The post Episode 1623 Scott Adams: Let’s Check Each Other’s Critical Thinking and Hallucinations Today. There’s Lots of Material appeared first on Scott Adams Says.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Good morning, everybody and welcome to the best thing that ever happened to you.
Maybe not. Yesterday, yesterday didn't go so well yesterday and was it the day before that I had my rant about a user on here named Shelly and somebody wrote that up and turned it into a meme, and I was reading the beam. So I got to actually read back my actual word.
Spit out- and thank you for that- I spoke out in apparently a moment of cathartic anger and I'm really get, and I think the point of it was to embarrass me yet to show how awful I am
bad words I used the stuff- and I was re reading my own words and I thought came up better. They thought so. If you see that go hand in hand and retreated now, there's no point in his own. That was probably just lack asleep,
If you like to take this up an auction, I think you weren't, you didn't read a little something called the simultaneous.
but all you need for that is a copper mugger, a glass, a tiger gel sustain a kantian, juggler flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid.
coffee and join me now the unparalleled
pleasure the doubling of the day. The thing
makes everything better and definitely the first one of the day.
Far. As you know, it's called the simultaneous. Then it goes like this
Well, you chose you,
get me today.
I want to buy local mall the other day,
and I have a startling discovery. You ve probably knows that the malls are not very busy. No surprise.
in my estimation, ninety five percent of all the business, the entire mall was doing was the apple store. The apple store was shoulder to shoulder people and everything else was basically a
still it looked like a lot of stores, probably have zero sales in any given day. Look like zero, so
What do you do when ninety five percent of all the volume in your mall is just the apple store? And I thought to myself
just make all mall and apple store. Go though it works, but
A lot of these walls are getting. It turned into
cool little living places where there's a like a central area that people mingle all less tourism?
so with was
see fake news or.
And one of their articles is on how Anja Rogan he was corrected by his guest. On the question of whether young men have more my own car Davis,
From the vaccine itself, if you're under a certain age and mail-
from getting the crowd of ours
and there was a disagreement there and the guest fact check to Joe Rogan- and so CNN of course jumped all over this because foreseeing- and I don't know if you noticed this- but has Joe Rogan become the new trump as a,
saying that you talk about when there's nothing else to talk about or there are you really care about? Is what you said about it like?
everything is just a reaction to Joe Rogan now, like everything used to be just a reaction to travel.
Why can't we just have her own opinions,
is gotta, be reaction to somebody who's. The target.
Looks like CNN and maybe some others are going to make Joe Rogan the the person we have to react to on all the importance and.
So the way CNN reports, the story is a jewel Rogan is impaired,
by his own, asked
showing him how he doesn't know anything about science or the facts, or something like that.
As less away CNN stage it, what
see you and leave L. They think they left at the end of the story. Yeah
they left upon the story were after it ran people fact check the guest and fell down. The jargon was right after all, or was it
but we do have to stories, and they both are backed by some kind of studies,
Leave any data more but
say then leaves out the part the,
Basically, the important part that it's her,
the general good was correct.
So they ran a story about Joe Rogan, do wrong, which was really a story about him being incorrect and his guests being wrong, but it didn't get resolved during the the episode itself.
and they use that story of Joe Rogan being correct that they turned into him being wrong? Does it
as a led him to the story about people trying to get em sensor done, Spotify the the boldness of the narrative making and the brainwashing
is just as just sort of stunning, no matter how many times you see it is still like will really are they doing their right in front of us
nobody's even tried to hide it anymore. Why guess is being hidden from people were not less say, sophisticated consumers at noon
the other day. I said something online about. If you didn't watch Fox news, you wouldn't know, that's the other networks are hoax view fairly regularly. You wouldn't know
new, several the horses and then some may set out Scott. You say that
News has the truth and the other ones
I have the truth now now I did say that is. How are you heard?
did, you hear me say the Fox NEWS gets it all right and the other ones get it all wrong.
Oh, it works the other way to its irreversible concept. The system is
watch the news on both sides because they're both colleagues now you know mistakes intentional and the unintentional level.
science? Now that doesn't mean you still get to know what's happening, but at least you ll see the other side. If they
If you're only watch one side, you really are confused and that would work for both fox as well as sealant, if you just watch in one side, but it is also true that people who were Fox NEWS
consumers tend to also be exposed to the other argument.
They tend to see it even if the other there being a little bit more persuaded by one side anyway.
Is it my imagination or have the traditional news sources become so discredited the pod, gasters and again
it's every every story. Now it's gotta be about Joe Rogan right. This is the rogue ionization of the news, because we must have the composition of the news. Now. It's just could be the rope organization of the news apparently, but
Doesn't it seem to you that the traditional news is a little bit worried? The influence is going to pod castors. Now
how are the flu actual is Joe broken at this point compared to lessen the network news, doesn't Rogan have a much bigger audience than any of the networks now collectively they can gang up on you like a little
active hyenas. So if there are enough of the little ones like a gag up on him,
but somehow he laughed the field both in both an influence as well as just size, and
This is the real new power struggle now I've actually the
before. But let me ask you this here: how much influence do I have as a broadcast on actual real world,
Compare do let's say any particular other news entity. Now you you'll have different appearance. Not much now lay the differences of opinion.
