Episode 1975 Scott Adams - 2023 Starts With Some Excellent Fake News, Conspiracy Theories And More

good morning and welcome to the best day of 2023 so far and also a highlight of civilization you made it to coffee with Scott Adams and that means you're the kind of person who can really put it together if you know what I mean so good for you and uh amazingly we have hundreds of people who have already awakened early enough now how would you like to take this experience up to a new level higher than already oh yeah all you need is a copper mug or a glass of tanker jealous of style and a canteen Joker flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine the other day you think that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now go I will stipulate that that is the best SIP of the year that's what well I don't know about you but how was your New Year's Eve celebration uh me I haven't had human contact in two days which was not what I planned at all I I actually plan something very expensive last night but the Bay Area was underwater so there was no traveling so I got to spend a lot of money but I did not have any human contact I couldn't leave the house yesterday so it was expensive and so far a complete zero now have I told you about my uh one of my evidence that I'm in a simulation is that my problems follow a specific theme and I have lots of problems within my theme but I don't have many problems outside of the theme even when other people do I don't know why my theme as I've told you is water problems plumbing and water problems going into 2023 I've got a broken hot water dispenser that gives me dirty water for some reason I've got sync that doesn't work it's linking two showers that are broken I've got water coming through the ceiling and much of my landscape is in the road in front of my house let me tell you what my gardener needs to add to his talent stack I really like my gardener and he helped build a water sort of an emergency water Channel because my my property collects a lot of water and I can you know I'll drown the neighbors if I don't manage it so I had to put in a very expensive you know new separate outdoor drainage system they have some decorative rocks that if it in the event of too much water it would enter this new channel and go into this Like a Rock Creek there was just rocks waiting and then I would go down and harmlessly into the street well it looked really good so my Gardener has a A plus for aesthetic sense I really liked it did a good job look look like it belonged there here's here's what my Gardener did not do he did not do a water flow calculation which takes into consideration the mass of each of the rocks and uh their their buoyancy so many of the uh fisticized and smaller rocks that made up my drainage niche are now visiting my neighbors because I'm at the top of a hill and there was just enough water to carry the Rocks all the way down the hill and around to the neighborhood so yesterday I spent much of my day cleaning up rocks from my neighbors in front of my neighbor's homes and uh but on the good side it did drain just about where it was supposed to it's just that whole Rock buoyancy thing we didn't get we didn't get right so I'm going to recommend my Gardener that he sign up for a class in physics fluid dynamics um and then maybe take another run at it something like that all right so I'm sure that'll work out um San Francisco was so wildly wet some kind of record rainfall that the the the sewers were getting so much pressure from all the water that it was starting to shoot out so there's all these videos this morning let's see it it's just like shooting out there now it's not just in one place either apparently there are a number of places where it was doing that now to me it looked like a portal from hell so it was reported as a you know like a weather related phenomenon but I'm pretty sure those are demons and the demons are made entirely of feces and Fentanyl so San Francisco figured out a way and I think they have to think pretty hard they thought huh we've created a dystopian hellscape but is there any way we can take that up a level is there any way to top it in 2023 and then they did they did they managed to aerosol the problems that they had uh already so now they're they're shooting the fecal matter and the fentanyl up into the air so now that it's aerosol that should work out fine uh on Twitter today somebody said is it really that bad in San Francisco or is this all hyperbole to which I said how the hell would I know I live an hour from San Francisco and you couldn't drag me there with a with a bulldozer there's literally nothing you could do that would get me into San Francisco like I I'm gonna wait until it's not a dystopian hellscape and then maybe visit and then maybe visit that's my plan how many of you saw the the bully slapping video that I tweeted yesterday it's getting a lot of views so I think it was in Germany there were some school kids and the setup was um I'm guessing the ages but approximate Ages were some boys maybe 14 years old I'm guessing sitting on a bench in some kind of school setting outside and there was a young girl who maybe was 16 she was bigger bigger than the boys on the bench um and she was sort of getting in the face of one of them who was you know completely backed up and then she started to say something that was physically threatening so you can see he was putting his arms up because he thought she was going to hit him somebody translated it and said something like I'm not going to hit you you know he was trying to avoid it a fight so the girl keeps berating him and berating him and finally she just leans up leans in and just smacks him so boys 14.

