Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2159 Scott Adams： Happy 4th Of July, Americans, Let's Talk About Some Fun Stuff & Sip Coffee

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do.

00:00:04.960 Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization and maybe even American history.

00:00:12.020 Happy Fourth of July to all Americans and people who like Americans.

00:00:16.800 I don't know why, but you do.

00:00:19.400 And maybe you'll be an American someday, too. Who knows? Could happen.

00:00:24.360 But today, if you would like to take your Fourth of July experience

00:00:28.960 to levels that have never been seen by anybody in the entire world,

00:00:34.640 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a gel, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:00:40.560 fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

00:00:44.380 Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.

00:00:47.120 It's the Fourth of July dopamine hit that you've been waiting for.

00:00:50.260 It's called the Simultane Sip. It happens now.

00:00:53.440 Ah. Delightful.

00:01:02.080 All right. Well, the news is a little bit slow. A little bit slow.

00:01:08.200 So if we run out of things to talk about and you still want to do a little more,

00:01:11.400 I'll fire up spaces so that we can take some callers and talk about free will and is music a dangerous drug.

00:01:21.500 But that's only if we have time. Let's talk about the news.

00:01:24.820 This is a big story. It doesn't seem like a big story.

00:01:27.820 But I like to get the stories early before they grow into something big.

00:01:33.440 And that's really what I'm famous for.

00:01:36.480 I'm famous for identifying things earlier than other people identify them.

00:01:40.500 And here's one. I don't think anybody's called this out yet.

00:01:44.720 There was a study done on monkeys, and they gave them a natural substance called a clotho or clotho or something.

00:01:52.100 K-L-O-T-H-O.

00:01:53.880 And they found that it substantially made the monkeys' cognitive abilities improve.

00:01:59.920 Their cognitive abilities improved.

00:02:03.440 I'm just going to say, let's stop there.

00:02:12.340 All right, we've improved the monkey's cognitive ability by, you know, X percentage.

00:02:18.160 Maybe we should just call that good.

00:02:21.620 You know?

00:02:23.140 I mean, you know, it could get out of hand.

00:02:27.840 Let's just say I've seen the movie.

00:02:29.640 And making monkeys smarter never works out well.

00:02:34.360 That never works out.

00:02:36.260 Don't make the monkeys smarter.

00:02:39.340 That's all.

00:02:41.300 Did you see the Trump rally?

00:02:43.680 There's a clip of President Trump.

00:02:50.380 He's mocking Hunter Biden and Joe Biden.

00:02:52.740 And he was saying Joe Biden was bad at everything, but he was a good vice president because he kissed Obama's ass.

00:03:03.540 Big applause line.

00:03:04.980 Big applause line.

00:03:06.360 And you know, the thing that I say about Trump, there you go, Herber, you're gone.

00:03:13.640 Thanks for being an asshole on the 4th of July.

00:03:15.760 That makes you a double asshole.

00:03:18.180 If you're an asshole on the 4th of July, you get a double.

00:03:22.100 All right.

00:03:24.740 The thing I love about Trump, and which binds him to his audience, is he says out loud the part that you are thinking.

00:03:33.020 He does that better than any politician.

00:03:35.180 You're thinking it, and then it just comes out of his mouth exactly the way you were thinking it.

00:03:40.580 I always thought that Joe Biden's vice presidency was entirely about kissing Barack Obama's ass.

00:03:48.100 That's what it looked like.

00:03:49.460 It looked like he was adding nothing but kissing his ass.

00:03:52.940 And, oh, we're so friends, and he's my friend.

00:03:56.260 Oh, my friend.

00:03:57.660 He's my best friend.

00:03:59.040 We're friends.

00:04:00.060 We're such good friends.

00:04:01.660 And it just looked all creepy and weird.

00:04:03.560 And then Trump just calls it out.

00:04:05.720 It's like, he was only a good vice president because he kissed Obama's ass.

00:04:08.980 And I thought, okay, that's exactly what I thought.

00:04:12.060 That's not even slightly not what I thought.

00:04:14.700 That's exactly what I thought.

00:04:17.000 Anyway, it's just funny when he does that.

00:04:19.020 He's the master of that.

00:04:21.660 You know, I've said this before, but Trump will never get the credit he's due for being one of the best writers of our time.

00:04:31.940 Did he ever think about that?

00:04:32.980 I mean, I'm sure he had ghost writers for his books and stuff.

00:04:35.600 I'm not talking about that.

00:04:37.000 I'm talking about, you know, when he ad libs, when he gives a response to something, when he writes a tweet.

00:04:43.820 Just his phrasing and the points of, I don't know, the points of leverage he goes after are different from everybody's.

00:04:56.580 There's nobody who writes like him or talks like him.

00:04:58.940 Nobody.

00:05:00.020 And you think by now that people would, because it's obviously working.

00:05:04.340 So if you could imitate that, you would.

00:05:06.420 I mean, somebody would, not me, but somebody would.

00:05:10.600 It's just, it's literally, you can't imitate it.

00:05:13.660 He's just operating in his own little zone of weird effectiveness that nobody even knows why it works in some cases.

00:05:20.380 But, you know, maybe someday he'll get his due.

00:05:25.000 His verbal command is just off the charts.

00:05:30.020 It's just crazy.

00:05:32.600 All right.

00:05:32.980 So it looks like Meta, once known as Facebook, is going to announce its Twitter competitor product.

00:05:46.220 It's going to be called Threads.

00:05:48.760 And it's going to come out on Thursday, they say, maybe.

00:05:53.200 And the pundits are saying it could be a big deal.

00:05:57.320 Now, what's different about it is that it's going to have some kind of connection with Instagram,

00:06:02.540 so it can immediately take your Instagram traffic over to your other app.

00:06:08.100 Now, that's a really big deal.

00:06:10.200 That's like a really, really big deal.

00:06:13.040 But here's what I think they may have not thought through.

00:06:20.180 Twitter, correct me if I'm wrong,

00:06:22.520 but Twitter attracts an entirely different kind of person than Instagram.

00:06:27.320 Now, most people have both.

00:06:29.380 If you're in social media, you probably have both.

00:06:31.460 But don't you use one way more than the other?

00:06:35.420 The people who have 4 million followers on Instagram,

00:06:38.760 unless they're also a big star in another way,

00:06:42.520 they don't have big Twitter and vice versa.

00:06:46.860 I mean, I've got nearly a million people on Twitter,

00:06:51.060 and last I checked, I think my Instagram was 15,000, something like that.

00:06:57.760 Now, I'm not really an Instagram person,

00:07:01.100 meaning that there's nothing I could do to grow my Instagram traffic.

00:07:05.440 Well, I suppose I could go full Andrew Tate.

00:07:08.420 That would do it.

00:07:09.720 But no, even that wouldn't work.

00:07:11.060 At my current age, you'd still have to have the physicality of a younger, good-looking guy.

00:07:16.480 So I couldn't match Tate in the younger, good-looking guy category.

00:07:22.360 So, I mean, he's sort of an ideal Instagram personality.

00:07:27.600 He's got the visual persuasion.

00:07:31.860 He's got that lockdown.

00:07:32.740 So, I'm going to throw this consideration into the mix.

00:07:39.780 I don't think those two groups mix.

00:07:42.860 And I think that if you take the Instagram people

00:07:44.940 and move them to something that looks like a Twitter,

00:07:49.520 it's not going to be very interesting.

00:07:52.660 It will just be people having to repost the same thing they posted.

00:07:55.620 So your Instagram influencer isn't going to start coming up with a political game

00:08:01.660 because they've got a new tool.

00:08:04.880 They're going to do what they're doing

00:08:06.140 and then just repost it in the other place.

00:08:08.780 Now, that could be enough for lots of traffic.

00:08:11.540 I mean, that might be enough.

00:08:12.620 But I don't see it competing with Twitter

00:08:14.900 for the political opinion stuff.

00:08:18.460 It might just get a lot of traffic of people

00:08:21.740 showing naughty pictures in the food.

00:08:24.660 I've got a feeling that Twitter is where the people

00:08:26.560 are going to go to a debate.

00:08:28.940 And this new thing is where they're going to go to see

00:08:31.160 the second time that they see that same picture

00:08:34.240 from that Instagram woman.

00:08:36.880 Well, I saw it over on Instagram.

00:08:39.140 Ella checks threads.

00:08:40.580 Okay, same picture.

00:08:42.560 Same picture.

00:08:43.740 Because why wouldn't it?

00:08:45.640 The influencers are not going to do separate content.

00:08:48.460 They're just going to mirror their content in the other platform

00:08:51.080 because it's easy to do.

00:08:53.520 So I don't know.

00:08:54.600 I don't see a dethroning Twitter in terms of influence.

00:08:58.060 It might be successful.

00:08:59.880 But in terms of political influence, social influence,

00:09:04.060 I don't know.

00:09:04.340 We'll see.

00:09:05.320 But Zuckerberg's got a good track record with this stuff.

00:09:08.740 So we can assume that it's at least competently put together.

00:09:14.980 I was listening to a bunch of smart people

00:09:17.100 scare the pants off me about insurance companies and banks

00:09:20.680 all being insolvent.

00:09:24.480 Which apparently is true.

00:09:26.720 Our entire insurance industry and all of our banking,

00:09:30.440 they're all worth nothing at the moment.

00:09:34.720 Like, actually worth nothing.

00:09:36.200 If you were going to buy any big bank

00:09:38.720 or any big insurance company,

00:09:41.540 if you could get them to sell it to you for $1,

00:09:45.420 they would.

00:09:48.160 If they could get rid of their debts

00:09:49.760 and sell their whole business to you for $1,

00:09:52.900 they can't.

00:09:54.020 Because they can't get rid of all their debts.

00:09:55.840 But if they could, they would.

00:09:57.020 They're actually worth nothing.

00:09:59.100 The entire, both industries are worth nothing.

00:10:01.560 Actually nothing.

00:10:02.240 They're worth less than nothing.

00:10:05.340 And the credit or blame for that

00:10:08.580 is being given to the Fed.

00:10:11.540 So the Fed, of course, said a...

00:10:14.100 I'll give you the idiot's simple explanation.

00:10:17.640 You don't need the complicated one.

00:10:19.500 The simple explanation is that the Fed

00:10:21.440 sets interest rates.

00:10:23.520 And both insurance companies and banks

00:10:27.060 had, they must have a number of business concerns

00:10:31.220 and investments of their own,

00:10:33.200 which were at lower interest rate returns.

00:10:37.100 So as soon as the interest rate was higher

00:10:38.880 than their returns,

00:10:40.840 they just can't make money.

00:10:42.360 It's basically impossible.

00:10:44.880 So the Fed put banks and insurance companies

00:10:47.640 into non-existence in terms of their value.

00:10:51.940 They still function.

00:10:54.880 And I don't know exactly how this works.

00:10:58.200 You know, having a degree in economics

00:11:00.060 isn't helping me here at all.

00:11:02.040 Because we've never been here.

00:11:04.420 There's nobody who can say,

00:11:05.720 well, the last three times we were in this situation,

00:11:09.200 we've never really been here.

00:11:11.540 But I'll give you my highest level assumptions.

00:11:16.940 When something's this big,

00:11:20.540 usually there's plenty of energy to fix it.

00:11:24.020 So the Adams law of slow moving disasters

00:11:26.720 should be enough.

00:11:29.060 You know, I always say that if you can see

00:11:30.360 a problem coming from far away,

00:11:32.380 if you've got enough time,

00:11:34.580 you can do your workarounds and your fixes.

00:11:36.820 And we're very good at that.

00:11:38.060 We almost always succeed if we have time.

00:11:40.860 So the only thing I worry about

00:11:42.380 are things I didn't see coming,

00:11:44.180 such as a pandemic, right?

00:11:46.780 I know there were people in the world

00:11:48.720 who were preparing,

00:11:49.620 but generally speaking,

00:11:50.640 the world wasn't ready for that at all.

00:11:54.380 And I worry,

00:11:55.800 so I worry about the things I don't see coming.

00:11:58.360 But this one we do see.

00:12:00.420 Yeah, all the smartest people

00:12:02.120 are seeing it very clearly.

00:12:03.460 It's in the news.

00:12:04.340 We see it coming.

00:12:05.760 So probably there's a way

00:12:08.700 to keep those things open long enough

00:12:10.800 that interest rates adjust

00:12:13.520 and their pricing adjusts

00:12:15.200 and the market adjusts.

00:12:17.820 Probably.

00:12:19.080 But who knows?

00:12:21.260 All right.

00:12:26.520 Let's see.

00:12:28.400 I saw some...

00:12:29.140 I didn't have this in my notes,

00:12:31.180 but I just saw it.

00:12:31.780 I saw somebody speculating

00:12:34.140 that Romania has already

00:12:35.940 probably gotten control

00:12:38.900 of the Tate Brothers crypto,

00:12:41.740 their Bitcoin.

00:12:43.100 But they would not have been able

00:12:44.640 to get anything

00:12:45.140 that was on a physical wallet,

00:12:48.840 you know,

00:12:49.100 like an actual metal wallet.

00:12:52.500 But you would think

00:12:53.700 that they might even be able

00:12:54.920 to coerce them

00:12:57.000 to give up all their codes

00:12:58.800 and passwords and stuff.

00:13:00.100 I don't know.

00:13:01.300 So remember when

00:13:02.720 they first got picked up?

00:13:04.080 Do you remember my speculation?

00:13:06.660 Part of my speculation was

00:13:08.260 that the entire play

00:13:10.380 was just to steal their Bitcoin.

00:13:12.500 And it was just a corrupt government

00:13:14.020 who was going to work them over

00:13:15.160 until they gave up their Bitcoin.

00:13:16.980 And then they'd let them go

00:13:18.040 or put them in jail or something.

00:13:20.300 But to me,

00:13:20.780 it looked like government theft.

00:13:24.280 And I don't know if it is.

00:13:26.300 It's too early to say that.

00:13:27.540 But I'd be really surprised

00:13:29.360 if the amount of Bitcoin

00:13:30.500 that they had

00:13:31.500 when they went into prison

00:13:32.560 or under custody

00:13:34.040 is the same

00:13:35.540 as when they're done with this.

00:13:37.600 And I don't mean

00:13:38.240 because they spent it

00:13:39.100 or gave it away.

00:13:40.220 I just feel like

00:13:41.060 the government's trying

00:13:41.880 to claw some of that

00:13:43.620 into their own pockets

00:13:44.680 just because it's Romania.

00:13:47.000 Don't know.

00:13:47.860 Pure speculation.

00:13:49.780 But I'd be real surprised

00:13:51.580 if they come out of it whole.

00:13:53.120 All right.

00:13:56.700 Moscow says

00:13:57.660 they shot down

00:13:58.520 five Ukrainian drones.

00:14:01.300 Do you believe

00:14:02.280 that there were

00:14:02.920 five Ukrainian drones

00:14:04.520 over Moscow?

00:14:06.700 Do you believe that?

00:14:09.380 Now, there was the one

00:14:11.280 reported one.

00:14:12.960 Reported.

00:14:15.700 I don't know.

00:14:17.580 I don't know about this.

00:14:20.660 And they got all five, right?

00:14:22.360 They got all five.

00:14:25.320 Yeah.

00:14:26.100 Now, you might say,

00:14:27.960 I wonder if that's

00:14:28.620 the Wagner group.

00:14:29.980 Because I told you

00:14:31.080 that what should be going on

00:14:32.740 is decapitation efforts

00:14:35.760 all over the place.

00:14:37.200 So you should assume

00:14:38.580 that Putin is still trying

00:14:41.100 to kill Zelensky if he can.

00:14:43.460 You should assume

00:14:44.200 that Zelensky is going to try

00:14:45.620 to take care of Putin

00:14:46.540 if they can.

