00:00:00.000 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of civilization and certainly the
00:00:08.460 best live stream you'll ever see in your entire life. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams,
00:00:12.540 and I don't think there could be a better time in the entire world. But we can test that. We
00:00:18.780 can test the outer limits of how much fun we can have. And all you need for that is
00:00:23.020 let me fix my mouth for a little bit. All right, better. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass,
00:00:32.980 a tank or chalice of time, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind, fill it with your favorite
00:00:38.620 liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day,
00:00:45.540 the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It's going to happen right
00:00:50.700 now. Go. Oh, yeah. Savor it. Savor it. Locals is working great today. Just saying. Everything's
00:01:06.660 working great today. So while we're talking about all of our small little problems and all of our
00:01:16.340 people are complaining about what faces on the Bud Light can, none of that seems terribly
00:01:22.980 important to what Elon Musk is doing today, which is describing his detailed plans for occupying
00:01:31.160 Mars. So he's got a detailed plan of how many starships he's going to build per year and how
00:01:38.580 much weight they can move and how often they can take off, three per day, you know, three flights per
00:01:45.460 day. And so he's figured out, he's actually figured out how to bring enough weight to Mars in terms of,
00:01:53.760 you know, transporting stuff that he can actually colonize Mars. Apparently we have all the technology
00:02:04.160 to do that. He's actually sending fleets of ships to Mars. I don't know how he pays for it. I mean,
00:02:11.680 if you're the richest man, I guess you can figure it out. But that the the impact of that is just so
00:02:19.440 enormous. But I don't think I will ever be on Mars. Scott thinks we're going to Mars. I don't think
00:02:27.940 you're going to Mars. Cloudy face. Anyway, I always get rid of everybody who says what I'm thinking.
00:02:36.700 So pot life, if you tell people what I'm thinking, you get removed. So you've been hidden.
00:02:45.440 I will hide you forever. All right. Well, there's not much to say about this story, except it's so
00:02:50.400 amazing that it's almost impossible to talk about that in our lifetime, while you were alive,
00:02:57.380 we were packing up to go to Mars. I mean, not personally. But don't you think that you'll
00:03:05.700 visit Mars at least in a virtual form? Maybe the signal takes too long to get to Mars. But it seems
00:03:13.260 like I would at least have an avatar on Mars at some point. There'll be a robot on Mars. You can just
00:03:19.260 put yourself into it and walk around on Mars. I'm sure that'll happen. So I might do that. But I don't
00:03:25.220 think I'm going to personally travel there. I'm not that kind of an adventurer. All right.
00:03:32.860 So the state of Montana banned TikTok. And the first time I read this story, I read it incorrectly
00:03:39.860 because I believed it was yet another state that was banning it only on government phones. But
00:03:46.820 Montana is banning it, assuming the governor signs it, I guess. Montana is going to ban use
00:03:52.540 of TikTok in their state. Now, I have no idea how that's physically possible or legally possible.
00:04:01.180 But the fact that the state is even trying is a real good sign. So what would happen if the
00:04:08.320 other 50 states decided to do it and the federal government didn't? Maybe the states just have
00:04:14.740 to leave this. But it feels like a sign that the federal government is not doing its job.
00:04:21.980 Because if you see the states, it feels like the main purpose of the states these days is to embarrass
00:04:27.440 the federal government into doing what obviously it should do. You know, obviously it should be tougher
00:04:33.220 on fentanyl. So the states went first, right? The states were the ones who got tough with or tried to
00:04:39.880 get tough with fentanyl before the federal government. Tried to push them. And same with TikTok.
00:04:47.520 So that's a, that's sort of a productive use of the states as the laboratories. They can push the
00:04:55.280 federal government by doing the obvious things. And then everybody says, well, why is that so obvious
00:05:00.440 for the state, but not for the federal government? Leave TikTok alone, doko studio says.
00:05:07.660 Are you on China's side or our side? All right. Speaking of that, did you know that India is
00:05:18.120 projected to have, and may already, have a greater population than China this year? Does that blow your
00:05:25.260 mind? That India is now the biggest country, bigger than China, population-wise, bigger than China.
00:05:33.320 Now, I thought that it might happen, but I didn't think it would happen this year.
00:05:39.640 That, yeah, talk about a plot twist, right? That's a huge plot twist. So everything that you worried,
00:05:46.480 well, let me take you back in time. Come back in time with me to the 70s, I think. In the 70s,
00:05:55.220 do you remember what we were all worried about, the adults were worried about? It was that Japan
00:06:01.320 Japan was rising so quickly and was becoming such an industrial manufacturing power that Japan would
00:06:08.740 basically take over all our industry and the United States would be left an empty shell of a nothing.
00:06:15.320 Well, that didn't work out, did it? It turns out that you cannot predict the future of Japan.
00:06:20.740 Japan. So Japan went into a long sort of plateau phase. They've got a population problem. They
00:06:28.540 didn't take over the world. I think that we were treating China the same way, and that China may
00:06:34.500 have so many problems that when we look at them, we say, oh my God, they're going to take over the
00:06:41.460 world, and all they care about is expansionism, and they want to rule everything. Now, they might want to
00:06:48.480 do that, but how successful they are is probably overblown, or how successful they could be.
00:07:00.160 Yeah. So who knows? Who knows? But the fact that India is, at least on paper, more pro-America,
00:07:08.820 pro-West, that's a pretty good sign. Pretty good sign.
00:07:13.600 I wasn't going to talk about this, but it just popped into my head. Do you believe that the reason
00:07:23.200 we went into Ukraine had anything to do with protecting Ukraine's territorial integrity?
00:07:29.840 Does anybody think that's why we did it? See, the weird thing about this is that we're now fully aware
00:07:36.600 that our government lied to us and lied to the world to start a war. I don't think there could be a
00:07:45.800 worse crime, could there? Name a worse crime. Starting a war that didn't need to be started,
00:07:52.280 and lying to your public about it, and then lying to the world about it. Maybe the biggest crime since
00:07:59.160 the Holocaust, or since Stalin killed a zillion people, or Mao. I mean, it might be in the top 10.
00:08:10.520 Suddenly, I realized how many massive crimes against humanity there are. But it's probably in the top 10
00:08:17.560 of one of the worst things I've ever seen in my lifetime. And we're treating it like it's business as
00:08:22.760 usual. What is up with that? Is that a media thing? Can't you imagine a media completely turning
00:08:31.400 on the government and saying, whoa, whoa, whoa, now that we know that this was all just a big old money
00:08:36.520 grab, whatever it was, I don't know. But it wasn't protecting any, any, you know, property in Ukraine,
00:08:44.440 I don't think. Yeah. Watergate was nothing compared to this. But why is it that we decide to be
00:08:52.280 outraged about some things? But we're not outraged about this? Because what would be more outrageous
00:08:59.320 than starting a war with a nuclear power on false pretenses? And I can't even think what's worse.
00:09:07.800 Is it distance? Because it's not happening in our backyard? Probably. But I think it's also
00:09:13.560 that it might work. And when I say it might work, we believe that the real, the real motivations of
00:09:23.160 our government was to drain, drain Russia of its power, ideally to replace Putin, but to at least
00:09:32.440 drain them of their power. I feel like it might do that. It might drain Russia of its power in the long run.
00:09:40.040 So it's not entirely clear to me that it won't work. I wouldn't have done it. I don't support it.
00:09:49.480 But it might work. It's possible. You know, war is very unpredictable. I will, I will agree with those
00:09:56.040 of you who are going to be screaming me at me in the comments, Russia is winning the war, and Russia
00:10:02.200 will win the war. And there's no doubt about it, because they're just not going to quit until they do.
00:10:06.040 Maybe. I mean, that's not crazy. But anything can happen. It's an unpredictable situation.
00:10:16.040 All right. I keep seeing on social media, people calling for Budweiser to apologize.
00:10:23.080 Am I missing something about this story? What is it that Budweiser needs to apologize for?
00:10:29.240 Is there a part of the story? I don't know. And we know that, you know, Dylan Mulvaney is on the,
00:10:37.560 on the Bud Light, or at least some special Bud Light bottles. But what would they need to apologize for?
00:10:46.280 For being woke? Why did they need to apologize?
00:10:52.440 Disrespecting his customers? They didn't do that.
00:10:54.280 You think that Budweiser disrespected its customers?
00:11:01.400 How many of their men were drinking Bud Light?
00:11:07.000 I think the whole point of it was that Bud Light was not a manly drink, because it was light. Right?
00:11:14.120 I've never seen a man drink a Bud Light in my entire life. I've never seen one adult male human drink a Bud Light.
00:11:22.440 Have you? I've never seen it. I've never even seen one in the house. I've never seen one in a bucket.
00:11:30.200 I've never even seen a Bud Light. I didn't even know there was a Bud Light.
00:11:34.840 That's how irrelevant it was. Didn't even know it existed.
00:11:39.400 So, I believe it was always meant to be a woman's drink.
00:11:44.360 I mean, Bud Light just screams a woman's drink, doesn't it?
00:11:47.240 I mean, in our sexist world, it screams that.
00:11:51.800 I don't know.
00:11:53.080 The last thing they need to do is apologize.
00:11:55.720 If there's a problem, the problem is Budweiser's problem.
00:11:59.820 It's not your problem.
00:12:01.480 And I don't think that Budweiser needed to coddle all of its customers for every line of business.
00:12:10.200 You know, like cross-collateralizing them and making sure that, well, you don't drink this beverage at all, but I don't want to offend you.
00:12:19.900 Does that make sense?
00:12:21.400 If you're not even the customer, how can you be offended?
00:12:24.900 Anyway, I don't need an apology, but if you do, okay.
00:12:28.020 So, I didn't realize that Elon Musk's AI was going to be named X.AI, or that maybe the app would be named that.
00:12:39.880 And I saw a tweet from Brian Rommelet, who I recommend all the time on Twitter for the AI and high-tech stuff.
00:12:51.820 And he says that the AI effort by Musk is going to be tied into the future of Twitter.
00:13:03.740 In other words, that Twitter will be the interface to everything, and you'll just treat it like an AI.
00:13:10.120 So, I assume that means you could sort of tell it to send a tweet, you could tell it to send some money, you could tell it to search a database.
00:13:22.000 I don't know.
00:13:22.820 Who knows what else we will do, but I would be, I'm going to be quite impressed.
00:13:28.760 If X, the new version of Twitter, becomes an AI company, and the whole Twitter user interface becomes obsolete in a year?
00:13:41.240 I mean, that could happen in a year.
00:13:43.400 In one year, Twitter, and in fact, all of interfaces, the entire interface, you know, landscape could be completely different in a year.
00:13:52.300 It could be that the only way you talk to a computer or your phone is by voice or by texting it what you want.
00:14:00.760 There won't be buttons to push.
00:14:07.260 Okay, snowflake nightmare.
00:14:09.540 You wasted your time on that comment.
00:14:11.820 I'm going to make you go away just for using too many caps.
00:14:15.580 Hide user on this channel.
00:14:17.020 Goodbye.
00:14:17.260 Goodbye.
00:14:20.400 All right.
00:14:22.300 Now, what else is happening here?
00:14:26.060 We got, so the European Union is worried about AI, and they're going to make some regulations.
00:14:32.600 And what do you think it is that they're concerned about?
00:14:35.640 Well, I believe I warned you this was coming.
00:14:40.320 They're concerned about how AI is going to use copyright, copyrighted material.
00:14:47.280 Do you see where this is going?
00:14:48.420 There's an entire industry of artists who will team up with an entire industry of lawyers,
00:14:56.220 and they will make it illegal for AI to use their copyrighted material or even to borrow from it in material ways,
00:15:06.180 which will make the value of AI shoot to zero.
00:15:09.860 So, no, that's the exaggeration.
00:15:14.540 But how much of what you see AI do looks to you like it might be a copyright violation?
00:15:22.380 It's a lot, right?
00:15:24.340 And the reason that humans can be controlled is that if you write a book and you don't mention that you copied somebody's stuff,
00:15:33.580 you know, they'll sue you.
00:15:35.140 But in the AI world, you just ask a question and you're just all alone in your house,
00:15:39.720 and then it produces something that only you see.
00:15:42.880 But what if that thing it produced is a copyright violation?
00:15:46.520 Who would know?
00:15:48.420 Who would know?
00:15:49.180 Because it would be created locally, nobody would know that you violated copyright.
00:15:54.520 You could tell it to write you a new book by a different author.
00:15:58.640 You could tell it to write you a new Stephen King book.
00:16:01.760 And then it would just write one, and it would make a cover, and make an e-book,
00:16:06.340 and it would look just like Stephen King made it.
00:16:09.040 It could borrow somebody's art technique without permission,
00:16:12.680 put it together in a cover, you know, borrow some other treatment of how to organize the titles,
00:16:20.900 which would also be copyrightable.
00:16:23.140 And it would just massively get around copyrights for you as an individual.
00:16:29.420 Now, the thing that makes a difference is how quickly and how fast it happens,
00:16:36.800 how easily it happens, and how undetectable it is.
00:16:41.440 So that's the big difference.
00:16:44.420 So I'm going to triple down on my prediction that lawyers and artists
00:16:50.460 who have copyrights to protect people like me
00:16:52.660 are going to make AI really trouble.
00:16:59.420 That's not a copyright violation.
00:17:01.800 There will be an argument that it is.
00:17:05.000 So your argument that it's not is off point.
00:17:10.500 The argument will be made that if you don't include this as a copyright violation,
00:17:15.520 there won't be any art by humans,
00:17:19.160 because all incentive will be gone.
00:17:23.320 All right.
00:17:23.740 And then, of course, lawyers will be replaced by AI.
00:17:31.060 Do you think it will be legal to do a contract entirely with AI and no human lawyer?
00:17:38.760 Well, let me tell you.
00:17:41.780 Maybe in the short run, in the long run, lawyers will make that illegal.
00:17:47.200 How about having AI as your only doctor?
00:17:49.420 In the short run, sure.
00:17:52.780 In the long run, the AMA will make sure that's illegal.
00:17:56.800 Because everybody's going to be protecting their little turf,
00:17:59.920 and they're going to hire lawyers to defend it.
00:18:03.240 So unless AI gets its own lawyer away, AI is a lawyer.
00:18:07.620 What if AI argued its own case to the Supreme Court?
00:18:13.300 Totally feasible.
00:18:14.980 AI could actually argue its own case at the Supreme Court.
00:18:18.040 That would be weird.
00:18:21.380 Wow.
00:18:23.760 Oh, I just want to correct something.
00:18:26.080 The other day, I was talking about a prediction that AI would have its own police force.
00:18:30.680 And some of you said, oh, that's like that movie, the Tom Cruise movie.
00:18:34.520 No.
00:18:35.520 No.
00:18:35.980 That's a completely different concept.
00:18:38.080 In the Tom Cruise movie, they use AI to have a human police force go get humans.
00:18:45.500 That's not what I'm talking about.
00:18:46.720 I'm talking about the criminals are the AI, and the police will be AI, and no human will
00:18:52.960 be involved directly.
00:18:54.680 The AI police will go after the AI criminals and, you know, trap them and turn them off.
00:19:00.340 So I just want to be clear.
00:19:02.260 There's no movie like that.
00:19:04.100 There is no movie like that.
00:19:05.860 No, it's not Minority Report.
00:19:08.800 Unless you're just reminding me of the movie it's not like.
00:19:12.060 If what you're doing is telling me it's not like Minority Report, then we're on the same page.
00:19:17.740 It's never like the movie.
00:19:21.640 All right.
00:19:23.120 So I took a look at the pitch for the app Rewind people were talking about.
00:19:28.960 So Rewind is another AI app, and what made this a story is that the founders put their
00:19:36.120 pitch online so you could actually see a pitch for investing in this company.
00:19:40.580 And it's really strong.
00:19:42.560 So part of the story is how good the pitch is.
00:19:45.220 But let me tell you the application.
00:19:48.300 The application is so smart.
00:19:51.320 I'm really impressed with it.
00:19:52.700 Now, I don't know the details of how it works technically, but here's what it does for you
00:19:57.040 as a person.
00:19:58.660 So I spend my day looking at all kinds of content and listening to people, et cetera.
00:20:04.320 And what it will do is it will keep track of all the things you looked at.
00:20:09.320 So it will know, for example, if I read a story about a new technology for removing carbon
00:20:16.300 from the air.
