:56:24.280 follow the

00:56:24.700 money.

00:56:25.640 You do?

00:56:26.440 Okay.

00:56:27.400 Well that is

00:56:27.880 a very good

00:56:28.500 vote for those

00:56:29.820 two.

00:56:31.100 See I don't

00:56:31.620 have that skill.

00:56:33.580 I'm still like

00:56:34.660 the dog barking

00:56:35.360 at the TV.

00:56:36.560 Follow the

00:56:36.940 money.

00:56:37.300 Row, row,

00:56:38.140 row.

00:56:38.740 It's just

00:56:39.120 different money

00:56:39.660 following a

00:56:40.100 different path.

00:56:41.480 To me it's

00:56:42.000 everybody following

00:56:42.660 the money.

00:56:44.400 Now if you

00:56:46.280 thought that

00:56:47.240 Brett and

00:56:49.800 Heather are

00:56:50.720 especially

00:56:51.300 immune from

00:56:52.140 following the

00:56:52.720 money.

00:56:52.940 What about

00:56:53.780 me?

00:56:55.020 Because you've

00:56:55.820 seen me take

00:56:56.540 the view that

00:56:57.120 makes me the

00:56:57.840 least money.

00:56:58.920 And you know

00:56:59.340 it.

00:57:00.040 You know it.

00:57:01.780 You know it.

00:57:03.200 You watch it

00:57:03.980 every day.

00:57:04.840 You see me

00:57:05.660 pissing off my 0.93

00:57:06.460 audience every

00:57:07.220 day intentionally.

00:57:08.600 Do you think I do

00:57:09.220 it to make money?

00:57:11.020 I don't know any

00:57:11.860 business model where

00:57:12.720 that works.

00:57:13.840 I'm basically being

00:57:14.800 CNN right now.

00:57:16.200 I'm being CNN.

00:57:17.000 I'm trying to be

00:57:17.840 balanced and it's

00:57:18.700 just killing me

00:57:19.760 financially.

00:57:21.800 It's horrible.

00:57:24.020 But that's what

00:57:25.860 integrity looks like.

00:57:28.220 In case you've

00:57:28.800 never seen it.

00:57:30.300 In case you've

00:57:30.900 never seen it,

00:57:31.480 that's what it

00:57:31.860 looks like.

00:57:34.540 Somebody says

00:57:35.260 it's my ego.

00:57:36.780 Yeah, my ego is

00:57:37.580 the reason that

00:57:38.380 I'm saying things

00:57:39.860 that make people

00:57:40.380 hate me.

00:57:41.460 Because of my

00:57:42.140 ego.

00:57:45.080 How do you even

00:57:45.920 connect all those

00:57:46.640 dots?

00:57:47.000 That's a lot of

00:57:47.940 dots to connect.

00:57:50.640 Dignity.

00:57:53.540 All right.

00:57:54.940 Well, that's

00:57:55.640 enough on that.

00:57:58.780 The funniest

00:58:00.640 people are the

00:58:01.340 people who tell

00:58:02.980 me that they're

00:58:03.780 going to stop

00:58:04.280 listening to me

00:58:05.120 until I stop

00:58:07.480 talking about

00:58:08.360 the interpretation

00:58:10.560 of data,

00:58:11.200 basically.

00:58:13.240 And I think,

00:58:14.480 do you really

00:58:14.900 think I'm not

00:58:15.380 going to block

00:58:15.840 you for that?

00:58:16.400 I block

00:58:18.080 everybody who

00:58:18.780 says, I

00:58:20.040 liked it when

00:58:20.620 you did

00:58:20.900 this, but

00:58:21.420 you did too

00:58:22.400 much of this

00:58:22.880 pandemic stuff.

00:58:23.840 I just block

00:58:24.560 all of them.

00:58:25.740 So they won't

00:58:26.420 have to deal

00:58:26.860 with it again.

00:58:28.380 Which I think

00:58:29.100 is a fair.

00:58:30.680 That's a fair

00:58:31.440 deal.

