s backward science uh there’s a new study that found that people have the most sex have the lowest uh all cause mortality especially in hypertension patients yeah so generally speaking the people who had the most sex uh were also the healthiest [Music] so backward science I wonder how much sex people look really sick have do they have a lot of sex or is it possible that the people who are healthy looking have more sex backwards science once you spot it you see it everywhere I saw a story that uh apparently members of Congress are going to be able to go into a skiff that highly uh the the highly highly uh secure place and look at UFO stuff is that really going to
[1:04]
stuff is that really going to happen there’s really going to be a skiff where we’re going to have some of our professional Liars go in and tell us what they saw is Adam shiff going to go in the skiff what happens when Adam Schiff comes out of the skiff and says oh yeah there’s actually an alien body in there I saw it I touched it and everybody else says uh I didn’t see an alien body we’ll be right back where we were do you think that all the people who look look at whatever is in the ski will have the same opinion when they walk out no nothing works like that it’s going to be exactly the same as if there had been no skiff some people will walk in and say I can’t tell you what I saw but my God aliens and other people will go in and say I looked at the same thing you did I didn’t see any proof of aliens that’s what it’s going to be two two worlds on uh two movies on one screen well here’s another uh more
[2:07]
screen well here’s another uh more science you didn’t need to do so there should be another category of science that somebody paid a lot of money to do a study but it would have been easier just to ask me my opinion because you would have got the same answer let me give you an example uh study says that uh 14% of adults and 12% of children show signs of addiction to ultr processed foods which are high in sugar and and carbs and this addiction can be as strong as alcohol and tobacco and it’s all about refined carbs and added fats and blah blah blah to make it addictive now did they need to study that was there somebody who was unaware that that some people have a lot of trouble avoiding certain foods what was that something that science needed to really dig into I wonder if I wonder if there’s some people who really really like sweets they like them so much that they’ll get
[3:09]
they like them so much that they’ll get uh weigh 300 pounds rather than cut down on their sweets is it because they’re addictive or they just like being 300 lb and eating sweets did anybody need to study that I mean really so but it gives me an opportunity to uh remind you of the best way to lose weight this is the Scott Adams patented way and I realized after I read this about this study that there was a better way to explain it than I’ve been doing so so far and goes like this the reason people weigh too much in their own opinions people who want to lose weight um they think of it as willpower and Cal calories would you agree if you’re trying to diet if you’re the average person the average person says it’s just the number of calories it’s just my willpower I can ramp up my
[4:12]
it’s just my willpower I can ramp up my willpower I will eat fewer calories and boom I’m done I lose weight doesn’t work and people are for you know hundreds of years people keep being confused well why isn’t it working you it’s so simple just willpower and calories well it’s because the reframe is this you are fighting an addiction you’re not dealing with willpower or calories you have an addiction and it’s because modern food has been engineered to have the right amount of salt sugar and fat to trigger addiction parts of your brain so if you deal with it as an addiction that suggests a different way to approach it so here’s is my way to approach it which I’ve mentioned before but now you’ll see it under this Frame it’ll make a little more sense the worst way to lose weight is to stop eating as much as you were eating
[5:12]
stop eating as much as you were eating before and use your willpower to stay that way willpower I will eat less than the day before never works but if you were to treat it as an addiction which is my recommendation you would say to yourself all right there are about five things I eat that I need to stop eating like one would be that big bowl of ice cream maybe you know whatever whatever your thing is maybe it’s that big bag of chips or whatever but instead of stopping all of your eating which would be a horrible hardship because you’d be hungry all the time and you’ve already got an addiction to food it’s the worst thing you if I stopped eating I don’t have a serious addiction to food if I stop eating it doesn’t really hurt I just a little hungry but if I were addicted like I really really need that food of whatever addictive type then I don’t think I could you know cut down on food so here’s what you do you target just one
[6:14]
here’s what you do you target just one food and you tell yourself you can eat as much as you want of everything else and that’s it if you don’t eat that one food whatever it is let’s say it’s ice cream about two months later you’ll notice that you have a substantially decrease craving for that one food and now no willpower required because you lost the craving so now you say to yourself all right pick the second one all right now I also drink too much diet soda or something you say all right I’m going to eat as much I as I want of everything else I’ll never be hungry I just won’t have soda but it’s easy not to have ice cream also because you’ve already lost The Taste for so if you treat it as an addiction you never let yourself be hungry you eat as much as you need to fill yourself up all the time every day but it might be broccoli by the time you’re done you it might be
