The post Episode 1026 Scott Adams: Today I Solve Systemic Racism, But Only in the Independent Nation of my House appeared first on Scott Adams' Blog.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
From bump bump, bump bump and above bump bump stood morning, everybody how
that is to say you is a nice to be appreciated in the morning,
Well, I'm appreciating always true story. So, let's get to it. We ve got a lot of problems to solve. Today. Systemic risk
we ve got breakaway nations in the United States. We ve gotta economic problems. We ve got stress, but I'm here to fix all of that.
And they won't be difficult once we,
prepare ourselves and all we need copper, Mugger, a glass tanker gels, resign, Kantian, jogger, flask of vessel of any kind and fill it with your favorite liquid
I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine,
the day the thing that makes everything better
including corona virus, including racial relations, the economy, even trade, deals
it's called. The simultaneous separate happens now go
So I just we a video insight into for land.
I guess we're calling the autonomous zone that they call Chaz. Other people are calling antivirus
and I saw a video where they were having a pickup game of dodgeball, and let me ask you: how do you think a pickup game of dodgeball turns out in a land in which people don't like to have rules just about
you thought that's funny. I just saw notice that the
The main street in my town is gonna clothes main street, where all the restaurants are most of them. Anyway.
Close means raid on weekends, so that the table seeding can extend into the streets.
Not a bad idea is it who came
with that idea.
Yes, I did suggest that to the restaurant owners through the one
under that. I know the best,
so I did suggest that the admin he did say he was going to talk to the town about it, but I don't know if that's what happened, but I like to think that one of the one of the best things that came out of these crises- you know it's it's way too early to be looking for any good news during during the middle,
of a triple crisis, but it is true that with it we ve noticed this a number of times. The people became very flexible to a good suggestion.
Right, didn't you see this everywhere? Suddenly
Entire world became flexible.
To listen to a good idea and if you have it
idea away:
Later, the lower change you saw with tell health and doctors being able to practice across borders.
The somebody comes up with an idea: hey, let's change that, because it would help a lot with this covered situation.
A week later, there's an executive order
and the law of the land is different.
You ve never seen this before
you ve, never seen.
Ordinary citizens, ay ay. I got an idea
I know we do x and then a week later, acts is actually implemented.
They kind of fun
its own way through there's something funny about that. I don't think that last but certain.
Certainly at identifying characteristic of this time. That is quite different.
How many of you saw my appearance, Talkin Karlsson, show last night raise your hands. I can't see you less right. I'm the only one overview, video.
Well, I don't think I don't think my answers on Tucker show willing exactly in the direction use expected. I was talking
Chaz those a topic I was asked to talk about.
And I was unusually, probably surprisingly, supportive of the
as people and I'm gonna get it continue to say that now
ignoring all the cost of it, not ignoring that.
I'm taking full appreciation that are victims involved,
Live there have businesses there, that's a gigantic.
Inconvenience, slash abusive. You know, situation
So none of that is minimized, but were adults we can talk about the whole picture,
And part of the whole picture is its
really interesting experiment
Oh god, I don't think I could be more interested in what
aiming in antiviral and then just about
everything that happened in the news in a long time. You know it
then Trump has got a little quiet lately. Have you noticed that I mean
by your standards is, is getting a little bit quiet to maybe two to a fault, given that he could. He could be doing some useful stuff, but
far and anti fatherland or chance. If you prefer, is really interesting.
Good and bad. It's really interesting, so early
here the things that interest me about a number one is to see her.
Quickly, they will say, evolve toward the system that they were trying to escape.
So the things that we have already seen them immediately realized they needed, and I am not the first to point this out, but walls they needed a border. The very first thing they did was created border
that there should be important.
Other words are, our national consciousness should be,
moved a little bit.
Without any argument being involved. Simply because we observed that the people who won assumes are the most against borders.
The moment they were in charge, the first thing they did
greater border wall. Firstly,
It wasn't even psychologist, firstly,
the border or so
even though this is not directly connected to you know, any border immigration question
I dont know how this couldn't affect you right
because the question do are our borders necessary? I feel, like that's, been answered.
The other thing that empty for learn how to do or water
They had to do a register. I emerged that the few people were guns turned out to be the security force now
imagine, if anti had no guns turns out, they ve got some guns,
but what if they had no guns.
Well, then, you and I could conquer antiviral end with just a couple of guns.
If nobody else had a gun, you need
couple a high powered weapons just go into anti
Let us say: I'm your new king, so
I think one of the things are realising is, if you don't have
credible and functional security force,
anybody can conquer you
It looks like a wrapper named, whereas
conquered anti for land nothin
now, of course, I am exaggerating for comic purposes.
It could be. The rest is just trying to help out, because we know that he has at least access to go
and we know these sort of self appointed security there he couldn't be just helping. I mean it could be nothing but a proactive done
But you have to wonder if the people there are completely, let's say comfortable.
With somebody assuming the mantle of armed security force in their their new nation, that's gotta make them think about things in a different way. Here is another thing
because everybody in the empty Finland Land has a phone and
Users, any kind of action in public they turn on their phone anti for land is the first place to. I was a fully implement a hundred percent public surveillance.
