Summary
It's my birthday today, and as some of you already know, it's a pretty big deal that I'm 67 years old. And let me tell you, a perspective of my age is really different than I thought it would be.

00:00:00.000
All right. Well, welcome to Coffee with Scott Adams, the best place in the world. If you'd
00:00:06.100
like to take this experience, this Saturday experience, up to levels that nobody can even
00:00:10.540
understand with their smooth, tiny human brains, all you need for that is a cuppa, a mug, or a
00:00:15.640
glass, a tank, or gels, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your
00:00:20.860
favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine. At the end of
00:00:26.140
the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous sip and happens.
00:00:29.560
Now go. Oh, so good. So, so good. Well, as some of you already know, apparently, it's my birthday,
00:00:44.780
67 years young today. And let me tell you, let me give you some perspective.
00:00:56.140
of my age is really different than I thought it would be. I don't know what I expected about
00:01:05.360
being this age, but it's not anything like I imagined it to be. It's way better. You know,
00:01:10.840
it has its challenges, of course, but it's way better than you think it would be. So if you're
00:01:16.140
25 and you're saying, oh, no, it's going to be so terrible when I'm in my 60s, maybe, I mean,
00:01:23.520
can't guarantee anything, but there are plenty of people my age who are happier than they've ever
00:01:28.400
been, which defies all observation and common sense. But there it is. It's true.
00:01:35.200
Well, I don't, I'm not the only person with the birthday today. I share the birthday with
00:01:42.920
Kanye, yay, and also Ashley Biden. I think, well, I think so anyway. Let me tell you a little story
00:01:55.140
about yesterday that's going to make you happy or potentially. So I've got to reframe where I
00:02:03.940
start to understand my moods as being simply dopamine shortages. Now it might be some other
00:02:10.220
chemical, but I just use dopamine as the catch-all. So yesterday I had a really long day, started to
00:02:16.600
work at, I don't know, 3.30 in the morning, something like that. Not too unusual for me.
00:02:21.480
And I was really just hitting it all day long. And I didn't do any exercise. I went to ride my e-bike
00:02:29.900
that, you know, I planned my whole day around it. And just when I was ready to go, I had the tires
00:02:36.620
filled. I accidentally ripped the stem out of the tire and, well, that was the end of my exercise
00:02:43.140
plans. So I found myself suddenly in this deep, deep funk. You know, some would call it a depression.
00:02:55.000
Some would say sad. Some would say I have no energy. But I've started to define it as simply
00:03:00.560
as being low on dopamine. And when you do that, it tells you how to fix it. So I'm sitting there and
00:03:08.020
I'm thinking, oh God, you know, I just want to like fall off a cliff. Somewhat instantly, you know,
00:03:14.020
because the rest of my day was great. But just when the dopamine hit that level where it's just too
00:03:18.960
low, you just can't be happy. So thanks to a lifetime of habit building, I managed to engineer
00:03:28.860
my way out. And I did it a little bit at a time. First is, how do you even get out of your chair?
00:03:36.780
So for that, I use the pinky trick. If you can move your pinky, you can probably move your hand.
00:03:42.820
If you can move your hand, your arm will move. And then you can stand up. So you just get yourself
00:03:46.920
going by moving the smallest muscle and let that build. So that's how you get up. Now, that's just
00:03:55.300
a trick. Now, luckily I had enough mental, you know, mental wherewithal that I knew that I could
00:04:01.240
use the trick. So now I'm up. So the first thing I know is that motion creates dopamine. So I've got
00:04:08.440
to walk. I got to at least walk around, do a chore or something like that. So I decided I'll walk around
00:04:13.820
and look for my dog and I'll give her some love because, you know, I can get a little dopamine from
00:04:20.240
that. So now I'm up. I'm moving. That's dopamine. Playing with the dog. That's dopamine. And then,
00:04:27.880
you know, I'm just getting more active and doing a bunch of things and eating some food that wasn't
00:04:32.400
bad for me. And next thing you know, all good. So it was as simple as identifying that I was low on a
00:04:43.580
chemical and then saying, what causes that chemical to go up? Oh, I can go outdoors. So I went outdoors
00:04:51.420
and it was exactly the way it was supposed to work. If you do these things, your dopamine goes up
00:04:59.020
and then your mind fixes itself. It was exactly the way it was supposed to work. So I recommend that.
00:05:08.620
Move your pinky to get up, do some moving, grab a dog, go outside, eat something that's healthy.
00:05:16.800
You might know that my book, God's Debris, is now out. And this is, if you've heard the name
00:05:25.140
God's Debris before, because it's a classic that I wrote a few decades ago, back when it was this
00:05:31.060
little book, it now includes the little book plus the bigger book, well, not the bigger book, but the
00:05:36.360
sequel, plus a new short story that completes the arc. Now, I don't want to brag. That's a lie.
00:05:47.920
I love to brag. I just like to make it look like I couldn't help it. So you know how if you win a
00:05:55.300
Nobel Prize, you might, maybe you just have one good year that you win the Nobel Prize. You're always
00:06:02.020
a Nobel Prize winner. If you win an Academy Award, even if it's just one movie in one role. Well,
00:06:09.700
you're always an Academy Award winner. Am I right? That's just the way it works. Well, it works that
00:06:16.140
way with books, too. If you're ever a number one bestseller, you're always a bestselling author.
00:06:23.820
They can never take it away from you. And with God's Debris, it's in many different categories,
00:06:29.240
because it spreads across philosophy and science fiction and metaphysics and religion. And it's
00:06:37.440
like five, six different categories. And I was checking out how it was doing. It's number one
00:06:42.440
in all of its relevant categories already. But one of the categories was the same category that Amazon
00:06:49.520
puts the Holy Bible. So for just a little while, my book was number one on one of the Amazon lists
00:06:59.720
that included the Bible, which was running at number eight.
00:07:05.900
So I mean, I don't want to get ahead of myself. But as a factual matter,
00:07:10.440
I'm just going to state it as factual. I don't want to add any hyperbole to it.
00:07:16.060
But for a short period of time, I sold more books than God. Now, I'm not saying not overall,
00:07:26.340
not overall. Overall, God beats me like hands down. It's like a billion to one, right? But just for
00:07:33.440
a moment, just that little slice of time, sold more books than God. So I just want to put that out
00:07:43.940
there. You can never take that away from me, just like anything else. All right. Oh, by the way,
00:07:51.960
if you tried to order the book, the hardcover, it's going to tell you that it's not available
00:07:55.940
to December, but that's a glitch. It is available. We'll fix the glitch. You could wait for that.
00:08:03.500
But I think you'd be fine ordering it anyway, because the glitch will get fixed and you'll get
00:08:07.880
it faster than December. Should only take a week or something like that. Anyway, the CEO of Zoom wants
00:08:15.120
to create AI digital clones that can go to meetings for you. So you'll have a digital clone and you just
00:08:22.500
do a Zoom call and you don't even have to be there. Your clone will do it. Now, is it my imagination or
00:08:31.480
as reality finally caught up to Dilbert Comics? Because I'm pretty sure I've done this Dilbert
00:08:36.900
comic a few times. In various forms, Wally has figured out how to use AI and remote work to not
00:08:47.200
work. So yes, in Dilbert's world, they will be creating a Zoom AI before the actual Zoom company
00:08:55.840
does. Probably as early as this coming week. Well, meanwhile, the American College of Pediatricians
00:09:05.440
just put out a statement saying that they're calling on all the major medical associations
00:09:11.320
and they name them each by name to stop doing the gender transition stuff. And they said,
00:09:19.520
immediately stop the promotion of social affirmation, puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones,
00:09:25.120
and surgeries for children, blah, blah, blah. And the reasoning is that the science is coming in
00:09:30.720
and the science seems to suggest fairly unambiguously that the childhood transitions
00:09:37.280
are more bad than good. Now, here's what I'd like to suggest. I wonder if you've noticed a trend.
