The good morning, everybody and welcome to coffee was God Adams, the highlight of your day, probably the best thing. That's ever happened to you. Would you like to take it up a notch with you, yeah yeah? I think you would and all you need to do, that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker, chelsea style, canteen, jug or flask of vessel of any guide fill it with your favorite liquid. Have I mentioned I like. Coffee enjoyed me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine another day thing makes everything better. It's called simultaneously happens now, go so far so good. What do you say? I think after a great start, and what do you think.

With the mentors, So it looks like the latest- is that, according to rasmussen the publicans or up by five points, a generic republican verses and generic Democrat with anyone days ago. Do you think that will narrow? Do you think that will narrow? I believe it will, by the time we get to the election of a problem, we'll be much of a gap there at all cause everybody just reached. Thirteen always does yeah always does so it turns out that dissenters is not gonna get away. With his stop woke act which restricts colleges and universities

from the discussions or race and gender. So do you know what's wrong with restricting freedom of speech in colleges now. Why did nobody see this coming? How can the government respects free speech of college it get aware that they can. Apparently apparently, is most obviously you can't do so wall dissenters has done on this long, winning streak of doing the obvious right thing to do for his base in any situation this feels like a year. The shells like an error: doesn't it using the ecology? Colleges can write a private, a private institution can, but the government can't tell a college what to do.

In terms of freedom of speech, so there's no way that the government can get away with telling you what you can and cannot do right in terms of speech. They can certainly change what they fund. If there's a new funding, Do it well. Also ebeneezer butter looks like colleges will get say whatever they want Let's talk about the sam harris situations again because there's an update so as you do the famous rational person, the same errors and some people you'd think he'd, drawing his career by, noting that he was happy that hunter binds laptop was suppressed by the left as a conspiracy

if I add that it probably made a difference in the election and he thought that that was fine, because the there had been similar, your laptop related things hillary's, what's wieters laptop yeah, it was a factor in the first election with from vs, Hillary and so samaras was a well if trump lost because of a laptop thing but maybe also won because will laptop. Then it's not the bay. signal the world as probably share, because in some heiresses view trump is so dangerous. That gaming in this system, a little bit was probably appropriate in terms of specifically in terms that laptop thing now, of course, people A lot has been said to him: does everything that you would justify the election being rigged, which is the obvious next

right, and so you want to tell us that he did not think that so years? Here's is full answer. He said, there's a part gas. The clip now, here's what you should listen for. I want you to listen for the specificity of his answer. It's a little too specific, alright, but wafers if he catch it. So it's a it's a multi part tweet. I said this there's a podcast clip circulating. That seems to be confusing many people about my views on trump, which is understandable because I wasn't speaking very clearly so for what it's worth. Here's I was trying to say so now I am a proponent of forgetting what he said before. If a clarification is being offered so forget about what he did say

he's got forty eight hours. According to my forty eight hour rule that I made up to clarify and if he does try to clarify you should just take the clarification. Don't don't try to be somebody up about what they said if they are clarified so I'm on board with him. So far, less look at the clarification and sort of ignore what he said before I like. That is a standard. Even a few things. causes people to lie or backtrack or weasel whatever, but I think we should just keep. That is a social standard. If suddenly clarifies just take the clarification I am so he goes on. I said I was essentially arguing for a principle of self defence. Interesting, so The idea is that trump is dangerous and therefore our citizens would have a right of self defence, and then he goes on where there's a continuum of proportionate force that is appropriate,

that's his ideas. So again, I think he's going back to Is the wheeler laptop made a difference in one election? Maybe the buying laptop makes a difference in the other direction than that those would be roughly equivalent. I think that's the oracle, I've always view jump as a very dangerous person to elect as president of a fake university talking about trump unit let alone the? U s and whether it be he was sitting president who would not commit to a peaceful transfer of power. I viewed there's more dangerous still, however, I've. Never then, under any illusion that he is orange heller? What. So here. You say that he is not under the illusion. That is orange hitler, which is interesting because when I talked to him on the show you did they did allude. It is make it were hitler analogy with trump, so.

yes, the hitler analogies are not to be taken seriously. Ok, so he doesn't compare trump to orange Then, on the podcast he goes on, I was speaking narrowly about the wisdom and propriety. of ignoring the hunter by laptop story until election. I've always thought that was hard call ethically and journalists decline. given what happened with the is the winner laptop in the previous election. I think it was I believe the right call here. Here's the part you want to look for the specificity, alright, look what he says and then what he doesn't say so watch for what he doesn't. sigh. This is the important part I goes on nothing I said on that. Podcast was meant to suggest that the Democrats would have been right to commit election fraud. Talking about twenty twenty.

