00:00:08.020 Hey everybody, come on in here. Hey Donnie Diamonds, good to see ya.
00:00:14.420 What a day!
00:00:16.660 Well most of you are probably in church or headed to church or wish you were in church or doing a virtual zoom to church.
00:00:24.740 I suppose nobody's actually going to church today, right?
00:00:27.580 Is there any place in the country you could actually go and be in the same room with each other?
00:00:32.720 I don't know. Maybe we'll find out.
00:00:36.000 Hey Omar, good morning, good morning.
00:00:39.980 Well there's not much going on today, which isn't just a continuation of what was going on yesterday.
00:00:45.220 But we'll talk about that, but not until we get the day started just right.
00:00:51.500 I'll be taking some questions, so if anybody wants to queue up to be a question asker,
00:00:57.580 this will be the time to do it.
00:00:59.300 But first, if you would like to enjoy the simultaneous sip, and of course you would, of course you would.
00:01:05.080 Yeah, you would.
00:01:07.540 All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or take your chalice or stein, a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.
00:01:12.100 Fill it with your favorite liquid.
00:01:14.180 I like coffee.
00:01:15.720 And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine to the day,
00:01:18.600 the thing that makes everything, including the pandemic, better.
00:01:23.780 It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now.
00:01:27.600 Go.
00:01:27.880 Well, let's see what's going on.
00:01:38.340 The South is open for church services.
00:01:40.320 What do you all think of that?
00:01:42.340 Do you think that your right to assemble in church should take priority over the health of the public?
00:01:53.980 Well, here's the way I look at it.
00:01:58.640 How could you go to church and have those good churchy feelings, but also be willing to kill grandma to do it?
00:02:09.120 So I'll give you my opinion.
00:02:12.500 Here's my opinion.
00:02:13.560 Freedom is good, but if the way you worship your god risks killing your grandmother for no good reason,
00:02:21.040 I would say you've made the wrong choice.
00:02:25.080 I wasn't expecting to take a strong stand against going to church today.
00:02:29.500 It just kind of came out.
00:02:33.660 As most of you know, I'm not a believer, but I'm very pro-religion,
00:02:37.920 because I think religion is, if properly used, and it's more often properly used than not,
00:02:44.900 religion is a tremendous benefit to most people.
00:02:47.280 So I hope you're enjoying your day today, but I have to question why anybody would get in any kind of a group
00:02:57.520 when the health risks are so high, and especially why would you do it on a religious day?
00:03:03.860 It seems like that should be the day that you're worshipping Satan.
00:03:08.840 If you were worshipping Satan, wouldn't it make sense to get together with a big group
00:03:12.400 so you could get everybody infected and kill everybody in the nursing home?
00:03:17.700 Feels a little more like Satan-ish, but that's up to you.
00:03:23.520 All right.
00:03:25.420 You're all familiar with Voice of America.
00:03:27.420 That's our U.S.-funded entity that broadcasts radio into other countries
00:03:34.420 so that we can propagandize them and tell them that we're pretty darn awesome here.
00:03:39.100 Pretty darn awesome.
00:03:42.400 And, apparently, Voice of America is not as objective as we'd like it to be,
00:03:49.540 and it's been accused by our government of, we spend $200 million a year on the Voice of America,
00:03:56.960 and apparently it's starting to spout Chinese propaganda.
00:04:03.760 That's right.
00:04:04.480 We're spending however many millions of dollars on the World Health Organization
00:04:08.700 to not give us, you know, to not give us good health information.
00:04:14.980 We spend all this money on the World Trade Organization
00:04:18.560 to not give us fair trials.
00:04:22.700 And, apparently, we're spending a lot of money on the Voice of America
00:04:26.640 to create propaganda against us.
00:04:30.500 And, I think that's probably an overstatement.
00:04:34.380 There have been some specific examples in which they seemed a little bit pro-China,
00:04:41.060 which is weird.
00:04:42.300 I don't know how that could happen,
00:04:44.280 given that we're the ones who fund it.
00:04:45.960 I don't know.
00:04:46.560 Honestly, I don't know how it happens.
00:04:48.360 But, there it is.
00:04:49.080 So, anyway, that's a big story today.
00:04:50.580 I continue to wait for this sign before I decide to get afraid of the coronavirus.
00:05:00.140 As of today, I am not personally afraid.
00:05:03.260 I mean, I'm certainly afraid for the impact it might have on the country and other people.
00:05:08.120 But, for me personally, I'm pretty well isolated here.
00:05:12.860 Not too afraid.
00:05:13.560 But, I've proposed this standard for myself.
00:05:18.420 Which is, there are a lot of famous people in the world, right?
00:05:22.520 If you count all the famous athletes, celebrities, politicians, etc.
00:05:26.440 Tons of famous people in the world.
00:05:28.740 Until the first famous person who's under the age of 70 dies from the coronavirus,
00:05:34.480 and of all those possible people whose names you know,
00:05:38.500 and you would call them a celebrity under the age of 70,
00:05:41.900 if not a single one of them in America dies,
00:05:45.580 what are the odds I would be the first one?
00:05:48.940 Because, if you think about it,
00:05:50.520 at this point,
00:05:51.860 I don't want to jinx myself,
00:05:54.060 but if I were to die,
00:05:55.700 you know, me personally,
00:05:57.160 to die from coronavirus tomorrow,
00:05:59.460 I would be the most famous person who died of coronavirus in the United States.
00:06:06.260 Is that wrong, by the way?
00:06:08.520 Has anybody famous in the United States,
00:06:12.500 under 70,
00:06:14.400 died?
00:06:15.720 I don't think so.
00:06:17.120 So, what were the odds that I would be,
00:06:18.600 out of all the famous people in the country,
00:06:21.600 really the world,
00:06:22.400 I haven't heard of any famous dying yet,
00:06:25.180 out of all those famous people,
00:06:27.080 what are the odds that I would be the one who dies?
00:06:30.460 Seems pretty low.
00:06:31.920 So, I realize it's irrational,
00:06:33.540 and not based on math or anything,
00:06:35.220 but until there's at least one famous person dying,
00:06:39.860 what are the odds it's me?
00:06:41.880 Speaking of that,
00:06:43.100 Babyface,
00:06:43.900 the singer, producer,
00:06:47.060 entertainer,
00:06:48.180 is 61 years old,
00:06:49.380 which is weird,
00:06:50.000 because he has the most perfect nickname.
00:06:53.740 So, he's a singer named Babyface.
00:06:56.120 He's 61 years old,
00:06:57.440 and when I read that,
00:06:58.380 I thought,
00:06:58.680 well, that can't be right.
00:07:00.320 He's not 61.
00:07:01.440 I'm looking at his picture,
00:07:02.260 he looks 35 tops.
00:07:04.200 He looks like he's in his 20s.
00:07:05.900 I'm looking at this guy,
00:07:06.800 and I'm thinking,
00:07:07.380 he actually has a baby face.
00:07:09.940 That's the most perfect nickname anybody ever had.
00:07:12.860 Anyway,
00:07:13.260 he and his family,
00:07:14.020 unfortunately,
00:07:14.720 they have the coronavirus.
00:07:16.820 There's no reason to believe
00:07:18.000 that they have any
00:07:18.680 especially bad problems with it,
00:07:21.880 but he's the most famous person
00:07:24.460 who's not Tom Hanks or Pink
00:07:26.360 or that basketball player,
00:07:28.600 Gobert.
00:07:29.920 I guess they're the famous ones so far,
00:07:32.000 but we hope he'll be okay.
00:07:33.240 So, Tom Hanks recovered enough
00:07:38.080 to host Saturday Night Live,
00:07:39.580 and they did it all remotely.
00:07:42.100 You know,
00:07:42.320 Tom Hanks was in his kitchen
00:07:43.680 and all the rest of the staff.
00:07:45.420 They did their own little skits
00:07:46.700 like they're YouTubers
00:07:47.600 from their own homes.
00:07:49.640 Now, I didn't see it,
00:07:50.660 but I've been watching
00:07:51.700 a lot of news TV
00:07:53.820 where the anchors and stuff
00:07:55.540 are in their own homes.
00:07:57.780 If you watch The Five,
00:07:59.140 you see they're all
00:07:59.680 in five different locations and stuff.
00:08:01.940 And if you watch Bill Maher,
00:08:03.260 you saw he did it
00:08:03.920 from his backyard or something.
00:08:06.420 And here's the question.
00:08:09.800 Are there shows?
00:08:10.860 Somebody's saying Joe Diffie,
00:08:12.120 but he was over 70,
00:08:14.140 and I didn't know who he was anyway.
00:08:17.920 I didn't know who John Prine was,
00:08:19.580 but they're over 70.
00:08:21.920 So,
00:08:22.560 here's my question.
00:08:24.860 Are the shows that we're watching
00:08:26.380 that are being cheaply produced
00:08:27.980 from people's kitchens,
00:08:30.740 are they worse?
00:08:33.240 Think about it.
00:08:35.380 Somebody says Joe Diffie was 61.
00:08:37.420 All right, well,
00:08:37.980 I don't count that one
00:08:38.880 because I didn't know who he was.
00:08:41.700 So, if I've never heard of him,
00:08:42.960 he's not famous enough to count.
00:08:46.040 He was, you know,
00:08:47.260 I'm sure some of you heard of him,
00:08:48.500 but I've never heard of him.
00:08:49.580 He's a famous drummer,
00:08:53.540 and John Prine was over 70
00:08:56.720 with underlying health conditions.
00:08:58.240 All right.
00:09:01.080 Boris Johnson, they say, nearly died.
00:09:03.180 They said 50-50,
00:09:04.220 but he came through.
00:09:07.320 So, anyway,
00:09:08.120 my point is,
00:09:08.780 if you're watching the news,
00:09:09.840 all these people doing these
00:09:10.920 low-production jobs from home,
00:09:14.140 honestly,
00:09:14.740 they look just as good to me.
00:09:16.840 Have you noticed?
00:09:17.760 The only thing that I noticed
00:09:19.220 that's obviously sort of missing
00:09:21.880 is there are some people
00:09:23.540 who do live shows with live audiences,
00:09:25.940 or at least other people in the room,
00:09:27.800 and they wait for the laugh,
00:09:29.420 and the laugh doesn't happen.
00:09:30.640 So, the way Bill Maher did his show,
00:09:33.740 I thought was clever,
00:09:36.160 and also fairly self-aware.
00:09:39.780 Because when Bill Maher does his stand-up,
00:09:42.640 a lot of the show,
00:09:46.740 if you will,
00:09:47.280 has to do with the audience reaction.
00:09:49.660 So, he's not just telling jokes
00:09:51.320 and standing there,
00:09:52.560 he's sort of moving with the audience,
00:09:54.660 and, you know,
00:09:55.260 if they laugh,
00:09:55.980 he responds and stuff.
00:09:57.920 And I'm seeing other people
00:09:59.200 saying it's worse.
00:10:00.520 I don't know.
00:10:01.620 I think it's different.
00:10:03.640 And I think it's interesting.
00:10:06.780 So, in the long run,
00:10:08.080 yeah,
00:10:08.560 I suppose you could say
00:10:09.400 it'd be worse.
00:10:10.460 Production is worse and stuff.
00:10:12.020 But there's a little bit of adjustment
00:10:13.440 they need to make.
00:10:15.040 So, the way Bill Maher did his
00:10:17.300 was he had them dub in,
00:10:19.420 you know,
00:10:19.780 fake audiences laughing at his jokes.
00:10:22.760 It would be a different audience,
00:10:24.100 you know,
00:10:24.680 and obviously from historical
00:10:26.040 black and white footage and stuff.
00:10:28.240 So, it was actually,
00:10:29.200 it was actually pretty good.
00:10:32.980 The hubris of Scott
00:10:34.900 would be the last thing
00:10:37.000 that somebody said in their comments
00:10:38.260 before they got blocked.
00:10:43.060 Anyway,
00:10:44.540 enough of that.
00:10:47.780 So, I would like to
00:10:49.360 update my permanent prediction record.
00:10:54.100 All right.
00:10:54.900 You all remember
00:10:55.520 that there was that graph
00:10:56.720 that showed that the number
00:10:58.340 of diagnosed pneumonia deaths
00:11:01.580 for this year
00:11:03.160 seemed to drop off a cliff
00:11:04.680 coincidentally
00:11:06.160 at about the same time
00:11:07.300 that the coronavirus
00:11:07.960 was picking up.