00:09:47.280
Have you noticed a trend where the idiots on the X platform are three years ahead of the
00:09:54.860
highest, most qualified scientists and healthcare professionals in the world?
00:10:00.380
That's not my imagination, right? Because, correct me if I'm wrong, every idiot on social media knew
00:10:08.760
this was a bad idea and knew it was bad for kids. And it took science how many years? How many years did
00:10:17.040
it take science to figure out this was a bad idea? Maybe you should cut it out? And it's not like
00:10:22.880
that's the only example where the people on X as sort of an average got the right answer years before the
00:10:30.880
experts. You want to hear another one? Nuclear power. Nuclear energy is now acceptable basically to everybody.
00:10:40.560
And the greenies are loving it. They're lapping it up. That took X probably five years of people who
00:10:49.440
just sort of looked into it on their own, you know, plus listening to people who are smarter than us,
00:10:54.320
you know. And we got it right. So X was maybe three to five years ahead of, you know,
00:11:04.480
the people who are supposed to be smart on this topic. How about the pandemic? Now we know what
00:11:12.620
science did versus what the people on X just sort of guessed was true. The people were just guessing
00:11:21.200
collectively. Now I'm using that for hyperbole. They were doing their own research as well. But
00:11:28.240
the average person on X got the right answers about the pandemic way before the experts.
00:11:34.000
Why? Because science isn't science anymore. It's just followed the money.
00:11:38.880
If you ever thought science was real, maybe it was, you know, back when Newton was doing it.
00:11:45.520
Galileo, that was probably pretty real. But now it's just whatever your boss wants to fund,
00:11:50.880
you know, whatever you can get a grant for. So at the moment, science is completely broken.
00:11:55.440
But the collective wisdom of social media on X at least is picking up the slack. So the rabble,
00:12:06.720
you know, the unwashed masses were right about trans kids, transitioning kids too early.
1.00
00:12:14.880
Nuclear power, right about the pandemic. I wonder if they'll be right about anything else.
00:12:20.560
How about our food supply? Do you think the experts have come out and said, whoa, whoa, whoa,
00:12:26.560
stop eating all this wheat and stop eating these processed foods? Well, we do hear experts saying
00:12:32.560
that. But you know what our experts haven't said? Stop eating this shit. It's poison.
00:12:39.600
But on the internet, we say that, right? Where's your nutritionist who says,
00:12:45.200
no, don't ever eat ice cream? No, one Diet Coke a week is not good for you. Zero is the right number.
00:12:53.600
Right? No. I would say that even though there's a, there's more of a Venn, you know, crossover in this
00:13:00.000
case, I would say the public is way ahead of the science on nutrition and probably has been for a long
00:13:06.480
time. Probably has been. Um, they we've, there's also a study that says that, uh, the fewer calories
00:13:17.120
you eat, the longer you live. So that just came out to which everybody on the internet said, um,
00:13:24.720
you've been telling us that for what, 20 or 30 years. That's one of the oldest, most well-known
00:13:30.480
scientific facts that if you starve mice, as long as they're not starved to death, they live longer.
00:13:36.880
We all knew that. You know how else I knew it without any science? I've never seen a fat 80 year old.
00:13:46.320
And we're done. How much science do you need if you've never seen a fucking fat 80 year old?
00:13:52.000
Do you have to really wonder if the weight is going to kill you? Obviously you've never even seen
00:13:58.720
a fat 80 year old, which brings me to Dick Van Dyke who just got a Emmy at the age of 98,
00:14:05.360
which is awesome. How fat is 98 year old Dick Van Dyke? Not at all. He has zero fat on him
00:14:18.480
Because if he were 300 pounds, he wouldn't be with us winning any Emmys at age 98.
00:14:23.520
So if the public has been a head of science and all those things, which I think you'd agree with me,
00:14:31.840
what about the public's view on climate change? Now, when I say the public, I mean,
00:14:38.000
sort of the, the people on X that I interact with, they've been saying climate change is sketchy for
00:14:44.240
a long time. Do you think they're right? Of course they are. Of course they are. I don't
00:14:49.600
know if the warm planet's getting warmer. That's, you know, separate question from whether the science
00:14:54.480
is BS. The science is definitely BS, but maybe the, maybe at the same time, coincidentally,
00:15:00.400
the earth is getting warmer, but the, the, the climate models are absurd. How long will it take
00:15:07.760
before science tells you, you know, we can't really do anything with this number of variables?
00:15:12.960
You can't, you can't really figure out what's happening in the future. Nobody can tell the
00:15:16.960
future. Yeah. It'll take a few years, but they'll get there. And about election denial. So the experts
00:15:25.440
are telling us that the election had to be clean because every time somebody took something to court,
00:15:32.240
they were rejected for a cause for, you know, usually standing or something like that. So
00:15:38.640
the people who are the smart people are telling us that you can know something doesn't exist
00:15:43.600
via the process of not looking for it. Now that sounds ridiculous, but it's something that no regular
00:15:50.480
person thinks is true. Only the experts say it. All the people on TV, the ones who are telling us
00:15:56.560
what's true. Yeah. We, we know there's, there's no rigging because we didn't look for it.
00:16:02.240
Now I'm exaggerating a little bit, but not a lot. That's basically what's happening. So I think the
00:16:10.720
public's going to be ahead on election security and climate change and already ahead on all those other
00:16:17.200
things. And right now, this is amazing. Just try to wrap your head around this next story in the context
00:16:29.360
of what I just told you. This is a new story. I swear to God, this is today.
00:16:36.080
US doctors are coordinating to look into if the unusual spike in cancer after the pandemic is
00:16:43.520
caused by the vaccinations. To which few say, wait a minute, what? Are you only just now thinking that
00:16:51.840
the excess deaths need to be looked into in the context of the vaccinations?
00:16:57.120
That's something that the general public has been screaming about for the whole time.
00:17:03.360
And the doctors are just like, you know what? I've got an idea. Why don't we look into whether
00:17:09.040
the vaccinations are causing any of this excess deaths? What is wrong with the world that the,
00:17:15.360
the experts are just consistently way behind the public?
00:17:18.320
And so they're banding together to research that. Okay. Here's what I'd like to know.
00:17:30.720
I have an alternative hypothesis. I do think the vaccinations causing excess deaths hypothesis
00:17:37.920
is a strong hypothesis. I would consider it not proven largely because I don't believe any data that I
00:17:44.720
ever see about the pandemic. Um, but I wouldn't be surprised. I mean, it's well within the top three
00:17:53.520
possibilities of what's going on, right? One possibility is that the data is wrong. You know,
00:17:59.920
maybe there's something about how we counted things before the pandemic that changed. I don't know.
00:18:10.240
another possibility that I haven't seen anybody else mentioned. I think that when the food supply was at
00:18:18.560
risk and it looked like the food supply was going to collapse, I think either farmers got more creative
00:18:27.840
or the government made them be more creative in doing whatever they could to boost production because
00:18:33.680
it looked like we'd have a problem. One of those things that boosts production is using a, a weed killer.
00:18:42.640
So you kill the wheat. So it, I guess that dries it out faster so you can harvest it faster.
00:18:47.760
So instead of just letting the wheat, you know, grow its normal way and then getting it when it's ready,
00:18:53.280
they sort of kill it with weed killer. So there's ready earlier.