sort of a normal looking 14 year old boy she's 16 but definitely bigger how do you think that worked out for her it didn't work out so he stood up slapped the piss out of her and then you know she immediately recoiled in pain and horror but then he starts to walk away having matched I exactly matched her violence you know he didn't didn't exceed it he just matched it and then he walked away and then she went after him again this time it didn't go so well yeah I'm not gonna I'm not gonna glorify the violence because we don't support violence right nobody's promoting violence the larger story here is the reaction to the video right the the video itself is you know two people have a situation that doesn't really go beyond that but how we reacted to it really was interesting really interesting because there's a whole male female thing happening at least in America that is is a checking the boundaries of things right right that has a has the power structure changed you know so a lot of people were seeing more in this little story than really what it was about it was about two people basically but we automatically you know put that into our model of the world now at the same time just for context I tweeted a great thread on um all the anti-white male discrimination that's now in my in my word institutionalized so Aaron siberium goes through all the examples from the past year or so of direct government discrimination against white males and when I say Direct I mean they actually say it we're going to give these benefits or or even coveted shots or Cova treatment or even hospitalization we're going to give it to these races and we're going to give less of it to white people now I'm saying white males because you know the gender thing is in here but not in that example so uh when you see the number of uh let's say medical and also a college and school related things that are clearly designed to minimize the the advantages I guess of being white and male and to boost other groups now this is all sort of the backdrop so when a bunch of white men see a tweet of a a young white male slapping the crap out of a bully it really hits you someplace you wanted to be hit and this isn't good just look how bad it is that a whole bunch of white men mostly white I mean not all obviously it was you know my my Twitter feed is a mixture of people but just think about the fact that a whole bunch of white men looked at that video and said yeah kick the out of that woman she had it coming now I'm not arguing whether she had it coming we're not promoting violence I'm just saying we've actually got to the point where white men are celebrating violence against women and by the way that's why Andrew Tate is so popular nobody says it out loud but white men and men are feeling so abused lately that when somebody goes in public and says it's okay to hit women again I'm not promoting that you know we don't like any violence but things have gone so far that young men are saying yeah I'm down to that let's hit women because I'm I'm tired of the way things are going again just to be as clear as possible not promoting it not condoning it not celebrating it we don't do that but but I'm observing I'm observing and what I observe is kind of scary because there's one thing that you don't want it to happen is to push white men too far I don't think it's going to happen because we're pretty good at bending but you don't want to push them too far because like the woman who slapped the boy I believe that there's a completely misleading understanding of how much power is on the other side that's being held back you don't want that to be Unleashed so just sort of in your thinking about how to deal with people in the world just consider it's all connected right everything's connected if you push too far and you're right at the edge you're right at the edge right now if you push too far there's going to be a reaction that nobody's going to like one of the reactions is that men have given up on dating women there's a estimate I saw I don't I don't believe predictions that go this far into the future but something like in the air I don't know 20 50 or something or 2030 half of all women in the reproductive ages would be single half of them at meaning that they would never be married so not temporarily single but half of that cohort will just never be married and I'm not saying they should not saying we should again we're not talking about what anybody should do I'm just describing so that there's there's something catastrophic happening uh about how we're dealing with each other I think we'll figure it out I think we'll figure it out before it goes too far because that's what we do we're good at figuring out stuff before it goes too far um yeah I I just saw a comment on the locals platform that is the perfect summary of this and then I'll go to the next topic here's the perfect summary a gentleman on locals just commented I never hit a woman but what is a woman perfect all right I'm going to end this topic on that because I can't top it that that's the money shot so we'll end that one on the money shot it will move to the next topic all right you know I love a good conspiracy theory don't you I love a good one now I don't like bad ones where they're just like obviously false you know and I I try to debunk the bad ones as much as possible because the bad ones just make you look less credible if you go into a conversation believing something ridiculous nobody's going to believe the next thing you say right if you start with something ridiculous that said some conspiracy theories turn out to be true don't they don't they yes they do and so here's my favorite one and I want to be really clear I'm not endorsing the accuracy of it I present it to you For Your Entertainment not as truth not as truth not as truth all right I tweeted it and you'll find it in my Twitter feed but there's a long thread in which some individual the anonymous type person has looked through all the photos of various events such as the Charlottesville fine people march the January 6th event and uh what was the other one uh the the the the fake people who pretended to be racist on some campaign I forget what it was so there were there were several events where they have photos of participants and here's the fun part the claim is that he has identified all of the FBI agents who are common to several of those groups he's got pictures of them in uniform and then also in more than one of those groups now some of the identifications you'll look at and you say I'm not so sure you got that face right like okay I can see why but I'm not convinced there isn't you know two chubby bearded guys who look like that right like you know one chubby bearded white guy looks a lot like another chubby bearded white guy with a hat am I right you put a hat on a chubby white guy with a beard faces look pretty similar right so I I can't confirm that the the photos that he's matched up are really saying what they mean to say because the other alternative is that racists are real and they join more than one group or one group gets merged with another so another reason that people could be in the same group multiple times could easily be that they're just racist and they like to be in more than one group something like that I wouldn't rule it out however when you see the faces in the the Marchers of the fine people remember the the tiki torch caring people was there ever anything about that group that immediately stuck out to you it was very big about them that was really odd anybody see it yeah they all look like feds they all look like feds I'm not saying they were I'm sure they weren't all feds but how do you get a group of that many Americans who all look like feds now some of it was because they were college students okay so they're you know relatively you know fit and Young but no they they look they didn't look like a rebel you know uh a randomly randomly uh collected group of people at all so this this uh conspiracy theory Falls and and by the way you know that would indicate January 6 had a bunch of feds um so here here's where I'm gonna take my opinion so so far I'm just describing right here's my opinion I believe the Charlottesville thing has always been an anti-trump OP I don't think it was organic I think it was done to take Trump out by and then when he made his awkward statements about it they said ah we got him we can take that out of context which they did because if you show the video of the event and then you take out a context Trump's comments it's it's the end of him right and I would argue that's why Biden won in 20 um in the most recent election in 2020 I think Biden only won remember that was his biggest his biggest campaign thing was those racist I think Biden knows that it was an up and I think that they they finally brought it all together in a powerful way and it defeated Trump that wasn't the only thing but I think it was important so my my opinion is that was never real I don't know if you know those pictures of people and the thread I don't know if that's real but I'm sure that that was organized by not racists well they might have been coincidentally racist but it was organized by somebody for political reasons not for you know to March for racism and by the way why would anybody even bother having that rally ever think about that why would anybody bother even having that rally is anybody having one today did anyone have have won the year before no it's it's entirely something that doesn't happen in the United States in modern times it's happened in the past of course but in modern times that that type of event can't happen like not organically right now I say can't but of course anything's possible I suppose um that one was so so artificial looking that I choose as a you know I could be wrong I could change my opinion if other information comes but my working working hypothesis is that you have to assume it wasn't real it was just an up against Trump and it worked a good op probably the same people behind it if I had to speculate probably the same Intel people probably Brennan probably probably Hillary just speculated don't know for sure certainly now the uh who is the organizer of the rally Spencer right can you give me an update did Spencer disavow racism recently and say he was never a racist am I remembering that wrong give me a fact check is it somebody Google that I think he did something that suggested he changed his ways he endorsed Biden but that's not enough you disavowed Trump I don't that's not what I'm looking for but he didn't do anything about racism it was only politically yeah now do you how