00:58:32.140 Because the

00:58:32.740 thing is that

00:58:33.500 if I only do

00:58:36.180 what the

00:58:36.880 complainers tell

00:58:37.720 me to do,

00:58:38.660 this would be

00:58:39.320 the shittiest

00:58:39.900 experience you

00:58:40.620 ever had.

00:58:41.040 like, oh,

00:58:43.160 these three

00:58:43.740 people told

00:58:44.360 me I must

00:58:45.060 do these

00:58:45.500 topics, but

00:58:46.560 never do

00:58:46.980 these other

00:58:47.400 topics.

00:58:48.120 That's not

00:58:48.700 the show

00:58:49.000 you want to

00:58:49.360 see.

00:58:50.800 Do a

00:58:51.360 spaces

00:58:51.700 debate.

00:58:54.000 I've got a

00:58:54.660 prediction.

00:58:56.200 Nobody's going

00:58:56.720 to want to

00:58:57.060 debate me on

00:58:57.600 this.

00:59:01.520 Nobody's going

00:59:02.040 to want to

00:59:02.420 debate me on

00:59:02.960 this.

00:59:06.420 Yeah.

00:59:06.860 Yeah, it's

00:59:09.580 never going

00:59:09.960 to happen.

00:59:10.960 By the way,

00:59:11.640 what do you

00:59:12.260 think would

00:59:12.660 happen if

00:59:14.200 Brett and

00:59:14.820 I, Brett

00:59:15.240 Weinstein,

00:59:15.980 what would

00:59:16.340 you think if

00:59:16.840 we were to

00:59:17.900 compare notes

00:59:18.660 and if we

00:59:20.460 were to say,

00:59:21.060 all right, what

00:59:21.340 do you think

00:59:21.700 is true and

00:59:23.120 what do I

00:59:23.440 think is true?

00:59:24.100 How different

00:59:24.720 would it be?

00:59:26.560 How different

00:59:27.180 is my current

00:59:28.660 opinion from

00:59:30.660 Brett Weinstein's

00:59:31.700 current opinion

00:59:32.680 about everything

00:59:33.520 on the pandemic?

00:59:36.860 You think

00:59:39.920 it would be

00:59:40.120 90% different?

00:59:42.700 I think it

00:59:43.360 would be the

00:59:43.680 same.

00:59:45.880 It would be

00:59:46.460 the same.

00:59:49.640 You don't

00:59:50.240 think it

00:59:50.520 would be the

00:59:50.800 same?

00:59:53.600 There

00:59:54.040 wouldn't be

00:59:54.440 one thing

00:59:55.000 we disagree

00:59:55.520 on.

00:59:56.720 But you

00:59:57.320 don't realize

00:59:57.840 that, do

00:59:58.200 you?

01:00:00.160 What would

01:00:00.740 happen if I

01:00:01.320 debated Alex

01:00:02.120 Berenson?

01:00:04.340 What percentage

01:00:05.460 would we

01:00:06.100 disagree on?

01:00:06.860 here's what

01:00:09.960 I think.

01:00:11.800 I think it

01:00:12.520 would go

01:00:12.760 like this.

01:00:14.620 I've got

01:00:15.280 this information

01:00:16.060 that says

01:00:16.680 these vaccinations

01:00:17.700 are dangerous.

01:00:19.340 And I would

01:00:20.060 say, well, I

01:00:20.760 don't believe

01:00:21.580 any pandemic

01:00:23.640 data.

01:00:24.800 Do you?

01:00:26.420 And then he

01:00:27.140 would say,

01:00:28.040 well, yeah, I

01:00:28.440 believe this

01:00:28.920 data.

01:00:30.220 And I would

01:00:30.940 say, you

01:00:33.180 live in a

01:00:33.620 world in

01:00:34.060 2023 where

01:00:35.060 anybody's

01:00:35.800 data is

01:00:36.700 credible on

01:00:37.920 the pandemic.

01:00:39.420 And in

01:00:40.020 about five

01:00:40.600 minutes, he

01:00:41.280 would agree

01:00:41.660 with me that

01:00:43.040 you can't

01:00:43.440 really trust

01:00:43.920 any of the

01:00:44.460 data.

01:00:46.560 Right?

