Good morning everybody, and can we take a moment to just delight in the beauty of my shirt. Now it's just a t shirt. I know, but sometimes when you get exactly the right color, that fits your eyes. Well, you know that just tells you it's all going to work today and believe it or not. Not only is this a peak day for me with my good shirt and everything, but you too, you too will be joining in in little ceremony called the simultaneous up and it will signify and kick off one of the peak experiences of your whole. Damn life and is called coffee was Scott Adams and you begin with a cup or mug, or a glass attacked her jaws inside a campaign, Jogar flask. What kind of vessel Eddie Guide, fellow the favourite? Liquid, I like coffee and join me down for the unparalleled pleasure.

It's the dove leave here the day turn on that dopamine faucet, it's called the simultaneous simultaneous happen, happens now all over the world. Now, if you're watching this live in the different time zone. Just wait an hour doesn't work like that. Alright, well, there are some such things happening today. You might want me to mention somebody is somebody thinks my cup is empty,

Does anybody want to audit my coffee, coffee cup, all right spot on it? You called for an audit here. It is we'll see we will adjust our cameras for auditing Wah Wah, it's coffee, it's the real stuff. I was a little watered down.

The ah, what you're seeing now is one of my broadcasting tricks. I have to put a towel on my desk, otherwise the lovelier things will be clacking around. Yes, that's a little bit behind the scenes. If you're listening to this on the podcast you're saying, can you please change the subject from your shirt and your desk towel, because those things I cannot see when I'm listen I know I've told you before the way you should listen to this live stream is not like others, so you're, not a you're, not a passive participant you're in the conversation with somebody who won't stop talking, but that's okay, cause. You have things to think about and do anyway, you're working out. You don't need to be part of the conversation

you can just listen to me babble. Let's talk about Biden and the laptop have I I told you, the story about the cat is on the roof. Yes, I have I'm not going to repeat it. But the idea is that you say the cat is on the roof to soften the blow, because you know the cat's already dead, so you say: well, it's on the roof and then the next day you say: well, it's the fell off the roof. You will see how it is that you sort of slowly break somebody into bad news and it's called the cabin on the roof. Allison binding on the laptop story that started out with leaped up I don't know what you're talking about what laptop. Have you ever heard about such a thing that turned into? o, o thou laptop or will you talk about the laptop? That's the russian disinformation.

Yeah yeah, there is a laptop laptop, just information, Laptop it is ok, it's is a real laptop is now so, maybe it's not so much russian bluely real. The laptop is well known that the contents, but that laptop, is real that belong to. But okay, the emails are real yeah, obviously they're real cuz, they can be lots of them have been so the ESA real Emil's. But the thing you have to understand is that there is no kind of crime suggested Well, ok, there's plenty of crimes suggested there in the evils himself and if you read them plenty, but the important thing is as of today: that they only involve potentially.

Hunter Biden and maybe Joe bought his brother, but there's a time there's nothing on the other would implicate that the big guy, oh wait. Guy the big guys actually Joe Biden, who is actually implicated on the email all right, so the laptop is real And the emails. are real and they do implicate President Biden, but I am sure he is implicated in nothing. That's going to matter, By the way have I mentioned, he hasn't been convicted of everything. That's right, sure it's a real laptop and really males in it really does implicate Hunter and it really does implicate hunters uncle, but It does mention Joe Biden in the very same plots for which those others are implicated.

But it's nothing to worry about because he hasn't been indicted. No court has ruled that Biden has done anything wrong. Am I right? Am I right? I mean, let's be honest: no court has ruled that Biden has done anything wrong, yet that's how he handles Eddie Eddie Good NEWS about Trump. Whenever they talk about Trump's YO, so called legal problems. and they say well, Trump hasn't been found. Do you have any of those legal problems yet? they always throw in that yet so Joe Biden is completely clear of all legal problems related to the laptop has not been indicted. yet I do

There is a great article in the hill by Jonathan Turley, whose pointing out the narrative has changed from you know: that's not a real laptop to as real, but but it's not really so much problem. Alright,. And even the Washington Post now you're a rebate sorely tried to get ahead in the story a little bit, so it does look as if their clipped, the cord and and let punter and maybe Joe Biden his brother, let them dangle so they can save binding law enough to get something good going. Do you have any idea what the hell the Democrats are planning is seriously what what the one. Those meetings sound like I mean that's the question.

