Episode 2143 Scott Adams - Secret Twitter Algorithm Found, Attacking Cartels, Rogan Vaccine Debate

you good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of civilization that's called coffee with Scott Adams and it's also Father's Day Happy Father's Day all you mofos um if you'd like to take your Father's Day up to a level that nobody's ever experienced before in the history of Father's Day all you need is a copper mugger a glass of tanker Chelsea style and a canteen yoga flask of vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure or the dopamine the other day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go ah oh good meme there's a meme of me drinking coffee with my Dilbert characters oh you poor You.

Tube people don't you wish you saw all the great memes that are going by right now on the locals platform all the You.

Tubers don't get to see I'm sorry sorry so as you know it is uh Father's Day and that's the day we celebrate uh the trans community so um for all of the uh people who are fathers no matter how they were born we'd like to make this more about the trans community and less of about the fathers it's more about the trans I think you'd all agree that that should be the focus for today all right did you know I let me let me uh let me give you a little teaser for today's live streams I'm pretty sure I'm living in a simulation in which the simulation is responding to my I don't know responding to my affirmations or something there's something weird about the news today I wonder if you can find the pattern oh maybe that's the way I'll do it now you won't find the batter there's something about the news today that looks very much like I caused most of it so that's that's the theme it's going to look like I caused most of the news today now that doesn't mean I did right I'm not saying I did I'm saying it's going to look like that and it's going to be weird now the only people are going to notice it are the the people who've watched me for a long time because they know what things I've tried to persuade but where do you hear the news today all right on CNN apparently there's a big Trend called internet dads and it's actually Men actually pretending to be your dad online so that they're they're really big accounts millions of viewers and one of them is just a black guy who eats food with you so he just has dinner with you he just gets his played out and gets you know makes a sandwich or whatever and he just sits down and talks to you like your dad how to use it internet dad and apparently there are a number of accounts like this and they're huge internet dads it's a thing all right and it's funny what the internet dads do I saw one of them a little clip and it was just somebody talking to the camera saying I'm very proud of you I wonder I wonder if that works it probably does probably if people get used to a character even if they're just talking to the screen and they say I'm proud of you it probably does work a little bit all right so I've told you internet dads would be huge and here it is uh Lauren bobert dogbert Dilbert rapper cappert bobert our representative Lauren bobert is introducing articles of impeachment for Joe Biden based on his not protecting the Border as his constitutional Duty requires years how do you do you think that'll go far the articles of impeachment no no that won't go far however I do like that she's introducing them calls attention to a very big issue the Border and you know it's it's stunting and it's persuasion and it's not too serious in terms of legislation but I like it I think she does a good job of getting attention for her points of view and I'm never never against getting attention uh in the hill there is an article talking about a fringe idea well there's a fringe idea coming out of the Republican side a fringe idea be if you haven't read the article Don't cheat if you've read the article if you haven't read the article on the hill what do you think they're talking about is The Fringe idea from the Republicans Fringe The Fringe idea is using the military to attack the cartels it's a fringe idea which they go on to explain that five of the six major candidates for the Republican Party favorite Mr.

De.

