bump up boom boom boom pop up on pom pom pom pom pom hey everybody said you've been around I know I'm coming to you at an unusual time but it's worth it oh it's so worth it come in here and we will enjoy the simultaneous cept you might like it in a cup in a mug you might like it in this diet at jealous a thermos but whatever it is fill it with your favorite favorite liquid and my choice is coffee and join me for the simultaneous m oh
that's good sipping so yesterday there was this big story about the president's schedule so without talking about the obvious question question which is how the hell does somebody get a copy of the president's schedule and then leak that I suppose getting into this easy part about leaking it is the outrageous part and yes I am reading your comments and

[1:12]

and yes I am reading your comments and then the big story was that 60% of it was unscheduled and therefore therefore maybe he's not working so hard but it didn't really land it did it in terms of a criticism of this President did did that even leave a dent because even that this latest tell-all book from whoever was the gofer I can't remember his name which is which is funny but you know the recent behind-the-scenes book about Trump in which Trump called the writer a gofer and barely knew him even that guy said the one thing you can't doubt is that this president was a workhorse you know he's working working hard so even critics are kind of willing to say he's a hard worker and all that unschedule time just means we don't know what he was doing that's different from unscheduled I mean the whole thing was ridiculous it

[2:14]

I mean the whole thing was ridiculous it sort of turned into have you noticed the entire presidency has turned into a Dilbert comic am I the only one noticing that all right let me give you giving you some examples of why this is a Dilbert comic normally when people are talking about a president's performance are they talking about stuff like what time he comes to work how he schedules his time and whether or not he's a good boss to his employees have you ever heard any of that about any other president for every other president you talk about the policies and you know international relations but with Trump it's totally become a Dilbert comic and if you look at the things that they're complaining about him now the complaints are every employee bitching about their CEO if you if you were to take the best CEO in the world and who knows who that

[3:16]

CEO in the world and who knows who that is you know maybe it's you know Jeff Bezos or Tim Cook or you know so whoever you think is the best CEO in the world and let's say let's say there's a general agreement that this person is an amazing amazing CEO don't you think I can find a lot of employees who think that who think that that employee is don't you think I can file a lot of employees who think that boss is not working hard enough making all the wrong decisions I made my fortune by noting that everybody thinks that about their boss so as long as they're turning politics into a Dilbert comic I'm not too worried about this president all right let's talk about the State of the Union because this is gonna be fun I've probably never looked forward to a State of the Union more than this one because there's just a lot going on now one of the things that's going on

[4:21]

the funniest thing that's going on is that both sides are trying to invite guests who simply by their existence tell the story now they'll tell a story about the guests as well but there's something about their situation or about them personally that does importance and sir president Trump has invited a kid it's a kid whose last name is Trump who's been getting bullied in school and yeah Joshua Trump and I'm thinking this is the funniest thing I've ever seen because somehow the president managed to invite somebody to the State of the Union that was as much about Trump as about the other person so somehow he made it about himself but in the funniest possible way so that's not a criticism it's just a funny observation everybody else's you know bringing

[5:23]

everybody else's you know bringing somebody who had a hard time for one reason or another and this poor little Joshua Trump probably is having a real hard time I'm sure that part is real but the fact that it's still about Trump it was just it's just so I don't know it just couldn't be more perfect adults on Twitter or bullying him that's terrific so the Democrats have got their own lineup of people who've had serious problems so here's the net of that wasn't the State of the Union where we used to talk about the good news am I wrong that the State of the Union used to be all about things that are working well right it used to be hey look at all these things that the countries do and then the country is doing great and now that the vibe of it

[6:25]

doing great and now that the vibe of it has changed all this bad news it's like the big bad news festival oh yeah well you brought some people who were having a hard time look at the people we brought they're really having a hard time so there's that element of it the other element of course is all the wall stuff but there's there's another thing shaping up here that I think is going to happen I think what the president is going to do is take this opening to try to bring the temperature down on race and racial divisiveness divisive this I can never never know which way that goes I think he's going to say this is the perfect time to talk about what he's doing for African Americans what he's doing for you know every ethnic group because he's had a full week of Democrats getting getting accused of terrible things and