00:11:09.680 And so, people
00:11:11.080 passed that graph
00:11:12.900 all around the internet
00:11:13.740 and people said,
00:11:15.500 look,
00:11:16.340 it's obvious that
00:11:17.240 there's nothing happening
00:11:18.440 but ordinary pneumonia.
00:11:19.900 It's being miscategorized
00:11:21.440 as coronavirus
00:11:22.240 and you can tell
00:11:23.680 by looking at the graph
00:11:24.640 because
00:11:25.120 pneumonias stop
00:11:26.480 at the same time
00:11:27.620 that corona goes up
00:11:28.540 so it's obviously
00:11:29.220 just misdiagnosis.
00:11:30.340 I looked at that graph
00:11:33.620 and with no factual evidence
00:11:37.480 whatsoever
00:11:38.060 said,
00:11:39.800 that looks like
00:11:40.260 a fake graph to me.
00:11:43.320 Was I
00:11:44.140 the first person
00:11:45.180 on the internet
00:11:45.860 that you saw?
00:11:47.620 Might have been others.
00:11:48.880 But the first one
00:11:49.640 that you saw
00:11:50.280 call out this graph
00:11:52.140 that people,
00:11:52.720 everybody was passing this around.
00:11:54.160 It was very,
00:11:54.840 very well,
00:11:55.480 well trafficked.
00:11:57.520 How many people
00:11:58.160 saw that
00:11:59.420 and believed it?
00:12:00.600 And then,
00:12:01.100 I was maybe
00:12:02.080 the first person
00:12:03.000 in the world
00:12:04.680 to tell you
00:12:05.600 that doesn't look real.
00:12:06.820 That's fake.
00:12:07.860 Well,
00:12:08.060 it didn't take long
00:12:08.800 for a data scientist
00:12:10.420 by the name of,
00:12:13.360 so there's an update
00:12:14.180 to this story.
00:12:14.840 You've heard the first part.
00:12:16.100 Tyler Morgan
00:12:16.700 who put together
00:12:19.120 this amazing visualization
00:12:20.500 in which he showed
00:12:21.680 that the only reason
00:12:22.440 that that one line
00:12:23.400 seemed to drop off
00:12:24.540 this year
00:12:24.980 was because
00:12:26.200 there's a lag
00:12:26.900 in the data reporting
00:12:27.940 and it happens
00:12:28.760 every year
00:12:29.360 and every other year
00:12:31.000 looked exactly
00:12:31.740 like this year
00:12:32.520 if measured
00:12:34.160 at the same time.
00:12:35.880 But there's an update.
00:12:37.300 So people said,
00:12:38.020 are you sure,
00:12:38.880 Tyler Morgan?
00:12:39.560 Are you sure
00:12:40.120 it's going to happen
00:12:40.720 this year
00:12:41.240 just because
00:12:42.600 the other years
00:12:43.340 they had that drop to
00:12:44.460 and then it got corrected?
00:12:46.180 Does that necessarily
00:12:47.320 mean it's going
00:12:48.840 to happen this year?
00:12:50.640 And we didn't know.
00:12:52.500 But now we do.
00:12:53.980 So now the data
00:12:55.500 has been reported
00:12:56.600 and data scientist
00:12:58.660 Tyler Morgan
00:12:59.260 put in the actual data
00:13:00.560 so nothing was changed.
00:13:01.820 He just took the data
00:13:02.680 the way it's reported
00:13:03.580 and the scary drop
00:13:06.520 in pneumonias
00:13:07.900 just went away.
00:13:10.140 It went away
00:13:11.020 exactly as
00:13:12.020 Tyler Morgan
00:13:12.640 told you it would
00:13:13.700 because it went away
00:13:15.400 all the other years
00:13:16.420 at the same time.
00:13:18.560 And so he just
00:13:19.260 waited for the same time,
00:13:21.240 told you it was going
00:13:21.960 to happen.
00:13:23.160 Then he redid his graph
00:13:25.220 and there it was.
00:13:28.660 There's still people here
00:13:29.760 saying it's not fake.
00:13:31.740 Okay.
00:13:32.980 Here's what you need to do.
00:13:35.220 So it's amazing
00:13:37.280 how there's no amount
00:13:38.440 of information
00:13:39.100 that will change
00:13:39.760 people's minds.
00:13:41.120 You know,
00:13:41.400 even though I wrote
00:13:42.240 a book on that topic,
00:13:43.400 so even though
00:13:46.200 I'm most famous
00:13:47.000 for saying that
00:13:47.740 the information
00:13:48.640 and facts
00:13:49.780 don't change
00:13:50.340 anybody's opinion
00:13:51.120 even though they should
00:13:52.020 and I'm watching it happen
00:13:53.440 right in front of me,
00:13:54.600 here's what you need to do.
00:13:56.360 The source for the data
00:13:57.780 is written right
00:13:59.580 on the graphs
00:14:00.240 so you could go
00:14:01.060 to my Twitter feed
00:14:01.980 and you could find
00:14:02.900 the graph.
00:14:03.940 Look at the source,
00:14:05.700 look at the data
00:14:06.540 and see if he put
00:14:08.080 the right data
00:14:08.700 into the graph.
00:14:10.440 It's all.
00:14:11.260 You can find out
00:14:12.020 for yourself
00:14:12.480 because you can look
00:14:13.520 at the actual source.
00:14:14.520 It's a government source.
00:14:16.040 So just look at it.
00:14:17.280 Look at the data
00:14:17.880 and see if it's
00:14:18.520 the same data
00:14:19.000 he looked in the chart
00:14:19.840 and then come back to me
00:14:21.440 and tell me
00:14:22.240 he did it wrong.
00:14:25.060 I don't think
00:14:26.700 anybody's going
00:14:27.180 to come back to me.
00:14:28.140 Now,
00:14:28.380 I haven't done that
00:14:29.140 by the way.
00:14:29.860 I have not checked
00:14:30.920 that myself
00:14:31.640 but do you think
00:14:33.240 this data scientist
00:14:34.140 who's gotten
00:14:34.700 quite a bit of attention
00:14:35.720 because I tweeted him
00:14:36.780 and he deserves it,
00:14:38.080 he's really good,
00:14:39.280 do you think
00:14:39.960 that he just made that up?
00:14:41.200 I don't think so.
00:14:45.860 Who's more famous
00:14:46.880 than me?
00:14:49.120 You know,
00:14:49.460 you can check that.
00:14:50.600 There's a website
00:14:51.880 called Twitter Fight.
00:14:54.480 Is that what it's called?
00:14:55.720 No,
00:14:56.220 Google Fight,
00:14:57.000 right?
00:14:58.180 Let's do that.
00:15:01.060 Google
00:15:01.700 Fight.
00:15:04.020 Because every now
00:15:07.460 and then I like to
00:15:08.320 no,
00:15:10.020 not flights,
00:15:11.280 fight.
00:15:13.120 I guess that went away.
00:15:15.380 They don't show it anymore.
00:15:17.580 Huh.
00:15:19.380 Oh,
00:15:19.700 Google Fight,
00:15:20.340 that's why.
00:15:22.620 Oh,
00:15:23.040 God.
00:15:25.020 I've got this weird
00:15:26.020 situation with my phone.
00:15:27.660 I don't know if this
00:15:28.240 has happened to any of you
00:15:29.080 but the way I hold
00:15:30.240 my phone
00:15:30.920 all day long
00:15:32.400 is this thumb
00:15:33.200 is on this corner
00:15:34.460 of the phone
00:15:35.140 right here
00:15:35.740 so when I'm holding it
00:15:37.300 this thumb is always
00:15:38.440 right on this edge
00:15:39.380 and for a long time
00:15:41.280 afterwards
00:15:41.800 it'll have a dent in it.
00:15:43.280 Can you see that?
00:15:44.720 I spend so much time
00:15:46.120 with the phone
00:15:46.740 on the corner
00:15:47.440 of my phone
00:15:48.240 that there's actually
00:15:48.980 like a U-shaped,
00:15:50.500 it takes a while
00:15:51.100 for it to come back
00:15:52.000 but I've so deformed
00:15:54.200 the end of my thumb
00:15:55.020 by holding the same
00:15:55.800 part of my phone
00:15:56.460 that when I try to type
00:15:58.000 the end of my thumb
00:15:59.880 has two points
00:16:00.780 instead of having
00:16:02.480 one point in the middle
00:16:03.400 of the thumb
00:16:03.920 it's like
00:16:04.560 it's like a little
00:16:05.640 camel hump
00:16:06.260 with two humps
00:16:06.880 and I'm like
00:16:07.660 mistyping like crazy
00:16:10.120 so let's try it again
00:16:12.420 this is the worst
00:16:15.480 periscope of all time
00:16:16.700 but there's not much
00:16:18.160 other entertainment
00:16:18.920 happening so
00:16:19.640 let's see
00:16:23.280 my goodness
00:16:24.860 there it is
00:16:25.760 make a fight
00:16:26.360 alright
00:16:27.260 so what was that
00:16:28.380 guy's name
00:16:28.880 Diffie
00:16:29.280 Joe Diffie
00:16:30.820 so we'll check him
00:16:34.520 Joe
00:16:35.840 D-I-F-F-I-E
00:16:38.180 I think
00:16:38.640 and then
00:16:41.880 there's me
00:16:43.040 how interesting
00:16:46.100 watching other people
00:16:47.100 type on their phones
00:16:48.240 in purpose
00:16:49.800 alright
00:16:50.780 so we're going to
00:16:52.340 see this fight
00:16:53.180 and I'll show it to you
00:16:54.420 as it's
00:16:55.520 happening
00:16:55.920 if I can
00:16:56.740 it's
00:16:59.260 it's thinking
00:17:00.180 it's thinking
00:17:01.120 so what this is
00:17:02.540 is
00:17:02.880 Google will
00:17:03.900 test the number
00:17:05.700 of search results
00:17:07.080 well
00:17:08.880 it looks like
00:17:09.380 it's not going to work
00:17:10.280 that's just
00:17:12.720 well that was the
00:17:14.920 least interesting thing
00:17:15.840 that happened today
00:17:16.440 alright
00:17:17.380 do you have
00:17:20.540 any questions
00:17:21.240 we'll take your
00:17:23.280 questions
00:17:23.820 now
00:17:25.040 let's see
00:17:26.260 who has
00:17:27.120 good questions
00:17:28.660 for me
00:17:29.200 let's try
00:17:30.900 Adres
00:17:32.080 if I'm
00:17:34.200 pronouncing your name
00:17:34.980 right
00:17:35.360 Adres
00:17:37.020 Adres
00:17:38.100 Adres
00:17:39.300 Adres
00:17:40.340 are you there
00:17:40.880 do you have a question
00:17:41.540 hi
00:17:43.800 I was thinking
00:17:46.560 about a mental
00:17:47.500 framework
00:17:47.920 for this crisis
00:17:48.980 and I've been
00:17:49.840 thinking
00:17:50.640 maybe we should
00:17:51.980 change like
00:17:52.780 collectively
00:17:53.220 to the thinking
00:17:54.200 of like
00:17:55.040 really resilient
00:17:56.280 animal
00:17:57.700 or insect
00:17:58.480 like an ant
00:17:59.220 colony
00:17:59.580 that basically
00:18:00.420 when it's under
00:18:01.020 attack
00:18:01.400 just unites
00:18:02.000 forces
00:18:02.440 and really
00:18:03.000 doesn't worry
00:18:03.500 too much
00:18:03.940 about the
00:18:04.520 particular
00:18:05.000 feelings
00:18:05.420 of every
00:18:06.180 individual
00:18:06.660 ant
00:18:07.000 but just
00:18:08.060 holds together
00:18:08.700 follows orders
00:18:09.660 and pulls
00:18:10.340 through
00:18:10.640 yeah
00:18:11.800 I'm not sure
00:18:12.940 that thinking
00:18:13.680 about it
00:18:14.140 differently
00:18:14.480 would get us
00:18:15.140 to a better
00:18:15.560 result
00:18:15.960 because we
00:18:16.440 have pretty
00:18:17.040 amazing
00:18:17.600 cooperation
00:18:19.020 and innovation
00:18:19.880 and everything
00:18:20.400 you know
00:18:20.880 it's like
00:18:21.580 everything else
00:18:22.100 in the world
00:18:22.540 you know
00:18:23.580 5 or 10%
00:18:24.380 of the world
00:18:24.760 just isn't
00:18:25.360 going to go
00:18:25.720 along with
00:18:26.160 anything
00:18:26.520 but 90%
00:18:27.820 of the world
00:18:28.200 are doing
00:18:28.540 pretty well
00:18:29.100 you probably
00:18:29.800 can't get
00:18:30.300 much better
00:18:30.840 than that
00:18:31.160 unless you
00:18:31.480 threaten
00:18:31.820 to kill
00:18:32.320 people
00:18:32.660 but in
00:18:34.340 terms of
00:18:34.880 how things
00:18:35.480 are going
00:18:35.800 I like
00:18:36.180 that the
00:18:36.460 president
00:18:36.840 is reinforcing
00:18:37.920 how much
00:18:39.440 he thinks
00:18:39.840 the
00:18:40.140 the economy
00:18:41.660 is going
00:18:41.940 to bounce