Santis is a little ambiguous about using the military which removes him from consideration in my opinion because I only want I'm a single issue voter on Fentanyl so uh desensis is great by the way I think he's very very capable politician but I'm just a one-issue voter this specific election just unfentanyl and um would you say that if five out of the six of the major candidates for the Republican Party five out of six are in favor of using the military and the hill calls it a fringe idea well what would be a non-fringe idea something that Democrats are in favor of is that by definition if if five out of six Democrat candidates for president were in favor of the same thing would that be called Fringe five out of six of the candidates what do you think I think no and by the way on the Republican side it's not just five out of six it includes the one who's going to win at least the primary you know Trump in all likelihood if you if you believe the polls I think there's a lot of a lot will change so I'm not sure he's going to win the even the primary you know if he has legal problems Etc probably most likely he will can't guarantee it though however that's Fringe there's your Fringe idea five out of six but I wanted to see if it included the arguments against it and there are some strong arguments against using the military here's one of them the Mexican Government might not like it uh the Mexican Government not liking it is the idea now it's not the side effect it's not the side effect it's the idea the idea is to do something that the Mexican Government very much doesn't want us to do that that's the whole point is to do the thing they don't want us to do so it's not really an argument against it to say they don't want us to do it it's more like a description of the idea let's do the thing they don't want us to do well I don't know they don't want us to do it I know but that's the whole point that they don't want us to do it and nobody's doing it but it's so important we have to do it anyway I don't know they don't like it might not like it and they might retaliate they might retaliate my God think of the things The Mexican government could do the United States uh are you thinking of things because I can't think of any what would be an example remove their diplomats what the are they going to do I mean I'd love to hear examples if there are any examples but it doesn't sound like the strongest argument um here's another one the military wouldn't be useful because the cartels are dispersed all over the country they're dispersed I wonder if we've ever successfully fought against any armed group that was dispersed across a vast area yes we have our most recent largest military victory was against Isis a dispersed group that was all over the place and I haven't heard from Al Qaeda lately when was last time Al-Qaeda scared you I feel like Al Qaeda was dispersed all over the place and you know what the U.S military dispersed them a little bit more didn't they so instead of being dispersed across territory they dispersed their chromosomes all over the place until there weren't enough left to cause any problems yes our military can hunt down dispersed people and kill them I'm pretty sure they're good at it might take a while you know it might take five years but is it worth it yes yes five years of killing them would be worth it all right speaking of that uh Lincoln is going to China to see if they can make a breakthrough in the fentanyl stuff because it's holding up the other stuff so there are other important things we want to talk to China about the fence and all things kind of a roadblock now we want them to stop ascending fentanyl precursors to Mexico that Mexico that the cartels turn into Fentanyl China's excuses these are just ordinary drugs we send these ordinary drugs to lots of places for lots of different reasons you can't get on us for sending ordinary drugs to ordinary places now the story they don't tell you is that they try to make these things illegal but the bad guys just add a molecule or two to make them legal again so that's all a little game that the Chinese place so they don't have to shut it down basically so it doesn't look like they're being honest it looks like they're using an excuse because they like to kill tens of thousands of Americans every year it weakens us and and they say the problem's on our end problems on our end uh that because we're a bunch of drunk drug users now it reminds me I saw a tweet this morning from Jessica Vaughn said she has a Russian roommate I guess who is who is saying that Russia doesn't have any homeless problem it just doesn't have one now apparently they don't have drug addicts either or something or they don't have craziness but but it did make me wonder where they go do you think that Russia just doesn't have any mental illness or drug addiction or are they does somebody kill them I mean do they get put in hospitals do they drink themselves to death of vodka nobody notices I have lots of questions you think they'll lock that maybe but but China and Russia don't seem to have a lot of homeless problems I'm not sure that they're handling it the way we would want to probably pretty brutal over there all right um have you heard that this these diabetes drugs new diabetes drugs are helping people uh quit addictions so there are people who are taking the diabetes drug for diabetes and they discover that they stop drinking or they stop smoking and it was easy they just lost their urge to do those things and now they're thinking that this drug interferes with some part of the brain that uh that involves addiction now does this sound like good news to you would you say that's good news because it scares the hell out of me here's why they develop a drug for one purpose and then they find out it Alters your brain what are the odds that the only way it Alters your brain is this good way is there such a thing as a a drug that could re it could reprogram your brain it'll reprogram your brain but only in that one way just as one narrow way that happens to be so positive this isn't that a nice coincidence huh don't you feel lucky how about those side effects any side effects I don't know it's it's feeling like uh covet vaccine 2.0 it's feeling a little bit too much like you know we're five years away from the government requiring it you know there we got this big problem with addiction you know it would be good I've got an idea what if everyone had to get an ozempic vaccination no more addiction we could solve Addiction in the United States to give everybody a shot I don't know if you could put it in the shot I'm just saying that to be more provocative but at what point does the government get to decide what's good for you they do it all the time right I mean that's the whole point of the childhood vaccinations is that the government has decided what's good for you not your parents and where's the line how far can they take it could they take it all the way to we'd like to give you a vaccination to make sure you don't grow up to be an addict and what if it worked it might actually just work I mean the other possibility is it just works and everybody's happy and it changes everything and we're all twice as twice as delighted when it's done as possible but none of this looks safe and healthy to me yeah it's it's got like every red flag you could possibly see and here's the other question that I asked do you think it's a coincidence that ozempic a real you know Pharma serious Pharma drug is helping with addiction at exactly the same time in history that we've discovered that these cheap and easily available psychedelics might do exactly the same thing as in cure your addiction what a coincidence huh big old coincidence that after a million years of human civilization exactly the same time we find this free you know naturally evolved stuff that anybody could get and cure their addiction and maybe one or two experiences you know that's the kind of reports we're getting exactly the same time you can do it for free big Pharma has a drug that doesn't too which do you think will win in the court of legal opinion if if you think that the big Pharma has this drug that can cure addiction at the same time the psychedelics can cure addiction and let's say that we imagine they work about you know similarly effective which one do you think will be illegal and which one will be required that that is no we're going to find out because I've got a feeling that the mushrooms will be illegal and the big Pharma product that costs a lot of money will be mandatory at some point all right uh apparently the Oscars I love this story because it's it's one of my two far stories so I keep telling you that wokeness has peaked which is completely different from saying we'll have less of it I'm not going to say we'll have less of it I'm saying it's peaked in terms of you can openly mock it for being dumbass stupidity you just openly mock it now here's what I openly mock so the Oscars beginning in 2024 in order to win an Oscar the film producers and directors will be required to submit to the academy a dossier of the sort of points uh uh there I guess they have a point system for the film Crews race gender sexual orientation and disability status other films cast and crew so it's not just the cast and now the entire crew has to be um uh also diverse you can't get an Oscar if you you can't get an Oscar unless you're now correct me if I'm wrong this this already is destroying the entire industry correct wouldn't you say that Hollywood has destroyed itself primarily by forcing diversity into every product which is a burden on the writing right by the way that's that's the least racist most accurate way to describe it if you don't want to sound like a bigot is that if you're a writer if it's hard enough to write a good story about anything but if you burden the story with and you've got to have a handicapped person in it and it's got to be multi-racial and you know there's got to be three trans whatever it is that that the the burden on the production definitely is going to affect your uh your quality even if all the people involved are first-rate it it's just an extra burden on the writing Etc so Hollywood has completely destroyed itself because they've made their product so woke that you can't watch it it's just unwatchable crap now and I I have to admit I kind of enjoy watching it watching the Oscars become a complete joke to the point where the people who work in the industry are saying all right this is too far this is way too far it now is just ridiculous makes my heart sing I don't know to me it's just funny that because I always tell you that things things that have gone too far generally hit the wall by continuing to go too far until it's just stupid it's ridiculous and you can just laugh at it and we're there we're there uh I saw an article I'm not gonna I'm not gonna reference uh in terms of the URL but the idea was that the country is falling apart because of a lack of General competence because the world is more complicated but there are more promotions of people for social reasons over competency and therefore we have more incompetent people and important jobs that are complicated jobs than ever before and that that's the reason that everything seems broken now I've told you that if you try to get customer support anywhere it's just a joke now like it would we always we always made fun of how hard it was to get help on the phone and stuff but even if you can guess somebody on the phone which is hard enough you're talking to somebody that you know is unqualified half the time I mean you just tell they don't even know their own job I can't tell you the amount of problems I've had because somebody tried to help me with a technical problem and didn't know how to do it made everything worse yeah my health care especially trying to get help from my Healthcare organization oh my God so would you agree that there's maybe in the last just few years three to five years that there's a competency problem that's just glaringly obvious that the United States is no longer just good at stuff just good at basic stuff now I don't think it's all a diversity hiring situation there's also something about young people if you took a 16 year old from my generation you would think that they were 25.

today do you realize that right a 16 year old from my generation if you just introduced him into the modern world people would think they were 25.

