is so much better. So I think those two things make Bitcoin not normal investment. I'm probably not eloquent enough to delve in and give the correct answer but those two questions there are definitely very good answers as to why there are reasons that these they're not as much of a fundamental risk.

Well okay without hearing the argument it's hard to debate it but I'll just say this. I'm not going to believe anybody who says government is predictable or technology is predictable. Yeah there's nothing you could tell me that would change my mind on that. But anyway so thanks for the question and I'm going to move on. Appreciate it. Nice to meet you. Thank you.

All right thank you. Let's do another one here. The fool would like to come on. This sounds dangerous. All right fool calls himself a fool. It looks like we got a technology problem on that one. Oh unmute your microphone fool and ask me your question. Hey Scott you hear me? Yes. Again what's your question on fentanyl right? Yes this year correct. So I think in prior YouTubes or podcasts or spaces or whatever you said you haven't like used your entire I would say persuasive ability. Is that still a thing on fentanyl?

Well the entire Republican primary group wants to militarily attack the cartels so I think maybe I'm doing okay. Is, are you doing it on purpose? Are you using your force? All right. Yes yes. Okay okay. Let's say I'm a state voter on the transitioning of children okay which I view as like an objective evil okay. Following I would say I was going to see if you want to join teams vice versa basically no. If you wanted to switch over to the transitioning of children no I'm going with the numbers. I don't know how many kids transition. I would agree with you on kids maybe waiting until they're adults so no argument on the issue but you can't make your single issue two issues and also if you want to join your team no I know. I'm saying I don't want to go from the big team to the small team. How many people do you, how many kids I think it's a bigger issue. How many kids do you think transition per year? Oh but give me one that's one too many. Is it more than the 70,000 dying from fentanyl every year? My guess is probably.

Objective evil where I see the transitioning of children and as an objective evil maybe okay they're trying to make money from. Well I don't believe in objective evil. I believe in saving as many people and keeping our lives good and keeping us safe and happy and stuff. So objective evil is a sort of a frame. It's more of a point of view but that's my persuasion point. Yeah but it doesn't work on me so I don't believe in evil and free will and stuff like that but thanks.

All right thanks for the question. All right thanks. Yeah I don't believe in evil. And I guess the reason I don't believe it is that it doesn't have a use. There's no usefulness for that frame. There are things that you want to stop and there are things you want more of. That's the end of it. There's stuff you want more of. There's stuff you want less of. You don't need to give any extra words on it. There's stuff you know people doing bad things. People do bad things sure.

All right let's take another one. Chris. Chris as soon as your microphone shows up here. Hey Chris. On you unmute your microphone and ask me your question. Hey Scott. Hi Chris. The last question at I have a five-year-old and a seven year old. What's your typical in the future of education and like colleges in the future? Do you think we'll exist still a few big ones? The future colleges.

Well I feel like it's going to change. I mean everybody can say the obvious it's just not going to look the same in 10 years. The teachers union still has a solid grip so I think it comes down to money. If there's enough money to build alternative school choice then it's going to happen like crazy because I think almost everybody wants the school choice at this point if they're really paying attention. So if money becomes available it's going to happen like crazy.

And oh yeah I feel like there's going to be more of a learning specific skills and putting together a skill stack than universities. I think that the cost and the benefit of the college education is largely debunked at this point in the sense that if you could afford, let's say your parents could afford to pay for your college totally, it would be a nice four years of meeting people and maybe getting a little more mature and learning some skills would be useful. But I feel like there's going to be tons of people who don't want to spend that money, don't have the extra money to spend and can just directly learn the things they need for a practical successful life.

So I think the AI is going to be the teacher for more and more people until it's the only teacher. You know I've often said that the problem with remote learning is that all they did is put a camera in front of a regular teacher. That's like the dumbest thing. Yeah exactly you're not getting it back right. You should start from scratch and say what does this new technology do that the old one won't. And one thing it does is you could put together a team of teachers for one course. So you can say hey I've got a graphics expert who's going to really make this come alive visually. I've got somebody who's really good at engaging a crowd. Somebody's just good at talking in front of people and people want to watch that person. Maybe they're good looking too. And then somebody to write the plan so it's compatible with what your future needs are and it's just the right lessons. But you would put a team together including maybe a director and a producer. You know almost a Hollywood model. And then you compete with the other little clips of AI is teaching other things and you just let the market decide which is the right one.

