This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
I don't pump our bones or have about one adapted to that rep up bowl good morning, everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Be that as it may, if you'd like,
Your experience today to go up to levels which nobody could even imagine with the best machinations in the world.
well, then all you need is a cup or mug or a glass attacked your jealousies die and give them to your job or flat risk of vessel of any kind
fellow with your favorite liquid, I like coffee and join me,
the unparalleled pleasure the dover made under the day. The thing that makes everything better, it's called the simultaneous happen happens now go.
Oh god, I don't know of any of you. Ve ever try this. It's something.
I don't know I don't know what was the last time. I ever tried it, but I tried it yesterday and it's amazing. I got almost enough sleep as I've ever done. That mean it wasn't like that.
I probably six hours but six hours like let's nine to me. So am I right
I go on. Let me at it like god, you should try sleeping. I really recommend it I'll tell you my two biggest sleeping tricks number one. If I exercise that day, perfect correlation one to one exercise, good sleep period, no exceptions, never once not once in my life as that, not work exercise equals good sleep. So you just gotta, get to sleep on time that, basically, if you've exercised that day, there's nothing except getting to bed on time as it, and then you solve the biggest problem in your life right there yeah. You can take
melatonin. You could do all those things, but I guarantee you if you exercise that day, you're going to fall asleep, you don't need of that stuff. Alright, here is that some. Would you like some optimistic news, because it looks like the world's falling apart today, I'm going to give you the optimistic news, whole bunch of it, this whole bunch, optimistic news and, of course, a number of stories about where I'm right about everything.
The usual well mit is come up with the discovery that they,
make water evaporate far more efficiently? With light, then heat does that I like a big deal, doesn't really big deal
you know, that is apparently the light without any heed. Under only the ideal conditions asked me, some courage condition that they can create the light without
it will evaporate water far more efficiently, my way more efficiently than heat. Do you know what that means? My enemy could mean that diesel civilization just became cheap. It could go down by a factor of
hundreds of presence and that changes a lot, because
imagine that imagine if you could, you could have water anywhere.
But what was the biggest limiter do where people can live and how they can grow food?
probably water as much as anything right climate of course, number one but waters to be the big. So imagine
imagine if there's a technology five years where pretty much anybody can live off grid and just have a little devices and makes all the war with one another.
ensures that a whole bunch of breakthroughs in producing water out of the atmosphere, but so so between the atmosphere that they can now suck the water out of that already exists, and then this thing, which might be a little desalinate a scale.
it could be that our real estate options just increased by one hundred there's just more places you could live without without having a city bring a pipe to you. So that's why
Then there is another one that is just
Just so perfect,
that is why those things that makes you think these simulation Israel and that the life were living is at least partly scripted like us. They come here, they'll be
well things that happened that you say how did that happen by coincidence that had to be the script somewhere? There's no way this happens by chance or here's another one, big improvement in the steam engines. As you said yourself, Scott,
Do we need improvement in steam engines? Are you gonna be running your car? Other state budgets got now now turns out that
dimensions have been used for I how many decades to produce electricity. So if you ve got some big source of energy like a falling water.
fall. It could drive a generator which could drive steam engines. I don't know, that's the wrong example. I think it's nuclear. I said nuclear. The drives the steam engines, yet nuclear power steam anyway. So if you want to make a lot of steam to make energy from nuclear power the
way we ve done. It traditionally is with some kind of steam engines.
empower plans worldwide, but it turns out that take
images from the nineteenth century raising steam turbines from the nineteenth century.
they found a way to run these steam turbines without water.
What what would you guess is the replacement for the water that gives a huge increase in energy production c, o two liquefied c o two. I guess you could put a c o two under pressure and liquefy it and it makes your steam engine or some modified steam engine way way more efficient
It looks like it's all doable like there's nothing that would stop them from doing it. So here's something that could have a huge impact someday on our energy costs. The same time desalinization could have a huge impact. Now if you've got a cheap water or at least ubiquitous and you've got way cheaper energy
As a good world isn't because then all you need is robots, nay, I and are both coming more on that later,
You probably saw that Joe rogan talked to elon musk and made about ten pieces of news. One of them is a Joe rogan,
shot his bow and arrow at the sight of a cyber truck, and it did not penetrate it, but I'm told if it had been a normal car that that both from the distance was very close would have gone right through a door of a normal car which has got an impressive. I had no idea that arrow could be that powerful, but apparently as powerful as a gun.
At a short distance now the interesting thing is that the glass windows or not bulletproof, so, as we learn says, you're gonna have to die
If somebody's socially at your car you're still going to have to duck because it will break the window now they could have bulletproof glass, but it'll be so thick. That elon says it's too hard to make it go up and down. So that's not an option really is an option if you don't want to
Windows them, but most interesting thing in my opinion, that must said was about george soros and these
the george soros at a troubling childhood and that might contribute to the fact that, at least by his actions says
it would appear that he hates humanity, because his actions are so so anti human that maybe as something louis upbringing and to which I say I like it. I like the line of thinking, but there is a problem with it.
Which may or maybe a solvable problem, but why is it son exactly on the same page,
his son would have been raised in a privileged upbringing. So if somebody's bad childhood is what makes them hey, humanity wouldn't say Alex soros like I was in charge at the moment the son of George soros, wouldn't the son have had more like an ideal operating and have no interest in destroying humanity. He looks like
is having a good time. So, whatever the truth is here- and this might be right, maybe musk might be exactly right. He just he's a he's, a broken man with a hatred of humanity, but I usually think that's not the case,
My best I've told by the way I must also says he thinks resources senile. So I think that's the better
Why should I say you want to see a couple of different possible explanations for what appears to be anti humanity actions the example would be funding prosecutors who don't want to prosecute crime, and my first, my first.