00:18:57.920
Now, some say that that weed killer is the reason that you can't eat wheat in the United States without
00:19:02.800
inflammation and other problems. But if you went to Europe where they don't do that,
00:19:07.360
you won't have that problem. Now, knowing what I know about just the way systems and governments and
00:19:14.480
businesses work, don't you think there was pressure from the government on farmers, at least the big
00:19:21.600
farmers to make sure that they did everything they could do and maybe even bend some, bend some rules.
00:19:28.720
Maybe they, maybe they got permission to use more of that. Maybe they went a little hard on it
00:19:34.560
because they could maybe. So I would look into the, any change in the food supply that happened at the
00:19:41.200
same time as the pandemic, because we know our food is killing us. So if something changed because of the
00:19:47.760
supply uncertainty, which would be a normal thing to expect, supply uncertainty should cause you to
00:19:55.680
loosen up your restrictions to make sure you have supply because that would seem like a bigger
00:20:00.400
priority than, you know, maybe there's some problem with the supply.
00:20:03.280
just a hypothesis. Ontario, the wait is over. The gold standard of online casinos has arrived.

00:21:10.880
have TDS now support Trump. I'll give you some examples. You got your David Sachs, your Chamath,
00:21:16.960
Paulette, your Elon Musk, your Russell Brand. What do they all have in common? Used to be Democrats.
00:21:23.680
What else do they have in common? They're the smart ones. They're the ones who are not drawn entirely by
00:21:30.480
picking a side. They're the ones who can look at a startup and say, this is a good investment or not.
00:21:37.360
They're the logical ones. And I was thinking to myself, okay, I keep hearing all these examples,
00:21:43.440
you know, Bill Ackman, one of the Blackstone people, some other, a couple other VCs have
00:21:50.240
recently come on board. Yeah, those are just the ones they mentioned. I mean, when Sachs did his big
00:21:56.400
fundraiser in San Francisco, of all places, for Trump, he had a huge turnout and sold out. And the
00:22:03.360
people there were there to donate to Trump. And he would be, he would have been picking from the
00:22:09.680
richest, smartest people in Silicon Valley. Now, you're going to say to me, but Scott,
00:22:16.080
it works both ways. It's not just people who have been lifelong Democrats. And by the way,
00:22:21.200
I'm one of those. I'm a lifelong Democrat who I can't even consider voting for Biden. That would be
00:22:28.160
ridiculous. But people say, but it must work both ways, right? Surely there are people who are
00:22:35.600
Republicans who are now all in for Biden. For example, there's Anthony Scaramucci.
00:22:46.320
So Anthony Scaramucci, who got fired in his first week from the White House, I'm not sure I'm going to
00:22:53.760
count somebody who got fired by the person he doesn't want to vote for. Right? If somebody fires
00:22:59.280
you, your odds of voting for them go way down. So it's always like a special case. When you see a
00:23:06.320
Republican defecting to vote Democrat, you're like, I think maybe there's something else going on there.
00:23:12.880
But when you see the Democrats defect to being Trump supporters, at least for now,
00:23:18.800
that's not based on emotion. That's based on analysis. And it's going to be harder and harder to
00:23:26.480
miss that all the smart people are on the same side. Now, if you have a counter example, I'd love to
00:23:34.400
see it. For example, is Rob Reiner one of the smart people? No. Is Stephen King one of the smart people?
00:23:42.960
Well, based on his posting on X, no. So there are plenty of people who are famous who don't like
00:23:51.280
Trump. But how many of them would you say are objectively smart? Now, there are a whole bunch
00:23:57.680
of smart people that you think might vote Democrat, but they're kind of quiet, kind of quiet. Let me pick
00:24:05.600
one. Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett, lifelong Democrat. Has he been talking about how much
00:24:13.360
he loves Biden and you better vote for him? I don't think I've heard that. No. Now, he's not super
00:24:20.080
political. So that's not it's not unusual that he wouldn't. But if you if you talk to Warren Buffett
00:24:26.320
behind closed doors, who do you think he supports? Who do you think? Now, I don't know. But there's
00:24:36.640
nobody smart. That I'm aware of literally nobody. Smart supporting him. Now, I say that partly to be
00:24:50.320
provocative. Because it'll cause people to say, what about this person? And what about that person?
00:24:58.240
But I want to have that conversation. If I'm wrong, I'd actually like to know that that would change my
00:25:03.440
thinking a little bit. If I found out that the people that I thought were the smartest people
00:25:09.680
were on the other side for me, I usually change my mind. If Alan Dershowitz disagreed with me,
00:25:16.080
I'd think about that hard. But he doesn't. Smart, lifelong Democrat? Nope.
00:25:26.000
How do I make that stop? I'm getting birthday wishes during the show, and that's going to be a
00:25:31.920
problem. All right. What about Bill Maher? Now, Bill Maher, I consider smart. I know that if we want
00:25:38.560
to be political, you like to think everybody who disagrees with you is dumb. But he's clearly smart.
00:25:43.840
However, he has the worst case of TDS any of us have ever seen. So that goes to my point. That if
00:25:52.400
you're smart and not having a mental problem, or you weren't personally fired by him, you're all on
00:25:59.520
the same side now. You really are. The exceptions are as funny as the ones that are more clear, I guess.
00:26:08.720
So here's something that Bill Maher said on the show. He said, Trump is winning on the border.
00:26:14.400
But he pointed out that that doesn't make sense. He acted like the Republicans are being irrational
00:26:20.320
for supporting Trump on the border because he says it was Trump's big issue and he failed to build the
00:26:26.080
wall. And that was his signature thing. So smart guy, Bill Maher, thinks it makes sense to say
00:26:34.240
that he doesn't understand why they would vote for Trump when he didn't get this done the first time.
00:26:42.320
Bill, do you know why it didn't get done the first time?
00:26:45.600
That was the Democrats that stopped it. It wasn't the Republicans. Bill, you do this for a living.
00:26:55.440
How can you say that was Trump's fault? Now, if you were to say, but why would it be different this
00:27:01.040
time? Well, I don't know that it'll be different this time, but I know that John Fetterman might vote
00:27:06.320
for the fucking wall. Do you hear me? I'm pretty sure that what seemed like a crazy wall idea to
00:27:15.760
all Democrats before now sounds like a much better idea suddenly, doesn't it? Doesn't that wall idea
00:27:22.480
look pretty good now? So Bill, everything's changed toward the direction that would make it possible to
00:27:29.680
build the wall. You got one person who's balls to the wall on the wall. One person who tried to tear
00:27:36.240
it down, well, did, got rid of all the EOs. How is this a hard decision? And why are you confused,
00:27:44.800
Bill Maher, that any Republican would want the person who's going to try really, really hard to get it done
00:27:50.960
in a new environment in which it's probably possible now? Is that a clear-headed analysis by him?
00:28:00.000
It's not. It's crazy. But he limits his crazy to just like this domain, because this obviously
00:28:08.640
feels personal in some way, I guess. But he does say, he says, I know Biden has a bad memory,
00:28:18.880
but he can't expect the American people to forget four years of calling Trump's border policies and
00:28:23.360
wall a racist, and four years of tearing down Trump's border policies for more migrant-friendly
00:28:28.320
policies. So he's, at least Bill Maher understands that the border needs to be closed, right? Again,
00:28:36.560
he's a smart person. He just has this weird TDS about Trump. All right, I'm going to do the last
00:28:42.880
smart person who favors Trump. You ready? Here's a quote from Putin. Putin said, and he's talking
00:28:52.080
about the lawfare against Trump. He says, it is obvious all over the world that the prosecution
00:28:57.440
of Trump is simply the utilization of the judicial system during an internal political struggle.
