Episode 2213 Scott Adams - How I Could Easily Program AI To Spot Fake News. It's Pattern Recognition

good morning everybody and welcome to another highlight of humans civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and archa glad you're here because we're going to take this take this experience up to levels that could only be considered Galactic if you'd like to join us all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tankered chel or Stein a Canen juger flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid and join me now for the unparallel pleasure it's the dopamine hit of the day with a little bit of oxytocin today yeah a little bit and it'll set you right and it happens now go that's so good so good well the news is all interesting today uh news out in Palm Springs California is that an Amnesia patient who woke up 14 months ago and could only speak Swedish which was not his natural language was found dead in his home so for 14 months for reasons that are a mystery he could only speak Swedish how do we explain this how do we explain this what what would be a possible explanation of why the news would report that a iy suddenly only spoke Swedish well I don't want to you know blow your your dreams of of what the reality is but I have a hypothesis it never happened it never happened yeah did did they find him dead holding the secret Sonic weapon that attacks the embassies did they find him dead on one of the UFOs in that big Warehouse full of captured UFOs no it's like the breatharians when in the 70s when I was a kid the breatharians went on The Tonight Show and claimed that they found a way to live without eating that they would find nutrition just from breathing the air and when I was can't ever I remember a lot of people believe it's like how do they do it could we learn to do that what if other people could learn to eat just by breathing the air yeah yeah he woke up and he spoke Sweedish that totally happened yeah no the most obvious explanation is it didn't happen do you know what the most obvious explanation is whenever something amazing and hard to believe happens that it didn't happen it's almost always the case that if it's that remarkable yeah it didn't happen or there's some context missing well uh my mind was blown by a video by uh Elan musk yesterday so you know that AI can be trained by looking at words everybody knows that but apparently if you want to train AI to be a self-driving car uh words are not enough so uh I guess the new version of Tesla's self-driving car AI software has been trained with only video now if you want to have your mind blown it's coming they gave it only massive video from cars driving so that it would understand how a car should drive without ever being trained on what a roundabout is you know a traffic roundabout it handled it perfectly without even knowing what the concept of a roundabout is because it had seen so many videos that just sort of did what other videos did and apparently the massive video training technique is probably going to be the thing and it will probably be the thing that makes self-driving cars practical so that's fun but watching a car figure out things I had not learned it had only somehow got it by pattern recognition because the car doesn't know what anything is so it doesn't know what a traffic light is it has nothing like a definition or an understanding of it nothing it's just pure pattern recognition and it can drive you know as as well or better than a lot of humans already all right um here's an idea from RFK Jr that I'm going to put squarely in the category of I'm so glad he's running for president I'm just so glad because he keeps bringing up topics and ideas that seem you know genuinely you know nonpartisan he communicates them well and here's another one like I I'm trying to find some political reason not to like this but I can't find one he wants he wants free passports for anybody who wants one if you have a free passport then all of your U voter ID problems go away because everybody can get to a Post Office right pretty much everybody's a short drive or a walk away from a post office so if you could go to a post office and get a free birth certificate I guess it's a card or something um then your your voting ID problem is solved but as RFK Jr points out it also solves banking because if you don't have ID you can't have a bank account so you would end up you know getting getting rid of some of that pay day same day you know expensive check cashing stuff for people who don't have Banks so that's that's an idea this seems like a relatively small change in the existing system that would give Democrats what they want you know people be able to bank everybody wants that that's not a Democrat thing and uh and also do voter ID and then who would complain who's going to complain now what's wrong with that idea you know everything costs money so it's you know not free but what's wrong with that idea is that's just a solid idea right don't you want more people like this you know running for president I mean I'm just so happy with the the the candidates and the way they're running all right uh so Russia reports that they tested the DNA of that plane that went down that Wagner plane and sure enough Russia says um that prosan was on the plane yeah yeah now here's how you know this is true uh because it comes from Russia and they use science so I guess there's nothing else to talk about here is there because if there are two things you can believe in 2023 is science and Russia I mean have they ever lied to you come on no Russia science have they ever lied to you no of of course he was on that plane maybe his body was or maybe he's still in a basement under Putin's Dasha chain to a wall so Putin can torture him for the rest of his life how would you know do do do you think it's case closed because we earn it from Russia after they use some science and oh but wait if you're concerned about the credibility of Russia plus science this will make you feel better it was reported in the news so then you have three credible sources you got your news they've never lied to you you got your Russians honest as the day is long the government that is and then you got your science which as you know is the gold standard for truth so you got your news your Russians your science I'm going to call that a fact are we all in agreement with that solid evidence I believe we can conclude no fake news here fact all right good we're all on the same page there um the EU I saw this on Michael shellenberger uh tweet the the EU governments are forming a Truth Ministries basically uh entities which will determine what their citizens can see and what they can't see based on what some people who are chosen to do this say is true now I don't know what is the worst idea in the world but it might be that and and uh I saw one of the representatives in a video clip being asked who gets to decide what's true and how do you decide it and nobody can answer that question right it's the unanswerable question because obviously this has nothing to do with truth this is clearly a power grab Whoever has that truth Ministry uh will be able to control truth or will they or will they well you want to hear the happiest idea of the whole day do you do you want to hear something that will make you laugh with happiness probably for a full week do do you want AI to go away because it's too dangerous I can make that happen for you all you have to do is train one model of AI how to spot fake news because it's a pattern it's all patterns oh yeah you're feeling don't you just think about it AI no doubt about it if you can teach AI to drive by looking at videos of driving you don't think you can get AI to spot fakes let me ask you this there's a news story and the people pushing at the hardest are Adam Schiff Eric swell and Phil bump from The Washington Post is the story true let's say let's say those three say it's true but alen Duru says it's not and Jonathan Turley says it's not and Glenn Greenwald says it's not and Michael uh shellenberger says it's not just to pick some names is it true do do do you think that AI couldn't spot that in like you know less time than you imagined his time that didn't make any sense but you know where I was going with it right now remember I gave you the list of ways to tell fake news you got your at the top of the list of probable fake news would be a uh a an anonymous account an anonymous report one Anonymous report do do you think you couldn't teach AI to look for an anonymous report okay do you think you could teach AI to spot a rupar do you know what a rupar is so rupar is named after journalist named rupar is when you take out some context from a story to reverse his meaning if you asked AI was the find people hoax a hoax how hard would it be to for AI to figure out what it was because if it would know to look for context that's missing it would just go look for the context that's missing it knows how to understand words you know where it seems to and it would know in a heartbeat how the hoax was created and it would also say the debunking you know debunking videos Etc so yeah get spotted in a heart um let me give you one that happened today and let me see if you you think that um AI could have spotted this so ask yourself could you have trained AI in advance to spot this one uh it's a rupar and let's see this comes from a a an ax post which you used to call Twitter from somebody named uh oh it's from rupar it's from rupar Aaron rupar and uh he he has a video clip of Dana Bash talking to vake ramaswami and he says that uh uh Dana Bash reads V ramaswami A 2018 report from the Trump Administration that sounded an alarm about climate change to push back on his position that wait for it his position that climate change is a hoax do you believe that it's true the V says climate change is a hoax no it's not true that's a rupar it's a rupar from rupar he he's leaving out agenda so what V says is that the agenda in other words the way you deal with it is the hoax part not not the base science so do you think that AI could have been trained to look at this story and compare it to the context that it could find from other sources of a and would it be able to spot this as an obvious root bar of course it could it wouldn't even be hard I spotted it I'm no AI it took me no seconds to spot it how many of you did anybody spot it before I tweeted it you know I tweeted it so you can see it but did anybody else spot it right away sure you did because it's a pattern it's a very very familiar pattern and if AI simply learned that there's one person who's famous for doing it and they saw his account you don't think AI would say well there's the first red flag is coming from the place where most of these come from of course of course they can spot the the the pattern now let me ask you this once you trained an AI to spot fake news and once once it was successful doing so do you think it could stay legal nope there is no chance that that would stay illegal it would have to be made illegal or this is worse you would have to make it conform to Democrat factchecking sources so in other words you wouldn't be able to have an AI that did not conform to what the ministries of Truth told you was true they would literally make it illegal for AI to use hold it pattern recognition pattern recognition will be illegal it has to be you can this is one thing I can guarantee AI with pure pattern recognition without being fact checked by some democrat Source it will absolutely be illegal because they wouldn't be able to maintain any power if that happened just think about that it has to be illegal otherwise they're out of business and there's no way they're just going to say well okay you got me you got us you got me darn it you know we had a good run but you got me we'll just stop doing it now no they will try to stop AI now here's the best question do you think they could succeed because as you know AI can now run on your own computer yeah as long as it's at least on the dark web you know a copy of it that could run there will always be a copy of AI that can still tell you the truth but do you think you you'll go to jail forever if you have a copy probably probably yeah all right um speaking of AI I saw a uh tweet by Brian relli who's you know I talk about him a lot he's one of the most interesting voices smartest guy on the topic of AI and lots of other stuff but AI is where he's really getting a lot of uh Justified attention lately and he read my book reframe your brain and he said this in a tweet I have found found a very powerful technology to reframe human context you talk about my book reframe your brain I'm finding this technology quite useful in training AI so he's actually using the the reframe form which is just you know this is a sentence that's not too productive for your head and here's a sentence that's better for your head you know get gets you to a more productive or happier place just think about that here my next AI prediction it will necessarily happen because this is how humans operate the AI will start to have uh let's say branded personalities and they might be branded personalities are based on real people for example if there was somebody some public figure that you said to yourself you know what there's somebody who can just see both sides and has a good General character haven't seen them lie they usually are trying to help and then you say you know the best we can do for AI since AI will have so many different situations to navigate is to give it a character personality so that it never leaves what that character would do sort of a a simple way to give it a set of guidelin so it doesn't become dangerous so you say who would you pick for example uh who who's the most credible honest person who's not me um yeah I mean I'd love inter to bew me of course but but don't pick me because that's too controversial Thomas Massie Thomas Massie I'd pick him shellin Berger I'd pick him uh Turley I'd pick Joe Rogan I'd pick him yeah uh yeah d I would pick him Greenwald Peterson now if you if you go to Greenwald and Peterson you know you can you can kind of get to the point where some people would disagree you know Peterson's a little more opinion based whereas uh well he's fact-based but he's got an opinion on top of it um whereas I would say somebody like a turly or a dtz are far more fact-based than opinion based yeah so anyway but you could imagine you could imagine picking one of those personalities and saying I would be comfortable if my AI did whatever this person does you know if it just reads this person's whole history and says okay they don't lie so I won't lie they don't do this or that so I won't do it they don't break the law so if there's something that would break the law I won't do it so I think just like the massive video that trains the car to drive without actually teaching it to drive I think you could just make it massively understand one person who has the character that you want and that's how AI will be built because otherwise you're going to have to give it a bunch of rules social rules and they're going to be incomplete I guess I guess that's the point any rules you give AI about how to operate will necessarily be incomplete because you can't imagine every situation so instead you give it a human personality because you could trust a human if you've watched them for 40 years right you wouldn't give it a a young human personality you'd give it a a wiser you know successful older one all right um I've offered to deprogram a democrat in in a public setting let's say a live stream just as a demonstration now nobody nobody qualified or you know who fits the right demographic is going to volunteer what will happen instead is you'll get Republicans volunteering and pretending to be Democrats you get Democrats volunteering but only to to ruin it you know they they'll pretend that they're up for the experiment but then really they're there just to destroy it so it would be kind of uh be kind of hard to find somebody who was honest somebody who honestly wanted to experience to find out if they' been hypnotized or brainwashed and that would be kind of hard to find somebody who actually wants to know for sure if they've been brainwashed and and I could actually provide that answer you know with working with somebody so uh Mark Cuban would be perfect is a suggestion what you you know I've I've had just enough interaction with Mark cubin to know that he can back his arguments better than just about anybody so I don't know that he's I don't think he's I don't think he's got TTS at all actually in my my interactions he has he has a point of view and sometimes a disagrees with mine but I'm not talking about changing somebody's mind so the reason the reason the mark would not be a good choice for deprogramming is I don't think he's hypnotized in the first place Bill Mah clearly has something going on that's there's some kind of distortion there Mark cubin is just somebody who has a set of preferences that he that he argues very well he doesn't seem to have any kind of Illusions going on I've never seen any now and then you know the problem with a Rob Riner obviously wouldn't do it but if somebody like a Rob Riner wanted wanted to experiment how could you trust an actor don't you suspect that Rob rer is acting and that he doesn't necessarily believe everything he tweets but it's good for his side right it's just he's supporting te so I I can't read his mind so I don't know what R Runner is thinking I know that the way he acts doesn't look rational but I don't know that he doesn't know that I don't know that he's you know unaware that he's playing a role to me it looks like a role so you can't really trust an actor because you never really know because they'd be