This will be just a speculation or it would be a theory. I guess so. It's not based on facts. There could be some intelligence and some country that, as an intelligence group that controls soros, so maybe it's just controlled by some foreign entity.
their wants, the united states to be destroyed, in which cases just doing what he asked to do, for whatever reason to stay alive or to stay rich. Maybe they have some blackmail on them.
but he acts like somebody who's controlled by an enemy, because what he does so dangerous to america is one possible.
The other possibility is that he doesn't exactly know what he's doing
as a sprawling empire and he hasn't been paying attention and when people talk to him, when people talk to him, they say some version of everything's great. Your money is going to these great causes, you saving the world and then he doesn't red, maybe newspapers.
I have bad articles about him. So maybe he just never sees the other argument and he's told by his people who are receiving his money and what receive more of it and you're doing great do some more of this and that he gets lots of pass on the back.
And he feels like he's really helping the world, but maybe he lives such a small world at the moment, because he's a certain age they just kinda doesn't know what's going on, it seems like it, it seems to me like he is not aware of it.
Now that would also explain why his son would not be able to change the boat, because the dad presumably still has its full authority to fire you son. It could be that the sun's just wait for the dad to die and then he's gonna reverse some of the worst parts of the fathers of wisely, but you bet you Alex might now again. This is just speculation,
I have no english lady. What but there's either something about blackmail, something about
the something about what information he receives verses. Well, you receive something like that, but I don't quite by the bad childhood explanation, because it would seem just as likely that the bad childhood toward want him to be a celebrity and do the right things unless he thinks he is
which would be the information problem, so it don't, but it was interesting speculation and I would love to
see somebody set his son down and asked the following questions: what's going on, it looks like your father is trying to destroy civilization. How can you explain it I'd love to see that interview? That's never gonna happen.
as musk pointed out, the two biggest donors to Democrats were george soros, who arguably it looks like he's, trying to destroy civilization, know Joe,
That's a less like a serious conversation by serious people that he may want to destroy civilization as the biggest stone
Now I don't know that he wants to destroy civilization, but its assent.
This question esprit, scary,.
Second biggest donor was sandbag unafraid man, basically.
So those are their two biggest donors. So if you're wondering hey, why is everything fucked up? Well, maybe it's because the two biggest donors are, one is seems to be an evil genius, crook and the other one seems to be a demented evil genius billionaire. Maybe if you follow the money, it gets you to exactly where we are, which is a.
really corrupted government that of no use to the people. I had some new science and the
allegory of hey? You should just ascot you to save some time and it turns out two separate studies, one in gratitude and one on empathy. So I guess empathy could reduce depression as well. One study says so thinking about other people and caring about them
Could make you less depressed? Do you know? Who else knew that I did
that didn't you all know that
I thought I was sort of obvious I've. Always in fact I may have told you this
ass before, I guess all of my gilbert S, career.
when I was getting more than I need it for myself. Whenever I had a bad day, I would just randomly do something awesomely good for somebody else and I always cheered on
one hundred percent of the time at work. I just pick somebody and say you know what today's your lucky day and just made somebody happy like in some substantial way, and oh my god,
good. So they can save a lot of money. In this study. Just asked me
doing it for years it works every time and I've recommended it to people and when they try it works. Everytime. You really didn't need to study that here's another one of gratitude can make you healthier again asked me. I could have told you that in fact, most self help gurus could have told you that the gratitude is a very healthy mindset it's going to make,
They work better and it does so. What do Gretel gratitude and empathy having common gratitude and empathy.
it's about getting you out of your own head, and maybe you think about the well being of other people and the
you were they haven't you, your life, the gratitude.
So getting out of your own head is? Is the track for not being depressed
Why is there a gigantic mental health problem in the united states? At the moment,
well, I would say again: you don't need to do a big, expensive study. Let me explain it here: is your screens
When I was a child, human beings were human beings. If what, if I watch tv you that was just television that wasn't really my life, it was just a thing.
It's something, but if your life is mostly online, your friends are online everybody's online or those people real kinda. I mean I mean you, you know they're real people, but do they have the same effect on you in terms of
let's say gratitude and empathy as somebody in the real world. My guess is now.
gases that are social life has turned into a
social life in which gratitude and empathy are hard to express because you're, just people and screens.
The people were in the room with you. You can have gratitude and empathy just naturally easily. So,
but being something about how much we see people in person they make sense, and we know that loneliness of course works against you happiness.
So a lot of it is just very obviously screens. You can see that the graph of mental illness spikes exactly one smartphones came into the market is pretty obvious at this point
what it is, but more generally having a good attitude about life is good for your health and your mental. Well being so, no spices
Well, it's almost one year ago, gotta seems longer.