[7:14]
by the time you’re done you it might be veggies and berries and nuts and stuff so uh or clean protein whatever that is for you so treated as food as an addiction not a question of calories and willpower and you’ll do great ticktock is announced that for some users they’re going to allow longer videos I guess the original Tik toks were only 15 seconds and then they extended it to a minute and a few minutes now they’re looking at 15 minutes now I got to say Tik Tock is doing an excellent job of raising your children so so good work on that parents um you’ve delegated the raising of your children to to China and China is doing a good job of raising American children to be non-competitive with Chinese children now if that bothers you that China is brainwashing your children to make them less competitive uh here’s something you could do about it have you tried pickle wall it’s this cool sport that’ll take
[8:15]
wall it’s this cool sport that’ll take your mind off of all that yeah you won’t even think about it go play some pickle ball uh you can buy some paddles and balls uh they’re generally made in China so if you want to forget about China’s influence of your child brain go play some pickle ball that will totally clear you up um I saw this as series of posts on the xplatform from the prince of fakes who’s a parody account does a lot of AI stuff some of you might know the prince of Fes but he’s anonymous uh but he he he posted this that was fascinating he said uh I took a Charisma communication course before for embarking on this Cruise so I guess he’s on a cruise somewhere so I’ve been practicing meeting people and having conversations it’s amazing how rules based all of this is and how easy it is after you learn them does that sound familiar it’s the Dale Carnegie thing
[9:17]
familiar it’s the Dale Carnegie thing I’ve been telling you forever yeah what Dale Carnegie teaches you is that social interaction is rules based you just follow the rules but if you didn’t know the rules you’d be like oh my God I don’t know what to say what to do what do I do with my hands do I keep talking do I let myself go it’s rules based once you learn the rules is really easy and it takes about oh five minutes to learn all the rules of human interaction introduce yourself use the person’s name look in their eyes ask questions about them show genuine interest and when you’re done say something like well I need to get back to whatever or I let I need to get back to mixing with I need to do a little more mixing got to got to refresh my drink that’s it if you just do those things you’re done but I was interested that apparently the course that the prince of f took uh encouraged you to
[10:17]
prince of f took uh encouraged you to try to go for the hug even in situations where you don’t think it’s appropriate imagine that could you do that could you practice as homework offering to hug people you just met now apparently the prince of fakes now remember he’s on a cruise ship so everybody on cruise ships and in relaxed mode you know nobody’s in business mode and apparently he’s he’s just offering hugs to people and he’s being shocked and amazed at how often people will even if they seem uncomfortable will still enthusiastically take a hug even if they’re not comfortable they’ll still take a free hug because a free hug is like money like who givs free hugs so so he’s having this mindblowing experience to find out the strangers somebody you just met and just applied a little bit of your social skills too so what they know about you is like 1% but
[11:18]
what they know about you is like 1% but it was your good 1% that you put forward they’ll take a hug it’s like one of the greatest lessons in life that people will actually take a hug if you offer it to him like if you mean it everybody likes ug all right guy and guy not so much but but sometimes that too all right um I had a realization about January 6 that made everything come together so January 6 as you know uh Trump was accused of uh inciting an Insurrection now let me ask you this imagine a world where that didn’t happen it would be something really really wrong with that world wouldn’t there you know what that would be it would be after five solid years of the media telling half of the country that Trump was Hiller he on January 6 he was a few days
[12:21]
Hiller he on January 6 he was a few days from leaving office without doing anything Hill likee think about it what what would that have done to the entire media narrative for five years they hammered it nonstop that he would never leave office that he was looking to be a dictator that he was basically Hiller and that it was always 1939 Germany every day he was alive right I’m right right so after five years of saying he’s going to be Hiller suppose he had just left office and January 6 is the only thing that was different that’s the only thing the media would have exposed itself for having run an op on the American people for five years the biggest op that you would have seen in your life but what happens if they sell you that January 6 was an Insurrection then they were right for
[13:22]
