hey restart the economy thanks for joining hello all of you caught him come on in gather around grab a seat there's plenty of room to sit on the floor yes it is a nice haircut although I saw myself from behind and apparently not so good in the back but who cares you're not gonna see the back of my head anyway well many of you are here to enjoy a little ceremony that you know as the simultaneous simple yes first block of the day goodbye you'll be a lot more blocks on this one today is going to be block of central you'll enjoy it but first if you'd like to enjoy the simultaneous if all you need is what what do you need yeah that's right you need to cover about lots of tanker gels or sign the canteen director flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like

[1:13]

it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that dopamine here the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous simp and it happens now alright so so as you know this thing we call reality isn't real it's actually a giant simulation that plays like a video game and apparently there aren't that many real characters so a lot of a lot of characters in this R scenery and the reason that I know that this is a simulation I just I just realized it for sure this morning is why is it that there are seven and a half billion whatever billion people in the world and every time there seems to be like a national or even international story somehow I'm

[2:16]

or even international story somehow I'm connected to it how does that happen I mean seriously what are the odds that the biggest stories of the world but so often I'm connected to him like personally connected to him it just doesn't seem like it could possibly be coincidence so case in point this the read the economic reopening committee what do they call themselves the economic reopening committee auditor they need a new name but it turns out I know two or three people on the committee and what are the odds of that it's like the most important thing that's happening out of seven billion people and I know two that I know of but maybe three people on the committee the point being that we have a channel if any of you have amazing ideas I'd be happy to pass them along and you can feel like you're connected to the decision as well you blow my mind away

[3:21]

decision as well you blow my mind away that's why I'm here that's why I'm here all right
how do you win the simulation game well I believe that you win the simulation game by understanding the nature of your reality and you do that by moving up you know layers or challenges just like a video game for example this week you learned that when experts present a model of predicted performance in the future that it's not real and the second block of the day and and so you moved up a level so in the video game of life once you realize the experts are only trying to persuade you it doesn't mean that they're dishonest or have bad detentions but when they give you graphs

[4:22]

detentions but when they give you graphs and charts and stuff those are just for persuasion that's not some snapshot of the future because that's another thing nobody knows what's gonna happen in the future all right it's it's funny how many people can get blocked for mind-reading I've blocked seven or eight people already this morning for actually stating in public that they can read my inner thoughts now if somebody read my inner thoughts correctly I wouldn't block you I'm not gonna block you if you get it right but if you stay in public Adams is just thinking this because what he really wants us to eat all the ice cream well I don't eat ice cream so I'm gonna block you for that all right have you seen devs I don't know what that is we will never be the same again yeah we've never been the same ever so

[5:23]

yeah we've never been the same ever so we're always changing but yes it's true it's changing faster all right so you all wondered why Sweden is doing so well actually their infection rate is kind of high but not as high as you'd think it would be given that they're not doing a lot of distancing and haven't you been wondering what is it about Sweden what is it about Sweden that makes them not have to do all the social distancing and they're still getting you know not the worst result the world what is it well here's a hypothesis that I heard today I think this is true came from an editor at BuzzFeed so you can you know make your own decisions but I think we could check this and here's this statistic it doesn't seem like it could be true but I'll just put it out here that more than 50% of Swedish households have only one person so it might be there's something

[6:25]

person so it might be there's something about Sweden where they have very small households and that could be the entire could be the entire explanation so
we think we understand what's going on we probably don't so if you were saying to yourself hey we should let everybody go back to work in this country because Sweden is doing something like that and it's not so bad in Sweden it's not overwhelming their Hospital so let's be like Sweden can't really be like Sweden we could try but can't be like Sweden
yeah Adams's to say this because he wants all the door - deliveries that's right devs is about the simulation oh it says show on Hulu oh yeah all right somebody says 60% are in one-person households that doesn't seem like it could be

[7:27]

that doesn't seem like it could be possible a baby alright I still get people on the internet who say things to be fairly frequently almost everyday this sounds something like this Scott Scott Scott why don't you listen to the experts listen to the doctors you're just a cartoonist how could you be right if you disagree with the doctors and the experts and the funny thing about that is that's a perfectly reasonable thing to say I think I've said it many times myself over the course of my life I'll bet there are plenty of times I've said you know Bob you're uh you're a gas station attendant you're not a neurosurgeon yeah and if the neurosurgeon disagrees with you I'm gonna go with a neurosurgeon if it's about neurosurgery so I certainly

[8:29]

about neurosurgery so I certainly understand trusting experts over idiots right I'm not saying that the gas station attendant is an idiot I'm making a general point that experts you should believe them over people don't do anything but should you believe the experts over people who have consistently and publicly outperformed the experts right you've fallen for the fake models and hysteria block because what I've fallen for or haven't first of all none of that ever happened but if you think I've fallen for something that's my internal thoughts that you're interpreting again you can't do that you don't actually have mind-reading ability you could observe that I say something but you can't observe my inner thoughts that's not actually a thing and it would be hard to guess my inner thoughts because

[9:30]

hard to guess my inner thoughts because they're somewhat non-standard if I do say so so here's my point if there's somebody who's a non-expert who has a long public track record of predicting things and being right more often than the experts does it still make sense to listen to the experts well you're certainly gonna listen to him yeah you wouldn't want to ignore them but at what point and and how much of a track record do I need of being right in public publicly predicting things and being right and when the experts are wrong how much do I have to do it before people will stop saying Scott here's our higher power and I asked so I don't know how much I have to do it but I think I've demonstrated that I can detect BS so I do not claim I have expertise that is greater than the experts I certainly don't believe that you know and I don't

