Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 2431 CWSA 03⧸01⧸24

00:00:00.000 Do-do-do, do-do-do-do, do-do-do, all right, looking good.

00:00:09.520 Well, welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the best thing you've ever seen.

00:00:12.660 If you'd like to take this up to levels that even April fools can't imagine,

00:00:17.440 all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker gel,

00:00:19.840 sysdine, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind,

00:00:22.380 and fill it with your favorite liquid.

00:00:24.400 I like coffee.

00:00:26.100 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure,

00:00:27.860 the dopamine to the day, the thing that makes everything better.

00:00:30.800 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now.

00:00:33.840 Go.

00:00:39.900 Well, I don't think I've seen so many holidays in my life,

00:00:43.480 all packed into two days.

00:00:46.100 We've got the Trans Day of Visibility.

00:00:49.080 We've got the Easter.

00:00:50.640 We've got the April fools, all in 48 hours.

00:00:54.400 Pretty amazing.

00:00:54.860 But let me give you some updates.

00:00:59.840 Update.

00:01:01.760 You've probably heard about those South America burglary gangs,

00:01:05.460 the gangs that are really, they're really well-equipped,

00:01:09.680 and they wait for high-end houses, and they break in.

00:01:13.200 Well, LeBron James, basketball LeBron James,

00:01:16.280 his home in L.A., was burgled by these high-end South American burglars.

00:01:21.680 But the good news is, the burglary was thwarted

00:01:25.660 because squatters had already moved into the house,

00:01:28.960 and the squatters called the police and stopped the burglars.

00:01:33.340 So the squatters stopped the burglars.

00:01:37.280 And then when the police found out that the squatters,

00:01:41.280 one of them had once posted a meme that was positive about Trump,

00:01:47.020 they were immediately arrested, the squatters were,

00:01:50.900 and taken away to, it's called January 6th Jail,

00:01:56.060 someplace called January 6th Jail.

00:01:59.220 And they're all, so they're all imprisoned.

00:02:01.940 And so LeBron got to move back into his house,

00:02:07.580 but here's the ironic part.

00:02:09.900 Before he could move back into his own house,

00:02:12.160 it was completely destroyed by climate change.

00:02:17.820 It's all true.

00:02:19.420 Every word of that is true.

00:02:23.000 Well, Tesla's self-driving software, FSD 12.3.3,

00:02:29.900 is being pumped out to people for a 30-day free trial.

00:02:35.420 Now, apparently, people are just being blown away.

00:02:39.960 Has anybody tried it yet?

00:02:41.020 Is that the new self-driving car?

00:02:45.760 No?

00:02:47.640 But I hear great things about it.

00:02:50.600 In other news, I'll give you some quick news of positive things here.

00:02:55.820 Axios says the Biden administration wants to accelerate

00:02:58.660 nuclear power creation in this country.

00:03:03.900 And part of the reason for needing more nuclear power

00:03:06.500 is not only that it is green,

00:03:09.500 but you're going to need tons and tons and tons of power for AI.

00:03:14.280 So you better get your nuclear.

00:03:16.460 You know, I can't think of any other topic

00:03:18.960 where the left and the right are in complete agreement.

00:03:21.880 Isn't that weird?

00:03:25.200 Do you remember when nuclear power was sort of a topic of disagreement

00:03:30.020 and the Democrats were like,

00:03:32.540 Oh, no, it's going to kill us all.

00:03:35.160 And the Republicans were like,

00:03:37.260 Free markets.

00:03:38.480 Let's get me some nukes.

00:03:39.820 Well, it turns out everybody's on the same side.

00:03:43.680 So that's good.

00:03:45.140 More good news.

00:03:46.720 There's another test on microdosing LSD.

00:03:50.560 And apparently it's really good for your brain.

00:03:53.800 Now, microdosing means a dose that's below the level

00:03:57.580 that you would hallucinate.

00:03:59.060 So something below the level where you don't know what's going on

00:04:04.180 actually just makes your brain more active

00:04:06.640 and it enhances the complexity of the brain,

00:04:10.660 which apparently has a whole bunch of mental health benefits.

00:04:16.440 So in theory, you could...

00:04:19.720 And then there's another story about,

00:04:23.560 is it Tennessee or Kentucky?

00:04:25.820 Which state is it that's going to ban putting drugs in lettuce?

00:04:31.000 Apparently there's a thought you can put vaccination type drugs

00:04:34.480 into lettuce and other vegetables.

00:04:39.420 Well, maybe they should put a little microdose of LSD in the lettuce

00:04:43.200 and that would cure all the batshit crazy people

00:04:46.580 who are ruining the country.

00:04:48.940 But if that doesn't work, here's another trend.

00:04:52.280 There are mental health urgent care sites for children popping up.

00:04:55.820 So the mental health of our children is so bad

00:04:58.560 that a whole industry has popped up

00:05:01.040 just to give children mental health.

00:05:03.800 I would like to make a suggestion.

00:05:07.900 Before you give your child medication and therapy and all that,

00:05:15.160 I feel like the first thing you should test

00:05:17.220 is moving them to a good environment.

00:05:21.300 You know, what if you took a kid who was having mental problems

00:05:23.820 and say, all right, here's the deal.

00:05:25.600 We're going to make you eat only healthy food.

00:05:28.920 You'll not have your phone.

00:05:31.180 And we're going to put you with other kids your age

00:05:33.460 so you'll always have some friends

00:05:34.760 and you'll meet some people

00:05:36.180 and you'll do some activities.

00:05:38.080 It'll be fun.

00:05:39.000 You're going to spend a bunch of time outdoors.

00:05:41.340 You're going to get a little exercise every day.

00:05:44.460 And then at the end of the month,

00:05:45.640 we're going to see how much mental health problems you have.

00:05:47.820 Because I'm pretty sure the mental health problems

00:05:51.720 are coming from the environment.

00:05:54.400 So I don't imagine that having these mental health

00:05:57.600 urgent care sites is going to treat the source of the problem.

00:06:04.100 So I got a real problem that we're adding medical stuff

00:06:09.720 to other stuff and maybe it doesn't make things better.

00:06:12.800 Now, some people are just going to need emergency help.

00:06:17.160 So it probably will save some lives.

00:06:20.500 But I don't know that it gets to the root cause.

00:06:23.940 Here's a statistic I saw that I can't believe is true.

00:06:28.860 There's a list of 95 food plants,

00:06:34.120 in other words, plants that process food for the United States,

00:06:37.220 that have been destroyed since Biden took office.

00:06:40.460 Is that possibly true?

00:06:43.560 That 95 different food processing plants,

00:06:46.520 from meat processing to other processing,

00:06:48.860 95 of them?

00:06:51.200 All different things like fires and various problems.

00:06:58.720 How in the world is that an accident if it's true?

00:07:01.600 So I guess my first question is, is that true?

00:07:05.220 And is it normal?

00:07:07.520 Maybe we have so many food processing plants,

00:07:10.480 because, you know, it's a big country.

00:07:11.560 Maybe 95 is just, you know, 2% of our plants.

00:07:17.440 If it's only 2%, it's probably just a normal year.

00:07:21.760 If it's, you know, half of all of our food processing plants,

00:07:27.280 we have a real big problem.

00:07:31.080 Scott lives under a rock.

00:07:33.000 Fuck you.

00:07:33.720 Fuck you.

00:07:36.320 Fuck you.

00:07:38.600 All caps guy.

00:07:42.100 Now, I've been, I do follow the news,

00:07:44.520 and I am aware that many meat processing plants were destroyed during the pandemic,

00:07:49.780 et cetera.

00:07:50.000 So I knew that it was happening.

00:07:52.960 What I don't know, and you still don't know,

00:07:55.280 you fucking asshole,

00:07:57.120 put it in the comments.

00:07:58.260 Why don't you show me how much you know?

00:08:00.160 What percent of the food processing plants does this represent?

00:08:05.980 Because otherwise, you've fallen for the idiot trap.

00:08:09.720 The idiot trap is somebody tells you the number without the percentage, right?

00:08:14.820 Did you fall for the idiot trap where you heard the number but not the percentage?

00:08:19.620 Looks like you did.

00:08:21.380 All caps, fucking asshole.

00:08:22.860 Well, so come back to me with what percentage of the food that is,

00:08:30.520 and then we'll talk about whether it's a big problem, okay?

00:08:33.820 But all this, Scott has been hiding under a rock.

00:08:37.860 He's just finding out.

00:08:39.740 Scott is just waking up.

00:08:42.080 God, you're stupid.

00:08:45.260 All right.

00:08:48.800 Gavin Newsom is going to roll out a 500 surveillance camera.

00:08:52.860 I was in Oakland to help battle the crime there.

00:08:56.940 Now, here's a prediction I made in my book,

00:08:59.120 The Dilbert Future, back in the 90s.

00:09:02.180 I said that crime would someday be impossible

00:09:05.740 because we would just detect all the crimes.

00:09:08.800 So there would be no point in committing them.

00:09:11.820 And I also said it would be because cameras would be everywhere.

00:09:16.040 You could pretty much anticipate that the cost of surveillance would go down,

00:09:20.680 the practicality of it would go up.

00:09:23.580 As crime went up, we would add more cameras.

00:09:26.700 But here's the part of the prediction that hasn't happened,

00:09:30.840 but I'm pretty sure it will.

00:09:34.800 Every interior space is going to have a camera,

00:09:37.880 except maybe bathrooms.

00:09:39.020 Every interior space will have a camera.

00:09:42.940 But it'll be encrypted.

00:09:45.800 So if somebody stole your camera,

00:09:48.400 they couldn't see what happened in the room,

00:09:50.140 including the government.

00:09:51.860 Even the government wouldn't be able to crack the encryption.

00:09:55.800 So the fact that the camera is recording everything,

00:09:58.660 you'd still have all your privacy.

00:10:00.120 The exception would be if there's a court order.

00:10:06.640 So let's say somebody gets murdered in a room.

00:10:09.780 That would be the one case that the police could say,

00:10:12.380 all right, you have to unencrypt that camera

00:10:14.320 between these hours and these hours.

00:10:16.860 And then the homeowner can unencrypt it

00:10:20.720 because they would have the key.

00:10:23.060 Now you might say to yourself,

00:10:24.700 Scott, I hate that.

00:10:25.920 I hate that with a passion.

00:10:27.300 It will be abused.

00:10:28.120 Yes, it would be.

00:10:29.900 I'm not saying it's a good idea.

00:10:32.080 It's a prediction.

00:10:34.060 Prediction is not that it's good or bad.

00:10:36.720 It's just going to happen.

00:10:38.200 Because whenever a technology can be used,

00:10:42.180 it will be.

00:10:43.660 If it's possible,

00:10:45.520 and it looks like somebody is going to think it's a good idea,

00:10:48.280 there'll be plenty of it.

00:10:50.780 People might be quite willingly putting them

00:10:53.500 in their own house to keep them safer.

00:10:58.120 I mean, most of the sex crimes happen in rooms, right?

00:11:03.280 Almost all sex crimes happen inside, indoors.

00:11:07.860 You would almost get rid of them.

00:11:09.740 All right.

00:11:10.900 There's a report that people are moving out of Florida

00:11:13.220 because they weren't so happy after they moved there

00:11:15.360 during the pandemic.

00:11:17.140 So a lot of pandemic people moved down there and said,

00:11:19.480 oh, I'll go to where there's freedom.

00:11:21.620 And now, I guess half a million of them have decided,

00:11:25.300 yeah, not so much.