Insurrection then they were right for five years they were wrong for five years and they had one chance left because he was almost out of power you the moment he was out of power it would be obvious that he didn’t have any remaining power he would just be out of office you know the way he was so if they had not taken that last chance to demonize him as the devil their last five years would have been a lie so that explains why they tried so hard to demonize somebody who just lost an election I mean typically you don’t demonize the loser right that’s pretty unusual um but they needed to not only to keep him from running again but to cover up five years of fake news and fake Nar wasn’t even fake news it it was pure brainwashing with the complete knowledge of all the people involved it was propaganda SLB brainwashing for five solid years and it would have
[14:24]
solid years and it would have all been exposed if they had not run this little op at the end to make you think that oh yeah yeah yeah oh yeah oh yeah there’s still a little time we were right my God we were we were almost we were a few days from being so embarrassingly wrong about the biggest thing in the world but wow wow we got lucky on that that last you know last uh public event yeah yeah he went all Hitler just like we thought he would wow we’re smart five years we told you this would happen it almost didn’t but we were right we were right in the end right now now once I explained it to you that it was their last chance to prove he was Hitler and they didn’t have any proof so they manufactured it on the last weeks you can see it right it’s super obvious as soon as I say it am I right is there a single person here who would deny that that’s exactly what happened they realized they had no
[15:26]
happened they realized they had no Hitler material after five years so they had to manufacture it just before he walked out the door to keep their keep their game alive it’s pretty remarkable and the country largely bought it half of the country it’s the only half they needed to convince quite amazing uh and as part of that Owen Shroyer is going to prison for free speech now let me say this not as hyperbole this is not hyperbole we don’t have free speech in the United States don’t give me your Constitution doesn’t include uh private companies because we now know that the government has been pressuring private companies to do their censoring for them and we can see in this Owen Shroyer case that nobody else would have you know if it hadn’t been a trump supporter this wouldn’t have happened so we could say for sure there’s no free speech you only have the ability to say things that are not dangerous to the
[16:27]
things that are not dangerous to the people in power that’s not free speech you you can you can agree with them as loudly as you want Oh I got my free speech I’m agreeing with the people in power okay that’s like opposite of free speech so no we don’t have free speech I’m not even going to listen to an argument that we do you’re stupid if you think we have free speech let me just say that directly anybody in America today who thinks that Americans have free speech as in they can go against the official narrative you’re a idiot what have you been looking at seriously now I know that doesn’t apply to the people in this audience so but really I I’m actually angered by people who imagine that there’s free speech because that’s the problem the problem is some idiots think they still have it and that there’s no there’s no problem that’s the problem anyway so Owen Shroyer is a political
[17:29]
anyway so Owen Shroyer is a political prisoner in the United States in 2023 for a political opinion that’s that’s reality and he’s not alone the January 6 people have to be punished hard to keep alive their January 6 Hitler thing because they lost for five years in a row on that narrative so Owen Shyer gets to go to jail so that they can maintain their narrative so there’s your free speech right there yep God I hate the government mostly the Democrats well uh you may have heard some stories that uh there are some students at Harvard and maybe some other places uh Jewish students Jewish American students I think mostly uh who do not feel comfortable in that environment because the pro Palestinian um some would say pramas but I’ll say pro pro Palestinian um activism there
[18:29]
pro pro Palestinian um activism there now I feel like it’s my job because I have the closest thing to free speech I don’t have it either but I have I’m a little closer than you do because I’m already cancelled so I’m going to say this as many times as it takes to make the point I’m going to make this a thing oh yeah I’m not a quitter here’s the thing discriminating against an individual is is Despicable it’s bad for society and it’s morally unacceptable so don’t do it don’t do it don’t discriminate against individuals or their religion or their race or their anything it’s despicable bad for society and morally unsupportable however avoiding a collection of people in which you believe and this is important it’s just
[19:29]
believe and this is important it’s just in your own mind in which you believe there are too many in that group who openly hate you that’s just self-defense and you should definitely do do that so for example if you were a Jewish student at Harvard and you thought that there were too many students who Harbor negative feelings about you that could actually be dangerous then that’s a self-defense question and certainly you should not be worried that you are discriminated against them as a group you can absolutely discriminate against groups as an individual as a government you can’t do you understand that as a government you shouldn’t be discriminated against people for anything right that doesn’t work it’s a bad system but as an individual you have a personal risk it maybe a family risk as well and you have to manage that the only tools you have to manage your personal risk and your family’s risk is