[10:30]

don't believe that you know and I don't believe that you should take any you know any kind of a technical recommendation from the cartoonist / an expert what I'm saying is I do have a really good nose for BS I did you know as you know I I've been on a lot of stories early and said no this was not true and then you've watched them not be true so you you watched me say let's close the flights from China before the experts before the experts and now they agree with me you saw me say that masks do help before all the experts and that at least the the ones who are talking in public the CDC and kouchi and all those people and who was right was it all the experts no it was me it's not because I have some kind of technical knowledge that I picked up from the air and that I that I could override the experts who have been studying these things forever it's simply that I can detect obvious BS if

[11:32]

simply that I can detect obvious BS if it's obvious you don't have to be an expert right if the best doctor in the world comes in and says Scott Bigfoot was in your kitchen he's been rummaging through your your groceries do you need to be an expert to know that didn't happen I would argue I would argue that's a perfect example of where the non expert could be relied on more than the expert because if the expert says Bigfoot is in your kitchen you don't have to do any research do you do you have to do any research do you have to look into it do you need to google it do you need to go look into your kitchen you don't have to do any of that it's obvious the Bigfoot is not in your kitchen so it doesn't matter how qualified the expert is who says Bigfoot absolutely is in your kitchen you're not really comparing expertise you're comparing one person who's good at spotting obvious lies and one person who's telling an obvious lie it's the

[12:33]

who's telling an obvious lie it's the frame of expert versus not expert is completely irrelevant to spotting obvious lies alright so that's all so my only claim is that I can tell an obvious lie I don't make a claim that you should listen to me over experts in some kind of general way all right if we don't hear a date for at least a partial or proposed reopening even if assuming it's a phased reopening if we don't feel any kind of if we don't get a date by tomorrow it could change you know tentative date but I think tomorrow's as far as I'm willing to go this is just my personal opinion you'll all make your own too decisions my personal opinion is that well today actually I'm going to start breaking my social isolation today now the reason I'm going to do it is because nobody in empower has proposed a

[13:35]

nobody in empower has proposed a workable plan and I think it's because there isn't one I don't think it's a failure of planning I think it's a failure of there is no there's no path so there's no path where everything works out right if we wait for a vaccine it's too long the therapeutics may or may not slow things down but it's not going to stop you from spreading it and giving it to people you know maybe the blood serum works but now there's a report out of South Korea that 140 people got rid of the virus and then later tested positive so it doesn't even look like immunity is promising at this point so our only choices are to slowly stay home and slowly die or to go out and risk what I think will be hundreds of thousands of deaths that would be my assumption I could be wrong I you know nobody can predict this stuff right so if you believe that I could predict it

[14:36]

if you believe that I could predict it well that's not a good that would be a good opinion but don't believe anybody else could predict it because you've seen that people can't predict those stuff however if you're looking at the risk yeah the risk is probably up to a million people in this country alone and my read of the public is were ready to take that risk now we probably I'll talk about I'll talk about Kennedy and Bill Gates we'll get to that but I want to I don't want to make you all mad first because I'm gonna go on a blocking spree once we get to that topic so just hold on for that so there are no proposed or known ways to thwart the virus we could do I think you'll see lots of advances in testing so that we could have widespread testing and test but given the virality of it and how many months it will take to roll out testing we can't really wait right

[15:40]

testing we can't really wait right somebody says chloroquine works perfectly I hear my confidence in the hydroxychloroquine is dropping every day so I would say that anecdotally is how they kind of promising in the beginning but here's what I fear is true it's been quite a long while that they have been testing this hydroxychloroquine and it's something that you could definitely tell is working in ten days because if it doesn't work in ten days it doesn't work and it's been multiple 10-day periods with multiple trials now I heard that there's one trial that's completed but it hasn't been written up are you kidding me are you kidding me it just hasn't been written up do they know if it works yeah they know they know if it works they know if it didn't do you think you would have already heard about it if it worked I hate to tell you but I think you would have already heard about it if it worked

[16:41]

have already heard about it if it worked so the one test that I think will be the first of maybe a series of them that are more dependable you know a little bit higher level of credibility and scientific rigor the first one's done and you haven't heard a rumor of how it's going to go I think I think it's because it doesn't work unfortunately I think you know and this is a tentative opinion and and I'm only basing it on this specific fairly undependable factor right so you know this is not a hundred percent kind of a prediction I'm starting to lean they'll say 6040 where if you'd asked me a month ago I would have said 60% chance this hydroxychloroquine is the real thing because there's a lot of anecdotal blahblah might not be scientifically

[17:41]

blahblah might not be scientifically proven yet but I sure feels good as of today I've got to reverse those ratios still a solid 40% chance that that helps so I'm not gonna say it doesn't help I good 40% she has helps but I would say the weight of evidence because of how long we've waited to at least hear the initial hints if there's a major study it that's a valid type in which they're waiting to write up the results that means it didn't work I think it's not what I want to be true you know I really really don't want it to be true but it feels like those tests are effective to tell us what we walked or we would have heard it already I just think yeah just the way humans work we wouldn't have heard about it already so my suspicion is that some of the tests are showing no results the hydroxychloroquine and that's not the

