Episode 2306 Scott Adams - CWSA 11/28/23 Wokeness Jumps The Shark, Hunter Rejects Clothed Hearing

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams there's never been a better time in your life and if you'd like to take it up to levels that people can't even understand well all you need for that is a cuper and mugger a glass of tanker cheler Stein a kinen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee join me now for the unparallel pleasure of the dopa Bean the end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous Sip and happens now go savor it savor it good that was some good sipping I'd like to compliment all of you who participated for your excellent sipping talents well I have a theme for today's show and the theme is is it my imagination or has wokeness totally jumped the shark now if you don't recognize that American TV reference Jumping the Shark is a reference to a originally a reference to a TV show they had a ridiculous plot Happy Days was the name of the TV show where one of the characters would be water skiing foni was the character and he would jump off a some kind of a ramp water skiing and he would jump over a shark now since the show was usually on the stage in the set you know just doing funny things became you know huge huge hit but after a while the good writers move on so I don't know if you know this this is why all good TV shows eventually fail uh let's see if you know this the reason a great TV show fails pretty much all of them is that if you get a job as a writer for a top number one show you're going to get a nice paycheck so of course the the best writers would try to work at the best shows but once you've worked at the best show for a year you can get a much bigger paycheck somewhere else so it's basically a way to you know siphon The Good the good writers through the good show but almost immediately to a higher pay paying job for some new show that you know needs somebody who's got that experience and credibility so the the nature of the model is that any good show should attract good writers but over time they're going to be moving out too fast and it should be self-destructive anyway that's just on the side but it seems to me that uh and so the the jump the shark thing means that a formally good thing went too far it it just became too ridiculous to even work anymore that's what Jumping the Shark means so you tell me if we've reached that point in my opinion now keeping in mind I see a certain amount of uh right leaning uh Media stuff on the internet so I probably see more of that than anything else but in my experience at least 90% of all the stories in the wokeness domain from racism to trans to everything else 90% of the news stories are treated as jokes true true or not in the beginning of the wokeness trend there would be two sides to every story but both sides would treat it seriously right so the woke people would say hey we have this serious issue and then if you thought that was you know too far or something you'd say hey what are you doing to our society or you know you seem to be ruining the you know something that was good about what worked before but it was basically two serious conversations but as the wokeness became more extreme it became harder and harder to hold your frame that any of this was serious because it no longer looked like serious people it looked like you know the slippery slope just things went too too far and it just jumped the shark let me give you some examples apparently the daily wire uh just finished a movie that's a comedy that's going to make fun of trans athletes yeah the ones born male and and uh doing sports as a woman now did you see that coming I did not see that coming I I didn't know they were working on it but apparently it's looks like it's done now when was the last time you saw any comedy seriously when was the last time you went to see a comedy at a movie theater I don't even remember uh honestly this is not a joke I actually don't remember I think it's been years five years perhaps I think at least five years since I thought there was a movie in a theater that was worth going to a theater for and it's not just because I like to watch everything at home it's like I haven't even been tempted but uh this will be interesting I'll probably watch it the daily wires movie I don't know what the name of it is but you'll hear a lot about it so that's my evidence number one that wokeness has now completely turned into a a joke content is far more likely to be a joke than to be a serious conversation let me see you text me early in the morning my uh my college just texted me to ask me to uh give them money how do you think that's going to go no I'm not going to give money to a college do you know I I'm not going to give money to a college now this is my undergraduate college a heart Weck college and I don't really even know what they're up to but I guarantee they they're racist as hell I don't even have to check I don't even need to check am I right would you agree that a uh a liberal arts college in Upstate New York would you agree that I don't need to check to see if they've gone too far I don't need to check no they're asking me for money do you know how I treat that literally as a joke am I right yeah as I'm talking about how wokeness has become a joke when my Elma Mo Harwick College contacts me in the middle of my in the middle of my statements to ask for money I just think well that's funny a as if I would give them money as if there's not there's not the slightest chance of that all right uh in other news to back up this claim that wokeness has jumped the um I don't know if this is true but I saw on the internet a claim without a good source that said that there's a study that says if your business gets labeled racist on Yelp A year later your business will be up apparently the the claim and I'm not positive this is true but it sounds true because it kind of works in my head so I'm kind of I'm kind of biased where thinking is true but I don't know for sure that makes sense to me because I I think the people who read a story about a business being racist don't really care because it's like one one incident and you know maybe they just want their coffee so they're not they don't care but I could definitely see people who think that wokeness has gone too far to say all right I'm going to support that business I had I hadn't even thought about them before but I think I'll go there twice this week I can see that and and when you read the story that uh and again if is true I can't guarantee this is true but if it's true that uh that Yelp labeling somebody a racist company increases their business isn't that kind of funny am I wrong like when you hear that story you like that's kind of funny like what no matter what you think about the the base situation it's just funny that it doesn't work out out the way you'd think it would right so everything about this topic is literally the fod for a humorous movie or you read it you go okay that's kind of funny um we'll get to some more of those but uh let's talk about some other news uh thanks to uh Owen for all these little scientific uh tidbits that I see on X um so there's an alcohol addiction drug parade apps now it's too soon to know but in the course of testing something for something some people at the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University they uh found that something called semaglutide semaglutide turns out they were testing it for something else but as a side effect the people taking it dramatically reduced their alcohol consumption which wasn't the subject of the test and now they say hey maybe we should do a big test on this and see if it works imagine that I don't I don't think it'll work if I had the bat I would probably I would place a large bat against it cuz it's it's a little bit too good you know when you hear when you hear that you know cancer has been cured by something that sounds too good to be true it's probably too good to be true probably not true so this one's probably in the too good to be true category and it was only I think there were only six people that they looked at so six people is by no means telling you that it works or that it's safe but if all six people dramatically reduce their alcohol intake I wouldn't ignore it it's not proof but I wouldn't ignore six out of six all right uh there's a new Chinese app just what we need a new app that's uh getting tons of downloads and apparently what does is it creates these little dramas that run for like a minute but but there are lots of them so they they form a body of work after a while and and they're really cheesy and they're like little soap operas with Bad actors overacting in a soap opera way but apparently middle-aged women just love this thing so it's it's got millions of downloads it's called Uh real short real as in two EAS e e real short and just so you know it's coming now my question is this these little soap operas they have one thing in common to make it a dramatic soap opera you have to have people really dysfunctional you know people are cheating and you know that that baby doesn't belong to you and you know all that stuff do you think all of that works against let's say traditional families do do you think watching uh continuous content showing people cheating on their spouses and you know every manner of bad behavior I I feel like it's not exactly a good message and then it makes me wonder huh so Tik Tock got to the younger the younger kids and China owns you know at least could control it if they want to so that would give China the user interface to control the minds of our young people now they have a similarly addictive app that's aim directly at older women older as in you know the mid-range is that a coincidence or is that part of a plan to to weave their content around the brains of Americans so that they can tweak it as they need to you know Elon Musk does the best job of calling out the fact that our big problem is uh underpopulation do you think that this app will cause people to want to form families and have children or is it going to make is it going to make it look like just a you know a landmine if you even get in a relationship I feel if you watch enough content where people have bad relationships that's going to have a have an impact on you so I would be worried about second uh front in China's ability to control our minds that's real well going back to my category of uh wokeness Jumping the Shark turns out that Jewish students are suing my other Elma Mater is it Elma Mater or Elma moer modder right Elma m m okay my Elma m Berkeley so uh months ago I disavowed Berkeley for being a racist college so I didn't want to have anything to do with them and if I knew where my diploma was i' set it on fire because uh I feel embarrassed to be associated with Berkeley literally literally embarrassed and uh now Jewish groups are suing Berkeley for what they claim is you know just an contr control anti-jewish um policy I guess there are some groups that don't allow Jewish people to join what what there's some student groups that forbid Jewish people from joining them I I mean just hold that in your head for a second anyway now obviously these groups are you know special purpose groups or whatever so they would say no it's not about anti-jewish it's more about who's in so it's not about who's out you know it's about having a club for ourselves but the effect of it might be to uh just be purely racist so uh to me I think it's funny that the most liberal college in the world is being sued by its Jewish students for being racist isn't that funny to me that's funny it It's like you know uh all good things go to eventually because good intentions always turn into horrible things um anyway here's a here's a irony of the simulation if we live in a simulation clearly was made by people with a sense of humor who keep you yanking away the the dollar bill we find on the sidewalk it's like oh there's a dollar on the sidewalk and you you lean over to pullet and there's a string on it and Y it away here's another one uh as you know semiconductors are beginning to reach a limit to how much more you can do with silicon and and the common materials but there are new materials that are being considered so it turns out there is one material that is really really good for um for microcomputers semiconductors uh for semiconductors and it's a it's a diamond it's diamond seriously seriously the the one thing we need that would be you know the thing that's better than the thing we're using Diamond could you be any more inconvenient like what could be worse I literally can't think of anything that would be worse than finding out the only way we'll be able to keep up with with China is with diamonds so uh well you know maybe we can lab grow them I suppose some version of them yeah anyway it's just ironic that the the most expensive thing in the world it's probably not but well maybe it is are diamonds the most expensive by weight is that a true statement they're not the most expensive by weight anymore what would be most expensive by weight rubies Emerald not gold definitely not gold saffron uranium oh maybe uranium yeah maybe all right according to unusual Wales account on X China has launched the fastest internet 1.2 terabits per second it can transmit 150 movies that are 4K movies in one second 150 movies that are 4K you know the real dense ones in 1 second that's pretty awesome now that does uh certainly open up a question whether there's a Strategic Benefit to that is is that something that we need to catch up with right away because I I wonder I wonder if you had this internet speed and you attached it to one of these hedge funds that tries to do automated trading you know when they find small errors and the whole secret of the hedge fund they literally put their uh I think this is still true the the hedge fund would literally put their data center physically as close as possible to whatever they're interacting with you know to trade because that distance would give them you know a millionth of a microsc advantage over everybody else so they can front run trades but what if you got this 1.2 terabit thing you know I don't know does that give them some Advantage I don't know uh I I think not because it would have to be 1 Point ter 1.2 terabit all the way so might not help him if you're in a different country I don't know but uh that's fun I think that has more to do with uh virtual reality uh correct me if I'm wrong but the limit for something like meta to transmit you know realistic looking images like you're in a 3D World the limit is the transmission right it's not the computer and it's not the limit of the software am I right about that it's just a transmission limit well let me explain to you how the transmission limit could be gamed you ready let's say you want to transmit I think they're already doing this by the way but it's it's a fun technical fact suppose you wanted to uh send my image in 4k a full 3d looking image to appear on your computer at a distance and not have any lag there's a way to do that if you were to send a refreshed screen of every position I'm in you know your internet would choke especially if there are other characters in the scene but if you take one really good image of me and then you only transmit the changes the other side can recreate me without a full picture of me being transmitted for example if if the receiving side already had a full model of me and then I took my hand and I went like this uh it could use AI on its end to say well I I know what that would look like if his head looks like this here and he moves up here it's still G to look like the hand I'll just recreate it as if it had been transmitted but the only thing being transmitted is the coordinate changes you know where where your fingers are so it'd be like the end of my fingertip it knows that it was here but now it's here so it just fills in fills in the rest so uh we we already have a technology that can get around um a lot of speed limitations Scott look at what Elon said on your Tweet uhoh did did Elon just say something on a tweet of mine all right we're going to stop and look at that cuz because I'll be far too curious what should I look up look up Elon and then look at his comments all right let's see what he replied it's probably a reply right is a reply you could have just told me what he said oh my woke tweet all right I'll look at my woke tweet all right find me all right let's see what he said uh about wokeness jumping shark oh yeah so five minutes ago Elon Musk so here was my tweet so it's basically the theme of the show I I uh posted that it feels like wokeness has totally jumped the shark 90% of the stories in that domain are being treated as jokes and then I said balance will be restored and Elon replied indeed woke is a laughing stock at this point H have you noticed how useful Elon Musk is in um moving the needle on everything it it's it's hard to find any cat category that's interesting that he isn't the most important voice in it because you know if if Scott says you know wokeness is jump the shark you know maybe it makes some content for my show maybe maybe you repost it but if musk says it by tonight it could be a headline right like I wouldn't be surprised if you know Fox News covers this as a story because he's said it you know they wouldn't cover it if I said it it it's amazing how useful he is in in pushing energy toward one point of view because certainly it would be good if everybody started thinking oh wokeness is the funny stuff like it's just a joke and musk is saying it directly yeah it's basically a joke so that helps thank you for alerting me to that anyway um Hunters uh agreed to testify um and allow it to be a public hearing and so his lawyers have said on um on the 13th of December he'll he'll be in a closed door deposition now you probably ask yourself why would hunter wanted to be public like wouldn't you think that everything about that he would want to be you know lowkey so that well there are two possibilities one possibility is that his defense or whatever he plans to say is so strong that it would be better to put that out there than to have people wonder what happened that might be but I have another theory I think that uh Hunter was high and his lawyer called him and and they had a bad connection and the lawyer said uh Hunter the committee is asking about a closed door closed door you want to be closed door closed meeting or an unclosed meeting and Hunter thought he said closed and so Hunter said well no I don't I don't want clothes I don't want to wear any clothes have you seen his selfies it's funni if you've seen the Selfies he doesn't like clothes when he's with a group of people you put several people in a in a room with Hunter the first thing he does is take off his clothes right I mean margerie Taylor Green's going to be in the room the guy's going to start stripping he's going to be Lauren BT wow right he's just going to start shedding those clothes so I think it was just a misunderstanding between closed and clothed I think that's all that's all it was that's just a guess it's just a guess well um Biden is apparently going to use or talking about using the defense production act to make sure that our Pharma products get made in the US which is a big problem uh because we it's hard for us first of all it's hard for the United States to do manufacturing apparently but it would take a long time to bring everything back and then we'd still be dependent on you know maybe the base materials even if we manufactured here we still have to get our base materials from a potentially unfriendly country so he's going to use the defense production act which gives the president extra powers and money to you know Force things to happen quickly um I'm going to surprise you on this one I'm 100% behind this anybody disagree I'm 100% behind it and I think Trump would have done it I think V ramaswami might have done it I don't know but this feels like me to me this feels right 100% And you know for th for those of you who Wonder would I ever say anything good about a Democrat or Biden if they did something that you know clearly made sense yes this clearly makes sense in my opinion now the execution could be botched you know because it's a government but yeah I back this 100% this should not even be about politics um well there's a story I saw in a Joe Pompano post um about Sports Illustrated apparently Sports Illustrated bought or created these AI generated head shots so it looked like uh real human beings were writing articles that in fact were written by AI but Sports illustrat was trying to pass them off you know with a fake picture as if a human had done it now when they got called down about it they just deleted the content um but here's the interesting part of the story two parts that are interesting number one it's kind of interesting that they tried to get away with it because imagine how much money they could save if they ran opinion Pieces by robots and people thought they were human and they're like oh okay good opinion but here's what I think they had to get rid of it immediately upon realizing it was fake even though they could have said you know you caught us uh so we're going to label these as AI but we're still going to keep the pictures and you know we think it's fun to do AI opinions that's if people had liked the AI opinions I believe this is more of what um I'm going to call the Adams rule of AI art if if you're the first one to say you get to name it after yourself that's how it works the Adams law of AI art and it goes like this AI generated art which would include writing and include opinion that's art uh will not be interesting to humans if they know it's AI generated and I've said this before but just summarizing uh I believe our appreciation of art has a little bit to do with the quality of the art but a lot to do with what you assume about the talent of the person who created it meaning that the art and the artist are the same you're you're you're triggering of what makes you say whoa look at that art is not the art that's not what triggers you so art by itself is just dead it just sits there no matter how well it's done no matter how well it's done it's just dead and it sits there until your brain says how did a human make that wow a human made that and what you're reacting to is the artist you're reacting to the talent of the artist which which is an extension of your mating Instinct because we're we're attracted to talent because that's a tell for somebody with good genes any kind of talent and art is the way you express your talent so the Adams rule of AI art states that as soon as the audience knows it's AI AI they will lose interest via the mating Instinct being you know taken out of the taken out of the conversation you think I'm wrong do you think I'm wrong here's my summary of that argument you ready here's the summary if AI had created the Mona Lisa and you knew it was AI the Mona Lisa's total value would be a nickel nobody would buy the mon Lisa everything about the mo Lisa is about the artist right it's all about the artist how about a van go who would buy a vanau if they thought it had been randomly generated by AI the thing that makes vanau so interesting is probably because he had mental problems but when you look at it you say how like how did that come out of a human mind like what what extra is going on in there in this case it wasn't an advantage maybe yeah all right um and then imagine Modern Art you know we all laugh about the modern art it's like it'll be a big white canvas and a like a pickle or a soup can and you'll say that's not art you know I don't love looking at that that's just you put something in the middle now and yet people pay a lot of money for it but imagine that AI made that art imagine if AI did The Soup cans that anti waral did how how many AI generated Soup cans would you buy how about zero yeah zero because there's no artist involved so just watch for that and I believe it will be in every form of art from opinion writing visual art musical every form I think it will be the same now uh when I said this online a uh another user of the xplatform asked me the following question which is a pretty good question says well if if you believe that it's all about the meing Instinct and that people aren't going to be attracted to AI Scott how do you explain that there are AI uh models within the um what's it called uh only fans did you see how I pretended I didn't know what it was called what what's it called it's like only fans or something yeah never heard of it so actually I don't use it believe it or not but um so how could it be true the Adams rule of AI art if in fact people are making money with AI generated porn is that a good question question here was my response por is not art por is not exactly art and and here's what I mean yeah and you're going to say to yourself but Scott it is it is a form of Art here's where the art happens the art happens in your head losing connection here do you think You.

