In this week's episode of the podcast, we talk about a new sex toy that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to make sex more fun, a new drug that could change the fate of the world, and the new movie that s taking over the world.
00:07:23.060You know, it's bad enough that there's leaf blowers 90% of the time when you walk outside.
00:07:27.900But there's always an airplane engine when you walk outdoors, where I live anyway.
00:07:33.320So, apparently, they figured out how to do some echo cancellation.
00:07:38.760And I think the big secret was that they have to consider the entire airplane as the thing creating the noise.
00:07:45.260And if they're a little bit smarter about it at the University of Bristol, the researchers think they can actually make an energy-efficient way to get rid of the noise.
00:12:18.160If they don't spend all of the people's money, plus money the people don't even have but will have to pay later, if you don't do that, you'll lose your job.
00:12:28.280And then I'd look at it and say, well, isn't that exactly the opposite of a good system?
00:12:34.100I would think a good system on paper would say that if you overspend the people's money, you'd have the penalty of some kind.
00:13:07.180Is it distressing to you that not only is there not an obvious way out, but there's literally nobody in the government, none, who have told you, okay, there is a way out.
00:14:37.300Now, if you did not know anything about business and economics and had not been paying attention, you'd say to yourself, well, that sounds great.
00:15:39.700You can't GDP your way out of a $35 trillion debt.
00:15:44.540There's nobody who's studied economics for five minutes who thinks that's possible.
00:15:49.920But whoever asked the question probably didn't know the difference.
00:15:53.660And so Trump gets to say that and move on.
00:15:57.060Here's the only thing I can see as a potential solution.
00:16:01.180And by the way, before I get you all gloomy, I will remind you that this would not be the first time we see a gigantic problem ahead that will kill us for sure.
00:16:12.060Remember when we were all going to run out of food?
00:17:35.320Well, I would argue that we're on the cusp, maybe five years away, from health care costs dropping to close to nothing, except for hospital stays.
00:17:46.860So you still need insurance for a hospital stay, but you might not need any doctoring or any doctor visits ever again once your robot can do it for you.
00:32:33.380So on paper, there's no such thing as independent doctors anymore.
00:32:38.520On paper, if you just looked at the design of the system, you say, oh, wow, this system design where doctors have bosses and the bosses work for big companies and big companies always have to follow the common narrative.
00:33:18.460If you wanted to know what is a dependable study, what would you say?
00:33:23.300We all learned this during the pandemic if we didn't already know it.
00:33:26.340You'd say to yourself, well, hell, the only good studies, the ones you can really trust, would be a large scale, randomized, controlled experiment where you've got a proper prediction of what could happen.
00:33:50.100Number one, there are small entities who can't afford to do a randomized controlled study because it costs many millions of dollars.
00:33:59.180So if you're just a researcher and you say, I'd like to study this thing, you know, independent of the pharmaceutical industry, I just want to know what's true.
00:34:08.160You would never get enough money for that.
00:34:11.920And if you came up with an answer that the pharmaceutical industry didn't like, you're probably in the same domain of science as that pharmaceutical company you're studying because otherwise you'd have no business studying it.
00:34:26.480So you would be in the domain in which if you wanted to get, let's say, a speaking agreement, you'd need people like the pharmaceutical companies to be on your side.
00:34:35.680So there's a gigantic financial incentive.
00:34:40.040Essentially, it's impossible for anybody who's not a pharmaceutical company to do a large scale, multi-year, many million dollar trial.
00:34:49.040So that leaves exactly one entity who has the wherewithal and the interest to do a large scale trial.
00:34:58.180The people who want most to lie to you, the pharmaceutical companies.
00:35:02.260So in theory, the way the system is designed on paper, again, we're not talking about anybody who's a bad actor.
00:35:11.120We're not talking about incompetence, selfishness, nothing.
00:35:16.400The current design of the system is the only people who can afford it are the people who want to lie to you because they have a financial incentive.
00:35:24.360So if they do a large scale study and it doesn't give them the answer they want, do you ever see it?
00:35:55.600You're lucky if you get one and the one would be funded by the people that you would trust the least to give you an honest accounting of what's going on.
00:36:04.380Now, even a large randomized controlled study, you know that could be totally rigged, right?
00:36:08.240Just because it's large and randomized and controlled and just because it's peer reviewed, it could still be totally rigged.
00:36:17.480That's why you would need to do multiple randomized controlled studies before you really know anything.
00:36:23.940If the only one you have is from the pharmaceutical company, it actually has close to zero credibility.
00:36:32.100So if you're going to if you're going to listen to your experts, you have to understand that even if the experts mean well, they operate within a system in which they can't tell you the truth, even if they knew it.
00:36:45.320So when you have these idiots in the Democrat side who tell you this, this book is wrong and this book is right, they have put themselves in the situation of actually knowing what's true and what's not.
