Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2324 CWSA 12⧸16⧸23 All The News Is Absurd & Delicious, And That's How I Like It

00:00:00.000 good morning everybody and welcome to coffee with scott adams the finest time of the weekend and

00:00:17.040 every other day too if you'd like this experience which is already extraordinary to go to levels

00:00:23.200 that nobody can even understand with their small human brains you'd need ai for that and i'm not

00:00:29.200 talking about large language models you'd need a gi for that or ultimately all you need is a

00:00:35.200 cup or a mug or a glass a tank or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind

00:00:41.200 fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure

00:00:47.120 the dopamine that is the day the thing that makes everything better it's called simultaneous sip

00:00:52.640 and it happens now

00:00:54.320 ah very good well the news is not uh super interesting today so i'm just going to add

00:01:08.240 jokes to all of it is that okay i'll just add jokes to all of the news if i have any well they are

00:01:15.520 they're not all jokeable uh let's see we'll start with uh matthew perry we know what happened to him

00:01:21.920 now it was a ketamine overdose which apparently caused him to lose consciousness and then i guess

00:01:29.040 he slipped into his hot tub so did anybody have drug overdose as their their bet i have to admit i was

00:01:39.840 thinking it was fentanyl but it could have been anything so i've never heard of a ketamine uh well i

00:01:46.560 don't know if it's an overdose but if he had not been in a hot tub he probably just would have passed

00:01:51.680 out and awakened so yeah it's more about the drowning than the overdose correct

00:01:59.680 well there's a brand new digital girlfriend app uh digi is the company digi.ai

00:02:07.360 and uh it's sort of cartoon looking but it's sort of like jessica rabbit you know kind of a

00:02:14.320 attractive cartoon looking character and i don't know why people are excited about it but it got a

00:02:20.080 lot of attention today um and i want i'm going to ask you this tell me in the comments um i happen to

00:02:30.000 know that my audience includes a lot of people who don't spend time with other people um would you use

00:02:36.480 a digital companion how many of you do if you're willing to admit it how many of you are willing

00:02:44.000 to use a digital campaign now the ones who are saying no um i i feel like you have to establish your

00:02:55.680 human bona fides or something it's like no i would never do that you know what this feels like

00:03:02.160 this feels like 1985 when you ask somebody if they look at porn is anybody is anybody old enough to

00:03:13.280 remember that in 1985 if you said hey do you look at porn what would people say no no what well why

00:03:23.760 would you even ask that well who looks at porn besides like creepy perverts i i don't need it i don't need it

00:03:33.120 i don't need any porn not me i don't even know why you're asking that question why are you looking

00:03:38.400 at me why would you even ask me about that question and then you fast forward to the 2000s

00:03:45.840 you look at porn yeah i really love the midget stuff am i right you get a completely different answer 0.84

00:03:55.760 in the 2000s than you did in the 80s very different so i just asked this question how many of you would

00:04:02.320 have been consider having an ai companion and people are like no no no no no no no no way there's no way

00:04:13.520 you're gonna get me with a ai companion well let me check back with you in about 20 years maybe 40.

00:04:22.160 yeah i think at least half of you who said no way will indeed have a digital companion that's my

00:04:29.600 prediction i don't think this technology is quite there but i'm gonna i'm gonna tell you something

00:04:35.520 without too much details yesterday i sampled i'm gonna be very vague here so don't ask me for details

00:04:44.240 i'm vague intentionally for your benefit so this is vagueness for your benefit not mine

00:04:49.600 there there is a digital product that i'm not going to describe that gives you the sensation of

00:04:56.880 being with a human and i i tried it out yesterday and it's not porn not porn and my god oh my god

00:05:09.280 it gives you an experience that i can't even explain now so far the thing i'm talking about which is a

00:05:16.560 digital product is not combined with ai can you guess what it is that the other thing is

00:05:25.840 yeah he probably can but it's not porn but when you combine it with ai it's going to blow your 0.91

00:05:31.760 mind out and you don't see it coming but i've experienced it so i can tell you that the

00:05:40.480 the empty feeling you get from looking at a cartoonish ai partner is going to be kind of bland and two 0.77

00:05:49.040 dimensional and won't really have much impact on you there won't be that many people who fall in love

00:05:55.120 with a cartoon version of a person but there's another level and the the and the level that's coming is

00:06:02.960 is like a hundred x times these little cartoony characters and there's something coming you don't

00:06:09.040 see it yet but you will anyway mickey mouse is coming off copyright but not entirely so i guess now the

00:06:19.600 copyright laws protect some stuff for 95 years and the original mickey mouse animated steamboat willie

00:06:28.080 little black and white cartoon from 95 years ago uh it was just coming off a copyright so you can now

00:06:36.320 legally create not the modern uh mickey so modern modern mickey mouse is still protected

00:06:43.520 i don't know how they get away with that but uh the the original version if you were to draw one just

00:06:49.440 like that i think you could even call it mickey mouse that part i don't know

00:06:53.520 do they maybe a lawyer can tell me this are there any lawyers who are watching but mickey mouse is

00:07:02.400 probably trademarked so probably you could draw the character but you could not name it mickey mouse

00:07:11.680 yeah i think that's correct so it's not going to be have much impact on disney so that it's not

00:07:18.160 going to affect their stock price however there's a really good chance that uh

00:07:23.600 the dillbert character will uh have a new friend for ratbert so if you follow dillbert you know rat

00:07:31.040 bird is one of the characters so he might get uh mickey mouse burke mouse burke but it would have to be

00:07:37.760 the steamboat willy versions i saw jesse waters yesterday on fox news talking about how we still

00:07:46.720 don't have the epstein flight logs and he he was suggesting that the people not releasing them

00:07:54.560 uh you know maybe have some culpability or why can't we see them now i agree that when it comes to the

00:07:59.440 government you should expect the worst and assume the worst if there's no transparency however i'm

00:08:07.840 going to vigorously disagree with the public seeing epstein's uh flight logs because do you believe that

00:08:17.360 100 of the people who went on epstein's flights knew there was something wrong and knew that they were

00:08:24.160 traveling with a bad guy or were they just it was just rich people borrowing jets from other rich people

00:08:30.880 oh my jet's going this way you want to come along so i understand why the public is curious

00:08:38.560 and i understand why you want to see it

00:08:40.320 but to me this would be the height of um improper behavior that this would fly against everything

00:08:50.960 that's american in my opinion everything american would be violated by uh throwing everybody on that

00:08:59.280 flight log under the bus well let me ask you how many of you think that a hundred percent of the people

00:09:05.360 who were ever on his jet you should be ostracized from human civilization that's what would happen

00:09:13.360 does anybody think that a hundred percent of the people on the flights