[20:31]
personal risk and your family’s risk is what you believe to be true nobody can take away your right to act on what you believe is true for your own self-defense now you might break a law in doing so then that’s a problem you got to deal with it but morally and safety-wise you’d be making the right choice to reduce your risk in any way that you think is appropriate nobody gets to question that so if these Jewish students were to say I think I’ll you know take a semester off or maybe transfer to someplace I feel safer that would be a reasonable decision based on self-defense and security it would not be discrimination well let me take it let me change that it might be discrimination but who gives a it might be is perfectly acceptable for self-defense right again discriminating against anyone individual is Despicable morally
[21:35]
individual is Despicable morally unacceptable and it doesn’t work for society as well doesn’t work for anybody nobody wins but looking at a group of people a collection of people who have anything in common mentally in other words if there’s anything about that group that they would Harbor even by let’s say 2% of them might only be 2% of the the group has a really bad feeling about people like you whoever you are you should get the away from that situation if you can get some distance so every day that goes by I will look more right because I started out being right uh I just expressed it in a way that allowed people to cancel me because you know we we live in a cancel um cancel dopamine Society so people got dopamine from cancelling me and that’s why they did it because they got dopamine had nothing to do with what I
[22:36]
nothing to do with what I said you know they they could imagine or make an argument that’s about what I said but it wasn’t it was opportunistic it’s like oh I get a little dopamine HP from cancel this guy I disagree with so in every situation in which there’s a group that have been uh brainwashed to think you’re the problem you should get some distance and you should not apologize for it but don’t discriminate against individuals well at the moment or I think it was yesterday there was a trans and a gay protest they were marching in support of the Palestinians does that seem uh like maybe not good self defense yeah if I were worried about my safety and I would be if I were trans and gay a little extra security issue um I would certainly not want to
[23:36]
issue um I would certainly not want to spend more time around a group of people who mostly probably find people but there might be a high percentage among them predictably that would want to throw you off a roof maybe only 1% but would you be in favor of bringing over a 100 people if you were pretty sure that one of them would want to kill you I would no no I would say that would be perfectly acceptable discrimination however if it were an individual and let’s say you were talking to just one person and they said hey you know I used to live over there in Gaza but I got to tell you I don’t even believe in religion and I don’t even think there is such a thing as a holy land I was sort of in the wrong place you know do you mind if I come into the country well hold on let let’s say in my hypothetical there’s something that allows you to check that it’s real that it’s not a liar if if you vetted that one
[24:37]
liar if if you vetted that one individual and you’re pretty sure they didn’t have any bad feelings about Israel I’d be fine letting them in it’d be like anybody else well there’s no there’s no red flag here just because you lived in a place all of your attitudes are the kind that don’t look dangerous yeah fine but where you would not discriminate against said individual ual you could definitely discriminate against the group of people just based on your belief even if it’s wrong just based on your belief that there might be some uh people who want to kill you in that group even if it’s only one or 1% you get to avoid that one if you have an option you should do whatever you can to make sure there are fewer people around you want to kill you completely reasonable even if 99% don’t all right um rasmuson asked people what they thought about bringing Palestinian refugees into
[25:38]
refugees into America um how many uh us voters approximately just approximately how many US voters do you think uh thought it would be a good idea to welcome the Gaza refugees oh that’s a pretty good guess yeah 28% a little higher than normal 28% but your guesses were extraordinary once again your ability to guess what posters have to check on it’s in but uh 52% say no and other 20% are not so sure I feel like the not so sure should be eliminated from all polls no you if a if somebody says well I don’t know just just say just Mark him down as an NPC and just go on um and during his visit to Israel Biden said the vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas Hamas does
[26:39]