Or take other illegal measures to design trump, the presidency. Nor do I think they did that. I saw what he saying is that he did. He didn't mean to suggest the Democrats would have been right to commit fraud. He didn't mean to suggest it. Does that mean he doesn't think it cassettes. Deaf or right is one tat was one thing to say: I didn't mean to suggested, which is an interesting ways at, How about I didn't mean to say it, but we are what I do say it ass. If it was confusing, I change it but interesting. He didn't mean to suggested. Doesn't really give his opinion about? Does it I didn't mean to suggest it is very different from that. Wasn't my opinion.

I feel like when you say I didn't mean to suggest that it means I didn't mean to say it. It doesn't mean it doesn't think it. The end. We don't know what he thinks right, I'm not I'm not pulling the thought into is mind there. my imagination. I'm just say that didn't specify that it wasn't his opinion. He simply specified. He didn't mean to suggested slave. The different you can imagine them being the same where you could imagine that he meant them to do the same, but they don't sound exactly the same. Do they sound a little different Eddie, Nor do I think that they did that. now whether he thinks they did, that or not is irrelevant to whether they did that or not, but I didn't mean to suggest that it would have been right to commit election fraud or other illegal means didn't mean to suggest

It feels like we still don't know if he thinks it would have been a good idea like why not tell us directly because here's the thing, if it's not a good idea to regular election to keep tromp out of office, why isn't it isn't. That is a good idea. If you believe what you say about his danger, there will definitely be a good idea. I would do it if I believed what they believe. I will read me legs. Would you

Would you, if you're keeping a monster out of the office or yeah, I think he actually compared trump to an asteroid barreling towards the earth, because, if you you imagine, let's say you imagine from the left point of view. If climate change is going to destroy the the world in some some fashion and you think trump's going to make climate change worse, it's kind of like an astral. coming toward earth? I, and somebody says that if you break the law they'll, do it you? What about that argument? If you choose on the election, they'll do to you. I was a deal with the fact that everybody who can get away with Does it already? I mean we live in a world where everybody who can get away with stuff? Does it it's just whether they think they can get away with it, as the only thing that

lets people in the real world? That's it. I thought they could get away with it pretty much everybody would do it pretty much now you think you're the exception. Okay, I get it you're the exception and people in your family are awesome. Now people people do what they can get away with that world eleven now getting away with it includes god watching you right. If you, if you're a religious person, you believe, god will judge you. so that might not be getting away with it in in your own point of view that would not be getting away with it because being watched by god, but You didn't believe god was watching and you didn't believe anybody else was watching and you didn't think there was any chance of getting caught. You would all rig the election. I know you think I'm wrong, but I'll give you my opinion just an opinion. I can't prove it. So it's just a just my view of the world. One hundred percent of the world would rig the election

if they thought they were saving the world if they thought they were saving the world. One hundred percent would rig the election if they thought they could get away with it. Nobody was watching know, god was watching your conscience, while your conscience, I guess you still have that yeah now I I accept that you don't agree with me. I accept that you don't agree, but as a positive, in my opinion, very rarely by this sure about an opinion, but I'm positive about this one. Now you can say there will be some exception right if you today, Million people, you can guess somebody to not. Do it. Definitely The ordinary person would. Save the world if there was no risk, that's what I'm saying.

Now the ordinary person might not destroy the world for their own benefit. That's true. I can see that they wouldn't destroy the world just to get a little extra gained. Some would someone, but everyone would break the rule to save the world. Is there that's what was happening. Everybody would there be exceptions we so rare. They will even discuss them. It would be crazy people stuff, like that. As I want? I want to see if I can get somebody to say say right here in the comments this scenario that you would breaks the rule, because the other rules, the rules and were a rules based people buy you want. Break, tell me you wouldn't break the rule, even if he thought it was the end of the world. it's the under the world. Unless you break the road you breakthrough.