00:09:16.480 should be thrown under the bus no but there's a yes i think if you said yes you're a bad person

00:09:25.680 honestly you're just a bad person you're gonna have to deal with that for the rest of your life

00:09:30.640 but not my problem all right here's what i think i think when you're talking about individual american

00:09:37.280 citizens they need to be innocent until proven guilty and being on a flight log even epstein's flight

00:09:45.760 does not prove you did anything wrong and i am unless i'm misunderstanding the issue here maybe i am

00:09:53.760 if if there's if nobody has been uh accused of a specific crime that's their own business that is

00:10:03.040 their own private business and i'm sure they are regret that they got on that plane but it doesn't mean that

00:10:09.600 they're guilty of any horrible crimes so i absolutely disagree with jesse waters and anybody else who wants

00:10:16.080 to see the flight logs are we curious yes yes very curious very curious should i see them no no i never

00:10:27.280 want to see them and and and the reason is just be to be very clear the reason is because individual

00:10:36.240 citizens are just innocent until proven guilty and there's no wiggle room on that like i realize this is

00:10:42.160 not a wouldn't be a trial but that's why i don't want to see them you wouldn't want your privacy violated

00:10:49.200 that way uh there's a novel method for uranium extraction from wastewater how about that because

00:10:57.760 we got that uranium shortage uh but it also generates electricity while you're doing it whoa

00:11:03.360 wow now a lot of you look to me for your explanations of how science works so i'd like to

00:11:11.920 just explain to you in the simplest possible ways i'm just going to keep this simple just just a summary

00:11:18.560 of how the technology works all right so here's what you need to know that's a it's a spontaneous

00:11:23.520 microbial uh electrochemical uh method so that's the first thing you need to know and what they do is

00:11:28.880 they spatially decouple the microbial oxidation uh and the uranium reduction reactions and it's an

00:11:35.440 innovation that uh what you do is you got the two chambers separated by the proton exchange membrane

00:11:41.600 you got that right and then obvious obvious they're going to separate with a proton exchange membrane

00:11:46.880 then you use an anode made of carbon felt and a cathode titanium foil

00:11:51.760 and then the process uses that as i said you know not to repeat myself but microbial driven

00:11:59.600 electromechanical reaction and that facilitates sort of a uranium extraction from the wastewater which

00:12:05.920 simultaneously generates the electricity now you know what makes me a little bit angry about this

00:12:14.240 well you and i thought of this idea but didn't do anything about it so i guess i guess

00:12:21.120 that just tells you that life life really rewards action i mean i was just thinking about this and

00:12:28.320 i'm like oh i wonder i wonder if i put two chambers separated by a protein exchange no grain and then

00:12:37.360 introduced a nanode made of carbon felt so i was thinking about this the other day but i did nothing

00:12:43.120 about it so i feel like an idiot now well elon musk is always in the news and he's uh dumping on disney 0.83

00:12:53.040 lately he said that uh walt disney might be turning in his grave because disney is infected deeply infected

00:13:00.080 with the woke mind virus i think he's really trying to make that woke mind virus thing you know part of the

00:13:09.040 common consciousness you know i know a number of people used him before he did but he's usually

00:13:13.360 driving home and they he says they used to bring joy to people's life disney did making wonderful

00:13:20.640 things a family enjoyed but now now it should be just basically they're giving you woke garbage

00:13:28.560 speaking of woke garbage um did you know that roughly one-third of adults under 30 uh regularly scroll

00:13:39.520 tick tock for the news so one-third of young people are getting their news from tick tock

00:13:45.920 and there's a communications expert molly mcpherson who was at an axios event and she said that the

00:13:52.560 heartbeat of public opinion is tick tock she's a crisis communication expert so she would know

00:13:59.200 and she says quote if you're not paying attention to that content then you're missing out because

00:14:04.080 that's where the information and viral trends start

00:14:09.360 so viral trends start on tick tock do you realize what that means right it means that china 0.74

00:14:19.280 literally literally has a user interface on our reality because what you what americans believe

00:14:30.160 is what they gather from their media and social media is the main thing that's influencing the young

00:14:36.240 people and according to this communication expert molly mcpherson who's probably correct

00:14:42.560 the the viral stuff starts on tick tock and then nobody can ignore it like then then it becomes our news

00:14:50.240 so here's the path the chinese government owns by dance by dance owns tick tock tick tock has a button

00:14:59.280 called heat that they can literally push to make something trend with which they've admitted i'm not

00:15:05.280 i'm not making this up tick tock says this so the government can control the companies in china that's

00:15:11.680 normal business they have an actual physical mechanism for making some things more viral than others

00:15:19.520 and now we know the rest of the picture viral things on tick tock become the news

00:15:25.840 and then it becomes our consciousness

00:15:30.800 it's still legal and congress still says yeah but you know free speech

00:15:39.680 there's no question whatsoever the congress is bought off or corrupt

00:15:43.280 because they couldn't be that stupid but here i'm being kind i cannot imagine that congress is so 0.60

00:15:52.800 stupid that they don't know how much for risk this is they can't be that stupid so what's left 0.93

00:16:00.080 it's not a mistake because everybody's telling them you know that they've engaged in the conversation

00:16:07.760 so it's not a mistake

00:16:11.680 what could it be there's only one thing left

00:16:15.040 corruption there's literally only one explanation corruption

00:16:19.280 so anybody who's voting to keep tick tock legal now i will allow that for the uh you know let's say

00:16:28.800 the thomas massey types who are absolutists about free speech if you're an absolutist

00:16:35.520 i'm going to give you a half a pass half a pass because i do appreciate consistency

00:16:42.960 that's worth something but this is a national uh it's a threat this is not like a normal communication

00:16:50.880 thing all right there's a new story about a quote missing binder a 10-inch binder that

00:16:57.600 disappeared at sometime around the transition from trump to biden this binder contains classified

00:17:03.520 information related to uh the the russian collusion claims and apparently uh there was some thought

00:17:15.840 that the real reason for the raid on mar-a-lago is to get that binder back now some say the binder

00:17:23.520 might have too much information in it those sources and methods and that's why they it's so critical to

00:17:30.400 get it back and and they're thinking that maybe the information isn't terribly important but the

00:17:36.240 sources and methods might be other people say that's exactly why trump has it if he hasn't there's

00:17:43.920 no evidence that he hasn't but if he has it because apparently there was an effort to make it um public

00:17:52.240 public information but there was a process you know a lengthy process of redacting stuff that hadn't been

00:17:59.040 completed so is there somewhere does somebody have a binder that could be really really damaging to

00:18:10.640 maybe some leadership of the fbi maybe not just sources and methods but maybe something embarrassing

