Real Coffee with Scott Adams - Episode 892 Scott Adams： Simultaneous Swaddling and Taking Questions. Get in Here!

00:00:00.000 Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum hey everybody come on in it's time for the simultaneous swaddle yes every 12 hours you get a little bit more of me some would say that's plenty but I don't think they're good sports

00:00:26.880 I think a little bit more of me is just what you need just what you need so come on in here I'm going to be taking some questions talking about some stuff getting you ready for an extraordinarily good night of sleep in fact why don't you tell me in the comments if you had a really good sleep last night because I suggested that you would and it would be nice to see your confirmation

00:00:56.880 so tell me if you had a really good night of sleep last night so let's catch up on the news for the last 12 hours it's been quite a bit for example President Trump did his usual task force press conference and after it CNN reported that he was quote

00:01:26.880 he was out there touting he was out there touting around touting up that drug but is that really what happened was he touting I don't think so I don't think so I don't think he was touting here's what I think he was doing I think the president was saying exactly what you and I say when we listen to the doctors we make a risk management assessment based on what the doctors tell us

00:01:56.880 he knows it hasn't hasn't one undergone you know rigorous tests he does know there are anecdotal reports that it works some that it doesn't he knows that he also knows that it's been used for years for other purposes so we know it's well tolerated he knows that so a risk assessment is that it might work doctors say they take it themselves because well it might

00:02:22.880 it might and the risk if you're taking it might and the risk if you're taking it for a short term especially the risk is almost vanishingly small and it might work there's some indication it might so is the president touting a drug or is he simply looking at what the evidence is that we're all looking at exactly the same data and saying well it's a risk management situation would you take the risk which is nothing

00:02:52.880 which could save your life yeah it's kind of easy actually my guess is that the only reason the president is being a little more full throated about this is because maybe we have more of it he said we have a you know 20 something million doses I don't know if they're in the right place but I guess we're we got some coming in now here's the fun part about this when the president puts down

00:03:22.740 a stake anywhere and says you know this is what I think is true what's the natural thing that happens if the president says the sky is blue CNN says it's not blue not at night you know and they'll say why it's not blue so the president has I don't know if he planned this but if it turns out this hydroxychloroquine actually works if it works

00:03:52.520 because I'm going to get the same treatment no matter how many times I say if it works unproven only anecdotal you know darn well that that my troll future critics are already planning to say you were out there touting it Scott you touted it and then I'll say I did not tout there was no touting I simply explained the same data that you're looking at anyway

00:04:21.240 so the president is forcing CNN to take an increasingly strong stand against against believing in the drug so they're not against the drug they're against believing in it without sufficient scientific evidence now of course we all we all agree with that right if you had a choice if you had a choice of lots of high quality studies

00:04:51.060 well yeah we'd all take that choice if we had that choice which we don't so so I think it's hilarious if it turns out the drug works then the president will have forced CNN into mocking him for something that turned out to be right and there's going to be a lot of mocking because it's basically as soon as I heard him say it I thought well there's the whole news cycle right there that CNN and MSNBC will say

00:05:20.720 it's unproven it's unproven it's unproven it's unproven I say it's unproven as if the president doesn't know that because he said it's unproven and they're going to act like he doesn't know it even though he says it directly is it by imagination or did the number of deaths from coronavirus decline today it's not the end of the day but it looks like we're going to end down right now the other day I said don't get don't get excited

00:05:49.720 excited about you know one day in a row that it looks like it's going down because then the very next day it was up of course but it's down again it's feeling like we're starting to top not in not topping in infections but topping in deaths which could be because the hydroxychloroquine works I don't know could be

00:06:13.720 so David Angel sends me this question if you want to ask me a question go to my go to my top tweet on Twitter and you could just put the question there I'll read it

00:06:27.760 so there's this graph that I've seen but I don't know to believe it or the source anyway it's a graph that shows the amount of pneumonia by each season or each year in the United States and it purports to show that the number of cases of pneumonia are way way way down this year

00:06:50.740 which would mean what well first of all I don't know where this came from it's just something I saw on Twitter so I have no idea if the data is right but if the data is right that the number of pneumonias or things that we call pneumonia is way down could it be that we have a counting problem going on and that

00:07:11.800 that what we think that what we think are coronavirus maybe we used to think of pneumonia and vice versa so I do think there's probably some issue about how we're counting things and I will say once again it seems that we've gone yet one more day without the dire consequences and every day that it's every day we get closer to the predicted peak which is still what 10 days away

00:07:41.800 and it's not looking dire yet the skeptics are getting a little happier and I have to admit there's part of me there's part of me that can see that other movie just as clearly as I can see the one that I spend most of my time in so the one I spend most of my time in is this is pretty bad but I think between science and in our good work we'll get a handle on it so I don't think the death toll will be bad I think the risk

00:08:11.800 risk is very very high but I think humans will prevail but that still puts me in the movie that says it's a gigantic problem that could have killed you know two million people if he did everything wrong but the people who say it was never a problem and it's all just in your mind and it's just a hysteria you can't rule them out yet

00:08:38.800 because so far we don't have even one hospital over capacity right but again 10 days from now it could be a hellscape and it could look like you know world war zombie and the experts say that's going to happen

00:08:54.640 they seem pretty clear they seem pretty clear that in 10 days we're going to be super unhappy

00:09:00.480 I can see both movies at this point and they're both so clear can't you see both

00:09:09.360 I'm not saying that one you know one is definitely going to happen and the other isn't

00:09:15.640 I'm saying as of this point in time I can see them both just like they both exist