[18:42]

hydroxychloroquine and that's not the news that people are anxious to give you so might take a few weeks before we hear that for sure so given all of the there there are lots of things that could make a difference but they're all too slow you know how long it takes to ramp up to massive testing I don't know what would solve the problem I mean massive testing could slow it down but it's not going to stop 60 or 70% of the public from getting this thing ultimately somebody says you said they worked no it's I don't know well how about if you hadn't see Chris if you hadn't done the laughs he faces I wouldn't be blocking you now but I just told you my entire thought process I told you what I based it on before and then it was a 60% chance it looked good and I've told you what changed and that that new information that we're not hearing from these trials has changed my

[19:43]

hearing from these trials has changed my opinion to 60/40 the other way why does that earn me four hilarious laughing icons after the sentence you said they worked now it's I don't know you said it worked about what I don't know no no Chris I never said it worked I said it looked good I said the odds were good okay so at least have something in your mind that's approximately like in my opinion before you criticize me for it all right because that's again it's sort of mind reading so Chris goes to the dustbin of blocking history at the very least you should be in the neighborhood as my opinion if you're gonna be if you're gonna be mocking alright here's the thing you really wanted to talk about I love you let's talk about the going back

[20:43]

love you let's talk about the going back to work so let me say again that I'm just making your personal decision that I'm going to start loosening my social isolation starting today now part of it is because I don't believe there's a reasonable plan to keep me from getting the virus so I could I could wait and then get the virus later but I don't have an option of not getting the virus you know it's like a 70% chance if I just live my life so here's the strategy I plan to take independent of whatever the economic reopening committee does now of course yeah I'm going to be supportive of that I'm sure you know I'd like to be as supportive of that as possible make sure that's a good plan but I'm gonna make my own decisions and I know all of you will and here's what I think is my best plan and I want to be really clear now I don't think any of you should take my plan for your home

[21:43]

you should take my plan for your home this is not a smart plan it's just my plan it's not based on expert opinions it's not based on good judgment it's based on Who I am and what I need to do alright so a lot of this is it's just a personal decision right and I've told you before that I might pull the band-aid off kind of guy you know and everybody is one of those two personalities some people will delay forever and you know wait for something good to happen and maybe act later there are people like me who say I'm not gonna live in a world where I might get this virus but I will live in the world where I go out and get it right away well I'm gonna pull the band-aid off I don't want delayed pain anymore I'm no longer willing to put up with delayed risk or delayed pain I'm ripping the band-aid off so for me and again I'm not gonna do anything that would risk

[22:44]

gonna do anything that would risk infecting it if you don't worry I'm not going to be reckless I'm just in small ways I'll be you know loosening things up in my personal life but at this point I want to get the virus do not take my example you should not do what I'm doing okay you really shouldn't I mean that's seriously do not take my example but here's the play I'm gonna make I've heard and again this does not have scientific backing in terms of a you know credible I don't think there's any kind of an a controlled test of this scientifically but there's lots of evidence this suggests anecdotally very risky to use anecdotal information and I totally that the amount of the load you get of the virus initially has a big difference on your outcome in other words if you're in a cruise ship and you're just breathing each other's fumes you're just marinating in virus you're

[23:45]

you're just marinating in virus you're gonna get real sick real fast and maybe too sick too fast but if you got a little whiff of the virus in it and it starts burrowing into your body from wherever you got it your own immune system has a little bit of warning as I can't what's that oh let's go let's get ready guys and and just you know start and start recovering so my strategy will be this I will still do you know enough social distancing in public I'll see I'll still do the obvious stuff I'll wear a mask I'll do the basics but I no longer am afraid of not getting it I'm now afraid let me say this I'm not afraid no I'm not afraid of getting it anymore that fear for being is gone now I'm afraid of not getting it do you get the difference now I'm afraid of not getting it so I'm gonna go live my life and I'm

[24:48]

it so I'm gonna go live my life and I'm gonna do normal precautions because I think that's good for the benefit of society to keep you know keep the hospitals you know under capacity but my mindset about preventing me from getting it just completely reversed and I don't know if this is just a personality thing in my life I until I make a decision I haven't made a decision but once I decide well I'm done once I decide then I'm done yeah I've told you that difference between wanting and deciding right you you might want to not get the virus but it doesn't help you can want anything you want but the virus has its own plan as well I have now decided to get the virus I'm not going to try to get it I'm not gonna go lick something in public but I've

[25:49]

lick something in public but I've decided that that's the path that I prefer and it's it's more of a sort of a mental health trick it's not going to change me doing good common-sense things and washing my hands and stuff but I'm no longer taking the mindset into into the rest of my life that my goal is to avoid it my goal is not to avoid it my goal is to be exposed eventually whatever it happens but to get a light viral load so I'm going to stay out of any kind of environment such as the elevator I'm gonna I'm gonna stay out of any you know tight room I'm not gonna go shopping where there's a crowd certainly not going to go anywhere where this crowd for a long time but I would like to I would like to get a little bit exposed because if the government doesn't have another plan and we can't wait you have to take the best plan you have right the best plan you have is just what's available you don't get nobody has the