[7:26]

getting accused of terrible things and the whole Virginia governor story could not be more perfect in terms of its timing so if he's smart he'll take the opportunity that Democrats are being are being accused of all the things that he's been accused of and he'll he'll take the high ground and and try to make something out of that and I think that's what's coming and that will be that will probably be the right play all right how many of you noticed that I correctly predicted the winner of the Super Bowl pretty impressive right well I am about a billion other people predicted the winner but I'm the only reason I mentioned it is that for years I've been predicting the winners of the Super Bowl based on their mascots fighting it out and in a surprisingly it is surprisingly predictive so I predicted that a patriot with a musket could kill a ram and sure enough muskets

[8:26]

could kill a ram and sure enough muskets win somebody says all right I think today CNN called the president racist repeat indefinitely it's sort of all they got now and it's just falling apart in front of their eyes if you haven't seen a tweet that I did this morning watch a tweet of Bill palta who is down and st. Louis or was down in st. Louis looking at the blight so see the actual footage I just I just tweeted that right before I got out here and you can see what urban America has turned into it's just you know house after house with nobody in it rundown and and those are the things that Bill's taking on with the city and you'll hear more about that a lot more about that coming up any updated on Middle East peace predictions well it feels like it's been

[9:29]

predictions well it feels like it's been quiet over there hasn't it been kind of quiet so maybe that's good news I still feel like there's something big brewing for the Middle East so maybe something this year Rand Paul is mad yeah Rand Paul seems to be the one who is leading the charge to get us ahead of these places and I have to admit the the arguments on both sides are fairly compelling because one side says there are all kinds of countries all over the world where we could put troops and it might help the population but is that our job to help every country that needs help and what do you hear that you say well that is good point we haven't helped Afghanistan and there are lots of other countries we could help why did we pick this one country and then the the opposite argument is

[10:29]

and then the the opposite argument is that there's something special about these Middle East countries and and that having a presence there is what helps us beat down terrorism they're both pretty strong arguments usually it will say that but in this case they're both pretty strong now the other thing the other thing that's happening of course is if the president doesn't make a big deal about health care he's missing he's missing a big chance the big thing that the Democrats have working against the president is this universal health care call you know medicare for all apparently it's pretty popular and so he's got to say they're doing something they have some kind of an answer to that some kind of Republican type of situation but this would be a good time to tell you that this this periscope is brought to you by my company's app interface by Wynn hub where we have added some doctors if you

[11:32]

where we have added some doctors if you if you open the app let me show you how easy it is the app is free if you open it up you can say find an expert click that you can just type in doctor doctor and then a bunch of doctors will show up you can scroll through and you can see them and right now there are some there's an orthopedic surgeon we we've signed up 20 doctors from a platform called encore so later today you'll see them appear live and I believe some of them can also take a schedule so you can schedule some of the experts now we didn't didn't use to be able to do that the point is that if you did not have healthcare and you wanted 15 minutes or a half an hour of of medical advice you could get it now instantly through your

[12:32]

could get it now instantly through your app you would just pay by a credit card the way you would pay for anything so have I signed up to Virginia Governor that's a funny question and the answer is no can they prescribe yes so if the doctor you choose is licensed in your state and it would say so in the if you read their bio it would tell you where they're licensed they can it's legal yes and they can prescribe medicines now the exception I think is opioids they're not going do any opioids without seeing you in person but for general stuff if you're if they're licensed for your state and I think the first set of doctors were just putting on a trial set the first set of doctors cover about 25 different states so check their bio to make sure that they're it's a statement state you you care about now somebody said viagra I assume so adderall is always more of a

