A meteor that looks like a nuclear warhead, Alice Stewart, a political commentator for CNN and other places, dies suddenly outdoors at age 58, and because we're terrible people, instead of saying the things we should say, such as caring about the family and hoping they're doing well, we send around memes about being fully vaccinated.
00:03:10.300A political commentator for CNN and other places, I guess, Alice Stewart, died suddenly outdoors at age 58.
00:03:19.540And because we're terrible people, instead of saying the things we should say, such as caring about the family and hoping they're doing well,
00:03:33.640we're probably going to send around memes about being fully vaccinated, because I guess she was fully vaccinated and she was pro-vax.
00:03:43.440Now, I saw some people saying, since when do people drop dead if they're not vaccinated?
00:03:49.400To which I say, when has that not happened?
00:03:53.440In my entire life, I've been hearing stories of people at every age just suddenly dropping dead.
00:04:25.860There's a study showing that hypothermia, meaning getting really cold, can help you with depression because it has anti-inflammatory properties when you freeze yourself, I guess, put yourself in cold air or cold water.
00:04:43.520Now, I don't think I'm the first person to come up with this.
00:06:40.680Now, I don't offer this as proof, but I say this often.
00:06:44.740Everything about the reality that we think is our reality would have to be this way if we were a programmed artificial software species.
00:06:56.080All of the limits that we would observe building a game, such as you can't have unlimited universe, you'd have to have a limited size, etc.
00:07:07.740It's too coincidental that everything about a real reality only makes sense if we're software, but it wouldn't make sense if we were real.
00:07:17.900Well, there are a lot of coincidences, so I'm pretty sure we're simulated, but we'll see.
00:07:25.280Just the fact that it's on Joe Rogan puts it up to a different level.
00:07:31.360I saw an interesting post by Michael Girdley on X, and he talks about his experience hiring a private chef to cook for his family.
00:07:41.920Two days for a week, the private chef comes in and prepares a bunch of meals that they can eat for several days until the private chef comes back.
00:07:49.900Now, you might say to yourself, Scott, Scott, Scott, why are you giving us rich people news?
00:08:20.580Now, part of it has to do with, you know, families today seem to have different diets.
00:08:25.080You can have one vegan in your family and one with, you know, allergies to five different things and one who only eats some weird diet.
00:08:35.660So it's really, really hard to cook for your family, and we're not really good at cooking extra in advance, so you'll have, you know, stuff to take out of the freezer.
00:08:46.420But apparently, if you get the chef, they save you a ton of time, but also money.
00:08:54.580Now, I'm not going to go so far as to recommend that you do this.
00:08:58.560I don't think it's quite practical for the average person yet.
00:09:02.100You know, maybe you have a little, probably upper middle class would be the starting point for even thinking about it.
00:09:09.640But I have a larger point, which is our food delivery and preparation is all wrong.
00:09:19.360Do you know how much money we spend just getting the food into your mouth?
00:09:25.100The actual growing of the food is reasonably efficient.
00:09:29.040The part where it gets pulled out of the dirt and delivered to your mouth is so wrong.
00:09:35.460I mean, every part of that system is just so poorly, and then you've got to go to the grocery store.
00:09:41.880You have to drive to the store, like, several times a week and carry things home, and you put it in a bag, you put it in a cart, you put it in a bag, you take it out of the bag, you put it in the refrigerator, you take it out of the refrigerator.
00:09:54.500It's just this insanely wrong process.
00:09:57.900And I don't think a private chef is going to be answered, but here's what I think is.
00:10:01.540I believe that people who live close to each other will start creating private virtual cafeterias.
00:10:11.640In other words, one of the people in the community will say, all right, I'll just be the house mom and I'll cook for everybody.
00:10:18.980And you'll say, oh, that's not a bad idea.
00:10:22.400I might even meet some neighbors that way.
00:10:24.080I think there's going to be some kind of coordinated food preparation process, maybe with AI, maybe a robot gets involved.
00:10:33.520But my prediction is this, that the old model of a mom or a dad or together preparing meals for a family is definitely going to go away.
00:10:45.500It will be maintained by some groups forever, of course.
00:10:49.420But as a general theme, it's going to go away from fast food and away from snacking all day, which a lot of families do.
00:10:58.700And it's going to go toward some kind of community, organized food prep thing that will save you money and time.
00:11:07.380Mike Benton describes why we can't have a wall.
00:11:09.940And the basic idea, he goes into great details, it's highly convincing.
00:11:16.140I don't have any doubt that he's right.
00:11:18.280But basically he's saying that ever since forever, the United States has been getting into illegal drug business so that we could have a way to move dark money to places that the CIA wants to move it.
00:11:34.540So if you wanted to buy weapons for a secret war or, you know, a revolution that you're trying to foment, you don't want a lot of records of the money moving around.
00:11:45.480So you get in bed with the criminal elements and you move, you know, tons of cocaine and whatever else, fentanyl.
