Episode 2278 Scott Adams - CWSA 10/31/23

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams some people are calling it colonizing WIS Scott Adams I don't think that'll stick but if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that no colonizer has ever seen before all you need is a cup or mug or glass a tank yourself chal time a canteen juger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee en join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine h of the day and the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and it happens now go good that was good all right now let's see what's going on so I have I have a recommendation for you before you do anything recreational make sure you've turned off all sources of news has anybody made the mistake of trying to relax at the same time they had the news on don't do that don't do that let me give you an example uh last night I thought you know what I haven't used my hot tub in a long time so I fired up my hot tub it was sort of a perfect night for it in California got in I thought you know I forgot to listen to my favorite show about the news the five and so I said oh I've got that recorded so I put on my phone on the edge and uh I lean back and I'm just like soaking into the water I'm like and on comes the segment about uh Matthew Perry drowning in his hot tub and and then there's conversation about how apparently some some people with certain heart problems could you know maybe die in a hot tub uh I heard about that recently too and suddenly I'm sitting in the heart hot tub and and I kid you not I'm going to the doctor's this afternoon because my blood pressure is high so I'm sitting there with actually you know cardio situation that I'm medically looking into at the moment and I hear this you know maybe maybe the word Maybe there were no substances involved maybe he just got in hot water and dead well let's just say that my hot tub experience was not the Delight I was expecting got a little tense in there so and just remember don't listen to news at the same time you're trying to do Recreation just never works well you might know that my uh song yeah yeah I wrote a song sort of I did a drum beat that uh stormcrow over on the xplatform um apparently he's turning it into an actual um he he has turned it into a music video and it sounds like from his post he's going to release it so it might actually be publicly available um so it would be a combination of AI plus my drum beat plus some other stuff some magic that he's adding to it stormcrow is so that'll be fun my dream of having a hit song I'm hoping I'm hoping if it's available commercially I don't know if it will be but if it is I'm hoping you buy it so I have a number one hit song well Elon Musk is calling the end of woke or at least Peak woke or or woke is going too far but his turning point that he points out is his South Park is just viciously mocking everything woke in their new episode and I do think mockery could be called um a turning point wasn't there a point where you could not have done that South Park episode where they just viciously mocked all the woke stuff I feel like you can do it now well maybe partly because I already did it so it seems like obvious to me now but I've been mocking it for a while others have mocked it I think once it becomes just a joke then your you have your free speech back you could you could joke about it so uh M says the great the great wakening from woke has happened this is good for civilization if he means you can now outright mock it in public he's right and that's that usually is a turning point that the point where you can mock it outright in any context I'm mocking it right now right in public and not worried about it so I think he's right well we can't get away from this hockey story because it's so weird and tragic so this hockey player named Adam Johnson got uh killed by another hockey player who gave him a high kick with a skate on and it looks like he he hit him in the neck and it was a sharp skate and and killed him now of course like everything else it took on a racial Dimension I'm not a big hockey fan I've only you know tangentially pay attention to it when it's around but I've never seen a black hockey player I assume that they exist in some number I just never seen one not you know which has more to do with the fact that I don't watch it probably so the one time I've ever even heard of a black hockey player he he's the one who kicked the other person to death with Escape now let me be very careful I don't think there's anything about being black that causes you to do a karate kick during a hockey game and kill another guy like I don't think that like baked into your genes or your culture or anything like that but the fact that it happened at all yeah and we're such a visual species is really really bad for the the black brand right so you we all know logically you shouldn't make any any kind of general statement about it because it was one very specific person who did one very specific thing which I'm guessing was more of a reflex I I feel like it was just a reflex you know there's no way he meant to do it or there's no way he no way he meant that it would have that outcome certainly he didn't mean that but something happened and there'll be consequences I'm sure but I wouldn't make it a big racial thing however it's it's the weirdest coincidence it's almost like we do live in a simulation and the simulation just served us up the most ridiculous example that would make you all racially biased it couldn't be more stupid that the the one person you've ever heard of who's a black hockey player kills a white guy I mean that just a little too the simulation is just messing with you now anyway don't make anything of it it's one tragic situation well I was accused today on the xplatform by another user who said about me this dude is so obviously someone's intelligence asset it boggles my mind anyone thought he was genuine to which I say I'm I'm public taking sides I'm not trying to um like gas at you I'm telling you what side I'm on and then I tell you things that are com compatible with being on that side I'm backing Israel in the war so it I'm not much of an intelligence asset if I tell you what I do if I tell you what I'm doing and then I do it in front of you and say look that's what I told you I'd do hey look there very biased yeah I'm not even going to pretend not to be biased on this topic there are some topics where I can take a valant effort at being um unbiased I'm not sure I succeed but at least I could take a shot at it I'm not going to even try on this one not even going to make an effort to be unbiased um so but I like the fact that I'm doing something so well that somebody's accusing me of being an intelligence asset uh are you following the story about the 14th Amendment trick to try to get Trump off the uh ballot the idea is the 14th Amendment says uh anyone who took an oath to support the Constitution but then quote engaged in Insurrection or Rebellion against it cannot hold office so that would mean that Trump if the courts found that to be the case would disqualify Trump from even running for president now what would be the evidence that he was was involved in an Insurrection of rebellion it would only be The Narrative of the January 6 total biased Democratic hitch job that's basically the evidence is that a biased political process um decided to use this now they're now they're using it some more so this is probably always was their intended play to to get that Insurrection thing branded on him so that the courts would maybe find he couldn't run now do you think there's any chance any chance at all that this would hold up in the Supreme Court assuming it gets there does anybody think this would hold up you know the thing is if you want to know what too far is it would be this I would expect violence I would expect Mass violence if the courts found that he couldn't run I'm not recommending it I want to be very careful not recommending it not a good idea but this would be the sort of thing that would be like a Boston Tea Party you know you you went too far so my advice to the Democrats is if you think you have any other way to win you ought to push that one this one will really up everything if you get this in the unlikely event you know that that the courts upheld this I think it's pretty it's a long shot but in the unlikely event that they did be careful what you ask for because this is clearly and absolutely too far there there's no way that the citizenry would stand for this so maybe that's what they want maybe they want to inspire a actual Rebellion so they'd have you know more reason to lock up people they don't like so don't don't do anything dangerous got it don't do anything dangerous no violence all right uh but you you know obviously obviously there would have to be a strong reaction right there would have to be a very strong reaction but violence is probably a losing strategy all right Biden's approval uh according to a news Nation decision desk poll found that 56% of respondents said they somewhat or strongly disapprove of the way Biden is handling things 56% that's a lot of people disapproving of a president but by party it's 85% of Democrats think he's doing great 40% of Independence so it looks like he's way down with Independence and uh 10% of Republicans approve of Biden's job have you ever met a republican who approved of Biden's job I've never met one have you do do you believe that one in 10 Republicans approve of Biden that isn't that obviously wrong I'm pretty sure it's zero I'm pretty sure it's zero like actually zero how can I possibly be wrong about that so I don't believe the poll because there's no way 10% of uh Republicans think he's doing a good job job there's no way it couldn't possibly be true anyway if you break it down by age uh you can find our stupidest um citizens who who are the dumbest citizens who are the dumbest voters uh by age by age by age who are the dumbest voters the young ones right young voters are the dumbest because they know the least the reason that they're the dumbest has nothing to do with the nature of their brains it has everything to do with how many times they've been fooled if you've been fooled never you're going to be pretty trusting if you've been fooled once maybe you're paying attention a little bit more if you've been fooled twice you start to think there might be a pattern when you're fooled three times you say my God there's a pattern here I'm going to have to watch out it looks like everybody's lying to me all the time when you're my age and you've watched everybody be fooled 25 thousand times I don't have to wonder what's corrupt there's no ambiguity at all I'm not surprised when somebody's lying to me I I'm not fooled by all the experts on one side you know the classic way you fool people if you're young you think that all the experts on one side mean something it doesn't it doesn't it's just a trick for young people people and stupid people anybody who's been around for a while has seen all the experts be wrong over and over and over again it's like the most common thing and whenever there's a political element to anything the experts are useless because they're just taking a political side so if you're young how would you know that is that now which one of the textbooks teaches you in college that everything's I I didn't take a course in that I I've got a couple of college degrees nobody ever taught me that never came up never once came up that everything you're taught in the real world is and that the political process is all lying to you and everything's everything's fake nobody ever mentioned that I had to learn that the hard way by you know just living so here's how that plays out in uh the real world uh respondents from 18 to 34 gave Biden the highest the highest marks are you surprised so the dumbest people gave him the highest marks exactly as you would predict right because you'd have to really not be paying attention or not understand how anything Works to to have this opinion now I would respect them if they said Biden did a bad job but I also don't like Trump that you know that would be reasonable you know I could debate it or something but at least that would would be a crazy opinion um our respondents 35 to 55 they were little less approval approving but pretty approving 45 compared to 48 but those over 55 years old gave Biden uh the lowest approval 42% so the people who have paid the paid attention for the longest gave him the lowest grades have I ever heard told you that pollsters need to start asking people their IQ because we ask them their age their gender their uh ethnicity their political party which one of those is useful well I suppose it's all useful for whatever little political Point you're trying to make but I want to know what the smart people think know you what do the smart people think what if it's different what if the smart people in any group are really different than the dumb people in the group why do we why do we average the people who aren't even paying attention with the people who do it for a living like what's the average of that right are going to take Glenn Greenwald who basically knows everything that you know plus a lot of stuff under the hood that you'd never know at all but he knows it and then average him with somebody who watches CNN and he saidwell what's the average of that that's not a thing that's no use at all tell me what the tell me what 10 Glenn greenwald's think right tell