Good morning. Everybody. I welcome to the high level of human civilization, possibly mars, personalization, not too distant future youtube doesn't have sound probable youtube would be better. If I put my microphone It is probably this will be better than microphone onto hope that everything will be better with sound. That's what I think if you'd like to take your oh, oh shit. Apparently I have to turn off the the comments for every every episode. I thought I'd add them off, but the youtube comments I will be ignoring because there are too many anti semites. If you'd like to make comments, you could always be on the

subscription locals platform or you can be on the x platform. That's bb live right now, at the same time, but too many anti semites on youtube and I think they're not organic. I think somebody sending them here so we're gonna ignore them. But if you'd like to take your expert, up to levels which have never seen before idea is copper, mugger, glass and thank her job time and again to juggle flask of vessel. Emily guide fill with your favorite liquid, paula coffee enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure dopamine. It was the day. The thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip go. Oh so good, so good. Well, I hear the people were ordering my hard, copper hardcover version of reach,

your brain notices, second october ninetieth, which means. You probably don't want away beyond member to ordered if you're gonna get free gifts, now People are buying five to ten copies of the book because it turns out it sort of that a gift for literally everyone. Anybody who can read. because it will change lives. Skirted and others people told me that the best thing about giving this book as a gift is this. The first time they can explain who I am because a lot of people are getting heat for. Listening to me, If you ve been getting heat for listening to me, this book Explain me in a way that other people will understand for the first time so one dozen from it, if you're having our term explaining, why you would listen to somebody like me, that'll do for you. sort of changing lives in a very big way.

No way to longer. You have years by christmas, I became. As you know, reality likes to follow the path of most energy and the winner of the? U s, open tennis was a joke, a rich and joke of. Famous for what, besides status famous, Or rejecting vaccinations to the boy, was it last year he was not even allowed to play in the. U s open because he was on he came back. He won the damn tournament and you not only the winter, but the sponsor sponsor. The term unless one of them was a modern madonna and use featured in the madonna shatter the day. They showed a highlight of joke image, the most famous denier of vaccinations,

and it was labelled the shadow the day madonna That's almost as bad as tik tok advertising on fox news. As soon as year, the advertiser you go, oh man what's going on here, so that's it. There is a company called voyager labs who, theoretically hypothetically, can predict crime before it happens, Now new york city is using the software, but not in that way. So that's not the only thing it does so they say there? Are these not usually to predict crime, but it could do it. There's those who thought that it can do. but here's my question as much as

I'm not sure. I want the government to be able to predict crime, because you know that that's going to go terribly wrong right. If the government can protect gripe, there's just not a good, not a good, predictive sort of thing, but here's the question: I ask you: what? If citizens could use it to protect themselves Would that be wrong? Suppose you could? You could run against everybody that I noses a new neighbourhood- and even I check the police that are your local police that are on your streets, suppose you got, you got stopped by a place. Speeding or something. I suppose you can tell immediately if your police officer was gonna, be dangerous to people like you. Wouldn't that be useful.

If, as soon as you saw, the police officer come up and you saw the name, if somehow you have some way to know, this was a bad one, this one's been accused of your five different abuses already, so you better better. Cuba wraps or under wraps, or they will tell you to move, suppose ran this offers, and europe. single woman living in this neighborhood. Your odds of being abuse are eighty, some eighty percent you'd better get the hell out of here. I know I feel I feel like something that was predictive of crime would be useful to citizens, because you could even know if your own friends are likely to steal from you

wouldn't that be healthy to to do the people you're working with are the people you want to do a deal with are likely to rob you. While it's an interesting question, I dunno if the software could actually identify that kind of risk, but if it could, if it could, would you use it it's kind of creepy, it would definitely discriminate, but who keep you safe while Joe Biden can they re confirm that has really happened? I saw that a tweet, but I didn't ask your source. Is it the job Joe Biden said, I guess yesterday, maybe that china has become too weak to invade taiwan because their economies so that we actually other. What do you think of that? Do you think that's true

You know you know what's interesting. Is it might be a little bit true? It's certainly not true enough right. It's not one hundred per cent. True yeah, that's probably not fifty per cent true, but it shouldn't same point that that their their economy is a little bit sketchy, but I would be surprised if they couldn't mount a war with her existing assets, so I think that's an overstatement, but its variable it might be a variable. That's making. China have second thoughts. Imagine. If you are president, she and sure you're a dictator, seeing a lot of control, which is still need to keep other people happy. closely, the other leads could gang up on you if you are just totally out of control so

evenly head of china needs to make other people happy imaginative. Imagine if you re out of jail, presidency, and you say that you ve got all these other economic woes of the really big ones. Like demographic problems, things you're really easily fix, so it was easy manufacturing is leaving. You know, you're you're, maybe losing some of your access to some high tech staff yeah your little bit, pressured by everybody, gonna spend a lot and social services. You get fifty percent unemployment among the youth. suppose you got all those problems and, at the moment, their sort of a little bit under wraps, meaning that the average chinese citizens is probably not thinking about them every moment of the day Oh you're, you're kind of stable, but there's a lot of stuff a lot of

stuff, that could be a problem and fairly soon under those conditions would we'll take the chance of your economy imploding. Coincidentally, at the same time, the you started or because the problem is It looked like you made a mistake, starting a war. At the same time, it looked like you made a mistake managing the economy. That might be too many mistakes. So if you are a chinese leader, could you stand the internal national pressure of having the failed. me and a war? That's not maybe going to smoothly. Who knows what will happen? I feel like I feel I buy news onto something I feel like if, china's economy accordingly, one hundred percent solid their president. She could take a chance of screwing up a war and still stay in power. If the economy is bad answers or the chinese public organs

