Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, post-Christmas 2023 version. Did everybody survive? Did everybody have a good time? Good.

Well, if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that have never been experienced before, all you need is a copper mug or glass, a tankard, a stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip.

Well, I saw another idea that AI is going to change the world from the X account of Prince of Fakes Bria. He wants an AI company that will build him a sex toy for men that will talk. So he wants his sex toy to be able to talk to him like AI talks to you. And he's hoping that somebody will build one of those in 2024. But I have some advice for you: never buy version 1.0. So I'm going to wait for the sex toy that's an upgrade to the talking one, the one that doesn't talk. So I'm going to wait for version 2.0 once they get rid of that talking bug, because I don't want it talking to me. So if we can get rid of that, version 2.0, I'll wait for that if I'm you.

Trump had a nice, beautiful little Christmas message which had him railing against all of his enemies and haters. And he finished up his Christmas message with, in all caps, "May they rot in hell." Merry Christmas. Is it just me, or is everything he does funny? He rails against his enemies for Christmas of all days, and then he ends it with "May they rot in hell. Merry Christmas." So this is a pattern he likes to do where he says bad things and then good things at the same time. It's very funny, and I like the fact that it makes all of his haters kind of draw attention to it anyway.

Reports say that the latest polling shows that Trump has a commanding lead in the primaries. He's got 51% of likely Republican primary voters compared to number two, I guess is Nikki Haley now at 13%. So I guess Ron DeSantis is a non-entity these days. But how do you explain that in the national poll Haley is way behind Trump, but allegedly in New Hampshire she's kind of close? How do you explain that?

Well, I like to use my explaining method called "follow the money." Let me ask you this. If you had the ability to bribe your way into one fake poll, and you know there are hundreds of polls happening all the time, but if there were just one poll that you could somehow bribe them or pay for it to be distorted, what would be the very best one to do? I'm thinking New Hampshire, wouldn't that be the number one most valuable thing to corrupt? Because everybody's always looking for the New Hampshire story. Now I would have said Iowa, but I think New Hampshire is smaller, and it's the smallness which suggests it would be easier to corrupt. I don't know if that's true, but it suggests it. So I wouldn't believe any New Hampshire poll. It has nothing to do with the specific people who are running it. It just has to do with the fact that if there were any one poll that you really wanted to be corrupted, that would be the one. That's the one, because it's going to get headlines and the news likes shift in momentum stories. They don't like "well he's still ahead" stories so much, but they love "oh, somebody came from behind, the comeback kid." So New Hampshire is all about creating the artificial come-from-behind story. That's all it is, because New Hampshire is not representative of the country. Am I right? The country doesn't look like New Hampshire, so whatever happens in New Hampshire shouldn't tell you anything about anything. So the only purpose is to get a surprise. That's it. You just have to get a surprise, and it's the cheapest place to buy a surprise. Again, I'm not saying anybody did that. I don't have any evidence of that. I'm just saying your critical news watching, you know, your critical mind should ask the question: what would be the most likely poll to be corrupted? It's got to be that one of all the polls in the world. It's got to be that one. But I don't have any evidence that it is.

Argentina is an interesting situation now with the new president. And I saw a report that he was kicked off of Instagram. Is that true? Did the new president of Argentina get kicked off of Instagram? For what? I don't know. Is that even true? I guess I need a fact check on that. But if so, it would once again show the importance of X as the last remaining free speech place. He's back on Instagram. Oh, so it probably was a mistake, wasn't it? Oh yeah, I think I heard somewhere that there was no explanation why he got kicked off, meaning it might not have been political. Might have been a dirty trick or something that they reversed. Okay, all right. Well, maybe that's already fixed.

There's a brand new blood test that can detect cancer in two hours, and it doesn't cost much. It's like just a few bucks. Um, wouldn't that change everything? A blood test that can accurately find cancer in two hours and it doesn't cost much for the test. Wouldn't you do that test after a certain age? Wouldn't you do that test every three months? It's only a few bucks. Yeah, I don't think it's quite ready for the market, but apparently it passed some tests. So that's pretty awesome. Could be a big improvement in 2024.

I'd like to give you once again my periodic warning: don't fall for the love languages con. You know that idea that people have a different love language? Some people can only feel love if you give them, let's say, quality time. That's one love language. Or gifts, or acts of service, or physical touch, words of affirmation. I think there might be another one I'm missing. But everybody apparently has their preferred way they want to receive love. It's a con. Don't fall for it. And if anybody ever tells you their love language is acts of service or gifts, they're trying to get a free butler. Don't go for the free butler. "Oh, if only I do everything she wants, she'll love me. If I also buy her stuff. So if I buy her gifts and then do everything she wants, she will love me." No, that's not really love. That's a trick. Yeah, run away from that as fast as you can.

Now, to be fair, I got some pushback from an author, Andrew Christian, who said when I said this on X this morning, he said, "You offer much wisdom, Scott, but relationship mastery is not in your skill stack." Is that fair? Is it fair to say relationship mastery is not part of my expertise? I think that's half right. Here's the half that's right: I cannot tell you how to make a relationship work. Nope, no idea. The best I have for you is that when two good people meet young and get together when they're young, often it works great. I hear otherwise. I don't have any advice, no advice whatsoever.

But I would like to push back on Andrew's comment that I have not mastered relationship skill. I would say I very much know what doesn't work, because relationships are two parts: what works, and then avoiding what doesn't work. You don't think I'm an expert on what doesn't work? Come on. Who are you going to ask? Test me. You give me a standardized test on what doesn't work. Well, I'm going to get 100% on that one. Now if you give me another test of what does work, I'll be like, I don't know. I feel like it just depends on the two people. If you have two good people and they have some chemical attraction, probably it works every time just because they're good people. You know, people who can consider the other person's feelings and then adjust on their own without being told to, you know, like good functioning people, that probably works every time. But if you only have one functioning person or no functioning people, I don't think your love language is going to fix that. "Yeah, well you're an abusive alcoholic, but maybe if I gave you gifts, maybe that would turn things around." No, no. Your abusive alcoholic gifts are not going to turn it around.

Here's another "follow the money" for you. How many of you are alarmed, you should be, that insurance actuaries are saying that there's a lot of excess death? How many of you are alarmed by insurance company experts who really are the ones you trust, right? Because they have to base their entire economics on being right. So I believe it's the insurance companies who are telling us there's excess mortality. Am I right? Can you give me a fact check? It's the insurance companies who have the most reliable, credible data that says we have excess mortality that we can't explain, right? And somebody on X said, "Well it must be true because you're hearing it from the companies that have to get it right." Is that fair?

