This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Yes, it is coffee time that is correct. Yes, sir, he says I will always he's in trouble. Why didn't see their story? It hey? How would you like to enjoy today like a lot? All you need is simultaneously because that makes everything and all you need is a copper mugger. Unless a tanker jealousies, dynamic endangered, the flask of vessel of any Fill it with your favorite liquid coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dutch media the day, and that makes everything better and you don't need a passport for this is called the simultaneous up. An app is now go.
No, I'm not going to tell you that drinking coffee will protect you from the Koran virus, but I've been doing coffee, everyday and no corona virus? Yet so that's the thing. I call science. You should always get your science from Youtube lives, dreams with cartoonists? Well, let's talk about all the things. Funny story today from Joel Pollack in bright Bart. Interestingly, I dont know what other publications will carry the story. To that one of the co founders of black lives matter, Patrice Con colors has bought for homes since twenty sixteen, I think she's still owns all for now. Here's my tale
now that there are two ways you can look at this. One way would be hey, I think this black lives Matter organization has some possibly possibly some questions to answer about where the money is going. As I dont know exactly what other sources of income she has, but she might, she might be a mere get money for public speaking baby. She has a big deal I always feel like. If you re CO founder of black lives matter, you could get a book deal if you wanted one so we don't know where money comes from, but the interesting thing is what, if it came from donations to the organization cuz, I kind of want that to be true and not because I want a crime to be committed and not because I want any. You know
the organization to be less credible, but only because it would be reparations, and it would be funny. I think you ll be hilarious, because, whereas most of the money come from that backs black lives matter does most of the money come from. Donations from Or a black people- I don't know, but probably not most, I would think that most of the money they goes to back the black lives Matter organization, probably came from white people, mostly right, big big groups billion years I wanted to donate money so what I see as a story which a bunch of white people. If some money to founder of or at least the black lives matter and one
founders is living really well, it looks like I don't care about you ass. You do you really care about your way people done any money and allegedly potentially. I have no evidence to prove that this is the case, but people suspect that maybe some of that why money went to supporting a black woman's comfortable lifestyle which to be an early, we care. Do you care. Advisory body funny, but we have not ruled out when we say this carefully. She may have made the money and perfectly legal other activities, because she would have the option to do that me. She seems to be a pretty high functioning human beings. So if you started,
close better. She probably also knows how to make money. It is a little odd that she's calls herself a train marxist and my own more real estate than ninety nine percent of the world, but she's loud. She lives in a system that allows so if she's playing the system and winning to tenacious funny, the the George Floyd trial, and the whole situation. If you will. May have almost got somebody killed unrelated to the whole George Floyd thing price or distort the story army. Lieutenant Nazario, who is reportedly our black Platt part hispanic. I was driving is new car home and he was pulled over and he was afraid to get out of the car.
So if you saw the video, it looks like a person whose, quite justifiably, afraid the police are getting murder him even she cooperates so is his hands were out of the car, so he was completely safe and under control by he made, but the little part of the club. I heard he was saying that he was concerned about unbuckling your seatbelt Because that would require his hands to go down here. While I got this pointed Adam, was that was he unreasonable to ask that maybe the police, buckling. Does if he moves his hands out of their view, he could get shot. Was he unreasonable. You know in a normal time that would sound unreasonable, wouldn't it. It would sound unreasonable in normal times, but these are not normal times. He is
presumably watch the video George Floyd as many times as you have, and probably thinks that the police are looking for a reason to shoot him is that unreasonable I wish it were. I wish or unreasonable. It's just not. Was a military member, I see police officers treating a member of the military. Like us at all all different takes on a whole, bigger meaning and worse, but But it has to be said that It was also resisting. All, I will say resisting arrest by you. Where's resisting doing exactly what they said, but he was still in communication with a still come. It will save his hands, were out the window and clearly the police can handle this buck. Clearly.
But it has to be said he couldn't handle do better to now. I have specific advice for him, but I don't believe he handle this. But it was a really is job too. Was it if you like the police? a little bit more responsibility to manage it so that he could feel safe. While they can feel safe. They were the experts there, control, and he was asking them quite clearly. Give me a way to do this safely and they didn't they We made it scarier the more he asked for safety, the scarier they made it. The police should be fired. Immediately utter know: no authority charges they come with us by if those police officers are still working today, that's not cool, I feel like they should be gone already, but we have to do so.