How many would break the rule to prevent at the end of the world. You would not So there are people on here who would not would not break a rule made by humans. There would let all the humans die, you would let all the there are people who are actually saying that in the locals platform, yeah and and people are confirm it yup people say yes, they were let the entire world die, because, following the rule is more important, you actually say: alright, I'm not misinterpreted. The others are there. Actually a number of people who would just roy, the world too, to protect themselves cassettes? What that is?

if what you're doing is is not breaking the rules. As you can't break the rule, that's really protect yourself at the expense of the entire planet and their people say they would do that. Protect their own feeling about your being a protector of rules, more importantly than all of the people who ever were alive all seven billion now, am I supposed to take you seriously? How can I think, seriously because you're you're, either lying or you're so stupid that you wouldn't be able to log on and have an account I mean, are you lie? Not nobody would do that unless you are like mentally ill or something now

Number by my situation is that you know the world is gonna be destroyed, as there is no question about it and you still do it now. If you are uncertain whether your right make sense if you so well. I don't know if trumps yell The end of the world, but I worry about it. In that case, I wouldn't breaker rule- would do suppose you just had a suspicion that things would go wrong with some candidate. I wouldn't I wouldn't throw an election in that case, not even close. I'm talking about you're sure that this candidate is just going to destroy the world or your share of it. In that case, sure I would break any rule. There was So the people who say that they would not break the rule even at the risk of the entire planet, now.

The real thank he has been revealed here. They don't believe the sat up, so in other words, I rejected the hypothetical that turkey could ever be a case where there would be any danger, because. We've it, if that's what you're saying then you're not gonna, answering questions so there s a problem, The reason that I ask hypotheticals is to force you to clarify your thinking. If you refuse to clarify your thinking, that's a message to us or something. but here is a problem with The sam harris opinion again. I guess I would be speculating and reading some minds a little bit here. It's a little bit unfair, but it's hard to avoid How can you be honest in this situation

and SAM Harris. I don't think he has the capability of just lie. It's all beyond his is framework because, first of all, I don't think I've seen an example of it ever zimbabwe. I don't think he's him than accused of lying as it. However- and this is what is pretty amazing when there's a public figure there. yeah we could all sort of have some familiarity with and as far as you know, that person has never tried to lie to you. You could disagree with them all day long, but they haven't tried to lie to you. So I don't think there's any viruses lying. Do no evidence of that. But what do you do if you're honest opinion? Is that so but he is so dangerous. The bending some rules might make some sense. If that's his opinion, you really couldn't expressly. Could you because it would be so damaging?

Suppose you are a person who only tells the truth and is really important here. You're psychological make up your brand. Your legacy is just real important that you tell the truth all the time and I think the same errors is pride. The best example of that his entire, your being is wrapped around rations, all the and being honest. So how does he deal with the fact that if he believes what he says about trump, it does make perfect moral sense to rig an election, but I think that is so dangerous to say that, because of that that gets taken out of context. Of course, of course it would be. Economic context and of course it would be used as evidence that it was rigged when we don't have proven that. So what

they really dangerous for forest areas. To be honest about the hypothetical there, if you believe the trump was his, How does he believes and you have the ability to read the election, the maybe it wouldn't be. The dumbest thing in the world. I don't think that they can say out loud what there actually thinking. Imagine? Having a PA point of view, that you're afraid to say out loud, it's common to all of us, I think, but I think the problem is that they actually can't say their actual opinion, because it would be, and it would sound disgusting. Even to themselves when they say it out loud, so if you have an opinion that you can't political opinion that you can't express in public, that's a problem

is afraid of being cancelled. I suppose we are they and this. This is more interesting than any of the other people in the news, because you know, while you don't know, but a strong assumption is not lying so thinking to think about how interesting this is the reason he's such a good discussion case not lying, not stupid, not under informed. When do you ever see that in all of politics, when do you ever say not lying. Not stupid and not not misinformed and that he has a different opinion than I do now. You don't know it, but I can know it.