00:14:48.060 I mean, if they had a way

00:14:48.800 to do it.

00:14:49.700 You can assume

00:14:50.260 that the Wagner group

00:14:51.280 probably has some people

00:14:52.300 and some traitors

00:14:53.080 who would take care of Putin

00:14:54.660 if they could.

00:14:55.980 Putin did his first

00:14:57.700 public appearance,

00:14:58.680 I guess,

00:14:59.200 since some of the badness

00:15:00.300 started.

00:15:01.380 His first one in a while,

00:15:02.680 but it was on Zoom.

00:15:04.300 So the first time

00:15:05.260 you see Putin,

00:15:06.700 after, you know,

00:15:07.560 a number of days

00:15:08.460 since the last time

00:15:10.140 you saw him,

00:15:11.020 he's on Zoom.

00:15:11.700 Do you think Putin's worried

00:15:13.760 about his own security?

00:15:16.880 Yeah.

00:15:17.980 And those drones

00:15:18.980 are all you need.

00:15:19.900 I mean,

00:15:20.220 all it takes

00:15:20.700 is one drone

00:15:21.320 to get through

00:15:21.980 if they know

00:15:23.320 where he is.

00:15:24.640 And do you think

00:15:25.500 that if you're Putin,

00:15:26.360 it's kind of hard

00:15:27.180 to move around

00:15:27.920 without people

00:15:28.600 knowing where you are?

00:15:30.600 Don't you think

00:15:31.060 there's always somebody

00:15:32.060 who knows

00:15:32.400 where Putin is?

00:15:34.120 I mean,

00:15:34.900 you know,

00:15:35.200 beyond his bodyguards.

00:15:37.000 So you would think

00:15:38.220 that he couldn't

00:15:39.360 move anywhere

00:15:40.040 without some number

00:15:41.760 of people,

00:15:42.340 and probably a big

00:15:43.100 number of people.

00:15:44.380 I mean,

00:15:44.680 there could be

00:15:45.300 a hundred people.

00:15:47.900 You know,

00:15:48.120 maybe a hundred people

00:15:49.100 at least.

00:15:49.840 Probably more than that.

00:15:51.200 I'll bet if Putin moves,

00:15:53.120 let's say,

00:15:53.600 from his dasha

00:15:54.660 to somewhere else,

00:15:56.320 I'll bet there's

00:15:57.340 closer to a few hundred

00:15:58.940 people who are aware of it.

00:16:01.160 And you think that

00:16:02.020 after all these years

00:16:03.100 we don't have one,

00:16:05.280 not even one,

00:16:06.840 of those hundreds

00:16:07.580 of people in our pocket,

00:16:09.440 not one,

00:16:10.900 for unlimited amount

00:16:12.140 of money

00:16:12.440 for that information.

00:16:13.300 All they have to do

00:16:14.840 is, you know,

00:16:15.740 they don't even have

00:16:16.440 to make a phone call.

00:16:17.620 They just have to

00:16:18.360 tell their friend,

00:16:19.780 hey,

00:16:21.700 could you,

00:16:22.760 you know,

00:16:23.280 there's no connection

00:16:24.060 between us,

00:16:24.680 can you go drop

00:16:25.420 a phone call

00:16:25.960 to the American Embassy,

00:16:28.140 something like that.

00:16:29.100 Now,

00:16:29.340 that's not the way

00:16:29.880 you'd do it

00:16:30.400 because all their

00:16:31.160 communications

00:16:31.920 to the Embassy

00:16:32.540 is, I'm sure,

00:16:33.540 monitored.

00:16:35.420 All right.

00:16:37.140 Yeah,

00:16:37.700 maybe the bodyguards

00:16:38.960 wouldn't turn,

00:16:39.980 but there's got to be

00:16:40.720 somebody who works

00:16:41.600 in food services

00:16:42.680 or something.

00:16:45.220 Somebody,

00:16:45.920 maybe the motor pool

00:16:46.980 people.

00:16:48.140 I mean,

00:16:48.360 if you worked

00:16:48.800 in the motor pool

00:16:49.660 for, you know,

00:16:51.640 the Putin entourage,

00:16:52.900 you'd probably know

00:16:53.460 where he's going,

00:16:54.720 right,

00:16:55.040 because you've got

00:16:55.460 to get the stuff

00:16:56.020 ready to go

00:16:56.680 wherever it needs

00:16:57.240 to go.

00:16:58.840 So,

00:16:59.500 I think it's a big

00:17:01.140 old decapitation

00:17:02.220 game over there.

00:17:03.960 Everybody's trying

00:17:04.500 to take out

00:17:05.000 the other leaders,

00:17:06.060 more so than ever.

00:17:07.260 All right,

00:17:09.380 well,

00:17:09.560 the California

00:17:10.060 Reparations Task

00:17:11.020 Force,

00:17:12.200 also known as

00:17:13.300 the most ridiculous

00:17:14.380 organization ever

00:17:15.740 created,

00:17:17.020 who perhaps

00:17:18.640 still thinks

00:17:19.420 anybody's going

00:17:20.080 to take their

00:17:20.660 recommendations,

00:17:22.020 they've upped

00:17:22.840 their ask,

00:17:24.620 and now they want

00:17:25.540 to ask for

00:17:26.380 child support

00:17:28.380 for black people

00:17:29.320 to be suspended

00:17:30.100 so that they,

00:17:32.560 you know,

00:17:32.740 their child support

00:17:33.700 debts would be

00:17:34.460 wiped clean,

00:17:35.980 just for black

00:17:37.360 Americans.

00:17:39.320 So,

00:17:39.940 they probably

00:17:40.480 got done with

00:17:41.180 asking for their

00:17:41.940 millions of dollars,

00:17:43.220 and they're like,

00:17:43.860 oh,

00:17:44.360 shoot,

00:17:45.600 did anybody think

00:17:46.500 to throw in that

00:17:47.360 child support thing?

00:17:48.620 Oh,

00:17:48.940 it's not too late.

00:17:50.120 It's not too late.

00:17:51.000 So,

00:17:51.200 they threw that

00:17:51.680 in there,

00:17:52.040 too.

00:17:54.120 Do you think

00:17:55.140 that in their minds

00:17:56.140 they think some

00:17:56.800 of this is going

00:17:57.340 to happen?

00:17:58.860 Do you think

00:17:59.320 that the Reparations

00:18:00.280 Task Force

00:18:01.080 has created

00:18:02.400 in their minds

00:18:03.280 a little world

00:18:04.100 in which

00:18:04.660 some portion

00:18:05.940 of what they're

00:18:06.460 going to ask

00:18:06.800 for is going

00:18:07.240 to happen?

00:18:08.360 I'll bet they

00:18:08.760 have.

00:18:10.120 Because they're

00:18:10.680 acting like they

00:18:11.440 think it's going

00:18:11.960 to happen,

00:18:12.420 and they're making

00:18:12.860 sure the details

00:18:13.640 are taken care

00:18:14.340 of.

00:18:15.600 I can't even

00:18:16.380 imagine it.

00:18:17.860 Like,

00:18:18.260 in my wildest

00:18:19.120 imagination,

00:18:19.920 I can't imagine

00:18:20.620 this happening.

00:18:21.580 I mean,

00:18:21.940 it would be the

00:18:22.560 one thing that

00:18:23.060 could turn

00:18:23.400 California Republican.

00:18:26.720 Maybe.

00:18:27.760 I mean,

00:18:28.140 I suppose

00:18:28.460 anything's possible.

00:18:30.260 All right,

00:18:30.640 let's talk about

00:18:31.280 all the racists

00:18:31.960 in the world.

00:18:32.480 So Soldad O'Brien

00:18:34.760 is getting some

00:18:35.340 heat on social

00:18:36.100 media because

00:18:38.840 she didn't like

00:18:39.480 the way that

00:18:41.600 Asian Americans

00:18:42.720 won their

00:18:43.900 victory in

00:18:44.780 affirmative action

00:18:45.740 so that they

00:18:46.280 were no longer

00:18:46.840 discriminated against

00:18:47.880 for higher

00:18:48.300 education.

00:18:49.540 And this is

00:18:49.920 what Soldad O'Brien

00:18:51.060 said about this

00:18:51.840 victory of

00:18:53.020 fairness and

00:18:53.980 equality.

00:18:55.980 Congrats on

00:18:56.700 screwing over

00:18:57.380 other people of

00:18:58.140 color, ma'am.

00:18:58.900 particularly

00:19:00.420 those whose

00:19:01.120 efforts in

00:19:01.660 civil rights

00:19:02.320 paved the

00:19:03.320 way for your

00:19:04.020 family to

00:19:04.560 come to

00:19:04.920 America.

00:19:08.080 So social

00:19:09.820 media is

00:19:10.340 calling Soldad

00:19:11.240 O'Brien

00:19:11.780 a big old

00:19:13.000 racist.

00:19:14.540 That would be

00:19:15.280 based on the

00:19:15.800 fact that she's

00:19:16.660 saying big

00:19:17.400 racist stuff.

00:19:19.060 So, I mean,

00:19:19.580 that's pretty

00:19:19.920 racist.

00:19:20.760 I don't know

00:19:21.180 how you can

00:19:21.480 see it any

00:19:21.900 other way.

00:19:23.120 How would

00:19:23.460 you see this

00:19:23.960 any other way

00:19:24.780 than racist?

00:19:26.960 I can't think

00:19:27.820 of any other

00:19:28.180 way.

00:19:28.900 I'll tell you

00:19:29.360 my own

00:19:29.780 Soldad O'Brien

00:19:30.600 story.

00:19:31.880 Many years

00:19:32.600 ago, I

00:19:33.760 don't know,

00:19:34.060 25 years

00:19:34.780 ago or

00:19:35.060 something, I

00:19:36.440 met her when

00:19:37.280 she had a

00:19:38.020 less famous

00:19:39.560 job before

00:19:40.240 she broke

00:19:40.700 through.

00:19:41.560 She was on

00:19:41.960 some local

00:19:42.980 TV show.

00:19:46.940 And I

00:19:47.960 hung out with

00:19:48.500 her just

00:19:48.860 like a

00:19:49.220 little bit

00:19:50.160 between scenes

00:19:52.480 and stuff,

00:19:53.120 between takes,

00:19:53.900 I guess,

00:19:54.120 whatever it

00:19:54.500 is, between

00:19:55.640 something.

00:19:57.560 And I

00:20:01.020 got a weird

00:20:01.460 feeling from

00:20:02.120 her, which

00:20:04.860 you don't

00:20:05.160 get from

00:20:05.540 everybody, but

00:20:07.320 I got such

00:20:08.300 such a weird

00:20:09.000 creepy feeling

00:20:09.820 from her.

00:20:11.440 So, in

00:20:11.880 person, she's

00:20:12.480 kind of creepy.

00:20:13.260 I don't know.

00:20:14.320 So, I got a

00:20:15.380 vibe like I

00:20:16.100 can't explain,

00:20:17.020 but it stayed

00:20:17.440 with me for

00:20:17.940 decades.

00:20:19.300 All right,

00:20:19.880 let's talk

00:20:20.260 about our

00:20:20.580 other racist,

00:20:21.440 Joy Reid.

00:20:22.000 She may

00:20:23.680 not have

00:20:24.080 liked my

00:20:24.500 Robots Read

00:20:25.180 News comment

00:20:26.020 comic that

00:20:27.420 featured her,

00:20:28.840 but MSNBC

00:20:30.400 decided to

00:20:32.120 retweet their

00:20:33.440 article about

00:20:34.260 me being a

00:20:35.600 big old

00:20:35.960 racist provocateur.

00:20:40.320 I don't

00:20:40.960 know.

00:20:41.080 I assume it

00:20:41.540 was just

00:20:41.800 some kind

00:20:42.100 of revengey

00:20:42.860 holiday thing

00:20:43.840 that they

00:20:44.140 were doing.

00:20:45.440 But I

00:20:47.340 love having

00:20:48.220 MSNBC and

00:20:49.200 Joy Reid go

00:20:49.940 after me,

00:20:50.480 because I

00:20:53.060 don't think

00:20:53.400 anybody thinks

00:20:54.020 she's not a

00:20:54.520 racist, do

00:20:55.620 they?

00:20:57.020 She's literally

00:20:57.780 the world's

00:20:58.280 most famous

00:20:58.760 racist on

00:20:59.840 TV.

00:21:00.840 Wouldn't you

00:21:01.620 say she's

00:21:02.100 the biggest

00:21:02.780 racist on

00:21:03.600 television?

00:21:04.560 If you were

00:21:05.200 going to say

00:21:05.580 of people who

00:21:06.420 are regularly

00:21:07.260 on television,

00:21:08.520 she would be

00:21:08.940 the number

00:21:09.280 one racist.

00:21:10.720 She's the

00:21:11.200 one who's

00:21:11.880 direct about

00:21:12.560 it and

00:21:13.740 consistent.

00:21:16.480 So, I

00:21:18.200 don't mind

00:21:18.900 that at all.

00:21:19.500 So I

00:21:19.740 reprinted

00:21:20.360 I republished

00:21:21.420 my Robots

00:21:23.580 Read News

00:21:24.020 about Joy

00:21:24.560 Reid.

00:21:27.220 Anyway,

00:21:27.940 this is just

00:21:28.760 holiday stuff.

00:21:30.040 Of course,

00:21:30.580 when I

00:21:30.820 retweeted it,

00:21:31.820 I had to

00:21:32.760 remind people

00:21:33.360 that there's

00:21:33.860 no news

00:21:34.340 about public

00:21:34.920 figures that's

00:21:35.580 true.

00:21:37.160 I'm having

00:21:37.740 a good time

00:21:39.040 saying that.

00:21:40.160 Every time

00:21:40.760 on social

00:21:41.260 media,

00:21:42.200 somebody comes

00:21:42.840 after me

00:21:43.460 for, oh,

00:21:44.400 you said

00:21:44.820 that racist

00:21:45.280 thing,

00:21:46.360 all I have

00:21:46.860 to do is

00:21:47.220 say, you

00:21:47.920 know that

00:21:48.280 there's no

00:21:48.700 news about

00:21:49.260 public

00:21:49.820 figures as

00:21:50.460 true,

00:21:51.140 right?

00:21:51.940 Or at

00:21:52.500 least they

00:21:52.840 leave out

00:21:53.180 context.

00:21:54.280 And it

00:21:54.660 basically makes

00:21:55.280 the whole

00:21:55.520 thing stop.

00:21:57.060 Because nobody

00:21:57.920 wants to be

00:21:58.480 so dumb

00:21:59.120 that they

00:22:00.100 believe the

00:22:00.820 news in

00:22:01.300 2023.

00:22:03.080 There's no

00:22:03.740 Republican,

00:22:04.400 no Democrat

00:22:04.920 who's willing

00:22:06.000 to say in

00:22:06.520 public, I

00:22:07.060 believe the

00:22:07.520 news.

00:22:08.940 Think about

00:22:09.620 it.

00:22:10.020 Just think

00:22:10.460 about the

00:22:10.820 fact that I

00:22:11.360 can accuse

00:22:11.920 people of

00:22:12.480 believing news

00:22:13.500 and they'll

00:22:14.260 back off

00:22:14.780 immediately.

00:22:15.200 I'll just

00:22:17.340 say it

00:22:17.600 again, because

00:22:18.080 that's so

00:22:18.820 amazing.

00:22:20.360 We've gotten

00:22:21.000 to the point

00:22:21.500 where all I

00:22:22.180 do is say,

00:22:22.720 you believe

00:22:23.160 the news,

00:22:24.520 the news.

