This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Everybody tat morning and welcome to the best part of the entire day week month are now. It could be that good. But today will be well, it should say provocative: are you ready for provocative Well, you know a good goes well with provocation. You're probably do All you need is a couple of my garage glass I think they're jealous just. I can't eject a flask of vessel of any time chilling with your favorite liquid. That's right, coffee, enjoying now for the parallel pleasures and open meetings of the day. The thing that makes well just about everything better: it's called the subtleties and it happens now so good.
Good well, there was a shocker in the Olympics. Last night, the american basketball team lost to France. I'm supposed to feel bad about that right. Everybody here who looked at their story that the american basketball team, I guess a lot. There are twenty five game Olympic of winning streak carrying prior Olympics and snapped at the last days reason: besides, how many people said to themselves Ella? Well, I hate the fact, That I'm ruling against my own country, but I am- I am I'm running against our basketball players because they have they made such fools of themselves with the the other protests and stuff, and by the way I agree with the point.
However, the conflict with what we are trying to do, I'm all on board, but the way they ve done it has so discredited their sport. Them as athletes that I kind of them glad the France Wharton and I'm up. Our role. Should I feel good about that. I don't think I should. On the other hand, it's kind of a healthy that that you're, not obsessed with your own team, willing overtime. This problem, something a little bit healthier that, while the Tokyo Olympics the broadcasters? trying to curb the sexual zation other female athletes apparent in past Olympics. It was as if it is funny to even think that this happened just a few years. Literally the last olympics that they camera,
People would focus on female body parts just deal totally socializing the athletes and I'm thinking to myself. Ok, I get I get that they want to be less. You know on the knows about it plus be serious. Can we be serious? Can we all be serious for a moment. The olympic athletes are literally chosen to be the best mating prospects on the planet. Earth. That's not the point of at the point of it is the the sports etc, but the the effective. It is You pick the most genetically superior people. We have also shown dedication in all these qualities. There are literally the people you most want to have children with. If I were a woman and I could have a child Anybody and you said well about an olympic athlete. Somebody wanted gold medal about that.
You'd probably just say: ok, I'm done searching I'll. Take the Olympic Gold Medal, winning person s going to be some pretty good genes. They ve all been tested right. I mean test its reports, so how in the world can you do sexual eyes. An event where all the most sexually desirable people from remaining perspective, not from a purely recreational point of view, but your most Basic mating instinct is set on fire when you see the most perfect humans, that's how it works. You can't think the biology out of it who in the world can look at the most perfect specimens all within this year, this reproductive age and have no effect I mean really. If you can look at olympic athletes have not got a boner good for you.
Not sure I've ever done it just adding exaggerated globe it. Of course, here's the fake news of the day you ready for the fake news present by the new spending more than two billion to halt border wall construction fairly, ass, the three million every day to hire contractors to guard the steel and coal Greece has a lot of use, does he's not gonna build a wall? the real news or is that the famous? What do you think? Do you think violence is really spending two billion dollars to halt the construction of the wall?. It's true news: that's fake, Worse kind is probably I'm guessing is probably completely true statement of fact, but is also fake news,
why everything you shut down costs money, that's it any project! You shut down, cos you extra money for the shutdown. For all the normal things, exactly what you would imagine you ve got contracts may be asked to pay people love you got a guard? Your assets, you ve got to get rid of whom you gotta move stuff is expensive. So Should you think about the fact that violence is gonna? Spend two billion to avoid its spending what another twenty five billion. Unfortunately, unfortunately, That's how it works so too, Porthos, as some kind of like bad news worries due in the wrong thing. Now, the story is, he believed he halted. The wall. One once you say the story, is we ve halted? The wall skimming caution, two billion dollars just to stop it. So pretending that there's something wrong here when the damage I would say others worth due value
He says the monies already approved, but that's irrelevant. You can under prove money. What exactly is the cove and strategy for the country to remember was the year ago or plus you're in Africa. Where the strategy we thought was due: flattened the girl now flooding the curve didn't work, as we all can observe. What was it a reasonable strategy to give it a test? I say yes, I would say that the flattened the curve was number one. A very clear statement of intent plus was very clear: it was a gas because we, the pandemic and we didn't know exactly what was going to work, but it was a logical thing to try. It didn't work, but was it reasonable to try absolutely see if it did work? We didn't know what else to do so
What is our strategy now now that our strategy didn't work? It look like the strategy is to get to ninety percent vaccination and call it a day. But I feel like that There's just one off from where it needs to be, I feel like the strategy, should be to get every, infected, but after vaccination. Because we know that that vaccination doesn't stop the spread and I think we also know that everybody is Google infected, but you don't want to get the long all the bad version and I from the virus so the very best the situation would be to get lots of already vaccinated people, also, in fact, and to get maybe children infected if it's their better off thy way. Others controversy about that, but they might be better off just give them.