Palestinians are not Hamas Hamas does not represent the Palestinian people true or false actually I think Hamas literally represents them though don’t they as in they’re actually the leader of the Palestinians in Gaza am I wrong about that that like literally they represent them now to be clear that’s not to say that the Hamas views are shared by the people that they represent but they’re it is kind of their job they’re in charge now I don’t know if you know they haven’t had elections in a while so it’s not fair to say that they elected them um but where Biden is wrong is that he’s using an individual standard to judge a group that doesn’t work for self-defense because he’s saying should we bring a group over he’s not saying should we very carefully check each individual you know I mean they would do
[27:41]
individual you know I mean they would do some checking but how much could you do um no he’s using a standard which makes you less safe so that he can feel more woke I feel that’s what it is so he’s he’s saying we want to create a situation that would be more dangerous for Jewish Americans um for sure but you don’t know if it’s like slightly slightly more dangerous in which case it might be morally acceptable because if you were you know saving the lives of thousands of of refugees and the downside from that was well in some like hard to Define slight way it might be worse for some other people who are still here Jewish Americans in particular you’d probably still do it because you know the world is always a balance of interests so there’s always somebody who’s a little worse off if you make somebody better off and even if it’s an indirect way but in the context of the Palestinians in Gaza
[28:45]
context of the Palestinians in Gaza literally being bombed by the uh state of Israel you wouldn’t really accept you wouldn’t expect the average Palestinian coming out of that Hot War to have a good attitude about Jewish Americans why even though the Jewish Americans are not Israel well they may support them and that would feel like supporting the people bombing you so under this situation it’s actually insane to allow uh refugees from the war area there are lots of situations where I might say maybe yes but not if they’ve been infected with a mental virus uh that’s not their making not their fault has nothing to do with their genes or their culture they specifically have been infected with a brain virus that would make them dangerous to other citizens of the United States so why I say too much risk uh no no
[29:47]
risk uh no no immigration for just that uh now later if 10 years go by and everybody’s peaceful in the Middle East for some reason sure I mean if things change so it’s not about the people it’s about the situation plus the people that’s too dangerous BBC reported uh that there are already 5,000 deaths in Gaza mostly of the uh Gaza residents and Fighters two questions you must ask about that number one where does the BBC get that kind of information how in the world would they know how many people died in Gaza who would tell them that well probably Hamas right don’t you think they got it from Hamas not exactly dependable and then also how many of the 5,000 do you think were civilians kind of important because the people have a different opinion about
[30:48]
people have a different opinion about killing the Hamas Fighters than they do with civilians so I would warn you that 100% of the news that comes out of there about death is unreliable but if we were to talk about it from just the pr perspective Whatever Gets reported by the the BBC is going to be somebody’s truth so at the end of this the BBC is going to report a number of casualties and and deaths and there may be other sources let’s say Israel is reporting much lower number which I think fact which one do you believe and the answer is neither and the answer is people will choose the one that agrees with their opinion so if you think it was a a brutal uh genocide you’re going to pick the big number that Hamas comes up with if you think it was a reasonable self-defense act you’re going to pick Israel’s smaller number but you’ll never know don’t think you’ll ever know don’t
[31:51]
know don’t think you’ll ever know don’t know if it’ll even be between those numbers in any any kind of way you could pick the midpoint or anything so you probably just won’t know the only thing you’ll know is that I have a hard time even visualizing 5,000 dead people like my brain maxes out around that point 5,000 dead people in like a week all in one place that’s an insane amount of dead people like it if you try to imagine them piled up like cordwood it’s a big pile of dead people so when you get to to 20,000 you’re already Beyond Way Beyond what I can sort of imagine so at some point it becomes irrelevant because you know it hits a 10 and a 10 in our brain no matter what the actual number is I think we’ll be at 10 out of 10 all right uh there’s been an a climate
[32:51]
right uh there’s been an a climate change adjustment to some Chinese Hots spot model I guess they had a model that predicted where the hotspots would be for climate change and they did a complicated you know tweaking and adjustment to make it a better model and fit the B the past better and there’s no way I can read that being a experienced individual in the world and think that anybody can measure the temperature of Earth how many of you think that the temperature of the planet can be measured and that you you can look at the average over time and learn something that is so obviously not something that humans can do right we we’ve been told oh scientists can do things that you can’t do no they can’t do do this this isn’t science the measurements are not science if anybody thinks they’re science you’re lost no the measurements are something that Engineers might do or people who are