Tube's sending me like a warning shot or something might be a warning shot like don't talk about this topic oh cuz kids are watching or something maybe it's because kids could watch is that why or did locals oh locals glitch too what when locals glitches I can't see it on my end because it was continuous so maybe it was the internet all right but my point was that the art happens in your imagination right because there's actually not much are involved in watching two people do the same thing that you watch two other people do the day before and two other people the day before it's kind of the same you know half dozen things they're doing it's not exactly art but um in your head it is so the Arts in your head but I would also argue that it's there's a good chance that the AI generated porn may disappear I think there's a novelty effect if if I were in the um AI business like a tacky and I and I heard that there was uh you know only fans had a successful model that was really making money and people liked it I would probably sign up just to see it I would do that I mean literally I would do that without the sexual interest I would see how good it is now I did the same thing with the app that gives you a digital girlfriend like I didn't think I was going to have a digital girlfriend for the rest of my life but I really want to experience it because I want to feel like you know what does the future look like with this AI stuff so some of it novelty all right gp4 AI for radiology is as good as doctors now so uh if you're looking at a radiology Imaging you know of some internal part of your body um apparently the AI can find the pattern meaning it can find the fault in the image whatever is wrong with you as well as a doctor now now what happens when you fast forward one year and it becomes common knowledge that the AI is better than a human doctor and let's say the AI says it looks like you have a tumor but the experienced doctor looks at the same image and says I don't think so I don't think that is a tumor so I wouldn't operate because you know the operation is dangerous but the AI is saying yeah yeah that's a tumor which which would indicate you know you got to operate immediately so what's the doctor going to do uh here's what I worry about I worry that the doctor will have to agree with the AI because to do otherwise would be risking a lawsuit so the doctor is going to say I don't think you should operate but if the AI says you should and it turns out I'm wrong you're going to die and then your lawyer your family's lawyer is going to say the the AI told you to operate and you also know the AI is better than humans why did you override the AI when the AI is the superior diagnostic tool you see what I'm saying I think the doctor just becomes like the dog that uh you know guards the machine you you you know the old joke about um what is it the there's an airplane that's so advanced in flying itself that there only you know you only need two people to fly it you need a pilot and you need a dog and the the job of the dog is to make sure the pilot doesn't touch anything that's the joke so it's going to be like that the doctors are going to have to agree with AI or just get suit and then why do you need a doctor pretty soon doctoring becomes either just pure research or something I don't know it's going to be interesting well here's an update on Alex Soros uh I already talked about this but there's a community no added to make it more fun so Alex Soros as you know is has taken over for his dad George Soros in the in the Soros funds and giving out the charity money Etc and you also know that um he gets a lot of heat the Soros is do for funding uh the the campaigns for Progressive Das who like not prosecute a lot of uh lesser crimes and it's making the cities look unlivable because of the unprosecuted crimes but Alex Soros uh defending himself he posted uh uh where are murder rates actually higher and he says not in Progressive cities and he linked to an article that said that um conservative um rural areas have you know increasing murder rates and um inner cities that might be run by democrats you know maybe not as much so he compared the conservative rural places to the Democrat run cities and said hey it's not much worse than the city so why are you you know why are you bothering me now as I as I uh reposted him with a quote um I pointed out that the only reason you would compare a rural place to a city is if you're trying to hide the impact of your policies does that sound fair because it's such an obvious wrong comparison the only reason you would do an obviously wrong comparison is if you're trying to hide something or or you're trying to make something look true that's not true I guess that would be the other way all right and then and then I went on to explain that you should compare cities the cities you know Democrat run to Republican run and you you should compare rural to rural to the extent that they're you know any liberal run rural areas uh there must be somewhere now I thought that was just obvious and it and it also made me wonder is the situation with Alex Soros that he knows there's a problem and he was intentionally using a misleading comparison to cover over the problem cuz I can't read his head I can't read his mind so I don't know but the other possibility is he really didn't know and and I think that's the stronger possibility well let let me let me develop this how often do you see uh super leftist stuff on the xplatform I feel like I'm completely shut out from it the only time I see left leaving content is when somebody's mocking it on the right and I didn't I didn't turn off any you know I didn't turn any knobs so I didn't see uh Democrats like I want to see the Democrats but but the algorithm has locked me out now how about in person do I see a lot of left leaning people in person who would maybe correct me if I had some wrong opinions because I'd only seen one side of the issue I actually don't I don't have any conversations with people who disagree with me in person I'm sure I'm sure there are people who disagree with me but I don't have any conversations about it you know my daily life would be people who don't care about politics at all let me say that again I don't spend time with people who care about politics at all you should see me trying to talk about my day hey how was your day um whole bunch of things you don't care about and I'm done that's my whole day bunch of stuff that none of you care about who you know I know well enough to see in person I think I have one or two friends you know who engage in that content and otherwise nobody cares so here's my point imagine you're Alex Soros how many staunch Republicans do you encounter in person and have meaningful conversations with I'm guessing zero would you argue with that I'm guessing exactly zero so I think you could rule out that anybody in person is saying you know Alex maybe that thing you're looking at is not the whole story or have you consider this I don't think it happens because it doesn't happen to me and if it doesn't happen to me why would it happen to him so I I because I think my situation is normal you know you just you just get closed off in your little bubble and people don't want to make trouble too right people don't want to since Alex sorus is Rich probably his friends who maybe even do disagree with them a little bit maybe they don't mention it because they kind of like having a rich friend that's a thing so I don't think he hears any consenting opin desent no any disagreeing opinions in person now do you think he sees them in the media how often is he reading Breitbart zero how often does he spend time on Fox News zero I'm guessing zero right how often does he follow me on social media he doesn't I follow him he doesn't follow me so my best guess is he's actually has no exposure whatsoever to a countering argument that he would find stronger than his own opinion and there are op there are C arguments that are stronger than his own opinion a lot stronger so um but here's the uh the beauty of the story is that now he he posted this thing he he might have noticed that my account um countered him because I have a million followers remember I told you if I had a million followers I could run the world this is what I'm talking about because the only way I could break through that bubble is if my account is big enough that somebody's going to either mention it to him or he's going to notice it on his own because it's a big account you need about a million people to break through the bubble on the other side and and then only sometimes like you have to do your best work to like get in there in any way but on top of that um the community notes said so it was added to the Soros uh post so Community note says on X the five cities with the highest murder rate and their Mayors are and it goes you know St.