Since elon musk bought the twitter platform and altered it at the ex think about what people said when he bought it, it's the last day of twitter twitter's going to fail. He has destroyed this valuable asset. What's the latest update the latest update? Is it might be? Cash positive in twenty twenty
we're in the engagement is higher than ever and he has driven out the government oversight on the platform which was essentially not essentially, it was directly government blocking your free speech and when, when musk talks casually about how bad twitter was when he bought it and that basically it was a government oregon, and he says that the other entities that at least the social media he says, are just government organs that they can only do what the government tells them. They can do that. There's no free speech, though so he claims, and I think this is true- that the only place free speech exists
amex. I think that's exactly true. There's the only place free speech exists as an x, and you know, unless limited by you can't go too far, but I don't think that sorting is alright.
so it s kind of amazing, and I like to take a little bit of every day to just thank you, learn musk for what I,
Leave was primarily a unselfish act,
please make some argument. Well, you you go. I say with rich people: well is
is where you go or whatever I know, he's a different kind of cat. It does look like he did this for the world and it worked And- and I do believe that as well, you know history is strange- cause the winners, write it and all that, but I think this is one of the biggest events in american history musk, getting the government out of x to me this is this is on a level with the boston tea party. You know this is right up there with the most.
More than things that have ever happened in the republic? So thank you. Thank you alone musk. He has an interesting explanation of why twitter became a toilet and he says it's geographical.
That several cisco has always been servan, oddball culture,
but usually was geographically constraints. You could go to san francisco and it would be some weird people there.
And then you go home, didn't bother anybody that they could be weird in san francisco and you can go to your house and not of any of it, but once
Twitter started eirik locally, which everybody does they turn this niche or nation
philosophy into a worldwide phenomenon through their control, the algorithm,
That is where it all went well. So, in the old
is that in the old days they would have just stayed localized and nobody would have known the difference. It's a fascinating way to explain it. You know all these things could have ten different explanations depending on what frame you're decide to look at, but as
the interesting frame that technology allowed pockets of craziness in this weird way, just because the company was centre, there should become worldwide. It's good explanation.
I say yours news about tiktok: barely
publicans are renewing calls for a doug ban because it turns out.
That, oh, oh, didn't see this coming a total surprise.
Who could have ever seen this coming there
there's something really important. Let's say the Gaza situation that tik tok. I because the study showed that the pro israel messages were about one tenth of the scale of the problem or the anti israel mass. Just it was enormously balanced against Israel wishes against the united states in this particular case enormously in normal,
Now, let me ask you: do you think that happened, and so do you think the tick tock owning chinese people said you knowledge?
Let this play out. Oh
surprise, lots lots of different people like the palestinian side. Now, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly what I've been warning congress about.
For five years, for five years, I've been saying stop talking about the data security problem. That is a diversion and might also be a problem, but it's a diversion. The real problem is the heat button that china or tiktok.
Owned by china can push one button that is literally labelled heat which they had met. They have their can boost any message. You don't think they push thereby did. Do you think that china sat there and thought themselves? You know
If we did push this button, it would be really really bad for america and they probably wouldn't do anything about it and it would be perfect crime because nobody knows you push the button and then you think that they are that conversation with themselves and decided not push the button.
That is the way that you think they didn't push the button, because all that would be basing things now now,
Exactly what I told you would happen if you allow Tik tok.
It is the user interface too young
fines in america and other places but
american minds. The young ones under some age are completely controlled by tiktok and so
china built a user interface for a young people's braves. You know the future of the world future of our country anyway, and then they
put a button on there and they even told us. We have a button. The sea users.
is that all the young people's brains in america by you
We don't like to push it for any bad reasons. Ah, oh fine! Thank goodness! You have that button that you could simply push and it would change the world in a way. That's good for you and bad for your enemies, but you're not going to push it right. Do promise pinky swear, don't push it
That's it. That's, amazingly, that's a situation where, if another, some republicans saying, I wonder, I won,
If this is a problem of water again, may I say
They should have asked for
pretty much all the eyes and politics. You should just ask me. I told you this was coming.
It is not, and I also make a further prediction that tik tok has sufficient control of our congress and sufficient control. The Democrats insufficient control of our news sources, that this won't change. My prediction is: congress will not ban tik tok tiktok already owns congress.
That last that's where it looks like to me to me. It looks like it was a battle and congress lost and there's no way they can reverse it, because the yeah, the the tentacles, are already around him.
All right I can,
hold myself, and I can't believe I did it when math.
Parry tragically died in his hot tub. It took it every bit of myself control not to tweak the word fence
I mean I I had to just like pry my phone out of my own hand, because it's the obvious, the obvious thing that makes you die suddenly, if you're an addict, is you got some
is all that you didn't know your again, but it turns out. He had none in the system. There was no sensible in the system
so? I'm I'm chastising my imaginary self. They couldn't control myself and I said that when it would have been really inappropriate intact, even say it, but god I wanted to do so.
Me, but we so we don't know. If I had to guess well our gaps, I guess a lengthy process,
lay, so I guess there's a little, but it still some mystery of what what it might have been overrun with switzerland. They ve built what they call suicide pods. It's like a coffin sized pod with a glass stop in getting this.
Ready for assistance, suicide and they'll just turn up the they fill with nitrogen gas, which rapidly lowers action levels causing as user to die.