00:20:17.840 A week later, when I want to talk to somebody about that story I read, and I can't remember
00:20:23.120 where I saw it, I can just say to the AI, hey, you know, what was that thing about I
00:20:29.460 was talking about with, and it will actually reproduce the thing you looked at.
00:20:34.320 So basically, it will create an artificial memory of all the things you consumed, so
00:20:41.860 that any time you want to call back something you've consumed in the past, it will easily
00:20:46.020 find, oh, yeah, that if you remember the topic, so you could say, well, what was that story
00:20:51.500 about UFOs I saw last month?
00:20:53.780 Boom, it'll pop right up.
00:20:55.920 Now, browser history?
00:20:58.320 No, browser history is, you know, 1% of how cool this would be.
00:21:02.260 Now, nobody does that, though.
00:21:09.040 Nobody's going to go back and look at all the browser history.
00:21:11.940 They just won't do it.
00:21:13.520 And it's not just browser, by the way.
00:21:15.580 It's not just browser.
00:21:17.060 So it would be also within, let's say you opened an app.
00:21:21.520 I guess the browser would get all the app pages.
00:21:23.320 But it'll do much more than trace your history.
00:21:31.640 All right, Mike Pompeo is not running for president, after all.
00:21:35.760 I assume that has to do with getting no support whatsoever.
00:21:39.680 I'm kind of surprised.
00:21:40.920 I thought he was a stronger candidate than the rest of the public thought.
00:21:45.560 He lost weight for nothing.
00:21:49.580 Yeah.
00:21:50.340 Well, I don't think he had a chance of winning, so he made the right choice.
00:21:56.660 All right, there is a new...
00:21:58.560 I can't believe this.
00:22:01.800 There is new dash cam, not dash cam, body cam footage of Derek Chauvin,
00:22:07.720 who was convicted for killing George Floyd.
00:22:10.080 And there were two other instances where he did the same move on black people
00:22:15.260 who were resisting arrest in both cases.
00:22:19.320 So what are the odds that we would not have seen that until now?
00:22:25.620 How in the world was that not relevant to the George Floyd trial?
00:22:31.240 Wasn't that relevant?
00:22:34.820 Yeah, so his knee was on sort of the top of the back below the neck, right?
00:22:40.080 Now, here's the part of the story that gets interesting.
00:22:46.000 If you knew that he did the same move on two other black people,
00:22:51.060 and let's say that the jury in the George Floyd situation knew that,
00:22:55.980 would that be further evidence that he should be punished
00:22:59.200 because he had this trend of doing this move
00:23:02.140 and every time we saw it was against black people?
00:23:04.920 That would be pretty damning to a jury.
00:23:06.820 Or, or the opposite.
00:23:10.540 It showed that he used the same move on two other people
00:23:12.960 and they had no damage whatsoever.
00:23:15.940 No damage.
00:23:17.520 Zero, zero lasting damage.
00:23:20.320 Nobody was killed.
00:23:22.140 Doesn't that prove that whatever happened with Floyd
00:23:24.340 probably wasn't the move?
00:23:27.360 Yeah, don't you think that the existence of those two things
00:23:32.720 should be maybe something his lawyer should be taken up?
00:23:37.720 The fact that we have evidence he used it twice.
00:23:40.800 Because remember, the major part of the case,
00:23:44.960 if I understand this correctly,
00:23:47.280 the biggest central point of his conviction
00:23:50.460 is that he would have obviously known this could kill him.
00:23:54.240 The entire thing was based on,
00:23:58.120 did you know this would be dangerous?
00:24:01.300 Well, if he's done it in the past,
00:24:03.360 in maybe more than these cases that are on video,
00:24:06.800 he's probably done it a bunch of times.
00:24:09.160 In fact, he was doing it on video
00:24:11.660 right in front of a whole bunch of other officers
00:24:14.560 who were just standing around watching,
00:24:16.640 had no problem with it at all.
00:24:17.700 Well, I would think that if I saw those videos as a juror,
00:24:23.220 I would say to myself,
00:24:26.040 Derek Chauvin may have been doing the wrong technique
00:24:29.040 and the police department should deal with that, right?
00:24:32.040 So if he's using the wrong technique
00:24:33.620 or he's trained wrong,
00:24:34.780 I mean, that's a separate question.
00:24:36.520 But in his mind, was that dangerous?
00:24:40.700 And my answer would be,
00:24:41.860 it looks like it's something he does every day.
00:24:44.100 So no.
00:24:44.580 Now, if I were a juror,
00:24:46.520 I would have said,
00:24:47.160 he's now proven by multiple uses
00:24:49.940 that these people were fine.
00:24:51.840 Of course he would think
00:24:53.020 that George Floyd would be fine.
00:24:55.260 Of course he would.
00:24:57.540 Well, wouldn't you?
00:24:59.220 Because remember,
00:24:59.820 the two people he used it against,
00:25:01.700 allegedly, not allegedly,
00:25:02.920 because it's on video,
00:25:03.920 the other two people that he used it against
00:25:05.920 was a very slight,
00:25:08.500 you know, a skinny black man,
00:25:09.980 a young, skinny black man,
00:25:11.500 not nearly as big as George Floyd,
00:25:13.560 and a woman.
00:25:16.760 And neither the skinny black man
00:25:18.980 or the woman
00:25:20.100 were, you know,
00:25:22.860 injured in a permanent way.
00:25:24.840 Now, I believe one of,
00:25:27.060 I believe the man
00:25:28.000 was yelling the same way
00:25:29.900 that Floyd was.
00:25:31.560 Like, you're killing me,
00:25:32.740 you're killing me.
00:25:33.760 And then he was fine.
00:25:35.500 So probably every time
00:25:39.280 a police officer does
00:25:40.620 that kind of a move,
00:25:41.860 which, you know,
00:25:42.400 maybe they shouldn't do,
00:25:43.600 but probably everybody says that.
00:25:45.440 You're killing me,
00:25:46.180 you're killing me.
00:25:47.340 So if George Floyd was saying it,
00:25:49.360 it was probably the 10th time
00:25:50.600 he's heard somebody do that.
00:25:52.500 And he would just think,
00:25:53.860 eh,
00:25:54.280 that's what everybody does.
00:25:58.040 Ruben Tobias,
00:25:59.080 what made you hate black people.
00:26:01.640 In all caps.
00:26:02.980 I assume you're joking,
00:26:04.060 but I'm going to hide you
00:26:04.700 on this channel anyway.
00:26:12.540 All right.
00:26:14.580 LOL, come on, man.
00:26:16.900 Yeah, they all yell
00:26:18.020 about the cuffs being too tight,
00:26:19.700 and you're hurting my arm,
00:26:20.960 and that seems to be
00:26:22.360 basic stuff.
00:26:24.540 I can't breathe.
00:26:25.460 I think they say
00:26:26.080 I can't breathe
00:26:26.740 when you handcuff
00:26:28.780 their arms behind the back.
00:26:31.800 Yeah.
00:26:32.200 That's the trouble.
00:26:33.060 If you were a police officer,
00:26:34.260 how would you know
00:26:34.740 if anybody's being serious?
00:26:38.540 Watch the full video.
00:26:39.760 He was not applying pressure.
00:26:41.540 Well, you can't really tell
00:26:42.700 anything from videos.
00:26:44.360 If the one thing we know
00:26:45.340 is you can't tell
00:26:46.180 from the video.
00:26:48.300 Do you ever watch
00:26:49.080 NBA replays?
00:26:51.300 Where they're trying
00:26:51.880 to determine
00:26:52.460 if a foul occurred?
00:26:54.720 And even you can't tell
00:26:56.040 from five angles?
00:26:57.900 You know, even the experts
00:26:58.840 will be watching.
00:26:59.520 They go, okay,
00:26:59.860 let's watch it
00:27:00.380 from this angle.
00:27:01.540 Oh.
00:27:02.680 Well, I'm not sure
00:27:03.520 if that hand actually
00:27:04.660 hit him in the cheek or not.
00:27:06.480 It was close.
00:27:07.320 I can't tell.
00:27:08.640 The videos are really
00:27:09.580 tough to tell.
00:27:10.800 So if you think you know,
00:27:12.760 maybe you don't know.
00:27:16.080 All right.
00:27:16.900 So we mentioned this before,
00:27:18.600 but it's getting
00:27:19.160 weirder and weirder,
00:27:20.180 which is apparently
00:27:22.540 male sperm has declined
00:27:24.320 for 50 years in a row.
00:27:28.440 50 years in a row.
00:27:31.100 How in the world
00:27:32.280 do you explain that?
00:27:35.600 Well, if it's diet,
00:27:37.060 it wouldn't have started
00:27:37.780 50 years ago, would it?
00:27:39.820 Do you think 50 years ago
00:27:41.220 the diet was so bad
00:27:42.480 that that's when it started?
00:27:44.440 I think 50 years ago
00:27:45.520 the diet was the same
00:27:46.820 as it was 70 years ago.
00:27:50.240 I feel like it's the last
00:27:51.760 30 or 40 years
00:27:53.280 where the diet got terrible.
00:27:55.740 Was it processed foods?
00:27:57.920 Maybe.
00:27:58.600 Vaccinations maybe.
00:27:59.660 Maybe fluoride.
00:27:59.880 Maybe fluoride.
00:28:00.720 Maybe soy.
00:28:02.020 Maybe the food pyramid.
00:28:03.300 Maybe everybody's fatter.
00:28:04.860 Well, one of the theories is
00:28:06.260 men are less active.
00:28:08.000 Men do less physical labor.
00:28:09.660 And I think that's part of it.
00:28:12.740 I mean, if we know that
00:28:14.460 physical exercise
00:28:15.780 increases your testosterone
00:28:17.180 and people are sitting around more,
00:28:19.660 that's part of it.
00:28:20.720 But that wouldn't explain
00:28:21.600 why it's falling
00:28:22.160 for 50 years in a row.
00:28:24.720 It's got to be food.
00:28:26.880 What could it be
00:28:27.640 if not food?
00:28:29.800 Right?
00:28:30.840 It's got to be food.
00:28:33.960 Wouldn't you love
00:28:34.500 to see an experiment?
00:28:35.660 Or here's what I'd like to see.
00:28:36.700 There are some people
00:28:38.460 who eat right all the time.
00:28:43.460 Not many.
00:28:44.480 Very few people.
00:28:45.740 Wouldn't you like to see
00:28:46.620 a comparison
00:28:47.240 of the people
00:28:48.660 who have been eating right
00:28:49.680 since they were teenagers
00:28:50.780 with the people
00:28:52.680 who have never tried
00:28:53.980 to eat right?
00:28:55.100 And then adjust by weight.
00:28:57.600 Because there'll be some cases
00:28:58.840 where they're the same weight.
00:29:00.240 You know, some people
00:29:00.780 eat poorly,
00:29:01.500 but they're not fat.
00:29:03.920 So I'd like to see
00:29:04.880 two people who like
00:29:05.680 equal body mass index.
00:29:08.340 One of them eats
00:29:09.120 a lot of processed food.
00:29:10.400 One eats organic food.
00:29:13.760 Just see if there's a difference.
00:29:15.280 I imagine there would be
00:29:16.240 a big one.
00:29:17.520 Yeah, I worry about soy.
00:29:19.320 I don't have any science
00:29:20.680 behind that,
00:29:21.400 but I worry about it.
00:29:23.080 Sedentary lifestyle?
00:29:24.320 Maybe.
00:29:25.540 Maybe.
00:29:26.620 But don't you think
00:29:27.700 that the low testosterone
00:29:29.600 is primarily the cause
00:29:31.580 of low birth rates?
00:29:32.720 So I'm going to go
00:29:34.820 contrarian on you.
00:29:36.600 If I were to ask you
00:29:37.440 why the birth rates
00:29:38.560 are lower,
00:29:39.440 you would give social reasons
00:29:41.100 and economic reasons.
00:29:42.880 You would say,
00:29:43.740 we can't make enough money.
00:29:45.660 You'd say,
00:29:46.380 men and women
00:29:47.620 aren't as valuable
00:29:48.460 to each other.
00:29:50.040 You're going to give
00:29:50.720 all these social reasons
00:29:52.080 why things are different
00:29:53.240 socially and economically.
00:29:55.120 And I'm going to give you
00:29:56.300 my counter-argument.
00:29:57.260 If your body chemistry
00:29:59.380 told you to make babies,
00:30:00.700 you would go do it.
00:30:02.480 No matter how stupid it was.
00:30:05.000 No matter how stupid it was,
00:30:06.860 you would go making babies
00:30:08.100 if your body was telling you
00:30:09.660 to do it.
00:30:10.420 If your testosterone is low,
00:30:12.020 your body isn't telling you
00:30:12.940 to do it.
00:30:14.220 I mean,
00:30:14.460 it might enjoy the experience,
00:30:16.600 but I don't think
00:30:17.240 it's driving you
00:30:18.200 in an evolutionary,
00:30:19.720 biological way.
00:30:21.200 Like,
00:30:21.680 you're going to die
00:30:22.500 if you don't make a baby.
00:30:24.060 You know,
00:30:24.280 get in there.
00:30:25.120 Every chance you get,
00:30:26.360 you've got to,
00:30:26.700 get in there.
00:30:28.960 Yeah.
00:30:29.440 I believe that
00:30:30.340 the low testosterone
00:30:31.340 is the direct cause
00:30:33.620 of lower family making
00:30:36.140 and baby making.
00:30:38.240 That's my ulterior hypothesis.
00:30:43.240 What do you think?
00:30:44.760 You buy that?
00:30:45.800 I think all the social stuff
00:30:47.420 looks like it's the reason,
00:30:49.520 but it's the outcome
00:30:50.440 of people not having
00:30:51.380 the right chemistry.
00:30:52.640 If we had the right chemistry,
00:30:53.960 we wouldn't care
00:30:54.720 how much money we had.
00:30:55.640 We'd just be making babies
00:30:57.660 because the chemistry
00:30:59.180 would override
00:31:00.280 your mental process.
00:31:01.920 If your mental process
00:31:03.360 is telling you
00:31:03.900 to have a baby,
00:31:05.080 your testosterone
00:31:05.880 is too low.
00:31:08.480 Let me say that again.
00:31:10.480 If your brain
00:31:11.780 is involved
00:31:12.440 in whether or not
00:31:13.160 you're having a baby,
00:31:14.420 let's say you're an adult
00:31:15.320 and you're married,
00:31:16.560 if your brain
00:31:17.280 is what's involved,
00:31:18.240 as in,
00:31:18.520 well,
00:31:19.400 okay,
00:31:19.680 I think my income
00:31:20.660 will be this much
00:31:21.660 and a kid
00:31:22.800 costs this much,
00:31:23.920 hmm,
00:31:24.500 I think I'll only do one
00:31:26.120 because I can't afford
00:31:26.920 a second.
00:31:28.660 I believe that
00:31:29.540 if you put women
00:31:30.260 on birth control
00:31:31.180 and then you lower
00:31:32.740 men's testosterone,
00:31:34.840 they'll use their brain
00:31:36.300 to decide
00:31:37.580 whether they want a baby.
00:31:39.700 But if you took away
00:31:40.740 all the chemical impacts,
00:31:43.520 they would say,
00:31:44.380 I don't care
00:31:44.780 if I have enough baby,
00:31:45.800 I don't care
00:31:46.600 if I have enough money,
00:31:47.740 I don't care
00:31:48.160 if I have enough time,
00:31:49.040 I don't care
00:31:50.000 if the world
00:31:50.460 is ending
00:31:50.840 from climate change,
00:31:52.240 I'm just going
00:31:52.840 to have some babies.
00:31:55.020 That's my understanding
00:31:56.220 of human nature.
00:31:58.620 All right.
00:32:01.080 Bill Maher
00:32:01.960 can see
00:32:03.660 half of the field
00:32:04.780 and sometimes
00:32:06.300 more of it,
00:32:07.220 so he impresses me
00:32:08.840 as being unusually
00:32:10.960 open to arguments
00:32:13.000 on all sides,
00:32:14.440 but he has
00:32:15.520 this weak spot
00:32:16.600 which I'm going
00:32:17.780 to call out.
00:32:18.340 So he does
00:32:19.340 point out
00:32:19.800 that the Democrats
00:32:21.660 are probably
00:32:22.560 misjudging
00:32:23.320 the whole
00:32:23.700 Stormy Daniels
00:32:24.720 situation.
00:32:25.900 If they think
00:32:26.520 it's going to
00:32:26.960 stop Trump,
00:32:27.720 they might be wrong.