Louis Baltimore New Orleans Detroit Cleveland and they're all Democrats so the top five murder cities are all Democrats now the other thing I criticized Alex's uh post was that murder isn't really the big question murder is the worst crime but it's not the big question when we're talking about the um liberal Das cuz unless I'm wrong about this can you give me a fact check on this Democrats don't like murder do they I I think they're opposed to murderers so I don't think there's a giant difference between Democrats and Republicans when it comes to whether a murderer should be in jail am I wrong about that AR aren't they pretty close when it comes to murder CU nobody's disagreeing like well maybe that murderer should get bail I don't think so but all of the other crimes the property crimes and the the Lesser violence those are the ones that really would show if you're looking for what's the impact of a progressive da so when Alex looks at murder rates he's first of all looking in the wrong box that's not where the problem would be probably you know I would look there too but I'm not looking to expect the problem there so it's a version and if he can get you to think that murder rate is a key metric then he wins cuz it's not the key metric it's the one you should ignore the most actually perhaps so now that they got a community note and uh I think uh oh and El Elon Musk actually weighed in on this because the community note and he said those who can't handle reality will leave this platform uh due to community notes but the public will increasingly come to realize this is still musk uh that X is the best source of Truth causing our user numbers to Rises the abandoned less accurate sources of information true true yeah and X is rising in traffic so it's working so so now there are three things that happened with Alex's um four things actually with Alex's post which are all productive in my opinion number one a a high high account you know with a lot of traffic in mine countered him in a way which if I may be humble was really succinct and on point so he could have noticed that maybe not but he could have number two um the community notes makes it a bigger story so the odds that he got fact checked by Community notes raises again the odds that he sought number three um Elon Musk weighed in in favor of the community notes obviously so I think everybody notices when Elon Musk comments on their work would you agree how do you not notice if Elon Musk comments on your note on X so that probably takes it to the next level of he'll probably see it so that's three things that are working in the right direction the fourth thing and again with all modesty if I did a good job of showing that that was the wrong comparison then it also educated a million people to if they see it again say oh that's the wrong comparison and that's really valuable because that means that that Alex Soros might hear it from different places at different times and the more you hear the same thing the more true it becomes right so that's uh that's the update on that um the uh publication called Dead spin which apparently is just a bunch of racists um they said that uh the NFL needs to speak out against the one writer said uh the NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan and black face and Native headdress oh my God so there was a young boy who who was wearing black face and a native you know a native uh head headgear and she' be called out for that that black face oh except it was only black face on one side the other side was painted red because it was the color of the team black and red had nothing to do with blackface so do you know who called them out Community notes Community notes for the win call them out I'm starting to think that Community notes uh it's you know it's in a nent form so it should get better over time it's one of the greatest inventions in modern history is simple it's a simple little model and the model is if you didn't know the model is that people of all types left and right leaning have to agree on the note or it can't go forward so Community notes doesn't have the option of being biased because the other people will say nope nope too biased and that's it it it just doesn't go anywhere if one side says that biased but if one side says somebody's talking about the murder rate in these cities and the side that wants to you know make the opposite Point says we're just going to say what the murder rate is do you disagree that the data we're using is correct and then the left says oh that is on point and the data is correct what are we going to do we we don't love it we don't love it but we're honest Brokers and what you're saying is on point and it is honest that's huge that the fact that that works at all is just amazing it's really one of the the greatest things I've ever seen in invention wise as an invention is just one of the greatest things all right um let's talk about the musk trip to Israel now that we've got a little time to digest it you know Elan musk had been accused of being an anti-semite for something he said that was obviously taken out of context advertisers left because of the protest so partly partly to address that obviously but also partly because he's very interested in the world and peace and you know keeping things together on this planet he decided to go over to Israel and he spent the day with Netanyahu he toured the kabut where much of the violence happened on October 7th he watched the uh the video compilation from the Go.

