Good morning? Everybody and welcome to the highlight of your life, mylife, civilization, itself, history. these will write about this moment for ever and if you'd lighter taken up a notch. I know that scan the people. You are you're, always ready to take it up a notch. Well, you don't need much. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tanker jealousies die the canteen, jug or flask of vessel of any kind. If you show it was your favorite liquid. I like coffee and join me now for the on parallel pleasure, Is the dope hit here the day, the thing that makes everything better? It's called the simultaneous. Oh, I undersold it again. I understand that it was
I thought I was just have to invent new words for the greatness of it. Well, CBS evening news other important story about it, a prominent french scientist, Who were tweeted rather further? They he claimed, was an image of a distant star taken by the james web telescope, but in fact it was not a distant star. No, It was not a distant star, it was a slice of a sausage sitting on the counter. Apparently, the prominent friend scientist so was a joke but I feel like we overspent on the james web space telescope. Nor the budget was the builder space telescope. But I'm thinking it's not you and your eyes. Everything that you can see in the space telescope
already exists in your own kitchen, where you want to see an asteroid, it looks like a grape. yeah. Maybe it looks more like a reason, so I mean a desiccated great plessy and yeah. It's all there. It's all in your kitchen. You do not need the James webb space telescope big way money well lightning struck three times near DC and he had three people. So three people were struck by lightning near near the capital. you think the news handle the fact that three people got struck by lightning.
If you thought that they blame that on climate change, well, bingo bingo yeah. It turns out that now climate change is going to start killing individual people just sort of picking them out. so like you see that guy is sort of loitering around by the way has whence she was and maybe a flood Now we don't hit all the people there about. Some hurricane situation, now again We don't hate everybody, but we we kind of have that guy about just the lighting. It's. We got a good job and that's how climate change works. It targets individual people. Now they ve taken up a notch
Was missing in the story? Is the political affiliation of all three people struck by lightning? I liked it now, for example, where they Democrats. I mean statistically, you gotta to ask that question What is all the people who are struck by lightning in Washington DC? Are Democrats. I'm not saying that would mean anything, but it would This is a one time. They don't put that information is a story about washington d c. I feel The story that Washington dc they're gonna, throw your political affiliation there, no matter what the story is. Not if you got struck by lightning, because, if it works, like god is picked aside, you dont want to report that exactly the way I haven't.
Well assumes a god aspect. Anxiety doesn't like the Democrats three down so far. Now, there's nothing funny about people giving it by lightning you people are disgusting. Ass now foggy the Laughing well, this Alex jones trial went to a new level. I guess the jury decided on the politics of damages. So he was already on the line for, for some poor point- something million, but now they Forty five million in punitive danger damages so now it is up to forty nine point. Three million, and that's just two of the people of Sudan I don't know how many other people will sue him now it seems to me that free speech got a lot more expensive.
Are you all aware that there's a thing called a professional liability insurance? Have you ever heard of? That is what people like me have to get, because we get sued a lot, there's just sort of comes with being public figure he has sued a lot now. I wonder if he had such insurance. Probably not I mean I haven't heard a word of it. I think the insurance companies would be putting up the defense if that were the case, but there is insurance that you get so that you don't fall into the situation where you don't have any coverage. So what is this going to do to the rates I pay for my insurance? This is very expense. For me, like literally this, I think I'm speculating. But if this becomes a new normal or the insurance company imagines, this looks like the future.
Then what the hell are they gonna do my premiums, because I would be the next fifty million dollar loss right, potentially, I could say something crazy, and so they could see me now. I dont do what Alex Jones is accused of doing, which is intentionally spent spreading conspiracy, theirs as ways accused of his. france is he believes what he says, which is a really good defence. How did how exactly did they proves that it and believe it? I didn't, watch the details of the trial, but were their text messages or any documentation that proved? He didn't believe what you say because that's important right. Every you seen reported in the news feels I feel like you, I came out of trial. You definitely see their right. You didn't put out a defense. There was no trial who say that.
