It is good morning everybody and welcome the highlight of human civilization. It's called coffee was got atoms and I'm pretty sure, there's never been a better time in your life. If you'd like to take this experience up levels- and nobody can even understand well, are you ready for that is a cup or mug, or a glass of tank shells inside again to your jug or flask, or vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid. I do I like coffee. then join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine? That I think, makes everything better is called the simultaneous up. It happens now so, ah, and you notice, I made your day better without using AI,
Quantum computing or removing any easier to use their yeah. I did that. Well, here's a question for you in the mental experiment. You've probably seen old videos that have been restored of americans walking around the streets of la said, new york city in the early nineteen hundreds.
We've all seen those videos and we laugh because the people have there's like zero obesity, there's, no, obviously nobody, not male or female, not any age. No, obviously, now man I'm going to ask a very provocative question. Men have all those women that you saw walking around the nose. Nineteen hundreds photos or videos how many of them, or do you have sex with cats, all of them pretty much all of them. Alright, now men, men, who just said you would have sex with all of the women in the nineteen hundreds fast forward. In your mind, the twenty twenty three christmas, which yourself in the middle of the mall, whatever is your closest mall. Now, in your mind, walk through the mall and look at all the people, men and women. Now ask yourself what percentage of the women in the mall when you have sex with voluntarily do percent ten percent. I present I'm just going to put a hypothesis.
Also there there might be a reason that heard that the population isn't growing as fast as they used to. Maybe it's just really really obvious now, so that's just one problem. I believe we are less attractive to Egypt. I believe that's just a fact, but on top of that haven't we also become because we all have rural social media bubbles we can get into haven't. We all become more different than we've ever been. I feel like the average guy in nineteen hundreds they're, all about the same, the average woman either all about the same, but today you know you're into birdwatching and I'm into quantum computing and like we. We just don't have enough in common because wherever riches of experiences,
we have the pernicious saw their pretty obvious reasons why things are going negative on population there's a viral were story on acts. Now some young white kid who got a fourteen sixty on his essay tears but could not get accepted at cornell despite out, and you skipped a grade and legacy in some extra curricula it was good but, as other people pointed out, fourteen sixty isn't really good enough to get into cornell it wouldn't matter what color you are well actually does. I suppose, if you were a a group, they were recruiting. Fourteen sixteen would be enough, but it's worth pointing out that fourteen sixty, I would be at the low end of anybody who even applied
They will be in the lowest twenty five percent of anybody. You even apply. So I don't know if that story is really bad discrimination or just it's hard to get into cornell. It gets a little biddable.
Here's a question I asked an annex: does Tucker carlson keep saying that there's something real about these aliens and that reports he doesn't even tell his wife is too disturbing and there's a spiritual dimension to it. Now he's not very clear about what those spiritual dimensions if he, if he has any clarity on that, but I would think there's an obvious skeptical problem here, which is what, if we find out that life on earth, absolutely one hundred percent came from aliens from another planet, intentionally seeding us with life here. So I'm going to give you just a mental experiment that I gave to people in x if you knew with one hundred per cent. Certainly now I accept that there's no such thing as one hundred per cent, certainly, which is why this is a just a mental experiment. Just a mental experiment
but if you can have a hundred percent, certainly the life on earth came from an alien planet and it was intentional. Would you continue believing in your holy books now keep in mind? That was still allow you to believe in god, because in that case, god might have greeted the allies. So the first thing you should know about my question on x is that it was an pc trap. You not the anticipated trappers and then DC trap is. What do you say something to you now, a certain percentage of the population will have to respond in an exact going away, for whatever reason was boring thing they can say so because it was a trap. I put my question stipulated that could have created the aliens you knew I put that in their because a hundred percent of the time, if you say that maybe the aliens seated earth somebody will save us cut the sunday you having considered
obviously, a scot I dont think you ve, consider the possibly the aliens could have been created by god. Now, yes, I know you will say that a hundred percent of the time that this topic comes up, so I put right in the right very clearly stipulated god could have created the aliens and what did people say in the comments. Well, johnny, four cases: one would ask when the weather the aliens come from them are ultimately or one person is responsible.
and then amy is Obama responded now someone at the great the aliens or why not a god so yeah my npc tests, I sucked in a bunch of embassies with then revealed themselves, was a really good form of swimming for no good form of exercise and swimming soylent green, the matrix and those are all the things the npc say anyway. The point is that sixty three percent of people said that they found out for sure that their religious holy books were completely made up. It wouldn't change their faith, even if they knew their faith wasn't real. They said they wouldn't change their faith. Two thirds two thirds of people said they wouldn't change their religious beliefs. If they found out were certainly, this is the case with one hundred, and certainly they found out they weren't true, they wouldn't change their beliefs. Now, of course, was really happening here. Is people are reinterpreting the question so that they can jeep right?
Here's what they really did, how scott there's no such thing as one hundred percent uncertainty. In anything. I know that's why it's a mental experiment, you don't get to say, there's no such thing as the certainty that willow was one of the options favourite. I believe the answers. I believe that two thirds of people would keep their religion regardless, what they found out about it and if they found out aliens seeded the earth who they would just say well, but god made the aliens. So it's just new detail, but it would kind of make the old genesis story. A little less practical and then other people say both Scott. It's obvious that something had to create the universe. Does I think that makes sense.