[13:36]

assume so adderall is always more of a controlled substance I'm not the expert on this stuff but I would think that something like adderall probably could not be prescribed over without seeing somebody in person but I'm not positive about that and then as far as ordering blood tests I don't want you to have to ask the doctors about all right have you signed up any lawyers you had their lawyers on there all the time and right now the we've got a chicken and egg thing going which is it's easy to get experts as long as there are people to call them but we need both callers and experts so the more of you who silent the more successful will be so if you want to bring down the cost of health care and make an option for people who don't have it if you support this platform simply by signing up or telling other people about it you would be you'd be helping bring and bring down the cost of health care and making it more universal and then some of you

[14:40]

more universal and then some of you might want to use it for a second opinion which is probably what I will use it for myself how many times have you gone to your doctor and your doctor says do X or Y and you just want to get a second opinion but it's kind of inconvenient to find another doctor and go there so you could just call up the app and say my doctor says this does that sound reasonable get a second opinion for a reasonable price yeah sign up even if you don't actually use it because the more the more energy it gets the more sytem so we have the more likely you're you're going to think about it if you've already signed up the more likely or use it even if even if you didn't think you were going to use it
it I remember doctors are just one type of expert so any kind of expert can sign up it's called interface bio in hub and it's in both of the app stores and also now if you if you search for interface by wound up we also have a a web verse

[15:42]

by wound up we also have a a web verse so you can do it on your your laptop as well or your any device are they allowed to sell my data well when hub does not sell your data but you have to in it's been to mean you and the person you're talking to what happens with your information the yeah just just Google interface by when hub and the web page will come up so some of you have seen hoaxed by now and yes I did have a I had a significant part of it but there were a number of people in it any new projects I just got my my first draft of my upcoming book and I got the got the first comments from my publisher there is nothing better than

[16:43]

publisher there is nothing better than the first comments if they're good so my polish publisher says the first draft is quote fantastic so there's no better feeling than writing an entire book and you don't know you don't know how other people are going to respond to it and then you send it in to your publisher and your publisher says it's fantastic it will sell a ton of them is what she told me so that's good would I advise Howard Schultz for 200 thousand a month that's a good question no I don't think so but for 1 billion dollars I will advise Democrats how to win 1 billion dollars nobody's gonna pay that so don't worry what did I think of Hawk newsome's appearance in hoaxed I thought I thought it was powerful I don't want to say more

[17:47]

it was powerful I don't want to say more about it because people will watch it and I don't want to give anything away but that whole part was very interesting
where did the money come from which money
Taleb block peterson on twitter for supporting GMO and monsanto what's your take
that's a scientific question and i don't know if i have anything to add to it if the science if the science looks good that'd be in favor if the science says it's sketchy then I wouldn't but I'm no expert on that I don't have any opinion everyone is worried they will offer you 1 billion if they did offer me 1 billion it would be the smartest investment they have made they wouldn't have to do anything else or you or 4 1 billion you

[18:51]

anything else or you or 4 1 billion you can buy the Dilbert property you could own Dilbert you could own the rights to Dilbert forever for 1 billion dollars somebody says of a sellout don't worry nobody's gonna pay the price so I won't sell them would I sell to a Saudi prince well I don't think the Saudi prince is gonna buy Dilbert so I don't have to worry about that can you upload your podcasts to Spotify I hadn't thought about that
we'll see you then switch from Kamala to Hillary if she runs I don't think so I think they're done with Hillary because they don't think she could win again would be my guess what animal would beat you be if you were a cartoon character I would be dogbert of course he thoughts about North Korea

[19:53]

of course he thoughts about North Korea well I think North Korea is looking good and I think it's going to be a long slow bringing together of North and South Korea oh I heard I heard what I thought was the dumbest comment that I've heard lately on CNN from an expert I won't mention the expert but it was a ex-cia guy I believe so an expert in all things you know foreign and mostly foreign and he said that if Trump starts pulling out of all these countries pulling our military out that if he eventually he pulls out of South Korea now listen to this he said if if we pull out him South Korea a US troops out of South Korea he said North Korea would be in in Seoul by the afternoon does that sound like a professional with a professional opinion I mean seriously do you think if we