And that whoever's the yeah we imagined to be the big powers in the Democratic Party. What exactly do those meetings look like now? Do they say I think we can ride this Joe Biden saying out? Alright, it looks bad now, but trust me. It's going to be a Putin situation. Yeah. It looks bad at the moment, but he's going to a down it'll be fine. Does that say that? Is there anybody on the the side of let's just ride this out? I think we can get through four years and and maybe even another Democrat elected. Probably not right they're talking about not that what are they talking about Is there anybody who said you know? I think what would really work is why don't we replace Biden with the least capable and least popular vice president of all time, while I dunno, if that's true but let's just say, she's, not among the top I dunno, maybe Dan Quayle was worse. Somebody would have to give you a fact check on that

Speaking of couple Rasmussen as a pole,. About cobble heiresses popularity and fifty six percent say they have an on. favorable view of some kind. Only I presently have a favorable view as before percent of the voting public in the United States. Believe is that the vice president of the United States is unqualified to be present weight. Look up the one thing we should all feel fairly comfortable with now. I completely got the idea that you wouldn't like the politics.

Vice president, so you might say. Oh that's, that's not the politics. I would want in office, but did we really really really? Did we just elect a president who is a thousand years old with a package with a vice president that fifty four percent don't even think she could handle the basics of the job, though she she'd get lost commuting or something like that after reminder of what her job is every day or something I dunno you're right commenter I do, Look good in this color blue shirt to say it wasn't just me it's the fact. Aha, so seriously, what the hell are. The Democrats saying I mean honestly. This is just a completely legitimate question. What do they say privately to each other?

Did they just say well we're just screwed we're going to have to shake the box of live with? Some Republicans were for twenty six years, and or are they saying you can't change our minds in public, but we need the Republicans to save the country like are there any Democrats who don't want to publicly change their opinion of anything? But privately they're thinking, I really hope we lose this time because the winning doesn't working out. Do you remember when Trump said that we get tired of winning a bet? You thought he was talking about, republic is done. The do you know is tired of winning I'll bet. because are pretty tired of waiting right now.

Because they won that old presidential thing, they got the Congress winning winning. Looking good everybody. do you think they're tired of all the women Things are tired of winning they like to lose one for a change. Am I right honest to God? I think Democrats are hoping to lose some of them. I mean everybody's individual, but don't you think there are some democrats saying? I hope we lose this next one some? and then the news is also about the news, as it often is, the news is about the news. Oh, let me ask you: A little poll all on twitter which of these two incidents. Seymour Indicative of a crime committed by a president, so

situation involves the most evidence, so it's the most evidence. Are the? U dot S president involved in a crime? Is it providence about Joe Biden and the laptop situation? there is a more evidence that President Tromp did something illegal relative to January. Six which one has currently so we're not talking about where it might go, does anything might happen, but at the is more. Is there more solid public information of crime on the laptop or the January six event. Can anybody correct me if I'm wrong so far, there is zero evidence of a trump crime? Am I if I wrong, because you know you always worry that you're on your own news bubble but- well. Anybody see seen outside the bubble, I'm not sure if I do

Haven't I read CNN every day. and I haven't seen anybody- I do sample MSNBC and cnn- I sample Axios all the time. I don't remember seeing any of them saying there's a specific crime, even alleged am I right, Is there even an allegation of a crime there's an allegation that something happened, but not not based on any specific fact pattern right I don't believe, there's an allegation of a fact that was support. The idea that Trump committed a crime am I wrong. I'm making a weird just takes a tween in the allegation of a crime which does exist, cuz every side, every side blamed each other of a crime, which means nothing in politics. Right so doesn't mean anything that you say the other side,

a criminal, but if you have a specific fact that if it were true would premium, but say oh somebody's, that somebody's something bad are alright now, so you lot of you were pretty confident in my Paul does this reflects my audience. Does really really. we reflect reality. But ninety four percent said that way. She I may have this backwards. I think most people said the laptop was the the one that looked like a series And let me ask you this: what what crime, as the laptop suggest? Can you name one? What would be the crime, the actual crime, that Joe Biden would be guilty of?

if all of it were true, let let's say the worst allegations based you based on your really speculation. At this point, I don't think we have enough from the emails to to know one hundred percent of anything, but it looks like a ninety five percent likelihood up. The yeah I mean I'm seeing lots of suggested possible crimes, but I'm not sure that there really is one because I think is completely legal. Isn't it isn't influence peddling completely legal? Now there there's the the the first thing right, but nobody ever gets. Nobody ever gets convicted that it seems to me that you've got this like slate and lobbying problem. You know the foreign lobbying thing, but almost nobody goes to jail for that, because it's so common