00:11:26.880 The complaints they have are that, let's see,

00:11:29.620 homeowners insurance rates have gone up 40% since last year.

00:11:34.920 Wow.

00:11:35.780 $6,000 a year just for home insurance.

00:11:38.400 That's, of course, because of the environmental risks.

00:11:44.200 Car insurance is more than 50% or higher

00:11:46.840 than the national average.

00:11:48.240 Why is that?

00:11:48.960 Why would car insurance cost more in Florida?

00:11:55.640 Why does that make sense?

00:11:57.460 Does anybody know why that makes sense?

00:11:59.600 I don't.

00:12:02.360 And apparently, it's one of the more expensive states

00:12:06.220 to buy a home now.

00:12:08.100 The price is up 60% since 2020.

00:12:11.280 What?

00:12:12.160 It went up 60% since 2020?

00:12:15.740 Holy cow.

00:12:17.320 Now, I think the Florida story is a fake out.

00:12:22.200 I think it's just an anti-red state story.

00:12:25.460 Because here's the thing.

00:12:27.820 The people who moved because of the pandemic

00:12:30.760 moved because of the pandemic.

00:12:34.440 And then when the pandemic was over,

00:12:36.660 what would you expect to happen?

00:12:39.060 Wouldn't you expect a lot of people would say,

00:12:40.780 I moved here for the pandemic,

00:12:42.360 the pandemic's over,

00:12:43.420 and I'll go where I like the weather better?

00:12:47.040 You know?

00:12:47.420 Makes perfect sense to me.

00:12:48.800 I don't think it's necessarily a comment about Florida.

00:12:52.700 And of course, it's super hot there.

00:12:54.360 People found that out.

00:12:55.540 You know, if you've never been to Florida,

00:12:59.120 let's say you grew up in some place

00:13:01.200 that didn't have much humidity,

00:13:02.380 and somebody said,

00:13:04.040 hey, Florida's hot.

00:13:04.900 It's like sometimes 100 degrees.

00:13:07.640 And you're from California,

00:13:09.200 and you're like,

00:13:10.240 oh, it's not so bad.

00:13:12.080 Yeah, we have some days that are 100 degrees, too.

00:13:15.880 The difference is,

00:13:16.940 in California, when it's 100,

00:13:18.900 you can still walk to your car and survive.

00:13:21.520 At least you can get in your car

00:13:25.080 and drive somewhere and get out.

00:13:26.740 You can live.

00:13:28.600 If you're in Florida,

00:13:29.920 you walk out in that humidity,

00:13:31.420 you can barely make it to the car.

00:13:35.340 Have you ever seen my impression

00:13:37.280 of somebody walking outdoors in Florida

00:13:39.200 during the summer?

00:13:41.640 All right, let me give you my impression

00:13:43.100 of a Californian walking out in the summer.

00:13:46.720 All right, it's 100 degrees.

00:13:51.520 Oh, phew.

00:13:54.440 That's California.

00:13:56.400 Here's a Floridian walking outside.

00:14:00.300 Oh, God.

00:14:03.220 Oh, oh, oh.

00:14:05.900 All right, it's different.

00:14:06.920 I'm just saying it's different.

00:14:12.880 So stop asking me

00:14:14.240 if I'm moving from California.

00:14:16.740 You're going to have to raise my rates,

00:14:18.400 my tax rates, a lot more than that.

00:14:21.520 All right, there's a documentary

00:14:23.620 called Climate, the movie.

00:14:27.800 And some say it obliterates the climate scam.

00:14:30.700 And it's being shadow banned on YouTube.

00:14:33.100 And filmmaker Martin Durkin

00:14:35.100 has really brought the goods.

00:14:38.680 That's what people say.

00:14:40.380 Has anybody seen it?

00:14:41.580 I haven't seen it.

00:14:44.320 Yeah.

00:14:45.420 Well, I warn you of something

00:14:48.400 called the documentary effect.

00:14:50.020 And the documentary effect

00:14:53.260 is not only things you don't like.

00:14:55.940 It's also things that agree

00:14:57.360 with your opinion.

00:15:01.120 Just because something is super,

00:15:03.280 super persuasive in a documentary,

00:15:06.120 what did that tell you?

00:15:08.660 Let's say you go to a documentary

00:15:10.280 and it tells you something

00:15:11.580 maybe that's different

00:15:12.500 from what you've heard.

00:15:13.700 And it's really got the receipts.

00:15:16.980 I mean, there's witnesses,

00:15:19.360 there's science,

00:15:20.260 there's studies,

00:15:20.860 and they really bring it.

00:15:23.660 When you're done,

00:15:24.780 what have you learned?

00:15:27.620 What have you learned from the document?

00:15:29.160 Any documentary,

00:15:30.120 doesn't matter what it is.

00:15:31.040 What have you learned

00:15:31.680 from the documentary

00:15:32.480 when it's over?

00:15:34.540 There's only one thing you can learn.

00:15:37.900 Documentaries are persuasive.

00:15:40.020 That's it.

00:15:41.560 There's no other thing

00:15:42.520 you can learn from a documentary.

00:15:44.240 Because a documentary

00:15:45.320 is not credible by its nature.

00:15:48.860 You can only learn

00:15:50.040 that it felt persuasive.

00:15:52.260 That's it.

00:15:53.340 There is nothing else you can find.

00:15:55.380 Because all documentaries

00:15:56.760 are persuasive,

00:15:57.980 otherwise you would never

00:15:58.840 get to see it.

00:16:00.240 If it were not persuasive,

00:16:03.440 nobody would even mention it.

00:16:06.520 You never would have heard of it.

00:16:07.960 So by the time

00:16:09.140 you've heard of it,

00:16:10.480 it means it's persuasive.

00:16:11.920 It does not mean

00:16:13.060 any of it's true.

00:16:15.080 And I always use

00:16:16.600 the competing

00:16:17.260 Michael Jackson documentaries.

00:16:19.880 They're both really persuasive.

00:16:21.940 They say opposite things.

00:16:23.780 So what are you left with?

00:16:25.240 The only thing you're left with

00:16:26.660 is, wow,

00:16:27.180 documentaries are persuasive.

00:16:28.740 You don't learn anything else.

00:16:31.460 In my opinion,

00:16:32.720 climate alarm is overdone,

00:16:35.100 and I'm not a believer

00:16:36.740 of the climate change narrative.

00:16:40.020 Completely.

00:16:41.380 Not completely.

00:16:44.800 And it's entirely possible

00:16:46.660 that everything in the documentary

00:16:47.940 is true

00:16:48.520 and it captures

00:16:49.360 the situation perfectly.

00:16:51.320 That's possible.

00:16:52.300 But you would have

00:16:52.940 no way of knowing.

00:16:54.400 So you as a viewer

00:16:55.720 only know that you're persuaded.

00:16:57.780 You don't know

00:16:59.120 anything else.

00:17:00.580 Just be careful of that.

00:17:01.600 I was having a little

00:17:04.700 free will

00:17:05.660 conversation online today,

00:17:08.160 as I often know.

00:17:09.500 And Leo 300,

00:17:10.720 who's a user,

00:17:12.520 says that free will

00:17:13.480 is my Achilles heel.

00:17:15.740 It's my Achilles heel.

00:17:16.560 It's the thing I get wrong

00:17:17.520 that I don't understand

00:17:18.640 free will, he says.

00:17:20.440 Which is an odd way

00:17:21.480 to say I'm right,

00:17:22.440 but

00:17:22.600 I just want to clarify something.

00:17:27.160 I'm very much

00:17:29.280 in favor of people

00:17:30.220 pretending free will

00:17:31.460 is real.

00:17:34.440 Because

00:17:34.920 that's always work.

00:17:37.820 So we have,

00:17:38.940 you know,

00:17:39.120 300,000 years

00:17:40.180 of pretending

00:17:40.860 free will is a thing.

00:17:42.360 And it allows us

00:17:43.480 to create laws

00:17:44.400 that we agree with

00:17:45.300 and punish people

00:17:46.100 who do bad things.

00:17:47.280 And, you know,

00:17:47.960 it gives us tools.

00:17:49.740 So as long as it works,

00:17:51.300 keep doing it.

00:17:52.000 But it is nonsense.

00:17:54.300 All right.

00:17:54.660 You're all familiar

00:17:58.600 with the double slit

00:17:59.480 experiment, right?

00:18:03.280 Then let me teach you

00:18:04.320 another thing

00:18:04.880 about persuasion.

00:18:06.500 I'll review what that is

00:18:08.340 before I go on.

00:18:10.940 Here's a lesson

00:18:13.200 on persuasion.

00:18:14.700 You can't persuade people

00:18:16.420 of anything

00:18:17.060 until they're ready.

00:18:20.280 And what makes a person

00:18:22.180 ready

00:18:22.600 is all the other things

00:18:24.580 in the environment.

00:18:26.500 So you have to have

00:18:27.460 an environment

00:18:28.140 that supports

00:18:29.440 the new understanding

00:18:30.540 or else people

00:18:31.540 will look at all

00:18:32.180 the other things

00:18:32.840 in the environment

00:18:33.440 and say,

00:18:33.860 hmm, maybe not.

00:18:35.860 So you can only persuade

00:18:37.760 when the timing

00:18:39.540 is right.

00:18:42.680 And the timing

00:18:43.660 is right.

00:18:47.240 For you to understand

00:18:48.580 that we are living

00:18:49.700 in a simulation.

00:19:51.780 Now, many of you are saying,

00:19:53.560 my God, not again,

00:19:54.940 not this simulation thing.

00:19:56.660 Well, it's because

00:19:57.640 of the timing.

00:19:59.100 Because of everything

00:20:00.040 else that's happening,

00:20:01.520 I can finally convince you

00:20:03.600 that you live in a simulation

00:20:04.960 and that it's proven.

00:20:06.520 It's proven.

00:20:08.020 What would you need

00:20:09.040 to know we're a simulation?

00:20:11.260 I'll give you an example.

00:20:13.260 How many of you

00:20:13.900 would agree with this?

00:20:15.140 Suppose we could prove

00:20:16.640 that history is imaginary

00:20:19.040 and only created

00:20:21.220 when you need it.

00:20:22.520 What if we could prove that?

00:20:24.700 Would that tell you

00:20:25.620 you were in a simulation?

00:20:28.140 Because if we live

00:20:29.080 in something like

00:20:29.800 what we imagined,

00:20:31.600 then history is

00:20:32.660 how we got here

00:20:33.400 and it's all real.

00:20:35.200 I mean,

00:20:35.600 it's not real at the moment,

00:20:36.520 but it was real

00:20:37.280 at one point.

00:20:37.920 If I could convince you

00:20:39.580 that history

00:20:40.320 is created

00:20:42.060 in the present,

00:20:43.660 it's not something

00:20:44.680 that caused the present,

00:20:46.100 but if I could convince you

00:20:47.760 that the present

00:20:48.580 creates history,

00:20:50.980 wouldn't that tell you

00:20:51.760 you were in a video game?

00:20:52.920 Because that's the way

00:20:53.700 we build video games.

00:20:55.680 In a video game,

00:20:56.880 you know,

00:20:57.120 if a character suddenly appears

00:20:58.620 that had never been there,

00:21:00.660 the character has a history.

00:21:02.560 Like you imagine

00:21:03.540 the character was born

00:21:04.680 or whatever

00:21:05.100 in the simulation,

00:21:06.340 not in the real world.