Pro cameras of the terrorists you know with Horrors that I would never watch that I can't even imagine having that in my head um one of the uh family members of a kidnapped person uh offered him the dog tags of the kidnapped person who's not yet released Elon said he would wear the dog tags until the family member was released oh my God he's good at this oh my God he's good at this um and but here here's the the kill shot to the whole thing so the the trip itself was in my opinion Pitch Perfect he hit every note right every note here here's the things he got right 100% backing Israel to kill Hamas because they have a preference for killing civilians and he says if if somebody wants to kill civilians the only way to deal with them is kill him perfect perfect then he says he's is willing to help rebuild uh Gaza oh my God now I don't know what that help would look like but if you were a Gaza resident and you hope to ever go back and you found out that the most capable person who designs anything he's the best product person in the world right now the best product designer for any design if it's a product is Elon Musk and if the product is a new city just imagine I mean can you imagine what he could do with a whole city if he starts from scratch you know putting in self-driving cars and you know uh Tesla solar panels and he's probably got some good idea for desalinization I mean it could be crazy it could be just crazy how good it is when he's done so we don't know what kind of help he's going to give but to say he's going to help um allows him to be on both sides because he needs to be on both sides when I say both sides I mean he needs to be on the side of life for both sides not guilty life but he's on the side of innocent life and that's the right place to be so he gave something for Israel you know he showed them he showed them the the respect and the consideration and and really he literally damaged himself permanently to make the point I will never watch that video of the actual Massacre because I do not want that in my head I know what that would do to me I would be permanently damaged that's brain damage right he actually signed up for intentional brain damage to show the degree of support he has for this he will never forget those videos they they will they will be there like a like a virus or a or a disease in his brain for the rest of his life the rest of his life he'll be damaged by that and he did that voluntarily amazing really so and then he also talked about the U the densification of Gaza and he talked about how the importance of controlling the school system so that the education doesn't produce more terrorists is there any note that he missed he didn't miss a note that that is as perfect as you can do this kind of stuff I've never seen anybody do it that well actually that's the best I've ever seen and I would like to uh compliment Israel and netanyahu's staff because they were as wise as musk was in knowing how to do this for you know Optimum Mutual benefit uh but here's the here's the uh punchline or the kill shot to ad all I don't know if you know this name Dove uh hiken uh used to be in politics in New York state but uh he's he's well known as a defender of Jews defender of Israel you know one of one of the stronger more public voices about who's an anti-semite and who's not and he did a video he didn't just do a post with words he did a whole video in which he said I've devoted over 50 years to fighting Jew hatred I can smell an anti-semite a mile away and let's be completely clear on this Elon Musk is no anti-semite now I am going to give him a little bit of uh Dove because he had to add this he's made some mistakes in his judgment you know I do that too like if I'm supporting somebody that I don't support every single thing they've ever done you know I'll do that well you know he's made some mistakes but here's the better way to do it the better way to do it is to say I haven't agreed with him on everything it's kind of a dick move to say he's made some mistakes in the same breath that you're supporting him it's just a dick move so Dove is you know got a great reputation does good work so I respect him and his work so this would just be advice not criticism I wouldn't word it that way if your if your overall point is supportive don't say he's made some mistakes say I would have done it differently it's the same thing but it's just not a dick way to say it all right I would like to call your attention to an account which fascinates me because I'm surprised he's still alive all right the account is called martyr made it's two words if you just search for that on X so Marr and the word made um m a d and um here's why it's interesting so this account is doing a pretty aggressive effort of trying to do what I'll call I'll put this in quotes uh both siding the issue both siding the issue issue with Gaza and the Palestinians and Israel now he's not bull sightings October 7th right he's completely against the violence of October 7th he's not pramas not pramas let me say that three times he's not pramas not not not okay but he is trying to to create a complete picture so that we better understand what everybody's thinking and that part is is a value but it is really dangerous territory because you so easily could get lumped in with the supporting Hamas and then you know your life is destroyed so I respect him for the risk that he's taking in the service of making sure that we have a more complete understanding of things however watch me watch me not say he made some mistakes because right I'm I'm going to model my own opinion I would say there are a few things that that I would have handled differently see isn't that better like you keep your respect to the person but you can still say there are a few things I would handled differently so on one of his posts today um he was talking about well I'll just read his post so he said this and I'll tell you what I I had a problem with he said where did people get this idea that half a century of brutal military occupation he's talking about Israel and the Palestinians could possibly result in anything but burning hatred of the occupiers his word by the occupied how would you feel about foreign soldiers strip searching your sister or killing your little nephew of course those are anecdotals and things now so here was my response number one good question that's a good question how would you feel perfectly good question but it's not the only questions so where I would have handled it differently is this is a totally good question but it's incomplete and in its incompleteness it maybe is misleading so here are the questions I asked a related question is whether Israel would be under the same level of danger from Hamas no matter what they did don't you think that murder Ma's assumption is that Israel would be under less risk if they only treated the Palestinians the way the Palestinians wanted to be treated that's a good question too CU my assumption is that Israel would be under exactly the same risk because the I I never hear the Palestinians say you strip searched my sister I've never heard that I mean I'm sure that there you know plenty of people mad about plenty of things but it doesn't rise to the level of political speech when they talk politically they say we want to wipe out Israel and kill all the Jews Hamas do not the Palestinians per se so it seems to me that the point of view that um all Israel all Jews must be removed from Israel and from The River To The Sea I don't think Israel would be any safer if they were just the nicest people the world in every possible way from water rights to travel to security I don't think it would make any difference do you it would definitely make a difference for the non-military population for how they feel about the whole thing but it wouldn't affect Hamas Hamas doesn't even have a list of Demands have you ever seen a list of Demands you know stop strip searching our women and whatever else is on it you know water rights and travel and I haven't even seen it if if the leaders of the Palestinians wanted the public to be looking at you know the the real treatment of how Israel treats you know the the West Bank in Gaza Etc if they if that was the issue it would be at the top of the issue yeah every day you'd say every day you'd see the DU saying well what do you expect you know Israel does this and this and this to them so it's a natural outcome I don't think anybody's thinking that way I think you got people who are trained to want to destroy all Jews and that's the beginning and the end of the conversation so now but should Israel treat all the Palestinians in the best possible way probably but what is the argument for why they wouldn't what what do you suppose would be Israel's counterargument to the Palestinians say hey we're treated terribly here I think the answer would be the only reason we do any of this stuff is because of the security threat we wouldn't need to search your sister if somebody's sister were not coming in here from trying to kill us right so I think the response would be if you can make the security system go away then we could fix a lot of these things that you're complaining about in daily life I assume that would be the argument now I'm not taking aide if it if it felt like I'm taking aside I'm not CU I don't really know you know the the more daily life problems and and which way the security concerns go that's a little more complicated than I could wrap my head around I'm just telling you that that should be a question too if the question is how would you feel if you were abused this long you got to ask why are they abusing you is it strictly for security or is it economic religious is there something else going on i' i' like to know that and then the next question is what other options did the Palestinians have was their only option to suffer and then support Hamas because in my view of things um the Palestinians have had enough International public support for enough years that they should have very clearly you know succinctly stated their maybe top five demands and what they needed and I think they would have got them the trouble is that one of their top five demands and maybe number one is okay number one kill all the Jews and remove remove their corpses from Israel like so here's the problem I don't think that the Palestinians or anybody in power could have ever put together a list of if you just do these five things we can live in peace you we're just asking you stop abusing Us in these five ways nobody's ever done that here's why I think they don't do it if a Palestinian leader put together a list of five things that you needed to do in order to have peace and none of those five things said uh get all Jews out of Israel the leader of the Palestinians would be executed by his own people he would be dead for putting together a list that would give them peace without their primary objective of getting control of Israel so in my opinion the Palestinians uh clear clear strategy of not asking for the other stuff and and making that like a the entire package of claims seems to be a preference you know maybe it's not a conscious preference but in terms of the whole it operates as a preference and the preference is if we can't get this one thing which is all the Jews out of Israel if we can't get that we don't even need to talk about 4 through five it's like you know we need that first that's the opening bid there's nothing to talk about under those conditions under those conditions Israel has a free pass I hate to say it you know I don't mean on a Moral Moral or ethical basis but they have a free pass cuz their situation would not get worse if they were nicer or would not get better if they were nicer so that kind of limits their options as well anyway I don't have a uh a hard opinion about what should happen over there what I have is an observation that there aren't any good guys that are organized enough to deal with them so Israel always says we would negotiate peace if he told us who to negotiate with have you heard that before who who are we going to talk to there's nobody to talk to how do you do a peace deal when you literally can't even get a meeting with anybody who's in charge who would even be a little bit interested in it so that's a good point too anyway so um Mike Ben continues to be a national treasur here as he's helping us expl he's helping us understand how much influence the security State you know the intelligence agencies have have on our daily life because you don't realize how much control they have over various entities and groups and the media Etc and so Mike Ben on the xplatform is always calling that out now he points out that Business Insider a publication which seems to be very opinionated about some political stuff um was bought a few years ago by what Mike calls a major CIA media conduit so uh some I think a German entity or something but the publishing company that bought it apparently is well understood as a CIA cutout and we're not guessing and and apparently we know there's this thing called uh what's it called the Integrity initiative this is also from Mike Benz something called the Integrity initiative was this big umbrella group that would be the sort of U Mothership for all these different uh cutouts that look like they're independent people but they're really you know they're just sent by the mothership so a lot of the people from One go to the other you know there's a lot of cross-pollination of the people now if you didn't know that you would read Business Insider and you'd say hey there's news but if you know it you know that the only news that would be in Business Insider if I'll just say F this CIA influence is still working through the buyer all the way down to the stories don't know but if that's the case then you'd have to read their coverage with one eyebrow up it's like I don't know maybe maybe yes maybe no so don't believe anything about that there interesting story about the Trump lawyers I saw one opinion that well I'll tell you what that was his lawyers have asked for uh all information regarding government informance on January 6 so you think to yourself aha Trump's defense is going to be that there were so many Feds that they were the reason for the violence aha that's what you say right but apparently the lawyers are explaining in their uh request for this information they're saying it's uh not because he thought the feds instigated the problem but rather wait for for it because it would indicate whether the feds did enough to prevent it in other words in other words they're going to argue there weren't enough agents there now here's what I think this is just my speculation I think this is just the cleverest way to find out how many agents were there because if you said tell us how many agents are there couldn't the government say we can't tell you that and then that's the end of it but suppose they say we're trying to prove that they didn't have enough there would that put a different kind of pressure on them to um to say we did a good job because we had enough people there th this might be way more clever than you think it is uh but it was described by one Observer as as uh basically giving up on the idea that there were so many feds there that the feds caused the problem like he's giving up on that I don't see that I don't think they're giving up on that at all I think if they have the number of Agents if if it's a low here's what I think if they get a number which is iffy if they get a number and it's like a low number then they can claim well that's the problem you knew there was going to be a problem why did you have so few people there how is that my fault that everybody knew this was coming cuz they did everybody knew the protest coming and and you underst staffed so you understaffed but I got impeached because you understaffed is that is that what you're telling me so that would be one argument now suppose Against All Odds they give a number it's like a crazy big number suppose they come out there like 80 or 100 undercover of people if you heard there were 100 of them and I'm just making up that number no reason to believe it wouldn't you say to yourself well they must have caused it yeah because 100 could have stopped it you know that's what your brain would say that's not necessarily true but your brain would say man if they had 100 people they could have stopped it but they must have been there to start it right so your brain would play tricks on you if it's a big number and it would play a different trick on you if it's a l a small number so I think Trump might have a good lawyer in the in that mix there there's something about this I like so much so much well speaking of Biden and inflation so Biden's trying to argue that corporations raised their prices because their own their own costs were high but then when the inflation went down according to Biden but not too many other people the corporations didn't lower the prices so you know what the problem is it's those corporations no it's not how much money he printed it's not how much he borrowed no no no it's those evil corporations that's all he has imagine having nothing else to run on but that yeah inflation's high but I blame the corporations because you know what the free market stopped working that's right the free market has stopped working that's what he's arguing because if if a company raised its prices and then its cost of production went down but it didn't lower its price it's competing against somebody you know unless there's collusion or Monopoly activity that could be too anyway uh Trump is finding a way to lose it looks like uh Trump is going to take a crack at getting rid of Obamacare that is such a losing strategy my God how many times have I told you that nobody's even brought up Medicare I'm sorry nobody brought up health care healthc care became was the biggest thing and it just stopped being an issue when was the last time you heard anybody complain about Obamacare a year I haven't even heard the name in two years probably well so here's what I think uh I said this in the beginning and I'm going to double down on it I think Obama was a genius about Obamacare and in public Obama said that Obamacare was basically a mess but once it got in the system it would be too hard to remove it and so the government would be forced to keep tweaking and improving it until he had something that worked because remember Healthcare was like this huge unsolvable problem no nobody could figure out how to create a good health care system that would also be supported by people there wasn't any way to do it if he had the best idea in the world the other side would have said no and there just wasn't any way to make a good one so instead of making a good one he actually in public said directly so we're going to give you a bad one and we're going to stick it with the country and when they're too hooked on it they'll have to fix it and that's actually happening I think I I think that I think there have been enough tweaks um I think there probably been enough tweaks that people just stopped complaining about it or they adjusted to the cost got used to it started worrying about other things but here's my point uh I'm not going to make an argument that Obamacare is good if you heard that that's not what I'm saying let me say it again I'm not making an argument that Obamacare is good my argument is it's no longer a political question but if Trump says I'm going to get rid of it it's just going to turn into the worst political thing of all time you should just ignore it if people if nobody's complaining about it at least you know in the media and social media I don't see anybody complaining if they're not complaining move on to something they are complaining about that you can fix that to me to me this would be like the um the abortion question it would be another way to lose un principle on principle he might say you know this has to be fixed I know people aren't complaining but on principle there's some things wrong with it we need to fix but that's how you lose an election on principle so you have to make that decision you have to make the v v the vake decision to just say I'm trying to win this time you know so I'm going to let Tik Tok survive until I win all right um and that ladies and gentlemen concludes my prepared remarks for what will no doubt be the best live stream you've ever seen in your life probably probably will go down in history as the greatest thing that ever happened all right um yeah hit that subscribe button hit the like button you You.

Tubers you know what I realize I don't do it's so dumb yeah you're going to laugh at how dumb this is uh after after I do the uh live stream you know this this will become posted as a as a recorded video on You.

Tube I never remember to retweet it the the most obvious thing you should do like I create this content and it just sits there and I don't even promote it I think I might start doing that today anyway hit the subscription button if you like it and uh thanks for joining you are wonderful um you can persuade him to talk to you in an interview online I don't know we'll try bye for