Honestly, if anybody will agree with that, is it obvious that something created the universe, something that was not the universe created? That's obvious, that's ridiculous! It's not obvious is literally ridiculous. Is the opposite of obvious is impossible. Now the the the obvious answer is that there was always something here. The obvious answer is that time is not what you think, and there was no beginning was just there was just the noise thus far more likely than that. There was nothing and then something greater, because if there were something that graded it then what gave the thing a credit, so that'll be something here. So there there's no way
Nothing was here and then it turns into something because somebody who was not part of that nothing created or well enough about that and according to a rasmussen poll, was, if you guessed the answer this, can you guess the answer before I asked the question was: if you can do it, yup yup, you have the right answer as correct right answer is twenty four percent and a lot of people had the answer before they knew what the topic was. That's how smart my audiences yeah so twenty four percent is how many people believe the news media have given too much coverage of the hunter Biden, legal problems. Only four percent said that there's way too much, this hunter Biden, legal problem, stuff, there's way too much, but fifty one said the media hasn't. Given enough,
And also sixty percent was also rasmussen. Sixty percent of likely us voters believe the problem of bias in the news is getting worse and that's even worse than it used to be to even more people believe the news is getting worse as progress. I call that progress is that good for trump. If people think the news is less dependable. Yes, because that's trump's from the beginning, and there is news that apparently, people are developing new cases of chronic pain, the big problem with chronic pain. Just before I went live to the youtube people. I asked the people on the locals platform privately. If they had tried my test, I had a challenge the people will follow me and the local community.
Stop eating wait for two weeks and the idea was I don't Have any evidence that weed is bad for you, I'm not a scientist, I'm not a doctor, so don't take it from me. I'm just speculating that. Maybe people have different sensitivities to different foods and wheat would be what I'd try. First now does amuse the only thing that might be causing you some chronic pain. As I said, I suspect her aura food sources are essentially compromised. I don't think we have safe food or even close, not nothing, even in that category. Now you can you safely. If your diet, you know, without preservatives and a lot of chemicals, you don't do the process.
While some people have questioned whether our american bodies are handling the week. I dunno the answer that question. So I said why don't we do a little experiment, and so I asked the people how many of you would be willing to just give up wheat for a few weeks to see how you feel if you lose weight, see if anything's different, just as an experiment- and I asked just before I went- live on youtube and it was just a stream of people who had lost weight and feel better and lost chronic pain.
Now is our scientific now? Could it I'll be in our heads? Yes, so we could all be overheads, but I recommend this is a general system for your life. The system for your life is, you should continually experiment with adding foods, your diet and then do at near. Don't change much, except maybe one through the air and then also subtract subjects you you know what to subtract. Anything that looks like it might be all suspicious just see what happens if you feel better, keep doing it. As my advice, however, in the same article is said that these chronic pains and now surpassed diabetes and high blood pressure as Jan three, the three chronic problems. What are those these three things have in common? Maybe.
Actually depression to what do diabetes, depression, high blood pressure and chronic pain have in common, maybe I think inflammation, I think inflammation is probably the thing behind everything and flute so inflammations that the half answer the bigger answer is. I think this is all food. Where would you have as much high blood pressure if people were a good weight wouldn't be wouldn't even be close? Weight is very highly correlated about diabetes. That's food product pain, chronic pain that people didn't used to have probably food, probably about depression. Well, if you've got diabetes, bad blood pressure and chronic pain and you're overweight, you might not feel one hundred percent, so it's entirely
Possible that even in depression, as I correlation with your general health, which, as I coalition with what you eat so I'd, be looking at the food sources. Rfk Jr is right on about all that stuff. Here's something remember! I tell you that you don't understand any story until you know the players like who's married to who is related to and who used to work for whom who used to be who's boss, if you don't know that no only make sense. If you saw a story about the usa, the rolling stone publication. I said there there's some big lie about tesla and the more than two million tassels were being recalled because of some problem with the self driving system. What do you say to yourself, my god, I'm new to think twice before I buy a test cycle,
Based on this rolling stone report, I you're something they left out of the report. The so called recall is just an automatic software update that you don't have to do anything about this, probably already done they called it. A recall was just the software update The software update was something about being more in the face of the driver. In case they were using the automatic driving. It was more of a reminder to pay attention to the automatic driving if you haven't. If you have an accident.
Now what what part of that is? A national story that there was an automatic update, like the roses, have made their user interface a little bit better. That's what happened yet! Tesla improves their user interface automatically without any action by the by the one that got turned into by rolling stone. A big lie about tesla and a giant recall and they made a sound dangerous, I'm so here's the things you don't know about rolling stone. And how did I not write down who told me this damnit, I'm stealing this from somebody on the x platform and I did not write down who was alright while I apologize, but I'm going to still give you the contract. So this is not my original research or if somebody knows who I stole this from
I mean the comments. I tweeted it for years what we now you know was rolling stone, publication, its own bat, the prince gave me the eurogroup and their chairmen there's a sort of roger pesky AMOS. You, automotive and ski person was say the father of the person who earns rolling stone, we're gonna businesses, the father in our own, over two hundred car dealerships that compete with tesla. That's right. So the guy who's company owns rolling stone that guy's father is a major competitor to test. Don't you think I should have been mentioned in the story. It wasn't and then what about a rolling stone itself.
