Dilbert gets in trouble for sending a spicy meme to Ireland, and Coleman Hughes has a new book out about race and how we treat it, and why he thinks we should be colorblind. Plus, a new interview with Zuby and me.
00:05:00.220If you want to learn how to do it, watch him do it.
00:05:02.840And I'll just call out some of the things he does.
00:05:05.260The first thing he does, and this is something I try to teach everybody, probably one of the most useful things you'll ever learn in your life.
00:05:42.040So when Coleman comes in, and you can tell that the hosts are ready to jump on him and disagree pretty vigorously, his demeanor never changed from calm and professional.
00:05:53.900And so they couldn't get out of their mode because it would look crazy because he was so calm and professional and, you know, communicated really well.
00:06:05.040So it looked like they were just like ready for the fight and he never let them.
00:06:21.260Well, but everybody, don't you know that the statistics and, you know, and people, if they don't realize them, they're not looking into it like I am.
00:06:59.680And they will let you talk as long as you let them.
00:07:03.980Also look for him not over-talking them or interrupting them.
00:07:09.200He would let them finish their thought.
00:07:10.900And then they would let him finish his thought because he, you know, set that example.
00:07:17.540So if you want to watch one person control four or five others who, I think there were four or five at the table, completely own the table.
00:07:49.060You know, I used to argue that the Second Amendment, one of its biggest benefits, besides self-protection, is that it could keep the republic from being taken over by bad people.
00:08:02.580And, you know, I never bought the, well, you'd be fighting against nukes with your guns, so you're going to lose.
00:08:10.420You know, I never thought the citizens would get nuked and stuff.
00:08:14.360I just thought there would be too much, too much guns, too many guns to actually just conquer the country.
00:08:20.660Because the real way that people would resist is go after the relatives of the bad people.
00:08:25.960Because the relatives wouldn't be protected, and people don't want to lose all their relatives.
00:08:31.440So there is a weakness in the system for the bad guys, that they can't protect all of their friends, and it's a world full of guns.
00:08:40.760So I'm modifying my opinion of that because that opinion assumes the republic still exists when that was always a fake.
00:08:48.720I think the republic ended in the 60s and was replaced with some kind of a permanent intelligence officers, ex-intelligence officers, military, Democrats, sometimes Republican kind of thing.
00:09:07.140I would go with either maybe 100 people who run the country, you know, 100 important people.
00:09:12.360And which ones are making decisions depends on what the topic is.
00:09:16.180So the ones who are the most important for the Ukraine war is a different set of people who are the most important for whatever the other thing is.
00:09:25.420But everybody's got, you know, a handful of people who are billionaires, powerful people, and they control that topic.
00:09:32.240So we're more like a hoaxocracy because the citizens are just laboring under hoaxes.
00:09:40.020They have no idea what's going on ever.
00:09:42.540And the news protects that whole situation.
00:09:46.180But the chances of losing the republic are zero because we lost it decades ago.
00:09:52.780I'm not, you know, whatever we are has been somewhat stable.
00:10:53.000Now, one of the things that people have been saying for a while is that Tesla has better training material because its cars have been scooping up images and experiences for a long time.
00:11:05.140I don't know where else they're training it.
00:11:07.060But if if Musk is willing to say in public this far ahead of time that Grok 2 will beat all the other AIs, well, first of all, how would he know that?
00:11:16.920The only way you would know that is to know if his training material was way better than other training material, I think, because otherwise you wouldn't know what's happening in the lab somewhere.