Think about it, everybody there has a phone and they're all trained
that as soon as there's anything going on, they point their votes.
So even though it's not your security cameras affixed to light to light poles, whatever its now security cameras, but they ve created
themselves in a situation in which there is one hundred percent complete coverage, because
outdoors, let them so much outdoors activity and they'll headphones with them that they are a completely monitored society. Now
I think that might have been closer to the opposite of what then mind, but that's how it you're. No,
So what you, MRS interesting now, what I said on top issue and I'll say again is,
these small experiments. We need to do more of these, but do them in a more organised.
Legal planned way that doesn't take over anybody's existing property. There must be plenty of property in the United States. There would be a good place to try a little community seas
Happens with no police, maybe they use some other mechanism, and maybe they use technology, and what I said on Tucker Show is that we have a code.
That largely was design pre internet and then we just tried to attack the internet out to it, as best we could do exist
system, but I think one of the things that the protesters have exactly right.
Is it? We really haven't tried the other options, either you
I can certainly say Scott. If you
either no police option is all gonna go bad and it's not going to work, to which I say
you could be right. You can be a hundred percent right, but I don't know that
because I don't know what the options are.
No you could you ever hybrid situation. Could he have have as many right?
police so wish you reduce the number of armed people in the public, but you haven't you
compensate with other kinds of services, let's test it, but let's test it is a clean, well fun.
Organized way to Athens good work
don't think it'll work everywhere.
My big question about anti for land, we'll black.
I've matter and anti for co exist in peace in the long run.
In the short run anti fa in black lives matter at a common enemy. The system.
What happens when they don't have a common enemy more well in theory, why should I?
is any time you don't have a common enemy you and are fighting with each other is pretty much guaranteed.
There we saw already that there was a sign. Who knows how much is real cuz your photographs coming end of in land to be staged could be, doktor can be out.
Tax, so you'll be careful about any pictures of video. You see in general
but there is a side there that looked like they had to segregate their communal garden, so so they had to segregated into a black garden and awaken. Now, if a few days
your nation, you ve, decided that you did Borders army cops, you ended up one hundred percent of surveillance and public
And segregation.
Maybe things are heading in the right direction,
But on the other hand,.
Were learning a lot here,
There are learning the lot it's just really.
In a way that I don't think we fully realise this is really useful but very expensive.
And I would argue that the value that we're going to get out of it might exceed the cost in the long run. Just cuz of how it'll change that we think about things.
Of course, I know there's no comfort to the people losing their property and inconvenience at the moment.
I'm hearing more and more people who are afraid the whole world is falling apart. Do you feel that way.
Do you feel afraid that were on the on the brink of total societal collapse that the the republic could be bending ready to bring?
That this civil society is about to fall apart and we can talk to each other and everything's everything's a mess. How many of you think that somebody is somebody says they think I'm stoned, unfortunately,
This is what actually sound like. I wish. I were but sorry to disappoint you, I'm not so. Here's my taken it
The there there's one central fact of life there
Keep your head
ever let me leave so should be the filter that you put on
to buy anything you see in the world, and it goes like this
in the old days, the news was sort of reporting the news,
in the modern world and twenty twenty, the news is really just a way despite the chemicals in your brain
is not news in the way that news is supposed to be news like useful in
nation that you can take advantage of.
Make a better world already that the news is not that so
You still think the news is something like a way to transmit information.
You're, you're gonna be very lost and confused life or make any sense
because the news doesn't do that anymore, it's not their business model. There is no intention to do. That is not even an intention,
The news is early money, they ve got a business model, they need eyeballs and attention and a way to do
mister Jack up here.
Emotional state the audience. That is to the point where they can look away,
now, here's what I've noticed
If I were to walk outside my home today, how many problem
What I am counter, none, none! If
If I were to encounter a an African,
gentlemen, somewhere in my travel,
my work day today,.
He and I
have any issues nope
not a single issue. If I go
the public.
Is there going to be some problems or some riots where I live? Nope nope? In fact, if you took the map of the country
and then you tried to a year with a magic marker on your map. You threaten mark all the places where there is bad stuff.
Let's say: eluding, less save anti for land.
But of all together. It would look like this big map. They had just some pin breaks out. That's it
the entire Geographic, United States. There are a few pin bricks
They are making a lot of news the
as the majority of the country, the sore
love engaged they're they're, just
to go to work and take it
family lives alive, so the first
that I wonder if you're, if you find it
so stressed out. Cuz, you think the republic's on the brink of failing. I would say this: you should
reduce in your mind, just intellectually
go back, however much you worried by eighty percent. Ok,.
So that that will be about the right dial back to give from your attenuated state. That's artificial, because you ve been watching these
Breaks yeah you watching the George Floyd situation in the actual video.
Literally the moment. The last moments of his life, the users super super powerful, emotional.
Things. So everybody in the country whose watching the news is just cranked up beyond belief, but
the people were not watching the news, then
having a bad time at all.