So I will tell you something that only a hypnotist can tell you ready for this. If you do how much influence I really have, I wouldn't have any influence.
A hypnotist can simply hide in plain sight.
I could actually tell you what I'm doing, and you still can't see it, because there's a cognitive blindness that most hypnotist and magicians can create the way magic tricks. Work is often just creating a cognitive blindness, so you're momentarily distracted from work, just don't pay attention to
where the trick is being done at the same thing happening right now. I could do a right in front of you and you will be able to see it so so he said one of the job,
our caps. Why didn't you have no ties? Your stepson myself son died of an overdose well Shelly. Why didn't? I have to tell my slaves, I'm gonna be because it knows it doesn't. Work on attics does work.
eagerly hypnotize somebody's not be inadequate, because an attic is not a
It is not really a functioning Hugh
in the way of other humans are. Is such a fundamental change of who they are. That is more like a zombie existence and we want to reach sir.
So you really care hypnotize, Hypnotizer zombie. You could have Natasha person, but not a zombie case. You want to know.
So I expect that there will be far more attacks on Joe Rogan do reduces info.
And also on me and the other, the temples and basically but he's got a larger, larger voice.
So I've decided that we need to have a telephone for what I
a binary disorder. Binary disorder is what makes it hard for most people to see what TIM Pool assaying or what Joe wrote in his saying or what I am saying, because a number of people who don't fit the extreme narratives and if you don't fit the extreme narratives you you're, just a confusing mass.
in a cognitive way. Again, it's like a cognitive blindness or a kind of confusion, but I don't think it applies to everyone. For example, I'm pretty sure that just threw a filtering mechanism of the people on the locals,
I'm pretty sure that they can handle nuance outside of the two binaries better than other people, partly through practice right. So we talk better off,
but partly because of self selection, its people can handle it or even willing to do it. So.
I think we really need to recognise that there is a thing. Much like trump disorders syndrome was real. How many of you would agree with that? Would you agree we with me the tedious wasn't just
the thing that you say on the internet, the it was real, rather than does anybody disagree with that? At this point,
I think I think most of you are all of you agreed that was real, but this binding,
disorder is just as real. Where have I convince you off? I have,
But is it not true, and you can see it all the time that if anybody doesn't fit into a clean narrative, that you can't tell what the people are just completely blind to who they are and they force them into one of the narratives and decide they're an enemy or friend.
So I think I'll do a telephone for binary disorder will raise money to raise awareness. Here's a random question. How many employees could be sick with covered
Before it would really make a difference to the economy, what's your number put a number on so from zero to one hundred percent? How many employees could be out at the same time before you really notice, I'm looking at some numbers coming in on locals that you're all over the place from five percent to eighty percent, twenty percent and thirty percent over on Youtube? Thirty! Well, as as the Dilbert guy,
I feel qualified to make a pronouncement on this ten percent award, everybody ten percent, not gonna, make it efforts,
I remember what, at the first day, I learned this was when I worked in a salad cutting operation at a resort. It was my job to prepare in bulk hundreds of solid soggy chop and letters vegetal. What
and one of our, I think it was one of our five employees quit.
and the boss came to us and said here's the deal. There were five review. I can hire another person to still be five or the four of you
just work harder and I'll? Give you all arrays and will do this
and the man who work with four people you'll just agree to work on it and I'll be really give you all raise, and all four of us is looked at each other and said yeah with absolutely and did she
a good deal. She did because the four who are left were her better employs as it and now I went away just took it up. Ten percent easily.
we get more money. She get more productively with one less person to worry about totally.
Now I saw this reproduce over and over again in my corporate career, the boy,
so we come in and say we're gonna. We have got ten percent of the budget or the people just ten percent of anything
and everybody was now ten percent weekend.
ten percent, and then they got ten percent. Didn't even notice, didn't even those so
we're talking about a covert illnesses and that sort of Tudor ten percent range. I feel like we'll be fine now the problem is, is that if you get a cluster, they had something this critical, which is really like
we actually isn't. It is pretty likely you can have a week where
something really important, just doesn't work at all, because they were just too many people in that one little cluster very likely, but that would also be temporary right because that would resolve itself in a week
People just come back to work, so I think we're going to have some really sloppy supply chain stuff, but is not going to take us out right, will or will not be taken out by the splashing you'll, be fine.
if I ran for the Senate, this would be my wife.
And only promise just one promise and that's it: I won't vote for any bill. That's miss label!
So, for example, I wouldn't go for a voting rights bill. If that didn't explain exactly what is happening in the bill.