00:09:20.160 and it's sort of a Schrodinger's cat situation

00:09:24.660 where it's as if those two futures

00:09:27.180 already exist

00:09:29.220 and the only thing we're going to do is choose a path

00:09:32.520 you know we get to perceive either one but they're both there

00:09:35.660 just waiting for us and you can go either way

00:09:38.300 you can see in the comments

00:09:39.580 people are saying the same thing

00:09:41.400 normally one of those paths is not clear

00:09:44.440 my normal situation is that one of them is clear

00:09:48.520 and the rest are fuzzy but there are two that are really clear

00:09:53.020 all right

00:09:54.560 Joe Rogan made a little news

00:09:56.680 he was

00:09:57.240 did his interview with

00:09:59.260 Eric Weinstein and Joe Rogan

00:10:01.980 they were talking about

00:10:03.420 Joe Biden being

00:10:04.840 mentally degraded

00:10:06.780 and Joe Rogan said

00:10:08.780 you know that he would vote for

00:10:11.100 President Trump over Joe Biden

00:10:13.020 because he didn't think Biden was capable of anything

00:10:16.100 so

00:10:17.740 so the Joe Rogan

00:10:19.260 you know

00:10:20.600 take on it is

00:10:21.840 the same as

00:10:23.500 most of yours I think

00:10:25.000 which is

00:10:26.000 if you're being honest

00:10:27.180 if you're

00:10:28.940 if you just step away from the political filter for a while

00:10:31.620 you're just being honest

00:10:32.660 you can see it right

00:10:34.800 you can see that Biden's

00:10:36.400 not operating with a full

00:10:38.020 you know

00:10:39.320 full

00:10:39.800 full clip

00:10:41.880 or something

00:10:42.840 I love the fact that Joe Rogan makes

00:10:46.780 news

00:10:47.440 just by talking about who he might vote for

00:10:50.420 you know you've made it

00:10:53.540 when it's a world headline

00:10:55.820 that you were just

00:10:57.220 talking with a friend

00:10:58.660 and say yeah

00:10:59.280 I might

00:10:59.680 I might vote for 0.69

00:11:01.060 Trump over then

00:11:02.520 and it's a headline

00:11:03.580 I mean he's doing something right

00:11:05.540 if that's world news

00:11:07.320 so

00:11:09.580 I now

00:11:10.460 now have my second idiot 0.95

00:11:11.960 that I've blocked

00:11:12.740 for

00:11:13.720 misstating

00:11:14.480 what my prediction is

00:11:16.080 of the death toll

00:11:16.900 and then

00:11:18.020 criticizing me already

00:11:19.980 before we even know

00:11:21.280 which way things end up

00:11:23.080 already criticizing me

00:11:24.320 for being wrong

00:11:25.040 for the things that they

00:11:26.820 misremembered

00:11:27.740 I said

00:11:28.740 so now

00:11:29.840 two people have been blocked

00:11:31.180 for doing that

00:11:31.960 there are going to be a lot of them

00:11:33.040 I'll bet

00:11:34.880 I'll bet there will be

00:11:36.100 two dozen people

00:11:37.240 that I'll have to

00:11:38.780 block

00:11:39.380 because they will be

00:11:40.920 damn sure

00:11:42.180 I said something else

00:11:43.540 and that

00:11:44.220 I need to admit

00:11:45.580 how wrong I am

00:11:46.660 speaking of admitting wrong

00:11:49.400 Dr. Drew did something

00:11:53.300 amazingly brave

00:11:54.780 which is

00:11:55.800 he did a special

00:11:57.020 little periscope today

00:11:58.140 just apologizing

00:12:00.040 to the public

00:12:00.740 for

00:12:01.440 his

00:12:03.100 his take

00:12:03.940 on the coronavirus

00:12:05.160 being a little bit too

00:12:06.780 maybe a little too optimistic

00:12:08.640 and

00:12:09.140 comparing it a little bit

00:12:11.100 too much

00:12:11.520 to lesser problems

00:12:12.620 and

00:12:14.120 I thought that was

00:12:16.040 pretty impressive

00:12:16.740 I gotta say

00:12:18.220 you don't really expect

00:12:19.840 your

00:12:20.160 anybody in the public eye

00:12:21.960 to just say

00:12:22.700 yep I got that one wrong

00:12:23.980 yeah

00:12:25.480 so

00:12:26.540 credit to Dr. Drew

00:12:29.060 for

00:12:29.580 acknowledging that

00:12:31.980 now I've said

00:12:32.900 I said before

00:12:34.760 I don't think he was

00:12:35.700 that far off

00:12:36.340 of Dr. Fauci

00:12:37.240 was he

00:12:38.440 because if you look at

00:12:39.400 where Fauci's evolution was

00:12:41.200 it's not that different

00:12:42.960 from Dr. Drew

00:12:43.960 so

00:12:45.380 you know

00:12:46.880 if you're wrong

00:12:47.760 but you also

00:12:48.540 were pretty darn

00:12:49.540 close to the top

00:12:50.600 expert in the world

00:12:51.540 who everybody's

00:12:52.180 looking to

00:12:52.700 that's not the

00:12:54.540 wrongest you can be

00:12:55.800 I mean you could be

00:12:56.820 a lot more wrong

00:12:57.520 than that

00:12:58.120 you know even

00:12:59.180 even if the

00:12:59.940 the explanation

00:13:01.820 turned down to be

00:13:02.560 suboptimal

00:13:03.240 you could be a lot

00:13:04.740 more wrong in your

00:13:05.460 life than that

00:13:06.100 all right

00:13:06.980 did anybody confirm

00:13:11.340 if the

00:13:12.080 the death count

00:13:13.800 actually went down

00:13:14.740 from yesterday

00:13:15.460 because I think it

00:13:17.300 went down

00:13:17.820 like sharply

00:13:19.520 you know we're

00:13:21.020 still dealing with

00:13:21.700 relatively small numbers

00:13:23.160 I mean it's a big

00:13:24.120 number if you happen

00:13:24.800 to be one of the

00:13:25.440 ones who died

00:13:25.960 but

00:13:26.260 you know

00:13:27.040 a thousand

00:13:27.640 can bump around

00:13:30.260 you know

00:13:30.600 thirty percent a day

00:13:31.580 all right

00:13:32.780 some of these I

00:13:36.200 don't understand

00:13:36.800 the context

00:13:37.680 somebody said

00:13:38.660 how can a

00:13:39.080 billionaire fund

00:13:39.880 to winhub

00:13:40.420 to improve

00:13:41.060 that's my

00:13:41.780 startup

00:13:42.260 to improve

00:13:43.260 communication in

00:13:44.240 real-time

00:13:44.640 cooperative

00:13:45.140 situations

00:13:45.900 well that would be

00:13:47.960 more of a

00:13:48.360 conversation

00:13:48.940 but if you know

00:13:50.040 any billionaires

00:13:50.800 want to have that

00:13:51.960 conversation

00:13:52.480 send them my way

00:13:53.320 how can we have a

00:13:55.780 trustworthy 2020

00:13:56.940 election

00:13:57.420 I think we're

00:13:58.660 we're way beyond

00:14:00.180 the point where

00:14:00.880 anybody trusts

00:14:01.680 anything

00:14:02.180 aren't we

00:14:03.840 because we don't

00:14:05.800 trust our experts

00:14:06.780 we don't trust our

00:14:07.880 politicians

00:14:08.340 we don't trust the

00:14:09.440 news

00:14:09.980 don't trust

00:14:11.200 anybody do we

00:14:13.140 who do we trust

00:14:14.940 so the question

00:14:16.520 how can we have a

00:14:17.300 trustworthy 2020

00:14:18.320 election is

00:14:19.040 we can't

00:14:20.420 it doesn't matter

00:14:21.440 who wins

00:14:22.000 the other side is

00:14:22.640 going to say

00:14:23.020 there was cheating

00:14:23.600 and they'll have a

00:14:25.340 good argument

00:14:25.860 they'll probably

00:14:27.320 have a good

00:14:27.740 argument

00:14:28.160 did you notice

00:14:32.140 the change in

00:14:32.740 tone for

00:14:33.540 today's press

00:14:35.060 briefing

00:14:35.480 much more

00:14:36.520 positive

00:14:37.080 to be honest

00:14:38.860 to answer your

00:14:39.420 question directly

00:14:40.060 I did not

00:14:40.660 notice

00:14:41.200 but now that

00:14:42.440 you mention it

00:14:43.200 was it more

00:14:44.560 positive

00:14:45.040 well

00:14:45.780 I don't know

00:14:47.840 are you having

00:14:49.180 the same

00:14:49.760 issue that I'm

00:14:50.760 having which is

00:14:51.960 the whole

00:14:52.640 ventilator thing

00:14:53.560 seems

00:14:54.000 seems like we

00:14:55.800 should know a

00:14:56.320 lot more than

00:14:56.880 we are

00:14:57.300 I can't even

00:14:59.960 tell

00:15:00.360 you know just a

00:15:02.380 few days away

00:15:03.160 from the projected

00:15:04.020 peak

00:15:04.600 I can't tell if

00:15:06.380 we're a hundred

00:15:07.280 thousand ventilators

00:15:08.680 short

00:15:09.200 or we already

00:15:10.960 have too many

00:15:11.840 can you

00:15:13.080 based on

00:15:14.760 everything you've

00:15:15.440 seen

00:15:15.760 you know in

00:15:17.640 the press

00:15:18.420 conferences

00:15:18.840 would you be

00:15:19.960 able to answer

00:15:20.520 this question

00:15:21.200 will we

00:15:23.060 will we be

00:15:23.800 a hundred

00:15:24.260 thousand

00:15:24.740 ventilators

00:15:25.520 short

00:15:26.080 despite

00:15:27.020 everything we're

00:15:27.660 doing

00:15:27.920 or

00:15:29.080 do we

00:15:30.340 already have

00:15:30.860 twice as

00:15:31.420 many as

00:15:31.820 we need

00:15:32.280 I don't

00:15:34.800 think I can

00:15:35.300 answer the

00:15:35.760 question

00:15:36.140 because I

00:15:38.000 just hear

00:15:38.420 confusing

00:15:39.040 numbers that

00:15:39.860 don't seem

00:15:40.460 to have any

00:15:41.260 context

00:15:41.780 which leads

00:15:43.000 me to believe

00:15:43.640 that maybe

00:15:44.400 nobody knows

00:15:45.420 now there is a

00:15:47.260 little hoarding

00:15:48.040 and there's a

00:15:48.520 question of the

00:15:49.100 government taking

00:15:50.020 control of them

00:15:50.860 to move them

00:15:51.400 where they need

00:15:51.900 to be

00:15:52.260 which I think

00:15:53.160 is the right

00:15:53.580 answer

00:15:53.900 they should do

00:15:54.520 that

00:15:54.800 but

00:15:55.740 could we

00:15:57.600 possibly be

00:15:58.580 less informed

00:15:59.500 about the

00:16:00.260 biggest question

00:16:01.020 it's the

00:16:02.000 biggest question

00:16:02.700 and I can't

00:16:03.920 even tell you

00:16:04.600 you know

00:16:05.840 the continent

00:16:07.140 that the answer

00:16:08.040 is on