because they would act they would act capable they would be able to do what most 25 year olds can do and they would do it right in front of you and they wouldn't complain and they would show up on time and they'd work hard and they would have some you know future intended for themselves you you would never see that the 16 year old today so there's a competency problem of just young people are not being taught just to do stuff just simply doing things because if if you're playing video games you're in an artificial world where all the problems are artificial if you're if you spend all of your time in the real world you're solving real problems all day long just one after another if you sit in front of your video games you're solving problems but they're all the fake ones that don't apply to the real world anyway I think the competence problem is big and bad it has something to do with things are getting more complicated you know so at the same time our capabilities might be coming down for several different reasons the complexity of our systems is going up and I think as we've reached some kind of a crossover point where we're generally just not capable of handling our own systems we don't have the capability to handle it all right all right I saw a graph on a tweet from razib Khan um and he said what's happened in the late 2010s to drive women to the left so it was a graph they showed that women and young women in particular in the late 2010s suddenly the the graph that has been relatively you know flat for a long time just went this is a Zoop and women became super Lefty in the last 10 years or so super Lefty and he asked what caused it why did young women become super left and I would say there's only one reason propaganda no propaganda if you say it's the me too thing it's part of that that becomes part of the propaganda if you say it's about abortion yes that's part of the propaganda um right and what about colleges it also coincides with a huge increase in college enrollment of women in soft majors do you think that made any difference of course I did it made a huge difference so you've got B2 you've got the college universities you've got social media persuading in One Direction you've got the mainstream media persuading in the same direction um so the the surprise would be if it didn't happen right if you looked at all the stuff that was happening oh and specifically the rise of trump when when Trump hit the scene the entire mainstream media tried to make him the enemy a woman right so you could totally see that it was propaganda it was based on real events in the world but then it was propagandized and women were the most affected probably because the natural topics were more in their domain right and so the metoo stuff was mostly a woman problem not entirely but mostly and abortion feels like mostly a female problem not entirely but you know you know so I I feel like that's the least mysterious shift we've ever seen it's completely obvious from the propaganda and the topics that were in the news all right um this story I I had to read it like 50 times to make sure I wasn't hallucinating you might have the same experience you're going to say when was the date of the story did we not already go through this how could we possibly be talking about this today here's the story Twitter just found another Shadow band algorithm that they hadn't found before there was actually something that was suppressing you if I think if you got a number of complaints from other Twitter users you would be suppressed but you wouldn't know it do you know who is also suppressed Elon Musk that's right because Elon Musk has the kind of account because you know it's the biggest famous account he's going to get a lot of people complaining about him just you know protest complaints so the actual owner of Twitter unbeknownst to himself was Banning himself that's a real thing musk was Shadow Banning himself accidentally he didn't know it because Twitter still had an algorithm that was Banning people like him people who get complaints now I get and Elon Musk confirm this musk actually confirmed it now doesn't that make you feel like wait a minute isn't this a repeat I I thought they went in there and they they tore out by their Roots all of those bad or you know algorithms and it was full transparency told us what he was doing which I love and I love this too I love the fact that this is full transparency we just found this thing this is what it did and uh we're trying to get rid of it I I love that kind of mistake you know because it's a mistake that it exists You could argue it's a mistake that they didn't find it till now but I love the fact that once I found it it was full disclosure and then we're going to go fix it so that part A plus you know I say this all the time but I think it's always worth it worth repeating if you judge people by their mistakes you could have a very sad life because everybody makes mistakes including you but if you judge people by how they respond to their mistakes in this case you could call that a mistake that that algorithm still existed but the way they handled it a plus so that's my final grade my final grade is a plus because I care about how you handled it I don't care that it was there I mean I care but I'm not going to judge anybody for it all right um I'm going to make a further prediction that there will be some point in the maybe near future in which Twitter will discover that the tweaking of these algorithms was available to people on the outside meaning that there was probably at least somebody somewhere who could actually dial into I'll say dial in use the old term uh could just dial into Twitter and and tweak the algorithm any way they wanted probably an intelligence agency probably an intelligence agency now it could be that they just had an Insider who would do a forum which would look the same you know I'm not saying they necessarily could you know hack the system or that they had a back door which is possible they just might have an Insider who could do it for him makes you wonder how many other uh suppression algorithms are in the code now I would like to once again claim the best prediction about this back when Jack Dorsey was running I said two things number one there's no way that Jack Dorsey knows what the algorithm is doing and people laughed at me actually laughed it's like my god of course he knows of course he knows nope I would say it is now confirmed Beyond any doubt he did not know because it was unknowable the complexity of it and the number of places they had Shadow Banning code it was just bigger than any one person would know and and I even said that it's not just that not just that Jack Dorsey might not know what the code is doing but I speculated that there was nobody in Twitter Who would know would you would you agree with that now they just found this what can you give me credit for saying that nobody knew what the algorithm was doing now maybe there was some secret person to do but you know in terms of management nobody knew um yeah so everything you suspected about uh Twitter having some kind of suppression was all true do you remember was it a week ago I told you I thought Twitter was suppressing me how many remembers would be saying that like a week ago it like it seemed obvious to me that something had happened again now how many how many complaints do you think I get on my Twitter account I mean I I wouldn't necessarily see them right I wouldn't be aware of them but given my recent dust up in the public you don't think a lot of people are reporting my account for you know just to try to screw with me of course they are so that this this specific suppression algorithm they found is exactly in my ballpark and it's exactly in musk's ballpark too we're both the kind of personalities that attract a lot of complaints and that's what got us suppressed yeah I I noticed um it looked like somebody just put the brakes on my account a few weeks ago it just looked like everything stopped suddenly anyway so that's probably what it was um all right this is amazing there there's a j RFK not JFK RFK Jude your story about a CDC whistleblower and this is the most mind-blowing story now I'll simply tell you what he's saying I have no way to validate this as true but he's a credible personality and he's saying it and he's running for president so I'm going to repeat it he says there's a CDC whistleblower who personally was in a meeting where they they looked at data that black children were being injured by this medicine and they decided to hide the fact and all the documents were collected up and thrown in the same trash before they left the room does that sound true yeah it's two on the nose uh my my suspicion is that if you ask the company about this they would say something like yes we did collect them all and throw them away but it's because the study was bad and then if you looked into it you would find out maybe there were some holes in the study now I'm not defending them because I I don't even remember what company it was frankly I'm just telling you you should never believe one side of an argument never believe one side of an argument doesn't matter how convincing it is never believe one side of an argument that's why we have lawyers that's why there are two lawyers if if you could believe one side you'd only need one one lawyer for every trial okay we're we're going to tell you what he did now vote no defense needed just just one lawyer no you don't do that because one lawyer can always be convincing that's what they learn to do so when RFK Jr who is a trained lawyer when he goes on Joe Rogan and he says a bunch of things that sound really true well it should Sound True he's trained to make things Sound True he's really good at it because that's exactly his profession so whether it is true you should not use your confidence in his argument as part of your reasoning because the confidence in this argument will always be there whether he's right or not because he would be a guy who can make a confident argument about something that's true or not to he would have that skill so you don't know what he's doing and you don't know if he could just be wrong and confidently arguing but maybe wrong on some facts so have I ever told you that watching Joe Rogan have somebody on for three hours is not only not helping it's worse than nothing have you heard me say that that having one expert on for three hours is worse than nothing it would be better just not even have them on um yeah I've been saying that for a long time and I've said the ideal situation would be Joe Rogan or somebody like him having two experts on who disagree and do you remember remember what I said about the format you know what the format should be if they're the two experts there was one thing I said about the format that was important no time limit no time limit that was very important because otherwise the person has the weakest argument just runs the clock out you can't let one of them run the clock out when they're losing you need a winner right you need to just stay there until somebody's ground down so here's a real thing that happened in the news so Joe Rogan had RFK Jr on and RFK Jr made a bunch of claims about vaccinations and whatnot and there is a expert on vaccinations I guess or right some expert in that field is relevant Professor Peter Hotes he's an MD and a PhD and I guess on Twitter at least he was critical of rfkg Junior's claims so Joe Rogan invited Professor Peter Hotes to appear with RFK Jr the two of them on the show and here's the best part no time limit no time limit now Elon Musk weighed in and Elon was very much in favor of this idea and I think Joe Rogan offered a hundred thousand dollars to charity if they would debate other people on the internet Bill Ackman and a number of other rich people said I'll give you a hundred thousand I'll give you a quarter million somebody said that Tay offered half a million I'm not sure that's true but you know you can see people were trying to jump on board and and fund it now the funding would be for charity and musk actually started mocking hotels in public by saying he must not like charity you know jokingly but trying to put a little pressure on him to do it now how happy are you how happy are you he's so far he's so far not agreed to it at least as of a few minutes ago do you think he will do you think he'll take it you know now I'm gonna I'm gonna be charitable here he's a critic but that does not mean he would be the best person to you know debate in public simply being an expert and a Critic does not make you as capable as Joe Rogan you know talking in public and it does not make you nearly as capable as RFK Jr talking in public so it could be that you know it's just not the format that his skills fit I don't know that I'm just speculating there there could be an obvious reason why he wouldn't want to do it which had nothing to do with his confidence of his of his point but if he doesn't do it don't you think you could find another expert to do it you know don't you think you could find somebody else who has a similar view who's also an expert who would love to get on there and debate RFK Jr and embarrass him in front of the world so um I think this is one of the best one of the best outcomes in a long time we're finally on the cusp of an Internet dad getting two experts to argue in front of you with no time limit that's what we need that's everything now if it happens I mean maybe it won't be perfect the first time you know maybe the people run on too much you know anything could happen but there is nothing that is more positive more useful a better a better signal for the country than what Joe Rogan is doing right now Joe Rogan saving the country or or I would say that today or this week Joe Rogan did more for the country than Congress if he pulls this off if he pulls it off he's doing more for the country civilization it's not just the country he's doing more for civilization than the entire government if he can pull this off right it's that important I'd love to see it because you know there's there's no mainstream Media company that could do that do you know why obviously that they're all they're all funded by big Pharma so if you're funded by big Pharma there's no freaking way you can host a debate on any of this stuff so it's the perfect thing at the perfect time with at least one of the people would be the perfect person we hope the other one says yes and this would be frankly amazing um because I have to tell you I don't know who's right and unlike my usual artificial certainty I I don't even lean one way I just don't know I'm pretty sure that if you're on the right you only see things that agree with you if you're on the left you only see things that agree with you I've seen both right if you don't go look for the other side you'll never see it because the other side argument whatever the other side is you know that your algorithm has locked you in a bubble you're going to see countless anti-vaccine stuff once you get in the bubble you will never see the other side you've got to go Google and look for it I've done it all right I know that it's not going to come to me naturally I got to go look for it if you do you're going to come away with some humility to use Art's word uh you're going to come away with some humility and the humility is listening to that one person or that one side did not serve you it did not serve you because you haven't heard of the other side so please please let's make this work all right um Chris Hayes tweeted about this situation and MSNBC Chris Hayes he says very cool to watch all these Millionaires and billionaires push in the anti-vaxx line that has killed tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of working people so I tweeted to that retweeted him and said confidence and data on any topic feels absurd in 2013.