Rolling stone is a traditional publication. Who's a compete with competes with x right x is the publication that says the things like the rolling stone are obsolete and ridiculous and fake news, because it's obsolete and ridiculous and clearly famous now suppose you didn't know that suppose you read the story like it was just a story in the news. You would even think there's some wrong with the with vessel. In fact, if you go just like one level down vessels operating pretty well, they gave you an automatic update and made something better, though you're doing anywhere. The the the the media landscape is so slimy.
then, if you don't know these connection, is you just don't know? What's going on? You wouldn't know what their stories really about aid you wanna make a buck guest specifies, can a platform that lets you make one super easily then distribute it everywhere and even money all in one place for free, it's called spotify for bud gasters and here's how it works. Spotify for about gas useless, you recorded antipater gas rate from your phone or computer. So, no matter what your son of his like, you can start creating today, then he couldn't distribute repugnance to spot a fine and everywhere else, pod guess her video park s role so available and spot. If I was fond of five robotic asters, you can earn money in a variety of ways, including as pod gas subscriptions and best of all, this totally free would no catch. Ever since I first discovered spotify for pont gasters, my life has been easier and I've been making money as great features. So I highly recommended given to try download.
Spotify for podcasters app or go to w w w dot, spotify dot com, backslash podcasters, to get started. I hear something I loved when I woke up this morning, an ex a trending term was hoax. As you know, I am unhappy about that that the word hoax was trending. Here's why I'm happy so I go. I click on it to see. What is why that's trending and some people are talking about climate change being a hoax. Some people talk about russia collusion being a hoax. Somebody said something about. Healthcare is a hoax and they said the witmer, a kidnapping. Things was a hoax and somebody else said the january six insurrection was a hoax yeah. Here we go here, we go there. We go so that I am going to say that that this is a mike savage. You know with his movie host and I think he is the first person who, starting using that word in the political context, or at least his most influential with it. Now I adopted his word and I've tried to extend it, but it looks like it's entered the language
for the avalon. Would you agree? The fact that I was trembling and is trending across topics suggests that the that the frame that the news is basically a bunch of political houses and each one is alex in which you can explain the hawks and pretty bracelet is pretty easy to say what the houses which, in these cases it feels like winning. as soon as I saw that were there, and I realise that it is applied to all budget different topics that look like winning to me. There there's something as I now where, when somebody sees a story that looks sketchy. The word hoax comes to mind.
alina hubba, who is trump's, attorney and says that if trump gets elected, they're going to go deep and hard against the Democrats. Well I mean some could argue that that's already started in the senate hearing room. Anybody already happened in the senate hearing room yet somebody's going deep and hard against the Democrats. Okay, I look it if somebody gets banged in the
senate hearing room, I'm not going to let that go for at least three weeks. Three weeks is my minimum minimum level of joke window. After three weeks, I'm going to say this: it's little old server, Jesse's smell a smell to it. Now, as we talked about it too much, but for now oh his goal, it's one
So there's that now what do you think of the idea, though, that trump is going to go hard against the Democrats? If elected? Should they be saying that you think is good for trump to say or his proxies to say these going to guard against the Democrats is yours, my problem, I really think somebody does need to go hard against all the houses and the and and obviously the legal factory, but I dunno. If you say it, I dunno who saved up leaves
Is there a narratives that he is going to be an ass and everybody will die when his lacquer, so I dunno could go either way. I liked that, at least during the primary season, they're talking tough as the base wants to hear it, but maybe when it gets to the general, when you know when the nominations are over, maybe then you don't say that so much I'll do a little less of that one says: once we get into a little jonathan Turley is another case document hundred Biden. Then whether you will be charged with criminal contempt for refusing to appear in my speech, I guess the doktor goggles but the interesting side.
Which truly talks about his Eric swore well apparently helped warmly and organise hunters non compliance? In other words, he attended with him in the sort of what he has to do. So the question is: is Eric swore well risking going to do we're just helping hunter in what looks like doing something that could create a criminal content situation, interfere with ie, you wouldn t
would swore will be interfering with the official and unofficial le say where we were recalled the fiscal process within congress, because once the ouse members are looking into something, isn't that an official process is there any less official, then why pence was doing on january sex? Or is it like some sub category of what makes something efficient. To me, it looks like somebody was trying to thwart the congress's official work, so why wouldn't swalwell then inhale? You know at least then at least the same risk as abandoned was because there was a similar situation. Some say nothing's ever really similar in this legal stuff that no two situations are really the same, but there are situations that make you raise your eyebrow and say ooh.
A little bit to say, maybe we should figure was seven. I don't think this wall well is in legal jeopardy and I don't think hunter will be a legal jeopardy, but I also don't think Bannon should have been in legal jeopardy, so the Israel edge cases, people me you could argue that they broke the law. I get it, but you don't really want people to go to jail for Sort of stuff- I don't do Biden, never reaction to trump's rally ah and here's what Biden said after I read this see if you can answer the question, is it working here's the Democrats, obvious strategy for beating trump see if it's working. A binding, really sustained and say tonight. Donald trump challenges role models as he heralded adolf hitler,
he's given jargon and quoted the latter beer putin, while running for president and promised to rule as a dictator had threatened american democracy. May I quote the vague rama, swami presidential candidate? Who said about Van Jones? Well, you notice and above said about as my next story, Let me just point out that I don't think it's working, I'm gonna call this the fellows strategy, because their noses just more ridiculously
sectional know that lol hitler kim jong un putin thing is like creating this fictional world, where Biden where, where trump lives in anthony's friends, with all the painters and he's going to be one since completely fictional world, so I think it's funnier, if you embrace it and taken all the way to the full fiction of Thanos leaves super villain in the marvel movies. Who's going to snap his vigil glove and half of the planet will die.