Let me give you a test. These are companies that have to get it right, so therefore they're the most credible source for whether or not there's excess mortality, right? Yeah, okay. Well there might be one problem with that. Do you know how insurance companies set their rates? Does anybody know how they set their rates? It's based on what their risk is, yeah. So they set the rates based on the perceived risk. If the mortality rate was exactly the same every year, what would their rates be? Same every year. Same, because the mortality rate would be the same. Now they'd adjust for maybe inflation or maybe competitive forces, but basically if it's based on how many people are dying flat. Right now if you're an insurance company, what would your economic interest suggest? Would it suggest that if you said, "I think in the future there and in the past recently there's a lot of excess deaths. Hey, all those excess deaths, what are we going to do with our rates? I've got an idea. Why don't we substantially raise our rates because of all the excess deaths, because we're going to have to pay these people when they die for the life insurance, right?"

So how many of you fell for believing the people who have the greatest incentive to lie to you, the insurance companies, the greatest economic incentive to lie to you? How many of you said to yourself, "Well that's a good source"? How many of you fell for that? That the good source is the one who has the greatest incentive to lie to you because they have a direct financial benefit to lie to you? All right. I would like to raise my hand and acknowledge my stupidity that it took me till today to realize that. Honestly, idiot. I could not be more disappointed in myself. It took me until today, literally this morning. I said, "Huh, wait a minute. If the insurance companies convinced us that there's a lot of excess mortality, I'm going to have to pay more for my... wait a minute, wait a minute." Is anybody having the same experience right now where you just assume the actuaries would be the good data? It couldn't possibly be true because literally everybody is influenced by money. How would you like to be the actuary who under-projected deaths? You're fired. Suppose you over-projected deaths? Promotion, because you set the rates at the highest potential profitability rate and you got away with it. Promotion, bonus.

All right. I don't know what's true about excess deaths, so I'm not going to tell you that it's not true. I'm just going to tell you that if your source is actuaries, not credible. Not even a little bit credible. Follow the money. It always works.

Another study shows us what I think we all suspected: that loneliness may increase your risk of death. So there's a new study about this. Lindsay Kobayashi in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, something out of the University of Michigan. And it basically says that loneliness seems strongly implicated in dying. Now while there are certainly questions about the safety of the vaccinations, always good to have those questions, and there are questions about any long COVID, and we certainly know about obesity and less activity, we know that there are more suicides and there's more fentanyl and all that. But if I had to pick one variable that's been underappreciated, it's the loneliness thing.

How many of you have experienced bad health that was instantly solved by having somebody just come over and say hi? I've actually experienced that lately. I've actually experienced my body just feeling terrible, and then you have some social interaction that's positive and your entire physicality changes instantly. Instantly. Just your entire physicality changes. Now I would be amazed if loneliness doesn't kill people, because the way I actually feel when I have that feeling of loneliness is like there's a weight on my chest and every part of my vital systems is starting to shut down. Because I think when you're lonely you don't feel any reason to live. Now lots of people like being alone, which is different. I'm not talking about people like being alone. That can be a plus. But if you're lonely and you really need people and you're not getting them, I feel like you just don't have a reason to live. And I do have a dog. A dog doesn't help that much. You know, it's better than nothing, but yeah, a dog doesn't help your human loneliness. Anyway, so I think that's probably one of the big variables. I think the excess, if there is excess mortality, it's probably several reasons.

Axios reports there's a home shortage. So we're short about 3.2 million homes, which is why our prices are staying high. Now why in the world in a place like America would there ever be a shortage of something so basic as a home? And it's not even that people can't afford them. Apparently just a shortage of them. Now it's not BlackRock, because BlackRock buys them and then instantly rents them out. So all the homes that are bought by the big hedge funds, they actually have them rented before they buy them. Did you know that? That they actually arrange for the renters and then they go buy the homes. So they're instantly rented. So they're actually increasing the rate of people in homes. They're not decreasing it. It's just that they're put in rentals. Yeah. So I don't think that they're distinguishing between rentals and owning a home. They're just saying there aren't enough homes. But this is entirely a government problem, isn't it?

Let me ask you this. If you were to make a list of problems the government solved, it'd be a pretty short list. But if you made a separate list of problems the government created, it'd be a pretty big list too, wouldn't it? Like every time the government gets in the way of the free market, and that's obviously what's happening here. It's all bad. So I'm going to say it for the billionth time: I think robots will be big and AI will be big, of course, but one of the biggest sources of economic activity is going to be completely rebuilding homes, putting these little pre-made factory ADUs, you know, the little backyard in-law homes. They're going to be wild. I mean they're going to go crazy. That market's going to be huge.

And I saw yet another Instagram reel in which there's some, it looks like a Mexican company. It was in Spanish so I couldn't tell the details, but they're making bricks. So they have machines that look like they're manual where you just put the right amount of dirt and water or whatever you put in there, and then you press down and you make a brick. But one of the machines that I saw, it makes a brick that's like a Lego. So the process of stacking them is as simple as you put it on top and it goes exactly where it's supposed to and you're kind of done. I think you pour some concrete over it or something. So now you can make your own bricks without electricity. No electricity needed. And the bricks are made to just fit together. So anybody can be a bricklayer basically.

So I think that and about a million other things are going to have us not only, here's the key to my prediction, it won't be just that we'll build new homes and let's say new cities, but we will have to completely tear down and rebuild existing homes to make them as good as the new ones. Because the existing ones are going to look like garbage once new ones are doing what they need to do. They're going to be so much less expensive to maintain and all that. So I think there's going to be a remodeling surge like you've never seen before, and it will be good for employment for probably 10 years. That's what I say.

Wall Street Journal is reporting that the Koch family, or Koch, how do you say it? K-C, how do you pronounce that? I always read it but I never hear it. Koch. All right, it's pronounced like Coke. K-C anyway. It's the Koch family and its network of donors, says the Wall Street Journal, are starting to back Nikki Haley. Why is it that everything looks exactly like you think it is? Why does it look exactly like you suspected that the big industrialists are going to back Nikki Haley and the military industrial complex? It kind of looks exactly like it looks, doesn't it? So we'll see how that goes.