doesn't it feel absurd to see a talking head act with some certainty about the science now I'm not even saying he's wrong I'm not claiming he's wrong I'm claiming that I don't know and if he says he knows that's almost like a mental problem I mean it would seem like what would that be uh uh what's the name of that syndrome where you think you're smarter than you are what's that called with the two names why am I blanking on that you know what I'm talking about yeah darling Krueger Dunning Krueger doesn't that seem like Dunning Krueger to you and again he might be right but it would only be by accident yeah you don't think he has some Mastery of that data that you don't do you do you think he's seen the same data that you've seen or do you think that Chris Hayes because like all of us you know once he starts interacting with a certain kind of information it's all he sees it's all that gets fed to him it's all anybody talks about in his Circle uh referring to 23 team might be the mental problem John you're so weak John so weak anyway um but I love the fact that he's mocking the Millionaires and billionaires for pushing anti-vax line is that what you say when when Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and all the other people kicked in when they when they were begging the two experts to debate in public that was pushing an anti-vaxx line asking the person who is the most positive about vaccines and an expert we will pay you any amount of money will give you well not him actually to charity I guess what what will it take please dear God can you get on and inform us and you know in a way that is credible with somebody who can challenge you literally begging for better information and Chris Hayes says that they're anti-vaxx begging for both sides like it's the the main thing they're spending time on today is to get both sides of the argument and they can't get it so far and that's anti-vaxx wanting both sides all right ladies and gentlemen um I would like to read you my robots read news comic that you could see if you were a subscriber to the locals platforms Scott adams.locals.com but as you know the robots never move they're just reading the news one robot and Roba says President Biden expects to spend at least half of his summer vacation in the afterlife he has a cloud next to clean to Queen Elizabeth and he is reportedly Disturbed every time the wind blows up her flowing robe so Biden asked God to shave the queen God saved the queen it's Father's Day it's a dad joke dad jokes on Father's days are allowed they are allowed now you might also you might also ask but what kind of a dad joke did you do for Father's Day well if I could find it I'd tell you right here come on here it is so it's a big old sunday comic and this is the this is a an example of what I sometimes do in the Dilbert comic which is I get a little bit ahead of the readers so the people who are watching this will get this joke but maybe eighty percent of the public wouldn't get it and they'd have to they have to look it up I guess anyway so the boss is there with Dilbert it's a meeting room and there's an empty chair between him and the boss says I called this meeting to introduce our new super prompt engineer and he looks at the empty chair and he says but apparently he's running late and Dilbert says the super prompt engineer is late boss says yes that's what I said then dilber says that's not very super prompt is it and the boss says I have no idea what you're talking about and then the super prompt engineer walks in and he says Hi everyone sorry I'm late I guess I'm not as super prompt as I thought and then the looks around the room he says really nothing and Dilbert touches him gently on the arm and says Let It Go Let It Go all right that's your dad jokes for the day You.

Tube thanks for joining and uh I will talk to you all tomorrow I'm going to stay and talk to the locals people because they're special bye for now

you

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of civilization that's

called coffee with Scott Adams and it's

also Father's Day Happy Father's Day all

you mofos

um if you'd like to take your Father's

Day up to a level that nobody's ever

experienced before in the history of

Father's Day all you need is a copper

mugger a glass of tanker Chelsea style

and a canteen yoga flask of vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee enjoy me now for