About the fact that you have a person of color whose afraid even surrender to the police gonna fix that. That's a pretty big problem the hunter bided laptop story: you'll like it sending all the wrong message who facto hundred Boyden story in general. Because this is what I see so far The hunter Biden did excellent drugs and had lots of orgies with strippers, which sounds fun I mean I'm not recommending it. I don't think you should necessarily adopt their lifestyle, but sounds fun while you're doing it and apparently that's all working out for him
they just gonna work out. I'm not sure, that's the message we want to send everybody like. Well, if you do that, you don't even have to remember if you lost the laptop now, of course, everybody's laughing at the fact that he is actually going on. Legitimate. You that think news and interview programmes. Actually getting away with was he doesn't know if his laptop was taken from him or if you dropped it at a place to be fixed of forgot about it? How many laptops you have is about a year was more than say two or three further up to date. I have two laptops, but one for years. I can imagine somebody might still that one and I wouldn't notice for a week What if somebody asked me Haiti have all of your laptops. I think I can
take it that our right away, I've got to one Wait a minute wait a minute I had to yesterday. So yes, I see people saying three and four What about you know where they are so The fact that he is getting away with that is just how Larry It tells you the the state of our of our news and, as others have pointed out, it would be for the people asking this question to follow up and say, but is the content? We seem real convent, obvious question: you dont know if the laptop is yours, but is that On ten yours, which seems more appropriate question, So our news is failing us and that is why does everything else? let us test your predictions. Ok,.
Every time there there's a big thing in the news, we all make a prediction about how it's gonna go. So we're gonna test a few of your predictions about a ran during the Trump administration, and this is from a tweet by Adele, so Twitter user, Adele. It points out that these are things people predicted this solemn and aid was eliminated. There would be world war. Three. Did you think that I did not think that so my prediction was right: if you pull predicted that would be war, because this. Well you're wrong about when the? U S moved its embassy in Israel, They'll be world or three I predicted that wouldn't be either be trouble, but we get over it. If you predicted that would be. You are wrong about one trump. Doesn't it,
the arena, republican Guard as as a foreign terrorist organization, world or three. Hardly even heard about it. None of that happened. Now, as Adele points out those same experts who warned against all those things, wrong on all those things are giving us a more advice about entering back into their J C P, o a so there's experts. So what does it even mean to be an expert anymore? I feel as if you can be an expert in just be completely wrong about everything. Just don't know what expert means Furthermore, some losing its value. Here's a interesting hypothesis. Run this by you and see what you think could get. This comes from
twitter users, from hunger, from where the gay. And he says this is his hypothesis? Listen see what you think. Tromp is being used to split the g opium too. Now what Why he hasn't been arrested. Can anyone else see the strategy here, the democratic replaying, forty chess? What do you think. And I'm not completely by and that now completely violent. Guess you, though, every kind of Legal action could take a long time. Maybe it's not clear that there is anything to charge charged with, That could be lots of reasons that are no charges, but one of them, but one of them could be that people who are in charge of making the decision to charge or not mine.
I want to do it, they might want him to stay around now. We know that Democrats have used this exact strategy, well exact by bees, subjective but exactly in the sense that we have documents they show the Democrats did what the news media to promote Trump during the first election, because they thought he had the least She has a well, so they were trying to keep him in the public eye, because I thought that would be good for them that didn't work out in twenty six c, but are they doing it again?. Is it possible that having him just sort of twisting around out there with legally. Is over. Him is the ideal situation, because it splits the Republicans. I don't think I can rule this out. Can you I don't think you can rule it out?
but here's another hypothesis. What would happen if Trump were arrested for what I don't know As far as I know, there are no specific allegations with any kind of evidence that the public separated here you are all kinds of unsurpassed references to things, but as far as I know, I'm not aware of any evidence of crime. The are you. You we're like allegations whispers, and maybe this maybe that, but any evidence I feel like the public would have heard something the oath. Suddenly we have already heard before. So one possibility is that there never was anything illegal right so there that would certainly explain why is not being arrested. Nothing illegal!