00:21:08.040 So,

00:21:09.140 if I could prove to you

00:21:10.840 that history is in fact

00:21:11.960 created on demand,

00:21:14.500 you're ready.

00:21:17.360 And that's what

00:21:17.840 the double slit experiment does.

00:21:20.280 So you get

00:21:20.800 the fast version

00:21:23.440 is you have two slits,

00:21:24.860 you put photons through it.

00:21:26.960 If nobody's watching it,

00:21:29.580 they create one pattern,

00:21:32.960 but if people are watching it,

00:21:34.340 it creates a different pattern.

00:21:36.180 So apparently,

00:21:36.740 observing it

00:21:37.700 or measuring it

00:21:38.740 in a way

00:21:39.040 that can be observed later

00:21:40.300 changes what happened.

00:21:43.460 In other words,

00:21:44.760 it changed the past.

00:21:47.480 It changed the past.

00:21:49.720 So if you can change the past

00:21:51.620 and we've confirmed it,

00:21:53.900 that means we're in a simulation.

00:21:59.000 And somebody said,

00:22:00.480 can reality exist

00:22:01.520 without an observer?

00:22:02.380 Well,

00:22:03.640 I went to Google

00:22:04.280 and I asked that.

00:22:05.540 I said,

00:22:05.960 can reality exist

00:22:07.660 within an observer?

00:22:08.660 Here's what Google said.

00:22:11.200 According to quantum physics,

00:22:12.940 it's a commonplace notion

00:22:14.760 to think that the universe

00:22:16.060 exists out there

00:22:17.720 without us,

00:22:19.380 without us there

00:22:21.280 to live in it

00:22:21.900 and observe it.

00:22:23.060 However,

00:22:23.440 in the realm

00:22:23.900 of quantum physics,

00:22:24.880 an observer-independent universe

00:22:28.940 is simply impossible.

00:22:32.520 So according to one

00:22:33.680 of the top answers

00:22:34.480 on Google,

00:22:35.840 the universe

00:22:37.080 only exists

00:22:37.900 because we observe it.

00:22:38.980 and the parts

00:22:40.880 we haven't observed

00:22:41.600 don't exist.

00:22:45.780 Yeah,

00:22:46.360 we're a simulation.

00:22:47.820 There's really

00:22:48.500 no question about it.

00:22:50.020 We're absolutely

00:22:51.100 a simulation.

00:22:52.660 Now,

00:22:53.220 how do you explain

00:22:54.060 the fact that we seem

00:22:54.900 to be living

00:22:55.460 in different simulations?

00:22:58.440 Because we're a simulation.

00:23:00.200 So the simulation

00:23:01.260 you're living in

00:23:02.020 doesn't even need

00:23:02.620 to be the same as mine.

00:23:04.000 So you can live

00:23:04.920 in a simulation

00:23:05.600 where Trump is Hiller

00:23:07.740 and I can live

00:23:09.060 in one

00:23:09.400 where he's just funny.

00:23:11.380 And there's no

00:23:12.200 conflict

00:23:13.020 unless we're talking

00:23:14.680 to each other

00:23:15.200 and we decide

00:23:16.160 the other one

00:23:16.580 needs to be in jail

00:23:17.320 or something.

00:23:18.580 But otherwise,

00:23:19.200 we go on

00:23:20.300 with our life

00:23:20.820 with our completely

00:23:21.600 different versions

00:23:22.440 of reality

00:23:23.060 and it almost

00:23:24.500 never matters

00:23:25.340 until it's

00:23:27.120 some political thing

00:23:27.980 and then we notice

00:23:29.520 that we're not living

00:23:30.320 in the same reality.

00:23:32.560 How about

00:23:33.100 the Fermi paradox?

00:23:34.980 You know

00:23:35.220 the Fermi paradox?

00:23:37.740 A scientist

00:23:38.700 named Fermi

00:23:39.380 said if there's

00:23:40.780 so many aliens

00:23:42.000 in the universe

00:23:42.680 where are they all?

00:23:44.140 Where are all the aliens?

00:23:45.760 In theory

00:23:46.280 there should be

00:23:46.740 plenty of aliens

00:23:47.500 because space is so big

00:23:48.840 and we can see

00:23:49.540 a lot of it.

00:23:51.400 And the answers

00:23:52.660 that they give

00:23:53.340 are like this.

00:23:55.500 Maybe life

00:23:56.580 is so rare

00:23:57.320 that it only

00:23:57.900 flashes into existence

00:23:59.960 for a million years

00:24:01.520 and goes away.

00:24:02.640 So it's just so rare.

00:24:04.500 There's a reason

00:24:05.220 we don't see it.

00:24:05.880 Maybe it's because

00:24:07.660 there aren't many

00:24:09.460 planets that can

00:24:10.300 support life.

00:24:11.940 Maybe it's because

00:24:12.940 it's hard for us

00:24:14.780 to see them.

00:24:16.840 They're just too far away.

00:24:18.740 Maybe they're hiding.

00:24:20.260 So these are the answers

00:24:21.140 that people give

00:24:21.840 to why we haven't

00:24:22.720 seen any aliens.

00:24:23.980 Let me give the

00:24:24.780 more obvious

00:24:25.740 simple

00:24:26.900 clear answer.

00:24:29.500 We're a simulation.

00:24:31.400 We're a simulation

00:24:32.440 of the planet Earth.

00:24:33.760 There is nothing else.

00:24:36.960 There doesn't need

00:24:37.920 to be anything else.

00:24:39.640 Our simulation

00:24:40.440 requires nobody else

00:24:41.880 just like a video game.

00:24:43.840 If you buy a video game

00:24:45.380 that's, you know,

00:24:46.800 let's say a battle

00:24:47.660 on an island,

00:24:49.080 the video game

00:24:49.880 did not create

00:24:51.040 the rest of the world.

00:24:52.500 It just traps you

00:24:53.520 on the island

00:24:54.060 so you think

00:24:54.640 that's all there is.

00:24:56.820 Have you noticed

00:24:57.480 that we can't go

00:24:58.100 to the edge

00:24:58.480 of the universe?

00:25:00.140 You know,

00:25:00.400 speed light problems

00:25:01.460 and all that.

00:25:03.200 All you have to do

00:25:04.020 is prevent people

00:25:04.800 from seeing outside

00:25:05.700 the realm of things

00:25:06.740 that are created

00:25:07.400 and they'll think

00:25:08.400 they've seen everything

00:25:09.200 because they can't imagine

00:25:10.900 what's on the other side.

00:25:12.240 So no,

00:25:12.620 the Fermi paradox,

00:25:13.740 the quantum physics,

00:25:16.080 the double-slit experiment,

00:25:18.660 and every other observation

00:25:20.460 is pretty clear

00:25:22.320 at this point

00:25:22.920 that we're a simulation.

00:25:23.840 Now,

00:25:26.400 why do I say

00:25:27.820 that this is the time?

00:25:29.600 The reason that

00:25:30.620 this is the time

00:25:31.620 to tell you this

00:25:32.520 is that you've observed

00:25:34.360 that you don't live

00:25:35.900 in an objective reality.

00:25:38.080 We now see

00:25:39.220 through politics

00:25:40.000 and largely

00:25:41.080 through Trump's

00:25:42.000 introduction into politics

00:25:43.180 that everything is fake.

00:25:45.840 We can see

00:25:46.620 that all of our history

00:25:47.760 is imaginary.

00:25:49.460 It's just somebody

00:25:50.320 wrote a book

00:25:51.160 and you believed it

00:25:52.240 and it became part

00:25:52.860 of a course.

00:25:54.240 Maybe some of the names

00:25:55.180 and dates are true,

00:25:56.300 but largely history

00:25:58.160 is made up.

00:25:59.260 If you don't think

00:26:00.000 history is made up,

00:26:01.820 how do you think

00:26:03.100 they're going to write

00:26:03.540 the history

00:26:03.940 of the last five years?

00:26:05.920 We don't agree.

00:26:07.220 We don't agree

00:26:07.880 on the most basic facts.

00:26:12.060 Was there an insurrection

00:26:13.280 on January 6th?

00:26:14.840 We don't agree.

00:26:16.860 Did Osama bin Laden

00:26:18.740 take down the Twin Towers?

00:26:22.120 Well,

00:26:22.340 that's the official story.

00:26:25.800 If you go into

00:26:26.600 the real world,

00:26:27.640 you're going to find

00:26:28.160 a lot of people

00:26:28.800 who don't agree

00:26:29.400 with the official story.

00:26:31.020 I don't know

00:26:32.440 what to believe there.

00:26:35.500 So the fact

00:26:36.440 that we have seen

00:26:37.280 that everything

00:26:37.780 we thought we were

00:26:38.660 sure about is fake,

00:26:40.000 we've seen that

00:26:40.740 all the scientists

00:26:41.580 are bought off

00:26:42.460 and not credible,

00:26:44.040 we've seen that

00:26:44.640 100% of our institutions

00:26:46.340 are fake,

00:26:47.720 we see that the government

00:26:48.700 is trying to tell us

00:26:49.640 that aliens are

00:26:50.420 in a warehouse somewhere

00:26:51.320 and we know

00:26:51.780 that's not true.

00:26:54.400 We're in a simulation.

00:26:56.600 It's obvious.

00:26:58.800 All right.

00:27:01.840 And we ignore

00:27:02.700 the past when it's inconvenient.

00:27:04.720 Brandon Strzok

00:27:05.500 likes to remind us,

00:27:06.880 he was one of the

00:27:07.920 January 6th people

00:27:08.880 who got in legal trouble.

00:27:11.420 He reminds us

00:27:12.200 in 2016,

00:27:13.000 the left

00:27:14.780 had a whole campaign

00:27:15.900 to get members

00:27:16.600 of Congress

00:27:17.040 to not certify

00:27:18.020 Trump as president.

00:27:19.600 There was a petition,

00:27:20.700 there were TV shows,

00:27:21.780 there were advertisements,

00:27:22.800 and they all acted

00:27:24.000 like it was perfectly

00:27:25.020 reasonable

00:27:25.580 to not

00:27:27.300 let Trump

00:27:28.620 become president

00:27:29.380 even though

00:27:30.200 the vote

00:27:30.720 had very clearly

00:27:31.540 elected him.

00:27:33.140 And they thought

00:27:34.000 that was perfectly

00:27:34.900 legitimate.

00:27:36.420 It was just

00:27:37.020 too much of a risk.

00:27:39.220 And yet,

00:27:39.800 only a few

00:27:42.360 short years later,

00:27:43.620 we pretend

00:27:44.640 that that history

00:27:45.460 doesn't exist.

00:27:47.220 It's only because

00:27:48.280 we remember it

00:27:49.380 that it exists.

00:27:51.220 Your history books

00:27:52.360 are going to erase

00:27:53.260 this shit.

00:27:55.120 The history books

00:27:56.080 that tell you

00:27:56.620 that January 6th

00:27:57.940 was an insurrection

00:27:58.720 are not going

00:28:00.020 to tell you

00:28:00.520 that the Democrats

00:28:01.280 did the same damn thing

00:28:02.480 the last election

00:28:03.280 because that ruins

00:28:04.580 the narrative.

00:28:05.760 So you can see

00:28:06.620 in real time

00:28:07.500 that the history books

00:28:09.200 are being faked

00:28:10.060 or you can guarantee

00:28:11.960 that they will be.

00:28:13.640 Or what?

00:28:14.960 Are you going

00:28:15.380 to teach kids

00:28:15.960 two separate histories?

