Scott Adams talks about a new kind of 3D printing, P. Diddy's new business venture, and why you should be scared of a woman who wants to make deep fake porn. Plus, a story about how caffeine is linked to better vascular health.
00:02:56.500There's a new kind of 3D printing, according to Concordia University, that I don't understand it exactly, but they call it holographic 3D printing and it involves sound using acoustic holograms.
00:03:14.560So, in other words, somehow they can concentrate sound waves, and then the sound waves will be the force that puts the materials into its shape.
00:03:29.320Because it's sound waves, you could actually create something on the other side of a barrier.
00:03:35.580So you could actually 3D create something inside somebody's body without opening them up.
00:03:42.240Now, I guess you'd have to have some material that you've got inside the body one way or the other.
00:03:47.700So maybe you have to open them up to put some 3D printing material in their body.
00:03:53.180But once it's in there, then they can put in the sound waves and actually turn it into something like a heart valve or some damn thing once it's already in your body.
00:04:03.520Now, I don't know if there will ever be an application for that, but there is some thinking that this will completely change 3D printing.
00:05:07.200Now, this opens up many deep and interesting questions.
00:05:12.800Number one, I can certainly see her point.
00:05:15.280If you made a porn of a public figure and you put it online, you could see how, if you were a woman, especially, it would seem like effectively violence.
00:05:27.280It would be sort of a psychological violence, but violence.
00:06:02.660Now, there's no, it's no laughing matter.
00:06:05.180If this is done to, you know, a woman or somebody who's underage, obviously that this is the sort of crime that's not going to hit every victim the same.
00:06:13.700In my case, it would just be funny, but you could certainly see how, if you were a woman, or especially if you were a minor, it would be devastating.
00:06:23.600So don't make, we're not going to make fun of it, unless it's about me, and then you can make fun of it.
00:06:33.840So you've all seen that AI can take some real person and then put them in a scene.
00:06:40.420We've seen that it can take real people, like a photograph of a person, and turn it into a talking kind of an icon.
00:06:50.440Is there yet an app where you can take a picture of the woman who turned you down and then turn her into your permanent digital girlfriend?
00:07:03.100Because it feels like only the parts exist.
00:07:06.160Like there's one app that can make somebody talk.
00:07:09.220There's another app that can make it look like the picture that you gave it.
00:07:13.720And probably there's a third thing that doesn't do either of those two things.
00:07:17.640They can turn it into a, like a conversational app.
00:07:21.220I don't think we're yet at the point where you could just take the photograph from Facebook of the girl that, you know, rejected you in high school.
00:07:33.100And just turn her into your digital girlfriend.
00:07:43.560People will absolutely be taking real life photographs of people, sometimes they don't even know, just somebody they like, and turning it into their digital servant.
00:09:09.960Well, anyway, CNN is reporting that it's not true that the Afghan refugees that have been coming into the country since the Afghan war wound down with the United States,
00:09:25.280it's not true that the Afghan refugees have not been adequately vetted.
00:09:30.100So all you people are saying, oh, they're letting in a bunch of Afghans and some of them might be terrorists.
00:09:35.840Because CNN is here to tell you in a big headline, it is not true, not true that the Afghans have not been effectively vetted.
00:09:43.920Also, CNN would like you to know that an Afghan national refugee has been charged with planning a mass murder on Election Day.
00:09:53.900So I suppose you can pick either one of those headlines.
00:12:46.740Roblox is sort of a, what do you call it?
00:12:50.460Sort of a social media game, mass game app where you can acquire building parts and build yourself a little home and get some furniture and interact with the other people.
00:13:04.940Now, if you've ever seen a child who is playing Roblox, there's something completely hypnotizing about it.
00:13:12.820You should see the eyes of anybody who just played.
00:13:15.500You know, the eyes are just completely hypnotized.
00:14:22.540The post-millennial is reporting on this.
00:14:25.840So, there's stock plunged and they've got some financial problems anyway.
00:14:30.240Well, I'm wondering if the reports or the allegations about Doug Emhoff, Kamala Harris' husband, I'm wondering if those reports are getting to anybody on the left.
00:14:45.620Because if they had concerns about Donald Trump's interactions with women, they would really have a problem with the Doug Emhoff stories if they're true.
00:14:56.700Now, keep in mind, there's going to be a theme to today's show, which is that none of the first-person reports a month before an election are true.
00:15:08.000Or at least you shouldn't give them credibility.
00:15:11.100I'm going to talk about a number of stories in the news that are all, well, somebody said there is a report from an anonymous person.
00:15:20.040And to be fair, I think we have to give the same treatment to Emhoff, which is, I'll tell you what the allegations are, because it's political, so therefore it's important to know what the allegations are.
00:15:49.040If the only evidence you have is that it's a month before an election, and somebody who doesn't give their name is making a claim about somebody, I'm sorry.