And I wouldn't vote for eight infrastructure bill that wasn't only infrastructure and that's it
now, basically, I would vote against everything right realistically, maybe
few advice for us exactly the name for that, but
I would just say now,
the Patriot ACT, I think, is a special case because nobody was really confused about what that was so, if nobody's confused by that's different, but if the name of it is by its intention to confuse as opposed to just persuasion is one thing: if you see somebody selling something other selling, at least there just saying, is good cause or selling it you're completely aware of that. But the public is not completely aware that a voting rights bill,
not be exactly what you think it is, or an infrastructure bill might not be quite what you thought it was, so I just vote against them all and say the minimum. The minimum thing you have to get right is that you're explaining to the public what the hell you doing, if you can't do that, don't give me anyting like I'm out on everything unless, unless is plainly stated
Otherwise, no, have you noticed that the word coward is new Hitler. Zimbabwe. Anybody else noticed that assumes
three years ago, everything and longer
was Hitler, learn, learn. Cassio tromp was present everything's Hitler.
and now everything especially under the pandemic
but also other topics are we're. Getting is cowards, somebody's, a coward.
So one of the stories today is that the Youtube or Ethan Klein who's got real big, very big poker
And he said that he was going to delete, is old interviews with Jordan Petersen, because blah blah was a gateway to the all writer. Something now I know, think Jordan peers and is a gateway to the all right and intimate even selves, just sort of ridiculous. But we must not my opinion,
Not my show essential and we could do a lot, but here, but the post millennium wrote an article in said that to quote Cowardly
Youtube everything client lease interviews with Jordan Peterson.
To appease woke audience now hit my bed and you might have been appeasing, but was a cowardly, healthy. He it'll, save II believe,
What is done why? Why would we? Why would you read his mind? You remember cowardly, do trouble how much trouble Bill MAR got into when I think was wasn't nine eleven when George Bush was saying that the term
this work, cowardly bill MAR was just calling bullshit on it is like
they literally killed themselves for their cause. You can hate them and call them.
Other name. You want, but the one you can call them is cowardly. Why would you pick that and of all the thing,
and of all the things that are true that you
Say about terrorists, the insulting and bad? Why cowardly and will be the weirdest thing de Gaulle, anybody now that now, of course, I'm taking this personally, because people are saying that my decisions about anything pandemic currently
are based on fear, to which I say I didn't
says that way I mean, I think, I'm
our authority of what was happening in my own brain.
But I am also the trade hypnotist and so on. I think nobody makes a rational decision about any of us, so I don't think my decisions were
national, but I know that many of them were based on fear and alone how everybody else could now? Because did you read my mind,
I'm is the lowest level of analysis is what I'm saying. Basically,
I'm somebody Hitler because you know agree with them- is not too much different from say their cowardly because they made a decision that you agree with that. Look like it was a popular decision. Sometimes there the reason that the popular
Asians are popular, because a lot of people are on their side, even if you don't like it
so, I would say I guess
moreover, a writing. Tipp though it is of a billion yellow Lebanese,
In this way, this is a writing. Tipp, not an opinion. If you get it,
right. There's somebody else's cowardly, just know that it looks like you didn't. Do the work like like you didn't put enough thought into it.
Can I say that it is more like a comedian who'd who curses alot, it can be pretty funny, but then all respected, because to ease,
Colleagues, somebody Heller: why do we have to see that again just stop calling people cowards is just there's no insight there
Well, right on schedule, when.
Nobody was saying about yet not everybody,
but when the right was saying the January six having produced and the insurrection charges.
but to get charged with sedition. Now I don't know anything about the case, but he's a guess coincidence that, just when the narrative required somebody to be charged with something closer to insurrection, though we get us
addition charge. Let me ask you this: how likely is it that whoever got charge and again I don't know anything about the case still gonna say this confidently, I dont think they'll be a conviction
do I dont even know anything about the charge is
a little bit too on the nose. If you know what I mean,
timings a little bit too perfect. It looks like they need to charge somebody so that the charge itself becomes the story and rip gets rid of that. Nobody has been charged for something the sounds like insurrection problem. I swear to God. This does not was like anything like justice could day. I mean it could be a coincidence,
could be there's somebody did something actually that bad, but I so don't believe it. We don't have a system where you can believe that more than the benefit of a day
is so removed. Now from our government and I'll say it again. If there is any doubt whether that sketchy, you have to assume a sketchy, because the government is to prove to you that they're not fuck and the public s now for you to prove it. They have to prove to you that there are not screwing you for political reasons and not all feel. I don't feel I got that case. I don't feel that whoever got this addition charge, you better bring the goods, I don't think they will and then I think subways
I will be destroyed for their narrative. If I had to guess less what Louis it looks like it's happening, do you trust anybody? You says I've got. A big old list of experts were all on my side. Here's my list of people who signed a document
look at all these experts on my side does that every persuade you is becoming one of the least persuasive waste
persuade you know some of you got off the ship with climate change because he said, I'm not sure all these people are saying this and then, of course,
another list on the other side and people say
one look at the people on that list. Where
Everybody should have lost it. The belief in the list persuasion,
is when you that seventeen intelligence agencies agreed on whatever the hell? I was you remember that
intelligence agencies. Do you remember who was the first
person in the world to tell you what that really meant. It was the creator of the Dilber Comic Strip.