Let's just go full thanos if you get through. If you go to show you're going to put it in one sentence: Adolf hitler, kim jung, un and vladimir putin- don't be a pussy, just go full thanos. I am on Biden, c'mon go full thanos. You can do it now. Do you agree that that this attack doesn't feel like an attack anymore? It feels like a joke, doesn't sound funny to you when you're like what I read this, I rather as huber literally, you know not another saying that just to influence you, I'm saying I just laughed when I read it looks like we lost the comments or no comments,
Interrelated story: the vague promise warming was speaking and there he said Now you know me, I don't like to use fellow language in public, so I'm only gonna say say this because as a presidential candidate.
In public, so ordinarily, I would never try to offend your ears with such language. What is news? Is news, so a lie. I'm going to carrot you and we talked about monica lewinsky- is blow job. I couldn't say that until it was news as soon as you touch a president's cock know, you can talk about it, because it's news is news, as I can say, president's cock, because I was actually the subject of an impeachment as news, you can't blame me if it's news, not my fault or yours, news The vague promise what we said- and I quote you ve- got this character van jones on cnn afterwards, saying quote: this is a rise in american demagogue. Talking about the vague himself
this is rise of an american demagogue was going to live fifty years longer than trump. This is dangerous, then vague, says just shut the fuck up at a certain point or shut the fuck up and the crowd goes wild. The crowd goes wild now. What strategy? What persuasion strategy is the vague employing here successfully was: was strategies employing? He is treating them like clowns, because the things they're saying do sound clownish and if he were to, if he were to respond to it as him, my goodness, I'm not going to be a dick
gator. That will be such a mistake because then you're just talking about how you're a dictator but not a dictator, and then just people think victim. While he goes the other way, he just he just says just shut the fuck up which guarantees it becomes. National news in trenton guarantees us national news and guarantees that you will mock Van jones, but I actually like Matt Van Jones as he is awesome, but he's also a team player for the other side. Young unabashedly. So I don't mind that I don't mind when people are overtly unabashed Italy taking a team perspective as okay. Ok, you! If you don't lie to me, that's. Why am I the law as long as you're? Not lying to Van does a good job of it.
Lying in my opinion, but he does use a little hyperbole now and then and the hyperbole about the dictators in the republican party are ridiculous and in my mind they are actually just funny. So if we can get to the point where we treated as funny we're not going to look so scary when you agree, mockery is very powerful. Nobody wants me, the marked person in the conversation and all this dictator stuff is so over the top ridiculous that
like, I would say, if you're going to grade this, it isn't just it's not even an a. This is like extra credit know. This is like an a p class. A councils are four point: five, you can. You can do better than that, but you take your whole day. You'll take a whole day off today and try to come up with a better response to van jones, then just shut the fuck up, as some boy just shut the fuck up. You get me that that is literally and unbeatable response, because it dismisses the other side is ridiculous, exactly what they told me they do you joke about. It has insisted.
I too, am I talked about this. Are you my dear democrats, post, where I told the Democrats having another brainwashing prison and it's up to three point? Five million views. I told you yesterday it had that now that early indications go viral three and a half million people viewed it. I saw that elon musk responded to it with just one word true, I like a when the ula muskets the really fast responses to things. Sometimes he just as one exclamation mark like and if there is something in the news, it's just crazy and just do the one exclamation mark, but then other times he goes just as the one word troop.
so I'm sure that has something to do with the traffic on it. But given that it has three point, five million views of medulla musk endorsed it, and I saw a lot of people say it was the best post of the year. Imagine how many posts lower this year and a number of people just spontaneously and independently said best posts of the year, which I don't get and that's not something I hear, even even if I have this money or views, people, those as the best posts or they just say they liked it. So this one must be special, so I'm going to read it to you again and fall because there's something about this, that is really resonating with people. So if we,
understand. What is it about? This is resonating than you'll be more power. Son is read it again to gear Democrats, and I'm sorry. You're media has done this to you as you have no mechanism for knowing how brainwashed you are and as a trained hypnotist, I am genuinely empathetic about it. I mean no disrespect Brainwashing is more powerful than brains. That's why I works. One way out of your mental prisons is to ask yourself which countries are okay, with changing the basic nature of the societies, the unchecked immigration. If such countries exists and unchecked immigration, those working outbreak for them. You may be right. the right, wingers and tramper. Like ehler, you have. No such country exists.