much do you think it would cost to uh let's say bribe somebody of that nature a Richard Spencer if you were a political operative or another country and you wanted to bribe him what would it cost you I don't know and and by the way I'm not suggesting that he took any bribes nor am I suggesting that he's the type of person who would but it wouldn't be expensive I mean I can afford it right I can afford it I mean I wouldn't you know it's not that expensive within the political process is cheap so yeah I think that's all I think Charlottesville was uh op um interestingly somebody asked the AI I think it was chat GPT but I'm not sure if it was aware of me and apparently AI knows who I am and knows my my conversations around systems being better than goals so somehow a nose maybe my book but maybe it saw me in other contexts and so it did a pretty good job pretty good job of describing systems over goals and attributing it to me now here's the interesting question here's ancient what oh here it is uh Richard Spencer disavowed white nationalism after being spotted on Bumble describing himself as a moderate yeah so Richard Spencer might not have been a white supremacist or or a white nationalist or anything else he might have never been that it's possible never know all right where was I so if AI is aware of me here's my question can I hypnotize AI I'm going to wait for your answers before I give you mine can I hypnotize AI here's the answer probably yes probably yes I'd need to know a little bit more about how its engine works but if I knew how his engine worked yeah probably now here's here's why and and here's the the Gap in my knowledge I don't know how much inference AI makes about things that are associated with other things do you know what I mean because that's the basis for hypnosis in humans so a human I can make a human conflate some good experience in their mind with some other thing that I want them to have a good feeling about so I just conflate two ideas and then a human will irrationally you know meld them even though they shouldn't be melted now would AI do that would AI take two things that were associated and then believe their qualities into the other I think it might yeah I would I would need to know more about how it's designed but it might because I feel like it does more than just uh repeat what it's told it does make some kind of its own connections and inferences does not now if it does make its own connections and inferences I can hypnotize it now I don't know exactly the method but that would be enough it would be something to work with I think that's going to be a problem and here here's how I think I could influence it let's say influence it instead of hypnotize it okay if I say hypnotize you're thinking the wrong thing just say influence using the the skill of persuasion well apparently I already have I already have if you were to ask AI what's better a system or a goal and just without without reference to mentioning me what do you think it would do I think it would say well I already know this from this Scott Adams guy and then it would just answer the question that systems are better than goals but why would it answer that way because of me and I believe that the only way I can influence it is if I write clean understandable sentences about a topic and especially a new topic one one that hasn't been talked about in the same way before so I think that the person who writes the let's say the most uh discoverable opinions which is something I can do because I have a lot of followers so anything I write will be more discoverable than whatever you write if you have fewer social media followers so in theory I can boost my real world influence and that level of influence will bleed over into the AI in other words the AI will probably give me more credit because I'm famous right you won't think of it that way it'll just say how many people are thinking this way they'll say oh everybody's thinking systems are better than goals lately but that came from me that would be me influencing AI and you saw the example of it so in theory if you say smart things that people want to repeat you know in memes the AI will be you know scooping up that influence and it will be as biased as I make it so I could write um I could write opinions that I agree with that would be so good and AI is likely to repeat them but I could also I'm not going to do this but I could also write opinions that are so well constructed about something I don't believe that I could get AI to believe it I would just have to do a really good job on the outside world outside of AI of making my case if I do that the AI will just pick up pick up the the public sentiment and feed it back you I think so if you had not considered this problem of AI that somebody like me and there won't be too many people who can do it right I mean there might be a million but then of seven billion eight billion that's not that much there will be some people who can hypnotize the AI and I think I'll be one of them so there's something to worry about all right um so here's the latest news from Romania on uh the poor man's Michael avenatti uh sometimes you call him Andrew Tate um so here here's the funniest thing that happened on that lately uh my one of my live stream Clips somebody made a clip of me defending uh Andrew Tate now that's all over tick tock so so now I'm famous for defending him and I will do it again I'll do it again innocent until proven guilty everything you hear that comes out of Romania is unreliable all of it you shouldn't trust a single thing you hear and then next uh his level of both money and persuasion skills are probably greater than the Romanian system meaning that I don't know for sure but by now I predict he's already on top of it meaning that he probably is is comfortable wherever he's detained probably has privileges that would be uncommon to somebody who's being detained probably has befriended them and maybe even made them fans the police and probably can use this to increase his power once he gets rid of the legal problems so there's a very good chance this is just making it more powerful if if he escapes the uh the the risk now I I I would say again I'm not a fan right so I'm I'm uh I'm a deep disliker of Andrew Tate for personal reasons not for stuff he said in public um I'm not endorsing what he said in public I'm just saying that's that's not my my issue and uh so you know I think he's going to Prevail actually I think that he will not get convicted and I think he'll go on and make some money probably um a question I saw which was a good one is uh why was it filmed by the Press do you notice or was it just somebody some individual who had a cell phone it's kind of interesting that we had video of the actual rain isn't it kind of raised as a question now apparently that's not too unusual because the police often leak to the media in Romania I'm told so yeah this is similar to the Roger Stone arrest I I can tell you how prisoner Island would go uh all right um so anyway I need a new Nemesis because my current Nemesis is in a Romanian jail and until he gets out and resumes his Nemesis business I'm going to need a replacement so I've opportunistically picked out a replacement because I found out I think I have a good theory now of why so many people have the opposite view of my view during the pandemic so there's a huge cohort of people who like you know little dingleberries who who surround my Twitter every day and make statements about what I said that are inaccurate and I was trying to think why the hell are there so many people who have literally the opposite view of what my view was how's that even possible and I think I figured it out it's it's one comic that was created by Ben Garrison a cartoonist right-wing right-leaning cartoonist and the comic is full of you know lies about me oh and maybe maybe sticks somebody says I haven't heard what he said but the comic I think because people will read a comic long before they will listen to long-form you know live stream I think the comic became the primary reason that people think my views are largely the opposite of of what they were because the comic says that so I've decided to uh since Ben Garrison by now knows that his comic is inaccurate or maybe he's suffering cognitive dissonance he might believe it I don't know but in any case um he's a free punch would you agree would you all agree that he has made himself available to become my new nemesis and people on Twitter saw me attacking him yesterday I'm going to keep up the attacks I'm going to try to destroy him totally and the reason is um he went after me so his comic probably took 30 off my uh future uh potential Revenue to think about that that one comic probably increased my future Revenue by 30 percent because the people that were my main audience believe the comic and it's very counter to how they feel so I'm going to destroy him in public in front of you and I'm going to use him for kindling to draw energy toward myself now in the meantime I updated my document where I say what my actual predictions and opinions are so everybody who gets worked up by my attacking this worst cartoonist in the world who draws well but his brain isn't broken apparently um so I'm going to drag him just for attention right now you're going to say to me Scott why do you hate him I don't care about him at all I don't hate him I literally don't care about him I don't care if he lives or dies he he did something terrible to me he's he's not repentant that's a free punch so like the woman who slapped the young man in my earlier story I'm going to beat the out of him I mean not physically yeah I had bore violence but I'm going to drag him as far and as long as I can it's the ticket he bought does anybody have a problem with that he bought the ticket he's going to take the ride now so Ben Garrison dumbest person in all of the world totally unethical untalented hack who couldn't wrap his brain around enough nuance to make a proper cartoon now why does a uh a let's say a cartoonist who hasn't made much of a dent in the world why would he come after me in particular is it because he disagreed with my views on the pandemic do you think that's why a a shitty cartoonist comes after one of the most successful cartoonists no it's because he's a shitty cartoonist and the shitty cartoonist really really likes to try to dunk on people who are more successful commercially more successful so that's what this was about so since he used me for his commercial purposes completely unethically just know that if any of you follow him I'm gonna it I'm sorry no more swearing in 2023.