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams there's

never been a better time in your life

and if you'd like to take it up to

levels that people can't even understand

well all you need for that is a cuper

and mugger a glass of tanker cheler

Stein a kinen Jugger flask a vessel of

any kind fill it with your favorite

liquid I like coffee join me now for the

unparallel pleasure of the dopa Bean the

end of the day the thing that makes

everything better it's called the

simultaneous Sip and happens now

go savor it savor

it good that was some good sipping I'd

like to compliment all of you who

participated for your excellent sipping

talents well I have a theme for today's

show and the theme

is is it my

imagination or has wokeness totally

jumped the

shark now if you don't recognize that

American TV reference Jumping the Shark

is a reference to a originally a

reference to a TV show they had a

ridiculous plot Happy Days was the name

of the TV show where one of the

characters would be water skiing foni

was the character and he would jump off

a some kind of a ramp water skiing and

he would jump over a

shark now since the show was usually on

the stage in the set you know just doing

funny things became you know huge huge

hit but after a while the good writers

move on so I don't know if you know this

this is why all good TV shows eventually

fail

uh let's see if you know this the reason

a great TV show

fails pretty much all of them is that if

you get a job as a writer for a top

number one show you're going to get a

nice paycheck so of course the the best

writers would try to work at the best

shows but once you've worked at the best

show for a year you can get a much

bigger paycheck somewhere else so it's

basically a way to you know siphon The

Good the good writers through the good

show but almost immediately to a higher

pay paying job for some new show that

you know needs somebody who's got that

experience and

credibility so the the nature of the

model is that any good show should

attract good writers but over time

they're going to be moving out too fast

and it should be self-destructive anyway

that's just on the

side but it seems to me that uh and so

the the jump the shark thing means that

a formally good thing went too far it it

just became too ridiculous to even work

anymore that's what Jumping the Shark

means so you tell me if we've reached

that point in my opinion now keeping in

mind I see a certain amount of uh right

leaning uh Media stuff on the internet

so I probably see more of that than

anything else but in my experience at

least

90% of all the stories in the wokeness

domain from racism to trans to

everything else 90% of the news stories

are treated as

jokes true true or

not in the beginning of the wokeness

trend there would be two sides to every

story but both sides would treat it

seriously right so the woke people would

say hey we have this serious issue and

then if you thought that was you know

too far or something you'd say hey what

are you doing to our society or you know

you seem to be ruining the you know

something that was good about what

worked before but it was basically two

serious

conversations but as the wokeness became

more

extreme it became harder and harder to

hold your frame that any of this was

serious because it no longer looked like

serious people it looked like you know

the slippery slope just things went too

too far and it just jumped the shark let

me give you some examples apparently the

daily

wire uh just finished a movie that's a

comedy that's going to make fun of trans

athletes yeah the ones born male and and

uh doing sports as a

woman now did you see that coming I did

not see that coming I I didn't know they

were working on it but apparently it's

looks like it's done

now when was the last time you saw any

comedy seriously when was the last time

you went to see a comedy at a movie

theater I don't even remember uh

honestly this is not a joke I actually

don't

remember I think it's been

years five years perhaps I think at

least five years since I thought there

was a movie in a theater that was worth

going to a theater for and it's not just

because I like to watch everything at

home it's like I haven't even been

tempted but uh this will be interesting

I'll probably watch it the daily wires

movie I don't know what the name of it

is but you'll hear a lot about it so

that's my evidence number one that

wokeness has now completely turned into

a a joke

content is far more likely to be a joke

than to be a serious

conversation let me see you text me

early in the morning

my uh my college just texted me to ask

me to uh give them

money how do you think that's going to

go no I'm not going to give money to a

college do you know I I'm not going to

give money to a college now this is my

undergraduate college a heart Weck

college and I don't really even know

what they're up to but I guarantee they

they're racist as hell I don't even have

to

check I don't even need to check am I

right would you agree that a uh a

liberal arts college in Upstate New York

would you agree that I don't need to

check to see if they've gone too far I

don't need to check no they're asking me

for money do you know how I treat

that literally as a

joke am I right yeah as I'm talking

about how wokeness has become a joke

when my Elma Mo Harwick College contacts

me in the middle of my in the middle of

my statements to ask for money I just

think well that's funny a as if I would

give them

money as if there's not there's not the

slightest chance of

that all right uh in other news to back

up this claim that wokeness has jumped

the

um I don't know if this is true but I

saw on the internet a claim without a

good source that said that there's a

study that says if your business gets

labeled racist on Yelp A year later your

business will be

up

apparently the the claim and I'm not

positive this is true but it sounds true

because it kind of works in my head so

I'm kind of I'm kind of biased where

thinking is true but I don't know for

sure

that makes sense to me because I I think

the people who read a story about a

business being

racist don't really care because it's

like one one incident and you know maybe

they just want their coffee so they're

not they don't care but I could

definitely see people who think that

wokeness has gone too far to say all

right I'm going to support that business

I had I hadn't even thought about them

before but I think I'll go there twice

this week I can see that

and and when you read the story that uh

and again if is true I can't guarantee

this is true but if it's true that uh

that Yelp labeling somebody a racist

company increases their

business isn't that kind of

funny am I wrong like when you hear that

story you like that's kind of

funny like what no matter what you think

about the the base situation it's just

funny that it doesn't work out out the

way you'd think it would right so

everything about this topic is literally

the fod for a humorous movie or you read

it you go okay that's kind of

funny um we'll get to some more of those

but uh let's talk about some other

news uh thanks to uh Owen for all these

little scientific uh tidbits that I see

on X um so there's an alcohol addiction

drug parade apps now it's too soon to

know but in the course of testing

something for something some people at

the University of Oklahoma and Oklahoma

State University they uh found that

something called

semaglutide

semaglutide turns out they were testing

it for something else but as a side

effect the people taking it dramatically

reduced their alcohol consumption which

wasn't the subject of the test and now

they say hey maybe we should do a big

test on this and see if it works imagine

that I don't I don't think it'll work if

I had the bat I would probably I would

place a large bat against it cuz it's

it's a little bit too good you know when

you hear when you hear that you know

cancer has been cured by something that

sounds too good to be true it's probably

too good to be true probably not true so

this one's probably in the too good to

be true category and it was only I think

there were only six people that they

looked at so six people is by no means

telling you that it works or that it's

safe but if all six people dramatically

reduce their alcohol intake I wouldn't

ignore

it it's not proof but I wouldn't ignore

six out of

six all right uh there's a new Chinese

app just what we need a new app that's

uh getting tons of downloads and

apparently what does is it creates these

little

dramas that run for like a

minute but but there are lots of them so

they they form a body of work after a

while and and they're really cheesy and

they're like little soap operas with Bad

actors overacting in a soap opera way

but apparently middle-aged women just

love this thing so it's it's got

millions of downloads it's called Uh

real

short real as in two EAS e e real

short and just so you know it's coming

now my question is

this these little soap

operas they have one thing in common to

make it a dramatic soap opera you have

to have people really dysfunctional you

know people are cheating and you know

that that baby doesn't belong to you and

you know all that stuff do you think all

of that works against let's say

traditional

families do do you think watching uh

continuous content showing people

cheating on their spouses and you know

every manner of bad

behavior I I feel like it's not exactly

a good message and then it makes me

wonder

huh so Tik Tock got to the younger the

younger kids and China owns you know at

least could control it if they want to

so that would give China the user

interface to control the minds of our

young

people now they have a similarly

addictive app that's aim directly at

older women older as in you know the

mid-range is that a

coincidence or is that part of a plan to

to weave their content around the brains

of Americans so that they can tweak it

as they need

to you know Elon Musk does the best job

of calling out the fact that our big

problem is uh

underpopulation do you think that this

app will cause people to want to form

families and have children or is it

going to make is it going to make it

look like just a you know a landmine if

you even get in a

relationship I feel if you watch enough

content where people have bad

relationships that's going to have a

have an impact on you so I would be

worried about second uh front in China's

ability to control our

minds that's

real well going back to my category of

uh wokeness Jumping the Shark turns out

that Jewish students are suing my other

Elma Mater is it Elma Mater or Elma

moer modder

right Elma

m m okay my Elma m

Berkeley so uh months ago I disavowed

Berkeley for being a racist college so I

didn't want to have anything to do with

them and if I knew where my diploma was

i' set it on fire because uh I feel

embarrassed to be associated with

Berkeley literally literally

embarrassed and uh now Jewish groups are

suing Berkeley for what they claim is

you know just an contr control

anti-jewish

um policy

I guess there are some groups that don't

allow Jewish people to

join

what what there's some student groups

that forbid Jewish people from joining

them I I mean just hold that in your

head for a

second anyway now obviously these groups

are you know special purpose groups or

whatever so they would say no it's not

about anti-jewish it's more about who's

in so it's not about who's out you know

it's about having a club for

ourselves but the effect of it might be

to uh just be purely racist so uh to me

I think it's funny that the most liberal

college in the world is being sued by

its Jewish students for being

racist isn't that funny to me that's

funny it It's like you know uh all good

things go to eventually because

good intentions always turn into

horrible

things um

anyway here's a here's a irony of the

simulation if we live in a simulation

clearly was made by people with a sense

of humor who

keep you yanking away the the dollar

bill we find on the sidewalk it's like

oh there's a dollar on the sidewalk and

you you lean over to pullet and there's

a string on it and Y it away here's

another one uh as you know

semiconductors are beginning to reach a

limit to how much more you can do with

silicon and and the common materials but

there are new materials that are being

considered so it turns out there is one

material that is really really good for

um for microcomputers semiconductors uh

for semiconductors and it's

a it's a

diamond it's diamond

seriously

seriously the the one thing we need that

would be you know the thing that's

better than the thing we're using

Diamond could you

be any more

inconvenient like what could be

worse I literally can't think of

anything that would be worse than

finding out the only way we'll be able

to keep up with with China is with

diamonds so uh well you know maybe we

can lab grow them I suppose some version

of

them yeah anyway it's just ironic that

the the most expensive thing in the

world it's probably not but well maybe

it is are diamonds the most expensive by

weight is that a true statement they're

not the most expensive by weight anymore

what would be most expensive by weight

rubies Emerald not gold definitely not

gold saffron uranium oh maybe uranium

yeah

maybe all right according to unusual

Wales account on X China has launched

the fastest internet 1.2 terabits per

second it can transmit 150 movies that

are 4K

movies in one

second 150 movies that are 4K you know

the real dense

ones in 1

second that's pretty

awesome now that does uh certainly open

up a question whether there's a

Strategic Benefit to

that is is that something that we need

to catch up with right away because I I

wonder I wonder if you had this internet

speed and you attached it to one of

these hedge funds that tries to do

automated trading you know when they

find small errors and the whole secret

of the hedge fund they literally put

their uh I think this is still true the

the hedge fund would literally put their

data center physically as close as

possible to whatever they're interacting

with you know to trade because that

distance would give them you know a

millionth of a microsc advantage over

everybody else so they can front run

trades

but what if you got this 1.2 terabit

thing you know I don't know does that

give them some Advantage I don't know uh

I I think not because it would have to

be 1 Point ter 1.2 terabit all the way

so might not help him if you're in a

different country I don't

know but uh that's fun I think that has

more to do with uh virtual

reality uh correct me if I'm wrong but

the limit for something like meta to

transmit you know realistic looking

images like you're in a 3D World the

limit is the transmission right it's not

the

computer and it's not the limit of the

software am I right about that it's just

a transmission

limit well let me explain to you how the

transmission limit could be gamed you

ready let's say you want to transmit I

think they're already doing this by the

way but it's it's a fun technical fact

suppose you wanted to uh send my image