00:16:08.480 totally

00:16:10.140 unacceptable

00:16:10.720 how soon

00:16:16.480 before the

00:16:17.140 the Trump

00:16:17.920 pills

00:16:18.380 that would

00:16:18.740 be the

00:16:19.100 what I

00:16:20.020 call the

00:16:20.460 hydroxychloroquine

00:16:22.440 how soon

00:16:23.720 before they're

00:16:24.260 standard for

00:16:24.880 treating the

00:16:25.560 coronavirus

00:16:26.000 well

00:16:28.800 I don't

00:16:29.960 know if

00:16:30.360 it'll be

00:16:30.640 standard

00:16:31.240 until

00:16:32.740 we actually

00:16:34.620 have some

00:16:35.020 test results

00:16:35.680 and that might

00:16:36.140 be a month

00:16:36.600 from now

00:16:36.980 so I guess

00:16:37.740 there's a

00:16:38.080 test in the

00:16:38.580 United States

00:16:39.160 that will

00:16:39.700 have some

00:16:40.220 results

00:16:40.560 in a month

00:16:40.980 so it

00:16:42.560 depends what

00:16:42.920 you mean

00:16:43.140 by standard

00:16:43.640 I think

00:16:43.980 lots of

00:16:44.360 doctors

00:16:44.680 will do

00:16:45.540 off-label

00:16:46.180 prescriptions

00:16:47.460 just based

00:16:48.420 on anecdotal

00:16:49.160 stuff

00:16:49.560 but does

00:16:50.520 that make

00:16:50.820 that a

00:16:51.140 standard

00:16:51.400 I don't

00:16:51.800 know

00:16:52.220 I don't

00:16:57.100 understand

00:16:57.760 that question

00:16:58.560 from

00:16:59.700 Comzilla

00:17:00.320 420

00:17:00.960 Scott

00:17:04.920 Scott

00:17:04.940 Scott

00:17:04.960 if you

00:17:05.240 could put

00:17:05.500 a single

00:17:05.940 word

00:17:06.480 to all

00:17:07.540 that's

00:17:07.800 happened

00:17:08.140 so far

00:17:08.820 since

00:17:09.300 January

00:17:09.820 what would

00:17:11.080 it be

00:17:11.540 okay

00:17:12.460 well you

00:17:12.880 can

00:17:13.020 you can

00:17:13.420 all play

00:17:13.780 along

00:17:14.120 so if

00:17:15.420 you had

00:17:15.680 to describe

00:17:16.420 the situation

00:17:17.420 the coronavirus

00:17:18.580 world situation

00:17:20.100 in one word

00:17:21.660 since January

00:17:22.820 what would

00:17:24.300 it be

00:17:24.880 how about

00:17:29.860 transformative

00:17:30.920 I think

00:17:32.860 it's

00:17:33.040 transformative

00:17:33.720 because

00:17:34.840 so much

00:17:36.340 about the

00:17:36.780 way we

00:17:37.120 think of

00:17:37.620 our world

00:17:38.100 will change

00:17:38.800 aside from

00:17:42.580 Christina

00:17:43.080 tickling

00:17:43.760 Chopin

00:17:44.440 meaning on

00:17:46.240 the piano

00:17:46.620 what other

00:17:48.080 music soothes

00:17:49.020 you these

00:17:50.580 days

00:17:50.880 well I'm not

00:17:51.700 a music

00:17:52.060 guy

00:17:52.360 I wish

00:17:52.700 I were

00:17:53.020 I've

00:17:54.060 never

00:17:54.400 you know

00:17:55.600 I can

00:17:56.180 enjoy

00:17:56.680 a hit

00:17:57.480 song

00:17:57.940 for a

00:17:59.100 while

00:17:59.400 before I

00:17:59.960 get tired

00:18:00.300 of it

00:18:00.560 but

00:18:00.840 I just

00:18:02.100 don't

00:18:02.700 enjoy

00:18:02.960 music

00:18:03.460 I listen

00:18:05.580 to it

00:18:05.920 sometimes

00:18:06.440 but only

00:18:07.060 medicinally

00:18:09.300 I've said

00:18:10.480 this before

00:18:10.940 so I won't

00:18:11.560 bore the

00:18:12.220 rest of

00:18:12.540 you

00:18:12.680 but I

00:18:13.300 use music

00:18:13.920 medicinally

00:18:14.600 so for

00:18:15.280 example if

00:18:15.860 I'm working

00:18:16.620 out and I

00:18:17.300 want the 0.55

00:18:17.560 time to

00:18:17.920 go faster

00:18:18.460 I might

00:18:19.280 find some

00:18:19.700 music that

00:18:20.280 that's good

00:18:21.040 for working

00:18:21.520 out

00:18:21.760 but I

00:18:22.740 don't like

00:18:23.120 random

00:18:23.560 music

00:18:24.100 programming

00:18:25.020 my brain

00:18:25.800 just because

00:18:27.600 I turned

00:18:28.220 on

00:18:28.540 you know

00:18:29.360 serious

00:18:29.780 and music

00:18:31.060 was coming

00:18:31.540 in I

00:18:31.820 don't like

00:18:32.200 to be

00:18:32.460 programmed

00:18:32.880 without

00:18:33.200 my

00:18:33.480 consent

00:18:34.580 initial

00:18:37.480 remdesivir

00:18:39.020 trial should

00:18:39.980 have concluded

00:18:40.640 last week

00:18:41.340 any news

00:18:42.100 well

00:18:43.240 yes

00:18:44.340 here's the

00:18:45.160 news

00:18:45.540 there's no

00:18:46.600 positive

00:18:47.080 news

00:18:47.560 which I

00:18:48.920 think is

00:18:49.460 all you

00:18:49.780 need to

00:18:50.160 know

00:18:50.480 if you

00:18:52.240 saw the

00:18:52.800 survey

00:18:53.540 of

00:18:53.980 6,000

00:18:54.880 doctors

00:18:55.340 were

00:18:55.540 surveyed

00:18:56.060 about

00:18:56.880 what

00:18:57.360 meds

00:18:57.880 they

00:18:58.100 think

00:18:58.480 are

00:18:58.640 working

00:18:59.000 so

00:18:59.460 that's

00:18:59.800 the

00:19:00.260 most

00:19:01.100 unscientific

00:19:01.960 way you

00:19:02.360 could get

00:19:02.780 an answer

00:19:03.900 of course

00:19:04.240 is just

00:19:04.560 asking their

00:19:05.160 opinions

00:19:05.580 but based

00:19:06.840 on the

00:19:07.120 doctors

00:19:07.480 who are

00:19:07.640 actually

00:19:07.860 doing

00:19:08.120 the work

00:19:08.600 they thought

00:19:09.540 the

00:19:09.880 the

00:19:10.940 trump

00:19:11.160 pills

00:19:11.640 were

00:19:12.640 the

00:19:13.040 most

00:19:13.900 effective

00:19:14.420 again

00:19:14.980 just

00:19:15.420 anecdotally

00:19:16.140 but I

00:19:17.880 looked for

00:19:18.460 remdesivir

00:19:20.040 on the

00:19:20.400 list

00:19:20.720 and it

00:19:21.360 was way

00:19:21.840 down the

00:19:22.200 list

00:19:22.560 and I

00:19:23.180 don't know

00:19:23.440 if that

00:19:23.660 just means

00:19:24.140 that most

00:19:25.160 doctors have

00:19:25.900 no experience

00:19:26.660 with it

00:19:27.120 which you'd

00:19:28.600 have to assume

00:19:29.160 that most

00:19:29.660 have never

00:19:30.260 never prescribed

00:19:31.360 it

00:19:31.640 or

00:19:33.360 they've

00:19:34.300 heard

00:19:34.780 they've

00:19:35.480 heard

00:19:35.840 things

00:19:36.280 and it's

00:19:36.780 not good

00:19:37.320 so

00:19:38.280 you're

00:19:38.800 right

00:19:39.120 enough

00:19:39.940 time has

00:19:40.420 gone by

00:19:41.040 that we

00:19:42.160 should have

00:19:42.600 at least

00:19:43.180 initial

00:19:44.000 indications

00:19:46.640 that it

00:19:47.040 works

00:19:47.280 and at

00:19:48.240 the very

00:19:48.480 least

00:19:48.920 the task

00:19:49.980 force

00:19:50.260 would have

00:19:50.600 heard

00:19:50.900 a little

00:19:51.660 bit early

00:19:52.080 don't you

00:19:52.400 think

00:19:52.620 don't you

00:19:53.500 think

00:19:53.640 the task

00:19:54.140 force

00:19:54.540 is already

00:19:55.680 getting

00:19:56.000 early

00:19:56.380 indications

00:19:56.900 from the

00:19:57.360 trials

00:19:57.700 they just

00:19:58.080 don't want

00:19:58.420 to tell

00:19:58.640 the public

00:19:59.060 for good

00:19:59.500 reasons

00:19:59.820 and if

00:20:01.400 the task

00:20:01.880 force

00:20:02.180 were hearing

00:20:02.740 good things

00:20:03.480 about

00:20:03.780 remdesivir

00:20:04.700 I feel

00:20:06.080 like we

00:20:06.460 would have

00:20:06.840 heard about

00:20:07.840 it

00:20:08.120 now

00:20:09.560 they wouldn't

00:20:10.340 have said

00:20:10.680 it works

00:20:11.340 but they

00:20:12.440 might have

00:20:12.780 said

00:20:13.060 we're

00:20:13.300 hearing

00:20:13.560 good

00:20:13.840 things

00:20:14.340 about

00:20:14.700 remdesivir

00:20:15.580 we hope

00:20:16.980 it ends

00:20:17.340 up the

00:20:17.680 way

00:20:17.960 it's

00:20:18.640 starting

00:20:18.860 to look

00:20:19.220 they would

00:20:19.700 have

00:20:19.880 teased

00:20:21.300 that it's

00:20:21.840 looking

00:20:22.200 good

00:20:22.640 but

00:20:23.780 short

00:20:24.440 of that

00:20:24.860 teasing

00:20:25.320 I'd have

00:20:26.020 to say

00:20:26.380 probably

00:20:26.780 it doesn't

00:20:27.520 if you had

00:20:28.740 to bet

00:20:29.060 on it

00:20:29.420 I think

00:20:29.920 we would

00:20:30.220 have heard

00:20:30.460 about it

00:20:30.800 if it

00:20:31.020 did work

00:20:31.460 should

00:20:35.300 Trump

00:20:35.660 offer to

00:20:36.060 add a

00:20:36.320 prominent

00:20:36.580 democrat

00:20:37.000 to the

00:20:37.340 task

00:20:37.620 force

00:20:37.940 and if

00:20:38.980 so

00:20:39.320 who

00:20:39.700 quick

00:20:40.480 answer

00:20:40.860 no

00:20:41.780 no

00:20:42.900 he should

00:20:43.300 not

00:20:43.620 he should

00:20:44.380 just do

00:20:44.820 whatever

00:20:45.100 works best

00:20:45.880 and adding

00:20:47.120 anybody who

00:20:47.780 would be

00:20:48.240 a

00:20:48.760 source of

00:20:50.360 conflict

00:20:50.840 or a

00:20:51.320 mole

00:20:51.560 or anything

00:20:52.420 not during

00:20:53.760 an emergency

00:20:54.320 bill

00:20:57.920 gates

00:20:58.240 conducted

00:20:58.720 an

00:20:59.060 event

00:20:59.520 in

00:21:00.540 2020

00:21:01.220 in

00:21:02.340 Wuhan

00:21:02.780 China

00:21:03.280 simulated

00:21:04.260 what

00:21:05.280 six

00:21:06.720 weeks

00:21:07.080 before

00:21:07.460 that

00:21:07.720 I don't

00:21:08.520 believe

00:21:08.760 that

00:21:09.020 so I'm

00:21:09.920 going to

00:21:10.080 say

00:21:10.280 that

00:21:10.520 don't

00:21:10.800 believe

00:21:11.020 I don't

00:21:11.320 believe

00:21:11.640 whatever

00:21:11.960 this

00:21:12.260 is

00:21:12.560 this

00:21:13.140 accusation

00:21:13.780 how

00:21:17.300 fast

00:21:17.780 could

00:21:18.000 we

00:21:18.180 realistically

00:21:18.880 move

00:21:19.380 manufacturers

00:21:20.140 back

00:21:20.680 from

00:21:20.920 China

00:21:21.220 well

00:21:22.080 I'll

00:21:22.540 tell

00:21:22.740 you