Let me tell you what seventeen intelligence agencies agree, always means. It means one of them did the work
and the other sixty and said with a wide trouble yeah what you said. Let us get us and
the one who did the work, it wasn't the whole agency that did the work. It will be, maybe a team of five who did the work, but the team of five wouldn't be equally.
powerful and indeed were appointed by one person who got to pick who was in the team,
which already tells you what the decision is gonna be. So, if you ever see
Seventeen intelligence agencies agree, you're automatic Matic thought process should day. One person decided this and that's exactly what it was or something close to it. It was
pretty much one person and they read your soul. Does all these people are here to new and new examples?
There are two hundred and seventy doctors apparently want Joe Rogan
censored and Spotify
or some kind of treatment? That would give you access to the alternative argument. I guess so their little been opened on how to do that, which is good and we support.
How much are we trust two hundred suddenly doctors well
doktor blown, has his own list of experts.
I guess the two hundred and seventy were even doctors where they sat the story. I think some of them weren't even doctors, but a lot of them but Doctor Malone, who is the subject of the controversy
she was on Robins bug ass. He has sixteen thousand doctors who agree with them is,
Sixteen thousand sues better the two hundred and seventy one Jerome
censored or at least show the other side better.
Sixteen thousand doctors who agree with Doctrine Malone that things were pretty good the way the way it worked out. Well, you probably should know the Doktor Malone happens to be the head of the organization
within which the sixteenth at tortures are so basically the head.
the Organization Guys organization to agree with them.
I dont know our that was, but I'm not sure gives that any credibility
no believe any list persuasion. What are they
one of the greatest things that doctor below is doing right now and
I mean this seriously and is complete
the left field, that any of this is happening,
there. He is the one who's talk about the mass formation psychosis and making that a a well known fact,
now in some senses is what I've been talking about without using those words are quite that approach for a long time.
but because he was on the old, Joe Rogan and it was tied to the pandemic. Yes,
he's getting a lot of a lot of traction on this, and I think,
really gonna change. How we think of things like in the future, not just on these topics but the future, but still I care figure was different about it, because the the key to a seems to be that if the people in charge scary you enough, they can get you to do anything did. Do you not know that already out? Many of you didn't know that if the people in charge scary, you enough
they can get you to do absolutely anything. I thought we all knew that, so I don't think there's absolutely everything being added by this all asked formation. Think there's! Nothing is absolutely empty and yet is one of the greatest legs ever because people don't think it's empty,
what they think is that they should pay more attention to mass perceptions, are being managed and that my friends is one of the most important things has ever been done in the history of humanity.
doktor alone. I don't know if it's, how much is an accident or chancellor skill,
I don't know what it is, but he is
in many ways single handedly re framed reality for a lot of people. Didn't refrain for me is that this is where I always have been released.
I learned this stuff, but for a lot of people, their learning for the first time that their opinions are not real. Think about that. He is basically the person who took the less say the academic ideas
of how we're all persuaded and sort of through the Joe Rogan experience, and I really not that much to do with his main point of expertise but became ie, but because he got so much attention was associated with it. And these credible and other ways he brought this completely unexpected thing into the consciousness of the people and in my opinion this is the most important mental
switch. That humankind has had, since maybe understanding that the scientific process was important. Something like that. I mean this is enormous and I think you quite realising it
How much this Lisbon seep into her full understanding of who we are ass human beings in the same way that, in the same way, the trumpet changed. Really everything about how we understand fake news and reality itself and persuasion that the importance of it
having the facts right, you changed all of that and it looks like
Malone is is now like putting the frosty on their cake, for another name is like he's completing his completing the baking that the UK, you say, a trumpet was half baked, but I mean definite got the cake start anyway. In my opinion,
Well, look at that. Second, I asked a bunch of people who think that a liter destroying the country through this- the problem
Peters Soros is- is promoting or funding to the vaccinations to the was stealing our privacy.
the open borders, so all bunch of a things
and I want to give you a little test and cognitive dissonance. So here's the test,
one of the tells I tell you all the time it's a lot of people,
same opinion, but they all have a different reason for it. What does it mean if a lot of people have exactly the same opinion, but they all have completely different reasons for how they got their means,
cognitive dissonance, because if a lot of people of the same opinion, but maybe they're just two or three reasons- rather they got there. That might just be their opinion, but if that, if the opinions or just crazy shit- and it's all over the board
probably told you something. So I was asking the questions and on twitter and
I asked: why does anybody want to do what we imagine is happening and here the types of answers I got.
I got the policy, the central banks are
you dating into global dictatorship, which was always end game. I got that the big money likes big volatility. I like it. When you shake the box, it gives the people on top the ability to consolidate more
I got follow the money then they'll based budget.
they want to fundamentally transform the fabric of society from western Capitalism two's statist socialism. Why did they won't do that and then
they may what they may want to be doing these things, because they believe that
doing good.
and they take your reshape american society in creating a global, great world
They ve been trying to remake they, whoever there's a bench
and you society since the french Revolution, so here's my problem with all of these. First of all there they seem to be all over the board
Rwanda are the least not competing with each other.
Is everybody like trying to make Soros the king? The other billionaires, want that you think that
make sense. So who exactly are the elite is TAT the bankers.