All right, let's talk about Israel. Netanyahu has three conditions for peace. Number one: destroy Hamas. Number two: demilitarize Gaza. And number three: deprogram the Palestinians. Deprogram them. Well, I think he used the word deradicalize. Deradicalize. But that's sort of deprogram. But deradicalize sounds less provocative because everybody's in favor of deradicalizing, but not everybody would be in favor of brainwashing. Same thing. It's going to require brainwashing to deradicalize.

So here's what I think about that. What is missing in the three-point plan is who's going to run Gaza and the West Bank? Isn't he leaving out who's in charge after it's done? The most important part. How are you going to accomplish keeping Hamas destroyed, demilitarizing it, and keeping it that way, and deprogramming Palestinians, unless Israel has full control of it? It's the only way. They're going to have full control. Anybody who thought the two-state solution was ever an option, it really never was. And I'm going to tell you the reason that nobody else is going to tell you. Here's why the two-state solution was never an option. Because the parties involved didn't want it. They both wanted a one-state solution where they won. Surprise. And they both prefer the fight to the peace.

Now when I say they, I don't mean every citizen. The citizens of both Israel and Gaza, probably a lot of the citizens don't want to fight. Probably a lot. But the governments are a different situation. Let me tell you what I would do if I were Israel. Every time the Palestinians did something horrible, I would take some more of their land. Because it's like a free punch. "All right, if you're going to attack us, we'll keep your land. Oh, if you're going to attack us again, I guess we'll keep your land again." So Israel has this strategy where if they just allow the Palestinians to do what the Palestinians apparently want to do, which is elect militaristic leaders and have them threaten Israel, that Israel will just do the obvious natural thing, which is use those provocations to their advantage. So I think Israel is growing. And if you were to fast forward 100 years into the future and you were to look back at this period, you would say to yourself, I hate to tell you that Netanyahu is going to be like Thomas Jefferson. Right? Thomas Jefferson doing the Louisiana Purchase, increasing the size of the United States. Netanyahu is going to look like that in 100 years, right? I mean there'll always be two stories about him. There'll be the good one and the bad one. But if he succeeds in basically completely controlling Gaza and completely filling the West Bank with settlements until it's a de facto Israeli country, then it's going to look like it was one of the biggest successes of a country in the history of countries in 100 years. At the moment it just looks like, "Hey, why can't you get along? We don't understand why you can't get along." Well, why you can't get along is that Israel benefits from taking advantage of the bad stuff.

Now Glenn Greenwald tells us provocatively that it's always been the Israelis who turned down the two-state peace deals. Have you always been told that it was the PLO and the Palestinians who were always turning down the great peace deals? Is that your understanding what's happened? It was always the Palestinians. They would get these great deals and then they would turn them down, right? Well, Glenn Greenwald will tell you it's the opposite. So which is it? Does Glenn Greenwald have the accurate story that it's always been Israel? Because Greenwald says that Netanyahu has bragged about killing the two-state solution, that he's actively bragged about it in public. Do you believe that?

Here's what I believe. I believe that it doesn't matter if Netanyahu killed it or not, because it wouldn't have worked. What's the difference? Yeah, I'm not sure he's the bad guy because it wouldn't have worked. It would have just given the other side time to rebuild, build up their military, and then they would have attacked and it just would have turned into this. Eventually October 7th was going to happen anyway you look at it. So I don't think a two-state solution was ever possible. And I'm going to give you the inarguable answer why. And I'm going to call this Schrodinger's Jew.

Schrodinger's Jew. You've heard of Schrodinger's cat, right? It's a famous experiment in physics where the cat, if the cat's in his sealed box and there's some poison there that will randomly be active or not, but it's random. If you're outside the box, the physicists argue, well you don't know if the cat is alive or dead, but until it's observed or measured, it's both. That the cat exists in a superposition of both being alive and dead. Now as far as I can tell, that's the only way to solve peace in the Middle East. Because it turns out that too many of the Palestinians, not all of them of course, but too many of them would only be happy when the Jews are all dead. Now the Jews, I haven't asked them, but I'm almost positive that they'd be happier if they lived. So you have two unsolvable things here. One is you must all be dead, and the other is well we prefer to live. So I think that the only way you can have a peace deal is Schrodinger's Jew, where the Palestinians believe that they've killed all the Jews and yet the Jews are living happily, completely alive and safe. So yeah, in other words it's impossible. So every minute you spend wasted talking about a two-state solution is just a waste of time. There is no two-state solution except for the absurd, you know, that the Jews are both alive and dead so that everybody can get what they want. Right? It's not possible. So Schrodinger's Jew. I'm adding that to the conversation. So stop talking about a two-state solution. That's never going to happen.

But can Netanyahu do these three things? Can he destroy Hamas? I say mostly yes. It might be like a 95% thing, not 100% thing, but mostly yes. If they put enough resources to it, they can probably get close to it. Can they demilitarize? Yes, as long as Israel maintains full military control of the area. If they let somebody else do it, maybe not. But yes, it's doable. Very hard but doable. But can they deprogram the Palestinians? Oh, here's the question. Well this is my domain, persuasion. So let me tell you the definitive answer. You can't reprogram the older people. Too late. Everything you tell them will just turn into cognitive dissonance and a reason why it's not true. So the older people can't be fixed.

But let's say people under 25. Did I say this on the live stream yesterday? I don't remember. I might be repeating myself. But can you reprogram children? How hard is it to reprogram children? And the answer is really easy. Simple. Children are like a light switch. You can turn them on and you can turn them off just as fast. So yes, if you put the right kind of effort into it, you can change a kid into any belief you want. And I'm not talking about six-year-old kids. I'm talking about 19-year-olds, 20-year-olds, 25. It starts falling off really quickly after their brains are formed. You know, up to 25 they're still a little flexible. After that the flexibility goes away pretty quickly.

Now if you can keep weapons away from the older militants, make them unable to do what they might want to do, and you can retrain the younger people and the teens, there is a way forward. But can you do those things? Could you get enough control over the schools to teach them that they've been had?