[26:50]

available you don't get nobody has the magic plan if the magic plan worked the one where you work for the will you way from the magic cure you know if that were two months or three months or even if we knew it was coming and we didn't know when but we know it's coming I'd say maybe wait for that I'd say maybe wait but I don't see anything on the horizon that actually would stop us all from getting it eventually no matter how much you test the therapeutics don't stop you from spreading it the vaccine doesn't even work all the time on all the people and not everybody's gonna get it anyway it's gonna be 18 months a year whatever anyway let's talk about Bill Gates and I'll give you some background first when I was a young child I remember thinking when I was very young I remember thinking wait a minute I don't think this Santa Claus thing holds up and I

[27:51]

this Santa Claus thing holds up and I forget what age I was I might have been I know what whatever age kids figure out what Santa Claus is is not real five or whatever and I remember thinking you're through and thinking you know I don't see how you could fit all those presents on a sled and given the average speed of a flying sled and and our chimney doesn't even have you can't even get down our chimney it's just for exhaustion and the doors are locked and and none of this makes sense now if you came to me and said Scott Scott explain to me why you don't believe Santa Claus would I give you my scientific argument let's say as an adult let's say an adult came to me and said Scott are you serious you don't believe in Santa Claus what would be my wall would be my reaction should I say well adult let me look it this way oh well let's do the math let's let's figure out we'll speed let's do the volume of the

[28:52]

we'll speed let's do the volume of the sled the volume of the edge would you do that no no if an adult asked you as an adult why you don't believe in Santa Claus you would not get into the argument because it's just so freaking of yes the Santa Claus is not real if you're an adult let me give you another one
one when when I was 11 I went to Methodist Sunday School and Methodist Sunday school is where you would go where you'd be taught Bible stories and my parents were not terribly religious but they wanted us to be you know at least raised and a little bit of that tradition so we would go to the local Methodist school and I was sitting in Sunday school aged 11 and the instructor it was some young person who was teaching us about Jonah and the Whale and how the there was a large fish that swallowed up Jonah but then I don't know several days

[29:54]

Jonah but then I don't know several days later after praying the fish spit him up and he was fine and I'm sitting there at 11 years old in the sunday school and I'm thinking really really you're telling me that a big old fish I think they called it a whale but maybe fish was around big old fish whale swallowed a human he lives in that whale stomach without the benefit of air there was no bad impact from the stomach juices the digestive tract of the whale and then he got spit back up by magic and he was fine and that same day I called a meeting with my mother and I said mom I don't know how to tell you this this is this true story by the way I don't know how to tell you this but the things we're learning in Sunday school these are real you don't really believe these

[30:56]

are real you don't really believe these things do you mom and to her credit and and then I said to her and I will be discontinued by Sunday school education starting today I didn't say it quite as adult wise but I said it as I said it as resolutely as I'm saying it now I remember even at 11 years old you'd have to understand you'd have to understand my parents to know that this is a real thing this wouldn't work with your parents it wouldn't work with you as a parent but trust me this worked with me and my parents and I just said so I won't be going back to Sunday school because now you know I told it I did what you wanted I gave it a good try but it's obvious to me that the stories are just made up and I don't see the points and my mother said to me very well it was never discussed again that was the last day I had to go to Sunday school now I believe my siblings

[31:58]

Sunday school now I believe my siblings had to go a few for a little bit longer until they sort of rebelled I don't remember their their exact plans my brother can remind me Alaska planner but
so at age 11 and I'm not going to talk UN if your religion I'm just gonna say that that specific story about the fish in Jonah seemed clearly unreal if you were to ask me as an adult to defend in my opinion on that I would say not gonna because big fish eats person spits a male whole days later that's not an argument that's not really a debate if you can't see that that's not real without the benefit of the discussion about it I don't think I'm gonna change your mind years go by there's this thing called professional wrestling and when I was a kid it wasn't it wasn't explicit that

[33:00]

kid it wasn't it wasn't explicit that it's just acting and I would watch all my peers watching wrestling and I would say are you saying are you seeing the same thing I'm seeing because to me that wrestling is obviously all acting and I would look at my peers the kids and they would say no it isn't look there's blood you know look at that they couldn't possibly be acting and I would say to myself you know I I can't really argue the fine points of this because this is just Santa Claus all over again this is just Jonah being eaten by a fish I don't really need to argue the details just look at it it's obviously acting and my peers said no I don't see it I don't see it and of course now we know it was and I remember watching the Jerry Springer Show do you remember the Jerry Springer Show and I watched the Jerry Springer Show and every single episode

[34:01]

Springer Show and every single episode the guests would get into a fight but it was a weird kind of fight in which nobody ever got really hurt and the first several times I thought well you know people are saying other people fighting them they've just decided that you know they'll do it too because they got some attention but I kept watching show after show and nobody got hurt and it became increasingly clear that they were being coached to do fake fights and I would tell people you know this isn't real they're you know these are real gasps but they've obviously been coached that they can do this and there will be somebody to pull them apart and nobody's going to get hurt and am i right people argued with me and they say Scott you can't just look at it and know it's fake you can't tell it's fake just by looking at it to which I said yeah you can just look at it just look at it if you can't tell that's fake are you