Is that the worst is that it? That's that's the worst yeah I know, so you have to be careful of the fact that you think your team didn't commit crimes, but the other team did the most likely outcome. Is that nobody did? because bore everybody, accuses everybody of a crime in the political context. Have you heard the phone calls yet phone calls of who do so? Probably probably because I don't know what they All right, what do you think about slippery slopes go survey to add something to this? I was talking about it and you're sick of it. But do you think that you can identify a slippery slope and then use that idea to

like the features like how this just started its a slippery slope. Searches slide in that direction have anything as slippery slopes verdict. Right now, as far as I know, there's no science to back your opinion or anybody else's about whether they predict plus, let's walk through this a little bit. now. What do you say that a straight line prediction is a slippery slope. In other words, let's say climate change says that we're going to keep going in the direction of more and more c o two and climate will warm. How often is a prediction that says things will keep going the way they're going. How often is that right? Well, depends how well your timeframe is right If your timeframe is really short, then it's usually right.

Things usually go tomorrow, literally tomorrow, like twenty four hours from today. Things usually are the same as they were yesterday. What if you yell go out a hundred years, it's almost never the same so has to do with your timeline. So when you say when you say, there's a slippery slope: what are you leaving out for how long If it's a slippery slope between today and tomorrow, I'm going to say yeah yeah Probably, if somebody did something today that worked out, they might do a little more tomorrow that that is correct, but if you said, is this a slippery slope for ten years? I'd say well, first of all depends on the topic. I suppose it was something that changes quickly or or does, But probably ten years you can't predict anything. Do you know who says that everybody nobody disagrees with

There's nobody in the world who predicts anything about anything who believes that anybody can predict years in the future. That's not a thing! So if there's no projecting of ten years, the slippery slope. Probably has. At least you know a limit in terms of time. Would you not say so, my view was even more harsh on the slippery slope. I believe that start start with a conclusion and they reason backwards and the reason I think that is because that's the only way we think it's not special to this topic. and unfortunately it's something that hypnotists learn on day, one that people think backwards. We we decide and then we we reason backwards to why we decided we don't we don't think of reasons and then decide. That's purely an illusion: there are probably some exceptions like a

scientific process, for example, but the way you normally just navigate your life is you make decisions, and then you come up with some bullshit idea of why you did it Yes, totally against my philosophy for my entire life, but the reason I did it this time is because I had a bad cold and wasn't thinking straight. We just have dumb reasons for everything yeah. So here's what I think the slippery slope is: it's a backwards. Rationalization. we just say to ourselves: oh I'm afraid Actual happened. And now I need a reason to support why I'm afraid of something irrationally? Oh there's a slippery slope. There we go. I've reason

words that the thing I'm irrationally afraid of has some kind of logical path to it and I'll call it a slippery slope. Isn't a slippery slope of thinking past the sale. Let me think about that yeah. I guess it is. The good part, if you say something's, a slippery slope you're making people argue about how slippery it is and not whether it's going to happen at all yeah. In a sense, I guess it is not not as direct as most things I will and being asked. Will russian

continue to love Boon, let's change the topic and I say the burden. That situation is a perfect example of the difference between wanting something and deciding, and I talk about that distinction in terms of personal growth and success? Wanting success? Doesn't give you much of anything but deciding to get. It probably gives you everything and until you learn that distinction, it is hard to get off the couch. Sitting around wanting things, buys you just about nothing,

but decided you're going to do. It means that you're going to eat whatever garbage you have to you're, going to take his little sleep and do as much pain, you've just decided right, for example, I didn't want to go to college. I didn't want to go, I freaking decided and yeah. I was surely surely there were obstacles and reasons to found at different points, and but I decided so once you decide it just simplifies everything. This is good This is really going to hurt if you keep doing this yep. Yes, it is If you do this as a risk, you'll die. Yes, there is a decision. Just simplifies everything and the question about Russia comes down to as Putin, decided, or does he just want, whatever you whatever it is? He wants that we're not exactly sure about

Does he want it or has he decided because he's decided well then you'll get it cuz you'll get it at any cost. and certainly seems to be in the realm of somebody who could absorb large costs and make it work for him at least, and maybe even make it work for Russia. I had to say, but he may be sacrificing a lot in the short run or what

It turned out to be, like the you know, like some kind of Thomas Jefferson, Land Deal in Louisiana purchase and when we look at it a hundred years from now, you might be looking at this big, prosperous Russia that Putin built- and you forget about how brutally was going to say. Well, he he sure was successful. Sorta, like you do with the Genghis Khan like when we talk about you as a Genghis, Genghis Genghis Khan, which we we sort of talk about. How awesome it was right how much territory a conquered and how many children his sire through many concubines and whatever we don't really talk about how amazing we often he was like beyond. Probably anything we can. Imagine and put. You could have the same thing. So if Budapest