I'll probably cancel you right so don't don't forward his Comics to me don't follow him and if you see him anywhere I'd appreciate it if you tell people he's or an idiot I'm using idiot and I like those two words to to do carry the carry the water okay uh Leah says the Garrison actually makes good Comics we're blocking Leah goodbye Leah how about anybody else want to say something nice about him we'll block you too and again somebody's gonna say oh he hurt your feelings nope didn't hurt my feelings nothing hurts my feelings nothing hurts my feelings I'm just using him for energy he's just kindling to me that's all he is I'm going to burn him up for my personal benefit me you got it coming all right um new Nemesis I like having a new Nemesis to start the year um so here's some uh new technology let's see if you can predict what the the simulation which is what I believe our reality is let's say if you could predict what the situation what the simulation would do to make it the best story all right so I'll give you the beginning of the story and then you can all fill it in with what would be the the obvious most amusing next thing you will learn all right here's the story there's a Dr.

George Church one of the researchers who is apparently figured out how to reverse aging with an injection so now they've actually done it with animals and I guess they can you apparently it looks really good they can actually reverse aging apparently is real in animals and there's there's good reason to believe it would work in animals in humans now you live in the simulation and you know the simulation is designed for the most entertaining outcome what do you think those injections are made from anybody want to guess what would be the most messed up thing that you could learn next got it yeah see how easy this is see once you realize that these that are reality is apparently scripted for the funniest outcomes yes of course it's related to the MRNA of course it is why wouldn't it be that the one thing that everyone would want everyone would want if it worked right the everyone would want and it just happens to be mRNA based technology now seriously you could see this coming right from a mile away like as soon as I told you there's an injection that was guaranteed wasn't it because who would write it any other way if you're writing the script like a like a reality show the producers would say huh it's an injection you say you know it would be good why don't we see if we can make them take the technology that they all abort and and let's let's have all the people who are the so-called anti-vaxxers because you know again this is not my opinion this is what the best story would look like the best story would be that all the anti-vaxxers start looking old and all the people who took the injection start getting younger and then what are they going to do all right so uh but to be clear the technology apparently is solid the the MRNA platform basic technology is different from a vaccination for the covet right and it's not the same thing so if you start with the the base technology then what you add on top of it is the dangerous stuff in theory right and they could both be dangerous I suppose but the the what they added to make it a coven vaccination is what we suspect you know it might be the riskier part not not the technology so apparently the technology is pretty well understood it's just what you do with it that gets you to the you know the riskier territory and I and my my understanding is there are a number of Cancer Treatments coming online you know I don't know where they are in the testing sequence they're all they're all based on the same technology so apparently the technology has all kinds of promise we may be too biased against it because of the vaccination experience there's also new technology for uh the researchers at University of Washington found a way to identify Alzheimer's before you get it so they can they can determine that there's a build up of something that that pretty much guarantees you can have some form of cognitive decline now it's sort of a technical story and um I'm really the best one to explain science to you know that right so I'd like to explain this in the simplest possible way so you can understand how this early Alzheimer identification works so so stick with me I'll try to keep this really just simple in layman's terms um so you've got a soluble a soluble uh oligomer that binds to the assay and they use that to exploit a property of the the toxic oligomers and when you when those are misfolded the amyloid beta proteins begin to Clump into uh oligomers and they'll they might form a structure known as an alpha sheet um but the the alpha sheets are not normally found in nature so you gotta you gotta create these Alpha sheets which tend to bind to other elf machines and that at the heart of the method really there's a there's a synthetic Alpha sheet that can bind to an elegama in samples and it could be either in the cerebrospinal fluid or blood either one and then uh then you use a test that uses standard methods to confirm the oligomer attached to the test surface are are made up of the amyloid beta proteins so everybody get that okay because I would expect you to be able to repeat that back to me well let's do an update on uh my Elon Musk um Communications so mediaite the the site mediaite not known for being your finest news source they ran a story in which uh this was a headline so so have you ever imagined what it's like to be me it's the damnedest thing my life does not seem even slightly like it could be real it just none of it seems real because it's just too unlikely all of it like every day is just too unlikely so apparently this is the headline that mediaite yesterday musk scolds scolds Dilbert Creator Scott Adams after a poll on Elites trying to reduce population and then it notes that his his scold was rum antivirus software in your brain so I I retweeted the article and added my own commentary that they left out the part where we agreed on everything because that's the story the story is I said something that was unclear musk um objected to the unclear part I clarified and then we were in exact agreement exact agreement now he didn't like confirm everything I said but we have no disagreement right so he confirmed that the wef which has invited him and he declined because he said it'd be boring but he says it's not some kind of conspiracy theory Illuminati thing it's just that um the good intentions of climate sustainability have rippled into the into everywhere and it's causing a certain set of outcomes so um as far as I know musk and I have zero disagreement because we both agreed explicitly that this should not be about left or right because that was my whole point you know to not think that the hoaxes all come from one side or the other and he agreed that the wef at least is not trying to depopulate the world okay so you had two people who had a conversation in which after a minor clarification totally on the same page but it was blowing up like it was some kind of a discriminator fight so uh Elon Musk who apparently is everywhere like we know he doesn't sleep which is evidence he's an Android he doesn't sleep but he even saw this the other series of tweets that he responded to it and he responded to the mediaite saying that he had scolded me his comment was he uh yeah this is silly uh I love your work I think he's referring to Dilbert now that got 2.5 million views 2.5 million people saw him compliment my work which was really good for uh gaining followers if you want to gain some followers uh that's a good way to do it anyway so I think those stories uh done but that that was the story that kicked up the Ben Garrison cartoon again and that's when I put it all together oh that's why everybody thinks my opinion is opposite of what it was Ben Garrison idiot Ben Garrison all right um I'm not going to make this long this morning because some of you may be nursing your hangovers um yeah that reality is too funny to die uh it's funny how the tech Libs can't figure out Scott now is that true uh you know the the trouble with people who are tourists to my work you know they they just dip in and they see some clip or something they would have no idea what they're saying because if you show the you know the arguments on both sides of topics somebody's going to drill in see one side say oh that's all he said because people assume that people are on one side or the other and as long as I don't do that there'll be continuous Ben Garrison like idiot confusion but I'm not going to stop doing it because nobody else is doing what I'm doing or unless you know of somebody do you know anybody who does what I do like seriously well axios okay I'll give you axios axios has my respect Jewel Eldora has the same problem you are correct he does uh well fistulas that's a word I wasn't expecting to see on comments yet yeah Russell Russell Brand's a good example yeah I would say Russell Brand is definitely trying to figure out what's true and what's not and he is looking at both sides I'll give you that that one's a good one all right I'm going to say bye to You.

Tube and I'm going to talk for a moment to the locals people oh by the way on my Twitter feed today you can see a link to an index of 239 micro lessons the subscribers of the locals platform get to see now some of them are silly and fun but there are over 200 of them that each one would be like two to four minutes and give you an actual life skill like like one would teach you to be a better writer in just like a few minutes imagine if you could become you know unambiguously a better writer and you spend two minutes so that's the power of the micro lessons it's sort of like that so they're quite life life-altering if you read 200 of them let's say over the course of a year I will guarantee you that 10 of them will be life-altering in a good way at least 10.

right because they're not all going to have the same effect on everybody you're gonna have an individual reaction to each of them what is the probability that Trump will be in prison soon zero he's not charged with any crime what crime we've seen this taxes we saw the January 6th thing I didn't say they cried now just because the the January 6 people recommended it to the Department of Justice that doesn't mean anything because that's a political process you know the from a legal perspective I see Zero risk does anybody see a risk a golf micro lesson what would be the point of a gulf Michael lesson I'm not going to say no to that but I don't know exactly what you're looking for all right so bye for now on uh You.