So I would say this, that the perceived problem,
Eighty percent larger than the actual problem, the
actual problem is small compared to what the United States can handle it
like to feel good about something. Let me suggest this,
if you live in the United States. If your American,
living in the country.
The simultaneously handling race protests, leisure.
Slash, looting, whatever you want, but I'm a racial crisis.
We're handling a health crisis, the biggest we ve seen
And were handling, maybe AIDS was bigger depending on how you count things
an economic crisis.
We're handling three gigantic crises at the same time, and you know how we're doing pretty well.
Pretty well, actually, we are actually doing really. Well, though,
the whole story
These days is handling three unprecedented crisis,
is any one of which would be a pretty big issue? I mean obviously Aurelio
issue. Any one of them individually were handling three.
At the same time our handling it were totally handling and and
Take, for example, on hearing more craziness about President Trump.
Was it? Was it binding said that if the Trump lost the election, the military would have to take him out of the White House?
And the same errors is similar concerns that the president will tend towards dictatorship if he gets reelected.
Now does that sound even a little bit like that?
Well, do you live in?
because the world I live in President Trump would actually be. The last person in the world
who would try to stay in the White House if he lost an election.
Like in my mind, is inconceivable
It would be like saying, Scott here's what I'm worried about worried that rabbits,
will grow fangs and wings and start flying after us in attacking us with their things to which I say,
Maybe that's not why you should be worried about
things possible, but think rabbits gonna grow faint.
Wings all of a sudden for no reason and start attacking people. So
I wouldn't worry about things that are that unlikely.
So certainly the present leaving the way house if he loses the election.
I don't even know how to take it seriously. Honestly,
like I wanted. I wanted to give you reasons why you wouldn't leave, but it is so frickin stupid
so stupid I withdraw that it is.
Delusional to imagine that
President who doesn't even want to use the military overseas,
but me ask you: has this president killed fewer people than any other browser
I'm wondering if you compare presidents overtime. I would guess I'm not sure about this. I could be wrong about this, but I'll bet, if you looked at president trumps body count if you go
there are countries right and anybody that oppressiveness somewhat directly killed by their orders. I would think Trump would be alone among the lowest Wendy
So if you worried about the world falling apart, I think that that is artifact of television and the news that you should worry a lot less about, like eighty percent, less.
Bill Filmore continues to be extra interesting lately, because
I say this. I compliment him often, even when I disagree with his opinions, which is fair. I think
I compliment Biltmore because he is one of the few public people who is capable of seeing both sides.
Now that does mean he sees them the way. I see them. That's a little bit different
But bill moral literally is capable of looking at arguments on both sides. Now, why is that impressive?
Well, it shouldn't be.
Like. Why am I impressed at that? There should be the most Rudy.
Ordinary thing that anybody can do, but in fact it so rare that I would,
to help them build more in public.
We're being one of the most useful thinkers, because even if you disagree with them,
is really useful to watch. Somebody in public have an actual independent mind,
Like the more that you see, the more likely is gonna rub off on you a little bit so again.
It's not about what he says is the fact that even able, just even able to look at both sides in his is real Bolsa. So here's an example so Mars is was saying this bad strategy to call it defines the police is in his view. Liberals want to just
divert some portion of funds. Maybe it's additional funds, maybe some a little bit taken from the police.
But an Mars version is not eliminating please. This is building a better system that has some additional elements, but I don't think that's everybody
As a New York Times, Rennie
in peace. They said. No, we really do mean guarantee the police, but even that I dont know if that means get rid of the police.
They might mean we change their names. We ve. We get rid of all the existence
We train new ones, but there sort of police like, but we don't call them police. So I dont think that,
Mars wrong in the big picture, the big picture
they'll, be something like police, no matter. What so either he's right about that, but he criticizes. Do you
the police it just it just hands-
Basically and prompt the victory, so
Bill bar is smart enough to know that the democratic, the Democrats strategy of
Everybody getting on board Nancy Blowsy, everybody else to defend the police is basically just heading the election to tromp. Now, who knows you, others, who still way too many days between now and election day to say anything means anything
It'll be too many changes between now, but I think he's onto something I don't think there are too many people who are.
Against law and order in general, so the software
The two most interesting pieces of content yesterday and I tweeted that you should use
consume them in this order,
Chapelle. Today's surprise, I guess was especially Netflix that they put on Youtube. So instead I think you can see it on Youtube. You don't need Netflix. So as Dave Shell,
So he did it look like. Maybe it was a local event outdoors during corroded viruses fairly fairly new, and it happened since the George Floyd Incident. So it's a comedy act in which Dave Chapelle does no comment,
So that's the first thing you need to know about it. It's a Dave. Chapels stand up comedy in which he doesn't do any common. Nor is he trying to do a recovery.
He is just really he's really angry and worked up about the George,
the incident and so motions of act was a very
very watchful, very interesting exe,
nation of how he feels and how black Americans feel about the whole situation. Now yeah seeing in the car
the other thing you need to know about it is that he was very inebriate now use either drunk or use of some kind,
So you can barely stand up.