Another possibility is, can you imagine what Trump would do if he had nothing to lose. Imagine that data everything's trump knows that the public doesn't know. Do you know how much you knows? Well, other citizens, people is worked with. People have done things that he knows that you don't know. Oh my god, if trot every goes down. There are going to be a lot of his enemies who condemned the same day or soon after. Because he's not gonna go down alone. You know that he's gonna take as many of his enemies whither
The cab and if I were one of his enemies, I, which certainly wonder what he knows about me, so this is really interesting. He might be virtually unrestful or released on prosecutable because is just too dangerous. Maybe right, I do pretty worried about what he knows, because, as you wouldn't be, I will tell you if you lose. Never I told you that there should be something like the turing test acceptance. They're trying to find out if it's a computer or a real person behind the curtain. Those talking to you, I suggested the Dilber test in which you see if you can tell the difference between reality and parity. So I'm going to read you a tweet allegedly or am I making this up?
Is this a real tweet that a real person seriously said, or is it the parody of people like this again and the tweet went like this. White people, and men do- You ever take a day off from your nonsense. Wake up and think quote: I am going to be less toxic today. Please, try it just one day is something a real person said in public. Why people and then do you ever take a day off from your nonsense, wake up and think I am going to be less talking toxic. Today, that's a real tweak. Somebody looked at the world and said they should go over about right. Oliver Controversial, but I think I think, I'm on strong ground with this one. This was the twitter,
so you're a row to names that I find hard to pronounce subjects guessing she's a cow or co author of a forthcoming book called white women? everything you already know about your own racism and how to do better at a real book. It's a real bug. White women everything you already know about your own racism and how to do better. Well I'd like to write a book for sire around to help her do better. She she's a book. As you know there, there is some talk of reparations. I think the President Biden, I think he wants some kind of a committee to look into options. Here's what you need to know about the move towards reparations.
I believe nobody serious is talking about cash payments. Can we start there Soon, as you hear reparations you here, Now this is gonna. Work goes way. People are going to have to pay money through taxes. Gonna pay money to black people and why we punishing white people who had nothing to do with slavery. In most cases, yes, they benefited, but maybe they dimmed what about the poor way people, but what about the black people were not burdened by slavery. What about black people, who became rich theirs? no way you can do a cash payments? Can everybody here start with the agreement that no matter what reparations for slavery could ever look like? It's never been included direct cash payment and if he did Don't be too much resistance, so can we all agree that that's off the table before we talk about it? Would you re
Now, the certainly you get the slippery slope, but are you worried about that and I can say. Never happen? I'm just saying it's not worth talking about right because there's nothing to talk about it would be a horrible. Idea if it happened, I know you dated I edit. I would argue against it, but. Here's ears, the only thing I would like to add to the conversation sometimes. Because we're we're so automatically would go to our teams are. What is my team think about this issue? What is my team think we turn everything into a fight and Sometimes I make sense because you just indifferent teams and you are different things and it's kind of a fight, a political fight, but it's a fight But we we sort of automatically think everything's a fight. What, if you change your frame and just just for conversation,
Just for the intellectual experience of it, say to yourself what, if it's, not a problem or a fight? What, if it's a puzzle and the puzzle is this: how can you do something that would have less say the effective reparations, the effect being something really good for black Americans, something that they felt was compensatory in some way toward the legacy of slavery? Now, suppose you do something in which they were happy, they, the black Americans, who care about reparations. It was something tat made them happy at the same time it made Say Republicans just keep it simple. Also happy, could you do it? Is there any way you could come up with a plan that would make those two dispirit groups of Americans are all Americans right should be something in common
but the spirit in many ways is there anything that would be called reparations if you're thinking expansively it's not just a payment, it's a is a way of doing things is a change to the system is an improvements. Its is tweak, it's the adjustment of something that would make besides happy now, if you care big bosses happy can we agree is not worth doing. Ok with that, let's say that the starting point is if something that makes black Americans happy about reparations, but it made the same poor White Americans unhappy because they get whatever their just unhappy is not good, that's not where we want to go, it's gotta, be both happy or don't. Do it? That's that's the starting point. Here's my suggestion.