So the first question I have to ask yourself is in this conspiracy who do they think is gonna, be on top and why
the other problem. If you understand economics, you do not believe the shaking the box sort of randomly anyway, it's gotta be good, for you
Anybody who is smart enough to become a Soros like billionaire
you'd have to understand how things work, and why things that the one of the ways of things work is, though,
the way you get the richest is with the most capitalism. There is no exception to that. If they want to have more richness,
our and their already billionaires, airs and captains of whatever their doing more capitalism is the way to get more power.
There's nobody who's gonna say I made my billions with capitalism and now to double my power,
I'm going to destroy law and order open the borders and go to socialism.
Nobody who's smart enough to be an elite, would have that opinion.
and if only one did that wouldn't be enough. Does there's gotta be some kind of conspiracy going on here, so I am completely confused.
use of Davos. I mean people are just throwing a random words at me: Davos, central banks, none of it connects
Because if you can tell me the person I'll tell you why I can't be that person, somebody says control listing
that so let's say they have enough money, but what they want is control and made. Maybe more money can get more control, but power hoo, hoo.
Oh sorrows, are you saying that losses
elites, are helping sorrows.
because I want him to be in power. The other elites or are they competing
and do all the elites think they'll be the winners as they destroy the system. So do you think that when you get to become an elite billionaire,
you suddenly believe that your best interest is to destroy the system that the poor you in that position.
Some others say that the volatility is good. So, but but do you see the problem that people have different opinions and that the Ross
will throw in the rush answer to the raw? Are bankers? Do you know what bankers dont want socialism? There's no banker want socialism, I mean, if you're, trying to get power, because what got them their power is what they do want more of. When people get power, they don't become more reckless
they usually become more conservative. So I don't know what's going on honestly, so I don't. I don't have a competing hypotheses to say you're wrong, and so I'm not to say any of you were wrong. I'm saying that something's going on here, I don't know what it is, but to be. It doesn't look like any kind of conspiracy of the kind that you think it is and if you did come up with the name and how that person actually could imagine, it would benefit them to get power in anyway. Alright could be
Maybe they're going for the materialistic utopian one of the ideas. Only centres is like the knock out game and that the billion years are just trying to not things out because they can or or sometimes people just like
The fancy things burn. These are the actual answers I got this or in some also. Some people are thinking that we need to deep opulent
I'll bet there are no billion years, who think we need to deepen copulate about their zero. Do you know why? Because you cannot become a billion. I know you can say gates, you don't get to become a bill gates billionaire. Unless you understand that more people is better for the economy. No bill gates was talking about birth rates. Birth rates are not depopulation. Controlling the birth rate. You could argue the good or bad that, but that doesn't mean
if your people total that that's not a thing, I'm sure by another bad week, so bad that so bad that Courtney, HOLLAND, joked that it was a good week for Jimmy Carter, because Jimmy Carter is no longer the the worst prison in the world.
and here's my question about button. Do you think that anybody who supported by regret it.
I just said that message to one on one of the people: I talk to a lot about before the election
who was quite sure that Biden would be real, solid choice and Trump would be a disaster, and I just wonder as it is mine changed, because of that not
I'll bet there's still some way to justify their everything's. Fine,
It is probably surprise you a little bit that I don't think the Biden administration is as much a disaster as you do. I mean there's some real notable failures, but is hard to imagine that they wouldn't have happened with a different present that the things he's not fixing other things that are currently not fixable. The exceptions would be there's something with the rapid testing this really wrong, but it was wrong under tromp as well. It was just as raw material or the border would be yet that ok are given the border near the border
be a clear example of a just a mistake. Afghanistan is interesting because you have to assume that there was a better way to do it.
What were all geniuses, because we didn't have to do it right now. It does seem like there was a better way to do it. I'll give. You have Argovie Afghanistan, at least in the political context. That would be judged and unambiguous mistake, even if you don't really have something to compare to in scientific since politically that son and vigorously mistake they are, but I think the the other stuff will get worked. I agile.
ok, you talk me into it of watching all the counter arguments rubbing by either the pipeline, the energy that the January six political prisoners, the inflation,
that I think the only differences I have lower expectations of what a different present would have done. So there's no there's. There's no argument. There's no argument that by then the shooting the bed he we agree that the mandates mandates. There's no argument that bind is just. Do your bad job. I'm just say that you don't really know that the who ever Elsie other
It would have done better job you just about it. It is pretty funny when I say the lisco by Gaza, because it is really really is the worst press we ve ever I'm trying not to experience at he shouted Freud as anybody others
experience yet so schadenfreude is when you feel good, because somebody else feels bad and when Trump lost and invite and one that fell bad to a lot of you who are probably transporters. If you watch in this and I have to admit, I probably fell bad and then I wanted to be right right. We are, we all want to feel right. We want to be vindicated in the end and what do you see by living like the record low
approvals and even his own team is strengthened, tried to I take him out so that he doesn't run again. He's that bad he's so bad. His own side is trying to take him out.
And when you see it, if you're a trump supporter, I'm just gonna, ask you this question confidentially. Just between us did it make. You feel a little good to see Biden labelled as the worst president of all time limit.