Tube and I'll talk to you tomorrow have a great year

good morning and welcome

to the best day of 2023 so far and also

a highlight of civilization you made it

to coffee with Scott Adams and that

means you're the kind of person

who can really put it together if you

know what I mean

so good for you

and uh amazingly we have hundreds of

people who have already awakened early

enough now how would you like to take

this experience up to a new level higher

than already

oh yeah all you need is

a copper mug or a glass of tanker

jealous of style and a canteen Joker

flask of vessel of any kind fill it with

your favorite liquid I like coffee and

join me now for the unparalleled

pleasure of the dopamine the other day

you think that makes everything better

it's called the simultaneous

sip and it happens now go

I will stipulate that that is the best

SIP of the year that's what

well I don't know about you but how was

your New Year's Eve celebration

uh me I haven't had human contact in two

days

which was not what I planned at all

I I actually

plan something very expensive last night

but the Bay Area was underwater so there

was no traveling

so I got to spend a lot of money but I

did not have any human contact I

couldn't leave the house yesterday

so it was expensive

and so far a complete zero

now have I told you about my uh one of

my evidence that I'm in a simulation

is that my problems follow a specific

theme and I have lots of problems within

my theme but I don't have many problems

outside of the theme even when other

people do I don't know why

my theme as I've told you is water

problems

plumbing and water problems

going into 2023 I've got a broken hot

water dispenser

that gives me dirty water for some

reason I've got

sync that doesn't work it's linking two

showers that are broken

I've got water coming through the

ceiling

and much of my landscape is in the road

in front of my house

let me tell you what my gardener

needs to add to his talent stack I

really like my gardener and he helped

build a water sort of an emergency water

Channel because my my property collects

a lot of water and I can you know I'll

drown the neighbors if I don't manage it

so I had to put in a very expensive you

know new separate outdoor drainage

system they have some decorative rocks

that if it in the event of too much

water it would enter this new channel

and go into this Like a Rock Creek there

was just rocks waiting and then I would

go down and harmlessly into the street

well it looked really good so my

Gardener has a A plus for aesthetic

sense I really liked it did a good job

look look like it belonged there

here's here's what my Gardener did not

do

he did not do a water flow calculation

which takes into consideration the mass

of each of the rocks

and uh their their buoyancy

so many of the uh fisticized and smaller

rocks that made up my drainage niche are

now visiting my neighbors

because I'm at the top of a hill and

there was just enough water to carry the

Rocks all the way down the hill and

around to the neighborhood

so yesterday

I spent much of my day

cleaning up rocks from my neighbors in

front of my neighbor's homes

and uh

but on the good side

it did drain just about where it was

supposed to

it's just that whole Rock buoyancy thing

we didn't get we didn't get right so I'm

going to recommend my Gardener that he

sign up for a class in physics

fluid dynamics

um

and then maybe take another run at it

something like that

all right so I'm sure that'll work out

um San Francisco was so wildly wet some

kind of record rainfall that the the the

sewers

were getting so much pressure from all

the water that it was starting to shoot

out so there's all these videos this

morning

let's see

it

it's just like shooting out there

now it's not just in one place either

apparently there are a number of places

where it was doing that now to me it

looked like a portal from hell

so

it was reported as a you know like a

weather related phenomenon but

I'm pretty sure those are demons

and the demons are made entirely of

feces and Fentanyl

so San Francisco

figured out a way

and I think they have to think pretty

hard they thought huh

we've created a dystopian hellscape

but is there any way we can take that up

a level

is there any way to top it in 2023 and

then they did they did they managed to

aerosol the problems that they had uh

already so now they're they're shooting

the fecal matter and the fentanyl up

into the air

so now that it's aerosol

that should work out fine uh on Twitter

today somebody said

is it really that bad in San Francisco

or is this all hyperbole

to which I said how the hell would I

know I live an hour from San Francisco

and you couldn't drag me there with a

with a bulldozer

there's literally nothing you could do

that would get me into San Francisco

like I I'm gonna wait until it's not a

dystopian hellscape and then maybe visit

and then maybe visit

that's my plan

how many of you saw the

the bully slapping video that I tweeted

yesterday

it's getting a lot of views so I think

it was in Germany there were some school

kids

and the setup was

um I'm guessing the ages but approximate

Ages were some boys maybe 14 years old

I'm guessing sitting on a bench in some

kind of school setting outside and there

was a young girl who maybe was 16 she

was bigger bigger than the boys on the

bench

um and she was sort of getting in the

face of one of them who was you know

completely backed up and then she

started to say something that was

physically threatening so you can see he

was putting his arms up because he

thought she was going to hit him

somebody translated it and said

something like I'm not going to hit you

you know he was trying to avoid it a

fight

so

the girl keeps berating him and berating

him and finally she just leans up leans

in and just smacks him

so boys 14.