00:18:20.000 maybe so we're only speculating because we don't know what's in it but maybe it has something to do

00:18:25.920 with mar-a-lago raids that's certainly not um i don't have any direct evidence of that um and maybe

00:18:34.160 trump had it specifically because they gave him some blackmail control over that maybe but i don't

00:18:40.800 have any evidence of that so we don't have any evidence who who has it or what's in it or why we care

00:18:46.480 but it's one of the big stories today this is a big story we literally don't know anything that's true

00:18:52.880 there's nothing i don't know maybe it doesn't even exist all right here's a evergreen story that i keep

00:19:01.440 going back to um as you know there appear to be continuing excess deaths well after the pandemic is

00:19:09.760 over but the excess deaths weirdly seem to be concentrated in the young and whereas old people

00:19:17.600 are actually doing fine in terms of their uh death does that make sense to you that young people

00:19:24.000 would have much higher death after the pandemic and old people would be doing maybe even better than 1.00

00:19:32.720 normal to me that makes perfect sense i'm actually confused why it's confusing or why there's even any

00:19:40.960 mystery to it at all let me explain old people all of the weak old people died early that's it that the 1.00

00:19:50.560 ones who were would have maybe held on for a little bit longer the coven got them and maybe maybe the

00:19:59.280 pandemic you know restrictions decreased their quality of life so much that you know they died a little

00:20:06.400 early from that so it makes sense that older people had some excess deaths and now we're just seeing

00:20:12.320 you know the the after effect but how do you explain how do you explain young people dying at an excess rate

00:20:21.680 well when you read the stories about the young people dying at an excess rate

00:20:26.640 does it tell you which category of death within that group of people is up which category

00:20:33.840 how can you read a story like this that says there's this mysterious and horrible you know

00:20:42.160 well over a hundred thousand deaths extra it's in young people you know where there should be not any 0.99

00:20:47.760 deaths why isn't the most important part of the story what they're dying from

00:20:56.000 how is that not the most important part of the story so do you what do you conclude what do you

00:21:01.840 conclude from a national like a big story the young people are dying too much and the story doesn't

00:21:10.240 mention what they died from was it self-violence was it an accident was it drug overdose was it heart

00:21:20.800 attacks what was it what but but before you speculate about what it was deal with the first question

00:21:29.440 why would there be a national story without breaking down the cause of death how how does that tell you

00:21:36.720 anything i saw this from pierre cory you know him from you know pandemic he was a a rogue doctor

00:21:49.760 meaning that he was not agreeing with the consensus on vaccinations

00:21:53.440 does it seem to you that somebody is trying to suggest that the vaccinations killed

00:22:02.800 that's what i'm getting out of it because it was pierre cory he was talking about it

00:22:07.360 and he's the one who says that the vaccinations are dangerous but he doesn't complete the loop

00:22:12.640 he doesn't complete the loop and say the exact things that they're dying from

00:22:17.760 are the exact things we'd worry about a vaccination having a side effect

00:22:23.680 you say yes he did but not in the article i saw in the article i saw he speculated

00:22:29.440 but he did not mention the the more recent stuff does not does not define the specific causes

00:22:40.080 right now i have seen him i have seen him say separately and before

00:22:45.120 that myocarditis was higher in young people because of vaccinations

00:22:48.800 so i have heard that but what the insurance companies are dealing with you know these big

00:22:54.560 excess deaths they're not they're not completing the loop they're not saying that you know it seems

00:23:00.800 heart related and heart related would be suggestive of maybe something that happened recently like

00:23:07.360 vaccinations no autopsies now when young people die unexpectedly don't they do autopsy

00:23:14.800 if a 15 year old dies of a heart attack they don't check that out

00:23:23.040 i i don't know exactly all right so here's what i i make of it i don't believe it

00:23:28.560 i i i first don't believe the numbers and then i secondly don't believe there isn't an obvious

00:23:39.040 explanation for it because to me it seems like the the suicides and the drug overdoses

00:23:46.080 would be through the roof

00:23:47.120 and then i think something happened to all of us socially would you agree how many of you feel

00:23:56.320 socially damaged by the pandemic i do i feel permanently changed by the pandemic

00:24:03.680 meaning that my my social impulse is almost none almost none

00:24:09.040 yeah so if i were a teen and i had my social impulse erased

00:24:19.600 and i just lived online and watched porn all day and was on social media i don't know feels like that

00:24:26.560 could kill you but i don't know what the cause is so i don't want to speculate too hard it does seem

00:24:30.880 like it might be a whole bunch of different things um elon musk is going hard at dei he says dei must die

00:24:38.400 in a separate uh he had two posts on it he and he said the point was to end discrimination not

00:24:45.280 replace it with different discrimination diversity equity inclusion are propaganda words for racism

00:24:50.560 sexism and other isms and then later he said this is not just morally wrong as any other racism

00:24:57.280 sexism changing the target class doesn't make it right um yeah so how much do you love the fact

00:25:07.840 that elon musk is going hard at dei and the sg and the other racist policies i feel like we couldn't

00:25:17.200 even have the conversation without him how is he not person of the year

00:25:22.240 wasn't person of the year like taylor swift or something taylor swift person of the year

00:25:34.800 oh my god anyway well by now you probably know uh that there was a uh staffer or senator cardin

00:25:46.160 who was having some um some gay um 0.97

00:25:52.240 sex in uh what was it these some kind of senate uh hearing room since large hearing room so this is

00:25:59.440 the same place that they've done senate supreme court confirmations and impeachment proceedings and that

00:26:04.560 sort of thing um and in the video that we see uh it's two men uh one is taking the other from behind

00:26:13.840 apparently um there's no word if they are uh colonizers colonizers

00:26:22.480 um other questions that we don't know is uh is this the reason that the politicians like schumer

00:26:31.760 they keep telling the public that we don't want to know how the sausage is made

00:26:37.280 now they've told us you don't want to know how the sausage is made were they referring to this

00:26:42.480 i don't know um is this another case of uh we've always heard that the senators are really interested in

00:26:52.000 pork i don't know if that's related in any way um but he's probably not the first person in the room

00:27:01.760 remember to get some pork and what i really wonder

00:27:07.440 is were they filming it uh as sort of a skit for uh grade school were they making some content for the

00:27:14.960 young people no or was it was it just sex it looked like they were making some kind of a tutorial maybe for

00:27:24.320 grade school i don't know i'm just guessing i'm just guessing i just watched the news like you do

00:27:29.840 i don't know i don't know what was going on but uh yeah that's how the sausage was made all right

00:27:36.480 um let me let me say this i don't want to see them get fired and i don't care right all right let's be

00:27:49.600 honest are we only caring because it was gay sex is that the only thing that made it news if this had 0.83