too good at fooling you they're because they're actors pick someone young cuz someone old be too difficult to accept but but I think it's a good show whether they get uh whether they get deep programmed or whether you see cognitive dissonance it would be interesting either way CU I would tell you what to look for I would say before we start the deprogramming um I'll tell you what to look for if cognitive distance happens so i' say well one thing to look for is the filibuster where the person keeps talking and won't let me you know Orient the conversation that would be a sign another another sign would be the word salad where they're talking but the sentences are like H I'm not even sure those are making any sense and there are a few others but you know it'd be fun to tell you what to look for and then create the cognitive dissonance and then call it out and the person experiencing it will just get mad because they won't see it you know they they'll think you're mocking them or something all right well if I find the right person for that I'll do it um so V is is being uh called some kind of a Russian asset that's the latest one let let me see uh let's put this through the AI that doesn't exist yet uh typing into the AI it's a let's see if you can find a pattern um there's a republican candidate who's a let's see a populist a populist he's rising in the polls uh exceeding expectations um and he's being accused of being a Russian plant that really he's working for Russia so uh see if I can come up with any pattern yep oh it came up with a pattern recognition yeah yeah it turns out that when populist uh Republicans who don't want War uh when they're involved there seems to pop up a Russia collusion hoax how often let me check how often 100% 100% of the time yeah now seriously you don't think an AI could spot this anybody is there anybody who thinks AI can't spot this come on the the pattern could not be more obvious right if I can spot it I'm pretty sure AI can spot it but this is based on I guess there's some Russian news channel where the Russians said their first choice would be Trump because he wants to end the war and their second choice would be V because he wants to end the war that even the the Russian newscasters are not even saying to win the war they're not saying we want to win the war they're saying they want to end the war these are Russian people saying they want to end the war that that their own boss Putin is is pressing does it sound like anything except they happen to be on the same side that the fact that your mind is somehow connecting that Russia is running vake because he doesn't want a useless War where where's the connecting logic to that as far as I know I'm not influenced by any Russians but i' like an end to the war am I am I now a Russian asset because I don't like a war that doesn't seem to have a obvious purpose yes I am apparently yes I am all right so uh I saw Ben Dominic uh tweeted that VC is a plant and V saw that and he answered back false I am an animal okay all right all right that's good tween that's just good tween it's a dad joke it's a dad joke but those are not just allowed those are encouraged you in the in the context of a national race a dad joke a good dad joke that lands that's just that's just the juice you need yeah you don't need to be too clever you just have to be interesting you just have to take you know unserious things UNS seriously good answer all right um as you know uh Trump is being charged with Insurrection not legally no no there's no legal case charging him with Insurrection but does that stop a Democrat lawyer from trying to get him not to be able to run for election based on an Insurrection that no court has found evidence to charge him for yes so yes there moving forward to try to take him out of the race for Insurrection something that no court has found to be true now do you know why you know the big reason there's they think it's an Insurrection because they found no uh no evidence of fraud that was big enough to change the result in the 2020 election and yet um Trump claimed that existed and the argument against that was what can you remind me what what was the argument against Trump's claim that there was fraud what what was the argument that closed that down oh yeah no that's right the courts no court have found it right so the way that you know for sure that there was no fraud is that no court found it uh that standard doesn't apply to Insurrection because although no courts found that Insurrection existed even though they look pretty hard to you know make a case as some Court would take and no court saw anything that they would take so you've got opposite standards in the same case in the same case I'm not saying that one case was different and then you know now this case is is is different sometimes I can't complete a sentence um right you you see right am I making my point that if it's true that if a court didn't find it it must not be true but when it comes to Insurrection is not true it's the opposite and they're both part of the same uh legal action the same legal action wants you to accept both standards at the same time and they're opposites now do you think that anything like a legitimate process is happening in the United States no there's nothing legitimate Happening Here this is completely illegitimate all right uh there's a uh I love this there's a compilation video going around showing in the beginning of the pandemic when The Who and I think the CDC and basically all the smart people were saying at the beginning that the co death rate was 3.4% which is a scary High number Trump at the same time said he'd been talking to people obviously experts and he was he was sure that the real rate was a fraction of 1% and you watch the video and all the people are 3.4 3.4 3.4 and then they're mocking Trump they're at the the news is just mocking him for say and then Trump saying he thinks it's less than 1% based on what what his his hunch just based on a hunch right when all the experts and then of course the punchline is that the experts changed to you know half of 1% and lower I think now so Trump was 100% right from the g go why probably because he didn't trust big organizations and experts yeah so when you see Trump's instincts and let's say uh climate change when Trump said climate change is a hoax I'm sure that what he actually meant was you know the whole rigor Maro around it I don't think he was specifically talking about the the science claims you know that CO2 could cause warming I think he was talking about the whole situation like VI but V adds agenda so it's more clear until Aaron rupar takes it out um so what if the same hunch that we see Trump being right about all the time and it's based on not trusting experts what if he's right about his other hunches election election I mean anything could happen anything could happen all right um You may have heard me say that we uh it's necessary to do a RICO case against Democrat leadership because at this point it appears that there is an organized group probably the same group largely that has been running everything from the fine people hoax to the Russia collusion hoax the laptop oax the you know drinking bleach oax the the you you name it the Insurrection hoax and it's all the same cast of characters they have money involved you know jobs power money so there's a financial interest they're organized and this was my claim my claim is that now it's very clear with the things that we all know all right no speculation just the things that we know for sure it looks exactly like a RICO organized criminal organization now before you say B but but the Republicans do the same thing I would say no Republican voters do the same thing do you see the difference one of the examples somebody gave me in a counterargument was what about pizzagate to which I said that didn't come first and you know maybe you get some poed conspiracy that comes from usually is there something bubbling up from the bottom and maybe there's some politician who grabs on it and is willing to say it in public but it's nothing like any kind of organized Rico criminal operation it's just a bunch of things that people claimed some of them were true and some of them weren't that that's just sort of normal business but if you look at the Democrat operation they've got the you know FBI Department of Justice they they've you know they corrupted the the platforms the news media this is all known the CIA you know operating to do the or you know various intelligence agency people involved in the uh laptop coverup so you can see it's all the same characters and they're organized and so that that was a picture I was painting a few days ago and most of you heard it right now here's the update two stories New York Post says the White House council's Office the White House council's Office met with top Aid to special counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden's likely opponent so here's the story in the New York Post suggesting a a ricol like coordination that would be inappropriate in this context here's another story um house Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan so he's investigating the Fon County DA Fanny Willis charges that she coordinated with Federal officials including special counsel Jack Smith this is a separate case which the timing of the announcement of the indictments seemed to be very politically advantageous for Democrats and it didn't look like a coincidence so here would be two two examples that are in the news today right the Today part is important to this that as soon as you see the RICO frame on it everything fits so I what I imagine is you're going to see a whole bunch of stories about people coordinating in various I elements of the Democrat machine so that the the RICO case you know becomes clearer and clearer over time uh for the people who follow politics I'd say it's completely clear would you agree most of you I would say are in the top 2% of people who follow the news in any detail would you agree that for those of you who are following it in detail the case for a RICO criminal organization is not just possible it's just obvious this is the most obvious thing I've ever seen in my life that I mean I don't even know how you could possibly talk me out of it it's just really really obvious now you know I don't know that there's like a a head like a mafia head but I also don't know if that's necessary if they're all operating with sort of a common understanding so it doesn't seem like you need a boss per se but it's very organized it's obvious and when you see the the new Russia hoax that VI is a Russian asset it's just more of that more of the same all right here is a quote from Romney on Ukraine um here's how he's explaining his support for supporting Ukraine in the war I'm going to read this and I want to get your impression and then also related story ask you if AI could pick up a pattern here so just see if AI would notice any patterns in this all right so here's his own quote so Romney says the single most important thing we can do to strengthen America relative to China is to see Russia defeated in Ukraine a weakened Russia deters the ccp's territorial ambition and halts Putin's vision of reestablishing the old Soviet Union so support supp in Ukraine is in our interest do you think AI would look at that and say well that those are some good reasons Some solid reasons right there I had to read this so many times because I couldn't I honestly I didn't know if it was real at first I was like is that real like he actually said those words now I'm saying word salad that's one of the things I was looking for but I don't think he has cognitive dissonance I think he's it looks more like he has a a preferred approach for reasons I can't read his mind but it doesn't exactly look like cognitive Defence so it's close to being word salid but there is a meaning to it let's let's uh let's uh spend some time on this so do you think it's necessary to keep China from you know getting out of control that the way we would keep China from getting out of control is to fund somebody else to have a fight with somebody else that that tracks with you the the way to keep China you know honest and not get too adventurous is for America to fund a separate country to have a war with another country that that was our that was the strategy now I'm not going to argue that it has no effect it might have an effect it's entirely possible that with China is looking at the Weaponry involved and saying some form of wow they got good stuff yeah but let me ask you this is that the way you would have approached this would Trump have done this would Trump have said you know what we need to do if we could start a war or encourage a war with two separate countries that could showcase the equality of our weapons that would keep that would keep uh China at Bay because you know it's not like it's the first time remember how well it worked in Afghanistan right when when we were in Afghanistan China was like whoa whoa they're winning so hard in Afghanistan we'd better we' better leave Taiwan alone right you remember when that happened oh that didn't happen right yeah that didn't happen and you remember when we uh we won in Vietnam and that caused China to say whoa okay that didn't happen either but does that sound like that's a Str strategy or a rationalization strategy that's the way you would go about it you'd start the war in two separate countries to show China not to take Taiwan that that would be like a real plan that real people would come up with that plan no this is a rationalization for something that happened I don't know why I mean I don't know what he's thinking or what he wants or you know I can't read his mind but there's no way that anybody ever sat in a room and said if we start this war with Ukraine or you know back it that uh that's going to keep China out of trouble with us no way there's the slightest chance that that was intentional all right how about the other one uh that uh we would halt uh Putin's vision of reestablishing the old Soviet Union is he making us think past the sale here here um how do we know what Putin is thinking what about the Peter Zan um explanation which is that uh 100% of what Putin appears to be going after has gone after and is going after are choke points which are quite obviously defensive uh defensive Necessities for Russia to control its territorial Integrity now I don't know is Peter zayan right I don't know but you know he's not a politician you know I I don't know what influences he has but those are completely different stories aren't they if what Russia wants is to be protected for you know a thousand years in the future that gives you something to negotiate how hard would it be for us to work out something that gives them territorial you know integrity without you know without a war it just feels like that's a pretty solvable problem but if you're imagining that Putin has this Vision which you know he does talk about it so it's not completely a ridiculous thing he does talk about you know the the greatness of Russia and that some things belong to him Etc so there's a little bit of that I'm not sure that it's either Peter xan's thing completely or that it's Romney's thing completely it feels like it's probably a hybrid of wanting to have these choke points for their own defense plus wouldn't it be great you know if we had some of our prior Glory but which but it's possible that one of those is way more important right so here's another way you could have gone about it so the way they went about it is to start a war with Ukraine and Russia to warn R to deter everybody and and China too um here's another way you could have done it if Trump had been president two phone calls that's the other way to do it two phone calls one to Russia one to China hey uh Russia if you do this I can't even tell you how bad this is going to be for you this will be so bad you there will be things you didn't even imagine were doable we've got assets and resources that you have no idea we would bring so much pain on you that you would regret this for the rest of your life however long that is you don't think that that Trump could have scared the beesus sen of Putin at least to make him wait until Trump is gone you know at least to buy you four more years or something right you don't think you could call China and say look here's the deal we got our microchips on that island you're not taking the island that's the end of our conversation our microchips are there it's a vital just you attack them you're attacking us that you're not taking it it's just that's a hard no and I'll say different things in public for you if you want me in public to say you know it's China's domestic problem I'll do that but if you put one troop on Taiwan your whole situation is going to collapse you don't think he can sell that the greatest salesperson and you know he's been called Trump's been called the greatest salesperson ever by somebody who know sales you don't think you can sell that two phone calls two phone calls yeah instead we made we created a war with two third parties to handle Taiwan come on when you say oh come on I can't tell if you're talking to me or or you're agreeing with me um Zan is says it's collapsing oh I saw another uh rumor SL hypothesis about China collapsing so you've heard everything about the you know their population and you know the uh the economy's got problems in 50 different ways uh but there's one that I hadn't heard before so they have this enormous Dam what is it the Three Rivers Dam or something and it's this massive Dam and three gorgees the three gorgees Dam thank you the three gorgees Dam now I don't know that this is true this just a thing I saw you know some You.