The real corona virus protection, and maybe the next one does not have this much so I just put that out there that I believe that the government's strategy is not articulated but under the trumpet administration, the the flattened the curve, I think, was well articulated You knew exactly what that was unjust. Just didn't work, good, try, smart, try! It just didn't work. I would take no credit away from any We tried something reasonable discuss. It didn't work out, Rasmussen is reporting they didn't pull on the media reporting uncovered. Nineteen and ass. This question: do you think the media reporting accurately on safety of effectiveness covered nineteen vaccines, fifty percent of Republicans and now what fifty percent fifty percent
Republicans said the news is basically lying on vaccines. No surprise right because the figures, But this is a scientific thing or should be as opposed to a political thing. We expect the news to lie to you on political things. That's just are daily experience, but on science, You really expect the news the lie to you on sites will have a republican say. Yes, They even twenty six percent of Democrats say that the media is doing a good job on reporting on vaccines. So I asked this question and social media said. I wonder if the reason that people don't trust vaccinations is that the people promoting the vaccinations The four least credible entities in the United States, who is low.
Credible the number one our government, nobody just the government- I mean I'm sure, that's true in every country right about the news, the faint news industry. You can't trust the news. The news absolutely cannot be trusted. We don't have many alternatives, but he deadly catch us lose it lay. Have you been awake for the last two years? I should be obvious about the social media companies that are deciding what message. Just get out and which ones are suppressed. Can you trust them now? Now you get Yes now like their scientists for the fruit in the first place and number four, scientists themselves. Can we trust science. While fifty percent peer reviewed studies and are being bullshit, fifty percent
and even the things that science gets right, which has lots of stuff science is a miracle and we all love science, but even when it gets something right is the exception. Most things are bad hypotheses theories that don't work out tests, the don't quite prove what you wanted them to prove. Sizes pray messy stuff? So should you trusted well, you can certainly trust that is a good process and a good system. Elsewhere, but what you can't trust is that you know I gotta right at any moment in time, because science will conclude things find out the wrong and then change their mind, which is it supposed to do all right. I'm looking at a very funny beam on locals right now, if you're, if you watching the stream on the locals platform,
The comments have images, as opposed to you to bring you just do text and they said they show you beam of me doing oppression of one of the Democrats on the Texas Bus, the ones who escaped his prey. Hilarious. You have to trust me anyway. How aren't you should you be surprised that there are so many people don't want to take a vaccination when the people tell you did. Are our government, the fake news, industry, social media companies and scientists who, having done so well lately in terms of credibility,. Science is still grape. Science is still great were not anti sides. It's just that it's a messy process and everybody understands that now. So, let's, what's Take this is our major theme, the credibility of our institutions, to talk about this and other stories.
Nancy Blowsy just put Adam Kensington on the January six committee. Now, if you don't follow politics, that doesn't mean much to you just said yourself, a committee to look into the January six riots at the capitol, and you want some Democrats and you want some Republicans to make it by partisan, and so suppose you put a republic of other. If you didn't know anything about the back. Stories I allow, looks pretty good GSM Republicans. You got some Democrats here. You're all sat right. There is literally nobody in the Republican Party who was less credible on this question, that Adam KIDS, eager literally Nancy policy reached into the void of a three hundred million Americans and the one least credible person on the specific specific question.
This is a troublemaker these making his brand as being anti Trump and talking about this issue, in particular is literally the law, flocking person you'd want to put on the committee if you're even a little bit serious. Is the last person you put on them. But of course She's responded, Mccarthy, you pulled all of his five Germany's off because they like to vote because there were two political and then she goes was the most political person on their that you possibly put other She even try is even trying to be credible this Even show like a little bit of effort however, here at all to be credible, so what Do you think that policy is complaining about people not believe in the government that they should take vaccinations? Cautious?