Why are we spending money on or when we ve got these other problems, just like the american economy is so can be that the best thing to reduce the chances of war in the world is bad academies because wars make economies worse especially if you lose so maybe maybe binds onto something a little bit there zobeide was in vietnam, embarrassing. The country by pick the right country to do it, you know, if you get a sudden biden onto the international stage, Wouldn't you want to send him to a country that values the elderly yeah? I don't they, We should send Biden anywhere where they I have a real, strong cultural preference for showing respect of the elderly

can you imagine, the face of the vietnamese leaders were greening greeting yeah yeah tell they are right. the things coming out of your mouth totally vague sense. We respect you elder I gotta that they can sake it better than other countries. Can you imagine the russians. invite Biden imagined by taking this performance to russia as if he would travel to russia. Imagine the russians washing Biden, yes flustered and mumbling around wandering off there literally be dragging laughing but tat. You take him to vietnam and everybody's. Like we respect the elderly, let's, let's just let it let it be. So I don't know

the the fact that there's sort of a cat's on the roof quality to the old Biden experience. You know what I mean he Biden is failing right in front of us, but because every day is sort of similar to the day before, but half a percent worse every day you say today: well it's not that much worse than it was yesterday and then the next day is just not that much worse than the us But if you start adding up these half of one percent, Everyday things are looking pretty bad in six months. The anatomy compounding compounding interest. So that's how we got here to this absurd ridiculous situation. I guess come Harris was sent to the nine eleven event today,

and Biden said he was going back to bed after he talked to the people in vietnam. Now to be fair, the time change must be brutal beyond a certain age, traveling and time changes and tough schedules. It's gotta be brutal. After that but maybe you should say they allowed going back to. Bed california, quietly looking into rivers. California, law that would punish doctors were spreading covert misinformation. Now in all of the can we call it a factory of the pandemic. Somehow I'd forgotten

the california law, the doctors who are doing their doing their best to help their customers? But if, if they happen to say something that was not the approved orthodoxy of what you can say, they could be punished for being wrong according to other people, not forbidden wrong. We're not talking about punishing the doctors for being wrong. Now, that's not even the topic is not about being wrong Is that they cannot even say it if it's against the other standard interpretation, so the that is not about being right or wrong should be. The scariest thing in the world is really just about not being ill with the government's allowed interpretation.

So there are slowly looks like they're, they're, sticky and in some other legislation, kennicott slowly walk back, but at least as they walked back. However, I can't be too happy about it because it existed in the first place in modern times in our lifetime that existed. That was a real thing that was a real, laugh and still lives by the way they just haven't reversed it. Yet The the level of wrongness there we ve experienced less than five years is that I think, is unpressed. Now I say as scientific study. That is being questions with one of his true that,

The human brain has shrunk in the past, however many thousands of years and that we used to have bigger brains like before the ice age or something so our brains used to be bigger and other smaller. Do you know that would explain what would that explain if our it in fact gun smaller. Now they answers everything. It will explain everything. yeah. You know how we couldn't understand how the ancients could build pyramids, but we wouldn't know how to do it today, using their technology, what if they were just smarter and that's that's the whole story like well. If you are smart as we used to be, you gonna build a pyramid too. Maybe that's all answer, maybe the maybe the answer to what's wrong with everything is that we're dumber than maybe there's nothing else too.

I don't think so, and the other scientists who are not the study are not so sure that we're getting dumber that some of them are saying. Oh yes, generally speaking, the bigger the brain, the smarter you are, but it could be an exception where, if you have more folds, it could be tighter and more compact like a microchip, so might actually be better. But there is one theory this as the brains shrunk, because we didn't need to shift to think individually there once you can and on other people's remember things and do some of your thinking for you, sir and group thinking there. You didn't need as much individual intelligence to stay alive and that therefore, it atrophies vision in this so much now So why should you believe that this new study about brain shrinking nuthin, including the fact that they shrunk because even that's questioned

other people say you can't really measure the size of a brain back them, because the odes not preserved and global block carefully down. So we know all that So here the sea and then narrative trump courtesy of Stephan Collinson, And by the way I tried to predict who the opinion piece will be based on the title, so I look at the title of the opinion piece before you see the name of associated and try to guess which which person it is- and this is what I soon as I saw. I was like hm that looks like Stephen collins and sure enough. Here are some things that says the republican front, runner, meaning trump historic speech the same stark. Is that a dark? I think we embarrassed them off dark and so, as now turned stark,

so very stark. The front runners stark speech raised the prospect of a second presidency. There would be even more extreme and challenging to the rule of law. That is first now. Do you believe that you could have effectively make the case? That's a trump administration was just purely secondly, had more or less a disregard for law, then the bided new administration does everybody think that's the gates. I can only think of one instance where this z in question and the one since january sex january sexism up is amiss. Information up by the left does not have a real.

It's not real in the sense that obviously wasn't an insurrection by half of the country things you can overturn a country with some paperwork and some trespassing, it's so too. So the they were. The Democrats is that they are so brainwashed to believe that there are the good guys that you could just put this out there like it's true and you don't have to. ward well, you others is. Was this one administration there was ignoring the law and the Democrats go. Oh yeah, oh yeah! Thank goodness. We ve got an administration that just just follows: lot now: This is amazing to me: it's just like mind boggling, that the possibility that somebody thinks that they can measure one administrations. Holding up the law compared to the other. How in the world would even could bear.