00:21:22.960 there

00:21:24.440 are

00:21:24.560 probably

00:21:24.820 a lot

00:21:25.160 of

00:21:25.280 things

00:21:25.580 that

00:21:25.800 are

00:21:25.920 really

00:21:26.160 really

00:21:26.400 complicated

00:21:27.040 because

00:21:27.440 it

00:21:27.540 would

00:21:27.620 take

00:21:27.800 a

00:21:27.920 long

00:21:28.120 time

00:21:28.340 to

00:21:28.480 build

00:21:28.660 a

00:21:28.820 factory

00:21:29.220 and

00:21:29.700 get

00:21:29.940 approval

00:21:30.360 and

00:21:30.820 you know

00:21:31.800 we get

00:21:32.060 a lot

00:21:32.300 of

00:21:32.500 red

00:21:33.300 tape

00:21:33.560 and

00:21:33.700 such

00:21:33.940 I

00:21:34.260 think

00:21:34.480 we

00:21:34.680 might

00:21:34.860 be

00:21:34.980 able

00:21:35.080 to

00:21:35.260 cut

00:21:35.500 some

00:21:35.760 of

00:21:35.840 the

00:21:35.940 red

00:21:36.140 tape

00:21:36.540 but

00:21:36.820 there

00:21:36.980 would

00:21:37.140 still

00:21:37.360 be

00:21:37.540 plenty

00:21:37.900 and

00:21:39.260 so

00:21:40.220 it

00:21:40.360 depends

00:21:40.780 and

00:21:42.220 the

00:21:42.540 things

00:21:42.860 which

00:21:43.160 are

00:21:43.400 easiest

00:21:44.240 to

00:21:44.640 move

00:21:44.820 back

00:21:45.220 are

00:21:45.960 the

00:21:46.120 ones

00:21:46.360 that

00:21:46.540 you

00:21:46.680 can

00:21:46.840 replace

00:21:47.240 with

00:21:47.440 a

00:21:47.580 robot

00:21:47.920 not

00:21:48.280 an

00:21:48.840 employee

00:21:49.240 so

00:21:50.240 what

00:21:50.420 you

00:21:50.520 might

00:21:50.720 see

00:21:51.080 because

00:21:51.680 this

00:21:51.880 trend

00:21:52.180 already

00:21:53.380 started

00:21:53.840 is

00:21:54.980 you

00:21:55.540 may

00:21:55.700 see

00:21:55.880 some

00:21:56.040 manufacturing

00:21:56.540 come

00:21:56.840 back

00:21:57.080 but

00:21:57.360 being

00:21:58.000 done

00:21:58.240 by

00:21:58.460 robots

00:21:59.360 so

00:22:01.300 it's

00:22:01.440 a

00:22:01.540 mixed

00:22:01.700 bag

00:22:02.020 is

00:22:02.400 the

00:22:02.500 answer

00:22:02.760 what

00:22:05.460 is

00:22:05.600 likelihood

00:22:06.020 of a

00:22:06.420 retroactive

00:22:06.940 review

00:22:07.380 of deaths

00:22:07.800 currently

00:22:08.260 attributed

00:22:08.820 to

00:22:09.080 COVID

00:22:09.380 19

00:22:09.980 to

00:22:10.500 determine

00:22:10.860 the

00:22:11.100 actual

00:22:11.560 cause

00:22:11.940 of

00:22:12.100 death

00:22:12.340 I

00:22:13.860 think

00:22:14.200 it's

00:22:15.580 highly

00:22:15.920 likely

00:22:16.320 that

00:22:16.680 no

00:22:16.880 matter

00:22:17.120 where

00:22:17.420 it

00:22:17.580 comes

00:22:17.800 out

00:22:18.200 that

00:22:19.760 people

00:22:21.380 will

00:22:21.680 dig

00:22:21.960 in

00:22:22.220 and

00:22:22.420 say

00:22:22.580 it

00:22:22.700 was

00:22:22.840 done

00:22:23.060 wrong

00:22:23.400 I

00:22:24.460 think

00:22:24.820 so

00:22:25.700 I

00:22:25.840 think

00:22:26.040 it's

00:22:26.600 a

00:22:26.720 guarantee

00:22:27.060 that

00:22:27.360 people

00:22:27.600 will

00:22:27.860 criticize

00:22:28.260 it

00:22:28.600 whether

00:22:28.880 the

00:22:29.120 critics

00:22:29.420 are

00:22:29.660 right

00:22:30.320 or

00:22:30.440 not

00:22:30.760 we

00:22:31.240 won't

00:22:31.480 know

00:22:32.000 is

00:22:37.480 shakedown

00:22:38.220 street

00:22:38.660 type

00:22:39.160 vending

00:22:39.660 at

00:22:40.000 dead

00:22:40.540 show

00:22:40.820 I

00:22:41.040 don't

00:22:41.180 know

00:22:41.300 what

00:22:41.400 that

00:22:41.520 is

00:22:41.740 do

00:22:43.740 I

00:22:43.860 need

00:22:44.000 to

00:22:44.160 wear

00:22:44.340 a

00:22:44.500 mask

00:22:44.940 while

00:22:46.100 walking

00:22:46.640 my

00:22:46.900 dog

00:22:47.320 well

00:22:49.560 it

00:22:50.860 depends

00:22:51.280 how

00:22:52.040 embarrassed

00:22:52.700 your

00:22:53.000 dog

00:22:53.340 is

00:22:53.600 to

00:22:53.760 be

00:22:53.900 out

00:22:54.060 with

00:22:54.280 you

00:22:54.480 if

00:22:55.860 you

00:22:55.960 ever

00:22:56.100 notice

00:22:56.420 that

00:22:56.540 your

00:22:56.660 dog

00:22:57.060 sort

00:22:57.580 of

00:22:57.700 looks

00:22:57.880 away

00:22:58.260 and

00:22:58.580 feels

00:22:59.020 embarrassed

00:22:59.580 when

00:23:00.080 you're

00:23:00.300 out

00:23:00.460 walking

00:23:00.800 the

00:23:01.020 dog

00:23:01.260 you

00:23:02.660 better

00:23:02.840 wear

00:23:03.040 a

00:23:03.200 mask

00:23:03.540 because

00:23:04.720 you

00:23:05.260 don't

00:23:05.400 want

00:23:05.580 to

00:23:05.660 embarrass

00:23:05.920 your

00:23:06.100 dog

00:23:06.360 can

00:23:07.900 you

00:23:08.060 teach

00:23:08.480 lucid

00:23:09.200 dreaming

00:23:09.560 I've

00:23:10.000 heard

00:23:10.200 people

00:23:10.540 say

00:23:10.780 that

00:23:10.940 you

00:23:11.060 can

00:23:11.360 it's

00:23:13.040 nothing

00:23:13.300 I've

00:23:13.640 experienced

00:23:14.320 with

00:23:14.720 well

00:23:15.480 I have

00:23:15.760 experience

00:23:16.200 of

00:23:16.480 trading

00:23:17.220 myself

00:23:17.740 to do

00:23:18.120 it

00:23:18.320 and it's

00:23:18.820 just a

00:23:19.160 process

00:23:19.480 of thinking

00:23:19.980 about

00:23:20.260 something

00:23:20.700 and then

00:23:21.720 sometimes

00:23:22.220 your dream

00:23:23.180 will extend

00:23:23.740 that thought

00:23:24.240 so there's

00:23:24.620 no real trick

00:23:25.720 to it

00:23:26.100 sometimes it

00:23:27.360 works and

00:23:27.760 sometimes it

00:23:28.300 doesn't

00:23:28.700 but if you

00:23:30.220 think of a

00:23:31.140 certain scenario

00:23:31.900 before you go to

00:23:32.980 sleep

00:23:33.300 and you're

00:23:34.520 dedicated to it

00:23:35.460 you might

00:23:36.000 dream it

00:23:37.880 how to

00:23:40.740 reconcile

00:23:41.200 New York

00:23:41.560 City

00:23:41.740 morgues

00:23:42.140 running

00:23:42.420 out of

00:23:42.760 room

00:23:43.020 with an

00:23:43.400 overall

00:23:43.720 lower

00:23:44.220 number

00:23:44.680 of

00:23:44.940 deaths

00:23:45.300 that's

00:23:48.220 a good

00:23:48.440 question

00:23:48.800 here's

00:23:49.760 my

00:23:50.000 guess

00:23:50.480 right

00:23:52.320 so we're

00:23:52.780 hearing

00:23:53.340 stuff that's

00:23:54.280 very conflicting

00:23:55.000 right

00:23:55.320 we're hearing

00:23:56.600 that the

00:23:57.400 morgue is

00:23:57.880 overrun

00:23:58.400 or at least

00:23:58.900 in one

00:23:59.500 place

00:23:59.940 they're

00:24:00.740 putting

00:24:01.340 bodies

00:24:01.820 in a

00:24:02.300 refrigerated

00:24:02.940 truck

00:24:03.300 at the

00:24:05.580 same time

00:24:06.240 it seems

00:24:06.760 that there

00:24:07.160 are lower

00:24:07.640 overall

00:24:08.260 accidents

00:24:08.780 in general

00:24:09.440 so how do

00:24:10.480 I explain

00:24:10.820 that

00:24:11.100 here would

00:24:12.020 be my

00:24:12.620 explanation

00:24:13.280 and this

00:24:14.740 is just

00:24:15.100 a guess

00:24:15.540 it could

00:24:16.500 be that

00:24:16.820 some

00:24:17.100 hospitals

00:24:17.800 were

00:24:19.180 specializing

00:24:20.040 in

00:24:20.260 coronavirus

00:24:20.660 so that

00:24:22.100 the hospital

00:24:22.760 that was

00:24:23.080 specializing

00:24:23.740 got all

00:24:24.200 the kinds

00:24:24.640 of cases

00:24:25.160 that people

00:24:25.720 die

00:24:26.120 so they

00:24:27.000 were just

00:24:27.260 sort of

00:24:27.560 bunched up

00:24:28.020 in one

00:24:28.320 area

00:24:28.680 but maybe

00:24:29.800 had more

00:24:30.200 to do

00:24:30.520 with that

00:24:31.180 hospital

00:24:31.600 handling

00:24:32.100 the tough

00:24:32.600 cases

00:24:33.080 because

00:24:34.260 otherwise

00:24:34.600 we'd see

00:24:35.080 it in

00:24:35.280 the other

00:24:35.520 hospitals

00:24:35.980 and we're

00:24:36.560 not

00:24:36.780 so that's

00:24:37.480 my guess

00:24:37.980 so we

00:24:39.320 should still

00:24:39.780 see some

00:24:40.400 problems

00:24:41.060 upcoming

00:24:41.500 maybe

00:24:42.280 can the

00:24:44.740 US cancel

00:24:45.520 the debt

00:24:46.080 to China

00:24:46.760 well

00:24:48.200 you know

00:24:48.840 in the sense

00:24:49.380 that you can

00:24:49.720 do anything

00:24:50.240 but you

00:24:51.000 know

00:24:51.600 but if

00:24:53.640 you cancel

00:24:54.340 a debt

00:24:55.020 then there

00:24:55.780 goes your

00:24:56.180 credit worthiness

00:24:57.180 so the

00:24:58.580 cost is

00:24:59.160 usually bigger

00:24:59.720 than the

00:25:00.060 gain

00:25:00.320 is drama

00:25:02.380 important

00:25:02.980 to the

00:25:03.320 world

00:25:03.700 yes

00:25:04.960 yes it

00:25:05.740 is

00:25:06.100 drama

00:25:06.900 is important

00:25:07.500 to the

00:25:07.780 world

00:25:08.060 meaning

00:25:08.560 that if

00:25:09.000 there

00:25:09.240 wasn't

00:25:09.620 some

00:25:09.900 here

00:25:10.120 naturally

00:25:10.580 we would

00:25:11.140 create

00:25:11.540 some

00:25:11.820 because we

00:25:12.320 need it

00:25:12.780 you see it

00:25:13.500 in your

00:25:13.720 personal life

00:25:14.340 all the

00:25:14.620 time

00:25:14.900 people like

00:25:16.280 drama

00:25:16.700 we kind

00:25:17.740 of like

00:25:18.040 it

00:25:18.320 and then

00:25:19.120 the news

00:25:19.520 business

00:25:19.880 of course

00:25:20.400 operates

00:25:21.200 on that

00:25:21.560 drama

00:25:21.860 so yeah

00:25:22.540 it's

00:25:23.080 important

00:25:23.740 maybe it

00:25:25.340 shouldn't

00:25:25.560 be

00:25:25.820 what to

00:25:27.300 do if

00:25:27.700 you're

00:25:27.860 very

00:25:28.120 sick

00:25:28.460 well

00:25:28.700 that's

00:25:29.200 that's

00:25:29.720 a doctor

00:25:30.060 question

00:25:30.580 new

00:25:32.440 top

00:25:32.780 ten

00:25:33.020 most

00:25:33.280 persuasive

00:25:33.860 words