00:22:25.760 So you

00:22:26.360 believe the

00:22:26.820 news is

00:22:27.240 giving you

00:22:27.520 the full

00:22:27.820 story there.

00:22:29.200 And people

00:22:29.880 will just be

00:22:30.380 embarrassed that

00:22:31.460 they ever

00:22:31.920 believe the

00:22:32.500 news.

00:22:33.500 Now, I

00:22:34.640 make it more

00:22:35.260 persuasive by

00:22:36.960 limiting it to

00:22:38.020 about public

00:22:38.840 figures.

00:22:40.420 Because obviously

00:22:41.360 if the news

00:22:42.100 says there's a

00:22:42.720 war in Ukraine,

00:22:44.100 well, yeah,

00:22:44.640 there's a

00:22:44.980 war in

00:22:45.220 Ukraine.

00:22:45.680 They might

00:22:45.940 get the

00:22:46.240 details wrong,

00:22:47.060 but there's

00:22:47.600 a war in

00:22:47.940 Ukraine.

00:22:48.940 But when

00:22:49.480 they talk

00:22:49.780 about public

00:22:50.300 figures, they

00:22:50.960 might get

00:22:51.360 one or two

00:22:52.220 facts right.

00:22:53.740 For example,

00:22:54.320 if there's a

00:22:54.860 divorce, they

00:22:56.040 might get

00:22:56.420 that right.

00:22:57.880 But they're

00:22:58.380 not going to

00:22:58.700 know anything

00:22:59.180 about why

00:23:00.000 there was a

00:23:00.540 divorce, or

00:23:01.500 who did

00:23:02.380 what, or

00:23:03.300 how the

00:23:03.820 people feel

00:23:04.400 about each

00:23:04.920 other, whether

00:23:06.640 or not any

00:23:07.220 third party was

00:23:08.120 involved, any

00:23:09.220 of that stuff.

00:23:09.700 They don't

00:23:09.940 know that.

00:23:10.740 And they

00:23:11.120 would never

00:23:11.480 know that.

00:23:12.380 But it

00:23:12.640 won't stop

00:23:13.100 them from

00:23:13.480 running the

00:23:13.920 story.

00:23:14.640 So, yeah,

00:23:18.280 Joy Reid is

00:23:18.820 the most

00:23:19.120 ridiculous

00:23:19.600 figure in

00:23:20.460 the media.

00:23:21.520 But I

00:23:21.920 love the

00:23:22.260 fact that

00:23:23.260 she's

00:23:24.180 getting, that

00:23:25.780 she actually

00:23:26.620 made the

00:23:27.060 best argument

00:23:27.920 against

00:23:29.320 affirmative

00:23:29.820 action anybody

00:23:31.020 ever made,

00:23:32.040 which is she

00:23:32.760 said she

00:23:33.200 would not be

00:23:33.760 where she is

00:23:34.260 without it.

00:23:34.900 to which I

00:23:36.860 say, okay, we

00:23:41.140 probably should

00:23:41.860 have prevented

00:23:42.300 her from being

00:23:42.980 on TV.

00:23:43.880 Because I'm

00:23:44.580 not opposed to

00:23:46.360 her because she

00:23:47.320 has different

00:23:48.000 opinions than I

00:23:48.800 do, just to be

00:23:49.880 clear.

00:23:50.700 I'm not saying

00:23:51.460 she has, oh,

00:23:52.140 those left-leading

00:23:53.680 Democrat opinions.

00:23:55.360 I'm not even

00:23:56.100 sure what her

00:23:56.520 opinions are,

00:23:57.180 except, I mean,

00:23:57.880 I'm sure they're

00:23:58.400 left-leading.

00:23:58.820 I have no

00:23:59.800 quibble or

00:24:01.840 quarrel with her

00:24:02.760 about her

00:24:03.100 opinions.

00:24:04.040 There are tons

00:24:04.700 of Americans who

00:24:05.440 have different

00:24:05.820 opinions.

00:24:06.360 I don't dislike

00:24:07.080 them in any

00:24:08.140 way.

00:24:09.020 But she's a

00:24:10.520 ridiculous racist.

00:24:12.420 She's a

00:24:13.180 ridiculous racist.

00:24:14.740 And she's just

00:24:15.220 on TV every

00:24:15.980 day, like it's

00:24:17.660 not happening.

00:24:19.420 So that's a

00:24:20.300 whole different

00:24:20.860 situation.

00:24:22.820 Anyway,

00:24:24.480 favorite story

00:24:25.800 of the day is

00:24:26.580 that cocaine

00:24:27.540 was found in

00:24:28.320 the White

00:24:28.580 House, so

00:24:29.620 they immediately

00:24:30.880 evacuated the

00:24:31.820 White House.

00:24:35.840 Why would you

00:24:36.580 evacuate the

00:24:37.300 White House?

00:24:37.760 I guess they

00:24:38.200 had to figure

00:24:38.640 out if it was

00:24:39.200 cocaine first.

00:24:40.520 Maybe they

00:24:40.940 thought it was

00:24:41.380 poison.

00:24:43.360 But here's the

00:24:44.100 best part of

00:24:44.660 the story.

00:24:45.640 Now, obviously,

00:24:46.760 can we just

00:24:47.300 say, Hunter,

00:24:47.980 Hunter, Hunter,

00:24:48.640 Hunter?

00:24:49.320 You know, it's

00:24:50.100 too irresistible

00:24:51.580 to connect

00:24:52.280 Hunter visiting

00:24:53.660 recently the

00:24:54.440 White House,

00:24:55.460 and also

00:24:56.060 recently some

00:24:56.840 cocaine was

00:24:57.400 found in the

00:24:57.860 White House.

00:24:58.580 So, I get

00:24:59.420 it.

00:25:00.120 I get it.

00:25:00.800 Can we all

00:25:01.560 just say, can

00:25:03.140 we stipulate

00:25:04.000 that Hunter

00:25:05.220 Biden was

00:25:05.840 there, cocaine

00:25:07.680 was there, and

00:25:09.380 that's a funny

00:25:09.960 coincidence?

00:25:11.420 All right?

00:25:12.340 I just, I

00:25:13.300 wanted to get

00:25:13.720 that established

00:25:14.560 so that you

00:25:15.600 don't yell

00:25:16.080 Hunter, Hunter

00:25:16.920 at me in the

00:25:17.620 comments like you

00:25:18.380 are right now.

00:25:19.680 I got it.

00:25:20.700 I got this.

00:25:22.000 I got this.

00:25:23.080 You don't need

00:25:23.700 to be saying

00:25:24.220 Hunter, Hunter

00:25:24.780 in the comments

00:25:25.520 anymore.

00:25:25.820 got it.

00:25:27.540 Cocaine, Hunter,

00:25:29.560 connected.

00:25:30.480 Dots are

00:25:31.080 connected.

00:25:32.240 I got it.

00:25:32.880 You can stop

00:25:33.420 now.

00:25:34.100 All right.

00:25:34.560 All right.

00:25:34.880 Good.

00:25:36.360 But here's the

00:25:37.200 funniest part of

00:25:37.800 the story, is

00:25:39.760 that some are

00:25:40.600 suggesting that

00:25:41.840 there are so

00:25:42.460 many staffers on

00:25:43.900 cocaine that it

00:25:45.100 could have been

00:25:45.520 anybody.

00:25:48.420 Not anybody, but

00:25:49.580 there's so many

00:25:51.140 people that could

00:25:51.760 have been.

00:25:52.080 my favorite, my

00:25:54.240 favorite is that

00:25:55.000 it was Joe

00:25:55.840 Biden.

00:25:57.340 Because if you

00:25:58.120 ever wondered

00:25:58.620 how they, how

00:25:59.940 they pump him

00:26:00.680 up with

00:26:01.020 something just

00:26:01.600 before he speaks

00:26:02.360 in public, do

00:26:04.480 you imagine

00:26:05.140 that he's not

00:26:06.000 getting a little

00:26:06.980 extra, a little

00:26:08.440 extra energy right

00:26:10.160 before he goes in

00:26:10.980 public?

00:26:12.200 You don't think

00:26:13.020 that's happening?

00:26:14.220 You don't think

00:26:14.960 there's any kind

00:26:16.020 of little, just

00:26:17.320 a little extra?

00:26:18.840 You don't think

00:26:19.360 the doctors there

00:26:20.200 are the needle

00:26:20.720 or the pill

00:26:21.260 like an hour

00:26:22.540 before he speaks?

00:26:24.620 I don't think

00:26:25.340 there's any chance

00:26:26.120 he's going up

00:26:26.700 there naturally.

00:26:28.200 I don't.

00:26:29.280 I mean, I'm

00:26:29.740 sure it's legal,

00:26:30.780 whatever it's

00:26:31.180 doing, I don't

00:26:31.640 think it's illegal.

00:26:32.700 But it's funny

00:26:33.360 to imagine that

00:26:35.060 they had to give

00:26:35.640 him cocaine every

00:26:36.520 time he talked.

00:26:39.040 And now I'm

00:26:40.320 replaying all of

00:26:41.420 the Joe Biden

00:26:42.040 speeches recently,

00:26:43.520 and I'm asking

00:26:44.240 myself, is that

00:26:46.200 how you'd act if

00:26:46.980 you were on

00:26:47.300 cocaine?

00:26:48.020 Because cocaine

00:26:48.640 is not anything

00:26:49.340 I have experience

00:26:50.040 with.

00:26:50.720 So I don't

00:26:52.520 know exactly

00:26:53.020 how you act

00:26:53.780 except, you

00:26:54.980 know, more

00:26:56.600 energy, more

00:26:58.740 talkative, you

00:27:00.460 know, maybe

00:27:00.800 more alive,

00:27:04.180 something like

00:27:04.540 that.

00:27:05.220 But that seems

00:27:06.740 like it'd be the

00:27:07.320 perfect drug for

00:27:08.100 Joe Biden,

00:27:08.680 doesn't it?

00:27:09.540 Just wake him

00:27:10.280 up enough to

00:27:10.900 give some

00:27:11.720 confidence, give

00:27:13.360 his little speech

00:27:14.000 and stuff, and

00:27:14.520 then go back

00:27:14.920 to sleep?

00:27:17.000 I don't know.

00:27:17.400 Well, we'll

00:27:18.800 never know whose

00:27:19.700 cocaine it was,

00:27:20.820 but it's a fun

00:27:21.780 story.

00:27:22.860 Get the cocaine

00:27:23.560 out of the White

00:27:24.200 House and Trump

00:27:24.900 back in.

00:27:28.140 All right.

00:27:28.800 So we heard that

00:27:32.420 the younger

00:27:33.400 Soros, who's

00:27:34.340 taking over the

00:27:35.200 open society for

00:27:36.440 his dad, George

00:27:38.320 Soros, he's

00:27:39.540 going to cut 40%

00:27:40.500 of his staff, but

00:27:41.960 not change what

00:27:43.540 he's doing.

00:27:44.060 He's still going

00:27:44.480 to go after

00:27:46.380 election integrity

00:27:47.700 and abortion

00:27:49.180 are the right to

00:27:51.320 choose, I guess he

00:27:51.940 would call it.

00:27:52.680 So he wants to

00:27:53.340 support those

00:27:53.860 things.

00:27:54.180 And he'll

00:27:55.460 support liberal

00:27:56.400 politicians still,

00:27:57.800 he says.

00:27:58.480 But he didn't

00:27:59.080 say anything about

00:27:59.840 prosecutors.

00:28:02.320 Is a prosecutor

00:28:03.520 a politician?

00:28:07.740 Technically,

00:28:08.760 right?

00:28:09.780 I mean, they're

00:28:10.420 elected.

00:28:11.300 If they're

00:28:11.680 elected, they're

00:28:12.180 a politician.

00:28:12.960 You don't really

00:28:13.440 think of them that

00:28:14.420 way, do you?

00:28:15.620 So I feel like he

00:28:18.860 keeps getting a

00:28:19.620 pass by the

00:28:20.480 media, not

00:28:22.180 asked about

00:28:22.920 the DAs.

00:28:26.560 Because that's

00:28:26.960 the big thing,

00:28:28.140 the prosecutors.

00:28:29.700 So here's a big

00:28:30.980 old news story

00:28:31.740 about him that

00:28:32.420 doesn't mention

00:28:33.020 prosecutors.

00:28:34.880 Big old news

00:28:35.760 story, does

00:28:36.620 mention that.

00:28:37.980 Seems like that

00:28:38.580 would be the

00:28:38.960 biggest thing to

00:28:39.540 mention.

00:28:41.420 All right.

00:28:44.320 I'm going to

00:28:44.900 start a Spaces.

00:28:47.760 So if you want

00:28:48.660 to hear it, you

00:28:49.420 can listen to

00:28:50.060 just the audio

00:28:50.720 on Spaces.

00:28:51.540 I'll start it in

00:28:52.140 a moment.

00:28:52.920 But you can

00:28:53.800 watch it right

00:28:54.380 where you are.

00:28:55.640 So here's what

00:28:56.860 the Spaces will

00:28:57.580 be.

00:28:58.840 The title of it

00:28:59.860 is Free Will

00:29:00.680 and Illusion

00:29:01.300 and Is Music

00:29:02.980 a Dangerous

00:29:03.760 Drug?

00:29:04.800 Talking about

00:29:05.460 hip-hop in

00:29:06.120 particular, but

00:29:07.180 music in general.

00:29:08.720 So I'm going to

00:29:09.320 start it now.

00:29:18.940 All right.

00:29:19.600 All right, ladies

00:29:22.260 and gentlemen,

00:29:23.160 welcome to

00:29:23.900 Spaces.

00:29:24.780 I'm doing this

00:29:25.540 also on YouTube

00:29:27.220 and also on the

00:29:29.100 Locals platform.

00:29:31.400 And the topic is,

00:29:32.640 is free will an

00:29:33.320 illusion?

00:29:34.560 And is music a

00:29:35.920 dangerous drug?

00:29:36.940 They're sort of

00:29:37.420 related topics, but

00:29:38.400 you could take

00:29:38.940 either one.

00:29:40.140 Now, I warn you

00:29:41.140 in advance that

00:29:42.460 whenever I talk

00:29:43.080 about free will

00:29:43.940 being an illusion,

00:29:44.620 what normally

00:29:46.280 happens is when

00:29:47.240 people argue

00:29:48.120 that it exists,

00:29:49.600 they argue with

00:29:51.100 what I call

00:29:51.640 word thinking.

00:29:53.500 Now, word thinking

00:29:54.320 is where there's

00:29:55.240 no logic there,

00:29:56.400 but it's like

00:29:56.980 the new AI.

00:29:59.540 It's just looking

00:30:00.340 for word patterns,

00:30:01.760 and it confuses

00:30:02.900 that as thinking.

00:30:04.480 So, for example,

00:30:05.320 if I say

00:30:06.040 free will doesn't

00:30:07.980 exist, the most

00:30:09.260 common response

00:30:10.160 I'll get is,

00:30:11.720 well, I can

00:30:12.260 choose things.

00:30:13.800 So it does.

00:30:14.340 I choose.

00:30:15.900 But that's not

00:30:16.440 an argument.

00:30:17.100 That's just putting

00:30:18.020 a different word

00:30:18.680 in there.

00:30:20.180 Right?

00:30:20.640 So what you're

00:30:21.540 going to watch

00:30:21.900 for is when I

00:30:23.100 bring some people

00:30:24.060 up to argue that

00:30:24.920 of course free

00:30:25.560 will does exist.

00:30:26.900 And by the way,

00:30:27.860 I only want to

00:30:28.540 talk to people

00:30:29.680 who say that

00:30:30.500 free will does

00:30:32.060 exist.

