But a boon bump bump bump bump bump bump bump on well good morning. Everybody, some of you were sleeping in because he in the United States of America. You know a day. This is the fourth of friction in July. As right is the anniversary of the birth of our independence released, the declaration of it were whatever that is, and it's time for coffee, I'm going to the big mug, the bugs it's almost as big as my head. You could go smaller. There would be ok, but join me if you will for the simultaneous hip.

That is some good, patriotic simultaneous separate. There will so happy birthday, America. I will to once again thank the founders of this country for creating a system that works really well, I'm not sure, there's not a better way to do things, but what they created a hundred years ago, the two darn robots, Why do I say that? Will let me give you an example. Let's say you have a problem where the government was doing something People didn't like, for example, put

children engages temporarily when there are separated from their parents at the border. What would we expect to happen in this situation? Well, if we had a bad system and the dictator, the dictator, my say children engages, I don't care less just leave their will put more children engages if he had a dictator and he had a bad system, but we don't have that. What we have is a system that works like this. The press puts a spotlight on this problem and says: Hey Children engages yes, there were children engages in the prior administration as well, but the number of people who came is much larger now, because this whole bring your children with you thing works and so there were more of them now and so the press says this problem was used to be small, and now it's big

we can do something about it and then the public looked at it and the public spoke out as one be they Democrats, be they Republicans, be they independence. They pretty much all said the same thing. Children in separated, the parents, not ideal. That is not ideal. We must change that, and so the public spoke is one and the government Wanting to be re, elected wanting to have a good measure of election to have a good reputation said: ok, people, it's not. Easy, but we're gonna sign a year executive order and get on it. What happened right away because things that will happen right away there is there a real world constraints in the real world. And so what we saw.

With all immigration border. A thing is a system built a hundred years ago, pre internet pre, digital everything, the steelworks. Still, It did exactly what it was supposed to do now. You can see the people The story didn't do everything they were supposed to do. You could say A weasels in the media, you can say the weasels on the other side, whichever side IRAN, you could say there are people We should have been on this before you could say there are a hundred ways. This should have been better and not have happened, but today we're talking about the system. The system work work perfectly hundreds of years ago the system was created and they reached through time. And they work so will celebrate. That will celebrate the system.

Then once again works. No, let's talk. From the relevant syndrome a little bit azalea, Paul sayings are really like other half the people in the United States. Think the president is a racist. Now I tweeted, my blog posts that explains the, movies, side by side, so you can see that with each other, spaces of quote evidence that he raises You can see that the other movie doesn't see it because there's an alternate explanation, which is far more ordinary, and you can see the ordinary explanation next to the hysteria explanation, and here's here's the funny thing, and there is no one or two were to talk about it. So I got pushed back from people who said, oh sure, Scott, maybe you

Explain a few of those things that make the President look like our raises but how in the world are you going explain it all of whom. Are you telling me that all the coincidence sure, it was one or two things. Maybe you can change my mind there. We saw those wrong, but so many things could it be possible? What is the other? explanation for why there are so many things. Yes, somebody's already out of me, confirmation by us, but it's not confirmation by us alone. In this case, confirmation by us by itself absolutely would not get you to where we are. What you need. Is also an enemy press. You need a coordinated press whose side more dangerously say. What's the worst thing we can say about this president to make him look like a racist

and then, whenever an opportunity comes up, they do they they gather around it and they make it they make it. The story now here's the interesting part, probably every person who who came at me on the internet today and other days, says same thing. They say you, people on the right are completely. The ties by your Fox news in your bright barred, sincere and your judge reports you half of the country, or in a dream world green is by your media, but how lucky we are there. We have a media that serves this up exactly what we want, but it's all objective, how lucky how lucky it was? The half of the world is serving up complete bullshit. That is hypnotizing it's. What is, what

but half of the world is not I'm so lucky of the good half yea. Do you know who else links through the good half everybody everybody thinks therein. The good have now said before that the winning team tends to be a little less delusional than the losing team does the losing team has to splay, not only the facts, but why thought they were so smart, but everything's going wrong on their end right. So that's a whole trigger that they need to get past the people were willing started thinking hey Mikey Elderly is good and then again they won their world is still intact. Then they say I think my good candidate will make the economy Go well and then the economy is going well, and so the people on the re say well. That makes sense. That's exactly what I

and on the left they have to explain. Why everything they protect goes wrong How can you be wrong about everything about the economy, about North Korea, about you name it the their wronger than anybody ever been wrong. Probably ever it might be a historical wrongness, hey measure that were thing but a few, like there are more people wrong about what they are back to happen next and then can clearly see that it didn't happen. Then, maybe ever ever in the history of the world was possible No way to Asia that, but it's possible, when people say to me. How can it be true that so many of these examples it's easy. The simplest explanation is that half of the coat half of the country is seeing bullshit.