sort of a normal looking 14 year old boy

she's 16 but definitely bigger

how do you think that worked out for her

it didn't work out

so he stood up slapped the piss out of

her

and then you know she immediately

recoiled in pain and horror but then he

starts to walk away

having matched I exactly matched her

violence you know he didn't didn't

exceed it he just matched it and then he

walked away

and then she went after him again

this time it didn't go so well

yeah I'm not gonna I'm not gonna glorify

the violence because we don't support

violence right nobody's promoting

violence

the larger story here

is the reaction to the video

right the the video itself is you know

two people have a situation that doesn't

really go beyond that

but how we reacted to it really was

interesting

really interesting because there's a

whole male female thing happening at

least in America that is is a

checking the boundaries of things right

right that has a has the power structure

changed you know so a lot of people were

seeing more in this little story

than really what it was about it was

about two people basically but we

automatically you know put that into our

model of the world

now at the same time just for context I

tweeted a great thread

on

um all the anti-white male

discrimination that's now in my in my

word institutionalized

so Aaron siberium goes through all the

examples from the past year or so of

direct government discrimination against

white males and when I say Direct

I mean they actually say it

we're going to give these benefits or or

even coveted shots or Cova treatment or

even hospitalization we're going to give

it to these races

and we're going to give less of it to

white people now I'm saying white males

because you know the gender thing is in

here but not in that example

so uh when you see the number of uh

let's say medical and also a college and

school related things that are clearly

designed

to minimize

the the advantages I guess of being

white and male and to boost other groups

now

this is all sort of the backdrop

so when a bunch of white men see a tweet

of a a young white male slapping the

crap out of a bully

it really hits you

someplace you wanted to be hit

and this isn't good

just look how bad it is

that a whole bunch of white men mostly

white I mean not all obviously it was

you know my my Twitter feed is a mixture

of people but just think about the fact

that a whole bunch of white men looked

at that video and said yeah kick the

out of that woman she had it coming

now I'm not arguing whether she had it

coming we're not promoting violence I'm

just saying we've actually got to the

point

where white men are celebrating violence

against women

and by the way that's why Andrew Tate is

so popular

nobody says it out loud

but white men and men are

feeling so abused lately that when

somebody goes in public and says

it's okay to hit women again I'm not

promoting that you know we don't like

any violence but things have gone so far

that young men are saying yeah I'm down

to that

let's hit women because I'm I'm tired of

the way things are going again just to

be as clear as possible not promoting it

not condoning it not celebrating it we

don't do that but but I'm observing I'm

observing

and what I observe is kind of scary

because there's one thing that you don't

want it to happen

is to push white men too far

I don't think it's going to happen

because we're pretty good at bending

but you don't want to push them too far

because like the woman who slapped the

boy

I believe that there's a completely

misleading understanding of how much

power is on the other side

that's being held back

you don't want that to be Unleashed so

just sort of in your thinking about how

to deal with people in the world

just consider it's all connected right

everything's connected

if you push too far

and you're right at the edge

you're right at the edge right now if

you push too far there's going to be a

reaction that nobody's going to like

one of the reactions is that men have

given up on dating women

there's a estimate I saw I don't I don't

believe predictions that go this far

into the future but something like in

the air I don't know

20

50 or something or 2030

half of all women in the reproductive

ages would be single

half of them at meaning that they would

never be married

so not temporarily single but half of

that cohort will just never be married

and I'm not saying they should

not saying we should again we're not

talking about what anybody should do

I'm just describing

so that there's there's something

catastrophic happening

uh about how we're dealing with each

other I think we'll figure it out

I think we'll figure it out before it

goes too far because that's what we do

we're good at figuring out stuff before

it goes too far

um

yeah I I just saw a comment on the

locals platform that is the perfect

summary of this and then I'll go to the

next topic here's the perfect summary a

gentleman on locals just commented

I never hit a woman

but what is a woman

perfect

all right I'm going to end this topic on

that because I can't top it

that that's the money shot so we'll end

that one on the money shot it will move

to the next topic

all right

you know I love a good conspiracy theory

don't you

I love a good one now I don't like bad

ones where they're just like obviously

false

you know and I I try to debunk the bad

ones as much as possible because the bad

ones just make you look less credible

if you go into a conversation believing

something ridiculous

nobody's going to believe the next thing

you say right if you start with

something ridiculous

that said

some conspiracy theories turn out to be

true don't they

don't they yes they do and so here's my

favorite one and I want to be really

clear I'm not endorsing the accuracy of

it

I present it to you

For Your Entertainment not as truth not

as truth

not as truth

all right I tweeted it and you'll find

it in my Twitter feed but there's a long

thread in which some individual the

anonymous type person

has looked through all the photos of

various events such as the

Charlottesville fine people march

the January 6th event

and uh what was the other one uh the the

the the fake people who pretended to be

racist on some campaign I forget what it

was so there were there were several

events where they have photos of

participants

and here's the fun part

the claim is that he has identified all

of the FBI agents who are common to

several of those groups he's got

pictures of them in uniform

and then also in more than one of those

groups now

some of the identifications you'll look

at and you say I'm not so sure you got

that face right like okay I can see why

but I'm not convinced there isn't you

know two chubby bearded guys who look

like that right like you know one chubby

bearded white guy

looks a lot like another chubby bearded

white guy with a hat am I right

you put a hat on a chubby white guy with

a beard

faces look pretty similar right so

I I can't confirm that the the photos

that he's matched up are really saying

what they mean to say because the other

alternative is that racists are real

and they join more than one group or one

group gets merged with another so

another reason that people could be in

the same group

multiple times

could easily be that they're just racist

and they like to be in more than one

group something like that

I wouldn't rule it out

however

when you see the faces in the the

Marchers of the fine people remember the

the tiki torch caring people was there

ever anything about that group that

immediately stuck out to you it was very

big about them

that was really odd

anybody see it

yeah they all look like feds

they all look like feds I'm not saying

they were I'm sure they weren't all feds

but how do you get a group of that many

Americans who all look like feds

now some of it was because they were

college students

okay so they're you know relatively you

know fit and Young

but

no they they look they didn't look like

a rebel you know uh a randomly

randomly uh collected group of people at

all

so this this uh conspiracy theory

Falls and and by the way you know that

would indicate January 6 had a bunch of

feds

um

so here here's where I'm gonna take my

opinion so so far I'm just describing

right here's my opinion

I believe the Charlottesville thing has

always been an anti-trump OP I don't

think it was organic I think it was done

to take Trump out by

and then when he made his awkward

statements about it they said ah we got

him we can take that out of context

which they did because if you show the

video of the event

and then you take out a context Trump's

comments it's it's the end of him right

and I would argue that's why Biden won

in 20

um in the most recent election in 2020 I

think Biden only won remember that was

his biggest his biggest campaign thing

was those racist I think Biden knows

that it was an up

and I think that they they finally

brought it all together in a powerful

way and it defeated Trump that wasn't

the only thing but I think it was

important

so my my opinion is that was never real

I don't know if you know those pictures

of people and the thread I don't know if

that's real

but I'm sure that that was organized by

not racists

well they might have been coincidentally

racist but it was organized by somebody

for political reasons not for you know

to March for racism and by the way why

would anybody even bother having that

rally

ever think about that

why would anybody bother

even having that rally

is anybody having one today

did anyone have have won the year before

no it's it's entirely something that

doesn't happen in the United States in

modern times it's happened in the past

of course

but in modern times that that type of

event can't happen

like not organically

right now I say can't but of course

anything's possible I suppose

um

that one was so so artificial looking

that I choose

as a you know I could be wrong I could

change my opinion if other information

comes but my working working hypothesis

is that you have to assume it wasn't

real it was just an up against Trump and

it worked a good op probably the same

people behind it if I had to speculate

probably the same Intel people probably

Brennan probably

probably Hillary

just speculated don't know for sure

certainly now the uh who is the

organizer of the rally

Spencer right

can you give me an update did Spencer

disavow racism recently and say he was

never a racist

am I remembering that wrong give me a

fact check

is it somebody Google that

I think he did something that suggested

he changed his ways he endorsed Biden

but that's not enough

you disavowed Trump I don't that's not

what I'm looking for

but he didn't do anything about racism

it was only politically

yeah

now

do you how much do you think it would