00:25:34.440 I'm going

00:25:35.920 to tell

00:25:36.120 you something

00:25:36.440 that's going

00:25:36.800 to make

00:25:37.640 you mad

00:25:38.040 because I

00:25:38.360 can't tell

00:25:38.740 you the

00:25:39.000 real

00:25:39.200 secret

00:25:39.560 somewhere

00:25:40.680 in the

00:25:41.020 world

00:25:41.300 I came

00:25:42.640 across

00:25:43.120 a pod

00:25:46.140 of hypnotists

00:25:47.020 who created

00:25:48.940 a new

00:25:49.420 word

00:25:49.920 that is

00:25:50.920 so powerful

00:25:51.760 it's

00:25:52.920 crazy

00:25:53.480 and I

00:25:54.880 can't tell

00:25:55.340 you the

00:25:55.580 word

00:25:55.820 because then

00:25:56.360 you would

00:25:56.600 go find

00:25:57.060 it and

00:25:57.400 you would

00:25:57.660 be

00:25:57.960 sucked

00:25:58.840 into

00:25:59.180 these

00:25:59.680 evil

00:26:00.300 hypnotist

00:26:01.120 schemes

00:26:03.160 but just

00:26:04.640 trust me

00:26:05.080 I came

00:26:05.720 across it

00:26:06.320 and I

00:26:06.520 just thought

00:26:06.880 to myself

00:26:07.240 that is

00:26:07.680 the most

00:26:07.960 powerful

00:26:08.520 word

00:26:10.000 so they

00:26:11.100 took an

00:26:11.620 existing

00:26:11.980 word

00:26:12.320 and repurposed

00:26:13.060 it

00:26:13.260 I can't

00:26:13.680 tell you

00:26:13.900 the word

00:26:14.280 I'm sorry

00:26:14.940 I just

00:26:15.820 can't

00:26:16.640 and

00:26:17.600 in repurposing

00:26:19.780 it

00:26:19.980 they imbued

00:26:21.200 it with

00:26:21.700 power

00:26:23.220 and it's

00:26:24.420 the most

00:26:24.720 powerful

00:26:25.120 thing I've

00:26:25.600 ever seen

00:26:26.120 so much

00:26:26.680 so it

00:26:27.240 could change

00:26:28.900 civilization

00:26:29.660 but I

00:26:31.280 can't tell

00:26:31.700 you what

00:26:31.960 it is

00:26:32.320 because

00:26:32.940 ideally

00:26:33.500 it won't

00:26:34.540 escape

00:26:34.980 from its

00:26:35.540 little world

00:26:36.280 but if

00:26:36.760 it does

00:26:37.200 oh my

00:26:37.640 god

00:26:38.240 so

00:26:39.300 so there's

00:26:41.840 a persuasive

00:26:42.540 word in

00:26:43.280 the wild

00:26:43.840 that is

00:26:44.800 designed

00:26:45.300 better than

00:26:46.080 the coronavirus

00:26:46.720 and I

00:26:47.800 don't know

00:26:48.020 if that's

00:26:48.340 going to

00:26:48.540 get out

00:26:48.900 but if

00:26:49.920 it does

00:26:50.460 if it

00:26:51.620 does

00:26:51.860 get out

00:26:52.340 like it's

00:26:52.820 a year

00:26:53.080 from now

00:26:53.600 and it's

00:26:54.920 like a

00:26:55.220 national

00:26:55.540 headline

00:26:55.940 or something

00:26:56.400 I'll tell

00:26:56.840 you what

00:26:57.100 it was

00:26:57.480 but I

00:26:58.520 don't want

00:26:58.980 to help

00:26:59.300 it

00:26:59.600 because it's

00:27:00.720 truly

00:27:01.360 evil

00:27:02.160 I'd have

00:27:05.100 to think

00:27:05.380 about some

00:27:05.740 other words

00:27:06.200 so that was

00:27:06.780 a terrible

00:27:07.140 answer

00:27:07.480 sorry

00:27:07.780 will the

00:27:09.680 country be

00:27:10.060 the same

00:27:10.720 when things

00:27:11.820 reverse

00:27:12.240 no it

00:27:13.040 won't be

00:27:13.300 the same

00:27:13.800 there's a

00:27:15.380 question of

00:27:15.760 how much

00:27:16.140 things will

00:27:16.560 change

00:27:17.020 my guess

00:27:18.260 is will

00:27:18.600 be 85%

00:27:19.540 the same

00:27:19.980 you know

00:27:21.160 eventually

00:27:21.620 not on

00:27:22.200 day one

00:27:22.600 but we'll

00:27:23.220 sort of

00:27:23.680 revert to

00:27:24.220 85%

00:27:24.960 the same

00:27:25.280 things that

00:27:26.360 will be

00:27:26.580 different

00:27:27.020 might be

00:27:27.560 temporary

00:27:27.920 such as

00:27:29.960 no large

00:27:31.360 gatherings

00:27:32.440 you know

00:27:33.520 I thought

00:27:33.960 that the

00:27:34.400 era of

00:27:35.160 large

00:27:35.660 group

00:27:36.480 gatherings

00:27:37.020 was going

00:27:37.920 to end

00:27:38.340 anyway

00:27:38.700 and I

00:27:39.700 thought it

00:27:39.980 was going

00:27:40.240 to sort

00:27:40.640 of end

00:27:40.920 this year

00:27:41.460 because

00:27:42.420 this is

00:27:43.240 the year

00:27:43.480 that drones

00:27:44.320 become

00:27:44.760 extra

00:27:45.180 dangerous

00:27:45.720 you know

00:27:47.060 they've been

00:27:47.560 getting more

00:27:47.940 dangerous

00:27:48.300 every year

00:27:48.760 but at

00:27:49.520 this point

00:27:49.980 it would

00:27:50.660 be just

00:27:51.020 so easy

00:27:51.520 for somebody

00:27:52.120 with bad

00:27:52.660 intentions

00:27:53.160 to do

00:27:54.780 something bad

00:27:55.460 with a

00:27:55.820 large

00:27:56.240 outdoor

00:27:56.780 crowd

00:27:57.400 especially

00:27:57.880 outdoor

00:27:58.360 with some

00:28:00.220 kind of a

00:28:00.640 drone attack

00:28:01.360 so

00:28:02.440 I've been

00:28:04.800 thinking that

00:28:05.480 large group

00:28:06.820 events were

00:28:07.600 probably going

00:28:08.260 to go away

00:28:08.860 and this

00:28:10.540 will just

00:28:10.820 push them

00:28:11.200 a little

00:28:11.420 further

00:28:11.740 now

00:28:12.580 if I had

00:28:13.440 to bet

00:28:13.900 though

00:28:14.260 I'd bet

00:28:15.160 they'll

00:28:15.360 come back

00:28:15.980 in the

00:28:16.900 long run

00:28:17.360 they might

00:28:17.720 go away

00:28:18.240 but I

00:28:18.760 think

00:28:18.920 they'll

00:28:19.100 come back

00:28:19.700 in a

00:28:20.500 year

00:28:20.680 so all

00:28:22.220 of the

00:28:22.640 all the

00:28:23.840 businesses

00:28:24.280 that are

00:28:24.900 hit the

00:28:25.240 hardest

00:28:25.680 they're

00:28:27.220 going to

00:28:27.420 be tough

00:28:27.840 you know

00:28:28.140 my

00:28:28.340 this cost

00:28:30.560 me my

00:28:31.040 job

00:28:31.360 basically

00:28:31.800 I don't

00:28:32.720 know the

00:28:33.020 outcome

00:28:33.320 yet

00:28:33.640 but when

00:28:34.560 this is

00:28:34.900 when this

00:28:35.400 is done

00:28:35.880 I don't

00:28:37.040 expect many

00:28:37.780 newspapers

00:28:38.360 to remain

00:28:39.020 in business

00:28:39.540 because a lot

00:28:40.560 of newspapers

00:28:41.020 were sort

00:28:41.680 of you know

00:28:42.500 they were

00:28:42.720 declining every

00:28:43.480 year from

00:28:43.980 a pretty

00:28:44.720 good profit

00:28:45.300 margin

00:28:45.640 but they

00:28:46.540 were getting

00:28:46.860 pretty close

00:28:47.580 to the

00:28:48.080 you know

00:28:48.720 the edge

00:28:49.480 of where

00:28:49.760 they could

00:28:50.080 stay in

00:28:50.480 business

00:28:50.900 so I

00:28:52.700 think three

00:28:53.340 quarters of

00:28:54.060 the local

00:28:54.560 newspapers

00:28:55.060 probably are

00:28:56.160 in a business

00:28:56.780 when this

00:28:57.620 is over

00:28:58.020 which means

00:28:59.260 three quarters

00:29:00.000 of my

00:29:00.600 income

00:29:00.920 just went

00:29:01.320 away

00:29:01.540 so

00:29:02.480 I'll

00:29:04.660 actually be

00:29:05.140 looking for

00:29:05.520 a job

00:29:06.020 so in

00:29:07.700 terms of

00:29:08.340 you know

00:29:08.700 how

00:29:08.940 how different

00:29:10.120 will things

00:29:10.580 be

00:29:10.780 well I

00:29:11.260 thought I

00:29:11.720 I thought

00:29:12.460 I was just

00:29:12.920 going to

00:29:13.160 retire

00:29:13.520 and you

00:29:14.800 know keep

00:29:15.260 on doing

00:29:15.620 what I

00:29:15.920 was going

00:29:16.200 to do

00:29:16.460 but I

00:29:17.200 actually have

00:29:17.640 to look

00:29:17.980 for a job

00:29:18.440 now like

00:29:19.560 a lot of

00:29:19.920 people will

00:29:20.260 be doing

00:29:20.500 now you

00:29:21.780 know I'm

00:29:22.120 not going

00:29:22.380 to starve

00:29:22.780 so I'm

00:29:23.140 not in

00:29:23.560 any kind

00:29:24.040 of dire

00:29:24.380 straits

00:29:24.840 but it

00:29:26.760 changed my

00:29:27.280 career I

00:29:28.460 mean I

00:29:28.840 will have to

00:29:29.560 retool

00:29:30.080 everything I'm

00:29:30.880 doing which

00:29:32.120 is you know

00:29:33.000 I kind of look

00:29:33.460 forward to it

00:29:34.020 frankly be a

00:29:34.820 nice challenge

00:29:35.400 and other

00:29:38.360 people you

00:29:39.120 know the

00:29:39.340 restaurant business

00:29:40.220 recreation business

00:29:41.320 lot of outdoor

00:29:41.980 stuff or

00:29:43.000 anything that

00:29:43.620 was you know

00:29:44.220 group activities

00:29:45.160 it's going to

00:29:47.460 be in bad

00:29:47.860 shape for a

00:29:48.360 long time

00:29:48.840 but let me

00:29:49.820 let me give

00:29:50.260 you the good

00:29:50.660 news everybody

00:29:51.220 focuses on

00:29:51.940 the bad

00:29:52.480 news because

00:29:53.040 that's it's

00:29:53.700 more obvious

00:29:54.480 more in your

00:29:55.020 face there's

00:29:56.520 definitely

00:29:56.860 something that's

00:29:57.580 happening to

00:29:58.200 me that I

00:30:01.060 wonder if it's

00:30:01.760 happening to

00:30:02.300 any of you

00:30:03.000 and it goes

00:30:04.700 like this

00:30:05.340 you've heard

00:30:06.020 the story about

00:30:06.840 baseline happiness

00:30:08.420 that people sort

00:30:10.380 of they're born

00:30:11.300 with a level

00:30:12.140 of happiness

00:30:12.740 that doesn't

00:30:14.140 seem to change

00:30:14.900 too much

00:30:15.520 unless they're

00:30:16.800 just having the

00:30:17.440 worst problems

00:30:18.320 in the world

00:30:18.880 but generally

00:30:19.980 you could have

00:30:20.600 you know a

00:30:21.200 good or bad

00:30:21.840 life and your

00:30:23.160 happiness doesn't

00:30:23.940 seem to change

00:30:24.600 that much

00:30:25.100 we're just sort

00:30:26.040 of born a

00:30:26.600 certain amount

00:30:27.060 of happiness

00:30:27.480 and it takes a