I assume this is painless, otherwise it wouldn't exist. Now, of course, the the opponents say, my god. This will be abused. Would you,
that will be abused and I won't just be people who were in desperate and of life situation, but that it would naturally slide down. Two people were just having a bad time in life,
So I tell you, I have very mixed feelings about it, number one
For thirty years, I have imagined the invention of this product pretty much exactly the way it exists. Except I didn't know a gas would be involved, although I thought it would be used for murder. I thought it'd be
Moreover, murder device here will tie your hands and put you in this pod and next thing. You know you'll be dead, so
Mixed feelings about it because, on one hand it looks like you will definitely be abused, no doubt about it.
but you know what else is abused. Everything food is abused like the most innocent thing in the world is our food. We all abuse our food until we're, like,
I am from food eating too much food. So there's nothing. We don't abuse. So, on one on one hand, you can say: hey it's going to lead to all these abuses. On the other hand, you can say well, if it's a free country at the moment, this is only in switzerland, but if it were,
I can easily say yeah. It's totally going to get abused, so are guns so as food, so is alcohol or cigarettes all legal, all abou. Just so. The fact that something is abused to the point of death is not a stopper. I mean if we were going to be objective about it,
it wouldn't be a stop or for any product. So what would it be abuse? Yes,
specially yeah things get worse in the future economically as
but on the other hand, I really really want this option for myself, although I don't like the claustrophobia right before you die of being a little little casket like I don't like that part, but I certainly liked the option to be able to go out on my own terms,
so you have mixed feelings about that. There's another one should have s, got climate scientists, roger roger appeal, key junior,
It's long been on the side of let's say skepticism so skepticism, and I don't believe you say that there is no connection between c o two and warming. I don't think he's that kind of skeptic. He was a skeptic on the models. So that's the part, I know he's a skeptic about, so I have
less less knowledge about what else we might be sceptical about, but he has no other. I guess he gave a speech or something recently and he talked about all the problems with them.
Rules, but here's one that makes the most difference so
lay there are several models that people can use to do their additional science and say if this changed what would happen? We study this variable if you had this variable to the existing model, what happens
So I guess I've got some yo a low, medium and high models that are most often used in the worst case, best case every skis, and
Which one do you think they usually use to show the effects of their science? If you said they use the worst case scenario, you'd be right to know why they do that, because if you make a paper or discovery which shows the most cataclysmic eventual outcome, you get you're more likely to get funded, because that makes it more important and you're more likely going to get attention anymore
likely to get promoted and more likely to get more grants. So, basically, the system is designed to incentivize people to always chased the worst case scenario.
And the worst case scenario could happen, but especially the least likely outcome somewhere in the middle of the usual. So there it is again now eight brag now
love to brag, but everybody who ever had experience doing financial modeling or any kind of modelling in the future. We all knew this light. We all,
they're all models their predict. The future are just financially driven period. There is no exception to that. If it comes out of a corporation
their show you something because I want my money. If I produced a number as part of my analysis, of what the financial long term effect of some decision would,
which was my job I knew I was just doing what my boss didn't mean to do to support what he will already wanted to do. I everybody knows that this is common knowledge, so.
Did. I did. I need to be told by an expert who knows a lot about it, roger Pilecki junior did he need to tell me that the financial models are being gained and are not any kind of indication of reality. He did not need to tell me that that was obvious super obvious from day one I've. Never I've never have a different opinion. The first time I ever heard that there are long term data predictions of me. I just laughed there's nobody who does this work or any version of this work? We think you can even do that. There's no such thing as predicted the future about anything.
Anyway, so just asked me next on the wall street journal has a story
says the rate of babies dying in the: u S rose significantly for the first time in two decades, while increasing represent from
we too want, while so just recently last twenty it up to twenty four to begging.
in babies dying in the united states according to the latest federal government, so
Thus I like real news to you- do you think, is real news.
Aid of babies dying in the? U s rose significantly for the first time in two decades,
the headline was directly over the graph. This shows the rate of death and the graph showed that is one of four times recently that subject so the graph proves
The deadline was false and then there was still an article about it after the graph does look.
I I don't think I misread the graph. Can somebody confirm I mean I just did a fact check on this. This direction is down right. Where I'm pointing. Can you confirm that? That's downright? Am I confused about that? Yeah? Okay, that's down now! Here's the part where I'm confused about is this direction up? I think it is so if they had a graph that had substantial portions of it that were pointing in this direction,
Is that up or down I'm forgetting again? I was up it's up and was it in the last twenty years? Yes, all four of the optics wouldn't last winter years. What kind of story is this.
Am I confused, or did they literally write a headline that didn't match the graph, their own data? I dunno what's going on, I'm just actually confused by it, but don't leave data. Don't believe news, don't don't believe data, here's! What I think happened you ready for this, I think, is cognitive blindness, where smart people, even groups of smart people, can be blinded to the obvious because there's something else going on. Basically, that's how all my magic tricks work. A magic trick takes your brain to the place where you can solve the trick
you're, your brains work, another on problem here is rising, and this is just wild speculation. There we ve been served up for three weeks now stories about dead babies because of the Gaza situation. Right,
Every every hour, on the hour for three weeks, I've heard about a dead baby.
So then some data comes out this as there's an uptick in dead babies in the united states. Could that blind the people involved,
to the point where they could only see the data as more dead babies, because I ve been fed mordred babies, more dead babies, highest rate of dead baby somebody, their babies out that babies that babies their davies- oh here's, some data, sure enough uptake, indent babies right the story
Right the story, and did they actually write the story while looking at the data, they showed that there was no uptake. That was unusual. There is an object, but not an unusual does actually possible in the in the hypnotist world.
If you had a hypnotist filter on the world.
I am also less weapon, I'm say you will be perfectly within leave.
Normal realm of behaviour that somebody would be cognitive, we blinded and not even notice, that the grafton matches.
One now I'll be embarrassed by tomorrow, because by tomorrow the wall street journal will explain why. I read the graph wrong, but at the moment I'm just confused.
so you should wait for the other side of the story. Is this is sort of the documentary problem? You're hearing me me make a claim, but you have not heard the wall street journal says scott you're looking at the graph wrong, or maybe you interpreted it wrong or something so just consider. I could be wrong about this. Wait till you hear the other side,
There is one right. I saw your lawyer for some of the january six people, somebody you.