I would say that he didn't do himself any favours in terms of whatever you think of Dave. Shell.
I dont know they're doing an act that drunk it's very carbon for comedians on stage to be buster.
Are drunk, but I've never seen anybody try to do a stage act that drug actually amusing, that cheap or drunk or higher, whenever
but he also doesn't hide their part of his personality, and so you just just to take that into account. Is that, like he's being the hypocrite or something he even in his act, he talks about.
Love marijuana, etc? So I know these bay hypocrite and obviously comedians are their own separate category of of professionals,
Any such a nasty things about kinda zones syrup
But here's what I want to use the reason I recommend it
to attain the level.
Look for laughs because he's not trying to give you an eastern to make. You think he definitely makes you think
so I would say that the emotional trip that you takes you on is really worth going, because you wanna take the trip with him as your tour guide.
Because you're gonna feel how he feels now. Here's wasn
This thing about it, because the next current
I'm gonna recommend is SAM. Harris, who, I believe has probably been cancelled, already have to check it out of the job to broadcast last night and if he doesn't get here,
firstly, nobody's ever I'll. Be amazed because what said Harris did was, he went. He went to every third rail and basically
like you felt it was you. I don't want to read his mind, but
I could sense in his part gas, which was extraordinary by the way.
The same heiresses broadcast
I think, is wonderfully age is really one of the top podcast you mind every year, like of all part, gas from anybody in all time is
good, because it's a sort of a masterpiece of critical thinking against a backdrop of none.
That, don't you see
when you see him, lay out the critical thinking right after you, ve watched chapels, lack of credit, critical thinking. The contrast is just amazing.
Chapelle does a very smart guy, but of course
would you be objective and just purely rational. If you know, if you had identified in this, is why should as act?
if you had identified with George Floyd, like Alma
that's me or oh, my god,
I could be my son or something if you
five on that level. How could you possibly be rational about it really.
Is that even something you would ask somebody here. If, if you saw
Emily member being killed? Can I ask you to be rational about it? Now? It's not! It's not a fair question. This is not a fair request. I'm not gonna ask,
irrational in a situation where a rational person should not be rational, not at all.
Dave Chapels version,
of the world in which black people are being held.
Down by white people and Killed-
is really useful, if here
black- is really useful to get his good explanation of his worship. All does better than most people in the world is he's an amazing communicator, so communicates with
that's of emotion, and you know getting back to think about how drunk he was. I think,
maybe he just needed to be. I think maybe he needed today, because I think the.
The place he went, I just don't know if you could go there. If you work, if you were on something and I think he needed him, he felt a needle together. So
But here is the fascinating about the same Harris said
so what SAM did was went through the statistics. If he goes to the statistics, it does not support all of the claims of black lives matter. I think that's an understatement, but to hear him go through, it
It's just I mean it's devastatingly well done, but he
to some really dangerous places and the most dangerous place he goes. I I have also flirted
which is the idea that it wasn't the cop with the on the neck athlete kill them? They're, probably wasn't
and if you listen to SAM heiresses, explanation gives a very
a very, very compelling argument.
That in all likelihood what killed them was the cop on his back, because we know that steadily the cop on his back would be compressing is chest. He was having trouble breathing
there are gave another example of somebody on video. The police killed exactly the same way and sentinel was
so there is actually another video of a white guy being killed exam,
In the same way, by police and they,
also didn't know that the guy was dying Gazette there's somebody was neon these suspects back, and this was the other case, and
This aspect was I I can't breathe, can't raise and the cops we're just joking because
They didn't think they're doing anything that could in any way be concern, deadlier, dangerous and then the guy died red flannel
So when you hear SAM Harris New Calo, add at the context and show you there are other cases.
In my opinion, I dont think the guy with
near the neck, necessarily was the cause of death,
and we don't know, cause some ambiguity there-
but even calling out the ambiguity is probably pause for cancellation
so the Sami areas. We are the world's completely opposite of the data held view of the world.
If you listen to them one after another, you really gonna be fascinate, I think, because they, both through such a good job of of painting a picture of their different worlds. The site is a visiting two different planets in two hours. But here
was what interested me the most does, although SAM's explanation of their race relations situations outside,
That's my own almost identically and he had two things that I didn't know about which were compatible with what I was thinking as well. But, of course we differ. We differ starkly on the quest
of President Trump, so of course, sands frozen some things that I would consider tv s. He would consider, I think, plainly obvious, but those are two different world about Trump.
Now, here's the part, the really really interests me salmon.
Doesn't seem to be aware that he is part of the race problem or release didn't mention it. So I can assume, is not aware of it, but it goes like
Others more people have said that the racial, the the protests and the
the racial endless is much worse under Trump. Would you all agree that this
True, the racial division released at the moment seems like
probably would never have been this bad. If Trump had not been precedent, would you agree
Do you agree that maybe, if Obama had president people will just felt differently.
I'm saying no, no, no.