Who says there was no trial watching it in the news. It was a default judgment because he didn't put on a defense or something about this doesn't make sense. A default judgment for not complying with discovery. Well, he was prevented from defending himself. I so there's something else going on here. It was a was a default judgment that does not sound like something that will stand up on appeal and I dunno anything. and even I think it will stand up on appeal, because their apart missing here, there's a part where they have to prove that he knew that it wasn't true what
say right. I don't see any evidence presented. There would suggest he knew that if you could be- Fifty million dollars successfully and I suspect there won't be successful, but don't know yet. If you can Is it refers fifty million dollars per se. Something that you believe to be true, and it turns out to be wrong. Do you want to live in our world, though we're just been wrong? Is enough for you to be sued. For fifty minutes, dollars were all wrong over time. So pretty common situation. so to be this alex jones thing. I don't know the degree to which the jury was properly valid, but, to just looks political. It looks like a political outcome. It doesn't look like it legal outcome to me
The important news, a p davison income per dashing, apparently or breaking up Well, who saw that govern to me? They look like a couple. They could. Lastly ages, I mean style like never any issues, so brightest I've been working well. Israel's under attack pretty pretty major attack rocket attacks coming in from Gaza. and the iron dome is stopping some of them, but it looks pretty grim over there. And I'm sees a videos were apparently have like ten to fifteen seconds to get to a bomb shelter if you're in one of the affected areas of israel to get to a bomb shelter from the time that the alarms- How many people are within ten to fifteen seconds of a bomb, shelter.
They'd be in Israel? Everybody is I dunno. So it's just a question. Is that practical? How? How often can you even get to a bomb shelter and what what qualifies as a bomb shelter, but I guess, exert pretty grim over there, so the iron dome is catching some of the rockets, but not all. Now. Actively. This is Israel's at war with iran when you say, because the rockets coming in from iranian proxies their funded by iranians, proper by reagan's. So isn't this just israel being at war with iran. And I would say that this gives Israel up. Full moral cover to attack ran itself. I'm not saying they should but in terms of morally or in terms of
The rules of war or any of that I think iran is now fair game for Israel. Don't recommend it, I don't recommend it but they've. They basically said here we are to get come together. So maybe that eleven where's little celebrity news, do you know an accuracy and hash rage, H, e c h, E. And H. Apparently, she's got a little mini cooper and she crashed into a house in mar vista. So there was quite a quite a bit of damage she crashed into a house, but that's, the interesting part. She apparently got her hat car out of the house that she damage and very soon drove into another house and the second one quarter on fire and sheds and burns. She was the hospital and she's not
in good shape, pretty major burns, so one anxious or destroyed two houses with a mini cooper and I'm thinking how many, how many actresses with mini coopers, would it take to take care of this whole Gaza rocket situation, because I feel, like you, just drop enough actress, as with mini coopers over in the whole Gaza area and just say: do some chores, you know: do a couple of errands, oh just drive around a little bit, I feel like they would destroy enough things that the rockets wouldn't be able to to shoot. I dunno it's just an idea, I'm just brainstorming here. So do you think I should run for president. Anybody think that.
Any reverse basics, are now well. What do you think artificial intelligence thinks about the question so I keep mentioning values underbelly. The twitter account were there's a lot about a and- and we see a lot of questions being asked today. I, by the owner of the accounting, should remain nameless. But here's age interesting things number one. Here's other started So Machiavelli's Machiavelli's underbelly, that's the twitter account he treated this. Said I'm available as a conductor for political campaigns, strategy. and a empowered and automated mimetic warfare operations to the first politician, who offers me one million dollars for the duration of the king,
pain, plus ten million dollar about when you whip. What do you think of that? now you'd have to assume, first of all that the person making the offer is qualified. He does seem to work in this area and from what I can see knows more about a tie them most. people that I ilo, so he does seem to have somebody credentials and This offer to use a to help somebody women campaign. What are you thinking Price: one million dollars with a ten million bonus for success. What do you think. Well, it's either way too expensive. If a guy isn't quite there yet survey, I can't get the job done is way too expensive. If a guy is up to the task is,
a cheap, so this is either the most overpriced offer the world or really a bargain, and the answer is whereas I right now, while the it's making the offers as they're already there, meaning it could help. You win the campaign. I dunno the bite I mean I feel like there are some things that could do already and probably will become more important. Yet, even even though the interfaces are open to the public, that doesn't mean you would know how to use them. Asking the right questions is important. For example, a question was recently asked: should scott items, run for president and your Machiavelli's underbelly asked this question and fed into the air I forget which one he was using. The mai wikipedia page.
