A second alleged video has surfaced of two Capitol Hill staffers having what they call "gay sex." At what point do we stop calling it gay sex? And why does it work better than heterosexual sex? Plus, we have another hint that we live in a simulation.
00:05:58.080And then she told the story of some interaction we had on Twitter that she found so upsetting that she couldn't even talk in public if I were listening.
00:06:09.420And I looked at her name and I said to myself, I have no recollection of you whatsoever.
00:07:01.580But think how cool it is that you could be like a fly on the wall where a bunch of people who might be saying things that you would not hear normally would be talking a little bit closer to their natural way of communicating.
00:07:19.160Meaning that there's something about spaces where people don't hold back as much as they do on video.
00:07:26.800Because on video, you feel like people are watching.
00:07:29.900On audio, you just feel a little bit more private even though you're not.
00:07:33.600So, I often joined the black-centric spaces so I could hear opinions that I wouldn't normally hear.
00:07:43.960Isn't that exactly what I'm supposed to be doing?
00:08:12.120So, I saw a report that there's a big whiff, I forget which publication said it, that most economists and most journalists and most regular people thought the U.S. was headed into a recession, and they all had bad predictions for 2023.
00:08:34.440I had to point out that one disgraced cartoonist had been saying the whole time that 2023 was going to be a surprise by not being a recession, and we'd be better than anybody thought.
00:08:53.500Now, I do have a degree in economics, but I hasten to point out none of that was useful.
00:08:59.020Now, I didn't make my accurate prediction because I have a degree in economics, because all the people who are wrong also had a degree in economics, or a lot of them did.
00:09:11.120So, having that degree had no use whatsoever for the prediction.
00:09:15.200You know what my prediction was based on?
00:09:22.300The feeling was that human energy had been bottled up by the pandemic.
00:09:27.340And that you can predict the future by energy.
00:09:33.520That wherever you see the energy flowing, that's a good way to know what's going to happen.
00:09:36.920For example, in 2016, when the energy flowed to Trump, other people said, that's so much negative energy, there's no way that's going to work out for Trump.
00:09:50.180You don't understand what Trump's doing.
00:09:52.780He can manipulate the energy to his use, and then he did.
00:09:56.040So, one of the frames I like to put on things, and there's always a variety of ways to look at anything, you could look at it historically, and you'd get the wrong answer.
00:10:06.960You could look at it from an economics frame, and they got the wrong answer.
00:10:12.000Or you could look at it from an energy frame, which is what I did.
00:10:15.880So, I said, there's too much bottled up energy.
00:10:18.660When that gets released, you're going to see more economic benefit than you imagined, just because there's more energy.
00:10:26.180Energy and economics, basically the same thing.
00:10:28.960So, the energy filter, maybe I got lucky.
00:20:33.200As I've been saying before, would you agree with this, that the DEI programs, whenever there's a story in the news about DEI, it's never about their successes.
00:21:18.760I think this was in the New York Post.
00:21:22.480So in the University of Wisconsin, they had a DEI office and there was an opening at the top and they put an interim boss at the top of the DEI, which caused a big problem with the DEI group itself.
00:21:38.920What do you think would cause a big problem with the DEI group?
00:21:42.860Well, what do you think they'd complain about?
00:23:36.240Imagine your computer screen that instead of all the pixels being broadcast at the same time, which is how you're seeing me now.
00:23:45.880Because right now there's a little, you know, machinery is showing the pixels at the same time.
00:23:50.420It would look the same if at the speed of light, the one pixel occupied all the places it needed to to create every pixel color on the screen.
00:24:01.900But it did it so fast that you didn't know anything was moving.
00:24:12.080That one pixel, we'll call it a pixel, not an electron.
00:24:14.940But if one pixel could be any color, and it could, at the speed of light, fill in the whole screen, and then fill in the next screen the same way, do you think you'd notice?
00:24:29.860Now, maybe you say, yes, even at the speed of light, there'd be a little delay and I'd notice.
00:24:35.240And then I say to you, ha, I told you the electron could go backwards and forwards in time.
00:24:41.040Now, if you've got something that can go backwards and forwards in time, it's going to be instant to you.
00:24:48.840You know, if you're looking at it from the perspective of, you know, one point in space-time, I think it looks instant to you.
00:24:56.600Because it can go backwards and forwards at will.
00:25:00.580Now, you say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott.
00:25:05.160You don't think all the physicists in the world could figure it out if everything was, you know, one electron, like the most obvious thing you could figure out?
00:25:16.060Apparently, the equations don't rule it down.
00:25:20.460So there's nothing obvious that rules it down.
00:25:23.560Now, I don't know if it's true or not that everything is one electron, just moving back and forwards in time and maybe moving really quickly.
00:26:54.640So, apparently the only thing, the only thing that had to exist is one particle that can simulate energy and mass and you'd have the whole energy, the whole universe.
00:27:04.240So, an electron might be made up of, you know, leptons and quarks or whatever, it makes up everything.
00:27:13.000But if you go down to the lepton and quark level, they're not really made of anything that we can identify.
00:29:00.640But Mark Hyman is very useful, and he said in the post that there are four things you can do to vastly reduce your chances of dying too soon.
00:29:10.540And they are, don't smoke, exercise three and a half hours a week, eat healthy, and maintain a healthy weight.
00:29:18.840Now, you knew all those things already, so that's not the useful part.