All the time, all the time, relentless, continuous nonstop bullshit from half the country. All and you know what's happening in the other half of the country where still water bullshit. A bit but not as bad now. Suddenly a Democrat came to office, let's say- Let's say you projected into the future you don't even want to think about this. But suddenly its President Gamala Harris. Whatever you want to think in the future. At that point, The people on the right are just gonna, flip out and they're gonna, be the ones suffering the hysteria. This is not happening right now.

Right now. The right is, you know they ve got through a little bubble, stuff go and on what is a very small bubble compared to what is happening on the left. Should the left take power, the bubbles will flip all right. So at the moment to those of you who are trump supporters, I don't believe you're in the bubble, because your side is winning, so you don't have a trigger to make you crazy, you're, seeing the world just the way you expected it. The other side is not alright, bubbles lip? Yes, how do we reduce tedious well. The only way to reduce it is to keep violating it, so there have to be enough examples to violate tedious that you could. You could make you make the case that look, it's obvious now. We can all these examples that don't

Oh with your interpretation of the world, there are a few of those now, but not nearly enough. It would have to be something back now, I'm watching with great interest the I guess the administrations Recent ruling that there reverse some Obama instructions about how to deal with the college and college admissions and the idea is that the Asians and whites are being what would you call discriminated against in favour of other candidates because of racial, quotas or or rules or priorities, or something so no question that the old rules racist because it was it was actually designed to be

Nobody was hiding the fact The rule was meant to be racist in terms of college admission, but the argument, if we're being The argument is that a little bit of racism in college administration can get you to we'd better, less racist, more a fairer world. I'm not taking a side of that. I'm just saying that that was the argument and so the president has decided, go the other way and just say no to racism. Now, like most things and for those of you stayed with me I'll get my good point. Have you noticed that the world will treat this latest decision about how to treat call admissions in terms of the ill treated as a binary, they're gonna say That's a good idea or that's a terrible idea. Then you're a big ol, racist right. There is no doubt that that's how it's gonna be treated it's either right and fair.

Or you're a big all racist there's, no such thing. No grey areas ran between. In this case, I would like to put the following framer this. If I may, in this great arc of racism, where we have less say, let me do it russian, where you're you're, starting with maximum racism back in let's say that the days of the priests of war and the civil war, where you had actual slavery, maximum races, and the new year civil wars over you know, have slavery, but things are still really bad and leave him the Silver rights Movement- and there so loud and things are getting better and better and its approaching its approaching fair starts way up here. Let's do this racism, big problem, civil war, civil, its movement

we're getting more awake, more aware, bombers, presidents getting smaller as some point in that path from horrible too, fair somewhere around here. Your best strategy is to get rid of the artificial rule, you don't want to wait until things are equal cause, if you waited until there actually as something like we quality At the same time, you ve got rules favouring one over the other. That's actually worse, the people who are favoured. Why? How would you like to be black? Get a college education, get your college educate? you graduate and then everybody you seizure, your college degree things probably not quite qualified. Might have made a got a little help there, how the Would you like that you would like

a bed. So my point is that the right time to get rid of these artificial artificial? What would you call of rules- racism is not when you were achieved equality. That's too late. If you're being smart and you do what's best, for both sides were all sides in this case. You- wanna- get rid of the artificial constraints, just short of fairness, just before your fair possess, how you get the last part you you need to. You need to get rid of the artificial constraints so that the people who were helped by them can clothes that last gap, just by effort and hard work here, because you wanna go.

To the finish line equal, you don't want to get to the finish line equal with an air strikes, you don't want and aspects on your equality is so at some point you, ve gotta get rid of the artificial rules, get rid of the aspects. Let people just compete on quality And whether the outcomes came out exactly the same or not, they probably won't just because nothing is ever complete legal, but so the question should be under the so getting back to the college race requirement, rules. Getting back to that. The question should not be. Should we take these rules, Obama rules off, or should we keep them? It's the wrong question here is the right question: is it the right time today

the rules off, because there is a time to take the rules off to just say: look what raised doesn't count anymore here we got close enough, not equal, not equal, but close enough. So it's just smarter to lead to take the asked Rick's off because there are a whole bunch of completely qualified minorities getting into college? I'm total skill. Hardware doing all the right things and though those poor bastard I graduating with the aspects. That's not good. Because there's always gonna, be there little doubt yeah, that's a Harvard degree. Did they get a little help getting into Harvard that's an aspects on your degree? You don't want that. So