00:16:00.140That is the lowest level of credibility.
00:16:04.080But the reports coming in is that he worked at a law firm.
00:16:10.080And the attorneys who worked with him said he was misogynist and had men-only cocktail hours, and he would flirt with all the women, and he would revoke work perks for anybody who didn't flirt back.
00:16:27.680And he hired attractive assistants because they were attractive.
00:16:33.320If I could summarize that, all that behavior.
00:16:39.440I'm going to summarize it all for you, and the summary is, Doug Emhoff once worked at a law firm, which actually captures all of the other behavior.
00:17:17.740I've got to feel your law firms are not exactly the most polite places to work.
00:17:24.520All right, well, here's another thing that I'm trying to fight off the persuasive effects.
00:17:32.840I'm completely aware that the average citizen in the United States has never seen any news report about anything in their elections that looked like it was fraudulent.
00:17:43.940Probably the vast majority of citizens have never even seen one story of anything current where an election was a little bit questionable.
00:17:55.220But if you live in the right-leaning silo, as I do, you see them all day long.
00:18:05.080So I think I saw four of them today, four different stories of either the election rolls had to be corrected or somebody's suing to make a change that they know needs to be changed, but somebody's resisting.
00:18:19.140There's a door that needs to be unlocked because there might be some bad ballots back there, but they won't unlock the door.
00:18:25.540There's a new lawsuit that got turned down for reasons that sound technical, but maybe the allegation was true.
00:19:48.340The gold standard of online casinos has arrived.

00:20:27.660Why settle for less when you can go for the gold at Golden Nugget Online Casino?
00:20:46.240But on the positive side, on the positive end, I'm going to give you this recommendation again, just because I like boosting the independent news.
00:20:58.540But if you're not following the account on X called George, just one word, George, his handle is B-H-I-Z-Y Tweets.
00:21:14.120Anyway, he does some of the best reporting every day.
00:21:18.020I don't know how, I don't know exactly how he's doing it or if somebody's backing him or what, but almost every day I tell you some story that I only heard from him.
00:21:31.960There's a project called Move the Needle, and it's in Milwaukee, and where people are going door to door in black neighborhoods specifically, trying to quote, I don't like this word, but educate black voters on why they must vote for Trump.
00:21:49.040I would have used a different word than educate, maybe persuade or something.
00:21:59.460I feel as if people are wising up to the fact that 100% of election or political stuff they see on their glowing screens is absolute bullshit.
00:22:11.400So even the things that agree with me, you know, especially this month, even if it's like something to be positive for Trump, I look at it and go, yeah, yeah, but, you know, out of context, right?
00:22:25.500So it's not like, it's not like the stuff that agrees with you is true and the other side got everything wrong.
00:22:50.120If people do give up on the glowing screens and the internet and the news being the persuasive things, in-person is stronger.
00:22:59.180So if you can get a human being to stand in front of you and you allow them to talk for a little while and you're maybe you're undecided or you have some confusion about what's true and what's not, it could be super persuasive if the people doing it are trained to be persuasive.
00:23:19.440Number one, it's an excellent experiment to find out if it worked, because if it does work, you could easily imagine that the election process is just armies of people trying to persuade other people.
00:23:33.720Now, there's always some of that, but we seem to leave it to the news to inform.
00:23:38.440I think we're going to lose that model.
00:23:41.520I think the foreshadowing that you can see already is that people are going to say, I just need to talk to another person who's done the work, and then I can ask some questions of the person.
00:24:16.600The number of Republicans, specifically Republicans, who have learned persuasion well enough to apply it in the political context successfully, is way different.
00:24:31.120Because people like me are literally training people.
00:24:36.600You know, I've probably personally trained 100,000 Republicans in how to be more persuasive, but also how to recognize propaganda.
00:24:45.020How to identify lies, but mostly how to persuade somebody.
00:24:51.360So what happens if I train 100,000 persuaders, and they go out and just have conversations with 100,000 people?
00:25:03.500I remember in the first Trump election, after the election, I asked, how many of you changed your vote to Trump because of something I said?
00:25:13.160And even though this was a highly, you know, unscientific, it was just a poll on what was Twitter, I think 1,500 people responded and said, I changed their vote.
00:25:26.300Now, keep in mind that if 1,500 people said yes, that wasn't an opinion.
00:25:59.080But, yeah, the Republicans have a major advantage in that there are people like me who are literally training them how to be good persuaders.
00:26:09.520That's not happening on the other side.
00:26:12.060And it might not be able to be possible on the other side because if Democrats were trained on propaganda and persuasion, they would recognize that it's happening to them.
00:26:23.140But the Democrat persuasion is sort of standard political stuff.
00:26:29.300So even if you see it, you just say, oh, I get it.
00:26:38.520But if you were a Democrat, you'd be finding out that the Democrats made up entire stories and got all the press to sell them, like the fine people hoax.