01:00:47.540 He might

01:00:48.020 start that

01:00:48.520 way.

01:00:48.860 I mean, this

01:00:49.840 was speculation

01:00:50.580 and mind

01:00:51.060 reading, so it's

01:00:51.740 not really

01:00:52.080 fair.

01:00:52.800 But I'm

01:00:53.480 almost positive

01:00:54.560 that if I

01:00:55.840 talk to any

01:00:56.500 of the people

01:00:56.940 that you think

01:00:57.540 are opposite

01:00:58.140 of my

01:00:58.480 opinion,

01:00:59.840 that I

01:01:00.680 have the

01:01:00.960 same opinion.

01:01:02.480 Does that

01:01:03.060 blow your 0.91

01:01:03.400 mind?

01:01:03.620 Is 0.88

01:01:05.200 anybody's

01:01:05.560 mind

01:01:05.800 blown?

01:01:07.840 I don't

01:01:08.440 think we'd

01:01:08.760 have any

01:01:09.040 difference.

01:01:10.360 Everything

01:01:10.840 that you

01:01:11.200 imagined about

01:01:11.900 my different

01:01:12.400 opinion is

01:01:12.940 completely a

01:01:13.860 hallucination,

01:01:14.700 and I've

01:01:15.320 always known

01:01:15.760 that.

01:01:16.780 You know I've

01:01:17.360 always known

01:01:17.760 that, right?

01:01:18.760 That we

01:01:19.360 didn't disagree.

01:01:20.940 The people

01:01:21.560 who think they

01:01:22.240 disagree with

01:01:22.860 me are

01:01:23.600 completely based

01:01:24.680 on rumors

01:01:26.000 or bad

01:01:26.740 information or

01:01:27.380 whatever.

01:01:27.560 Yeah, I'm

01:01:32.840 in 14 to

01:01:33.520 16 movies at

01:01:34.380 the same

01:01:34.660 time.

01:01:36.380 But it

01:01:37.020 says, I

01:01:37.480 don't believe

01:01:38.000 you.

01:01:39.600 Well, let's

01:01:41.120 test it, right?

01:01:42.160 Let's test it.

01:01:43.400 Those of you

01:01:44.000 who think that

01:01:44.680 I should have

01:01:45.440 Brett correct

01:01:47.580 me, tell me

01:01:49.020 one statement

01:01:49.780 you believe he

01:01:50.680 thinks is true

01:01:51.480 that I think

01:01:52.660 is not true.

01:01:53.600 Go.

01:01:54.440 Tell me one

01:01:55.100 statement, just a

01:01:55.920 clean statement,

01:01:56.580 something that

01:01:58.060 Brett Weinstein

01:01:59.200 believes is

01:01:59.800 true that I

01:02:01.300 don't believe

01:02:01.900 is true.

01:02:02.700 Go.

01:02:04.900 Yeah, there's

01:02:05.520 nothing.

01:02:07.140 There's

01:02:07.580 nothing.

01:02:12.140 Ivermectin?

01:02:13.120 You think we

01:02:13.920 have a different

01:02:14.380 opinion on

01:02:14.900 ivermectin?

01:02:17.880 I don't know

01:02:18.600 what that would

01:02:18.980 be.

01:02:20.260 Here's what I

01:02:21.020 think his

01:02:21.460 opinion is, and

01:02:22.140 you tell me if

01:02:23.500 I'm wrong.

01:02:23.880 the ivermectin

01:02:26.480 story is hard

01:02:29.140 to sort out

01:02:29.840 because the

01:02:30.580 studies may

01:02:31.960 not have

01:02:32.300 focused exactly

01:02:33.140 in the right

01:02:33.540 place.

01:02:34.560 Some seem to

01:02:35.400 indicate in a

01:02:36.340 meta-analysis that

01:02:37.360 it's helpful.

01:02:39.440 So far, so

01:02:40.200 far, agree?

01:02:41.460 So far, agree

01:02:42.520 that the studies

01:02:43.560 that show it

01:02:44.720 doesn't work are

01:02:46.140 sketchy.