00:27:56.640 been heterosexual sex in the same room would anybody even be talking about it 1.00

00:28:03.760 you think you would but would we be talking about the same way would it be like funnier

00:28:12.000 no there's something a little homophobic about the story that makes me uncomfortable i like to laugh

00:28:18.720 at the public sex stories but would it be funny if they were hetero oh it wouldn't be as funny

00:28:25.600 so i guess that's homophobic in a way anyway check your check your bigotry on that one um mayor boston mayor

00:28:40.160 had the so-called uh uh electeds of color dinner that went ahead and uh

00:28:47.040 uh apparently the dinner just went ahead and they excluded white people and they were pretty happy 1.00

00:28:56.960 about it they seemed look like they had a good time um but you know i tweeted yesterday that the uh

00:29:05.120 the public is waking up to 40 years of insane level of discrimination against white men

00:29:12.160 and only this year we can we can say it out loud so finally finally you can actually say but you know

00:29:19.760 no discrimination that's against white men at least in in hiring and corporations has been far worse

00:29:27.520 far worse than discrimination against any other group not even close but you couldn't even say that

00:29:34.160 without you know losing your career a few years ago so i'm liking this free speech

00:29:40.800 found good stuff enjoying it

00:29:42.800 uh ibm and red hat i guess red hats owned by ibm now uh there was an internal document at red hat

00:29:52.800 an anti-white document that's apparently still current uh among so james o'keefe got a hold of this

00:29:59.760 from his whistleblowers um and it says there are 10 commandments for uh that white people have to observe

00:30:09.440 the allyship commandments so it's had to be a good white person in red hat and one commandment states

00:30:17.440 only white people can be racist

00:30:21.680 another one is that uh accept that white people are responsible for dismantling racism

00:30:28.160 and then another section argues that whiteness constructs the game hides the rules and then rigs the game

00:30:34.080 over and over again so basically it's just racist anti-white um stuff in ibm so ibm is

00:30:42.880 a racist organization super racist and it's overt it's not hidden they are overtly in public super racist

00:30:55.440 against white people

00:30:56.480 so there's that now people keep telling me i should be concerned about things that happened a long time

00:31:05.360 ago for example uh people are trying to double dunk on ibm by saying that ibm in world war ii

00:31:13.360 may have helped hitler organize the death camps or something maybe it's true maybe it's not i don't give a

00:31:20.560 a fuck i don't give a fuck what ibm did with a bunch of dead people 50 75 years ago whatever it is 0.98

00:31:28.880 i do not care what they did then i totally care what they're doing now

00:31:35.920 what they're doing now really really bad but i don't care what what because all those people are dead

00:31:42.560 there's nobody to answer for it they're all dead i don't care you know i don't care that volkswagen

00:31:48.800 was hitler's car hitler's dead all the people who made those decisions all dead

00:31:56.080 i can just drive a volkswagen if i like it i'm allowed

00:32:02.080 not my preferred car but i used to have one um and i certainly don't care about uh

00:32:10.720 i don't care which political party started the kkk can you stop forwarding me

00:32:17.520 it was the democrats that created the kkk i don't care i don't care they're all dead

00:32:25.680 every one of them is dead don't care if the kkk got some you know traction today

00:32:33.840 well i'd care about that because that's today i don't care about the dead ones i also don't care

00:32:40.080 what happened in the middle east before october 7th and you can't make me care you can try i don't

00:32:49.520 care i don't care i can tell you that israel certainly has to do what they need to do because

00:32:56.560 of october 7th that's easy that one's you know straight forward but before that are you gonna

00:33:04.240 get me to say who was the worst oh but but 500 years ago this side was the worst but but 600 years

00:33:12.080 ago this side was the worst in a thousand years ago we used to live there i don't give a fuck i care 0.95

00:33:19.440 that one side has a big army so they can protect the land that they say is theirs

00:33:26.560 the reality of israel is if they have a military and enough military support well i guess it's their

00:33:31.920 land i don't care what happened 3 000 years ago anyway uh you can care but stop trying to make me

00:33:40.800 care because it won't work um i'd like to give a shout out just because i think it's good form um i've

00:33:49.040 tried to teach you this many times if you can't say something good about the people who are on the

00:33:55.120 other side of the debate then maybe you're not being as objective as you think you are

00:34:01.200 so as just sort of a good hygiene for my brain if i see somebody on the opposite side from my opinion

00:34:10.320 who is doing something worthy i'd like to call it out and um i think i've made as much fun of john

00:34:18.000 fetterman as anybody in the public domain but he's apparently wants to be very tough on immigration laws

00:34:28.160 and i'm sorry i gotta say i really respect that because it's easy to be a republican and say you

00:34:36.960 agree with the republicans it's tough to be john fetterman with everything he's gone through

00:34:42.880 you know that the heat that he had on him especially with his health situation and to get to the end of

00:34:48.480 that and start to you know function the way he'd like to or closer to it and to disagree with your party

00:34:54.640 on something so basic but his disagreement is based on being a reasonable person in the real world

00:35:01.840 and i can totally support a reasonable person in the real world so fetterman with uh with no but

00:35:15.840 good job good job i might have other criticism later but i don't want to do the i disagree with

00:35:23.680 you on these other things let me just say good job on this all right uh well still watching uh the the

00:35:34.320 trump thanos threat thanos being the marvel superhero uh villain who could snap his fingers once his

00:35:43.120 bejeweled glove had all of the jewels in it he would snap his fingers and half of all the people on earth

00:35:48.480 would die so here's what i don't understand about the democrats on one hand they're very afraid that

00:35:57.200 trump will get into office and half the people in the country will die or the world i guess

00:36:03.840 on the other hand that would solve climate change am i right turns out there's only one politician who has

00:36:11.360 an actual solution to climate change trump according to democrats he will snap his bejeweled glove and

00:36:19.120 half of the world will die instantly then no problem you can have all the energy you need

00:36:27.440 so i think they're not looking on the good side of this whole trump is thanos stuff but i would

00:36:32.800 encourage you to keep mocking it yeah don't argue it mock it yeah that's right he's thanos

00:36:41.360 gonna kill everybody snapping his blood finger just like he did the first time he was president

00:36:48.320 you remember that right when half of the people died i'm pretty sure every democrat said that was

00:36:53.120 going to happen so i guess they did meanwhile rudy giuliani lost in court so i guess the two georgia

00:37:02.960 election workers remember one of them named ruby and many of you said uh incorrectly it turns out

00:37:11.360 there's a video of ruby cheating with these ballots and pulling them out from underneath that table 0.96

00:37:17.440 and running them through the counting machine twice and you can see it right on the video you said