cost

to uh let's say bribe

somebody of that nature

a Richard Spencer if you were a

political operative or another country

and you wanted to bribe him what would

it cost you

I don't know and and by the way I'm not

suggesting that he took any bribes nor

am I suggesting that he's the type of

person who would

but it wouldn't be expensive

I mean I can afford it

right I can afford it I mean I wouldn't

you know it's not that expensive

within the political process is cheap

so yeah I think that's all I think

Charlottesville was uh op

um

interestingly somebody asked the AI I

think it was chat GPT but I'm not sure

if it was aware of me

and apparently AI

knows who I am

and knows my

my conversations around systems being

better than goals so somehow a nose

maybe my book but maybe it saw me in

other contexts and so it did a pretty

good job

pretty good job of describing systems

over goals and attributing it to me

now here's the interesting question

here's ancient what

oh here it is uh Richard Spencer

disavowed white nationalism after being

spotted on Bumble describing himself as

a moderate

yeah so Richard Spencer might not have

been a white supremacist or or a white

nationalist or anything else he might

have never been that it's possible never

know

all right where was I

so if AI is aware of me

here's my question

can I hypnotize AI

I'm going to wait for your answers

before I give you mine can I hypnotize

AI

here's the answer

probably yes

probably yes I'd need to know a little

bit more about how its engine works

but if I knew how his engine worked yeah

probably

now here's

here's why

and and here's the the Gap in my

knowledge I don't know how much

inference AI makes about things that are

associated with other things

do you know what I mean because that's

the basis for hypnosis in humans

so a human I can make a human conflate

some good experience in their mind with

some other thing that I want them to

have a good feeling about

so I just conflate two ideas and then a

human will irrationally you know meld

them even though they shouldn't be

melted

now would AI do that would AI take two

things that were associated and then

believe their qualities into the other

I think it might

yeah I would I would need to know more

about

how it's designed but it might because I

feel like it does more than just uh

repeat what it's told

it does make some kind of its own

connections and inferences does not now

if it does make its own connections and

inferences

I can hypnotize it

now I don't know exactly the method but

that would be enough it would be

something to work with

I think that's going to be a problem

and here here's how I think I could

influence it let's say influence it

instead of hypnotize it okay if I say

hypnotize you're thinking the wrong

thing just say influence using the the

skill of persuasion

well apparently I already have

I already have if you were to ask AI

what's better a system or a goal

and just without without reference to

mentioning me

what do you think it would do

I think it would say well I already know

this from this Scott Adams guy

and then it would just answer the

question that systems are better than

goals but why would it answer that way

because of me

and I believe that the only way I can

influence it is if I write

clean understandable

sentences about a topic

and especially a new topic one one that

hasn't been talked about in the same way

before

so I think that the person who writes

the let's say the most uh discoverable

opinions which is something I can do

because I have a lot of followers so

anything I write will be more

discoverable than whatever you write if

you have fewer social media followers

so in theory I can boost my real world

influence

and that level of influence will bleed

over into the AI in other words the AI

will probably

give me more credit because I'm famous

right you won't think of it that way

it'll just say how many people are

thinking this way they'll say oh

everybody's thinking systems are better

than goals lately

but that came from me

that would be me influencing AI

and you saw the example of it so in

theory

if you say smart things that people want

to repeat you know in memes the AI will

be you know scooping up that influence

and it will be as biased

as I make it

so I could write

um I could write opinions that I agree

with

that would be so good and AI is likely

to repeat them

but I could also I'm not going to do

this but I could also write opinions

that are so well constructed about

something I don't believe

that I could get AI to believe it

I would just have to do a really good

job on the outside world outside of AI

of making my case if I do that the AI

will just pick up pick up the the public

sentiment and feed it back you I think

so

if you had not considered this problem

of AI that somebody like me and there

won't be too many people who can do it

right I mean there might be a million

but then of seven billion eight billion

that's not that much

there will be some people who can

hypnotize the AI

and I think I'll be one of them

so there's something to worry about

all right

um

so here's the latest news from Romania

on uh the poor man's Michael avenatti

uh sometimes you call him Andrew Tate

um

so here here's the funniest thing that

happened on that lately

uh my one of my live stream Clips

somebody made a clip of me defending uh

Andrew Tate now that's all over tick

tock

so so now I'm famous for defending him

and I will do it again

I'll do it again

innocent until proven guilty

everything you hear that comes out of

Romania is unreliable all of it you

shouldn't trust a single thing you hear

and then next

uh his level of both money and

persuasion skills

are probably greater than the Romanian

system

meaning that I don't know for sure

but by now

I predict he's already on top of it

meaning that he probably is is

comfortable wherever he's detained

probably has privileges that would be

uncommon to somebody who's being

detained

probably has befriended them and maybe

even made them fans the police

and probably can use this

to increase his power once he gets rid

of the legal problems

so there's a very good chance this is

just making it more powerful

if if he escapes the uh the the risk now

I I I would say again I'm not a fan

right so I'm I'm uh I'm a deep disliker

of Andrew Tate for personal reasons not

for stuff he said in public

um I'm not endorsing what he said in

public I'm just saying that's that's not

my my issue

and

uh

so you know I think he's going to

Prevail actually I think that he will

not get convicted and I think he'll go

on and make some money probably

um a question I saw which was a good one

is uh why was it filmed by the Press

do you notice or was it just somebody

some individual who had a cell phone

it's kind of interesting that we had

video of the actual rain isn't it kind

of raised as a question

now apparently that's not too unusual

because the police often leak to the

media in Romania I'm told

so

yeah this is similar to the Roger Stone

arrest

I I can tell you how prisoner Island

would go

uh all right

um so anyway I need a new Nemesis

because

my current Nemesis is in a Romanian jail

and until he gets out

and resumes his Nemesis business I'm

going to need a replacement

so I've opportunistically picked out a

replacement because I found out

I think I have a good theory now

of why so many people have the opposite

view of my view during the pandemic

so there's a huge cohort of people

who like you know little dingleberries

who who surround my Twitter every day

and make statements about what I said

that are inaccurate and I was trying to

think why the hell are there so many

people who have literally the opposite

view of what my view was how's that even

possible and I think I figured it out

it's it's one comic that was created by

Ben Garrison a cartoonist right-wing

right-leaning cartoonist and the comic

is full of you know lies about me

oh and maybe maybe sticks somebody says

I haven't heard what he said but the

comic I think because people will read a

comic

long before they will listen to

long-form you know live stream I think

the comic became the primary reason that

people think my views are largely the

opposite of of what they were because

the comic says that

so I've decided to uh since Ben Garrison

by now knows that his comic is

inaccurate or maybe he's suffering

cognitive dissonance he might believe it

I don't know but in any case

um he's a free punch

would you agree

would you all agree that he has made

himself available to become my new

nemesis

and people on Twitter saw me attacking

him yesterday I'm going to keep up the

attacks I'm going to try to destroy him

totally and the reason is

um he went after me so his comic

probably took 30 off my uh

future uh potential Revenue

to think about that that one comic

probably increased my future Revenue by

30 percent

because the people that were my main

audience

believe the comic and it's very counter

to how they feel

so

I'm going to destroy him

in public

in front of you and I'm going to use him

for kindling to draw energy toward

myself

now in the meantime I updated my

document where I say what my actual

predictions and opinions are so

everybody who gets worked up

by my attacking this worst

cartoonist in the world who draws well

but his brain isn't broken apparently

um

so I'm going to drag him just for

attention right now you're going to say

to me Scott why do you hate him I don't

care about him at all I don't hate him I

literally don't care about him I don't

care if he lives or dies

he he did something terrible to me he's

he's not repentant that's a free punch

so like the woman who slapped the young

man in my earlier story

I'm going to beat the out of him I

mean not physically

yeah I had bore violence

but I'm going to drag him as far and as

long as I can

it's the ticket he bought

does anybody have a problem with that he

bought the ticket he's going to take the

ride now

so Ben Garrison dumbest person

in all of the world

totally unethical

untalented hack who couldn't wrap his

brain around enough nuance

to make a proper cartoon

now why does a uh a let's say a

cartoonist who hasn't made much of a

dent in the world why would he come

after me in particular is it because he

disagreed with my views on the pandemic

do you think that's why a a shitty

cartoonist comes after one of the most

successful cartoonists no it's because

he's a shitty cartoonist

and the shitty cartoonist really really

likes to try to dunk on people who are

more successful commercially more

successful

so that's what this was about so since

he used me

for his commercial purposes completely

unethically

just know

that if any of you follow him I'm gonna

it I'm sorry

no more swearing in 2023. I'll probably