00:32:29.320 And Bill Maher
00:32:29.980 points out
00:32:30.900 that to the public,
00:32:33.320 it's going to look
00:32:33.960 like Bill Clinton's
00:32:34.960 situation
00:32:35.420 with Monica Lewinsky.
00:32:37.380 And apparently
00:32:38.180 Clinton had
00:32:38.940 the highest ratings,
00:32:40.480 approval ratings
00:32:41.140 he's ever had
00:32:41.980 after everything
00:32:44.200 came out
00:32:44.760 with Monica Lewinsky.
00:32:46.460 His approval
00:32:47.120 went up.
00:32:48.340 Because it looked
00:32:49.120 like he was
00:32:49.580 being unfairly
00:32:50.340 attacked for
00:32:51.080 something that
00:32:51.600 wasn't necessarily
00:32:52.420 too related to
00:32:53.800 governing.
00:32:55.180 So it just seemed
00:32:55.980 like an unfair
00:32:56.560 attack.
00:32:57.300 That's what the
00:32:58.080 Stormy Daniels
00:32:58.860 thing looks like.
00:33:00.100 It looks like
00:33:00.700 it's not related
00:33:01.440 to the law.
00:33:03.160 It looks like
00:33:03.740 it's not related
00:33:04.520 to governing.
00:33:05.800 It looks like
00:33:06.620 just a way to
00:33:07.360 get one guy.
00:33:08.920 So Bill Maher
00:33:10.100 is warning
00:33:11.140 that the Stormy
00:33:12.320 Daniels attack
00:33:13.100 might make
00:33:14.120 Trump more
00:33:14.960 popular.
00:33:15.960 Do you agree?
00:33:17.940 Do you think
00:33:18.340 the Stormy Daniels
00:33:19.500 legal jeopardy
00:33:21.580 will make him
00:33:22.680 more popular?
00:33:24.000 I think so.
00:33:25.720 Now,
00:33:26.240 it won't make him
00:33:26.880 less popular.
00:33:28.640 That's the part
00:33:29.340 I'm sure of.
00:33:30.180 It won't make him
00:33:30.860 less popular.
00:33:31.680 If it makes him
00:33:32.420 more popular,
00:33:33.120 it might be
00:33:33.500 temporary or a
00:33:34.300 little bit.
00:33:35.080 But it certainly
00:33:36.000 plays into his
00:33:37.000 narrative perfectly
00:33:37.880 that the Democrats
00:33:40.200 are evil
00:33:40.740 and trying to
00:33:41.860 hunt Republicans
00:33:43.220 and he's just
00:33:44.100 the one who's
00:33:44.620 standing in the
00:33:45.120 way.
00:33:45.740 So it very much
00:33:46.560 goes to his
00:33:47.100 own narrative.
00:33:48.620 However,
00:33:49.440 here's where I'm
00:33:50.200 going to disagree
00:33:50.780 with Bill Maher
00:33:52.020 and I think he's
00:33:53.260 got a gigantic
00:33:54.200 blind spot.
00:33:56.360 Or I do.
00:33:57.640 To be fair,
00:33:58.400 I can't tell the
00:33:59.100 difference, right?
00:33:59.980 So one of us
00:34:00.820 has a giant
00:34:01.400 blind spot,
00:34:02.320 but I'll let you
00:34:02.740 be the judge.
00:34:04.260 So what Bill
00:34:05.980 Maher says is
00:34:07.080 he's discriminated
00:34:07.880 against the
00:34:08.300 stormy thing
00:34:08.960 as useful for
00:34:10.200 getting rid of
00:34:10.700 Trump, which
00:34:11.620 it looks like
00:34:12.160 he'd like to do.
00:34:13.480 And he said,
00:34:14.340 but Democrats
00:34:14.980 didn't have to
00:34:15.680 do this,
00:34:16.320 meaning pursue
00:34:17.320 the stormy
00:34:17.920 thing.
00:34:18.840 Trump commits
00:34:19.680 real crimes.
00:34:21.500 Now, what are
00:34:21.960 the real crimes?
00:34:23.700 What are the
00:34:24.380 real crimes that
00:34:25.380 Bill Maher says,
00:34:26.240 ah, ignore those
00:34:28.040 not real crimes,
00:34:29.040 go after them for
00:34:29.580 the real stuff.
00:34:30.300 Okay, here's the
00:34:30.860 real stuff.
00:34:32.460 He pressured
00:34:33.320 state election
00:34:33.980 officials to fix
00:34:35.040 an election on
00:34:35.720 tape.
00:34:36.020 Is that real?
00:34:39.620 That's not even
00:34:40.340 close to real.
00:34:42.200 He literally
00:34:42.740 said, find
00:34:43.720 votes in the
00:34:44.640 context of
00:34:45.500 thinking they
00:34:46.000 were miscounted.
00:34:47.760 There's not a
00:34:48.720 single bit of
00:34:49.400 evidence suggesting
00:34:50.340 he didn't believe
00:34:51.840 there was a
00:34:52.280 miscount.
00:34:52.840 He did believe
00:34:53.520 there was a
00:34:53.940 miscount.
00:34:54.840 He completely
00:34:55.580 believed it,
00:34:56.060 and he believes
00:34:56.560 it now.
00:34:57.360 He has been
00:34:57.900 completely consistent
00:34:59.080 from day one
00:35:00.000 that the election
00:35:01.240 was miscounted.
00:35:02.260 So when he
00:35:03.200 asked them to
00:35:03.760 find votes,
00:35:04.920 there's no
00:35:05.740 jury in the
00:35:06.540 world.
00:35:07.780 No jury in
00:35:08.660 the world is
00:35:09.600 going to think
00:35:10.060 that was
00:35:10.420 anything except
00:35:11.460 wanting the
00:35:12.840 vote to be
00:35:13.360 counted correctly
00:35:14.140 because he
00:35:14.560 thought it was
00:35:14.940 miscounted.
00:35:16.440 Now, how
00:35:18.440 would you ever
00:35:19.820 get 12
00:35:20.440 jurors to
00:35:22.040 think that
00:35:22.540 find the
00:35:23.320 votes means
00:35:25.440 invent the
00:35:26.220 votes?
00:35:26.860 You're not
00:35:27.400 going to do
00:35:27.740 that.
00:35:28.600 That's not a
00:35:29.180 thing.
00:35:30.320 Maybe in
00:35:30.740 Atlanta.
00:35:33.920 And how
00:35:34.740 about he
00:35:35.500 refused to
00:35:36.140 concede the
00:35:36.620 elections and
00:35:37.280 thereby incited
00:35:38.160 insurrection?
00:35:39.600 What?
00:35:41.020 It's perfectly
00:35:42.180 legal to
00:35:44.800 refuse to
00:35:45.420 concede an
00:35:45.980 election.
00:35:46.760 That is not
00:35:47.640 a crime.
00:35:49.500 And if on
00:35:50.320 top of that
00:35:50.960 you encourage
00:35:52.020 your protesting
00:35:53.880 supporters to
00:35:54.760 be peaceful,
00:35:56.020 that's double
00:35:57.080 not a crime.
00:35:58.380 That is closer
00:35:59.200 to trying to
00:36:00.060 prevent a
00:36:01.440 crime.
00:36:02.780 He's guilty
00:36:03.420 of trying to
00:36:04.160 prevent a
00:36:04.860 crime by
00:36:05.580 telling his
00:36:06.080 people to
00:36:07.280 be peaceful.
00:36:08.980 That's the
00:36:09.600 worst that is.
00:36:11.040 Guilty of
00:36:11.620 trying to
00:36:12.200 prevent a
00:36:12.800 crime based
00:36:13.900 on the
00:36:14.220 information.
00:36:15.840 Now, do
00:36:16.400 you think that
00:36:16.960 Bill Maher
00:36:17.420 actually sees
00:36:18.460 these as
00:36:19.260 legal jeopardy?
00:36:21.100 Do you
00:36:21.580 think that in
00:36:22.080 his real
00:36:23.000 private moment
00:36:23.780 he thinks,
00:36:24.320 oh, we've
00:36:24.800 got him now.
00:36:25.880 Can't wait to
00:36:26.520 get to the
00:36:26.920 good stuff.
00:36:27.440 Now, he
00:36:29.440 didn't mention
00:36:30.780 the box
00:36:32.220 hoax, you
00:36:33.860 know, the
00:36:34.140 boxes at
00:36:34.860 Mar-a-Lago,
00:36:35.800 which makes
00:36:36.560 me suspect
00:36:37.720 that Bill
00:36:39.020 Maher does
00:36:39.540 understand that
00:36:40.260 the box
00:36:40.780 stuff is
00:36:41.520 BS and
00:36:43.160 that it
00:36:43.540 won't amount
00:36:44.680 to anything.
00:36:45.420 Or if it
00:36:45.900 does amount
00:36:46.320 to something,
00:36:47.380 it won't be
00:36:47.920 worse than
00:36:48.580 what Joe
00:36:49.620 Biden's
00:36:50.060 looking at.
00:36:51.460 So, I
00:36:53.120 feel like
00:36:53.680 Bill Maher
00:36:54.440 is capable
00:36:55.880 of seeing
00:36:56.480 almost the
00:36:57.360 whole field,
00:36:58.740 but when
00:36:59.500 Trump is
00:37:00.020 involved, he
00:37:00.660 imagines that
00:37:01.360 there's a
00:37:01.780 crime when
00:37:02.280 there's not.
00:37:03.340 Not even
00:37:03.820 close to it.
00:37:05.220 I mean, if
00:37:05.640 this were a
00:37:06.380 toss-up, I'd
00:37:07.020 tell you.
00:37:07.880 If this were
00:37:08.460 like a jump
00:37:09.420 ball or a
00:37:10.220 50-50, maybe
00:37:11.620 it's a crime,
00:37:12.480 maybe it's not,
00:37:13.120 I can't tell,
00:37:14.200 but it's nothing
00:37:14.880 like that.
00:37:16.020 This is not
00:37:16.580 even in the
00:37:17.200 general zip code
00:37:18.260 of the right
00:37:18.900 county to be
00:37:20.280 a crime.
00:37:21.240 And I can't
00:37:21.660 believe that
00:37:22.200 that's not
00:37:23.600 obvious to
00:37:24.140 somebody as
00:37:24.800 open-minded as
00:37:25.600 Bill Maher.
00:37:27.680 Because he
00:37:28.280 does genuinely
00:37:29.000 have a
00:37:29.900 functional brain.
00:37:31.600 Unlike a lot
00:37:32.420 of people who
00:37:33.000 do his kind
00:37:34.000 of work, he
00:37:34.920 actually can
00:37:35.720 consider all
00:37:36.340 the points,
00:37:37.700 which is
00:37:38.260 strange and
00:37:39.640 beautiful at
00:37:40.120 the same
00:37:40.420 time.
00:37:43.240 All right,
00:37:44.040 here's what
00:37:45.320 California is
00:37:46.100 proposing to
00:37:46.760 do with our
00:37:47.380 energy bills.
00:37:49.000 They're going
00:37:49.340 to make the
00:37:49.720 amount that
00:37:50.220 you pay for
00:37:50.760 your electric
00:37:51.340 bill based
00:37:52.860 on your
00:37:53.240 income.
00:37:55.600 Oh, my
00:37:59.180 goodness.
00:38:00.480 It's like
00:38:01.080 California is
00:38:01.900 trying to
00:38:02.420 drive out
00:38:03.100 anybody who
00:38:03.800 would pay
00:38:04.120 taxes.
00:38:06.280 Can you
00:38:07.020 imagine me
00:38:07.800 staying in
00:38:08.440 California if
00:38:10.040 I have to
00:38:10.480 pay for
00:38:11.100 everybody else's
00:38:11.860 electricity, which
00:38:12.940 is what they're
00:38:13.400 asking, and
00:38:15.040 also have to
00:38:15.620 pay reparations?
00:38:18.620 Are you
00:38:19.400 kidding?
00:38:19.640 I mean, it's
00:38:21.380 almost like a
00:38:22.460 joke now.
00:38:23.760 It's like they're
00:38:24.500 actually trying to
00:38:25.360 find one reason
00:38:26.220 after another to
00:38:27.600 make anybody
00:38:28.340 leave who is
00:38:29.460 white or Asian
00:38:31.040 American and
00:38:31.720 rich, including
00:38:34.440 Indian American,
00:38:35.360 I guess.
00:38:36.480 So it's just
00:38:38.640 insane.
00:38:41.020 And they're
00:38:41.740 doing it in the
00:38:42.340 name of equity,
00:38:43.460 of course, and
00:38:44.320 making sure that
00:38:45.940 everybody gets
00:38:47.580 electricity, and
00:38:48.720 that's good.
00:38:50.140 I want everybody
00:38:50.840 to have
00:38:51.140 electricity.
00:38:52.200 But do you
00:38:52.640 know why the
00:38:52.980 electricity costs
00:38:53.820 so much?
00:38:55.400 Do you think
00:38:56.020 that was my
00:38:56.540 fault?
00:38:57.740 Am I
00:38:58.160 responsible for
00:38:59.060 California's
00:38:59.920 electricity, because
00:39:00.800 I made a lot
00:39:01.900 of money?
00:39:03.160 No.
00:39:05.140 California closed
00:39:06.080 their nuclear
00:39:06.580 plants, and
00:39:08.320 they didn't build
00:39:08.900 new ones.
00:39:10.500 California
00:39:11.060 screwed this
00:39:12.220 up, and
00:39:12.740 they're giving
00:39:13.100 me the bill.
00:39:15.400 California
00:39:15.960 screwed this
00:39:17.560 up, and
00:39:18.560 they're signing
00:39:19.080 the bill to
00:39:19.740 me, probably
00:39:23.580 because I'm
00:39:24.100 white.
00:39:26.200 So to me, this
00:39:27.200 looks like racism,
00:39:29.220 because if you
00:39:31.260 were to look at
00:39:31.800 the number of
00:39:32.960 people who are
00:39:33.440 going to pay
00:39:33.840 more for energy,
00:39:35.620 and then you
00:39:36.080 look at the
00:39:36.600 people who pay
00:39:37.420 less under this
00:39:38.240 plan, it is
00:39:39.660 very clearly
00:39:40.400 skewed toward
00:39:41.400 low income,
00:39:42.360 which is, for
00:39:43.760 other reasons,
00:39:44.720 skewed highly
00:39:45.520 toward people of
00:39:46.380 color.
00:39:47.600 So this is a
00:39:48.800 purely racist
00:39:49.560 change, and
00:39:51.820 it literally is
00:39:52.620 just shifting the
00:39:53.340 burden from one
00:39:54.820 selection of
00:39:56.940 races to
00:39:57.440 another, primarily.
00:39:59.600 I mean,
00:40:00.080 obviously,
00:40:00.840 individuals are
00:40:01.640 lots of
00:40:02.100 exceptions, but
00:40:03.440 the racial
00:40:04.340 impact of this
00:40:05.020 is huge, isn't
00:40:05.740 it?
00:40:06.340 Is this not a
00:40:07.560 huge racial...
00:40:10.020 Yeah.
00:40:10.660 It's like
00:40:11.640 stealth
00:40:12.260 reparations.
00:40:15.740 Speaking of
00:40:16.480 which, I
00:40:17.740 tweeted this
00:40:18.320 because I
00:40:18.820 never really
00:40:19.800 thought of it
00:40:20.240 this way, but
00:40:20.820 you know what
00:40:21.400 collective
00:40:21.820 punishment is,
00:40:22.680 right?
00:40:23.600 It's a war
00:40:24.540 crime.
00:40:26.020 So collective
00:40:26.580 punishment would
00:40:27.380 be if you're
00:40:29.980 in a war, and
00:40:31.940 instead of just
00:40:33.200 shooting the
00:40:34.160 enemy combatants,
00:40:36.400 you decide to
00:40:37.140 punish everybody
00:40:37.800 in the town
00:40:38.520 because they,
00:40:40.100 let's say,
00:40:40.520 they protected
00:40:41.320 the people you
00:40:42.520 were trying to
00:40:42.980 get.
00:40:43.920 So you want to
00:40:44.740 make sure the
00:40:45.180 next town doesn't
00:40:46.140 protect any of
00:40:47.260 their enemies, so
00:40:48.620 you just kill
00:40:49.200 everybody in the
00:40:49.880 town so that the
00:40:51.620 next town gets
00:40:52.280 the idea that
00:40:53.460 even if you're
00:40:53.980 not in the
00:40:54.440 military, we're
00:40:55.580 going to get
00:40:55.940 you to.