00:29:03.680
There are supposed leadership in the sphere of democracy is being burned to the ground.
00:29:07.680
God, I wish we had a president who could talk as well as our enemy.
00:29:21.440
Do you think Putin summed it up pretty well there? Yeah, he did. Is he our enemy, so we should be
00:29:29.440
careful what he says? Yes, yes. Of course, he says things for effect, not just because he thinks they're
00:29:35.200
true. So you don't want to side with Putin here. I don't want to become a Russian puppet. But do you
00:29:43.360
think that other leaders are having maybe similar thoughts? How could they not? How could any leader
00:29:52.080
in any civilized country be looking at what's happening here and have any thought that that's
00:29:57.840
anything but the end of democracy? Or at least, you know, a body blow? Yeah, we all see it now.
00:30:16.160
If you're watching the show, please don't. Please don't message me right now. I'm using my phone
00:30:30.560
for the show. All right. So this Just the News is reporting, the website Just the News. There's a
00:30:41.280
federal court in Texas that ordered the Department of Agriculture to stop discriminating against farmers
00:30:47.760
on the basis of race and sex when awarding disaster relief.
00:30:55.120
Now, it wasn't long ago when you saw this story, you would think, whoa, they're really discriminating
00:31:00.720
against, you know, black farmers and, you know, maybe LGBTQ farmers or something. But it's the opposite.
1.00
00:31:07.920
They were doing their disaster relief specifically targeted toward black farmers. Now, there was a
00:31:13.920
there was a historical justification. So it's sort of in the reparations domain. There is some history
00:31:23.120
of black farmers being totally screwed by the government. So I think that's a real thing, historically,
00:31:29.280
that the black farmers were totally screwed. So I think this was a an attempt to compensate for that.
1.00
00:31:36.640
But it's racist. Because the white farmers aren't getting
0.57
00:31:45.360
emergency aid, disaster relief. Since when do we do disaster relief based on race?
00:31:52.320
That's so wrong. Even though I get the justification, I get the justification. And they're probably living
00:32:00.800
people who are, you know, were impacted by that discrimination of the past. So that's a real
00:32:06.800
thing. I take that seriously. But no, you don't deny disaster relief to white people in the modern times
00:32:13.120
to make up for that. There's got to be something else, but not that. So anyway,
00:32:21.600
I feel like there that white people, white men especially, are living through this weird period of
00:32:28.480
discrimination that doesn't have a label. Like we say, it's wokeness and DEI. But it needs some kind of
00:32:37.040
like a Jim Crow kind of a name, you know, where everybody's like, ah, that's Jim Crow's situation.
00:32:43.760
But it needs, I think I'd call it the Scott Adams situation. Jim Crow's taken.
00:32:48.960
Jim Crow, by the way, I believe was a minstrel character who acted stereotypically, you know, racist,
00:32:59.440
black. So that's, that's where that law came from. Or that's where the, the name for the law came from.
00:33:06.800
Anyway, Don Lemon had a podcast with Sam Harris. And I recommend it. It was really interesting,
00:33:16.880
especially one part where Don Lemon was arguing that there's, you know, massive discrimination
00:33:23.120
against black people still in this country. And you can see it easily by the few black CEOs.
1.00
00:33:31.120
Sam Harris said, um, we actually live in a, I'm paraphrasing of course, in a time where it's
00:33:37.520
a gigantic advantage to be a black person applying for a job. And he had to explain it to Don Lemon.
00:33:43.840
And I don't think Don Lemon had ever heard it before. So he'd been living in a country where
00:33:48.880
he thought that he was being discriminated against for 30 years when it had been aggressively the
00:33:54.160
opposite for 30 years and never noticed. Well, I noticed when I kept losing all my jobs.
00:34:02.160
Are there any white men who've noticed in the last 30 years that the system is aggressively
00:34:08.560
against white men and any white men who've maybe noticed, but Don Lemon didn't know that.
00:34:16.320
What was his job? I believe his job was to tell you the news and he didn't know probably the biggest
00:34:23.360
dynamic in the corporate world that white men were being passed over for 30 years for promotion.
00:34:30.800
So Sam Harris did a good job of dismantling that belief, um, while he stood there, just
00:34:38.720
sort of not knowing how to respond. And I thought that was really amazing. So remember,
00:34:46.320
I told you that all the smart people are pro Trump, unless they have TDS.
00:34:52.640
Is Sam Harris a smart person? Yes. Yes. You can say whatever you want about his Trump stuff,
00:34:59.280
because that's pure TDS. We all see it. You don't have to be a professional. You don't need a degree
00:35:04.880
in psychology to watch Sam, Sam Harris talk and to know that there's something going on there that's
00:35:11.680
outside the realm of reason. But in every other realm, he's often the smartest guy in the room. So
00:35:22.560
even when there's an exception, the exception has the obvious reason for it, which is TDS. But all the
00:35:28.400
smart people who don't have TDS are on the same side at this point. All right, here's something
00:35:33.440
that you're not going to like, but I finally figured out how to say it. So you'll be a little
00:35:37.600
less bad. I saw the end wokeness account who I recommend very much. I retweet his stuff and talk
00:35:44.480
about it all the time. End wokeness is the name of the account. If you follow me and you're also an ex,
00:35:52.720
you definitely want to follow that account. It's just one of the most high value accounts.
00:35:57.440
End wokeness, all one word. Anyway, you've shown some statistics. And if you were to rank
00:36:05.600
what demographics have the highest percentage of single parents, according to this statistic,
00:36:12.480
black families, 64% of them have a single parent, Latino 42, white 24, Asian 16.
00:36:19.760
And that matches up perfectly with incarceration rates. They follow that same pattern. But it also
00:36:28.320
is, and it also follows the inverse by income. So the more likely you are to have two parents,
00:36:35.840
the higher your income, the more likely to have one parent, the more likely you're in jail.
00:36:40.240
So here's my point. The implication of this is that marriage is so strongly correlated with success
00:36:59.920
that people should get married more, right? Does that make sense to you? How many of you would you
00:37:05.760
agree if we have the clearest, clear signal that married people, they live longer? They actually
00:37:12.320
live longer. They have better health, more income, less jail, just everything. The numbers are
00:37:20.240
overwhelmingly obvious every time it's been measured. So therefore we should encourage more
00:37:25.040
marriage. Do you agree? How many would agree with the statement we should encourage more marriage
00:37:30.560
because it's so correlated with success? Oh, I've primed you too well. You're too good.
00:37:40.320
I think now you're all the smart ones. You're the smart ones. You're the elite now.
00:37:45.840
Yeah. Here's what's wrong with it. Let me give you some other examples that sound like this to my mind.
00:37:53.680
It's better to be tall because tall people earn more money and have more mating options.
1.00
00:38:00.240
Therefore, we should encourage people to be taller.
00:38:05.120
Are you good with that? Now you're going to say to me, but Scott, that's not practical.
00:38:10.400
A person can't just get taller. That's my point. That's my point. Let me take another way you maybe
00:38:19.760
could understand why the people who are the single parents also have the lowest income and things are
00:38:27.280
going wrong. Don't you think there's a correlation between who you'd want to marry and who you'd be
00:38:34.720
willing to hire? Tell me those aren't the same thing. You can't. It's the same sorting. It's the
00:38:43.120
same filter. I mean, not exactly the same, but the Venn diagram is pretty overlapping.