01:02:47.700 The studies that

01:02:48.780 show it does

01:02:49.520 work are based

01:02:50.900 on a meta-analysis,

01:02:51.960 and then I

01:02:53.260 would say this

01:02:53.840 to Brett, but

01:02:55.180 you know, a

01:02:55.540 meta-analysis

01:02:56.200 introduces

01:02:56.780 subjectivity because

01:02:59.120 the person who

01:02:59.940 does it gets to

01:03:01.040 decide what's in

01:03:01.900 and out of the

01:03:02.440 study, and

01:03:03.380 also, if one

01:03:05.260 big study is

01:03:06.500 bigger than the

01:03:07.060 others, it's

01:03:07.560 really not a

01:03:08.320 meta-analysis,

01:03:09.100 it's one study

01:03:09.780 because it biases

01:03:10.780 it by so much.

01:03:11.760 If I said that

01:03:12.540 to Brett, would

01:03:13.680 he say, no, I

01:03:14.360 disagree with

01:03:14.980 you.

01:03:15.760 A meta-analysis

01:03:17.020 in which one

01:03:17.940 study is so big

01:03:19.920 that it biases the

01:03:20.820 whole meta-analysis,

01:03:21.640 is still really

01:03:22.700 good.

01:03:23.760 He wouldn't say

01:03:24.280 that.

01:03:25.640 Do you know

01:03:26.100 why he wouldn't

01:03:26.640 say that?

01:03:27.900 Because he's

01:03:28.540 smart.

01:03:29.580 Nobody would

01:03:30.020 say that he

01:03:30.400 was smart.

01:03:32.600 And then, do

01:03:35.420 you think I

01:03:35.840 would disagree

01:03:36.380 with him when

01:03:37.040 he said that

01:03:37.580 the studies that

01:03:38.920 say ivermectin

01:03:39.780 doesn't work are

01:03:41.120 sketchy?

01:03:41.900 Do you think I

01:03:42.660 would disagree?

01:03:43.340 No, I think

01:03:43.880 all the data is

01:03:44.680 sketchy, with

01:03:45.760 no exceptions.

01:03:47.320 So we would

01:03:48.120 agree that all

01:03:48.840 the ivermectin

01:03:49.480 data is

01:03:50.380 imperfect.

01:03:53.600 Then we would

01:03:54.400 move to point

01:03:55.060 two.

01:03:55.940 If it's

01:03:56.420 imperfect, should

01:03:58.140 you have the

01:03:58.560 right to try

01:03:59.200 it, knowing

01:03:59.860 that the

01:04:00.360 risks are

01:04:00.960 low?

01:04:01.640 What would

01:04:02.200 I say?

01:04:03.500 What would

01:04:03.840 I say

01:04:04.100 that?

01:04:06.020 Would I

01:04:06.640 disagree?

01:04:08.280 I'd say, yes,

01:04:09.220 of course.

01:04:10.400 Low risk,

01:04:12.060 potential upside,

01:04:13.760 plenty of

01:04:14.400 anecdotal reports,

01:04:15.600 and then

01:04:17.220 Brett would

01:04:18.160 agree with

01:04:18.620 me that

01:04:18.960 anecdotal

01:04:19.520 reports are

01:04:20.080 not

01:04:20.340 confirmation

01:04:21.380 and that

01:04:23.240 the meta

01:04:24.080 analysis is

01:04:24.920 not

01:04:25.140 confirmation

01:04:25.880 and the

01:04:27.260 RCTs that

01:04:28.300 say it

01:04:28.640 doesn't work

01:04:29.240 are not

01:04:30.320 super

01:04:31.260 reliable.

01:04:32.900 So it

01:04:33.500 just comes

01:04:33.880 down to,

01:04:34.440 well, I

01:04:34.740 don't know

01:04:34.940 if it

01:04:35.140 works and

01:04:35.520 I don't

01:04:35.720 know if

01:04:35.960 it does

01:04:36.380 or doesn't,

01:04:37.340 but it

01:04:38.320 should be

01:04:38.620 legal for

01:04:39.100 me to

01:04:39.340 try it.