00:30:33.460 If you agree

00:30:34.380 with me that

00:30:34.960 it doesn't exist,

00:30:36.520 I'm going to

00:30:37.220 cut you off

00:30:37.920 because I don't

00:30:39.660 want to hear

00:30:40.000 from you.

00:30:41.000 If you agree

00:30:41.660 with me,

00:30:42.040 there's no fun.

00:30:42.900 We'll just be

00:30:43.420 like, okay,

00:30:44.140 we agree.

00:30:45.000 I got it.

00:30:45.600 Got it.

00:30:45.980 All right.

00:30:46.420 So only

00:30:47.040 disagreeers.

00:30:48.080 And I'm not

00:30:48.780 going to be rude

00:30:49.420 when I cut you

00:30:50.140 off, but I'm

00:30:50.560 just going to

00:30:50.920 turn off your

00:30:51.400 microphone if

00:30:52.020 you start

00:30:52.340 agreeing with

00:30:52.840 me, okay?

00:30:54.140 Got the

00:30:54.560 rules?

00:30:55.000 If you agree

00:30:55.660 with me, I'm

00:30:56.320 just going to

00:30:56.660 turn off your

00:30:57.140 microphone and

00:30:58.240 drop you.

00:30:59.420 All right?

00:31:00.180 Everybody up for

00:31:00.800 that?

00:31:01.760 All right.

00:31:02.420 Let's see who

00:31:03.020 looks like they're

00:31:03.800 full of spit and

00:31:06.560 vinegar.

00:31:08.080 Is that a thing?

00:31:09.580 All right.

00:31:09.980 How about

00:31:10.280 Jacqueline?

00:31:10.700 Jacqueline, I'm

00:31:12.380 going to add

00:31:12.740 you as a

00:31:13.200 speaker, so

00:31:13.760 get ready to

00:31:14.900 unmute yourself.

00:31:17.780 All right.

00:31:18.140 Jacqueline, unmute.

00:31:19.660 Do you have a

00:31:20.380 comment on either

00:31:21.520 of those things?

00:31:23.140 Yes.

00:31:23.820 Hi, Scott.

00:31:24.540 Hi.

00:31:24.800 I think my

00:31:26.540 position comes

00:31:27.820 from the

00:31:28.960 perception that

00:31:30.020 each of us is

00:31:31.620 made up of

00:31:32.580 three things.

00:31:35.800 One being the

00:31:37.440 body.

00:31:38.440 And of course,

00:31:39.240 if we cut off

00:31:40.300 part of the

00:31:40.880 body, such as

00:31:41.680 our hand, we

00:31:43.160 still exist.

00:31:44.360 So we are not

00:31:45.500 our body.

00:31:47.120 Right.

00:31:47.700 Okay.

00:31:48.300 And then I can

00:31:50.620 perceive that my

00:31:52.320 mind is thinking

00:31:54.080 and it often

00:31:55.240 goes on, you

00:31:58.500 know, and I'll

00:31:59.680 call that

00:32:01.600 thinking mind

00:32:02.540 my ego.

00:32:03.800 So because I

00:32:05.180 do your mind

00:32:06.600 and your ego

00:32:08.700 depend on your

00:32:09.520 body or are

00:32:10.320 they separate?

00:32:11.460 Do they exist

00:32:12.040 on you?

00:32:12.760 Separate.

00:32:13.880 So they just

00:32:14.720 float out there,

00:32:15.440 your mind, and

00:32:16.140 your, so your

00:32:17.580 mind is sort of

00:32:18.420 separate from

00:32:19.460 your body?

00:32:19.880 My mind is

00:32:22.600 separate from

00:32:23.140 my body and

00:32:24.380 because I can

00:32:25.600 perceive my

00:32:26.500 mind, that

00:32:27.660 implies a

00:32:28.420 duality.

00:32:30.140 I am something

00:32:31.660 that perceives my

00:32:33.280 mind thinking

00:32:34.160 and I can also

00:32:35.660 perceive my

00:32:36.560 body.

00:32:37.520 So we're three

00:32:38.160 things.

00:32:39.160 I am a

00:32:40.440 being that's

00:32:41.280 hard to

00:32:41.680 describe.

00:32:43.080 I do have an

00:32:44.040 ego or a

00:32:44.920 mind and that

00:32:46.200 my mind thinks

00:32:47.400 I have free

00:32:48.240 will.

00:32:48.700 So my mind

00:32:50.100 will act as

00:32:52.160 it's been

00:32:52.720 programmed by

00:32:53.820 past experiences

00:32:55.200 and, you

00:32:57.700 know, direct

00:32:58.260 my body so

00:32:59.560 it thinks it

00:33:00.320 has free

00:33:01.060 will.

00:33:02.180 Does your

00:33:03.120 mind survive

00:33:04.980 your body's

00:33:06.080 death?

00:33:06.520 Does your mind

00:33:07.080 go on after

00:33:07.720 your body is

00:33:08.280 gone?

00:33:08.460 No.

00:33:09.580 No.

00:33:10.340 What I am in

00:33:11.260 essence is my

00:33:12.360 being, that

00:33:14.100 spark of life

00:33:15.260 that's hard to

00:33:16.260 describe.

00:33:16.780 And if we

00:33:18.140 can stop

00:33:18.880 thinking for

00:33:19.980 moments, if

00:33:21.240 we can be

00:33:21.920 aware and

00:33:23.100 in our

00:33:23.660 present moment,

00:33:25.840 we can

00:33:26.520 perceive that

00:33:27.640 I am that

00:33:29.120 being that's

00:33:30.560 not being,

00:33:31.420 you know,

00:33:33.260 driven by the

00:33:34.420 ego mind

00:33:35.400 that has,

00:33:36.600 thinks it has,

00:33:37.520 free will.

00:33:38.240 Wouldn't you

00:33:39.120 say that the

00:33:39.660 only thing you

00:33:40.220 can perceive is

00:33:41.080 that you exist?

00:33:41.980 Everything else,

00:33:42.920 you don't know

00:33:43.520 if it's true or

00:33:44.100 not.

00:33:44.320 That's

00:33:46.820 correct.

00:33:47.620 Thank you.

00:33:49.120 I've won

00:33:49.520 another one.

00:33:50.500 All right.

00:33:50.780 Thank you,

00:33:51.120 Jacqueline.

00:33:52.580 You're welcome,

00:33:53.200 Scott.

00:33:53.480 Nice talking

00:33:53.940 with you.

00:33:54.280 All right.

00:33:55.520 Bye-bye.

00:33:58.760 All right.

00:34:00.700 Who else

00:34:01.520 will we take?

00:34:02.440 Let's see.

00:34:03.220 I think Paul

00:34:04.640 looks like he's

00:34:05.360 got something to

00:34:05.980 say.

00:34:07.240 Paul, if you

00:34:08.680 will, we get

00:34:11.300 people connected.

00:34:12.040 Paul, yes,

00:34:14.920 what would you

00:34:15.300 like to say on

00:34:15.900 this topic?

00:34:17.040 Well, when I

00:34:18.980 started music

00:34:19.820 college, I was

00:34:21.460 really a big

00:34:22.080 heavy metal fan.

00:34:23.580 But since I was

00:34:24.580 studying jazz a lot,

00:34:25.860 I forced myself

00:34:26.700 to listen to it.

00:34:28.340 And now, 20

00:34:29.460 years later, I

00:34:30.260 got to say I'm a

00:34:30.940 very big jazz fan.

00:34:32.860 Also, in your

00:34:33.780 book, How to

00:34:34.700 Fail at Everything

00:34:35.760 and Still Win

00:34:36.420 Big, you talk

00:34:37.860 about how you

00:34:38.480 managed to

00:34:39.100 program yourself

00:34:40.280 not to like

00:34:40.960 snicker bars

00:34:42.020 anymore.

00:34:43.060 So isn't that a

00:34:44.040 form of free

00:34:44.660 will?

00:34:46.220 No, that's just

00:34:47.040 what happened.

00:34:49.660 What do you

00:34:50.260 mean?

00:34:51.180 Well, let me

00:34:52.640 give the example.

00:34:54.200 If I were to

00:34:55.840 hold an object

00:34:57.020 above the ground

00:34:57.780 and let go of

00:34:58.500 it, does the

00:34:59.820 object have a

00:35:00.680 choice of going

00:35:01.720 up or does

00:35:03.220 gravity just

00:35:03.900 always take it

00:35:04.480 down?

00:35:05.800 No, it takes

00:35:06.480 it down.

00:35:07.000 And would

00:35:08.780 you think that

00:35:09.460 the rules of

00:35:10.400 physics stop

00:35:11.840 once they're

00:35:12.680 inside your

00:35:13.240 skull?

00:35:14.040 Or is the

00:35:14.920 brain, just

00:35:15.720 like everything

00:35:16.280 else, it can

00:35:17.620 only do one

00:35:18.760 thing in one

00:35:19.600 situation?

00:35:22.060 Oh.

00:35:22.740 So what you're

00:35:23.500 saying is that

00:35:24.560 we can force

00:35:26.540 kind of, we

00:35:28.540 can will

00:35:28.960 ourselves to do

00:35:29.840 certain things,

00:35:30.660 but we've got

00:35:31.080 to use science.

00:35:33.180 No, no, what

00:35:35.100 do you say we

00:35:35.600 can will

00:35:36.080 ourselves?

00:35:36.820 You're

00:35:37.120 substituting

00:35:37.920 words for

00:35:39.500 logic.

00:35:41.220 You stopped

00:35:43.000 eating Snickers.

00:35:44.360 I started

00:35:44.960 listening to

00:35:45.640 jazz because

00:35:46.780 we made a

00:35:47.660 conscious effort

00:35:49.580 to do these

00:35:50.280 things.

00:35:50.800 Yeah, and

00:35:51.160 watch, I'm

00:35:52.120 holding up a

00:35:53.160 little ball of

00:35:54.840 wadded up

00:35:55.700 napkins.

00:35:56.820 Now I'm going

00:35:57.220 to let the

00:35:57.660 napkins decide

00:35:58.660 when I let

00:35:59.320 them go if

00:35:59.900 they're going

00:36:00.200 to go up or

00:36:00.700 down.

00:36:01.280 Okay, napkins,

00:36:02.060 decide, make a

00:36:02.760 decision.

00:36:03.620 Oh, it

00:36:03.960 always went

00:36:04.340 the same

00:36:04.640 way.

00:36:05.660 You and I

00:36:06.320 would have

00:36:06.640 always done

00:36:07.220 the same

00:36:07.600 thing.

00:36:08.200 We did

00:36:08.680 things, that's

00:36:09.580 the part we

00:36:10.040 can be sure

00:36:10.620 of.

00:36:11.300 I did a

00:36:11.860 thing and

00:36:12.180 you did a

00:36:12.600 thing.

00:36:13.640 The reason

00:36:14.200 we did the

00:36:14.680 things is

00:36:15.160 because the

00:36:15.680 situation that

00:36:16.560 happened in

00:36:17.020 our brains

00:36:17.620 was exactly

00:36:19.160 the way it

00:36:19.640 was.

00:36:20.680 If I had

00:36:21.160 had a

00:36:21.500 different brain,

00:36:22.980 I would have

00:36:23.420 made a

00:36:23.700 different decision.

00:36:24.840 So it has

00:36:25.280 nothing to do

00:36:25.940 with my

00:36:27.960 sensation of

00:36:29.960 decision-making

00:36:30.700 because that's

00:36:31.980 just an

00:36:32.340 illusion.

00:36:32.580 I have a

00:36:33.460 sensation of

00:36:34.300 decision-making.

00:36:35.780 So likewise,

00:36:36.500 where I held

00:36:37.120 up the

00:36:37.500 balled-up

00:36:38.080 napkins and

00:36:38.820 dropped them

00:36:39.300 from my

00:36:39.640 hand, if

00:36:40.880 the napkins

00:36:41.840 had consciousness,

00:36:43.800 they would have

00:36:44.600 thought, oh, I

00:36:45.640 choose to go

00:36:46.240 down this time.

00:36:47.620 And then the

00:36:48.000 one time it

00:36:48.560 didn't, you

00:36:49.320 know, they

00:36:49.760 said, I choose

00:36:50.640 to go up, but

00:36:51.320 they don't.

00:36:52.560 They would say,

00:36:53.020 oh, something

00:36:53.540 must be broken.

00:36:54.460 There's something

00:36:54.760 wrong with the

00:36:55.360 system, or maybe

00:36:56.080 I didn't really

00:36:56.580 want it.

00:36:57.000 In other

00:36:57.980 words, they

00:36:58.300 would rationalize

00:36:59.660 why it didn't

00:37:00.900 happen, that

00:37:01.400 they didn't go

00:37:01.980 up.

00:37:02.840 So consciousness

00:37:03.520 is a

00:37:04.220 rationalizer.

00:37:05.800 It's not

00:37:06.200 something that's

00:37:06.800 giving you

00:37:07.160 truth.

00:37:07.840 It didn't

00:37:08.660 evolve to tell

00:37:10.060 you what's

00:37:10.380 real.

00:37:11.280 It evolved to

00:37:12.180 keep you from

00:37:12.760 being crazy and

00:37:14.560 allowed you to

00:37:15.820 reproduce, which

00:37:16.560 is the only thing

00:37:17.120 evolution cared

00:37:17.800 about.

00:37:19.640 Yes?

00:37:20.040 You know, it's

00:37:22.140 just that what

00:37:23.820 you're saying

00:37:24.200 doesn't make

00:37:24.640 sense.

00:37:25.080 It's just like

00:37:25.480 if we follow

00:37:27.780 your logic,

00:37:28.720 doesn't that

00:37:29.160 mean that certain

00:37:30.240 people are just

00:37:31.060 meant to be

00:37:31.760 drug addicts and

00:37:33.100 certain people are

00:37:33.920 just meant to be

00:37:34.820 morbidly obese?

00:37:36.360 Yes.

00:37:36.760 And there's

00:37:37.120 nothing they can

00:37:37.900 do about it to

00:37:38.820 change it?

00:37:41.000 That's correct.

00:37:42.280 But they do

00:37:42.780 live in a world

00:37:43.480 in which the

00:37:44.340 variables influencing

00:37:45.500 them are also

00:37:46.400 changing all the

00:37:47.160 time.

00:37:48.080 So one of the

00:37:48.680 variables that

00:37:49.440 influences

00:37:49.920 people is me.

00:37:51.680 So I've got a

00:37:52.580 lot of viewers

00:37:53.120 who used to

00:37:53.820 enjoy drinking

00:37:54.820 more than they

00:37:55.440 drink now.

00:37:56.720 And when I

00:37:57.220 said alcohol is

00:37:58.140 poison, it

00:37:59.360 programmed a

00:38:00.140 number of them,

00:38:00.600 they tell me,

00:38:01.260 anyway, that they

00:38:02.260 almost immediately

00:38:02.920 stopped drinking.

00:38:04.060 And they're happy

00:38:05.000 that they did.

00:38:06.140 Now, those are

00:38:07.040 people who went

00:38:07.860 from drinkers to

00:38:08.860 non-drinkers without

00:38:10.500 any free will

00:38:11.300 whatsoever.

00:38:12.160 There was just an

00:38:12.760 outside force that

00:38:14.500 was good news for

00:38:15.540 them.

00:38:17.120 All right.

00:38:17.900 Thanks a lot,

00:38:18.820 Scott.

00:38:19.100 All right.

00:38:19.820 Thanks, Paul.

00:38:20.840 Take care.

00:38:21.300 Bye.

00:38:24.340 All right.

00:38:27.720 All right.

00:38:28.240 Let's see.

00:38:28.800 Who else looks

00:38:29.400 like they would?