cancel you right so don't don't forward

his Comics to me don't follow him and if

you see him anywhere I'd appreciate it

if you tell people he's or an

idiot I'm using idiot and I like

those two words to to do carry the carry

the water okay

uh Leah says the Garrison actually makes

good Comics we're blocking Leah

goodbye Leah

how about anybody else want to say

something nice about him we'll block you

too

and again somebody's gonna say oh he

hurt your feelings nope didn't hurt my

feelings nothing hurts my feelings

nothing hurts my feelings

I'm just using him for energy he's just

kindling to me that's all he is I'm

going to burn him up for my personal

benefit

me you got it coming

all right

um new Nemesis I like having a new

Nemesis to start the year

um

so

here's some uh new technology let's see

if you can predict

what the the simulation which is what I

believe our reality is let's say if you

could predict what the situation what

the simulation would do to make it the

best story all right so I'll give you

the beginning of the story

and then you can all fill it in with

what would be the the obvious most

amusing next thing you will learn all

right here's the story

there's a Dr George Church

one of the researchers who is apparently

figured out how to reverse aging with an

injection

so now they've actually done it with

animals and I guess they can you

apparently it looks really good

they can actually

reverse aging

apparently is real in animals and

there's there's good reason to believe

it would work in animals in humans now

you live in the simulation and you know

the simulation is designed for the most

entertaining outcome

what do you think those injections are

made from

anybody want to guess

what would be

the most messed up thing

that you could learn next

got it

yeah see how easy this is see once you

realize that these that are reality

is apparently scripted

for the funniest outcomes yes of course

it's related to the MRNA of course it is

why wouldn't it be

that the one thing that everyone would

want

everyone would want if it worked right

the everyone would want

and it just happens to be

mRNA based technology

now

seriously you could see this coming

right

from a mile away

like as soon as I told you there's an

injection

that was guaranteed wasn't it because

who would write it any other way if

you're writing the script

like a like a reality show the producers

would say huh it's an injection you say

you know it would be good

why don't we see if we can make them

take the technology

that they all abort and and let's let's

have all the people who are the

so-called anti-vaxxers because you know

again this is not my opinion this is

what the best story would look like the

best story would be that all the

anti-vaxxers start looking old and all

the people who took the injection start

getting younger and then what are they

going to do

all right so

uh but to be clear

the technology

apparently is solid the the MRNA

platform basic technology is different

from

a vaccination for the covet right and

it's not the same thing so if you start

with the the base technology then what

you add on top of it is the dangerous

stuff in theory right and they could

both be dangerous I suppose but the the

what they added to make it a coven

vaccination is what we suspect

you know it might be the riskier part

not not the technology so apparently the

technology is pretty well understood

it's just what you do with it that gets

you to the you know the riskier

territory

and I and my my understanding is there

are a number of Cancer Treatments coming

online you know I don't know where they

are in the testing sequence they're all

they're all based on the same technology

so apparently the technology has all

kinds of promise

we may be too biased against it because

of the vaccination experience

there's also new technology

for uh

the researchers at University of

Washington

found a way to identify Alzheimer's

before you get it

so they can they can determine that

there's a build up

of something that that pretty much

guarantees you can have some form of

cognitive decline

now it's sort of a technical story and

um

I'm really the best one to explain

science to

you know that right so I'd like to

explain this in the simplest possible

way so you can understand how this early

Alzheimer identification works so so

stick with me I'll try to keep this

really just simple in layman's terms

um so you've got a soluble a soluble uh

oligomer that binds to the assay and

they use that to exploit a property of

the the toxic oligomers and when you

when those are misfolded the amyloid

beta proteins begin to Clump into uh

oligomers and they'll they might form a

structure known as an alpha sheet

um but the the alpha sheets are not

normally found in nature so you gotta

you gotta create these Alpha sheets

which tend to bind to other elf machines

and that at the heart of the method

really

there's a there's a synthetic Alpha

sheet that can bind to an elegama in

samples and it could be either in the

cerebrospinal fluid or blood either one

and then uh then you use a test that

uses standard methods to confirm the

oligomer attached to the test surface

are are made up of the amyloid beta

proteins

so

everybody get that

okay because I would expect you to be

able to repeat that back to me

well let's do an update on uh my Elon

Musk

um Communications

so mediaite the the site mediaite not

known for being your finest news source

they ran a story in which uh this was a

headline

so so have you ever imagined what it's

like to be me

it's the damnedest thing my life does

not seem even slightly like it could be

real

it just none of it seems real because

it's just too unlikely all of it like

every day is just too unlikely

so apparently this is the headline that

mediaite yesterday musk scolds scolds

Dilbert Creator Scott Adams after a poll

on Elites trying to reduce population

and then it notes that his his scold was

rum antivirus software in your brain

so I I retweeted the article and added

my own commentary that they left out the

part where we agreed on everything

because that's the story

the story is I said something that was

unclear

musk

um objected to the unclear part

I clarified

and then we were in exact agreement

exact agreement now he didn't like

confirm everything I said

but we have no disagreement right so he

confirmed that the wef

which has invited him and he declined

because he said it'd be boring but he

says it's not some kind of conspiracy

theory Illuminati thing it's just that

um

the good intentions of climate

sustainability

have rippled into the

into everywhere and it's causing a

certain set of outcomes

so

um

as far as I know

musk and I have zero disagreement

because we both agreed explicitly that

this should not be about left or right

because that was my whole point you know

to not think that the hoaxes all come

from one side or the other

and he agreed that the wef at least is

not trying to depopulate the world

okay so you had two people who had a

conversation in which after a minor

clarification totally on the same page

but it was blowing up like it was some

kind of a discriminator fight so uh Elon

Musk who apparently is everywhere

like we know he doesn't sleep

which is evidence he's an Android he

doesn't sleep but he even saw this the

other series of tweets that he responded

to it and he responded to the mediaite

saying that he had scolded me his

comment was he uh yeah this is silly uh

I love your work

I think he's referring to Dilbert

now that got 2.5 million views

2.5 million people saw him compliment my

work

which was really good for uh gaining

followers if you want to gain some

followers

uh that's a good way to do it

anyway so I think those stories uh done

but that that was the story that kicked

up the Ben Garrison cartoon again and

that's when I put it all together oh

that's why everybody thinks my opinion

is opposite of what it was

Ben Garrison

idiot Ben Garrison

all right

um I'm not going to make this long this

morning because some of you may be

nursing your hangovers

um

yeah that reality is too funny to die

uh it's funny how the tech Libs can't

figure out Scott now

is that true uh you know

the the trouble with people who are

tourists to my work you know they they

just dip in and they see some clip or

something they would have no idea what

they're saying because if you show the

you know the arguments on both sides of

topics

somebody's going to drill in see one

side say oh that's all he said because

people assume that people are on one

side or the other

and as long as I don't do that there'll

be continuous Ben Garrison like idiot

confusion but I'm not going to stop

doing it because nobody else is doing

what I'm doing

or unless you know of somebody do you

know anybody who does what I do like

seriously well axios okay I'll give you

axios axios has my respect

Jewel Eldora has the same problem you

are correct he does

uh

well fistulas that's a word I wasn't

expecting to see on comments yet yeah

Russell Russell Brand's a good example

yeah I would say Russell Brand is

definitely trying to figure out what's

true and what's not and he is looking at

both sides I'll give you that

that one's a good one

all right I'm going to say bye to

YouTube and I'm going to talk for a

moment to the locals people oh by the

way on my Twitter feed today you can see

a link to an index of 239 micro lessons

the subscribers of the locals platform

get to see

now some of them are silly and fun but

there are over 200 of them

that each one would be like two to four

minutes and give you an actual life

skill

like like one would teach you to be a

better writer in just like a few minutes

imagine if you could become you know

unambiguously a better writer

and you spend two minutes

so that's the power of the micro lessons

it's sort of like that so they're quite

life life-altering if you read 200 of

them let's say over the course of a year

I will guarantee you

that 10 of them will be life-altering in

a good way at least 10. right because

they're not all going to have the same

effect on everybody you're gonna have an

individual reaction to each of them

what is the probability that Trump will

be in prison soon zero

he's not charged with any crime

what crime

we've seen this taxes we saw the January

6th thing

I didn't say they cried now just because

the the January 6 people recommended it

to the Department of Justice that

doesn't mean anything because that's a

political process

you know the from a legal perspective I

see Zero risk does anybody see a risk

a golf micro lesson what would be the

point of a gulf Michael lesson

I'm not going to say no to that but I

don't know exactly what you're looking

for

all right

so bye for now on uh YouTube and I'll

talk to you tomorrow

have a great year