So my general take is that online learning or computer learning is worse than 80 percent of in-person learning but the very best which has not been created yet, the very best online AI teacher will be 10 times better than the best human experience. But we're not there yet. So I think universities will, maybe the exception of the norm of academic instructor, I think the university is just going to become rich people clubs. You know just maybe a place to get some networking going but not necessarily proving that you can code better. Yeah I would still be around as a social club basically that says you're in the club now.

They, Harvard's on the way to destroying their biggest asset because if they're enrolling people who are not coming from wealthy families which they're trying to do at a bigger, that's a great good in many ways. Lots of positive but you're going to be networking with somebody who had a single mom and grew up in a poor city. So you have access to network with the one person, the other your classmate who might be awesome might become a billionaire but you lose the access to that one person's family which could have also been very connected as well. So Harvard's networking value should be dropping precipitously.

All right thanks. All right how are we doing? Are people enjoying this? Do you want more of this? All right a little more of this.

All right let's see Adam's a good name. So Adam you're going to be connected here and unmute your speaker and ask your question on your microphone. Adam I can't hear you. Adam might have a microphone problem. All right so that didn't work. Let's try Patrick. You look interesting. Unmute your microphone Patrick. Hey here I am. Hey what's your question Patrick?

I have a question before someone is to say I saw Greg Gutfeld on here and I wanted to encourage everybody to read his book The Plus. It's basically you can be a plus or minus in the world with every decision you make and it's a really really great book. My question is I remember listening to your podcast way back when in early 2020 and you were talking about how the media had taken this stance against hydroxychloroquine and what kind of a risk they were doing if it worked. And now that everything's turned out the way it is you know I feel like them suppressing hydroxychloroquine at the time that they did basically destroyed the world. And so as I think the accountability should be first for that.

So Patrick in your reality, yeah it seems we're all in our own little realities and your reality has hydroxychloroquine been shown to be effective and safe for COVID? I used the Zelenko protocol when I got COVID. In no no anecdotes no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no. I'm not going to listen to an anecdote. I'm not going to hear about one patient. You have to answer the question. Do you think that science has proven that hydroxychloroquine worked? No anecdotes. That it's a crime against humanity that they are still denying it but your opinion is based entirely upon your certainty that it does work. That's true.

Okay yeah I mean I wish I could join you. I do have appreciation for what RFK Jr. and others say that it almost looks like the tests were designed to fail. Absolutely they were. Yeah yeah. But I suspect that if I were to talk to the people who put those tests together they would change my mind. You know I haven't done that but the problem is every time you hear one side of anything it sounds convincing right? Yeah so when somebody says I looked at that study and the amounts are too high and was obviously designed to fail and it was not matched with zinc and all these things and they sound true or given to people late. I remember giving late. Right right yeah. So I remember. Okay all of those things they sound like reasonably good points but I haven't heard the counterpoint. I haven't heard the people who ran the test say yes I know why you're asking the questions but there's actually a good reason for it. Here's why we did it. Maybe it would be convincing. I don't know. So for me it's a big I don't know. Yeah but I wouldn't rule it out. I wouldn't rule it out. I think that it being an ionophore for zinc and zinc stops the replication of the virus. The better question was how did it not work? And one thing another thing I heard you say that I wish people pursued on is that is there anybody who used it correctly early and died anyway? And you would think that there were those. Those would have been advertised all over the place. I thought it was I thought I did hear some of those but I may have been wrong. There were so many anecdotal reports that they'll run together in my mind. But one of the things I was watching was to see if there was any location that completely solved their problem with hydroxychloroquine. You know I thought there'd be some city in South America or something whether it be somebody who just went hog wild and just eliminated their problems. So I expected to see that. Now Africa sometimes used as an example but what percentage of Africans do you think are actually taking hydroxychloroquine? It's not a big percentage. It's just they used a lot there but not as a percentage of the people. No I know it's a lot as a quantity but not as a percentage right. So anyway okay. But thanks for the question Patrick. Sure.

All right how about let's listen to Dr. Hank. We got a doctor in here. He said what kind of doctor? Ob-gyn. All right Dr. Hank as soon as you connect turn off your microphone and ask your question. Dr. Hank are you there? Oh sorry I utterly just putting pretty space. Thank you. All right I just came in so I don't know what the conversation has been. I just got in. You know I'm a physician who four years ago was a certain kind of physician and COVID has totally in my opinion ripped my blinders off. And the topics could take all day to go through but one perfect example you just mentioned the hydroxychloroquine. When COVID started I'm what's called a locum tenens doctor so I travel all around the country. And when COVID started I was, well hold on hold on hold on. You're a traveling gynecologist? Yes okay it's called locum tenens. It's basically you know you do assignments to fill in spots all around the country. Yeah I've been doing it full time for eight years. My wife and dogs and I just are full-time gypsies now. I've been doing that too but apparently I need some kind of certification. You're telling me? No I'm just kidding just kidding just kidding. All right go ahead go ahead with your question.