00:38:50.000
Isn't the most reasonable thing you could ever believe. Let me put it in funnier terms. You'll
00:38:57.200
remember it if I put it in the joke. If nobody wants to marry you, who the wants to hire you?
0.99
00:39:06.400
Am I right? And I'm going to add another thing. Do you know why people are single?
00:39:12.880
Do you think they chose it? Do you think they chose to be single? No. Let me speak from
00:39:19.120
personal experience as a single person. I'm single because nobody wants to marry me.
00:39:24.240
It wasn't my choice. It was a choice of approximately three and a half billion women.
1.00
00:39:32.320
They all got together and decided, no, thanks. Don't want any of that. Now I'm exaggerating a
00:39:38.000
little bit. I'm sure I could find somebody in the bush in some remote country who didn't know enough
00:39:44.480
about me. No, the obvious correlation is that there's something wrong with the individuals.
00:39:53.200
Not genetic and not cultural. I'm just saying there's something wrong, but it doesn't have to do with
00:40:03.680
that marriage is good or marriage is bad. My take is this. Marriage is the best system for about 25% of
0.75
00:40:11.360
the public. If they're lucky enough to find that one great person. Have you seen the on social media,
00:40:18.400
there are all these people doing really the same content in which they say, all right,
00:40:23.760
women all say they want a guy over six feet tall and makes six figures and blah, blah, blah. And then
1.00
00:40:29.600
they do the math and they find that the number of men who are single and the right marriageable age
00:40:35.120
and over six feet tall and have that income ends up to be like 1% or some crazy number.
00:40:48.560
It's before you add personality. It's before you add mental illness.
00:41:00.160
Right? So we've created a world where we're completely unhappy with each other,
00:41:06.640
which doesn't have to do with your genes or your culture. We've individually become terrible.
00:41:11.760
And I'm not saying, you know, sometimes you hear me say that women have gotten worse,
00:41:18.080
but so have men. I mean, I don't know how you'd compare the two in their worseness,
00:41:23.040
but we have individually become unfuckable and unmarriageable. All of us. We're all unmarriageable.
00:41:31.600
And part of it is weight. Part of it is we're on our phones. Part of it is we all have mental illness
00:41:37.120
from our phones. Part of it is we don't seem to have as, or we don't feel like we have as much
00:41:42.320
economic opportunity. We've just become people that nobody wants to marry. So just telling us
00:41:48.720
that marriage is a better deal than being single won't do anything. It's like telling you to be tall.
00:41:53.680
What do I do about it? So I agree with you. Having a perfect partner in a long-term relationship,
00:42:01.600
best thing going. And I see all the relationship experts saying stuff like,
00:42:07.920
your number one decision, the best thing you have to get right is your marriage. Because you want the
00:42:13.760
person who's loyal forever and is definitely rooting for you to succeed and all that.
00:42:22.400
I was watching another marriage expert. So here's the battle of the dueling marriage experts.
00:42:27.680
One expert saying your most important thing is to find a woman who supports you and is your
00:42:33.200
greatest supporter. Because if you get divorced, you wrecked forever, basically.
00:42:38.800
At the same time, another relationship expert, a woman, said that she didn't used to believe that
00:42:45.200
women would try to destroy the success of their own partner. But now she does, because it's just too
1.00
00:42:52.160
obvious. So her view is that women try to tear down their partner so their partner won't feel too good
1.00
00:43:00.240
about themselves and find another partner. That in other words, the natural way of marriage is for the
00:43:06.240
woman to fatten up her husband so he can't get another girlfriend, to tell him he's trash, and to make sure
1.00
00:43:14.320
that he thinks he can't do better. Now, I've heard that husbands can do the same things to their wives.
0.98
00:43:21.040
But we've created a civilization and a set of whole bunch of different variables within our society
00:43:31.120
that make marriage a really bad idea, but only because it made people bad. We're just not the
00:43:37.840
same people we used to be. And on top of that, since we see all the Instagrammers and the beautiful people,
00:43:46.640
we think, my goodness, can I do better than that? I've been looking at these these hotties all day
1.00
00:43:51.360
long and then I go to the mall and I don't see them. Where are they?
00:43:58.640
And that, ladies and gentlemen, brings me to all except one thing you wanted me to mention,
00:44:05.600
which is there's a story about a juror on the the Trump trial. It looks like maybe my notes didn't
00:44:12.800
all print out. It seemed a little short today because I know that was on my notes, but disappeared.
00:44:20.880
So I believe that that's a hoax. I believe it's a hoax.
00:44:27.520
Has that been confirmed yet? So the idea was that Judge Mershon became aware that there was a social
00:44:33.840
media Facebook post from some stranger who said they were the cousin of a jurist and that the jurist
00:44:40.320
indicated they'd made up a decision before the jury was over, which means they would have talked to
00:44:44.240
him about it, which would have been a mistrial, which would have been a free trial, free Trump.
00:44:49.120
But the person involved appears to be a famous shit poster and there doesn't seem to be any
00:44:56.720
substance to it. So if you're getting excited about that, I'd say tone that down a little bit.
00:45:02.160
Tone it down a little bit. I feel like. How did all those notes disappear?
00:45:15.280
Oh, there's a. Oh, yeah, here's some other stuff.
00:45:19.440
So Jake Paul and Mike Tyson had their fight rescheduled. I guess Tyson had some medical stuff.
00:45:26.080
You had to delay the fight. So it's late until November 15th. And the way Tyson posted it, he said,
00:45:34.400
there's a new date for Jake's wake, new date for Jake's wake. Well, why do I why do I like Mike Tyson?
00:45:43.760
Why does everybody seem to like Mike Tyson? He's sort of the ultimate bad guy. I mean, he's done bad
00:45:49.760
things. You beat up people for a living and sometimes for fun. And, you know, I won't get
00:45:55.200
into the other accusations, but there is something. There's just something sympathetic about him
00:46:03.440
that I can't put my finger on because I I'm also fascinated by him. He's always been one of my
00:46:09.200
favorite public personalities. And I, you know, I never felt proud of that because he's done some bad
00:46:15.920
stuff. But I do like watching him and I'll probably watch this fight. It's going to be on Netflix,
00:46:20.880
November 15. Well, there's a 90 year old pilot, William Anders. He was one of the astronauts. He took
00:46:30.560
the famous Earthrise photo back in whenever he was on Apollo 8 and he crashed his plane.
00:46:37.760
Wait, he was flying a plane at 90 and he crashed it. So we don't know the details of that, but I don't
00:46:53.280
think maybe he should have been flying the plane at 90. I don't know. I don't know how that works.
00:47:00.400
Yeah. Yeah. And the video, it looked like I couldn't tell from the video because it's a video
00:47:07.120
of him hitting the water and what looks like a lake or a harbor or something. And it looked like
00:47:12.960
he might have been attempting a loop or something and it didn't work out. Was he doing a trick?
00:47:20.560
It looked like he was maybe trying to do a trick and it didn't work. Or maybe he lost some power and
00:47:26.080
couldn't couldn't recover in time. But when he hit the water, he was trying to come back up.
00:47:31.200
He just got too low. Probably overweight, somebody says. Well, I'll bet you he wasn't fat
00:47:39.200
because he was 90. Have you heard about the trans whistleblower? He's not trans. He's rather a
0.99
00:47:47.600
doctor, Eaton Heim. And so he blew the whistle on a Texas Children's Hospital that is doing secret
00:47:57.280
sex change programs. Meaning secret from the parents. I think that's what that meant.