01:04:40.560 So where

01:04:40.920 would we

01:04:41.260 disagree?

01:04:42.400 Where would

01:04:42.860 we disagree?

01:04:44.460 See, I

01:04:45.260 have a

01:04:45.560 theory that

01:04:47.320 above a

01:04:47.880 certain level

01:04:48.400 of intelligence

01:04:49.060 everybody agrees.

01:04:50.720 It just

01:04:51.380 looks like

01:04:51.840 we don't.

01:04:55.080 I don't

01:04:55.680 think there's

01:04:56.040 ever been a

01:04:56.540 disagreement.

01:04:57.880 Is it

01:04:58.340 blowing your

01:04:58.800 mind?

01:05:00.420 Try

01:05:00.680 something else.

01:05:01.940 That was the

01:05:02.360 best you

01:05:02.680 had.

01:05:03.360 So the

01:05:03.680 best you

01:05:04.080 had was

01:05:04.520 something where

01:05:04.980 we clearly

01:05:05.500 would agree.

01:05:07.320 Try

01:05:07.560 something else.

01:05:08.580 Something else

01:05:09.240 you think that

01:05:09.800 Brett believes

01:05:10.540 is, oh,

01:05:14.080 Brett might

01:05:14.520 say the

01:05:14.940 adverse events

01:05:15.820 justify, all

01:05:16.940 right, let's

01:05:17.180 talk about

01:05:17.540 that.

01:05:18.860 Do you

01:05:19.160 think that

01:05:19.680 Brett believes

01:05:20.720 that the

01:05:21.560 vaccinations are

01:05:22.480 a bad idea

01:05:23.120 for younger

01:05:24.120 people?

01:05:26.180 Yes or no?

01:05:28.940 Would Brett

01:05:29.660 say that

01:05:30.340 vaccinations are

01:05:31.620 a bad idea

01:05:32.300 for younger

01:05:32.800 people?

01:05:33.500 I think he'd

01:05:34.020 say yes.

01:05:34.740 What do you

01:05:35.100 think I'd

01:05:35.440 say?

01:05:36.520 Based on

01:05:37.160 current

01:05:37.440 information,

01:05:38.380 what would

01:05:38.740 I say?

01:05:39.060 I'd

01:05:40.580 agree.

01:05:41.840 I would

01:05:42.400 agree.

01:05:43.100 What did

01:05:43.640 I say

01:05:44.000 during the

01:05:44.600 pandemic,

01:05:45.380 before we

01:05:46.020 had a

01:05:47.300 little bit

01:05:47.600 better

01:05:47.820 information?

01:05:49.020 What did

01:05:49.400 I say?

01:05:49.900 Do you

01:05:50.360 remember me

01:05:50.840 saying, yeah,

01:05:51.380 let's

01:05:51.600 vaccinate

01:05:52.040 those kids?

01:05:53.940 Did you

01:05:54.240 ever hear

01:05:54.500 me say

01:05:54.800 that?

01:05:55.940 Have I

01:05:56.300 ever suggested

01:05:56.960 children should 0.99

01:05:57.620 be vaccinated?

01:05:59.480 Nope.

01:06:00.360 Nope.

01:06:01.440 No.

01:06:02.180 So where

01:06:02.620 would we

01:06:02.960 disagree?

01:06:04.540 Now, here's

01:06:05.720 the second

01:06:06.060 question.

01:06:06.440 people over

01:06:08.320 50, let's

01:06:09.560 say over

01:06:09.880 65, wherever

01:06:10.920 we want to

01:06:11.300 do it, would

01:06:13.500 Brett say

01:06:14.660 that for

01:06:16.300 people over,

01:06:17.180 let's say

01:06:17.460 65, would

01:06:19.200 he say that

01:06:19.660 people over

01:06:20.160 65 did

01:06:22.680 not receive a

01:06:23.460 benefit from

01:06:24.000 the shot?

01:06:25.360 What would

01:06:25.940 he say?