[35:01]

you can't tell that's fake are you serious you can look at Jerry Springer and not know those are fake fights you can look at professional wrestling back to the day and you can't tell that's fake you can you can look at Santa Claus you don't know that's not real Easter Bunny Tooth Fairy do you need the argument you don't really need the argument they're just obviously not true likewise I went through the phase of you know Bigfoot and Loch Ness monster and I told myself well maybe maybe but you know as time goes by and the evidence all falls apart it's obvious that Bigfoot's not real if there's any kind of big fish in the Loch maybe but it's not a Loch Ness monster and that brings us to Bill Gates and the many rumors of his secret goal to reduce the population of Earth through eugenics Edie

[36:03]

Edie I've been going down the rabbit hole of reading all the accusations about Bill Gates and they fall into these categories number one mind-reading why do I say that well let me give you an example from Robert F Kennedy jr. this is a I believe this is a tweet of his but it's a quote from him April 10th and Robert Kennedy jr. says public health advocates around the world accuse Gates who are these people they're not named okay but they're around the world and they're accusing gates now that doesn't mean it's true right these are just accusations but keep on going of steering the World Health Organization's agenda away from projects proven to curb infectious diseases including clean water hygiene nutrition and economic development that serves gaits philosophy oh and then Gates is serving his own philosophy the good health only comes from a syringe so

[37:04]

good health only comes from a syringe so this is Robert F Kennedy reading Bill Gates's mind because Bill Gates never said wouldn't you say Bill Gates never said good health only comes from a syringe do you think he ever said that do you think he's ever suggested that do you think that Bill Gates doesn't think that clean water and hygiene and nutrition are important really because he's developing toilets for Africa to fix those problems one of his biggest projects is fixing exactly the problem hygiene clean water nutrition separate but he's working I'm sure he's working on that too so Bill Gates one of the most famous people in the world doing the most anybody has ever done that I've even heard of working on hygiene and clean water because they're related because the the the waste in some African country is an undeveloped country as goes into the water supply so if he infects the hygiene with a good toilet

[38:06]

infects the hygiene with a good toilet then you also clean the water at the same time Bill Gates is literally one of the world's most involved effective people on the very thing in in public there there's a Netflix special Bill Gates doing exactly the thing that Robert F Kennedy jr. says he's de-emphasizing he de-emphasizing there's a Netflix special on it how do you do sighs something that there's a Netflix special on and then he goes on and you think and he says that Bill Gates philosophy is that good health only comes from a syringe now let me ask you is that something you need to do research on do you need to research and Google to determine whether it's true or false this claim from Robert Kennedy who is apparently a idiot let's let's you know by the way I had this opinion before this from from other situations I

[39:09]

before this from from other situations I had suspected that Robert F Kennedy was an idiot and I said this confirms it in my mind but you don't need to do research to find out that Bill Gates does not have a philosophy the good health only comes from a syringe really this is this is pure Bigfoot material robert f kennedy says this in public i mean it's this is crazy this is crazy talk all right let's go the rest the other so the first category is mind-reading and that was my first example so if your belief about Bill Bill Gates evilness comes from what you believe he's thinking about eugenics or what you believe he's thinking about syringes health that's not good thinking let's go down to the next one next one is guilt by association there are many photographs of latter now many but there are photographs of Bill

[40:10]

many but there are photographs of Bill Gates with Jeffrey Epstein it is well documented that they have been in the same place been photographed together knew each other and indeed Bill Gates I believe he's even flown on Epstein's plane so therefore guilty right not only that but apparently Bill Gates has also been associated with this Abramovich woman who's been accused of satanic things so there there you have it right guilty he's guilty what could be more obvious than he is spend time with people who have done things that in one case we know Epstein did bad things Abramovich that's more of a murky situation but you're convinced right they spent time together did I not just open up this this periscope by telling you that I personally know two or three people on this economic reopening

[41:11]

people on this economic reopening committee now what are the odds of that the odds as somebody said earlier in the comments the odds were pretty good because I'm a public figure if you're a public figure have you ever been photographed with or spent significant time with people who you found out later were serious criminals or even were criminals at the time I have I have spent time with some of the worst people on the planet Earth in fact I've had a serial pedophile in my home as a friend numerous times a serial convicted pedophile in my home personal personal friend sounds bad right except I didn't know it at the time do you think I knew it no

[42:11]

it no I didn't know it I think you went to jail for 15 years soon after I didn't know he was this pedophile I didn't know he was a serial pedophile right I wouldn't have the room at home if he was a serial pedophile but if you look at the other world of rich and famous people here's the context that you need to know Jeffrey Epstein was one of these people who was a social connector so Jeffrey Epstein knew everybody famous if you took all the pictures of famous people who have been on his plane stood next to him he met he knows as in his phonebook it would be you know like half of the people you've heard of he was a connector when people connect with you at say this high level you often say to yourself well I don't know much about this person but this person is the

[43:13]

this person but this person is the connection to this other person so it is quite common among you know the higher levels of rich people of which I I do get a you know a glimpse of that world fairly often it is very common that people connect independent of what they think of each other independent or whether they think you're a crook independent of whether they think you'll go to jail someday independent of whether you're a democrat or republican is socialist or capitalist at the highest levels you would find dogs and cats sleeping with each other all over the place right the thing you don't think is true is that people with opposite feelings who should hate each other you think that they don't they don't associate but you're completely wrong at the highest you know sort of the the rich level of people they all associate they all associate and there isn't that much distinction between the the worst