00:48:05.120
And he blew the whistle on him. Public was outraged. And of course, the Biden administration
00:48:10.480
immediately sent their goons to arrest him. Now, I think what he's being arrested for is violating,
00:48:18.400
I don't know, some health care or HIPAA confidentiality or something. But again,
00:48:23.920
I don't think the general public sees it as anything but lawfare against people they don't like.
00:48:29.200
I don't think that his arrest is legitimate. He might have broken some laws, technically.
00:48:38.000
But it looks like bullshit to me. So he's got to he's got to go fund me. You might want to think
00:48:44.160
about that. All right. Oh, yeah, there's my note about the troll.
00:48:51.920
Trump was talking about his successful fundraising with David Sachs and the folks in San Francisco.
00:48:59.280
But the way he describes it in his Trumpian way, has anybody reached this determination yourself,
00:49:07.520
that things that seem too far when Trump came on the scene, it's like that's too much bragging
00:49:13.360
or that's that's too much exaggeration. It now just seems funny and quaint and just part of his personality.
00:49:21.920
The wilder the things he says, as long as they're within within the Trump framework, you know,
00:49:28.240
things that Trump says, I love all of them. Yeah, I just love it when he stretches reality.
00:49:34.720
But this this is like a beauty. This is the most Trumpian. This is the Trumpiest Trumpy
00:49:41.920
you'll ever get. So he's talking about that fundraiser. And of course, it was all the
00:49:45.760
the smartest people in Silicon Valley. And he goes, quote, these are brilliant guys, AI guys.
00:49:52.000
So, yeah, Trump, Trump, not only, you know, it's no surprise for his age, of course,
00:50:06.240
but he's not like a technology savant or anything. But the way he simplifies, he's the best simplifier
00:50:16.880
of all time. These are brilliant guys, AI guys. And they're not really even AI guys.
00:50:24.800
You know that everybody's everybody at that level's got some investments in AI.
00:50:33.360
He says, these are the guys that are doing all the things you read about.
00:50:37.040
He's so funny. And they're doing all the things you read about, which is true.
00:50:47.840
And they says he was talking to Fox News Digital, I guess. These are just a brilliant group of people.
00:50:54.080
It gets better. Hold on. This is just a brilliant group of people. And they can't relate to Biden
00:50:58.800
because he is a stupid person. And I have a high IQ. We don't need to fact check this one. Can we just enjoy it?
00:51:14.960
For the poetry that it is. I swear to God. And Trump should get a Nobel Prize in literature just for his,
00:51:23.760
just for the way he talks. Now, I don't know why it's so funny.
00:51:32.240
But, so last night I was flipping through the channels and decided to watch an old Seinfeld episode.
00:51:43.440
And I found myself laughing at a TV show for the first time in years, years. I can't remember the
00:51:50.960
last time I laughed out loud, like actually holding my gut at a TV show or a movie. Can you remember the
00:51:58.800
last time that happened? I don't. I can't. It's years. So I go back and look at this old show that
00:52:04.720
should have been extinct. You know, it should have timed out in terms of our appreciation of it.
00:52:10.560
Just a random episode. And, and I'm actually convulsed. I'm convulsing. I'm laughing so hard.
00:52:17.760
But here's the thing. If I looked at the dialogue on paper, you know, I was watching it as a writer,
00:52:23.760
you know, putting my writer filter on it. And I was imagining reading those same lines on paper.
00:52:29.680
They wouldn't really be that funny. I don't know why that thing is so funny,
00:52:34.640
but it's the same thing that Trump does. There's something about that Trump never says anything that
00:52:42.160
isn't Trump that makes it just so delicious. Like he's never talking the way you talk because that's
00:52:50.240
the way you talk. He only talks the way he talks and I could watch it all day long. But on Seinfeld,
00:52:57.760
the characters and the writing, um, even though a lot of it was like relatable,
00:53:02.640
you'd have little situations to go, Oh, that happens to me too. The way they talked and acted
00:53:07.760
wasn't like anybody talks or acts in the real world. And so it's that, that weirdness that
00:53:15.680
they never talked and acted like real people in the real world. Yet it was an exaggerated version
00:53:20.880
where they're extra selfish and stuff like that. It's just such a good formula. So, so funny.
00:53:27.280
But I think Trump's got a little of that magic as well. And then also, uh, Arizona attorney general is
00:53:35.440
going to go after, uh, the governor. So I believe they're both Democrats, but the governor is, uh,
00:53:43.280
Katie Hopkins is accused of taking bribes. Well, that would be a big surprise. We found out that
0.52
00:53:50.960
somebody was taking, taking bribes. Oh yeah, there's, I missed, I missed the best part of the show
00:54:00.800
because I missed this note. All right. I hope you stayed after I acted like I was done. The best part of
00:54:08.080
the show is, is this. You ready? Uh, first of all, let's talk about Nicole Wallace on, uh, MSNBC.
00:54:17.680
Steven Guest on X was calling this out and, uh, he notes that, uh, Nicole Wallace, before she was
00:54:24.720
on MSNBC, she was Bush's White House communications person. And then, uh, and then she was communicating,
00:54:32.240
oh, White House, then, uh, when Alito was confirmed to the Supreme Court, and then she went on some
00:54:40.240
deranged screed against justices Alito and Thomas today, according to Steve Guest. But here's what she
00:54:46.320
said, quote, the irreversible harm from the United States Supreme Court could do to the country and
00:54:52.320
democracy if they, the court, decides that the disgraced ex-president is indeed above the law.
00:54:59.360
The threat is compounded by Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, who have personal ties to the attempted
00:55:13.520
That's the news. None of that shit's true. Let's, let's go through this.
00:55:21.840
There will be irreversible harm if the courts find that Trump is above the law.
00:55:26.880
Is that really the question? Do you think the court's deciding if Trump personally is above the law?
00:55:34.080
No, they're talking about presidential immunity, but presidential immunity has existed forever.
00:55:40.000
So that's just crazy, bullshit, propaganda stuff. And then when she says it's compounded by Clarence
00:55:47.200
Thomas and Samuel Alito, having personal ties to the attempted overthrow of our government,
00:55:52.800
there was no attempted overthrow of the government. That is fake news. I sure hope to God the fake
00:56:00.800
news doesn't turn into fake history. Oh wait, here's the next story. As Joshua Lysak pointed out,
00:56:07.680
you saw a story in the Smithsonian. It's a magazine. The Smithsonian. You know the Smithsonian that
00:56:14.800
is a repository is a repository of our history. And he opened up the history book and he learned that
00:56:23.920
the history says that Donald Trump, quote, packed the courts and committed an insurrection. That's in
00:56:31.600
the Smithsonian document, the history of our country. Yep. He packed the courts, meaning that he
00:56:40.640
put people on the court. That's not what packed the court means. Pack the court means adding extra
00:56:48.880
people so the court is bigger and then packing it. So that's the wrong word. Number two,
00:56:57.920
he didn't commit an insurrection. What court found that he did an insurrection? I didn't see one. It
00:57:07.840
wasn't an attempted insurrection because there were no tools by which he could attempt an insurrection.
00:57:18.000
Good part. The good part's coming. It's coming real soon.
00:57:23.520
All right. Just hold that thought. Just hold the thought that the current news is fake,
00:57:30.080
which means that our history will all be fake. We know that there's no way around it. It's already
00:57:37.520
written and it's already fake and you can see it in real time. Do you remember the story that Trump
00:57:45.600
requested the National Guard on January 6th? I'll need a little reminder here because I'm just pulling
00:57:52.880
from memory. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but my memory is that Trump, ahead of January 6th,
00:58:00.400
authorized up to, what, 10,000 National Guard to make sure that the Capitol was protected.