Does she not realise this is the source of the lack of credibility or one of the biggest ones? You can have it waves. You can't do ridiculously non credible things and then ask people upon a needle, and there are no. No the person who puts Adam Kensington, the January says committee: he had tell you a few: the thing about your health? Can we get that clear? anybody, who would be this ridiculous to put Adam kids? go on this committee completely non credible thing to do and that the dumb ass. Let's go! Tell you what to do with your health. I'm sorry. You have to be a little bit a little bit credible just a little bit before we're gonna, listen to your bullshit. I'm not tell you not to give vaccinations by the way so
It was a little thread that I found so interesting that I wanted to share it to you, then. Some of you know I've had some back and forth with a twitter user, named anomaly? Were legendary energy? Is twitter and is I guess, you'd put him? I don't like to label people if they don't label himself. But for the purpose of this story, let's say a sceptic of some of the covert related vaccines mask so apparent in the sceptic category. I'm not sure if you label himself that way, but just for the story, and he said that. We are talking about the vaccinations and why there's hesitancy he suggests is not because of their credibility. The people recommending it, but he says- most people are smart enough to do the research on how the companies manufacturing have zero liability for side effects while they quietly take there.
Products off the market for cancer, causing carcinogens and settled big case. As for fraud, foreign bribery and false marketing, so the implication here is that you can do your own research and then, when you did, that you'd be all sat. You'd make a reasonable, decision, how many of you would agree with the basic the basic set up? I'm really would you agree you could do your own research and come to a reasonable galloping. I'm saying in the comments it's true. Yes, I know. All of that somebody says over locals where people are much better informed there. Almost all saying now so go old dichotomy here, the people alone, those who have been watching my content war probably more likely to say now. You can't do that and the people on up now and you to most people are saying now
so it looks like we're closer to agreement now, just watch the commons go by right. Thank you. So the people watching me I've gotten the message and what I was by the two was zero people, are smart enough to do that kind of research. Now, do you notice the persuasion? Do you think that. Zero people in the whole world can do this kind of research. This is sort of like an old reclaim right. That's what gets your attention because I thought hard about egg. Almost nobody could do this research and then I thought now nobody can like literally mobile. Again there are people that you think. Can but you don't know you may saviours of yeah person with certain qualifications, could only do their own research and come to a good decision. Now they can now they care. Because the things your need research don't exist. You would be looking at unknowns, so how You compare
one set of unknown to another set of announced, the unknown risk. That is what's that. SK of long covered for you, you don't know what The risk of getting the vaccination if it's the Pfizer verses Madonna J, J. You don't really well, I mean I know some statistics, but it doesnt have doesn't apply to you right everything that you can look up, doesn't quite work as a statistical doesn't apply to you, you just be guess it so and then I got some agreement from some smart people. If you ve used is a good recommendation for twitter follow. Machiavelli's underbelly, so just Google that Machiavelli's underbelly and the tyrannical is at Emma men. Three items underscore Machiavelli and he says aggrieved agreeing with me that zero people can do that.
Maybe adds that Google's very existence gave people the wrong. Impression that they are capable of doing their own research. For whatever reason people don't understand that Google is a product where one of its features is making you feel like you're search was successful Now, when you first hear that it doesn't, Why? Registry to think about it? Just for a moment that Google, wouldn't have a product, like you wouldn't use it. Unless When you used it, you fell successful Dubai that. The nobody would use a Google search engine unless using it, made. You feel you got good results, so they Higher product is designed by its nature. Who make you feel you got good results of that you're, a good research. It is a good insight. I read it and Adam dopamine also on Twitter.
Google search equals confirmation by US generator right when you Google thing How often does it come up with the answer you wanted? The often you think that's a coincidence, do you think that if somebody who is against masks and thought they didn't work, if they did, a Google search on, do masks work while result? Would they get. A skeptic would get results, the same S, don't work. Suppose you believe masks do work, and then you, Google it. What do you think the Google search would tell you we tell you they were you? Why you doubt that try yourself, if you doubt that what I just said is true just drive. If you are a a mask sceptic and you say they don't work, just Google, it and watch how you can prove that Europe and then Somebody who's a mask believer to just separately,
do their own google search and so We tell you if they found what they thought was true watch out Both of you will say, I google that I'm right, Google is a confirmation, biased generator. That's what it does now, if you don't realize that, is doing that. In addition to also give you good information I'm not saying it's all like fake information or something is all real just that you can look into every corner of that Jews and your confirmation by us we'll tell you found what you need. People who don't understand these human rights, a foibles, the way we think in the way we are so easily will buy confirmation by. I would imagine that you can do this thing called research the year on research tell you this example. The time there used to be a local
stock brokerage servants, they used to its main advertisement. You probably sought on tv was that You could do your own research and innovation, all these really wise. Looking regular people, like I'm gonna, do my own research on these stocks. Yeah exemplary, smarter, get a four year degree of marketing, so if I just My own research, I'm gonna know how to invest like Warren Buffett cause. I just look for stuff and I found it. Put it all together with my big brain and then I think our how to research at it invests better. Do you know how many people are capable? do in their own research beating the averages over an extended period of time. None. It's not even the thing you couldn't find one investment expert in the war.