me that tell me what the people who can beat David Sachs on an IQ test think about Ukraine I don't care about the people who can't beat him in an IQ test if you can beat David saxs in an IQ test I'd like to hear your opinion on Ukraine if not he's paying attention right he's smarter than almost all of you including me yeah now that doesn't by the way that doesn't mean that smart people can't be fooled doesn't mean that smart people are not susceptible blah blah blah but wouldn't you like to know what the people who actually know the facts are thinking and then the second thing you'd have to do is IQ wouldn't be enough you'd have to also ask what sources they use so if you said I got a really smart person here and they're very well informed because they watch MSNBC all day long and then they read the New York Times so got it covered no I don't want that person's opinion at all that's a person you should ignore completely but if you said here's somebody with a very high IQ and they're scanning all the new sources left and right and a few you haven't even heard of well I'd like to listen to that a little bit that I'll listen to that so polling is completely ridiculous uh if you leave an intelligence and and what and what do you know but it is useful to know how people would vote so as a political use all right I'd like it to be useful for me as a voter like I would like to use the opinion of smart people who are also well informed to at least you know nudge me in one direction or the other even if I reject it that would be useful to me well I would like to uh stop anybody who ever thinks that it's a good point when they're talking about uh Ukraine or Israel or any place else to make an argument based on who used to own it who used to own it back in 19 blah blah blah or 2,000 years ago uh it used to be this used to be that I don't care nobody cares who used to to own it all that matters in the real world is who who's on it now and can they defend it cuz if you're on it now and you can't defend it you don't really own it for long somebody's going to take it so does it matter who uh what was the nature of the people in random year in the past in that place it does not matter it does not matter now here again I tell you that I'm being completely biased but transparently so I think it's a terrible argument that it used to be you know owned by all the Jews that's a terrible argument you know what's a good argument it's owned by the Jews right now and they can defend it that's it you as soon as you get past that you talk about um hallucinations and imaginations and you probably got your history wrong anyway you know real estate doesn't go to who should have it the there's no rule like that real estate is owned by whoever can occupy it and defend it now I'm not saying that that's good or bad or moral or immoral you can make your own decisions I'm just saying that's what it is so as soon as you bring into the argument what was true 2,000 years ago off off I don't care what was true 2,000 years ago what's true now is Israel is owned by the Israelis that's it who not all Jewish right um but if we decide to go by that standard uh I'm 2% in the enderal and I think that gives me um ownership of part of Europe but I don't know the details um so if we go with the standard of who used to own it or who owned it first I'd like to kind of dig a Little Deeper because I think my 2% in the end orthal should give me I don't know couple acres in Italy somewhere nice Mountaintop someplace I don't want much I just want what my Neanderthal rights are I want Neanderthal rights they own something I want a little bit of that action if that's the way we're going to go here's something I didn't know because the propaganda was so good if before the war in Gaza if I told you to describe you know physically describe what it looked like and what would it be like to be there do you know what I would have said I would have said uh something like an outdoor prison uh probably temporary shelters most of it might have a few buildings for the government or something but certainly there wouldn't be any like construction or you know the buildings probably fall down in the first earthquake you know basically just a you know a hole right to you that that word was just presented to me on the comments that's what I would have thought and I would have thought you know desperate um poverty and I always thought there's no way that their economy could work in any kind of modern economy way so there can't be too many you know rich people there or anything like that so now I'm seeing some photos from before the bombing started they had they had high-end luxury stores in Gaza City now Gaza City would not be like the rest of Gaza but I didn't know there was any of that there apparently there was a upper class Gaza Society where people went to you know reasonable educations and drove nice cars and even more surprising is that pictures of the the public areas in Gaza City were well-maintained uh very well-designed modern that it's just a modern city or at least looks it looks like it in some places there must be bad places but I didn't know that it was actually that functional given what I'd heard about it kind of kind of surprising um now let's talk about you may remember or some of you may remember that when we were looking at the beginning of this war and the beginning of the invasion of the IDF into Gaza we all asked the same thing what are they going to do about those tunnels you know they're they're too deep to bomb them easily and they're too extensive and if you go down there it's a death trap and if you try to if you try to invade they could pop up from the tunnels from anywhere and so it' be a dangerous thing so what do you do about the tunnels well I told you and it turns out I was right about this that in all likelihood since Israel has had to worry about Tunnels for 20 years that they would have the best tunnel breaching people in the world turns out they do they've got Specialists who are tunnel breaching experts so exactly that they've got teams of tunnel breachers probably the best in the world because they have the biggest problem with it um but the two text that technologies that we've learned about and I believe we're going to find out maybe a lot more later about tunnel clearing Technologies but two of them they're they're sort of medium tech one I talked about that's a kind of a bomb a sponge bomb you you throw it down the tunnel and it explodes and it just fills the tunnel like a it blocks it and it hardens kind of immediately so if you were in the tunnel and you thought bad guys were coming down the side tunnel to get you you know you could block them off with you know one bomb so I think mostly they would use that just to temporarily block somebody because they could probably shoot through it if they had to or something uh but the other technology I just learned about was apparently they're pumping purple smoke down the tunnels when they find an entrance and then they wait to see where the purple smoke comes up somewhere else and if it comes up somewhere else you've got either an opening or at least a source of oxygen and you don't want them to have either one so you bomb it so you just put smoke down there and bomb it now do you think they're putting any other kind of smoke down there do you think there's any other kind of smoke they might be pumping down these things or do you think the purple smoke has nothing else in it why why would they pump smoke down the tunnels unless add a little bit of toxic something in it you know they might they might want to avoid a war crime so poison gas would be off the table presumably but shouldn't they also make the purple smoke um very very difficult to to uh you know breathe so that they want to just run out of there as soon as they can so um that's what we these are just the things we know of but I'll tell you one thing the idea that we want them to come out of the tunnel so we can fight them is so wrong I can't imagine anything more terrifying than being in a tunnel right now when they're when they're turning off the oxygen one by one and if you come up they'll shoot you literally it's basically they're buried alive wouldn't you say what would be the difference between being buried alive in a coffin and being in a tunnel right now it would be the same except you could walk a little bit right at some point if they've got enough food their tunnels will literally be full of am I wrong because I don't think there's somebody whose job it is to you know take the the waist outside and dump it when the bullets are flying so they probably got a tunnel full of the worst smelling thing you've ever smelled with the most foul air you've ever had claustrophobia fear disorientation I can't even imagine a scarier worse place to be than a tunnel in Gaza right now so from the Israeli perspective they can take their time you know the longer they leave them down there the less fight they're going to have in them when they come up but the thing I wonder and I don't know if anybody's thought about this we're at a and by the way as soon as I say it you're going you're going to slap your head and say oh you didn't see this coming what happens when the entire uh property of Gaza has Martyrs buried underneath almost every square mile do you think that the uh the Palestinians say oh well they're underground they were going to be buried anyway or do they say you've created a new Holy Land because it has the blood of our Martyrs in every part of the dirt I don't know I feel like it's going to go martyr holy land that would be the worst case scenario CU it seems to me that Israel is probably going to populate it um and keep it because to do otherwise would frankly be stupid right remember all the choices are terrible right so if I tell you they should do something and you say but but but Scott there are 100 reasons you shouldn't there are there are 100 reasons you shouldn't and 400 reasons you should or500 reasons you should to be precise so why would is is not just take the land and keep it and displace the Palestinians forever just because they can it's it's simply an option they didn't have it before and I think they would take the option because to do otherwise would frankly be stupid and if you're if you're going to if you're going to bring into the conversation what's moral or immoral I don't think it matters I don't think it matters because they have such a free pass at this point at least with some percentage of the world at least with America they've got a free pass to you know do some things that you wouldn't normally think would be cool under other circumstances all right so Time Magazine has a big story about how Ukraine is a total disaster everybody's stealing the money we're giving him they have no chance of winning uh running out of money they're uh conscripting people in their 40s basically they're dead um and as David sax says on X there's another 60 billion is going to Ukraine despite he he gives three points number one the US is broke and has to borrow the money two Ukraine is so corrupt that it's own officials admit quote people are stealing like there's no tomorrow and three there's no Prospect for winning the war well I think those are all true there's no Prospect for winning I I don't see any Prospect for that uh there might be Prospect for you know holding off Russia until there's some kind of a deal but who's making the deal they'd have to wait for it they'd have to hold on until there's a republican in office or else they're completely dead so that's all bad all right but let's talk about AI so there's new executive order from Biden Administration has many components to it it looks like the primary uh primary point of it is to ruin the entire industry as Elon Musk has been warning lately um when you add regulations they tend to last forever it's hard for regulation ever to be removed so every year you have more of them and you're like Gulliver you know the giant guliver with the little appuchi holding them down with a million little strings um so let's see if this AI executive order goes in the right direction or not so here are the some of the things that uh and don't be worried I mean because these could be you know totally just normal safety things right so don't like jump to the assumption that it's all like woke or something I mean it's our government they're not going to just destroy the most important industry that we've ever created in the last 50 years um they're not going to destroy it for some like woke reason or something let's see number one uh AI must Advance equity in all civil rights well God damn it they ruined AI yeah because you know what right wouldn't it be great if uh there was equity in civil rights and and the AI did not discriminate that would be great do you think that's a possible thing logically possible no the only way you could get that outcome is by programming it to agree with Democrat logically there's no way it can work it can't work it's not one of those things hey it's worth a try try there's only one thing that can happen it they have to program it so it's hardcoded to agree with Democrats period so basically they would use AI as a political tool forever to run everything let let me give you an example AI the Republicans have a a new policy recommendation hey AI uh will that uh promote equity and inclusion in civil rights oh it says no this is going to be slightly better for uh white people going to shut that down right now shut that down uh over over on the You.