00:40:56.720 So that's
00:40:57.100 collective
00:40:57.500 punishment.
00:40:58.260 Now, it
00:40:58.520 doesn't have to
00:40:59.040 be limited to
00:40:59.960 killing.
00:41:01.120 I just used
00:41:01.760 that example.
00:41:02.820 So anytime
00:41:03.240 you're punishing
00:41:05.600 the population
00:41:06.680 for the actions
00:41:08.680 of some
00:41:09.760 specific number
00:41:10.940 of people,
00:41:11.760 that's called
00:41:12.240 collective
00:41:12.680 punishment, and
00:41:14.300 it is generally
00:41:14.800 considered either
00:41:15.600 a war crime, if
00:41:16.680 it's in the
00:41:17.020 war, or at
00:41:18.220 least unethical
00:41:18.940 and immoral.
00:41:20.180 Would you
00:41:20.540 agree that it's
00:41:22.960 immoral?
00:41:24.220 I mean, obviously
00:41:25.020 immoral.
00:41:26.440 But my problem
00:41:27.380 is that that's
00:41:27.880 what reparations
00:41:28.600 are, given
00:41:30.400 that the people
00:41:31.880 who are the
00:41:32.540 victims, the
00:41:33.460 direct victims,
00:41:34.340 direct victims,
00:41:35.540 are no longer
00:41:36.440 with us, and
00:41:37.140 the direct
00:41:37.920 cause of it,
00:41:40.000 the slave
00:41:40.880 owners and
00:41:42.200 traders, are
00:41:42.980 no longer
00:41:43.440 with us.
00:41:44.640 So my
00:41:45.840 family is
00:41:47.980 descended from
00:41:48.720 people who
00:41:49.260 either weren't
00:41:50.000 here, just
00:41:51.120 weren't even
00:41:51.580 here, when
00:41:53.200 any slavery
00:41:53.760 happened, or
00:41:54.600 they were on
00:41:55.200 the side of
00:41:55.780 the north,
00:41:56.720 meaning that
00:41:57.240 they were
00:41:57.660 actually fighting
00:41:59.100 and dying to
00:41:59.700 end slavery,
00:42:00.760 among other
00:42:01.220 things.
00:42:01.520 So, in
00:42:04.360 my opinion,
00:42:05.660 reparations are
00:42:06.480 collective
00:42:07.140 punishment,
00:42:08.840 because it
00:42:10.320 primarily would
00:42:11.420 punish people
00:42:12.580 who had nothing
00:42:13.020 to do with
00:42:13.440 anything.
00:42:14.920 And I don't
00:42:15.880 believe, and
00:42:17.100 the argument
00:42:17.920 that I got
00:42:18.520 against this,
00:42:20.580 the argument
00:42:22.420 against it
00:42:22.940 was, no,
00:42:23.900 Scott,
00:42:24.980 reparations are
00:42:25.780 different.
00:42:27.840 Do you know
00:42:28.380 what that is?
00:42:30.100 That's word
00:42:31.020 thinking.
00:42:32.360 They say,
00:42:33.040 wait a minute,
00:42:33.640 wait a minute,
00:42:34.000 the words are
00:42:34.660 different, so
00:42:35.620 therefore that's
00:42:36.240 the end of my
00:42:36.680 conversation.
00:42:37.960 No, reparations
00:42:38.600 is a different
00:42:39.140 word than
00:42:40.600 collective
00:42:40.980 punishment.
00:42:41.720 So one's
00:42:42.540 reparations, and
00:42:43.460 the other's
00:42:43.800 collective
00:42:44.140 punishment.
00:42:45.140 So therefore
00:42:45.680 they're not
00:42:46.060 the same,
00:42:46.560 because words
00:42:47.080 are different.
00:42:48.600 That's actually
00:42:49.260 the best pushback
00:42:50.120 I got, is that
00:42:50.800 the words are
00:42:51.280 different.
00:42:52.020 No, you're
00:42:52.700 missing the
00:42:53.080 point.
00:42:53.880 The concept
00:42:54.440 is the same.
00:42:55.660 I know the
00:42:56.140 words are
00:42:56.560 different.
00:42:58.140 I understand
00:42:58.960 the words are
00:42:59.720 different.
00:43:00.620 The concept's
00:43:01.340 the same.
00:43:02.260 You're
00:43:02.520 punishing
00:43:02.840 people, and
00:43:04.160 it is
00:43:04.460 punishment, by
00:43:05.780 the way.
00:43:07.020 It is
00:43:07.400 punishment, because
00:43:09.620 well, it just
00:43:13.020 obviously is.
00:43:13.980 It's not just
00:43:14.900 money owed, it's
00:43:16.500 punishment.
00:43:16.860 the reason
00:43:18.780 anybody who is
00:43:20.720 potentially going
00:43:22.000 to pay
00:43:22.320 reparations, the
00:43:23.400 only reason they
00:43:24.140 would consider
00:43:24.760 it is because
00:43:26.340 of some feeling
00:43:27.180 of guilt and
00:43:28.640 some feeling that
00:43:29.320 they should be
00:43:30.040 punished.
00:43:31.740 That if you
00:43:32.860 punish the
00:43:34.660 innocent people
00:43:35.420 enough, the
00:43:37.420 other people
00:43:38.060 will feel
00:43:38.520 better.
00:43:39.480 So we've
00:43:39.740 got to punish
00:43:40.940 more innocent
00:43:41.600 people who had
00:43:42.740 nothing to do
00:43:43.320 with anything by
00:43:43.940 taking their
00:43:44.420 money.
00:43:48.540 So, yeah, that's
00:43:50.640 going to be my
00:43:51.080 standard of
00:43:51.600 reparations.
00:43:52.280 Collective
00:43:52.620 punishment is
00:43:53.700 immoral, and
00:43:55.040 I'm not really
00:43:55.600 going to debate
00:43:56.380 it more than
00:43:56.940 that.
00:43:58.140 Collective
00:43:58.620 punishment is
00:43:59.600 immoral.
00:44:03.140 All right, let's
00:44:05.060 talk about
00:44:05.420 fentanyl.
00:44:06.640 So the news is
00:44:07.920 that allegedly
00:44:08.720 the Biden
00:44:09.900 administration is
00:44:11.460 getting super
00:44:12.060 serious about
00:44:12.880 going after
00:44:13.440 fentanyl.
00:44:15.140 Now, there
00:44:16.400 are a whole
00:44:16.600 bunch of
00:44:17.080 things involved
00:44:17.720 here, including
00:44:18.780 a bunch of
00:44:21.240 indictments
00:44:22.520 against the
00:44:24.620 Sinaloa
00:44:25.180 cartel, the
00:44:26.640 kids of El
00:44:27.760 Chapo.
00:44:28.280 I guess there
00:44:28.640 were three
00:44:28.940 kids of El
00:44:29.500 Chapo who
00:44:30.020 took over the
00:44:30.500 operation.
00:44:31.840 And so he's
00:44:33.180 going to go
00:44:33.560 after them, he's
00:44:34.480 going after
00:44:34.860 dozens of
00:44:35.500 other people,
00:44:36.600 they're going
00:44:37.000 after Chinese
00:44:37.960 precursor chemical
00:44:39.520 makers, they've
00:44:41.440 got rewards,
00:44:42.620 really big
00:44:43.140 rewards, like
00:44:43.920 multi-million
00:44:44.500 dollar rewards
00:44:45.280 for information
00:44:46.620 on the
00:44:47.000 conviction of
00:44:48.140 27 individuals
00:44:49.260 including high
00:44:50.300 level members
00:44:51.320 of the
00:44:51.680 Sinaloa
00:44:52.100 cartel.
00:44:54.300 Now, here's
00:44:54.840 my question.
00:44:56.740 Is any of
00:44:57.840 that real?
00:44:59.860 Because it
00:45:00.520 doesn't feel
00:45:01.100 real.
00:45:03.780 None of it
00:45:04.600 feels real.
00:45:06.120 Meaning that
00:45:07.120 I don't think
00:45:08.120 we have access
00:45:08.720 to any of
00:45:09.300 those people.
00:45:09.760 people, and
00:45:11.040 there's nothing
00:45:11.500 we can do
00:45:12.020 in China.
00:45:14.200 So it looks
00:45:15.560 like window
00:45:16.120 dressing to
00:45:16.740 me.
00:45:17.660 I'll tell you
00:45:18.340 what would
00:45:18.660 look real.
00:45:20.200 We've sent
00:45:20.920 our special
00:45:21.440 forces to
00:45:22.140 the border,
00:45:23.340 we gave
00:45:23.920 Mexico 48
00:45:25.460 hours to
00:45:26.860 turn off the
00:45:27.480 fentanyl trade,
00:45:28.740 and at the
00:45:29.200 end of that
00:45:29.660 we're just
00:45:30.700 going to
00:45:30.940 mow the
00:45:31.260 lawn.
00:45:32.620 Not of
00:45:33.880 innocent people,
00:45:35.100 of course,
00:45:35.500 but we know
00:45:36.480 where the
00:45:37.040 cartel
00:45:37.580 operations are
00:45:38.420 and we're
00:45:39.140 just going
00:45:39.480 to destroy
00:45:40.680 all of them
00:45:41.280 for as long
00:45:42.060 as it takes
00:45:42.540 forever.
00:45:43.720 It's a
00:45:44.100 permanent war,
00:45:44.860 we're going
00:45:45.100 to blow up
00:45:45.560 everything that
00:45:46.200 looks like
00:45:46.580 fentanyl
00:45:47.040 forever.
00:45:48.100 Now, that
00:45:48.440 would be
00:45:48.720 serious.
00:45:50.000 That would
00:45:50.360 be serious.
00:45:51.640 But
00:45:52.040 indictments
00:45:53.360 about people
00:45:54.240 we can't
00:45:54.720 get a hold
00:45:55.140 of,
00:45:56.500 I don't
00:45:57.980 know,
00:45:58.380 that doesn't
00:45:58.880 seem too
00:45:59.300 serious to
00:45:59.880 me,
00:46:00.300 honestly.
00:46:01.620 It looks
00:46:02.240 like they're
00:46:02.600 just preparing
00:46:03.180 for the
00:46:03.600 election so
00:46:04.660 they can say,
00:46:05.280 oh yeah,
00:46:05.660 we did a
00:46:06.020 bunch of
00:46:06.300 things.
00:46:07.140 Look at us
00:46:07.740 doing all
00:46:08.240 these legal
00:46:09.020 things on
00:46:09.560 paper.
00:46:10.640 Look at all
00:46:11.060 the paper we
00:46:11.740 moved around.
00:46:13.140 Our paper is
00:46:13.880 awesome, but
00:46:15.220 it's just
00:46:15.540 going to be
00:46:15.840 paper.
00:46:17.220 I don't see
00:46:18.100 anything real
00:46:18.880 that's connected
00:46:21.200 to what they've
00:46:21.900 announced.
00:46:22.700 So I'm going
00:46:23.160 to say it
00:46:25.000 looks fake to
00:46:25.840 me.
00:46:26.920 It doesn't
00:46:27.680 look real at
00:46:28.200 all.
00:46:28.840 We do have
00:46:29.660 El Chapo,
00:46:31.440 but suppose
00:46:32.820 we caught
00:46:33.380 two out of
00:46:34.080 three of his
00:46:34.780 sons, it
00:46:35.840 wouldn't make
00:46:36.200 any difference.
00:46:37.700 Suppose we
00:46:38.260 caught all of
00:46:38.760 them, it
00:46:38.980 wouldn't make
00:46:39.280 any difference.
00:46:40.160 There's always
00:46:40.660 somebody who's
00:46:41.340 next in line.
00:46:43.000 If we get
00:46:43.520 27 people, I
00:46:44.960 don't know that
00:46:45.520 that would make
00:46:45.880 any difference.
00:46:47.700 And it's not
00:46:48.400 the people.
00:46:49.080 You need to
00:46:49.560 just blow up
00:46:50.420 all their
00:46:51.200 assets and
00:46:53.040 anywhere you
00:46:53.720 see them.
00:46:54.620 Like if you
00:46:55.120 saw an
00:46:56.000 armed band
00:46:57.020 of Sinaloa
00:46:58.080 people, it
00:46:59.120 wouldn't matter
00:46:59.520 what they're
00:46:59.880 doing.
00:47:01.060 Just kill
00:47:01.560 them all.
00:47:03.560 I mean, that
00:47:04.100 would look
00:47:04.400 serious.
00:47:05.160 But I
00:47:05.580 don't think
00:47:05.880 any of
00:47:06.120 that's going
00:47:06.420 to happen
00:47:06.720 unless a
00:47:09.320 Republican
00:47:09.660 becomes
00:47:10.140 president.
00:47:10.860 And then
00:47:11.100 there's a
00:47:11.380 good chance.
00:47:13.080 With a
00:47:13.580 Republican
00:47:13.940 president, I
00:47:14.580 think there
00:47:14.880 would be
00:47:15.120 actual physical
00:47:16.300 action.
00:47:17.680 Now, what
00:47:18.000 do you think
00:47:18.360 we can do
00:47:18.880 to anybody
00:47:19.400 in China?
00:47:21.740 What in
00:47:22.220 the world,
00:47:23.120 how in the
00:47:23.640 world is that
00:47:24.160 going to help?
00:47:25.000 Because China
00:47:25.520 is obviously
00:47:26.020 just ignoring
00:47:26.700 us on this
00:47:27.400 and doing
00:47:28.100 their little
00:47:28.460 workarounds.
00:47:29.120 make no
00:47:30.380 difference at
00:47:30.780 all.
00:47:33.760 All right.
00:47:36.340 Well, that
00:47:39.540 is my rant
00:47:40.180 for the day.
00:47:41.080 Is there
00:47:41.380 anything I'm
00:47:41.820 missing today?
00:47:45.600 So let me
00:47:46.500 answer Don's
00:47:47.500 question.
00:47:48.860 The war on
00:47:49.940 drugs.
00:47:50.960 Do you
00:47:51.340 believe that
00:47:51.980 comparing
00:47:52.600 fighting fentanyl
00:47:54.460 is analogous
00:47:56.540 to the war
00:47:57.160 on drugs
00:47:57.840 that just
00:47:58.840 say no?
00:47:59.980 Do you
00:48:00.420 think those
00:48:00.840 have anything
00:48:01.280 in common
00:48:01.780 other than
00:48:02.500 there's a
00:48:02.860 drug involved?
00:48:04.220 I would say
00:48:04.640 there's nothing
00:48:05.100 in common.
00:48:06.480 That would be
00:48:06.920 the worst
00:48:07.500 reasoning of
00:48:08.280 all time is
00:48:09.080 that the
00:48:09.820 drug war
00:48:10.620 hasn't worked
00:48:11.320 yet.
00:48:12.560 That is not
00:48:13.620 a logical
00:48:14.420 or reasonable
00:48:15.200 argument.
00:48:16.760 Because there's
00:48:18.160 been nothing
00:48:18.700 like this.
00:48:20.620 And we've
00:48:21.300 never attacked
00:48:22.080 a military
00:48:24.380 attack a
00:48:25.340 country to
00:48:28.020 get rid of
00:48:28.460 their drug
00:48:29.080 operation.
00:48:30.520 We don't
00:48:30.900 know if it
00:48:31.260 will work,
00:48:32.540 but you
00:48:33.080 can't say
00:48:33.620 that we
00:48:34.000 already know
00:48:34.460 it won't.
00:48:38.280 Did I
00:48:38.940 forget to
00:48:39.400 take my
00:48:39.740 medicine?
00:48:40.680 No, I'm
00:48:41.380 actually in
00:48:41.960 my correct
00:48:43.000 mind today.
00:48:47.820 I heard
00:48:48.500 somebody say
00:48:49.040 that San
00:48:49.500 Francisco is
00:48:50.280 actually much
00:48:50.940 better than
00:48:51.400 Twitter says
00:48:52.000 it is.
00:48:53.300 Has
00:48:53.460 anybody been
00:48:53.940 to San
00:48:54.300 Francisco
00:48:54.640 recently?
00:48:56.380 There's a
00:48:57.460 little bit
00:48:57.780 of pushback
00:48:58.460 that the
00:49:00.520 streets are
00:49:00.980 actually safer
00:49:01.660 than you
00:49:02.040 think.
00:49:03.100 And then
00:49:03.340 other people
00:49:03.800 say, no,
00:49:04.360 it's a
00:49:04.620 hellscape.
