ing things to try to correct a worse racism with something that's also racist that's like the small r trying to defeat the big R. I'm okay with that. I'm okay with a little racism as an antidote to a lot of racism because don't you end up with less racism? If you could spend some money to make some money and make more than you spent wouldn't you do that? So being accused of racism is just part of…
← Previous segment →herwise why do it? What do you think? Nine percent said it made it better. Fifty percent said it made it worse. Forty said no change. Well I think most of the world didn't notice because most of the world doesn't even read the news. They don't even know any of this happened. Too early to tell. It's hard for me to imagine it made it better. I don't know. Maybe because it made this conversation possible and made it better. I'll give you that.
All right let's see if I missed anything. Nope.
All right you may have noticed that my social media numbers are way up. My Twitter numbers and my live stream numbers are through the roof lately and I think it's because this is a topic people are interested in it looks like. And I think people are interested in two reasons. One is they want to see if I can survive this. It's sort of watching it like a movie to see if I can get off prisoner island. Does it feel like I'm on prisoner island right now? It's a little metaphor I use that I always have this belief about myself and I recommend this to the rest of you. It's good to have a story of yourself if nobody's told you that. It's one of the best self-help things you can ever have. Have a story of yourself. My story I talk about this a lot. It's called prisoner island. And in my story I'm dropped on an island let's say I'm falsely accused of a crime that makes my story better. Falsely accused of a crime and they drop me on an island of only prisoners. On day one they beat me to near death. Day two they beat me and raped me. Day three same as one and two and repeat. But if you come back in a year everybody who touched me will be dead and I will be the king of prisoner island. That's my story. That no matter how bad it gets I'm going to be on top. It might take a while. It might not be instant but it's going to happen.
Now because I run that story in my mind when I run into problems as everybody does I say to myself I just got dropped on prisoner island. First week not so good but wait. Just wait. So a lot of you wanted to see the movie where I was dropped on prisoner island. Here I am. Prisoner island. And do you think I'll make it off? How many of you think that I can beat the odds and make it off of prisoner island? Now the cancellation will be complete but making it off prisoner island all it means coming out better than he left. Well we'll see.
The one thing you can be sure of is that the negative feelings about me will remain forever because people don't look into context. Context is not a big thing on the internet. So forever I will have this over me but I don't really care about the political gooners, race drifters, victims of fake news and my political enemies. And I'm impervious to embarrassment. Did you ever wonder yourself Scott were you marinating in the shame and embarrassment of this situation? Not even for a second honestly. It never occurred to me. It never actually occurred to me that embarrassment or shame or anything would be part of this. Like why? I said what I meant. I think it's useful. I knew what the price was and then I paid it. I have a very simple model of the world.
It was news in Brazil. Well I'm doing a good job then. Doing a good job.
All right so here's you got fired. I did. I paid the price. I paid the price so that you might be free of sin now.
You may have noticed that I timed my resurrection for roughly to happen around Easter. So anybody notice that? Norm says oh no Scott I am owning it. Does that make sense? Somebody's asking me to own it. How much harder could I own it? That's my po

int Norm. My point is that I'm owning it totally. Are you missing that point? Did some of this look like an apology or something? I'm totally owning it. I'm owning what I said. I can't own whatever impression somebody else put in your head. I don't have any ownership of your own mental faculties. I can't control that but I can own what I did totally. I totally own it.