So that's brainwashing propaganda. Point number one is to beg you accept uncritical, the one of them is the honest one and we just start from their well star from these all that one is the honest side now. Look at all these. Times were yet how about we check that assumption of which one flouts long. and goals and goes on to say that talk about trump. His view that the oval office confers unfettered powers way, so seven gauze and on cnn wrote this sentence about try His view that the oval office confers unfettered powers what evidences of that exists. They were evidences of his internal unspoken thoughts

it's just put here like it's a fact as mind really mind really what once you by the way I'll say it Again, once I introduce the idea that alone Well, you see in politics. Is people pretending they can read minds when, obviously they can't one you see, if you say that we were right, the mind. Reading frame is like pervasive, and why and then once you realize, that is completely illegitimate speech, meaning that the issues somebody tried to brainwash. She was not somebody who s a like a real opinion. So when we finish this is my boy his view as a beacon others his view that the oval office confers federal bowers suggest trump wooden John similar conduct as that for which he is waiting trial. I serve survey put this altogether because you talk about the january sex, so the sake

decisions about january sex for my base completely fake accusations that we see them If we read his mind and we it is my we see that he is likely to do no more of the thing that never happened, because we read his mind. Did I state that right they read his mind. Trumps mine. And in it they can see that he is likely to do more of the things he has falsely accused of that's called the news on the left. Us, the news is set up any peace, but this new site. Well, there's a lot concerned by the people who care about ai, either to be an actor. first surprise: that's the big

the story that you don't expect, but of course you always expect that before before an election the october before the election, so that not this not this year, but one year from this, over there will have an air inspired deep, fake they'll be convincing enough. It will change the election now. Here's my question. I feel as if this could go either way. We might have reached the point where people will stop looking at photos and videos suppose, you had a site that wouldn't show you out of it. They wouldn't you we were video and they would never show your picture. There would only describe it. That would be as close as you, get real news, because videos and pictures lie there is the biggest liars. So I feel like if I knew human rights, a story and there were no pay

there's or videos to distract me enlighten me that might be close, very real. But also with there's no picture of video, it's easier to lie. So there's no real good good solution, but what is, do you think that it will be a deep fake october? Surprise I say no, This, as I say now, though, be lots of attempts, so they'll be plenty of defect. Attempts by think will be so onto the facts that we will be a prior to see. Everything is fake, even when it's not I think is more likely will think the real thing is fake. Ok, here's my prediction: here's my prediction! is more likely will think. A real thing was faked, then we'll think a fake thing was real. But we want to take the other side of that. That should be hard to prove, but look, look. Look, or a situation where there is a real thing.

That one side or the other believes is fake, I think that's, slightly more likely than actually believing a deep fake. Now we might believe a deep fake for a day, but we wouldn't believe a deep fake for two days if we're follow, if we're watching the news, because it would get debunked We quickly and I think the a I will be able to detect a I. So we should break Finally, in a that, that's a watchdog of other. I hate you there's no such thing as an a fact check does not the obviously if chat jpg can do search. should also be able to wash your posts and social media automatically add a fact check. It already I that ability right now Our debate would be somewhat easy, no, you don't see it,

Is there no chat, jpg fact check, because the Democrats can control it that then they do know that chechnya? It is I asked towards the left, but not in every way. Not in every way is still give you back. Sometimes If you let Chachi BT, do an automatic fact checking it would destroy the democratic party. because their entire operation involves gaslight guarantee. It just doesn't work on the other side, because if the site is sort of primed to reject everything that comes from less side just automatically so it doesn't work except for their own team. But what would happen if they thought shaggy beauty was real real enough and then a cab disagreeing with their own team. There's no way the damn

grass can allow Chad gb tee to become or a high in general to be the public conversation unless they've biased is so badly. That can possibly be useful. Just think about that. So there's my prediction. My prediction is Democrats will never allow a I to be part of fact checking unless they threw corrupted to so badly. That can really do the faction. Anybody won't take the other side of that protection. You don't want to take the other side that one there will never be nay. I fact checker approved by Democrats cabin just think about that fact. river. So this is gonna, be the biggest dog, not barking once it becomes like incredibly.

We're to every citizen. The chat jpg could identify the bullshit you're going to ask. Why is not doing it if it can identify fakes and bullshit, and you know facts that are just spin and of course it could do that why Are we massively using it now doesn't mean it will get everything right? It could just flag things. You should look into more deeply, but when that be useful, Look. How useful the community notes are the ex platform, the best thing ever. The community knows where they they add. The contacts

if the community notes do not seem to be targeting one side, would you agree if you've watched a the the community notes have taken down people on the left and the right? It is just the fact. This is a fact so yeah, I think, that's the most. I think the community notes are the most successful fact checking process so far hello.

Only right, Jake tapir looks like he's trying to get you learn, musk assassinated or jailed cause he's pushing a narrative via his questioning is pushing the narrative of an attorney blinkem, and he says I paraphrase but Jake tapirs said that moscow- actively sabotaged a military attack against a? U s ally. Now his version of it is a mosque deactivated. These skyland it's his own satellites that ukraine was using and they were planning to use it for a maritime attack which would then the centrally a pearl harbor attack on the russian fleet before the russians leads our thanks. All one place now

so there was one point during the early part of the war when the fleet was in one place or a lot of it, and an attack of that size were made moscow uncomfortable because he says he talked to some high ranking russians who threatened nuclear response. If things go to bed and that that look like it was possibly a nuclear trigger and that Ask himself apparently decided that he would not turn on those satellites and there's some difference in the report at the way the way tapir describes it sounds like you turn them off, but indeed they were never I don't know the first place, so they were actually asking them to participate in something that could have started world war three, and he said no. He just said no. He never. He never promised coverage over

media because he thought crimea was read now the blinkem wisely, I thought he handled it well, instead of saying anything. Good or bad about mosque or what he did or did not do It just said- and this is the right answer this you know- I've- I'm not a big blanket fan, but he gave the exact right answer. He said we think skylake is important and has been important and will be important to the future in our war and then you and then the tapper tried to humiliate him for within the question to which I say thank you for avoiding that question. I wanted you to avoid that question, Did you say sky like is important and we're gonna keep using it where we can That's all I want to hear,

I don't want to hear you say anything about an american citizen who is trying to help every way you can. I don't want to hear any criticisms about him. In that context, I mean criticisms, fine, but not in that context. So blinking play that exactly right, because you don't want to piss off mosque if he controls the biggest asset in the sky, but to watch jake tapper frame this in a way that would get musk killed or jailed. Is probably one of the least ethical things I've ever seen in my life, when you are very valuable, saw their clip. They look like the least moral and ethical ethically responsible for you, ve ever

and the idea here is that musk was doing his own foreign policy, which would be illegal now at what point is talking to somebody else, foreign policy, or is it the fact that you didn't turn on the saddle, This is a foreign policy. If I dont give? U s s for you for your military stuff. Is that interfering am I do My own foreign policy, if I decide not to go, kill people, you want me to kill. That's my own foreign policy, if using to help in a war that doesn't like legitimate to some people, that would be foreign policy. Well, let me say that,