Do tell you. That's a good idea non zero. Let me say it again. There is no financial experts. Who would tell you that you can do your research is not a thing you know who else can do their own research and come up with good individual stock recommendations, the experts there are two categories of people can't do that ever this is not a thing one is people have no experience. The other is the people were the most experienced in the world. Everybody in between is just not a thing. You can't just google up. Some research It's all just a bunch of lies and guesses and probability will how smart enough to do so. Said all of the experts and again all of them would tell you don't do that they tell you just diversify. That's the only thing you can do, which is what I tell you to do.
I am and then anomaly, legendary energy came back at me after I made my comment. These zero people Ella. Well, ok, I dad the attitude to because I feel that was in their logo. The zero people can do their own research. Now, let me say again: zero people live. Only if you think you're the one you think you're the chilly the golden child, the the person in the world who was able to do this thing, but nobody's ever done. Ok, but your problem, It's, not the golden child and you probably can't do magic just like everybody else, so That's what I showed him an article in the Atlantic. Well, First of all, you said. This anomaly, again, legendary energy.
Alex Birds and who knows it is a well known critic, gun best and vaccines and stuff. He's at EL experience and would run circles around you, Scott. You have possibly the most ambitious. Sing takes on the pandemic, and EU banking slightly wrong, not sure, If it's your ego, your fear, your desperation, to justify your decision together inoculated You know you're lying what we say of options it could be. My ego my fear, my desperation to justify my inoculation or it could be my line. Are there any other possibilities they left out or are. We tired of all is just my ego, my fear, my desperation to justify my disease or my line It would be one of those, so what, if I told you about how narcissists respond to being shown their wrong.
They respond when you show the wrong, they attack the messenger, don't they. Where it here is somebody whereas anomaly mentioning what I got wrong, if did mention what I got wrong you nor would be on the list. I think it's the only thing that to be on the list. I believe it's the only thing. The only thing that will be on the list of things. I got wrong. Would be that. I said earlier that the who and the CDC were lying to you and the masks do work and now the top experts of percent of industrialized nations agree with me. How could I be wrong? Absolutely. Some day, could we find out the masks, made things worse or did work at all? Absolutely I keep that possibility completely open, but at the moment Every expert in every Thus realise country agrees with me.
So if I'm wrong, I'm open to that, I'm hoping to good day wrong things where I agreed with the experts before, Would that not? Where did all but. I believe that would be as only example, and yet he sure that Yet all kinds problems with Vexedly. I guess he thinks I'm wrong and vaccinations as well how can I be wrong on vaccinations when my opinion is this, you can't way the risks or the benefits nobody can so I took I took a shot at it based on the fact that I couldn't compare the risks, but the coward I like to call out the fucking idiots when they, when their comments, in this case Tyler Congrats, yours, the coward, Scott Atoms,. Try to justify your opinion. You believe,
but the vaccinations are dangerous right and you think that I got the vaccination because I'm. Our so you believe that I did the more dangerous thing, because I'm afraid that European that. I consciously took the more dangerous path. Forty two because of my cowardice. Are flocking decision either A coward and I'm afraid of the vaccination or not just because system, the coward. I would say that the lowest level of thinking is, as somebody made, the decision to get a vaccination cause or a coward. That is so fucking dumb, like you know it if you were looking at levels of awareness that that would be like your face is in the water in the bottom of the street kind of awareness. But everybody's welcome here. So hang around
Here's some reasons given by another twitter users, waiting lists and said region. Why people might not be getting vaccinated. You said here that talking about the credibility as a people recommending it goes that, and Vaccines are still in the third stage trials. I don't know, that's true that true about just reading, between now cannot zoo pharmaceutical companies directly if adverse reactions, biogas, there's blood clots, thrombosis, gleam bar syndrome and yes, very I received sixty two under some reports of destiny vaccines. So so this is good. This is somebody you said here, a bunch. Risks. They should be considered when you get the vaccination that good thinking so far, that good thinking. El Green says: your arrogance is disgusting and scope
show business L. If, if I didn't have a opinionated take this. You wouldn't be watching it. Let me understand, let me explain how this works is the irritation liberation combat is, if I do show this level of annoying certainty. You wouldn't be addicted to it, maybe not you personally, but see it's Thea, this based on the food that makes you eat it in another spices, really analogy that just makes hurt in your mouth, so don't throw away the the future. The laws of lovers of feature- and I do it intentionally. Because I could easily present myself at a different fashion and then you can watch, so just learn what the showers and then learn what the facts are another through different,
sometimes the show is the shop and you just have to know what the showers and then it won't bother as much. So how do you compare a bunch of rest so on hoodwinked? Is the user that said that the other? the third stage of trials and we can see them and there have been a bad report. Let's say that's all true often soldier bliss ate. It happened you compare those risks which are enumerated where the risk of getting the covered and long haul and dying on ventilator. You can't These are all unknown risks. You couldn't put number, Ireland for the average person and you certain Couldn't put a number on it for yourself.