Don't worry come on because you know the same by
labelled the worst president of all time and will, as you just noted, with reasons it's not even like it's just like emotional stuff is, with reasons good reasons, lots of examples. You tell me that doesn't make you feel good, because your vindicated, but.
But on the other hand, I don't feel good about feeling good you, because it I mean is sort of the worst of us. That's that's that
human beings showing their worst personnel trade? If you're feeling good about somebody else feeling bad don't feel proud of it punish there? I sometimes I can stop smiling about it when I now feel good about it unanimously.
So I think there's a more pressure for the public and things on February, one in terms of mandates- and here I thought.
is coming out in this new CDC mask guidance. So can we help before I talk
We all agree that we all want to get rid of the masks. If, if it's a big, if, if they ever made a difference, they don't now
right we're on the same page right. If we can start there, then I could talk about some things that are fun and we don't have to fight about whether masks
ok, so cause I'm not in the argument at all it. It doesn't matter. If they work. Can we agree it doesn't matter if they work like that argument, doesn't have anything to do with anything.
we all want to go away, but so the CDC said this
and I watched the how they chose the words, so the new guidance as to where the most protective Maskew can. That quote,
that's swell and that you will wear consistently. What does that sound like that? You
Where consistently and fits well there, you can wear consistently. I feel like they're. Giving up right
Doesn't this feel like the beginning of the the transfer of control.
my reading too much into the there is.
foreshadowing of the transfer of control from you'd better? Do this too
Consider this right is more about use. Your judgment now.
Are you saying, or am I getting too optimistic, because I think I think they can read the room
and there starting to Justice
CDC, would conform to political pressure. There will conform also to public pressure, so I feel like at this point. We are actually driving the cdc, not the other way round.
February first start to look pretty good, especially with the shortage of your rapid tests, if the bass don't make much difference with on the ground, we haven't seen any impact on the news I now he
Miniature other things and then go to save something for the end, because some of you will be alone for that now, I'm going to do this now.
If we're on the same page, that masks
seem useful at this point in the pandemic, if they ever dead. That's all different question.
Can we agree that masks are emotional emotional, like people really have opinions about masks.
And that when things are really emotional, that's when you get cognitive dissonance in both ways
I would like to confess what I believe
is behind my own decisions about masks. Now I've never been in favour of basque mandates. You all know that right. I've never been in favour of S mandate, but of warn them.
various times, and I feel as though my own opinion is shaped entirely by non rational forces, and then I rationalize it after the fact. Do you think you do?
How many of you think your own decision on mass is really if yet you're being honest with yourself is completely emotional, and then he rationalized after that? By do that now, I've been I've been accused of using fear, as my rationalization and I've denied that be
in the sense that I dont internally it I'll think of it that way, but I do have some irrational feelings about mass and I want to share them with the number one.
my special situation as a celebrity, I kind of like the anonymity
I liked being able to go to the store and there was less chance I'd be recognised, especially since I do this now now. Should that influence my decision issued and right cassettes like personal in its war emotional, does really ever impact on my health, so they shouldn't effectively, but about it. Does you want here another one, I kind of like that in the grocery store, the other customers are not breathing on my food, especially the vegetables. Should that influence
decision on mask hell? No hell, no, it wouldn't be. A rational reason is an irrational reason. Do I like it when I go in the restaurant and they let me take my mask off immediately, so I can enjoy my time
but the server, whereas a mask as there talking directly above my food, I kind of like the server big mask so that they'll have to think about the spray from there talking falling
My food is at the house. I've ever hurt me. Probably not. Is it rational, probably not because you're always filled with people's spray and food and chip is in the ear rash
thought so I do have a whole bunch of irrational feelings about masks that probably are influencing what I've decided is my rational decision about them. Would you agree jet, wouldn't we'll talk about me?
You don't have to talk about yourself yet. Would you agree that I have probably made up a mask opinion based on my irrational forces and then rationalize it after the fact how many of you would agree that to be true, a lot of you right now? I don't know that that's true, but it would
formed my own opinion of how things work. So the weird thing is I can both be. I can have a firm opinion.
that I'm not being rational at the same time
I don't know, what's wrong with my thinking you might, but I wouldn't be able to see it. Somebody says now do vaccines. We will get to them.
So we could ever really fun discussion and the next moment, if
release on the fact that
I'm telling you I'm right me wrong. Can you do that? Can I is that fair,
Can you release on the fact.
I'm arrogantly tell you I'm right in IRAN because that's not my worldview
My worldview is: we're all banking, irrational decisions and we're all rationalizing after the fact it'll just make it easier to do it.
I wanted to do a little test unto the other day to see. If I could have done this before you now trigger cognitive, dissonance intentionally now the way you would triggered intentionally as you get somebody to say some.
out loud in public. That is inconsistent if you force something
to say something this inconsistent with our own opinion.
There will be triggered into cognitive, dissonance and you'll you'll, see all the signals and I've taught you most of the signals will go from.
So I asked a few questions that were designed to trigger cognitive dissonance. The topic is masks, but I don't care about masks and I don't feel that my opinion on them should influence you cuz mine is probably a ration.