We would have a big conversation about foreign policy means cars. Do you think I've never talk to anybody in another country? That's what the ex platform does. It allows people in other countries too. Yummy are there not plenty of public figures, and I would be one of them who have had relations with people in other countries in which they, many things that inform my opinion medications. I don't believe in because it looks like propaganda but were not allowed to talk to people in other countries under under conditions? Are we not allowed to talk to other people, because I'm not aware of any law that will prevent me from talking to anybody under any conditions. Who can tell me you? I can talk to another country

Is there a law about that? I know if it's my job to go over there and influence on there's something, but I gather converse where, where I learned things and they learn things that are not secrets in others, there is one thing to be: I guess: carry was kind of negotiating with a ransom. Is that some of you that's the real kind? There might be a problem, but if all must do is talk to a bunch of high ranking russian, and they told them something that is a little bit obvious, that they will consider nukes under some situations and that he acted on that. How does that, like what? What kind of law that violate not wanting to be involved in starting world or three is doing your own foreign policy as quotas? much so to me it looks like

Powers on the left are going up to take the trouble to take moscow. I think that they need him go on in order for their propaganda gaslight machine to work, because if you can get the ex platform- along its a little more obvious, why europe up Let's talk about Nicky early, whose prospects seem to be rising. Lot of people are like in her But she is pro or ukraine and funding at whereas trump and vague to name too, would be a little more aggressive and trying to wine down that war and get us out of there. but she said a win for russia in that war is a way for china. Do you say that a win for russia's winfried china that feels like like a week, bullshit arisen,

Doesn't it there's something about that reason that makes me think she doesn't have a reason. Yeah. It's I. Why do you have to stretch you giving billy? Dollars for a war- and you ve got to come up with some third party effect for a wise, important there's, not a first party effect, as in people dying right now and it is their does, make us safe or not in terms of russia. but but the real concern is china. Is she just bad at explaining things or is that our actual reason I feel her explanations of the ukraine situation. I'm not saying that there are wrong, but there are at the very least poorly explained, and I don't think you have a war, thus poorly explained like that, feels like really important.

Name it accurately. So we have this whole. When, for russia's win for china, that's a little too thin. Let some weeks soup right there, which is different from saying we should or should not fund them I have my opinions on that, but what we're talking about now is just this explanation. Just doesn't feel real, sounds like something to sit down and think it up or it can you come up with a reason. Why were funding this war? Well, Russia, well, will the sea will be safer from rush now, we're not very safer from russia will actually be more. Or from russia. So were the reason would be to save you create, will now Ukraine's totally destroyed. So it's not it's not about saving you craned, it's about making sure that nato is not really a bit

nato? So I feel like it was somebody you had to come up with a an essay for college class. In the age of, say something. Somebody had been said already The gardener say well. Say all I'll talk about these third third effect you downstream, and it doesn't even it just doesn't she re? It sounds like cia. Let's just say what it sounds like. It sounds like somebody in a propaganda job came up with this ridiculous. You know china is really about that. Russia is really about china and Ukraine is really about china. Hmm, I'm sorry. No not yet do not you'll never see. Now

definitely see. Somebody like vague say that you now we should be focusing on china is not helping us to be focused over here. That's Well, I'm different than saying a win for russia is a win for china, though those don't sound the same to me, but I get the fact that our focuses in the wrong place, but why women that is backward, says so vague saying we should get out, because being there is good for china. And Nicky hilly is saying: we should stay there and funded, because getting out will be good for china. so. There are two major republicans who can and tell you for sure well one of them's right, but we don't know which ones right smart enough So we get even tell.

If a war is good or bad for our main, let's say: competition, China, that's a pretty fun, if the dental problem do you know what I say when you can't decide if a war is good or bad for you, how do you handle it when you can't decide if it's good or bad for you, you don't do it? You don't do war if you're not sure, unless its defence of war and then you're sure, but That's pretty scary, even republicans get dont know. Why were there. Here's a little interesting tin that there's a drug called memon team. That's given to adults with demand, It's a memory. Drug sosa already approved existing memory, drug. And there are some newer stuff is this. It might be useful, for

Would you say, eighty hd and but older, but you won't be able to find this in the news. You know why. Why would you not be able to find that there's an existing drug that may be and by the way you should not take any medical advice for me. I'm not I'm not making the claim that it works, I'm not making the claim that it works. How would I know I'm not a doktor do not take any drugs because you heard it on the show, let's be clear, I'm just spit ball in here. There's no medical advice. However,

There are, there are at least some doctors who work in the field, who are pretty sure that its having some effect. Why is it that if you do a search for it would be hard to find that? Could it be that there are some other drug that makes a lot of money? That is the current thing that works radiation GonNA, be there some other. So here's how you understand drug news, If you do a search and says hey, there's this one drug that everybody should use for the situation in Peru,

It literally means that whoever sells a drug did a good job of managing the search engine optimization so that their thing comes up and anything else doesn't come up now. As you know, I gave you a direct example of this, the other day where there's something I have personal knowledge of cause. I am in fact cured by surgery on my out, but if you search for my condition, good luck going away down the search to find known cure. Instead, you will find out the boat taxes, the gold standard of treatment, which, in fact, is by far less good. Fewer than the surgery now the serbian doesn't work for every person, so there's some risk it, but the botox doesn't work for me personally,