Somebody says a six twelve thousand that is less than six hundred thousand dead. Well, but again, this not apples and oranges compares. I see what you say. So somebody I local says Scott did his own research took a vaccine, we start talking about how is not an advocate for it. But you don't you understand that a person's Personal arrest is a sovereign topic from advocacy you get that like if one person decides to get an abortion or not get one, as I too. Thank you lay out it out. As my decision about mile become persuasion for you,. Because I will tell you directly, you shouldn't follow my example. I mean you can, but you Because why would I assume that my experience or my risk profiles like yours.
Probably one of the biggest factors, is wanted. As in your head, like you, ever happening, your head, but what she was fear you, what freedom you want. Whether you want to be helpful to other people potentially or not. All of those things are, are a big variables like what your head is doing? possesses and just physical right not managing just your physical health, you're you're, Mangi, your mental health. So how can I make a recommendation that you should or should not be vaccinated when one of the big, variables is a thing: that's only in your head. I can't see it if what your head, if you, if your hand, makes you deathly afraid of one of the options. I'm not afraid of the other for rational reasons. I will tell you do this. We make sure less afraid. If, if you out of here, Oh my case, I didn't have a special fear of the vaccination or,
special fear of the cove and really because the odds of these specifically dying from it or are very low, But the reason that I don't recommend it is because that would be rational. I rather real ethical and moral problem about that. So I can only tell you what I did and I can tell you if it worked or not right. So I got the vaccination and, in my opinion it worked in courts now worked means that made me feel them. So if not getting the vaccination makes, you feel better you have a different decision than me and I don't care. I decide whether please make your own decisions as long as people can get vaccinated war vaccinations can do it. God. All right, so when Alex person was mentioned, as some guess it all right.
Mentioned as someone who got it all wrong. I wondered to myself: I wonder if anybody's DNA data, Old analysis of our experience and to see, if he's more right and wrong have ever done that, have you ever googled Alex parents and And in criticism to see, if there's somebody who is looked at all of his claims and just serve evaluated them seo accurate, there. Israel by you just follows: r l experience, and by has never done that, has never Google to find out if the critics are saying is wrong. Because if you haven't done that, maybe auto baby order. Here's, what happened when I do them one the call that came up was from the Atlantic or not the first time that I look. That was wrong. Vanity, fair.