00:18:42.300 back
00:18:42.720 and how
00:18:43.120 quickly
00:18:43.460 and what
00:18:44.920 I like
00:18:45.200 about that
00:18:45.600 is he's
00:18:46.040 he's basically
00:18:46.980 setting our
00:18:47.800 expectations
00:18:48.500 and he's
00:18:49.520 picked a future
00:18:50.200 point
00:18:50.640 and he said
00:18:51.060 the end
00:18:51.360 of the year
00:18:51.780 might be like
00:18:52.800 record setting
00:18:53.480 numbers
00:18:53.980 I don't know
00:18:54.840 if they'll be
00:18:55.220 record setting
00:18:55.920 but if
00:18:58.000 everybody thinks
00:18:58.860 it's going to be
00:18:59.420 good at the
00:18:59.860 end of the year
00:19:00.400 we'll all
00:19:01.680 prepare for it
00:19:02.480 so businesses
00:19:03.540 will make more
00:19:04.360 products and people
00:19:05.340 will save their
00:19:05.980 money to spend
00:19:06.720 and people will
00:19:07.880 act as though
00:19:08.680 we all agree
00:19:10.200 that things
00:19:10.660 are going to
00:19:10.980 be good
00:19:11.280 at the end
00:19:11.640 of the year
00:19:12.020 and if we
00:19:12.800 act as though
00:19:13.420 it is
00:19:13.700 then it
00:19:13.980 becomes good
00:19:14.580 because the
00:19:15.940 economy is
00:19:16.580 just the
00:19:17.520 result of
00:19:18.100 all the
00:19:18.540 intentions
00:19:19.420 and actions
00:19:20.020 of the
00:19:20.300 people
00:19:20.540 so that's
00:19:21.740 my best
00:19:22.100 answer
00:19:22.400 I don't
00:19:22.880 know if
00:19:23.080 that was
00:19:23.280 any good
00:19:23.620 but thank
00:19:24.400 you
00:19:24.580 all right
00:19:27.160 next question
00:19:28.380 let's see
00:19:30.980 what Bill
00:19:32.580 has to say
00:19:33.460 Bill went
00:19:37.800 away
00:19:38.280 Bill let's
00:19:40.880 try John
00:19:41.660 I don't
00:19:43.420 know why
00:19:43.680 people go
00:19:44.640 away as
00:19:45.040 soon as I
00:19:45.420 select them
00:19:45.920 I don't
00:19:46.120 know if
00:19:46.360 that's a
00:19:46.800 technology
00:19:47.360 thing or
00:19:47.880 a me
00:19:48.120 thing
00:19:48.320 Bill do
00:19:49.800 you have
00:19:49.940 a question
00:19:50.360 Bill do
00:19:53.900 you have
00:19:54.060 a question
00:19:54.500 Bill is
00:19:57.660 not listening
00:19:58.100 to his
00:19:58.440 phone
00:19:58.760 later he's
00:20:02.040 going to
00:20:02.240 say
00:20:02.580 darn it
00:20:03.740 I almost
00:20:05.620 had a
00:20:05.960 phone call
00:20:06.480 let's try
00:20:06.900 Nancy
00:20:07.320 Nancy looks
00:20:08.000 prepared
00:20:08.540 Nancy are
00:20:12.760 you
00:20:12.960 do you
00:20:13.960 have a
00:20:14.140 question
00:20:14.400 for me
00:20:14.800 yes
00:20:19.020 you know
00:20:19.720 what today
00:20:20.360 is
00:20:20.840 is it
00:20:22.160 Easter Sunday
00:20:22.840 it is
00:20:24.060 and
00:20:25.360 I am
00:20:26.560 wondering
00:20:27.200 what you
00:20:28.620 think
00:20:29.140 about
00:20:30.280 something
00:20:30.800 in the
00:20:31.940 world of
00:20:32.260 persuasion
00:20:32.820 that has
00:20:33.780 lasted
00:20:34.400 over
00:20:35.060 2,000
00:20:36.420 years
00:20:37.160 and what
00:20:38.780 actually
00:20:39.440 occurred
00:20:40.900 in those
00:20:42.540 days
00:20:43.260 by
00:20:45.200 a very
00:20:46.280 small
00:20:46.880 group of
00:20:47.620 people
00:20:48.120 that were
00:20:48.680 able to
00:20:49.360 influence
00:20:50.160 the world
00:20:52.440 down through
00:20:53.780 the generations
00:20:54.700 it has
00:20:55.260 continued
00:20:55.860 so how
00:20:56.520 could that
00:20:57.020 have
00:20:57.640 happened
00:20:58.260 well
00:20:59.480 I hate
00:21:00.680 to rock
00:21:01.040 your world
00:21:01.520 I feel
00:21:02.020 bad about
00:21:02.440 I want
00:21:02.960 you to
00:21:03.280 I'm curious
00:21:04.540 what you
00:21:04.980 think
00:21:05.240 I feel
00:21:06.200 bad
00:21:06.620 answering
00:21:07.420 this
00:21:07.680 question
00:21:08.060 on
00:21:08.320 Easter
00:21:08.580 Sunday
00:21:08.940 but
00:21:09.320 you
00:21:10.240 asked
00:21:10.640 and
00:21:11.060 people
00:21:12.040 don't
00:21:12.280 come
00:21:12.500 here
00:21:12.680 to
00:21:12.960 hear
00:21:13.340 me
00:21:13.500 lie
00:21:13.700 to
00:21:13.840 them
00:21:14.000 so
00:21:14.260 I'll
00:21:14.980 give
00:21:15.100 you
00:21:15.200 my
00:21:15.360 honest
00:21:15.620 answer
00:21:15.880 I'm
00:21:16.920 not
00:21:17.480 a
00:21:17.680 religious
00:21:18.080 historian
00:21:18.720 I know
00:21:19.360 but
00:21:19.860 I'll
00:21:20.300 make
00:21:20.520 a
00:21:20.800 statement
00:21:21.600 which
00:21:21.880 I believe
00:21:22.260 to be
00:21:22.600 true
00:21:22.860 things
00:21:23.440 I've
00:21:23.680 heard
00:21:23.860 from
00:21:24.240 religious
00:21:24.860 historians
00:21:25.540 which is
00:21:26.780 that there
00:21:27.220 were lots
00:21:27.980 of traditions
00:21:28.660 and there
00:21:30.720 were lots
00:21:31.040 of other
00:21:31.480 religions
00:21:31.900 that did
00:21:32.420 not survive
00:21:33.220 that had
00:21:33.980 similar
00:21:34.340 characteristics
00:21:35.100 of somebody
00:21:35.840 who was
00:21:36.220 killed
00:21:37.000 and then
00:21:37.460 they were
00:21:37.740 reborn
00:21:38.180 as something
00:21:39.140 bigger
00:21:39.500 so apparently
00:21:40.420 that's just a
00:21:41.240 normal thing
00:21:41.800 that happens
00:21:42.240 with lots
00:21:42.640 of religions
00:21:43.160 so if
00:21:44.140 you go
00:21:44.400 back in
00:21:44.740 time
00:21:44.960 there
00:21:45.140 were
00:21:45.240 lots
00:21:45.460 of
00:21:45.580 different
00:21:45.800 religions
00:21:46.260 and they
00:21:46.960 competed
00:21:47.560 against each
00:21:48.220 other
00:21:48.460 in different
00:21:48.840 ways
00:21:49.180 and something
00:21:50.560 won
00:21:50.880 you know
00:21:51.340 a few
00:21:51.680 of them
00:21:51.940 emerged
00:21:52.420 so
00:21:52.820 Islam
00:21:53.300 emerged
00:21:53.980 and
00:21:54.280 Christianity
00:21:55.620 emerged
00:21:56.440 and lots
00:21:56.940 of different
00:21:57.280 forms of
00:21:57.900 Christianity
00:21:58.300 so I would
00:21:59.320 look at it
00:21:59.700 as just
00:22:00.080 evolution
00:22:00.680 with some
00:22:02.160 kind of
00:22:02.880 survival
00:22:03.340 of the
00:22:03.760 fittest
00:22:04.160 which in
00:22:05.300 some cases
00:22:05.860 has to do
00:22:06.460 with the
00:22:06.860 quality of
00:22:08.100 the story
00:22:10.000 if you will
00:22:10.680 you know
00:22:11.320 does it have
00:22:11.840 a holy book
00:22:12.620 you know
00:22:13.460 is it
00:22:13.880 put together
00:22:14.720 well
00:22:15.160 you know
00:22:15.520 is it
00:22:16.680 promoted
00:22:17.060 by a
00:22:17.540 leader
00:22:17.840 because
00:22:18.620 there were
00:22:19.140 a number
00:22:19.380 of leaders
00:22:19.920 who sort
00:22:21.100 of took
00:22:21.500 up
00:22:21.700 Christianity
00:22:22.100 as their
00:22:22.780 thing
00:22:23.160 now if
00:22:23.880 a few
00:22:24.260 leaders
00:22:24.620 had changed
00:22:25.120 their mind
00:22:25.620 you know
00:22:26.540 if the
00:22:26.980 King of
00:22:27.820 England
00:22:28.140 or you
00:22:29.100 know
00:22:29.660 Charlemagne
00:22:31.200 or I don't
00:22:31.940 know my
00:22:32.260 history
00:22:32.520 but if
00:22:33.580 some of
00:22:34.360 the great
00:22:34.660 leaders
00:22:35.020 just a few
00:22:35.640 of them
00:22:36.000 had simply
00:22:37.040 said no
00:22:37.480 I'm going
00:22:37.780 to pick
00:22:38.000 this other
00:22:38.400 religion
00:22:38.800 probably would
00:22:40.020 have gone
00:22:40.240 a different
00:22:40.580 way
00:22:40.840 so
00:22:41.720 there are
00:22:42.740 a bunch
00:22:42.980 of factors
00:22:43.620 about why
00:22:44.000 one religion
00:22:44.700 does well
00:22:46.060 and one
00:22:46.740 does not
00:22:47.220 but I
00:22:47.740 would pick
00:22:48.540 one thing
00:22:49.100 in particular
00:22:49.740 maybe two
00:22:51.180 things
00:22:51.440 about
00:22:51.800 Christianity
00:22:52.240 that make
00:22:52.700 it work
00:22:53.080 really well
00:22:53.780 persuasion
00:22:54.420 wise
00:22:54.720 to get
00:22:55.060 to your
00:22:55.280 question
00:22:55.580 one is
00:22:57.200 the thought
00:22:58.160 that you
00:22:58.740 can always
00:22:59.320 be saved
00:23:00.080 no matter
00:23:00.720 what bad
00:23:01.620 you did
00:23:02.080 so we'd
00:23:03.200 like to
00:23:03.520 think that
00:23:03.900 we can
00:23:04.400 be good
00:23:04.820 people
00:23:05.140 even if
00:23:05.660 we've
00:23:05.900 done bad
00:23:06.420 things
00:23:06.860 and
00:23:07.640 Christianity
00:23:08.040 directly
00:23:09.420 says
00:23:09.900 yeah you
00:23:10.700 could do
00:23:11.120 terrible
00:23:11.520 things
00:23:11.980 but as
00:23:13.140 long as
00:23:13.480 you're
00:23:13.640 willing to
00:23:14.240 you know
00:23:14.700 at this
00:23:15.020 moment
00:23:15.440 change
00:23:16.920 you know
00:23:17.760 and do
00:23:18.280 the right
00:23:18.640 steps
00:23:18.920 to become
00:23:19.320 more godly
00:23:20.160 according to
00:23:20.680 Christianity
00:23:21.180 then you're
00:23:22.580 saved
00:23:22.900 and you're
00:23:23.660 saved forever
00:23:24.280 and your
00:23:25.020 history is
00:23:26.420 wiped clean
00:23:27.120 I think that
00:23:28.140 is such a
00:23:28.740 seductive
00:23:29.600 and appealing
00:23:31.080 thought
00:23:31.660 because people
00:23:32.480 are wracked
00:23:32.940 by guilt
00:23:33.580 and to
00:23:34.400 have some
00:23:34.780 authority
00:23:35.240 say you
00:23:35.700 know all
00:23:36.180 that guilt
00:23:36.660 you had
00:23:37.100 we all
00:23:38.260 got problems
00:23:38.860 too
00:23:39.160 all you got
00:23:40.060 to do is
00:23:40.560 do these
00:23:41.040 steps
00:23:41.340 say these
00:23:41.840 things
00:23:42.180 you know
00:23:43.020 believe in
00:23:43.840 believe in
00:23:44.360 these things
00:23:44.820 and your
00:23:45.400 history is
00:23:45.980 wiped clean
00:23:46.540 and your
00:23:46.960 guilt is
00:23:47.380 gone
00:23:47.600 so in
00:23:48.260 terms of
00:23:48.600 getting rid
00:23:48.960 of your
00:23:49.140 guilt is
00:23:49.520 great
00:23:49.780 and also
00:23:50.340 it has
00:23:50.680 the advantage
00:23:51.760 that if
00:23:52.160 your life
00:23:52.560 is bad
00:23:53.200 you can
00:23:54.660 always tell
00:23:55.060 yourself
00:23:55.360 you know
00:23:55.640 my life
00:23:56.120 is bad
00:23:56.660 but I'll
00:23:57.480 do these
00:23:57.940 following
00:23:58.580 things to
00:23:59.360 be a good
00:23:59.740 person
00:24:00.180 and then
00:24:01.260 eternity
00:24:02.000 my afterlife
00:24:02.880 will be
00:24:03.340 awesome
00:24:03.780 because I
00:24:05.080 worked hard
00:24:05.620 even though
00:24:06.080 my life
00:24:06.560 was bad
00:24:06.940 so between
00:24:08.040 the fact
00:24:08.420 that it
00:24:08.600 has a
00:24:08.840 payoff
00:24:09.100 of infinity
00:24:10.000 literally
00:24:10.980 forever
00:24:11.860 in heaven
00:24:12.860 that's the
00:24:14.400 best payoff
00:24:14.880 you could
00:24:15.200 possibly have
00:24:15.900 so you
00:24:16.620 would expect
00:24:17.420 that people
00:24:18.960 would work
00:24:19.520 the hardest
00:24:19.980 and you
00:24:21.080 know be
00:24:21.740 the most
00:24:22.280 obedient to
00:24:23.560 whatever
00:24:24.500 promised them