[44:13]

much distinction between the the worst of them and the best of them in terms of whether they're connected whether they've ever been to each other's houses whether they've been in each other's planes so if you see out of context a picture of a famous pedophile and he's standing next to somebody else you know of course it should raise a red flag I agree with that of course it should raise the flag you like whatever what are these two do it in that picture together you don't think I have pictures of me standing with horrible people seriously do you know how many pictures there must be I can't think of anybody in particular awful offhand but don't you think there are plenty of public pictures of me standing with murderers and God knows what of course I've taken my picture with thousands of people and some of them are bad I know that have I ever intentionally spent time with people that I knew to have horrible horrible things in their background the answer is yes and I will continue to do

[45:15]

answer is yes and I will continue to do so I I write without restriction to associate with anyone and if you're blaming people by association that's not rational it's not rational and it might be that you just don't understand how normal it is for the worst people in the world to associate it with people or not it's so common that it doesn't mean anything I remember that Epstein and Bill Gates were both in sort of a money finding world where they were sort of working on these high levels where people were giving money and getting money and donating money and moving money and so it shouldn't be a big surprise that there are paths crossed but it doesn't mean much more than that all right here's the other thing that people miss if you only hear one side of a story it's always convincing so yesterday somebody said here's this anti Bill

[46:18]

somebody said here's this anti Bill Gates video showing that he's somehow tied in a straight line from Adolf Hitler through the eugenics and the you know the eugenics movement and Planned Parenthood and and there's Bill Gates and it's all it's all connected and therefore he's basically Hitler and I look at this video and I say totally totally convincing so the person who said it would like to know whether the video was convincing absolutely totally convincing you know what else is convincing every video that doesn't show you the other side if you think that watching the video is convincing well you're an idiot you're an idiot well I think that too so that part I'm an idiot too so we're both idiots because we both watch the video and we say yeah that looks totally persuasive but you haven't seen his side what happens when you see the other side

[47:20]

what happens when you see the other side well most of the time the first story just falls apart so if you keep making a decision on Bill Gates because you saw this video on the internet that made a really solid argument you're not very smart because the internet is full of videos that aren't real that make just as good arguments because they all have the same quality you're not seeing the other side the moment you see the other side is going to fall apart so so that's the other so you got your mind readers who are just literally making up stuff and assigning it to Bill Gates ridiculous stuff as if he has a philosophy that good health only comes from a syringe I mean that's ridiculous on the surface right you don't have to dig into that quotes out of context that's the next one so there are a bunch of quotes where Bill Gates is talking about population control there's one where he's predicting that there'll be a coronavirus what does any of that mean

[48:22]

coronavirus what does any of that mean nothing nothing it doesn't mean anything none of that means anything look quotes taken out of context are only that they should not convince you of anything if you see a quote from Bill Gates or anyone else and it's out of context it looks really evil it's almost certainly not true almost certainly and if it's true meaning that the quote we happened is just out of context so today in fact Steve Cortez was tweeting around reminding us that Joe Biden's campaign was launched on the fine people hoax do you know how many people believe and believed that President Trump stood in front of the public and said that the Nazis and charlottesville were fine people a lot of people believe that because if you take one part of his quote in a context which is what they did it looks exactly like that and all

[49:23]

did it looks exactly like that and all the people who saw that in the context did they say to themselves well I'd better wait because this might be out of context no they said it's obvious they said I'm looking at it with my own eyes Scott he said it he said it look at it listen to it open your ears Scott use your eyes read the context or read the transcript Trump said those Nazis were fine people how can you doubt it it's all here unless you actually look at the transcript and find out it's just taken out of context and it says literally the opposite of that so quotes out of context should give you you should count them as zero usefulness exactly zero right not aa it might be if you see a quote from a famous person that just looks really evil the wrong way to think of it as well it might not be true but it wouldn't probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't you know probably true no it's

[50:24]

wasn't you know probably true no it's the opposite a quote out of context by a famous person is almost always wrong it's almost always just propagate though you should assume that that's true all right so you got your mind-reading you've got the one side of the story videos that are always useless you've got the quotes out of context which are always of zero value zero not even a little bit and then you've got guilt by association because you knew he knows people that you don't like and have in some cases have been demonstrated to have done horrible things these are this is sort of it this is the argument now people have asked me Scott can you prove that none of this is true and of course you can't prove that things are not true so I'm going to take this back all the way back to Santa Claus if you're tweeting that this sort of conspiracy crap about Bill Gates this is Santa

[51:26]

crap about Bill Gates this is Santa Claus well it's Jonah professional wrist wrestling Jerry Springer fine people hoax this is the yes do not insult me by asking me to detail my argument of why Santa Claus is not a real I'm not going to detail my argument about white people can't live in a fish's belly for three days I'm not going to detail my argument about why wrestling is acting I'm not gonna I'm gonna not going to give you my argument by about why all the reality shows on TV or at least a little bit of scripted you know maybe maybe the producers give them a little nudge if you know what I mean I'm not gonna give you an argument for that it's obviously not true right somebody says what about gates supporting the World Health Organization that's now that's a good question all right so I'm gonna give credit where

[52:28]

right so I'm gonna give credit where credit is due so somebody in the comments says that Bill Gates and thus part's true and demonstrated you can all see it for yourself Bill Gates Bill Gates even today is saying that the World Health Organization is important and should be maintained so what about that what about it what about that what's your point because do you know who else thinks the World Health Organization should remain in business everybody everybody so Bill Gates has the same opinion as everybody that the World Health Organization would be good to maintain what is President Trump think about the world organization same thing same thing
if you were to talk privately to President Trump and of course I can't