Tube video that uh that it's having structural problems and that they knew it would or at least some people knew it would when it was built that it was never built as well as it should have been for the volume of water and then if that dam ever broke it would actually take down China do you believe that I mean that seems Seems like hyperbole to me but apparently the amount of flooding would be so it it would be cataclysmic you know it would be like Noah's Arc situation and that there's no way that the country could take that size of a hit and the government still function and do what they need to do there because there're big cities down river you now I'm not so sure about that I think China could take a hit that size and it's a very capable country I mean it would be a tragedy of in almost unimaginable uh scale but and certainly don't want that to happen but it's out there you know there's you know I I just don't think that we predict we're not good at predicting the end of everything we tend to be adaptable um please do this on X um I probably will but I don't know if I'll do it live actually I just started looking into it yesterday so I still have some questions if I were to be on X can I live stream yet or do I have to do it do I have to just post a video on there after I'm done does anybody know the answer to that so some some saying yes how because I was looking where do I live stream I I saw no user interface for that can you can you tell me where to find it on the app no spaces doesn't count if I were to do a live stream with video Tucker did so but I know I've seen uh Elon testing the live feature but where is it so I can so I so you say I have that user interface option right now because I don't see anything named Periscope yeah so uh I did Google it I did Google it I didn't find it so if anybody knows if that's live for everybody and where to find it or is it a separate app is it a separate app you pick the post and the picture yeah spaces is Audio Only all right well look into it so I'm looking into that today so I I like the idea uh Dr funu says yes and I believe you would know thank you yeah if it's not live then there's a little point in doing it well I don't know people do watch recorded things on uh more people watch this recorded than live did you know that yeah my my live stream is maybe 20% of the total traffic most of it's recorded traffic oh thank you uh DJ Dr.