00:37:25.680 and i said i don't see it and you said it's right there it's right in front of you and then i watched it and i said

00:37:33.360 why don't i see it how come i'm not seeing it and then i saw a video of election experts who knew how

00:37:41.840 things should work who watched it and they said okay that's just normal they just had some stuff they

00:37:47.840 put under the table to keep it out of the way they took it out and they finished it it's just the normal

00:37:52.560 normal stuff now apparently giuliani was not allowed to show any evidence for his side

00:38:02.080 now why would you have a a court situation where you're not allowed to show any evidence for your

00:38:08.400 side well apparently there was some information that the other side wanted from giuliani that he refused

00:38:15.200 to give him some digital records and because he was not playing well with the court the court said look

00:38:24.240 you either have to accept the process or you're guilty so he did not accept the process by giving

00:38:30.880 them the information they requested so it looks like the court said all right have it your way if

00:38:36.960 you're not going to give us the information you're guilty by almost by definition or by process

00:38:42.080 so now we're going to talk about the how much you owe and they decided that what he owed was 148

00:38:50.880 million dollars 148 million dollars does that sound anywhere in the neighborhood of a reasonable

00:39:03.600 thing because remember ruby was subjected to much harassment which is real don't make light of that that 0.97

00:39:10.240 was real and probably death threats i think she had death threats that's a serious issue but there are

00:39:18.400 very few problems that can't be solved with 148 million dollars but i also think that 14 million

00:39:25.520 dollars might have solved most of her problems as well you could have done okay with 14 million i think

00:39:31.840 so i guess that's so high because the jurors were considering like the penalty part not just

00:39:38.720 what what she would need to be whole but a penalty phase of course this will be appealed who knows 0.96

00:39:46.080 what will happen i'd be kind of surprised if some future court doesn't throw it out or at least knock

00:39:52.160 down the award but i would say that if anybody had the goods on ruby don't you think you'd know it by now

00:40:03.040 if anybody in an official capacity or let's say giuliani himself had the goods in other words

00:40:12.080 if he could produce an expert who would watch the video of ruby and say okay here's my expert don't

00:40:18.160 listen to me listen to the expert the expert says oh no you can clearly see something wrong but where's

00:40:24.080 that where where is one person who understands the process watching the video telling the rest of us

00:40:31.840 oh yeah here's where the crime was committed right here i haven't seen that so from the beginning i

00:40:38.400 thought she was probably doing just her job and was not guilty of anything remember i told you early

00:40:44.800 on that 95 of all the claims of rigging would not be true even if some of them turned to be turned out

00:40:54.400 to be true so let me ask you given that you have never seen somebody who knows what they're talking

00:41:01.040 about watch the video and point out that there's nothing wrong with it or that there is something

00:41:08.400 wrong nobody's pointing out that there is something wrong with it while they're watching the video

00:41:14.160 i haven't seen it so how many of you think that ruby is guilty of rigging the election

00:41:24.640 in the comments how many of you think she's guilty

00:41:31.040 i'm seeing mixed mixed answers yeah you know what i'm going to say right

00:41:38.400 can you anticipate what i'm going to say you know there's no legal process against her right

00:41:45.200 there is no legal process investigating ruby you know why because a cursory investigation

00:41:53.280 shows nothing was wrong you didn't even need to do a deep dive they just took a quick look at

00:41:58.480 it and said yeah this is normal and that was it now um i know you're still suspicious because it's

00:42:06.480 georgia and you're like oh maybe maybe the prosecutor's in on it who knows but let me say this about ruby 0.99

00:42:15.200 he's not the government ruby is a citizen of the united states ruby is innocent unless somebody can

00:42:25.200 prove her guilty and nobody's even tried because they got nothing ruby deserves probably an apology 1.00

00:42:34.080 from a lot of people probably right now is there some chance that you know somebody is guilty in

00:42:41.840 ways i don't know well it's always possible but the standard should be that it's it's been what two

00:42:48.720 years now how many years i'm sorry it's almost four years three years and in all that time in three

00:42:56.640 years and she's totally on video you think in three years somebody who's alleged crime is on video

00:43:05.520 and there's no there's no legal process against her that doesn't convince you that there was nothing

00:43:11.520 there does to me yeah to me it convinces me nothing was there but let me clarify to make all of you

00:43:20.560 happy let me clarify she's an american citizen she's innocent 100 unless somebody has the goods on in a 1.00

00:43:31.520 legal process and nothing like that's happening so i'm i'm team ruby 100 same with hunter hunter is

00:43:42.480 innocent until some process proves him guilty i will make no exceptions to that standard

00:43:49.920 all right um there are some claims by representative clay higgins

00:43:54.960 who is involved in grilling about the the january 6 stuff i guess he uh questions fbi director ray about

00:44:03.920 these uh federal quote ghost buses so there's an allegation which i am not buying into could be true

00:44:14.480 and it's very interesting and i'd certainly like to know more about it but remember this is an

00:44:20.080 allegation against the government so the allegation is that the government had way more undercover people

00:44:27.520 than they're admitting because they haven't admitted any number actually and that they were uh put on

00:44:33.520 these quote quote ghost buses you know it's these unlabeled buses there were so many undercovers that they

00:44:40.080 needed buses to bring them in that's the claim that is the claim bob let me take a moment

00:44:50.080 if the best you can do is to insult my critical thinking then you're a fucking idiot because i've 0.99

00:44:55.840 given you plenty of things that would allow you to say for example scott did you know the time

00:45:01.600 magazine did an investigation and they found that you're wrong like that would be a counter to what

00:45:06.880 i'm saying but scott does not have critical thinking is you being a fucking idiot and not being 0.99

00:45:12.640 able to handle the fact that you don't have any argument against anything i said so calm down bob

00:45:19.280 and fuck off okay um but anyway these ghost buses are not proven um but there are multiple witnesses 0.63

00:45:30.160 who say they saw the same thing they say that the people getting on the ghost buses were let's say

00:45:35.760 unusually fit there there are also uh there's a video or a photograph i saw where there are a number of

00:45:44.560 people in the crowd on january 6 who appear to be well trained because they have like their hands on

00:45:52.160 the shoulder of the person in front of them in the crowd you know trying to keep from being separated

00:45:57.040 and stuff and it looked it looked it looked a little too well trained some people are saying so because

00:46:02.560 this is a alleged government activity i'm going to say guilty until proven innocent right so the exact

00:46:12.160 opposite standard for ruby and for hunter for them innocent until proven guilty but if there's an

00:46:17.840 allegation of ghost buses and we don't know enough about them guilty guilty if they would like to tell

00:46:27.840 us everything they know about the ghost buses if they would like to tell us everything they know about