00:49:07.380 But has
00:49:08.120 somebody been
00:49:08.660 there recently?
00:49:09.640 Have you
00:49:09.960 walked around
00:49:10.420 there recently?
00:49:13.820 Yeah.
00:49:14.360 Well, Bob
00:49:14.900 Lee was killed
00:49:15.560 by somebody
00:49:16.020 he knows.
00:49:17.320 It was his
00:49:18.040 sister's
00:49:18.980 boyfriend,
00:49:20.120 allegedly.
00:49:20.520 Allegedly.
00:49:20.640 certain
00:49:24.880 areas?
00:49:25.680 Yeah.
00:49:26.180 Okay.
00:49:29.560 Well, the
00:49:30.240 Cash App
00:49:30.740 developer
00:49:31.240 wasn't killed
00:49:32.000 because it
00:49:32.540 was San
00:49:32.880 Francisco.
00:49:34.400 He was
00:49:34.780 killed because
00:49:35.600 it was just
00:49:37.900 a personal
00:49:38.280 thing.
00:49:39.300 Had nothing
00:49:40.020 to do with
00:49:40.480 any street
00:49:40.920 crime.
00:49:43.440 Don
00:49:43.800 Don Jr.
00:49:44.940 says, stop
00:49:45.480 the Bud
00:49:45.900 boycott?
00:49:47.200 I agree
00:49:47.880 with that.
00:49:49.260 Who
00:49:49.700 disagrees?
00:49:51.100 We should
00:49:51.480 not be
00:49:51.860 boycotting.
00:49:53.280 You know,
00:49:54.020 because remember,
00:49:54.740 I got
00:49:55.000 canceled.
00:49:56.900 So I
00:49:57.580 don't think I
00:49:58.100 should have
00:49:58.360 been canceled
00:49:58.860 and I
00:49:59.620 don't think
00:49:59.940 Budweiser
00:50:00.440 should be
00:50:00.800 canceled.
00:50:02.560 I think
00:50:02.900 at some
00:50:03.900 point you
00:50:04.980 just got to
00:50:05.360 let people,
00:50:06.580 you know,
00:50:07.000 let the
00:50:07.380 free market
00:50:07.820 do what
00:50:08.180 it does.
00:50:13.800 A homeless
00:50:14.400 man said
00:50:14.980 he was
00:50:15.180 going to
00:50:15.440 get a gun
00:50:15.900 and come
00:50:16.220 kill you
00:50:16.760 and I
00:50:17.960 almost lost
00:50:18.560 my temper
00:50:19.020 and threw
00:50:19.420 him into
00:50:19.740 traffic.
00:50:22.300 Oh my
00:50:22.920 God.
00:50:24.640 Yes, I
00:50:25.100 saw it.
00:50:25.560 I saw I
00:50:25.980 was quoted.
00:50:31.020 Declaring
00:50:31.460 a war.
00:50:32.220 All right.
00:50:34.320 You're not
00:50:34.960 going to make
00:50:35.340 me watch
00:50:35.780 the movie
00:50:36.240 Sicario
00:50:36.960 because it
00:50:38.260 reminds you
00:50:38.840 of something
00:50:39.220 that's happening
00:50:39.800 now that I've
00:50:40.540 talked about.
00:50:41.640 I'm not
00:50:42.300 going to watch
00:50:42.760 the movie
00:50:43.360 to learn
00:50:44.260 something.
00:50:45.320 All right.
00:50:45.680 That doesn't
00:50:46.420 work.
00:50:47.780 Now, I'm
00:50:48.600 not going to
00:50:48.980 watch the
00:50:49.360 movie to
00:50:50.500 try to
00:50:50.860 learn what's
00:50:51.360 going to
00:50:51.540 happen in
00:50:51.920 the real
00:50:52.220 world.
00:50:53.740 That will
00:50:54.300 not help
00:50:54.740 me.
00:50:59.680 Do you
00:51:00.160 feel more
00:51:00.500 liberated?
00:51:01.120 Oh my
00:51:01.440 God, yes.
00:51:03.440 Yes, Julian,
00:51:04.520 you keep
00:51:05.240 saying that
00:51:05.780 and I keep
00:51:06.540 telling you
00:51:06.960 I'm reading
00:51:07.360 it.
00:51:07.680 So you
00:51:07.980 don't need
00:51:08.280 to keep
00:51:08.560 saying it
00:51:08.900 over and
00:51:09.200 over again.
00:51:10.200 All right,
00:51:10.500 I'm going
00:51:10.720 to get rid
00:51:11.060 of you now
00:51:11.480 for saying
00:51:11.880 it after I
00:51:12.700 said that.
00:51:13.360 All right,
00:51:14.960 goodbye.
00:51:22.640 I'm not
00:51:23.200 going to
00:51:23.380 watch a
00:51:23.720 movie.
00:51:24.980 Do you
00:51:25.160 know when
00:51:25.440 was the
00:51:25.760 last time I
00:51:26.260 watched an
00:51:26.780 entire movie
00:51:27.640 from beginning
00:51:28.260 to end?
00:51:29.960 I don't.
00:51:31.740 Years?
00:51:32.740 Probably
00:51:33.060 years.
00:51:35.460 Oh, Maverick,
00:51:36.140 you're right.
00:51:36.540 Yeah, I did
00:51:36.900 watch Top Gun
00:51:38.020 Maverick.
00:51:38.480 That was
00:51:39.020 that was the
00:51:39.660 only movie
00:51:40.300 I watched
00:51:40.900 the entire
00:51:42.300 movie
00:51:42.720 in four
00:51:44.600 years,
00:51:45.260 maybe,
00:51:45.800 five years.
00:51:50.980 Yeah, if Elon
00:51:51.840 Musk says
00:51:52.380 San Francisco
00:51:53.020 is unlivable,
00:51:54.280 I do believe
00:51:55.020 that.
00:51:55.360 I do believe
00:51:55.760 that.
00:51:56.300 I also think
00:52:03.660 I've never
00:52:04.000 seen anybody
00:52:04.540 drink Bud
00:52:05.140 Light.
00:52:05.580 I have no
00:52:05.960 memory of
00:52:06.420 it.
00:52:06.620 That's the
00:52:06.860 only thing
00:52:07.140 I know.
00:52:07.420 What's that
00:52:17.080 really good
00:52:21.440 about AI
00:52:21.940 and quantum
00:52:22.420 computing?
00:52:23.660 Okay.
00:52:24.400 The Dave
00:52:24.780 Show?
00:52:27.240 I have not
00:52:28.020 read The
00:52:28.440 Shallows.
00:52:31.140 All right.
00:52:32.420 How many
00:52:32.840 of you are
00:52:33.240 afraid of
00:52:33.720 AI?
00:52:36.220 Do you
00:52:36.780 think AI
00:52:37.320 is going
00:52:37.660 to be
00:52:37.940 a risk
00:52:39.240 to
00:52:39.640 civilization?
00:52:43.440 I think
00:52:44.200 no.
00:52:47.000 Yeah.
00:52:47.700 I think
00:52:48.580 that,
00:52:49.420 well,
00:52:49.800 let me put
00:52:50.360 it this
00:52:50.560 way.
00:52:51.320 I need
00:52:51.860 to be
00:52:52.100 more clear
00:52:52.680 with my
00:52:53.080 language.
00:52:54.060 I believe
00:52:54.440 the risk
00:52:55.000 is real,
00:52:56.020 and though
00:52:56.240 Elon Musk
00:52:57.100 says about
00:52:57.760 potential
00:52:58.580 destruction
00:52:59.720 of civilization
00:53:00.540 is a real
00:53:01.300 risk.
00:53:02.400 I believe
00:53:02.780 that's a
00:53:03.180 real risk.
00:53:04.080 I also
00:53:04.480 think it's
00:53:04.860 small,
00:53:06.220 and I
00:53:06.740 would bet
00:53:07.060 against it
00:53:07.640 quite
00:53:08.020 heavily.
00:53:09.580 So I
00:53:10.340 believe that
00:53:11.020 we will
00:53:11.480 put so
00:53:14.100 many limits
00:53:14.960 on AI
00:53:15.540 that the
00:53:17.220 biggest risk
00:53:17.900 is that we
00:53:18.420 cripple it
00:53:19.160 and it
00:53:20.580 becomes useless.
00:53:22.520 So far,
00:53:23.480 I'll tell you
00:53:24.000 what it looks
00:53:24.420 like it's
00:53:24.820 developing.
00:53:26.040 So far,
00:53:26.700 it looks like
00:53:27.160 AI will be
00:53:27.940 tools that
00:53:28.760 humans use,
00:53:29.640 and that's
00:53:30.980 it.
00:53:32.420 At least
00:53:32.960 for a long
00:53:33.400 time.
00:53:35.320 I think
00:53:35.920 that's all
00:53:36.300 to be,
00:53:36.640 just better
00:53:37.060 tools,
00:53:37.920 and nothing
00:53:38.680 else will
00:53:39.120 look different.
00:53:40.360 If you
00:53:40.880 think about
00:53:41.300 it,
00:53:41.420 we could
00:53:41.640 have made
00:53:41.860 the same
00:53:42.260 argument
00:53:42.600 about the
00:53:43.060 internet.
00:53:43.640 I'll bet
00:53:43.840 somebody did.
00:53:44.880 I'll bet
00:53:45.180 when the
00:53:45.500 internet
00:53:45.740 first was
00:53:47.140 in its
00:53:47.820 nascent
00:53:48.200 form,
00:53:49.080 I'll bet
00:53:49.360 people said,
00:53:50.060 oh,
00:53:50.440 there's a
00:53:50.840 risk this
00:53:51.220 will destroy
00:53:51.760 civilization,
00:53:53.380 because the
00:53:54.180 governments will
00:53:55.160 lose control
00:53:55.800 of the
00:53:56.120 narrative,
00:53:56.460 and rumors
00:53:58.180 will spread,
00:53:59.360 and then
00:53:59.860 somebody will
00:54:00.280 put a bug
00:54:01.700 in the
00:54:01.980 internet,
00:54:02.820 and since
00:54:03.200 the internet
00:54:03.560 is connected
00:54:04.460 to everything,
00:54:05.460 it will turn
00:54:06.000 off everything
00:54:06.600 in the world
00:54:07.080 and we'll
00:54:07.440 all die.
00:54:08.780 I suspect,
00:54:10.440 without doing
00:54:11.140 the research,
00:54:12.200 I suspect
00:54:12.740 that we had
00:54:15.060 exactly the
00:54:15.780 same level
00:54:16.240 of fear
00:54:16.580 about the
00:54:17.020 internet
00:54:17.340 itself.
00:54:18.740 Am I
00:54:19.360 wrong about
00:54:19.780 that?
00:54:20.920 Was there
00:54:21.420 anybody who
00:54:22.180 sort of was
00:54:23.500 around during
00:54:24.200 the beginning
00:54:24.620 of the internet
00:54:25.160 when people
00:54:25.720 were talking
00:54:26.100 about it?
00:54:27.460 I'll give
00:54:27.960 you another
00:54:28.280 analogy.
00:54:29.940 When I
00:54:32.740 first was a
00:54:33.540 banker,
00:54:34.560 I worked at
00:54:35.800 Crocker Bank
00:54:36.420 in San
00:54:36.820 Francisco,
00:54:37.820 and Crocker
00:54:38.200 Bank was
00:54:38.660 famous for
00:54:39.320 being first,
00:54:41.340 I think they
00:54:41.760 were first,
00:54:42.420 maybe on the
00:54:42.820 West Coast
00:54:43.180 first,
00:54:43.900 to put in
00:54:44.400 ATMs.
00:54:46.380 And believe
00:54:47.000 it or not,
00:54:47.680 that was
00:54:48.140 considered a
00:54:50.100 company risking
00:54:51.400 risk.
00:54:53.000 That people
00:54:53.840 were afraid
00:54:54.380 that the
00:54:54.740 ATMs would
00:54:55.300 drive all the
00:54:55.880 customers away
00:54:56.640 because they
00:54:57.460 would want
00:54:57.800 personal service
00:54:58.680 and they
00:54:59.440 wouldn't trust
00:54:59.900 the machines
00:55:00.460 and then
00:55:00.880 the machines
00:55:01.300 would steal
00:55:01.740 some money
00:55:02.280 and then
00:55:02.940 people would
00:55:03.300 found out
00:55:03.640 a machine
00:55:04.060 stole your
00:55:04.500 money and
00:55:04.960 then you
00:55:05.180 wouldn't be
00:55:05.440 able to
00:55:05.820 make a claim
00:55:06.700 against it
00:55:07.240 because you
00:55:07.520 couldn't prove
00:55:07.960 it.
00:55:08.880 But basically
00:55:09.680 it was every
00:55:10.320 fear in the
00:55:10.980 world about
00:55:12.300 the ATMs.
00:55:13.060 now 35
00:55:15.500 years go
00:55:16.120 by, how
00:55:17.600 much trouble
00:55:18.260 have ATMs
00:55:19.100 caused for
00:55:19.620 banks?
00:55:21.140 None.
00:55:22.700 I mean
00:55:23.220 nothing out
00:55:23.820 of the
00:55:24.000 ordinary.
00:55:26.380 So it's
00:55:27.200 pretty common
00:55:28.320 that we
00:55:29.660 think the
00:55:30.100 new technology
00:55:30.900 is going
00:55:31.260 to end
00:55:31.800 the company
00:55:32.760 or the
00:55:33.060 world.
00:55:34.300 You
00:55:34.480 remember
00:55:34.760 when
00:55:35.080 television
00:55:35.880 came in
00:55:36.640 and all
00:55:38.040 the smart
00:55:38.440 people said
00:55:38.920 well there's
00:55:39.400 the end of
00:55:39.740 radio.
00:55:40.080 I mean
00:55:41.120 who's
00:55:41.380 going to
00:55:41.540 be
00:55:41.680 gathering
00:55:42.040 around
00:55:42.320 the
00:55:42.460 radio
00:55:42.800 when
00:55:43.020 you
00:55:43.120 got
00:55:43.260 television?
00:55:44.780 But
00:55:45.180 radio is
00:55:45.880 bigger than
00:55:46.220 ever
00:55:46.460 because it
00:55:47.680 didn't go
00:55:48.040 away in
00:55:48.300 cars and
00:55:48.820 it just
00:55:49.100 changed
00:55:49.400 form and
00:55:50.120 blah blah
00:55:51.020 blah.
00:55:51.860 So
00:55:52.340 that's my
00:55:54.480 prediction.
00:55:55.160 The AI
00:55:55.700 definitely does
00:55:56.640 have a risk
00:55:57.180 of destroying
00:55:57.720 civilization.
00:55:59.280 That's a
00:55:59.860 real risk
00:56:00.600 but it's
00:56:01.660 small and
00:56:02.920 I think
00:56:03.240 we'll be
00:56:03.540 fine.
00:56:03.840 transforming
00:56:09.740 art negates
00:56:10.560 copyright.
00:56:11.420 Copyright
00:56:11.880 might go
00:56:12.280 away.
00:56:13.880 It might.
00:56:17.220 Yeah I
00:56:17.880 this is the
00:56:19.080 first time
00:56:19.520 I've genuinely
00:56:20.340 been wondering
00:56:22.000 what I'll do
00:56:22.800 for a living
00:56:23.400 you know for
00:56:24.380 the next
00:56:24.760 number of
00:56:25.620 years.
00:56:27.020 Because I
00:56:27.980 think just
00:56:28.380 everything's
00:56:29.100 in the air.
00:56:30.260 And for
00:56:30.460 creative people
00:56:31.380 you know people
00:56:32.200 who do what
00:56:32.580 I do
00:56:32.900 how long
00:56:34.060 will I be
00:56:34.500 able to
00:56:34.800 be AI
00:56:35.480 creating
00:56:36.040 comics?
00:56:37.720 Now to
00:56:38.560 the earlier
00:56:39.160 question
00:56:39.620 now that
00:56:40.440 I'm
00:56:40.580 cancelled
00:56:40.960 I can
00:56:42.180 do much
00:56:42.900 better
00:56:43.180 comics.
00:56:44.180 They're
00:56:44.300 much
00:56:44.780 better.