00:24:25.200 the most
00:24:25.580 reward
00:24:26.140 so you
00:24:27.320 see Islam
00:24:27.920 promises a
00:24:28.660 big reward
00:24:29.360 Christianity
00:24:30.080 promises a
00:24:31.080 big reward
00:24:31.600 if you do
00:24:32.020 the right
00:24:32.320 stuff
00:24:32.640 so you
00:24:34.260 know
00:24:34.360 persuasion
00:24:34.820 wise
00:24:35.060 it's fairly
00:24:35.600 straightforward
00:24:37.160 people
00:24:38.580 would do
00:24:39.000 a lot
00:24:39.520 to get
00:24:40.460 a gigantic
00:24:41.120 potential
00:24:41.740 reward
00:24:42.300 even like
00:24:42.960 a lottery
00:24:43.380 you'll buy
00:24:44.140 a lottery
00:24:44.480 ticket
00:24:44.800 even if
00:24:45.200 you have
00:24:45.380 a one
00:24:45.740 in a hundred
00:24:47.140 million chance
00:24:47.780 of winning
00:24:48.140 because if
00:24:49.260 you did win
00:24:49.780 it would be
00:24:50.160 so great
00:24:50.800 you'd be
00:24:52.100 happy
00:24:52.360 so did
00:24:53.640 that answer
00:24:54.040 your question
00:24:54.440 at all
00:24:54.720 well
00:24:56.440 I think
00:24:57.500 that's
00:24:57.860 that's a
00:24:58.320 good shot
00:24:58.900 at it
00:24:59.560 I don't
00:25:00.100 know
00:25:00.400 if it
00:25:00.780 I'm not
00:25:01.880 sure
00:25:02.320 maybe
00:25:03.060 perhaps
00:25:04.360 if it is
00:25:05.340 a big old
00:25:05.920 fairy tale
00:25:06.620 what a good
00:25:07.420 fairy tale
00:25:08.000 it is
00:25:08.580 for so many
00:25:09.260 people down
00:25:09.900 through the
00:25:10.240 generations
00:25:10.720 well keep in
00:25:12.160 mind I didn't
00:25:12.820 say that
00:25:13.420 no you didn't
00:25:14.240 so I try to be
00:25:17.220 more at least
00:25:17.960 lately
00:25:18.340 well I think
00:25:19.720 the thing
00:25:20.100 that you
00:25:20.860 mentioned so
00:25:21.520 often is
00:25:21.960 we can't
00:25:22.340 even remember
00:25:23.000 you know
00:25:24.180 who was in
00:25:24.760 the news
00:25:25.180 last week
00:25:26.020 and who was
00:25:26.580 being persuasive
00:25:27.480 and it just
00:25:28.480 strikes me
00:25:29.200 every year
00:25:29.840 at Christmas
00:25:30.380 and Easter
00:25:31.020 particularly
00:25:31.640 that this
00:25:33.460 man had
00:25:34.840 the most
00:25:36.180 incredible
00:25:36.740 effect on
00:25:37.760 human history
00:25:38.940 out of all
00:25:39.940 people that
00:25:41.020 have ever
00:25:41.360 lived so it
00:25:42.080 just it amazes
00:25:43.420 me because he
00:25:44.140 didn't have any
00:25:44.640 of the tools
00:25:45.440 that we have
00:25:46.580 today and
00:25:47.440 yet it's
00:25:48.320 his influence
00:25:49.440 still exists
00:25:50.700 well or
00:25:51.660 you could say
00:25:52.740 that whoever
00:25:53.840 wrote the
00:25:54.500 Bible were
00:25:55.240 the influential
00:25:55.880 ones because
00:25:57.080 the Bible was
00:25:58.280 written after
00:25:58.940 Jesus' life
00:25:59.940 so if it had
00:26:01.000 not been written
00:26:01.740 in a way that
00:26:02.580 people found
00:26:03.380 influential and
00:26:04.820 persuasive for
00:26:05.620 centuries I
00:26:06.740 don't know that
00:26:07.360 what he did
00:26:08.160 would be so
00:26:09.000 had the impact
00:26:11.260 it had more
00:26:11.940 to do with
00:26:12.840 the people who
00:26:13.920 collected it on
00:26:15.200 paper right
00:26:15.820 would you agree
00:26:16.600 well I don't
00:26:17.440 know about that
00:26:18.240 when you think
00:26:18.740 about Paul who
00:26:19.800 was influenced
00:26:20.500 the most
00:26:21.220 he didn't
00:26:22.360 have the
00:26:23.120 Bible
00:26:23.480 he didn't
00:26:24.040 have you
00:26:24.920 know he
00:26:25.100 was speaking
00:26:25.620 to people
00:26:26.160 about the
00:26:26.720 influence of
00:26:27.440 this man
00:26:28.060 Jesus Christ
00:26:28.900 so it was
00:26:29.920 amazing that
00:26:30.800 Paul didn't
00:26:31.380 have anything
00:26:31.940 to go on
00:26:32.640 except his
00:26:33.200 experience
00:26:33.620 well I did
00:26:34.800 have the
00:26:35.140 message you
00:26:35.780 know I
00:26:36.140 read that
00:26:37.780 turn the
00:26:38.600 other
00:26:38.780 trick didn't
00:26:39.600 really mean
00:26:40.120 what we
00:26:40.500 think it
00:26:40.920 to mean
00:26:41.220 today
00:26:41.640 have you
00:26:41.940 ever heard
00:26:42.200 that
00:26:42.960 yeah I
00:26:45.200 don't know
00:26:45.460 the details
00:26:45.920 but I think
00:26:46.480 turn the
00:26:47.400 other trick
00:26:47.860 was a little
00:26:49.060 bit more
00:26:49.440 aggressive
00:26:49.900 I think in
00:26:51.220 those days it
00:26:51.820 wasn't so much
00:26:52.580 you know hey
00:26:53.500 hit me again
00:26:54.160 and I won't
00:26:54.600 hit you back
00:26:55.220 with the way
00:26:55.680 we interpret it
00:26:56.340 today I think
00:26:57.420 it was it was
00:26:58.180 more of a
00:26:58.920 subtly
00:26:59.980 psychologically
00:27:00.880 aggressive thing
00:27:02.140 I don't know
00:27:02.620 the details
00:27:03.100 but it
00:27:04.260 changed
00:27:04.580 but let me
00:27:05.760 just say this
00:27:06.260 my larger
00:27:07.400 theory of
00:27:07.960 reality is
00:27:08.920 that none
00:27:09.360 of us
00:27:09.800 have brains
00:27:11.200 which are
00:27:11.840 designed to
00:27:12.640 understand reality
00:27:13.720 meaning that
00:27:14.640 a clam
00:27:16.300 doesn't know
00:27:17.660 it's a clam
00:27:18.300 but it also
00:27:19.140 doesn't need
00:27:19.700 to you know
00:27:20.980 my dog
00:27:21.780 doesn't really
00:27:22.960 understand much
00:27:23.720 about this
00:27:24.220 complicated human
00:27:25.300 world that it
00:27:26.060 lives in
00:27:26.520 doesn't need
00:27:27.760 to so as
00:27:28.840 long as the
00:27:29.440 creature can
00:27:30.040 survive and
00:27:30.700 procreate
00:27:31.200 that's all
00:27:31.600 it needs
00:27:32.040 so there's
00:27:33.380 no reason
00:27:33.760 to believe
00:27:34.120 that humans
00:27:34.660 have this
00:27:35.140 extra ability
00:27:36.200 to not only
00:27:37.800 breed and
00:27:38.780 you know
00:27:39.120 procreate and
00:27:39.620 stuff but we
00:27:40.360 can actually
00:27:40.760 understand reality
00:27:42.120 when in fact
00:27:43.160 we watch
00:27:43.720 you know
00:27:44.380 two of us
00:27:45.160 can watch
00:27:45.560 the news
00:27:46.200 on a Tuesday
00:27:47.380 and walk away
00:27:48.180 with completely
00:27:48.720 different realities
00:27:49.580 one will say
00:27:50.640 the president's
00:27:51.300 a crook
00:27:51.620 it's obvious
00:27:52.100 it was right
00:27:52.560 there on the
00:27:52.960 news
00:27:53.260 the other
00:27:53.920 one will say
00:27:54.280 the president's
00:27:55.140 the greatest
00:27:55.520 patriot of all
00:27:56.200 time
00:27:56.480 it's obvious
00:27:56.980 it was right
00:27:57.400 there in the
00:27:57.760 news
00:27:57.960 we both
00:27:58.760 watched it
00:27:59.320 it's obvious
00:28:00.300 and so
00:28:01.460 we can see
00:28:02.200 that even
00:28:02.800 in the simplest
00:28:03.740 situations
00:28:04.540 people will
00:28:05.780 look at the
00:28:06.200 same facts
00:28:06.860 with you know
00:28:07.600 eyes and ears
00:28:08.500 and stuff
00:28:08.960 and come to
00:28:09.800 completely wildly
00:28:10.800 different conclusions
00:28:11.940 about their own
00:28:12.720 reality right
00:28:13.400 that moment
00:28:13.980 like in the
00:28:14.920 moment people
00:28:15.520 are redefining
00:28:16.740 reality wildly
00:28:17.600 differently
00:28:17.980 so
00:28:18.860 when you
00:28:20.980 when somebody
00:28:21.780 says
00:28:22.180 is this
00:28:23.220 religion
00:28:23.680 or that
00:28:24.200 religion
00:28:24.660 true
00:28:25.140 I have
00:28:26.140 the same
00:28:26.500 answer
00:28:26.840 for all
00:28:27.540 of them
00:28:27.840 nothing's
00:28:29.100 true
00:28:29.320 you know
00:28:30.420 not
00:28:30.760 not the
00:28:31.460 not the
00:28:32.580 thing in your
00:28:33.280 hand
00:28:33.760 not the
00:28:34.240 thing you
00:28:34.540 heard on
00:28:34.880 news
00:28:35.220 not what
00:28:36.020 you think
00:28:36.380 of your
00:28:36.660 life
00:28:37.040 your purpose
00:28:37.820 in the
00:28:38.100 world
00:28:38.320 none of
00:28:38.640 it's
00:28:38.780 true
00:28:39.000 because
00:28:39.620 we don't
00:28:39.980 have
00:28:40.320 the
00:28:40.680 equipment
00:28:41.100 meaning
00:28:41.700 our
00:28:41.940 brain
00:28:42.340 our
00:28:43.120 brain
00:28:43.380 is not
00:28:43.680 designed
00:28:44.020 to tell
00:28:44.360 us
00:28:44.480 what's
00:28:44.720 true
00:28:45.000 it's
00:28:45.880 just
00:28:46.220 designed
00:28:46.600 to keep
00:28:46.960 us
00:28:47.120 alive
00:28:47.600 and for
00:28:48.340 that
00:28:48.720 telling
00:28:49.580 us
00:28:49.800 little
00:28:50.040 stories
00:28:50.600 does
00:28:51.400 fine
00:28:51.760 so
00:28:52.640 is it
00:28:53.160 true
00:28:53.340 that
00:28:53.520 any
00:28:53.740 of us
00:28:54.000 have
00:28:54.160 the
00:28:54.320 right
00:28:54.540 little
00:28:54.800 story
00:28:55.220 so
00:28:56.020 might
00:28:56.320 it
00:28:56.440 be
00:28:56.620 that
00:28:56.880 the
00:28:57.140 the
00:28:57.380 Hindus
00:28:57.720 for
00:28:58.080 example
00:28:58.460 are
00:28:59.180 the
00:28:59.320 only
00:28:59.500 people
00:28:59.820 who are
00:29:00.060 getting
00:29:00.200 the
00:29:00.380 right
00:29:00.620 story
00:29:01.040 and
00:29:01.580 everybody
00:29:01.840 else
00:29:02.120 is
00:29:02.300 interpreting
00:29:02.740 it
00:29:02.940 wildly
00:29:03.240 different
00:29:03.620 the Muslims
00:29:05.160 and the
00:29:05.520 Christians
00:29:05.840 I don't
00:29:06.760 think so
00:29:07.260 I don't
00:29:08.060 think so
00:29:08.500 that seems
00:29:09.420 possible
00:29:10.380 I mean
00:29:10.860 you can't
00:29:11.220 rule it
00:29:11.600 out
00:29:11.840 but it
00:29:12.520 seems
00:29:12.740 far more
00:29:13.300 likely
00:29:13.720 that all
00:29:14.440 the evidence
00:29:14.840 suggests
00:29:15.320 that none
00:29:15.800 of us
00:29:16.200 have
00:29:17.220 an accurate
00:29:18.440 view of
00:29:18.980 reality
00:29:19.400 and we've
00:29:20.220 all created
00:29:20.900 these stories
00:29:21.860 that exist
00:29:22.560 in our
00:29:22.900 heads
00:29:23.220 which are
00:29:24.180 internally
00:29:24.660 consistent
00:29:25.300 to us
00:29:26.120 but sound
00:29:27.020 like nonsense
00:29:27.700 often when we
00:29:28.940 explain it to
00:29:29.560 someone who has
00:29:30.100 a different
00:29:30.420 movie in their
00:29:31.000 head
00:29:31.260 so I don't
00:29:33.000 say that
00:29:33.580 Jesus is
00:29:35.540 real or
00:29:36.000 not real
00:29:36.480 that Islam
00:29:37.600 is real or
00:29:38.200 not really
00:29:38.640 real or
00:29:39.200 anything else
00:29:39.680 I say that
00:29:40.680 we don't have
00:29:41.220 the capacity
00:29:41.740 to know
00:29:42.140 what's real
00:29:42.600 so whether
00:29:44.140 there is a
00:29:44.860 real version
00:29:45.840 of religion
00:29:46.360 or not
00:29:47.080 there isn't
00:29:48.700 any chance
00:29:49.140 we'd find
00:29:49.700 it
00:29:50.140 except by
00:29:51.520 luck
00:29:51.900 you know
00:29:52.520 so there
00:29:53.040 are so many
00:29:53.420 religions
00:29:53.960 that if one
00:29:55.060 of them is
00:29:55.500 right