00:30:29.020 lot to move

00:30:29.580 us off of that

00:30:30.200 and the thing

00:30:32.640 that I've I'm

00:30:33.560 starting to learn

00:30:34.600 by having

00:30:36.360 everything taken

00:30:37.240 away from me

00:30:37.980 meaning well

00:30:40.040 look at the

00:30:40.440 things that

00:30:41.000 here are the

00:30:41.880 things that I've

00:30:42.440 lost you know

00:30:44.420 temporarily and

00:30:45.560 some permanently

00:30:46.160 so I've lost my

00:30:48.440 because I'm a

00:30:49.260 certain age and

00:30:50.040 risk factor right

00:30:50.880 I've lost the

00:30:51.820 ability to go

00:30:52.680 anywhere to just

00:30:54.320 leave my house

00:30:55.080 same with most

00:30:56.020 of you right

00:30:56.420 I've lost my

00:30:57.860 ability to you

00:30:59.060 know go to the

00:30:59.540 gym socialize

00:31:00.760 with people you

00:31:02.060 know go eat at a

00:31:02.880 restaurant I mean

00:31:03.460 all the things that

00:31:04.100 you can't do as

00:31:04.700 well but here's

00:31:06.160 the thing if I

00:31:08.780 had a choice I

00:31:09.740 would of course

00:31:10.380 want those back

00:31:12.120 but I'm not

00:31:13.960 less happy and I

00:31:16.580 don't know what's

00:31:17.340 up with that I

00:31:18.120 think it's just a

00:31:18.940 baseline happiness

00:31:19.780 thing as long as I

00:31:21.560 eat right and

00:31:22.440 sleep and you know

00:31:23.640 get some exercise

00:31:24.480 and stuff that my

00:31:27.480 happiness doesn't

00:31:28.180 change I mean if

00:31:29.500 you look at the

00:31:30.340 fact that my entire

00:31:31.320 career just blew up

00:31:32.700 like you know

00:31:34.560 probably half of the

00:31:35.700 people here just

00:31:37.220 had your job blow

00:31:38.480 up your retirement

00:31:39.540 blow up so you

00:31:41.220 know you gotta like

00:31:41.940 dig in again now

00:31:43.360 in theory that

00:31:45.200 should make me

00:31:45.800 really sad in

00:31:47.960 theory but it

00:31:49.780 didn't and so

00:31:52.260 here's what I

00:31:52.740 found out about

00:31:53.380 myself and I'm

00:31:55.640 wondering if any

00:31:56.260 of you had this

00:31:56.980 realization so what

00:31:58.920 I found out about

00:31:59.640 myself is that the

00:32:02.920 stuff I thought I

00:32:04.340 needed to make me

00:32:05.300 happy probably

00:32:07.220 wasn't that

00:32:07.780 important now

00:32:09.120 there's some

00:32:09.440 things you just

00:32:09.960 need to do you

00:32:10.760 need a certain

00:32:11.280 amount of variety

00:32:12.160 and I think I

00:32:13.780 think people have

00:32:14.540 to travel a little

00:32:15.500 bit for mental

00:32:17.340 health but if you

00:32:19.140 don't count the

00:32:19.680 fact that some of

00:32:20.420 it just has a

00:32:21.160 oppressive mental

00:32:22.340 health thing you

00:32:23.500 gotta hold together

00:32:24.280 but just what do

00:32:26.760 you need it turns

00:32:28.780 out it turns out I

00:32:30.800 guess I didn't need

00:32:31.560 that much because my

00:32:33.560 life has really

00:32:34.180 slowed down to you

00:32:35.900 know petting the

00:32:37.160 dog and taking a

00:32:39.140 nap and do some

00:32:40.560 work and talk on

00:32:42.380 periscope so so the

00:32:44.200 the stress of my

00:32:45.780 life weirdly you

00:32:46.880 know we're in this

00:32:47.600 in theory this should

00:32:49.560 be the most stress

00:32:50.320 I've ever had in my

00:32:51.000 life but I'm not

00:32:53.320 experiencing it that

00:32:54.420 way I mean I

00:32:56.000 definitely have my

00:32:56.840 my moments same as

00:32:57.980 most of you where

00:32:58.760 you know I can get

00:32:59.960 worked up about

00:33:00.780 worrying about

00:33:01.500 something but it

00:33:02.120 doesn't last too

00:33:02.720 long so I would

00:33:04.080 say that the

00:33:06.160 disconnect between

00:33:07.420 the things I think

00:33:08.520 make me happy and

00:33:10.700 the fact that most

00:33:12.380 of them just went

00:33:13.040 away including my

00:33:15.120 career I mean think

00:33:17.140 about it I mean my

00:33:18.940 career just went

00:33:19.560 away and I don't

00:33:21.280 feel that sad you

00:33:23.320 know I'd be more

00:33:24.440 sad if I was

00:33:25.720 worrying about eating

00:33:26.540 or something but I'm

00:33:28.060 not so I think that

00:33:31.740 maybe there's

00:33:33.020 something we learned

00:33:33.940 in this that's

00:33:35.340 important somebody

00:33:37.320 else pointed out

00:33:38.420 imagine how terrible

00:33:39.560 this would have been

00:33:40.240 if we didn't have

00:33:41.060 smartphones and you

00:33:42.800 know Netflix and

00:33:43.680 screens because pretty

00:33:45.900 much people are in

00:33:46.880 survival mode just

00:33:47.960 looking at their

00:33:48.460 little screens because

00:33:49.440 they can't talk to

00:33:50.100 people or go

00:33:50.640 anywhere but it

00:33:52.160 works our little

00:33:53.480 screens are pretty

00:33:54.140 good so I'm glad

00:33:55.240 we had this glad

00:33:57.220 we had this problem

00:33:57.940 we had good

00:33:58.840 technology

00:33:59.820 let's see

00:34:03.680 what are the odds

00:34:05.780 that we'll have

00:34:06.360 hundreds of

00:34:06.960 thousands of

00:34:07.660 deaths well the

00:34:09.000 the experts say

00:34:11.420 pretty good and I

00:34:13.400 say pretty low

00:34:14.500 well I don't know

00:34:16.000 I'm not sure if you

00:34:17.360 can calculate odds

00:34:18.540 in this because my

00:34:20.520 bet is based on us

00:34:22.220 getting really

00:34:23.640 effective really

00:34:24.520 quickly and so

00:34:27.500 you can't really

00:34:27.880 predict that so

00:34:28.800 it could be an

00:34:29.800 invention a an

00:34:31.440 insight a drug or

00:34:32.660 something but I

00:34:34.840 think we'll be on

00:34:35.720 the lowest of the

00:34:36.660 low side of deaths

00:34:37.800 because we're so

00:34:39.180 darn clever

00:34:39.840 why does the model

00:34:45.080 we are told to look

00:34:46.040 at meaning the model

00:34:47.060 for the coronavirus

00:34:47.980 deaths continue to

00:34:50.860 give projected

00:34:51.560 numbers that are

00:34:52.460 already proven wrong

00:34:53.740 I don't know

00:34:56.200 there are two ways

00:34:57.840 there are two

00:34:58.840 schools of thought

00:34:59.540 one is that you

00:35:00.460 adjust your model

00:35:01.580 every day as you've

00:35:02.740 got actuals and

00:35:04.940 the other is that

00:35:06.180 you're more honest

00:35:07.080 and you say all

00:35:08.040 right we're not

00:35:09.060 going to change

00:35:09.560 what we predicted

00:35:10.380 we'll just change

00:35:11.580 the line of where

00:35:12.620 it actually is so

00:35:14.020 that you can see

00:35:14.560 how bad our model

00:35:15.780 was it's a little

00:35:16.960 more honest to

00:35:18.640 not update it

00:35:19.560 every day so

00:35:20.660 that people can

00:35:21.440 see what you

00:35:21.940 thought it was

00:35:22.520 compared to what

00:35:23.140 it is if you

00:35:24.320 update it every

00:35:24.960 day it feels a

00:35:27.340 little like cheating

00:35:27.980 all right

00:35:29.240 how would the

00:35:36.620 world change if

00:35:37.700 we allowed the

00:35:38.620 weak to die

00:35:39.620 well that's a

00:35:42.060 dark question but

00:35:43.000 I'll answer it

00:35:43.620 I like dark

00:35:44.320 questions

00:35:44.820 here's how the

00:35:45.980 world would change

00:35:46.940 if we allowed the

00:35:47.920 weak to die

00:35:48.840 we'd have a long

00:35:50.700 argument about what

00:35:51.800 that included

00:35:52.540 because talk about

00:35:55.620 your talk about a

00:35:57.800 system that will

00:35:58.480 eat itself as soon

00:36:00.140 as you get to

00:36:00.700 decide who's weak

00:36:01.700 your whole system

00:36:04.860 blows up so you

00:36:06.300 can't really do that

00:36:07.080 you know I have to

00:36:08.340 say one of the

00:36:08.880 strongest things about

00:36:10.400 humanity is that we

00:36:12.780 have these kinds of

00:36:14.080 arguments and that

00:36:16.080 usually what wins is

00:36:18.640 the side of we're

00:36:19.560 going to keep

00:36:19.960 everybody alive no

00:36:20.960 matter what and we

00:36:21.880 argue you know

00:36:22.940 whether it's the

00:36:23.820 abortion question or

00:36:25.000 whether it's

00:36:25.460 coronavirus we always

00:36:27.320 have at least half of

00:36:28.180 the country arguing

00:36:29.840 that there's no gray

00:36:32.740 zone when it comes to

00:36:34.060 life there's no gray

00:36:36.020 zone it's like if you

00:36:37.540 can protect it if it

00:36:39.680 might be a life if it's

00:36:40.980 if it's arguably a life

00:36:42.500 if somebody could think

00:36:43.980 it's a life you protect

00:36:45.840 it so at least half the

00:36:47.380 country has that

00:36:48.120 impulse no matter the

00:36:49.780 topic we're just going

00:36:51.460 to you know of course

00:36:52.840 they may feel differently

00:36:53.900 about guilty life you

00:36:55.280 know if you if you're

00:36:56.320 a murderer or something

00:36:57.200 terrorist but if you're

00:36:59.600 innocent half the

00:37:01.100 country is going to work

00:37:02.300 really hard to keep you

00:37:03.500 alive even if somebody

00:37:05.820 else has an argument

00:37:06.620 why they shouldn't so I

00:37:08.260 like that about humans

00:37:09.460 what is your take on

00:37:14.880 plant-based yogurt plant

00:37:16.400 based food you know I

00:37:19.180 don't believe anything

00:37:19.900 anymore so anything I

00:37:22.260 would know about diet is

00:37:24.260 because experts told me

00:37:26.080 and there's no topic in

00:37:28.680 which the experts have

00:37:29.620 been more wrong for more

00:37:31.700 years consecutively than