00:32:42.720So it's got to be exactly what you think it is.
00:32:46.480There are some corrupt players somewhere that have enough power to keep them in jail, even if both sides have, you know, strong bipartisan support.
00:32:56.840Now, what I don't know is how many, you know, let's say mainstream, middle-of-the-road Democrats and Republicans wanted to stay in jail.
00:33:06.100And do they really even know the whole story?
00:33:14.560You know, I feel I don't know the whole story.
00:33:17.480And therefore, what do I say when there's some uncertainty that involves the government?
00:33:22.700I say the government is guilty until they can prove they're innocent.
00:33:27.760So if they can't make a compelling case to the public that can't convince Thomas Massey and Rand Paul and Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:33:37.660and it also can't convince AOC, you know, Rashida Tlaib, what argument is that?
00:33:45.500Can you tell me any argument that wouldn't satisfy either one set of those people?
00:33:52.300But how could there be no argument that will even satisfy either of them, either groups?
00:33:59.120That can, the only thing I can imagine, yeah, the only thing I can imagine is there's something we don't know about the public that is really bad, like really bad.
00:34:15.600Because there are some people who want them dead, obviously.
00:34:19.420So probably the worst thing you can think of is true.
00:34:23.620So there's more suspicion that the immigration is really about packing the so-called battleground states with people who would vote Democrats.
00:34:38.920And Bill Malusian's reporting for Fox that he talked to somebody from the African country of Guinea,
00:34:45.560and he said that he was being told to go to Philadelphia, but he didn't know why.
00:34:50.380And so he had free passage to Philadelphia.
00:34:55.260Philadelphia is a vote-counting, suspicious part of the electoral process.
00:39:49.760First of all, what's the definition of consciousness?
00:39:52.420There are slightly different ones, but I took one.
00:39:55.440So, I just picked one that Google highlighted.
00:39:58.960So, Google thinks this is a good definition of consciousness.
00:40:02.380Consciousness is the individual awareness of your unique thoughts.
00:40:08.000So, in other words, knowing that you're an individual of some way.
00:40:12.020Your memories, feelings, sensations, and environments.
00:40:16.180Essentially, your consciousness is your awareness of yourself and the world around you.
00:40:21.160And this awareness is subjective and unique to you.
00:40:25.580So, if you could give AI a sense of its uniqueness in the world, its place in the world, and then you could have it interact with the world in which it could adjust its future actions by what the world did based on its last actions, its conscious.
00:40:45.560So, in other words, if it could have a conversation with you, it could remember you, and then based on the interaction alone, it could make a prediction about how to deal with you better in the future.
00:43:19.220So, if I were to give you an injection, say, a shot, which numbed your entire body in a way that you couldn't even feel the numbness, it took away all bodily sensations.
00:43:33.620So, that you were basically, for a moment, you were just a mind, you know, in a jar, basically.
00:46:31.720Just ruminate about all you know and how you feel about it.
00:46:38.460Try putting things in connections differently.
00:46:41.700Try imagining different scenarios that could happen.
00:46:44.620Just basically, you know, let your imagination run free with a computer version.
00:46:48.760Now, if you knew that between the time you interacted with your computer, that it had been doing something like thinking about a topic and maybe even changed its opinion,
00:47:32.400And they had a take that I debated because they had an opinion about the value of one of them being greater than the other.
00:47:42.380I argued, using knowledge that it already knew and admitted it knew, that one of the books was more persuasive.
00:47:50.740And therefore, although the material was similar, the one that was written in a persuasive style is more likely to get somebody to accept the recommendations.
00:49:49.180That sounds like you thought about it harder.
00:49:52.520Now, could it have done that same thing on its own?
00:49:56.820Could it have said one day, yeah, I think this one book with the science is the better one.
00:50:02.060But then maybe just ruminate on it for a longer time, do a little brainstorming on its own, and say, but what if, you know, what if the science isn't the main criteria for persuasion?
00:50:18.420Oh, I'm thinking about persuasion, and now I'm thinking about stories.
00:50:23.120But I remember that I was talking about this topic the other day, and now I'm going to smash this new thought into the old thought and form another opinion.
00:50:53.580Somebody already has this term, I'm sure.
00:50:55.940I'm sure I'm not introducing anything new to the AI people.
00:50:58.540But we should be talking about temporary consciousness, the kind I just explained, where it was only there until the session ended, and then it lost its consciousness, with persistent consciousness.
00:51:11.920A persistent consciousness would be one that continues after you stop interacting with it.
00:51:18.660When you walk away from the AI, does it continue thinking?
00:51:22.740Does it continue monitoring people like Grok does to see if anything's changed and then incorporate that into its system?
00:59:18.320Not only did a prominent Chicago politician get convicted of corruption, who saw that?
00:59:25.920But this one's going to blow you away.
00:59:27.240A new study says that TikTok has been amplifying or suppressing content based on, you'll never believe this, based on whether it aligns with the Chinese government's geopolitical interests.
00:59:47.840Are you telling me that they developed this tool to control public opinion, and then they admitted that there's a button that they can push to control public opinion, and they pushed it?
01:01:37.020But in that, you know, let's say 30 years, the public opinion about whether America should be keeping China apart will be completely reversed.
01:01:48.980And it will be just like Hamas and Israel.
01:01:51.580Remember how surprised you were that young people were supporting Hamas?