For a creative way now nothing. This is the idea, but I can give you an example of a creative way to approach this. That gets you everything you want for both sides. What is it the Republicans walk more than just about anything lately, it's better schools and specifically more competition in schools. Would you all agree that Republicans what school choice school competition? They were funding to, follow the kid not funding going to school? That's gonna, ruin, doktor later right? Republicans want competitive, better schools and here's the important part. They would open their wallets for it, but is to get a Republicans to simply fund the existing school system, when it's not what they want, I've been they'll funded to the minimum. But republican say that's not the system, we want your brainwashing, our kids, you getting bad result,
Do you not even helping black Americans were? You know him and what's the problem is the teachers unions, the teachers unions, prevent the competition that would allow Republicans to be happy with the direction of education. Now? What about black Americans? What are they care about the most? Well, they would care about racism, systemic racism, inequality in every way. One is the biggest lever. You could push Or Paul there would make a difference now if we accept that there are million forms of racism imbedded in society, and I do I feel, like that's a fair statement. Meaning that no matter where you are there's a lot of friction to to get anywhere so If, where we are keeps answered, grew from view thriving, that's real, but what's the biggest thing you could do education.
If you, if you create a situation where every black it and every kid right just advocate, but every black it can have a good education. You ve taken a problem this this big of racism. You just shrunk it to this big now that last part really really hard to get rid of, but the first part is done. The first part is just make education better, so every black kid can get one. That's the big thing. That's the big lever and Republicans are great. So could you do reparations by saying we would like to do a grand deal I know we don't agree on stuff, but on this we do agree Republicans what black Americans to have a better education totally want, Because they want wonder for their own kids and he can't really veto what what would be a fair solution. Word only goes to one side, none
so Republicans, would like everybody to have equal opportunity and they would like black instead of better education. It, like their own, have better education and its the same process. You have to stand up to the teachers unions, who are the source of most still systemic racism because they dont let you fix the big part The differences of education- that's the big bar- still lots a little parts Minimizing that they need some work, but the big part is education, so that's reparations blackened in saying we have the political clout because they do to deal with the teachers unions, republic. And saying we don't have the political clout. We got a lot of money and we give you our support? Imagine Republicans and black American say: look less fight about everything else, but we're on the same team on this stuff education.
And once you realize you're on the same team, it's a puzzle, it's not a problem. It's a puzzle! You get all the parts to form the complete picture. You have all the parts nothin's missing. Do we lack of money nope? We know we don't like money for good things. We lack money for things that people don't agree on. But we could get agreement on this, so the larger picture is and I'm sure problems are not fights, they are puzzles see it as a puzzle? You ve got a chance of fixing satisfying everybody. If you see this problem, it just stays that way. So that was the least tweeted tweet I have ever done. I think people here this idea. People absolutely hate me even like giving the oxygen to this.
By the most of it is because you think of it in terms of a win lose situation. I have no tolerance, no tolerance, For a win lose situation boy, I'm completely optimistic. We can figure out how everybody wins, This is one of those rare situations where. Everybody winning is completely accessible. Maybe you couldn't do that every situation, but this one you could. We are hearing that the chinese vaccination suck. You might think our vaccinations are bad, that would be european, but apparently even the Chinese receive their vaccinations are not very effective and southern suggesting that they might take some different vaccines that are not effective and maybe just add them together. So they ve got one super vaccine nothin
sorry about that, take one vaccine, that is, it is, isn't tested as much as you wish. It were mixed with another one. That's also not tested much as you are, and then you ve got a new vaccine spate of two things with when you put put them together, nothing has been tested because you ve. Never Some of them together so ass, he was like, is going from bad to worse in China. And this is what happens when China doesn't have the ability to steal our technology that they can't even make a vaccine. So you got America The european company is he on knocking out vaccines. You might not like them, but they seem to be more effective and China can't make it back scene unless they steal our technology. Is that what's happening? I'm really curious about the apparent
Lack of innovative entrepreneurial technical ability in China cuz clearly is not an education problem. It's not a wanting to do it problem, but why isn't the China doesn't create and invent stuff as good as America cuz? I know why that is. Is that entirely because of their system is bad cuz? You got to think that, in the same people who would come to America, probably inventing share right literally the same family. Some members come over here and work in Silicon Valley. Suddenly they start inventing good things. So it's gotta be the system right right or their schools. Now I just wondered what it is that makes them so uncompetitive in this major way. Our side, where vaccinations
feelings about. Vaccinations are the like this word evolving there are evolving. I'm seeing a lot of people criticising my opinions on vaccinations. Well, not quite understanding them, which is basically twitter right. Twitter is people being criticised for things that you dont quite understand the misinterpreted, eighty percentage, were but I'll give you my latest updated feelings about vaccinations and passports with low let us change outside update from where I wear admin. First thing that bothers me: that we have such a different risk profile in this country. We must say older and obese people and younger healthy people that if we all take the vaccination.