the unparalleled pleasure or the

dopamine the other day thing makes

everything better

it's called the simultaneous sip it

happens now go

ah oh good meme there's a meme of me

drinking coffee with my Dilbert

characters

oh you poor YouTube people don't you

wish you saw all the great memes that

are going by right now on the locals

platform

all the YouTubers don't get to see I'm

sorry

sorry

so as you know it is uh Father's Day and

that's the day we celebrate uh the trans

community

so

um for all of the uh people who are

fathers no matter how they were born

we'd like to make this

more about the trans community and less

of about the fathers it's more about the

trans I think you'd all agree that that

should be the focus for today

all right

did you know

I let me let me uh let me give you a

little teaser for today's live streams

I'm pretty sure I'm living in a

simulation

in which the simulation is responding to

my

I don't know responding to my

affirmations or something

there's something weird about the news

today

I wonder if you can find the pattern

oh maybe that's the way I'll do it

now you won't find the batter

there's something about the news today

that looks very much like I caused most

of it

so that's that's the theme it's going to

look like I caused most of the news

today

now that doesn't mean I did right I'm

not saying I did I'm saying it's going

to look like that and it's going to be

weird

now the only people are going to notice

it are the the people who've watched me

for a long time because they know what

things I've tried to persuade but where

do you hear the news today

all right on CNN

apparently there's a big Trend called

internet dads

and it's actually Men actually

pretending to be your dad online

so that they're they're really big

accounts millions of viewers

and one of them is just a black guy

who eats food with you

so he just has dinner with you he just

gets his played out and gets you know

makes a sandwich or whatever and he just

sits down and talks to you like your dad

how to use it internet dad and

apparently there are a number of

accounts like this and they're huge

internet dads it's a thing

all right

and it's funny what the internet dads do

I saw one of them a little clip and it

was just somebody talking to the camera

saying I'm very proud of you

I wonder I wonder if that works it

probably does probably if people get

used to a character even if they're just

talking to the screen and they say I'm

proud of you it probably does work a

little bit

all right so I've told you internet dads

would be huge and here it is

uh Lauren bobert

dogbert Dilbert

rapper cappert

bobert

our representative Lauren bobert is

introducing articles of impeachment

for Joe Biden based on his not

protecting the Border as his

constitutional Duty requires

years

how do you do you think that'll go far

the articles of impeachment

no no that won't go far however I do

like that she's introducing them calls

attention to a very big issue the Border

and you know it's it's stunting and it's

persuasion and it's not too serious in

terms of legislation but I like it I

think she does a good job of getting

attention for her points of view

and I'm never never against getting

attention

uh in the hill

there is an article talking about a

fringe idea

well there's a fringe idea coming out of

the Republican side a fringe idea be if

you haven't read the article Don't cheat

if you've read the article if you

haven't read the article on the hill

what do you think they're talking about

is The Fringe idea

from the Republicans Fringe

The Fringe idea is using the military to

attack the cartels

it's a fringe idea

which they go on to explain that five of

the six major candidates for the

Republican Party

favorite

Mr DeSantis is a little ambiguous about

using the military which removes him

from consideration in my opinion

because I only want I'm a single issue

voter on Fentanyl

so uh desensis is great by the way I

think he's very very capable politician

but I'm just a one-issue voter this

specific election just unfentanyl

and

um

would you say that if five out of the

six of the major candidates for the

Republican Party five out of six are in

favor of using the military

and the hill calls it a fringe idea

well what would be a non-fringe idea

something that Democrats are in favor of

is that by definition if if five out of

six Democrat candidates for president

were in favor of the same thing would

that be called Fringe

five out of six of the candidates what

do you think

I think no

and by the way on the Republican side

it's not just five out of six

it includes the one who's going to win

at least the primary you know Trump in

all likelihood if you if you believe the

polls I think there's a lot of a lot

will change so I'm not sure he's going

to win the even the primary you know if

he has legal problems Etc probably most

likely he will can't guarantee it though

however that's Fringe

there's your Fringe idea five out of six

but I wanted to see if it included the

arguments against it

and there are some strong arguments

against using the military here's one of

them the Mexican Government might not

like it

uh

the Mexican Government not liking it

is the idea

now it's not the side effect

it's not the side effect it's the idea

the idea is to do something that the

Mexican Government very much doesn't

want us to do

that that's the whole point is to do the

thing they don't want us to do

so it's not really an argument against

it to say they don't want us to do it

it's more like a description of the idea

let's do the thing they don't want us to

do

well I don't know they don't want us to

do it

I know but that's the whole point that

they don't want us to do it and nobody's

doing it but it's so important we have

to do it anyway

I don't know they don't like it might

not like it

and they might retaliate

they might retaliate

my God

think of the things The Mexican

government could do the United States

uh are you thinking of things

because I can't think of any

what would be an example

remove their diplomats

what the are they going to do

I mean I'd love to hear examples if

there are any examples but it doesn't

sound like the strongest argument

um

here's another one the military wouldn't

be useful because the cartels are

dispersed all over the country

they're dispersed

I wonder if we've ever successfully

fought against any armed group that was

dispersed across a vast area

yes we have our most recent largest

military victory was against Isis a

dispersed group that was all over the

place and I haven't heard from Al Qaeda

lately when was last time Al-Qaeda

scared you

I feel like Al Qaeda was dispersed all

over the place and you know what the U.S

military dispersed them a little bit

more didn't they so instead of being

dispersed across territory they

dispersed their chromosomes all over the

place until there weren't enough

left to cause any problems yes our

military can hunt down dispersed people

and kill them

I'm pretty sure they're good at it might

take a while you know it might take five

years

but is it worth it yes yes five years of

killing them would be worth it

all right speaking of that uh Lincoln is

going to China to see if they can make a

breakthrough in the fentanyl stuff

because it's holding up the other stuff

so there are other important things we

want to talk to China about

the fence and all things kind of a

roadblock now we want them to stop

ascending fentanyl precursors to Mexico

that Mexico that the cartels turn into

Fentanyl

China's excuses these are just ordinary

drugs

we send these ordinary drugs to lots of

places for lots of different reasons you

can't get on us for sending ordinary

drugs to ordinary places

now the story they don't tell you is

that they try to make these things

illegal but the bad guys just add a

molecule or two to make them legal again

so that's all a little game that the

Chinese place so they don't have to shut

it down basically

so it doesn't look like they're being

honest it looks like they're using an

excuse because they like to kill

tens of thousands of Americans every

year it weakens us

and and they say the problem's on our

end

problems on our end