[33:53]
Engineers might do or people who are just paid to put something in a field that looks like a a thermometer now I don’t even have to tell you all the ways that could go wrong but let me let me give you the Dilbert the Dilbert version of measuring the temperature of the Earth all right guys let’s take a measurement of the earth and compare it to the one we took last year all right o a number of our measuring devices uh seem to be offline or or out so I guess we’ll all right we’ll just put in a number that’s like the average of the other ones to compensate for these broken ones all right but we also have big areas where in which there’s no measurements at all so we’re going to make some assumptions about those that they’re similar to how they’ve always been uh or there the average between the things that we can measure by the time you’re done it’s all
[34:53]
measure by the time you’re done it’s all just a human being making a bunch of assumptions that can’t can’t be tested that’s it you you wouldn’t know if your measurements are right because there’s nothing to compare them to right the the the measurements of the satellites take of the upper atmosphere are different than what you’re getting on the ground now if one moves in One Direction and the other moves in the other direction what do you know maybe nothing no anybody who’s let let me put it this way anybody who’s ever had let’s say business corporate experience and you’ve watched what happens behind the curtain you’ve watched actual real people try to figure out how to measure anything or to get data on anything if you’ve seen real people try to measure or get data on anything in the real world it’s always the same you
[35:55]
the same you can’t it’s not doable so you end up making assumptions and trying to sell it to people as though you did it it’s not doable at all now I’m not saying that the planet is or is not warming I don’t know and I’m not saying it is or is not a problem I don’t know I think that if it is a problem we’ll figure it out and if it isn’t a if it is not a problem well I wouldn’t be surprised I mean it would perfectly fit the evidence as I see it that people don’t really know how to measure stuff all right so someday uh someday that will be the funniest thing we look back at and imagine we believed you know from today’s perspective you look back and you think oh isn’t it funny that we used to think that smoking was good for you like it was good for your health people actually believe that now we look back and go how stupid we were oh my God
[36:56]
back and go how stupid we were oh my God how dumb we were to have believed something so ridiculous by today’s standard that’s what measuring the the temperature of the Earth is going to look like in 40 years in 40 years we’re going to look back and say oh my God the entire civilization was built around the belief you could measure the temperature of the Earth or even the direction of the temperature either one and we will laugh at it as obviously absurd or that we can even know which variables uh are the the major variables pushing climate we will think it’s so funny someday but when you’re in it you’re like am I surrounded by people who don’t know how the real world Works yes I am well um Hamas apparently stockpiled a bunch of fuel in anticipation of uh what’s happening now so Hamas itself might have a lot of fuel but the hospitals might be running out of fuel
[37:57]
hospitals might be running out of fuel being keeping the lights on and that uh Israel is pointing out that Hamas has an option they can give their fuel to the hospitals and if they don’t is that on is that on Israel you know if Hamas doesn’t want to share their the sufficient fuel that they have same with the food it’s a good point But ultimately it’s only about power all right did I tell you about my uh uh my mission to uh brand Marxism because in my opinion no more than 1% of people even know what Marx is about they would say uh communism socialism something like that that’s all they would know so when you say we must not elect that politician because they’re a Marxist just know that that doesn’t that doesn’t influence anybody because they don’t even know what it is and if they think it means socialism M they’re going to say you mean like
[38:59]
they’re going to say you mean like healthare I like healthare you mean like Social Security that kind of socialism what’s wrong with that that’s what people will say so you’re not going to make Marxism go away by saying oh that Marxist because nobody knows what it means in any in any useful way they don’t know what it means so you’re going to need persuasion not the facts the facts are on your side they’re just not persuasive so you’re going to have to abandon the facts if you want to persuade and the way I would abandon them is this I would say uh it’s called Marxism because it’s about marking people as oppressors to justify taking their stuff somebody added taking their stuff and burning it but I don’t think you need to add that um now you say to but somebody’s going to say Scott it’s after Carl marks it’s not Marx as in marking something with a magic mark marker to which I say I know
[40:00]