I did I'm pretty sure he'll survive and will end up with more territory, and somebody says it's a genius or changes baby. So if I had to guess- and let's do the the armchair thing where we we try to imagine that we know us and Putin said you know, good luck with that. If I had the gas, I think he is decided. What do you think as it has food and decided to take Ukraine, or does he just want it, which would say He'll take something we're or less than what he wants. Look at your things could be mostly ice. Alright, looping back to the slippery,

I mean the slippery slope. Isn't everything right if Putin takes? Ukraine is a slippery slope until he takes the Balkans? My right, that's! The argument is that if you can get away with it, why wouldn't you go on So here is my counter to the slippery slope. Besides the fact that his backwards thinking there's a better frame. If it, even if you imagine that the slippery slope is telling you something and it is predictive and unless I The moment that all acknowledge that I think is, some cases, it's kind of productive, just not all of them and this. So let me just say he had in their server. There could be a domino effect aura. Follow the leader or you guess, in people's minds is era, but here's the better frame follow the money. That's it. If you have to frames

both predict, but one does a sixty percent of the time, good prediction, which would be very useful If you have a, if you have a way to predict the future, that was right, sixty percent of the time, I think you become a billionaire right, I mean, if you could do that. I dunno that anybody could do that. Has anybody ever predicted the future sixty percent of the time accurately I dunno that'd, be a lot, but if you have a different frame that can do way better than that which is follow the money I I assert that follow the money works at eighty. at the time and that the twenty percent you don't know about usually, is because there's a time lag so so folly that The money is still to work. Just hasn't worked yet right like there might be an intermediate step that looks like it's not working, but it's going to work. If you just wait till all of the money works. Basically, eighty percent

maybe over time. So that's my argument against the slippery slope issues, not as good as other arguments, even if a kind of works or other frames What do you think about the question of whether Russia is winning or losing or Ukraine is winning or losing? Based? The propaganda that you seen is Russia, willing or tell me, was wedding rush or Ukraine, whose winning. Though this is just based on what you see in the news because you're not there all right so there there are two frames while you're, while you're washing your answers there. One frame is that the plucky Ukrainians have driven the Russians away from give which certainly had to be their main objective, and

since the main objective of taking over the capital and getting the, seems to be pushed away. That would suggest that Russia's is losing and maybe they're trying to just hold onto the territories that they already have. So that's one. one narrative, the other narrative is that military it always tries to quote shape the battlefield. This is sort of the Scott Ritter Narrative, And that an army that shapes the battlefield,

Do things such as try to distract the other army try to make them think that your your motive is over here, but it's really over there trying to bog down their military tried to basically change the landscape by inserting variables that just make things difficult for the other team and yeah I'm seeing in the comms they're shaping his military doctrine. this brief. Pearly is just ordinary military way, so the more warden airy way to look at what Russia is doing is that by threatening Kiev, which would have been too expensive to take which we all thought was the case right A lot of us that that taking care of would be such a bloodbath that there's no way that food and could do it and and make everything work of you just speak.

So instead it looks like what they may have done and we don't know, but it looks like what they may have done. Ok key is give whatever you thought call it. Done, is surrounded keys in order to keep the Ukrainians busy there so that they could consolidate things in the in the this. The east and then once they were done there, they would consolidate their armies and then really completely, on the parts that they are in control and then move toward taking whatever else it ain't, so they could basically force keys to submit without indirectly attacking which would be the best way to do it now Suppose you said yourself all these military experts in Russia they they've heard of this right.

It's not like you and I are making up making up military doctrine, seems like it's fairly standard stuff, so. So this would be supportive of the theory that if Putin has decided to take Ukraine here, he always had a long term. That he that he always had a long term view of it at the idea that you can take a KIA or KIA? capital? The idea that he can take that in forty eight hours might have been russian disinformation? it may be, Russia is the one who started the idea that they could take over in two days, so that everybody was looking for the blitzkrieg that wasn't going to work, but they never plan to do that anyway. They always planned to do with the the slow slow.

Now I saw dust of that twitter that I don't believe that there that only one thousand non military people have died in the Ukraine is that yeah I'll talk about just the citizens? Population, that's not right! Is it only a thousand casualties among non military people in Ukraine, we're not talking about the russian side yeah that doesn't sound right, but what if it is, what if it is right. Are you sure I don't know if there's any way to tune out at this point, man yeah, so I mean

Let's, let's put it in the obligatory one thousand. Is too many? It was a tragedy all right now, let's talk about the. How many? If you saw the clips of what look like civil war crimes in what was it Buca or Buddha, or something that one town that the Russians have left. and you saw a video that we have not verified. We meaning anybody, If I had video of what looked like handcuffed prisoners who had been executed and dumped all over the road. How many of you believe that that was a real video and not propaganda. And how many of you have a she'll reaction, which morphed a little bit as you heard other people away and.