By a shipwrecked crew and the x,
is barely lawyer with some j six clients, and he makes this claim here she makes this claim. I have two new clients charged with jason,
crimes, neither when inside the capital,
there are no allegations of any interference with the police,
aware of any previous cases where defendants were charged just for being present outside the building and watching.
if anyone knows of such a case mentioned in the comments, is this.
A new standard for the department justice. There are thousands of potential defended still on charge now question number one. Is this an accurate description of the situation?
Remember this is coming from a lawyer who is a proponent for clients.
So the lawyers gonna put it in the most minimalistic description of what happened, but
Let's just say that the main claim it is true that they did
go inside and they didn't interfere with police. What could they have been doing that would get them charged? What
You can't you can't be in the general area of other people doing a crime inciting because they were saying that
well. If it's inciting it's gotta, be everybody I'll tell you.
Interpretation of this is that Democrats mostly are looking for any excuse to increase the number of republicans reporting in jail, which I call hunting this
to me. It looks like law, fair hunting, where there are literally looking for republicans that they can jail to make sure that republicans stay in line in the future. I think it's not so much about punishing anybody
is about creating a standard of fear, so that republicans will know that if they get
if you're anywhere near a line they're going to fucking jail. Do you know what I consider my biggest risk in my life? I consider my biggest risk being jailed for a crime. I did not commit it's. Twenty twenty three in america, literally my biggest risk, and there are plenty of things that can be risky, but my biggest risk is going to jail for a crime. I didn't commit that's
thus reality of america in two thousand twenty three- and you know if you've watched mike's a bitch tweeting lately he would be an obvious target for the bad guys to want to invent a crime and charge it with it. I think they would be sorry if they did that that that would be way more pushback than than they understand, but I think we're all we're all at risk. At this point. Anybody who's talking about the news and the way, the Democrats alike. I think we're all at risk.
that's america! Twenty twenty three! I asked on the x platform. Can you describe
the way in the world that the national debt could be paid off
you're not running as fast as we wish? We can towards certain. Do.
nobody could do it.
but I saw one suggestion that made me think it might be possible.
Now I'm going to go to the whiteboard white board and explain maybe,
the best case scenario for paying off the debt. Now there there are things that you can do in the devil small they. You can't do when the debt is enormous and growing enormous rate, the normal way. If you ve got a crushing debt or just that in general, you either have to create money from nothing.
You have to create money from nothing. Do this or inflated away and the
basically three ways: three ways to get rid of a debt and by the way this is my first draft, so sort of a first
bake. So if anyone knows more than I do about this topic, you tell me to add something or subtract something right.
So we're we're just getting the conversation go. There is I'm doing this by the way.
I've seen no serious person this
how you even could possibly like. Even in the best case scenario, how can we get off this trained doom, which is the debt I've?
Nobody do of you as anybody hurt anybody serious describe any scenario:
Well, we're not doomed from debt write. You haven't heard.
So I'm gonna give you what I think is the first. The first possibility, I think, is possible, but boy would it take some things to go right? I think they might action
But you're the options there could be some kind of weird crypto trickery by trickery.
I mean something that I can't quite imagine and I would know how works, but the basic idea is that crypto can create,
an artificial value from nothing so that
the only thing I'm starting with we ve got this huge debt and we don't have the main player. But what if we just invent,
bunny now you say yourself, bus scott, that creates ten new problems. Maybe-
but I'm just saying, is: is there any play, not one that I can quite describe, but is there anything you could do that would one time only now, here's the key one time only create a bunch of money and pay off the debt. Is there any way to do it
Now, before you say, a ha ha is obvious that it won't work. I would
I would bet there, you know less need not more if you believe it's obvious, there's no way to do it. I can't I can't take you seriously ill
I'm not saying I know how to do it. I'm saying that,
after literally, creates money that people accept out of nothing, so maybe there's a play there. I just don't know how I would do it
alright here's the ethics, I believe the data is too big to inflate away, meaning you could you could try to inflated away, but remember it's growing two trillion a year. How much inflation would you need to inflated away? I believe the answer is too much, meaning that that rate of inflation would just destroy the country. Basically, your you're state
as of living. She would just go to crap now. So can we all agree that inflating it away? If that's the only thing, you're doing won't work. Do you think that's true? Now, in the past a smaller debt you could actually inflate away. In fact, that's where that's where we were at a few years ago.
This can be inflated way, so the other way to go would be a massive improvement in gdp.
Normally our gdp grows. What due to four percent a year
that is nowhere
nowhere near enough to pay them that, not even in the same universe, you need something like, and this is the sort of the economist off the top of my head is feels like you need something like a very rapid forty percent increase
in our gdp. How many of you would accept that as server a ballpark for just talking about the topic of forty percent increase
Is there anything in the world? They will make the economy increased. By that rate
war. Wars are wrong. Answer. Does work raise more debt,
grace alot of activity, but also creates more debt. Here's what I think
and this is partly a borrowed idea- suppose spoke.