Your server, that you have been the victim of brainwash the real costs and that this type of manipulation is the basic nature of american society and has been for decades. Next ask yourself if anyone has ever used a complex model to predict anything about the future climate change or otherwise. you will learn, it isn't a thing and never has been. Models do not predict the future. Nothing else does either. You're real enemies of the brain washers in charge, not the so called right wing. There is a common enemy. The
local right can be diluted and wrong too, but it never looks like the result of organized brainwashing, just an attraction to conspiracy theories too. Many of which have proven true now do you feel the persuasion in that the the the actually feel it, as I saw the dividing line between just talking and persuading you have to feel it or else is not persuasion too long is too long, but I did get three and a half million views. Let me tell you which parts, The lists are active persuasion, so you can reproduce it again. So I started out by saying you, dear democrats, and that I apologize to them. I said I'm sorry and I have empathy for their situation if you start with empathy, you're going to get a better outcome than if you start with you're all idiots and suffered
Persuasion is when you start with empathy, and I say I'm sorry that happened to you. Saying I'm sorry that happened to you. I make people think about Whether or not I'm really sorry what have I done if they're thinking about whether I'm really sorry about it, I made them think past the sale. The sale is this. Something happened to them, I'm not talking about whether something happened to them. I'm talking about how I feel about it. So I've been to think past the sale. Thus, in the first part, that's classic persuasion, I said I mean no respect because brainwashing is more powerful than brains. So now I have given them a graceful exit. Does it mark Machiavelli valley who says you should always leave your enemy on ship defeated them, always leave them escape route? You don't wanna humane,
get them yet you want to give them a way out. So I give them away our wishes. A it's, not your fault. If somebody uses brainwashing on you, you're no you're, not magic. You know everybody's brain is that so now I have shown apathy and I've also said, there's a reason: that's not your fault, so I'm showing compassion and I've already absolved them from blame. Before I even get into the details, that's as good persuasion.
What else to do, and I told them aware of their mental prison, which is also making them think past the sale, I'm not trying to sell them on the fact that they're in a mental prison, I'm talking about how to get out. Do you see the technique again, I'm not going to argue whether you're in a mental prison. That's a given! I'm talking about how to get out now. If I tell you how to get out, wouldn't you be tempted to try it if it were so easy and didn't require any effort was well whatsoever. You just have to read the rest of the sentence. That's that's your entire offer, so you're saying to yourself really does, and I bet I've been brainwashed and you're going to get me out of it with one sentence. Are you not be interested in that and have you bail out at that point, you're going to finish right, you finish, because I'm going to tell you how to get out of a prison that you didn't know Europe and I'm going to do it in one sentence, you're going to finish the sentence, I know what I'm up to.
So you're here's. What I said was I consider that there is there someplace where unchecked immigration is working. Then maybe you got a point. It goes as far as we know there is no place. The unchecked immigration is working and logically, cancer makes sense, as some people said to me, the scott and the comments. Unchecked immigration is what made american great like. We were basically a nation. They became the strongest nation on earth because of specifically unchecked immigration. You know my response lies.
Another word for that was say: what's it called when somebody is already living in a place, and then you come in with all your people and displaced the people who are there and take all their land? Is that called unchecked immigration, or is that all there is another word for it is called colonize re? Yes, if you want to be a fucking colonizer, then how about your own check? The immigration is a good way to get there. That's called colonizing colonizing the that was the best. That was the best criticism to this tweet. They call arising as may be better than you thought. I saw that I chose them to think about that, so that they have actually submit to think about
Instead, we have a common enemy: what's the best way to make a friend best way make a friend as if a common enemy you are working toward defeating the common enemy, so I say directly that a common enemy, whoever is brainwashing. You is not my friend and they're, not your friend is the brainwashing, so we have a common enemy. Whoever is brainwashing, you is not my friend, but I'm your friend, your dear democrat. You're a Democrat who's who, I feel actual genuine empathy, for I can be your friend, but whoever whoever is fucking with you. Whoever is destroyed your ability to see reality through this intense brainwashing
my friends and I'm not even sure who they are they're. Not republicans. Do not republicans. I dunno they're they're, not my friend they're. Definitely, not your friend, so we're on the same team. That's good persuasion to I, and then I finish it off by saying because of this boy, you know you, you assume, by the way. This is good writing technique as well as good persuasion. If you'd know what people are thinking as as the criticism you should address it before they say it as much stronger than waiting for them to say it is once they say it they're committed to it and then it's hard to back off something you said, but if they haven't said it yet you can catch
like kill it in the grimm, then maybe it won't come out of the mouth and then that are not committed to it. So it's easier to get it when they're young, so I said the political right can be diluted and wrong. To is, if I hadn't said that that the right can be diluted and wrong, then it's just a political state, and then people have permission to ignore it like I I just added you as soon as you say, I'm on a team, you're kinda done with your persuasion, nobody's gonna, listen to the team play, so you gotta say yes. This is something that applies to me.
and you equally, but there is one little twist which lie, which is that the brainwashing that happens on the republican side doesn't seem to be organized. It's people who genuinely believe what they believe. Sometimes they collect more people who believe the same thing such as vaccinations such as the election etc, but it doesn't seem organized or to the extent that it's organizing until that yeah, maybe trump is the main voice to it, but there's nothing hidden, there's nothing, sketchy or weird happening. There's just people say I don't trust this thing. I think there might be a conspiracy theory or less varied when the new brainwashed into thinking ask is very, very different. Leslie persuasion take down on that. I heard from said in his speech the Jimmy,
Was very happy, his administration was brilliant compared to what we have right now. Is that good to persuasion really good? It's really good here. Here's the trick, if he had said Biden, is terrible while you'd argue with it is not so terrible. He did some things. I like. You may say of your Democrat, but if you say Jimmy Carter is happy about it. You ve created a second question. You you'd, maybe you ve made everything pass assail again from it is by the terrible. Do you see the worst ever or the second worst ever so job makes you think about is binding, the worst of all time or just the second worst perfect
It's perfect, I, like to think of Biden, has been a lot like Jimmy Carter. The main difference being would be Biden is like Jimmy Carter. If ALA Jimmy Carter's peanuts had been stolen instead of instead of grown on the farm, the fair biden is like Jimmy Carter. If Jimmy Carter had stolen all of his peanuts, instead of grown them on his farm, I thought it was good.