Now, what I've been doing recently and I'm not sure that I'm doing a good service here, that when I see one of these videos, that looks to be like it's at least possible or even probable propaganda. If it's being promoted by any kind of legitimate source, I'll usually start out by just tweeting or re tweeting it, because it's news which is not you endorsing it it silly. But after of digesting things for a few, sometimes maybe the next day I'll tell myself, you know, I'm not sure That we have sources ready, that that would be easy to fake and everything else is vague. So why would you believe

and so slowly I can talk myself out of everything. That's my first reaction, so my first reaction was probably like everybody else's, which was oh, my god. It's that looks like the worst war crime we've seen since world war. Two, I doubt it's the worst one, but you know in terms of consciousness. It feels like that Then what happened was a number of voices on twitter, in particular or did it doubting the accuracy of that video and number of people pointed out income income grown sees I dunno. If those are true, I'm not even sure if they, I dunno, if the critics were accurate in their what they pointed out either but You saw the narrative sort to give up. Didn't you

I feel as if the the media did say they couldn't verify it, but they still ran it and made you think it was real as war propaganda probably worked really well, so whether was real or not I mean it was packaged as propaganda by the Ukrainians. So. Here's what is interesting so the the the narrative comes out in the fog of war that there's this gigantic war crime is very suspicious because of the source of them and yeah. The situation.

I believe that the the the wave of belief was turned back by what I call the internet dad's now to be a little less sexist. I'm not saying it's all! Male, okay, and I'm not saying people have your children are usually just a general phrase here. So the internet dads to include internet moms and and everybody else, but but there are yeah, you could call it. The adults in the room, but people have been, I get the dad so I'll, just use that and MIKE sorta, which I would say chief among that group and that group has enough influence now that I feel that the major media had to pay attention. at the internet, dad's people with credibility and big followings. Words that look like bullshit to them. Now.

as that any of you washed it closely enough to feel like that's what happened. or wasn't going to happen anyway. Because because I feel like. I feel as though the balance of power is really starting to change and at the same time that this other force is sort of developing that the other I'll call them independent voices, the other podcasters or their tweeters, or people with big audiences? I feel like the counterbalance was, really productive? This time? Don't you did? Did you see the same thing I saw now in the context of the The internet dad's balancing out the major media. What's

biggest obstacle that the internet dads have working against them in the comments and see. If you can get ahead of me here, what's the biggest limiter or limitation that the internet does have Possibly the algorithm I don't want to say censorship, censorship, because. if you say censorship, that's it reads, intention into something that's not demonstrated have intention. Yet, as a fact we can see what we think is the effect as alleged effect. I guess, In the context where we worry that the only thing limiting the this, the sensible counter voices to the on sensible news, Elon Musk, just bought the biggest share of twitter than anybody owns. When Jack Dorsey is like several times more

shares then Jack Dorsey currently owns Elon Musk. Who was asking about censorship and about you know the the big platforms? if he should start one put his money where his mouth is born. Nine point two percent of twitter this morning. and now he's the largest shirts are older? I shall give you a disclosure here. I do owned twitter stock and I do own tassel stock and I tried to sign up for a true. It's a social, but I couldn't get in and there's a like a. waited story to all these stories that choose social, I think they lost one of their people. Who is managing that thing and it doesn't look as though the launch was successful. So far all looks like it's late and it's not on Android and it's not on the web

Yet so it doesn't look like it's successful and it's not going to help one bit that Elon Musk just bought into twitter, because sure social should be a solution to what people believe in censorship, but Elon musk becomes the most influential voice and I know that that can happen, but will say if he Elon Musk becomes the most influential insider twitter. What's the first thing he's likely to do I? What was the first change he's likely to promote if he had to guess and here's the weird part, here's my guess. I think they're first changed that you'll own musk is going to make just a guess is Jack Dorsey's play

Where does that? Because jackdaws has been saying for how many years, though he thinks the platform should have your choice of algorithms? So if you just want to see everything that would just be your choice, and if you want to see a filtered by somebody else's filter you'd see how they filter her and you just use it now I always wondered. Why is Jack Dorsey saying that the platform should be like that, but I saw nothing coming twitter that was going to do that thing. Did I miss something like why? Why was the most important voice. Twitter said we should do this, but it wasn't happening and four years or did it happen then it was in some small way that I didn't notice.