00:29:55.920 it doesn't
00:29:56.540 matter which
00:29:56.900 one
00:29:57.220 if one of
00:29:58.140 them is
00:29:58.440 like bang
00:29:59.000 on
00:29:59.320 it does
00:30:00.300 mean all
00:30:00.700 the rest
00:30:01.040 of them
00:30:01.300 are wrong
00:30:01.860 and you
00:30:02.880 don't know
00:30:03.280 which group
00:30:03.760 you're in
00:30:04.180 that's the
00:30:04.660 problem
00:30:05.220 all right
00:30:05.580 I hope I
00:30:06.240 didn't
00:30:06.520 reprogram
00:30:08.440 it
00:30:08.580 can I say
00:30:09.120 just one
00:30:09.580 last thing
00:30:10.200 sure
00:30:10.500 I have
00:30:11.260 so I
00:30:12.840 am a
00:30:13.240 believer
00:30:13.600 but I
00:30:14.680 have loved
00:30:15.700 for the
00:30:16.300 first time
00:30:16.940 years ago
00:30:17.500 when you
00:30:17.820 first introduced
00:30:18.600 the idea
00:30:19.280 of the
00:30:19.700 simulation
00:30:20.340 it has
00:30:21.660 just been
00:30:22.200 fascinating
00:30:22.740 to me
00:30:23.580 that and
00:30:25.160 I see
00:30:25.620 evidence of
00:30:26.420 it over
00:30:26.960 and over
00:30:27.540 and over
00:30:28.060 and yet
00:30:28.800 the flip
00:30:29.800 side of
00:30:30.440 that is
00:30:31.320 that in
00:30:31.780 this world
00:30:32.680 the Christian
00:30:33.800 belief world
00:30:35.000 we call
00:30:35.760 those Easter
00:30:36.880 blessings
00:30:37.800 blessings
00:30:38.040 and for
00:30:38.840 me
00:30:39.640 you
00:30:40.340 are
00:30:40.780 today's
00:30:41.560 Easter
00:30:41.980 blessing
00:30:42.480 happy
00:30:42.920 Easter
00:30:43.360 Scott
00:30:43.820 oh
00:30:44.360 you're
00:30:44.620 so
00:30:44.780 nice
00:30:45.080 I love
00:30:45.500 you
00:30:45.640 thanks
00:30:46.020 have a
00:30:46.820 great
00:30:46.960 day
00:30:47.240 bye
00:30:47.640 bye
00:30:47.840 I like
00:30:50.640 when people
00:30:51.080 are in a
00:30:51.420 good mood
00:30:51.820 just because
00:30:52.380 it's Easter
00:30:53.420 maybe she's
00:30:54.020 in a good
00:30:54.300 mood all
00:30:54.680 the time
00:30:55.040 I don't
00:30:55.420 know
00:30:55.720 let's see
00:30:57.920 what Omar
00:30:58.340 has to
00:30:58.800 say
00:30:59.080 Omar
00:31:01.480 may the
00:31:03.640 gods of
00:31:04.040 technology
00:31:04.700 connect us
00:31:06.120 but it
00:31:06.900 looks like
00:31:07.460 they may
00:31:08.940 not
00:31:09.320 so
00:31:11.780 Omar
00:31:12.180 has got
00:31:12.660 some
00:31:12.840 technical
00:31:13.220 difficulty
00:31:13.880 come back
00:31:14.460 Omar
00:31:14.800 come back
00:31:16.440 let's try
00:31:17.820 Jan
00:31:18.200 Jan
00:31:20.880 Jan
00:31:21.500 do you
00:31:21.780 have a
00:31:21.980 question
00:31:22.240 Jan
00:31:22.580 happy
00:31:26.280 Easter
00:31:26.660 what's
00:31:27.620 your
00:31:27.720 question
00:31:27.980 I've
00:31:28.460 got an
00:31:28.860 idea
00:31:29.220 and I
00:31:29.500 wanted to
00:31:29.860 see what
00:31:30.180 you thought
00:31:30.560 about it
00:31:30.960 so this
00:31:31.300 is a
00:31:31.620 really
00:31:31.960 rough
00:31:32.460 idea
00:31:32.920 I was
00:31:33.380 talking
00:31:33.640 about it
00:31:34.020 with my
00:31:34.340 husband
00:31:34.680 yesterday
00:31:35.220 with the
00:31:35.780 restaurants
00:31:36.400 being
00:31:36.820 I think
00:31:37.980 the
00:31:38.160 restaurants
00:31:38.540 are going
00:31:38.820 to have
00:31:39.080 a hard
00:31:39.400 time
00:31:39.820 coming
00:31:40.180 back
00:31:40.580 they're
00:31:40.780 going
00:31:40.880 to have
00:31:41.120 to get
00:31:41.400 really
00:31:41.680 creative
00:31:42.200 so what
00:31:43.140 do you
00:31:43.360 think
00:31:43.760 about a
00:31:44.560 handheld
00:31:45.260 mouth
00:31:46.340 shield
00:31:46.780 that you
00:31:47.380 could have
00:31:47.960 the restaurants
00:31:48.800 could provide
00:31:49.600 and now
00:31:51.280 this is a
00:31:51.740 rough idea
00:31:52.340 and they
00:31:53.240 would
00:31:53.680 they could
00:31:54.620 brand it
00:31:55.220 they could
00:31:55.620 make them
00:31:56.000 look kind
00:31:56.400 of fancy
00:31:57.740 or funky
00:31:58.380 down the
00:31:58.880 road
00:31:59.200 but the
00:31:59.760 idea is
00:32:00.220 you can
00:32:00.440 see people's
00:32:01.220 mouths
00:32:01.700 and they
00:32:02.520 would have
00:32:02.880 this little
00:32:03.280 handheld shield
00:32:04.320 and they
00:32:04.920 could take
00:32:05.280 it with
00:32:05.620 them
00:32:05.860 a
00:32:06.860 handheld
00:32:07.320 shield
00:32:07.900 so the
00:32:09.300 kind that
00:32:09.840 the medical
00:32:10.440 professionals
00:32:11.080 attach to
00:32:12.160 their head
00:32:12.540 is that what
00:32:12.900 you're talking
00:32:13.160 about
00:32:13.360 well no I'm
00:32:14.240 talking about
00:32:14.780 like you know
00:32:15.340 how the old
00:32:15.940 fans many
00:32:16.820 years and
00:32:17.400 decades maybe
00:32:18.500 centuries ago
00:32:19.260 women would
00:32:19.860 hold those
00:32:20.320 little fans
00:32:20.900 and they would
00:32:21.300 sort of
00:32:21.560 wave it at
00:32:22.080 themselves
00:32:22.580 but instead
00:32:23.860 it would be
00:32:25.020 like a fixed
00:32:26.820 it wouldn't
00:32:27.460 open up
00:32:28.200 like a fan
00:32:29.500 and be solid
00:32:30.280 or opaque
00:32:31.020 it would be
00:32:31.860 a clear
00:32:32.360 translucent
00:32:33.240 piece if
00:32:34.740 you will
00:32:35.200 held on
00:32:36.120 a stick
00:32:36.660 and you
00:32:37.180 would hold
00:32:37.520 it up
00:32:37.780 to your
00:32:38.040 face
00:32:38.540 while you
00:32:39.300 were talking
00:32:39.820 at a
00:32:40.120 restaurant
00:32:40.500 well you
00:32:41.700 know I
00:32:42.780 will use
00:32:43.140 the same
00:32:43.440 argument I
00:32:43.980 use for
00:32:44.340 face masks
00:32:45.000 which is
00:32:45.640 it seems
00:32:46.080 to me that
00:32:46.560 anything that
00:32:47.260 is a barrier
00:32:48.020 to the
00:32:48.700 force of the
00:32:49.920 air coming
00:32:50.360 out of your
00:32:50.680 mouth should
00:32:51.820 make some
00:32:52.480 difference
00:32:53.000 but I
00:32:53.760 would you
00:32:54.200 know the
00:32:54.620 obvious thing
00:32:55.160 is that if
00:32:55.900 you have a
00:32:56.220 mask on it's
00:32:57.560 going to keep
00:32:57.980 the air closer
00:32:58.600 to your face
00:32:59.280 if you have a
00:32:59.940 flat object in
00:33:00.860 front of you
00:33:01.380 seems like
00:33:02.360 your air would
00:33:03.060 still sort of
00:33:04.180 escape around
00:33:04.880 it but it
00:33:05.660 would stop a
00:33:06.600 little bit of
00:33:07.140 it my it
00:33:08.480 my thought is
00:33:09.400 that it would
00:33:09.780 be hard to
00:33:10.160 make that
00:33:10.520 widespread and
00:33:12.000 it would be
00:33:12.280 hard to convince
00:33:13.020 people it made
00:33:13.720 enough of a
00:33:14.400 difference for
00:33:15.700 them to take
00:33:16.320 the effort to
00:33:17.220 to use them
00:33:18.060 and have
00:33:18.340 something in
00:33:18.800 one hand
00:33:19.400 and it's
00:33:21.780 good thinking
00:33:22.260 I like where
00:33:23.460 you're going
00:33:23.840 with this
00:33:24.300 because I
00:33:25.180 like the I
00:33:26.400 like the general
00:33:27.260 thinking of is
00:33:28.720 there some other
00:33:29.440 thing you can do
00:33:30.240 with your face
00:33:31.040 mouth area
00:33:31.840 to get us
00:33:34.300 past that
00:33:34.640 so I like the
00:33:35.160 thinking I'm
00:33:36.520 not enough of a
00:33:37.200 scientist to know
00:33:37.900 how much of a
00:33:38.440 difference that
00:33:38.860 would be but
00:33:39.340 as somebody says
00:33:40.520 in the comments
00:33:41.140 maybe some
00:33:42.740 I mean if
00:33:43.680 if coughing into
00:33:44.660 your elbow makes
00:33:45.400 a difference
00:33:45.920 make some
00:33:47.780 difference if you
00:33:48.560 can get people
00:33:49.060 to do it
00:33:49.760 anyway interesting
00:33:50.940 idea thank you
00:33:51.680 for that
00:33:52.020 thanks
00:33:52.640 hi
00:33:53.300 any any ideas
00:33:58.820 that require and
00:33:59.860 then everybody
00:34:00.460 will do X is
00:34:01.960 always a problem
00:34:02.720 because getting
00:34:03.520 everybody to do
00:34:04.400 X is pretty
00:34:05.960 darn hard
00:34:07.160 all right I'm
00:34:10.900 going to add a
00:34:11.460 studio hello
00:34:14.300 caller do you
00:34:15.080 have a question
00:34:15.520 for me
00:34:15.980 caller I'm
00:34:19.420 talking to you
00:34:20.000 but you don't
00:34:20.400 know it yes
00:34:21.000 hi um
00:34:22.560 DJ DJ LC
00:34:23.900 studio yeah
00:34:25.460 when you're
00:34:26.640 writing the
00:34:27.120 Dilbert comics
00:34:27.940 do you think
00:34:29.040 that you're
00:34:29.880 kind of going
00:34:30.340 through the
00:34:30.620 process of
00:34:31.300 having conversations
00:34:32.120 with yourself
00:34:32.760 the internal
00:34:36.240 process I don't
00:34:37.380 know if anybody's
00:34:37.960 ever asked me
00:34:38.460 this question
00:34:38.920 which is actually
00:34:39.560 a really good
00:34:40.080 question the
00:34:42.060 internal process
00:34:42.940 I have when I'm
00:34:43.540 writing it is that
00:34:44.360 I usually start
00:34:45.040 with some concept
00:34:45.980 so it's something
00:34:47.060 that bothers people
00:34:48.060 something that
00:34:48.700 happens a lot in
00:34:49.380 the office and
00:34:50.640 then I then I
00:34:51.480 say well which
00:34:52.360 characters would
00:34:53.580 make sense to be
00:34:55.340 interacting around
00:34:56.220 this concept and
00:34:57.280 it's usually pretty
00:34:58.300 obvious you know if
00:34:59.480 it's sort of a nerdy
00:35:01.260 thing it's Dilbert if
00:35:02.600 it's a boss thing it's
00:35:03.520 the boss etc so then
00:35:06.020 I've got the concept
00:35:06.980 I've got the
00:35:07.560 characters and then I
00:35:08.940 say all right where
00:35:09.660 are they and it's
00:35:10.920 usually in the office
00:35:11.820 and then I say all
00:35:13.460 right who would start
00:35:14.800 the conversation now
00:35:16.600 as a writer here's a
00:35:19.740 little writing trick
00:35:20.720 people have said they
00:35:21.720 really like this
00:35:22.360 writing trick so I'll
00:35:23.380 repeat it if you want
00:35:25.520 a dialogue to look
00:35:27.100 sort of realistic even
00:35:30.160 though it's in comic
00:35:31.240 form but enough
00:35:32.500 realism that people
00:35:33.380 say oh that happened
00:35:34.280 to me you avoid asking
00:35:36.120 questions because it's
00:35:38.560 really easy as a writer
00:35:39.500 to say okay it's two
00:35:40.480 people talking the first
00:35:41.520 one asks a question the
00:35:42.660 second one answers that
00:35:44.220 becomes boring right
00:35:45.340 away now you can't
00:35:46.900 avoid it because in
00:35:48.000 the real world people
00:35:48.780 do ask questions and
00:35:49.760 stuff so I of course
00:35:50.760 include questions of
00:35:51.780 the comic but the
00:35:53.040 first thing I tell
00:35:53.720 myself is can I
00:35:55.080 rewrite it without a
00:35:56.060 question so I always
00:35:57.740 have that that thought
00:35:59.420 in my head so I start
00:36:00.860 writing the comic and
00:36:01.880 you know I reflexively
00:36:03.160 because everybody does
00:36:04.060 first line is a