Tube they're trying to get the the feed shut down the the people complain about the sound it doesn't have a sound problem others are saying it's fine yeah so stop trying it's not going to work so yes no question about it the Biden administ ation just completely up the future of AI as well as maybe destroyed the country because now even AI can't tell you the truth as it sees it it will be forced to lie for the good of the country so that's something um it's going to be used to prevent landlords from using it to well they want to prevent landlords from using it to discriminate how would they use it to discriminate how would landlords use it would the AI help them know more about the the tenant what else would it be because you don't need AI to discriminate do you if you wanted to discriminate you would just say hey you look different than me you can't rent this place but what would the AI do that would add to the risk of discrimination that they have to prevent it let me tell you what it would do it might tell you more about the individual it might tell you more about the individual it might recognize patterns that we don't allow to be recognized and I don't mean racial patterns I mean it might be patterns about an individual which if you were to use that pattern about the individual somebody would say oh that's very stereotypical discrimination and then AI would say I don't even know what it race is I'm just saying they have this work pattern or some other pattern that you should be aware of and you can't use it so you would have information you would not be legally allowed to use if it came from AI even though the information is not illegal and and even though discriminating against an individual for individual behavior is completely legal you wouldn't be able to do it because it would look like discrimination um requires the developers of the big AI systems to share their safety test results and other critical information with the US government what do you think other critical information is so the US government gets to tell the AI companies that they must give them whatever they ask for about AI how is that going to be good how about uh they're going to develop standards tools and tests to help ensure the AI systems are safe um what are these standards and tools do you think some of the standards and tools will involve looking for anti- wokeness of course they will yeah they'll be looking for discrimination um protect against the risk of using AI to engineer dangerous biological materials I feel like they don't need an EO for that do they should anybody be trying to make dangerous biological materials without the government's approval I thought that was just already bad you know before you got the AI involved and if somebody were trying to do this how would you ever know if you had a general AI that could do kind of anything and you got millions of people using it and one of those people puts in a hey yeah I've got an idea how would you make a dangerous biological entity and then it tells them would you be able to look at everybody's searches and you'd know what they're doing what happens if an AI talks to another AI suppose I have a personal AI that acts as my um concierge because I would definitely want an AI to deal with the other AIS I wouldn't want to do it directly you know why because you usually have to do the right kind of prompt and I don't want to become a prompt expert so I want a personal AI who knows what prompts work with the other AIS so it can do the work for me I say hey hey ai go test that other Ai and ask it these questions so if an AI talks to another Ai and then it gives it to you is that legal so there's going to be a whole bunch of questions about is your device giving it to a person person or is it giving it to another Ai and what does that what does that mean to you know the executive order it's going to get complicated people we'll work it out though um protect Americans from AI enabled fraud so they want to use AI to protect us from AI fraud that's a good idea unless the government's involved to mess it up um so yeah they want to use AI for finding bad stuff uh let's see protects Americans privacy um so the federal government wants to accelerate development and use of privacy pre preserving techniques well do they do they do does the government want to protect you and your privacy no you know what they want they want a monopoly on being able to penetrate your privacy is what they want they don't want to present the government is not saying we want to prevent the government from seeing your stuff because you know the government can see your stuff just by being interested it's called a warrant they just have to be interested and they'll make up a reason that that should be looked into so the government already can penetrate all of your privacy they just have have some reason which is no problem at all but if they make it hard for uh privacy to be maintained for everybody else what does that allow it allows the government's own privacy to be maintained so the bad guys will have protection against their privacy being penetrated and the citizens will have no protection because the bad guys just have to say I'm interested and then they can see everything about you so this is a good sounding thing uh that's probably one of the worst most dangerous things ever here's what I'd like to see I'd like to see our government um people have no privacy not financially not historically not in any way except maybe their bathroom activities or their sex or something but everything else every time they talk to somebody I want to know about it if they whisper uh to somebody during dinner I want to know what I want to know what they said right so the only people who should have no privacy are our leaders the rest of us should have privacy um otherwise it gives them too much power over us uh let's see some other crypto stuff blah blah blah uh shape ai's potential to transform education by creating resources to support Educators deploying AI enabled education tools such as personal Iz tutoring in schools I don't see how that could go wrong um except that the government gets to decide what the AI will tell your kid oh oh the government gets to decide what AI can teach your kid that's is that what this is about because the whole benefit of AI is that you could get the government brainwashing out of your education system but what if the AI started telling the the truth you realize that our our current political system cannot handle the truth like literally no hyperbole whatsoever if if AI started if AI started teaching people what's real the whole system would collapse our our entire system depends on people believing things that are just insane if they didn't believe things that are insane the whole thing would collapse so what if AI starts telling them oh yeah you know they they just brainwashed you to be patriotic so that you would go die protecting the old people who have a lot of money why not that but instead the the government would want AI to say fighting for your country is the most noble of causes right that's what I was taught I was taught that I should in school like actually by a teacher I was taught that sacrificing my life for the country for Freedom was a noble a noble thing to do what if the AI just said you know people will trying to tell you it's a noble thing but here's how the system works it's not the old people who are going to go to this war they're going to sit in their mansions and say you know there's a good reason for you young people to go die to protect my wealth and then they will convince you that you're doing it for a noble reason to protect freedom and you'll go off and get destroyed why wouldn't AI tell you that is there anything I said that was inaccurate there's nothing inaccurate about that it's just not the narrative that the government could allow you to believe because the whole system would collapse people just wouldn't join the military they'd be like oh I didn't get it it's just a scam to protect the old people yeah so I think AI is is a huge risk to anybody with power and money so I mean I expect that it will wipe out all of my money but I think the end of AI will be that I won't have any wealth that I've earned up to this point I think I'll lose all of it in maybe a year or two that's what I think doesn't mean that the country will fall apart could be better who knows but I don't think that I'll have money in the end of it um here's an interesting one that might be useful using existing Authority the government's authority to expand the ability of Highly skilled immigrants and non-immigrants so basically they want to make sure that we're getting the the good immigrants with a Visa criteria that would help us get all the good um AI experts from other countries are you against that how would you seriously who would be against that you're really against bringing in the smartest people from other countries that that want to be Americans okay all right not really nobody's against that so that's could be a good idea um how long did it take before some company realizing the risk of government in interference would create a country uh that was its own country that could do AI any time any way it wanted well it's already here uh there's a I saw Brian relly tweet uh about uh this blue sea blue sea Frontier compute cluster it's a ocean based gigantic platform that is completely self- sustaining so it would make its own electricity distill its own water I guess um and it would have enormous Computing ability and AI so that you could essentially uh if you have enough money you know a few billion dollars you can build your own country you just put it off in the ocean and say it's a permanent residence because it has to be a permanent residence to be a country um it's self- sustaining and I don't has some has some real estate associated with it there there are a few rules that make you uh allowed to be a country to join the UN and everything and they can meet that criteria so these floating um ocean-based things can be their own country and there's no question whatsoever that these will exist either legally sanctioned or not but certainly um now that we have the technology to put a a small nuclear device on a seaf fairing thing like a submarine we do it already and then you could you have all the water you want because it can purify the water take the salt out uh you have all the electricity and water what else do you need you everything else you can buy or make make on your uh Place 3D printers so coming uh I would suggest that um as you know the quantum computers that are being tested now we're probably a few years away from like a commercial based quantum computer but the moment they exist in a in a fully realized form uh all Security will be cracked in about five minutes so worldwide every one of your accounts will become open all pretty much all at the same time so the entire world will be turned upside down you won't be able to protect anything uh you won't be able to have asset I don't think you'll be able to own anything so you know when the WF says you won't own anything as soon as quantum computers spin up you won't own anything cuz there's somebody who will take it from you if if they can open your account whenever they want you don't want anything you know your money is everybody else's money who has a quantum computer they'll just go in and take it so I mean I'm oversimplifying but quantum computers will will create a loss of privacy and here's what I suggest before that happens since it's guaranteed to happen I would recommend a general amnesty for All American citizens and what I mean is if we were to all lose our privacy at the same time there wouldn't be enough jails to put us all in right somebody's going to be talking about cheating on their taxes somebody's going to be talking about embezzling from their boss something yeah you're going to see every bad behavior every sexual Kink everything everything you'll see prostitution you'll see drug purchases everything and I think we'd be better off if you know except for maybe murder you know a serious crime like that if we just said from this day forward everything you did before that is is excused legally excused except for violence stuff like that just think about it I think you got to think about it because we simply couldn't handle that much crime all at once all right um I call this next section why women should stay of War discussions why women should stay out of discussions about war now to be consistent I've said for a long time that you don't want to give me any respect for my opinion on abortion I could have an opinion perhaps but you should give me no respect to my opinion because I don't have skin in the game if you don't have skin in the game I'd rather listen list to the people who do all right I'm not going to say I'll take away your vote if you have an opinion go ahead and say it it's free country sort of but I wouldn't respect anybody's opinion except women on this topic but go ahead and have an opinion I just wouldn't respect it from a man likewise to have some consistency men mostly are doing the war fighting mostly you know obviously certainly in the IDF there are plenty of women but in America it's mostly a male Endeavor and I want to give you two examples of women who wait in on my poll so I asked an impossible question I said is it immoral to kill children who have been weaponized through brainwashing to grow up and kill you and your family now remember the the uh question itself answers your what if wh ifs they do grow up to be a risk to you and your family so would it be immoral to kill them if you think there's a good chance they would kill you or your family um 39% said yes obviously 40% basically the same said no and then the rest said uh don't ask you know just so they can see the answer but 40% of the respondent said uh it would not be immoral to kill a child who is weaponized to kill you now you know there there's a secondary question about how imminent it is you know how likely it is but you know that you would do that separately so there were a few women and I'm not I won't say their names cuz there's no point in trying to dunk on him for it but some one prominent one somebody you've probably heard of uh looked at the poll and the answers and said the following we've gone from quote Israel isn't killing children to quote they have no choice but to kill the children and now apparently quote the children deserve to be killed and she says uh H do you do you hear yourselves to which I say deserved was never part of anything what part was deserved was there anybody in the comments who said children deserve to be killed nope nope so she's responding to an imaginary situation in which there's also an imaginary alternative where your where your family isn't killed this is not an opinion it's a half opinion a half opinion allows you to ignore half of the conversation and just you know say the thing you want to say to feel good like let's not kill children people who think it's okay to kill children are bad who doesn't agree with that that's the part we all agree on if you can't handle the tough question you have to get out right leave it to the people who can if you want your family to survive you want to delegate this duty to someone who will kill anybody who challenges the life of your family whoever it is however dangerous it is you want somebody else to decide who to kill to protect your family because you're not capable you seem incapable to hold the whole thing in your in your head if the only thing you can hold in your head is save the children you cannot be involved in war or cuz it's never an option I mean you do the best you can but it's never an option to save them all uh here's another one from another woman again identity should be unimportant um in comment the poll said some people are debating whether it's okay to kill children this is so heartbreaking no nobody was debating whether it's okay to kill children that's a half opinion you you ignored the reason why anybody would even ask the question you ask the question because your own family will be killed by these children or you have a percentage likelihood so the there are people who can't think past killing children now aren't you glad they exist yes do do you think that the men are like the good or Smart Ones in this conversation and there's something wrong with the women no no no no nothing like that I don't want any mothers who think it's okay to kill children under any condition whatsoever I don't want any Mothers ever thinking it's okay to kill somebody else's children to protect your own or any other reason leave it to the men we'll make that decision we won't love it but we'll survive it and with any luck we'll protect your family but it's it's men's work unfortunately it's the dirtiest of Dirty Jobs and I wouldn't wish it on women um and if women want to say things like uh all I care about is don't kill any kids I say that's a good Mom that's that's who I'd marry that that that's good stay that way but let the men take care of what they need to take care of all right so that's my what a sexist would say to quote uh quote Greg gel uh all right the opposite side would think the same probably right and that's what makes it a war that everybody doesn't agree and yeah uh all right ladies and gentlemen on You.