Well anyways again I'm kind of forcing the topic. I don't know really what you want to talk about. Whatever you want whatever you want go ahead. Okay whatever. Since you brought up hydroxy. So when I during COVID I've worked in six different hospitals in four different states. I started in Washington outside of Seattle and if you remember the nursing home Kirkland nursing home north of Seattle was kind of the initial hot spot in the U.S. And I was in this little hospital across the Puget Sound and we were having meetings about putting up tents in the parking lot with patient beds and cots because we believed the initial rhetoric that this was going to be a massive undertaking that there were going to be corpses in the street and that Seattle would fill up immediately so we wouldn't be able to fly patients to Seattle which is their normal custom there.

And I had also done missionary work in Africa and had been taking hydroxy for years for malarial prophylaxis so I was very familiar with it and I was heavy on, I've been on heavy on Twitter for about the last eight or nine years and I was immediately connected with intensivists in Seattle and in New York City and right away those guys were talking about Fauci's own paper in 2015 talking about hydroxy is a great prophylaxis for SARS one. And a couple biochemists came on and physi microbiologists started talking about the mechanism which the other guy mentioned it being an ionophore and zinc has etc. And then I very quickly learned about vitamin D3. To make a long story short I got on that stuff right away. You know I was very attentive to it and the day that the music died so to speak if you follow my Don McLean reference was when Trump mentioned it and immediately it was basically turned into a pariah. I mean I had just built a prescription at a local pharmacy a couple days before and I called them after that statement and they're like we're no longer doing it. And you know I'm an old fart I'm 63 and so I've been practicing since the mid 90s and that's never happened in American medicine before where pharmacists or politicians tell doctors what they can or can't do with an approved medication. So yeah things just got worse you know.

Did you have a question for me? Into these studies there are tons of studies. No I'm not no I'm not sincere about that at all. So you're here's the problem I don't believe any studies. Well it yeah and you know that's a true statement to a large degree. I mean that is part of the problem. I mean one of the things that I was not aware of before which is kind of a fundamental thing that I'm presuming as an informed person you're aware of and that is how much of the regulatory agencies are actually paid for by the regulated. Oh yeah I mean oh I'm quite aware of that yes. Yeah no that starts that starts always starts the discussion for people with me is that if you start with that financial component that has to create a you know exactly what we saw glasses to look through. Right yeah exactly what we saw. Yeah so thanks thanks for the comments doctor. Okay I'm gonna make some comments after but thanks for joining. Yep yeah I would say you know the one thing you could say about the whole COVID situation is that follow the money worked again right. Follow the money explained to 100 percent of what you saw. Every bit of it. There wasn't one thing that wasn't explained by follow the money. So there we are.

All right let's try Neely. Co-founder and CEO of Distill. Professor okay you look, an econ nerds so you look interesting. All right Neely as soon as you connect unmute your microphone. There you go. Hi Neely do you have a question or personal? Okay thank you. You said anything. Yeah anything's good. Okay. When you draw do you listen to music and if you do what are you listening to?

The answer is no I don't listen to music when I draw. I've already done the thinking so the writing has already happened so I can't listen to anything when I'm writing. I have to be quiet when I draw. I do like noise. The ideal noise would be people. So if I'm sitting in Starbucks I want to hear people sound or there's somebody in the house just even if they're just working or something just somebody around. And then I do like to watch a show or the news or a YouTube or something. So I do like to have some kind of entertainment on. Was there a deeper part of that question? Curious.

I was like you I've always been a fan of obviously of your work as like millions and zillions of people are and I love listening and learning about how people do their craft for the people who do excellence. And I just thought here's an opportunity to ask you. I will also say thank you. You retweeted one of my tweets on the economy once and it was the most bonkers day I've ever had in Twitter with the notifications. So also thank you. Thanks for answering my question.

All right you're welcome. Thanks for the question. All right that was an easy one. I like talking about myself. I know I know all the answers when I'm talking about myself.