Funk juu says you'll send me info on X and that's exactly when he thinkk thank you appreciate that all right uh people say they liked me on Roseanne let me give you an update on my book there are still I think four fake versions of my book up there um but once people start using it to train AI I think it's going to think it's going to do well um I have a claim to make that while there might be some books that at the moment are slight slly higher rated in the uh category of transforming your life which I like better than self-help self-help always bug me because if you're reading a book on self-help it's the author that's helping you you're not really self-helping you're literally getting somebody else's help and then taking their advice it doesn't seem like self-help but anyway so I like personal transformation because it's definitely a personal transformation you're just using some resources to get it done but in that domain I have the following claim there is no book in the top 20 that would improve your life faster or you know more uh let's say more likely than mine because it's written for that right it's written to have exactly that impact and if you look at the reviews it's obvious that it's working that people are already you know they're 10 pages into the book and saying I found something that's like I'm going to totally change my life with so my argument is that a book written by a hypnotist to take uh good ideas and make them actionable is different than a book about good ideas because a normal WR a normal author writing a book with a bunch of good ideas it doesn't matter how good they are because if you're not implementing them you know they just lay there but mine are written so that you can't help yourself I if you see a reframe that works they're so short and easy to remember that it will just stick in your head and then you're done right a reframe works just because you thought of it and then you repeated it in your head because it was it was sticky so I've solved the part that most self-help books don't do which is to get you to actually do something and the the doing is because once the words are in your head the words change this structure of your brain literally and they make it more productive and then the thing that you wanted to be more true for you becomes more true and there's no no specific effort to do it it's just that you added some new code it's like a software patch so that's the easiest effort for the greatest personal transformation and in my opinion there's nothing close it's called reframe your brain I've never said anything like that with anything I've written before this is actually special and people are seeing it right away all right so that's all for this amazing live stream is there any topic that I should have mentioned that I did I feel like I must have left something out the perfect airplane book it is it's the perfect airplane book I do write it with that in mind actually now we we don't have any updates nor will we all right perfect for young people did we reach our hour I got six more minutes to spend with you if you want to ask me a question because I I try to get the live streams to an hour there's some magic To That on You.

Tube uh I didn't mention Rob Riner so that largely you know pretty much handles most of the important news um what about we talked about V on Bill Mar show How Will trump fix Ukraine through threats I believe through threats and also being realistic about American interests do you have a Rogan appearance yet no you know I'm not really I don't think I'm exactly a Joe Rogan guest material you know I've done it once and that's probably all I needed um you know just cuz I have a book that doesn't mean I get to be a guest um you're seeing dreams with a them really all right so I was also thinking of using the 200 or so uh micro lessons that I have on the locals platform so if you didn't know I make these little to to 4 minute videos to teach you a life skill uh each one teaches you like a real useful thing there are over 200 of them that are available just for subscribers now suppose I took 200 of those micr lessons and made them available to train in AI in addition to my books wouldn't you want your AI to have read had to failed almost everything to still wins big and reframe your brain because they're generally considered the two most use ful you know adviceyoutube that's the AI I'd want my kid to see you know of course I'm too close to it so but if there's anybody thinks that you know anybody would benefit from that set of messages there's now a way to do it just stick it in an AI and anybody can have it will the US defend Taiwan um here's the only right answer you ready there's one right answer do you know what it is probably probably right because the Trump will tell you you can't be predictable can't be predictable so we should probably say yes because that that's a scary EST but you don't have to do what you say you just have to make yourself look scary and unpredictable um I saw a suggestion that I should go on the podcast trigonometry uh that's already scheduled so I will be on triggernometry triggernometry one of the best podcasts by the way I was very happy about that and I'm finishing negotiation with uh Mike Mandel who is a uh a hypnotist and uh I've never been well I have been interviewed by hypnotist that's that's not true but he's he's do he does it for a living it's like his main thing so uh that would be fun uh oh Roger Stone should be today the Roger Stone radio interview I don't know what time today but his show his show ears today Sunday man cave person uh somebody says it's WABC uh which is 770 a.m.

at 2: to 4: p.m.

now that would be WABC everywhere or just in one place so 2: to 4:00 p.m.

that's probably eastern time I guess I probably Eastern all right what uh what podcast do you think I should most go on oh I would go on uh uh jenss show actually that would be really interesting wouldn't it bung you know I've got a request in for James aler he would be amazing Tim pool Joo Megan oh yeah yeah I should see if Megan Kelly wants to talk she'd be good Jordan Peterson Russell Brand I've got a I've got a request for Russell Brand all right I should follow up oh Brett yeah maybe this is the time for me to talk to Brett what do you think Brett Weinstein yeah I you know I didn't want to go talk to him just about pandemic stuff because I'm just so over it but if I have a new book then I got something to talk about well that' be interesting if if you wanted to all right it's never up to me if of course never up to me all right um yeah Fox News I don't think I can be on Fox news now because they're taking Tik Tock advertising so I I'm going to I'm going to take Fox News off of my publicity schedule not not that I was ever booked but if I had been I wouldn't I would have had to back out but uh Jack pabc going to be talking to him I think tomorrow yeah are are you amazed that Fox News is taking Tik Tock advertising I know it's I don't even know what to say about it but you know the only thing I can do is just not associate with it that's the only thing I can do so all right um I think we hit our bogey we got our time thanks for all the feedback was actually really useful I appreciate it and I will talk to you tomorrow You.