00:28:17.920 Oh, here's the history

00:28:18.880 these guys say.

00:28:19.740 Here's the history.

00:28:20.460 No, they'll get

00:28:21.220 one history

00:28:21.800 and it will be

00:28:22.820 the common narrative.

00:28:26.100 So we'll ignore

00:28:27.000 the history

00:28:27.420 when it's not true.

00:28:29.840 And I like to ask

00:28:30.740 this question

00:28:31.260 every now and then

00:28:32.140 because, again,

00:28:33.440 this didn't make

00:28:34.880 as much sense

00:28:35.620 a year ago

00:28:36.260 or two years.

00:28:36.920 But after what

00:28:38.420 we've been through

00:28:39.100 and finding out

00:28:39.980 nothing is true

00:28:40.860 and everybody's

00:28:42.480 lying all the time,

00:28:43.900 I'll say it again.

00:28:47.540 What are the odds

00:28:48.520 that our election

00:28:49.340 systems in this country

00:28:50.640 are the only institutions

00:28:53.000 that are not corrupt?

00:28:55.380 Because we found out

00:28:56.520 every part of our government,

00:28:58.300 pretty much all corporations,

00:29:00.560 are just, you know,

00:29:01.320 woefully corrupt.

00:29:02.200 The news,

00:29:02.860 completely corrupt.

00:29:03.720 But why do we believe

00:29:06.160 that the elections

00:29:07.080 are the only exceptions?

00:29:09.580 And we actually

00:29:10.300 tell each other,

00:29:11.920 oh, yeah,

00:29:12.460 the elections are good.

00:29:13.780 The only thing?

00:29:15.160 We know the financial world

00:29:16.780 is completely corrupt.

00:29:18.920 Everything else is corrupt.

00:29:20.820 You know,

00:29:21.000 look at the war in Ukraine.

00:29:22.220 Do you think you get

00:29:22.940 the right story about that?

00:29:24.620 No, it's all corrupt.

00:29:26.360 How about Joe Biden?

00:29:27.340 All corrupt.

00:29:28.460 Right?

00:29:28.980 So lawfare against Trump?

00:29:30.480 All corrupt.

00:29:30.980 So everything from the DOJ

00:29:33.420 to the FBI

00:29:34.240 to the CDC

00:29:35.420 to the FDA

00:29:37.120 to Congress,

00:29:39.240 all corrupt.

00:29:41.160 But you can look me

00:29:42.360 in the face

00:29:42.900 and tell me

00:29:43.420 that the elections

00:29:44.200 are completely good

00:29:46.680 because the courts

00:29:48.460 didn't find a problem.

00:29:50.620 The courts didn't find

00:29:51.960 a problem with OJ,

00:29:54.220 at least in a criminal sense.

00:29:56.920 The criminal courts

00:29:58.320 said OJ was innocent.

00:29:59.460 So I guess he's innocent

00:30:01.040 of the crime.

00:30:04.920 Now let me ask you this.

00:30:06.860 We were told recently

00:30:07.860 that China has already

00:30:08.860 penetrated most of our

00:30:10.180 infrastructure in this country

00:30:11.480 and all they have to do

00:30:12.660 is push a button

00:30:13.360 and they can turn off

00:30:14.320 our water and power

00:30:15.320 and emergency services.

00:30:18.080 Do you think that's true?

00:30:19.700 Your government told you

00:30:20.820 it's true.

00:30:21.920 Is it true?

00:30:22.600 China's already hacked

00:30:23.480 into everything.

00:30:24.080 They can just turn us off.

00:30:25.040 Well, why is China

00:30:27.600 so good at hacking

00:30:28.640 into all that basic

00:30:30.020 highly secure infrastructure

00:30:32.940 but they can't get

00:30:34.400 into our elections?

00:30:35.660 What's up with that?

00:30:38.580 Is that because the elections

00:30:39.980 are unusually secure?

00:30:41.860 I don't know the details

00:30:45.840 but it seems to me

00:30:47.060 that every precinct

00:30:48.080 is responsible

00:30:49.280 for their own

00:30:50.060 election security.

00:30:51.040 Am I right?

00:30:52.680 And that there's probably

00:30:53.620 some one or two people

00:30:55.160 trained to make sure

00:30:56.580 that the machines

00:30:57.600 are secure

00:30:59.360 and that it has

00:31:01.380 current software

00:31:02.300 and that it's not unlocked

00:31:04.240 so you can't put

00:31:05.000 a thumb drive into it.

00:31:06.440 Do you think

00:31:07.560 all those people

00:31:08.880 working in all

00:31:09.680 those precincts

00:31:11.140 every one of them

00:31:11.980 they did a good job

00:31:13.340 on infrastructure

00:31:14.700 security?

00:31:16.360 Do you think

00:31:17.060 that 100%

00:31:17.780 of the people

00:31:18.280 who work for the

00:31:19.280 people who make

00:31:21.120 the machines

00:31:21.600 for voting

00:31:22.100 do you think

00:31:23.180 every one of those

00:31:24.000 persons

00:31:24.460 we know for sure

00:31:26.120 is not a spy?

00:31:27.800 No insiders?

00:31:29.620 How would you know?

00:31:30.900 How would you know?

00:31:31.720 You'd have no way to know.

00:31:35.080 So yeah

00:31:36.280 if you think

00:31:37.980 the election systems

00:31:38.880 are the only things

00:31:40.160 in America

00:31:40.660 that aren't corrupt

00:31:41.800 I don't think

00:31:44.240 I can talk to you.

00:31:46.940 If your proof

00:31:47.900 is that I don't know

00:31:48.700 of anything

00:31:49.080 specifically that's corrupt

00:31:50.460 I can't talk to you.

00:31:53.340 That's nonsense.

00:31:54.500 How would I know?

00:31:57.040 All right.

00:31:57.860 Well the one thing

00:31:58.780 I learned from the Democrats

00:31:59.700 is that nothing

00:32:00.480 can be considered true

00:32:01.640 until it's proven true

00:32:02.680 in a kangaroo court.

00:32:03.680 I saw a

00:32:07.360 I saw a news bit

00:32:10.820 that said

00:32:11.660 there's some poll

00:32:12.560 showing

00:32:12.980 I think just the news

00:32:14.620 had it

00:32:15.000 some poll

00:32:15.840 showing that

00:32:16.640 people will still

00:32:18.300 support Trump

00:32:19.040 even if he's

00:32:19.960 convicted of a crime.

00:32:21.900 Is there anybody

00:32:22.960 here who didn't

00:32:23.580 know that?

00:32:25.220 The Democrats

00:32:26.020 keep saying that

00:32:27.020 Trump will lose

00:32:27.920 support

00:32:28.380 if he is railroaded

00:32:30.420 by some lawfare

00:32:31.420 stupid crime.

00:32:32.280 who believed

00:32:34.120 that?

00:32:35.140 From the first

00:32:35.900 moment I heard that

00:32:36.740 I was like

00:32:37.060 really?

00:32:38.280 Somebody believes

00:32:39.140 that he'll become

00:32:39.720 less popular

00:32:40.780 if he gets

00:32:42.060 lawfare into jail.

00:32:44.260 No.

00:32:45.840 That's not the way

00:32:46.800 anything works.

00:32:48.080 If you lawfare

00:32:49.000 him into jail

00:32:49.820 he could be

00:32:52.700 a dictator.

00:32:54.500 I mean it could

00:32:54.960 give him so much

00:32:55.620 power he could

00:32:56.240 just

00:32:56.540 he could actually

00:32:57.740 become the dictator

00:32:58.640 they fear.

00:32:59.580 If you want him

00:33:00.380 to become a dictator

00:33:01.260 put him in jail.

00:33:02.280 If you want to

00:33:04.260 have something

00:33:04.900 like you know

00:33:06.400 some kind of

00:33:07.120 real government

00:33:08.520 don't.

00:33:11.980 But don't be

00:33:12.800 surprised if he

00:33:13.460 gets more popular

00:33:14.200 if he gets

00:33:14.640 convicted.

00:33:18.620 Harvard

00:33:19.260 applications have

00:33:20.960 dropped.

00:33:22.780 So I saw the

00:33:24.180 word plummet

00:33:24.900 used.

00:33:25.740 So far fewer

00:33:27.120 applications.

00:33:29.140 Now I assume

00:33:29.640 that's because of

00:33:30.240 the anti-semitism

00:33:31.360 but also probably

00:33:32.260 because of the

00:33:32.820 wokeness in

00:33:34.080 general.

00:33:35.320 And here's the

00:33:35.860 good news.

00:33:36.380 Harvard is on

00:33:37.100 track to be as

00:33:38.660 diverse as the

00:33:39.740 HBCs.

00:33:41.640 The HBCs.

00:33:42.580 Yeah.

00:33:42.920 The historically

00:33:43.560 black colleges.

00:33:45.440 But Harvard is on

00:33:46.280 track to equal

00:33:47.460 their diversity.

00:33:48.360 So good job

00:33:48.920 Harvard.

00:33:51.800 And so

00:33:52.740 and so is the

00:33:53.680 military.

00:33:54.580 Turns out that

00:33:55.260 white people have

00:33:55.980 stopped joining the

00:33:56.960 military because the

00:33:58.220 military doesn't

00:33:58.980 like white people

00:33:59.760 and won't give

00:34:01.300 them the same

00:34:01.800 opportunity.

00:34:02.660 So they stopped

00:34:03.500 joining.

00:34:05.240 But the good

00:34:06.120 news is that the

00:34:07.040 military also

00:34:07.760 lowered their

00:34:08.780 intelligence bar

00:34:11.500 so they can get

00:34:12.860 the number of

00:34:13.380 people.

00:34:13.860 It will just be

00:34:14.700 less intelligent.

00:34:16.760 So we'll have a

00:34:18.120 very diverse

00:34:18.760 military and

00:34:19.660 Harvard's looking

00:34:20.420 good too.

00:34:21.240 So good going

00:34:22.300 guys.

00:34:23.500 Good work on the

00:34:24.440 diversity.

00:34:24.840 Let's see.

00:34:31.640 So there's a

00:34:32.800 mass brainwashing

00:34:34.960 operation that's

00:34:36.040 going into effect

00:34:37.620 that involves some

00:34:39.820 video games for

00:34:41.300 local schools.

00:34:43.040 So your friendly

00:34:43.800 government is giving

00:34:44.860 away these video

00:34:46.220 games to help

00:34:48.100 children find

00:34:49.140 disinformation.

00:34:49.940 So as

00:34:53.540 Mike Benz

00:34:54.200 accurately calls

00:34:55.600 them, these are

00:34:56.860 nudge-based

00:34:58.240 psychology

00:34:59.160 manipulating video

00:35:00.400 games.

00:35:01.400 Nudge meaning

00:35:02.360 it's not right on

00:35:03.460 the nose.

00:35:04.580 They're not saying

00:35:05.240 kids don't believe

00:35:06.920 Donald Trump.

00:35:08.340 But that's what

00:35:09.400 they're saying.

00:35:11.480 It's to nudge

00:35:12.660 them into thinking

00:35:14.380 they made up their

00:35:15.140 own mind about

00:35:16.700 what they can

00:35:17.240 trust.

00:35:17.640 Do you think

00:35:18.960 that any truth

00:35:19.980 is being told to

00:35:20.840 these children?

00:35:22.160 Do you think

00:35:23.240 that the video

00:35:24.160 game tells the

00:35:24.940 kids that the

00:35:25.640 news is completely

00:35:26.680 fake and has

00:35:27.920 been for decades?