So then Jack Dorsey leaves who knows who knows what the story was behind, that right: shareholders, blah blah blah blah personal reasons who knows, but then must comes it? I can't think of anybody more likely to implement Jack Dorsey's nurses plan. Maybe Jack Dorsey didn't own enough stock to get it done, we I mean yet. If you stay anywhere long enough, you're going to develop you developing competing interests and other shareholders and stuff like that So Elon Musk comes in with probably nothing except

a social agenda. I doubt he bought this as a pure investment right. Can we all agree with that? I think we would agree that Elon Musk did not buy twitter as a pure investment. Do you know why I don't think he invested stuff like that is not really. I don't think it's his wheelhouse really. I think he did it for purely social reasons and he broadcast it. He broadcast as cleanly as you could broadcast any message he asked in public. Should I start a social media at work. Do you think that censorship is being handled writer? However, he asked her so he's being as transparent as anything could ever be, and then he is

going to take that same level of transparency that he's taking into this transaction. I think he'll take it into the product itself, because remember what Elon Musk is more than anything is a product guy he's the ultimate product guy in fact maybe Steve jobs, you can say, but it's hard to think of somebody who is more product, oriented, vs marketing. Let's say that in fact, Elon Musk does the product so well that he doesn't need marketing. He just does it himself tweeting from the toilet, as I like to say And so the only explanation is that he's doing it to make twitter more transparent and it would be kind of embarrassing if it works, meaning it would be embarrassing to the other any other platform that doesn't, but I would not want

to be owning gather or any competitors twitter? Because the only problem Twitter has, in my opinion,. Is the one thing that Jack Dorsey said it should do and hasn't done yet, but Elon Musk knows how to make a product work. And there's one thing: that's wrong with twitter: it's just it's just broken. Am I right It is a product that just has a glaring flaw and the guy who taxes glaring the flaws, probably make some crazy? Can you can you imagine being somebody who the you, the engineering physics, your product, design, knowledge of a deal on musk and then looking,

It has product twitter and see it's just massively broken in this most critical way. The transparency of the algorithm and and the censorship element, and knowing you could just fix it, just just buy the damn thing. Just now. My guess is that he's tiptoe again: see what I can get done with nine point. Two percent. probably a lot, but that's not full control right Now I would also guess that will be some large number of other twitter shareholders likely to throw in in a proxy sense behind Isla and spoke well okay, I'll use myself as an example, so I own I own stock in twitter if Elon Musk said hey, Have this I dunno vote I'm going to push for a vote.

Can you make sure they use? I'm your proxy vote. If Elon Musk asked me to sign it because he said this is how you fix censorship outside the falcon and I never saw those- I never do- that- it was a guy somebody else assignment you'll do they'll get enough people signing their proxy. Then you know I don't have to do it. I never do it, but if you're given given the Elon Musk credibility, especially in the the specific domain, censorship and he's very consistent- and I think I think most people- almost everybody- would think he's on the right track if he opens up the train. so I think Elon Musk is correct in his first assumption and again, this is all just speculation. I can't see inside his mind

as I often say, if I could see inside Elon Musk's mind, I would have started Tesla. Why would I wait for him to do it? I would have built myself rocket ship to Mars. If I could do what he could do, but see inside his mind, and neither can you but it's him, from an outsider's perspective. If you, to limit your risk. While getting the most leverage, you would buy a nine point. Two percent of twitter that's enough to get everybody's attention and say: okay,. I'm the lion, king of shareholders,. and then just organize the other shareholders is easier to organize the others and then to buy their shares, because I think he could, uniquely he could not many people could do that or who else could really it'd be hard to think of somebody else? Who could. all right. So Twitter stock was up like twenty one percent less developed and-

They said I own both tussle stock and twitter stock, so so discount everything I say by my bias. How many of you think that truth, social is going to work because it will, it will attract. Basically, nobody on the left who disagree is right and what would be point of it. The reason I'm on Twitter is cuz. That's where the the mainstream media is. That's where all the energy is is the mainstream media decides to choke truth, social and they will I'm not even sure that the right wing or less, I like to say right, leaning. I don't even think the right, leaning press is likely to go big on truth. Do you know why

Its competition through social is just a news network, just packaged as a social media known. So, if you're in the news business, I'm not so sure you want them to succeed there. So. I dont know how to use will solve the problem of not having enough energy because there's none of conflict. You, if you take out the thing that makes it work the conflict. Why wouldn't work.

Okay, we have thirty times the followers untrue social, so you think shadow banning Israel. What could it have to do with the fact that there's nobody except people who agree with you on there yeah right? The problem? Is everyone agrees? Okay, alright, ladies and gentlemen, that Is the amazing amazing meat of the show we are now in bonus territory right this bonus territory, this is the part where you tell me what I forgot to mention: yeah, it's the best show ever you're right. Stop it. I'm embarrassed now to to, to you know, low locals somebody's, making a comparison between truth and locals so locals as I'm on.