00:38:31.120 Oh, you know,

00:38:33.240 I'm so influenced

00:38:34.460 by the names that

00:38:35.560 people choose on

00:38:36.700 Twitter.

00:38:36.980 and I have to

00:38:38.720 pick Lord Pepsi.

00:38:41.420 So, Lord Pepsi,

00:38:42.820 with that name,

00:38:44.720 you are added.

00:38:46.980 Lord Pepsi,

00:38:48.400 as soon as you

00:38:49.740 unmute your

00:38:50.480 microphone,

00:38:52.000 we'll be hearing

00:38:52.680 your question.

00:38:54.300 Lord Pepsi,

00:38:55.180 speak to us.

00:38:57.940 Lord, are you

00:38:58.800 not ready?

00:38:59.280 Now, this is why

00:39:01.680 I used to drink

00:39:02.780 Diet Coke.

00:39:04.320 It was Lord.

00:39:04.900 Oh, Lord Pepsi.

00:39:05.680 Hey, yes.

00:39:07.420 What would you

00:39:07.940 like to say?

00:39:08.780 I'm good.

00:39:09.340 What would you

00:39:09.660 like to say?

00:39:11.160 Okay, you spoke

00:39:11.940 on these drug

00:39:13.040 centers that

00:39:13.900 where people

00:39:14.400 could be like

00:39:14.880 as a commune.

00:39:15.740 I was at one

00:39:16.320 of those in

00:39:16.780 Mexico.

00:39:17.740 I can talk to

00:39:18.540 you a bit about

00:39:19.200 it.

00:39:20.140 Oh, did it work?

00:39:20.920 Yes, I've been

00:39:22.920 cleaning for 20

00:39:23.820 years.

00:39:24.460 I came to the

00:39:25.220 realization that

00:39:26.900 my life could

00:39:28.220 drastically change.

00:39:29.180 I could basically

00:39:29.680 become a homeless

00:39:30.560 or fix it and

00:39:33.280 change it.

00:39:33.740 It was like one

00:39:34.300 of those hardcore

00:39:34.860 decisions, like

00:39:35.840 almost like an

00:39:36.640 epiphany where

00:39:37.400 I could become

00:39:38.720 this person asking

00:39:39.420 for change at

00:39:40.340 the coming off

00:39:41.160 the freeway

00:39:41.680 side of the

00:39:42.640 road or I

00:39:44.320 could just go

00:39:45.380 clean.

00:39:45.920 How do I go

00:39:46.540 clean?

00:39:47.520 And basically,

00:39:48.180 yes, we're just

00:39:48.860 all working

00:39:49.400 with each

00:39:49.780 other, building

00:39:51.580 the place, and

00:39:53.220 our resources

00:39:54.120 came from

00:39:55.040 basically outreach.

00:39:56.780 Hey, we're

00:39:57.200 going to go

00:39:58.440 out and ask

00:40:00.240 for support,

00:40:01.560 very basically.

00:40:02.820 I mean, there's

00:40:03.680 details involved,

00:40:05.300 and we'd get

00:40:06.480 building materials

00:40:07.220 and build up a

00:40:08.780 kitchen and

00:40:09.840 build up a

00:40:10.340 dormitory and

00:40:11.420 the office, and

00:40:12.640 over the years,

00:40:13.760 it developed into

00:40:14.500 what it is now

00:40:15.220 as any commune

00:40:16.720 would function,

00:40:17.860 and we'd have

00:40:18.520 AA meetings

00:40:19.220 there, morning,

00:40:21.520 midday, and

00:40:22.200 then night.

00:40:24.700 Rice and

00:40:25.360 beans and

00:40:26.540 some kind of

00:40:27.180 a soup was

00:40:28.800 like our main

00:40:29.520 meal, nothing

00:40:30.940 fancy.

00:40:31.500 So it was

00:40:31.740 like hardcore

00:40:32.780 farm-style

00:40:33.660 living with a

00:40:35.400 bunch of

00:40:35.700 druggies, living

00:40:36.680 with each other,

00:40:38.080 and we're kind

00:40:39.600 of sort of

00:40:40.060 voluntarily there

00:40:41.020 because we

00:40:41.920 knew we had

00:40:43.060 messed up lives.

00:40:44.520 Can you hear

00:40:44.900 me?

00:40:45.260 Well, yeah,

00:40:45.980 yeah, keep

00:40:46.380 going.

00:40:46.720 People are

00:40:47.060 fascinated.

00:40:47.540 Okay, so

00:40:50.940 yeah, I

00:40:52.900 listened a lot

00:40:53.520 more, so I'm

00:40:54.060 thinking, I'm

00:40:54.660 trying to speak

00:40:55.300 with my thinking

00:40:55.960 thoughts, like

00:40:56.720 try to convey

00:40:57.800 them well.

00:40:58.920 Okay, so

00:40:59.560 my parents

00:41:01.260 took me when

00:41:01.760 I was like

00:41:02.340 13.

00:41:03.200 I got into

00:41:03.820 drugs.

00:41:04.440 Like, I

00:41:05.160 lived in the

00:41:05.760 hood, I guess

00:41:06.340 you could say.

00:41:06.940 Like, I was

00:41:07.300 just exposed at

00:41:07.960 a young age to

00:41:08.700 drugs and

00:41:09.160 alcohol and

00:41:09.760 got too deep

00:41:10.740 into it too

00:41:11.200 quickly.

00:41:11.540 And I

00:41:12.520 feel fortunate

00:41:13.000 that because

00:41:13.780 of that, I

00:41:15.020 was still

00:41:15.340 at a young

00:41:17.280 enough age to

00:41:18.160 end it or

00:41:20.280 stop drugs

00:41:21.980 early enough in

00:41:22.800 my life to

00:41:23.420 not develop

00:41:25.140 my life around

00:41:26.660 drugs, so to

00:41:27.660 speak.

00:41:27.900 So tell us

00:41:29.700 more about the

00:41:30.480 facility, though.

00:41:31.900 So there was a

00:41:32.500 place you went to

00:41:33.140 Mexico with just

00:41:34.200 addicts and you

00:41:35.200 basically built a

00:41:36.240 commune and that

00:41:37.520 experience of just

00:41:38.760 not having any

00:41:39.440 drugs around and

00:41:40.420 having something

00:41:41.520 to do that you

00:41:42.340 all joined in on.

00:41:43.900 You think that

00:41:44.840 was enough to

00:41:45.640 keep you off

00:41:46.420 drugs?

00:41:47.800 Oh, definitely

00:41:48.360 because when

00:41:50.400 you live with

00:41:51.280 druggies, they

00:41:53.300 know what

00:41:54.400 they're about.

00:41:56.740 Like, they know

00:41:57.080 their lives are

00:41:57.660 messed up, for

00:41:58.720 lack of a

00:41:59.460 harsher word.

00:42:00.740 You know, I'm

00:42:01.020 being very kind

00:42:01.700 about that.

00:42:02.360 You know, like,

00:42:03.100 there's no BS.

00:42:04.500 Some of it's

00:42:05.540 mental illness

00:42:07.060 and regard as

00:42:08.100 like, when you're

00:42:09.860 living in such

00:42:10.360 a way, it's

00:42:11.640 like, you can't

00:42:15.720 lie to yourself

00:42:16.440 and say, am I

00:42:17.960 going to be

00:42:18.200 living a low

00:42:19.240 life?

00:42:20.040 You know, some

00:42:20.920 people, they

00:42:21.800 conform like they're

00:42:22.780 satisfied with that

00:42:23.780 and there's some

00:42:25.600 problem in their

00:42:27.420 mind saying, well,

00:42:28.240 wouldn't you like

00:42:28.840 a better life?

00:42:29.540 No, I'm homeless

00:42:30.460 because whatever.

00:42:32.440 Like, some people

00:42:33.640 make this, some

00:42:34.820 people decide to

00:42:35.640 get clean and

00:42:36.940 say, you know, I

00:42:37.520 do actually want a

00:42:38.300 better life, but

00:42:38.880 how do I do

00:42:39.620 this?

00:42:40.640 Now, what do

00:42:41.260 you think of

00:42:41.760 the suggestions

00:42:42.840 that Trump

00:42:44.380 made and also

00:42:46.480 RFK Jr.

00:42:47.300 made separately

00:42:47.940 about creating,

00:42:50.300 I guess, using

00:42:52.200 government land

00:42:53.000 and creating

00:42:53.540 basically a city

00:42:54.880 or a campground

00:42:55.960 or something where

00:42:56.740 the addicts can

00:42:57.700 go and just be

00:42:59.080 away from the

00:42:59.700 rest of the

00:43:00.140 people and try

00:43:00.900 to get healthy?

00:43:02.680 Oh, that'd be

00:43:03.580 fantastic.

00:43:04.220 I'll support that.

00:43:05.640 Great.

00:43:05.880 Let me give you

00:43:07.260 the name of

00:43:07.780 the place.

00:43:09.260 I'll spell it

00:43:10.220 out for you

00:43:10.880 because it's

00:43:11.500 an acronym.

00:43:12.240 Okay.

00:43:13.000 C-R-R-E-A-D.

00:43:17.380 C-R-R-E-A-D?

00:43:20.580 Yes.

00:43:21.200 Okay.

00:43:21.440 And it's

00:43:21.860 Sensor Recovery

00:43:23.440 Rehabilitation

00:43:24.460 for Infetimals,

00:43:26.620 which is sick,

00:43:28.120 people that are

00:43:28.640 sick,

00:43:28.940 infetimals,

00:43:29.920 from alcoholism

00:43:33.460 and drug addiction.

00:43:35.180 All right.

00:43:35.880 Great.

00:43:36.400 Hey, Lord Pepsi,

00:43:38.300 thanks for the

00:43:38.780 call and big

00:43:39.780 congratulations from

00:43:41.240 the entire audience

00:43:42.580 and for me

00:43:43.340 for your success.

00:43:44.880 When people get

00:43:45.440 off drugs and

00:43:46.100 they stay off

00:43:46.540 drugs for 20

00:43:47.200 years, I swear

00:43:48.340 there's nothing

00:43:49.020 that impresses me

00:43:49.900 more.

00:43:50.980 That's like the

00:43:51.700 ultimate personal

00:43:53.740 accomplishment.

00:43:54.580 So good job for

00:43:55.260 you and thanks

00:43:56.240 for calling.

00:43:58.740 Oh, thanks.

00:43:59.300 Yeah, reach out

00:43:59.880 to me if you want

00:44:00.520 any details.

00:44:01.340 All right.

00:44:01.700 All right.

00:44:03.360 Great.

00:44:03.640 Thank you.

00:44:04.120 Thank you.

00:44:06.140 Well, that was

00:44:06.580 interesting.

00:44:07.500 Didn't expect that.

00:44:08.920 All right.

00:44:09.160 Let's see.

00:44:11.800 What is it?

00:44:13.240 I'll fight you

00:44:13.880 naked, you

00:44:14.680 racist.

00:44:15.600 That's the name

00:44:16.200 of the account.

00:44:17.660 All right.

00:44:20.620 I'll fight you

00:44:21.540 naked.

00:44:23.220 As soon as you

00:44:24.080 unmute your

00:44:24.760 microphone, you

00:44:25.500 can ask your

00:44:26.020 question.

00:44:27.660 Come on.

00:44:29.220 I hear you.

00:44:29.780 I'd like to say

00:44:30.380 that.

00:44:30.680 I think that

00:44:32.160 music is in

00:44:33.860 fact a dangerous

00:44:34.720 drug.

00:44:36.200 Speak up, please.

00:44:37.260 Music is a

00:44:37.880 dangerous drug.

00:44:38.560 You agree?

00:44:40.540 Yes, I agree.

00:44:42.520 All right.

00:44:43.360 Because I think

00:44:45.520 Peterson is one

00:44:46.360 who told us,

00:44:47.940 he believes it

00:44:49.840 speaks to a part

00:44:50.600 of the human

00:44:51.240 being that it's

00:44:52.360 capable of.

00:44:54.300 Yeah, we're

00:44:55.020 having a little

00:44:55.700 audio problem,

00:44:56.460 so I'm going to

00:44:57.460 have to drop you

00:44:59.780 off because of

00:45:00.280 audio.

00:45:01.740 But I think I

00:45:02.820 got the point.

00:45:03.760 Jordan Peterson

00:45:04.600 also said that

00:45:05.540 music touches

00:45:07.120 sort of a

00:45:08.040 non-rational part

00:45:09.400 of the brain,

00:45:10.320 which it does.

00:45:12.240 All right.

00:45:12.940 Let's see.

00:45:13.580 news for what?

00:45:19.540 News for friends.

00:45:20.860 Let's try you.

00:45:23.460 News for friends.

00:45:26.400 Unmute your

00:45:27.060 speaker, your

00:45:27.980 microphone, and

00:45:28.740 ask your question,

00:45:30.360 please.

00:45:35.040 Oh, I see I'm a

00:45:36.320 speaker, so you

00:45:37.100 must be talking to

00:45:38.240 me.

00:45:38.700 I am.

00:45:39.480 Thank you,

00:45:39.760 thank you for

00:45:41.240 letting me speak.

00:45:42.560 My main thing is

00:45:43.720 to thank you for

00:45:44.780 everything you've

00:45:45.900 had the nerve to

00:45:47.040 come out and

00:45:48.040 say.

00:45:49.160 Too many people

00:45:50.240 are afraid to

00:45:51.460 say the

00:45:52.080 uncomfortable

00:45:52.780 things, and I

00:45:55.260 think it's very

00:45:56.440 important to be

00:45:57.480 able to do so.

00:45:58.620 That in itself is

00:45:59.860 a lesson that

00:46:01.240 more people need

00:46:02.280 to follow, more

00:46:03.740 people need to

00:46:04.660 emulate that

00:46:05.520 behavior.

00:46:06.220 Well, thank

00:46:06.900 you.

00:46:07.540 Did you have a

00:46:10.260 question or

00:46:11.380 comment on the

00:46:12.080 topic, free

00:46:12.860 will and

00:46:13.220 illusion?

00:46:13.500 Yeah.

00:46:13.960 As far as the

00:46:15.000 music, I do

00:46:17.960 believe it can

00:46:18.900 be a dangerous

00:46:19.680 thing because

00:46:20.560 most people are

00:46:22.140 listening to

00:46:23.660 music that's

00:46:24.880 not tuned

00:46:26.060 properly.

00:46:28.440 The way you

00:46:29.540 listen to it

00:46:30.280 makes a big

00:46:31.000 difference, and

00:46:31.800 I saw it with

00:46:33.060 friends of my

00:46:36.200 kids when

00:46:37.200 they were

00:46:37.540 growing up, and

00:46:40.160 especially during

00:46:41.560 that rap era, and

00:46:43.520 watching the

00:46:44.320 behavior of the

00:46:45.620 young teenagers

00:46:47.080 while listening to

00:46:48.840 this music, it

00:46:50.060 was very

00:46:50.520 distracting.

00:46:51.780 It had them

00:46:52.320 focus on the

00:46:53.320 wrong things, and

00:46:56.200 I made a point

00:46:58.660 in my home to

00:47:00.380 pipe in music.

00:47:01.400 music, I was

00:47:01.840 fortunate to

00:47:02.660 have a nice

00:47:03.660 speaker system

00:47:04.640 that went

00:47:05.540 throughout the

00:47:06.380 home, and I

00:47:07.740 calmed them down

00:47:08.840 at night with

00:47:09.680 very nice music,

00:47:11.660 and got a lot of

00:47:12.980 harp and violin.

00:47:14.600 Anyway.

00:47:16.360 All right, well, it

00:47:17.260 sounds like you're

00:47:18.120 agreeing with me.

00:47:18.860 When I started this, I

00:47:19.980 said I wouldn't let

00:47:21.060 anybody on who

00:47:21.660 agreed with me.