I sell I'm not lying, I think I'm smart enough to be in the conversation. I think I'm well informed enough to be in the conversation to so. How do you explain? Of course this has become I think myself here, but how do you explain to people who are not lying they're? Both smart, both well informed and have completely different views on trump, and he explained that. Well, the the isolation I'll give us at one of us is experiencing cognitive dissonance. Then how do you tell which one it is? Do you remember my track for doing it? What's the track before saying who, as a kind of distance, the trick is is, if you can take the other side of the argument and give a full throated argue

for it to show that you understand it, but if you can't do that you're, probably in some other kind of the mental situation now I believe I could take sam heiresses argument and completely explain it. I dont know if he can do that with mine, probably good, but I don't know it, and that would be interesting one. How would you like to see, The two of us, you know say, talk, has split screen and we just do that exercise where I try to take his point of view and explain it as well as I can, and then he tries to take my point of view and expert. Explain it as well as he can do you think we could do it. Here's the interesting thing about we could probably could I don't think I've ever seen that before I've never actually never seen it. I've never seen anybody do that before it would be fascinating, but I suspect also- maybe we might think the other one hadn't quite nailed- it maybe left something,

we probably we probably end up pretty close on that. Alright, here's my there. I think that, in my opinion,. It looks obvious use experiencing cognitive, dissonance, camilo savitz, but It might look obvious to him that I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance, and how would you know who is right? You wouldn't really, unless you do that, exercise and we might both pass that as well. So here's what I would say about that. Before tromp was elected, the first time think it was a reasonable fear, Maybe he was as bad as the worst, the worst impressions right you didn't know. I didn't.

In the first election it wasn't empty possible that he could have turned into some kind of monster once he got an office, it wasn't impossible. I didn't think it would happen, but it wasn't impossible. So for years, go by and doesn't happen the one thing that many of us would disappear. With job is how he handled the losing handling the losing is the only major thing that justifies their opinion. I feel like ass, clearly cognitive dissonance. So here's the part that I would like to see SAM harris respond to what would be his response to the fact that a harvard study showed that two thirds at least two thirds of the people. at the protest believed that they were saving the republic. They honestly believe the lesson and been reg.

And not necessarily because trump told him they were. They felt that from the moment they saw the result. It wasn't because trump told them. Everybody thought. So how does the explain the two thirds of the people there genuinely in there in their deepest feelings, Sell something has gone wrong and there were there to fix it to actually repair the republic not overthrow repaired. I would? Why would choose urging the people there who believe they're there to repair the public or more? I think Why why? Why would you imagine the tromp was not one of those, because the majority opinion was that something was wrong and they need exit, though it was the minority opinion that nothing was wrong and we need this role overthrow the country anyway.

Yeah well, why would you imagine that trump would be signing on to the dumbest of the opinion when the smartest one is just right there? It's right there people thought they were saving the republic. How do you do you rule that out yet now today is a live. Stream will be a little truncated because my dilber careers and great jeopardy at the moment. So spending all my time trying to fix that problem? Is I've been drawing for fifteen years or something on a wacom tablet in photoshop and I think photoshop either changed how? the programme works or there's some setting or I've got a bug. I don't know

But I can no longer paste something and then draw on top of it. I mean I can manipulate some things. I can get it done, but the manipulation would take too long. I just couldn't use the tool. If I had to do that so I've. I published my problem on twitter for everybody. To give me advice, what do you think happens when you asked for a technical advice? Let me tell you that I will tell you to reboot which I have already done. They'll tell you to make sure you have the new version of the software which I have already done. They will also look at the screen that you give them and they'll say. Oh, your problem is that you have that the icon pressed, even though the picture so's is clearly not indicated, so some will hallucinate that there's a lock the set it's not you can see it clearly. Others will tell you scott, why don't you google it now you

Google, all day long you'll, never find the technical solution by google of you ever found a technical solution by Google? It I've tried I've tried about a billion times When you do it with consumer software, it might be different if your programming developer probably does the answers, but if you just using a commercial piece of software, what happens when you look for your answer online? It's all different versions will happen when I asked people. They sent me screenshots of what exactly what menu I should select. Do you think there is any chance that the screenshots the people sent me actually exist. My software, of course, that is a different version that they solve its either for windows or worldwide something then somebody will say well. Have you tried the frahm Jan blah blah menu

Also, I would try that existed, but mine does not. For Emma jane menu. I don't want you look at that so, basically all of europe, all of your technical help is gonna, be the manual with, doesn't help Google. It doesn't help reboot the doesn't help data software, Doesn't it up and then there's always as one bastard there's always one bastard who says the only thing you can do is to lay all of your software reloaded. I can do that. I will sell my computer before I do that, because you know it's just gonna be problems. So the problem is that when I paste a layer, I can't draw the layer unless I, unless I send it background- and I didn't ever have to send it to background before.