You get a president tromp or our president ramos swami I'll. Just take two republicans as my example. Both deal makers both understand capitalism. Both know how to get rid of regular
since both know the value of fossil fuels in the short term as other, basically the right right people for the job. Imagine then coming in.
and doing something so radical that the cost of energy drops to almost trivial that possible. Absolutely you just remove the prohibitions against small nuclear reactors.
one, you just say: look we're not even going to have a state standards, there's going to be a federal standard, as can be friendly to the industry, because we don't have an optional. So you build a bunch of nuclear reactors. Is a risk
Boy, but is way better than the risk of just spend the yourself into certain new. If those are you two options, you gonna take a little extra risk on your nuclear development, because, even if you get a melt down on a small react
It's gonna be way less problem then spend the yourself into oblivion, so
given that energy is such a large portion of our total expenses. If you can just subtract that from our expenses,
Suddenly everybody has more money. That's a reverse inflation pro jp thing now is not just that reduces your current expenses. If you could take energy from its current current level to closer to zero, then there's a whole bunch of businesses that become economical. They could not have been done,
before, because it'll be too energy intensive one of them would be desalinization matched in the number of companies that would immediately go into the small nuclear reactor plus desalinization business. I mean that alone would be a trillion dollar business and it wouldn't be practical until you have that
powers, so imagine drilling like crazy. Getting rid of regulations. Building nuclear building ilan must says: if you do a,
hundred mile by one hundred mile solar facility. Is your power, the entire united states? Does anybody want to check his work?
does anybody want to take a chancellor, you got the numbers wrong. I don't think I've gotta go down that
What path and actually, I I do think, there's an argument there that if you listen to some of the critics will say you can't get there with solar, but I'd like to have that
conversation, but I'd also like to see robots, build facilities so because robots can do cheaper. So if you've got cheap electricity and energy, suddenly robots are way more practical, because the cost of your robot is probably going to be half energy cost and half material cost. You know at some point if you could take the half of the energy cost close to zero. Suddenly up and buying two robots. Elon musk said that he thought the tesla robots
there are already can be taught skills are, you can already teach him to fold the lottery and so that he may sell more of those, and anything else is doing bigger than tesla bigger than space x. I don't often at every bigoted space expert, so robots plus a I plus cheap energy, creates an industrial type revolution greater than anything we ve ever experienced yet, and there are probably two candidates who could give this world too.
and they're both republicans. There is no chance that a Democrat could ever pay off the debt, because democrats are limited in their options: they're not going to remove regulations, they're not going to do anything that hurts one blade of grass in the environment and they're not going to do anything that their base reflexively doesn't like, such as nuclear power. So there's no way that a Democrat can get you to anything. That's not total do, and there is a way- and I think it's a stretch honestly, this
well, this is easy. None of us predictable, but is there? Is there yeah? We could all have solar roof tiles and be powering our own homes and making her own water yeah. The only thing left is good waste treatment, which I think will turn into some kind of like laser beam that turns all of your waste and to see to that gets used in the steam engine or something but that's kind of that's gone. Alright. Is this the best explanation of debt repayment options you've ever seen? It is isn't it if I saw one person say now. If there's somebody who did a better job of explaining the options, can you send me a link because I have never seen one I've never seen anybody get close? Now when you say it's not the best description, this is because the the crypto part which part of you complaining about just the crypto part, because the rest is very ordinary. Everybody would agree that we can't inflate it away. Everybody would agree that more gdp would work. Everybody would agree that more energy would be good. Everybody would agree that robots are good right. So it's it's really. The crypto part that you don't like write crypto equals tulips. Well, here's something! I think you don't understand about crypto. The united states could make any crypto immediately valuable by saying they would accepted for tax payments on day. One
they can make any crypto valuable, because the only thing that makes a crypto valuable if somebody's willing to take it as their payment is the united states says, will accepted for tax payments you're there. They want you as permanent value and won't won't become less or alive jessica. So, for those of you who think the crypto option is magic and crazy, you might be right, but you cannot deny that it is a way to create money out of nothing. It might have some other problems with it. Alright,
Well, I thought I'd take a run at that remember. This is a first draft. What what are the things I think I can add as value to the public conversation is when the public is not being served. I think I do a good job of explaining what we haven't been told.
I think that's my greatest value is that I do a good job of telling you what they haven't, told you and how that's important and you'd better find that out so with,
that we are letting all of our politicians off the hook. Let me ask you this question this. This is going to blow your fucking mind. Why watch your head just explode? She watch this number one. Would you agree that our debt problem probably is our biggest one.
when you re that first of all, this is of no scares you buy as some other things are. You think you're bigger problems, while, if you think now.
And that would suggest you know that there is some way to pay it off, but you don't.
Others, one problem we have where we cannot conceive of a solution. There is about
if the problems we have, that could become really bad, but we can totally conceive of solutions. For example, the border is open. Can you conceive of a solution? Ah, let me see, ah close the borders
Yes, we might have a world war. Can you conceive of some way to avoid it? Yes, negotiating the usual stuff.
now. I would agree with you that some surprise thing like a nuclear war could happen. Suddenly anything can happen.
But there's only one thing we have where the straight line is to doom and that's the debt, the debt, because this going up to two trillion year. If the debt we're just stable, then I wouldn't worry about it. We've just inflated way, but is also going up two trillion here. So is unsustainable and growing quickly. That's definitely the biggest risk by far that's the biggest risk,
That's my opinion. I years apart is gonna blow your mind. Now. Remember all the news you ve watched and try to remove
any time that a top politician was asked. This question.
How would you handle the debt? I remember once I can't think of it once
do. You know why they don't ask that question
don't ask it on the right and they don't ask around the left. Do no, I probably because the the reporters don't understand the topic
your average report would not really quite another
and that works, because some people make the mistake of saying national debt is like personal debt. If anybody makes that analogy like if you bought this house- and you know the interest rate- was this and you made this much money? What would you do?