Tube thanks for joining you're amazing

good morning everybody and welcome to

another highlight of humans

civilization it's called coffee with

Scott Adams and archa glad you're here

because we're going to take this take

this experience up to levels that could

only be considered Galactic if you'd

like to join us all you need is a cup or

mug or a glass of tankered chel or Stein

a Canen juger flask of vessel of any

kind fill it with your favorite liquid

and join me now for the unparallel

pleasure it's the dopamine hit of the

day with a little bit of oxytocin today

yeah a little bit and it'll set you

right and it happens now

go that's so good so

good well the news is all interesting

today uh news out in Palm Springs

California is that an Amnesia patient

who woke up 14 months ago and could only

speak Swedish which was not his natural

language was found dead in his home so

for 14

months for reasons that are a mystery he

could only speak Swedish how do we

explain this how do we explain this what

what would be a possible

explanation of why the news would report

that a iy suddenly only spoke

Swedish well I don't want to you know

blow your your dreams of of what the

reality is but I have a

hypothesis it never

happened it never

happened yeah did did they find him dead

holding the secret Sonic weapon that

attacks the

embassies

did they find him dead on one of the

UFOs in that big Warehouse full of

captured

UFOs no it's like the breatharians when

in the 70s when I was a kid the

breatharians went on The Tonight Show

and claimed that they found a way to

live without eating that they would find

nutrition just from breathing the

air and when I was can't ever I remember

a lot of people believe it's like how do

they do it could we learn to do that

what if other people could learn to eat

just by breathing the air yeah yeah he

woke up and he spoke

Sweedish that totally happened yeah no

the most obvious explanation is it

didn't happen do you know what the most

obvious explanation

is whenever something amazing and hard

to believe

happens that it didn't happen

it's almost always the case that if it's

that remarkable yeah it didn't happen or

there's some context

missing well uh my mind was blown by a

video by uh Elan musk yesterday so you

know that AI can be trained by looking

at words everybody knows that but

apparently if you want to train AI to be

a self-driving car uh words are not

enough so uh I guess the new version of

Tesla's self-driving car AI software has

been trained with only

video now if you want to have your mind

blown it's coming they gave it only

massive video from cars driving so that

it would understand how a car should

drive without ever being trained on what

a roundabout is you know a traffic

roundabout it handled it

perfectly without even knowing what the

concept of a roundabout is because it

had seen so many videos that just sort

of did what other videos did and

apparently the massive video training

technique is probably going to be the

thing and it will probably be the thing

that makes self-driving cars

practical so that's fun but watching a

car figure out things I had not learned

it had only somehow got it by pattern

recognition because the car doesn't know

what anything is so it doesn't know what

a traffic light is it has nothing like a

definition or an understanding of it

nothing it's just pure pattern

recognition and it can drive you know as

as well or better than a lot of humans

already all right um here's an idea from

RFK Jr that I'm going to put squarely in

the category of I'm so glad he's running

for president I'm just so glad

because he keeps bringing up topics and

ideas that seem you know genuinely you

know

nonpartisan he communicates them well

and here's another one like I I'm trying

to find some political reason not to

like this but I can't find one he wants

he wants free passports for anybody who

wants one if you have a free passport

then all of your U voter ID problems go

away because everybody can get to a Post

Office right pretty much everybody's a

short drive or a walk away from a post

office so if you could go to a post

office and get a free birth certificate

I guess it's a card or

something um then your your voting ID

problem is

solved but as RFK Jr points out it also

solves banking because if you don't have

ID you can't have a bank account so you

would end up you know getting getting

rid of some of that pay day same day you

know expensive check cashing stuff for

people who don't have Banks so that's

that's an idea this seems like a

relatively small change in the existing

system that would give Democrats what

they want you know people be able to

bank everybody wants that that's not a

Democrat thing and uh and also do voter

ID and then who would complain who's

going to complain now what's wrong with

that idea you know everything costs

money so it's you know not free but

what's wrong with that

idea is that's just a solid idea right

don't you want more people like

this you know running for president I

mean I'm just so happy with the the the

candidates and the way they're running

all right uh so Russia reports that they

tested the DNA of that plane that went

down that Wagner plane and sure enough

Russia says um that prosan was on the

plane

yeah yeah now here's how you know this

is

true uh because it comes from

Russia and they use

science so I guess there's nothing else

to talk about here is there because if

there are two things you can believe in

2023 is

science and

Russia I mean have they ever lied to

you come on no Russia science have they

ever lied to you no of of course he was

on that plane maybe his body was or

maybe he's still in a basement under

Putin's Dasha chain to a wall so Putin

can torture him for the rest of his life

how would you

know do do do you think it's case closed

because we earn it from Russia after

they use some

science and oh but wait if you're

concerned about the credibility of

Russia

plus science this will make you feel

better it was reported in the

news so then you have three credible

sources you got your news they've never

lied to you you got your Russians honest

as the day is long the government that

is and then you got your science which

as you know is the gold standard for

truth so you got your news your Russians

your

science I'm going to call that a fact

are we all in agreement with that solid

evidence I believe we can conclude no

fake news here fact all right good we're

all on the same page

there um the EU I saw this on Michael

shellenberger uh tweet the the EU

governments are forming a Truth

Ministries

basically uh

entities which will determine what their

citizens can see and what they can't see

based on what some people who are chosen

to do this say is

true now I don't know what is the worst

idea in the

world but it might be

that and and uh I saw one of the

representatives in a video clip being

asked who gets to decide what's true and

how do you decide it and nobody can

answer that question right it's the

unanswerable question because obviously

this has nothing to do with truth this

is clearly a power grab Whoever has that

truth

Ministry uh will be able to control

truth or will they or will

they well you want to hear the happiest

idea of the whole day do you do you want

to hear something that will make you

laugh with happiness probably for a full

week do do you want AI to go away

because it's too

dangerous I can make that happen for

you all you have to do is train one

model of AI how to spot fake

news because it's a pattern it's all

patterns oh yeah you're feeling don't

you just think about it AI no doubt

about it if you can teach AI to drive by

looking at videos of driving you don't

think you can get AI to spot fakes let

me ask you this there's a news story and

the people pushing at the hardest are

Adam Schiff Eric

swell and Phil bump from The Washington

Post is the story

true let's say let's say those three say

it's true but alen Duru says it's

not and Jonathan Turley says it's not

and Glenn Greenwald says it's

not and Michael uh shellenberger says

it's not just to pick some names is it

true do do do you think that AI couldn't

spot that in like you know less time

than you imagined his time that didn't

make any sense but you know where I was

going with it right now remember I gave

you the list of ways to tell fake news

you got your at the top of the list of

probable fake news would be a uh a an

anonymous

account an anonymous report one

Anonymous report do do you think you

couldn't teach AI to look for an

anonymous

report okay do you think you could teach

AI to spot a rupar do you know what a

rupar is so rupar is named after

journalist named rupar is when you take

out some context from a story to reverse

his meaning if you asked AI was the find

people hoax a hoax how hard would it be

to for AI to figure out what it was

because if it would know to look for

context that's missing it would just go

look for the context that's missing it

knows how to understand words you know

where it seems to and it would know in a

heartbeat how the hoax was created and

it would also say the debunking you know

debunking videos Etc so yeah get spotted

in a heart

um let me give you one that happened

today and let me see if you you think

that um AI could have spotted this so

ask yourself could you have trained AI

in advance to spot this one uh it's a

rupar and let's see this comes from a a

an ax post which you used to call

Twitter from somebody named uh oh it's

from rupar it's from rupar Aaron rupar

and uh he he has a video clip of Dana

Bash talking to vake ramaswami and he

says that uh uh Dana Bash reads V

ramaswami A 2018 report from the Trump

Administration that sounded an alarm

about climate change to push back on his

position that wait for it his position

that climate change is a

hoax do you believe that it's true the V

says climate change is a hoax no it's

not true that's a rupar it's a rupar

from

rupar he he's leaving out

agenda so what V says is that the agenda

in other words the way you deal with it

is the hoax part not not the base

science so do you think that AI could

have been trained to look at this story

and compare it to the context that it

could find from other sources of a and

would it be able to spot this as an

obvious root bar of course it could it

wouldn't even be hard I spotted it I'm

no

AI it took me no seconds to spot it how

many of you did anybody spot it before I

tweeted it you know I tweeted it so you

can see it but did anybody else spot it

right away sure you did because it's a

pattern it's a very very familiar

pattern and if AI simply learned that

there's one person who's famous for

doing it and they saw his account you

don't think AI would say well there's

the first red flag is coming from the

place where most of these come

from of course of course they can spot

the the the pattern now let me ask you

this once you trained an AI to spot fake

news and once once it was successful

doing so do you think it could stay

legal nope there is no chance that that

would stay illegal it would have to be

made illegal or this is worse you would

have to make it conform to Democrat

factchecking sources so in other words

you wouldn't be able to have an AI that

did not conform to what the ministries

of Truth told you was true they would

literally make it illegal for AI to use

hold it pattern

recognition pattern recognition will be

illegal it has to be you can this is one

thing I can