[20:57]

I mean seriously do you think if we pulled the US military out of South Korea today that North Korea would immediately attack South Korea that's maybe the worst opinion I've ever seen on television I honestly CNN shouldn't be embarrassed should be embarrassed that they let that guy say that unchallenged and by the way nobody said you think North Korea would immediately commit suicide by attacking South Korea or somebody money said are you saying the only reason they the Kim family doesn't commit suicide because it would be suicide for the Kim family for sure is that the US military is down here does that make sense there's nobody here who thinks that even makes a little sense today the yet South Korea has plenty of weapons and it wouldn't take us long to get back over there the one thing that would happen for sure is that

[21:58]

thing that would happen for sure is that Kim jong-un would be killed if if North Korea attacked South Korea no matter what happened the Kim family would be killed there's no doubt about that so I don't think there's any chance that that would happen that said we're not gonna pull out in South Korea anytime soon so I'm not going to worry about it
do you think Kim values human life I think he values his own can you explain the Bitcoin password issue yeah so there was a big exchange where the the only person who had the important passwords died and so everybody lost all their lost access to all their money on that exchange so that was pretty bad that the only thing you need to know about Bitcoin and crypto currencies is that if

[22:59]

Bitcoin and crypto currencies is that if you lose your password roughly speaking let's just call it passwords if you lose your password you lost your money there's nothing that can change that
Brooklyn New York da going after Trump that sounds like yeah can we talk about just looking at your comments oh so now that periscope has this feature where you can invite a guest I did that last night just for a test so I can actually invite a guest here into a split screen last night I didn't think it was working the way I thought it was supposed to work but it turns out that on your end you can see the split screen so you could see the video on my end I could hear I can hear audio and I can see myself but there's probably something I

[24:00]

myself but there's probably something I coulda pressed to change what I was seeing so I haven't quite haven't quite mastered it but we'll we'll start having some guests on here probably when I get back please create essentialist of books movies podcasts and interviews you recommend I might do that someday
somebody said I could only hear audio that's funny because I did hear from somebody who could see a split screen so I guess I have to now a number of you are saying it's only audio but why did somebody actually see a split screen if somebody saw it okay now I guess I don't know well I heard it from a reliable source that it was a split screen on your side but most of you were telling me that that is not the case no well I wasn't lied to because it was somebody I know huh okay well I guess I have to

[25:04]

know huh okay well I guess I have to figure that out I will do that
could you do a split screen with Mike sort of a true battle hoaxed yeah I believe I will try to do that but I want to make sure that so he said I saw an overlay I saw talking boxes I've only heard at audio maybe if it's portrait versus landscape I was gonna alright we'll test we'll do some more testing on that so other people are saying they saw split-screen I wonder if it was the orientation of the your screen if you click the static logo that came on what would happen alright well we'll play with that that's boring to talk about

[26:05]

what else is happening so we did the State of the Union we did the Trump schedule and there's some pics some story about James Brown's death probably will bring on some climate people oh let's talk about Q I made a comment about the Q conspiracy I and actually tweeted an article in which Q was just called the conspiracy conspiracy theory and once again all the Q people attacked me for being stupid now I didn't know there were any Q people left and I was kind of blown away that there are so many people who are that resistant to seeing the obvious I don't yeah there there's some there's some conspiracy theories where even I say well maybe you know for example the conspiracy theory that there were other gunman who shot

[27:07]

that there were other gunman who shot Kennedy now I think that's probably not true you know if I had to bet on it I would bet that the story is fairly close to the story that we've been told you know single shooter but I also say to myself well maybe you know it's not it's not impossible that there was more to this story but when I hear things about chemtrails and the Q conspiracy I do not have that feeling to me to me it's just pretty obvious that those are those are made up yeah I I thought I thought the Q people had just gone away but so part of the story was that the Q was being boosted by the Russian trolls so the Russians had accurately identified the Q thing as as a disruptive useless fake news and they were boosting and some more people were getting in on the fake news so I'm