Well, that's not the right model. Anybody who thinks that a mortgage of your house is a good thing to learn about how to handle the national debt. You should immediately stop talking to them because they don't understand the basics of anything. So you've got reporters if they're, not
business reporters the regular generically borders. They don't know that I asked the question or
wouldn't understand the answer? Conspiracy answer a politician will give you must politician
Mr Republican, how are you going to pay off the debt? Well, we've got to get these omnibus spending bills under control, and then what does reporter say? Well, how will you do that? Well, you know we'll try to break them up the speaker of the house, blah blah blah, and then the reporter goes to the next question. Do you think that breaking up our bills into individual spending bills is going to solve the national debt, not even
klaus is not even in the it's not even in the zip code of a solution is simply better than what we are doing. Is it's a small tweak to improve the quality of the budget?
it's not going to solve the national debt or even close
but a serious believes I would but I'll betcha the republicans get away with saying that about the report
stop asking questions when they say? Oh, we ve gotta caught budget. There is no way to cut the budget enough to pay off this debt. You that you have to cut it like seventy percent or something give it you'd have to give up the military right you're not going to cut the budget enough
So we have reporters dont know have asked the question. Would you agree with that? Our reporters do not know had asked the question, and you have politician
it's who, on the democrat side apparently have never been asked. Let me say it again: I don't think the Democrats ever been asked. What would they say because democrats can't say we're going to reduce
social services and if they say we're going to reduce the military. Well, just ask him to show you the math. If that doesn't work out either, if you want to actually have a national defence.
So we have a reporter problem, primarily the reporters refused
Now what is the important stuff, so it tik tok. They don't know the influences the important thing as opposed to data security, so because our reporters can tell the story right, it gives congress away to ignore it, because our reporters don't tell the story right right gives them a free fass if nobody's reporting that correctly, they just killing north, that's what they do with tiktok. So nobody reports the national debt story accurately or even killed
cause? Nobody knows how to even ask the question of a politician, and if they did, they would allow the politicians to get away with ah yeah yeah we gotta we're going to have to have a national conversation about the spending. What how's that gonna help? Yes, we are going to have to cut one of these big expenses that won't help it's a complete abdication of responsibility by the press
and it allows the politicians need escape began. Can so here's what I like to see I'd like to see the lake come up with a specific plan.
Even if it's a longshot for solving the debt, and I think he could make a story the vacant
That would say what we're doing with energy and what we'll do the new tech and robots and ai and quantum computing and he's going to have to make an argument that we need a second industrial revolution. We need to bring our manufacturing back from china in the smartest way, not in a complete way, but in the smartest way, so that we're manufacturing the things
We care about pharmaceuticals in particular, and we need to figure out how to build our own chip factories or not, depending on the one tie with taiwanese factory by the way did on the story that the biggest chip maker, the Taiwan semi conductor in time
the one that were totally dependent on the entrepreneur for that tried to build it in texas and was rejected. He couldn't builded in texas, so he went to where he could go.
And they went to taiwan. Man is out on us that is so
so on ass god, wanna fuck up that there's like a fuck up of the last two hundred years. Let let things like I go: restart the big essential chip company in another country that we have to protect. I guess it couldn't to ban a more fucked up situation if it had gone to any other country, would bend sub optimal?
When I went to taiwan right, I mean it might have gone to Gaza like is or any other way. We can make them more fucked up so
a lot of things. A vague could make a good story for a solution. Trump could do it too.
Trump likes to keep things a little simpler. So I don't know that this is his ideal approach
and he's and and trump also is a little less facil about the new technology. So you know, Vache is going to understand the ai plus quantum computing changes, everything trump. You might have heard that story, but I doubt that would become part of his narrative, which is a little bit more futuristic than trump usually talks, but to be fair when trump talks about building these new cities from scratch. I think that the new technologies plus the new cities, could be the biggest boom in building an industrial. Everything could solve housing by bringing the costs down, there's just a whole bunch of ways that trump could use a real estate and focus to fix the economy, but he would fix energy first trump would fix energy, because that's a big part.
The building and the construction puzzle. Yeah trump is actually very good about talking about. You know the golden future, but I don't know if he could quite get a I robots and quantum computing right. The vacant.
there's a reason, unbiased or young right. It makes sense to be a little biased towards the young at the moment, so
you that do you know that the politicians who are driving up our death, the most powerful politicians.
are the ones who are about a year away from being dead themselves? If you are a year away from being dead, do you think you should be in charge of driving up the debt for the united states, for the next
hundred years and you're going to be dad of the year and you're in charge of deciding what the rest of us will do for the next hundred years now I saw some pushback on that cause. I said that an axe and the pushback
was prescott all of these ancient people. They ve got kids, if god grandkids, of course they care about them. So they care about the future as much as anybody does
to which I replied. Have you met people
spain, something about people, they really do make selfish decisions and they really do follow the money, even if it's bad for their grandkids. That's people now I'd love to tell you that there are people making the grand kid decision and there are, but I don't think that's what drives,
Politicians, I think they say to themselves I could try to solve and unsolvable problem and fail, which is how to get the debt down or
It just voted for one more omnibus bill and I'm gonna be dead in a few years anyway. It was never going to come back to bite me
and then they say well, grandchildren will work, it out know life's never been easy. Grandkids will work it out, one way or the other, so I think it does make a big difference that the people are voting on the debt for one hundred years old. I suggest the following fix that the only members of congress who can vote on the debt long term debt have to be under fifty years old and if you're over fifty, you can't you can't vote on deck around the kind of spending bill and then I would say public,
we're free to elect anybody? You want, if you'd, like your representative to be over fifty just know that your estate will not be involved in any of the budget decisions. They can talk about it, but they don't get to vote.