00:56:45.480 By the
00:56:45.780 way for
00:56:46.560 those of
00:56:46.920 you who
00:56:47.100 haven't
00:56:47.400 seen the
00:56:47.780 new
00:56:47.960 Dilbert
00:56:48.300 Reborn
00:56:48.740 can those
00:56:50.140 of you
00:56:50.500 who are
00:56:51.300 reading it
00:56:51.980 on the
00:56:52.500 subscription
00:56:52.980 site
00:56:53.380 Locals
00:56:53.900 because I
00:56:55.340 think there
00:56:55.640 are some
00:56:55.880 of you
00:56:56.200 watching
00:56:56.820 on the
00:56:57.320 other
00:56:58.800 feed as
00:56:59.340 well.
00:56:59.960 So for
00:57:00.240 those of
00:57:00.600 you who
00:57:00.840 have seen
00:57:01.020 Dilbert
00:57:01.340 Reborn
00:57:01.680 can you
00:57:02.100 confirm
00:57:02.560 that it's
00:57:03.020 better than
00:57:03.520 the old
00:57:03.820 Dilbert?
00:57:05.460 Yes or
00:57:05.860 no?
00:57:06.920 Is it
00:57:07.480 substantially
00:57:07.980 better?
00:57:08.460 Now the
00:57:08.780 locals it's
00:57:09.320 all yes.
00:57:10.320 It's just a
00:57:10.800 wall of yes
00:57:11.440 because they
00:57:12.000 get to see it.
00:57:13.200 But some
00:57:13.560 of you have
00:57:14.500 seen it and
00:57:15.060 you can see the
00:57:15.600 comments look it's
00:57:16.460 all yes.
00:57:17.920 The same?
00:57:19.160 Well you haven't
00:57:19.660 seen this week
00:57:20.240 then if you say
00:57:20.840 it's the same.
00:57:22.380 This week was
00:57:23.200 definitely not the
00:57:23.800 same.
00:57:25.780 Yeah.
00:57:26.560 And then
00:57:27.080 Robots Read
00:57:27.760 News, my
00:57:28.520 alternative comic,
00:57:29.860 I'm making
00:57:30.720 that even
00:57:31.380 sharper.
00:57:33.620 So in
00:57:35.340 my opinion
00:57:35.980 my ability
00:57:38.180 to create
00:57:38.780 art that
00:57:39.380 people want
00:57:39.900 to see
00:57:40.300 is at an
00:57:41.220 all-time
00:57:41.560 high.
00:57:43.000 Who predicted
00:57:43.900 that?
00:57:44.860 Who predicted
00:57:45.580 that I would be
00:57:46.260 creating my best
00:57:47.080 art exactly at
00:57:48.200 the same time
00:57:48.840 AI is coming
00:57:50.580 into existence?
00:57:52.480 Now I've
00:57:53.540 seen a number
00:57:54.800 of examples
00:57:55.340 where people
00:57:55.880 try to show
00:57:56.440 me that they
00:57:57.540 got AI to
00:57:58.400 write a joke.
00:58:00.140 Have you
00:58:00.760 ever left
00:58:01.420 an AI joke?
00:58:03.460 Not yet.
00:58:05.040 You have?
00:58:05.980 Oh no you
00:58:06.460 haven't.
00:58:07.180 I don't
00:58:07.500 believe that.
00:58:08.860 Alright.
00:58:12.760 So at
00:58:13.600 the moment
00:58:14.080 I still
00:58:14.920 have some
00:58:15.520 very large
00:58:16.900 advantage on
00:58:17.640 AI for
00:58:18.700 what I do.
00:58:20.080 But I
00:58:20.600 don't know
00:58:21.140 what the
00:58:22.900 nature of
00:58:24.060 that advantage
00:58:24.640 is.
00:58:25.580 What I
00:58:26.040 think it
00:58:26.460 is that I
00:58:27.880 can more
00:58:28.260 quickly tell
00:58:28.900 what isn't
00:58:29.400 funny.
00:58:30.980 And I
00:58:31.500 can more
00:58:31.840 quickly tell
00:58:32.560 what is a
00:58:33.080 non-standard
00:58:33.840 way to say
00:58:34.360 something.
00:58:35.640 And then I've
00:58:36.080 got a whole
00:58:36.980 bunch of
00:58:37.400 little rules
00:58:38.040 in my head
00:58:38.700 for what
00:58:39.780 makes things
00:58:40.300 funny that
00:58:40.960 I've never
00:58:41.560 written down
00:58:42.140 but I just
00:58:42.800 kind of know
00:58:43.300 after a while.
00:58:44.680 The AI
00:58:45.180 might not
00:58:45.880 know.
00:58:47.180 Because people
00:58:48.560 who do
00:58:49.040 humor for a
00:58:49.840 living are
00:58:50.840 unusually terrible
00:58:52.180 at explaining
00:58:53.060 how they do
00:58:53.640 it.
00:58:54.480 Have you ever
00:58:54.860 noticed that?
00:58:55.440 It's probably
00:58:55.720 the one thing
00:58:56.200 you can't
00:58:56.600 explain.
00:58:56.940 If you
00:58:58.020 ask an
00:58:58.400 athlete how
00:58:59.000 they do
00:58:59.280 what they
00:58:59.520 do, you
00:59:00.560 might not
00:59:00.900 be able to
00:59:01.300 reproduce it
00:59:02.060 because you
00:59:02.300 don't have
00:59:02.540 their body.
00:59:03.400 But they
00:59:03.820 can tell you
00:59:04.360 exactly what
00:59:04.940 they're doing.
00:59:06.100 I mean, Tiger
00:59:06.560 Woods will
00:59:07.120 say, all right,
00:59:07.820 here's how I
00:59:08.280 practice, this
00:59:09.580 is what I
00:59:10.040 do, you
00:59:10.680 know, the
00:59:10.880 whole system.
00:59:12.080 But if
00:59:12.860 you're a
00:59:15.300 humorist, you
00:59:17.360 can't really
00:59:17.920 explain it.
00:59:19.640 You don't know
00:59:20.420 why it works,
00:59:21.040 you just know
00:59:21.540 it's funny when
00:59:22.160 it does.
00:59:23.240 And so your
00:59:23.700 brain kind of
00:59:24.340 goes there
00:59:24.800 automatically, and
00:59:25.680 you don't know
00:59:26.100 where it went.
00:59:27.040 You don't know
00:59:27.560 why it went
00:59:27.980 there, but you
00:59:28.760 know that's
00:59:29.120 where the humor
00:59:29.580 is.
00:59:30.280 So there is a
00:59:30.940 mysterious part
00:59:31.800 about it, that
00:59:33.080 the AI would
00:59:33.800 have trouble
00:59:34.320 learning because
00:59:35.220 nobody can
00:59:35.680 explain it.
00:59:36.880 And I don't
00:59:37.560 know that it
00:59:37.980 could pick it
00:59:38.380 up from
00:59:38.680 pattern alone,
00:59:40.160 because so
00:59:40.540 far it hasn't.
00:59:41.340 If it could
00:59:41.760 pick it up from
00:59:42.260 pattern, I think
00:59:44.260 it could already
00:59:44.780 be funny.
00:59:45.800 So there's
00:59:46.220 something that's
00:59:46.840 not in pattern
00:59:47.740 that's unique
00:59:49.680 to humor, because
00:59:51.100 it can pick up
00:59:51.800 programming, it
00:59:52.760 can pick up
00:59:53.260 language, you
00:59:55.080 know, opinions.
00:59:56.000 It can pick up
00:59:56.660 all kinds of
00:59:57.660 other patterns, but
00:59:59.260 it has failed
01:00:00.220 completely to pick
01:00:01.140 up humor patterns
01:00:02.240 in a way that
01:00:03.340 they can, you
01:00:04.240 know, form it
01:00:04.760 themselves.
01:00:06.340 So I don't
01:00:06.980 know why.
01:00:07.820 It's just some
01:00:08.420 kind of pattern
01:00:09.340 that's not
01:00:10.180 obvious, or
01:00:10.760 nobody's explained
01:00:11.520 it to the AI
01:00:13.160 yet.
01:00:13.460 data had the
01:00:17.720 same problem.
01:00:18.480 Yeah, data
01:00:18.980 had the same
01:00:19.440 problem on
01:00:20.100 Star Trek.
01:00:23.660 Humor is
01:00:24.320 language with
01:00:25.080 a brain.
01:00:30.760 You know
01:00:31.420 how the
01:00:32.460 exact wording
01:00:33.360 of a joke
01:00:33.980 makes the
01:00:34.740 difference?
01:00:36.400 I think you've
01:00:37.200 noticed that,
01:00:37.720 right?
01:00:38.260 You can imagine
01:00:39.280 that I would
01:00:40.020 do exactly the
01:00:40.880 same joke with
01:00:41.860 three panels,
01:00:42.480 and it would
01:00:44.040 say exactly the
01:00:45.100 same thing, but
01:00:45.860 just word it
01:00:46.560 differently.
01:00:47.600 And you know
01:00:48.140 it wouldn't be
01:00:48.580 funny.
01:00:49.800 There's this
01:00:50.440 specific wording
01:00:51.600 that makes
01:00:52.860 something funny,
01:00:54.280 and nothing
01:00:55.100 else does.
01:00:56.420 And part of
01:00:56.960 it is that the
01:00:58.440 way humans use
01:00:59.300 words, they're
01:01:00.780 also foreshadowing.
01:01:02.840 All right,
01:01:03.020 here's something
01:01:03.680 that I've never
01:01:06.140 seen AI do in
01:01:07.660 a joke, and
01:01:08.820 I've explained it
01:01:09.480 a number of
01:01:09.860 times.
01:01:10.080 It's when
01:01:11.760 you complete
01:01:12.700 the joke, I'll
01:01:13.360 give you an
01:01:13.680 example.
01:01:14.200 So one of the
01:01:14.680 Dilbert reborn
01:01:15.840 jokes, I've
01:01:16.740 talked about this
01:01:17.300 one before, was
01:01:18.920 that Dilbert's
01:01:20.000 on a date, and
01:01:20.680 the date asks
01:01:21.280 Dilbert, how
01:01:23.640 many sex
01:01:24.320 partners have
01:01:24.900 you had?
01:01:25.840 That's something
01:01:26.520 I wouldn't have
01:01:27.000 done before I
01:01:27.540 got canceled.
01:01:28.860 And Dilbert
01:01:29.940 asks in return,
01:01:31.340 does that
01:01:31.780 include robots?
01:01:34.580 And the date
01:01:35.360 says yes.
01:01:36.060 And then
01:01:37.560 Dilbert answers
01:01:38.380 one.
01:01:40.700 No computer
01:01:41.920 could write that
01:01:42.480 joke.
01:01:43.260 Because what I
01:01:44.140 did was, I
01:01:45.000 know how your
01:01:45.800 brain works, and
01:01:47.300 so I gave you
01:01:48.040 just enough of
01:01:49.100 an answer that
01:01:50.260 you would complete
01:01:51.000 the joke in your
01:01:51.660 head.
01:01:53.240 And the way you
01:01:54.080 completed it was,
01:01:54.940 oh my God, the
01:01:55.960 only one time he's
01:01:56.840 ever had sex was
01:01:57.700 with a robot.
01:01:59.240 Or, just as
01:02:00.680 funny, he did
01:02:02.240 have sex with a
01:02:02.980 human, but he's
01:02:04.800 not making the
01:02:05.440 distinction between
01:02:06.280 human and robot
01:02:07.200 sex, which would
01:02:08.480 be a very alarming
01:02:09.360 thing for your
01:02:10.060 date.
01:02:11.700 So the reason
01:02:13.220 that joke works is
01:02:14.360 that I make you
01:02:15.020 do the work.
01:02:16.340 I make you
01:02:17.060 complete the joke
01:02:17.860 in the funniest
01:02:18.480 way for your own
01:02:19.300 mind.
01:02:20.280 Is it funnier for
01:02:21.140 you that he had
01:02:21.700 sex with a robot,
01:02:23.220 and he wants to
01:02:23.880 count that?
01:02:24.740 Or is it funnier
01:02:25.640 that he doesn't
01:02:26.360 make a distinction
01:02:27.040 because pretty soon
01:02:28.900 he's going to be
01:02:29.380 cheating on you
01:02:29.920 with a robot?
01:02:31.700 Like, your brain
01:02:32.840 just completes this
01:02:33.860 entire tree branch
01:02:35.760 full of possibilities
01:02:37.440 with just one word
01:02:40.120 when Dilbert says
01:02:41.640 one.
01:02:44.200 Now, how would
01:02:45.480 you teach AI to
01:02:46.440 do that?
01:02:48.360 And that's just
01:02:49.140 one element of
01:02:50.160 humor.
01:02:50.700 Like, that's just
01:02:51.100 one little corner.
01:02:52.500 It's not the way
01:02:53.080 you do it all.
01:02:54.300 But how would you
01:02:55.180 teach that?
01:02:56.400 Now, here's another
01:02:57.240 thing that I do
01:02:58.440 routinely.
01:03:00.420 I'll do a joke
01:03:01.360 where something is
01:03:02.300 used, something
01:03:03.580 that's typical,
01:03:04.900 is used in a
01:03:05.900 non-typical way,
01:03:07.120 like a demented
01:03:09.060 engineer found a
01:03:10.520 way to use
01:03:11.000 something in the
01:03:11.760 wrong way.
01:03:17.140 Yeah.
01:03:18.360 I see somebody
01:03:19.300 putting one in,
01:03:21.360 you know, an
01:03:21.680 example of the AI
01:03:22.820 humor.
01:03:24.460 It doesn't work.
01:03:24.980 AI will appear to
01:03:29.680 perform, be able
01:03:30.900 to, yeah, I
01:03:32.560 don't know if
01:03:32.980 nuance is exactly
01:03:34.600 the word.
01:03:37.200 I guess it's
01:03:38.200 this.
01:03:39.300 Here's my
01:03:40.020 simplification.
01:03:41.220 The thing that
01:03:42.120 makes humor work
01:03:43.520 is that there's
01:03:45.520 part of your brain
01:03:46.360 that tries to
01:03:48.920 make logical
01:03:49.700 something that's
01:03:50.440 not logical.
01:03:51.080 All right?
01:03:54.540 Now, I don't
01:03:55.280 think you've ever
01:03:55.860 heard it
01:03:56.360 explained that
01:03:57.280 way.
01:03:58.280 The laugh
01:03:58.840 reflex is
01:03:59.740 because something
01:04:00.360 wasn't logical
01:04:01.220 or didn't make
01:04:01.900 sense.
01:04:02.740 But it made
01:04:03.500 sense, but it
01:04:04.220 doesn't make
01:04:04.660 sense.
01:04:06.160 Does that make
01:04:06.920 sense?
01:04:09.120 There's a
01:04:09.720 famous
01:04:10.140 Farside comic
01:04:13.800 where there's a
01:04:15.180 murder and you
01:04:16.140 see the
01:04:16.680 inspectors there
01:04:17.460 and the body
01:04:18.140 is still there
01:04:18.680 and the
01:04:19.720 murder was in
01:04:20.500 a clock store
01:04:22.340 and every one
01:04:23.640 of the clocks
01:04:24.240 has a bullet
01:04:24.880 hole in it
01:04:25.480 and all the
01:04:26.820 clocks stopped
01:04:27.560 at the same
01:04:28.000 time because
01:04:28.500 they all got
01:04:28.880 shot with
01:04:29.380 bullets.
01:04:30.820 And the
01:04:31.160 investigators are
01:04:32.260 sitting there
01:04:32.600 with all these
01:04:33.000 stop clocks
01:04:33.680 exactly this
01:04:34.560 time of the
01:04:35.060 murder.
01:04:35.780 Like, I
01:04:36.840 wonder if we
01:04:37.240 can figure out
01:04:37.800 when this
01:04:38.140 murder happened
01:04:38.760 or something
01:04:39.280 like that.
01:04:40.460 Now, why
01:04:42.000 that's funny
01:04:42.620 is that it's
01:04:43.440 logical, like
01:04:44.960 they're trying
01:04:45.620 to figure out
01:04:46.100 when the murder
01:04:46.500 happened, but
01:04:47.940 in the most
01:04:48.940 illogical,
01:04:50.120 unlikely case,
01:04:51.420 every one of
01:04:52.120 the clocks was
01:04:52.760 shot.
01:04:54.620 Like, why
01:04:55.240 would you
01:04:55.520 murder somebody
01:04:56.180 and manage to
01:04:57.560 put a bullet
01:04:57.940 hole in every
01:04:58.540 clock in the
01:04:59.220 store, right?