You should be able to write on the layer. You just pasted, that's just basic yeah. So if I have to change to a new software, there's going to be a big learning curve, I've got a deadline, I'm up against. So here's the problem. I don't know that I can solve this problem before my deadline and I don't know if that is solvable because of sloot It might be to stop using photoshop and you something else now. Some people said why don't you contact adobe technical support. I would never even try of everyone. Try this. if there's any chance, let's go to war one yeah, it's not a walk and probably is definitely not a walk in problem. It's a definitely a so photoshop from now it's not going to work. Have you ever tried to get technical support of the phone

That's not a thing now that you'll just be censored the phone trees and then it'll disconnect, and then you get somebody who's started yesterday. Yeah, then it and it It took me probably two hours even to find a contact number I mean I'd, google, it it'd be the wrong number I'd. Try this that they tell me that I gotta use the other amber yeah. Customer service isn't really a thing that happens anymore, so there's not really any customer service from a tech company right I mean you could try, but it's just going to be a waste of half a day sitting on hold and then getting nothing

The what would dilbert do I dunno, but I know what dog burt would do. Dog burt would make it a huge public problem, so the adobe has to fix it for me, because it's probably here's what I think I think they did it intentionally. I think it's an intentional change to the software. I think I don't think it's a bug. I think it's intentional now it could be that somebody requested cause there's some advantage of, The way to do it, so I think somebody benefits from this change, but it makes it useless to me I get it were. It would make my job so hard. I dont know if I can even bother do it with a software.

yeah, you can't really reinstall the old version, because it's a subscription service and if I tried to do that, it would take longer than I have so I'm either going to have to miss my deadline or a miracle. Last album brush mode behind the culprit is brush mode and behind. Well, I dunno what that means. Some mo most of the people will give me or so years a good example. The culprit is brush mode and behind what do I do with it? I don't want to do that. Those are just words brush mode and behind what I mean, I know the layer needs to be moved,

But I dont want to move the layer. That's the problem is a consumer version. Right click. I don't have a right click. I'm on a mac, so but most of your advice is going to be for a windows. That's the problem, compress layers drawn no doesn't work even even compressing. The even flattening the layers can't draw on it. Yeah, no there's lots of things I can do to hack it, but it doesn't just work. It needs to work on the law on you can't debug it up the pen draw debug. It pick up the pen closer to drawing you can even use it.

Reset the flux capacitor. I need to do so. What happened was when I paced the layer I can draw on the new layer, and there is no reason for that, but I can say and don't say that I got something locked, because nothing is locked again. Are you getting closer now you say two things. or click on the trackpad that I can do. But when you tell me, windows commands for my mac, I dunno what to do with that. Procreate saves the project and now I've saved and reopened it. I've done all the obvious stuff make a backup of the current races.

Install overs. I'm not gonna. Do that, I'm not going to erase my whole hard disk and reinstall all my software for this one bug which is not a bug. I don't believe it's a bug. That's the problem, if you think it's a bug, that's a whole different problem. This appears to be a software change, which maybe I can unchanged with some kind of setting, but I dunno where it would be

They said scholars washing up now. The problem with this is that I'll get so many suggestions that I won't know, which ones are right and I could poor through the wrong ones all day long. I don't think there's any kid they cancel solve this honestly. I think that maybe adobe just it made a change and there's nothing. I can do about it release notes yeah, I'm not going to do that previous version, I can't I don't have access to a previous version. It's a subscription stop answering if you're, not an artist.

I google how to revert to previous software versions. No, I'm not going to revert to a previous software version. I am never going to do that and I'm going to fix it with this version or some future one, but I'm not I'm not going to revert, I'm not going to revert any of that because that's just asking for a whole bunch of new problems. Alright, let me bail out? I've got so there's there's nothing else. I can do to fix up work on this one problem until its fixed, so that there will be all I'm gonna do until aspects. I don't have an option. I'm going to do that. Sorry today we be short, but I love talk to you tomorrow. You too.