01:06:30.640 I think he

01:06:31.460 would say,

01:06:32.020 I don't know,

01:06:33.540 I think he

01:06:34.060 would say the

01:06:34.820 data shows

01:06:35.680 that they

01:06:36.460 had higher

01:06:37.160 survivability,

01:06:38.380 but what we

01:06:39.720 don't know

01:06:40.320 is any

01:06:42.140 long-term

01:06:42.620 consequences.

01:06:44.640 Yes or

01:06:45.360 no?

01:06:46.960 Do you

01:06:47.660 think he

01:06:47.940 would say

01:06:48.180 that?

01:06:49.400 The data

01:06:50.000 shows, the

01:06:51.180 data is, you

01:06:51.960 know, sketchy,

01:06:53.200 but the data

01:06:54.020 does show

01:06:54.760 that older

01:06:55.520 people got a

01:06:56.200 benefit, on

01:06:57.460 average, but

01:07:00.480 that there

01:07:00.800 might be long-term

01:07:01.620 consequences that

01:07:02.700 could be

01:07:03.120 catastrophic.

01:07:04.500 Would I

01:07:04.920 disagree with

01:07:05.580 that?

01:07:06.320 Would I

01:07:06.680 disagree with

01:07:07.220 that?

01:07:08.340 I think that's

01:07:09.320 the opinion, but

01:07:09.800 I don't really

01:07:10.180 know.

01:07:11.400 No, I would

01:07:11.920 agree with

01:07:12.260 that.

01:07:13.920 I have agreed

01:07:14.800 with that as

01:07:15.380 clearly as

01:07:16.020 possible.

01:07:17.460 So where

01:07:18.060 would we

01:07:18.380 disagree?

01:07:21.720 Is your

01:07:22.340 mind blown

01:07:22.860 yet?

01:07:24.060 Does it

01:07:24.620 blow your 0.91

01:07:25.000 mind that

01:07:25.640 there's no

01:07:26.040 disagreement

01:07:26.500 between me

01:07:27.400 and my

01:07:27.840 biggest critic?

01:07:29.020 He's not my

01:07:29.600 biggest critic,

01:07:30.300 but, you

01:07:30.560 know, just

01:07:30.820 for the

01:07:31.100 purpose of

01:07:31.520 this

01:07:31.700 conversation.

01:07:33.120 Is anybody's

01:07:35.100 mind blown

01:07:35.580 right now

01:07:36.040 at all?

01:07:39.280 Somebody

01:07:39.720 says, do

01:07:40.100 you believe

01:07:40.380 that data?

01:07:41.760 No matter

01:07:42.180 how many

01:07:42.880 times, can

01:07:43.700 I get

01:07:44.020 permission to

01:07:44.580 swear?

01:07:49.980 Permission

01:07:50.420 to swear?

01:07:52.440 All right,

01:07:52.780 too many

01:07:53.040 no's.

01:07:53.700 All right,

01:07:53.940 there are

01:07:54.080 too many

01:07:54.320 no's, I'm

01:07:54.740 not going

01:07:55.280 to do it.

01:07:57.480 I'll do

01:07:58.060 this without

01:07:58.540 swearing.

01:08:00.440 Let me

01:08:01.000 answer all

01:08:01.640 of your

01:08:01.860 questions.

01:08:03.400 There's a

01:08:03.860 new study

01:08:04.340 out, Scott.

01:08:04.940 Do you

01:08:05.220 believe it?

01:08:06.180 No.

01:08:07.200 There's a

01:08:07.660 new study

01:08:08.080 out that

01:08:08.400 says the

01:08:08.720 opposite

01:08:09.040 study.

01:08:09.840 Do you

01:08:10.120 believe it?

01:08:11.460 No.

01:08:12.880 There's a

01:08:13.360 new study

01:08:13.740 that says

01:08:14.100 you were

01:08:14.420 right about

01:08:14.840 everything,

01:08:15.360 Scott.

01:08:15.680 Do you

01:08:15.900 believe it?

01:08:18.040 What do

01:08:18.500 you think

01:08:18.680 I'd say?

01:08:20.000 No.

01:08:21.580 There's a

01:08:22.060 study that

01:08:22.480 disagrees with

01:08:23.120 everything you

01:08:23.540 said, Scott.