There was an article in vanity, fair saying that Alex Birds and was basically a critic of vaccines and masks, and what not and that he gets everything wrong. And then I looked for the reasons that I haven't What the fuck is an article about how he got everything wrong without mentioning gotta go wrong So this is making mythic seeking a lot of stuff right. I see you laughing Vanity fair in the in the cabinet. Schools are not really a credible location. But then I looked for another non credible publication because it didn't look like any credible ones were writing about. It called the Atlantic when you consider the Atlantic a credible publication now, no other you consider them, the ball at all, so staff raider Divergent Thomson went through
bunch of claims that are experiencing a debate. Now Www events, the Derek says, here's the claim and how we got a wrong now. What are they I'll do a billion times. If you hear one person making a bunch of claims. What have you learned? Nothing! Nothing if you hear one per making a bunch of claims, no matter what the claims are. You ve learned nothing because the other side. We don't live in a world where people tell you the truth, they give you a biased, you'll, hyperbolic version of something, if you have it on the other side, you have heard anything. It's like exactly like hearing. Nothing so, if you have all heard, Alex Barons and stuff, you ve heard nothing is ever the other side. Likewise, when I tell what the criticisms are against AL experience and you're gonna hear one you're the criticism and you should give it exactly zero credibility, really. Anyway. Just easy, both sides, but don't take sides. Neither the Atlantic nor Alex
nerves and by himself is credible, We don't live in a world where you can say either. One of them is just automatically right, but I'll tell you what the what the criticism is. According to their occur on talking Karlsson, Baroness and predicted that the Actually, we would cause an uptake in cases of covert, waited illness in the? U S, and I guess the claim is that didn't happen. So, first of all, I don't know if that's inaccurate statements of what barons and claimed and other do you probably, and I guess he birds and also claims that We would not reach a half a million deaths and we were well over six hundred thousand, but is at a big brown If somebody said we will reach half a million, but the real number Maybe six or seven hundred thousand that's not a big deal,
like nobody was accurate about the death. I wasn't utterly. Everybody was so. I'd say: ok, that's a fair statement, but that's not really much with criticism, when they say that Baroness Ashton has argued the cloth and surgical mass can't protect against growth, a virus and then eggs to science. The says the mass do work now. What did I just tell you before. If you believe Mass, don't work and you google you'll, find archives, are proof that you right, if you believe they do work and you, Google, it I'd all kinds of science says they do. Try yourself. I've been, if you don't believe, add just try it so, we have to view of this. It will leave that there are, purely burden, according to Derek claimed that
He blames vaccines for suppressing immune systems by and they did that because he misrepresented some immune system behaviour, in other words, those a misinterpretation of how immune systems work, whose right Burdensome or a guy who wrote an article in the Atlantic which one of them is right on this scientific question: why are they both right? Because you can just google and do your own research so since they both googled and they both did their own research, they must both be right right now, but they have opposite opinions. I don't know The birds and suggested that there are countries such as Israel have suffered from the early vaccine roll out and Derek suggested that the deaths have plummeted in the vaccines are successful. I Israel's having some problems now, I'm not sure we have full visibility on that, but that may have changed since this article.
And bears implies that for non seniors, the side effects of the vaccine are worse than the covered itself. Derek points out that threatens the CDC the pandemic is killed. Tens of thousands of people under fifty and the vaccines have not conclusively killed anybody conclusively. They haven't conclusively killed anybody well you're dead, but not conclusively learn vaccine now. I feel that this is a responsible statement, because it isn't conclusive. I mean I don't even know how you'd know exactly what I do. There you can conclusively say the vaccines and general do kill people You're. Almost every new medication of any consequence kill somebody. So it's probably do we just don't
So bears and claim, and country after country cases rise after vaccination. Do you think that's true? Did he first? Nor did he claimed that other enough claim that And I guess on Twitter, they want their talk to Baron seminars and claim that Denmark Study An excellent Denmark study shows is forty percent rise in infections. Immediately after nursing, home residents got the first shots, and so the The writer of the article reached out to the author of that study reference study, asked the study, said other birds at Miss Characterized, your findings. Ok,. And other claim that the The vaccines are their own, it proves, that they don't work and accordingly
The author of the reality is that you just miss characterize the trial data so the claim is that Baroness Ashton, who read. From Yale is a published author of great success. And role for the New York Times for years. So we're talking about a very smart educated person, the claim so he's not educated enough to look at the do his own research. Basically, Does he did his own? Research really did wrong according to the claim. Burns enslavement, Israel, the shots are causing a scary number deaths does hospitalizations reality. According to the authors, that's happening. So what so anything do you? I agree with the Yale Educated acts near times report Peter, who unambiguously is very smart, we'd all agree with that right there there's nothin, there's nothing wrong. With Alice barons I q is
Smart, educated well informed guy. Do you think he's capable with all of those qualifications of do in his own research? I would say, obviously, no obviously, though because the people who did the research say you misinterpreted or reserve, I mean they're sprinkler. Here's the scariest story. I'm going to say is probably fake news, so before I tell you the story and you get all worried about it. Maybe should worry about it, but I'm going to tell you it smells like fake news like really hard, so keep an open mind on this one, but anyway there was a study. They showed that if you ve got overnight
teen, especially if you get bad version of it, where you get an event later and then survive, I don't have a people that is, but your iq could drop seven points on average only shit. You know you ve heard about the brain fog and the long overhead and can maybe make your brain swell or something I don't know what else to into your organs, but. Scientist us at any one thousand people between the ages, They were in December last year. This is in great Britain. And then they gave them like. You tell us that there are people who recovered Mikey Dust, and there was a big difference, is a big difference. I just store. Somebody says I just saw their story. I call BS are why The baby s number one.