So so we do know with some certainty. I can tell you with personal experience that The search engine optimization for drugs, they work, doesn't work so that The search engines are all they're. All owned. They're essentially been neutered by the drug companies, so, if there were a drug- and I'm not saying they were, there is just. This is just one story you would know about it. So your social media would prevent you from knowing about cures. There would totally changed your life like Really change your life imagined adhd. There wasn't properly treated. And there you wouldn't know that there was something out there that can help you, maybe again don't take my word for it, not a doctor, but that the level of evil that were saying

because when it comes to medical staff, regular marketing shouldn't even be legal. Goes away the way you market a normal consumer product You say ours is the best and the other person sucks. And that doesn't even necessarily need to be true. You might not have the best one, it might be overpriced. Your competition might have a better one, but we're kind of used to that when it's just some consumer good, but when it comes to life and death, like that, your quality of life is below the worth living point, but it could be above it if you simply have this little information about what would make you better in the search engines will just bury that not intentionally. Perhaps it's just maybe gaming from the from the people who are trying to game it, but

It's just so unethical that it's almost hard to keep it in your head anyway. There's this new book on musk, it's a biography by walter, isaacson and musk himself must be happy about it, because I saw him sending a post in which you is recommending a interview with Walter isaacson, without even seeing it, because he said everything that guy says is kind of interesting, so they like each other, apparently so that that's good to know. Just when you're right, when you trying to evaluate how true the biography as is good to know that the biographer in the subject that long and yeah. I guess so. Walter Isaacson was talking to lex freedom and out about gas, which probably quite interesting. I would imagine

But there's a few anecdotes coming out in one of the one of them is about the relationship between elon musk and bill gates, which you might know is not ideal. Now. What are you saying about this was that they didn't always know each other is now we're the only a few years ago they seem to have met for the first time I was even possible. how did elon musk and bill gates not end up in the same room, just naturally a bunch of times, without even trying do so by the way my trigonometry podcast is up today, apparently trigger nom a tree. Look for that

I know that it's one of the best podcasts and so here's some things. We learned from the biography that that musk was really mad at gates for shorting tesla stock. Now, if you're, not an investor, a short is a bet that the stock will plunge and go down, and then you can money by voting against the stock. So you can either by a stock and made money when it goes up or you can do, is call selling a short where you make money when it goes down, but that's concern putting pressure on the stock. Somebody buys a big short, it makes other people say well what do you know that I don't know so it's a big pressure on the stock price, so it's kind of a messed up thing to do if you're the person who owns a lot of stock in that company As a mosque apparently challenged him when gates wanted to

bring one of his children to watch a launch. Here's a sub category or part of the story. That's also interesting when gays wanted to schedule with musk to bring gates cared to see a launch or see the rockets, something must told them that he fired schedulers because he didn't like than having too much control over schedule so that to schedule with him. You'd have to call him directly the like call his phone number so bill gates. It's a schedule and have his secretary set it up, but he couldn't send his secretary to call most directly, as I would just sort of be inappropriate, so yeah yeah scheduled himself, so bill gates, called musk scheduling. so, apparently when they got together one. Some disagreement about whether other

can ever be a tesla, so my truck- I just saw one so must said, do of the imf. Small to use battery power to make the big semi drugs, I think most was that there were already running at the time the disability are impossible. Already up and running, Another unless places I saw one yesterday or the other day. So I guess gates was completely wrong about the capability of the batteries and it turns out that moscow knew a lot more about batteries and engaged as surprise And that gates, which is totally wrong about everything, about docile and its potential now mosques problem

The case is not just a guy who's investing to make money, and so he asked him. Reportedly musk s gaze why you would have a short and the one company that is doing the most to get us away from fossil fuels and gates basically said he didn't make money. He bet against the most important anti fossil fuel company, the one that would be doing doing the most to make fossil fuels are necessary. He bet against it in a way that could damage it like severely to make money and they said it directly. Did have to make money. So then I guess they quote from Moscow.

during this was my sat in a note. Somebody at this point, I am convinced that he been engaged, is categorically insane. Now then parenthetically and ass all to the core abovesaid. I did actually want to like him say so. in person elon says, he's either crazy or just an asshole who doesn't care about it. So So now I know you can extend this and you got to say both scott use he doesn't invest just to make money. You said it yeah using his fortune to make the world a better place and haven't I've been I you that he's he's evil and he's trying to destroy the world. I don't think you can

this example. To make that case, here's why you know, I think that the previous riches person in the world as any bad feelings about the current riches person in the world. You don't think the gates and must I have a personal situation there primarily was driving them, and that has nothing to do with anything else. The gates does anyone else to me. I just looked personal it just like, like gates, still mojo to mask most is now the the better gates. Basically because when I grew up bill gates was the the standard of your high tech entrepreneurial success, but he's not at the moment. At the moment, as mosque, so imagine going most year, life big guy, like you're, the guy for technology-

and now there's another, the guy and you're, getting all this trouble for your personal behavior, etc. I dunno to me it just looked personal. I I think that gates would have been happy to see a tesla go down because it would have made gates, look smarter, but I don't think you could take that which is pretty ugly and extended to the reason he's making toilets in africa is to make money that that's a pretty big stretch, but people are people are complex, other, neither all good nor all bad Yeah yeah just personal me, so I'd say I doubt, is insane but ass. The core appears to be consistent with what people have said about gaze from the first days,

I would never argue these, not national unity, that did you. I've never made that case. And I say that if you were there in person, you'd be a good guy. I doubt it. I was watching last night, I was watching a special on frank sinatra and here's uglier than about frank sinatra, in my opinion, his greatest accomplishments. We never talk about. I give you think, you're frank sinatra ease. oh yeah, you great singer and he was a movie- is successful and stuff. It turns out that his maybe most awesome accomplishments had nothing to do with those. those things allowed him to be frank sinatra, so we could do the other things. For example, he had in his little erect back use group a guy's included, Sammy Davis, shooting now

days in the fifties, Sammy Davis Jr couldn't even stay at the hotels where they performed it was allowed to stay there or order either someone because the racism was the bad. but because natural was so powerful he would just Yes, you are you. Actually. We're going change that you no discrimination when I'm here semi is gonna, be treated like everybody else, and they just for people to do it, so he was one of the biggest forces, for you know realistic diversity in in entertainment, at least, and also the world, so he basically went to the mat against I am discrimination, but there was another story that I hadn't heard until I watched this so apparently at the time that Sinatra had moved to palm springs, I think it was palm springs.