Because letting people who won't be here to pay the debt decide. How much that you have is a fuckin stupid system and if you think that have their them, having grandkids is is gonna, save you, that's nice people work they just don't. I wish
but they don't so they'll never happen, but might be the only way to survive,
there's another study that says a tour of the things that predict a marriage lasting. There are two factors,
just found, one is that the man has high verbal intelligence. Does that surprise you
if the man has high verbal intelligence. What goes along with high verbal intelligence? Is there anything else correlated with that
the sides? Long marriages, I see the suggestion of a huge penis, but I don't think that's what I was going for later now. Let's see if there is anything else about the second,
does suggests along marriage see. The second thing is that
man and the marriage is able to buy new and more expensive cars. There also signals longevity so
what what? What would having the ability to buy new expensive cars
in common with a man who has high intellect verbal abilities. Could it be that money makes people stay,
the person with the high I q and I'm verbal ability, probably as a good job. That's what they're gotcha if there be able to buy new cars, probably got money good job and women like to be in stable situations. Of course everybody does, but the researchers said at least the carport. Yes has something to do with it: signalling higher social status money.
The car is just a signal of money: it's not the car, although women do like women do see there mate and the major car as their accessories by the way. This is one of the best ways to think about this,
I know people and I used to be one are dumb. I was when I was young. I used to think that I would not be judged by the quality of my automobile. I know pretty stupid. I used to think women aren't going to care they're going to care about my wonderful personality, my my empathy, my conversation style, my ability to engage things. You know, maybe my my clever thoughts yeah, my haircut. I thought those are the things with
inflows win, but it turns out that your car to car and the the I've told you the story of how I learned that the hard way when I was in my twenties- I guess
the worst little you'll never get laid car in the world. I mean I'm not even can describe it, but it was sad.
but he would ever get in the car and thank you know I sure one
sex with the owner of this car a guarantee, and nobody ever had. I thought so one day when
Things were going a little bit better in my career. This is before dilbert, but yet my corporate career was advancing on time and I bought a very old bmw, but it was still a bmw and one day I pulled into the parking garage was brand new.
I want to get the opinion of some other people and my neighbor had a couple of girls were twins who happen to be hanging out in the parking lot.
And I do them pretty well cause. I lived right across the hall and I said to them that they noticed the new car and they said something I said alright. What do you think of the car and they're like? Oh, we love it. We love it and I said: do you think that women will like me better, because I have this car,
remember these, like nine year old, twin girls and the nine year olds said
oh yeah, yeah yeah, like their eyes, got big life force or no doubt about it.
I'm thinking it starts that early
the nine year old girls are completely aware that, if I don't have,
good car, I'm not getting any action,
I years old. They knew that and I want you once you understand, that your car is a reflection of the world.
It was in it like she's, not going to want to be painted with the embarrassment of your automobile, that the paint is falling off. But if you've got good cards like a good accessory and save for how you dress and how tall you earn.
We have arundel lesson. Yes, people are shallow, but you'll get used to it.
What is it
links the various groups on the left, the pro palestinian people,
with the climate people with the gay rights people with the indigenous rights people, etc.
Apparently, as some kind of intersectionality- and I was reading some tweets by Michael Nina, but one thing they have in common all of those groups that you would think would be completely different groups is
victim narrative and the oppressor is always the same person. It's always you know somebody white.
So everybody who is not a white person with money thinks that all of their groups have in common. If only if only there was white people would do something differently. Things would be better for all the rest of us
that's what they have in common, so to say that they are illegitimate would be an understatement. I I I guess, the u S is telling qatar cutter to give up their hamas leader who lives in luxury. In cutter, I would like to suggest the following:
Technique for getting that guy, I think Israel and or the united states in conjunction should say the cutter. This guy is dead. The only thing you have to decide is where he is when it happens, we're going to kill him and cutter if we don't have a choice and we're going to do it on tuesday. I think that's the way after play it, because as long as cutter thinks that this is a point of negotiation or that, maybe it won't happen, they're going to act that way you have to take away from them. Any
And this guy isn't going to die on tuesday, you have to say tuesday, he dies. The only question that we're asking you is wherever you want him to be. If you want
I want to be in one of your nicest high rise buildings. We are going to take him out there and it's going to be tuesday and there will be casualties now. I know cutter you're going to have to do everything you can to punish us back in whatever way you can and we're going.
Their punishment, but the only thing that's not gonna happen- is he's gonna be alive on Wednesday. The only thing,
we can guarantee, you is he's gonna be dead, you only get to decide where athens and when not even when you get to decide what
So we'd like you to give him up, but if you want to just walk him out to the desert, where we can kill him, that would be great. But if you want him to be in one of your very expensive high rises in the middle of your main city, we'll do that too. On tuesday.
on fuckin tuesday. I don't see any other way and let you
now. This is something that you couldn't do under any other context than the october seventh horrors after those horrors, everybody knows you're not kidding right. If, if they thought you were bluffing they'd play it. That way, do you think Israel's bluffing? Would you think Israel was bluffing if they said we'll take out the two stories of that building and we're going to do it on tuesday and there's nothing? You can do about it and whatever you do to us, we'll take it now, they would mean it and I think they could do it says way I play I wouldn't I wouldn't act like maybe cutter as a choice. They only have a choice of where that. Ladies and gentlemen, this concludes the best live stream you'll see today and we'll talk lots more about other stuff and other times. I hope this was useful to you and what have mbs make. The call may be alright thanks for joining youtube. I'll talk to you tomorrow,