00:46:32.560 the number of undercover people then i say oh maybe not guilty maybe just doing your job

00:46:40.880 but if you're not going to tell us guilty doesn't mean they're guilty but that's the working

00:46:47.680 assumption when your government doesn't give you a full transparency same with the election

00:46:53.120 that i have no i no specific knowledge of something wrong with the election

00:46:56.960 but it's not transparent so i make i make the the reasonable assumption about any non-transparent

00:47:05.520 government entity or process same assumption for all all crooked

00:47:12.880 now ruby is not equal to the government she's somebody who worked there for a day 1.00

00:47:17.440 um you know just on the election that's definitely not no no more than hunter was um

00:47:27.920 the federal judge is uh warning elon musk that he has to testify at the sec

00:47:36.480 you know how many government processes are working against elon musk right now

00:47:42.560 so there's no question about it that the government has weaponized all of its departments against musk

00:47:50.000 there's no doubt that biden called for that action in public when he said they're going to look into

00:47:56.080 him in a whole variety of ways oh we have lots of ways and everybody in the government said oh

00:48:01.680 i guess you want me to investigate them i'll see what my group can do and then they did they did

00:48:08.960 now

00:48:13.360 the fact that the government is going after musk

00:48:19.040 when he's he's the most unambiguously positive force in america

00:48:23.040 today and they're going after him trying to take him down are they trying to destroy everything

00:48:28.320 that's good but try to think of anything that's good in america just anything

00:48:35.200 what is it they're not trying to destroy they meaning democrats i can't think of anything good that

00:48:42.320 they're not actively trying to destroy anything the economy the border anything

00:48:50.880 anyway um there's a company that lets you be a truck driver from your house

00:48:58.480 so it's a basically a mostly self-driving truck the company is i saw this in a post by uh linus

00:49:05.840 eckenstam the company is einride european and they already are in operation and it's a self-driving

00:49:14.800 truck but they have humans who sit in front of a monitor to make sure that no human interaction is

00:49:21.680 needed the human only gets involved in the edge cases and if the human needs to take a break uh

00:49:29.040 they just have another human who's also working remotely take over so that they're watched all the

00:49:34.240 time now would you trust a human whose job is to watch a monitor just in case there's a problem

00:49:45.280 how long can you sit and watch the road without doing anything

00:49:51.680 could you sit there for eight hours and just go yep still looks good still looks good

00:49:59.520 i think i think it'd be like those guards who were supposed to be watching epstein

00:50:03.840 you know they were asleep

00:50:07.120 that i think i would have had it like a maybe i would have had a night job if i were one of those

00:50:12.640 guards and then i would just use the daytime to sleep because what are you going to do just look

00:50:17.120 at epstein now there's epstein again still looking at him still alive there he is he's sitting on his

00:50:24.640 bed you can get real tired of looking at stuff can't you anyway i think it does give you an alert

00:50:32.720 if the truck needs your attention it does send you an alert but i don't know how much time i would

00:50:38.080 spend actually looking at the monitor i feel like i'd carry my phone around in case i got an alert and i

00:50:46.000 would just go on with my day if i got an alert i'd be like oh you're over to the left a little bit

00:50:51.840 there all right um so the uh trump lead in the polls continues pretty much every news story about a new poll

00:51:03.920 is a new commanding lead by trump everything's going in one direction only you know pro-trump but

00:51:10.800 there is some polling that suggests that the race would tighten up considerably if trump got um

00:51:19.200 convicted so if trump gets any conviction on any of his 91 counts uh the pollsters are telling us that

00:51:27.360 people might turn against them and vote for biden does that sound right to you

00:51:33.760 that to me that sounds super obviously wrong like super extra obviously wrong

00:51:46.960 are are they trying to prime people to act that way that would be almost exactly the opposite of what

00:51:53.280 would happen if you put him in jail he's going to be the president

00:51:57.760 but let me say that as clearly as i can if they put trump in jail you guarantee him the presidency

00:52:07.760 guarantee it yeah no doubt about it i'd even vote i might even vote in that case

00:52:17.920 yeah yeah make no mistake he's not going to jail

00:52:21.760 do we agree on that the the legal process might find you know that they they want to put him in jail

00:52:33.600 but let me just say this clearly

00:52:38.000 i got 80 million reasons he's not going to jail

00:52:42.240 i got 80 million reasons he's not going to jail i think it'll be scary and risky and it's always possible

00:52:49.920 it's always possible but no no no no they're there you you think democrats don't know where the line

00:52:59.040 is and i think sometimes they don't know where the line is it's because conservatives are not um

00:53:06.560 easily flustered so they they bend and bend and bend and bend and bend and bend and bend and bend and

00:53:14.800 bend and bend and bend right are you sick of it doesn't seem like the republicans just keep bending

00:53:23.920 and they just bent over too far but here's the thing that would make a democrat

00:53:33.680 be confused if the people you are let's say persuading against keep bending

00:53:39.920 you keep pushing right why wouldn't you if it keeps working keep doing it but i think the mistake

00:53:47.280 is to think that the bending is a slippery slope that just keeps bending and that is very much not

00:53:52.640 the personality of much of the country much of the country wants to ignore literally everything that

00:53:59.520 they can ignore until they can't ignore it anymore so if you put them in jail nobody can ignore that

00:54:08.320 nobody can ignore it so it can't happen

00:54:15.760 now i suppose there's a possibility that some information would come up that even a republican

00:54:21.440 would say you know that was so bad he does have to go to jail but we haven't seen that everything looks

00:54:27.360 just like weaponized department of justice it doesn't look like doesn't look like the normal

00:54:33.360 legal process is working against and it looks political so if trump goes to jail

00:54:43.120 i would feel as if i were already in jail

00:54:48.960 would you

00:54:51.840 i i feel um because he's in a sense a standard bearer for a certain sensibility in this country

00:55:00.080 if they put him in jail i would feel like i'm next

00:55:07.680 like the most of the things that happen in the news don't feel personal it's like even a war

00:55:14.160 if you don't know anybody who's in the war shooting it doesn't feel personal it's like a topic in the news

00:55:20.400 if you put trump in jail i would feel that in every part of my body

00:55:27.120 and i would clear i would clear my schedule and i would do nothing but trying to fix that

00:55:34.560 because that would be too far way too far

00:55:39.760 and part of me actually wishes it happened i don't wish him to be in jail but there are some fights you

00:55:47.600 want you know what i mean yeah ever have that feeling there are fights you want to you want to

00:55:53.600 avoid and that would be most of them you should avoid most fights but there are fights you want

00:56:00.800 there are fights you want january 6th is a fight i want

00:56:04.240 i would also suggest that we consider january 6th a holiday

00:56:16.480 anybody up for that does anybody want to celebrate january 6th as a turning point