So David King says this guy is insane. So if you're doubting my statement that even the Palestinian children can be completely reversed, let me tell you how easy it is. You'd have to find the right lever. And the right lever that works with all young people is "the old people had been lying to you before." That'll work every time because young people are already primed to believe that the older generation is lying to them. We don't need to be convinced. It's the easiest thing in the world. I can reprogram every Palestinian kid in like 30 minutes if I could cause them to listen to me. I could do it now. I'd probably have to be dressed up like a Muslim cleric or something. It would have to be coming from somebody credible. But all I have to do is say, "Here's the bank accounts of the leaders of Hamas. Here's their bank accounts. This one guy's got a billion dollars. Here's the yacht of this other one." Now what if I made it all up? Would they know? No, they wouldn't know. I could literally just make that up. Here's the actual bank account, and it just made it up on my printer. You just show it to the kids. "Hey kids, this is the actual bank account right here. Look, they took all your money. You guys are starving and they started this war and they did it for nothing because Israel is your friend and they just want to live in peace. But they told you that they weren't and they gave you this whole story where you had to kill them but it was all kind of a trick so they can make money and they're really just broken evil people and you shouldn't follow them."

How hard is it to get a kid to believe they've been abused by an adult? It's easy. You just say it once. With adults you have to keep hammering them. You got to repeat and repeat and repeat if you want to persuade them. Not with a kid. A kid you could just tell them once. Done. You know, here's the proof that they were con people. They were just con men the whole time. They were not really your legitimate leaders and they took all your money and they left you in ruin. Just say it once. You would reprogram a kid immediately. Do you know why? Here's what kids believe. You ready for this? Here's what kids believe: the last thing they heard. That's it. Now you know everything about persuading children. They believe the last thing they heard unless there's something sticky about it that's got them stuck to it. So if they don't have some objective other way to know what's true and an adult says your history was wrong so we're revising the history lesson now, this is the correct lesson, what's a kid going to say? They're going to believe the new one instantly, uncritically, because they have not been abused enough that they know that everything is a lie all the time, which is what adults know. By the time you're my age you know everything is a lie all the time. Everything is a lie all the time. Kids don't know that. They still think there's a true version and a fake version. So yeah, you could totally deprogram them if you had full control of the schools.

Apparently it looks like Israel, I don't know if the US helped, but they did a drone attack and they took out a top Iranian general, Brigadier General Razi Musavi, and they took him out in Damascus in Syria. So the Iranians of course were not too happy about that. So there have been some Iranian proxies attacking some American assets over there and some Americans got killed. And then the US is going to attack back or already has. So we're in a proxy war with Iran. And I guess the question is how big it gets. So my guess would be it's going to stay small because I think Iran just needs to show that they're pushing back. The United States needs to show that they're not going to get away with it. Israel is going to take easy shots at the generals who leave Iran because they don't want to kill their generals who are in Iran. That would be too much of a provocation. So I feel like again everybody's getting what they want so it's not going to change. You know, Iran wants to poke the United States and that's sort of the whole thing. They know the United States isn't going to pack up and leave. They just want to poke them and the US needs to respond so they're going to respond. So everybody's getting what they want. Iran's going to poke, we're going to respond. Israel is going to kill any generals that leave Iran. I don't know that that leads to war because it's sort of like people getting what they wanted in the short run. That doesn't seem to me that that would escalate. But I could be very wrong about that. We'll see.

I saw a report from Joel Pollock in Breitbart that Israel has seized 30,000 explosives in Gaza strapped, that includes rockets I guess. So we don't know how much of that is rockets but 30,000 explosives. That would do some damage. But the amazing thing to me is that Gaza is still launching rockets.

Yeah, I'm being asked here if I think Jesus was the greatest human persuader ever born into mankind. I'd say no because he didn't write the Bible. So it was the writing of the Bible that, you know, there's something about the way it's written. This seems to be the persuasive part. So I would say the historical Jesus, if we assume there was a real Jesus, was probably very persuasive. Very persuasive. But the real persuasion was the book because most of us never met Jesus but we saw the book.

Anyway, so that's what's happening over there. A bunch of protests planned. I guess there's a protest planned for the Holocaust Museum. So the pro-Palestinians are allegedly going to protest at the Holocaust Museum. Does that sound true to you? That doesn't sound true. You know what it sounds like? It sounds like an op. It sounds like maybe somebody who's pro-Israel, possibly an American, somebody who's pro-Israel has put together a fake protest marketing saying, "Hey everybody, meet at the Holocaust Museum to protest it." Because I can't think of anything that would be more pro-Israel and pro-Jew than tricking the Palestinians into protesting the Holocaust Museum. Can you think of anything that would be more pro-Israel than that? That would be the single best op I've ever seen. How hard would it be to put together a fake protest? You maybe bribe one person who's an organizer or something, or maybe you just do it yourself. Just put up the signs. Because if you're just a protester you don't know who put up the sign, do you? You don't know who started the viral thing on TikTok to show up at the Holocaust Museum. I think the whole thing might be a trick because I'm trying to imagine the organizers who are actually the pro-Palestinian organizers. I can't imagine them thinking that's a good idea. What? It would be obvious that's the worst thing to do. Like really, really obvious. Yeah, like Unite the Right. Absolutely it's exactly like that. Yep, yep. Somebody said in the comments, "Is it like Unite the Right?" That was the Charlottesville, the "fine people" march. Yeah, that "fine people" march has op written all over it. Definitely. They were real racists but the organization part, that was a little too on the nose. A little too on the nose. I don't believe that was organic. But that's just me.

And I guess there were protests planned for New Year's Eve and there were protests on Christmas. But I saw the protests in New York City described as hundreds. Hundreds of pro-Palestine protesters. Are we too worried about hundreds? Hundreds doesn't sound like a lot. They're getting a lot of attention but it's hundreds. It's a low 100. I just don't know how big this is. It might not be that big.

Elon Musk has weighed in on the UBI question, the universal basic income. And what Musk says, so the idea is that the government at some point in our history might need to just give people money, a basic income without working, just so they can buy stuff, otherwise they die. But Musk says there will be universal high income, not basic, in a positive AI future. So he thinks AI will get us to a point where you would not only have income but you'd have high income. You could kind of buy whatever you wanted in the ordinary living space anyway. Couldn't necessarily buy a luxury car but you could buy everything you needed in the general quality of life area. And Musk says there'll be no scarcity except that which we define to be scarce. In that scenario everyone can have whatever goods and services they want. But then Musk warns, and this is a good one, it's less clear how we will find meaning in a world where work is optional.