00:37:33.240 nutrition so I swear I

00:37:36.960 don't know what to believe

00:37:37.900 anymore about nutrition

00:37:40.180 or a lot of things that

00:37:41.460 I'd rely on the experts

00:37:42.860 for do you think putting

00:37:45.360 Adam Schiff on the

00:37:46.280 recovery task force would

00:37:48.440 be a stroke of political

00:37:49.660 genius that would be the

00:37:51.460 worst idea in the world

00:37:52.540 that I'm very much in

00:37:55.100 favor of you know working

00:37:57.740 with your you know your

00:37:59.580 political nemeses in an

00:38:02.600 emergency but Adam Schiff

00:38:04.780 is not a political you

00:38:06.440 you know nemesis there's

00:38:08.740 something wrong with him

00:38:09.800 can we agree with that

00:38:11.760 it's one thing to say hey

00:38:13.600 I'm a Democrat I'm going

00:38:14.640 to fight for my side or

00:38:15.840 I'm a Republican I'm going

00:38:17.040 to fight for my side but

00:38:18.580 that's not what Adam Schiff's

00:38:20.140 doing Adam Schiff has

00:38:22.300 something that looks more

00:38:23.540 like a mental problem you

00:38:25.680 know playing out in some

00:38:27.120 kind of political drama if

00:38:30.400 it looked like it was just a

00:38:31.880 political disagreement you

00:38:34.140 know and and you know I've

00:38:35.920 tried to reach out when you

00:38:38.280 know when Chris Cuomo was

00:38:40.000 diagnosed I'd said some nice

00:38:41.560 words Kathy Griffin you know

00:38:44.880 I basically I've been trying

00:38:45.840 to to boost the signal of

00:38:48.300 people I normally wouldn't

00:38:49.620 because it just sends that

00:38:52.260 signal that we're you know on

00:38:53.620 the same team at the moment but

00:38:55.540 Schiff doesn't seem like one of

00:38:57.180 them you know it's easy for me

00:38:59.680 to like AOC even if I dislike

00:39:02.520 every policy she mentions

00:39:04.240 because I think she is you

00:39:06.460 know has good intentions and

00:39:07.920 she's a real politician 0.99

00:39:09.740 Schiff is something else

00:39:12.160 whatever is going on with him

00:39:14.860 it's not about politics there's

00:39:16.480 just something something deeply

00:39:18.800 broken there I can't put my

00:39:20.660 finger on it all right how are

00:39:24.000 Boo and Snickers doing they're

00:39:25.400 doing great they're my only

00:39:26.760 company so they're getting a lot

00:39:28.000 of attention what do you think

00:39:31.060 will be the main attack on

00:39:32.420 Trump leading up to the

00:39:33.360 election everything depends on

00:39:35.380 the coronavirus everything

00:39:37.660 depends on it because and I

00:39:42.440 think that no matter how well

00:39:43.940 the president does it's always

00:39:46.420 going to be complicated and

00:39:47.700 they'll always be able to say

00:39:49.020 you should have done it

00:39:49.800 differently it would have been

00:39:51.620 better but we can't prove it you

00:39:53.660 should have done it sooner even

00:39:55.140 though we didn't know you should

00:39:56.120 do it sooner either so they'll

00:39:57.900 always have something to

00:39:59.080 complain about I'm guessing it'll

00:40:00.740 be the coronavirus will be the

00:40:02.180 main line of attack should the

00:40:07.160 White House press corps be

00:40:08.940 required to wear masks to protect

00:40:10.580 the president yes yes and yes I

00:40:15.660 can't tell you how my confidence in

00:40:18.240 the system is degraded by seeing the

00:40:20.460 task force and the press conferences

00:40:22.440 not wearing masks and being a little

00:40:25.660 too close to each other doesn't

00:40:28.320 that degrade your confidence in

00:40:29.880 their ability now Trump is sort of a

00:40:33.440 one-off and you could convince

00:40:35.720 yourself all right you know he is the

00:40:38.280 president you know maybe maybe you

00:40:41.700 don't want him to look weak and wear a

00:40:43.700 mask and you know people would make

00:40:46.180 fun of him and it would become a thing

00:40:47.840 so so you could make an argument that

00:40:50.100 the president is the one exception

00:40:51.960 that doesn't explain the rest of the

00:40:54.420 task force and because since one of

00:40:58.820 the main benefits of the of the mask is

00:41:02.060 to not infect other people you could

00:41:05.500 make the argument that the president

00:41:07.320 has been tested twice and they're doing

00:41:10.380 a good job of keeping people away from

00:41:11.980 them I don't know if they are but let's

00:41:13.120 say they are you can make the argument

00:41:14.800 that the president's the only person who

00:41:16.780 doesn't have to wear a mask because

00:41:19.280 we're not worried so much that he'll

00:41:20.880 give it to someone else the risk is

00:41:23.260 somebody will give it to him so you

00:41:25.060 would want all the other people around

00:41:26.440 him to wear masks even if he didn't

00:41:29.260 that's like minimum you know and if you

00:41:31.560 wore a mask too a little bit better but

00:41:33.940 you can imagine how he would be the

00:41:35.240 exception so yeah it I completely lose

00:41:39.900 confidence when I see them not wearing

00:41:41.880 masks as of today you know up till up

00:41:45.140 till now maybe you can make an argument

00:41:47.200 they didn't need it

00:41:48.520 war with China when well apparently we've 0.98

00:41:54.060 been in in a war with China they've been

00:41:56.140 killing tens of thousands of Americans

00:41:58.080 per year but they deny it so we believe

00:42:00.840 them oh the fentanyl totally accidental

00:42:03.440 yeah we'll take care of that sorry about

00:42:06.920 all the fentanyl yeah oh really did we

00:42:09.900 not take care of that already I thought

00:42:11.380 yeah Bob did we oh I get we didn't we're

00:42:15.060 so sorry I we'll take care of that we'll

00:42:18.380 take care of that right away so we're in a

00:42:21.980 war with China it's just a unconventional 0.99

00:42:25.440 one where they're killing us in their own

00:42:27.120 ways I don't know if we're killing them in

00:42:29.780 our own ways but I kind of hope so

00:42:32.300 how long before the vulnerable and the

00:42:36.140 elderly can leave their homes it's gonna 1.00

00:42:38.520 be a long time if I had to guess for

00:42:43.400 myself all right so I'm on the I'm on

00:42:46.840 the the barely you know edge of elderly I

00:42:50.460 like to think so so I'll be turning 63 in

00:42:54.260 June but I'm sort of a young young 63 I

00:42:58.260 like to think but even for me with just

00:43:02.480 like a little bit of asthma it's not like a

00:43:04.380 big deal but even for me I think I might

00:43:08.760 be stuck inside for six months I think I

00:43:13.760 mean it could easily be the end of the

00:43:15.160 year and if it went longer because they

00:43:17.780 say well it's only three months left and

00:43:20.180 then we'll have a vaccine you know suppose

00:43:21.800 they say that at the end of the year I

00:43:23.260 don't know if they would but if they

00:43:25.240 said that well it's gonna be tempting to

00:43:28.140 just stay another three months you know

00:43:30.700 just be sure so I think the people who

00:43:34.960 are at risk at least six months it's just

00:43:38.040 a gas and for other people I think may

00:43:44.560 will be when some people go back but

00:43:48.280 beyond that I don't know

00:43:49.700 what about the walks what about the

00:43:58.920 walks

00:43:59.280 oh well yeah I could go out for walks

00:44:04.180 so it's a little it's a little ambiguous

00:44:07.800 now whether I'm even allowed to go for a

00:44:10.560 walk

00:44:10.880 because I'm not sure that's allowed right

00:44:14.660 technically we're not really allowed

00:44:17.520 Barnes law help him understand so yeah

00:44:27.480 so you know there are a number of

00:44:30.280 people Adam Townsend and Robert Barnes

00:44:34.620 and there's some people who still have

00:44:37.480 taken the you know this might be

00:44:39.660 overblown and this isn't going to be as

00:44:42.420 bad as predicted there's still some

00:44:45.140 really smart people on that side which

00:44:48.120 is what keeps that movie alive for me

00:44:50.120 completely alive if if a month from

00:44:53.140 now if a month from now we're saying

00:44:56.080 man it just was nothing you know we

00:44:59.620 ended up fewer people died then then

00:45:02.900 were killed because of the you know

00:45:04.380 shutting down the economy if it turned

00:45:06.140 out to be the case I wouldn't even be a

00:45:08.700 little bit surprised at this point at

00:45:11.880 this point it would not surprise me to

00:45:14.020 find out the whole thing was overblown

00:45:16.260 but only because we're so good at

00:45:20.520 mitigating not because it wasn't a real

00:45:22.580 risk

00:45:22.980 another depression nope I don't think so

00:45:27.560 I don't think so

00:45:30.080 I think I actually am still very much on

00:45:36.040 the side of a quick recovery

00:45:37.920 you can go to the park in your state

00:45:48.000 people are saying back to work

00:45:49.680 yeah all right I think that's all I got

00:45:54.240 for tonight and I think that you should

00:45:58.600 have a terrific terrific night of sleep

00:46:01.540 I'm going to give you some brain hacking

00:46:04.440 tips so those of you who stay to the end

00:46:09.000 of these periscopes you get a little

00:46:10.480 extra because the other people bailed out

00:46:13.000 when I started reading questions they're

00:46:15.500 like I don't want to hear the questions

00:46:16.980 so here's some brain hack tips there are

00:46:22.720 the main way that you can hack your brain

00:46:26.220 which is rewiring your brain is by

00:46:28.600 association and I'll give you an example

00:46:32.000 let's say there's a TV show that you've