00:56:27.200 because although we have not realized that turning point

00:56:29.840 the election of trump should it happen would be the completion of that january 6th was an op against

00:56:39.440 the american people it was a psyop meaning the way it was framed not the event itself it was clearly a

00:56:47.440 a psyop it was uh whether whether or not the uh undercover people were important to the outcome or not

00:56:54.800 i think they were but even even separate from that the way it was framed by the media and the democrats

00:57:03.520 was so illegitimate and so corrupt that it felt like a turning point to me that felt and especially

00:57:11.360 when the j6ers start going to jail as they have that's way too far that that is literally violence 1.00

00:57:20.320 violence yeah jailing people for those things you know the ones who are not violent themselves

00:57:29.280 the non-violent people are being jailed that is violence against them would you agree you put somebody

00:57:35.680 in jail that's violence that is violence i'm in favor of it if they did real crimes but it's violence

00:57:43.280 so january 6th is the point where your government became violent because your opinions

00:57:50.320 that's new that's new that's new so i think we should celebrate it as the turning point

00:58:00.320 where the left went too far you could all you could call it too far day that was the day they went too

00:58:07.600 far because i think that that the the way the january 6ers were treated is probably one of the biggest

00:58:14.720 animating forces behind people saying you know what trump might have some rough edges but all of that

00:58:24.080 am i right because i think a lot of republicans were willing to accept that trump was a flawed candidate

00:58:32.160 in all the the ways we always talk about and and their first choice was to get a nice clean candidate

00:58:39.600 they think they could support that was first choice until the january 6ers started going to jail

00:58:46.640 as soon as the january 6ers started going to jail the non-violent ones

00:58:51.840 that was too far and that made at least in my mind trump's re-election

00:58:58.160 a necessity now to be clear i'm still backing uh the fake ramaswamy and i think he'd be a better

00:59:09.440 president because he's he's younger and i think age matters uh but if he if he doesn't make the uh the

00:59:17.120 final cut um it's got to be trump it just has to be because january 6th can't go

00:59:28.160 it can't go without a response it just can't go without a response now vivek said he's gonna

00:59:35.040 you know do pardons on day one for the january 6ers who are non-violent now i'll accept that

00:59:42.080 so i'll take vivek as a solution and i'll take trump as a solution um but i don't know if the others have

00:59:50.400 said has de santis said out loud that he would pardon the the non-violent january 6ers he did i

00:59:58.000 say yes and a no but de santis is not hammering on the point though right

01:00:08.720 i'm saying no's i don't think he said no did he all right so we have a little bit of a question on

01:00:15.040 what de santis's view on that is now that's disappointing imagine de santis is running as

01:00:22.400 republican he is and we don't know if he would pardon the j6ers on day one how do we not know that 1.00

01:00:34.880 because i think he would but he hasn't said it i feel like he would have said it directly

01:00:41.120 hmm i don't know maybe he said he was open to looking at it or something like that which would

01:00:47.040 be you know a fair political thing to say interesting he said he would consider it i i think i think that's

01:00:56.320 probably the reason that we're not sure because he said he would consider it which is a good non-answer

01:01:02.720 all right i'm seeing a comment that's frustrating me let me say it just once so everybody here

01:01:16.480 sees it if you think vivek took money from soros and is a soros puppet do a little bit of homework

01:01:24.560 okay don't don't bring that here like that we're well beyond believing that vivek has some kind of

01:01:32.640 soros connection you should worry about right or that big pharma controls them those are just

01:01:38.800 coming from the opposition there's nothing for that there's nothing nothing now there there was some

01:01:47.440 minor connection that he's explained away if you haven't heard the explanation don't bring that here

01:01:53.760 go go do a little bit more work just google it listen to find vivek explaining

01:02:01.040 his response to those accusations right but if you haven't heard that don't don't bring that here

01:02:06.400 that's crazy shit yeah all right uh let's see what uh the idf has uh admitted that the three

01:02:17.680 hostages who were released i guess they had white flags they were waving the white flags and uh they were

01:02:23.360 killed and the idf um has taken full responsibility now i have two things to say about that it is

01:02:32.640 a tragedy of almost unspeakable dimension the fact that they were that close to being freed

01:02:38.560 so you know your brain is just crushed by the story and so let's not you know lose sight of that

01:02:47.120 but uh despite the tragedy which we're not minimizing

01:02:53.600 i have to say the fact that the idf um said they did it and didn't make an excuse for it

01:03:03.280 i got to respect that i got to respect that and it does make me more likely to believe whatever is

01:03:09.760 the next thing they tell me which is tough because in that war context i'm not really

01:03:16.080 expecting to believe anybody but wow sort of a sort of a model of how to behave i would say if you've

01:03:26.720 done something this bad and within you know fairly fairly short period of time

01:03:32.480 you say yes this was us no excuses that's pretty good i'd like to see more of that but less tragedies

01:03:45.920 well ai appears to have broken some kind of barrier we didn't think it would break so google's deep mind

01:03:52.640 which correct me on this is not a large language model right deep mind was an earlier version of ai

01:04:00.320 before the large language models do i have that right i got a yes over here i think that's right

01:04:07.600 but using deep mind in conjunction with some other ai they solved some math problems that have not been

01:04:16.800 solved before and apparently the uh see if i can do a good job of explaining this if you have

01:04:24.960 a few different types of ai so deep mind is one technology large language models another that the big one

01:04:35.360 can interact with the other ones and that it's almost like a brainstorming um system of humans

01:04:43.680 except it's two ais checking each other's work so one of them will throw on ideas and the other one

01:04:50.400 will check them and then you know recheck things and stuff so in effect this is not how the story was reported

01:04:59.040 this is my own twist on it ai just learned how to be creative

01:05:06.240 so as a creative human being who does it for a living you know i have to create lots of stuff every day in my mind

01:05:12.800 the the way i um visualize the process is uh multiple people in my head uh one of them is pitching

01:05:22.960 and then the others are evaluating pitch evaluate pitch evaluate but the pitcher is never evaluating

01:05:29.360 the pitcher is just pitching and then there's maybe another part of my brain that works out

01:05:34.720 if if it's practical right so there's one that's just how about this how about this not thinking too much

01:05:40.560 there's another one saying yes or no and and then it's working with the one that looks at things practically

01:05:47.680 so there are at least three three brains in my head working simultaneously right and i've told you that

01:05:55.360 when i did my micro lesson on uh one of those brains is the executive it's the one in charge

01:06:01.360 but if you imagine the ai could use that same model so instead of having an ai that would be like just one

01:06:12.480 part of your brain but if you're trying to reproduce human capabilities especially creativity it does make