uh that because we're a bunch of drunk

drug users

now

it reminds me I saw a tweet this morning

from Jessica Vaughn said she has a

Russian

roommate I guess who is who is saying

that Russia doesn't have any homeless

problem

it just doesn't have one

now apparently they don't have drug

addicts either or something or they

don't have craziness

but but it did make me wonder where they

go

do you think that Russia just doesn't

have any mental illness or drug

addiction

or are they does somebody kill them

I mean do they get put in hospitals do

they drink themselves to death of vodka

nobody notices

I have lots of questions you think

they'll lock that maybe

but

but China and Russia don't seem to have

a lot of homeless problems I'm not sure

that they're handling it the way we

would want to

probably pretty brutal over there

all right

um have you heard that this these

diabetes drugs new diabetes drugs are

helping people

uh quit addictions

so there are people who are taking the

diabetes drug for diabetes and they

discover that they stop drinking

or they stop smoking and it was easy

they just lost their urge to do those

things

and now they're thinking that this drug

interferes with some part of the brain

that uh

that involves addiction

now

does this sound like good news to you

would you say that's good news

because it scares the hell out of me

here's why

they develop a drug for one purpose

and then they find out it Alters your

brain

what are the odds that the only way it

Alters your brain is this good way

is there such a thing as a a drug that

could re it could reprogram your brain

it'll reprogram your brain

but only in that one way just as one

narrow way that happens to be so

positive this isn't that a nice

coincidence huh don't you feel lucky

how about those side effects

any side effects

I don't know it's it's feeling like uh

covet vaccine 2.0

it's feeling a little bit too much like

you know we're five years away from the

government requiring it

you know there we got this big problem

with addiction you know it would be good

I've got an idea

what if everyone had to get an ozempic

vaccination

no more addiction

we could solve Addiction in the United

States to give everybody a shot I don't

know if you could put it in the shot I'm

just saying that to be more provocative

but at what point does the government

get to decide what's good for you

they do it all the time right I mean

that's the whole point of the childhood

vaccinations is that the government has

decided what's good for you not your

parents

and where's the line

how far can they take it could they take

it all the way to we'd like to give you

a vaccination to make sure you don't

grow up to be an addict

and what if it worked it might actually

just work I mean the other possibility

is it just works and everybody's happy

and it changes everything and we're all

twice as twice as delighted when it's

done as possible

but none of this looks safe and healthy

to me yeah it's it's got like every red

flag you could possibly see

and here's the other question that I

asked

do you think it's a coincidence

that ozempic a real you know Pharma

serious Pharma drug

is helping with addiction at exactly the

same time in history

that we've discovered that these cheap

and easily available

psychedelics might do exactly the same

thing

as in cure your addiction

what a coincidence huh

big old coincidence that after a million

years of human civilization exactly the

same time we find this free you know

naturally evolved stuff that anybody

could get and cure their addiction and

maybe one or two experiences you know

that's the kind of reports we're getting

exactly the same time you can do it for

free big Pharma has a drug that doesn't

too which do you think will win in the

court of legal opinion

if if you think that the big Pharma has

this drug that can cure addiction at the

same time the psychedelics can cure

addiction and let's say that we imagine

they work about you know similarly

effective which one do you think will be

illegal and which one will be required

that that is

no we're going to find out because I've

got a feeling that the mushrooms will be

illegal and the big Pharma product that

costs a lot of money will be mandatory

at some point

all right

uh apparently the Oscars

I love this story because it's it's one

of my two far stories so I keep telling

you that wokeness has peaked

which is completely different from

saying we'll have less of it I'm not

going to say we'll have less of it I'm

saying it's peaked in terms of you can

openly mock it for being dumbass

stupidity you just openly mock it now

here's what I openly mock

so the Oscars beginning in 2024 in order

to win an Oscar the film producers and

directors will be required to submit to

the academy a dossier of the sort of

points uh

uh there I guess they have a point

system for the film Crews race gender

sexual orientation and disability status

other films cast and crew so it's not

just the cast and now the entire crew

has to be um

uh also diverse

you can't get an Oscar if you you can't

get an Oscar unless you're

now

correct me if I'm wrong this this

already is destroying the entire

industry correct

wouldn't you say that Hollywood has

destroyed itself

primarily by forcing diversity into

every product which is a burden on the

writing

right by the way that's that's the least

racist most accurate way to describe it

if you don't want to sound like a bigot

is that if you're a writer if it's hard

enough to write a good story about

anything

but if you burden the story with and

you've got to have a handicapped person

in it and it's got to be multi-racial

and you know there's got to be three

trans whatever it is that that the the

burden on the production

definitely is going to affect your uh

your quality even if all the people

involved are first-rate it it's just an

extra burden on the writing Etc

so

Hollywood has completely destroyed

itself

because they've made their product so

woke that you can't watch it it's just

unwatchable crap now and

I I have to admit I kind of enjoy

watching it watching the Oscars become a

complete joke to the point where the

people who work in the industry are

saying all right this is too far this is

way too far it now is just ridiculous

makes my heart sing

I don't know to me it's just funny that

because I always tell you that things

things that have gone too far

generally hit the wall by continuing to

go too far until it's just stupid it's

ridiculous and you can just laugh at it

and we're there

we're there

uh

I saw an article I'm not gonna I'm not

gonna reference

uh in terms of the URL but

the idea was that the country is falling

apart because of a lack of General

competence because the world is more

complicated but there are more

promotions of people for social reasons

over competency

and therefore we have more incompetent

people and important jobs

that are complicated jobs than ever

before and that that's the reason that

everything seems broken

now I've told you that if you try to get

customer support anywhere

it's just a joke now

like it would we always we always made

fun of how hard it was to get help on

the phone and stuff but even if you can

guess somebody on the phone which is

hard enough

you're talking to somebody that you know

is unqualified half the time I mean you

just tell they don't even know their own

job I can't tell you the amount of

problems I've had

because somebody tried to help me with a

technical problem and didn't know how to

do it made everything worse

yeah my health care especially trying to

get help from my Healthcare organization

oh my God

so would you agree that there's maybe in

the last just few years three to five

years that there's a competency problem

that's just glaringly obvious that the

United States is no longer just good at

stuff

just good at basic stuff now I don't

think it's all a diversity hiring

situation there's also something about

young people

if you took a 16 year old from my

generation

you would think that they were 25.

today

do you realize that right a 16 year old

from my generation if you just

introduced him into the modern world

people would think they were 25.