[28:08]

were getting in on the fake news so I'm not saying any Q supporters here so far but I'm Twitter that they came after me and I and I kept thinking I thought there were no Q people left I haven't heard about it Q drop in a long time didn't Jack pasaba canned you know and and I and ginger MacLean didn't didn't we do a good enough job killing that conspiracy theory yeah that's what I said excuse the little thing there's somebody still willing to to say that they believe that it's kind of amazing can I get Judith curry I might try to do that because she would be exactly the right person to talk to I'm going to do an update on my current understanding of climates so as you know I've been doing a deep dive and I think I think I'm at a

[29:08]

a deep dive and I think I think I'm at a point where I could give you an update about what seems real than what seems bs my my general overview is at both the skeptics and the climate science community have so much BS that neither them look real and in other words both arguments look for audience because so much of their arguments on both sides are obviously fraudulent so there's no side which has been accurate and honest and scientific that apparently that didn't happen both sides have some large amount of total BS uh-huh but one of those sides is right so even though they both have large dollops of BS which is the part we can recognize one of them's right either it's a problem or it's not and I'll give

[30:08]

it's a problem or it's not and I'll give you my current thinking on that I have a new question for those of you who are sort of following this I saw a claim that if you had just 18 temperature buoys it would be as good as having hundreds or even thousands of buoys measuring the temperature all over the oceans and the the reason is that 18 is enough to be representative and somebody did the math and compared it and found out that that would be the case now if it's true that you can get a reliable enough and if the keyword is enough but if you can get a reliable enough measurement of the the ocean from just 18 buoys but we actually have far more than that that would change my mind about whether or not we can even measure measure the temperature of the ocean if

[31:09]

measure the temperature of the ocean if we can't measure the temperature of the ocean I'm not willing to say that we know what's going on but if it's true that just any well-placed sample of 18 buoys would actually track the ocean temperature pretty well that would change my mind and whether or not we have a handle on this now one of the things you see all the time is look at the satellite stem it the satellite temperature measurements are the accurate ones here's what I know about that so far satellite temperatures have been only been measured since 1979 when they started having that technology and they're only measures the atmosphere so a satellite can't tell you the temperature below the water and so I say to myself since 90% of the Earth's heat is in the ocean how helpful is it to be able to only measure the air because

[32:10]

able to only measure the air because that's the 10% now if the theory is that measuring the air is actually all you need to do then I'd like to hear that so that's a gap in my knowledge is there anybody who claims that measuring just the atmosphere and not directly measuring the ocean obviously there's an interplay there but not directly measuring the ocean if somebody can tell me that that's totally good enough then that would be important because the satellites tell you one story that might be a little different from the buoys etc I'm seeing in all caps the dumbest comment about climate all right here's one thing I found out for sure and if it's the last thing I do I'm gonna make sure that nobody ever types a comment to me in all caps it's the Sun it's the Sun they forgot to measure the Sun let me tell you why that is the worst most

[33:14]

tell you why that is the worst most uninformed comment on climate and it goes like this do you think all the climate scientists in the world when they were trying to figure out the heat of the planet do you think all of those scientists forgot to include the Sun that's what people think a huge part of the skeptical community believes and and my mind just goes blah blah blah blah when I hear this they literally believe that the best scientists in the world on the question of climate and warmth forgot to measure the impact of the Sun now of course we're talking about you know that the intensely the Sun and the sunspots and the Sun cycles and all that but please dear God if you don't believe anything else I ever tell you the climate