in 4k a full 3d looking image to appear

on your computer at a distance and not

have any

lag there's a way to do that if you were

to send a refreshed screen of every

position I'm in you know your internet

would choke especially if there are

other characters in the scene but if you

take one really good image of me and

then you only transmit the

changes the other side can recreate me

without a full picture of me being

transmitted for example if if the

receiving side already had a full model

of me and then I took my hand and I went

like this uh it could use AI on its end

to say well I I know what that would

look like if his head looks like this

here and he moves up here it's still G

to look like the hand

I'll just recreate it as if it had been

transmitted but the only thing being

transmitted is the coordinate changes

you know where where your fingers are so

it'd be like the end of my fingertip it

knows that it was here but now it's here

so it just fills in fills in the rest so

uh we we already have a

technology that can get around um a lot

of speed

limitations Scott look at what Elon said

on your Tweet

uhoh did did Elon just say something on

a tweet of

mine all right we're going to stop and

look at that cuz because I'll be far too

curious what should I look up look up

Elon and then look at his

comments all right let's see what he

replied it's probably a reply right is a

reply you could have just told me what

he said oh my woke

tweet all right I'll look at my woke

tweet all right find

me all right let's see what he

said uh about wokeness jumping

shark oh yeah so five minutes ago Elon

Musk so here was my tweet so it's

basically the theme of the show I I uh

posted that it feels like wokeness has

totally jumped the shark 90% of the

stories in that domain are being treated

as jokes and then I said balance will be

restored and Elon replied indeed woke is

a laughing stock at this

point H have you

noticed how useful Elon Musk is in um

moving the needle on everything it it's

it's hard to find any cat category

that's interesting that he isn't the

most important voice in

it because you know if if Scott says you

know wokeness is jump the shark you know

maybe it makes some content for my show

maybe maybe you repost it but if musk

says

it by tonight it could be a

headline right like I wouldn't be

surprised if you know Fox News covers

this as a story because he's said it you

know they wouldn't cover it if I said it

it it's amazing how useful he is in in

pushing energy toward one point of view

because certainly it would be good if

everybody started thinking oh wokeness

is the funny stuff like it's just a joke

and musk is saying it directly yeah it's

basically a joke so that helps thank you

for alerting me to

that anyway

um Hunters uh agreed to

testify um and allow it to be a public

hearing and so his lawyers have said on

um on the 13th of December he'll he'll

be in a closed door deposition now you

probably ask yourself why would hunter

wanted to be

public like wouldn't you think that

everything about that he would want to

be you know lowkey so

that well there are two possibilities

one possibility is that his defense or

whatever he plans to say is so strong

that it would be better to put that out

there than to have people wonder what

happened that might be but I have

another

theory I think that uh Hunter was high

and his lawyer called him and and they

had a bad connection and the lawyer said

uh Hunter the committee is asking about

a closed door closed door you want to be

closed door closed meeting or an

unclosed

meeting and Hunter thought he said

closed and so Hunter said well no I

don't I don't want

clothes I don't want to wear any clothes

have you seen his selfies it's funni if

you've seen the Selfies he doesn't like

clothes when he's with a group of people

you put several people in a in a room

with Hunter the first thing he does is

take off his clothes right

I

mean margerie Taylor Green's going to be

in the room the guy's going to start

stripping he's going to be Lauren BT wow

right he's just going to start shedding

those clothes so I think it was just a

misunderstanding between

closed and

clothed I think that's all that's all it

was that's just a guess it's just a

guess well um Biden is apparently going

to use or talking about using the

defense production act to make sure that

our Pharma products get made in the US

which is a big problem uh because we

it's hard for us first of all it's hard

for the United States to do

manufacturing apparently but it would

take a long time to bring everything

back and then we'd still be dependent on

you know maybe the base materials even

if we manufactured here we still have to

get our base materials from a

potentially unfriendly country so he's

going to use the defense production act

which gives the president extra powers

and money to you know Force things to

happen quickly um I'm going to surprise

you on this one I'm 100% behind

this anybody

disagree I'm 100% behind it

and I think Trump would have done it I

think V ramaswami might have done it I

don't

know but this feels like me to me this

feels

right

100% And you know for th for those of

you who Wonder would I ever say anything

good about a Democrat or Biden if they

did something that you know clearly made

sense yes this clearly makes sense in my

opinion now the execution could be

botched you know because it's a

government but yeah I back this 100%

this should not even be about politics

um well there's a story I saw in a Joe

Pompano

post um about Sports Illustrated

apparently Sports Illustrated bought or

created these AI generated head shots so

it looked like uh real human beings were

writing articles that in fact were

written by AI but Sports illustrat was

trying to pass them off you know with a

fake picture as if a human had done it

now when they got called down about it

they just deleted the

content

um but here's the interesting part of

the story two parts that are interesting

number one it's kind of interesting that

they tried to get away with it because

imagine how much money they could save

if they ran opinion Pieces by robots and

people thought they were human and

they're like oh okay good

opinion but here's what I think they had

to get rid of it immediately upon

realizing it was fake even though they

could have said you know you caught us

uh so we're going to label these as AI

but we're still going to keep the

pictures and you know we think it's fun

to do AI

opinions that's if people had liked the

AI

opinions I believe this is more of what

um I'm going to call the Adams rule of

AI

art if if you're the first one to say

you get to name it after yourself that's

how it works the Adams law of AI art and

it goes like this AI generated art which

would include writing and include

opinion that's art uh will not be

interesting to humans if they know it's

AI generated and I've said this before

but just summarizing uh I believe our

appreciation of art has a little bit to

do with the quality of the art but a lot

to do with what you assume about the

talent of the person who created it

meaning that the art and the artist are

the same you're you're you're triggering

of what makes you say whoa look at that

art is not the art that's not what

triggers you so art by itself is just

dead it just sits there no matter how

well it's done no matter how well it's

done it's just dead and it sits there

until your

brain says how did a human make that

wow a human made that and what you're

reacting to is the artist you're

reacting to the talent of the artist

which which is an extension of your

mating Instinct because we're we're

attracted to talent because that's a

tell for somebody with good genes any

kind of talent and art is the way you

express your talent so the Adams rule of

AI art states that as soon as the

audience knows it's AI AI they will lose

interest via the mating Instinct being

you know taken out of the taken out of

the

conversation you think I'm

wrong do you think I'm

wrong here's my summary of that argument

you ready here's the summary if AI had

created the Mona

Lisa and you knew it was

AI the Mona Lisa's total value

would be a

nickel nobody would buy the mon

Lisa everything about the mo Lisa is

about the

artist right it's all about the artist

how about a van

go who would buy a vanau if they thought

it had been randomly generated by

AI the thing that makes vanau so

interesting is probably because he had

mental problems but when you look at it

you say how like how did that come out

of a human mind like what what extra is

going on in there in this case it wasn't

an advantage

maybe yeah all right um and then imagine

Modern Art you know we all laugh about

the modern art it's like it'll be a big

white canvas and a like a pickle or a

soup can and you'll say that's not art

you know I don't love looking at that

that's just you put something in the

middle now

and yet people pay a lot of money for it

but imagine that AI made that art

imagine if AI did The Soup cans that

anti waral did how how many AI generated

Soup cans would you buy how about zero

yeah zero because there's no artist

involved so just watch for that and I

believe it will be in every form of art

from opinion writing visual art musical

every form I think it will be the same

now uh when I said this online a uh

another user of the xplatform asked me

the following question which is a pretty

good

question says well if if you believe

that it's all about the meing Instinct

and that people aren't going to be

attracted to

AI Scott how do you

explain that there are AI uh models

within the um what's it called uh only

fans did you see how I pretended I

didn't know what it was called what

what's it called it's like only fans or

something

yeah never heard of it so actually I

don't use it believe it or

not but um so how could it be true the

Adams rule of AI art if in fact people

are making money with AI generated

porn is that a good question

question here was my

response por is not

art por is not exactly

art and and here's what I mean yeah and

you're going to say to yourself but

Scott it is it is a form of Art here's

where the art happens the art happens in

your head losing connection

here do you think YouTube's sending me

like a warning shot or

something might be a warning shot like

don't talk about this topic oh cuz kids

are watching or something maybe it's

because kids could watch is that why or

did locals oh locals glitch too what

when locals glitches I can't see it on

my end because it was

continuous so maybe it was the internet

all right but my point was that the art

happens in your

imagination right because there's

actually not much

are involved in watching two people do

the same thing that you watch two other

people do the day before and two other

people the day before it's kind of the

same you know half dozen things they're

doing it's not exactly

art but um in your head it is so the

Arts in your head but I would also argue

that it's there's a good chance that the

AI

generated porn may

disappear I think there's a novelty

effect if if I were in the um AI

business like a tacky and I and I heard

that there was uh you know only fans had

a successful model that was really

making money and people liked it I would

probably sign up just to see

it I would do that I mean literally I

would do that without the sexual

interest I would see how good it is now

I did the same thing with the app that

gives you a digital

girlfriend like I didn't think I was

going to have a digital girlfriend for

the rest of my life but I really want to

experience it because I want to feel

like you know what does the future look

like with this AI stuff so some of it

novelty all right

gp4 AI for radiology is as good as

doctors

now so uh if you're looking at a

radiology Imaging you know of some

internal part of your body um apparently

the AI can find the pattern meaning it

can find the fault in the image whatever

is wrong with you as well as a doctor

now now what

happens when you fast forward one year

and it becomes common knowledge that the

AI is better than a human doctor and

let's say the AI says it looks like you

have a tumor but the experienced doctor

looks at the same image and says I don't

think so I don't think that is a tumor

so I wouldn't operate because you know

the operation is dangerous but the AI is

saying yeah yeah that's a tumor which

which would indicate you know you got to

operate immediately so what's the doctor

going to

do uh here's what I worry about I worry

that the doctor will have to agree with

the AI because to do otherwise would be

risking a lawsuit so the doctor is going

to say I don't think you should operate

but if the AI says you should and it

turns out I'm wrong you're going to die

and then your lawyer your family's

lawyer is going to say the the AI told

you to operate and you also know the AI

is better than humans why did you

override the AI when the AI is the

superior diagnostic

tool you see what I'm saying I think the

doctor just becomes like the dog that uh

you know guards the

machine you you you know the old joke

about um what is it the there's an

airplane that's so advanced in flying

itself

that there only you know you only need

two people to fly it you need a pilot

and you need a

dog and the the job of the dog is to

make sure the pilot doesn't touch

anything that's the joke so it's going

to be like that the doctors are going to

have to agree with AI or just get suit

and then why do you need a doctor pretty

soon doctoring becomes either just pure

research or something I don't know it's

going to be

interesting well here's an update on

Alex Soros uh I already talked about

this but there's a community no added to

make it more fun so Alex Soros as you

know is has taken over for his dad

George Soros in the in the Soros funds

and giving out the charity money Etc and

you also know that um he gets a lot of

heat the Soros is do for funding uh the

the campaigns for Progressive Das who

like not prosecute a lot of uh lesser

crimes and it's making the cities look

unlivable because of the unprosecuted

crimes but Alex Soros uh defending

himself he posted uh uh where are murder

rates actually higher and he says not in

Progressive cities and he linked to an

article that said that um

conservative um rural

areas have you know increasing murder

rates and um inner cities that might be

run by democrats you know maybe not as

much so he compared the conservative

rural places to the Democrat run cities

and said hey it's not much worse than

the city so why are you you know why are

you bothering

me now as I as I uh reposted him with a

quote um I pointed out that the only

reason you would compare a rural place

to a city is if you're trying to hide

the impact of your policies does that

sound fair because it's such an obvious

wrong

comparison the only reason you would do

an obviously wrong comparison is if

you're trying to hide something or or

you're trying to make something look

true that's not true I guess that would

be the other

way all right and then and then I went

on to explain that you should compare

cities the cities you know Democrat run