Man, drowning you're, so lost some of your so lost
Here's a Year'S-
The questions that I asked and the answers.
if you Didn'T- have any no keep in mind these questions are not meant to be like really scientific poles.
the they are meant to be coercive right. So when you say that
question isn't fair. I know that I know that these are not fair questions but ass this twitter to see what workin reactions.
again, I said, if you didn't have any credible data to guide you, your decision would
these risks seems larger to you.
So you don't know anything else, a support, I'm gonna tell you now snow use anything about the pandemic. Only
What I'm gonna tell you know, which do you think, is more dangerous, being exposed to a military, great bio weapon or be exposed, in other words, taking a vaccination. They got fast tracked again to get rid of my mask up here. Does
just say the same thing. You know him. I so wish you think taught toss up. It will be a toss up
Because these are two things you don't know anything about. You dont know if the mill
Jerry by a weapon was complete. You dont know if it was meant to kill people like you, we don't know, but the
definition of self also as a bunch of unknowns. But what did people say so
and then I, the most dangerous would be the vaccination plus the Bio weapon
so now, I'm not saying that necessarily the covered is a buyer weapon. I I'm not saying that I'm saying if you believe there was which would you
was more dangerous and I was a little boy
we definitely scared of bio weapon that was actually designed to be unnatural. I think some people think the viruses
role and the vaccine is unnatural, but I think what
then was designed to kill you and one was designed to save you. Would you rather take? Would you rather be exposed to something that was designed to kill you or something that was designed to save you?
Now again, you don't know anything about either one of these you dont know after they were designed correctly. So if you don't know the buyer weapon actually would kill you. Likewise, you don't know if the vaccine that was designed to protect you.
I make it worse, you don't know you have no other information
cuz, we don't know in the long run what the coronavirus will do to you right cuz. It hasn't been the long run and you don't know what the vaccines will do in the long run. Just hasn't been a long.
So but people are strong opinions on despite having zero information.
The way I would have been influenced by the purpose of them. I would be more
fraid of something that was designed to kill me, then something those designed to save me even knowing that both of them could have been designed imperfectly, but I would have no no data to back that. That's just like a feeling. I is another one.
which would you prefer if he had two choices and only two choices.
would you rather have somebody who is infected with covered breathed erect,
Into your face or to breathe
out the size of a mask, go I ask you the same question. Would you
a further people, breathe covert directly into your face or out the size and tops of the mass.
So a lot of people, fifty one percent said they were
refer to have their coverage sprayed directly in the face and that counterfeit Anthea sides
Does that sound, like people are making decision completely rationally? Does it.
So here is why I decided about why people have different opinions on masks. I'll bet you haven't heard this frame before everybody looks at everything through their own experience right side,
scientists are saying how big the holes, how big a virus, the.
The non scientists are just saying: do do at the officials tell you.
so people are all over the place, but I feel,
like I always looked at mass with an engineering perspective. Did anybody else do that? I know there's a lot of technical people watch this, but those of your engineer's, and only for those of you were engineers I'm going to I'm going to run by the this hour.
And again, if you just joined the US, we don't care about masks. We all want them to go away right away. There's no argument for against some really really talk about cognitive dissonance.
Here's the engineering argument. If we know
the higher the viral load the worse then
It should be obvious to everybody with an engineering sense. The blue.
The virus directly into somebody's face without face mask would give them.
Or viral load. There's no there's no engineer. There would disagree so far in the short run, talking about the short run, but let's go
long run where you're talking in the same room for a long time, and now the level of covert is building up in the room.
Now, just for the engineers.
If you wait long enough is at the same level of risk as if the entire time the covert was going directly into the face is at the same level of risk. Once you ve reached the same.
Duration, point I'm say Lhasa yeses. Now, that's not fair. I need to see you're an engineer and then
so the only answer I wanna hear is: I'm in
junior and then yes or I'm an engineer and then now and everybody else.
Everybody else's go silent for a moment. We only want talk to the engineers just for a moment.
engineer depends on the half life for the virus. Thank you.
there's. Only one variable is appealing Earl.
Engineer says yes, engineer, says no engineer says yes, equilibrium, engineer too many variables. Thank you too many variables. That's it.
Answer, I'm gonna give you my engineering take at this moment
engineer, yes without disbursement, here's. What I think is the correct answer.
a hundred per cent of the virus blown into somebody's face versus the sea
a man, a virus remembers the same person talking all time so that
I'm a man, a virus is gonna, be directly in the face before
It goes in the room or it's gonna be
more in the room before some one percent of it goes in your face, which would be which are those would in fact you well. If you believe that any exposure and facts you then honour preserve the people, get infected and all the situations would you agree when you grew that that, if you could,
it's the only thing you're talking about is, can you be infected? They became the similar in the long run. Is everybody great not the same,
will it be closer to similar. If, if any
little bit ex aspersion like COMECON. If his
the problem here in the room, I think you got it, but what about the viral load.