So I don't know what you're noticed too. So I'm not sure I'm interpreting that correctly
Now, if you look at the statistics, oh let me clarify, I think I know what you're saying no to if you look at the statistics.
I dont believe that there is any worse race relations, so I think that's what you're saying the comments. Statistically, I don't think race relations or worse, so I agree with you that Trump did not make that worse. But if you were to look at the news.
And you look at the pundits, do you think the news and the Pandit are talking about raise in a far more proof,
give way because, as part of getting a job, in my opinion, all that all the people with trumped arrangements syndrome who had been calling him a racist four years- have created this situation, so meaning the spark, obviously that and create the legacy of slavery. They didn't create systemic racism. If we can identify it, they didn't create racism so that that that parts already there but in terms of the energy that's being put into it at the moment. That's a combination of
to two factors in addition to the baseline racism, that is a problem and the two other factors are. There was a video that probably is misleading.
But nobody will ever believe that says the first thing.
Those are all laws by the way,
He says as clearly as possible.
From now on you, she said yourself that of it.
Those are a lie, and there is an issue that is because
All videos are alive all sometimes by exclusion, sometimes because the angle, sometimes because UK here with us,
but you can see it, but I would say that all video is a lie, and that applies to the next.
You see as well whatever that is not even talking about the the George Floyd. Video in particular, is a universal statement.
The small ways and their ways of videos like period. You could say that about photos as well
There's no awareness by the
media that they have created the situation by continuously calling half of the country racist. If your call
the president, racist and you're saying anybody who supports and must be also.
Either they are racist or their supporting the racist you ve got
a situation where you guarantee race rights,
How do you not get arrays right is the most powerful forms of persuasion which our social media plus the news?
the two most powerful weapon. Those pieces of persuasion
Are telling you every day something that's mostly not true is fake news. How much did the fake news about the fine people in Charlottesville? How much did that? Obviously fake news, as the President said, the opposite of what was reported, how much
that fake news is behind these problems. Will that will the media ever report on their own cope ability in creating a hallucination, the half of the country bought into and shut down the whole nation over it? The fact that we don't look at sea and then as the private
because of these problems is shocking. Just shocking, CNN, MSNBC, New York Times the Anti Trump Press,
Is one of the three parts the causes problems,
one part is the racism itself minimizing that, of course,.
The other parties, the video which is a lie?
We don't know how
Bruce something terrible
in the end and it looked like a crime to meet him right, so everybody saw was horrified that look like
crime, but you don't know what was happening cause you know. No, I was in their minds.
Exactly what killed him was the guy in the back. You don't know what you're thinking.
The video is a lie. The video is alive.
We just don't know in what way it could
should we be worse-
One of the ways we could be lying is one of his worse right. What because what is
what if they had just been saying some ill and worth
five minutes before the video rolled. If you didn't see
something's happening before the video came on and it was even would make the situation even worse. Well, that's a lie too, because the situation would be much worse.
As bad as it was. It could even be worse,
So the video always lies. You just don't know how
There are four days left
in my one we challenge to have somebody explain to me what systemic racism is before I disregarded as an illusion
right now. I have a rule that is banned
Over my lifetime- and it goes like this- if you can't describe something to somebody else- you dont know what to do.
In other words, you don't understand it yourself. Now, when you asked,
to describe systemic racism. You
a million different explanations which first of all, tells you
only one of them could be right, it's not really a million, but you get a lot of different explanations.
And if one of them is right.
It means that all the other people who thought they knew of systemic racism is there are wrong,
it doesn't matter which one is right? There are lots of different export.
Since, if any one of them is right, everybody
thanks. I knows what they know. What is wrong, so you know
something you can deal with, because I dont know which one of them is right and is
usually word salad when he asked somebody? Let me give you an example.
We wanted to give
exact example that I hope I wrote down. Dammit forget to write that down. Airway. Look at my questions about this. My tweets asking people for examples and you'll see
it's sort of word, salary and crazy, so people we use analogies, because I don't have anything that real to that. They can point out, though, use historical examples
Well, imagine that the things are legal today that are not legal, like ran learning so.
I don't know what the problem is, that nobody can give me an example. If somebody can explain it to you, they don't know wonders every single time.
I asked the following question and
I've been asked if I'm trolling or serious or or I'm just trying to cause trouble. Interestingly, I wasn't trying to cause trouble. I think I get blamed for being too much
control even one another, so here's a question I asked
Do you have any statistics, Ivy League educated black people who have been killed by police,
Compare that two Ivy League educated people from other ethnicities
and the reason I ask that that way is because that would control
all four allow more variables, in other words race, would be that the thing that really stood out as the ones
That's different. Does you imagine that an Ivy league graduate word be smarter on average, if you went to an Ivy league school you're, probably smarter than somebody you didn't. So if you're a smart
I personally get stopped near a smart wipers, onerous marked Asian,
american, whatever you are you're just a smart person and you probably plight,
If you want to an ivy leave school.
Are you more polite than the average person? Probably probably that's been my experience, they just have good manners. This is despite the culture
part of the learning experience at the very least? Even if you didn't have good manners before he went to your Ivy League college?