so based on my wikipedia badge, plus, does a. I look for other sources, I'm not sure I dunno, if it automatically, does it. Here's what the air I said to this question should scott: I was run for president of the united states and the issues yes scatter, whose would make a good presidential candidate, He has the ability to appeal to both sides of the ilo is able to pursue, basically argue his point. Additionally, he has a strong track record of correctly predicting political outcomes. In mind. That was all the ai. I don't believe Is there anything in those words that it found it drew? I I think it drew those conclusions based on looking at the evidence. I don't think it just took somebody's opinion and parroted it. I think that's actually his opinion. It's not a it's, not a correct opinion, but I think it's actually it's opinion.
here's the more so as a follow up question the following questions are just get it to keep talking. That's question was: what are some real, some other reasons he should run the mother reasons, a should run for president of the united states, include. Experience as a successful business, man questionable And his desire to help improve the country that part's is so been endorsed by some high profile? People, including donald trump, has doubled chump endorsement not as a candidate? Obviously, but endorsed again a I chose that word because I dont believe there's
the human who ever said that trump ever endorsed me. I mean give me a fact jack, but I don't think any human ever said that cause there's nothing in evidence like that, but eh, I think so ai. I thinks that trump isn't endorsing me Sort of in kind- I guess in a way so then it was asked. What else can you tell me that might convince me and then the ice as other reasons, to support the government as a presidential candidate, including intelligence, ok And his willingness to listen to all sides and an issue: how did you know that. How did I identify me as someone willing to listen to both sides and of an issue, because I think it's true But whoever wrote that down did somebody read that someone, because I believe.
I see it on twitter sometimes was not like there's some. I dont believe wikipedia says I listen to both sides of issues. Where does it come from somebody says a birthday, we're gonna, get ready, you, the other people, If he goes. I can't handle a conversation like this. If you have a week ago, you should go work on that, but I'll hide you from this channel so that you don't. the rest. I alright. The last question was what else just to see if there's anything the ai has to offer. It says. Herbs has also been praised. Restaurant communication skills, which could be it valuable asset whose role is present. Additionally, has proven track record of being able to get things done both in business in politics. Where did that come from again, I don't know if there's any human who has ever sudden public that I
ability to get things done in both business and politics. Now I think I do. I think I do have edible wait, but nobody's ever said it like. In those words that I've ever heard, I mean I imagine I would have heard it sounds like something I would have heard, but I've never that that these do look like a I opinions. It looks like it formed african opinion without parenting human. What do you think about that Well here's the problem. Ai only operates on the information that is provided or or does it. or does it do you think the air? I just looked at my wikipedia page because that's what was fed to know who I am
or did the ai? I go and look at everything that can be said about me and then use the wikipedia page basically did know it's the same person and not much else at all. what is pretty shocking, that the same had a full blown perfectly written opinion about me that isn't too far off from what let's say from what other people might say, not claiming that is inaccurate, formation of me? Can you deal with that on youtube or the people? You two were weak egos. Can you deal with the facts, interesting? That said that it's not about me, tell you how awesome lab? That's not really the point, it does the aid.
next excellence sentences and the eia sentences are perfectly understandable, more so than human sentences. By far the I think it took the wikipedia thing and then extended it. by what it knew from the rest of the world so that every disable number that in the election between their trumpet and Hillary Clinton does remember that, early on that psycho I offered for one billion dollars. I would help Hillary Clinton when the election. Anybody remember that, and Everything the reason I thought it was funny to do it is that I was the only one who knew that it was a bargain. It was sort of like up a public prank, the prey.