A subscription network- that's different, because I don't think people are there for the fight on locals. I think people are there because there's a you, usually the central person as a point of view that they, you know, enjoy more and more of and anything. So what I've put when I put material on locals, I think of it as just entertainment,. And also as the edge stuff, so I can even put the stuff there that now does anybody know snoop Dogg, I'm going to do a Kevin Bacon thing here. Anybody does anybody, know Snoop, Dogg didn't Carmen. Carmody is. Go to high school with him and here's why I want to invite Snoop Dogg to my man, cave and

I want to interview them and see which of us will last the longest few know what I mean. perfect example of something that I can say more clearly on the locals platform, wink wink, but here on here on Youtube, it's more of family friendly environment, and let me just say this new dog and I could have a conversation and maybe compete possibly fix all the problems in the world. add, and you might say to yourself. What are the odds that Snoop Dogg would come to my garage say. The odds are really really small, but it would be amazing what if come on it would be amazing. So one of the things I'm thinking of doing is doing man cave or interviews

But I only want to do it if somebody can come to the man cave and don't want to do remotely, and so there you go yeah you'd watch. You know you'd watch. Alright. Let me ask you this question aside from Snoop Dogg. Aside from them, who would be the most interesting thing I could interview and think about, not just as an interesting person, but somebody that you think I? U neatly would be the right person to interview either because of its entertaining or at any rate, questions or something. So who would be.

in Trump all right. Let me tell you something that I can guarantee you hears as a guarantee you, the me interviewing Trump will be the best Trump interview you ever saw a guarantee of a guarantee. I don't know how I really do because I think everybody does it wrong. Do you know what they do wrong? Let's see if you know How does everybody do wrong and then, by the way, I'm good May one exception.

I've seen one person, do it exactly right and I think I could I could do something in that vein as well. Yeah Greg Duffield, I think Guff l does did the best job because he humanized him like you could tell that they just liked each other and so like he got. He got like a little human look at it, and so I I I think, that's the thing I could do better than better than somebody who does interviews for a living, because I think when you do interviews for a living, especially depending on what platform you're on you're you're sorta, driven towards to a certain level of professionalism that I think distracts from a good, a good entertainment and that's what the that's, what Greg Garfield gets right. He nevertheless the professionalism or ruin the job

Do you know what I mean as soon as the professionalism is more important than the product? Then the product suffers, but he does product first professionalism. Second, so you get him, that's why he has to hit shows. Be Ben Shapiro yeah. I don't know that me interviewing Ben Shapiro would produce like in the headlines. I think I would just agree with what he said and then there would be no spark there yeah Jordan Peterson. That would be interesting and I'm especially interested in his religious.

Interpretations of reason, which I want to look into a little bit. I want to hear in his own words, because I'm considering that one of the most I say unpredictable evolutions that I've seen I would not have predicted Jordan Peterson's. Isn't it isn't a change? I don't even know if it's a change really, maybe it's just something we're hearing more about, but I think it's of evolution to a more religious frame and I'm going to say frame because I think he puts it in. I think he puts it in terms of your living there as if it's real.

Is that true I hate to try to paraphrase other people. He says he doesn't believe it literally just has that he likes the utility of it is at it, because I wouldn't be far from my own view, and my own view is that if you don't know my view on religion, is there another personally another believer, but I'm very pro religion, because it's just so obvious it works. I mean why would anybody be against something that works now? I dunno that there's a science behind that, but the only the only studies I've seen are that people ever Faith based view the world seem to be happier seem to me more prosperous, seem to do fewer drugs, the other something about thinking. There's somebody is watching the all the time and the loves you in his judging you. I guess.

There probably has some, you know some guard rail effect on your behavior and if, as long as people have a choice yeah they can, they can enter a religion, they can leave it, which is the America as those ever choice, if their picking a frame that works that works for me now in the old days when I was younger and dumber. I used to say whatever it is. I'm thinking today is right and all those other people how dumb could they be her? the older you get the if you do it right? If you do it right, your humility should increase, not decrease So I started out with no humility meeting as pretty pretty sure I had the whole God situation figured out and and other people didn't and was something

and but the log you live? You realize that more and more things I thought were clearly true. They just like you ve operate. If I can tell you how many things I believed were absolutely true five years ago that I'm talking about a lifetime of having truce evaporate like every year, something that was true disappears again I mean like really big stuff, I'm talking about really basic things about, even who you are like a a belief about like what happened to you in the last five years, just really basic stuff, and so the longer I live, the more humility I get, because everything I think I believe now I have a little message that says: yeah yeah you're, pretty sure this time aren't you.