While you spent four years around people have really good manners Polytech up something. So if it's true that police would was eight injure were kill an ivy league educated black man in America,
some significantly larger rate than any other ivy league educating the person who can stop. Let's say you can control for other factors to like income time today in whenever, without tell you something now was pointed out to me that that
a bad comparison, because your ivy League educated people, no matter what their ethnicity opera
are you gonna be stopped by police in the upper class town? Fair enough is still works because
even if only rich people were being stopped by well qualified police, upscale town, if you
They have any difference between how the black motorists were treated by the police and anybody else.
I think that will tell you something.
Now the trouble with all of these all of these statistics,
that any one measure of
the other stuff doesnt tell you enough, it just doesn't hurt you love. Somebody says insufficient data set about it because there there must be thousands, thousands and thousands of people that you could powerful at innocent.
So what.
About.
Let's talk about having a cure their says. Systemic racism will guard the wayward. So
as unthinking through this, like what's a system so as theirs
I'm a graces means is a problem with the system is not up not by.
Definition, is a problem with the people, something about the systems. So
Your first system that everybody is involved in life is your family. If you're families
them is bad.
How well are you going to do in school? Will on average, not so well, if this,
system is broken, your school is broken and then you don't get the good job. You don't get the Good College, basically.
Everything that you can measure in these systems is all pre broken. So, if you imagine
these systems. Are racist, you might
you're looking in the wrong place, because if you get this far right, there's
what less problem and all the rest of it. But how do you feel
Sport,
conservatives
those are a little bit harsh, I think, and this question, because
if you're lucky enough to have an intact family,
Your family unit is pretty strong. Nothing is perfect, but your family unity scrawl me, you don't have any divorces to parents and all that. Well, congratulations are you lucky, but you know,
that's not the rest of the world. A kid doesn't get to choose if they have to loving
it's in the real world it doesn't always is out here is the problem with the family. I finally came up to a way that I can just use math tourist,
the problem, the problem with family as the system,
the problem as trying to invest in an individual stock.
What's the problem in investing in one stock, no diversification right.
So if that one stock turns out to be bad, you ve lost
all the money you ever had, because in this example you put all of your money you ever made into one stop. If it goes bad,
everything that's, why it's a bad idea instead
You buy a basket of stocks that represent the whole market, some of them,
can be bad, some of them to be good average it'll be more good than bad celestial.
Math to learn how to invest?
The family units the same problem you get to parents.
What are the odds? The both of them are good meeting that one of them's not an abuser. One of them is not a pedophile. One of them's doesn't have a drug problem, one of them
you're kidding. What are the odds eager to good ones.
Well, there are lots of people got lucky, maybe
Maybe a third of the country are not the number has, but maybe a third of people got lucky. They got a strong family unit.
I'll think is more than a third I'll bet, two thirds of at least one bad parent or none are no good terms. So what did you do to compensate for the fact that you don't have diversification in your face,
so if you get a bad one, you're in bad shape. Now. Imagine, if you will the you also have the ripple effect from the legacy of slavery, the original sin,
is it likely that even
even these many years after it, and they should always a good point- was his Dave chapels, great grandfather,
actually a slave. It was actually a slave
Chapelle says that's today.
If you, if you knew somebody or you can you can name somebody their own family who was actually
Your slave, thus, today that that's his boy that that that ripple effect, it's not like some.
Any rebel from a million years ago. It's pretty present, you know. If you look at history and generals, it's kind of clothes.
And so one could imagine that without have effects on the family, which would then have a ripple effect, all the way through
No, what do you do about that? Nobody knows nobody knows
literally. Nobody has any idea what to do about this.
There's no way to really fix a fairly is having a fixed families. The problem is, the problem: is bath
There is a simple diversification problem. You just can't diversify with just two people. The math doesn't work.
The odds are, one of them will be bad is just so high
It has nothing to do with its just math.
There are many good people in the world, you can expect. Most people have good parents, and so
I suggest the following as something to be tested. Here's my here's. My hypothesis goes.
There are some people in some situations the needs.
They more like a tried. Now we're not getting ethnic here. Tribe applies to,
anti far or the way people in it and tea for stand if
Those likely to build a tribal kind of society, which is why I am so interested if you like
the videos coming out of anti for stand there.
Two things that occur to me: one is not economically viable, in other words a candle. Ask as it doesn't have the systems in place to make it last so that's eyes,
but number two. They seem to be having a good time right.
They seem to be having a good time. Secondly, I don't think there's been that much violence converting unless you expect without please write.
And I wonder if there are not at least for some period of life,
A situation where you'd be better off in a village and here's. Why, if you have to parents,
What are the odds that one of them would be a good mentor? You only have to
let's make it harder
one parent very common right.
What have many households have? One parent is big, like forty percent giant number.
We have one parent.
What are the odds without
impaired has good advice for life? They might
they might. I would say that my mother had good life advice, so I got lucky. My father suggested that I go work from the Post office because they have good benefits.