Are we all improving arrives cause? I don't know that has been demonstrated by any data has it do. We know that young people would have better chance of outcomes with the vaccinations. Even if we do know that the older weaker people do have it Suppose we know for sure that vaccinations are definitely a good risk for half of the population. But what if there's another half of the population were not so clear is, is the data obvious? That is clear, and that is good, for Everybody I dont know that we have that data Dewey, I feel like we ve used an average like on average is good, but there is such a wildly different risk profile that I asked myself wait! A minute am I in the old old and sick group in,
Vaccination, I would say, would be a good idea based on what we know today, a risk management decision, If you are old and weak and the krona virus was likely to kill you, maybe maybe the vaccination makes sense. But suppose your younger unhealthy, if you take the You get the vaccination, you still can get the Krona virus right. You still have to wear the masks. You still have to do stuff, so you are buying that much and you can still spread it if you have it so. The first question is: am I in the Gatt? there might be worse off with a vaccination, and I don't even know if that's true If there is such a group, because our data so incomes
Or am I in the older group because I'm kind of on the bubble, because my age Donno cannot, in my case But here's the thing: that's that in others, always one piece of information that makes the big difference. I just. Maybe it's just personal or something, but There is a piece of information that totally flip mice, which ready. Office is everywhere. You are apparently- and I need a fact check on this. Please fact check me, Apparently, I'm not allowed to know which vaccine I'm getting that section. In California, I think is through here such anywhere else.
You're not allowed to know in advance which one you are getting cause. That's kind of that feels like a hard now seems wrong to hear your comments are not here. I was not sure they're, so some of you are told they too. But did they tell you before you showed up? Did they tell you only want you were in the chair, not true in Pennsylvania. I didn't really news report that in California you wouldn't be told which one you are getting up saying. Yes and those. So I guess you some uncertainty on this, not in Texas, had to ask yes at the appointment. Ok, I'm guessing that you learn once you get there, but you don't learn when you make the appointment right,
And that bothers me bothers me now I get why they get why they might want to do that. But at this point I dont believe there is any way for me to say I will take the single those, but I won't take the double those. I don't have that option. Right, listen, California, but how long would I have to wait until I did have the option. Because it seems like that would have to be in the future, right wait another, however long what we Why were we have enough supply that I can say Okay, what kind of vaccine do you have? I don't like that. One right like this, I feel, like the the least you should be able to know, is before you got, which one you're going to get the unlikely summer fall June. Maybe. Some like that, so that that's a variable that at least where I am I don't I don't know very well.
Find out in advance, but maybe where you are you can now? If you get the summation. You are likely to have maybe two days where you have like a flu. If you don't get to vaccination, get the actual quota virus. You are like. A few days of the flu they belong. In both cases you can either die because even vaccinations can kill somebody And if you get the krona virus, you might die because of growing buyers kills some percentage of people in both cases there is a risk. We don't know how much of long term health problems there is a risk that the vaccine can give you long term health problems. We don't know how much there is a risk that the growth of ours could give you long term health problems go now.