00:26:47.060So if Democrats find out how the game is played, they're going to abandon Democrats.
00:26:53.800If Republicans find out how the game is played, they're going to say, oh, my side tells some tales, too.
00:27:00.820But I'm just going to, you know, that's just sort of normal business.
00:27:03.620But the other side just got the intelligence community to sign something that was a lie.
00:32:09.580It's going to bring gigantic flooding.
00:32:12.400And the real question that everybody keeps asking me is, Scott, do you think that bad people made these hurricanes worse or aimed them using their secret hurricane technology?
00:32:25.580And sure enough, just like the UFO stories, there's a credible sounding person who's willing to talk to Congress to say that he's a whistleblower and he knows for sure that the United States can manipulate the weather.
00:32:39.040And there's no doubt about it that Helene was manipulated and aimed and intensified so it would go tear up North Carolina.
00:32:53.820And the story is that we have, we, I guess the CIA or somebody, Defense Department, somebody has some secret technology for rapidly intensifying hurricanes.
00:33:07.640And we've seen them rapidly intensify in ways that we haven't seen before.
00:33:46.320It looks like climate change made it worse because it's one of the worst, it's one of the top five hurricanes in the last, I don't know, 50 years.
00:35:26.480Here are the things that I don't doubt.
00:35:31.320I don't doubt that you can make it rain more than it was going to rain.
00:35:37.380So if you see the clouds, that seems like acceptable stuff.
00:35:41.320I don't doubt that there have been experiments, and maybe more than experiments, of trying to put something in the atmosphere that would dull the impact of the sun for climate change.
00:35:53.500I think that's real, at least in the prototype phase.
00:35:57.440And I think it's been tested somewhere.
00:36:00.040But do you think they have technology using lasers or whatnot to steer a storm?
00:36:09.400And there might even be a theoretical way to do it.
00:36:15.100But do I think that Americans, to, let's say, change the outcome of an election, used hurricane modification to create a mass murder in the United States to change the election outcomes?
00:36:38.660And it's sort of the same 95% that I put on the UFOs not being real.
00:36:44.560Because the nature of the people who are saying, I'm a whistleblower, I can tell you for sure it's real, it looks like the same people to me.
00:36:54.060Like, they're not the same, but they could be.
00:36:58.120If you sat them down next to each other, you put the UFO whistleblower next to the hurricane modification whistleblower, you would think you're talking to the same fucking guy.
00:37:08.400Now, I'm not going to ignore that, that the whistleblowers have this kind of vibe to them, if you know what I mean.
00:37:17.620And their stories all sound the same, whether it's an earthquake or, I'm sorry, whether it's a hurricane or a UFO, they sound the same when they're telling their story.
00:38:02.240Now, now I'm seeing the angry people saying, God, Scott, on some subjects you're so obtuse.
00:38:11.300Well, here's the context you should look at.
00:38:15.540Compare all the things that I've predicted publicly to all the things you've predicted publicly.
00:38:21.260And then maybe you should get a little bit more humble about how certain you are that you know that there's earthquake or hurricane modifications.
00:38:32.420Now, I'm allowing you the 5% because I don't rule it out.
00:40:20.480So the questioner basically has a total attitude and saying, you know, but why do you believe in the conspiracy theories?
00:40:31.000Now, if somebody goes on TV and tells you something is a conspiracy theory, that is propaganda.
00:40:37.100If it had not been propaganda, if it had not been the intention of it, simply to make it look like nobody in their right mind could think the election was stolen, that's the point of it, right?
00:40:48.360They're trying to make sure that we don't claim it in this coming election by demonizing people who claimed it in the last election.
00:41:00.100So they're setting the stage and they're priming you.
00:41:04.080Do you want to be treated like Shelby was?
00:41:06.660Because she said in public she thought the election wasn't real in 2020.
00:41:11.220So, you know, you might be next one who stopped by 60 Minutes to be told that you're a conspiracy theorist in front of the whole world so that they can ruin your life.
00:41:22.740Yeah, to me, it looks like it's just a shot across the bow to warn people not to complain about the election,
00:41:28.620which is another way of telling me that they plan to steal it.
00:41:32.720Not confirmed, but the message I get from 60 Minutes is that they're part of a network of people who know that the election is going to be stolen
00:41:41.540and they want to put down some suppressive fire so that when you do challenge it, you know that you're going up against strong forces
00:41:49.880and that you might be jailed like the J6ers or you might be maligned and defamed like Shelby Bush is.
00:42:00.500The fact that the questioner labels her a conspiracy theorist is all you need to know.
00:42:05.720The average person who watches any kind of news related show, if they hear that the questioner, who you trust, is calling it conspiracy theory,
00:42:16.340they're not really going to listen to the details of the claim.
00:42:19.820They're going to be, oh, it's a story about how dumb Republican conspiracy theories are.