Now of course Elon Musk would be sensitive to how do you find meaning in work because his work probably has more meaning than anybody else's. I mean literally the value of his work could be saving humanity by interstellar flight and saving the climate if the climate's a problem. So yeah, I mean Elon's work is about as meaningful, and you know free speech, I even forgot that one. I forgot about preserving free speech. So his work is about the most meaningful work I've ever seen in my life. Mine is pretty meaningful at least how I define meaning. And I got to tell you that Christmas was tough for me because I tried to not work on Christmas, you know, except for the live streams. Didn't work out for me. I found myself very unhappy that I wasn't doing something useful. I don't know how to not be useful. If I'm not making some kind of improvement in the world or for somebody I know or something, even a stranger, I don't really feel good. And I could feel that on Christmas really, really acutely. So I was happy to get back to work today.

What do you think? Do you think we'll have a point where our biggest problem is that everything's free and we don't have any purpose in life? I feel like we would find a way to make things not free. Like the government would always get in the way and say, "Oh no, you can't have all free stuff because it'll make you sad" or something. I don't know. I feel like you can only get the universal high income in a free market scenario, but we don't have anything like a free market. So how do you get there? We'll see.

Marjorie Taylor Greene got swatted for the eighth time on Christmas Day. I guess they turned around before they got to her house because they checked first, which seems wise. I feel like there needs to be some kind of way that the swatters can tell what's real before they go. There should be some code or trick or secret handshake or I don't know what the answer is, but there ought to be something that doesn't exist that could exist. Yeah, like the secret code word. But then you know maybe you're under duress or something. I don't know. So I don't know. Defund the police. Yeah. But I do think that the people who call in the fake swats should be charged with attempted murder. Do you agree that calling in a fake SWAT should be attempted murder? Because why else are you doing it? That's the whole point, is to get somebody killed. So that should be attempted murder. Yeah. And how do these SWAT people not know the location of the call? Can you hide the, can you hide your identity and location when you call the police? If you call 911, don't they always know who you are? I don't know the answer to that. Oh, if you use a VPN. I use a VPN, okay. But for those of us not using a VPN, I have one but for those who don't have one, would 911 always know who you are even if your phone is unregistered? Yeah, try calling 911 and hanging up. They'll call you back, right? Well but they got your number. I know. I don't know what they know but that situation needs to get fixed.

Also Elon Musk talking about unions. He said most of the Democratic Party is controlled by the unions. They carry far more weight than the environmentalists do. You think that's true? Do you think the unions carry more weight than the environmentalists? Probably just 'cause they have more money. Yeah, probably. Certainly the teachers unions do. And Musk says that Biden gladly admits it. And Musk says in Biden's speech he literally says the UAW elected me, the auto workers. Now think about that. And then Elon says the White House cold shoulder, meaning their coldness to Tesla, started well before I said controversial things. In other words the United Auto Workers who are not in Tesla, so Tesla's non-union, but the unionized companies are competing with Tesla. So the unionized car companies, the biggest influence on the Democrats, are basically forcing the Democrats to diss the car company that's doing the most to solve climate change. It's like really happening in the real world, in the real world right before our eyes. The Democrats are saying our biggest thing is climate change. It's an existential threat. And then while we watch, we watch the United Auto Workers who are definitely not on that page saying you're going to have to be bad to Tesla, the only solution to the climate change problem. So the Democrats have created a system called the Democrats in which they have their highest priority they can't work on because of their highest influence. So their greatest influence prevents their own party from working on their own highest priority. How messed up is that?

Is that true on the Republicans as well? Let me think. Is there, let's see if we can do this on the Republican side. What's the highest priority on the Republican side? Abortion seems like it's abortion and the border. Abortion and the border. Let's say it's immigration and abortion. Are the Republicans, is there anything about the Republican Party, is there any interest group within the Republican Party? Oh yeah, the Koch brothers. The Koch brothers are Republicans, right? And aren't they sort of in favor of kind of easy immigration because their companies might need it? Or am I, do I have that wrong? I might have that wrong. Yeah, well I don't think the Republicans have the same degree of problem where the highest priority is made impossible by the strongest influence in their own party. I don't think that's the case because the strongest influence on the Republican side still wants a tough border, immigration. Yeah, border control. So I think Republicans at the very least are consistent, which is their highest priority is actually backed by their most influential members. Is that fair to say that on the Republican side their highest priorities, immigration and abortion, are pretty much backed by their most influential members? I see it. No, yeah, yeah. The Democrat Party seems absurd. It's absurd in that it's so poorly organized that it's basically just fighting itself. It looks like the ultra-wokes fighting the regular Democrats. All right, so I don't see that so much in the Republicans but a little bit.

Now that we know that the reason there's so much illegal immigration in the United States and other places is that there are all these NGOs, these non-government organizations, in some cases might be getting funding from governments but I think they're mostly getting George Soros funding and rich people funding. But they've created this whole structure to make it really easy to go illegally from Africa for example or any other third world country to America. So they organize it. They tell you where to go. They tell you how to do it, who to talk to. And without it I can't imagine an African migrating to America like a low-income African. Because how would an African even figure out how to do it? How would they afford it? How would they figure out the mechanisms to get here, etc.? But the NGOs apparently, all that. They make sure they can eat, travel, get taken care of, get to the right place.

Now isn't that an act of war? When I look at the border it looks like an act of war. So why is it that the United States allows NGOs to wage war on the United States? Is it because the NGOs don't say it's war? Is it just they've defined it not as war so then therefore it's not a war? But isn't it up to us to decide if it's a war? Don't we get to decide that? Yes, this looks like a war. I would declare war on the NGOs and I would declare them terrorist organizations and I would give them 30 days to stop doing what they're doing, which is making it easy for immigrants to come here. And if they didn't do it I would kill them all. I would kill them all. Yeah, I would absolutely kill them all. But militarily with lots of warning and in the most legal way we can within the rules of war. But I think our CIA could kill them in their bed because it has to be stopped. Yeah. So I think we need to stop treating the NGOs as charitable organizations. They're just part of a war machine and they need to be killed after a warning and only within a legal context. Nothing illegal. I'm not suggesting any illegal violence. I'm suggesting military self-defense in the context of a direct and existential threat to the United States. Basic ordinary stuff. Nothing unusual about it at all. So yeah.