01:06:19.920 sense to me that you would have a pitcher and a catcher you've got one coming up with ideas and one

01:06:26.000 checking the ideas and they may even be different technologies and if that doesn't work perhaps one

01:06:32.480 of them can call upon yet another one say oh two people in the room is not much of a brainstorm so

01:06:40.400 let's bring in a third ai is it possible that even though the story is about solving a math problem

01:06:48.480 what they really solved was creativity for ai now i've told you that create this is one of my famous

01:06:57.440 quotes that's on the internet all the time that creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes

01:07:04.800 and art is knowing which ones to keep have you ever heard me say that so creativity

01:07:12.400 is if i'm going to draw let's say a picture of an animal or a person if i give it two eyes and two ears

01:07:20.800 that's not that's not a mistake right it's also not art

01:07:27.120 if i gave them one eye uh maybe it's art but it's a mistake so if it's a mistake that i look at

01:07:36.160 and i go i kind of like that then it's art if you like it as well so for example dilbert

01:07:42.160 has no eyeballs and no mouth that's a mistake but can you imagine dilbert with eyeballs in the mouth

01:07:50.160 it would be different the fact that he has no eyeballs and no mouth turned out to be perfect

01:07:57.440 because he was the the voiceless employee the one who had you know he was he was blind and deaf and

01:08:04.960 you know sort of a slave to the corporation you put him like a mole you put him in so so having no

01:08:10.800 eyeballs and no mouth turned out to work and it turned out to be art commercial art but it's a

01:08:19.360 mistake so you need to be able to create ai that can make mistakes and apparently the large language

01:08:26.320 models are very mistakey they do look i asked what books i published and i had all the all the answers

01:08:34.000 were wrong so all those wrong answers were mistakes you know what books did i publish all wrong answers

01:08:41.360 but they were interesting answers that they might have even suggested a new book book title that i

01:08:47.840 haven't written yet it might have actually come up with the book i should write that i've not yet written

01:08:55.120 my mistake but if that mistake turned into a real book is it you know the brainstorming worked on me

01:09:04.000 well then it turns into art so ai has to learn how to make mistakes productively otherwise it can't be

01:09:13.760 creative you need to make lots of creative mistakes and then you analyze the creative mistakes

01:09:23.360 like you're like you're panning for gold it's like ah there's a mistake now useless there's a mistake

01:09:29.440 useless there's a mistake useless there's a mistake whoa why did that mistake make me feel something 0.53

01:09:36.640 it's a mistake it's a mistake but i felt something now you get art so this is a way bigger potential deal

01:09:48.560 than most of you think if you're wondering why i'm spending so much time on it but if ai can solve art

01:09:56.080 you can kind of do anything that's a pretty big bar and i wasn't sure i could cross it but this idea of

01:10:08.560 the multiple brains working as one brain the way a human brain does that might be the breakthrough that

01:10:14.560 that might be the logical breakthrough is it's got to be multiple entities out of struggling

01:10:19.280 all right and that ladies and gentlemen is all i have to say on today's best live stream you'll ever

01:10:30.320 see is there any uh story i forgot that is so important i i saw a story on social media

01:10:39.040 about some votes in fulton fulton county georgia that were being questioned or tossed out

01:10:45.360 but then i checked the news today and i didn't see it was that story real

01:10:55.680 do you know if that was real yeah so the the claim was 17 000 invalid ballots from the 2020 election

01:11:04.800 andrew clavin cited my hopes oh good

01:11:14.240 so some people say it's real but it's not news how could it be real and the news isn't covering

01:11:22.400 it's on social media but not in the news not in the left or the right it's not on fox news is it

01:11:28.880 so i'm gonna put a i'm gonna put a question mark on that one big question mark on that one i don't

01:11:37.520 know if that's real is it an old claim somebody says there's an old claim might be an old claim

01:11:43.840 that's why i didn't talk about it all right

01:11:49.200 uh the poor workers lied to the gpi about you and meaning the speaker mark and threatened 0.86

01:11:58.880 instead i threatened them wow oh yeah so there's a new movie called the american society of magical

01:12:05.600 negroes which suggests that the the danger in the world is white people something like that 1.00

01:12:13.440 um and as others have pointed out wait a minute if you change the ethnicities of the people in this

01:12:21.120 movie it would go from a funny uh send up to something terrible i'm gonna hold my opinion on this one

01:12:32.080 because it is intentionally a comedy and comedies can be challenging so if

01:12:43.680 here's here's what i think if it turns out it's hilarious and you watch the movie and you go okay

01:12:49.200 that's just funny then i'm not going to care what they said if it's funny if it's not funny and it

01:12:57.840 comes off as racist that's a big problem but i looked at the trailer and i thought it might be actually

01:13:05.360 funny i think i'll probably watch it so you know i'm i'm prepared to be deeply offended if it turns out

01:13:14.560 that way but i think i'm more more uh primed to think it might be just edgy and funny and um you know

01:13:24.800 worthy right it's still programming yeah but humor humor is its own category humor can influence you but

01:13:36.960 sometimes it's okay because joke's a joke but i tend to be very forgiving about humor so for example in in

01:13:45.760 the uh in the trailer for the movie it shows a scene where there's a young black guy walking through a

01:13:52.400 some party atmosphere filled with white people and he's feeling all awkward and you know and then 0.56

01:13:59.200 that's kind of the point of it is that he's awkward around the white people and i thought to myself

01:14:04.320 i could totally watch this movie because i would love to see you know a perspective i don't think

01:14:10.800 about or wouldn't you know like i never would have thought about that in exactly the way they presented

01:14:15.680 it so i thought oh that that would be interesting to to sort of see the the black version of what

01:14:25.360 we're seeing if you're not black just to see the black interpretation of the same things you're

01:14:31.040 watching but you weren't interpreting them that way to me that would be an interesting movie and if

01:14:36.320 it's funny i'm there all right so i'm gonna i'm gonna be uh open-minded on that because i think

01:14:45.360 i'm gonna agree with elon musk on this when i got cancelled elon musk to his credit and said we

01:14:53.360 shouldn't be cancelling humor now that what he wasn't supporting anything i said he was just

01:15:00.560 saying you know let's stop cancelling humor so i appreciated that so much that i'd like to keep

01:15:08.240 that as standard so he's influencing me i want to keep that standard i don't want to punish this movie

01:15:14.640 because it's a lot of black creators we're having some fun with some you know racial standards or

01:15:21.360 assumptions i say let them have their fun and see how they did and if it's funny it's funny i'll

01:15:27.200 recommend it if it's funny so that's all i got for you youtube and i will talk to you tomorrow thanks

01:15:34.240 for joining the best live stream you've ever seen today bye for now