00:35:29.280 Do you think

00:35:29.740 that the video

00:35:30.220 games tell them

00:35:30.940 that the republic

00:35:31.840 ended probably in

00:35:32.740 the 60s?

00:35:33.940 Of course not.

00:35:35.740 It's pure

00:35:37.340 brainwashing.

00:35:38.740 Now I'm in

00:35:39.560 favor of

00:35:39.980 brainwashing

00:35:40.500 children because

00:35:42.720 the alternative is

00:35:43.580 way worse.

00:35:44.380 They become wild

00:35:45.360 animals or

00:35:46.040 something.

00:35:46.260 So you got to

00:35:47.620 do a little

00:35:47.940 brainwashing.

00:35:49.280 But I wouldn't

00:35:49.940 brainwash them

00:35:50.580 this way.

00:35:53.660 Mark Andreessen

00:35:54.580 is saying that

00:35:55.440 in a post,

00:35:56.900 everything you

00:35:57.500 read makes sense

00:35:58.320 if you simply

00:35:58.980 translate experts

00:36:00.160 as crazy people.

00:36:02.440 Have you seen

00:36:04.160 that the frame

00:36:05.120 of crazy people

00:36:07.080 or as I like

00:36:08.600 to say,

00:36:09.140 batshit crazy

00:36:10.060 people is

00:36:11.360 becoming far

00:36:12.660 more verbally

00:36:14.320 noticed?

00:36:16.240 In other words,

00:36:16.860 people are saying

00:36:17.480 out loud,

00:36:18.300 wait a minute,

00:36:19.420 I'm not sure

00:36:20.320 this is a

00:36:20.840 political

00:36:21.180 disagreement.

00:36:22.580 This looks like

00:36:23.640 somebody's got a

00:36:24.520 huge mental

00:36:25.180 problem and

00:36:26.900 they're acting

00:36:27.700 like it's

00:36:28.240 something about

00:36:28.740 politics.

00:36:30.060 So we do

00:36:31.080 have to,

00:36:31.880 we have to

00:36:32.980 stop treating

00:36:33.720 mental illness

00:36:34.600 like a difference

00:36:35.920 of opinion.

00:36:36.960 It's not.

00:36:38.540 It's not.

00:36:39.740 It's just

00:36:40.400 mental illness.

00:36:41.140 And if

00:36:42.740 we're divided,

00:36:44.680 you know,

00:36:44.860 look how divided

00:36:45.600 we are as a

00:36:46.260 country.

00:36:46.780 Seems like the

00:36:47.380 most divided.

00:36:48.580 We're also

00:36:49.580 the most

00:36:50.640 mentally ill.

00:36:53.120 I don't think

00:36:54.180 there's that much

00:36:54.780 division among

00:36:56.360 the people who

00:36:57.040 have not sought

00:36:57.820 therapy for

00:36:59.100 mental illness.

00:37:00.280 In other words,

00:37:01.180 if you put it in

00:37:01.800 the same room,

00:37:02.540 all the people

00:37:03.160 who do not have

00:37:03.920 any form of

00:37:04.440 mental illness,

00:37:05.580 and you said,

00:37:06.140 all right,

00:37:06.520 what do you all

00:37:07.300 believe?

00:37:08.400 Can you get along?

00:37:09.220 It wouldn't be

00:37:10.720 much of a problem.

00:37:12.800 Basically,

00:37:13.460 the non-mentally

00:37:14.280 ill people are

00:37:16.080 generally willing

00:37:16.780 to consider

00:37:17.780 other information

00:37:18.680 and, you know,

00:37:19.380 maybe change

00:37:20.460 their views if

00:37:21.180 they hear a

00:37:21.540 better argument,

00:37:22.140 that sort of

00:37:22.480 thing.

00:37:22.780 But the mentally

00:37:23.500 ill are just

00:37:24.080 going to go

00:37:24.480 right to the

00:37:24.960 wall.

00:37:25.640 Ah, ah, ah.

00:37:28.360 Yeah.

00:37:29.120 And the eyes

00:37:30.380 have it,

00:37:31.820 the mentally

00:37:32.300 ill eyes.

00:37:34.860 So more on

00:37:36.220 this.

00:37:36.520 The more

00:37:37.260 important people,

00:37:38.080 the more

00:37:39.260 that important

00:37:39.840 people say

00:37:40.440 it's a crazy

00:37:41.060 person problem,

00:37:42.040 the better

00:37:42.340 waffle we are.

00:37:45.000 Robert F.

00:37:45.800 Kennedy Jr.

00:37:46.500 is reminding

00:37:46.920 us that all

00:37:47.520 our economic

00:37:48.100 data is fake.

00:37:52.320 That's the

00:37:52.980 short version.

00:37:54.100 So everything

00:37:54.520 about jobs,

00:37:56.140 you know,

00:37:56.620 Biden keeps

00:37:57.240 saying,

00:37:57.640 oh,

00:37:57.820 economy's great,

00:37:58.700 inflation's down,

00:37:59.720 jobs are good.

00:38:01.560 It's all

00:38:02.300 technically true,

00:38:03.500 but fake.

00:38:04.760 Yeah,

00:38:05.240 there are more

00:38:05.640 jobs,

00:38:06.400 but they're

00:38:06.720 mostly government

00:38:07.560 jobs and

00:38:08.320 part-time

00:38:08.780 work.

00:38:09.920 So not

00:38:10.760 exactly a

00:38:11.480 sign of a

00:38:12.380 healthy economy.

00:38:14.700 So economic

00:38:15.680 data,

00:38:17.000 mostly fake.

00:38:18.980 And there

00:38:19.340 are lots of

00:38:19.700 examples.

00:38:20.240 I don't need

00:38:20.540 to give you

00:38:20.840 the examples,

00:38:21.500 but if you

00:38:21.900 believe anything

00:38:22.400 the government

00:38:22.840 says about

00:38:23.520 inflation or

00:38:25.000 jobs,

00:38:26.300 you probably

00:38:28.260 shouldn't.

00:38:30.260 60 Minutes

00:38:31.100 had a big

00:38:32.460 feature on,

00:38:33.840 hey,

00:38:34.080 you know that

00:38:34.460 secret Russian

00:38:35.440 weapon that

00:38:36.460 was hurting

00:38:37.580 all those

00:38:37.980 embassy people,

00:38:38.960 and then

00:38:39.840 studies were

00:38:40.480 done to

00:38:40.980 conclusively find

00:38:42.240 that there was

00:38:42.700 a mass hysteria

00:38:43.520 and there was

00:38:43.840 no weapon

00:38:44.400 whatsoever.

00:38:45.760 Well,

00:38:46.420 soon after

00:38:47.040 it's debunked

00:38:47.880 completely,

00:38:49.460 60 Minutes

00:38:50.100 has somebody

00:38:50.600 on to say

00:38:51.080 totally true.

00:38:52.620 Oh,

00:38:53.000 is it true?

00:38:53.680 It's so true

00:38:54.340 you can't even

00:38:54.820 believe it.

00:38:56.000 It's true.

00:38:57.080 There's no

00:38:57.480 picture of it,

00:38:58.680 interestingly.

00:38:59.900 Nobody's ever

00:39:00.420 seen one.

00:39:01.800 Weird.

00:39:02.720 Nobody's ever

00:39:03.200 seen one.

00:39:04.400 It's sort

00:39:04.740 of like

00:39:04.900 those UFOs.

00:39:06.300 Nobody's ever

00:39:06.740 seen one.

00:39:07.720 So just

00:39:08.240 when we

00:39:08.640 need to

00:39:09.040 get to

00:39:09.360 Ukraine

00:39:09.780 funding,

00:39:10.620 there's a

00:39:11.140 secret

00:39:11.480 Russian

00:39:12.200 weapon,

00:39:13.380 and 60

00:39:14.000 Minutes,

00:39:15.060 which many

00:39:16.080 believe is

00:39:16.860 in the

00:39:17.180 pocket of

00:39:17.940 big intel,

00:39:19.820 is given

00:39:21.160 the other

00:39:21.460 story.

00:39:22.340 Now,

00:39:22.680 have I

00:39:22.980 mentioned

00:39:23.300 the

00:39:23.700 documentary

00:39:24.940 effect?

00:39:26.500 Now,

00:39:26.740 60 Minutes

00:39:27.400 is sort

00:39:27.820 of a

00:39:28.060 long-form

00:39:28.880 news,

00:39:29.640 so it's

00:39:30.320 a documentary

00:39:30.920 within the

00:39:32.160 show.

00:39:32.380 So if

00:39:34.520 you watch

00:39:34.980 this Russian

00:39:35.580 secret weapon

00:39:36.440 episode on

00:39:37.420 60 Minutes,

00:39:38.320 would you

00:39:39.040 come away

00:39:39.620 thinking that

00:39:40.300 it's probably

00:39:40.860 true?

00:39:42.540 I think so.

00:39:43.760 I didn't

00:39:44.280 watch it,

00:39:45.240 but I'll bet

00:39:45.920 you would,

00:39:46.820 because a lot

00:39:47.300 of people said

00:39:47.860 to me today,

00:39:48.560 but Scott,

00:39:49.440 did you see

00:39:50.000 it?

00:39:50.180 Did you see

00:39:50.540 it?

00:39:50.720 It's all

00:39:51.000 true.

00:39:52.120 No.

00:39:53.120 If you

00:39:53.760 watched 60

00:39:54.660 Minutes,

00:39:55.800 and they

00:39:56.620 spent,

00:39:57.080 let's say,

00:39:57.320 15 or 20

00:39:58.120 minutes telling

00:39:58.680 you there was

00:39:59.260 definitely a

00:39:59.880 Russian secret

00:40:00.460 weapon,

00:40:01.620 what can

00:40:02.240 you conclude

00:40:02.880 when you're

00:40:03.380 done?

00:40:05.280 What's the

00:40:05.820 only thing

00:40:06.260 you can

00:40:06.680 conclude after

00:40:08.020 seeing hardcore,

00:40:09.900 really strong

00:40:10.840 evidence that

00:40:11.640 this Russian

00:40:12.140 secret weapon

00:40:12.800 exists?

00:40:13.920 The only

00:40:14.960 thing you can

00:40:15.560 conclude is

00:40:17.080 that documentaries

00:40:17.800 are persuasive.

00:40:19.500 That's it.

00:40:20.680 Nothing else.

00:40:22.480 There's nothing

00:40:23.040 else you can

00:40:23.580 conclude.

00:40:24.400 You have

00:40:25.000 departed all

00:40:25.740 rational thought

00:40:26.700 if you say

00:40:28.020 I listen to

00:40:28.560 a documentary

00:40:29.220 or listen to

00:40:30.160 a segment

00:40:30.740 on 60

00:40:31.360 Minutes and

00:40:32.280 it changed

00:40:32.740 my mind.

00:40:34.340 That's not

00:40:34.960 good thinking

00:40:35.480 because you

00:40:37.060 shouldn't be

00:40:37.400 changing your

00:40:37.860 minds based

00:40:38.320 on one

00:40:39.400 side of a

00:40:39.940 topic.

00:40:41.500 So I'm

00:40:42.160 going to say

00:40:42.560 no, I think

00:40:43.360 it's still

00:40:43.720 obviously a

00:40:44.740 fake news

00:40:45.360 and I'm not

00:40:46.080 even going to

00:40:46.380 look at the

00:40:46.780 details.