And I think Soros has to be a target at this point if he's funding them. I think that George Soros specifically, if it could be found that he's the primary one funding the NGOs which are acting essentially like a military invasion of the United States, that would make him a target. Now again I'm not saying we should just go kill him in his sleep. You should give 30 days and say you need to stop funding these following organizations. If you do, you're part of the military operation against the United States and then we will act accordingly and just take him out. But I'm kind of done around. Can we just talk plainly? Whoever is behind the mass immigration into the United States, they need to be killed. But legally. Completely legally. No illegal acts. And I think that the legal justification is just so obvious you could get the legal cover for it in 24 hours if you wanted it. So am I the first person to say this out loud? I feel like I am. Right? Well, looks like that went over better than I thought. So maybe it'll be a thing.

AI is causing a racism gap according to Axios, or might make one worse. So researchers warned that generative AI could add 43 billion to America's already stark racial wealth gap. Yeah, because the thing I care about in every goddamn topic is how it's going to harm my diversity. How about I don't give a, I don't care at all. You know, do you know what else increases unequal distribution of stuff? Everything. Everything. Literally everything. Do you know what else AI is going to make unfair? It's going to suck to be over 50 because the over 50s are not going to adopt it as easily as the young people and the young people will probably get all kinds of benefits because they can figure out how to work in that world and the older people will try to take a pass and they'll suffer for it. How about gender? So we watched the internet tech boom turn out to be mostly a male phenomenon, meaning that most of the employees at the high-end jobs were male. So the entire tech revolution has been insanely bad for your gap between gender, right? Didn't it make men earn more because they were attracted to STEM jobs and women less so? And the STEM jobs were great pay. So the AI will just be more of that. Bad for women, bad for seniors, bad for everybody with low IQ, at least until there's universal high income I guess. It's going to be bad for all kinds of people. It'll just be good for some small group of Asian-Americans who figured out how to capitalize on it. It's going to be Indian-Americans and Asian-Americans are going to do great in the world of AI and robots I think. White Americans are not going to be at the top of that list. But yeah, I really don't care if it causes more of a gap because everything does. Just literally everything does. Everything does.

All right. Now last night in my man cave live stream I showed a proof that we live in a simulation. Now I'm going to ask the people in the Locals platform who saw the man cave, after you thought about it for a day, is it good enough for me to do it here in front of the larger audience or would I embarrass myself? I'm just going to wait to see if they think I'll embarrass myself. I got a lot of nos. Not good enough. Not convinced. Perfect. I'm definitely going to do it.

All right, here's the proof we live in a simulation. Now proof of course is hyperbole because it's, you know, nothing's ever proved. But my hypothesis is that if you could prove that history is made on demand, you would have proven that we're a simulation. All right. So in other words if you could prove somehow that if you start digging a hole, if you could prove somehow there's nothing under the ground until you start digging and then the reality is filled in while you dig. If you could prove that, would you agree that we're probably a simulation? Does the first part make sense? If you could prove that we create the past only when we need it. No, you think that our reality would be the way it looks if you could create the past on demand? If you could create the past on demand, definitely our current view of reality is debunked because it would mean the evolution was fake. I mean everything basically. The Big Bang. Everything. So I'm going to take that as my starting point. If you could prove that history is created on demand as opposed to it always was always there, we're a simulation.

Now you've heard the double slit experiment and you've heard that in physics a particle is sort of only probably someplace until it's observed. You all know that, right? It's a weird part of quantum physics that a particle doesn't exist until it's either measured by a machine like an instrument or some kind of human or conscious entity. Now did it ever seem weird to you that a conscious observation can change a particle into a specific thing as opposed to a probability wave? But why could a machine do it? Do you ever think that was weird? That you could just use an instrument to measure something and then the instrument can collapse the probability without you even being there? Well what that tells you is that reality is not subjective because a machine could do what a human did, collapsing the reality, right? So that's what that tells you.

But here's what's wrong with that experiment. If you're familiar with the double slit experiment, if you want to find out more about this just Google double slit experiment and you'll go down a rabbit hole that'll make you crazy. But let's say that there are two ways to collapse probability into a real thing. One is a human and the other is instruments. Here's the part that nobody asked you or told you. How do you know the instrument did it? How do you know if the instrument did what the direct observation did? How would you know the instrument did it? Well at some point the instrument has to tell you, right? A human has to look at the instrument and say that there it is, that instrument measured it and sure enough it collapsed it. Do you see what's wrong with that? It took me years to figure out what's wrong with that but I just figured it out this week. What's wrong with it is in both cases it's a human observation. You're either directly looking at the thing and then it collapses into a point or you look at the machine that looked at it and it's at that point that it collapses. It's only when you look at the machine because the machine is just another way of observing it. So in other words the machine never collapsed anything. What happened was when you looked at the machine an entire history that included the machine came into view and had never existed before. So until you look at the machine's reading it didn't read anything. You actually caused the past of the machine reading where the point was by looking at the machine.

Now your other possibility is that a machine can collapse reality. Maybe. But it doesn't make sense in any way that we can understand. Anything but what about if everything is subjective? If everything is subjective that would make us probably a simulation but it would also explain why the chain of events from the instrument to its reading, a whole chain of actions, could be created on demand in the future and you can recreate the past. So two possibilities. Either it's all subjective and always has been, or a machine can collapse reality and then they're not going to tell you that. Well it only does that if a human someday looks at the machine. If you had a machine that destroyed itself after measuring, could it do it? Would it collapse reality if it destroyed itself after measuring and nobody could tell the reading? Yeah, why just human? Because it's all in our imaginations. That's why I believe a dog could also collapse reality if that dog then interacted with a human who realized that the dog had collapsed the reality. But ultimately you have to get to the human. So I believe that the double slit experiment has always been misinterpreted because humans have a block. And the block is that they don't want to believe, or scientists don't want to believe, that everything is subjective and we're living in a simulation. Since that is too hard to accept, they rather accept through cognitive dissonance that the machine has collapsed reality the same way a person could. When a better look at it would be, well not until a human looks at the machine. So it's all just a human. So I think the scientists have a block that they can't see the obvious, that it's just people. It's never been machines.

Now is any of that true? I don't know. It was fun to think about. I don't have any particular scientific skill so me being wrong about science would be the most ordinary thing in the world. All I'm going to add is did you really believe that machines could collapse reality? Just ask yourself, was that ever believable? It's weird enough that a person can, but at least you can understand how a person could because it would support a subjective reality simulation kind of world. That all makes sense. But how does the machine do it? It never did. The most obvious answer is it never did. It was just scientists misinterpreting what they were seeing.