01:08:24.000 Do you

01:08:24.180 believe it?

01:08:25.380 What do

01:08:25.820 you think

01:08:25.980 my answer

01:08:26.340 is?

01:08:27.760 No.

01:08:28.160 Try to

01:08:31.860 pick up

01:08:32.140 the

01:08:32.280 pattern.

01:08:33.540 It's

01:08:33.720 all no.

01:08:35.160 It's

01:08:35.460 all no,

01:08:36.380 top to

01:08:36.840 bottom.

01:08:37.860 No

01:08:38.120 exceptions.

01:08:39.180 If it has

01:08:39.660 anything to

01:08:40.300 do with

01:08:40.540 the pandemic,

01:08:41.660 it's all

01:08:42.640 no.

01:08:43.740 No.

01:08:45.100 So you

01:08:45.400 don't ever

01:08:45.820 have to ask

01:08:46.320 me again.

01:08:47.320 If I tell

01:08:48.120 you there's

01:08:48.520 a new

01:08:48.760 study that

01:08:49.320 says wearing

01:08:50.820 masks made

01:08:52.240 your penis 0.99

01:08:52.700 grow, do

01:08:54.440 you have to

01:08:54.860 ask me if

01:08:55.340 I believe

01:08:55.760 it?

01:08:57.900 No.

01:08:59.040 No.

01:09:00.500 If there's

01:09:01.080 a new

01:09:01.320 study that

01:09:01.820 says the

01:09:02.480 vaccinations

01:09:03.100 actually made

01:09:03.880 you smarter,

01:09:05.680 do you

01:09:06.840 have to ask

01:09:07.320 me if I

01:09:07.720 believe it?

01:09:09.280 No.

01:09:11.100 No.

01:09:11.740 You can

01:09:12.000 skip that

01:09:13.060 step.

01:09:13.760 You can

01:09:14.400 skip that

01:09:14.860 step every

01:09:15.640 time.

01:09:16.780 I'm not

01:09:17.480 going to

01:09:17.700 change my

01:09:18.160 mind on

01:09:18.580 this.

01:09:19.300 I'm just

01:09:19.940 not.

01:09:20.700 The

01:09:21.100 information

01:09:21.560 is not

01:09:22.540 credible

01:09:23.300 at all.

01:09:24.860 And

01:09:27.800 basically

01:09:28.620 this is

01:09:29.060 the same

01:09:29.460 approach

01:09:30.040 I've

01:09:30.260 taken on

01:09:30.660 climate

01:09:30.980 change.

01:09:32.640 I think

01:09:33.360 it's

01:09:33.560 hilarious

01:09:33.960 that the

01:09:35.800 world was

01:09:36.340 convinced we

01:09:37.000 can measure

01:09:37.440 the temperature

01:09:38.040 of the

01:09:38.380 world.

01:09:41.500 I mean

01:09:42.120 I don't

01:09:42.480 even need

01:09:42.800 to say

01:09:43.100 anything

01:09:43.340 about that.

01:09:44.820 It's

01:09:45.340 hilarious

01:09:45.820 that anybody

01:09:46.640 ever believed

01:09:47.520 that and

01:09:48.640 that we're

01:09:48.940 measuring it

01:09:49.500 every year

01:09:50.000 and we

01:09:50.620 can tell

01:09:50.920 it's

01:09:51.080 moving a

01:09:51.560 little

01:09:51.700 bit.

01:09:53.500 That's the

01:09:54.120 most

01:09:54.360 absurd

01:09:54.980 thing

01:09:55.840 anybody

01:09:56.220 ever

01:09:56.480 believed.

01:09:57.960 Now if I

01:09:58.460 don't even

01:09:58.760 believe that

01:09:59.380 and that's

01:09:59.800 basically

01:10:00.520 that's

01:10:01.400 accepted as

01:10:02.160 pretty basic

01:10:03.640 science

01:10:04.180 that we

01:10:05.380 okay we

01:10:05.960 can't measure

01:10:06.640 everything but

01:10:07.360 as long as

01:10:08.600 we're consistent

01:10:09.280 with the ones

01:10:09.940 that we are

01:10:10.460 measuring

01:10:10.900 it's not

01:10:12.640 good enough.