00:40:48.580 Speaking of

00:40:49.240 fake news,

00:40:50.000 you've heard

00:40:50.400 of this thing

00:40:50.840 called the

00:40:51.180 fog of war.

00:40:52.500 Do you

00:40:52.620 remember that

00:40:53.100 Al-Shifa

00:40:53.660 hospital that

00:40:55.000 was supposed

00:40:55.440 to be over

00:40:56.200 a massive

00:40:56.880 command and

00:40:57.460 control structure

00:40:58.280 and so

00:40:59.580 that's why

00:41:00.040 it made

00:41:00.320 sense that

00:41:01.060 the Israelis

00:41:01.600 went in

00:41:02.000 there hard.

00:41:03.800 Well, they

00:41:04.460 didn't destroy

00:41:05.080 Al-Shifa

00:41:05.620 but, you

00:41:06.700 know, did

00:41:07.000 some damage.

00:41:08.260 But now

00:41:08.960 it's completely

00:41:09.460 destroyed because

00:41:10.480 they did go

00:41:11.120 and root out

00:41:11.640 some other

00:41:12.920 Hamas people.

00:41:14.060 Some people

00:41:14.600 are reporting

00:41:15.080 that all of

00:41:15.620 the hospitals

00:41:16.100 are now

00:41:16.520 destroyed and

00:41:18.360 the anti-Israel

00:41:20.060 people are

00:41:20.560 saying, well,

00:41:21.200 that's proof

00:41:21.780 that they

00:41:22.440 always meant

00:41:22.920 to be

00:41:23.460 destroying

00:41:24.840 everything.

00:41:25.220 And, of

00:41:27.720 course, Israel

00:41:28.300 would say, no,

00:41:29.560 there totally

00:41:30.000 was a massive

00:41:30.640 command and

00:41:31.200 control center

00:41:31.760 there and

00:41:32.240 they keep

00:41:32.580 using them

00:41:33.140 and as long

00:41:33.820 as they keep

00:41:34.200 using them

00:41:34.620 to defend

00:41:35.040 themselves,

00:41:35.560 we're going

00:41:35.780 to keep

00:41:35.980 knocking them

00:41:36.440 down.

00:41:37.320 So, there

00:41:38.260 you've got

00:41:38.620 two stories

00:41:39.400 from a war

00:41:40.000 zone.

00:41:41.280 What have

00:41:41.780 you learned?

00:41:43.640 Two opposite

00:41:44.460 stories.

00:41:45.360 What have you

00:41:45.880 learned?

00:41:47.420 If what you

00:41:48.240 took away from

00:41:48.840 that is, well,

00:41:50.100 I trust one

00:41:50.780 of those sides,

00:41:52.160 you've learned

00:41:52.720 nothing.

00:41:54.520 Fog of

00:41:55.120 war.

00:41:55.740 You can't

00:41:56.260 trust any

00:41:56.720 of this.

00:41:57.900 You can't

00:41:58.460 trust Israel

00:41:59.100 when they

00:41:59.460 say everything

00:42:00.600 was fine.

00:42:01.680 And you

00:42:01.980 can't trust

00:42:02.540 the other

00:42:02.860 side when

00:42:03.340 they say

00:42:03.780 it's all

00:42:04.520 torturing

00:42:05.020 and raping.

00:42:06.060 They can't

00:42:06.560 stop torturing

00:42:07.180 and raping.

00:42:08.780 Don't believe

00:42:09.400 any of it.

00:42:10.840 In the middle

00:42:11.960 of a war,

00:42:13.620 none of this

00:42:14.500 is credible.

00:42:15.940 None of it.

00:42:17.140 I will tell

00:42:17.680 you I'm

00:42:19.080 pretty skeptical

00:42:20.100 about the

00:42:20.860 massive

00:42:21.580 command center

00:42:23.580 under

00:42:23.920 Al-Shifa.

00:42:24.960 Clearly

00:42:25.440 there was

00:42:25.840 something down

00:42:26.400 there.

00:42:27.420 It was

00:42:27.760 obvious it

00:42:28.220 was used

00:42:28.540 for something.

00:42:29.860 There are

00:42:30.240 other people

00:42:30.640 who say

00:42:30.920 the hospital

00:42:31.400 itself used

00:42:32.160 them,

00:42:32.620 but then

00:42:32.900 other people

00:42:33.340 point to

00:42:33.760 all the

00:42:33.980 weapons

00:42:34.320 that were

00:42:34.560 found there.

00:42:35.640 And then

00:42:35.860 other people

00:42:36.400 point to

00:42:36.820 the fact

00:42:37.100 that really

00:42:37.780 there weren't

00:42:38.100 many weapons

00:42:38.780 found there

00:42:39.240 for a massive

00:42:40.080 command and

00:42:40.840 control center.

00:42:42.000 So I don't

00:42:42.440 know what to

00:42:42.740 believe.

00:42:44.020 I would say

00:42:44.680 you can't

00:42:45.180 believe the

00:42:45.860 Israeli

00:42:46.300 government in

00:42:47.040 a time of

00:42:47.540 war.

00:42:48.320 You can't

00:42:48.780 believe Hamas

00:42:49.480 in a time

00:42:49.900 of war.

00:42:50.680 And you

00:42:50.960 can't

00:42:51.220 believe the

00:42:51.580 United States

00:42:52.120 government in

00:42:53.620 a time of

00:42:54.080 war.

00:42:55.260 The only

00:42:55.820 thing you

00:42:56.120 can be

00:42:56.340 sure of

00:42:56.740 is it

00:42:57.380 looks like

00:42:57.720 there's

00:42:57.920 some more

00:42:58.320 a lot

00:42:59.360 of war.

00:43:01.900 So I'm

00:43:02.540 not going

00:43:02.800 to back

00:43:03.300 either side

00:43:03.920 at this

00:43:04.240 point.

00:43:04.680 They're on

00:43:04.920 their own.

00:43:07.640 I think

00:43:08.320 we have an

00:43:08.760 answer to

00:43:10.140 the Mark

00:43:10.580 Cuban

00:43:11.060 mystery.

00:43:13.100 Have any

00:43:13.700 of you

00:43:13.920 been wondering

00:43:14.540 what's wrong

00:43:16.020 with Mark

00:43:16.500 Cuban?

00:43:17.440 Because he

00:43:17.800 keeps it

00:43:18.200 very publicly

00:43:18.940 defending

00:43:19.600 DEI and

00:43:21.940 that is

00:43:23.280 in conflict

00:43:23.860 with the

00:43:24.600 fact that

00:43:25.800 he's also

00:43:26.300 clearly

00:43:27.360 smart.

00:43:28.860 How can

00:43:29.640 you be

00:43:29.940 smart and

00:43:31.800 have an

00:43:32.120 opinion that's

00:43:32.740 so opposite

00:43:33.760 of common

00:43:35.300 sense?

00:43:37.180 Now many

00:43:38.240 different

00:43:39.380 theories have

00:43:41.560 been offered

00:43:41.980 but I think

00:43:42.620 we have an

00:43:43.000 answer finally.

00:43:44.080 Some people

00:43:44.640 say he's

00:43:45.040 just pandering

00:43:45.640 just pandering

00:43:46.980 to the

00:43:47.300 other side

00:43:47.740 just trying

00:43:48.380 to be a

00:43:48.720 good guy

00:43:49.080 in public.

00:43:50.280 Some say

00:43:50.760 he's

00:43:50.900 misinformed.

00:43:52.520 He just

00:43:52.880 didn't know

00:43:53.220 enough about

00:43:53.620 the topic.

00:43:54.840 Some say

00:43:55.340 it's some

00:43:56.840 kind of a

00:43:57.480 performance

00:43:58.340 or like

00:43:59.440 an op

00:43:59.940 or like

00:44:00.700 there's some

00:44:01.040 bigger purpose

00:44:01.920 to it

00:44:02.280 because it

00:44:02.600 couldn't make

00:44:03.000 sense on

00:44:03.880 its own.

00:44:04.220 I've also

00:44:06.640 suggested early

00:44:07.500 on that maybe

00:44:08.080 he was just

00:44:08.500 supporting his

00:44:09.100 own companies.

00:44:10.780 So it could

00:44:11.340 be that he

00:44:11.740 has a diverse

00:44:12.380 workforce in

00:44:13.240 his own

00:44:13.580 companies and

00:44:14.880 he's just

00:44:15.220 being a good

00:44:15.780 CEO and

00:44:17.840 making sure

00:44:18.960 that he

00:44:19.460 supports him

00:44:20.700 as vocally

00:44:21.160 as he can.

00:44:22.960 But none

00:44:24.080 of these

00:44:24.380 sounded too

00:44:25.100 satisfying,

00:44:25.740 did they?

00:44:27.060 Well here's

00:44:27.540 the new

00:44:27.880 evidence.

00:44:30.080 So Mark

00:44:30.580 Cuban posted

00:44:31.100 this.

00:44:31.820 He said,

00:44:32.240 I was with

00:44:32.680 a group of

00:44:33.240 people who

00:44:33.680 were proponent

00:44:34.200 of DEI.

00:44:35.320 They asked

00:44:35.980 me what I

00:44:36.500 would do

00:44:36.980 to reduce

00:44:38.220 the resistance

00:44:39.060 to DEI.

00:44:40.880 And Mark

00:44:41.380 said, I

00:44:41.900 told them

00:44:42.260 to do a

00:44:42.700 search and

00:44:43.100 replace

00:44:43.580 and all

00:44:44.280 of their

00:44:44.540 materials

00:44:45.100 for quote

00:44:46.180 equity of

00:44:46.900 outcomes

00:44:47.420 and then

00:44:48.380 change that

00:44:48.860 to quote

00:44:49.380 equality of

00:44:50.540 opportunities.

00:44:53.860 Don't let

00:44:54.600 your head

00:44:54.900 explode yet.

00:44:55.900 Hold on.

00:44:56.920 Every single

00:44:57.560 person agreed

00:44:58.380 that they

00:44:59.400 never should

00:45:00.240 have used

00:45:00.720 equality of

00:45:01.620 outcomes

00:45:02.140 and said

00:45:02.920 they should

00:45:03.340 change the

00:45:04.580 term.

00:45:07.660 Do you

00:45:08.300 understand

00:45:08.660 now?

00:45:11.060 In other

00:45:11.800 words,

00:45:13.140 Mark

00:45:13.520 Cuban's

00:45:13.980 understanding

00:45:14.540 of DEI

00:45:15.200 was the

00:45:15.640 opposite of

00:45:16.220 what DEI

00:45:16.760 is.

00:45:18.740 So he

00:45:19.380 said, if

00:45:19.840 you change

00:45:20.300 it to its

00:45:20.760 opposite,

00:45:21.720 then everybody

00:45:23.860 would agree

00:45:24.360 it's good.

00:45:26.660 Yes, that's

00:45:27.460 true.

00:45:28.000 If you

00:45:28.540 change it

00:45:29.000 to its

00:45:29.300 opposite,

00:45:29.760 it would

00:45:30.940 start to

00:45:31.340 make sense.

00:45:33.220 Now, here's

00:45:33.880 what I think

00:45:34.360 happened.

00:45:35.680 Because he

00:45:36.280 did all

00:45:36.600 this publicly,

00:45:39.600 I mean,

00:45:41.040 he literally

00:45:41.560 said if you

00:45:42.180 change it

00:45:42.640 to its

00:45:43.060 opposite,

00:45:45.000 that then

00:45:46.400 we all

00:45:46.780 agree it's

00:45:47.300 good.