There is a risk that, if you, if you get the vaccination, then you can get a passport and you can go to more places but really? Do you think that's going to be real, so What are the reasons that I am less concerned about? Passports than most of you. I'm gonna be I'll, be a little anti passport here in a minute. So just calm down. Now I know it looks like Nazi Germany show your papers both what but remember you're already in that world. There are very few things you can do that we show your idea. So you're already in Nazi Germany, you gotta show your papers, that's not different. This is another thing you have to show you. So I don't. I don't think the argument that you'd have to
Your papers is persuasive, because it's just already the case. You already have to show your idea for all kinds of stuff, but should we add to that? That's a good question, so here's my take on passports. I think that they can't work so unless worry than you are because you think that it could be implemented and it would work I with my background in business and life. Economics believe there's no way I could work and here's. Why? Let me give you a concrete example: say you're a restaurant, I'd, say you must have a passport to go to the restaurant without work. What it. Restaurants have really small margins of profit.
If they are to lose ten or twenty percent of their customers- is the difference between profit and no profit if they restaurant next door, another italian restaurant cause ever noticed. There's never just want to tell you. The rest is not just one. Daddy's, restaurant there's always competition. So if you're right next to one that doesn't require a mask. Let's say you want to go to dinner and therefore of you, three of you got the vaccination one of you just recovered from the actual corroded virus. So what have you didn't? Need a vaccination as you you just recovered. You can't go to eat at the vaccination place, You ve gotta go to the computer, so the competitor gets. Everybody wants to either maybe people say I am a little afraid. No vaccinations are so they go to the other one.
But pretty soon I think the ones with the vaccination requirement realise that no foursome can eat there. You could get one person you could get a couple de. There is less thumbs, couples get vaccinated around same time, but would be hard to get off the table. Afore were all four of them have a vaccination for a while. So I think that competition, make it largely difficult for anybody to make this stick now where there is no competition. That's the problem! Let me give you Example, you saw the story of the volcano on the island and the cruise ships but only take people were vaccinated, and then you said to yourself, I told you, I told you as soon as it's an option, they're going to make sure you have two you're vaccinated. You can't do stuff well. This is exactly an example of no competition
To remember where there is competition or probably five, because there's competition that fixes just about everything where there is no competition, We only have a few cruise ships, but we ve got these people on the island and there's no other way to get him off. That's no competition! In that case those cruise ships. Can do anything they want because there's no competition. Now, apparently, it wasn't the ships that require that it was the countries where they were going to deliver those folks to their was the countries that didn't want them delivered to them. That made the cruise ships. Have that rule I think that'll probably get fixed. I think there will be other boats and other,
donations and other solutions. So I think that everywhere there is no competition, probably there's workarounds and where there is competition, the kind of takes care of itself- and I think that the as long as the government doesn't require these passports and so far it looks like they won't, because neither neither Republicans nor Democrats want em, I'm just not that worried of all the things I'm gonna worry about today. It's kind of toward the bottom really, but I don't. I don't fall somebody. The worry more about. It is just that. My experience shows that this this has all the characteristics of something that will fall apart under its own weight, so lose that what do you think about the fact that reparations we're gonna go to a committee, this kind of a way to kill them.
The best way to kill anything is to send it to committee the same thing with court packing, and I saw you saw some smart people. Jonathan thoroughly and other people are now agreeing that is probably is probably. It is planned to kill a core packing by sending it to committee committee probably won't favourite with enough with enough majority phrasing damage.
Here's a medical question for you: I am continually bothered by the fact that we don't know help pandemics end because it's not by vaccinations at least historically, so that's the biggest are known and the most important thing. If we knew that would maybe we'd act differently, and so the question is this: do will the vaccinations make the virus mutate faster and become dangerous, sends scary? But who knows- and so here is my question is it possible? Is this a thing to be exposed to trace amounts of the corona virus, not enough to ever get sick not enough even be and asymptomatic infected person. In other words, if they tested you my darling shop, but could you develop some?
like little bit of anti bodies without ever being in really infected? I know you can be infected asymptomatic. That's not what I'm talking about Can you be exposed and somehow build like this little bit of immunity without ever really actually having. It is everything because we the mystery of how a pandemic can ever end. Well before you get too heard immunity. Some people have some kind of immunity. It just has to now I dont know if that immunity is genetic could be, could be genetic, but I feel like maybe especially with US corona virus words everywhere in the air. Do you believe you haven't breathed than any corona virus.