All right Paul. All right. Music arts. He's a mass formation disrespector and a confirmed propaganda confronter. All right I'm adding you as a speaker Paul. As soon as your microphone is on. Hey there you are. Hi Paul. Hi how you doing? Hi Scott thanks for taking the call. Yeah what's your question? Benjamin Owen. Benjamin. The name is familiar. I don't know where where are you going with this? I just I don't know if you're aware of him. I don't see you guys interact on Twitter. I didn't know if you were familiar with his work or not. But why why are you asking about him in particular? What's the connection? I'm a fan of both of your works just you know just being able to say the emperor has no clothes and say things that might be unpopular at the time but are true. Ah okay all right. I'm not trying to draw any conclusions from that. That's all I'm I just was curious. All right all right thanks for the question Paul.

All right let's hear from, I probably won't pick anybody who doesn't have a profile picture so I like this Brunella is a rebel likes wildflowers and cracking concrete. Perfect. Brunella turn off your mute and ask me a question. Hello no I haven't. Hi nice to meet you. I have a strong question from Europe from Berlin. Who is owning Blackrock and why how can be possible that the same riots fake looting revolution and all this type stuff that is happening in the United States is now in France and they're gonna bring it all over Europe and what's your idea about all this happening? Thank you.

Did you think that was caused by Blackrock? Was that the question? I didn't say that no. I just would like to know is Blackrock we know the Vanguard they own Blackrock and Blackrock own Vanguard. The problem is that there is really the hair going on in Europe and I'm sure that this is all over guys and at the moment I cannot tweet I don't know why but I can go in Spaces and they're not answering to me. Why we have a different contract of Twitter in Europe respect to other countries and I think they're trying to silence us very badly. So we're trying to fight to see really what's going on. So we use the space to have these answers and we all know that I don't know if you've never had a chance to see Monopoly the video it's really interesting. I showed up all behind these things. We zoning really everything is actually Blackrock's and now we are trying just to find out what the heck is happening guys because Blackrock is only North Russia so what's the game you know?

Well I'll take my best shot at that question. Thank you so much. I'd be surprised if Blackrock had anything to do with the riots per se. I don't see the connection there but it seems like the riots in Europe are just immigration related. There's no mystery there is there? And that's something that people should know and we try to share this message guys know about immigrant at all is really the full population that is upset. They arrest 3,000 people almost about what what is the issue? I thought the people who were actually burning things are the immigrants are they not? Well they're using immigrants as a tool you know because of course they don't want to show that the people are against what's they're taking all our rights away one by one very slowly and it starts of course with a pension and start with the yellow vest. They're taking the farmland away the you know what's happening with the energy guys. We don't have in Germany energy anymore so the companies are closing down. People start to fight for their rights but they want to play the game of giving the fall to the immigration. That's why they let so much people leave Africa and go all over Europe and create this kind of fake emergency with the immigrants. The truth is that they want to play this card to cheat to fake the fact that the people are making revolt from there to the militarization is already happening in France. In Paris there are more than 14,000 people and they are beating everyone.

Who's doing all these evil plans? Is that the government's working with Blackrock or do you think Blackrock is doing it on its own? Yeah the problem is that in Europe we don't have any more area leader. All our leaders Chuck Maloney check shows such check all the others they get they get elected by promising to go against this and as soon as they were elected they turned completely and they keep on following the same orders. So what do you think what do you think is behind it all? Well it will be easy to say you know very often we say of course because we know that we have a lot of people from U.S. you know we have military bases all over Europe so of course it's easy for us to say that there is a lot of infiltration also in every institution and so on. We know that it's happened and is real but the truth is that we see what's happening in America so we know that also there is happening the same. That means that there is a big power with a lot of money. This is pretty clear. If you watch if you had the chance I will invite the people to see Monopoly. It's now my brother nothing at all but I find some answer really important answer there about the fact that there is these two only two corporations that now own everything in the planet but but do you don't you think the corporations want capitalism and prosperity because that's what benefits them? From humanity seems that they even decide to start the population. My point of view it's real I don't know that. My take is that it's unrelated. They're either unrelated or barely related events. There's just a lot of stuff is happening. Some of it is just excess energy after the pandemic. I always assumed that there would be some release of energy that had been tamped down too long and it would sort of look like this. So I feel like there's a big upheaval that just had to happen but it's just coming out of a lot of different windows and doors and for different reasons. Just too much energy. I don't see that there's any large corporate entity whose well-being depends on a stable world with lots of people buying stuff. I can't see them wanting to cause instability. So capitalists almost always want stability over instability. So if somebody is creating instability that would only make sense for a specific industry such as defense which I do think happens. I do think the defense industry creates instability to sell weapons but outside of the defense industry I can't see Blackrock wanting instability. That would be outside of every economic understanding in the world. But thanks for the comments. Thank you.