Led to parents, one of them? My mother gave me extraordinary life life advice in a variety of ways. My father gave me the worst who hated vice I've ever heard in my off, like a life wishes, go get a job for the Post office, which is where you work. Does the health
benefits agreed one. If I'd had no parents who were good and giving life advice once they were none right, that's gotta be
very, very common, but now imagine that you are part of a tribe and you can do
I've tried anywhere. You want, but let's just say it's a loose structural people who have some mutual support.
There, while the odds at least one person in the tribe.
Some good advice is pretty good. It's pretty good.
The argued, I'm gonna make issues math that there might be some?
people in some situation. Now you now you if
really works for you. Do the family. Thousands seems like a pretty good deal, but I just don't think it works for everybody and I think we have to recognise. There is no one size fits all now. A trend that I think supports this idea. The tribal experiment idea is that apparently, young people are growing up slower. Have you heard that now I dont know exactly what that means, but there's some
since the even biologically the young people are not there not maturing in the same way as in the past.
In the old days. If you were sixteen, you could run a business literally like I had to get out the friend of mine,
was running a bowling alley. Your views in charge here is the boss. His is father, invested ages ran the bowling
so he was running a business completely and aged sixteen. How did work out great? He will become a rich entrepreneurs, retired and travels around in Boston.
Now was that experience
Often does happen today: do you know anything
senior roles were running adult businesses. I think people are just postponing the adult part as long as possible and I think if you ve got people who have aged,
of high school there, not in college, but there
yet mature enough to have their own family. What do you do it? What are you doing?
people who are not so young, their parents are taking care of them, but they haven't matured to the place where they can just start thrown family or go into business and be good citizen.
There's a whole bunch of people who need a little extra maturing, and maybe colleges not they're calling will you do with them. They could be this, it could be in tv stand, it could be a tribe and if you get the first far right, in other words, if you dont breaker,
in the first few years of life, if you get the first few years right, that's a pretty good basis for the other systems to work now
So here is my overall point where we talk
a systemic racism, we'll talk about everything from college to jobs too,
begging and loans
to what are basically everything right: that the legal system.
But is it not true
every one of those systems is really just an outcome of the very first system being broken, the first system being the family. I think that's the conservative you but was not the conservative view is that the way to fix it is just have a better family. That's not a thing! Conservatives limit. Let me speak to the conservatives were listening here. If your advice for black people is have better families, gazettes, what work for you
That's terrible advice would be great if you can do it right. If that were something people who just want to do now. You tell me why
until we all have to do is have a strong family problems. All it's just not actionable. Advice is just useless to have that opinion, because it does
help anybody unless you're going to say all right, here's how to fix it, and nobody suggested anything like that. You're gonna have to try something else, so
I say, let's experimental, that maybe all this especially the male energy, which is the most dangerous, maybe put it in a tribe, is zero. Guessing you saw way if you see the pictures, room, Anti Trust in you see that they want to be in groups here. They they had a dodgeball pick up game that didn't go well because
But I have rules, but the fact that they are they just wanted to be together in a tribal kind of situation.
It might be. That does exactly what they need, but maybe you do that for a few years and then you mature enough, then you say how I bet somebody in my tribe now
I'm going to start a family, but now we're ready. We ve mature enough
got some good measuring we're in a good situation. Now we'll go to the next system, cause we're ready.
Howard, stern and trouble for black face? That's the whole story, Howard Stern, in trouble for black face
safe while the world anybody ever put on black face lighted.
Was there ever a time in my lifetime that that was ok, I even
Even if you were a shock job,
What was it ever? Ok,
remember elaborating time when that was ok, yet allowed people do.
Let's see if I covered all my incredibly fascinating points, it seems that
protest, if there's logos and are still not being covered by the news, is that true
still noticing that the news is not covering the protests
There's. One thing you need to understand is that the news is assigning our opinions. If you
I understand that one thing you know what needs to be changed and the system. What needs to be changed in the system is either either need more competition for the news, so you're not being fed sort of a mainstream narrow.
Which is what's happening now, or just a better way to understand. What's going on in your world now, let me make a general statement that what when I thought of it, serve a crushing thought, but I think we can get.
It goes like this for my entire lifetime, and probably several lifetimes before mine.
Would you agree with the following statement that you
He has been doing its best to move,
an emotional, irrational, civilization, early early humanity to a fact, based rational data driven.
Civilization you'd accept that as a truth, right that were there, we have real
been trying hard to move towards using facts and data to make our decisions. I think you would agree with that.
But there was one problem we didn't see coming.
Is that all of our data would be a lie so with we ve built in it,
our civilization.
Depend on having facts and data that we were then put her in Luke signed to make decisions. But what we didn't see common
is that a hundred per cent of our data is fake; now it doesn't have to be didn't have to be, but the people who give us the data at least the stuff we make decisions on in politics
otherwise it's all out of context. The videos are all lies, as I said before, there is always something before or after the videos than this non shown in the video
so, we ve created a civilization. They can't work when we say that again, we have consciously created a system, our civilization. That depends on good
to make decisions, while also creating a system that guarantees the data will never be good. Not even sometimes
Not even by accident, it will never be good, because people
making up their versions of their political data. Well.