00:37:09.640The best you can do in that situation is let everybody talk.
00:37:12.840And that's the one thing that they tried to stop.
00:37:16.460They tried to stop letting everybody talk by by suppressing books on Amazon.
00:37:23.720Do you think the left understands that they don't have access to real information and they can't even trying harder wouldn't get there because the system is designed on paper.
00:38:08.380Well, of course, that's bad shit crazy stuff.
00:38:10.540But the only thing I want to say about it is it's another great example of lying eyes.
00:38:16.080If you don't know anything about body language, well, let's go back in time.
00:38:23.040I remember when I was young and the first time a book came out and it was like purported to tell you something about what somebody is feeling or thinking by their body language.
00:38:33.780And I remember saying to myself, ah, that sounds a little horoscopy.
00:38:40.060I mean, I was only a child, but even as a child, I was like, really, can you tell what I'm thinking by my crossed arms?
00:39:47.300You can spot the lie with the sound off actually easily because her eyes are normal when she's just saying things that you and I would agree are true, such as Democrats want to give a pathway to citizenship.
00:40:02.160So if you look at her saying that, her eyes would be normal.
00:40:06.240But once it gets into, you know, obviously ridiculous stuff, her eyes go wide open, her eyebrows go up to her hairline and her wrinkles and she leans into the camera.
00:40:17.740And this is what people do when they know that they're talking pure imaginary bullshit, but they want you to join their imaginary world.
00:41:17.920And apparently Jake Tapper is in the middle of this.
00:41:21.200They could be sued for up to a billion dollars.
00:41:24.420And apparently the problem is that, let's see, they said they allegedly defamed somebody who was working on getting people out of Afghanistan.
00:41:37.840So they didn't like him because he was trying to get people out of Afghanistan.
00:41:42.600And I don't know exactly what the problem was.
00:42:20.560Knowing you're wrong and saying it anyway and defaming somebody in public, that's defamation.
00:42:27.400So apparently they've got the, the individual involved here has access to the internal communications.
00:42:35.740And here are some of the things that were said in CNN's private communications.
00:42:42.560Correspondent Alex Marquette, who is called the primary reporter on this story, he said in a message to a colleague that he wanted to, quote, nail the Zachary Young motherfucker.
00:42:58.960And he thought the story would be Young's, quote, funeral.
00:44:36.340Anyway, so she was interviewing Trump campaign spokeswoman, Caroline Leavitt.
00:44:43.300And when Caroline started saying that, you know, Jake Tapper and Dana Bash were biased people and the debate was coming up and CNN's always been biased, that Casey Hunt didn't like the maligning of her coworkers.
00:45:02.320And she pulled the plug after warning her a few times and pulled the plug.
00:45:16.700Because if it's true that those correspondents have been, you know, clearly and plainly anti-Trump forever, then all she did is say something that's true, which was relevant to the topic.
00:45:31.500And, you know, like Amazon and like the Twitter files and now like CNN, they're not really big on hearing the other side, are they?
00:45:51.620But what I thought was the funniest part is if you see the split screen and you see the CNN host and then you see the Trump representative, it looks like a before and after picture of somebody who finally got their life together.
00:46:22.540Rasmussen did a poll on who people think will win the debate and it's Trump.
00:46:28.34047% thought Trump would win the debate and 37% think Biden will win.
00:46:33.480That's probably bad news for Trump supporters because it means the expectations are high for Trump, which means it will be easier for him to not hit the expectations, which means it will be easier for Biden to survive.
00:46:47.740I think we can all see what's going to happen.
00:46:59.740Well, the expectations for Biden were low, but not only did he clear those expectations with his soaring rhetoric and steel tight logic, he was like a bulldozer who destroyed that chaotic Trump who was trying to steal your democracy right in front of you.
00:47:18.660But thank God we've got good leadership in Biden, who some say is not on his game, but he proved today that he's got the goods.
00:47:29.740Now that they would say that even if he passed out and wet himself on the stage.
00:47:35.000It's like you don't have to wonder how it ends.
00:47:38.440There's something comforting about knowing exactly how it goes, no matter what.
00:58:08.180So here's another system design problem.
00:58:12.840Apparently the federal government requires that anybody in the government who comes in contact with a citizen has to give them voter registration stuff.
00:58:24.520Now the problem is that the government comes in contact with a lot of migrants who are not citizens.
00:58:31.420And the law requires that because they come in contact with them,
00:58:36.900they have to give them voter registration stuff.
00:59:16.900She says the she says Biden's immigration accountability project estimates are 30 million non-citizens.
00:59:27.300And the problem that we have now is that the Biden administration has an executive order that all federal agencies have to give voter registration to everyone they come in contact with.
00:59:39.880It doesn't matter if they're citizens.