[53:29]

President Trump and of course I can't read his mind but just do do a sanity check do you think the president as his first choice is that the World Health Organization disappear completely does anybody think that's president Trump's first choice do you know you don't think that you know because you've been watching President Trump for enough years then he's a negotiator and his opening offer is the whole World Health Organization is going to go away because I pulled off my funding that's the risk remember he didn't even say is pulling away the funding he said he's holding the funding until they do the the research into what happened don't you think President Trump would be happier with replacing the leadership and having more influence over the World Health Organization don't you think the president Trump would be happier with just a leadership change because the World Health Organization does actual real things Bill Gates knows that everybody knows it

[54:32]

Bill Gates knows that everybody knows it right so if you think that Bill Gates and Trump disagree on the World Health Organization you haven't been paying attention they aren't exactly the same page did you see Bill Gates say I have complete and total confidence and the leadership of the World Health Organization no no and by the way if you do see that then I would like to change everything I just said and I will agree with you that Bill Gates is a malign influence on the world and must be stopped let's just let's make it easy if ever you see Bill Gates and by the way I've even looked so I'm gonna make this I'm gonna make this assumption without even looking without even checking first if you see Bill Gates say that he has complete confidence in the head of the World Health Organization and that they did a good job recently on this coronavirus if he says that well I'll take your opinion and I will just say yeah god I guess you were right I didn't

[55:34]

yeah god I guess you were right I didn't realize Bill Gates is just evil but but it's got to be that if the only thing you hear is Bill Gates saying that the organization is important especially in a time of pandemic then that's the same opinion as Trump don't try to don't try to pretend those are different opinions one is negotiating and the other is just describing Bill Gates is just describing World Health Organization they do a lot of good things if he talks about the leadership being excellent well then him right can we agree on that if you see Bill Gates agreeing with the leadership of who well we're dead we're done with them can we all agree that if he does that we will collectively and I will be on your side we will never listen to him again and we will try to shun him from all future public activities if he does that he's not gonna do that he's not all right so

[56:37]

not gonna do that he's not all right so on Twitter I'll be blocking all the people who still think we still believe these Santa Claus stories about Bill Gates now I'm not going to tell you that Bill Gates has never made mistakes there's there's at least one story in which some vaccines he was involved with probably hurt some people if you heard his side of the story I believe you would probably understand it in a different light but it may also be true that people who test new medical solutions they probably hurt people some of them probably die but of course a little point of it is that you hope to save more people in the long run than died you know you're blaming Bill Gates for eugenics as he works every day and dedicates his fortune to helping more people in Africa live and he is literally working everyday to keep people alive in Africa and you fricking idiots want to tear him

[57:37]

and you fricking idiots want to tear him down and I gotta say I take it a little bit personally because what the stuff that Bill Gates is at least attempting to do and I think has done are of such monumental at least potential importance that when I watch people trying to stop him because they believe in Santa Claus and Bigfoot I angry about it because I would like the people in Africa to have a better life and I think stopping Bill Gates from making that happen or at least attempting to make that happen is one of the biggest mistakes in the history of mistakes Oh somebody says you light my soul today you know I needed that thank you thank you because I you know I didn't feel like I certainly didn't feel like I was lighting anybody's sold today I felt like I was just being angry and critical so the the fact that you were getting something

[58:38]

fact that you were getting something positive end of this actually makes me really happy because I didn't feel like I was rising to the challenge today frankly so I'll block the people who you're the same Claus believers
how many people died mmm I don't have a real number on that but it's too many you can see I take your person I do take you personally I do take you personally if somebody's tried to stop somebody from saving billions of souls in Africa I think it personally yeah yeah if you're if you're doing something that will could kill millions yeah I take that personally as a citizen of Earth donate your money and get out of the way

[59:40]

of the way okay I will block you for that opinion
this is helpful oh so some of you appreciated this and I appreciate that you're telling me because I actually didn't know gates has been a cutthroat opportunist his whole career Gates has been a yeah I would say a cutthroat to capitalist but his plan always had been and he's executing it is to move from cutthroat capitalist to most effective philanthropists so I wouldn't say his whole career sad okay ask questions about important people who told you you can ask questions about important people
how many lived Oh in terms of the vaccinations well I think it was a vaccination trial so I don't know if it's saving anybody's life but at least

[1:00:41]

it's saving anybody's life but at least allegedly there was some damage there
Trump also wants the World Health Organization to stay of course he does of course he does who who actually doubted that that's crazy Gates already controls well Gates is puts in a little over a billion and the United States put in a lot more than that or did we did we put in millions or billions did Gates put in more money than we did to the World Health Organization I actually don't know the answer that Scott wants the world vaccinated so his weak immune system can persist mind reader's get blocked you're always going to get blocked if you say Scott thinks you know any sentence that comes after that Scott thinks that X probably going to get blocked do you

[1:01:42]

probably going to get blocked do you think Texas Florida California should open up yes I do
you know yesterday I told myself you know if any stores are open aside from grocery stores I I've decided that I will frequent them in other words if I could walk to Starbucks today I can't because it's closed but if I could I would start today so my personal decision is that I'm coming out of isolation carefully carefully but if any local businesses want to open up I will give you some business I can only speak for myself and I don't even recommend what you do I'm only speaking for myself
what about Bigfoot the michigan governor thoughts well yes so here's my thoughts about the michigan governor and i will generalize this to what i think should be done you saw me put together a checklist the other day i tweeted it