All right, and that ladies and gentlemen concludes the best live stream of the day. And I'll certainly be here for the man cave for the subscribers of Locals later tonight. And I hope you have a great day. Hope you got all the presents you wanted and you're finally away from your family and you're happy again. And I'll talk to you tomorrow. Thanks for joining. See you tomorrow.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization post Christmas 2023 version everybody survive everybody have a good time good well if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that have never been experienced before all you need is a copper mugger glass a tanker cheler Stein a canteen Jugger flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine end of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous zp savor it go yeah the savoring is good well I saw another idea that AI is going to change the world uh from the X account of Prince of fakes bri.

a um he wants a uh an AI company that will build him a uh a sex toy for a men that will talk so he wants his sex toy to be able to talk to him like AI talks to and he he's hoping that somebody will build one of those in 20124 but um I have some advice for you never buy version 1.0 so I'm going to wait for the sex toy that's an upgrade to the talking one uh the one that doesn't talk so I'm going to wait for version two once they get rid of that talking bug because I don't want to talking to me so if we can get rid of that version 2.0 I wait for that if I'm you well Trump had a nice beautiful little Christmas message uh which had had him railing against all of his enemies and haters and he finished up his uh Christmas message with in all caps may they rot in hell again Merry Christmas okay is is it just me or is everything he does funny he rails against he rails against his enemies for Christmas of all days and then he ends it with may they rotten hell again Mary Christmas so this is a pattern he likes to do uh where he says bad things and then good things at the same time it's very funny and I like the fact that it makes all of his haters can't kind of draw attention to it anyway uh R in reports that uh latest latest polling shows that Trump has a command lead in the primaries he's got a 51% of likely Republican primary voters compared to number two I guess is Nikki Hy now at 13 so I guess Ronda santis is a non- entity these days uh but how do you explain that in the National poll uh Haley is way behind Trump but allegedly allegedly in New Hampshire she's kind of close how do you explain that well I like to use my uh my explaining method called follow the the money let me ask you this if you could if you had the ability to bribe your way into one fake pole and you know there hundreds of polls happening all the time but if there were just one pole that you could somehow bribe them or pay for it to be distorted what would be the very best one to do I'm thinking New Hampshire wouldn't that be the the number one most valuable thing to corrupt because everybody's always looking for the New Hampshire now I would have said Iowa but I think New Hampshire is smaller and it's the small the smallness which suggests it be easier to corrupt I don't know if that's true but it suggests it so I wouldn't believe any New Hampshire poll it has nothing to do with the specific people who are running it it just has to do with the fact that if there were any one poll that you really want really wanted to be corrupted that would be the one that that's the one that because it's going to get headlines and and the News likes shift in momentum stories they don't like well he's still a head story so much but they love oh somebody came from behind The Comeback Kid so New Hampshire is all about creating the artificial come from behind story that's all it is because New Hampshire is not a representative of the country am I right the country doesn't look like New Hampshire so whatever happens in New Hampshire shouldn't tell you anything about anything so the only purpose is to get a surprise that's it you just have to get a surprise and it's the cheapest place to buy a surprise again I'm not I'm not saying anybody did that I don't have any evidence of that I'm just saying your critical news watching uh you know your critical mind should ask the question what would be the most likely poll to be corrupted it's got to be that one of all the polls in the world it's got to be that one but I don't have any evidence that it is all right um Argentina is an interesting situation now with the new president and I saw an account or report that he was kicked off of Instagram is that true did the new president of Argentina get kicked off of Instagram for what I don't know is that even true I guess I need a fact check on that but um if so it would once again show the importance of X as the last remaining Free Speech place he's back on Instagram oh so it probably was a mistake wasn't it oh yeah I think I heard somewhere that there was no explanation why he got kicked off meaning it might not have been political might have been a dirty trick or something that they reversed okay all right well maybe that's already fixed there's a brand new blood test that can detect cancer in two hours and it doesn't cost much it's like just a few bucks um wouldn't that change everything a blood test that can accurately find cancer in two hours and it doesn't cost much for the test wouldn't you do that test after a certain age wouldn't you do that test every three months it's only three bucks you know a few bucks yeah I don't think it's you know it's not quite ready for the market but apparently it passed some tests so that's pretty awesome could be a big Improvement in 2024 I'd like to give you once again my uh my periodic warning don't fall for the love language is Con you know that idea that people have a different love language some some people can only be they can only feel love if you give them let's say quality time that's one love language or gifts or acts of service or physical touch uh words of affirmation I think there might be another one I'm missing but everybody apparently has their preferred way they want to receive love it's a con don't fall for it and if anybody ever tells you their love language is acts of service or gifts they're try to get a free Butler don't go for the free Butler oh if only I do everything She Wants she'll love me if I also buy her stuff so if I buy her gifts and then do everything she wants she will love me no that's not really love that's a trick yeah run away from that as fast as you can let me tell you uh now uh to be fair I got some uh push back from an author Andrew Christian who said when I said this on X this morning he said you offer much wisdom Scott but relationship Mastery is not in your skill stack is that fair is it fair to say relationship Mastery is not part of my expertise I think that's half right here's the half that's right I cannot tell you how to make a relationship work nope no idea the the best I have for you is that when two good people meet young and get together when they're young often it works great I hear otherwise I don't have any advice no advice whatsoever but I would like to push back on Andrew's comment that I have I have not mastered relationship skill I would say I very much know what doesn't work because relationships are two parts what works and then avoiding what doesn't work you don't think I'm an expert on what doesn't work come on who are you going to ask test me you give me give me a standardized test on what doesn't work well I'm going to get 100% on that one now if you give me another test of what does work I'll be like know I feel like it just depends on the two people if you have two good people and they have some you know chemical attraction probably it works every time just because they're good people you know people who can consider the other person's feelings and then adjust on their own without being told to you know like good functioning people that probably works every time but if you only have one functioning person or no functioning people I don't think your love language is going to fix that yeah well you're an abusive alcoholic but maybe if I gave you gifts maybe maybe that would turn things around no no your Abus of alcoholic gifts are not going to turn it around all right um let's see uh here's another follow the money for you uh how many of you are alarmed you should be that Insurance actuarials are saying that there's a lot of excess death how many of you are alarmed by insurance company experts who really are the ones you trust right because they they have to you know base their entire economics on get being right so the I believe it's the insurance companies who are telling us there's excess mortality am I right can you give me a fact check it's the insurance companies who have the most