I thought I'd like it also call you weapon eyes the government. As far as I know so, in my opinion, there is no competition by them is far worse than carter. His carter meant well. Let me say that again Jimmy carter, men. Well, that is not the case with binding buttons in it for the money but, let's be honest, is in it for the money, at least partly as now the E. U commission just opened a formal proceedings against x. Do you think that's because they have a genuine concern or because x is a threat to everybody in power, because free speech actually happens or this because it's
Of course, so the weaponization of the american government has now spread to the weaponization of the european governments. and you notice a european government doesn't seem to be complaining about picked up hickok, but the talk is literally one of the biggest risks in the world find his feet. Yet, if you can't tell that the attacks against elon musk are purely political, you are not paying attention at all. I mean it's pretty obvious that these are purely for any others. But if you didn't spend a lot of time following the news, maybe it wouldn't be. While I see two opposing reports about a potential border deal as Joe Manchin says, my aunt antler border deal this week when the,
graham said, is not a chance in the world that will be the elders lobbies in close. So, but I do like this, I do like that. The republicans are holding tight and they're saying unless we get something done, this really useful at the border- you're not getting any more. You green funding, we think that was a good play, I don't I don't like the omnibus things where it's just a whole bunch of stuff thrown into one big. But then everybody gets the pork and nothing good happens. So I dont like an army boss, but if you take two issues that can't be.
Solved and you can solve them by marrying them and when I say solved I mean at least we have some kind of action resolution that does make sense so from a systems perspective. Thank you that you know have I ever complimented congress before no think so, maybe in my whole life this I'm going to complement. Oh actually, I've complimented mac aids for causing trouble when, when a promise to him was not kept, I'm completely on board with that. If Matt gates got rid of the speaker.
for no other reason than because he broke a promise to him. I'm okay, blah blah blah other things. I don't care blah blah blah hurts the republicans chances of winning election, don't care nope. If you lie your colleague and he takes you down good good. Nothing else is utterly recovers me, favour of a system where the system works like a good system. Even if sometimes is bad for me, and that was a good system response. If the system took out with somebody who lie, do him good? That's what I want to see more of that. Please.
But if the republicans give some kind of border thing, especially since it's an election year that should make it easier to get something done. There are other playwright, so Christopher wray says that the risk at the border is greater than ever now isis and maybe Al Qaeda and everybody else might be coming in. I dunno. I still have this big question mark about about why there haven't been lots more domestic terrorist attacks in recent years. Why is that? The only thing I can think of is there are surveillance systems that surveil, basically all communications. All the time are really good, and I can pick out keywords.
I can spot the bad guys before they get too organized. We must be taking them potential terrorists like every day and successful. I think I can't think of any other reason. We wouldn't be seeing massive terrorist attacks in homeland for years. How can it be none how's that even possible, so I'm gonna make a prediction that there will not be a wave of major terrorist attacks. There might be a spot here and there like there might be a lone wolf or something I don't think you're going to see a nine eleven, because I think that our our spooks are so good at surveilling us that they would pick up anybody on the mainland or even outside that we even thought about doing something, and I don't think that you can do anything without digital communication, these days hasbro and says wrong in all capitals, you, you should just say I'm an npc that will be more clear instead of wrong.
I've been busy, I just want, you ought to know. Swimming is best form of exercise and also soil agree either. Somebody gaudy tiktok, really, we says, was social media calls it currently there another attack, dockers or in the? U s army, are whining about being in the service is terrible. They don't like to pay the food and they don't like taking fitness tests and they've been complaining antique duck now. So these are the people they're, the the demographic that the military needs to attract joined. The military is as exact tick, tock, age group and now people in the tiktok age group actual influencers are telling people in the age group that's a terrible deal to join the military. Should we assume
that another factor that will be and degradation of our military capability. I think it's obviously some more obvious that if people The military are directly telling other people don't do. It does not really seen that before. Have you. I've never seen any kind of organized. You know digital negativity, about joining the military. So now here's the question: if you didn't know it, tiktok is owned by his own by a chinese company, and chinese companies have to do what the government tells them. Everybody understands that tiktok has told us. They have a button that is literally titled heat. If they push their button on a certain post on tiktok, they will get lots more attention. It gets more heat, goes fire
So what would happen hypothetically if china told tiktok to push the button on the people who are in the american military who say, don't join it's a bad deal, a heavier. What would happen it would destroy the fighting ability of the? U s military, maybe for a decade, that's completely legal. Our congress or congress allows our biggest adversary china to have total infiltration of oliver young people and then have a message that would destroy the military capability of the united states and what would China need to do to destroy the military, the united states? This is not an exaggeration. This is literally true one button one button, one phone call and one button hello: this is the government of china. Am I talking to the ceo of by dance? Yes, could you tell your tiktok managers to push the heat button on the soldiers who are saying, don't join the? U S, military, absolutely, sir! Thank you, fuck bush and thus the end of the. U s milder than an exaggeration that does anybody want to challenge my my frame? Does anybody want to say scott? That's a little hyperbolic inaccurate! Destroy the? U s military by pushing one button the lessons a nuclear button. Now, that's not an exaggeration tiktok does have the power to destroy recruitment of the us military. That's a real thing and your congress is not really even too serious about stopping it, not really serious about it. What does that tell you tells me only one that there is no possibility
that our congress is anything but bought off? I don't think there's any other explanation for what we're saying and if there is another explanation, wouldn't you like to hear it and if somebody went on tv tomorrow to answer these questions, the ones that I just brought up, what did I do think that conversation would go? Let me tell you news person, so what do you think about tiktok? You think it should be banned, congressperson well, yo. This issue of data privacy is very important, but you know I think we don't want to ban banner because free speech, thank you for coming. Thank you for coming our next story right, because the the news is obviously corrupt. So they're not going to even ask the right question is not about data security. It's not data security is that privacy. There is an issue, but it's about pushing a button. That's the one that destroys the military. Do you think you can get a news person to ask the question correctly?