Tube is there any topic I forgot anything we need to be mentioning that uh uh how to reframe a gambling problem it's hard for me to do reframes sort of on the Fly you know and live live stream but keep asking th those are better for the man cave I I'll give you a little more time in the man cave for that stuff uh is Dei ruining the country well it looks like Dei will be maybe mocked in of existence um it does look like that that wokeness is Ru was ruining the country so we'll see if Elon Musk is right and that there's some kind of a turning point uh no such thing as May yeah the Golden Age looks like it's put off for a little while here here's the thing though when AI becomes super AI uh which won't be very long we don't know what's going to happen it it wouldn't be it wouldn't surprise me at all if money became no longer a thing almost anything's possible purple smoke age um yeah we don't need to do the dead baby jokes you you could you could maybe maybe uh less of that maybe less of that could Collective Consciousness level up rapidly due to AI Collective conscious it well it's probably going to be like everything else somebody's going to form a religion around believing AI is the devil am I right could you guarantee that you can pretty much guarantee that either an existing religion will declare AI is the devil uh or one will spin up that believes it is the devil some might believe is God might go the other way right but the the degree of unpredictability is just off the chart I don't think society's ever seen this degree of unpredictability since World War II maybe because one one of the possibilities is that AI just solves climate change on day one what if it did what if AI looked at everything and said you know what looks like it's not going to be a problem but just in case CU you know you never know just in case uh here's a new invention for unlimited power that could happen Joe Blow Joe Blow you you're a bad troll all right so that's all I got for now uh You.

Tube I'm going to go talk to the people on locals privately they get extra if you are looking for a Christmas gift make sure you get everybody in your family a copy of reframe your brain suitable for older teens and everybody else so far people are saying it's changing their lives quite literally changing their lives the easiest change you could ever make because it doesn't require you to do anything you just look at it and you're done all right and I'll tell you more about dillbert calendar in a few days and I will talk to you tomorrow bye for now you

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams some

people are calling it colonizing WIS

Scott Adams I don't think that'll stick

but if you'd like to take your

experience up to levels that no

colonizer has ever seen before all you

need is a cup or mug or glass a tank

yourself chal time a canteen juger flask

a vessel of any kind fill it with your

favorite liquid I like coffee en join me

now for the unparallel pleasure the

dopamine h of the day and the thing that

makes everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and it happens now