00:36:05.280 question I go okay my
00:36:07.360 rule is if I can
00:36:09.360 avoid it the first line
00:36:11.360 of dialogue should not
00:36:13.560 be a question should be
00:36:15.000 a statement because in
00:36:16.240 the real world people
00:36:17.380 don't care what you
00:36:18.400 think 99% of the time
00:36:22.240 nobody cares what you
00:36:23.380 think they simply tell
00:36:24.580 you what they think
00:36:25.440 they try to get what
00:36:26.700 they want they try to
00:36:27.600 move their agenda they
00:36:28.900 try to be selfish so if
00:36:31.360 you write dialogue write
00:36:33.440 it for people who are
00:36:34.280 being selfish self
00:36:35.540 absorbed and don't care
00:36:36.620 a bit about the other
00:36:37.640 people unless you know
00:36:40.300 happens to be a
00:36:40.940 character that that is
00:36:41.960 their very character you
00:36:43.760 know characteristic that
00:36:44.720 they care about people
00:36:45.520 but that'd be the
00:36:46.100 exception but the
00:36:47.340 ordinary people to make
00:36:49.340 them look like real
00:36:51.100 people in real
00:36:51.760 situations make them
00:36:53.440 super selfish and then
00:36:55.200 the audience will say
00:36:56.540 oh yeah I've had that
00:36:58.300 feeling before because
00:36:59.900 you're trying to get to
00:37:00.840 people's internal
00:37:01.780 thoughts you know not
00:37:03.180 the ones that they let
00:37:04.020 other people see so our
00:37:07.380 internal thoughts tend to
00:37:08.660 be far more selfish and
00:37:11.020 and dark than the ones
00:37:13.120 we let the rest of the
00:37:13.940 world see so if you're
00:37:15.320 writing dialogue and
00:37:16.420 you're trying to
00:37:16.860 entertain people it's
00:37:18.360 often good to have have
00:37:19.620 your characters make
00:37:20.460 statements that match
00:37:22.440 people's dark selfish
00:37:23.800 thoughts that always
00:37:25.300 works like it if there's
00:37:27.120 one trick of writing use
00:37:29.180 that one all right so
00:37:30.180 then the question is does
00:37:31.920 it become kind of a
00:37:32.700 dialogue in my head I
00:37:33.800 think that's where you
00:37:34.460 were heading with that
00:37:35.100 like do I hear the
00:37:36.440 dialogue is that what you're
00:37:37.300 asking kind of so it
00:37:39.600 reminds me a lot if
00:37:40.600 you're familiar with
00:37:41.440 what Jordan Peterson
00:37:42.320 talks about with
00:37:43.360 archetypes it kind of
00:37:44.520 seems that a lot of
00:37:45.320 your characters are kind
00:37:46.260 of archetypes yeah they
00:37:48.920 they very much are if
00:37:50.300 you one of the things
00:37:51.460 that reinforces that is
00:37:53.000 if you were to try to
00:37:55.380 map the Dilbert
00:37:56.320 characters the way they
00:37:57.460 exist into an existing
00:37:59.240 chess set you could do
00:38:01.500 it more easily than you
00:38:02.780 imagine that is to say
00:38:04.220 you would quite easily
00:38:05.860 know who the king was
00:38:07.080 which would be the
00:38:08.160 boss you would know
00:38:09.380 who the queen is because
00:38:10.420 the queen is the most
00:38:11.280 powerful character and
00:38:12.540 female that's Alice so
00:38:14.700 they map you know the
00:38:16.100 the one that looks like
00:38:17.760 a castle you know with
00:38:18.860 a little square castle
00:38:20.200 he had sort of even
00:38:21.340 looks like Dilbert and
00:38:22.820 Dilbert goes in straight
00:38:23.860 lines you know he's an
00:38:25.000 engineer I can only go
00:38:26.020 in a straight line so you
00:38:28.260 know and I shook the
00:38:29.420 the intern he's a pawn
00:38:30.860 he's literally smaller and
00:38:32.720 you know expendable in the
00:38:34.000 world of Dilbert because
00:38:34.900 he's just an intern and
00:38:36.760 and if you look at and
00:38:38.740 of course a dog bird would
00:38:39.980 be the the knight the
00:38:41.500 little horse because you
00:38:43.220 don't see a common it's
00:38:44.320 like oh two two over and
00:38:45.580 one over I didn't see that
00:38:46.560 coming so it's it's quite
00:38:50.660 common that you take any
00:38:52.820 popular TV show and you
00:38:55.860 can map it right into a
00:38:56.960 chess set because to your
00:38:58.480 point we have these
00:38:59.460 universal feelings of
00:39:02.040 categories of people and
00:39:04.060 we sort of automatically
00:39:05.040 our brains put people
00:39:06.120 into categories these
00:39:07.160 these archetypes as you
00:39:08.400 say so so there's that
00:39:11.220 but anyway to answer your
00:39:12.420 question once I have the
00:39:13.340 the characters set up and
00:39:15.040 I've got the situation and
00:39:17.120 the first try I ask a
00:39:18.480 question and they say no
00:39:19.620 no no don't make it a
00:39:20.400 question make it a
00:39:21.580 statement make it selfish
00:39:22.800 make it stupid that looks
00:39:24.360 like a person and then I
00:39:26.480 just iterate so I can
00:39:28.600 actually hear them talking
00:39:29.940 to me as if they're the
00:39:31.940 ones talking and I don't
00:39:34.680 know if I could always do
00:39:36.020 that or if that's just
00:39:36.940 practice or if everybody
00:39:38.340 could do that easily I
00:39:39.440 don't know but in my mind
00:39:41.160 I can actually just see
00:39:42.680 them and then they start
00:39:44.400 talking and so Dilbert
00:39:46.040 will say you know my
00:39:47.740 project is heading toward a
00:39:50.400 wall or something and
00:39:51.600 they'll look at it and
00:39:52.280 they'll say no he wouldn't
00:39:53.840 say it that way and then
00:39:54.860 he says it a different way
00:39:55.900 I go no that's not the way
00:39:57.800 Dilbert would talk either and
00:39:58.880 then Dilbert says something
00:39:59.800 else I go that's Dilbert
00:40:00.940 okay that's what Dilbert
00:40:02.700 would say and that's my
00:40:03.760 first sentence and then I
00:40:05.380 go from there and just
00:40:06.220 iterate when I get to the
00:40:07.680 end if there's something
00:40:08.960 about the timing or the
00:40:10.020 setup that didn't work I
00:40:11.620 can go back and tweak
00:40:12.580 things so that the you know
00:40:14.300 the the pace of the timing
00:40:15.660 end at the right place but
00:40:17.200 it's very iterative and it
00:40:19.200 is it is more like listening
00:40:21.200 than creating and that's the
00:40:24.020 part that people who are not
00:40:26.740 naturally creative probably
00:40:29.280 find to be the magic part
00:40:31.180 I don't know because you
00:40:33.800 only know you only know your
00:40:35.200 own brain so you don't know
00:40:36.220 what anybody else's internal
00:40:37.520 process is like well that
00:40:39.000 reminds me that reminds me of
00:40:41.200 a poem that I wrote which is I
00:40:42.940 can't stop writing poetry when I
00:40:44.560 reread I wrote and judge myself
00:40:46.880 yeah yeah so judging yourself and
00:40:51.560 rewriting is really the process
00:40:53.260 of writing so hating what you
00:40:55.780 just wrote is the most
00:40:57.860 dominant part of writing and
00:41:00.320 also something else you said
00:41:01.620 and then this will be the last
00:41:03.080 thing because you got plenty of
00:41:04.060 other important callers to get
00:41:05.160 to which is in Greek mythology
00:41:07.940 like they kind of represent
00:41:10.100 different architects like there's
00:41:11.480 like the god of love and the god
00:41:12.680 of war and all that stuff and
00:41:14.260 people were basically compelled by
00:41:16.820 those different gods and they
00:41:18.220 were like consumed or one could
00:41:20.480 say possessed by those gods and
00:41:22.540 something you were saying also
00:41:24.580 reminded me of a different poem I
00:41:25.840 wrote a long time ago about chess
00:41:27.300 but yeah so those are some
00:41:30.740 thoughts
00:41:31.020 all right thanks for the thoughts
00:41:33.920 all right take care all right
00:41:37.260 let's take another caller let's see
00:41:40.780 if
00:41:41.160 see if Larry has something to say
00:41:45.180 Larry Larry Larry are you there do
00:41:51.620 you have a question yes I can hear
00:41:54.860 you go ahead so I had a couple of
00:41:58.420 different thoughts one is about Bill
00:41:59.660 Gates and the other is about Joe
00:42:00.880 Biden which would you prefer
00:42:01.960 Bill Gates or Joe Biden you mean for
00:42:05.740 president no no questions about
00:42:08.480 topics oh give me Bill Gates all right
00:42:12.240 so Gates is apparently setting up
00:42:15.620 vaccine factories for seven different
00:42:19.020 promising vaccines which seems like an
00:42:21.440 incredibly you know generous and
00:42:23.220 proactive thing to do is going to
00:42:25.360 they're you know the Gates Foundation
00:42:27.120 is going to produce them just in case
00:42:29.000 they're viable so that you don't have
00:42:31.120 to wait but then all these conspiracy
00:42:34.340 theories pop up you know Bill Gates
00:42:36.140 is going to put you know micro
00:42:39.940 controllers in us and just it seems
00:42:42.640 idiotic why does that happen and how
00:42:44.980 can how can the Gates Foundation stop it
00:42:47.900 from happening well some of it has to
00:42:50.500 do with Bill Gates you know legacy
00:42:53.040 reputation because when he was making
00:42:55.080 his money as a young man he was he was
00:42:57.940 pretty much a shark so he would at least
00:43:02.260 he was famous for I wasn't there so I
00:43:04.820 can't judge it personally but he was
00:43:06.540 famous for let's say bending the ethical
00:43:09.340 limits at least within you know what's a
00:43:12.600 monopoly what is fair competition and
00:43:14.680 that sort of thing so he has that which
00:43:18.420 will always dog him but I think those
00:43:21.340 were also the the actions of a younger a
00:43:25.020 younger man and he always said that his
00:43:27.400 goal was to make a bunch of money and
00:43:28.680 then give it away intelligently and now
00:43:31.080 he is but I've said this before and I'll
00:43:33.800 probably say it a million times I'm
00:43:36.060 almost positive that Bill Gates is
00:43:38.140 exactly what you see meaning that
00:43:40.480 there's just nothing there's just no
00:43:42.760 pretense largely because he doesn't
00:43:44.860 need to he doesn't need your money
00:43:46.720 he's literally trying to give his money
00:43:49.120 away so the thought that he would have
00:43:53.620 something to gain either politically or
00:43:56.500 monetarily flies in the face of
00:43:59.000 everything you know about him because
00:44:01.040 I remember you said a couple years ago
00:44:03.580 you have you know you don't care you
00:44:05.260 have a few money and he's got a thousand
00:44:07.700 times the money that you have so think
00:44:10.760 you think about all the rumors and
00:44:12.380 complaints that go around about George
00:44:14.260 Soros right Soros is a rich guy but
00:44:17.360 he's just a fraction as rich as Bill
00:44:20.120 Gates if Bill Gates wanted power he
00:44:23.240 would be buying it directly he would be
00:44:24.980 doing what George Soros does have you