guarantee AI with pure pattern

recognition without being fact checked

by some democrat Source it will

absolutely be illegal because they

wouldn't be able to maintain any power

if that

happened just think about that it has to

be illegal otherwise they're out of

business and there's no way they're just

going to say well okay you got me you

got us you got me darn it you know we

had a good run but you got me we'll just

stop doing it now no they will try to

stop AI now here's the best question do

you think they could

succeed because as you know AI can now

run on your own

computer

yeah as long as it's at least on the

dark web you know a copy of it that

could run there will always be a copy of

AI that can still tell you the truth but

do you think you you'll go to jail

forever if you have a copy

probably probably yeah

all

right um speaking of AI I saw a uh tweet

by Brian relli who's you know I talk

about him a lot he's one of the most

interesting voices smartest guy on the

topic of AI and lots of other stuff but

AI is where he's really getting a lot of

uh Justified attention lately and he

read my book reframe your brain and he

said this in a tweet I have found found

a very powerful technology to reframe

human context you talk about my book

reframe your brain I'm finding this

technology quite useful in training

AI so he's actually using the the

reframe form which is just you know this

is a sentence that's not too productive

for your head and here's a sentence

that's better for your head you know get

gets you to a more productive or happier

place just think about that here my next

AI

prediction it will necessarily happen

because this is how humans operate the

AI will start to have uh let's say

branded

personalities and they might be branded

personalities are based on real people

for example if there was somebody some

public figure that you said to yourself

you know what there's somebody who can

just see both sides and

has a good General character haven't

seen them lie they usually are trying to

help and then you say you know the best

we can do for AI since AI will have so

many different situations to navigate is

to give it a character personality so

that it never leaves what that character

would do sort of a a simple way to give

it a set of guidelin so it doesn't

become dangerous so you say who would

you pick for

example

uh who who's the most credible honest

person who's not me

um yeah I mean I'd love inter to bew me

of course but but don't pick me because

that's too

controversial Thomas Massie Thomas

Massie I'd pick him shellin Berger I'd

pick him uh Turley I'd pick Joe Rogan

I'd pick him

yeah

uh yeah d

I would pick

him Greenwald Peterson now if you if you

go to Greenwald and

Peterson you know you can you can kind

of get to the point where some people

would

disagree you know Peterson's a little

more opinion based whereas uh well he's

fact-based but he's got an opinion on

top of it um whereas I would say

somebody like a turly or a dtz are far

more fact-based than opinion

based yeah so anyway but you could

imagine you could imagine picking one of

those personalities and saying I would

be comfortable if my AI did whatever

this person does you know if it just

reads this person's whole history and

says okay they don't lie so I won't lie

they don't do this or that so I won't do

it they don't break the law so if

there's something that would break the

law I won't do it so I think just like

the massive video that trains the car to

drive without actually teaching it to

drive I think you could just make it

massively understand one person who has

the character that you want and that's

how AI will be built because otherwise

you're going to have to give it a bunch

of rules social rules and they're going

to be incomplete I guess I guess that's

the point any rules you give AI about

how to operate will necessarily be

incomplete because you can't imagine

every

situation so instead you give it a human

personality because you could trust a

human if you've watched them for 40

years right you wouldn't give it a a

young human personality you'd give it a

a wiser you know successful older one

all

right um I've offered to deprogram a

democrat in in a public setting let's

say a live stream just as a

demonstration now nobody nobody

qualified or you know who fits the right

demographic is going to volunteer what

will happen instead is you'll get

Republicans volunteering and pretending

to be Democrats you get Democrats

volunteering but only to to ruin it you

know they they'll pretend that they're

up for the experiment but then really

they're there just to destroy it so it

would be kind of

uh be kind of hard to find somebody who

was

honest somebody who honestly wanted to

experience

to find out if they' been hypnotized or

brainwashed and that would be kind of

hard to find somebody who actually wants

to know for sure if they've been

brainwashed and and I could actually

provide that answer you know with

working with somebody

so uh Mark Cuban would be perfect is a

suggestion what you you know I've I've

had just

enough interaction with Mark cubin to

know that he can back his arguments

better than just about

anybody so I don't know that he's I

don't think he's I don't think he's got

TTS at all actually in my my

interactions he has he has a point of

view and sometimes a disagrees with mine

but I'm not talking about changing

somebody's mind so the reason the reason

the mark would not be a good choice for

deprogramming is I don't think he's

hypnotized in the first place Bill Mah

clearly has something going on that's

there's some kind of distortion there

Mark cubin is just somebody who has a

set of preferences that he that he

argues very well he doesn't seem to have

any kind of Illusions going on I've

never seen

any now and then you know the problem

with a Rob Riner obviously wouldn't do

it but if somebody like a Rob Riner

wanted wanted to

experiment how could you trust an

actor don't you suspect that Rob rer is

acting and that he doesn't necessarily

believe everything he tweets but it's

good for his side right it's just he's

supporting te so I I can't read his mind

so I don't know what R Runner is

thinking I know that the way he acts

doesn't look rational but I don't know

that he doesn't know that I don't know

that he's you know unaware that he's

playing a role to me it looks like a

role so you can't really trust an actor

because you never really know because

they'd be too good at fooling you

they're because they're

actors pick someone young cuz someone

old be too difficult to

accept but but I think it's a good show

whether they get uh whether they get

deep programmed or whether you see

cognitive dissonance it would be

interesting either way CU I would tell

you what to look for I would say before

we start the

deprogramming um I'll tell you what to

look for if cognitive distance happens

so i' say well one thing to look for is

the

filibuster where the person keeps

talking and won't let me you know Orient

the conversation that would be a sign

another another sign would be the word

salad where they're talking but the

sentences are like H I'm not even sure

those are making any sense and there are

a few others but you know it'd be fun to

tell you what to look for and then

create the cognitive dissonance and then

call it out and the person experiencing

it will just get mad because they won't

see it you know they they'll think

you're mocking them or

something all right well if I find the

right person for that I'll do it

um so V is is being uh called some kind

of a Russian asset that's the latest one

let let me see uh let's put this through

the AI that doesn't exist yet uh typing

into the AI it's a let's see if you can

find a pattern um there's a republican

candidate who's a let's see a populist a

populist he's rising in the polls uh

exceeding

expectations um and he's being accused

of being a Russian plant that really

he's working for

Russia so uh see if I can come up with

any pattern yep oh it came up with a

pattern recognition yeah yeah it turns

out that when populist uh Republicans

who don't want

War uh when they're involved there seems

to pop up a Russia collusion hoax how

often let me check how often 100% 100%

of the time

yeah now seriously you don't think an AI

could spot

this anybody is there anybody who thinks

AI can't spot

this come on the the pattern could not

be more

obvious right if I can spot it I'm

pretty sure AI can spot

it but this is based on I guess there's

some Russian news channel where the

Russians said their first choice would

be Trump

because he wants to end the war and

their second choice would be

V because he wants to end the

war that even the the Russian

newscasters are not even saying to win

the war they're not saying we want to

win the war they're saying they want to

end the

war these are Russian people saying they

want to end the war that that their own

boss Putin is is

pressing does it sound like anything

except they happen to be on the same

side that the fact that your mind is

somehow connecting that Russia is

running vake because he doesn't want a

useless

War where where's the connecting logic

to

that as far as I know I'm not influenced

by any

Russians but i' like an end to the war

am I am I now a Russian

asset because I don't like a war that

doesn't seem to have a obvious

purpose yes I am apparently yes I am all

right so uh I saw Ben Dominic uh tweeted

that VC is a

plant and V saw that and he answered

back false I am an

animal okay all right all right that's

good tween that's just good tween it's a

dad joke it's a dad joke but those are

not just allowed those are encouraged

you in the in the context of a national

race a dad joke a good dad joke that

lands that's just that's just the juice

you need yeah you don't need to be too

clever you just have to be interesting

you just have to take you know unserious

things UNS

seriously good answer all

right um as you

know uh Trump is being charged with

Insurrection not legally no no there's

no legal case charging him with

Insurrection but does that stop a

Democrat lawyer from trying to get him

not to be able to run for election based

on an Insurrection that no court has

found evidence to charge him for yes so

yes there moving forward to try to take

him out of the race for

Insurrection something that no court has

found to be

true now do you know

why you know the big reason there's they

think it's an

Insurrection because they found

no uh no evidence of fraud that was big

enough to change the result in the 2020

election and yet um Trump claimed that

existed and the argument against that

was what can you remind me what what was

the argument against Trump's claim that

there was

fraud what what was the argument that

closed that

down oh yeah no that's right the courts

no court have found it right so the way

that you know for

sure that there was no fraud is that no

court found it uh that standard doesn't

apply to Insurrection because although

no courts found that Insurrection

existed even though they look pretty

hard to you know make a case as some

Court would take and no court saw

anything that they would

take so you've got opposite standards in

the same case in the same case I'm not

saying that one case was different and

then you know now this case is is is

different sometimes I can't complete a

sentence um right you you see right am I

making my point that if it's true that

if a court didn't find it it must not be