Here's a point I don't know, and I don't know that anybody smart enough to know when it is the exact right time to take the aspects off its before you get completely, even It's somewhere here and we might be there. We might not be, but that's what we should be arguing. We should be debating whether or not it's time to take rules off not whether rule should be taken off yes or no right. It's not, yes, no, it's now or wait. That's all it is as soon as you think will in terms of yes, no, you ve missed the entire argument. You you're completely you're completely missing the whole conversation is a path and at some point the aspects needs to come off for ever we might not be there, and that would be an argument. I would certainly listen to

or we might be close enough there we are doing Now- is getting gonna get you to worry, you wanna be but yeah. Let's listen, be giving black people degrees with aspects item forever. There was a time when it makes perfect sense. I'd have to and by the way, let Lily. Let me give you some background on my own experience. A number of you have read this my book. Back in the, where was the ladys and early Ninetys as working for a bank, and I was picked to be a higher management. Person yeah. I was identified as somebody who was going to work their way up the ranks, but I had the right education, etc.

My boss called me into office one day and told me that the company was getting a lot of pressure because they didn't have any diversity in upper management. They didn't have enough women. I think those one one woman in upper management and zero minorities, and so the press notice that put some pressure on the company, which was a big bank Crocker Bank at the time and my boss called the inner offices that look. Let me get rid of the racist here and said. I have to be honest with you The order came down. We can't we care, promote any white males and, and some people don't believes that they told me this directly, but I promise you. They told me that directly we can't promo you because your white and mail and there's nothing.

We can do about it because the order has come down there. We need to have some diversity and senior manager. So I I quit, Because it wasn't, it was my job to make the world a better place. It was my in the capitalist world to maximize my own, my own situation, and it wasn't gonna happen there. And, by the way, I always, I always appreciated that they told me that directly. Imagine if they haven't told me that imagine if I, Just like imagine, maybe I working hard enough. Why is my career not going right? I thought I'd be promoted by now before. I always prove appreciated the honesty. So I quit and then I went to work for the phone company Pacific Bell at the time the local phone company they got on the management track. Ever since I got a management trackers like you get promoted to the big Dimas foolish

May I am evenings abruptly I had MBA. I had some decent job experts by that was enough in color, I said the right things were the right close and I was on the track. They put me on the management faster and then my boss called me into my office and said exactly the same thing. The bank told me well, we just got busted by the press, who have just noticed that we have no diversity and senior management and until further notice, which could be God knows how many years we can promote you because you're, a white male and again- and I promise you this was said to me directly white male- you can't get promoted and we don't know when this will average age. So what did I do? I started a comic strip on the side

and that became door now so that work out for me now for most people things, I'm gonna work out as well as it did for me, but here's My larger point of this, when I tell this story in four years, I couldn't even tell them can you imagine ass? If your younger Campo, your hat. He carefully put had in those times. If your younger, you had to be there but imagine that I couldn't even tell you the story for fifteen or twenty years.

Because even telling the story would have made me look like a racist, you hearing this right. If I had told the story of how I had been racially discriminated against and lost to promising careers, I would have been called a racist for being racially discriminated against. That's what it was like in those times. It's not like that today. So today I can tell you the story as I just dead. But let me point: let me put my Spiller spin. I guess is wrong word during these times, when I lost two careers to racism, sort of an industrial racism that was intentional I didn't feel as bad as you might imagine. Because it was true that we didn't have any diversity ended is a better world. If we have some so

Dubai into the timing. I completely by into the the goal, which is to have a diverse six. Civil society in which we just stop talking about all that stuff. Here we were just stops mattering, they're in the beginning was with something closer to brute force? And the only way to get there in the beginning was with something closer to brute force right so what happened to me was. I was, on the other end of the brute force they had to really force.

Some rule changes to allow some people in the door there we're having trouble getting in promoting people up, supporting them, etc and others a ton more diverse diversity in in all of those companies. Today, if it happens, if I were working in a corporation and somebody called me into their office today and said, we can promote you guys, you're, a white male Today, that's a lawsuit, I would walk out of the office with with my phone in my own calling my lawyer if it happened in twenty two because it's a lot easier for people to gather, get a good grip and corporate world and work their way up here- and I think there are a lot more people world were really trying to coach.