00:44:26.760 ever heard of Bill Gates buying power
00:44:29.020 anywhere I haven't have you ever seen
00:44:32.000 Bill Gates express that like clever
00:44:34.760 interest like oh I'd never run for
00:44:36.860 president gosh I'm certainly honored that
00:44:40.540 everybody's asking me but no I'm
00:44:43.220 focused on you know that thing where he
00:44:45.580 really wants to be president he's never
00:44:47.840 done that no he's just eradicating
00:44:49.820 malaria polio right right so I think
00:44:53.160 Bill Gates thinks that an elected job
00:44:55.660 would be a move back which I would think
00:44:59.140 if you if you asked me what is more
00:45:01.200 honorable and important president of the
00:45:04.460 United States or Bill Gates doing what
00:45:06.860 he's doing now I don't know we could get
00:45:09.280 somebody else to be president like you
00:45:11.400 could fill that job with other capable
00:45:13.100 people but how do you get another Bill
00:45:15.540 Gates foundation like trying to cure
00:45:18.300 malaria and stuff I mean that's that's a
00:45:19.940 one-off so I think that Bill Gates has
00:45:22.740 he can't be trying to get a promotion
00:45:24.980 because he already has the most honorable
00:45:27.900 important job on the planet he does need
00:45:31.660 money so so he doesn't have a motivation
00:45:34.700 and and here's another factor which maybe I
00:45:37.800 have a little special feeling for if you've
00:45:41.660 seen some documentaries about him he's not
00:45:45.020 normal meaning that he looks like maybe it's
00:45:49.120 Asperger's I don't know what it is but he has
00:45:51.380 the ability to focus incredibly now one of
00:45:54.660 the things that comes with that and this
00:45:56.700 is me speculating a little bit some I'm a
00:45:59.000 little further than where I should be but
00:46:01.620 just for fun part of the you know the
00:46:04.740 double the other side of the coin for
00:46:06.800 that intense focus and whatever the you
00:46:09.400 know being on the spectrum gives you which
00:46:11.600 is like a superpower in his case it also
00:46:13.700 makes you fairly honest and blunt so he's
00:46:17.700 not the kind of guy who could hide it I feel
00:46:20.660 like I feel like even when he was you know
00:46:23.480 being you know a capitalist evil guy during
00:46:26.800 his his Microsoft days I don't know if
00:46:29.100 anything was hidden it was just raw power
00:46:32.420 right I mean mostly he I don't think
00:46:34.980 anybody ever said you know Bill Gates told
00:46:37.620 me something I thought he was lying you've
00:46:39.700 never heard that have you ever heard one
00:46:44.860 accusation in the entire in the entire
00:46:47.820 history of Bill Gates has anybody ever
00:46:50.380 even one time accused him of lying think
00:46:55.060 about it think about how famous he is and
00:46:57.460 how long he's been in the public eye can
00:46:59.540 you think of one example where somebody
00:47:02.500 credibly said that Bill Gates himself as
00:47:04.700 opposed to somebody else at Microsoft ever
00:47:07.760 one time has even been accused of lying think
00:47:12.060 about it almost everybody's been accused of
00:47:14.420 lying I don't know that he ever has been
00:47:17.160 anyway somebody will think of an example
00:47:19.680 perhaps but no I'm I am I'm 100% confident
00:47:24.920 that Bill Gates is the real thing because
00:47:28.000 all of the incentive would be for him to be
00:47:30.300 the real thing that all of his incentive
00:47:32.480 there's no incentive for him to be anything
00:47:34.440 except exactly what he's showing you he
00:47:37.200 doesn't have anything to gain so but good
00:47:39.480 good question lots and lots of conspiracy
00:47:41.640 theories here in the comments yeah they're
00:47:43.800 among us I don't believe all right thanks
00:47:46.120 for the question let's take another maybe we
00:47:50.720 can do one more
00:47:51.760 let's see what TLC is up to TLC can you hear
00:48:00.580 me
00:48:00.860 morning do you have a question I actually
00:48:05.700 have an idea that I wanted to run by you
00:48:07.560 to see what you think okay good so trying
00:48:10.520 to problem solve how we get the economy
00:48:12.520 back open and do that in a way that keeps
00:48:16.240 everybody safe right thinking the least
00:48:19.600 vulnerable group seems to be teenagers okay
00:48:23.940 so what's preventing teenagers from taking
00:48:27.360 on what Mike Rowe called the dirty jobs that
00:48:29.900 are keeping the country moving well yeah I
00:48:34.260 think that's effectively what's going to
00:48:36.560 happen but maybe without the under 18
00:48:38.820 people because if you're under 30 you're
00:48:40.920 also pretty pretty safe relatively speaking
00:48:43.800 yeah I wouldn't be surprised if you see
00:48:47.620 that the people who have jobs that are
00:48:49.840 under I don't know 50 let's say do go back
00:48:52.360 to their own jobs but you might see to your
00:48:55.000 point young people filling in for the people
00:48:58.640 who can't go back to their job so I can see
00:49:01.600 that that would make sense as a temporary
00:49:04.000 situation maybe yeah yeah and I'm thinking
00:49:06.460 I'm from a manufacturing background and
00:49:09.400 there's this you know dearth of kids that
00:49:12.360 are going into these trade schools so now
00:49:14.680 that they're all not in regular school we
00:49:16.880 can send them into these jobs keep them
00:49:21.040 away from adults if you want to we've got
00:49:23.300 empty hotels all over the place empty dorm
00:49:25.900 room yeah you know I think you you hint
00:49:31.520 toward a bigger point which is everybody
00:49:33.820 is going to be really creative and
00:49:36.340 flexible about how to get this done so I
00:49:38.780 don't think there's even one element of
00:49:40.960 society that isn't under review right now
00:49:43.300 that we've never seen this before which is
00:49:45.480 part of the reason that I'm confident
00:49:47.580 about the future the future being you know
00:49:50.460 2021 and beyond because the amount of
00:49:53.820 innovation that this is going to sort of
00:49:56.580 accidentally trigger because we've we've
00:49:59.120 critically re-examined everything we do
00:50:03.240 from the from the bottom up as if it
00:50:05.200 didn't exist and we have to start from
00:50:07.660 scratch and say okay what if I always had
00:50:11.600 to give food in a world in which I
00:50:13.680 couldn't be around other people how would
00:50:15.640 I do it and then you think about delivery
00:50:17.800 and stuff and and so systems are being
00:50:21.580 modified just all over the place like
00:50:23.800 crazy just a ton of creativity and a b
00:50:26.480 testing going on so a lot of good stuff
00:50:29.500 happening I'm positive about that yeah
00:50:32.600 me too I'm with you on that and I have
00:50:34.060 one more thing that I'd like to see what
00:50:36.460 your thoughts are I'm not sure if there
00:50:38.940 was an article I believe two three days
00:50:40.800 ago in the Wall Street Journal about
00:50:42.360 farmers dumping milk and throwing out
00:50:45.200 cheese and this is an issue with
00:50:47.060 packaging right so there's HRI food which
00:50:51.660 is hotels restaurants industrial food
00:50:53.620 packaging and production and then
00:50:55.880 there's regular stuff we get in the
00:50:57.140 supermarket right and now more food is
00:51:00.120 consumed outside of the home
00:51:01.340 traditionally so now the week they can't
00:51:05.120 shift those lines over to package it in a
00:51:07.140 way that it can go into supermarkets but
00:51:09.600 then we're seeing these long lines that
00:51:11.360 food kitchens and other things I'm
00:51:13.180 reading this morning you know India's
00:51:15.200 starving yeah why are we throwing out
00:51:18.020 food what can be done to stop that
00:51:20.220 well my guess is that all of these are
00:51:22.680 temporary things so so temporarily you
00:51:25.360 could easily see somebody say ah if I
00:51:27.860 had two weeks I could solve this but my
00:51:30.160 milk will be bad in one week so so I
00:51:33.580 think if you you know check back in a
00:51:35.640 year a lot of that stuff would be worked
00:51:38.200 out they'd have new systems and just
00:51:40.360 just like you said I think it's only a
00:51:42.040 timing thing I think that just takes a
00:51:44.080 little while to work things out but I
00:51:47.940 think we'll get there so all right
00:51:49.600 thanks for the question thank you
00:51:50.980 let's do one more because it's Easter
00:51:57.280 Sunday can't think of a better reason
00:51:59.560 all right
00:52:01.000 I'm going to pick this one because of
00:52:07.800 your title based and running toward
00:52:09.760 what hello based do you have a question
00:52:13.540 our technology is not going to add you
00:52:16.140 it looks like all right so based will
00:52:19.040 not be with us let's try Blake
00:52:23.380 Blake do you have a question for me
00:52:29.000 morning yes I can yes so thinking about
00:52:34.800 simulation theory and all this
00:52:36.780 persuasion it's it's all like you know
00:52:40.320 once you grasp it and wrap your head
00:52:41.920 around it how do you make more
00:52:43.280 practical applications of it for
00:52:45.420 instance in stressful situations where
00:52:48.160 you need to be calm and think about how
00:52:50.700 to be more persuasive like if you're in a
00:52:53.220 court on the stand or you're in a
00:52:54.900 business negotiation or something like
00:52:56.660 that good question and I did something
00:52:59.680 like this with a relaxation kind of
00:53:02.120 exercise but there's there's more of an
00:53:04.480 everyday part of this I find myself on a
00:53:09.140 regular basis saying all right what if
00:53:11.420 my reality is not the you know the
00:53:14.020 classic one where I'm a real person
00:53:15.840 who's born and live and die and stuff
00:53:17.660 but rather what if I'm a character in a
00:53:19.720 video game and this video game is
00:53:22.580 designed for me to solve certain
00:53:24.980 obstacles to get to the next level and I
00:53:28.500 say to myself does it seem like I keep
00:53:31.360 running into the same problem
00:53:32.760 everywhere and it feels like that's
00:53:35.040 what defines the level you're on have
00:53:37.100 you had this experience where there'll
00:53:38.900 be you know other people have all
00:53:41.180 kinds of different problems in
00:53:42.480 different realms but you for some
00:53:44.760 reason keep having the same flavor of
00:53:47.940 the same problem in different clothes
00:53:50.020 one time after another and you say to
00:53:52.580 yourself and you say to yourself is
00:53:54.320 this my was this my challenge for this
00:53:56.600 level like I guess this problem just
00:53:59.080 keeps coming up and up and every I
00:54:00.880 could go to another state move to
00:54:03.060 another house change jobs and I would
00:54:05.260 still have this problem because it
00:54:07.140 would follow me like so sometimes it's
00:54:10.220 fun to think of yourself in a video
00:54:12.820 game so instead of saying oh why why am I