Because I feel like I must breathe it everywhere. I feel like every am I going to the grocery store, whatever I feel like. There must be a little bit, Run a virus in their right, it just a little bit so the question I wonder in my ignorant non scientific non medical brain is: is there some about it. The people can get a little bit of it now No, they had it, but if there ever exposed again, there are already a little bit ready runs the seas We also as it is so somebody says it takes out the week that doesnt quite explain it, because the healthy would still be infected. They just one guy, there's something that makes these otherwise healthy people just invulnerable. And I feel like it might be exposure vitamin d levels. Maybe.
I'm not sold only on all that there is a TED economist talking about climate, change in a way that only economists can I've told you before that when scientists tell you what the risk of something is trouble, is there not economists, scientists or not And unless an economist arose right, I'm just saying is a different field and understanding, and so this tat economists, whose name I forgot to write down, made the following point: Let's say you wanted to go to the steel industry and say steel industry stop putting co2 into the air. Could they do it? Won't it turns out they could do and physically.
They left like tear down there all factory and build it completely differently, and then they could make steel at fairly low co2 production, but my double or cost so can they do? It is economically possible further. The makers of steel, which is one big, bigger component of climate and co2. Could there Survive if they are to double their cos seems obviously no right wooden
Every one of you say that they can really compete. They certainly cake bead, they double their cause. Well, here's what you didn't know. I suppose you want to buy your car. How much of the price of the car is steel cause there's quite a bit of your car, the steel, a things like a ton of steel in a typical car, it's gotta, be pretty expensive. Right. Well turns out your. That they cost of a car is mostly not parts or at least not raw materials. The cost of the car is there production the assembly, the overhead, the other shipping, the sales, the the marketing blah blah. It turns out that the total material cost of a car is. Ten percent and that's not unusual for other products with steel. Yeah, it's all labour and all the other stuff. So if you took a car-
and you say: ok, only fifteen percent of it is materials, and the proportion of that steel and if you were to double the cost of small party or car. What would it do to the total cost. Thirty thousand dollar, thirty euro thirty thousand Euro car- to use this TED talkers example- might go of five hundred dollars. But suppose you had an option of buying a car same car. One is five hundred dollars more than the other, but. The one this five hundred dollars more say two percent or so of year, total cost would be. For the planet and the other one would not you might by the expensive. One is better for the planet because only a little bit more expensive, five hundred dollars for the price of the whole car.
Wouldn't even notice. So the surprising thing about this is you could tax the pass things that are the ceo duper producers and you'd hardly notice. In other words, they could do. Incredibly expensive things to remit our co2 they put out you weren't, even those did you know that. Did you know that. So the fifteen percent is all of the components. That's not just the steel part, so the steel part is much less than the fifteen percent. Now he did say you also have to do the calculation on the other parts cuz every part we had some co2 but they're, not as bad as steel. It's not as bad. So the point is we probably do if we, if we listen to it animals instead of scientists, there's probably
fairly obvious way out. You just put a great burden and the things which are the problems pass the expense along to the public and the public doesn't notice Dubai that they tax and although Co2 is not bad and steals not bad, while Co2 is not bad in in some quantities but everything's bad in too much quantity, very few exceptions. Maybe money might be the exception, so I'm just looking at your reaction to that see what you thought. Okay here, Here's a low provocative thing, so Not long ago, I made the following statement that people are talking about today,
which is that all it takes to make a man happy with you're in a marriage with a man, and I said all takes to make you happy is some: a nation of at least three of the five things, respect sex exercise, work and food serve your married to a man and his within your ability to make sure it does at least three of those things or lease help. Him he's probably going to be doesn't have to be the same three everyday day about categories. Three of these things, respect sex, exercise, work or food. It seems to be. This is very doable food meaning? with a man helping him me and make a sandwich or whatever? Maybe you don't have to make the sandwich, but if he's got food and it's good food is going to become happy