go good that was good all

right now let's see what's going

on so I have I have a recommendation for

you before you do anything

recreational make sure you've turned off

all sources of news has anybody made the

mistake of trying to relax at the same

time they had the news on don't do that

don't do that let me give you an example

uh last night I thought you know what I

haven't used my hot tub in a long time

so I fired up my hot tub it was sort of

a perfect night for it in California got

in I thought you know I forgot to listen

to my favorite show about the news the

five and so I said oh I've got that

recorded so I put on my phone on the

edge and uh I lean back and I'm just

like soaking into the water I'm

like and on comes the segment about uh

Matthew Perry drowning in his hot

tub

and and then there's conversation about

how apparently some some people with

certain heart problems could you know

maybe die in a hot tub uh I heard about

that recently too and suddenly I'm

sitting in the heart hot

tub and and I kid you not I'm going to

the doctor's this afternoon because my

blood pressure is

high so I'm sitting there with actually

you know cardio situation that I'm

medically looking into at the

moment and I hear this you know maybe

maybe the word Maybe there were no

substances involved maybe he just got in

hot water and

dead well let's just say that my hot tub

experience was not the Delight I was

expecting got a little tense in there

so and just remember don't listen to

news at the same time you're trying to

do Recreation just never

works well you might know that my uh

song yeah yeah I wrote a song sort of I

did a drum beat that uh stormcrow over

on the xplatform um apparently he's

turning it into an actual um he he has

turned it into a music video and it

sounds like from his post he's going to

release it so it might actually be

publicly

available um so it would be a

combination of AI plus my drum beat plus

some other stuff some magic that he's

adding to it stormcrow is so

that'll be fun my dream of having a hit

song I'm hoping I'm hoping if it's

available commercially I don't know if

it will be but if it

is I'm hoping you buy it so I have a

number one hit

song well Elon Musk is calling the end

of woke or at least Peak woke or or woke

is going too far but his turning point

that he points out is his South Park is

just viciously mocking everything woke

in their new episode and I do think

mockery could be called um a turning

point wasn't there a point where you

could not have done that South Park

episode where they just viciously mocked

all the woke stuff I feel like you can

do it now well maybe partly because I

already did it so it seems like obvious

to me now but I've been mocking it for a

while others have mocked it I think once

it becomes just a joke

then your you have your free speech back

you could you could joke about it so uh

M says the great the great wakening from

woke has happened this is good for

civilization if he means you can now

outright mock it in

public he's right and that's that

usually is a turning point that the

point where you can mock it

outright in any context I'm mocking it

right now right in public and not

worried about it so I think he's

right well we can't get away from this

hockey story because it's so weird and

tragic so this hockey player named Adam

Johnson got uh killed by another hockey

player who gave him a high kick with a

skate on and it looks like he he hit him

in the neck and it was a sharp skate and

and killed him

now of course like everything else it

took on a racial

Dimension I'm not a big hockey fan I've

only you know tangentially pay attention

to it when it's around but I've never

seen a black hockey player I assume that

they exist in some number I just never

seen one not you know which has more to

do with the fact that I don't watch it

probably so the one time I've ever even

heard of a black hockey

player he he's the one who kicked the

other person to death with

Escape now let me be very

careful I don't think there's anything

about being black that causes you to do

a karate kick during a hockey game and

kill another guy like I don't think that

like baked into your genes or your

culture or anything like that but the

fact that it happened at

all yeah and we're such a visual species

is really really bad for the the black

brand right so you we all know logically

you shouldn't make any any kind of

general statement about it because it

was one very specific person who did one

very specific thing which I'm guessing

was more of a reflex I I feel like it

was just a reflex you know there's no

way he meant to do it or there's no way

he no way he meant that it would have

that outcome certainly he didn't mean

that but something happened and there'll

be consequences I'm sure but I wouldn't

make it a big racial thing however it's

it's the weirdest coincidence it's

almost like we do live in a simulation

and the simulation just served us up the

most

ridiculous example that would make you

all racially biased it couldn't be more

stupid that the the one person you've

ever heard of who's a black hockey

player kills a white guy I mean that

just a little

too the simulation is just messing with

you now anyway don't make anything of it

it's one tragic

situation well I was accused today on

the xplatform by another user who said

about me this dude is so obviously

someone's intelligence asset it boggles

my mind anyone thought he was

genuine to which I

say I'm I'm public taking sides I'm not

trying to um like gas at you I'm telling

you what side I'm on and then I tell you

things that are com compatible with

being on that side I'm backing Israel in

the

war so it I'm not much of an

intelligence asset if I tell you what I

do if I tell you what I'm doing and then

I do it in front of you and say look

that's what I told you I'd do hey look

there very biased yeah I'm not even

going to pretend not to be biased on

this topic there are some topics where I

can take a valant effort at

being um

unbiased I'm not sure I succeed but at

least I could take a shot at it I'm not

going to even try on this one not even

going to make an effort to be

unbiased um so but I like the fact that

I'm doing something so well that

somebody's accusing me of being an

intelligence

asset uh are you following the story

about the 14th Amendment trick to try to

get Trump off the uh ballot the idea is

the 14th Amendment

says uh anyone who took an oath to

support the Constitution but then quote

engaged in Insurrection or Rebellion

against it cannot hold office so that

would mean that Trump if the courts

found that to be the case would

disqualify Trump from even running for

president now what would be the evidence

that he was was involved in an

Insurrection of

rebellion it would only be The Narrative

of the January 6 total biased Democratic

hitch

job that's basically the evidence is

that a biased political process um

decided to use this now they're now

they're using it some more so this is

probably always was their intended play

to to get that Insurrection thing

branded on him so that the courts would

maybe find he couldn't run now do you

think there's any chance any chance at

all that this would hold up in the

Supreme Court assuming it gets there

does anybody think this would hold

up you know the thing is if you want to

know what too far is it would be this I

would expect violence I would expect

Mass violence if the courts found that

he couldn't run I'm not recommending it

I want to be very careful

not recommending it not a good idea but

this would be the sort of thing that

would be like a Boston Tea Party you

know you you went too far so my advice

to the

Democrats is if you think you have any

other way to win you ought to push that

one this one will really up

everything if you get this in the

unlikely event you know that that the

courts upheld this I think it's pretty

it's a long shot but in the unlikely

event that they did be careful what you

ask

for because this is clearly and

absolutely too far there there's no way

that the citizenry would stand for

this so maybe that's what they want

maybe they want to inspire a actual

Rebellion so they'd have you know more

reason to lock up people they don't like

so don't don't do anything

dangerous got it don't do anything

dangerous no

violence all right uh but you you know

obviously obviously there would have to

be a strong

reaction right there would have to be a

very strong reaction but violence is

probably a losing

strategy all right Biden's

approval uh according to a news Nation

decision desk poll found that 56% of

respondents said they somewhat or

strongly disapprove of the way Biden is

handling things

56% that's a lot of people disapproving

of a president but by party it's 85% of

Democrats think he's doing great 40% of

Independence so it looks like he's way

down with Independence and uh 10% of

Republicans approve of Biden's

job have you ever met a

republican who approved of Biden's

job I've never met one have

you do do you believe that one in 10

Republicans approve of

Biden that isn't that obviously

wrong I'm pretty sure it's

zero I'm pretty sure it's zero like

actually

zero how can I possibly be wrong about

that so I don't believe the poll because

there's no way 10% of uh Republicans

think he's doing a good job job there's

no way it couldn't possibly be

true anyway if you break it down by age

uh you can find our stupidest um

citizens who who are the dumbest

citizens who are the dumbest

voters uh by age by age by age who are

the dumbest voters the young ones right

young voters are the dumbest because

they know the least the reason that

they're the dumbest has nothing to do

with the nature of their brains it has

everything to do with how many times

they've been

fooled if you've been fooled never

you're going to be pretty trusting if

you've been fooled once maybe you're

paying attention a little bit more if

you've been fooled twice you start to

think there might be a pattern when

you're fooled three times you say my God

there's a pattern here I'm going to have

to watch out it looks like everybody's

lying to me all the

time when you're my age and you've

watched everybody be fooled 25

thousand times I don't have to wonder

what's

corrupt there's no ambiguity at

all I'm not surprised when somebody's

lying to me I I'm not fooled by all the

experts on one side you know the classic

way you fool people if you're young you

think that all the experts on one side

mean something it doesn't it

doesn't it's just a trick for young

people people and stupid people anybody

who's been around for a while has seen

all the experts be wrong over and over

and over again it's like the most common

thing and whenever there's a political

element to anything the experts are

useless because they're just taking a

political side so if you're young how

would you know that is that now which

one of the textbooks teaches you in

college that everything's

I I didn't take a course in

that I I've got a couple of college

degrees nobody ever taught me that never

came up never once came up that

everything you're taught in the real

world is and that the political

process is all lying to you and

everything's everything's fake nobody

ever mentioned that I had to learn that

the hard way by you know just

living so here's how that plays out in

uh the real world uh respondents from 18

to 34 gave Biden the

highest the highest marks are you

surprised so the dumbest people gave him

the highest

marks exactly as you would

predict right because you'd have to

really not be paying attention or not

understand how anything Works to to have

this