01:10:13.440 Not good

01:10:13.820 enough.

01:10:18.020 Has

01:10:18.460 health care

01:10:18.940 declined

01:10:19.540 since

01:10:19.940 Obamacare?

01:10:20.660 Well health

01:10:21.660 care has

01:10:21.980 declined

01:10:22.440 I don't

01:10:23.240 know if

01:10:23.460 it's

01:10:23.620 because

01:10:23.940 of

01:10:24.160 Obamacare.

01:10:27.460 By the

01:10:28.020 way I've

01:10:28.440 heard some

01:10:28.780 of the

01:10:28.980 most horrific

01:10:29.540 health

01:10:29.920 care

01:10:30.140 stories

01:10:30.660 recently.

01:10:34.200 It's

01:10:34.680 crazy.

01:10:37.080 Yeah.

01:10:38.380 I mean

01:10:38.620 I can't

01:10:40.080 tell you the

01:10:40.480 stories I've

01:10:40.980 heard but

01:10:41.420 there's one

01:10:43.080 I heard

01:10:43.360 recently

01:10:43.800 I wish

01:10:44.920 I could

01:10:45.180 tell you

01:10:45.580 but it

01:10:47.360 was a

01:10:47.720 failure of

01:10:48.460 a health

01:10:48.980 care process

01:10:49.780 at a

01:10:50.220 level which

01:10:50.920 I didn't

01:10:52.900 even think

01:10:53.280 was possible.

01:10:55.120 I mean

01:10:55.500 it was

01:10:56.200 incredibly

01:10:57.560 failure

01:10:58.900 failure

01:10:59.280 like

01:11:00.500 oh my

01:11:02.080 freaking

01:11:02.840 god

01:11:03.380 failure.

01:11:04.700 Yeah.

01:11:05.140 And it

01:11:05.380 happens to

01:11:05.760 be my

01:11:06.080 health

01:11:06.320 care

01:11:06.520 provider

01:11:06.960 that

01:11:07.300 did it.

01:11:09.000 So it

01:11:09.360 turns out

01:11:09.900 that there's

01:11:11.340 something called

01:11:11.900 a patient

01:11:13.820 advocate.

01:11:15.020 Have you

01:11:15.160 ever heard

01:11:15.420 of that?

01:11:17.100 At least

01:11:17.480 at Kaiser.

01:11:17.940 there's a

01:11:19.140 patient

01:11:19.420 advocate

01:11:19.920 and

01:11:21.240 apparently

01:11:21.660 you can

01:11:22.800 make things

01:11:23.400 go from

01:11:23.960 nothing

01:11:24.280 happening

01:11:24.680 to

01:11:24.900 something

01:11:25.200 happening

01:11:25.640 by asking

01:11:26.800 to talk

01:11:27.260 to that

01:11:27.580 person.

01:11:29.000 Because

01:11:29.500 things are

01:11:29.920 so bad

01:11:30.540 that you

01:11:31.680 can't even

01:11:32.100 work it out

01:11:32.680 with the

01:11:33.000 people you're

01:11:33.440 working with.

01:11:34.520 You just

01:11:34.780 have to

01:11:35.140 well that's

01:11:40.780 pretty good.

01:11:41.180 like an

01:11:50.580 ombudsman.

01:11:51.500 I don't

01:11:51.800 know if

01:11:52.000 it's like

01:11:52.280 an ombudsman.

01:11:53.520 I think

01:11:53.900 it might

01:11:54.140 be more

01:11:55.100 than that.

01:11:56.680 All right

01:11:57.180 that's all

01:11:57.460 I got for

01:11:57.760 now.

01:11:58.660 YouTube

01:11:59.100 I'll talk

01:11:59.920 to you

01:12:00.140 tomorrow

01:12:00.440 and maybe

01:12:01.920 I'll be

01:12:02.200 right about

01:12:02.600 something

01:12:02.920 tomorrow

01:12:03.380 but not

01:12:04.320 today.

01:12:05.140 Bye for

01:12:05.500 now.