because they would act they would act

capable

they would be able to do what most 25

year olds can do

and they would do it right in front of

you and they wouldn't complain and they

would show up on time and they'd work

hard and they would have some you know

future intended for themselves

you you would never see that the 16 year

old

today so there's a competency problem of

just young people are not being taught

just to do stuff

just simply doing things because if if

you're playing video games you're in an

artificial world where all the problems

are artificial

if you're if you spend all of your time

in the real world you're solving real

problems all day long just one after

another if you sit in front of your

video games you're solving problems but

they're all the fake ones that don't

apply to the real world

anyway I think the competence problem is

big and bad it has something to do with

things are getting more complicated

you know so at the same time our

capabilities might be coming down for

several different reasons the complexity

of our systems is going up and I think

as we've reached some kind of a

crossover point where we're generally

just not capable of handling our own

systems we don't have the capability to

handle it

all right

all right I saw a graph on a tweet from

razib Khan

um and he said what's happened in the

late 2010s to drive women to the left so

it was a graph they showed that women

and young women in particular in the

late 2010s suddenly the the graph that

has been relatively you know flat for a

long time just went this is a Zoop and

women became super Lefty in the last

10 years or so super Lefty

and he asked what caused it why did

young women become super left and I

would say

there's only one reason

propaganda

no propaganda if you say it's the me too

thing it's part of that that becomes

part of the propaganda if you say it's

about abortion yes that's part of the

propaganda

um

right and what about colleges it also

coincides with a huge increase in

college enrollment of women in soft

majors

do you think that made any difference of

course I did it made a huge difference

so you've got B2 you've got the college

universities you've got social media

persuading in One Direction you've got

the mainstream media persuading in the

same direction

um

so the

the surprise would be if it didn't

happen

right if you looked at all the stuff

that was happening oh and specifically

the rise of trump

when when Trump hit the scene the entire

mainstream media

tried to make him the enemy a woman

right so you could totally see that it

was propaganda it was based on real

events in the world but then it was

propagandized and women were the most

affected

probably because the natural topics were

more in their domain right

and so the metoo stuff was mostly a

woman problem not entirely but mostly

and abortion feels like mostly a female

problem not entirely but you know you

know

so

I I feel like that's the least

mysterious

shift we've ever seen it's completely

obvious from the propaganda and the

topics that were in the news

all right

um this story I I had to read it like 50

times to make sure I wasn't

hallucinating

you might have the same experience

you're going to say when was the date of

the story

did we not already go through this how

could we possibly be talking about this

today

here's the story

Twitter just found another Shadow band

algorithm that they hadn't found before

there was actually something that was

suppressing you if I think if you got a

number of complaints from other Twitter

users you would be suppressed but you

wouldn't know it do you know who is also

suppressed

Elon Musk

that's right because Elon Musk has the

kind of account because you know it's

the biggest famous account he's going to

get a lot of people complaining about

him just you know protest complaints

so the actual owner of Twitter

unbeknownst to himself

was Banning himself

that's a real thing

musk was Shadow Banning himself

accidentally he didn't know it because

Twitter still had an algorithm that was

Banning people like him people who get

complaints

now I get and Elon Musk confirm this

musk actually confirmed it now doesn't

that make you feel like wait a minute

isn't this a repeat

I I thought they went in there and they

they tore out by their Roots all of

those bad or you know algorithms and it

was full transparency

told us what he was doing which I love

and I love this too I love the fact that

this is full transparency we just found

this thing this is what it did

and uh we're trying to get rid of it

I I love that kind of mistake

you know because it's a mistake that it

exists You could argue it's a mistake

that they didn't find it till now

but I love the fact that once I found it

it was full disclosure

and then we're going to go fix it so

that part A plus you know I say this all

the time but I think it's always worth

it worth repeating if you judge people

by their mistakes you could have a very

sad life

because everybody makes mistakes

including you

but if you judge people by how they

respond to their mistakes

in this case you could call that a

mistake that that algorithm still

existed but the way they handled it a

plus

so that's my final grade my final grade

is a plus because I care about how you

handled it I don't care that it was

there I mean I care but I'm not going to

judge anybody for it

all right um

I'm going to make a further prediction

that there will be some point in the

maybe near future in which Twitter will

discover that the tweaking of these

algorithms was available to people on

the outside

meaning that there was probably at least

somebody somewhere who could actually

dial into I'll say dial in use the old

term uh could just dial into Twitter and

and tweak the algorithm any way they

wanted probably an intelligence agency

probably an intelligence agency now it

could be that they just had an Insider

who would do a forum

which would look the same you know I'm

not saying they necessarily could you

know hack the system or that they had a

back door which is possible they just

might have an Insider who could do it

for him

makes you wonder how many other uh

suppression algorithms are in the code

now I would like to once again claim the

best prediction about this

back when Jack Dorsey was running I said

two things number one there's no way

that Jack Dorsey knows what the

algorithm is doing and people laughed at

me actually laughed it's like my god of

course he knows of course he knows nope

I would say it is now confirmed Beyond

any doubt he did not know because it was

unknowable

the complexity of it and the number of

places they had Shadow Banning code it

was just bigger than any one person

would know and and I even said that it's

not just that not just that Jack Dorsey

might not know what the code is doing

but I speculated that there was nobody

in Twitter Who would know

would you would you agree with that now

they just found this

what can you give me credit for saying

that nobody knew what the algorithm was

doing

now maybe there was some secret person

to do but you know in terms of

management nobody knew

um

yeah

so everything you suspected about uh

Twitter having some kind of suppression

was all true

do you remember was it a week ago

I told you I thought Twitter was

suppressing me

how many remembers would be saying that

like a week ago

it like it seemed obvious to me that

something had happened again

now how many how many complaints do you

think I get on my Twitter account

I mean I I wouldn't necessarily see them

right I wouldn't be aware of them

but given my recent dust up in the

public you don't think a lot of people

are reporting my account for you know

just to try to screw with me of course

they are so that this this specific

suppression algorithm they found is

exactly in my ballpark and it's exactly

in musk's ballpark too we're both the

kind of personalities that attract a lot

of complaints and that's what got us

suppressed

yeah I I noticed

um it looked like somebody just put the

brakes on my account a few weeks ago

it just looked like everything stopped

suddenly

anyway so that's probably what it was

um

all right

this is amazing there there's a j RFK

not JFK RFK Jude your story about a CDC

whistleblower and this is the most

mind-blowing story

now I'll simply tell you what he's

saying I have no way to validate this as

true

but

he's a credible personality and he's

saying it and he's running for president

so I'm going to repeat it he says

there's a CDC whistleblower who

personally was in a meeting where they

they looked at data

that black children were being injured

by this

medicine

and they decided to hide the fact and

all the documents were collected up and

thrown in the same trash before they

left the room

does that sound true

yeah it's two on the nose

uh my my suspicion is that if you ask

the company about this they would say

something like yes we did collect them

all and throw them away but it's because

the study was bad

and then if you looked into it you would

find out maybe there were some holes in

the study

now I'm not defending them because I I

don't even remember what company it was

frankly I'm just telling you you should

never believe one side of an argument

never believe one side of an argument

doesn't matter how convincing it is

never believe one side of an argument

that's why we have lawyers

that's why there are two lawyers if if

you could believe one side you'd only

need one one lawyer for every trial okay

we're we're going to tell you what he

did now vote

no defense needed just just one lawyer

no you don't do that because one lawyer

can always be convincing that's what

they learn to do

so when RFK Jr who is a trained lawyer

when he goes on Joe Rogan and he says a

bunch of things that sound really true

well it should Sound True he's trained

to make things Sound True he's really

good at it because that's exactly his

profession

so

whether it is true

you should not use your confidence in

his argument as part of your reasoning