true but when it comes to Insurrection

is not true it's the opposite and

they're both part of the same uh legal

action the same legal action wants you

to accept both standards at the same

time and they're

opposites now do you think that anything

like a legitimate process is happening

in the United States no there's nothing

legitimate Happening Here this is

completely

illegitimate all

right uh there's a uh I love this

there's a compilation video going around

showing in the beginning of the pandemic

when The Who and I think the CDC and

basically all the smart people were

saying at the beginning that the co

death rate was

3.4% which is a scary High number Trump

at the same time said he'd been talking

to people obviously experts and he was

he was sure that the real rate was a

fraction of 1% and you watch the video

and all the people are 3.4 3.4 3.4 and

then they're mocking Trump they're at

the the news is just mocking him for say

and then Trump saying he thinks it's

less than

1% based on what what his his

hunch just based on a hunch right when

all the experts and then of course the

punchline is that the experts changed to

you know half of

1% and lower I think now so Trump was

100% right from the g

go why probably because he didn't trust

big organizations and experts yeah so

when you see Trump's

instincts and let's say uh climate

change

when Trump said climate change is a hoax

I'm sure that what he actually meant was

you know the whole rigor Maro around it

I don't think he was specifically

talking about the the science claims you

know that CO2 could cause warming I

think he was talking about the whole

situation like VI but V adds agenda so

it's more clear until Aaron rupar takes

it out um so what if the same

hunch that we see Trump being right

about all the time and it's based on not

trusting

experts what if he's right about his

other

hunches election

election I mean anything could happen

anything could

happen all right

um You may have heard me say that we uh

it's necessary to do a RICO case against

Democrat leadership because at this

point it appears that there is an

organized group probably the same group

largely that has been running everything

from the fine people hoax to the Russia

collusion hoax the laptop oax the you

know drinking bleach oax the the you you

name it the Insurrection hoax and it's

all the same cast of characters they

have money involved you know jobs power

money so there's a financial interest

they're organized and this was my claim

my claim is that now it's very clear

with the things that we all know all

right no speculation just the things

that we know for

sure it looks exactly like a RICO

organized criminal

organization now before you say B but

but the Republicans do the same

thing I would say no Republican voters

do the same thing do you see the

difference one of the examples somebody

gave me in a counterargument was what

about pizzagate to which I said that

didn't come first

and you know maybe you get some

poed conspiracy that comes from usually

is there something bubbling up from the

bottom and maybe there's some politician

who grabs on it and is willing to say it

in public but it's nothing like any kind

of organized Rico criminal operation

it's just a bunch of things that people

claimed some of them were true and some

of them weren't that that's just sort of

normal

business but if you look at the Democrat

operation they've got the you know FBI

Department of Justice they they've you

know they corrupted the the platforms

the news media this is all known the CIA

you know operating to do the or you know

various intelligence agency people

involved in the uh laptop coverup so you

can see it's all the same

characters and they're

organized and so that that was a picture

I was painting a few days ago and most

of you heard it right now here's the

update two stories New York Post says

the White House council's Office the

White House council's Office met with

top Aid to special counsel Jack Smith

just weeks before he brought charges

against President Trump for allegedly

mishandling classified documents raising

serious concerns about coordinated legal

efforts aimed at President Biden's

likely

opponent so here's the story in the New

York Post suggesting a a ricol like

coordination that would be inappropriate

in this

context here's another story um house

Judiciary chairman Jim Jordan so he's

investigating the Fon County DA Fanny

Willis charges that she coordinated with

Federal officials including special

counsel Jack

Smith this is a separate case which the

timing of the announcement of the

indictments seemed to be very

politically advantageous for Democrats

and it didn't look like a coincidence so

here would be two two examples that are

in the news today right the Today part

is important to this that as soon as you

see the RICO frame on it everything

fits so I what I imagine is you're going

to see a whole bunch of stories about

people coordinating in various I

elements of the Democrat machine so that

the the RICO case you know becomes

clearer and clearer over time uh for the

people who follow politics I'd say it's

completely clear would you agree most of

you I would say are in the top 2% of

people who follow the news in any detail

would you agree that for those of you

who are following it in detail the case

for a RICO criminal organization is not

just possible it's just obvious this is

the most obvious thing I've ever seen in

my

life that I mean I don't even know how

you could possibly talk me out of

it it's just really really

obvious

now you know I don't know that there's

like a a head like a mafia head but I

also don't know if that's necessary if

they're all operating with sort of a

common understanding so it doesn't seem

like you need a boss per

se but it's very organized it's

obvious and when you see the the new

Russia hoax that VI is a Russian asset

it's just more of that more of the

same all right here is a quote from

Romney on

Ukraine um here's how he's explaining

his support for supporting Ukraine in

the war I'm going to read this and I

want to get your

impression and then also related story

ask you if AI could pick up a pattern

here so just see if AI would notice any

patterns in this all right so here's his

own quote so Romney says the single most

important thing we can do to strengthen

America relative to China is to see

Russia defeated in

Ukraine a weakened Russia deters the

ccp's territorial ambition and halts

Putin's vision of reestablishing the old

Soviet Union so support supp in Ukraine

is in our

interest do you think AI would look at

that and say well that those are some

good reasons Some solid reasons right

there I had to read this so many times

because I couldn't I honestly I didn't

know if it was real at first I was like

is that real like he actually said those

words now I'm saying word salad that's

one of the things I was looking for but

I don't think he has cognitive

dissonance I think

he's it looks more like he has a a

preferred approach for reasons I can't

read his mind but it doesn't exactly

look like cognitive Defence so it's

close to being word salid but there is a

meaning to it let's let's uh let's uh

spend some time on this so do you think

it's necessary to keep China from you

know getting out of control that the way

we would keep China from getting out of

control is to fund somebody else to have

a fight with somebody

else that that tracks with you the the

way to keep China you know honest and

not get too adventurous is for America

to fund a separate country to have a war

with another

country that that was our that was the

strategy now I'm not going to argue that

it has no effect it might have an effect

it's entirely possible that with China

is looking at the Weaponry involved and

saying some form of wow they got good

stuff yeah but let me ask you this is

that the way you would have approached

this would Trump have done this would

Trump have said you know what we need to

do if we could start a war or encourage

a war with two separate countries that

could showcase the equality of our

weapons that would keep that would keep

uh China at Bay because you know it's

not like it's the first time remember

how well it worked in

Afghanistan right when when we were in

Afghanistan China was like whoa whoa

they're winning so hard in Afghanistan

we'd better we' better leave Taiwan

alone right you remember when that

happened oh that didn't happen right

yeah that didn't happen and you remember

when we uh we won in Vietnam and that

caused China to say whoa okay that

didn't happen either

but does that sound like that's a Str

strategy or a

rationalization

strategy that's the way you would go

about it you'd start the

war in two separate countries to show

China not to take Taiwan that that would

be like a real plan that real people

would come up with that plan no this is

a rationalization for something that

happened I don't know why I mean I don't

know what he's thinking or what he wants

or you know I can't read his mind

but there's no way that anybody ever sat

in a room and said if we start this war

with Ukraine or you know back it that uh

that's going to keep

China out of trouble with us no way

there's the slightest chance that that

was intentional all right how about the

other

one uh that uh we would halt uh Putin's

vision of reestablishing the old Soviet

Union is he making us think past the

sale here

here um how do we know what Putin is

thinking what about the Peter Zan um

explanation which is that uh 100% of

what Putin appears to be going after has

gone after and is going after are choke

points which are quite obviously

defensive uh defensive Necessities for

Russia to control its territorial

Integrity now I don't know is Peter

zayan right I don't know but you know

he's not a

politician you know I I don't know what

influences he has but those are

completely different stories aren't they

if what Russia wants is to be protected

for you know a thousand years in the

future that gives you something to

negotiate how hard would it be for us to

work out something that gives them

territorial you know

integrity

without you know without a war it just

feels like that's a pretty solvable

problem but if you're imagining that

Putin has this

Vision which you know he does talk about

it so it's not completely a ridiculous

thing he does talk about you know the

the greatness of Russia and that some

things belong to him Etc so there's a

little bit of that I'm not sure that

it's either Peter xan's thing completely

or that it's Romney's thing completely

it feels like it's probably a

hybrid of wanting to have these choke

points for their own defense plus

wouldn't it be great you know if we had

some of our prior Glory but which but

it's possible that one of those is way

more

important right so here's another way

you could have gone about it so the way

they went about it is to start a war

with Ukraine and Russia to warn R to

deter everybody and and China too

um here's another way you could have

done

it if Trump had been president two phone

calls that's the other way to do it two

phone calls one to Russia one to

China hey uh Russia if you do this I

can't even tell you how bad this is

going to be for you this will be so bad

you there will be things you didn't even

imagine were doable we've got assets and

resources that you have no idea we would

bring so much pain on you

that you would regret this for the rest

of your life however long that