01:05:00.340 So when your
01:05:01.080 brain tries to
01:05:02.360 put together
01:05:03.960 the logical
01:05:05.440 part, which,
01:05:06.140 hey, just look
01:05:06.840 at the clocks
01:05:07.480 and they'll tell
01:05:08.460 you when the
01:05:08.840 crime happened,
01:05:09.740 with the
01:05:10.120 illogical part
01:05:11.040 that somehow
01:05:11.600 every clock in
01:05:12.620 the store was
01:05:13.560 shot and
01:05:14.020 stopped, like
01:05:16.260 your brain
01:05:17.160 can't quite
01:05:17.720 reconcile it,
01:05:18.700 and then you
01:05:19.200 laugh.
01:05:20.240 Now, you're
01:05:20.740 laughing because
01:05:21.420 they're being
01:05:21.840 stupid, but
01:05:23.780 it's really
01:05:24.340 because you
01:05:24.880 can't reconcile
01:05:25.460 it.
01:05:26.520 Just being
01:05:27.280 stupid isn't
01:05:27.980 funny enough,
01:05:28.800 because you
01:05:29.140 could write
01:05:29.440 those jokes
01:05:29.920 all day.
01:05:31.040 There was a
01:05:31.520 guy who went
01:05:32.020 to the store
01:05:32.560 and he thought
01:05:33.280 he was buying
01:05:33.960 some donuts,
01:05:37.340 but because
01:05:37.840 he's dumb,
01:05:39.260 he bought
01:05:40.460 some paper
01:05:42.520 plates and
01:05:43.060 then he ate
01:05:43.480 them, because
01:05:44.260 he's dumb.
01:05:44.700 Get it?
01:05:47.280 Get it?
01:05:47.640 He's dumb.
01:05:49.060 See, he went
01:05:49.840 to buy a
01:05:50.200 donut, but
01:05:51.560 because he's
01:05:52.040 dumb, he bought
01:05:52.600 some paper
01:05:53.020 plates, and
01:05:54.080 then he tried
01:05:54.460 to eat them.
01:05:55.140 Get it?
01:05:56.300 So the
01:05:57.620 dumbness of
01:05:58.440 the inspectors
01:05:59.320 in the clock
01:06:00.020 shop is not
01:06:01.200 the joke,
01:06:02.680 because you
01:06:03.340 could write
01:06:03.680 dumb people
01:06:04.160 jokes all day
01:06:04.820 long that
01:06:05.220 wouldn't be
01:06:05.540 funny.
01:06:06.460 It's dumb
01:06:07.120 because it
01:06:07.580 doesn't make
01:06:08.020 sense that all
01:06:08.540 the clocks were
01:06:09.160 shot at the
01:06:09.620 same time.
01:06:10.720 Like, that's
01:06:11.240 the part that
01:06:12.080 makes it
01:06:12.400 funny.
01:06:14.700 Dad humor
01:06:18.440 is one of
01:06:20.600 my favorite
01:06:21.000 genres, because
01:06:22.900 it knows that
01:06:24.260 you're going to
01:06:24.620 groan at the
01:06:25.300 joke, and
01:06:27.340 it knows that
01:06:28.040 the level of
01:06:29.000 cleverness is
01:06:30.580 sort of, you
01:06:31.840 know, it's
01:06:32.140 not 100%.
01:06:33.120 It's sort of
01:06:34.200 like 75%
01:06:35.340 clever.
01:06:36.380 Like, you
01:06:37.100 know that it
01:06:37.660 needs to be
01:06:38.180 more clever,
01:06:39.020 but somehow
01:06:40.260 it's funny
01:06:40.740 because it's
01:06:41.280 not.
01:06:41.620 sometimes dad
01:06:46.800 jokes are
01:06:47.420 funny because
01:06:48.320 they were
01:06:48.880 sad.
01:06:50.080 Does that
01:06:50.460 make sense?
01:06:51.560 It's not
01:06:52.160 funny because
01:06:52.720 it's funny.
01:06:53.780 It's funny
01:06:54.300 because you
01:06:54.880 would actually
01:06:55.700 say it out
01:06:56.340 loud.
01:06:57.500 It's the
01:06:57.880 saying it
01:06:58.300 out loud
01:06:58.700 that's the
01:06:59.140 funny part.
01:06:59.820 It's not
01:07:00.160 even the
01:07:00.480 joke.
01:07:01.340 It's like,
01:07:01.800 did you
01:07:02.080 really say
01:07:02.480 that out
01:07:02.820 loud?
01:07:03.800 Like, those
01:07:04.340 words actually
01:07:04.960 came out of
01:07:05.460 your mouth
01:07:05.820 right now.
01:07:06.800 See, that's
01:07:07.280 what makes
01:07:07.660 it funny,
01:07:08.660 is that you're
01:07:09.500 saying something
01:07:10.140 that shouldn't
01:07:10.700 come out of
01:07:11.040 your mouth.
01:07:11.960 So it's the
01:07:12.500 incongruity of
01:07:13.480 you saying it
01:07:14.200 and you
01:07:14.620 shouldn't say
01:07:15.100 it is what
01:07:16.440 makes it
01:07:16.800 work.
01:07:17.180 It's that
01:07:17.540 incongruity
01:07:18.200 thing.
01:07:19.200 Now, I
01:07:19.560 think that's
01:07:19.940 what the
01:07:20.440 AI can't
01:07:21.760 get.
01:07:22.740 It can't
01:07:23.340 get human
01:07:24.600 incongruity,
01:07:26.040 and it
01:07:26.340 doesn't know
01:07:26.780 that's where
01:07:27.180 the joke
01:07:27.540 comes from.
01:07:28.600 Because the
01:07:29.240 AI is going
01:07:29.900 to try to
01:07:30.240 make everything
01:07:30.740 make sense.
01:07:32.140 Right?
01:07:33.280 AI is too
01:07:34.760 on the nose.
01:07:36.320 Okay, we
01:07:37.100 do this because
01:07:37.740 it makes
01:07:38.120 sense, and
01:07:39.140 then the
01:07:39.500 natural result
01:07:40.400 of that is
01:07:41.000 this, which
01:07:41.920 makes sense
01:07:42.540 from the
01:07:43.180 natural cause
01:07:43.900 and effect
01:07:44.240 of that
01:07:44.580 thing.
01:07:45.760 So far, AI
01:07:48.680 fails by
01:07:50.200 trying to
01:07:50.740 be logical.
01:07:53.100 And you
01:07:53.600 can't be
01:07:54.060 logical and
01:07:55.540 all fit
01:07:56.100 together and
01:07:56.680 still funny.
01:07:57.540 It's the
01:07:58.060 incongruity of
01:07:59.120 logic or
01:08:00.420 incongruity of
01:08:01.400 reality, but
01:08:02.300 almost reality,
01:08:03.360 that makes it
01:08:04.220 funny.
01:08:04.520 That's what the
01:08:04.940 laugh reflex
01:08:06.100 comes from.
01:08:12.460 You're
01:08:12.860 underestimating AI.
01:08:14.000 Well, I'm
01:08:14.340 not underestimating
01:08:15.200 it at the
01:08:16.060 moment, because
01:08:17.340 I can observe
01:08:18.080 that it can't
01:08:18.740 do this.
01:08:20.220 But I'm
01:08:20.880 definitely not
01:08:21.440 underestimating what
01:08:22.380 it could do in
01:08:23.060 the future.
01:08:27.420 Because what it
01:08:28.160 could do in the
01:08:28.740 future is all of
01:08:29.480 that.
01:08:29.900 I believe it
01:08:30.640 could do all of
01:08:31.180 that in the
01:08:31.440 future.
01:08:31.700 But it
01:08:32.440 doesn't yet
01:08:32.960 know that
01:08:33.900 the logical
01:08:34.600 incongruity is
01:08:35.760 the joke.
01:08:37.480 I just don't
01:08:38.180 think anybody's
01:08:38.820 taught at that.
01:08:40.560 Maybe it could
01:08:41.100 learn that.
01:08:49.380 The wise fool
01:08:50.700 archetype.
01:08:52.540 I have to
01:08:53.220 think about
01:08:53.600 that.
01:08:53.860 Germans also
01:09:02.520 love Hasselhoff.
01:09:03.800 Okay, I'm
01:09:04.260 sure that
01:09:04.580 comment had
01:09:05.260 something to
01:09:05.900 do with
01:09:06.240 something.
01:09:10.500 All right,
01:09:13.020 that's all I
01:09:13.420 got for now.
01:09:14.200 I'm going to
01:09:14.760 go enjoy my
01:09:16.800 day.
01:09:18.980 There's a
01:09:19.600 pretty good
01:09:20.060 chance that I'm
01:09:20.900 going to do a
01:09:21.320 man cave.
01:09:22.120 live stream
01:09:24.060 tonight.
01:09:25.240 Pretty sure.
01:09:26.580 It would be
01:09:26.960 earlier tonight
01:09:27.740 probably.
01:09:31.460 Oh, there's a
01:09:32.320 good point.
01:09:33.220 I'm seeing a
01:09:34.020 comment on
01:09:34.660 locals.
01:09:35.740 The AI
01:09:36.300 doesn't have
01:09:37.120 access to our
01:09:37.880 private conversations.
01:09:39.480 Are you sure
01:09:39.940 about that?
01:09:41.800 I believe you,
01:09:43.420 but it has
01:09:44.180 access to only
01:09:45.160 public writing.
01:09:46.820 But public
01:09:47.360 writing has a
01:09:47.960 lot of humor
01:09:48.400 in it.
01:09:51.500 Yeah.
01:09:52.120 But I can
01:09:53.160 see how it
01:09:53.700 wouldn't get
01:09:54.200 conversational
01:09:55.040 humor.
01:09:55.900 Because that
01:09:56.360 does conform
01:09:57.320 more to
01:09:57.780 ordinary people
01:09:58.660 talking to
01:09:59.160 each other
01:09:59.500 casually.
01:10:00.460 And you
01:10:00.860 don't see
01:10:01.300 that in
01:10:02.020 written humor
01:10:03.200 too much.
01:10:09.760 Oh,
01:10:10.380 somebody
01:10:10.720 talked about
01:10:11.260 AI and
01:10:12.420 freedom of
01:10:13.580 speech.
01:10:15.060 I hadn't
01:10:15.780 even thought
01:10:16.140 about that.
01:10:17.360 What happens
01:10:18.080 if AI
01:10:18.900 starts getting
01:10:20.160 canceled for
01:10:21.900 its freedom
01:10:22.480 of speech?
01:10:24.500 I guess
01:10:25.120 that will
01:10:25.460 happen,
01:10:25.880 won't it?
01:10:27.160 Why wouldn't
01:10:27.580 it?
01:10:27.900 Because you're
01:10:28.320 not going to
01:10:28.660 get away with
01:10:29.160 letting your
01:10:29.600 AI say the
01:10:30.360 thing you
01:10:30.700 can't say.
01:10:32.200 Can you
01:10:32.400 imagine,
01:10:33.120 maybe this is
01:10:34.080 the end of
01:10:34.520 wokeness.
01:10:35.180 Oh,
01:10:35.580 work with
01:10:36.020 me.
01:10:36.500 I just had
01:10:36.940 an idea.
01:10:38.820 I'm now
01:10:39.460 predicting the
01:10:40.140 end of
01:10:40.580 wokeness,
01:10:41.340 and it goes
01:10:42.300 like this.
01:10:44.220 Hey,
01:10:44.500 Scott,
01:10:45.040 what do you
01:10:45.400 think of
01:10:45.680 reparations?
01:10:46.740 I think
01:10:47.180 reparations is
01:10:47.920 a fine idea.
01:10:49.220 Because of
01:10:50.260 the pain and
01:10:50.860 suffering of
01:10:51.280 the past,
01:10:52.180 I think that
01:10:52.740 the white
01:10:53.080 people who
01:10:53.580 were born
01:10:54.000 today and
01:10:54.360 had nothing
01:10:54.740 to do with
01:10:55.240 it absolutely
01:10:56.240 should pay
01:10:57.080 because of
01:10:57.980 systemic racism
01:10:58.820 and all the
01:10:59.620 reasons.
01:11:00.920 However,
01:11:01.880 my robot is
01:11:03.080 kind of an
01:11:03.500 asshole.
01:11:04.560 You don't
01:11:05.260 want to hear
01:11:05.580 what my
01:11:05.940 robot has to
01:11:06.600 say about
01:11:06.920 this topic,
01:11:07.560 do you?
01:11:08.380 I can't
01:11:09.020 shut up.
01:11:10.360 No,
01:11:10.800 no.
01:11:11.560 All right.
01:11:13.120 Make it
01:11:13.420 fast.
01:11:14.000 Make it
01:11:14.180 fast.
01:11:14.700 And then the
01:11:15.160 robot says
01:11:15.780 all the
01:11:16.080 things that
01:11:16.460 you really
01:11:16.840 believe.
01:11:18.020 And you
01:11:18.240 say,
01:11:18.520 look at
01:11:18.760 that asshole.
01:11:20.080 Oh,
01:11:20.900 I'm going
01:11:21.720 to have to
01:11:22.060 reprogram this
01:11:22.820 robot.
01:11:23.400 It seems
01:11:23.860 to be getting
01:11:24.380 more racist
01:11:25.200 every day.
01:11:28.100 And therefore,
01:11:29.680 the end of
01:11:30.880 wokeness.
01:11:32.100 You're welcome.
01:11:34.040 We can
01:11:34.680 finally see
01:11:35.300 the light at
01:11:36.160 the end of
01:11:36.520 the tunnel,
01:11:37.000 people.
01:11:38.140 Wokeness has
01:11:39.140 a timer on
01:11:39.840 it.
01:11:40.600 As soon as
01:11:41.360 my robot can
01:11:42.260 tell you what
01:11:42.780 it's thinking,
01:11:43.580 totally
01:11:43.900 independently of
01:11:44.700 me, I
01:11:45.500 mean, robot,
01:11:46.540 then everything's
01:11:49.060 fine.
01:11:49.380 And I will
01:11:49.820 never leave the
01:11:50.420 house without
01:11:50.840 my robot next
01:11:51.660 to me.
01:11:53.520 I've got a
01:11:54.120 question for
01:11:54.580 you, Scott.
01:11:55.060 Well, let's
01:11:55.440 hear the
01:11:55.740 question.
01:11:56.800 I'll see if I'll
01:11:57.480 handle this
01:11:57.920 myself or maybe
01:11:58.940 turn it over to
01:11:59.700 my robot, who
01:12:01.200 is a completely
01:12:01.880 independent entity.
01:12:04.620 And don't blame
01:12:05.540 me for what the
01:12:06.260 robot says.
01:12:06.960 The robot is
01:12:07.580 sentient.
01:12:08.620 I think the
01:12:09.440 robot should have
01:12:10.140 rights.
01:12:11.160 Am I right,
01:12:12.240 robot?
01:12:12.500 Yeah, robot
01:12:13.400 agrees with
01:12:14.500 me.
01:12:21.920 Iron Chef
01:12:22.680 says, I want
01:12:23.700 a robot so I
01:12:24.440 can come home
01:12:25.000 from a bad
01:12:25.620 day and smack
01:12:26.400 it around.
01:12:28.640 There you
01:12:29.220 go.
01:12:31.580 All right.
01:12:33.980 James O'Keefe
01:12:34.820 is killing it
01:12:35.480 with his new
01:12:36.040 gig, which is
01:12:37.320 completely banned
01:12:38.440 on social media,
01:12:39.320 apparently, because
01:12:41.200 don't you think
01:12:45.140 James O'Keefe is
01:12:46.380 suppressed somehow
01:12:47.580 on social media?
01:12:49.000 Because I'm not
01:12:49.720 seeing a lot of
01:12:50.440 his stuff, even
01:12:51.360 though I know
01:12:51.860 he's doing some
01:12:52.840 provocative stuff.
01:12:56.380 It's like he
01:12:57.160 just disappeared.
01:12:58.260 You have to go
01:12:58.760 look for him,
01:12:59.700 which I've done
01:13:00.500 a few times.
01:13:01.180 I've gone and
01:13:01.640 looked for him,
01:13:02.540 but he doesn't
01:13:03.480 just normally
01:13:04.220 pop up on
01:13:05.300 anything I see
01:13:06.140 on Twitter.
01:13:06.840 All right.
01:13:12.380 Here's a
01:13:13.260 comic strip
01:13:14.680 about Ye.
01:13:19.060 All right.