[34:14]

else I ever tell you the climate scientists did not forget the Sun that would be the dumbest opinion in in the whole conversation everybody who says they forgot the Sun should not be able to talk in public anymore maybe their friends should just stop them their friend should say Bob Bob when we talk about climate science if you mentioned the Sun again as if it hasn't been thought of and nobody checked it you can't talk anymore you you're not allowed to speak anymore if you think the Sun has been forgotten by scientists that's not a thing and indeed the the other big argument from the skeptics is that the temperature and the co2 and the past don't line up in other words one was going up when a woman was going down in the past do you know why they produced that graph because the skeptics forgot

[35:16]

that graph because the skeptics forgot the Sun that's literally true so the reason that you see these graphs that are fake graphs of co2 and temperature not moving together is because those graphs made by the skeptics did not include the changes that we understand about the Sun and once you put those in there the lines actually match up so
somebody's like hmm I wonder about this on so so here's the other thing that people say some people are saying that the earth has cooled for the past two years so I asked this question on Twitter just like you get an answer and apparently the temperature has cooled substantially in the last two years if you think that means anything it does not it does not because any few years

[36:17]

not it does not because any few years have changed means nothing because that's all assume didn't you know the the Kleiber scientists assume that the temperature goes up and down in different years but that the average is moving here's the other worst sceptical argument the worst sceptical argument besides they forgot the Sun is that they used to call it global warming but they had to change it to climate change because there were a lot of you know a lot of low temperatures - aha we caught them they had to change the name because their theory was so bad that it wasn't just warming sometimes it got cooler that's a terrible argument because it turns out if you do a little fact-checking it's been called climate change for as long as it's been global warming so scientists did not just come up with a new marketing term they've always been

[37:18]

new marketing term they've always been using that term and they have always understood that if you warmed one part of the world it would cause a ripple effect that might cause other places to be temporarily cooler but all that matters is the average all that matters is the average so that's that's the other just terrible argument that they changed the name of it change in the name of it doesn't mean anything and all it really means is that you heard you heard the new name more than you heard the old name after a while but both names always existed so that's the terrible argument
the north pole shift I think we're still trying to figure out how that all fits in verifying the IPPC reports then come back with the fact bro I don't know what you're talking about but since you were an idiot I'm gonna ignore it how does

[38:22]

an idiot I'm gonna ignore it how does the climate change from renting polling well not everybody likes it so I save it for the end of my periscopes Oh here's the other worst argument so the other worst argument is that climate change is a giant conspiracy that's meant to create a socialist world have you heard that one that that one's sort of a chemtrails hue is Magic kind of belief and it's even backed up by some I know some UN dignitaries saying exactly that so there are actually people on video saying hey we're doing this climate change thing to you know turn socialist but there's no freaking way that all of the scientists in the world are in on this globalist scheme that is ridiculous right i I'm not I wouldn't be surprised at all if there are real people who are not

[39:23]

there are real people who are not scientists or in it for other reasons you know maybe they think it will make the world a better place because it makes us more socialist or something yeah I believe they exist but there's no fricking way that the scientists were working on this field are all in on this conspiracy now then people say to me no no Scott you don't understand we're not saying that all the scientists are in on the conspiracy we're saying that the big people who control the money are the conspiracy ones and they're the ones who are incenting the politicians incenting the scientists to do all the wrong things no nobody understands bias more than I do
do well I'm sure people understand it more than I do but the point is I literally wrote a book on bias and of course monetary bias is close to the top bias

[40:24]

here Scott is incredibly naive damn it you can't really block people anymore because the the one you touch is not the one that gets blocked those who think I'm naive because I don't believe there's a global conspiracy about climate change you really need to check your conspiracy thinking you know gene if you're believing in chemtrails global conspiracy theories q these are all ridiculous and I don't want to even spend too much time talking about them they are ridiculous on the surface you don't have to you don't have to dig down you don't have to do your own research on these these ones are just ridiculous somebody says you're destroying your argument lol alright there's nothing I can do for you if you're gonna believe a conspiracy theory that is that outrageously crazy all right I can't I can't change your mind if you're that far going but one thing I'm sure of is