and turned that into a like a t v hit. Now I have, I have seen it done, but one hundred and ten, maybe nine and ten will be the data security. That's that's the diversion and one at a tavern will say, but there's a heat button and will be mentioned. But do you think there will be anybody in the news who will do what I just said to describe to you how simple it would be for china to destroy the entire us military with one button you think you'll see that on t v now you think the washington post will read an article about how china has one button: destruction powers an hour, the united states, no new york times. No, no, no.
It will be completely ignored. Yeah, there's a story in the bbc, the says white men are thirty times more likely to succeed in finance jobs and they ask us are coming from higher socio economic backgrounds, so I guess who so never to fix up in there. Some research showed that there is a big difference was missing from.
The survey it wasn't one say the survey is correct and that white men are thirty times more likely to succeed and finance, but was missing, is re. Data is missing from the story, though, maybe give you better contacts on well, allow me to suggest they ask all the different groups who was interested, so I have a degree of economics and the aid from berkeley
I don't like dimensional them embarrassed embarrassed by my m b, a, but why? Why do you think I pursued a finance, related career economics and then business? You know what wasn't about me. Was it because of mia. I was born in a rich family, so I was always around money. No! No! I was born. I was raised in a lower middle class income. My father worked for the post office, use the clerk and clerk behind the counter. The post office and the house I grew up in was made of cinder blocks that my mother and my father built with their own two hands. That's why I grew up in a house that my
it's built themselves and they never built anything before you could tell alright. But no, let me tell you why I I pursued a in education in the finance area. I was legitimately interested and when I looked at all my options, I said to myself, I don't think I want one of those jobs where I'm outdoors all day in the sun and the cold and moving stuff. As I get tired and I started with jobs made me a lot of money, finance sounds kind of promising. You taken a lot of different directions. Right, you don't just have to be a personal finance person,
We'd just be managing your own money but useful skills, no matter what you do it. So I said to myself: you know I'd like to make a lot of money, I'm quite interested in understanding how money works and there's a word for it called economics. And then I pursued my interests and then I did ok cartooning as well mostly worked. But if you haven't heard my story, if not for the business education, her tuning wouldn't have worked for me because I had to use those skills to make cartoons
work. It wasn't because the cartoon was so good, and so, if you don't have in your survey, I'm alright you're. How old was I let's say: you're fifteen survey, fifteen year old kids and find out what their interest is in a career in finance? What are the women gonna say: the girls, the fifteen year old girl? What are the girls going to say one of the white boys going to say what are the black girls and black boys going to say what are the asian boys and girls going to say? Would it be the same if they are? If you found out, they all had equal interest in hsp, but only white men succeeded. You got a real problem, they're right unless clearly there's something going on and you'd suspect discrimination be populace. But if you can't determine that there's a difference in interest at age, fifteen then the rest of the stuff is useless. I don't care how many actually became finance people. I care how many who wanted to be financed. People succeeded, as that would tell me a lot if there were an equal as a ratio wise and equal pool.
of young black women who wanted to be finance professionals and white men, and then there was a big difference in outcome. I'd say you gotta, look at the path that somebody's gonna look at, but it's not the only explanation for why might happen, but you gotta look at that. But if you don't know what the interest level was at age, fifty you don't know anything. And I'm really tired of people looking for the problem at the end of the process. if you're walking into an employer office- and you don't get the job that wasn't a problem that happened this week.
That's probably your whole life way everything you did from your preschool until the mamma you walked into the review is what will probably determine your success is not the only thing, but certainly I think we need to focus on the very young people's strategies. I will tell you that, despite not growing up in a family where anybody had killed, it made a lot of money. So I wasn't looking in any role models in my town.
One lawyer was sort of a role model because he made money, but my mother told me every day. I think every day it felt like not literally, but she would say I you go into college and then you're going to be successful, make money and then you're going to take care of us and your old age. So I went to school. I took her seriously. I made a bunch of money just like she said. I did exactly what she said and then once I met a bunch of money, I bought 'em up a house to live in florida If so, from literally from kindergarten, my mother put a programme in my head and my siblings as well. What programs in all our heads, you're, going to school you're going to build some school? Some skills make sure you're good at something that was hurt. She always used to say that it doesn't matter what you do. She would say
I make sure he is the best one at it now later in life. I came up with the talent stack idea, which is a, I think, an improvement in that is, rather than being the best at one really limiting skill. I tell you to combine skills until you're, the best being you, in other words, as nobody as those skills, but his aversion to being the best there's a way to get there without having the best talent. Well, you just combined things until you're special. So did I succeed because I'm a white man or did they succeed, because I was given almost at birth?