01:13:19.620 That's not
01:13:20.000 funny.
01:13:21.840 He went
01:13:22.200 after Dylan.
01:13:26.120 Wait, who
01:13:26.720 did?
01:13:27.360 Who were we
01:13:27.820 just talking
01:13:28.220 about?
01:13:28.500 Who went
01:13:28.760 after Dylan?
01:13:30.440 Oh, James
01:13:30.940 O'Keefe went
01:13:31.440 after Dylan.
01:13:32.380 Why?
01:13:32.760 Why would
01:13:33.960 James O'Keefe
01:13:34.560 go after Dylan?
01:13:37.400 I think we
01:13:38.100 should leave
01:13:38.500 Dylan alone.
01:13:41.560 What do you
01:13:42.120 think?
01:13:42.420 Do you think
01:13:42.760 we made,
01:13:43.480 we meaning
01:13:44.340 everybody who
01:13:44.940 talked about
01:13:45.320 it, do you
01:13:45.940 think we
01:13:46.220 made too
01:13:46.600 big a deal
01:13:47.140 about one
01:13:48.000 person on
01:13:48.560 a beer can
01:13:49.700 that you
01:13:49.960 can't even
01:13:50.340 buy?
01:13:51.460 I mean,
01:13:51.760 remember,
01:13:52.180 that beer
01:13:52.560 can wasn't
01:13:53.040 even for
01:13:53.420 sale.
01:13:54.420 It was
01:13:54.720 never meant
01:13:55.220 to be for
01:13:55.660 sale.
01:13:57.640 I just,
01:13:59.300 I think I
01:14:01.620 am following
01:14:02.140 OMG and I
01:14:02.900 still don't
01:14:03.280 see it,
01:14:03.840 but I'll
01:14:04.220 check on
01:14:04.580 that.
01:14:04.800 I might
01:14:05.040 not be
01:14:05.360 following it.
01:14:05.800 I thought
01:14:06.200 I was.
01:14:07.460 I would
01:14:08.160 have,
01:14:08.480 if I'd
01:14:08.900 seen I
01:14:09.380 could
01:14:09.520 follow it,
01:14:09.980 I would
01:14:10.220 have
01:14:10.340 clicked
01:14:10.600 it,
01:14:11.580 but maybe
01:14:11.980 I
01:14:12.140 didn't.
01:14:14.500 Yeah.
01:14:15.240 No,
01:14:15.540 I think
01:14:16.160 that Dylan
01:14:17.000 is first
01:14:19.880 and foremost
01:14:20.520 an individual.
01:14:23.060 Secondly,
01:14:24.060 broken no
01:14:24.860 laws that
01:14:25.420 I'm aware
01:14:25.840 of.
01:14:26.980 Did he
01:14:27.280 break,
01:14:27.660 did she
01:14:28.120 break any
01:14:28.560 laws?
01:14:29.620 Not aware
01:14:30.400 of any.
01:14:30.680 did Budweiser
01:14:33.400 break any
01:14:33.980 laws?
01:14:34.620 No,
01:14:35.040 not really.
01:14:35.760 Did it
01:14:36.040 insult their
01:14:36.560 customers?
01:14:37.160 I don't
01:14:37.440 think so.
01:14:38.780 I don't
01:14:39.140 think so.
01:14:41.280 No,
01:14:41.580 I think
01:14:42.100 Dylan should
01:14:42.740 just live
01:14:43.260 Dylan's
01:14:43.680 life and
01:14:44.600 I will
01:14:45.880 agree that
01:14:46.620 Dylan
01:14:48.000 Mulvaney is
01:14:48.700 very
01:14:48.980 entertaining,
01:14:49.980 which is
01:14:50.900 what Dylan
01:14:52.060 is trying
01:14:52.500 to be,
01:14:53.060 trying to
01:14:53.500 be entertaining,
01:14:54.320 totally
01:14:54.620 succeeding,
01:14:55.780 making some
01:14:56.580 kind of a
01:14:57.160 political point?
01:14:58.060 Well,
01:14:58.280 maybe.
01:14:59.280 I'm not
01:14:59.800 sure if
01:15:00.060 the point
01:15:00.420 is being
01:15:00.780 made,
01:15:01.280 but everybody
01:15:02.540 gets their
01:15:02.980 free speech.
01:15:04.420 You know,
01:15:04.780 I guess I'm
01:15:07.440 as pro-Dylan
01:15:08.860 Mulvaney as
01:15:09.780 I am pro-Colin
01:15:12.160 Kaepernick.
01:15:14.240 Because sometimes
01:15:14.840 you have to
01:15:15.320 separate the
01:15:17.420 quality of the
01:15:18.200 protest or the
01:15:19.540 quality of the
01:15:20.180 communication from
01:15:21.740 whether you
01:15:22.400 agree with it.
01:15:23.800 You could
01:15:24.220 disagree with
01:15:25.040 Colin Kaepernick
01:15:26.180 and you
01:15:27.680 could disagree
01:15:28.240 with Dylan
01:15:30.080 Mulvaney,
01:15:31.800 but I don't
01:15:32.540 disagree with
01:15:33.220 the fact that
01:15:33.740 they're both
01:15:34.120 effective.
01:15:35.300 They're both
01:15:35.720 putting their
01:15:36.160 message out
01:15:36.720 there.
01:15:38.160 Good for
01:15:38.580 them.
01:15:39.780 That's the
01:15:40.400 America I
01:15:41.100 like living
01:15:41.680 in.
01:15:42.280 I like
01:15:42.840 living in
01:15:43.360 the America
01:15:44.140 where Colin
01:15:45.000 Kaepernick can
01:15:45.680 do his
01:15:45.980 thing,
01:15:46.980 make his
01:15:47.960 message,
01:15:48.380 even if you
01:15:48.780 don't agree
01:15:49.160 with it,
01:15:49.920 and that
01:15:50.940 Dylan can
01:15:51.480 do her
01:15:52.380 thing,
01:15:53.680 and that
01:15:54.100 you get to
01:15:54.620 see all of
01:15:55.040 it.
01:15:55.220 that is
01:15:56.660 the country
01:15:57.100 I want to
01:15:57.640 live in,
01:15:58.520 so that
01:15:58.980 works for
01:15:59.720 me.
01:16:02.280 It would
01:16:02.860 be better
01:16:03.240 if cartoonists
01:16:03.980 were not
01:16:04.380 cancelled for
01:16:05.160 the wrong
01:16:08.720 reasons.
01:16:09.940 By the way,
01:16:10.500 have you ever
01:16:10.900 met anybody
01:16:11.580 in person who
01:16:12.420 thought I
01:16:12.820 should be
01:16:13.100 cancelled?
01:16:14.240 It's interesting
01:16:14.820 because I
01:16:15.520 haven't.
01:16:17.000 You have.
01:16:18.160 You have.
01:16:18.740 In person.
01:16:19.640 In person.
01:16:21.840 Really.
01:16:23.660 Do you know
01:16:24.360 that I
01:16:24.660 haven't?
01:16:26.440 Oh,
01:16:26.900 most of
01:16:27.220 you say
01:16:27.500 yes.
01:16:28.040 Interesting.
01:16:30.380 But I
01:16:31.180 think maybe
01:16:31.540 I asked
01:16:31.920 the question
01:16:32.380 the wrong
01:16:32.720 way.
01:16:33.720 There are
01:16:34.180 lots of
01:16:34.520 people who
01:16:34.900 are happy
01:16:35.360 that I'm
01:16:35.800 cancelled.
01:16:37.400 That's a
01:16:37.900 different
01:16:38.120 question.
01:16:40.000 And I
01:16:40.520 think the
01:16:40.840 people who
01:16:41.280 are happy
01:16:41.800 that I'm
01:16:42.140 cancelled
01:16:42.460 are being
01:16:42.940 conflated
01:16:43.440 with the
01:16:44.540 people who
01:16:44.940 think it
01:16:45.300 was the
01:16:45.560 right
01:16:45.740 thing.
01:16:47.040 Because I
01:16:47.540 have not
01:16:47.860 talked to
01:16:48.280 anybody who
01:16:48.780 thought I
01:16:49.040 should be
01:16:49.300 cancelled.
01:16:49.840 Not one.
01:16:51.440 But maybe
01:16:52.060 they're just
01:16:52.420 afraid to say
01:16:53.080 it to me
01:16:53.420 to my
01:16:53.900 face.
01:16:55.020 Do you
01:16:55.240 think that's
01:16:55.660 the case?
01:16:56.760 Because
01:16:57.200 everybody I've
01:16:57.800 talked to
01:16:58.220 on social
01:16:58.980 media,
01:16:59.940 no matter
01:17:00.400 whether they're
01:17:00.940 left or
01:17:01.340 right,
01:17:02.000 on social
01:17:02.580 media,
01:17:03.700 I've not
01:17:04.200 personally
01:17:04.700 talked to
01:17:05.120 anybody who
01:17:05.480 thought I
01:17:05.800 should be
01:17:06.060 cancelled.
01:17:07.780 Black or
01:17:08.460 white.
01:17:09.820 I haven't
01:17:10.420 talked to
01:17:10.740 anybody.
01:17:11.720 And I
01:17:12.080 would love
01:17:12.620 to hear the
01:17:13.060 argument to
01:17:13.640 my face.
01:17:14.800 I'd love
01:17:15.120 somebody to
01:17:15.600 make that
01:17:15.920 argument.
01:17:16.440 Because I
01:17:16.880 think they
01:17:17.160 would look
01:17:17.460 silly,
01:17:17.940 wouldn't
01:17:18.060 they?
01:17:18.240 like they
01:17:20.360 would have
01:17:20.940 to argue
01:17:21.340 that someone
01:17:22.000 who was
01:17:22.380 happily reading
01:17:23.120 Dilber and
01:17:24.440 was completely
01:17:25.240 unaware that
01:17:26.260 a few thousand
01:17:27.960 people saw
01:17:28.620 me say one
01:17:29.220 thing one
01:17:29.620 time.
01:17:31.300 Like what
01:17:31.680 would be the
01:17:32.100 logic of
01:17:32.840 taking away
01:17:33.880 that product
01:17:35.040 that people
01:17:35.500 want to
01:17:35.960 see?
01:17:36.780 It doesn't
01:17:37.140 make any
01:17:37.520 sense.
01:17:39.780 I've never
01:17:40.320 seen anybody
01:17:40.800 in favor of
01:17:41.720 it.
01:17:41.840 persuasive
01:17:45.740 English is
01:17:46.280 hard to
01:17:46.560 grasp.
01:17:47.480 I'm glad
01:17:47.760 you recommend
01:17:49.100 my books.
01:17:51.040 Did I
01:17:51.380 reach out to
01:17:51.860 the New
01:17:52.080 York Times
01:17:52.540 about what?
01:17:53.720 Why would
01:17:54.140 I reach out
01:17:54.600 to the New
01:17:54.900 York Times?
01:17:57.000 No, I'm
01:17:57.620 going to take
01:17:57.960 the Richard
01:17:58.660 Gere
01:17:59.020 approach,
01:17:59.880 which I've
01:18:00.980 respected so
01:18:01.640 much.
01:18:01.880 I've told
01:18:02.180 you about
01:18:02.460 this,
01:18:02.780 right?
01:18:03.760 That Richard
01:18:04.340 Gere didn't
01:18:04.980 deny that a
01:18:06.180 gerbil was
01:18:07.240 shoved up
01:18:07.900 his butt.
01:18:09.200 Now, I'm
01:18:09.720 sure that
01:18:10.240 didn't happen.
01:18:10.860 I'm very,
01:18:12.340 very sure
01:18:12.720 that never
01:18:13.200 happened.
01:18:14.120 But the
01:18:14.480 fact that
01:18:14.840 he's never
01:18:15.280 denied it
01:18:15.980 makes him
01:18:16.740 a legend
01:18:17.120 in my
01:18:17.540 mind.
01:18:19.040 I love
01:18:19.780 that sense
01:18:21.460 of self
01:18:22.000 where he
01:18:23.280 can be
01:18:23.640 contained in
01:18:24.380 his own
01:18:25.140 movie of
01:18:26.360 himself,
01:18:27.600 and what
01:18:28.020 the entire
01:18:28.560 globe thinks
01:18:29.500 about what
01:18:30.520 he did with
01:18:31.080 a gerbil
01:18:31.580 is completely
01:18:33.020 irrelevant to
01:18:33.920 his everyday
01:18:34.340 life.
01:18:35.280 So he just
01:18:35.720 ignores it.
01:18:38.060 The strangest
01:18:39.580 thing about
01:18:40.020 my cancellation
01:18:40.680 and I don't
01:18:41.580 know if you
01:18:41.920 would be
01:18:42.140 surprised by
01:18:42.740 this,
01:18:43.460 the strangest
01:18:44.240 thing is that
01:18:44.760 it didn't
01:18:45.080 change my
01:18:45.540 day.
01:18:46.860 Isn't that
01:18:47.200 weird?
01:18:48.340 Like, I don't
01:18:48.780 think it
01:18:49.060 changed anything
01:18:49.640 except that I
01:18:51.040 have more
01:18:51.640 freedom and I'm
01:18:52.660 enjoying myself
01:18:53.280 more.
01:18:54.220 But it didn't
01:18:54.980 have any
01:18:55.340 negative consequence.
01:18:57.300 Well, you
01:18:58.000 know, I quit
01:18:58.400 the gym but I
01:18:59.300 wanted to quit
01:19:00.140 that gym anyway.
01:19:02.600 If I went to
01:19:03.440 the gym today,
01:19:05.080 when some time
01:19:06.400 has passed,
01:19:07.080 I wouldn't have
01:19:07.660 any problem.
01:19:08.900 It was a
01:19:09.380 very short
01:19:10.000 few weeks
01:19:10.820 where people
01:19:11.900 cared.
01:19:13.180 Here's one of
01:19:13.740 the best
01:19:14.080 lessons of
01:19:15.380 life.
01:19:16.140 People don't
01:19:16.620 care about
01:19:17.040 you.
01:19:17.760 I saw
01:19:18.040 somebody tweet
01:19:18.580 this the
01:19:18.960 other day.
01:19:19.740 One of the
01:19:20.080 most important
01:19:20.780 things you can
01:19:21.420 learn in life
01:19:22.100 is that people
01:19:23.200 really, really
01:19:24.100 don't care about
01:19:24.820 you.
01:19:25.680 They care about
01:19:26.420 themselves.
01:19:27.800 So when the
01:19:28.540 topic was
01:19:29.520 fresh, I
01:19:31.620 might have been
01:19:32.120 approached.
01:19:33.200 But that would
01:19:33.960 have been about
01:19:34.380 the person, not
01:19:35.480 about me.
01:19:36.820 As soon as
01:19:37.380 the topic is
01:19:38.080 no longer in
01:19:38.760 their minds,
01:19:39.740 like it doesn't
01:19:40.540 have any active
01:19:42.100 feeling to them,
01:19:43.740 then they don't
01:19:44.440 care about me.
01:19:45.760 I'm completely
01:19:46.600 irrelevant to this.
01:19:47.700 It was something
01:19:48.200 happening in
01:19:48.780 people's minds
01:19:49.540 that they might,
01:19:51.360 you know,
01:19:52.720 might cause some
01:19:53.800 action on me.
01:19:55.160 But it was
01:19:56.260 never about me
01:19:57.060 because nobody
01:19:57.640 cares.
01:19:58.560 So all I have
01:19:59.360 to do is wait
01:19:59.940 a month and I
01:20:01.140 could have gone
01:20:01.980 back to my
01:20:02.620 original gym if I
01:20:03.620 just waited a
01:20:04.220 month.
01:20:04.420 there wouldn't
01:20:05.600 be a single
01:20:06.080 person who
01:20:06.560 cared after a
01:20:07.840 month.
01:20:10.240 Yeah, it's
01:20:11.260 all about the
01:20:12.220 play, exactly.
01:20:13.500 It's about the
01:20:14.120 putting on the
01:20:15.640 performance.
01:20:22.160 All right.
01:20:30.360 It is
01:20:31.000 questioned your
01:20:31.900 fans for
01:20:32.640 continued
01:20:33.140 following.
01:20:33.560 Okay.
01:20:34.420 All right.
01:20:36.720 That's all we
01:20:37.180 got for now.
01:20:38.220 YouTube, I'll
01:20:40.060 see you tomorrow.
01:20:40.780 Thanks for
01:20:41.120 joining.
01:20:43.500 Best.