So these are all very doable thing, so any any woman could quite easily help make sure a guy gets his things just by making sure the scheduling is good, etc. But does it work the other way? It seems to me. That- and I want to tell us whether this is gonna. Be very provocative goes like this. If we take, filter that everything we do is some kind of reflection of our meeting instinct and that's a good filter is very protective. You just say everything you do and some I'll being influenced by your mating instinct. You end up explaining the whole world is a really good way to explain. What's happening is even better way to explain. What's going to happen next, so
We have a situation in which men appear to want to make their women in your typical hetero relationship. I think not want their wives to be happy. Would you say that you would you agree with the fact that men want their wise to be happy now use the mating filter? It makes perfect sense because the man wants to have sex and, if the, if his potential sex partner happier he has more chance. So the main thing than a man is evolved to do, which is have sex and neo spread his seed, This is me biological impulse, making a woman happy is how he gets there. So does he legitimately want a woman to be happy? Yes, unambiguously, doesn't work, the other way
The woman have an unambiguous desire to make the man in her life happy I'll think. And I think it has anything to do with the character of the woman. I think that through the biological filter, they just don't have an incentive, and indeed. Keeping the man slightly unhappy, so he is continuing to give you. Resources is probably the optimize situations Because if the man is happy, he stopped doing stuff well, I got everything you need. Why would I more. Why would I bring you flowers if you're already happy. Why do I need to work harder to make money so that work and more comfortable? If you're already happy, I would say that being
making a man happy is biologically suboptimal and their men too, to keep our system working here. The biological part of our system kind and need to be unsatisfied overtime. So there were. Working for stuff we got to. I got to work for stuff right and I'm not sure if that makes us unhappy, because we like to work for the stuff we're sort of designed that way, but you know everybody's different, I see Jean saying untrue, not true Sandra says I want my man to be happy. Let me, let me add that I don't believe, there's any woman who thinks this way. Would you be okay with that? In my opinion,
a woman. Would agree with what I said. Consciously no woman is gonna, say ere. I do can like it when the man I love is a little bit unhappy. I believe nobody believes that. So all of you all of you saying I'm say most of the women saying- that's not true. I want my husband to be happy. I do believe you believe that I don't believe this Logically true, so I not sure that all of your actions are compatible with that. Many are, of course, relationship. So, of course, here considering what your partner once, but I feel like there's a difference and that there is a biological reason for this somewhat obvious. Do you buy that? Let me look for this as just a provocative thought. It's, What I'm telling you it's true so tomorrow,
When somebody says Scott says this is true, you will be lying, I'm just saying it's provocative thought and I was I'm not Sandra, says you're, not in the anthropologist. No I'm not have you ever seen. Me disagree with experts before I'm just going to say, look at my track record of disagreeing with experts and then come back out with come back with how I'm not one, if my track record were that the experts are always right and I'm always wrong. You'd have a good point. Scott you're, not an anthropologist, but if it were the opposite, you should say to yourself: well, it's weird how often you write despite the experts, disagree, somebody's s, we do the algae Bt Q community do they have other forms of motivation and my
would be men you there there's nothing, this true for everybody. So if you're in the eligibility coming cutie community, you're already in a group that I like to choose my words carefully say non majority, I don't like to say Non standard Cosette that implies But you're in the Non majority and that's the there always outliers for every situation, so I think I think that you wouldn't make too many assumptions about that group. Probably it's all over the place.
What is this so the schedule Van Pulitzer says he turned down a ten million dollar bribe to not help of forensic audit of balance, say I'd. Wait on the credibility of that story. Eric Catherine says: Ella. Well my husband, who so lazy. He must be the happiest man alive. That's true that issue I dont know how you can be lazy and unhappy at the same time, because if you're unhappy you pretty good motivation to go change, something somebody says Pulitzer this.
Joe ventilator is very credible. I would suggest that you look. It is his history I'll just put it there it if it's your opinion, these very credible just just recently researches history, and if you still think that these credible than their eager women, what resources for Lukin Ella well, have I seen Jordan Petersen Nazi means. I don't know what you're talking about enough for this. I will talk to you tomorrow.