00:11:53.700And you can move your money around in the form of drugs.
00:16:27.760So, so I want to give you these two data points and then shake my head about it.
00:16:33.220Remember, I always tell you that your opinions are assigned to you.
00:16:37.520So Tesla, and maybe give me a fact check on this.
00:16:40.660I believe that Tesla is currently at such a dominant position that hasn't quite actualized because it's going to take a while for people to experience the full self-driving.
00:18:02.060But imagine if I could go to a place I'd never been where the rules of the road are all different and I just get in the car and tell it where to go.
00:18:09.260Imagine just telling your car, you know, you're in Italy or something.
00:18:13.520Imagine just telling the car to go, I don't know, to Rome.
00:19:31.660But how is anybody going to compete with the Tesla robot or the Tesla self-driving car if Elon's the only one who has that much video visual data to train it?

00:20:51.700Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:21:49.040I think the real story is we don't know the real story and we'll never know the real story.
00:21:53.620So, I've been hesitant to weigh in heavily on an opinion because I feel like there are a lot of people in the intelligence community who want them dead.
00:30:14.180So he was actually arrested in Phoenix on conspiracy fraud, forgery and other felony charges, even though he didn't have any communication with the Arizona electors.
00:30:23.660Does it sound to you like this is suppressive fire and that the entire plan is to rig the election, but they're making sure you know that if you complain about it, you'll go to jail?
00:30:36.300I don't I don't I don't I don't know how else to interpret it.
00:30:40.040The only way I can interpret this is that the Democrats are making damn sure, you know, that if you complain about another rigged election, you're going to jail and he's hunted.
00:31:01.860And so Joe Scarborough, he says that he gets to talk to the top people in the Biden campaign, you know, not the low level people like the rest of you are talking to.
00:31:37.420They know that they can use that money to swing the vote.
00:31:40.360So given all the money that they have and the fact that there's plenty of time left, they're sure that Biden will easily win this race in just the normal way.
00:31:52.020You know, you campaign better than the other one, spend more money on ads, you know, that sort of thing.
00:31:59.660Let me tell you, I can't think of anything that would be scarier than knowing that the Biden campaign on the inside are supremely confident because they know something we don't know.
00:32:18.600We do know everything that Joe Scarborough told us, that they raised a lot of money and, you know, they'll try really hard and, you know, elections narrow and all that stuff.
00:32:31.440But if they're so confident at this point, based on all the polling going against them and still moving in that direction, losing the black vote, and there's, you know, they're still confident they won't lose the vote.
00:32:44.560But that there's a huge swing toward Republican, well, toward Trump specifically.
00:32:50.500To me, this looks like the media is getting you ready, telling you that there's a real reason that they could win, but more importantly, signaling that the people on the inside know something you don't know.
00:33:06.060But we do know about their, all the stuff he mentioned.
00:33:28.740You know, communication is about not just what the person says, but what you're thinking about the person's intentions.
00:33:37.840That's what allows you to hear it a certain way, because you're assuming they have a certain intention when they say things.
00:33:42.980To me, it's kind of signaling like they're planning to rig it, and they want to put John Eastman in jail and all the January Sixers, so that when they rig it with this weird confidence they have while running a person who's clearly mentally incompetent and behind in the polls and falling.
00:34:04.020The only way all of these facts make sense is if they've already decided to rig it, and there's nothing you can do about it.
00:34:10.380I don't know how to understand it any other way, this set of facts.
00:34:17.560Jonathan Turley is having some fun with this story about Biden who wants to have executive privilege over those Her tapes.
00:34:26.640Those are the tapes in which we have the transcript, and Her, the lawyer, said that he didn't want to prosecute Biden in part because he seemed like a sympathetic old man.
00:34:40.380He was a little confused, who was a little confused, and then the Republicans say, really?
00:34:44.660We have the transcript, but maybe we should hear him in his own words, which I'd love to hear.
00:34:53.380And I'm going to call these the dementia tapes.
00:34:57.380For some reason, nobody gave them a name.
00:35:49.800He says the implication of privilege over the audio tapes is so transparently political and cynical that it would make Richard Nixon blush.
00:35:58.360Biden is not claiming the actual conversation as privileged, only how he sounded and spoke the words.
00:36:07.480The only thing he thinks is privileged, because that's all there is.
00:36:11.120Since we know what he said, all that's left is the way he said it.
00:36:15.580You know, the sort of the mannerism of his delivery.
00:36:20.540Now, is that something that is presidential executive privilege?
00:36:54.580So as a citizen, I definitely want to hear it.
00:36:56.900So let me be clear from a citizen standpoint, definitely want to hear it.
00:37:02.360But that would apply to a lot of things that are presidential and confidential.
00:37:07.320So I don't know how he could win this, but I'm just sort of philosophically, I'm in favor of even Biden having a lot of privacy in the job.
00:37:26.220And I think the country would be better served if we heard it.