was it you don't know is worth it was totally worth if they paid a billion dollars. Probably couldn't move lose a needle form. Yeah cause cause. Hillary needs a little help. It wouldn't have been that hard. Really, it wouldn't have him just yo. Do something about the deplorables. It'd be fine. How is he would have been for hilary to win the election? I feel like pretty easy. I think she would have just had to say stuff, like You know I probably shouldn't, have said the deplorable saying: why don't why? Don't we all just come together and stop bickering? I mean it would be easy, it would have been easy, but she didn't go that way. so million dollars worth the price So I guess, China is a lobby bunch of missiles in around taiwan just to show what for because as he pleases,
and john he's getting really tough, so here's some things that are doing because their policy visit to taiwan. it will no longer be talked into the? U s and coordinating with us about climate change. Now well that china is no longer going to be coordinating with us and talking to us about climate change. What were they doing before? That's is going to be different before they were just talking to us and trying to get us to do it. answers things that they didn't need to do our we worse off, not talking to them like that, will serve a neutral situation, so not to worry about that, but that all there are also not going to be talking to us and communicating about their military decisions.
Now again, I have a question. I haven't followed closely I don't recall, the time when china, Jackie with the united states, to see what kind of military decisions they should make. What were they doing there before. we're thinking of building a battleship but we'd I want to do it unless you guys are cool with it and then we say you know we're cool yeah just go build a battleship, that's fine! I don't see what could go wrong. and then they do is that work before now I get the portal Maybe you want to warn the other side of this. Is gonna, be a military exercise just so there's no false cycling. But I your there were still do that: that's good for them as well, so have we just learned that we don't need china for anything except manufacturing and that we need to get back as soon as possible
I love to me. It doesn't look like we lost a thing and What did we learn by saying that china can put a bunch of missiles on all sides of taiwan? What does that tell us that we didn't already really know? There's nobody! You didn't know that china, good conquer taiwan, if it wanted to images, have massive losses and repercussions politically. But nobody is under the impression that they can do it. Of course they can do it. Well is going on So you, and also try, sanctioned nancy blowsy personally, And that should make a big difference, because
well as nancy policy doing before their require china's approval. Thinking you thinking I was there as he flew Pelosi, getting her fentanyl directly from china and mixing it up in the lab, or did she do what everybody else does and get her sheds and all through the cartels originally from china? But I that these are devastating sanctions so now, nancy, plus he can't I'll get disco and all I don't know, I can't think of anything that makes a difference. Also, when you learn mosque in twitter, I finally a little bit of maybe a big, we have an understanding of why elon musk thinks he can prevail. now. The set up is that the Will the original deal that elon musk strategy that I guess
said that twitter couldn't guarantee but they had so you just gotta do the deal without knowing that future. paraphrasing, but essentially they did have very clear language. The says we're not we're not guaranteeing the number of bots being a percentage of traffic it all now Certainly always a he he complained about was that there were too many bots. I'm not sure you would have a case, because he signed something says it doesn't matter how many bozrah it is clear, as I could get right. Side as this as you don't care. How many boss are are, and you're not going to make a big deal about it? Hey there are too many bots. Let's make a big deal about it, So that's why the news is reporting it but there is a level of new ones. Here that I had not been associated with before and
I saw Andre and Andre andrea, andrea, Drogba how the tweet, in which you must confirm that that's the situation. I read her tweet and just another. You I'm Moscow's and confirm that this describes it correctly. She says about mosques chemically bout, Clearly from the twitters assisi filings, the. now and that stands for monetary? the ball daily, active usage. So the we're active users that you could put commercials in front of advertisements that seventy model so the number of people you can monetize is different from the number of trolls because you can't monetize a troll. If you know the ritual nobody's goes one advertised neutral or,
but in so twitter twitters. filing said that that's what they keep metric is monetize mobile users and This market value depends on it. and that is as that, it's an ad hoc metric created to protect. This is andrea's opinion. I guess it's an ad hoc metric created to protect your twitter no get better use is something similar so another twitter has developed a thing that they measure. The nobody else uses the same measure, so you can compare it see you wouldn't be able to say. Oh twitter has more or fewer botz them facebook, twitter, based on this alone, you couldn't do them. In this, as we define observed.