A a strategy that works for basically everybody when you agree at how many, how many of you were told from the time you were in kindergarten, you're going to college, be good at something stay out of jail. Did it work, you tell me, did it work? The number of people say? Yes, if your parents told you to get educated and build the skill and stay out of jail, did it work? Yes or solar, so yeah? I think the focusing on what happens when you're adult and you can get that job is just missing the whole story. The whole story is at kindergarten experience. Basically, because I can tell you never changed, there is no point in my life where I thought to myself. Oh, I guess I don't need education, because I don't need to be good at something and then the my other biggest part of my philosophy, that's I think been useful and george
Peterson says a version of this as well, so it's more credible when he says it, but if you're, not thinking of your future in terms of being useful you're, not doing anything, you only get rewarded for providing value. So if you're thinking, how can I get stuff out of the system like what what's my mechanism for extracting things from the system? You're a loser? That is the loser way to think of, as if you're thinking what value can I add, you're a winner now, do you always get fairly compensated for adding value?
no? No. I wish, but the world doesn't work that way. If you keep adding value all your life, are you likely to be recognized as the person who adds value? Are you likely to get job offers because there are you likely to attract good night? Yes, yes, you can make. You can not get credit for a lot of good stuff. You do, but if you're just doing useful stuff your whole life, everybody notices, everybody notices and that will make you stand out. So the and and the the be useful part wasn't exactly something that my parents said in words, but I do know the kids kids raised today. Often don't have jobs or even chores. Have you noticed that, like a like a kid's day will get an allowance for just going to school? Oh good for you, you went to school, here's your allowance. Do I have to work for? Oh god, no you've got so much homework. Yes, your activities after school, and you have to have time for your friends and stuff.
So no no there's no time for that. No you're not going to work as crazy, but you know I tell people I was. I was making dinner for the family at age fourteen or something- and we were always you know, train from the youngest age, to work on my uncle's farm to help around the house. I was mowing the lawn shoveling, the snow. You know all that stuff, so nobody had to tell me to be useful by the time. By the time I got to college, I had had an entire saturation of there, something that needs to be done. You know what like that is so activating to me, Scott there's something that needs to be done. Dammit cause I'm going to have to do it. You tell me something needs to be done as important, and I can't even think about anything else like I'm so trained to do was useful to other people, so be useful to other people that your lesson for the day and is there any story that I should have mentioned that I forgot anything going on that. I I missed this one, your husband and food shopping for the family when he was eight years old and new york city, yup yup, that's how it used me and kids, first jobs, not paying enough yeah, there's something to that. Oh yeah. I forgot to talk about the motorcade crash, so Biden's motorcade. That was in d c right. I got to crashed into by a car. I was in delaware. Somebody says: will in delaware to a car crashed into one of the su these in a Biden's bigger. What do you call it? His motorcade and the there's a picture of the there's, a picture of the driver of the car and police via the law enforcement standing around the car. Talking to you should see his face now. It that people are prompting me to say is the black driver, but that that's not part of the story
yeah. The the driver's ethnicity is not part of the story. But if you want to you know just picture in your head a little bit better, imagine the driver, the driver, he runs into something. So it's already a bad day right. If you crash your car it's a bad day and then the law enforcement people surround your car and you realize there are a whole bunch of people with suits and guns is apparently they came after him with guns out because they didn't know if it was a threat. So magically you look out. You see all these well dressed secret service people and, and they got guns drawn and you're sitting in your car and you're, just a you're, totally innocent motorists, and somebody said it was a black su lee at night blocking an intersection. So maybe there was just a visibility problem as possible, but imagine the look at his face when he found out what he just did. Sir, do you know who he just ran into some kind of stv? You know who is in the car behind it now the president of the united states, what the president of the united states you just you just up, ran into his motorcade. We think you might be a terrorist.
What what so still to be the funny part of that story was. I wish I could have a picture of the face of the driver when he found out what he had just done, because he thought it was bad enough because he created an accident. Just like the accident is bad enough and you are going to be in the newspaper and you're going to be a little bit famous woman in texas shot a fourteen year old boy who broke into her home well before. I I think that's all for now not much happening on a. I accept just keeps moving forward and I'm gonna say he has had a fail ever coming back to audible. Probably probably you can't buy it now. I thought the old audible for how to fill was still for sale, but I'd have to check them and if not I'll I'll get that done, and so the thing I could do now for audiobooks.
and amazon were was audible, wasn't accepting them, but I think they will. I can you say I now to create a perfect version in me. There will speak in every language, so I can now do the audio books without reading it. I just read the text into the machine. The machine will become me, read it in english and then I'll just say I giving their spanish. It will be my voice, imperfect, spanish and chinese. Is it so? I can translate my book in any language now, but the
not yet at the moment it takes three separate a eyes, so those three I apps and you'd have to really know what you're doing to get to get to work. I assume, within the year that's going to be one app, that the simply obvious direction will be one app to create a deep fake that can do anything you want. Three apps is crazy. So that's come. I guess I got for now youtube thanks for joining season.