Many studies that are peer, reviewed, end up being bullshit, just inject about half about half of all studies. End up being wrong, so you ve got a fifty percent. Chance is wrong, before even looked at the topic right get the agreed that that a fifty percent chance is wrong before you looked at it, but then, let's look at it jubilee, is that they got the causation right. Do you believe that it was a virus? The bay these people got extra? It was a virus, the made them dumber or was it the dumb people are more likely to have a bad outcome with the virus. What do you think they did, control for factors? Flooding age, sex first language and education, level, gay, but
then, within a given education level, there are people were much smarter and upper right So even if you have control for the education level, Stella Really big range at least seven point IQ range within any educational level, with a view to agree with that. So. I have a speculation that people you're, smarter, are better at everything. Would you agree with that that on average, just on average, the people who are smarter, a better everything all all other things being equal would would you with the basic basic assumption more smarter in general, or better everything in general. Every person in every situation I just mean on average. Now, if that's true.
Would it be a stretch to say that this murder people are gonna, have better outcomes with grown virus? Yes, m he's not dispatch You think that a smarter people were more likely to take vitamin d, maybe right think too smart people got a little extra exercise, gossip son during the pandemic. Maybe the smart. People stayed out of the room, they had a whole, your people and that without masks for a long time, maybe right, You can, you can imagine a whole sure decisions there All of us are making every day in the pandemic. Do I go to that place without my mask? Do I put on a new mask? Do I get the backs of all kinds of stuff and could imagine very easily the being smart improves your odds of just everything.
So I would call a bullshit on the study discuss. Both studies are bullshit and secondly, because I do not think that the causation right, but just then question. No, that would be another example. Let's say you did your own research. You did your own research and then you saw the study. What do you do with it? because you did your own resource right, anomaly, legendary energy, and you saw what you do that with your own research. Did you say that all incorporate this into my thinking or not incorporated, which ones right not so easy to do? Your own research There's an update on the big lie. You know CNN, and the left, leaning, Anti Trump media came up with this great, around. The big lie to refer to Trump, saying that the election was stolen, Trump, of course, flipped it around, as as you knew he was gonna. Do And says the big lie is that the election was there
this caused stuffing Collinson the designated CNN Anti Trump troll to have two? Another article another article today in which he mentions the fact that Europe is trying to flip around and turned the bay Why into something else? To which I say more, you talk about it, the more you talk about. It
It works so apparently tromp has at least scared CNN enough. Then he can pull this off the flip through of turning the big lie into the of the opposite of what they're using before. Just like you didn't with eight news, and they should be worried because he does have the skill to do. This has still has enough alone audience there. He could eager totally make this transition and that I wouldn't be surprised if it happens. That is what I want to talk about, and I know you ve got all problems is mask talk, etc. I get that, but I'm actually surprised a whole. How often there's a new angle on, because when I, when I talk about action
the vaccines, I'm really talk about the human decision making process, I'm not really talking about whether the vaccine works. I don't know how the hell would. I know I'm not talking about whether bass definitely work or not. It will find out someday. Maybe maybe not, I don't know seems like they work to me, but I could be wrong and I would further say that if you talk to anybody who shows positivity about vaccines or bass grown virus. Any any amount of certainty is a guarantee tell for somebody who is not thinking. If you're thinking about this pandemic at all you're you're thinking probability cause, we ve all been wrong. Right, haven't we all been wrong about really basic stuff, so your locals is working very well today, even amateur
somebody somebody's mentioning one of my favorite twitter follows so EVA totally is just great ripping apart data and and studies. But I would say that, no matter how good you are you're, you just give you kidding yourself. If you can do your own research and stuff like this. Amazon has no cheaper, cheap rapid tests for recovered. Why question: why does Amazon not of a whole bunch of cheap, maybe not as accurate but cheap task as if their cheap enough? They work anyway,. All right a sulphur now, and I will talk to you: do tomorrow,.