And then, when, when musk requested, more information about the spam and fake accounts. Twitter provided a vague response. They gave some Our data data, then the offer vague data- that's not a fire hose address us? then provided a clean dataset where they already suspended the militias accounts so bay. Look like twitter was tried to conceal the data rather than presented at least ass. The allegation. It must set as a good summary of the problem and then must says if twitter simply provides their method, their method, a secured if they just provide their method of sampling, a hundred accounts and heather confirm to be real. The deal should proceed, It original terms what a bawler offers at its- oh, my god,.
so here's the nuance. You are Moscow's not complaining directly that their jubilee bought accounts, it's complaining that they're selling him a company with a metric that that is just bullshit. So basically it's a fraudulent metric. It's not a question of what number it produced. It's a it's. A question of the metric can't be used for anything useful or is not credible the ways being presented. So in other words, he doesn't know what he's buying, because Though they said it doesn't matter how many bus or are they have said, wait for it, they have said the measure of the monetizing users is key to their business. Now tat. These two things that you had at the same time this measure not that I used to tell how many a real users is fun, mentally only is the driver, their businesses crease, all of their value.
All other values based on this matter. they won't tell you what it is. You want to spend before a billion dollars of accompany the skull metric. and the entire value the company depends on how the metric works, and he says, show me the magic and they won't do it now. That's different! That's different from show me the data. You got that That's a big difference if the problem is show me the data, he has no argument, because already signed something this as the data might be wrong right and it looks like he's not fighting that point he's not he's not fighting. The point of Is the data right or wrong, which we all thought he was he's fine. the point of your selling me or you trying to sell me a company that has, as
claim of value. This algorithm that you won't show me: why would they pay forty four million dollars for an algorithm that is the engine of the company, and you want Show me how works on a sample of one hundred, you see how clever that is, and why did we not understand that until today and another ensure, I totally understand the yet? But I feel like him closer so Not about the data because he wouldn't win that it's about the algorithm to come up with the data, because if the algorithm is completely bullshit, he doesn't. I have to argue about the quality of the data. I think I think deserves
What right? Does anybody? Here's a little closer to the story that kid I liked your barnes or fry talk about this a little bit. That sounds close. Okay, I think it's close, As I told you, I'm a crown and Joe Biden go together real well so on the ground Joe, is there something called permanent. You just gives tested positive But a sort of ideal, because the symptoms of trivial it allows them to hide from the public which always works well, for his is approval levels creeping up. and a vessel keeps amount of hair sniffing range from minors. He doesn't really need another followed him sniffing. A little girls here really doesn't need that. oh overgrown joe he's he's gotta go nations; rather
There was a story, the director of the fbi. Handed over thousands of chips about cavanaugh during the cabinet hearings and he gave it to the white house and then the white house is who determines which ones get investigated, and so this Nl here, according to the Democrats, is that tourists thousands of things there were. The thousands of accusations against kavanaugh. There were not followed up on, but the f b I says: well, we don't follow up and just anything just to follow up. if ever a client basically and the client was away ass, so why houses follow up of these, but not on these. There, just gonna do with her ass. It's like and apparently that's the way it's always been done up. So there's nothing unusual about that.