And door and then do the right thing for minorities for women's and everything else. So it's a different world today. My point. That when things were terrible, there were literally no minorities representative in senior management in these two companies. When things were that bad, You did sorted need a big blunt instrument, the other. The way to fight a fire sometimes is where the fire the way that they dealt with racism was with more racism. It was just sort of up. You can call it a productive racism if you will in other words, a discriminated hard against away people temporarily in the long arm of history was temporary seem like forever. If you were living it, but

they were trying to write something, and when I got a little closer to write word is now is nowhere near you any kind of equal representation, but I would say at this point: if you were, if you're, black or female, and you wanted a job and corporate Amerika, it would be fairly easy thing if you had the qualifications so. I think the it's a different world, so my point in that the tools you use have to adjust for how big the problem is. If you ve got slavery, Unita tool like a civil war. Oh my god, that's that's like your extreme and then when you ve got I'm still a big problem, but its civil rights. Maybe you need to march some people are gonna, get hurt social disobedience, it's a big tool, but it's not as big as a civil war, and now when civil rights have been successful in the least and directly successful

You ve got a smaller difference and oh bomber said well, I'm going to deal with the smaller difference. By telling colleges, hey colleges, you can take race into account in some special ways and maybe that'll help get a little closer to equality, and then President Tromp says, in his opinion, were close enough. Not equal everyone, everybody doesnt, have equal stuff bore close enough. There is time to take the asterisks off the degrees of the people who earn real degrees by doing Stuff, they don't get aspects anymore. That's does not helping. So that's the story. Your final step is to take the aspects off. That's where we are. Or at least that's where the argument should be the arguments

Are we actually take the aspects step off or not that's a fair discussion, but if we're treat this as a yes or no about these college rules, this wrong discussion. I dont like that. You describe my degree because of my color. Well, I'm telling you that we wanted. In a world where that's not even a question. And right now or in a world where there is a question, and that doesn't seem fair to me. So if you're saying that, I'm discounting you missing the point, this is not about me. I'm saying that the world wants to look at your degree and say I am a degree as a degree. Nobody wants to feel the the enemy

the last week's degrees are overrated. Somebody says I agree. I agree about that. Hey here's a year, here's an idea. I've been thinking about. I've been thinking about this for years, but I think finally, the technology is reached. The point: where works, I'm thinking about creating my own college course. Maybe I call it the the Scott Atoms college course. It would be a collection of books. You should read or classes you should take to have to have what I would call a great education. There would make you a power. For a powerful citizen who could go and louder directions, and yet it would be all of it would be free because the real meaning that the price of a book, so I could save

Example, if you have read all of these books, You have taken these online classes all of the stuff being low cost, Then I give you the Scott items degree now, at the moment, these gardens to me, the Scott items degree would not be a great brand right so my brand, is not strong enough to make this idea work, but now imagine is Warren Buffett or its bill gates, Words, Elon Musk, Those who imagine now, instead of me I don't have that kind of credibility. The somebody seriously credible says: Stake Warren Buffett he's my favorite example. The same Warren, Buffett or Jeff basis someone who is unambiguously successful and knows a lot,

And they say I hears the Warren Buffett Class, you gotta re, these fifty bucks its lot. It's gonna be a lot of books right, it's not gonna, be six books, but you gotta read these fifty Anyhow, tat these online classes, when you're done, I Warren Buffett would totally hire you and Herbie if you, if you ve, done all those things, so that would be you say, Jordan Peterson's working on this. That would be interesting now it may be that Like me, Jordan Petersen, everybody else's interested goods are putting together their own curriculum. If you will and in the short run, is just something that people say. Oh that's, that's a good information about what to read in the long run. Maybe it's worth something.

So in the long run, maybe we can make our brains were something TIM. Ferris will be perfect. Example of someone who has credibility and could have a curriculum Peter Tail in Jordan Petersen are working on this like actually working together or working separately. You should pose year. Fifty bucks, I'm not sure I fifty bucks yards, the sort of thing if I were going to do this, I wouldn't do a casually. I would do. I have to read the books first and then make sure there were the re. Fifty books are focusing on the humanity is just reading your comments.

More like a trade product talents, books, chill Dini? There are. A lot of us have brands that are not general so if you want, unless a business degree than you, one something like a Warren Buffett business degree, so his recommendations would be around things that are specifically business good for business beyond your even imagine, Jordan Petersen doing something specifically around the humanities, and you can imagine me doing.

Something's, specifically around persuasion. Then the success and stuff like that. I get time so all involved. I I downloaded some of Thomas souls books when I was travelling and I didn't get to them, but I think he's next on my list of stuff to read after I read Gregor, fills new book value, investing yeah Carmen Simon. Yes, she could writer, she could have a curriculum, is well yeah Nevada, rather can't he would he could come up with their curricula

so, let's off now, and I hope that you didn't go off and have an absolutely terrific fourth of July for those of you in other countries. I guess you just have a day work today. I feel sorry for you, because we will be having a good time watching fireworks and drinking too much today and by Fidel.