I think I'll leave out those data. Does that doesnt support my side? I think I'll leave
the other data that doesnt support my side.
The data turned out to be wrong? Less run a correction that nobody will see, so we ve
we ve actually created a system which, if you
look at the objective I like to use the example of the the advanced species of alien land on the planet,
the only ones were unbiased, so they look at
They look at our system and they're trying to studies as your scientists were were dispassionate about our existence. They just want
They looked, Elsie aren't what's a system like other, ok good, they really.
Like facts, excellent. They
want to use reason and science, ok, good good, and now, let's look at their facts,
They also invented the system.
To lie to you on all the facts all over now
for starters, like sky you're, talking about political facts, I get that everybody disk elsewhere,
as you know, both sides were lying about the political fact. Oh, no, I'm not,
about political facts because it turns out there all facts- are political- didn't have to be that way about gun control, facts about climate change, facts about race relations, facts about an economic facts, about trade relations, facts, international facts who who got who got Gaston, who didn't fax? None of it
None of it absolutely none of it is dependable. In fact, the using of models to predict is sort of a confession that is made up here, really is,
that's a longer argument, but the mob
those are two,
boy you into thinking that there that the data is useful, because if you look at the data, you'd have questions,
You'd say her a measure that data is correct. For this reason that reason, but if you look at the model, it makes you think, pass the sale right. The model makes you focus on the model of it doesn't make you focus on the data that went into the model. So that's part of the magic trick. Look at my motto: where'd! You get
data, look at my model can I take a look at your data. Look at my model. My model is
First of all like it that curve, but where's your data,
have you seen my model, so
that's the world. We ve created one one in which we consciously build systems that can't work together. One requires facts and the other make sure you don't know them.
That's the system, so I think we can improve on that and I think we'll be fine by the way
and I do agree with the the Gruber optimists, the top optimists for the economy. I think the economy is really gonna. Surprise you, how well it
And here's the thing that the news is lying to you about at the moment.
Have you seen all the reporting about the new cases of kroner viruses, lot of right that some of that might be because there's more testing, but there does seem to be. I do by into the likelihood that there's also just lost more infection, because people are getting up more by do you know what they are de emphasising there d emphasising deaths? Do you know either deal.
Sizing deaths, cuz, that's are going down or at least thing flat, we're not having more people dying, we're just having lost for infections if it stays that way, and I think it might
Because you can be lots of infections,
so long as you're extra protecting the vulnerable people. As long as you learn to use ventilators correctly.
Maybe the therapeutics are already working. Some people say that drugs chloroprene already works, and that might be behind some of the drop in DES I'd, say that's unconfirmed.
So look at the DAS. If you see that all of the reporting is about the number of infections, that's fake news, because.
Do you care about the most used ass if people get it and get better? Now, of course, there is the worry that are a long term repercussions, not minimizing that.
But so far that doesn't seem to be a giant problem seems to be on the smaller side unless you haven't, if, as you guess at them of course, is a big problem,
yeah. I don't know the number of new tests explains and ever infections completely. I just up speculating that. Doesn't pay right. That's an open question hospital admission,
our only relevant if their impacted, meaning that if the capacity is tested- and it seems
here's the death rate is going down or stay the same, then, even if the hospitals or impact it is not the kind of impact that we saw,
again. If people are dying and being put an ventilators, that is a big impact, but if people are simply being treated in EL patient, maybe they
in the hospital for a little bit, but they don't go all the way. The icy you that's not,
we as bad as packing. Here I see use than people die anyway. That's your situation.
How many people died from the flu this year? Well, you know, there's a big question about whether the regular flew kills more than a few thousand people, because the number is not counted essentially estimated.
And I believe I would say the evidence strongly suggest that the people who estimate the number of people who die from the regular flow,
are probably lie price,
probably know it and they're doing it to get you to take the floor, shot.
So my guess is that
like all the other data in the world. That is just fake, the number of regular.
The reason that well you can now it's you, let me say stronger. The number of regular flew death is fake. News is just fake. Here's how you know, and you can tell us right- the number of people that they say die from the flu, which really means pneumonia.
Who causes the pneumonia. That's how it usually happens around and that's fifty thousand. You arrange something else than that. Same range of deaths per year is number people who died from fentanyl.
Now do you know anybody who died from the sentinel overdose? Almost certainly I'll bet you do. I certainly do my steps and die from it.
And you know- and I know other people, but
You ve never heard of anybody who died from a flu. The
ammonia that they died. I've never heard of it. I better
For a long time,
but once that
Neither does insisted, I mean that's just a small number, so yeah
If I had heard of people dying of regular, flew the clause pneumonia that caused them to die.
Then I'd say all probably is fifty thousand of those ear
about how about how often I hear somebody dying from an overdose.
If your hearing about them at about the same rate, even approximately you can say to you
ok they're, probably in the same general range, but if you ve heard of nobody, nobody it just it was.
News us all for now and I'll talk to you tomorrow.