to Republican run and you you should

compare rural to rural to the extent

that they're you know any liberal run

rural areas uh there must be

somewhere now I thought that was just

obvious and it and it also made me

wonder is the situation with Alex Soros

that he knows there's a problem and he

was intentionally using a misleading

comparison to cover over the

problem cuz I can't read his head I

can't read his mind so I don't know but

the other possibility is he really

didn't

know and and I think that's the stronger

possibility well let let me let me

develop

this how often do you

see uh super leftist stuff on the

xplatform I feel like I'm completely

shut out from it the only time I see

left leaving content is when somebody's

mocking it on the right and I didn't I

didn't turn off any you know I didn't

turn any knobs so I didn't see uh

Democrats like I want to see the

Democrats but but the algorithm has

locked me out now how about in person do

I see a lot of left leaning people in

person who would maybe correct me if I

had some wrong opinions because I'd only

seen one side of the issue I actually

don't I don't have any conversations

with people who disagree with me in

person I'm sure I'm sure there are

people who disagree with me but I don't

have any conversations about it you know

my daily life would be people who don't

care about politics at all let me say

that again I don't spend time with

people who care about politics at

all you should see me trying to talk

about my day hey how was your day

um whole bunch of things you don't care

about and I'm done that's my whole day

bunch of stuff that none of you care

about who you know I know well enough to

see in

person I think I have one or two friends

you know who engage in that content and

otherwise nobody cares so here's my

point imagine you're Alex

Soros how many staunch Republicans do

you encounter in person and have

meaningful conversations with I'm

guessing zero

would you argue with that I'm guessing

exactly zero so I think you could rule

out that anybody in person is saying you

know Alex maybe that thing you're

looking at is not the whole story or

have you consider this I don't think it

happens because it doesn't happen to

me and if it doesn't happen to me why

would it happen to him so I I because I

think my situation is normal you know

you just you just get closed off in your

little bubble and people don't want to

make trouble too

right people don't want to since Alex

sorus is Rich probably his friends who

maybe even do disagree with them a

little bit maybe they don't mention it

because they kind of like having a rich

friend that's a thing so I don't think

he hears any consenting opin desent no

any disagreeing opinions in person now

do you think he sees them in the

media how often is he reading

Breitbart zero how often does he spend

time on Fox

News

zero I'm guessing zero right how often

does he follow me on social media he

doesn't I follow him he doesn't follow

me so my best guess is he's actually has

no exposure whatsoever to a countering

argument that he would find stronger

than his own opinion and there are op

there are C arguments that are stronger

than his own

opinion a lot

stronger so um but here's the uh the

beauty of the story is that now he he

posted this thing he he might have

noticed that my account um countered

him because I have a million followers

remember I told you if I had a million

followers I could run the

world this is what I'm talking

about because the only way I could break

through that bubble is if my account is

big enough that somebody's going to

either mention it to him or he's going

to notice it on his own because it's a

big

account you need about a million people

to break through the bubble on the other

side and and then only sometimes like

you have to do your best work to like

get in there in any way but on top of

that um the community notes said so it

was added to the Soros uh post so

Community note says on X the five cities

with the highest murder rate and their

Mayors are and it goes you know St Louis

Baltimore New Orleans Detroit Cleveland

and they're all Democrats so the top

five murder cities are all

Democrats now the other thing I

criticized Alex's uh post was that

murder isn't really the big

question murder is the worst crime but

it's not the big question when we're

talking about the um liberal Das cuz

unless I'm wrong about this can you give

me a fact check on this Democrats don't

like murder do they I I think they're

opposed to murderers so I don't think

there's a giant difference between

Democrats and Republicans when it comes

to whether a murderer should be in jail

am I wrong about

that AR aren't they pretty close when it

comes to

murder CU nobody's disagreeing like well

maybe that murderer should get

bail I don't think so but all of the

other crimes the property crimes and the

the Lesser violence those are the ones

that really would show if you're looking

for what's the impact of a progressive

da so when Alex looks at murder rates

he's first of all looking in the wrong

box that's not where the problem would

be probably you know I would look there

too but I'm not looking to expect the

problem there so it's a version and if

he can get you to think that murder rate

is a key metric then he wins cuz it's

not the key metric it's the one you

should ignore the most

actually perhaps so now that they got a

community note and uh I think uh oh and

El Elon Musk actually weighed in on this

because the community note and he said

those who can't handle reality will

leave this platform uh due to community

notes

but the public will increasingly come to

realize this is still musk uh that X is

the best source of Truth causing our

user numbers to Rises the abandoned less

accurate sources of

information true true yeah and X is

rising in traffic so it's working

so so now there are three things that

happened with Alex's um four things

actually with Alex's post which are all

productive in my opinion

number one a a high high account you

know with a lot of traffic in mine

countered him in a way which if I may be

humble was really succinct and on

point so he could have noticed that

maybe not but he could have number

two um the community notes makes it a

bigger story so the odds that he got

fact checked by Community notes raises

again the odds that he

sought number

three um Elon Musk weighed in in favor

of the community notes obviously so I

think everybody notices when Elon Musk

comments on their work would you agree

how do you not notice if Elon Musk

comments on your note on X so that

probably takes it to the next level of

he'll probably see it so that's three

things that are working in the right

direction the fourth thing and again

with all

modesty if I did a good job of showing

that that was the wrong

comparison then it also educated a

million

people to if they see it again say oh

that's the wrong

comparison and that's really valuable

because that means that that Alex Soros

might hear it from different places at

different times and the more you hear

the same thing the more true it

becomes right

so that's uh that's the update on

that

um the uh publication called Dead spin

which apparently is just a bunch of

racists um they said that uh the NFL

needs to speak out against the one

writer said uh the NFL needs to speak

out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan

and black face and Native headdress oh

my God so there was a young boy who who

was wearing black face and a native you

know a native uh head

headgear and she' be called out for that

that black face oh except it was only

black face on one side the other side

was painted red because it was the color

of the team black and

red had nothing to do with

blackface so do you know who called them

out Community notes Community notes for

the win call them

out I'm starting to think that Community

notes uh it's you know it's in a nent

form so it should get better over time

it's one of the greatest

inventions in modern

history is simple it's a simple little

model and the model is if you didn't

know the model is that people of all

types left and right leaning have to

agree on the note or it can't go

forward so Community notes doesn't have

the option of being biased because the

other people will say nope nope too

biased and that's it it it just doesn't

go anywhere if one side says that biased

but if one side says somebody's talking

about the murder rate in these

cities and the side that wants to you

know make the opposite Point says we're

just going to say what the murder rate

is do you disagree that the data we're

using is correct and then the left says

oh that is on point and the data is

correct what are we going to do we we

don't love it we don't love it but we're

honest Brokers and what you're saying is

on point and it is honest that's

huge that the fact that that works at

all

is just amazing it's really one of the

the greatest things I've ever seen in

invention wise as an invention is just

one of the greatest

things all right um let's talk about the

musk trip to Israel now that we've got a

little time to digest it you know Elan

musk had been accused of being an

anti-semite for something he said that

was obviously taken out of context

advertisers left because of the protest

so partly partly to address that

obviously but also partly because he's

very interested in the world and peace

and you know keeping things together on

this planet he decided to go over to

Israel and he spent the day with

Netanyahu he toured the kabut where much

of the violence happened on October 7th

he watched the uh the video compilation

from the GoPro cameras of the terrorists

you know with Horrors that I would never

watch that I can't even imagine having

that in my head um one of the uh family

members of a kidnapped person uh offered

him the dog tags of the kidnapped person

who's not yet released Elon said he

would wear the dog tags until the family

member was

released oh my God he's good at

this oh my God he's good at

this um

and but here here's the the kill shot to

the whole thing so the the trip itself

was in my opinion Pitch

Perfect he hit every note right every

note here here's the things he got right

100% backing Israel to kill Hamas

because they have a preference for

killing civilians and he says if if

somebody wants to kill civilians the

only way to deal with them is kill

him perfect perfect then he says he's is

willing to help rebuild uh

Gaza oh my God now I don't know what

that help would look like but if you

were a Gaza resident and you hope to

ever go back and you found out that the

most capable person who designs anything

he's the best product person in the

world right now the best product

designer for any design if it's a

product is Elon Musk and if the product

is a new city just

imagine I mean can you imagine what he

could do with a whole city if he starts

from scratch you know putting in

self-driving cars and you know uh Tesla

solar panels and he's probably got some

good idea for

desalinization I mean it could be crazy

it could be just crazy how good it is

when he's

done so we don't know what kind of help

he's going to give but to say he's going

to help um allows him to be on both

sides because he needs to be on both

sides when I say both sides I mean he

needs to be on the side of

life for both sides not guilty life but

he's on the side of innocent life and

that's the right place to be so he gave

something for Israel you know he showed

them he showed them the the respect and

the consideration and and really he

literally damaged himself permanently to

make the

point I will never watch that video of

the actual Massacre because I do not

want that in my head I know what that

would do to me I would be permanently

damaged that's brain damage right he

actually signed up for intentional brain

damage to show the degree of support he

has for this he will never forget those

videos they they will they will be there

like a like a virus or a or a disease in

his brain for the rest of his life the

rest of his life he'll be damaged by

that and he did that

voluntarily amazing really so and then

he also talked about the U the

densification of Gaza and he talked

about how the importance of controlling

the school system so that the education

doesn't produce more

terrorists is there any note that he

missed he didn't miss a

note that that is as

perfect as you can do this kind of stuff

I've never seen anybody do it that well

actually that's the best I've ever

seen and I would like to uh compliment

Israel and

netanyahu's staff because they were as

wise as musk was in knowing how to do

this for you know Optimum Mutual

benefit uh but here's the here's the uh

punchline or the kill shot to ad all I

don't know if you know this name Dove uh

hiken uh used to be in politics in New

York state but uh he's he's well known

as a defender of Jews defender of Israel

you know one of one of the stronger more

public voices about who's an anti-semite

and who's not

and he did a video he didn't just do a

post with words he did a whole video in

which he said I've devoted over 50 years

to fighting Jew hatred I can smell an

anti-semite a mile away and let's be

completely clear on this Elon Musk is no

anti-semite now I am going to give him a

little bit of

uh Dove because he had to add this

he's made some mistakes in his

judgment

you know I do that too like if I'm

supporting somebody that I don't support

every single thing they've ever done you

know I'll do that well you know he's

made some

mistakes but here's the better way to do

it the better way to do it is to say I

haven't agreed with him on

everything it's kind of a dick move to

say he's made some mistakes in the same

breath that you're supporting him it's

just a dick move so Dove is you know got

a great reputation does good work so I

respect him and his work so this would

just be advice not criticism I wouldn't

word it that way if your if your overall

point is supportive don't say he's made

some mistakes say I would have done it

differently it's the same thing but it's

just not a dick way to say

it all right I would like to call your

attention to an account which fascinates

me because I'm surprised he's still

alive

all right the account is called martyr

made it's two words if you just search

for that on X so Marr and the word made

um m a d

and

um here's why it's

interesting so this account is doing a

pretty aggressive effort of trying to do

what I'll call I'll put this in

quotes uh both siding the issue both

siding the issue issue with Gaza and the

Palestinians and Israel now he's not

bull sightings October 7th right he's

completely against the violence of

October 7th he's not pramas not pramas

let me say that three times he's not

pramas not not not okay but he is trying

to to create a complete picture so that

we better understand what everybody's

thinking and that part is is a value but

it is really dangerous territory because

you so easily could get lumped in with

the supporting Hamas and then you know

your life is destroyed so I respect him

for the risk that he's taking in the