00:47:22.840 You may have

00:47:23.620 missed that because I

00:47:24.280 said that at the

00:47:25.080 front.

00:47:25.580 So I'm going to

00:47:26.180 look for somebody

00:47:26.720 who disagrees with me,

00:47:27.780 but thanks for

00:47:28.400 calling.

00:47:29.340 Okay.

00:47:30.020 All right.

00:47:31.020 Bye-bye.

00:47:34.660 Yeah, I

00:47:35.240 announced at the

00:47:35.860 beginning, I only

00:47:37.000 wanted to be

00:47:37.660 disagreeers because

00:47:38.660 it's just more fun.

00:47:40.100 So let's see if I

00:47:41.000 can find a

00:47:41.500 disagreeer.

00:47:42.600 All right, I'm

00:47:42.980 going to go with

00:47:43.520 somebody named

00:47:44.040 Chris Ratt.

00:47:48.240 I don't know if

00:47:49.000 that's his real

00:47:49.660 last name or he

00:47:50.800 just likes calling

00:47:51.440 himself a rat.

00:47:53.760 Chris Ratt, are

00:47:55.720 you there?

00:47:57.760 Yes, I'm here.

00:47:58.640 And that's my

00:47:59.400 actual name because

00:48:00.160 I'm a foreigner.

00:48:02.000 It's your actual

00:48:02.760 name.

00:48:03.120 All right.

00:48:03.940 I'm sure you don't

00:48:04.820 get any trouble with

00:48:07.160 that last name at

00:48:07.960 all.

00:48:08.640 Dad, do you have

00:48:09.220 a comment on the

00:48:12.840 topic?

00:48:14.700 Yeah, but I can't

00:48:15.780 disagree much.

00:48:17.660 I would just say

00:48:18.520 that when I was

00:48:19.140 young and I was

00:48:19.920 dressed in black

00:48:20.600 and I'd be super

00:48:21.560 edgy, I'd listen to

00:48:22.680 sad music and I

00:48:24.800 think it just made

00:48:25.480 me even more sad and

00:48:26.840 probably not very

00:48:27.540 fun to be around.

00:48:28.640 Yeah, I don't see

00:48:30.480 how that could not

00:48:31.300 be the case.

00:48:32.120 If you're sad and

00:48:33.320 you listen to sad

00:48:34.080 music, how's that

00:48:34.820 going to help you?

00:48:36.160 It doesn't make

00:48:36.980 sense.

00:48:37.640 Did you disagree with

00:48:39.080 me?

00:48:39.300 I'm only looking for

00:48:40.000 the disagreeors today.

00:48:42.340 No.

00:48:43.240 Sorry.

00:48:44.000 All right.

00:48:44.420 All right.

00:48:45.500 Thanks for joining

00:48:46.620 and...

00:48:47.680 Thank you.

00:48:48.320 All right.

00:48:48.760 Bye-bye.

00:48:52.740 All right.

00:48:54.280 Chris will remove

00:48:55.360 you.

00:48:56.460 Well, it's hard to get

00:48:57.420 anybody who disagrees.

00:48:59.640 So how about

00:49:00.520 Zara?

00:49:03.940 Zara, you look like

00:49:05.480 you've been to the

00:49:06.720 gym.

00:49:07.620 All right.

00:49:08.100 Zara.

00:49:09.500 Hey.

00:49:10.160 Hey, how's it going?

00:49:11.300 Do you disagree?

00:49:11.980 Hey, it's great.

00:49:12.880 I'm going to disagree

00:49:13.640 with you.

00:49:14.060 I'm going to disagree

00:49:14.520 with you a ton, but I

00:49:15.400 can't possibly do that

00:49:16.520 without doing the

00:49:17.220 Rush Limbaugh and

00:49:17.900 Ditto thing first.

00:49:18.960 So I want to thank you

00:49:20.500 for being awesome and

00:49:22.360 one of the greatest

00:49:22.920 people on the planet

00:49:23.880 and for paying whatever

00:49:24.760 price is necessary to

00:49:26.060 try to make the world a

00:49:26.860 better place.

00:49:27.480 I really appreciate all

00:49:28.460 the stuff that you do.

00:49:29.540 Well, thank you.

00:49:30.280 Let's get to the

00:49:31.020 disagreeing.

00:49:31.760 The audience is like,

00:49:32.620 disagree, damn it.

00:49:33.620 Disagree.

00:49:33.960 Let's do it.

00:49:34.420 Let's do it.

00:49:35.040 Okay.

00:49:35.400 There is such a thing

00:49:36.260 as free will and I

00:49:38.520 can't give you a

00:49:39.120 knockdown argument for

00:49:40.120 it because if I did,

00:49:40.980 you wouldn't be free

00:49:41.700 to believe in

00:49:42.360 determinism anymore.

00:49:43.540 And I think we're

00:49:44.800 free to do that.

00:49:45.820 So here's what I want

00:49:47.620 to suggest.

00:49:50.040 The scientific language

00:49:51.620 is really good for a

00:49:52.660 number of things, but

00:49:53.500 it has to objectify the

00:49:54.880 world in order to do

00:49:55.860 those things.

00:49:56.940 Fair.

00:49:58.180 Okay.

00:49:58.740 So that means it

00:50:01.040 can get you to the

00:50:01.960 moon and build an

00:50:02.560 iPad, which

00:50:03.320 mythopoetic thinking

00:50:04.420 and philosophical

00:50:05.220 thinking and

00:50:05.980 metaphysical thinking

00:50:06.900 will never be able

00:50:07.560 to do.

00:50:08.860 Good words.

00:50:09.500 The only way you can

00:50:11.120 do those sorts of

00:50:11.920 things is by first

00:50:13.580 banishing all

00:50:14.500 consideration of

00:50:15.360 things that are

00:50:15.820 subjective, which

00:50:16.560 means there's certain

00:50:17.320 questions that it

00:50:18.880 doesn't really, it's

00:50:20.080 not really appropriate

00:50:20.780 to use that language

00:50:22.040 to discuss those

00:50:23.340 questions.

00:50:23.920 For instance,

00:50:25.840 pinch your arm and

00:50:27.960 you feel a message

00:50:28.840 and the message

00:50:29.600 isn't, hey,

00:50:30.340 something negative

00:50:30.980 for your reproductive

00:50:31.820 ability is happening

00:50:32.840 at your left arm,

00:50:33.740 so pull it away.

00:50:35.700 The message is, hey,

00:50:37.360 you're in pain right

00:50:38.240 now and that pain

00:50:38.940 feels like something.

00:50:40.200 But science has

00:50:40.840 nothing to say about

00:50:41.640 why it feels like

00:50:42.560 something to feel

00:50:43.260 pain or why it's

00:50:44.840 like something to

00:50:45.680 see red.

00:50:46.880 All subjective

00:50:47.620 quality of life is

00:50:48.920 something that science

00:50:49.680 can't say anything

00:50:50.420 about.

00:50:51.620 It doesn't mean that

00:50:52.400 we don't have evidence

00:50:53.120 that it's real.

00:50:54.480 It's as real to each

00:50:55.480 one of us as anything

00:50:56.560 else could possibly be.

00:50:57.800 It's just that the

00:50:58.480 proper language for

00:50:59.400 discussing those sorts

00:51:00.340 of things are music

00:51:01.980 and poetry and

00:51:02.900 philosophy and just

00:51:04.080 different vocabularies.

00:51:06.940 So what happens is,

00:51:08.080 I'll be short and

00:51:08.920 wrap it up, but the

00:51:09.900 gist of the point is

00:51:10.880 what science does in

00:51:12.340 order to be powerful

00:51:13.400 is it banishes all

00:51:14.580 consideration of

00:51:15.520 subjective things.

00:51:17.060 And then sometimes

00:51:18.020 scientismists turn

00:51:19.260 around at the end of

00:51:20.140 that and they say,

00:51:20.660 oh my goodness,

00:51:21.840 I found nothing

00:51:22.580 subjective.

00:51:23.300 There's no such

00:51:23.980 thing as consciousness

00:51:24.820 or free will or

00:51:25.920 what it's like to be

00:51:27.380 something.

00:51:27.920 Wait a minute,

00:51:28.440 wait a minute,

00:51:28.760 did you define

00:51:30.380 consciousness and

00:51:31.420 free will as

00:51:32.200 subjective experiences?

00:51:35.080 So are you saying

00:51:36.000 that it's just

00:51:36.400 something that you

00:51:37.160 feel and the

00:51:38.760 feeling is real or

00:51:39.840 that it's real in the

00:51:41.280 real world?

00:51:42.620 What's real?

00:51:43.640 I'm saying subjective

00:51:45.880 in a non-pejorative

00:51:47.180 sense.

00:51:47.860 It's only pejorative

00:51:48.960 to the objectivist

00:51:50.960 scientific approach.

00:51:52.720 Well, no, I'm not

00:51:54.020 talking about anything

00:51:55.040 pejorative.

00:51:55.740 I'm just trying to

00:51:56.300 understand.

00:51:56.760 Yeah, no, I

00:51:58.400 understand.

00:51:58.940 So when I say

00:51:59.900 subjective, I mean

00:52:00.820 subjective things are

00:52:01.920 just as real as

00:52:03.380 objective things,

00:52:04.300 unless you're a

00:52:05.020 scientist, in which

00:52:05.880 case you're not

00:52:06.440 allowed to think

00:52:07.140 that.

00:52:07.320 No, it's subjective

00:52:08.460 to you, so it's

00:52:10.100 real to the one

00:52:11.060 person, but it's not

00:52:11.880 real to the other

00:52:12.900 people, right?

00:52:15.380 So, like, the

00:52:16.800 problem of other

00:52:17.500 minds is a

00:52:18.180 philosophical problem.

00:52:19.260 You're not going to

00:52:19.740 settle it scientifically,

00:52:21.060 right?

00:52:21.740 Is that what you're

00:52:22.500 getting at?

00:52:22.840 Well, certainly, if

00:52:25.100 your reality is a

00:52:26.400 subjective reality, and

00:52:28.240 your subjective reality

00:52:29.580 includes your subjective

00:52:31.480 feeling about free

00:52:32.760 will, then I would

00:52:34.900 think of that more

00:52:35.600 like a, that's more

00:52:38.780 like a fiction which

00:52:40.260 you created to live

00:52:41.660 in, which you might

00:52:44.240 enjoy, but it wouldn't

00:52:45.560 have anything to do

00:52:46.320 with free will.

00:52:47.180 It would be just you

00:52:48.080 deciding that you

00:52:49.700 wanted to ignore the

00:52:50.980 external world for the

00:52:53.580 subjective world.

00:52:54.460 I see why you think

00:52:57.500 that.

00:52:58.900 Here's an argument,

00:52:59.920 though.

00:53:00.580 I'm going to suggest

00:53:01.480 that the objectification

00:53:02.720 of the world is itself

00:53:04.260 a fiction that we've

00:53:05.160 known as a fiction for

00:53:06.340 millennia.

00:53:07.420 The idea that there's

00:53:08.460 little bits of hard

00:53:09.320 stuff out there that I

00:53:10.180 can make measurements on

00:53:11.320 and make predictions

00:53:12.080 about what they're going

00:53:13.360 to do next is something

00:53:15.600 that even our scientific

00:53:16.680 experiments are now

00:53:17.660 showing us is not a

00:53:19.320 sustainable way of

00:53:21.100 conceptualizing the world

00:53:22.300 around us.

00:53:24.000 There's other ways of

00:53:24.840 thinking about who we

00:53:25.760 are in relation to the

00:53:27.300 cosmos and culture and

00:53:28.560 nature and the divine

00:53:29.780 and all those other

00:53:30.460 things that don't use

00:53:32.020 the objectivist fiction

00:53:33.740 to start out, and they

00:53:35.620 have an ability to make

00:53:37.520 progress in areas that

00:53:39.020 science can't make

00:53:39.900 progress, even though

00:53:40.880 science can make a kind

00:53:41.960 of progress that they

00:53:42.820 could never dream of

00:53:43.600 making by adopting

00:53:45.260 this fiction.

00:53:45.980 You're doing better than

00:53:47.040 I was expecting.

00:53:47.980 All right, so let's see

00:53:48.640 if this is compatible with

00:53:49.840 your thinking.

00:53:50.340 This is different, but it

00:53:51.400 might be compatible.

00:53:52.680 If we are a simulation,

00:53:54.820 meaning that we're just

00:53:55.700 software and bits who

00:53:57.140 imagine that we're real

00:53:58.320 and imagine the

00:53:59.340 objective world, which I

00:54:01.240 do believe, by the way,

00:54:02.580 which is a version of

00:54:03.600 what you're saying, the

00:54:04.500 subjective world.

00:54:05.820 So I call it a

00:54:06.560 simulation, but calling

00:54:09.020 it a subjective world

00:54:10.460 isn't too far off.

00:54:12.100 I mean, they seem to

00:54:13.040 overlap a lot.

00:54:14.340 So if...

00:54:14.860 I'm glad you...

00:54:16.300 I've been wanting to

00:54:17.240 tell you that forever

00:54:17.940 because I've loved your

00:54:18.900 simulation thing as soon

00:54:20.060 as you brought it up

00:54:20.780 and I recognized it as,

00:54:22.260 well, similar to a lot

00:54:23.880 of other metaphysical

00:54:24.960 conceptions of the

00:54:26.200 universe, including the

00:54:27.140 Hindu and some other

00:54:27.980 perspectives.

00:54:28.720 So anyway, I'm going to

00:54:29.340 shut up and let you

00:54:30.100 finish, but...

00:54:30.880 Well, if we're a

00:54:32.280 simulation or indeed

00:54:34.120 some kind of subjective

00:54:36.080 world, then the rules

00:54:37.800 of physics are also an

00:54:40.300 illusion.

00:54:41.680 So when I say that as

00:54:43.520 long as you believe in

00:54:44.700 the rules of physics,

00:54:46.180 the rules of physics work

00:54:47.620 the same outside of your

00:54:48.820 skull as inside your

00:54:50.600 skull, just stuff's going

00:54:52.380 to happen the way it's

00:54:53.080 going to happen.

00:54:53.580 There's nothing you can

00:54:54.200 do about it.

00:54:55.040 But if our entire world,

00:54:57.340 this objective world of

00:54:58.680 skulls and things that

00:55:00.760 are inside and out and

00:55:01.820 even physics, if that's

00:55:04.200 all imaginary, then all

00:55:06.520 bets are off.

00:55:08.740 So...

00:55:08.860 So I'm not an

00:55:09.640 anti-realist.

00:55:10.480 I mean, I understand that

00:55:11.620 you can be an anti-realist

00:55:12.780 and looking at it that

00:55:13.580 way, but here's another

00:55:14.880 way of approaching it,

00:55:15.760 which is to say that the

00:55:16.780 objectivist fiction and

00:55:18.680 the subjectivist

00:55:19.780 descriptions like the

00:55:20.800 mythopoetic or some

00:55:22.260 a priori philosophical

00:55:23.440 approaches are like two

00:55:25.140 rails that the train

00:55:26.420 rests on, right?

00:55:27.860 So it doesn't have to

00:55:28.700 become an anti-realist

00:55:29.940 thing where you deny that

00:55:30.860 there's a world around

00:55:31.660 you just because it's

00:55:32.820 like something to be you

00:55:34.520 and that world is in

00:55:35.400 relationship with you and

00:55:36.540 you're in relationship

00:55:37.260 with it.

00:55:38.260 The fact that it's

00:55:39.120 subjective doesn't mean

00:55:40.140 it's just arbitrary or

00:55:41.520 chaos or all illusion.