Many times you've been sure before. Yes, you do. Yes, you do you do know, you do now, don't change the subject. You know how many times you are sure before and then found out. You were totally wrong. Do you remember that I'm not trying to think about you to really think about it. Think about it. Scott, don't know, don't not think about it. That's how a cognitive dissonance think about it. So that's something you can do as you get older, like you're. If you do it right, if you do, right. You will remember how many times you were wrong and that was one of the motivations behind that book behind you that beyond me, where I'm pointing that had a shell, it almost everything and still big by cataloguing all the things that I feel that it was both a reminder to myself how many things I was sure about that?

didn't work out, but also a way to tell other people that even people who you for whom life worked out fairly well that were wrong. All the time. I mean that the number of times were certain and wrong is shocking, no matter how successfully you end up so in that they all speed will understand that their their own, Sir deed, is worth question. How sad to take the sub This guy, though out and just embrace the utilitarian aspect. Well, is it sad or is it just a frame that works for some people and not for others now? For me, the the simulation hypothesis is the most predictive. So you're here's another protection there will now

it'll? Be anything true about our reality. Whatever you call the thing that is not also true for a simulated world, meaning that a simulated world would have resource constraints, it wouldn't have infinite memory. You know, it'd be a bunch of things, we'll be true, true for software, so my prediction is: there will never be anything true in our so called real world that isn't just as true for software, because we can never get out of that model. Very specific protection, so we'll see

The somebody says, God is utilitarian Interview SAM Harris again yeah, you know, I'd love to it'd be good. Kanye would be good. Maybe Connie would actually do it. I mean it'd be more more of a resource question. He can't be everywhere and do everything Alright, that's all I got for today. Oh Bill Maher, oh wow. That would be interesting. imagine me having bill Maher on and having a video prepared to debunk the fine people hoax and the bleach drinking hoax and just say just two things. I want to talk to you about and that's it

I just want to show you the full video and then tell you what you show you what you saw and then I'll tell I literally personally interviewed people who attended the Charlottesville thing found several of them? Who claim that they? Is that Wall racism and they were just there about the statues and the historical element of it. And just see what he says because here's the thing, the thing that I I keep saying a bill bill Maher about why you so dangerous is that he is he's a shape. Shifter will that sounds that sounds If I mean this to be positive, he he is capable of entering your bubble and looking around. Who can do that and really who can do that now? People if people a really small list of people who, in just walk outside their bubble, if they choose to write, is the choosing to that is where that

Challenges, but if they want to have a reason to- and somebody alerts them to a good reason to do it. They have the ability to open their little door and walk out of there little little bubble and knockout bubble and go inside and see what's happening. There's only a few people can do that and he's one So a conversation with him- if, if I could, you know invite him into the other bubble, just to look around just to check out the furniture it'll be pretty interesting, would that would be really interesting? Alright,. and if there, if there was anybody, I thought I had a shot of getting to the man cave. I would think the odds would be pretty good in his case and Russell brand will become more productive with your persuasion frame yeah, you know Russell Brand

honestly. Is it my imagination or is he also able to? I think, that's the context you mentioned him. He does seem to be able to check everybody's bubble. Doesn't he my right about that? Those? Have you been watching before yeah and Joe Rogan same thing? Joe Rogan is bubble, free and people will try to characterize him in one bubble or the other, but I don't think it sticks. I think he is bubble free. Yeah, I think Russell brand found his exact place. Don't you you know. I I like, like him as a stand up. I've liked him as an actor.

but when you look at his talent stack, if you look at his verbal skills C, said the point of what's the point of being doing scripted material when you have his his capacity like that's a complete waste and he should be in an unscripted, you know some ice scripted and bounded. Unscripted is a scenario and that's what he's doing so and that he also doesn't have like constraints right. There's, nobody writing lines for them until you do this more of that, so he is really there and yeah his service as a carless brand's awareness. As an m d t mushrooms is off the chart. That is correct. He is off the chart.

So now he'd be an example of somebody that I don't know if he- and I would have any reason to talk, cause we'd end up disagree. I think Chris Rock yeah he'd be the hardest interview in the world. Matt Damon. Why Matt Damon, be I like Matt Damon, but why Dave Chappelle oh that'd, be interesting. I don't think

Damned well, I probably couldn't get anybody to come, but alright, that's all for now, and I will talk to you on Youtube tomorrow, oh and before I go, I dunno if anybody's noticed this, but Madonna has slowly evolved into Georgia. Banks and I didn't want to be the first one to mention it, but it's important see it tomorrow.