[1:02:44]

checklist the other day i tweeted it around it was sort of a framework or a format of how to think about going back to work and the way i think that it can work and really the only way it's for the government to let the the individuals make their own individual decisions but it informed so for example we should have a website and there's a checklist and any citizen can go out there say okay over sixty mayo i have these conditions i i can size socially isolate at work i have to commute in a group you know and all those things so we we probably have 15 different factors from what zip code are you in you know which will tell you if your hospitals are impacted etc so the government could fairly easily build a checklist and then you fill in your checklist and say okay all these apply to me and then it spits out a score now let's say your score says you can safely go back to work as

[1:03:46]

says you can safely go back to work as long as you're careful you know still do the mask and distancing or whatever and then let's say you get a score this too low and your score is like below the limit and it's too risky should the government be able to tell you not to go to work because some number plopped out in this thing this set is too risky for you and the answer is no because America right the government can tell me what my risk is the government can't tell me not to take a risk doesn't have that right and you know while we all I think we all respect with or without the benefit of constitutional support I think we all respect the basic concept that in an emergency as long as your government seems to be acting let's say respectively respectfully and rationally you do want to let them make decisions and sort of take the lead in an emergency it just makes sense but as

[1:04:46]

emergency it just makes sense but as time goes by if the government is not performing in a way that you need as a citizen you dig it you do get to take your power back all right and we're at that point so I'm taking my power back as of today now I don't have any option about going and shopping at my local stores because they're not opened but I can make my own decisions today and I've decided that the that the the isolation in terms of staying home is over for me today so today will be my last day of being as careful as I have been I'll still be careful I'm not going to be crazy right don't be crazy you know stay safe but it's time to get back to work so I think we need to have some kind of a checklist from the government and then people need to make their own decisions so tying this back to the question about the Michigan governor

[1:05:47]

question about the Michigan governor here's what she did wrong she micro managed that's it so the Michigan governor did not say these things are risky and these things are not use your judgment she said you can't go in the part of the store that has the the vegetable seeds you know the garden seeds and the people said you know I might need to grow some vegetables and and if you are preventing me from growing my own food in my backyard during what you know some people might be worried about a food shortage then I think the government has lost credibility because there's a level of micromanaging that everybody recognizes as too much and she found it so she found that level that was just too much because people should be able to buy farming equipment if we're turning into an agrarian society you know whether we like it or not

[1:06:49]

you know whether we like it or not I heard the the most interesting thing on Concord last night I love it when I hear something that I'm positive I understand a situation and then you hear something that just blows your frickin mind and you go alright alright I guess I can be that wrong and here it is you heard that in some states liquor stores were considered essential services you know and what was your first reaction to that are you freaking kidding me are you kidding me a liquor store is an essential service that's craziness did somebody get bribed what right didn't you all have that feeling and then you heard that you know you could go to the liquor store but you couldn't go to church even if even if you were in your car you didn't even get out of your car you can't go to church you said yourself well this is insanity well I think the church thing was overdone but not the liquor store

[1:07:52]

overdone but not the liquor store decision and I heard so Tucker had that I guess was a governor on and he explained why the liquor stores were essential business and if you haven't already figured this out it's gonna blow your mind here's why because there are so many alcoholics you see it if you're an alcoholic and you're not in actually a you know a recovery program and maybe you've got some medical assistance maybe your tapering off or whatever you're doing if you're not well tapering probably doesn't work but if you're not in some kind of a controlled detox situation is deadly it's it's medically deadly so the worst thing in the world with would be that 10% of our population are alcoholics but they're functional most of them so most people are just functional alcoholics what would happen if they couldn't get alcohol they would steal right they would rob a freaking store I mean not all of them but you

[1:08:55]

store I mean not all of them but you don't want you don't want 10% of your public on the ground shaking and incapable of you know of functioning so isn't that a complete like mind spinner that the first time you heard liquor stores are essential you said that's just that's just crazy but then you hear oh yeah 10% of our public are alcoholics and for that it's actually medically required in the short run in the long run it would be better of course to to find some way to get off it but in the short run it's actually medically required and the governor to his credit I forget which governor it was New Jersey I think the governor to his credit explained it and said we went to the experts and we said experts quit can we close all the liquor stores and the experts the experts said whoa you don't do that it'll be it'll be a disaster that you don't see coming because they're experts and I think they're right on own so I don't always disagree

[1:09:57]

right on own so I don't always disagree with the experts but when the experts say something that is so plainly obviously true well then I do than I do so here's a perfect example remember when I said that you can't believe anything about Bill Gates if all you saw was one side how long did you only see the one side of the liquor store story and were you not totally convinced that there was nothing else to do how could it be how could there be another side right how could there be an other side to the story that liquor stores are essential like you didn't eat you didn't see that coming did you but but keep that one in your mind remember the liquor store example as your way of reminding yourself in the future that if you've only seen one side you don't know anything it's a real good discipline to have alright I've talked too long I'm gonna go down and do something else and I will talk to you

[1:10:59]

something else and I will talk to you tonight you know when