00:55:43.020 So I think we're kind of

00:55:45.900 of one mind when we, I

00:55:47.140 think, when we say that

00:55:48.440 the same thing is true of

00:55:49.640 the scientific conceptions

00:55:51.060 of the universe, but

00:55:52.060 maybe it's an

00:55:53.840 attitudinal difference

00:55:54.860 where I feel like you

00:55:55.660 can embrace that and

00:55:56.540 just say that's what it's

00:55:57.480 like to be and it's

00:55:58.580 exciting and there's

00:56:00.040 truth in and meaning

00:56:01.540 in all of that.

00:56:02.820 Well, I think what you're

00:56:03.780 going for is there might

00:56:05.020 be more than one reality

00:56:06.620 or at least our little

00:56:09.260 brains might only be able

00:56:10.820 to see one, but there

00:56:11.800 could be others.

00:56:13.640 And under that framing,

00:56:16.220 I have no argument

00:56:17.060 because it imagines the

00:56:18.580 unimaginable.

00:56:20.200 So in an unimaginable

00:56:21.720 world, free will could

00:56:23.220 exist because I can't

00:56:24.780 imagine anything in that

00:56:25.680 world.

00:56:26.500 So actually, good job.

00:56:28.060 Good job, Zara.

00:56:28.740 I'm going to shut up

00:56:29.820 now, but I will just say

00:56:30.620 that that isn't what I

00:56:31.520 think I was trying to get

00:56:32.460 at, but that's okay.

00:56:33.460 This is awesome and keep

00:56:34.700 being awesome and I'll

00:56:35.560 talk to you later.

00:56:36.180 Oh, yes.

00:56:36.540 I didn't mean to that

00:56:38.240 that would characterize your

00:56:39.220 view.

00:56:39.540 That was more my summary of

00:56:40.740 myself, but thank you.

00:56:42.020 Gotcha.

00:56:43.020 All right.

00:56:45.400 Well, that was interesting.

00:56:46.440 That was more, that was a

00:56:48.280 little deeper than I thought

00:56:49.160 it would get.

00:56:51.160 All right.

00:56:51.780 Ladies and gentlemen, how

00:56:52.700 about one more?

00:56:53.760 One more?

00:56:55.880 Let's go with Matt.

00:56:57.080 Oh, I was talking to him on

00:56:58.320 Twitter, so this will be good.

00:56:59.400 Matt, you will be on as soon as

00:57:05.280 you unmute your microphone.

00:57:07.280 Hey, Matt.

00:57:10.380 I can't hear you, Matt.

00:57:11.740 Hey, Scott.

00:57:11.980 How are you?

00:57:12.400 There you are.

00:57:13.040 Thanks for having me on.

00:57:14.700 It's a pleasure to listen to you

00:57:15.800 live.

00:57:16.120 My work schedule usually makes

00:57:17.440 it so you're my workout

00:57:19.040 entertainment.

00:57:20.040 Oh.

00:57:20.200 But today, I get to say

00:57:21.180 something.

00:57:21.840 Good combo.

00:57:22.280 So I believe that people do

00:57:24.900 have free will, and I really

00:57:26.660 don't think it's that

00:57:27.520 complicated a concept, because

00:57:29.900 without free will, I think

00:57:31.300 humans would devolve into

00:57:32.880 complete chaos.

00:57:34.700 You have an internal sense

00:57:36.660 about you, about what's right

00:57:38.660 and wrong.

00:57:39.580 And to say there's no free

00:57:40.700 will would be simply to say

00:57:42.120 that a drug addict chooses to

00:57:45.040 be on drugs, which is, of

00:57:46.380 course, true once they're

00:57:47.320 addicted.

00:57:47.660 But the original decision had

00:57:49.840 consequences of taking drugs.

00:57:51.840 It's also to say that a

00:57:53.320 pedophile can't help

00:57:55.380 themselves, and therefore we

00:57:56.680 should excuse them.

00:57:58.020 So I think a fundamental

00:57:59.160 concept in human nature is

00:58:01.460 that we do have free will,

00:58:02.760 particularly free will, to

00:58:04.480 make subjective or moral

00:58:05.740 choices.

00:58:06.600 No, yeah.

00:58:07.320 Well, hold on.

00:58:08.420 But I think your argument is

00:58:10.440 we do.

00:58:11.660 Like, there's no argument

00:58:12.660 there.

00:58:13.060 You're just saying it exists.

00:58:15.800 What's the other?

00:58:16.980 I don't think it's an illusion.

00:58:19.280 I think it's an actual part of

00:58:20.960 human existence.

00:58:21.840 All right.

00:58:22.080 Explain.

00:58:23.160 All right.

00:58:23.540 So, Matt, do you think that

00:58:26.700 the rules of physics stop

00:58:28.580 inside your skull?

00:58:32.220 No, of course not.

00:58:33.160 So do you believe that if you

00:58:35.080 could magically know

00:58:36.860 everything about a brain's

00:58:38.720 condition, you know, we

00:58:39.700 can't, but if you could know

00:58:41.240 everything about its

00:58:42.380 situation, would you be able

00:58:44.380 to predict the next thing you

00:58:45.720 did with 100% accuracy?

00:58:48.560 Yeah, maybe, but that's an

00:58:49.960 unrealistic scenario because I

00:58:51.580 don't believe that we're ever

00:58:52.640 going to know that.

00:58:53.540 No, no, no, no.

00:58:54.320 It's not saying that we could

00:58:55.820 do it.

00:58:56.700 I'm asking you how much you

00:58:58.860 believe in the, let's say,

00:59:01.640 the reach of physics.

00:59:03.220 Does physics reach into your

00:59:04.980 brain chemistry down to the

00:59:07.320 electrical signals?

00:59:09.400 And therefore, with your

00:59:10.760 specific experience and your

00:59:13.380 specific, you know, how much

00:59:15.040 you ate that day and how your

00:59:17.080 brain is feeling in its exact

00:59:18.640 structure that day, wouldn't

00:59:20.640 you agree that the next

00:59:21.760 decision is guaranteed to be

00:59:23.840 only one thing?

00:59:26.460 No, I don't think so because

00:59:27.980 I think you live in an

00:59:29.080 environment and conditions

00:59:30.380 change.

00:59:30.940 Like one day you think

00:59:31.940 something is good, the next

00:59:33.440 day you don't.

00:59:34.120 No, hold on, hold on.

00:59:35.160 Matt, Matt, you're just

00:59:36.020 describing the physical

00:59:38.500 conditions changed.

00:59:39.660 So one day is different

00:59:41.140 from the other because your

00:59:41.920 brain is different the next

00:59:43.000 day.

00:59:43.320 So that's agreeing with me.

00:59:44.960 So the fact that you would

00:59:46.120 make a different decision in

00:59:47.580 the morning than you would in

00:59:49.140 the afternoon doesn't say

00:59:51.480 anything about free will

00:59:52.540 because you're a different

00:59:53.680 person in the afternoon.

00:59:54.860 Well, the circumstance can

00:59:56.180 change and your understanding

00:59:57.360 can change.

00:59:58.480 But I do believe that there's

00:59:59.740 an inherent nature to free

01:00:01.160 will that maybe it transcends

01:00:02.760 the physics.

01:00:03.760 Maybe it's a spiritual component

01:00:05.200 that isn't about physics.

01:00:07.080 Do you believe, do you

01:00:08.360 believe, hold on, do you

01:00:09.560 believe that you have a

01:00:11.680 something with a mind that

01:00:15.040 survives your body?

01:00:18.660 Truthfully, I don't know.

01:00:20.520 I don't know.

01:00:22.220 So I'm trying to find the

01:00:23.580 mechanism that would give you

01:00:25.560 free will.

01:00:26.560 If it's not coming from the

01:00:28.060 physical world, and it can't

01:00:29.500 because physics is physics

01:00:31.640 inside your skull now.

01:00:33.600 If it's coming from someone

01:00:35.480 else, wouldn't it be imposed

01:00:37.180 upon you, let's say it came

01:00:38.900 from God.

01:00:40.200 Let's say God said, all right,

01:00:41.600 I'm going to nudge you

01:00:42.440 toward this decision.

01:00:43.440 That's God's decision, not

01:00:45.820 yours.

01:00:47.060 Yes, I understand.

01:00:48.100 But God said, if we sort of

01:00:49.960 go down that path, God sets you

01:00:51.420 in a place where you have the

01:00:52.900 ability to make these decisions

01:00:54.220 for right or wrong.

01:00:55.440 No, no, hold on, hold on,

01:00:56.680 hold on.

01:00:56.900 I really agree.

01:00:57.920 Oh, Matt, you're substituting

01:00:59.540 instead of logic, you're just

01:01:00.920 saying things are.

01:01:02.220 That doesn't work.

01:01:03.220 God didn't change your physics

01:01:06.460 in that case.

01:01:07.820 He just gave you some more

01:01:08.760 information.

01:01:10.540 No, I'm supposing that there

01:01:11.900 could be something beyond

01:01:12.840 physics that we don't

01:01:13.700 understand, just like there

01:01:14.900 was Newtonian physics, and

01:01:16.520 then Einstein came along, and

01:01:18.020 there was something different.

01:01:19.300 Right.

01:01:19.440 And so I'm supposing that there

01:01:20.700 could be something different

01:01:21.560 controlling it, because it's

01:01:22.880 an inherent field of what's

01:01:24.940 right and wrong.

01:01:25.320 Hold on, hold on, hold on.

01:01:25.580 I'm not disagreeing with the

01:01:27.080 fact that there could be

01:01:27.940 something controlling us

01:01:29.160 outside of our domain.

01:01:31.220 I'm saying that if it did,

01:01:34.180 that would not be an

01:01:35.200 argument for free will.

01:01:36.420 It would just be something

01:01:37.240 else that's moving you

01:01:38.540 that you didn't know about.

01:01:40.060 No, no, I'm not saying

01:01:41.000 controlling.

01:01:41.680 I'm just saying something

01:01:42.480 that exists that allows you

01:01:43.980 to make these decisions

01:01:44.920 that we can't measure

01:01:46.200 Well, who's you?

01:01:46.620 But who's you?

01:01:47.900 I'm my body.

01:01:49.060 I don't have any other

01:01:50.160 part of me that's floating

01:01:51.280 around somewhere.

01:01:52.460 Do you?

01:01:53.800 Is there a part of you

01:01:55.040 that's floating around

01:01:55.820 somewhere?

01:01:56.320 You know, we can talk

01:01:57.060 about a soul, and we can

01:01:58.140 talk about your spirit, and

01:01:59.480 so on.

01:01:59.940 You know, whether they're

01:02:00.960 real or not, obviously,

01:02:02.100 it's very hard to prove

01:02:02.940 one way or the other.

01:02:04.220 But I do believe that

01:02:05.660 somewhere in there, there's

01:02:07.440 a sense of what happens

01:02:09.340 that isn't related to

01:02:10.880 physics.

01:02:11.380 It isn't related to that.

01:02:13.060 And you can choose to go

01:02:14.440 one way.

01:02:15.100 You can just choose to go

01:02:16.180 one way or another, and

01:02:17.400 it's totally up to you.

01:02:17.980 Wait, wait, wait.

01:02:18.500 Hold on.

01:02:18.840 Hold on.

01:02:19.300 You just substituted

01:02:20.360 choose for a reason.

01:02:24.280 You just put a word in

01:02:25.160 there.

01:02:25.480 I call that word thinking.

01:02:26.600 So word thinking is when

01:02:28.440 you just say, I do have

01:02:29.380 free will because I can

01:02:30.220 choose.

01:02:31.020 All you did is just

01:02:32.020 substitute a new word.

01:02:34.860 But you have to argue

01:02:36.480 against the only arguments

01:02:38.360 that work are that physics

01:02:39.900 don't apply to your brain,

01:02:42.820 or that there's some

01:02:44.600 non-physical thing that we

01:02:46.180 don't understand that is

01:02:47.980 also you, so that you

01:02:50.000 exist both as a body, but

01:02:52.420 also as some other entity

01:02:53.880 that's also you, that

01:02:56.300 can control your body.

01:02:58.920 Those are the only two

01:03:00.460 choices I can see.

01:03:02.220 Yeah, right.

01:03:02.700 So it's more the latter.

01:03:03.900 I don't know if it's

01:03:04.440 exactly the right

01:03:05.140 description, but it's

01:03:05.880 more the latter.

01:03:06.700 But that latter also is

01:03:09.880 in your decision-making.

01:03:12.420 It's in your choosing.

01:03:13.880 So let's say if science

01:03:15.800 got to the point, and

01:03:16.760 we know it can't, but

01:03:17.840 let's say it could watch

01:03:18.800 your brain so carefully

01:03:20.140 and so completely that it

01:03:22.400 can predict what the next

01:03:23.560 thing is that will

01:03:24.300 happen.

01:03:25.080 If science could predict

01:03:26.460 the next thing that

01:03:27.340 happened every time, just

01:03:29.400 by looking at your brain,

01:03:31.220 would you say that that

01:03:32.360 rules out that there's

01:03:33.680 some external source that's

01:03:35.400 also influencing it?

01:03:37.100 Absolutely.

01:03:38.000 If it can predict, then

01:03:39.480 you don't have free will,

01:03:40.420 of course.

01:03:40.960 So if there's a prediction

01:03:41.900 model, then there's

01:03:43.660 definitely not free will,

01:03:45.140 or it's chosen for you.

01:03:47.120 I think the point that it

01:03:48.380 can be anything you want

01:03:49.520 is what makes it free will.

01:03:51.500 So yes, your answer, in

01:03:53.080 your theory, of course, if

01:03:55.020 science could come up with

01:03:56.560 a method or you could

01:03:57.580 monitor it and sort of

01:03:58.660 know what would happen

01:03:59.480 with 100% certainty, then

01:04:00.940 I agree.

01:04:01.900 There's no such thing.

01:04:03.120 But I don't think that's

01:04:03.800 ever possible.

01:04:04.800 Well, it's not possible to

01:04:06.040 do the actual science of

01:04:07.880 it, but certainly it's

01:04:09.880 more of a mental

01:04:10.440 experiment.

01:04:11.420 Yeah, so I think that

01:04:12.980 where we could agree,

01:04:14.580 let's find our agreement

01:04:15.960 point.

01:04:16.320 Our agreement point is

01:04:18.140 that if free will exists,

01:04:19.860 it's probably external or

01:04:22.260 something mysterious to

01:04:24.100 the body, but it would

01:04:25.480 have to be essentially

01:04:26.640 you, because otherwise

01:04:28.100 it would be an external

01:04:28.940 force affecting you.

01:04:30.760 Right?

01:04:31.520 I couldn't agree more.

01:04:32.800 I think it's perfectly

01:04:33.460 said.

01:04:33.900 All right.

01:04:34.440 So that allows that in a

01:04:37.660 world we can't completely

01:04:38.920 understand, it could sort

01:04:40.340 of exist in some unknown

01:04:42.040 domain.

01:04:43.640 Right.

01:04:44.120 But I think that's

01:04:44.760 spirituality or religion

01:04:46.460 or, you know, it's sort

01:04:47.340 of implicit in there.

01:04:49.880 So, yeah, I guess I

01:04:50.660 agree.

01:04:51.420 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:51.960 All right.

01:04:52.280 Thanks, Matt.

01:04:53.160 Appreciate it.

01:04:53.620 Thanks for having me.

01:04:54.620 I'll be for it.

01:04:55.200 All right.

01:04:55.440 See you on Twitter.

01:04:57.160 Yeah, see you.

01:04:59.860 I love talking to the

01:05:01.780 people that I've talked

01:05:02.560 to on Twitter.

01:05:04.120 You know, it just gives

01:05:05.080 them that full personality

01:05:06.960 thing.