because the confidence in this argument

will always be there whether he's right

or not

because he would be a guy who can make a

confident argument about something

that's true or not to he would have that

skill so you don't know what he's doing

and you don't know if he could just be

wrong and confidently arguing but maybe

wrong on some facts

so have I ever told you

that watching Joe Rogan have somebody on

for three hours is not only not helping

it's worse than nothing

have you heard me say that

that having one expert on for three

hours is worse than nothing it would be

better just not even have them on

um yeah

I've been saying that for a long time

and I've said the ideal situation would

be Joe Rogan or somebody like him having

two experts on who disagree and do you

remember remember what I said about the

format you know what the format should

be if they're the two experts

there was one thing I said about the

format that was important

no time limit

no time limit

that was very important because

otherwise the person has the weakest

argument just runs the clock out

you can't let one of them run the clock

out when they're losing you need a

winner

right you need to just stay there until

somebody's

ground down

so here's a real thing that happened in

the news

so Joe Rogan had RFK Jr on and RFK Jr

made a bunch of claims about

vaccinations and whatnot and there is a

expert on vaccinations I guess or right

some expert in that field is relevant

Professor Peter Hotes he's an MD and a

PhD

and I guess on Twitter at least he was

critical of rfkg Junior's claims

so

Joe Rogan

invited

Professor Peter Hotes to appear with RFK

Jr the two of them on the show

and here's the best part

no time limit

no time limit

now

Elon Musk weighed in and Elon was very

much in favor of this idea and I think

Joe Rogan offered a hundred thousand

dollars to charity if they would debate

other people on the internet Bill Ackman

and a number of other rich people said

I'll give you a hundred thousand I'll

give you a quarter million somebody said

that Tay offered half a million I'm not

sure that's true but you know you can

see people were trying to jump on board

and and fund it now the funding would be

for charity and musk actually started

mocking hotels in public by saying he

must not like charity you know jokingly

but trying to put a little pressure on

him to do it

now

how happy are you

how happy are you

he's so far he's so far not agreed to it

at least as of a few minutes ago

do you think he will

do you think he'll take it you know

now I'm gonna I'm gonna be charitable

here

he's a critic but that does not mean he

would be the best person to you know

debate in public

simply being an expert and a Critic does

not make you as capable

as Joe Rogan you know talking in public

and it does not make you nearly as

capable as RFK Jr

talking in public

so it could be that you know it's just

not the format that his skills fit I

don't know that I'm just speculating

there there could be an obvious reason

why he wouldn't want to do it which had

nothing to do with his confidence of his

of his point

but if he doesn't do it don't you think

you could find another expert to do it

you know don't you think you could find

somebody else who has a similar view

who's also an expert who would love to

get on there and debate RFK Jr and

embarrass him in front of the world

so

um

I think this is one of the best

one of the best outcomes in a long time

we're finally on the cusp of an Internet

dad

getting two experts to argue in front of

you with no time limit

that's what we need

that's everything now

if it happens I mean maybe it won't be

perfect the first time you know maybe

the people run on too much you know

anything could happen

but there is nothing that is more

positive more useful a better a better

signal for the country

than what Joe Rogan is doing right now

Joe Rogan saving the country

or or I would say that today or this

week Joe Rogan did more for the country

than Congress

if he pulls this off if he pulls it off

he's doing more for the country

civilization it's not just the country

he's doing more for civilization

than the entire government if he can

pull this off

right it's that important I'd love to

see it because you know there's there's

no mainstream Media company that could

do that do you know why

obviously that they're all they're all

funded by big Pharma

so if you're funded by big Pharma

there's no freaking way you can host a

debate on any of this stuff

so it's the perfect thing at the perfect

time with at least one of the people

would be the perfect person we hope the

other one says yes

and this would be frankly amazing

um because I have to tell you

I don't know who's right

and unlike my usual artificial certainty

I I don't even lean one way

I just don't know

I'm pretty sure that if you're on the

right you only see things that agree

with you if you're on the left you only

see things that agree with you I've seen

both

right if you don't go look for the other

side you'll never see it because the

other side argument whatever the other

side is you know that your algorithm has

locked you in a bubble

you're going to see countless

anti-vaccine stuff once you get in the

bubble you will never

see the other side you've got to go

Google and look for it I've done it all

right I know that it's not going to come

to me naturally I got to go look for it

if you do

you're going to come away with some

humility to use Art's word uh you're

going to come away with some humility

and the humility is listening to that

one person or that one side did not

serve you it did not serve you

because you haven't heard of the other

side

so please

please let's make this work

all right

um

Chris Hayes tweeted about this situation

and MSNBC Chris Hayes he says very cool

to watch all these Millionaires and

billionaires push in the anti-vaxx line

that has killed tens of thousands if not

hundreds of thousands of working people

so I tweeted to that retweeted him and

said confidence and data on any topic

feels absurd in 2013.

doesn't it feel absurd to see a talking

head

act with some certainty about the

science

now I'm not even saying he's wrong

I'm not claiming he's wrong

I'm claiming that I don't know

and if he says he knows

that's almost like a mental problem

I mean it would seem like what would

that be uh

uh what's the name of that syndrome

where you think you're smarter than you

are

what's that called with the two names

why am I blanking on that

you know what I'm talking about yeah

darling Krueger Dunning Krueger doesn't

that seem like Dunning Krueger to you

and again he might be right but it would

only be by accident yeah you don't think

he has some Mastery of that data that

you don't do you

do you think he's seen the same data

that you've seen

or do you think that Chris Hayes because

like all of us you know once he starts

interacting with a certain kind of

information it's all he sees

it's all that gets fed to him it's all

anybody talks about in his Circle

uh referring to 23 team might be the

mental problem

John

you're so weak John

so weak

anyway

um but I love the fact that he's mocking

the Millionaires and billionaires for

pushing anti-vax line

is that what you say

when when Joe Rogan and Elon Musk and

all the other people kicked in when they

when they were begging the two experts

to debate in public

that was pushing an anti-vaxx line

asking the person who is the most

positive about vaccines and an expert we

will pay you any amount of money will

give you well not him actually to

charity I guess what what will it take

please dear God can you get on and

inform us and you know in a way that is

credible with somebody who can challenge

you

literally begging for better information

and Chris Hayes says that they're

anti-vaxx begging for both sides

like it's the the main thing they're

spending time on today is to get both

sides of the argument

and they can't get it so far

and that's anti-vaxx wanting both sides

all right

ladies and gentlemen

um

I would like to read you my robots read

news comic

that you could see if you were a

subscriber to the locals platforms Scott

adams.locals.com

but as you know the robots never move

they're just reading the news one robot

and Roba says President Biden expects to

spend at least half of his summer

vacation in the afterlife

he has a cloud next to clean to Queen

Elizabeth and he is reportedly Disturbed

every time the wind blows up her flowing

robe

so Biden asked God to shave the queen

God saved the queen

it's Father's Day

it's a dad joke

dad jokes on Father's days are allowed

they are allowed

now you might also you might also ask

but what kind of a dad joke did you do

for Father's Day

well if I could find it I'd tell you

right here

come on

here it is

so it's a big old sunday comic

and this is the this is a an example of

what I sometimes do in the Dilbert comic

which is I get a little bit ahead of the

readers

so the people who are watching this will

get this joke but maybe eighty percent

of the public wouldn't get it and they'd

have to

they have to look it up I guess anyway

so the boss is there with Dilbert it's a

meeting room and there's an empty chair

between him and the boss says I called

this meeting to introduce our new super

prompt engineer

and he looks at the empty chair and he

says but apparently he's running late

and Dilbert says the super prompt

engineer is late

boss says yes that's what I said

then dilber says that's not very

super prompt is it

and the boss says I have no idea what

you're talking about

and then the super prompt engineer walks

in and he says Hi everyone sorry I'm

late I guess I'm not as super prompt as

I thought

and then the looks around the room he

says really nothing

and Dilbert touches him gently on the

arm and says

Let It Go

Let It Go

all right that's your dad jokes for the

day YouTube thanks for joining

and uh

I will talk to you all tomorrow I'm

going to stay and talk to the locals

people

because they're special bye for now