00:58:07.360
Am I correct so far? And that I believe it was Nancy Pelosi who said no. Am I correct so far?
00:58:15.680
Am I correct so far? Fact check? Fact check's okay? Now, we've always wondered why she would do that,
0.99
00:58:22.160
right? Because you say to yourself, oh, it's a setup. She said no to the National Guard
00:58:29.520
because that made it more likely there would be some bad behavior. Is that what you think?
00:58:37.200
Is that your current belief that the only reason she would say no to the National Guard
00:58:43.760
is because she wanted the trouble? I've never been completely happy with that answer
00:58:51.600
because people do lots of bad things, but you know what they don't usually do?
00:58:56.880
They don't usually say, let's take all the security away from my husband so somebody can hit him on the
1.00
00:59:02.480
head with a hammer. It doesn't usually go that way. People don't leave themselves unprotected,
00:59:10.480
unless you're, you know, juicy Smollett or something. But a normal politician doesn't put
0.95
00:59:17.520
themselves at great personal risk, you know, just to run an op. A normal person doesn't. So why would
00:59:25.360
she do that? If you think that she was running an op and, you know, making it look, well, I've got
0.99
00:59:30.880
another hypothesis for you. Try this one on. You ready to have your head rearranged?
00:59:41.040
This one's going to hurt for a little while. Now, this is just speculation,
00:59:47.920
and I'll take a fact check on it. So I will not assert this to be a fact.
00:59:51.920
There is some news reporting that General Milley feared that Trump would use the National Guard
01:00:01.760
as his private army to take over the country. Have you ever heard that? There was fear that Trump
01:00:12.240
maybe had some control over the National Guard and that he would use them to take over the country.
01:00:30.720
is as big a fucking idiot as he looks because I kept watching him perform on TV and I kept saying to
01:00:37.200
myself, I don't know. He looks like an idiot. It looks like there's just something wrong with him.
01:00:42.880
Like, it looks like he falls for every hoax. I believe that he genuinely believed that there
01:00:51.280
was an insurrection. I think he actually believed that the National Guard would maybe be somehow under
01:00:59.120
Trump's control and he didn't want to take the chance that there would be a military force big enough to
01:01:04.720
make a difference should they decide to be traitors. I think that the real story of January 6th is that
01:01:14.720
the Democrats hoaxed themselves so badly that they believed the ridiculous and then they acted on the
01:01:23.520
ridiculous. And then acting on the ridiculous, they were committed and they had to sell the whole bag of
01:01:30.640
ridiculousness. I think that the only reason there was trouble is that the National Guard was turned
01:01:37.040
down. And I think the only reason it was turned down is that Mark Milley was a fucking idiot who had
01:01:44.000
TDS and was literally hallucinating a risk that no reasonable person saw. Now, keep in mind that nobody's
01:01:52.720
even mentioned that risk until I just mentioned it right now, except that I saw a story that said he
01:01:58.160
might have been concerned about it. Now, how's your brain?
01:02:05.920
What did that do to you? Do you think that interpretation might be true? Because it is
01:02:12.320
the interpretation that explains all the facts. The ones we've had before were like, maybe, but
01:02:20.400
I don't know. I just don't see somebody saying no to security when security is so important.
01:02:25.440
Right? But this makes perfect sense. We do observe as a fact that people have hoaxed themselves into
01:02:33.840
believing that he's a monster. What did Carville say the other day? He's going to take away your
01:02:39.040
constitution. So now he's taken away your freedom. He's going to take away your democracy. He's going
01:02:44.880
to take away your republic and there'll never be another election that he's going to take away your
01:02:48.960
constitution. Does that sound like people who are in good mental health? Not to me. No, I do believe
01:02:56.480
that the people who start these memes and messages, they're probably just cynical and they know people
01:03:04.560
will believe it. But I think that somebody like Mark Milley just believes it. And I'm going to add to
01:03:10.560
this. Yeah. Now I'm going to tie two things together. Remember, remember Trump said something
01:03:18.480
like, you know, attacking the cartels militarily. He asked about it when he was in office, but he's
01:03:24.560
also talked about it after office. Now, why is it that he is the only one who's mentioned that
01:03:31.360
and prior presidents act like it's not even on the table? Well, my hypothesis is that our government has
01:03:38.080
been working with the cartels because it's how we control Central American governments.
01:03:44.080
We have to be on their side. So we can't attack them militarily because they're on our team.
01:03:49.920
And we just put up with the massive numbers of deaths because I believe our government,
01:03:55.040
I've never said this before, but I'm going to say it for the first time. I believe that the people
01:04:00.000
who are really in charge of our government think that the overdose deaths are the worthless people.
01:04:05.280
That's what I think. That's not my opinion. I think that the people who are not dealing with
01:04:12.480
the overdose deaths in the United States, the really deep state ones, the real, the ones who are
01:04:17.520
really in charge, you know, the dark arts people, I think they think the overdose deaths are just
01:04:22.560
junkies and they don't give a fuck. So they're like, well, if we kill the cartels, we're going to have
01:04:28.880
chaos in all of the Americas. If we let them kill 70,000, uh, useless people a year, we won't miss
01:04:37.920
them a bit. The economy might be better for it. The jails will be less full and there'll be fewer
01:04:44.480
people driving and killing people because they're inebriated. So fuck them.
01:04:50.480
Yeah. Because a lot of you have the same opinion. You've told me directly when I talk about my stepson
01:04:55.120
dying, when I talk about my stepson dying, the most common comment I get is, well, he had a comment
01:05:00.560
or, you know, that's his fault, or you should have done better in your parenting. Right? So it wouldn't
01:05:06.720
surprise me if the people who are in charge actually just don't even think that's a problem,
01:05:11.840
that it's just calling the herd. That's what I think. But here's the, here's the, uh, the payoff.
01:05:18.320
Why is it that only Trump wouldn't know that we're working with the cartels?
01:05:25.280
It's exactly what you think. Because the bad guys couldn't tell him because he wouldn't put up with
01:05:30.720
it. I believe that he was never briefed on the real intel. And John Brennan says directly that they
01:05:38.640
don't want to give Trump, uh, intel because they can't trust him with it. You know why you can't trust
01:05:43.920
Trump? And I basically, I agree with them. You can't trust him with the intel. Do you know why
01:05:48.240
you can't trust Trump with the intel? Because if we knew the truth, something would change and they
01:05:56.240
don't want that. The problem is he would change it. I don't think the problem is so much that he would,
01:06:03.600
you know, tell our secrets, although he might. I mean, I could, I could easily imagine Trump just
01:06:08.400
saying, you know what? It turns out we work with the cartels. You could actually imagine him saying
01:06:15.520
that the only person in the world who would do it. So I believe that Trump has been operating, uh,
01:06:22.320
in a crippled capacity because the CIA has not been his friend. I believe that the insurrection was
01:06:29.440
caused entirely by Mark Milley's TDS. And maybe, and maybe he worked with, uh, I I'm guessing that
01:06:36.480
when Nancy Pelosi said no to the, to the extra security, do you think she did that without
01:06:42.400
talking to anybody? Do you think she just said, well, I'm Nancy Pelosi. I know about security.
01:06:48.320
I'll just decide now. No, she almost certainly talked to people who know what they're doing.
01:06:54.480
And I'll betcha some of them had the Mark Milley opinion that if you bring in military,
01:07:00.960
Do you think at that point they were worried that it would be obvious the election was stolen?