01:05:08.500 All right.

01:05:10.280 Shaylock says, and this

01:05:11.380 is the interesting point,

01:05:12.880 if there's no free will,

01:05:14.120 then no man can be held

01:05:15.780 responsible for their

01:05:17.220 actions.

01:05:17.780 What do you think of

01:05:18.260 that?

01:05:19.320 If free will is an illusion,

01:05:21.620 let's say everybody

01:05:22.240 agreed it's an illusion,

01:05:23.780 that people cannot be held

01:05:25.180 to.

01:05:26.340 Do you know why that's

01:05:27.300 ridiculous?

01:05:28.900 Because the people who are

01:05:30.180 holding them responsible

01:05:31.300 have no free will.

01:05:33.340 They're going to do it.

01:05:36.180 They don't have a choice.

01:05:37.980 Of course they're going to

01:05:38.680 do it.

01:05:39.160 And the reason they're

01:05:39.900 going to do it is because

01:05:41.180 you don't have free will.

01:05:42.260 What you do have is the

01:05:45.100 ability to weigh costs

01:05:46.900 and benefits and to do

01:05:48.560 the thing which you think

01:05:49.740 is the best thing for

01:05:50.620 you.

01:05:51.380 So if they increase the

01:05:52.740 cost of doing something

01:05:55.420 like stealing, it does

01:05:57.720 change your likelihood of

01:05:59.400 doing it.

01:06:00.200 So your lack of free will

01:06:01.760 is why you have to be

01:06:03.300 punished.

01:06:04.380 Do you understand that?

01:06:05.940 You have to be punished

01:06:07.400 because you don't have

01:06:09.580 free will.

01:06:10.060 Does that make sense?

01:06:15.360 Because without the

01:06:16.360 punishment, you would

01:06:17.260 choose the wrong things.

01:06:18.820 It's the punishment that

01:06:20.420 makes you choose

01:06:21.080 correctly.

01:06:21.620 It's not you.

01:06:22.900 It's not you.

01:06:24.080 I'm making you choose.

01:06:25.740 I'm putting a gun to your

01:06:26.800 head and saying, don't do

01:06:28.660 it.

01:06:29.640 Don't do it.

01:06:30.460 And you're like, but I

01:06:31.220 want to do it.

01:06:32.140 Don't do it.

01:06:34.760 So no, if you don't have

01:06:36.800 free will, you have to

01:06:37.920 have laws.

01:06:38.460 It's the only thing that

01:06:40.360 makes people act in a way

01:06:41.920 where we can all survive.

01:06:52.080 So everybody who's using

01:06:53.600 the word choosing or

01:06:54.940 choice, you're not part of

01:06:57.020 the logical argument.

01:06:59.640 Right?

01:07:00.420 Because I see people trying

01:07:01.820 to weasel.

01:07:02.620 This always happens in this

01:07:03.800 conversation.

01:07:04.660 People try to word, think

01:07:06.320 their way around.

01:07:06.820 I just saw that in locals.

01:07:08.600 Well, maybe there's

01:07:09.940 something external, but

01:07:11.700 once it reaches your

01:07:12.560 brain, you still get to

01:07:14.080 choose.

01:07:15.840 That's not an argument.

01:07:17.520 You just said that free

01:07:18.980 will exists because choice

01:07:20.220 exists.

01:07:20.700 In other words, you just

01:07:21.340 gave it a different name

01:07:22.340 and then declared victory.

01:07:25.120 All right.

01:07:25.780 Let me prove to you that my

01:07:30.800 telephone is really a

01:07:32.740 cantaloupe.

01:07:33.280 You're a cantaloupe.

01:07:35.920 Done.

01:07:37.840 If you don't think my

01:07:38.900 phone is a cantaloupe, I

01:07:40.020 just argue that it is.

01:07:41.440 It's a cantaloupe.

01:07:43.820 Do you like my argument?

01:07:46.260 That's the same argument I

01:07:47.580 just saw.

01:07:48.880 Somebody says I have free

01:07:50.500 will because I can choose.

01:07:51.920 My phone is a cantaloupe

01:07:53.160 because it's a cantaloupe.

01:07:55.260 Same thing.

01:07:58.480 All right.

01:07:59.060 Spaces, thanks for joining.

01:08:00.460 I'm going to end the

01:08:01.000 Spaces and I appreciate

01:08:02.720 it.

01:08:07.160 I forgot the Spaces

01:08:08.340 was still on.

01:08:09.160 I was just talking away

01:08:10.440 like it wasn't on.

01:08:15.680 Life changed when you

01:08:16.980 realize there's no free

01:08:18.020 will.

01:08:20.980 You have no choice how

01:08:22.540 to define it.

01:08:23.340 Emergent is the key.

01:08:32.620 So you think choice is an

01:08:34.260 emergent property?

01:08:38.840 I don't know.

01:08:42.060 That's a stretch.

01:08:44.960 Randomness is the key.

01:08:46.800 No, randomness simply

01:08:47.800 exists.

01:08:49.060 It's not the key to

01:08:49.800 anything.

01:08:50.040 Online philosophy

01:08:53.700 lectures.

01:09:00.200 Free will is an

01:09:01.380 emergent of biology.

01:09:04.000 No, the illusion of

01:09:05.400 free will is emergent

01:09:06.720 from biology.

01:09:07.960 The illusion of

01:09:08.640 free will.

01:09:13.440 All right.

01:09:15.460 How about assigned

01:09:16.520 opinions?

01:09:17.020 Assigned opinions are

01:09:18.240 just mechanical.

01:09:20.040 Free will is a

01:09:25.700 contested term.

01:09:26.740 Yeah, I guess it

01:09:27.260 is.

01:09:30.820 So to me, the only

01:09:32.260 way that free will

01:09:33.140 can exist is if we're

01:09:34.260 a simulation.

01:09:36.220 And that we steer the

01:09:38.000 simulation by authoring

01:09:39.400 it, but it isn't so

01:09:41.100 much our own choices

01:09:42.020 we're changing.

01:09:43.880 All right.

01:09:44.120 Here's how you can

01:09:44.900 have free will.

01:09:46.320 Let me give you a

01:09:47.480 version of free will

01:09:48.260 that I would believe

01:09:48.920 in.

01:09:49.100 I can program

01:09:52.340 myself to make

01:09:53.380 different decisions

01:09:54.280 in the future.

01:09:56.360 I can program

01:09:57.460 myself now to make

01:09:59.480 different decisions in

01:10:00.560 the future.

01:10:00.960 For example, I can

01:10:03.040 use my lack of free

01:10:04.260 will now.

01:10:05.640 All right.

01:10:05.840 So let's say I don't

01:10:06.680 have free will, but I

01:10:08.100 can use my lack of free

01:10:09.160 will, which is driving

01:10:10.060 me to avoid listening

01:10:12.300 to negative movies and

01:10:14.160 music.

01:10:14.740 right?

01:10:16.480 So I'll use my lack of

01:10:17.860 free will to make sure

01:10:19.480 that I don't expose

01:10:20.640 myself to negative

01:10:21.540 media.

01:10:23.100 Now, project myself

01:10:24.760 into the future.

01:10:26.060 Will my decision be the

01:10:27.740 same as if I had not

01:10:29.360 done this now?

01:10:30.860 Probably not.

01:10:31.700 I would make different

01:10:32.700 decisions in the future

01:10:33.740 if I had exposed myself

01:10:35.120 to those things.

01:10:35.740 So basically, I'm using

01:10:37.880 my non-free will now

01:10:39.520 because I'm just doing

01:10:41.300 what I'm doing, but it

01:10:43.260 is creating a situation

01:10:44.340 where my future decisions

01:10:45.740 will be different than

01:10:47.320 they would have been

01:10:47.920 today or under a

01:10:49.660 different situation.

01:10:50.420 So that's sort of like a

01:10:52.440 minor version of free

01:10:53.800 will.

01:10:54.320 I can set myself up to

01:10:56.100 make a different decision

01:10:57.120 in the future without

01:10:59.420 having the choice about

01:11:00.560 it at the moment.

01:11:03.080 I mean, it's not really

01:11:04.320 free will, but sort of

01:11:06.280 ish.

01:11:08.920 All right.

01:11:10.800 That's choice.

01:11:11.860 Yeah, you're right.

01:11:12.440 That's choice.

01:11:14.400 But it's not free will.

01:11:15.300 Yes, if the Big Bang

01:11:24.320 created a chain of

01:11:28.560 cause and effect that

01:11:29.980 was determined by the

01:11:31.000 physics of the time,

01:11:32.500 then nobody had any

01:11:33.600 free will.

01:11:34.480 And everything from the

01:11:35.800 first moment of

01:11:37.560 creation determined

01:11:39.280 everything else exactly

01:11:40.980 with no deviation.

01:11:45.300 If physics is real,

01:11:47.920 you know, and there's

01:11:49.960 nothing else influencing

01:11:50.920 it.

01:11:52.160 All right.

01:11:53.880 That's all I got for

01:11:54.880 today.

01:11:55.300 It's a weird kind of

01:11:56.400 holiday day.

01:11:57.700 I don't know if anybody

01:11:58.580 else is working.

01:12:00.280 Am I the only one

01:12:01.080 working today?

01:12:02.360 Is anybody else

01:12:02.940 working today?

01:12:05.620 Anybody?

01:12:06.960 Oh, we got some

01:12:07.920 workers.

01:12:08.440 All right.

01:12:09.140 All right.

01:12:10.380 Then I don't feel

01:12:11.220 alone.

01:12:12.820 I work every day.

01:12:15.300 Uh, even on

01:12:16.300 vacation, you know,

01:12:17.240 I'll just get up

01:12:17.800 earlier and work.

01:12:19.480 And I don't know if

01:12:21.260 anybody has this,

01:12:22.220 does anybody else have

01:12:23.140 this feeling that if

01:12:24.700 you take time off,

01:12:26.000 it's really, really

01:12:27.660 hard to work again.

01:12:29.420 Have you had that

01:12:30.200 experience?

01:12:31.560 Like I almost never

01:12:32.940 take time off unless

01:12:33.860 it's forced, you know,

01:12:34.960 like I'm in the

01:12:35.860 hospital or something.

01:12:37.340 Um, but yeah, I, if I

01:12:40.620 take two days off from

01:12:41.740 writing a comic, I feel

01:12:43.620 like I don't know how to

01:12:44.460 do it anymore.

01:12:46.680 So it's actually, it

01:12:48.300 sort of, it sort of

01:12:49.800 helps my mental state to

01:12:52.220 always do a little work

01:12:53.340 every day.

01:12:53.860 Then I feel like I'm in

01:12:55.080 the game.

01:12:56.100 Now I'm going to, I'm

01:12:57.240 going to make a claim

01:12:58.100 that I think it's too

01:13:00.540 early to know, but you

01:13:02.460 can observe this over

01:13:03.760 time.

01:13:05.240 I believe that not

01:13:06.560 retiring is making me

01:13:08.020 smarter.

01:13:08.400 because every day I

01:13:11.400 work, I wake up, I'm

01:13:12.880 66 now, and at 66 I

01:13:15.780 wake up and I make

01:13:16.840 insanely complicated

01:13:18.460 decisions every day,

01:13:19.860 like really complicated

01:13:21.040 decisions about a lot of

01:13:22.660 stuff every day.

01:13:24.540 And I don't know how

01:13:27.080 that could be anything

01:13:28.020 but good for my brain.

01:13:31.240 And I was reading an

01:13:32.240 article about how people

01:13:34.700 who have accomplished

01:13:35.340 things, you tend to do

01:13:36.740 things at age 25.

01:13:40.020 You know, people seem

01:13:40.960 to be pretty good at age

01:13:41.880 25.

01:13:43.000 Chess players max out

01:13:44.220 at 35.

01:13:47.140 But there's recognition

01:13:49.140 that some people pick up

01:13:50.900 skills as they go, and

01:13:52.280 in some cases they could

01:13:53.320 be more effective as they

01:13:54.980 get older.

01:13:55.840 How old is Jordan

01:13:56.740 Peterson?

01:13:59.080 Is he 60 yet?

01:14:02.440 He's 60, right?

01:14:04.240 Is Jordan Peterson doing

01:14:05.740 his best work?

01:14:06.740 I would say he is.

01:14:10.900 I would say he's doing

01:14:11.800 his best work, and that

01:14:14.020 he's, I don't even know

01:14:15.980 if he's peaked.

01:14:16.920 He may not have peaked.

01:14:19.040 Because, you know, his

01:14:20.500 life is studying all kinds

01:14:23.440 of stuff until you get to

01:14:25.980 this age where all the

01:14:27.380 stuff starts coming

01:14:28.240 together into one coherent

01:14:30.580 point of view, and then he

01:14:32.300 shares it with us.

01:14:33.080 And we say, oh my God, it

01:14:35.660 looks like you've been

01:14:36.260 thinking about that for

01:14:37.200 61 years.

01:14:38.740 And he was.

01:14:39.940 And so he helps you out.

01:14:41.640 Now, I feel like my

01:14:43.820 positive impact is the

01:14:47.380 greatest now that it's ever

01:14:48.960 been.

01:14:50.340 Now, Dilbert was its own

01:14:51.540 thing, and probably I

01:14:52.660 couldn't create a Dilbert,

01:14:54.140 you know, from scratch if I

01:14:55.400 started today.

01:14:56.420 You know, it had to be the

01:14:57.060 right time and the right

01:14:57.880 place and all that other

01:14:59.060 stuff.

01:15:00.220 But I don't feel that my

01:15:03.820 effectiveness is less than

01:15:05.980 it was when I was 25.

01:15:07.660 I feel like I'm at my

01:15:08.900 highest effectiveness right

01:15:10.100 now.

01:15:12.780 Yeah, George Carlin was

01:15:14.380 still killing it into his

01:15:16.300 60s.

01:15:17.220 A lot of examples of that.

01:15:20.440 J.K. Rowling, I don't

01:15:22.540 know.

01:15:23.380 How old was she when she

01:15:24.360 was writing her best, doing

01:15:25.900 her best work?

01:15:27.120 40s?

01:15:29.060 Well, Charlie Munger, yeah,

01:15:34.860 Charlie Munger's 99, and he

01:15:37.700 still makes sense, doesn't

01:15:38.800 he?

01:15:39.340 Charlie Munger's not retired,

01:15:40.800 is he?

01:15:41.840 He's 99?

01:15:44.020 Yeah, he's not retired.

01:15:46.920 Have you ever heard Charlie

01:15:48.120 Munger talk?

01:15:49.860 Does he sound like a 99-year-old?

01:15:53.220 Well, a little bit, but you

01:15:56.240 can tell that the brain is

01:15:57.740 still there.

01:15:59.060 Still working fine.

01:16:00.820 Yeah, maybe a little

01:16:01.560 degradation, but still

01:16:02.840 working fine.

01:16:03.800 Thomas Sowell.

01:16:04.840 How old is Thomas Sowell?

01:16:07.060 I keep thinking he passed

01:16:08.360 away, but he's still around,

01:16:09.380 right?

01:16:09.840 He's 91.

01:16:11.000 You just don't see him

01:16:11.840 because of his age, I guess.

01:16:15.400 All right.

01:16:16.000 Well, that's all I got to

01:16:16.800 say today.

01:16:17.460 So happy 4th of July,

01:16:18.920 everybody.

01:16:19.700 And I'll see you later,

01:16:24.080 I'll see you later.

01:16:24.400 That's all I've heard it's

01:16:25.760 going to be later.

01:16:26.140 Yeah.

01:16:26.460 That's sweet.

01:16:28.620 Now, what's that is?

01:16:30.280 That's awesome.