Do you think you'd get the same viral load? If you were occupying your head is occupying one percent of the room. I mean far less than one percent, but if your head is occupying one percent of the room, the whole time you're in there, but the virus is spread out in the whole room versus the plume going directly in your face
The entire time, let me ask the question again: if viral load matters not whether you get infected or yes or no, that's not. The question will all take a yes on that if we long enough with Omicron colleague, infected we'll take a yes and infected, but if viral low
matters and the experts say does, which one gives you more viral load go engineers. You have to say it
engineer and then tell me which one which one gives you more via reload engineer in your face engineer in your face engineer in your face engineer, direct engineer,
in your face. Ok, so I think I made my case when you talk to engineers or people who just think like engineers,
you almost always can get the same answer right. I mean correct me on that engineers right, sir
for everybody. You said that face mess, dont work, because scientists said you know that the mask is. Does this and ninety five
that's a sort of the scientists frame on things the
engineers- and I always I tend to take more of an engineering frame because I spend so much time and that world I'm not an engineer, but I have just given sort of infected by the frame to me. The face massing was never even ambiguous to me having stuff sprayed your face. There's gotta be worse. Now let me let me end with a joy
This unfair, may I end with an unfair joke, because analogies are always unfair right, but sometimes our fun. So many people told me that it didn't matter if you're wearing a face mask cuz. It didn't matter if you're spraying the covid directly into my face or just bring it into the room
just same result. The same same result. I realise that before when I was cleaning a stain on my countertop take the the cleaner spray, like a concentrated spray red on the stage,
like clean it, and that would help me get like the right amount of the cleaner re onto the stage
but now that I've learned more about how covid work. So now I just sort of walk around the room and I just spray their little bit and then I clean the state and, ladies and gentlemen, was what I wanted to talk about and by the way, I'm completely aware that the people on my twitter, my twitter poll, who said that they would prefer
the cove and be sprayed directly in their mouth. I understand that there are making a different set of assumptions such as you already or vaccinate or you ve already were infected, or you think is you think it's just the coup for you'd. Rather, have your freedom I get. I get that this was not a real pole. There was no science. Ok, so we all understand that, but.
I think it was fun it if you could release them. The fact that I'm sure I don't know the right answer about any of this cuz. I rationalize my stuff after this act. Just like you do,
isn't it fun by the only one who enjoys like seeing if the cognitive dissonance can be triggered and then just do something with it? The people and locals are more likely says one or funding Joe Biden.
Then somebody said: do the same thing with vaccines. So I've told you that I'm not gonna get boosted and Andreas Back House challenged me on that privately and
so? Are you sure about that? Because it should be a study. The said that people were boosted, Attica,
to which I say, I don't think you can test the long run until
the long run this here right? How can you
Possibly know that abuse booster is going to not increase your chance of whatever in the
My understanding from Doktor Malone is that there could be a long term clots or whatever so does it make sense that if two shots can largely plus the amateur on its two shots plus being in the in the Koran world, if that basically reduces my risk of dying to zero, and it does not me personally just just me personally, why would I add the extra risk of a booster, her something they couldn't have been tested in the future,
I've already decreased, my wrist zero. What would be the point of so and then I also influenced by history.
every time you hear somebody say the reason my product didn't work is cuz. You didn't use enough of it.
Is a little bell, go off little alarm because morning warning
That's a lot like oxy article, which was exactly what the actually people said.
They said. Oh, it's not getting really
you're paying all night like we promised, and it was the main reason you bought it. Try w that didn't work. I've got an idea for you. What are you double it again that didn't work here somewhere out of the box?
thinking? Why don't we double out again that literally happened least according to the dope sick movie about assuming that was accurate, that's actually weapon.
The other thing I hear is that people are getting like sick of horror
How many of you have had this thought that the people
who the people who got vaccinations if you added the total number of sectors of the people who got vaccinated. Does you know you miss that, like their work? Well,
would it be more or less days than the total number of sick days from people who are actually infected code? That's that's a serious question. I dont know the answer that deal, because if you vaccinated
everybody and then multiplied everybody by an average of one day lost work or maybe half day, if you took the average, don't you get two more lost as a productivity, then all of the retired people were eighty five and died of Covid feel like the vaccination should have. If everything we know about it is true and I would be taking the numbers that even the pro vaccination people would give you, which is yeah, there's a good chance you're going to miss a day of work. Maybe that was what they promised us right. They promised us there's a good day, there's a good.
Mr De Day, I'm that was over right that there's nothing between the lines. They said that, if you add all that up, is it more or less than what we missed with covered.
most people are here of like Georgia. Just setting one bad day was over
talk over the other one bad day. Now I bad know might have been the worst day. I can't imagine with one bad day, maybe one one really bad day. I guess that is all I ve got for now. I all I've got topics, but my technologies workin today, linguistic forgot, any topics, but my technologies go tell a liberal
Go get your fourth trump shot and might job that's not fair. I don't think it's fair for you to persuade people on vaccinations, and I don't think it's fair for me to do it, which is
I always tell you are not yet even though apparently some people here at the other way, but this was no doubt about it.
The best experience any of us have ever had it's called coffee with Scott Adams. The best thing that's ever happened to you and it'll happened tomorrow and it'll be even better. Alright, bye for now.