01:07:07.600
I believe so. I believe that the Democrats were worried that it was too obvious the election was
01:07:14.080
stolen. Do I have proof the election was stolen? No, not direct proof. I have indirect proof,
01:07:21.120
which is that the same bunch of people rigged everything they've touched. Every single thing
01:07:26.800
that same group of people have touched has been fake. Everything they've touched has been fake.
01:07:32.960
If you want to tell me this is the one thing that's not fake, I say, you're a fucking idiot.
01:07:38.240
All right. Well, let's be honest. If you still think, you know, the election was good,
01:07:43.040
as opposed to, you can't tell either way, which would be a reasonable thing to say.
01:07:47.200
If you say, you know, it was good. You're a fucking idiot at this point. You don't know how
01:07:51.760
anything works. You don't know that everything the same people, same people did. All of it's
01:07:57.920
fucking fake. All of it's fake. This isn't the one thing they did right. It's not. All right. So
01:08:11.200
history's fake. Four hostages got freed from Gaza. The IDF did an op and killed a bunch of people,
01:08:20.640
but got four hostages back and they seem to be in good shape. So that's good news. There's news that
01:08:25.760
NATO is preparing a land corridor for a possible land war in Europe against Russia. Can you name
01:08:32.880
anything dumber than planning a land war against a nuclear power? I really can't think of anything
01:08:42.160
that would be dumber than that. But military people have to do military planning. So you should not see
01:08:48.960
any kind of planning as anything that's like signaling what's going to happen.
01:08:54.080
Because if you're in the military and it's your job to plan for all contingencies, you don't say to
01:08:58.720
yourself, well, I think this one's, you know, terribly unlikely. No, you plan for them all.
01:09:05.520
Also be aware that we're in a psychological battle with Putin. So Putin's moving his warships to just do
01:09:12.720
a, you know, some naval exercise, but it's going to be close to the United States off of Cuba.
01:09:18.640
And then, you know, he talks about his nuclear weapons and how he might use them if so-and-so
01:09:24.880
happens. And then we, you know, we indicate that if this happens, that'll happen. So you might see
01:09:31.280
the planning for a land war as just part of the psychological battle. Because if Putin thinks
01:09:37.200
there's some chance that would control some of his urges, if he thought there was no chance,
01:09:44.720
because NATO wasn't even preparing for war, then he could act like NATO doesn't exist. So you should
01:09:51.680
see the planning as the fight. Not that it's an indication that there will be a fight later.
01:09:58.000
The planning is the fight. That's the psychological fight. Anyway, I have a theory that I'd like to tell
01:10:08.960
you about the simulation, because I keep hearing the same complaint. People say we couldn't possibly
01:10:15.120
be a simulation because you could never build a computer so powerful to simulate the universe.
01:10:20.560
Now, maybe you could, but let's take it as truth that you can never build one to simulate the universe.
01:10:28.080
That wouldn't matter because if you could build it to look as good as Roblox, do you know what that
01:10:33.360
is? Roblox, Roblox, the kids video game where the characters look like Legos. You know, everything's
01:10:41.120
made of squares. So if you see one of these like characters, it's just made of like Legos. You say to
01:10:49.280
yourself, well, that doesn't look like a real person. That looks like Legos. All right. Now let's say you
01:10:54.240
were a robot. And the robot has been trained on human behavior. And it sees a man made in Legos.
01:11:02.640
What's the robot say? Well, same as the people, because it's trained on people. So the robot says,
01:11:07.680
oh, that's not exactly a person. That's like a, some kind of, you know, creature made out of blocks.
01:11:15.120
But now take the robot and reprogram it. And you, you simply add this programming.
01:11:21.840
You will think you see something in detail, but really it's just going to be these blocks.
01:11:29.760
So if you were to describe it later, you would say, oh yeah, you had a mustache and looked like a
01:11:34.960
regular person and everything, but it won't actually be there. Yet you will just see all
01:11:39.760
the detail, but none will be there. When you walk into a room, you're only ever going to see the
01:11:45.040
little cone of your, of your concentration and all the rest you'll imagine you saw in detail,
01:11:51.680
but there wasn't any. Is that robot living in a simulation? Yes. The robot would reliably report
01:12:01.280
that it sees details and could even describe the details, could even draw a picture of the details,
01:12:06.560
but they wouldn't be there. So what I'm going to suggest, what I am suggesting is that the universe
01:12:13.520
could be run on a very small computer. As long as the characters in it, we're told that they see more
01:12:19.600
than they see. Now, could you, is there some breaking news?
01:12:30.880
Is it possible to the, in the real world, the one that we think we're in this one,
01:12:35.520
do we know that people imagine more detail than they see? Yes, that's well proven. Your actual
01:12:42.080
reality, your brain sees detail that isn't actually there. It's well understood. I don't need to get
01:12:50.240
into the details, but yeah, don't worry about processing. All you need is a line of code that
01:12:56.960
says you see the details. That's it. You see the details. The whole thing could be solved. You don't
01:13:03.520
need a computer that's bigger than the universe. You need a little one that just fools you into
01:13:08.160
thinking you see things you don't see because an optical illusion or simply BS is just always easier
01:13:16.240
to produce. Let me give you another one. How can you build a computer big enough that your memories,
01:13:23.360
my memories and everybody else's memories would stay consistent? Imagine how the complexity
01:13:30.240
of having all of civilization, billions of people and all of their histories have to match and line up
01:13:37.760
and be the same. That's not a problem. You know why? None of our history is real.
01:13:45.280
Even our personal memories don't line up. So the other day, somebody asked me what programming
01:13:53.840
language I used, you know, back when I was a young pup and doing some programming. I think I said basic
01:14:00.240
plus. And then yesterday, by weird coincidence, I was looking through some old videos and I saw myself
01:14:07.200
in the year I was using it, saying that it was quick basic. So I had a very clear memory of something
01:14:14.400
that didn't happen. And there are tons of examples of that. I've even had memories of things that I
01:14:22.240
thought happened to me that might have happened to my brother and vice versa. I've even changed the
01:14:27.520
character involved, right? So here's how that saves energy. Our histories don't have to match anymore.
01:14:35.600
You and I can watch the news and come away with different ideas of what history was.
01:14:39.360
We can we can write our history any way we want. And if somebody writes it differently,
01:14:44.560
we say they're lying. So you don't need any matching coordinated history. Because we just
01:14:52.160
imagine that we got the right one and everybody else is wrong. And it's one line of code.
01:14:57.600
It's one line of code for all of history. Your own version is fine. The other people are lying or have
01:15:03.920
bad memories. Boom. Done. All the memories now have been explained.
01:15:13.360
All right. That, in fact, is the end of the show. I'm going to say goodbye to
01:15:18.560
my wonderful people on X and YouTube and Rumble. If you missed the first part of the show,
01:15:25.440
you probably don't know that my new book has dropped, which is a combination of my two existing
01:15:30.320
books, which are both classics, God's Debris and The Religion War, plus a brand new short story that
01:15:37.360
completes the arc of the avatars. Available now on Amazon.
01:15:43.840
If it tells you the hardcover isn't available to December, that's a glitch. Go ahead and order it.
01:15:49.120
We'll fix that and you'll get your book in the normal amount of time that people get books.
01:15:53.840
All right. That's all we got for now. I hope I'm alive tomorrow and all the rest of you are too.
01:16:01.600
And I hope you have an amazing day. I'm going to talk privately to the
01:16:06.240
subscribers on Locals now. If you are subscribing on Locals and or on X where the Dilbert comic still
01:16:13.600
runs, you would know that Dilbert or Dogbert's a clone formed an army of felons to attack him.
01:16:20.640
But we wrap up that storyline today in case you're wondering how that ends.