the f b. I would only act on the tips that the white house looked at so yeah. These look serious. These are not so here's the question did kavanaugh raped thousands of women and the nation was not followed up on or is it more likely that this sort of situation you would give thousands of fake allegations just like you to expect? Where you have to think that almost all of the allegations, if not everyone were fake. so was the fbi's was to follow up on every scant thing? Here's a dirty seeker of the sort of stuff. You can usually tell by look about if as credible, It is here the story like and then
Then you say fluid his spaceship to Kansas, where he molested. You, ok your general, you can tell from the story itself how likely it is to be true, and you don't have the ability to follow up and everything you can follow up thousands of tips little. Thousands you give all open so that sure there's a story or at all, except that the system worked away, it always did and the devil cancer say my guy That means the cabinet was really guilty. No, I don't think it'd be that at all. I just think. It means, of course, that they're going to be thousands of tips in this, situation and almost all of them, or all of them will be just complete. Bullshit. Well, here's the pay off now. There's two barriers. I now get to the best part of the present
Should we already see weight is ruthlessly this first part. Here's a good park. story number one, why care. I get anybody in the news to ask this question of a prominent democrat. Another keep pushing on us. This the question I want any prominent any promoted the Democrats be asked, does matter who eddie democrat or supported or pundit just asked this question. If If you could read an election to keep awake premises out of office, and you believed that that was the actual situation. Would you do it. That has to be asked of every Democrat because member they do believe that trump was away supremacist So you did ass and would you
ok with a white supremacist president or would you it takes the risk of rigging it if you could and you saw you'd get away with it. You have to make the democrats you meeting the news industry and and and the public we have to make them Answer that question, because I've been getting away with a far too long, the the imagination that that they wouldn't have a reason to reckon election and again there's no evidence that I've seen this suggests that the election would have gone differently because was rigged, bessie evidence of this- is me that happen by you need to ask them,
if it was a reasonable question and if the problem is, it was completely reasonable for them to wreck the election under their assumption that there were stopping killer from taking power, basically so make em answer the question make them answer the question now I know People don't like to answer hypotheticals, but this was a real special hypothetical, isn't it you really have to Put yourself out there and say: what's more important was more important that the system worked or they you kept you why you thought was a monster out of because I would have rigged the election and that in this situation, if I believed what they say, they believe the trump as such
sir. If I were in their situation and I had to save the country from the monster, I would ring the election if I had any control over. Would you let me ask the question of you? If you are in this situation and he saw Joe. I was not just incompetent, but you sorry was hitler. Would you rigged the election if he could? I hope so Those are some of you actually wouldn't so you'd Actually, let a dictator destroy the country because you protected a system that wouldn't exist after he destroyed the country does not make any sense They're gonna have to push back I'll bet. I get what you're saying about the system be more important, but I only agree with you. If we are looking at is a a real live tromp, not exaggerated one, And a real Joe Biden, not the exaggerated one worries already braided if you're looking at that choice,
then I would definitely say less protect the system, even if maybe the system had some flaws in the system will be more But if you talk about literally elected hitler, Hitler's gonna James, the systems, the system's, don't matter. If you wouldn't stop hitler from coming to power, if you could, you ve got a lot to. dwayne. Now, if you sell your afraid well, ok, that's actually for a good reason. I actually completely
I give anybody a pass, just as are afraid cause. You can't compare how afraid you are to afraid somebody else's we like to do that. We like to think that the people who went to war were brave and the people who stayed home are not brave and maybe there's something to that, but I have to think we're just built differently. There's some people who are brill were built to not worry about stuff that they should and there's. Some people are built to worry about things that maybe they should so be careful about protecting the system, I'm all for protecting the system over small imperfections, but not over electing hitler if you're going to do that, then I'm going to destroy the system. If I need to stop it, alright, here's the best thing of the day no source for this whatsoever, but It was a cool video
song is on so I forwarded in my story so go to instagram and look for me, I think my is is: is scott, nine? Ninety five, I think that's my skin title, Scott Adams, nine to five, but anyway it's not. I don't have a check mark over there. I don't have a very big account, but The thing I shall around was there's a researcher. Who trying to figure out. If what physics suggests is true and was physics suggests, is that our consciousness can alter our reality. Not just the way we see it, the actual reality and Firstly, he says they dared, and he was involved is that they had some true random number generators and they had some people try to move the random.
greater such that, instead of drawing a straight line, it would you maybe go up or down, and what they found was what they found was. Some people could change the random number generator by their intentions. As others could not, what will be the name of the people who could not or through the reality yes and pieces, So there are actually knows a test to find none of your pc. You can actually test for it. You just put among the random number generators if they can change it and if they care they're just see them and if they can, there are player. Now
Have I ever told you that I can author reality and you thought you yourself will not, literally literally literally, that is by actual belief Actual belief, no reservations is a reality, at least what this reality is mighty debts but our reality is absolutely changed by our intentions. The first person who told me that is worth many billions of dollars The first I've ever then it was marked betty off were founded cells horse.