service of making sure that we have a

more complete understanding of things

however watch me watch me not say he

made some mistakes because right I'm I'm

going to model my own opinion I would

say there are a few things that that I

would have handled differently see isn't

that

better like you keep your respect to the

person but you can still say there are a

few things I would handled differently

so on one of his posts

today um he was talking about well I'll

just read his post so he said this and

I'll tell you what I I had a problem

with he said where did people get this

idea that half a century of brutal

military occupation he's talking about

Israel and the Palestinians could

possibly result in anything but burning

hatred of the occupiers his word by the

occupied how would you feel about

foreign soldiers strip searching your

sister or killing your little nephew of

course those are anecdotals and things

now so here was my response number one

good

question that's a good question how

would you

feel perfectly good question but it's

not the only questions so where I would

have handled it differently is this is a

totally good question but it's

incomplete and in its

incompleteness it maybe is

misleading so here are the questions I

asked a related question is whether

Israel would be under the same level of

danger from

Hamas no matter what they

did don't you think that murder Ma's

assumption is that Israel would be under

less

risk if they only treated the

Palestinians the way the Palestinians

wanted to be

treated that's a good question too CU my

assumption is that Israel would be under

exactly the same risk

because the I I never hear the

Palestinians say you strip searched my

sister I've never heard that I mean I'm

sure that there you know plenty of

people mad about plenty of things but it

doesn't rise to the level of political

speech when they talk politically they

say we want to wipe out Israel and kill

all the Jews Hamas do not the

Palestinians per

se so it seems to me that the point of

view that um all Israel all Jews must be

removed from Israel and from The River

To The Sea I don't think Israel would be

any

safer if they were just the nicest

people the world in every possible way

from water rights to travel to security

I don't think it would make any

difference do

you it would definitely make a

difference for the non-military

population for how they feel about the

whole thing but it wouldn't affect Hamas

Hamas doesn't even have a list of

Demands have you ever seen a list of

Demands you know stop strip searching

our women and whatever else is on it you

know water rights and travel and I

haven't even seen it if if the leaders

of the Palestinians wanted the public to

be looking at you know the the real

treatment of how Israel treats you know

the the West Bank in Gaza Etc if they if

that was the

issue it would be at the top of the

issue yeah every day you'd say every day

you'd see the DU saying well what do you

expect you know Israel does this and

this and this to them so it's a natural

outcome I don't think anybody's thinking

that way I think you got people who are

trained to want to destroy all

Jews and that's the beginning and the

end of the

conversation so

now but should Israel treat all the

Palestinians in the best possible

way probably but what is the argument

for why they

wouldn't what what do you suppose would

be Israel's counterargument to the

Palestinians say hey we're treated

terribly

here I think the answer would be the

only reason we do any of this stuff is

because of the security threat we

wouldn't need to search your sister if

somebody's sister were not coming in

here from trying to kill us right so I

think the response would be if you can

make the security system go away then we

could fix a lot of these things that

you're complaining about in daily life I

assume that would be the argument now

I'm not taking aide

if it if it felt like I'm taking aside

I'm not CU I don't really know you know

the the more daily life problems and and

which way the security concerns go

that's a little more complicated than I

could wrap my head around I'm just

telling you that that should be a

question too if the question is how

would you feel if you were abused this

long you got to ask why are they abusing

you is it strictly for security or is it

economic religious is there something

else going on i' i' like to know that

and then the next question

is what other options did the

Palestinians

have was their only option to suffer and

then support

Hamas because in my view of things um

the Palestinians have had enough

International public support for enough

years that they should have very clearly

you know succinctly stated their maybe

top five demands and what they needed

and I think they would have got

them the trouble is that one of their

top five demands and maybe number one is

okay number one kill all the Jews and

remove remove their corpses from

Israel like so here's the problem I

don't think that the Palestinians or

anybody in power could have ever put

together a list of if you just do these

five things we can live in peace you

we're just asking you stop abusing Us in

these five ways

nobody's ever done

that here's why I think they don't do it

if a Palestinian leader put together a

list of five things that you needed to

do in order to have peace and none of

those five things said uh get all Jews

out of

Israel the leader of the Palestinians

would be executed by his own

people he would be dead for putting

together a list that would give them

peace without their primary objective of

getting control of

Israel so in my opinion the Palestinians

uh clear clear strategy of not asking

for the other stuff and and making that

like a the entire package of claims

seems to be a

preference you know maybe it's not a

conscious preference

but in terms of the whole it operates as

a preference and the preference is if we

can't get this one thing which is all

the Jews out of Israel if we can't get

that we don't even need to talk about 4

through five it's like you know we need

that first that's the opening bid

there's nothing to talk about under

those conditions under those conditions

Israel has a free pass I hate to say it

you know I don't mean on a Moral Moral

or ethical basis but they have a free

pass cuz their situation would not get

worse

if they were nicer or would not get

better if they were nicer so that kind

of limits their options as

well anyway I don't have a uh a hard

opinion about what should happen over

there what I have is an

observation that there aren't any good

guys that are organized enough to deal

with them so Israel always says we would

negotiate peace if he told us who to

negotiate with have you heard that

before who who are we going to talk

to there's nobody to talk to how do you

do a peace deal when you literally can't

even get a meeting with anybody who's in

charge who would even be a little bit

interested in it so that's a good point

too anyway so um Mike Ben continues to

be a national treasur here as he's

helping us expl he's helping us

understand how much influence the

security State you know the intelligence

agencies have have on our daily life

because you don't realize how much

control they have over various entities

and groups and the media Etc and so Mike

Ben on the xplatform is always calling

that out now he points out that Business

Insider a publication which seems to be

very opinionated about some political

stuff um was bought a few years ago by

what Mike calls a major CIA media

conduit so uh some I think a German

entity or something but the publishing

company that bought it apparently is

well understood as a CIA cutout and

we're not

guessing and and apparently we know

there's this thing

called uh what's it called the Integrity

initiative this is also from Mike

Benz something called the Integrity

initiative was this big

umbrella group that would be the sort of

U

Mothership for all these different uh

cutouts that look like they're

independent people but they're really

you know they're just sent by the

mothership so a lot of the people from

One go to the other you know there's a

lot of cross-pollination of the people

now if you didn't know

that you would read Business Insider and

you'd say hey there's

news but if you know it you know that

the only news that would be in Business

Insider if I'll just say F this CIA

influence is still working through the

buyer all the way down to the stories

don't know but if that's the case then

you'd have to read their coverage with

one eyebrow up it's like I don't know

maybe maybe yes maybe

no so don't believe anything about that

there interesting story about the Trump

lawyers I saw one opinion that well I'll

tell you what that was his lawyers have

asked for uh all information regarding

government informance on January

6 so you think to yourself

aha Trump's defense is going to be that

there were so many Feds that they were

the reason for the violence aha that's

what you say right but apparently the

lawyers are explaining in their uh

request for this information they're

saying it's uh not because he thought

the feds instigated the problem but

rather wait for for it because it would

indicate whether the feds did enough to

prevent it in other words in other words

they're going to argue there weren't

enough agents

there now here's what I think this is

just my

speculation I think this is just the

cleverest way to find out how many

agents were there because if you said

tell us how many agents are there

couldn't the government say we can't

tell you

that and then that's the end of it but

suppose they say we're trying to prove

that they didn't have enough there would

that put a different kind of pressure on

them to um to say we did a good job

because we had enough people

there th this might be way more clever

than you think it

is uh but it was described by one

Observer as as uh basically giving up on

the idea that there were so many feds

there that the feds caused the problem

like he's giving up on that I don't see

that I don't think they're giving up on

that at all I think if they have the

number of Agents if if it's a low here's

what I think if they get a number which

is iffy if they get a number and it's

like a low number then they can claim

well that's the problem you knew there

was going to be a problem why did you

have so few people there how is that my

fault that everybody knew this was

coming cuz they did everybody knew the

protest coming and and you underst

staffed so you

understaffed but I got impeached because

you understaffed is that is that what

you're telling me so that would be one

argument now suppose Against All Odds

they give a number it's like a crazy big

number suppose they come out there like

80 or 100 undercover of people if you

heard there were 100 of them and I'm

just making up that number no reason to

believe it wouldn't you say to yourself

well they must have caused it yeah

because 100 could have stopped it you

know that's what your brain would say

that's not necessarily true but your

brain would say man if they had 100

people they could have stopped it but

they must have been there to start

it right so your brain would play tricks

on you if it's a big number and it would

play a different trick on you if it's a

l a small number

so I think Trump might have a good

lawyer in the in that mix there there's

something about this I like so much so

much well speaking of Biden and

inflation so Biden's trying to argue

that corporations raised their prices

because their own their own costs were

high but then when the inflation went

down according to Biden but not too many

other people the corporations didn't

lower the prices so you know what the

problem is it's those

corporations no it's not how much money

he printed it's not how much he borrowed

no no no it's those evil

corporations that's all he

has imagine having nothing else to run

on but that yeah inflation's high but I

blame the

corporations because you know what the

free market stopped

working that's right the free market has

stopped working that's what he's

arguing

because if if a company raised its

prices and then its cost of production

went down but it didn't lower its price

it's competing against

somebody you know unless there's

collusion or Monopoly activity that

could be

too anyway uh Trump is finding a way to

lose it looks like uh Trump is going to

take a crack at getting rid of

Obamacare that is such a losing

strategy my God how many times have I

told you that nobody's even brought up

Medicare I'm sorry nobody brought up

health care healthc care became was the

biggest thing and it just stopped being

an

issue when was the last time you heard

anybody complain about

Obamacare a year I haven't even heard

the name in two years

probably well so here's what I think

uh I said this in the beginning and I'm

going to double down on it I think Obama

was a genius about

Obamacare and in public Obama said that

Obamacare was basically a

mess but once it got in the system it

would be too hard to remove it and so

the government would be forced to keep

tweaking and improving it until he had

something that worked because remember

Healthcare was like this huge unsolvable

problem no nobody could figure out how

to create a good health care system that

would also be supported by

people there wasn't any way to do it if

he had the best idea in the world the

other side would have said no and there

just wasn't any way to make a good one

so instead of making a good one he

actually in public said directly so

we're going to give you a bad one and

we're going to stick it with the country

and when they're too hooked on it

they'll have to fix it

and that's actually happening I think I

I think that I think there have been

enough

tweaks um I think there probably been

enough tweaks that people just stopped

complaining about it or they adjusted to

the cost got used to it started worrying

about other things but here's my point

uh I'm not going to make an argument

that Obamacare is good if you heard that

that's not what I'm saying let me say it

again I'm not making an argument that

Obamacare is good

my argument is it's no longer a

political question but if Trump says I'm

going to get rid of it it's just going

to turn into the worst political thing

of all time you should just ignore it if

people if nobody's complaining about it

at least you know in the media and

social media I don't see anybody

complaining if they're not complaining

move on to something they are

complaining about that you can fix that

to me to me this would be like the um

the abortion

question it would be another way to lose

un principle on principle he might say

you know this has to be fixed I know

people aren't complaining but on

principle there's some things wrong with

it we need to fix but that's how you

lose an election on

principle so you have to make that

decision you have to make the

v v the vake

decision to just say I'm trying to win

this time you know so I'm going to let

Tik Tok survive until I

win all

right

um and that ladies and

gentlemen concludes my prepared remarks