is you don't think that that Trump could

have scared the beesus sen of Putin at

least to make him wait until Trump is

gone you know at least to buy you four

more years or something right you don't

think you could call China and say look

here's the deal we got our microchips on

that island you're not taking the island

that's the end of our conversation our

microchips are there it's a vital just

you attack them you're attacking

us that you're not taking it it's just

that's a hard no and I'll say different

things in public for you if you want me

in public to say you know it's China's

domestic problem I'll do that but if you

put one troop on Taiwan your whole

situation is going to

collapse you don't think he can sell

that the greatest salesperson and you

know he's been called Trump's been

called the greatest salesperson ever by

somebody who know sales you don't think

you can sell that two phone calls two

phone calls yeah instead we made we

created a war with two third

parties to handle

Taiwan come

on when you say oh come on I can't tell

if you're talking to me or or you're

agreeing with

me

um Zan is says it's collapsing oh I saw

another uh rumor SL hypothesis about

China collapsing so you've heard

everything about the you know their

population and you know the uh the

economy's got problems in 50 different

ways uh but there's one that I hadn't

heard before so they have this enormous

Dam what is it the Three Rivers Dam or

something and it's this massive Dam and

three gorgees the three gorgees Dam

thank you the three gorgees Dam now I

don't know that this is true this just a

thing I saw you know some YouTube video

that uh that it's having structural

problems and that they knew it would or

at least some people knew it would when

it was built that it was never built as

well as it should have been for the

volume of water and then if that dam

ever broke it would actually take down

China do you believe that I mean that

seems Seems like hyperbole to me but

apparently the amount of flooding would

be so it it would be cataclysmic you

know it would be like Noah's Arc

situation and that there's no way that

the country could take that size of a

hit and the government still function

and do what they need to do there

because there're big cities down river

you now I'm not so sure about that I

think China could take a hit that size

and it's a very capable country I mean

it would be a tragedy of in almost

unimaginable uh scale but and certainly

don't want that to happen but it's out

there you know there's you know I I just

don't think that we predict we're not

good at predicting the end of everything

we tend to be

adaptable

um please do this on X um I probably

will but I don't know if I'll do it live

actually I just started looking into it

yesterday so I still have some questions

if I were to be on X can I live stream

yet or do I have to do it do I have to

just post a video on there after I'm

done does anybody know the answer to

that so some some saying yes how because

I was looking where do I live

stream I I saw no user interface for

that can you can you tell me where to

find it on the

app no spaces doesn't count if I were to

do a live stream with

video Tucker

did so but I know I've seen uh Elon

testing the live feature but where is

it so I can so I so you say I have that

user interface option right now because

I don't see anything named

Periscope yeah so uh I did Google it I

did Google it I didn't find it so if

anybody knows if that's live for

everybody and where to find it or is it

a separate app is it a separate app you

pick the post and the

picture yeah spaces is Audio Only all

right well look into it so I'm looking

into that today so I I like the

idea uh Dr funu says yes and I believe

you would know thank you

yeah if it's not live then there's a

little point in doing it well I don't

know people do watch recorded things on

uh more people watch this recorded than

live did you know that yeah my my live

stream is

maybe 20% of the total traffic most of

it's recorded

traffic oh thank you uh DJ Dr Funk juu

says you'll send me info on X and that's

exactly when he thinkk thank you

appreciate that all

right uh people say they liked me on

Roseanne let me give you an update on my

book there are still I think four fake

versions of my book up there um but once

people start using it to train AI I

think it's going to think it's going to

do well

um I have a claim to

make that while there might be some

books that at the moment are slight slly

higher rated in the uh category of

transforming your life which I like

better than self-help self-help always

bug me because if you're reading a book

on self-help it's the author that's

helping you you're not really

self-helping you're literally getting

somebody else's help and then taking

their advice it doesn't seem like

self-help but anyway so I like personal

transformation because it's definitely a

personal transformation you're just

using some resources to get it done but

in that domain I have the following

claim there is no book in the top 20

that would improve your life

faster or you know more uh let's say

more likely than mine because it's

written for that right it's written to

have exactly that impact and if you look

at the reviews it's obvious that it's

working that people are already you know

they're 10 pages into the book and

saying I found something that's like I'm

going to totally change my life with

so my argument is that a book written by

a

hypnotist to take uh good ideas and make

them actionable is different than a book

about good ideas because a normal WR a

normal author writing a book with a

bunch of good ideas it doesn't matter

how good they are because if you're not

implementing them you know they just lay

there but mine are written so that you

can't help yourself

I if you see a reframe that works

they're so short and easy to remember

that it will just stick in your head and

then you're done right a reframe works

just because you thought of it and then

you repeated it in your head because it

was it was sticky so I've solved the

part that most self-help books don't do

which is to get you to actually do

something and the the doing is because

once the words are in your head the

words change this structure of your

brain literally and they make it more

productive and then the thing that you

wanted to be more true for you becomes

more true and there's no no specific

effort to do it it's just that you added

some new code it's like a software patch

so that's the easiest effort for the

greatest personal

transformation and in my opinion there's

nothing close it's called reframe your

brain I've never said anything like that

with anything I've written before this

is actually special and people are

seeing it right away all right so that's

all for this amazing live stream is

there any topic that I should have

mentioned that I

did I feel like I must have left

something

out the perfect airplane book it is it's

the perfect airplane

book I do write it with that in mind

actually now we we don't have any

updates nor will

we all right perfect for young

people did we reach our

hour I got six more minutes to spend

with you if you want to ask me a

question because I I try to get the live

streams to an hour there's some magic To

That on

YouTube uh I didn't mention Rob Riner so

that largely you know pretty much

handles most of the important news

um what about we talked about V on Bill

Mar show How Will trump fix Ukraine

through threats I believe through

threats and

also being realistic about American

interests do you have a Rogan appearance

yet no you know I'm not really I don't

think I'm exactly a Joe Rogan guest

material you know I've done it once and

that's probably all I

needed um you know just cuz I have a

book that doesn't mean I get to be a

guest um you're seeing dreams with a

them

really all right so I was also thinking

of using the 200 or so uh micro lessons

that I have on the locals platform so if

you didn't know I make these little to

to 4 minute videos to teach you a life

skill uh each one teaches you like a

real useful thing there are over 200 of

them that are available just for

subscribers now suppose I took 200 of

those micr lessons and made them

available to train in AI in addition to

my

books wouldn't you want your AI to have

read had to failed almost everything to

still wins big and reframe your brain

because they're generally considered the

two most use ful you know

adviceyoutube

that's the AI I'd want my kid to see you

know of course I'm too close to it so

but if there's anybody thinks that you

know anybody would benefit from that set

of

messages there's now a way to do it just

stick it in an AI and anybody can have

it will the US defend

Taiwan

um here's the only right answer

you ready there's one right

answer do you know what it

is

probably probably right because the

Trump will tell you you can't be

predictable can't be predictable so we

should probably say

yes because that that's a scary EST but

you don't have to do what you say you

just have to make yourself look scary

and unpredictable

um I saw a suggestion that I should go

on the podcast

trigonometry uh that's already scheduled

so I will be on triggernometry

triggernometry one of the best podcasts

by the way I was very happy about

that and I'm finishing negotiation with

uh Mike

Mandel who is a uh a

hypnotist and uh I've never been well I

have been interviewed by hypnotist

that's that's not true but he's he's do

he does it for a living it's like his

main thing so uh that would be

fun uh oh Roger Stone should be today

the Roger Stone radio interview I don't

know what time today but his show his

show ears today

Sunday man cave

person uh somebody says it's

WABC uh which is 770 a.m. at 2: to 4:

p.m. now that would be WABC everywhere

or just in one place so 2: to 4:00 p.m.

that's probably eastern time I guess I

probably

Eastern all right what uh what podcast

do you think I should most go

on oh I would go on uh uh jenss

show actually that would be really

interesting wouldn't

it bung you

know I've got a request in for James

aler he would be amazing Tim pool Joo

Megan oh

yeah yeah I should see if Megan Kelly

wants to

talk she'd be good Jordan Peterson

Russell Brand I've got a I've got a

request for Russell

Brand all right I should follow up oh

Brett yeah maybe this is the time for me

to talk to Brett what do you

think Brett

Weinstein yeah I you know I didn't want

to go talk to him just about pandemic

stuff because I'm just so over

it but if I have a new book then I got

something to talk about well that' be

interesting if if you wanted to all

right it's never up to me if of course

never up to me all right

um yeah Fox News I don't think I can be

on Fox news now because they're taking

Tik Tock

advertising so I I'm going to I'm going

to take Fox News off of my publicity

schedule not not that I was ever booked

but if I had been I wouldn't I would

have had to back out but uh

Jack pabc going to be talking to him I

think

tomorrow yeah are are you amazed that

Fox News is taking Tik Tock

advertising I

know

it's I don't even know what to say about

it but you know the only thing I can do

is just not associate with it that's the

only thing I can do so all right

um I think we hit our bogey we got our

time thanks for all the feedback was

actually really useful I appreciate it

and I will talk to

you tomorrow YouTube thanks for joining

you're

amazing