magic mark marker to which I say I know but you’re never going to forget it are you you’re never going to forget it so that was all I was going for and sooner or later people will start associating marks with marking people for death because that’s actually indirectly that’s what ends up happening because it’s a oppressor oppressed model and the idea is you identify who your oppressors are you identify who the oppressed are and you organize you oppressed to do bad things to the oppressors because damn it they deserve it they’ve got all your stuff they stole it from you so Marxism is about marking people for uh as oppressors so that you can take their stuff it is a complete corrupt and broken process and it’s you know the driver of antifa and black lives matter and a lot of stuff you don’t like all right it’s not the same but
[41:17]
unions the tale of Robin Hood is Marxist yep marus couldn’t see his penis without two mirrors okay a mar you’re you’re a Marist you’re either a Marxist or a Marist the Marist are a capitalists yeah and anybody who calls me a colonizer I don’t want to be around don’t want to hire them don’t want to know them no want to live in their Town how do we persuade liberal white women to stop pushing guilt as the operating system of life well I I don’t know what to do about the fact that most of the bad ideas are
[42:18]
fact that most of the bad ideas are coming from one segment of the population what do you do about that there there does seem to be a market segment that is the problem and it does seem to be you know single white women so I’ve never known anybody that could tell a single white woman anything so I I don’t know how you would persuade that group vable narcissists yeah mocking them I think I think I think they’re already mocked it doesn’t seem to make a good oh I don’t know if I’ve conquered Dei I think there’s just as much Dei in ESG as there ever was they just might stop saying the names as much but boy you say colonizer around
[43:20]
much but boy you say colonizer around me and you’re my mortal enemy wom oh I am a colonizer but it’s like the nword you can call yourself a colonizer but if somebody else calls you one it means they they’re Marsing you for death Alena um your son’s learning about colonizers Anatolia just tweeted word thinking did he retweet mine or he was using it on his um your son was forced to read Trevor Noah’s biography in high school oh my
[44:28]
God uh word thinking is not word salid those are different concepts word salid is a whole bunch of words in a paragraph or a sentence that sort of the grammar is right but it doesn’t make any sense that’s uh word salad word thinking is where you try to win an argument by making your definition of the word the one the other one has to accept so for example U Nikki Haley tweeted that uh Zion anti-zionists are just anti-semitic now a community notes immediately factor and said uh no those are just different words they mean different things you know one one is about the territory of Israel you know and the other is about the people and there’s a big difference between the the dirt on the ground and the people standing on it so but it is also true that uh some number of the anti- zionists are also
[45:32]
anti- zionists are also anti-semitic so she’s she’s directionally right but she is incorrect directionally there’s you know big vend diagram correlation of course but not all that way so it’s word thinking to try to win your argument by saying the new definition that I just made up is that anti- Zan by definition means uh anti-semitic so but you can’t win an argument just by changing the definition of stuff Scott you say you’re not right or left for yours how do you articulate your position I still don’t understand why do you need to why why do you need a label for me you can’t understand me without the label why can’t I just be open-minded it’s like it um yeah I I always reject people who
[46:35]
um yeah I I always reject people who tell me I have to identify with the left or the right I don’t have to do that I absolutely do not have to do that that’s something in your mind is not has nothing to do with um uh oh I identify left as left of Bernie as a joke it’s the same way I endorsed Hillary Clinton for president for my personal safety how do you reframe the feeling of loneliness when you can’t find people who think like well you know that’s part of the reason I do these live streams because uh my personal life I
[47:36]
streams because uh my personal life I have almost zero contact with anybody who’s even interested in what’s happening in politics close to zero so if I did not do this sort of professionally I wouldn’t have any contact with anybody who cared about any of it well I’m talking about people locally you know Greg’s a friend but he’s lives on the other coast of the people I see in person uh none of them are interested in politics it’s just the rarest thing I think of one but I haven’t seen them lately yeah maybe two two I can think of like two people who would actually want to have a I should get chickens I know somebody who got chickens and ruined your life chickens is the literally the worst idea anybody
[48:38]
is the literally the worst idea anybody ever had because you know what happens when you get chickens sooner or later what happens sooner or later sooner later you get a rooster because you can’t tell if it’s a rooster or a hen when it’s a chick and if you’ve got chickens sooner or later somebody’s going to give you a chick say Hey you need another another one of those and if that thing is a rooster do you know what happens in my town if you kill the rooster you’d go to jail seriously if you keep the rooster you’ll lose your house because the rooster will Crow and your neighbors will complain and you will have to move or go to jail because you can’t have a rooster so you can’t have a rooster and you can’t kill a rooster you can’t hurt it and you can’t have it you actually have to move out of