00:45:49.780 He didn't

00:45:50.440 know that

00:45:50.800 before.

00:45:52.260 How is it

00:45:52.880 possible he

00:45:53.500 didn't know

00:45:53.860 that?

00:45:55.080 Here's my

00:45:55.800 hypothesis.

00:45:56.580 We can't read

00:45:57.040 his mind,

00:45:57.560 so we don't

00:45:58.020 know.

00:45:58.680 And I

00:45:58.900 think if

00:45:59.180 you asked

00:45:59.540 him, you

00:45:59.820 still wouldn't

00:46:00.220 know.

00:46:01.840 Because it's

00:46:02.540 the sort of

00:46:02.980 situation where

00:46:03.680 you're never

00:46:03.980 sure what

00:46:04.440 you're hearing.

00:46:05.420 So I think

00:46:06.160 asking him is

00:46:06.800 a waste of

00:46:07.240 time.

00:46:07.900 But here's

00:46:08.840 what it

00:46:09.060 looks like.

00:46:10.100 And I

00:46:10.640 would say

00:46:10.960 this is

00:46:11.340 something that's

00:46:11.960 happened to

00:46:12.420 me on

00:46:12.980 different

00:46:13.280 occasions.

00:46:15.780 Were you

00:46:16.320 ever sure

00:46:16.860 you understood

00:46:17.500 a topic,

00:46:18.400 and then you

00:46:19.420 got halfway

00:46:20.020 in, and

00:46:21.260 you realized,

00:46:22.640 uh-oh, did

00:46:23.940 I completely

00:46:24.540 misunderstand

00:46:24.960 this topic?

00:46:26.640 And then you

00:46:27.400 say to

00:46:27.660 yourself,

00:46:28.020 it would be

00:46:29.120 kind of

00:46:29.440 awkward for

00:46:30.080 me to

00:46:30.360 say, I

00:46:30.980 completely

00:46:31.460 misunderstood

00:46:32.140 this topic.

00:46:33.980 Like, I

00:46:34.640 actually had

00:46:35.140 it backwards.

00:46:35.920 That's

00:46:36.260 completely

00:46:36.740 misunderstanding.

00:46:38.500 And what

00:46:39.240 do you do

00:46:39.500 then?

00:46:40.680 Well, then

00:46:41.460 you look for

00:46:42.160 a clever,

00:46:43.380 weaselly way

00:46:44.280 that you

00:46:45.140 could be

00:46:45.480 completely

00:46:45.940 wrong, but

00:46:46.620 really right.

00:46:48.140 And it

00:46:48.700 looks like

00:46:49.040 he's taken

00:46:49.440 that path.

00:46:50.780 Oh, I

00:46:51.160 was 100%

00:46:51.980 wrong, but

00:46:53.180 in a way

00:46:53.820 that matters

00:46:54.700 if you

00:46:55.100 change words,

00:46:56.360 I was

00:46:56.720 completely

00:46:57.140 right.

00:46:58.740 But the

00:47:00.000 good news

00:47:00.440 is he

00:47:00.820 found his

00:47:01.280 way there.

00:47:03.480 So I

00:47:04.240 think the

00:47:04.740 explanation

00:47:05.840 that he's

00:47:06.560 stupid can

00:47:07.440 be ruled

00:47:07.840 out.

00:47:09.760 Are you

00:47:10.340 with me?

00:47:11.560 Given that

00:47:12.240 he found

00:47:12.680 the right

00:47:13.060 place, can

00:47:15.060 we rule

00:47:15.440 out stupid?

00:47:18.040 He found

00:47:18.720 the right

00:47:18.980 place.

00:47:20.020 And it

00:47:20.440 looks like

00:47:20.800 he took

00:47:22.140 into account

00:47:22.760 opinions and

00:47:23.620 maybe found

00:47:24.340 out more

00:47:24.720 about it.

00:47:25.240 now here's

00:47:27.080 where he

00:47:28.000 probably went

00:47:28.820 wrong.

00:47:30.660 And this

00:47:31.340 could have

00:47:31.720 to do

00:47:32.020 with not

00:47:32.900 having much

00:47:34.140 experience as

00:47:34.860 an employee.

00:47:36.000 So his

00:47:36.720 experience as

00:47:37.380 a boss, it's

00:47:38.320 very different.

00:47:40.500 Here's what

00:47:41.240 every employee

00:47:42.060 knows.

00:47:44.020 If you

00:47:44.700 were to

00:47:44.940 say, hey,

00:47:46.380 that's a

00:47:46.760 good idea,

00:47:47.820 we're going

00:47:48.100 to change

00:47:48.520 this from

00:47:49.220 we're going

00:47:51.340 to change

00:47:51.620 this from

00:47:52.060 saying

00:47:52.560 equality

00:47:53.960 of outcomes,

00:47:57.000 we're going

00:47:57.620 to change

00:47:57.960 it to

00:47:58.300 equality of

00:47:59.040 opportunities.

00:48:00.800 So, hey,

00:48:01.240 managers, we

00:48:03.300 just want to

00:48:03.720 make sure that

00:48:04.260 you have a

00:48:04.620 equality of

00:48:05.300 opportunity.

00:48:06.780 So then a

00:48:07.520 year goes

00:48:07.880 by and you

00:48:10.300 go into

00:48:10.660 your review

00:48:12.120 with your

00:48:12.540 boss.

00:48:13.740 And your

00:48:14.100 boss says,

00:48:14.600 hey, how

00:48:15.340 have you done

00:48:16.360 on diversity?

00:48:17.260 And you

00:48:18.520 say, really

00:48:19.440 great, excellent,

00:48:21.180 made huge

00:48:21.940 strides.

00:48:23.040 I've given

00:48:23.740 more opportunities

00:48:24.760 to more

00:48:25.320 people than

00:48:26.000 ever before.

00:48:27.240 So many

00:48:27.780 opportunities.

00:48:29.160 And then the

00:48:29.520 boss says,

00:48:29.960 that's great.

00:48:30.660 So what is

00:48:31.100 your current

00:48:31.720 diversity

00:48:33.520 situation?

00:48:34.960 And you

00:48:35.220 say, well,

00:48:35.560 none of them

00:48:35.960 took the

00:48:36.280 job.

00:48:37.520 Because it

00:48:38.240 turns out they

00:48:39.140 weren't qualified

00:48:39.860 as other

00:48:40.240 people.

00:48:41.080 So the

00:48:41.380 diversity

00:48:41.760 didn't change

00:48:42.320 whatsoever.

00:48:43.760 But, man,

00:48:44.640 did I, I

00:48:45.180 nailed it.

00:48:45.840 I gave so

00:48:46.360 many opportunities.

00:48:47.780 I did

00:48:48.660 recruiting in

00:48:49.700 inner cities.

00:48:51.260 You know,

00:48:51.580 we hired

00:48:52.280 somebody just

00:48:53.320 to scan for

00:48:54.820 making sure we

00:48:55.480 didn't miss

00:48:55.900 anybody.

00:48:57.120 Opportunities all

00:48:57.800 over the

00:48:58.040 place.

00:48:58.420 You should

00:48:58.760 give me a

00:48:59.240 big, big

00:48:59.780 raise for

00:49:00.840 all the

00:49:01.140 opportunities I

00:49:02.120 created.

00:49:03.260 And the

00:49:03.880 boss says,

00:49:04.660 I have to

00:49:06.320 explain why

00:49:06.920 our diversity

00:49:07.540 didn't change.

00:49:09.560 How am I

00:49:10.220 going to

00:49:10.360 explain that

00:49:10.740 to my

00:49:11.020 boss?

00:49:12.420 So I'm

00:49:13.320 not going

00:49:13.680 to give

00:49:13.980 you a

00:49:14.660 bonus for

00:49:16.140 not

00:49:16.660 increasing

00:49:17.300 diversity.

00:49:18.620 And then

00:49:19.320 the employee

00:49:19.880 says,

00:49:20.360 hold on,

00:49:21.500 you told me

00:49:22.540 very specifically

00:49:23.500 that it's not

00:49:25.220 about the

00:49:25.560 outcomes.

00:49:26.320 You said it's

00:49:26.800 about the

00:49:27.100 opportunities.

00:49:27.620 And I just

00:49:28.140 told you,

00:49:28.660 I killed it

00:49:29.620 in opportunities.

00:49:30.700 I made so

00:49:31.560 many opportunities.

00:49:32.280 And then

00:49:34.440 your boss

00:49:34.860 doesn't give

00:49:35.520 you a bonus.

00:49:36.220 And what

00:49:36.440 do you do

00:49:36.820 the next

00:49:37.300 time?

00:49:39.200 Next year,

00:49:39.960 you just

00:49:40.300 hire everybody

00:49:40.960 you can who

00:49:41.620 looks different

00:49:42.480 than the

00:49:42.860 people you

00:49:43.220 have.

00:49:44.080 Because that's

00:49:44.920 how you get

00:49:45.320 a bonus.

00:49:46.740 And if the

00:49:47.360 boss says,

00:49:48.020 I'm concerned

00:49:48.820 that you hired

00:49:49.380 people of

00:49:50.040 lower capability,

00:49:51.440 you look at

00:49:52.520 them and you

00:49:52.820 say,

00:49:53.660 well,

00:49:54.840 that's pretty

00:49:56.240 racist.

00:49:57.660 I checked

00:49:58.880 everybody myself.

00:50:00.160 They're all

00:50:00.800 equally good.

00:50:02.560 So,

00:50:04.000 something wrong

00:50:04.960 with you,

00:50:06.360 racist.

00:50:08.000 Right?

00:50:08.700 So,

00:50:09.760 I think he

00:50:10.340 thinks,

00:50:11.040 you know,

00:50:11.300 probably Mark

00:50:12.220 thinks that in

00:50:12.900 the real world,

00:50:13.660 if you focus

00:50:14.340 on opportunity,

00:50:15.880 that that's

00:50:16.400 what you get.

00:50:17.680 You get lots

00:50:18.300 of opportunity

00:50:18.980 and that that

00:50:20.000 naturally creates

00:50:20.900 more diversity.

00:50:23.300 No.

00:50:25.300 Not in the

00:50:26.020 real world.

00:50:27.160 In the real

00:50:27.660 world,

00:50:28.020 people will

00:50:28.540 pursue what

00:50:29.120 they're measured

00:50:29.660 on.

00:50:30.800 And if

00:50:31.300 they're measured

00:50:31.740 on diversity,

00:50:32.520 they're going

00:50:32.760 to pump up

00:50:33.900 that number

00:50:34.360 hiring whoever

00:50:35.100 walks in the

00:50:36.060 door.

00:50:37.280 You know,

00:50:37.600 within reason.

00:50:40.740 So,

00:50:41.200 that's my

00:50:41.500 theory.

00:50:41.960 I think he

00:50:42.480 just got

00:50:42.900 caught in

00:50:43.420 a little

00:50:45.100 blind spot.

00:50:46.600 And he's

00:50:47.160 trying to

00:50:47.460 crawl out of

00:50:47.980 it now.

00:50:48.760 That's what

00:50:49.100 it looks

00:50:49.320 like.

00:50:51.100 Well,

00:50:51.660 meanwhile,

00:50:52.420 one of my

00:50:52.920 old schools,

00:50:53.740 UC Berkeley,

00:50:54.920 is accused

00:50:55.680 of being

00:50:56.480 a racist

00:50:57.100 because there's

00:50:58.440 some kind

00:50:58.860 of a,

00:51:00.480 what is

00:51:01.240 it?