And other rich people wanted to spend some time. There, too, is just a good place for rich people, but The rich jewish actors and hollywood people Couldn't even join the big golf club in palm springs at an amateur the word, but it was one big and that they would want to be a member of, but they were not allowed, so they were rich enough. They decided to start their own golf club so that all the jewish members could play, but it wouldn't be restricted. So you didn't have to be jewish, it's just that. They wouldn't restrict anybody, so it ended up being lots of jewish members while frank sinatra, who is not jewish and he actually moved his home onto the golf course. So that frank sinatra was basically endorsing. You know this this new arrangement,

that was not discriminating against his friends. So if you, if you and it was a big very apparently especially for the area, it was a big statement like statement was if this club isn't going to let my friends then you're not going to see me there and seeing frank sinatra- was sort of a big deal. So so he he put the hammer down on two very notable situations in which he would not tolerate discriminate. And to me that was as his greater accomplishments, but this is not even why I was going to talk about it. I was there to talk about him because he was also a miserable drunk. Apparently, it was just terrible to people when he was drunk and he really like to drink. So wasn't that uncommon. But when you watch the people talk about him, they talked like they were seen.

Like oh, my god, he was so nice and apparently did just incredible amount of charity work like for individuals, but also for Organizations he did like just all kinds of I already saying he said yes to everything, so he was in fact a genuine charitable guy. Who did things which I think could have changed history I mean my mate might be that important. But he could also be a pretty mean guy so. How do you handle the fact there's? Somebody is sometimes terrible and sometimes an angel and they can be both guys can be both people. I think you have to keep that in mind when you're lucky you anybody like bill gates So if you want to say that he is like pure evil that doesn't feel likely to me, I feel really unlikely.

But if you told me that everything does is noble and for the good of humanity, I would say clearly not clearly not, but you can Both it could be one of the most useful people to society and also an asshole there's, not there's no competition there, he could people. I speak from personal experience. I like to do things that help the world, but am I a flawless know? Obviously, alright people are complex, as mainly boyd, and do you remember when forbes the publication was a respectable publication. Oh, my god, I don't know what happened, but, oh my god, so there's an article here about how

richer bore unethical than the poor. The rich are more unethical and immoral than the poor misinforms is enforced. And here the examples. without any doubt, no believable data to back it that the rich. Of lax attitude toward the rules, so they're more prone to break laws while driving. cancer. You gotta believe that certain rules might not apply to them, yeah, because, when I'm afraid of a crime am, for example, I don't want to be around rich people. You know if you want to be free from crime, go to the poorest part of the country, because that's where people are morally strong. You can leave your door unlocked just go to any inner city, just leave your door unlocked because there are no rich people there to take your stuff cause, they're all immoral, those rich people,

they are the rich also currently forbes article is an opinion, be so I guess skewed ethical compasses, because as something that the rich app the poor other inconsiderate the rhetoric and inconsiderate, unlike the poor who just there so considerate, And the rich have something called an overemphasis on winning Whether in games or work yeah those those stupid, rich people, they have an overemphasis on winning. So you wouldn't want that around you. Would you let me get away from those winners, my god. now do it? Do I even need to add commentary to this. This is forbes.

And they're. Basically saying, kill, rich people indirectly, and I mean all the the the rich people are the bad people. So if you did something bad too, if you did something bad to a rich person, well, that would not even be immoral what it because they have a common they're, all they're, all bad people. My god do you think that the the left is trying to kill trump and musk like well, he kill them. I dunno, if anybody's, had a meeting where they said those words, but if you were to judge by actions it looks like it. It looks exactly like it. You know you want to your ears, my conspiracy theory, I'm gonna give you the conspiracy theory of all conspiracy theories. I will

I say that I believe my own conspiracy theory and therefore you should, but when situation is granted. We are led to a certain set of conclusions, whether you like it or not, and the thing this bugging me for a long time is that you have our stories and I've told you before that if I were in charge of the usa, some massive brainwashing operation, I would want to know if I could test when the public is ready for them. The big one. and then you have always would be this nice or silly story than normal, which way where went over just becoming funny. So what are you she put it, u f, o osorio, and then you wait a few weeks and you see how many people believe that now I don't know the esa that, can you tell me what,

percentage of the public believe the? U f, o's story, less than half, not twenty five percent, but it was fewer than half. Was it not fewer than half believed it was true? I did a fact check on that you're just guessing alright, so here's my conspiracy, theory if seventy five percent of the country, I believe the ufos story than the brain washers in charge would know that we're ready from the big one and the big one would be assassination. The big one would be assassination. and that because the u s, o story was not bought hook, line in sector that they pulled back on the plan to kill trump. And they may have, they may have the same plan for musk. For all I know, but now- and I say this issue- nothing-

It's true, I'm just saying that if you remove any trust in media, we're all left with our own devices, so we're all going to look for patterns and then we're going to think those patterns mean something they don't a lot of times. The patterns are just you know, actually it patterns, but I'll tell you the pattern. I see with the the forbes thing this bay. italy is trying to change the public's opinion of how much they think about the rich people. Now, what do you think I've when using the rich people trump and musk, like they're they're defined by being rich people? So if you could make rich people? Look like there, the

at once, and you can make the public believe anything, including ufos. You can just kill the rich people if there were in your way and then you can tell the public that it was an accident and seventy five percent will believe. twenty brought twenty five percent won't believe, but it's not enough to change. The twenty five percent was probably ebony believe they Kennedy was killed by the cia for most of my life, probably twenty five percent of the public thought the cia killed Kennedy Right, so that was enough, the society did not rise up because twenty five percent just isn't enough. Seventy five percent said listless just move on, probably one government,