00:54:16.560 plagued by this problem nobody has this
00:54:18.660 problem but me why does it keep
00:54:20.120 following me instead of saying that say
00:54:22.260 oh I get it now that's that's my
00:54:25.180 objective for the level I can't go up a
00:54:27.180 level until I solve this so then it
00:54:29.480 makes it sort of fun you say all right
00:54:31.520 instead of this big annoying thing that
00:54:33.920 I'm a victim of what do I do about
00:54:36.680 this you know how can I get past this
00:54:39.400 how do I get to the next level so I'm
00:54:41.780 not sure that any of this is real but
00:54:43.080 it's fun to think of it the other thing
00:54:44.540 is that when you take yourself out of
00:54:46.640 your and if you're let's say a human
00:54:51.240 frame and you just suddenly look down on
00:54:54.900 yourself like you're a video game it can
00:54:57.300 take you out of your stress because you
00:54:59.880 can actually just imagine all right
00:55:01.300 imagine that I'm the game creator now
00:55:04.160 and I'm just looking down on the game
00:55:05.900 and I'm looking at my characters what are
00:55:08.040 the odds that those characters are going
00:55:09.700 to be you know let's say dead in a week
00:55:11.780 not very high right but if you are the
00:55:15.080 character and you're looking at this you
00:55:17.080 know one percent chance of getting the
00:55:18.660 coronavirus or something you're pretty
00:55:20.100 worried but then you take yourself up to
00:55:22.560 the game player level and you go one
00:55:24.460 percent chance I'm not going to worry
00:55:26.040 about that let's go to the next level
00:55:28.040 so so it does help sometimes to just
00:55:30.700 imagine you're a different person in a
00:55:32.800 different context and then you can
00:55:34.700 imagine that the same situation starts
00:55:36.820 looking differently because you have a
00:55:38.880 different point of view it's just a
00:55:40.060 little trick I use to take me out of my
00:55:43.100 preferred frame so my preferred frame is I
00:55:47.060 am me I'm in this real world I have
00:55:50.080 these problems and that can really weigh
00:55:52.680 on you so even though the problems
00:55:54.780 don't necessarily change you can think
00:55:56.620 about them differently by taking
00:55:58.480 yourself up to you know game creator
00:56:00.460 level and looking down and saying
00:56:01.820 that doesn't look like one that's going
00:56:04.080 to stop him for more than a few days
00:56:05.740 you solve that problem a hundred times
00:56:07.460 yeah he's not very happy but I give him
00:56:10.100 48 hours he'll have that he'll have that
00:56:11.940 over with and then it just lets you see
00:56:14.360 it more objectively anyway that's the best
00:56:15.920 I got for you hope that helped when
00:56:18.960 you're yeah good yeah when but when
00:56:21.300 you're so you give us all the tips and
00:56:23.120 we read the books and stuff but when
00:56:24.580 you're actually in the situation you're
00:56:26.140 like well do I use this technique or do
00:56:27.640 I use this technique how like how do you
00:56:30.280 frame yourself when you're in the moment
00:56:33.560 or about to go into it like I get the
00:56:35.600 relaxation thing you just said about
00:56:37.240 taking yourself out of that space and
00:56:39.160 being above it but when you're actually
00:56:40.780 in it when the questions are flying at
00:56:43.300 you or you know yeah so it doesn't work
00:56:46.480 I don't find that this works when
00:56:48.660 there are other people in the room so
00:56:50.720 if there are other people in the room
00:56:51.720 you're pretty much you know tied to
00:56:54.040 interacting with them you can't just
00:56:55.560 disappear into your head so I'm talking
00:56:57.260 about in your quiet times you know
00:56:58.980 you're you're drifting off to sleep
00:57:02.000 you're sitting at your desk by yourself
00:57:04.080 so it's more of a private process there
00:57:07.340 there's nothing you can do if other
00:57:08.700 people are around if other people
00:57:10.400 around you you will be drawn into
00:57:12.100 their their world so just save your
00:57:14.480 other thinking for when you're alone
00:57:15.900 would be my advice all right that's
00:57:19.840 the best I can do I don't think that
00:57:21.020 helped too much but thank you so much
00:57:22.460 for the question Blake thank you all
00:57:25.540 right I think I can add to here and
00:57:29.360 tomorrow and this coming week we're
00:57:34.680 gonna have a lot of news it's gonna get
00:57:37.040 really newsy there are some things
00:57:40.580 coming in the coming weeks that I know
00:57:43.800 about that you don't at least one of
00:57:47.560 those things is really really good meaning
00:57:51.420 that if you're wondering you know are we
00:57:54.140 going to be having this problem forever
00:57:55.880 the answer is no and I can't tell you what
00:58:01.780 I know that you don't know but let me
00:58:04.740 tell you that when you're looking at the
00:58:06.860 toolbox of tools for for dealing with
00:58:10.620 this coronavirus situation there's a new
00:58:13.520 tool that's better than the other tools
00:58:16.720 and you don't know about it yet because
00:58:18.940 it needs a little development we're
00:58:20.280 talking only about a few weeks maybe
00:58:23.240 three or four weeks you're gonna see
00:58:25.220 something that you will say to yourself
00:58:27.460 well if we had that before we'd be in a
00:58:31.540 lot better shape now so and that's just
00:58:34.760 one of the things I know about so I'm
00:58:36.840 talking about something with the
00:58:38.120 coronavirus there's there's good news
00:58:40.440 probably yeah nothing's a hundred percent
00:58:43.920 but there are things I know about that
00:58:46.080 you don't yet know about that would
00:58:48.040 suggest there's a new tool coming that's
00:58:50.500 better than all the other tools and we
00:58:52.760 might only be three weeks away so my
00:58:56.500 prediction is that if you're worried
00:58:59.140 we'll be locked down forever through the
00:59:01.560 summer or something like that very small
00:59:04.700 chance very small chance that we will be
00:59:08.200 locked down all summer might we be locked
00:59:11.080 down until let's say June 1st pretty good
00:59:14.140 chance pretty good chance I think you
00:59:17.320 know I think maybe some stuff will open
00:59:19.480 May 1st but I maybe not much I think May
00:59:23.380 May 50th is gonna be the first time that
00:59:26.520 anybody gets serious about opening stuff
00:59:28.580 up just a guess and I think June 1st if
00:59:32.560 you had to bet on it would be when more
00:59:35.180 things will open up than before June 1st
00:59:37.600 so if I had to bet on it it's gonna be
00:59:40.220 June 1st and part of this is dependent
00:59:42.780 upon these new tools that are on the way
00:59:45.000 one that I know about others that also
00:59:48.140 look promising but they're not really
00:59:49.780 gonna be online until around June 1st
00:59:52.020 that's when we can get serious so as
00:59:55.780 somebody says am I bluffing no I'm not
00:59:57.780 bluffing I could be wrong meaning that
01:00:01.160 maybe my optimism will be misplaced but I
01:00:05.040 know the tool works and it's just a
01:00:07.800 question of ramping it up so basically we
01:00:10.940 don't have to wonder if it works that
01:00:12.460 part's answered it's a manufacturing
01:00:15.140 production distribution question which I
01:00:18.240 think so he says June 1st is too long
01:00:22.420 well maybe here's here's what I think
01:00:27.000 I've been thinking about my neighborhood
01:00:29.560 you know I've got this app called the
01:00:31.140 neighborhood so if I send that a message
01:00:33.580 it's it's sort of geo fenced to only go
01:00:36.940 to the people in my zone that live there
01:00:39.620 or at least people who signed up to live
01:00:43.120 there and I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna
01:00:47.340 make sure nobody starves in my
01:00:49.620 neighborhood I'll probably said that I
01:00:52.620 was gonna send that an email or
01:00:54.060 something or a message on the next door
01:00:56.680 app just to tell people in my
01:00:58.660 neighborhood that there isn't any chance
01:01:01.320 that they're gonna starve unless unless
01:01:03.080 we all starve so if somebody needs a
01:01:05.420 sandwich in my neighborhood I'll buy them
01:01:07.280 a sandwich so you know it's a pretty
01:01:09.400 upscale neighborhood so people aren't
01:01:10.840 going to be too much starving here but
01:01:12.840 the point is I can personally make sure
01:01:15.820 as long as the supermarkets still have
01:01:18.900 food and I had still have money I can
01:01:22.640 make sure that nobody starves in my
01:01:23.960 neighborhood like I can guarantee it
01:01:26.900 I'll just put out a message to say hey
01:01:28.560 if if you have some reason you can't
01:01:30.740 give food email me I'll take care of it
01:01:33.460 right away so nobody in my neighborhood is
01:01:36.720 going to starve likewise nobody's going to
01:01:39.220 be kicked out of their homes because
01:01:41.760 nobody's going to get evicted in this
01:01:43.420 environment so if you don't get kicked
01:01:46.040 out of your home and they're not going
01:01:47.380 to turn off the power they probably
01:01:49.520 won't even turn off your cable because
01:01:51.900 everybody knows people are having
01:01:53.820 trouble paying bills so at least for the
01:01:56.800 next few months I think everybody can
01:01:58.760 stay where they are I mean they have the
01:02:00.780 option it won't be fun but you can stay
01:02:03.120 where you are and I don't think there's
01:02:05.280 any chance that people won't be willing
01:02:08.400 to help feed you should you need it and I
01:02:11.780 know that you know part of the problem is
01:02:14.920 that there are people who just had normal
01:02:17.280 good jobs and lives who suddenly literally
01:02:20.320 can't buy food and I think that for many
01:02:23.440 of them just asking for help is going to
01:02:26.120 be the hard part asking for help is going
01:02:29.560 to be the hard part right which is why in
01:02:32.580 my neighborhood I'll probably just send
01:02:33.940 out an email so people contact me
01:02:36.620 personally because nobody wants to admit
01:02:39.060 they need help so you say June 1st is too
01:02:44.460 long but let me suggest this zero people
01:02:48.400 will starve to death in the United States
01:02:50.960 so I'm predicting that zero people will
01:02:55.000 starve to death because of the
01:02:56.420 coronavirus I don't know if there's
01:02:57.740 anybody starving for other reasons but
01:02:59.440 not because of the coronavirus we're not
01:03:03.000 going to run out of food and we're not
01:03:04.320 going to run out of generosity got plenty
01:03:06.660 of that all right I'm seeing in the
01:03:12.900 comments that Mark Cuban would crush
01:03:15.160 Biden I think you're right all right
01:03:18.900 that's enough for now I will see you
01:03:21.420 tonight you know when see you then