00:51:02.200 They're

00:51:02.680 banning

00:51:03.040 white people

00:51:03.680 from the

00:51:04.080 community

00:51:04.500 farms.

00:51:05.320 I guess

00:51:05.640 Berkeley has

00:51:06.200 some kind

00:51:06.540 of community

00:51:07.040 farm.

00:51:08.040 You can't

00:51:08.440 go there

00:51:08.720 if you're

00:51:09.000 white.

00:51:09.220 okay.

00:51:14.440 And then

00:51:15.260 there's

00:51:15.980 been a

00:51:16.360 promise to

00:51:16.860 review all

00:51:17.380 of the UC

00:51:17.860 systems to

00:51:19.140 see if they

00:51:19.520 have other

00:51:20.020 systemic racism

00:51:21.180 against white

00:51:21.880 people.

00:51:23.220 Huh.

00:51:23.720 I wonder if

00:51:24.760 there's any

00:51:25.220 other systemic

00:51:25.920 racism against

00:51:26.860 white people in

00:51:27.720 Berkeley.

00:51:28.960 Huh.

00:51:29.900 If they check

00:51:30.860 really hard,

00:51:31.860 I don't know.

00:51:32.740 Maybe they

00:51:33.300 could find

00:51:33.740 some.

00:51:34.840 Maybe.

00:51:35.920 No.

00:51:36.420 Berkeley is

00:51:38.180 a cesspool

00:51:38.960 of racism

00:51:39.980 and good

00:51:41.700 luck getting

00:51:42.060 rid of it.

00:51:44.920 Jonathan

00:51:45.480 Haidt is

00:51:46.020 making a lot

00:51:46.460 of news

00:51:46.800 with his

00:51:47.140 new book

00:51:47.580 called The

00:51:48.000 Anxious

00:51:48.360 Generation

00:51:48.860 in which

00:51:50.100 I'm summarizing

00:51:51.060 it too much

00:51:52.460 but basically

00:51:53.280 the idea

00:51:53.800 is that

00:51:54.780 the kids

00:51:55.920 today are

00:51:56.500 all anxious

00:51:57.040 and have

00:51:57.340 mental illness

00:51:57.960 because a

00:51:59.660 combination of

00:52:00.240 their phones

00:52:00.860 plus less

00:52:02.500 normal play.

00:52:04.100 So it's two

00:52:04.520 things.

00:52:04.880 It's not just

00:52:05.420 the phone.

00:52:06.700 It's also

00:52:07.120 that it's

00:52:07.920 substituting

00:52:08.580 to some

00:52:10.740 degree play

00:52:11.500 and that

00:52:12.580 play is

00:52:13.980 important.

00:52:15.880 And his

00:52:17.320 critics are

00:52:17.820 saying,

00:52:18.920 but,

00:52:19.120 but,

00:52:19.460 but,

00:52:20.260 all you're

00:52:20.760 showing is

00:52:21.200 correlation,

00:52:21.920 not causation.

00:52:23.500 Now that's

00:52:24.220 what I always

00:52:24.680 say.

00:52:25.380 I always say,

00:52:26.200 maybe it's

00:52:27.020 just a

00:52:27.360 coincidence.

00:52:28.220 Maybe

00:52:28.560 something else

00:52:29.200 is happening.

00:52:30.640 But Jonathan

00:52:31.760 Haidt in a

00:52:32.520 very long

00:52:33.000 post pointed

00:52:34.340 out the

00:52:34.800 many,

00:52:35.200 many studies

00:52:35.840 he and

00:52:36.360 his partner

00:52:37.060 looked at

00:52:37.660 and that

00:52:39.000 some of

00:52:39.360 them would

00:52:40.000 have been

00:52:40.260 just

00:52:40.560 correlation,

00:52:41.580 but there's

00:52:42.020 a lot more

00:52:42.440 that tees

00:52:42.940 out causation.

00:52:44.200 So the

00:52:44.820 fact that

00:52:45.220 he was

00:52:45.680 very,

00:52:46.400 very,

00:52:47.620 directly

00:52:48.900 looking to

00:52:50.380 find causation

00:52:51.400 and not be

00:52:52.100 fooled by

00:52:52.540 correlation

00:52:53.140 is a good

00:52:54.080 sign.

00:52:55.000 So I think

00:52:55.880 if I had to

00:52:56.400 bet on it,

00:52:56.980 I would bet

00:52:57.440 that Haidt

00:52:58.080 is right

00:52:58.520 and his

00:52:58.920 critics are

00:52:59.500 wrong because

00:53:00.660 he says his

00:53:01.580 critics focused

00:53:02.400 on two

00:53:04.760 studies or

00:53:05.480 one study

00:53:06.140 where indeed

00:53:07.760 he would

00:53:08.140 agree causation

00:53:10.200 was not

00:53:10.600 demonstrated.

00:53:12.040 But he had

00:53:12.660 lots of other

00:53:13.320 science that

00:53:14.000 shows it

00:53:14.360 was.

00:53:15.080 I can't

00:53:15.840 speak to

00:53:16.180 the science.

00:53:17.040 I can only

00:53:17.640 say there's

00:53:18.100 a disagreement

00:53:18.760 there.

00:53:19.140 But remember

00:53:20.620 my BS

00:53:23.280 filter?

00:53:25.960 Number one

00:53:26.680 best BS

00:53:27.340 filter.

00:53:29.120 Does the

00:53:29.760 science match

00:53:30.520 observation?

00:53:32.820 Yes.

00:53:34.380 You don't

00:53:34.960 have to be a

00:53:35.520 scientist to

00:53:36.180 look at a

00:53:36.520 kid with a

00:53:36.940 phone and

00:53:39.640 know what's

00:53:40.040 happening.

00:53:41.780 I think it's

00:53:42.540 the dumbest

00:53:43.020 thing in the

00:53:43.360 world that

00:53:43.720 there's any

00:53:44.100 question about

00:53:44.740 it.

00:53:45.620 Like I'm

00:53:46.280 glad that

00:53:46.720 there is

00:53:47.060 science,

00:53:47.780 but this

00:53:49.060 is very

00:53:49.480 squarely in

00:53:50.140 the category

00:53:50.680 of you

00:53:51.860 could have

00:53:52.240 just asked

00:53:53.000 Scott because

00:53:55.080 it's all

00:53:56.020 really,

00:53:56.520 really,

00:53:56.820 really obvious

00:53:57.640 to every

00:53:58.200 single observer.

00:54:00.320 Who has a

00:54:01.140 kid and

00:54:01.520 doesn't know

00:54:01.960 that the

00:54:02.260 phone is

00:54:02.660 destroying

00:54:03.080 their brains?

00:54:05.180 Nobody.

00:54:06.240 Every parent

00:54:06.880 knows that.

00:54:07.600 It's obvious.

00:54:11.620 Well,

00:54:12.180 let's see

00:54:12.520 what else

00:54:12.860 is happening.

00:54:15.420 Turkey had

00:54:16.120 some elections,

00:54:17.540 local elections,

00:54:18.580 and weirdly,

00:54:20.100 their leader

00:54:20.700 Erdogan,

00:54:22.160 his party

00:54:22.740 just got

00:54:23.240 destroyed in

00:54:24.400 a landslide.

00:54:25.840 So you

00:54:26.080 think of

00:54:26.560 Turkey as

00:54:27.220 sort of a

00:54:28.780 strongman

00:54:29.400 dictatorship,

00:54:30.540 but they're

00:54:31.340 a weird

00:54:32.140 hybrid.

00:54:34.040 So apparently

00:54:34.880 they like

00:54:35.460 leaders who

00:54:36.120 are strong

00:54:36.560 leaders,

00:54:36.880 but they

00:54:37.520 still get

00:54:37.880 elected.

00:54:38.920 And apparently

00:54:39.520 the elections

00:54:40.120 are somewhat

00:54:41.380 real.

00:54:42.760 So the

00:54:43.800 national

00:54:44.820 election

00:54:45.220 follows,

00:54:45.880 I guess,

00:54:46.260 in their

00:54:46.540 system.

00:54:47.740 And the

00:54:48.520 Samar people

00:54:49.100 are saying

00:54:49.480 Erdogan is

00:54:50.020 just going

00:54:50.340 to get

00:54:50.500 wiped out

00:54:51.080 and that

00:54:52.060 he will

00:54:52.460 not be

00:54:53.240 the leader.

00:54:54.920 I don't

00:54:55.200 know.

00:54:56.140 So apparently

00:54:56.780 it looks like

00:54:57.640 there's a move

00:54:58.260 back toward

00:54:59.080 secular

00:54:59.720 government and

00:55:01.120 away from

00:55:01.820 more of a

00:55:03.220 religious take

00:55:04.580 on it.

00:55:06.440 We'll keep an

00:55:07.280 eye on that.

00:55:08.080 I'm going

00:55:09.020 to trust

00:55:09.420 Ian Bremmer

00:55:10.300 when he

00:55:10.880 characterizes

00:55:11.760 elections in

00:55:13.100 Turkey as

00:55:13.780 mattering.

00:55:14.980 So we'll

00:55:15.280 see if he

00:55:16.440 does get

00:55:16.780 replaced.

00:55:17.640 That could

00:55:17.940 change a lot.

00:55:20.260 Unless you're

00:55:21.120 really plugged

00:55:21.640 into geopolitical

00:55:23.340 stuff, it

00:55:24.480 wouldn't

00:55:24.760 necessarily be

00:55:26.220 obvious to

00:55:26.720 you that

00:55:27.180 Turkey makes

00:55:28.160 a difference.

00:55:29.540 That makes

00:55:30.100 a difference.

00:55:32.180 CIA influence?

00:55:33.580 I don't know.

00:55:34.900 Hard to

00:55:35.500 imagine they

00:55:36.060 weren't there.

00:55:38.080 All right.

00:55:39.200 Ladies and

00:55:39.960 gentlemen, I

00:55:41.900 have a little

00:55:42.520 announcement just

00:55:43.920 for the locals

00:55:44.840 people.

00:55:45.760 So after we

00:55:48.020 sign off, let's

00:55:50.900 see if you have

00:55:51.260 any questions

00:55:51.760 first.

00:55:52.540 Is there

00:55:52.800 anything I

00:55:53.160 missed?

00:55:54.180 But I've

00:55:54.600 got some

00:55:55.080 insider stuff

00:55:56.880 for just the

00:55:57.860 locals people

00:55:58.520 that were

00:55:58.820 done.

00:55:59.220 So I'll be

00:56:00.040 turning off

00:56:00.520 YouTube and

00:56:01.360 Rumble and

00:56:02.280 X so only

00:56:04.120 the locals

00:56:05.220 people will

00:56:05.860 see the good

00:56:06.680 stuff.

00:56:08.080 All right.

00:56:09.980 Nothing else?

00:56:11.020 All right.

00:56:11.380 I think we're

00:56:11.860 good.

00:56:12.480 So I'm going

00:56:13.600 to say goodbye

00:56:14.120 now to

00:56:14.920 YouTube and

00:56:16.620 Rumble and

00:56:18.600 X.

00:56:19.900 A couple of

00:56:20.740 clicks and

00:56:22.680 OK.

00:56:42.520 Bye.

00:56:42.660 Bye.

00:56:43.000 Bye.

00:56:43.160 Bye.

00:56:44.320 Bye.

00:56:44.760 Bye.

00:56:44.960 Bye.

00:56:45.200 Bye.