So that's what scares me about the ufos story. It looks like it's planted, it didn't look organic to me and they look like there would be some point to it and the only other point I think, would be the scare, china or russia into thinking. We have some technology that they don't know about. Maybe I mean that's another plausible explanation, but I. It feels like a test to see if we're ready to believe literally anything you'd have to get us to kennedy levels of trust in the system. Before

You could listen to the system say. Oh no problem was one bullet, it was a magic bullet, but it was just one. Member of the public believes the magic bullet for most of my life. They believed there was a magic bullet, just like Busch, went through them and still do. The I dunno how many bullets orbit you'll never know. So that's what scares me. and that's the reason that the study says all these unethical tendencies according to the psychology, is why the rich said can succeeded, lifeboat fell in love So the rich fell in love because they're not trusted the star the rich fell in love with a like me.

explain to them why the rich fell in love, thereby who doesn't know the obvious answer that, because we can afford it. We can afford it wise, ass, a mystery, rich people have the most options, so you have the most temptation and the let's say the wife. If you take a classic situation with a richer guy merriest somebody A woman who marries rich guy doesn't have to put up with a recent goes gonna get enough money even with a prison even with a pre up. There's gonna be some bag of money involved. So. all you do is changed the financial incentives and you will get this result and this psychology

I have has something to do with trust. A lot to do with trust as to do is follow the money. all the money works under presenting the time and the money suggests that getting married to a rich guy, divorcing? The rich guy is a really good deal, because then you can have money plus a guy, you like better what and everybody do I under how any rich people stay buried to me would be. Circle of anybody ever stay married to a rich person. here's the money suggests lesion. So they know this as simple as that alright ukrainians didn't others, but they ve developed a substantial weapons. Manufacturing capacity didn't see that coming. Only the ukrainians can make a lot of weapons now locally. Big ones were talk about our children.

Now there may then, of plastic and wood and they don't fire any shells other use for decoys. So has this massive decoy, military and industrial process where they're making there were there making decoys to use up the russian artillery so that there are happy about through the fake fake. Radars and stuff so they'd just make it a word and they spray paint it and they wait for the russians to destroy it now on one hand, I think this is awesome, pretty good strategy, I'm sure it works it's using up their there. On the other side. On the other hand, I don't know if I would bet on the group that needed to make wooden weapons. I'm just say after if there, if there's everywhere, to determine

whose winning and whose losing a war I would look to the one they had to make weapons at a cardboard. If one side is making weapons at a cardboard and plastic bottles, they are not going to be the winner. Again, I remind you know, literary analysed. But if I were a military analysed, I would not place a large bat and the people were making weapons underwood. Let's just me. They did the same thing during world war. One or do they did they did. I'm not saying it's about strategy, I'm just so doesn't sound like the winner strategy. Is that sounds like it. But the other side as better, better weapons?

cause. I don't think russia's doing that. You think russia's making too much of wooden artillery. They don't need to because they have so much of the real stuff. This is an indicator of what's happening. I was asked on the locals platform, suddenly asked me: what's the difference between affirmations and wishful thinking. So an affirmation is when you're imagining the thing you want to be true as an aid to making a true wishful thinking is just What you wish you had something in my answer is wishful thinking Is just wanting affirmations is closer to deciding, because if you can chance to write down or visualize the skull every single day you probably decided, because you just wouldn't do that unless you really committed yourself to it, because the affirmations are saw the. Lastly, you do

sometimes the first, the typically you know, you're already trying to do something in that regard. You're trying to make something to happen. and then you say alright. How about affirmations? So affirmations are pretty good sign, because you're going to do it every day. That you're committed to this thing, wishful thinking is like me thinking. Well, you know if I were elon musk. What would I do today? Alright, but I'm not trying to make myself elon musk is just oh, wouldn't that be fun, and then you watch a movie and you see somebody's having a good life. You'd say: oh wouldn't that be fun, but that's just wanting and there's no faith involved in either case. Let me be clear, believing and having some faith has nothing to do with any wish

Like it, there's no faith required for wishful thinking, but there's no faith required or believe for affirmations. The idea behind affirmations, which maybe not even true, is that these simple process of concentrating on a gold makes it more like. it happened. There are several ways I could be true way. Number one is that there is some backwards causation happening, and the way that works is. If you can spend fifteen minutes today, focusing on your objective. It probably majority decided to do whatever it takes,

I get there so asleep deciding whatever it takes to get there. That was probably the operational part, but by coincidence, there's a correlation between people who are going to do whatever it takes, and people would also do an affirmation, so it could be. The affirmations are just attached to people who are going to do whatever it takes so that you We had a correlation between affirmations of success, and that would be the least magical explanation that would just be pretty straight forward. who do one thing are likely to do the other things as well. So it's not the other thing. That's predictive is just associated so that they can explain it all. I would be one of those personalities, so my personality is once I've decided to do something. I'm going to do all of us. thanks yeah, I'm going to do all of the things and one of them might be affirmations whether I think it works or not, because once I've decided I'm going to do all the things

I'm not going to leave out any of the things like if they might work, alright, try it. So it can be one reason they appear to work. Another would be that you are something called the reticular activation I didn't make this up and it has to do with the fact that you notice things that are relevant to you and repeating a goal make something more relevant to you, because it's at the front of your mind, so whatever is at the front of your mind, tends to be the filter where you notice things in your environment, for example, if you, if your best friend, bought a certain color and model of car from that moment on the the moment after you While your friend bought this car, a certain color model you'll see that car everywhere you get on the highway. There's one there's one and you never notice before. It is because your friend's car moved to the front of your mind, and it became your

walter and now you're, seeing things that you just wouldn't have noticed before, because you changed your filter. That's how it works. Now, suppose that you do an affirmation about becoming famous tourist, and you didn't know how to do it. Would you notice some opportunities that you wouldn't have noticed before, because you said that no front of your mind? Well, that's what made me a cartoonist. I literally was doing the affirmations but didn't know how to cook. One and I turned on the tv- and I noticed what I have noticed before- well, I notice there was a tv show telling people how to be a cartoonist. Now I miss the show and I wrote a letter and asked some questions and that got me started.