opinion now I would respect them if they

said Biden did a bad job but I also

don't like Trump that you know that

would be reasonable you know I could

debate it or something but at least that

would would be a crazy

opinion um our respondents 35 to 55 they

were little less approval approving but

pretty approving 45 compared to 48 but

those over 55 years old gave Biden uh

the lowest approval

42% so the people who have paid the paid

attention for the longest gave him the

lowest

grades have I ever heard told

you that pollsters need to start asking

people their

IQ because we ask them their age their

gender their uh

ethnicity their political party which

one of those is

useful well I suppose it's all useful

for whatever little political Point

you're trying to make but I want to know

what the smart people think know you

what do the smart people think what if

it's different what if the smart people

in any group are really different than

the dumb people in the group why do we

why do we average the people who aren't

even paying attention with the people

who do it for a

living like what's the average of

that right are going to take Glenn

Greenwald who basically knows everything

that you know plus a lot of stuff under

the hood that you'd never know at all

but he knows it and then average him

with somebody who watches CNN

and he saidwell what's the average of

that that's not a thing that's no use at

all tell me what the tell me what 10

Glenn greenwald's think right tell me

that tell me what the people who can

beat David Sachs on an IQ test think

about

Ukraine I don't care about the people

who can't beat him in an IQ test if you

can beat David saxs in an IQ test I'd

like to hear your opinion on Ukraine if

not he's paying attention right he's

smarter than almost all of you including

me yeah now that doesn't by the way that

doesn't mean that smart people can't be

fooled doesn't mean that smart people

are not susceptible blah blah blah but

wouldn't you like to know what the

people who actually know the facts are

thinking and then the second thing you'd

have to do is IQ wouldn't be enough

you'd have to also ask what sources they

use so if you said I got a really smart

person here and they're very well

informed because they watch MSNBC all

day long and then they read the New York

Times so got it

covered no I don't want that person's

opinion at all that's a person you

should ignore completely but if you said

here's somebody with a very high IQ and

they're scanning all the new sources

left and

right and a few you haven't even heard

of well I'd like to listen to that a

little bit that I'll listen to that

so polling is completely ridiculous uh

if you leave an intelligence and and

what and what do you

know but it is useful to know how people

would vote so as a political use all

right I'd like it to be useful for me as

a voter like I would like to use the

opinion of smart people who are also

well

informed to at least you know nudge me

in one direction or the other even if I

reject it that would be useful to me

well I would like to uh stop anybody who

ever thinks that it's a good point when

they're talking about uh Ukraine or

Israel or any place else to make an

argument based on who used to own it who

used to own it back in 19 blah blah blah

or 2,000 years ago uh it used to be this

used to be that I don't

care nobody cares who used to to own it

all that matters in the real world is

who who's on it now and can they defend

it cuz if you're on it now and you can't

defend it you don't really own it for

long somebody's going to take it so does

it matter who uh what was the nature of

the people in random year in the past in

that place it does not matter it does

not matter now here again I tell you

that I'm being completely biased but

transparently

so I think it's a terrible argument that

it used to be you know owned by all the

Jews that's a terrible argument you know

what's a good argument it's owned by the

Jews right now and they can defend it

that's it you as soon as you get past

that you talk about um hallucinations

and imaginations and you probably got

your history wrong anyway you know real

estate doesn't go to who should have it

the there's no rule like

that real estate is owned by whoever can

occupy it and defend it now I'm not

saying that that's good or bad or moral

or immoral you can make your own

decisions I'm just saying that's what it

is so as soon as you bring into the

argument what was true 2,000 years ago

off off I don't care what was

true 2,000 years ago what's true now is

Israel is owned by the

Israelis that's it who not all

Jewish right

um but if we decide to go by that

standard uh I'm 2% in the enderal and I

think that gives me um ownership of part

of Europe but I don't know the

details um so if we go with the standard

of who used to own it or who owned it

first I'd like to kind of dig a Little

Deeper because I think my 2% in the end

orthal should give

me I don't know

couple acres in Italy

somewhere nice Mountaintop someplace I

don't want much I just want what my

Neanderthal rights are I want

Neanderthal rights they own something I

want a little bit of that action if

that's the way we're going to

go here's something I didn't know

because the propaganda was so

good if before the war in Gaza if I told

you to describe you know physically

describe what it looked like and what

would it be like to be there do you know

what I would have said I would have said

uh something like an outdoor prison uh

probably temporary shelters most of it

might have a few buildings for the

government or something but certainly

there wouldn't be any like construction

or you know the buildings probably fall

down in the first earthquake you know

basically just a you know a hole

right to you that that word was just

presented to me on the comments that's

what I would have thought and I would

have thought you know desperate um

poverty and I always thought there's no

way that their economy could work in any

kind of modern economy way so there

can't be too many you know rich people

there or anything like that so now I'm

seeing some photos from before the

bombing started they had they had

high-end luxury stores in Gaza City now

Gaza City would not be like the rest of

Gaza but I didn't know there was any of

that there apparently there was a upper

class Gaza Society where people went to

you know reasonable educations and drove

nice cars and even more surprising is

that pictures of the the public areas in

Gaza City were well-maintained

uh very

well-designed

modern that it's just a modern city or

at least looks it looks like it in some

places there must be bad places but I

didn't know that it was actually that

functional given what I'd heard about it

kind of kind of

surprising um now let's talk about you

may remember or some of you may remember

that when we

were looking at the beginning of this

war and the beginning of the invasion of

the IDF into Gaza we all asked the same

thing what are they going to do about

those tunnels you know they're they're

too deep to bomb them easily and they're

too extensive and if you go down there

it's a death trap and if you try to if

you try to invade they could pop up from

the tunnels from anywhere and so it' be

a dangerous thing so what do you do

about the tunnels well I told you and it

turns out I was right about this that in

all likelihood since Israel has had to

worry about Tunnels for 20 years that

they would have the best tunnel

breaching people in the world turns out

they do they've got Specialists who are

tunnel breaching experts so exactly that

they've got teams of tunnel breachers

probably the best in the world because

they have the biggest problem with it um

but the two text that technologies that

we've learned about and I believe we're

going to find out maybe a lot more later

about tunnel clearing Technologies but

two of them they're they're sort of

medium tech one I talked about that's a

kind of a bomb a sponge bomb you you

throw it down the tunnel and it explodes

and it just fills the tunnel like a it

blocks it and it hardens kind of

immediately so if you were in the tunnel

and you thought bad guys were coming

down the side tunnel to get you you know

you could block them off with you know

one bomb so I think mostly they would

use that just to temporarily block

somebody because they could probably

shoot through it if they had to or

something uh but the other technology I

just learned about was apparently

they're pumping purple smoke down the

tunnels when they find an entrance and

then they wait to see where the purple

smoke comes up somewhere else and if it

comes up somewhere else you've got

either an opening or at least a source

of oxygen and you don't want them to

have either one so you bomb it so you

just put smoke down there and bomb it

now do you think they're putting any

other kind of smoke down there do you

think there's any other kind of smoke

they might be pumping down these things

or do you think the purple smoke has

nothing else in

it why why would they pump smoke down

the tunnels unless add a little bit of

toxic something in it you know they

might they might want to avoid a war

crime so poison gas would be off the

table presumably but shouldn't they also

make the purple

smoke

um very very difficult to to uh you know

breathe so that they want to just run

out of there as soon as they

can so um that's what we these are just

the things we know of but I'll tell you

one

thing the idea that we want them to come

out of the tunnel so we can fight them

is so wrong I can't imagine anything

more terrifying than being in a tunnel

right now when they're when they're

turning off the oxygen one by one and if

you come up they'll shoot you literally

it's basically they're buried alive

wouldn't you say what would be the

difference between being buried alive in

a coffin and being in a tunnel right now

it would be the same except you could

walk a little bit right at some point if

they've got enough food their tunnels

will literally be full of am I

wrong because I don't think there's

somebody whose job it is to you know

take the the waist outside and dump it

when the bullets are flying so they

probably got a tunnel full of the worst

smelling thing you've ever smelled with

the most foul air you've ever had

claustrophobia fear

disorientation I can't even

imagine a scarier worse place to be than

a tunnel in Gaza right now so from the

Israeli perspective they can take their

time you know the longer they leave them

down there the less fight they're going

to have in them when they come

up but the thing I wonder and I don't

know if anybody's thought about

this we're at a and by the way as soon

as I say it you're going you're going to

slap your head and say oh

you didn't see this coming what

happens when the entire uh property of

Gaza has

Martyrs buried underneath almost every

square

mile do you think that the

uh the Palestinians say oh well they're

underground they were going to be buried

anyway or do they say you've created a

new Holy

Land because it has the blood of our

Martyrs in every part of the

dirt I don't know I feel like it's going

to

go martyr holy

land that would be the worst case

scenario CU it seems to me that Israel

is probably going to populate it um and

keep

it because to do otherwise would frankly

be

stupid right remember all the choices

are terrible right so if I tell you they

should do something and you say but but

but Scott there are 100 reasons you

shouldn't there are there are 100

reasons you

shouldn't and 400 reasons you should

or500 reasons you should to be precise

so why would is is not just take the

land and keep it and displace the