[41:27]

far going but one thing I'm sure of is that the scientists of the world are not making up science because there's some global conspiracy that's influencing them all in lockstep that's just not happening
thoughts on helium-3 fusion energy technology well I have a lot of thoughts on helium-3 fusion technology let me show you a little model I made to no I don't have any thoughts on that the president said it's conspiracy well maybe he did but I don't know what sense he means it's a conspiracy to do so if I drag the list somebody's giving me some user interface tips oh I see all right yeah so if I drag the list I can stop it

[42:27]

yeah so if I drag the list I can stop it and I can block me yeah I'll probably let's see what's happening here there we go
somebody said they're getting Larry married to an American lady today wish me luck that's that would get me in trouble if I say anything about that here's a here's a comment that in the old days I would have made a joke about it
it somebody says I'm getting married to an American lady today wish me luck and I thought not going to touch that I'm not going to touch that at all all right then what it appears oh there we go

[43:29]

he keep saying it's not sure if he's trolling Scott you're afraid you'll be kicked out of your globalist climate change er lodge any comments on IQ debate yes I do I don't know which IQ debate that you're talking about but IQ comes up all the time and usually in some racist sense you know should we should we be treating people differently because their their ethnicity has some kind of a different IQ situation here's what I have to say about that the dumbest thing about white supremacist is that white supremacists believe that they the white supremacists get credit for something that people who are not them who also happened to have some some DNA in common invented some stuff and I say to myself wait a minute wait a minute just because you have some DNA

[44:32]

minute just because you have some DNA similarity with complete strangers who invented some gray stuff that doesn't make you great that doesn't say anything about you you're you are completely disconnected you weigh supremacist with anything that people who happen to also be white do you don't get credit for that so so the whole idea that you can get credit for something that other people are done just because those other people share some kind of weird DNA with you there's no there's no logic to that that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard and here's another one so and then other people say yeah but we have to you know that the white supremacist might say something like oh we have to control who comes into the country because if you let people come in from this country say the white supremacist you know you're you're gonna bring people who have lower IQ to which I say

[45:34]

people who have lower IQ to which I say how many people from any group are inventing the next iPhone it doesn't matter how many how many people you have from any group because 99.9% of every group is not changing society they're not inventing the future they're not you know they're not the ones who have solved anything you know not of any of any ethnicity 99% of them are not changing the world so what matters is the number of them so as long as the number of our smartest people goes up it doesn't matter you know what ethnicity what gender doesn't matter if they're you know they're trans LGBTQ none of that matters we just need a lot of them the more of them we have the the smartest 1% the better we are doesn't matter what color they are because if somebody who happens to be

[46:35]

because if somebody who happens to be white or happens to be male does something awesome that doesn't help me that wasn't me I don't get the reward I don't get the bonus because somebody who's not me did something cool it's it's it's sort of it's just a not a productive argument so there are things you can say about IQ that you can find scientists to say yes this is true in some average sense but in the real world the only people changed in the world are these few just unusual people and it's not me that's not you so you know treating each other by our ethnicity because there are some strangers doing something great somewhere else is just ridiculous all right
somebody says so you're saying IQ is not genetic I didn't talk about that topic

[47:36]

genetic I didn't talk about that topic at all what I talked about it is how it wasn't terribly important we think it matters but it but if it's only true in some weird you know average way it wouldn't matter if that were true or not it wouldn't shake you shouldn't change what you're doing
I've never met a weight supremacist - have you literally not if a white supremacist is someone who thinks that white people are superior to all the other races and I'm thinking now but I think that's true I believe I have never met one I've never met anybody who had that opinion that is true I'm not saying they don't exist so don't take me out of context I'm just saying personally I've never had a personal private

[48:37]

never had a personal private conversation with somebody who had that opinion
all right so I think that's all I have to say today and I may or may not join you for the State of the Union I haven't decided yet but I will I will talk to you later bye