What I have even noticed, if I hadn't put their filter in front of my mind, to becoming cartoons done up so could be just filtering for opportunity. There's a study by a doctor Weissmann. Who studied luck? Luck you want to see. If there is such a thing as luck, there isn't So it says that nobody can guess things better than other people, but he did this study. I talk about all the time where he asked people to sort themselves by optimists and pessimists and then he gave them all the same task, which was to count the number of photographs in a newspaper, so the pessimists, count the number of photographs and on average they got the right number. Let's say that was forty: two just make up a number.

yeah, but it would take them several minutes to go through the newspaper and count them all up. But they'd get the right answer. The optimists would also get the right answer, but it would take them seconds. They were done in seconds, but it took the others. It is and the reason that the optimists were done in seconds on average. Again this is just an average is The optimists noticed that on page to have every newspaper in big right, it is said, stop carrying the photographs. There are forty two. It was right there in big writing. Stop cadmium there. Forty two. Now the pessimists were not expecting any luck, that's where pessimists are so. They just said want to kill two photographs: three droopy dog, four or five. Forty two.

The optimists are always looking for luck all the time some goods gonna happen to me. Some goods going to happen. and they're like artless start this task to do do hey, I guess I can stop. I got some luck. I thought this was gonna, be boring, but look I got lucky, Page to us, I counting counting bomb boom done so doktor weissmann hypothesized, though what's happening here is that people who expect luck are actually adjusting their filter to see more of it. So is it possible that when I was expecting good things to happen to become a cartoonist that I just set my filter for good luck and then I saw it and then I saw some good luck. Maybe

The other possibility for why affirmations could work. Is it just makes you more serious about your goal? You're, basically talking yourself into being more serious about it by thinking about it and repeating it every day, so it could be just that. Maybe it makes you focus But the experience that people have is almost magical like there was some laughlin that popped up maybe they're, just noticing the luck, but here's the weirdest explanation. That we live in a simulation that this reality of ours. the simulation and that the way you navigate the simulation is by your intentions. Your intentions, as what information is information is your intention. Put into words when you put an intention into words weapons.

words, are they operating system of your brain, the words just one So soon, as your intention turns into us In other words, then you can reprogram your brain. The intention isn't good enough. You need you need to word it reinsert it and repeat it, and then it becomes the code in your brain. That's what a reframe is alright, so my book teaches you how to use words in a short sentence to reprogram your brain. There's, no effort involved, you just read the words. You're done read it once and that's all you have to do. That's the entire change. Read one sentence once and there are one hundred and sixty of those sentences. So one possibility in the simulation is that you're not just programming your your brain with words, which would be good, but there might be something

weirder if we're a simulation, it could be that's the way we steer within the simulation. Another words. Maybe we have lots of possibilities, but when you focus on one, It actually veers you into a reality in which it is true. So it's not If there's one reality and there's one set of things that could happen, there are infinite dimensions and you can, through your affirmations, move your path off of a dimension that you're heading toward and towards a different one, so you're not making something happening. That's where that's the way it feels like affirmations feels like you made your environment change, but what, if the environments never changed, and all that happened was you moved to a new one? That would be perfectly possible if we're a simulation but not possible under more normal understanding reality now, given that

Pretty sure we are a simulation, because the odds are a trillion to one there were anything, but that that's launder discussion. My understanding, my Parading understanding of affirmations is that it's a steering mechanism steer towards a reality. That's more like my liking, so wishful thinking. is just some thinking about some good things. There's no operational part too that this just thinking once you have an intention, and that attention turns into words and you either read as refrain such as my book. where you turn it into an affirmation where you say I, Scott Adams, what the best selling book I actually use that one on my vessel books and so that that would give you all the tools you need to change dimensions.

I have only just a few minds: blown everybody's anybody's mind just blow up. I love watching the comments. What will I know something's happening? this is one of those moments. When you're saying tiers of only cow. There is a sort of all account moment. Isn't it now you understand my entire life that the filter that I just explained to you with affirmations and dissimulation, and all that that's what I live every day that that's my everyday understanding of my environment is well. I explained It's really nice, it is nice to live in their frame weathers. I don't know. What's true. Maybe truth is beyond us. But I can live in their frame and it's really pleasant where, because I feel like

I'm changing my environment, but really im, just changing which environment I choose to experience, and I would argue that there are other forms of affirmations. Somebody mentioned prayer. If you were, if your frame is that there's a supreme big and they're praying to their supreme being is the mechanism that causes the thing that happened in real life. That could be nothing but another way to steer toward another dimension, one where the things are happening that you want. So it could be that the god model works perfectly well or whereas,

well this affirmations cause. It would be just a steering mechanism in both cases yeah but the, but in my telling of things this face would be the face would be unrelated to the effect of this. You wouldn't need any faith. That is just a mechanical process. You could add faith, but it would wouldn't either add to or detract from the outcome. Somebody says, god works best,

I'm going to agree with you because we're all different, so I I very much think that for some types of people, the god prayer model is exactly the right one and for other types of people, maybe some other model is the one that works best, but I don't think it's. I don't think it's universally true. Alright faith is not even close to being mechanical. That's why I said you think you're disagreement. Now, that's what I said. Faith is not mechanical, but you would only need the mechanical part to observe benefits. The faith might be additional but, like you said or they're, not the same, don't think that the mechanical process and the faith are related with the faith as extra.

Right, well, I got everybody second and I think I'll leave you on this now believe. Anything in the news And I will talk to you tomorrow, so to say goodbye to the folks on the x platform. First and then you I'll see you tomorrow.