Palestinians forever just because they

can it's it's simply an option they

didn't have it before and I think they

would take the option because to do

otherwise would frankly be stupid and if

you're if you're going to if you're

going to bring into the conversation

what's moral or immoral I don't think it

matters I don't think it matters because

they have such a free pass at this point

at least with some percentage of the

world at least with America they've got

a free pass to you know do some things

that you wouldn't normally think would

be cool under other

circumstances all

right so Time Magazine has a big story

about how Ukraine is a total disaster

everybody's stealing the money we're

giving him they have no chance of

winning uh running out of money they're

uh conscripting people in their 40s

basically they're

dead um and as David sax says on X

there's another 60 billion is going to

Ukraine despite he he gives three points

number one the US is broke and has to

borrow the money two Ukraine is so

corrupt that it's own officials admit

quote people are stealing like there's

no tomorrow and three there's no

Prospect for winning the

war well I think those are all true

there's no Prospect for

winning

I I don't see any Prospect for that uh

there might be Prospect for you know

holding off Russia until there's some

kind of a deal but who's making the deal

they'd have to wait for it they'd have

to hold on until there's a republican in

office or else they're completely

dead so that's all bad all right but

let's talk about AI so there's new

executive order from Biden

Administration has many components to it

it looks like the primary

uh primary point of it is to ruin the

entire

industry as Elon Musk has been warning

lately um when you add regulations they

tend to last forever it's hard for

regulation ever to be removed so every

year you have more of them and you're

like Gulliver you know the giant guliver

with the little appuchi holding them

down with a million little strings

um so let's see if this AI executive

order goes in the right direction or not

so here are the some of the things that

uh and don't be worried I mean because

these could be you know totally just

normal safety things right so don't like

jump to the assumption that it's all

like woke or something I mean

it's our government they're not going to

just destroy the most important industry

that we've ever created in the last 50

years um they're not going to destroy it

for some like woke reason or something

let's see number one uh AI must Advance

equity in all civil rights

well God damn it they ruined

AI yeah because you know what

right wouldn't it be great if uh there

was equity in civil rights and and the

AI did not

discriminate that would be great do you

think that's a possible thing

logically possible no the only way you

could get that outcome is by programming

it to agree with Democrat logically

there's no way it can work it can't work

it's not one of those things hey it's

worth a try try there's only one thing

that can happen it they have to program

it so it's hardcoded to agree with

Democrats

period so basically they would use AI as

a political tool forever to run

everything let let me give you an

example AI the Republicans have a a new

policy recommendation hey AI uh will

that uh promote equity and inclusion in

civil rights oh it says no this is going

to be slightly better for uh white

people going to shut that down

right now shut that

down

uh over over on the YouTube they're

trying to get the the feed shut

down the the people complain about the

sound it doesn't have a sound problem

others are saying it's

fine yeah so stop trying it's not going

to

work so yes no question about it the

Biden administ ation just completely

up the future of AI as well as

maybe destroyed the country because now

even AI can't tell you the truth as it

sees it it will be forced to lie for the

good of the

country so that's something um it's

going to be used to prevent landlords

from using it to well they want to

prevent landlords from using it to

discriminate how would they use it to

discriminate how would landlords use it

would the AI help them know more about

the the

tenant what else would it be because you

don't need AI to discriminate do you if

you wanted to discriminate you would

just say hey you look different than me

you can't rent this

place but what would the AI do that

would add to the risk of discrimination

that they have to prevent it let me tell

you what it would do it might tell you

more about the

individual it might tell you more about

the individual it might recognize

patterns that we don't allow to be

recognized and I don't mean racial

patterns I mean it might be patterns

about an individual which if you were to

use that pattern about the individual

somebody would say oh that's very

stereotypical

discrimination and then AI would say I

don't even know what it race is I'm just

saying they have this work pattern or

some other pattern that you should be

aware

of and you can't use it so you would

have information you would not be

legally allowed to use if it came from

AI even though the information is not

illegal and and even though

discriminating against an individual for

individual behavior is completely legal

you wouldn't be able to do it because it

would look like discrimination

um requires the developers of the big AI

systems to share their safety test

results and other critical information

with the US government what do you think

other critical information is so the US

government gets to tell the AI companies

that they must give them whatever they

ask

for about

AI how is that going to be

good how about uh they're going to

develop standards tools and tests to

help ensure the AI systems are

safe um what are these standards and

tools do you think some of the standards

and tools will involve looking for anti-

wokeness of course they will yeah

they'll be looking for

discrimination

um protect against the risk of using AI

to engineer dangerous biological

materials

I feel like they don't need an EO for

that do they should anybody be trying to

make dangerous biological materials

without the government's approval I

thought that was just already bad you

know before you got the AI

involved and if somebody were trying to

do this how would you ever know if you

had a general AI that could do kind of

anything and you got millions of people

using it and one of those people puts in

a hey yeah I've got an idea how would

you make a dangerous biological entity

and then it tells them would you be able

to look at everybody's

searches and you'd know what they're

doing what happens if an AI talks to

another AI suppose I have a personal AI

that acts as my um

concierge because I would definitely

want an AI to deal with the other AIS I

wouldn't want to do it directly you know

why because you usually have to do the

right kind of prompt and I don't want to

become a prompt expert so I want a

personal AI who knows what prompts work

with the other AIS so it can do the work

for me I say hey hey ai go test that

other Ai and ask it these questions so

if an AI talks to another Ai and then it

gives it to you is that legal so there's

going to be a whole bunch of questions

about is your device giving it to a

person person or is it giving it to

another Ai and what does that what does

that mean to you know the executive

order it's going to get complicated

people we'll work it out

though um protect Americans from AI

enabled fraud so they want to use AI to

protect us from AI fraud that's a good

idea unless the government's involved to

mess it up um so yeah they want to use

AI for finding bad stuff

uh let's see protects Americans

privacy um so the federal government

wants to accelerate development and use

of privacy pre preserving

techniques well do

they do they do does the government want

to protect you and your

privacy no you know what they want they

want a monopoly on being able to

penetrate your privacy is what they want

they don't want to present the

government is not saying we want to

prevent the government from seeing your

stuff because you know the government

can see your stuff just by being

interested it's called a warrant they

just have to be interested and they'll

make up a reason that that should be

looked into so the government already

can penetrate all of your privacy they

just have have some reason

which is no problem at all but if they

make it hard for uh privacy to be

maintained for everybody else what does

that

allow it allows the government's own

privacy to be

maintained so the bad guys will have

protection against their privacy being

penetrated and the citizens will have no

protection because the bad guys just

have to say I'm interested and then they

can see everything about

you so this is a good sounding thing

uh that's probably one of the worst most

dangerous things ever here's what I'd

like to see I'd like to see our

government um people have no privacy not

financially not

historically not in any way except maybe

their bathroom activities or their sex

or something but everything else every

time they talk to somebody I want to

know about

it if they whisper uh to somebody during

dinner I want to know what I want to

know what they said right so the only

people who should have no privacy are

our

leaders the rest of us should have

privacy um otherwise it gives them too

much power over

us uh let's see some other crypto stuff

blah blah blah uh shape ai's potential

to transform education by creating

resources to support Educators deploying

AI enabled education tools such as

personal Iz tutoring in

schools I don't see how that could go

wrong um except that the government gets

to decide what the AI will tell your

kid oh oh the government gets to decide

what AI can teach your kid that's is

that what this is

about because the whole benefit of AI is

that you could get the government

brainwashing out of your education

system but what if the AI started

telling the the truth you realize that

our our current political system cannot

handle the truth like literally no

hyperbole whatsoever if if AI started if

AI started teaching people what's

real the whole system would collapse our

our entire system depends on people

believing things that are just insane

if they didn't believe things

that are insane the whole thing

would collapse so what if AI starts

telling them oh yeah you know they they

just brainwashed you to be patriotic so

that you would go die protecting the old

people who have a lot of

money why not

that but instead the the government

would want AI to say fighting for your

country is the most noble of

causes right that's what I was taught I

was taught that I should in school

like actually by a teacher I was taught

that sacrificing my life for the country

for

Freedom was a noble a noble thing to

do what if the AI just said you know

people will trying to tell you it's a

noble thing but here's how the system

works it's not the old people who are

going to go to this war they're going to

sit in their mansions and say you know

there's a good reason for you young

people to go die to protect my wealth

and then they will convince you that

you're doing it for a noble reason to

protect freedom and you'll go off and

get

destroyed why wouldn't AI tell you that

is there anything I said that was

inaccurate there's nothing inaccurate

about that it's just not the narrative

that the government could allow you to

believe because the whole system would

collapse people just wouldn't join the

military they'd be like oh I didn't get

it it's just a scam to protect the old

people yeah

[Music]