00:37:30.060But that's presidential, you know, presidential privilege is a pretty broad tool.
00:37:37.980So it's not going to make you happy all the time.
00:37:39.980It does kind of get you back to the GoPro presidency.
00:37:47.140Do you remember maybe, I don't know, seven or eight years ago, I talked to you that Naval Ravikant had an article saying we should put a GoPro camera on our presidents.
00:37:58.080Whenever they're doing anything that's the work of the people, we just watch it.
00:38:03.020There should be, it's almost like a body cam for the president.
00:38:07.460If you put a body cam on a cop because you're not sure what happens when you're not watching, what if you put a body cam on your president?
00:38:17.200Now, the first thing you're going to say is, but Scott, there are so many like secret things they do that we shouldn't know about.
00:38:24.600To which I say, maybe they shouldn't do those things.
00:38:27.800Maybe if you can't say out loud what you're doing, you should rethink that thing.
00:38:35.140Now, I realize that doesn't work at all in national security.
00:38:38.580When it comes to national security, the other team is, you know, your opponents are not being nice.
00:38:44.200So you want to use every tool you can if you're trying to protect your existence.
00:38:48.780But you can imagine a world in which full transparency could work.
00:39:28.860Like sometimes politics is just funny.
00:39:31.400I think it's funny that Trump bluffed him by offering two more like serious offers because they were based on, you know, a real media platform being ready to do it.
00:39:43.580But I don't think that Trump wants four debates.
00:39:48.040I think he just wants Biden to turn down two of them.
00:39:50.960So I keep telling you that Trump's campaign this time around is so flawless that you almost don't notice.
00:40:02.060Like you don't notice how good it is because there aren't any mistakes.
00:40:06.200So it's like they took the friction away or the contrast, I guess.
00:40:09.980If there was more contrast, like if you were doing some bad things, then maybe you'd say, oh, well, at least these are good things.
00:40:17.820But when all he does is the right thing, which is what he's doing.
00:40:21.240He's got the longest unbroken streak of no mistakes that I've seen in a long time.
00:40:27.700I mean, he is Trump is operating the chaos guy, you know, the reckless chaos guy.
00:40:34.340He's showing you a communication discipline.
00:42:37.760So the number one advice is go where your odds are best.
00:42:44.120Now, if I were advising a young black man or woman how to manage their career, I would say you should go toward a blue state and you should go toward big companies.
00:42:57.280Because big companies are just dying for more diversity.
00:43:00.220And they will discriminate in your favor.
00:43:09.400We'll do what we can, you know, to make that happen.
00:43:12.120So if you're a black man or woman in America, you should run toward wherever there are DEI programs, wherever they emphasize ESG, et cetera.
00:43:22.300That's probably true for any group that's not a white male.
00:43:26.820Probably DEI is, you know, if you're a woman, et cetera.
00:43:30.940However, my best advice is if you're a white man and these programs are specifically designed to benefit everybody but you, really, everybody but you, you should go where the DEI is the least.
00:43:50.660Now, I would love to have some state, probably some red state, just actually declare itself a DEI sanctuary and say, if you come here and anybody does any DEI stuff, they're going right to jail.
00:45:08.720Again, if you're not a white man in America, you should definitely go where the DEI programs are strong because they're there for your benefit.
00:45:18.200And that would be a good career move to be in a maximum DEI situation.
00:45:22.600If you're a white man, get the fuck away from all of that, if you can.
00:45:29.940If you have any way to get the fuck away from it, get the fuck away from it.
00:48:57.620There's some people that think that we're going to need universal basic income in the AI and robot age because so many jobs will be removed.
00:49:07.120They need to give somebody just a basic income to stay alive.
00:49:12.680And Musk says that it'll be a universal high income, not basic.
00:50:56.600In fact, I'm going to, he convinced me, Musk convinced me.
00:51:05.100Now, partly the reason he convinced me is he was right about all the other stuff.
00:51:09.220If he'd been wrong about the other stuff, then I might say something like, you know, maybe I'll go the other way.
00:51:16.300But I can feel this, that there will be a one-time universal change toward robots and AI.
00:51:25.100So human civilization will only do this once, where we're building a superior intellect that we hope will work with us and not destroy us.
00:51:32.840So to imagine there could be a hundred times gain in efficiency, which would make basically free money raining down on us forever.
00:51:42.740If you add fusion to robots and AI, you know, yeah, fusion energy, which I think we'll get to, and, or even if you assume that the robots will be efficient at building new solar plants and, and gigafactories to store the energy for night.
00:52:03.040Even if you just assume that all that's going to be efficient, even if you just assume that all that's going to happen is the robots will build us more energy, you really could get to universal high income.
00:52:12.660I'm going to back him on this prediction.
00:52:29.800There's a report that a, an Iranian helicopter that allegedly carried the president of Iran and his, uh, leaders, uh, was lost in the fog, lost in the fog.