All right how about one more? One more yeah for that. Let's get Kathleen. She's got a cat for a picture. Kathleen you were being selected because your profile picture is a cat. What's your question Kathleen? I'm good thanks. What's your question for me?

I have a question regarding your one as a statement and that you're such a pillar of light in this crazy world that we're in and you're really on to food being linked to a lot of the problems that we have in our world today. And my question is have you ever heard of the Weston A. Price Foundation? No. My next question will be will you ever check it out? I was thinking there might be some kind of follow-up to that. So the answer so far is no I'm not going to follow up because you've given me no reason to follow up. What is it? Why do I care about it? Well they do they tell you the truth about food and there was a dentist back in the 30s and he self-funded a study. His name was Weston A. Price that's the foundation name. He self-funded a study where he went into 14 different cultures that were remote from modern day living and found he was a dentist and his patients were experiencing all kinds of health problems whether it be cancer or bad dental problems and just a lot of health problems. And so he did some research and found over a 10-year period that there were common denominators not all the same but that they had traditional food preparation and fermentation and you know I think we're well beyond the point where we need to prove it. It seemed like a hundred percent of every study ever done shows that our current food source is bad for us and there's better ways to eat. So yeah I think I'm so sold on that point of view that extra selling isn't necessary in my case but that might be something that other people are interested in. So thanks for the call Kathleen. Hey thanks for taking my call. All right I appreciate it.

We're gonna do for today. I think we've done it all. Deep dive in this you'll be pleasantly surprised. Michael Schellenberger did a, is it on video that might be interested? I'm like a parent to you. How old are you? I'm old enough to be most of your parents.

All right I'm going to turn off Spaces. Thanks for joining. All right yo it's interesting how many, well I'm not going to go there. Did anybody have the feeling that the last thing you wanted to talk about is COVID? Like it just it just hurts at this point. It's just painful isn't it? Because there's nothing left to say. There's just nothing left to say. Tomorrow somebody's gonna say oh there's my new study that the shots killed you dead and then the day later it'll be another one that says the opposite and we don't we won't know anything.

So can you remind me the name Eric Dyson? What's his name the scientist? The era is it Eric why I have part of his name wrong right? He's a three Freeman wait what's his name? No Dyson Dyson. Neil deGrasse Tyson. All right thank you. So he was on yesterday and he was talking to Erica who's the podcaster you keep telling me to pay attention to. Medi or somebody what's the name of his Erica who do you keep telling Hassan you know the podcaster you sent to me. All right Maddie is on I think that's correct. So many Assad had a podcast with why can't I remember his name? There's something weird about his name that makes it impossible to remember for me anyway.

So here's what's interesting about that. I was listening to it yesterday as I was floating in my pool and the conversation was about the pandemic and the vaccinations and stuff. And I thought that whoever he is I'm going to say the scientist on the podcaster. Okay let me confess I don't know both of their names correctly and I'm not going to learn it here. So one of them is a scientist there's a podcaster. You know who I'm talking about but the scientist I thought gave the podcaster a good spanking on the benefits of the vaccination. This is not me speaking. This is not me. How many of you how many of you think I just gave you my opinion? Didn't happen. There were no opinions here. I'm saying that as a debate Tyson won hard and it was very interesting. I'll tell you I'll tell you where the holes were that he pushed through.

Number one is you know why would you take an experimental vaccination? And then Tyson would say experimental it was tested. And then the podcaster would say it wasn't tested. And then he would say it was tested it was definitely tested. And then the podcaster would say but you know how do you know if you tested it for nine months how do you know that in five years you're not going to get a problem? And then the scientist says well that's actually a risk yes but how do you know you wouldn't get a long COVID or how do you know that the virus itself wouldn't give you a problem in five years? So watching them fill in each other's holes of logic here was actually really interesting.

Now of course there's no conclusion. So when I say that the scientist won the argument I'm saying that he didn't say anything that's not logical and smart. So here let me give you his argument. So the podcaster says the vaccinations did not stop the transmission. Do you know what the answer to that is? The vaccinations did not stop the transmission which we all know to be true but do you know what the response is? How many of you know what the response to that is? Just even know what they say in response to they being the scientists. Do you kno