00:46:35.620 never been interested in and in my case

00:46:37.840 it's that TV show Golden Girls it's a

00:46:40.080 very old show if you're a certain age

00:46:42.040 you remember it it's called Golden Girls

00:46:44.220 you can still find it you know in

00:46:46.100 reruns for hundreds of years and

00:46:49.480 Christina recently when when we could

00:46:55.500 still see each other at the same time

00:46:56.900 started liking it and you know she

00:47:01.300 so she enjoyed watching some of the old

00:47:03.320 reruns now I enjoy of course being with

00:47:06.600 Christina so I would agree to watch that

00:47:08.920 show because I would be you know spooning

00:47:11.980 her and we'd be watching it on the iPad

00:47:13.720 and it was just so comfortable and

00:47:15.540 wonderful so I didn't I didn't care about

00:47:18.420 the show because I cared about the

00:47:20.800 experience it was more about just you

00:47:22.640 you know you know lazing around and

00:47:25.420 and spooning Christina but because

00:47:28.020 that's such a good experience I started

00:47:30.920 to love the show and if you think that

00:47:34.380 this is a sort of a one-off that you

00:47:36.220 don't understand how brains work that

00:47:38.280 simple association of the it was a thing

00:47:41.060 that I only associated with one thing

00:47:42.980 which was spooning Christina and so 1.00

00:47:47.180 since that was so much fun I started to

00:47:50.040 like the show now this is always the

00:47:52.260 case if you associate things together

00:47:54.420 those associations become your new

00:47:56.860 programming the the the opposite of

00:48:00.520 that and so you can change I've

00:48:03.400 actually experimented with us by the way

00:48:05.240 over the years I've experimented to see

00:48:08.760 if I can change what I thought was a

00:48:11.440 basic preference so you know you have a

00:48:14.160 favorite color and there's a food you

00:48:16.420 like you have these preferences and I've

00:48:18.960 actually experimented with quite a few

00:48:20.500 times it's something I've done for

00:48:21.740 years to see if I can make myself like

00:48:24.600 something that I don't like or or

00:48:28.060 dislike something that I really liked and

00:48:31.300 I've done it dozens and dozens and

00:48:33.060 dozens of times it's just easily

00:48:34.820 reproducible in both directions you can

00:48:37.740 actually just rewire your brain to like

00:48:39.920 different things you just have to work

00:48:41.920 at it so you have to reward yourself when

00:48:44.640 you do it if you want it if something you

00:48:46.260 want to like and if it's something you

00:48:48.940 know take the example of I was very

00:48:52.580 hooked on eating Snickers candy bars but

00:48:56.480 after I stayed off of them for a while I

00:48:59.140 just completely lost it and something

00:49:01.640 went from my favorite thing in the world

00:49:03.440 and I consciously rewired it to something

00:49:06.320 that I look at and I go why would I even

00:49:07.800 put this in my body like I can remember

00:49:10.180 what it tastes like and I'm still not

00:49:11.620 interested in it complete rewiring so you

00:49:15.440 can rewire your brain that way the other

00:49:16.760 way the other way you can do it is by

00:49:18.600 contrast because your brain is a contrast

00:49:21.540 engine and a pattern recognition engine

00:49:24.480 and so if you want to let's say if you

00:49:29.420 want to like something think about it in

00:49:32.440 contrast to the the worst alternative so

00:49:36.220 you can actually talk yourself into liking

00:49:37.940 something by thinking of it in the context

00:49:40.800 of something bad and so so manage your

00:49:46.480 contrasts because they're optional so it's

00:49:50.320 a trick that a real estate broker will use

00:49:52.440 you know the real estate broker will take

00:49:53.820 you to the really bad listing you'll be

00:49:57.160 like I can't live here and then after

00:50:01.060 several bad ones the the real estate agent

00:50:04.280 will take you to a nice one and then

00:50:06.260 you're all primed you're like I gotta have

00:50:08.060 this right now and you're like you know

00:50:09.800 I gotta sign this deal right now because

00:50:11.580 those other ones were so bad I only saw

00:50:13.300 one good one so that's using the concept

00:50:16.160 of contrast as soon as you saw one that

00:50:18.740 looked good you're you're sold now if the

00:50:22.480 broker had done it the other way which

00:50:24.740 is to show you something a little out of

00:50:26.320 your price range first and they're really

00:50:28.440 good and then show you that average one

00:50:31.060 that you could afford you wouldn't want it

00:50:32.700 and you might even change your mind about

00:50:34.800 buying a house at all because you'd be

00:50:36.640 like the only one I can afford is so bad

00:50:39.900 compared to these other good ones I saw

00:50:41.680 so you could manage your own contrast by

00:50:45.560 simply choosing what you're thinking

00:50:47.120 about so whenever you have the option

00:50:50.900 just manage the thing you're thinking

00:50:53.760 about next to the other things manage

00:50:56.380 their contrast and that will reprogram you

00:50:58.960 so those are a few tricks right there and

00:51:07.060 you also want to use the trick of

00:51:08.840 associating things with specific things I

00:51:11.960 told you in the cut in the context of

00:51:13.920 trying to get a good night's sleep you

00:51:16.480 only want to use your bed for sleeping and

00:51:20.240 or adult activities but you don't want to

00:51:23.060 use your bed as the place you go to watch

00:51:25.860 movies and stuff like that because then

00:51:28.240 your brain will think oh I'm in bed this

00:51:31.500 is the time I wake up to watch a movie

00:51:33.240 so make sure that you you have triggers

00:51:37.060 in your life that only are associated with

00:51:39.620 one state for example I also teach in my

00:51:43.440 book how to fill almost everything and

00:51:44.760 still went big that if you want to

00:51:46.800 exercise because you know it's good for

00:51:48.420 you but you get home from work and you

00:51:50.420 just don't have any energy and you're

00:51:51.940 like I worked all day I know I should

00:51:54.480 exercise I just can't do it the trick

00:51:57.260 that I teach is to put on your gym

00:51:59.940 clothes and especially your athletic

00:52:02.900 footwear now assuming that you don't

00:52:05.580 wear your your sneakers or your your

00:52:08.240 running shoes all day anyway if it's an

00:52:10.780 unusual feeling meaning that the only

00:52:13.760 time you have this kind of footwear on

00:52:15.280 is when you exercise that association

00:52:17.940 will trigger your desired exercise so you

00:52:22.180 could be not in the mood at all and say

00:52:23.880 ah but at least I can put my sneakers on

00:52:26.720 and you put them on and you walk around

00:52:28.800 a little bit and suddenly suddenly just

00:52:31.700 because you dressed for it it'll it'll

00:52:34.500 trigger you into that state so that's

00:52:37.440 another mind hack is find little triggers

00:52:40.440 that you can associate with just one

00:52:42.640 state and then reinforce them and

00:52:44.920 reinforce them until you can use that

00:52:46.740 trigger to reproduce that state the other

00:52:51.740 brain hack of course is they're talking

00:52:54.580 about too much is talent stacking you

00:52:57.860 know you have a certain set of talents and

00:52:59.700 then you intelligently layer new skills on

00:53:02.240 top you don't have to be the best of the

00:53:04.520 world just things that fit together

00:53:06.400 really well that becomes a brain hack

00:53:09.200 because all new ideas are really old ideas

00:53:14.060 just combined so for example if you knew

00:53:18.560 something about economics and something

00:53:20.500 about art history to pick two ridiculous

00:53:24.240 examples you might notice something in one

00:53:27.680 of those fields that gives you an idea for

00:53:30.700 the other field it's like oh in economics we

00:53:33.760 think of it this way our historians never

00:53:36.680 think of it this way but they could and so

00:53:39.180 it seems like a new idea but really most

00:53:41.660 ideas come from other fields so when you

00:53:44.760 combine your kit your talent stack and add

00:53:47.620 you know several unrelated skills together

00:53:49.980 that just work well together towards some

00:53:52.440 some end you you create the ability to be

00:53:57.440 more creative simply because you held in

00:54:01.740 your head more variety of patterns and

00:54:04.800 things and then you say oh that's like

00:54:07.880 macrame it's like oh that's like playing

00:54:10.080 the drums oh it's a little like this so

00:54:14.740 you can hack your brain to be more

00:54:16.420 creative simply by adding talents from

00:54:19.700 unrelated fields that's how it happens

00:54:21.480 and I could probably talk all day about

00:54:26.860 brain hacks but someday you got to get to

00:54:30.400 bed and you remember that since I

00:54:33.800 suggested that you would have a tremendous

00:54:35.740 night of sleep and you can remember me

00:54:38.620 counting to 20 if those of you who are

00:54:40.640 there to be to be hypnotized into being

00:54:44.840 able to do self-hypnosis just count to 20

00:54:48.180 when you get to 20 you will be relaxed and

00:54:50.700 drift off and between now and the next time

00:54:55.800 I see you in the morning 12 hours from now

00:54:58.660 have a great night's sleep and I will talk to

00:55:02.340 you in the morning

00:55:03.140 you

00:55:03.600 you

00:55:08.540 you

00:55:10.540 you

00:55:12.540 you

00:55:14.540 you

00:55:16.540 you

00:55:18.540 you