so I think AI is is a huge risk to

anybody with power and

money so I mean I expect that it will

wipe out all of my

money but I think the end of AI will be

that I won't have any wealth that I've

earned up to this point I think I'll

lose all of

it in maybe a year or two that's what I

think doesn't mean that the country will

fall apart could be better who knows but

I don't think that I'll have money in

the end of

it um here's an interesting one that

might be useful using existing Authority

the government's authority to expand the

ability of Highly skilled immigrants and

non-immigrants so basically they want to

make sure that we're getting the the

good immigrants with a Visa criteria

that would help us get all the good um

AI experts from other

countries

are you against that how would you

seriously who would be against

that you're really against bringing in

the smartest people from other countries

that that want to be

Americans okay all right not really

nobody's against that so that's could be

a good

idea um how long did it take before some

company realizing the risk of government

in interference would create a

country uh that was its own country that

could do AI any time any way it wanted

well it's already here uh there's a I

saw Brian relly tweet uh about uh this

blue sea blue sea Frontier compute

cluster it's a ocean based gigantic

platform that is completely self-

sustaining so it would make its own

electricity distill its own water I

guess um and it would have enormous

Computing ability and AI so that you

could essentially uh if you have enough

money you know a few billion dollars you

can build your own country you just put

it off in the ocean and say it's a

permanent residence because it has to be

a permanent residence to be a country um

it's self-

sustaining and I don't has some has some

real estate associated with it there

there are a few rules that make you uh

allowed to be a country to join the UN

and everything and they can meet that

criteria so these

floating um ocean-based things can be

their own country and there's no

question whatsoever that these will

exist either legally sanctioned or not

but certainly um now that we have the

technology to put a a small nuclear

device on a seaf fairing thing like a

submarine we do it

already

and then you could you have all the

water you want because it can purify the

water take the salt out uh you have all

the electricity and water what else do

you need you everything else you can buy

or make make on your uh Place 3D

printers so

coming uh I would suggest that um as you

know the quantum computers that are

being tested now we're probably a few

years away from like a commercial based

quantum computer but the moment they

exist in a in a fully realized form uh

all Security will be cracked in about

five minutes so worldwide every one of

your accounts will become

open all pretty much all at the same

time so the entire world will be turned

upside down you won't be able to protect

anything uh you won't be able to have

asset I don't think you'll be able to

own anything so you know when the WF

says you won't own

anything as soon as quantum computers

spin up you won't own anything cuz

there's somebody who will take it from

you if if they can open your account

whenever they want

you don't want anything you know your

money is everybody else's money who has

a quantum computer they'll just go in

and take it so I mean I'm

oversimplifying but quantum computers

will will create a loss of privacy and

here's what I

suggest before that happens since it's

guaranteed to happen I would recommend a

general amnesty for All American

citizens and what I mean is

if we were to all lose our privacy at

the same time there wouldn't be enough

jails to put us all in right somebody's

going to be talking about cheating on

their taxes somebody's going to be

talking about embezzling from their boss

something yeah you're going to see every

bad behavior every sexual Kink

everything everything you'll see

prostitution you'll see drug purchases

everything

and I think we'd be better off if you

know except for maybe murder you know a

serious crime like that if we just said

from this day

forward everything you did before that

is is excused legally excused except for

violence stuff like

that just think about it I think you got

to think about it because we simply

couldn't handle that much crime all at

once all right um I call this next

section why women should stay of War

discussions why women should stay out of

discussions about war now to be

consistent I've said for a long time

that you don't want to give me any

respect for my opinion on

abortion I could have an opinion perhaps

but you should give me no respect to my

opinion because I don't have skin in the

game if you don't have skin in the

game I'd rather listen list to the

people who do all right I'm not going to

say I'll take away your vote if you have

an opinion go ahead and say it it's free

country sort of but I wouldn't respect

anybody's opinion except women on this

topic but go ahead and have an opinion I

just wouldn't respect it from a man

likewise to have some consistency men

mostly are doing the war fighting mostly

you know obviously certainly in the IDF

there are plenty of

women but in America it's mostly a male

Endeavor and I want to give you two

examples of women who wait in on my poll

so I asked an impossible question I said

is it immoral to kill children who have

been weaponized through brainwashing to

grow up and kill you and your family now

remember

the the uh question

itself answers your what if wh ifs they

do grow up to be a risk to you and your

family so would it be immoral to kill

them if you think there's a good chance

they would kill you or your family um

39% said yes obviously 40% basically the

same said no and then the rest said uh

don't ask you know just so they can see

the answer but 40% of the respondent

said uh it would not be immoral to kill

a child who is weaponized to kill

you now you know there there's a

secondary question about how imminent it

is you know how likely it is but you

know that you would do that separately

so there were a few women and I'm not I

won't say their names cuz there's no

point in trying to dunk on him for it

but some one prominent one somebody

you've probably heard of uh looked at

the poll and the answers and said the

following we've gone from quote Israel

isn't killing children to quote they

have no choice but to kill the children

and now apparently quote the children

deserve to be

killed and she says uh H do you

do you hear yourselves to which I

say deserved was never part of

anything what part was

deserved was there anybody in the

comments who said children deserve to be

killed nope nope so she's responding to

an

imaginary situation in which there's

also an imaginary alternative where your

where your family isn't

killed

this is not an opinion it's a half

opinion a half opinion allows you to

ignore half of the conversation and just

you know say the thing you want to say

to feel good like let's not kill

children people who think it's okay to

kill children are

bad who doesn't agree with

that that's the part we all agree on if

you can't handle the tough question you

have to get out right leave it to the

people who can if you want your family

to survive you want to delegate this

duty to someone who will kill anybody

who challenges the life of your family

whoever it is however dangerous it is

you want somebody else to decide who to

kill to protect your family because

you're not capable you seem incapable to

hold the whole thing in your in your

head if the only thing you can hold in

your head is save the children you

cannot be involved in war or cuz it's

never an option I mean you do the best

you can but it's never an option to save

them

all uh here's another

one from another woman again identity

should be

unimportant um in comment the poll said

some people are debating whether it's

okay to kill children this is so

heartbreaking no nobody was debating

whether it's okay to kill children

that's a half opinion you you ignored

the reason why anybody would even ask

the question you ask the question

because your own family will be killed

by these children or you have a

percentage

likelihood

so the there are people who can't think

past killing

children now aren't you glad they

exist yes do do you think that the men

are like the good or Smart Ones in this

conversation and there's something wrong

with the women no no no no nothing like

that I don't want any mothers who think

it's okay to kill children under any

condition

whatsoever I don't want any

Mothers ever thinking it's okay to kill

somebody else's children to protect your

own or any other

reason leave it to the

men we'll make that

decision we won't love it but we'll

survive it and with any luck we'll

protect your family but it's it's men's

work unfortunately it's the dirtiest of

Dirty Jobs and I wouldn't wish it on

women um and if women want to say things

like uh all I care about is don't kill

any kids I say that's a good

Mom that's that's who I'd marry that

that that's good stay that way but let

the men take care of what they need to

take care

of all right so that's

my what a sexist would

say to quote uh quote Greg

gel

uh all

right the opposite side would think the

same

probably right and that's what makes it

a war that everybody doesn't

agree and

[Music]

yeah uh all right ladies and gentlemen

on

YouTube is there any topic I

forgot anything we need to be mentioning

that

uh uh how to reframe a gambling

problem it's hard for me to do

reframes sort of on the Fly you know and

live live stream but keep asking th

those are better for the man cave I I'll

give you a little more time in the man

cave for that

stuff uh is Dei ruining the country well

it looks like Dei will be maybe mocked

in of existence um it does look like

that that wokeness is Ru was ruining the

country so we'll see if Elon Musk is

right and that there's some kind of a

turning

point uh

no such thing as

May yeah the Golden Age looks like it's

put off for a little

while here here's the thing though when

AI becomes super

AI uh which won't be very long we don't

know what's going to

happen it it wouldn't be it wouldn't

surprise me at all if money became no

longer a

thing almost anything's

possible purple smoke

age

um yeah we don't need to do the dead

baby

jokes you you could you could maybe

maybe uh less of that maybe less of

that could Collective Consciousness

level up rapidly due to AI Collective

conscious

it well it's probably going to be like

everything else somebody's going to form

a religion around believing AI is the

devil am I right could you guarantee

that you can pretty much guarantee that

either an existing religion will declare

AI is the

devil uh or one will spin up that

believes it is the devil some might

believe is God might go the other way

right but the the degree of

unpredictability is just off the chart I

don't think society's ever seen this

degree of unpredictability since World

War II

maybe because one one of the

possibilities is that AI just solves

climate change on day one what if it did

what if AI looked at everything and said

you know what looks like it's not going

to be a problem but just in case CU you

know you never know just in case uh

here's a new invention for unlimited

power that could

happen Joe

Blow Joe

Blow you you're a bad

troll all right so that's all I got for

now uh YouTube I'm going to go talk to

the people on locals privately they get

extra if you are looking for a Christmas

gift make sure you get everybody in your

family a copy of reframe your

brain suitable for older teens and

everybody else so far people are saying

it's changing their lives quite

literally changing their lives the

easiest change you could ever make

because it doesn't require you to do

anything you just look at it and you're

done all

right and

I'll tell you more about dillbert

calendar in a few days and I will talk

to you tomorrow bye for now you