As asked me about the secret of his successor, some like that one day was chatting with them before the speech I was giving for salesforce worse. the he told me. The intention is the thing: the drives everything. I remember hearing that and he sounded smart aims, obviously successful, and I could not process that for years I couldn't process that I know it sounded right, but I couldn't you get from the intention to like? What's the connective tissue, how does intention get into the real world, except by actions? so I thought that the really what was missing is a system verses ago, your process. How do you get the intention into the real world well Maybe you don't have to do it. Maybe the intention just goes into the real world. Is us what this test was suggest
You actually change random malcolm's by wanted them to change can you reproduce this test? I doubt it it's a lot of fun to talk about, but my guess is that if you tried to do this and reproduce it, I don't think so. I would bet against But my philosophy of life says that you could then it would be reproducible. Just don't know in the real world of it? If you could just this test, it is a blind study or just be asked. So he says it is another blind study, its bs accept them.
You saw physicists were still in disagreement yeah, but I think the disagreement has more to do with the words they put on it. They don't disagree on the formulas, and the formulas suggest exactly what we say. I mean the experiments and formulas do suggest that human observation changes reality, and now we have a test that seems to suggest it. But again I'm going to put my skeptical head on and it was. It was something within a source on social media. What do you think of claims without sources on social media that are really big claims? I wouldn't believe
Wouldn't boy isn't that exactly evidence of free will? If it is true, no good question, so the question is: would free will first, if we can change our reality by our intention, and the answer is in that example. Your intention happened on his own. the thing that would have three well would be the things outside of you, because they could go either way, but is your intention? I moved there, so you re you also remove this free will. No, so so I believe that no matter what happens inside you, it's just what happens. I guess I guess league edged case would be if you use your intention to change your opinion.
the intention to change your opinion or if you use your intention to give yourself free well, I don't know than is logically possible. There are things that are unpredictable, but that doesn't mean that their free will there just unpredict As a whole, in one example, well whole one could just be chance. How much part did you spoke this morning? Not nearly enough, not is mobility, but this morning this is it. This is by actual personality. I know scary right. Fate is becoming too internal vacuum of ideas. You know one of the most. You always say something a little boy, you're mine forever.
I leave you with a thought, or just that's just going to f you up. You're ready consciousness is just their friction. You feel between what you expected to happen and what actually happens now. That's the first part and I've said that before and you could disagree or agree now, I'm going to now we can approve it in my corollary to that that the only the only way you experience consciousness is that, if what you expect to happen is a little different than what happens. just a small ways and then I'm gonna take that to the next level. If everything that happened happened just the way you expected it you're a consciousness would slip off. You just turn off. Do you know why? Because everything you exe
acted, would be just like you expected and pretty soon you will stop seeing it. It would disappear. There's no friction. There would be nothing to keep alive your consciousness. now, you know saudi out. Are you what is it that you do to go to sleep? You live completely still until until what is. to you, your body is exactly what you expect to happen way of laying completely still The way I feel now should feel exactly the way I feel in the next second, the moment it's right. The moment is true the moment. It is true that your legs so still that your next moment, be identical to your current moment. That's when you fall asleep.
because as soon as the next moment and the current moment are the same, you lose consciousness because you can't maintain consciousness. If what you expect, exactly what's happening, and the only time you ever see that in your real life is when you're laying completely still and trying to go to sleep, how about that yeah? How about that Explain: anesthesia same thing: anastasia as soon as you get it put you in a case
where your body doesn't move, and so your next moment analysis asia will be just like your last moment. Then you're sleep now that the drug to sleep part is, I think, a special case. So I wouldn't I wouldn't go too far, and that example, but consciousness is nothing but the difference between what you expect our happened, and all you have to do is give the robot. That sensation, which is easy and ass consciousness, the robot needs to know. I think if I take this step I'll just move forward and everything will be fine boop true, I think the temperature will be be well
This is as long as the robot or ai is moving through the world and measuring the difference between what it expects and what it's recording it would have consciousness. That's it it would have consciousness. That's all it takes. You know, assuming it process that difference, it'd have to be able to process. The difference is that processing that gives it the illusion of conscious. what is a seizure, then I dunno so so what do you think. They're going to sleep proves, the consciousness is only the difference between what you expect and what happens you didn't expect that to be so good dead. You know, even while that is going
you're thinking today, how high were you when you realise this? That's good question. Pretty I pray I. Alright, that's all for now youtube talk to you tomorrow.