[49:39]
have it you actually have to move out of town you got to move for a rooster so my uh my restaurant partner had this exact scenario a chicken that somebody gave her as a pet and she Lov it and she was allergic to other kinds of pets one chicken turned into two then there was a rooster and her life was ruined now you might say to me Scott you could just sort of down low kill that rooster but the people who have chickens as pets tend to be uh animal lovers no you can’t give it away there’s there’s nobody who will take a rooster you cannot give it away if you give it away you’d be giving it away to somebody to kill it probably so you’d be complicit in the crime I suppose shouldn’t be any chickens in the suburbs in the city that’s correct yeah the worst thing you could
[50:40]
correct yeah the worst thing you could ever do let get a chicken never never do that um um Key West has chickens walking all around right say it’s illegal to kill them that makes sense I I feel like in the Key West I saw chickens everywhere they were just wandering around Kawai just leave the rooster inside the coup and let predators do the work you harvest
[51:43]
it oh quietly drop off the rooster where there other chickens yeah I suppose if you got a pet coyote but again I’m talking about animal lovers not people who would be willing to kill a chicken or a booster vocal disto do I have a victory garden no I’m not not really not really a gardener I’ve learned what do I think of Google well I agree with Dr Epstein who says it’s controlling the election outcomes hey my laptop’s on the way got to do laptop coming looks like they’re flipping all Trump lawyers or are they just pleading out and they were
[52:45]
overcharged so I I used to uh feed chickens at my uh uncle’s uh Farm chickens are really scary in groups so I’d go into the chicken cop you know so it’ be sort of a big indoor area and I’d be bringing the food and imagine if you will the the floor is just solid chickens it’s just chickens everywhere but normally if you bring food to animals they they you know they go for the food but the chickens go for you I would like to give my uh impression of the chickens in the room when you walk into it all right remember I’m like 10 years old or something right and I walk in I’ve got this bucket of feed here here’s what here’s what I’d hope to see oh food that’s not what I saw imagine a room full of chickens and they’ve all got this attitude and they’re slowly
[53:45]
got this attitude and they’re slowly walking toward you but it’s all of them and they’re kind of quiet and it looks like they’re ready to jump you and you’re like if you jump me I won’t be able to come back with food no no chickens don’t don’t do it all I’ll give you twice as much food don’t do it all and then the chickens kill you well that’s how I saw it playing out in my head I imagined it that way all right now I have to go figure out why the YouTube stopped working because I think my cable stopped working you know I used to used to work in a laboratory that did a lot of
[54:46]
in a laboratory that did a lot of Technology testing and we would test things and they wouldn’t work and they wouldn’t work and we’d 90% of the time we’d find out that a cable had gone bad while it was just sitting there I don’t know how that happens but the number of times it was a bad cable when we thought one of the devices was bad probably at least 80% of the time it was the cable now these little cables are just like us USC USB C’s and I’ve got a couple of them that one does power and one goes to the uh mixer one of them stopped working working this morning I don’t know why I have no idea why it just stopped working and it was too late to fix it so I was so I was using the uh speaker in the device and I knew that one second in the YouTube people would be bitching so them like I you know if
[55:48]
bitching so them like I you know if if they can’t handle that the one minute warning you’re very clever you knew I was you knew I was stalling to contacts um no so you ask can I just turn YouTube comments off the answer is yes but also totally no totally yes but also totally no the yes best part is it does have that option the no part is remembering where it is from the last time you used it it’s sort of a buried option yeah you have to go like on a journey to find it probably have to Google it ask a friend that that sort of situation by the way I finally figured out how to log out from the xplatform on my
[56:48]
the xplatform on my iPad oh my god did they hide that it’s like four layers of menus down and none of the menu choices would give you any indication that at the end of it would be a log out thing like it is really well hidden and intentionally of course so I so I was looking for it this morning in anticipation of the audio sound couldn’t find it and didn’t have time to find it this morning you have to call to log in is this double the usual audience it looks like it is looks like a number of people went to YouTube and then came over here for the excellent show which by the way is time to wind down thanks for coming appreciate everybody I wish
[57:49]
for coming appreciate everybody I wish YouTube worked a little bit better but we do what we can do um bye for now maybe man cave tonight probably