reliable credible uh data that says we have excess mortality that we can't explain right and somebody on X said well it must be true because you're hearing it from the companies that have to get it right is that fair let me let me give you a test these are companies that have to get it right so therefore they're the most credible source for whether or not there's excess mortality right yeah okay well there might be one problem with that do you know how insurance companies set their rates does anybody know how they set their rates it's based on what their risk is yeah so they set the rates based on the perceived risk if the if the mortality rate was exactly the same every year what would their rates be same every year same because the mortality rate would be the same now they'd adjust for maybe inflation or maybe competitive forces but basically if it's based on how many people are dying flat right now if you're an insurance company what would your economic interest suggest would it suggest that if you said I think in the future there and in the past recently there's a lot of excess deaths hey all those excess deaths what are we going to do with our rates I've got an idea why don't we substantially raise our rates because of all the excess deaths because we're going to have to pay pay these people when they die for the life insurance right so how many of you fell for believing the people who have the greatest incentive to lie to you the insurance companies the greatest economic incentive to lie to you how many of you said to yourself well that's a good source how many of you fell for that did you fall for that that the good source is the one who has the greatest incentive to light you because they have a direct a direct Financial benefit to light you all right I would like to raise my hand and acknowledge my stupidity that it took me till today to realize that honestly idiot I could not be more disappointed myself it took me until today literally this morning I said huh wait a minute if if the insurance companies convinced us that there's a lot of excess mortality I'm going to have to pay more for my wait a minute wait a minute is anybody having the same experience right now where you just assume the actuarials would be the good data it couldn't possibly be true because literally everybody is influenced by money how would you like to be the Actuarial who who under who under projected deaths you're fired suppose you over projected deaths promotion because you you set the rates at The Highest Potential uh profitability rate and you got away with it promotion bonus all right I don't know what's true about xss so I'm not going to tell you that it's not true I'm just going to tell you that if your source is actuarials not credible not even a little bit credible follow the money it always works all right um another study shows us what I think we all suspected that um loneliness may increase your risk of death so there's a new study about this uh Lindsay Kobayashi in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences something out of the University of Michigan and it basically says that loneliness seems strongly implicated in dying now while there are certainly questions about the safety of the vaccinations always good to have those questions and there are questions about any long Co and we we certainly know about obesity and less um maybe we're a little less active we know that there are more suicides and there's more fental and all that but if I had to pick one variable that's been underappreciated it's the loneliness thing how many of you have experienced bad Health that was instantly solved by having somebody uh just come over and say hi I've actually experienced that lately I've actually experienced my body like just feeling terrible and then you have some social interaction that's positive and your entire physicality changes instantly instantly just your entire physicality changes now I would be amazed if loneliness doesn't kill people because the way I actually feel when I have that feeling of loneliness is like there's a weight on my chest and every part of my you know vital systems is starting to shut down because I think when you're lonely you don't feel any reason to live now lots of people like being alone which is different I'm not talking about people like being alone that can be a plus but if you're lonely and you really need people and you're not getting them I feel like you just don't have a reason to live and I do have a dog a dog doesn't doesn't help that much you know it's better than nothing but yeah dog doesn't help your human loneliness anyway so I think that's probably uh one of the big variables I think the excess if there is excess uh mortality it's probably several reasons several all right axios reports there's a home shortage so we're short about 3.2 million homes which is why our prices are staying High now why in the world in a place like America would there ever be a shortage of something so basic as a home and it's not even that people can't afford them apparently just a shortage of them now it's not Black Rock because Black Rock buys them and then instantly rents them out so all the homes that are bought by the big hedge funds they they actually have them rented before they buy them did you know that that they actually arrange for the renters and then they go buy the homes so they're instantly rented so they're actually they're actually increasing the rate of people in homes they're not decreasing it it's just that they're put in rentals yeah so uh I don't think that they're distinguishing between rentals and owning a home they're just saying they're not enough homes but this is entirely a government Pro problem isn't it let let me ask you this if you were to make a list of problems the government solved it'd be a pretty serious list but if you made a separate list of problems the government created it'd be a pretty big list too wouldn't it like every time the government gets in the way of um the free market and that's obviously What's Happening Here uh it's all bad so I'm going to say it for the billionth time I think robots will be big and AI will be big of course but one of the biggest sources of economic uh activity is going to be completely rebuilding homes putting these little uh pre-made Factory adus you know the little backyard in-law homes they're going to be wild I mean they're going to go crazy that Market's going to be huge and I saw yet another uh I saw yet another uh Instagram real in which there's some it looks like a Mexican company it was in Spanish so I couldn't tell the details but they're making bricks so they have machines that look like they're manual where you just put the right amount of dirt and water or whatever you put in there and then you you press down and you make a brick but one of the machines that I saw it makes a brick that's like a Lego so the the process of stacking them is as simple as you put it on top and it goes exactly where it's supposed to and you're you're kind of done I think you pour some concrete over it or something so now you can make your own bricks without an electricity no electricity needed and the bricks are you to just fit together so anybody can be a a brick layer basically so I think that that and about a million other um things are going to have us not only so here's the key to my prediction it won't be just that we'll build new h homes and let's say new cities but we will have to completely tear down and rebuild existing homes to make them as good as the new ones because the existing ones are going to look like garbage once new ones are doing what they need to do they're going to be so much less expensive to maintain and all that so I think there's going to be a u remodeling surge like you've never seen before and it will be good for employment for probably 10 years that's what I say um Wall Street Journal is reporting that the coch family or cotch how do you say him K C how do you pronounce that I always read it but I never hear it Coke all right it's pronounced like Coke K C anyway it's the Koch family and its network of donors say the Wall Street Journal are starting to back Nikki Elli why is it that everything looks exactly like you think it is what why does it look exactly like you suspected that the big industrialists are going to back Nikki Haley and the military industrial complex it kind of looks exactly like it looks doesn't it so we'll see how that goes all right let's talk about Israel Nan Yahoo has a three conditions for peace number one destroy Hamas number two demilitarize Gaza and number three deprogram the Palestinians deprogram them well uh I think he used the word deradicalize deradicalize but that's sort of deprogram but deradicalize sounds uh less provocative because everybody's in favor of der radicalizing but not everybody would be in favor of brainwashing same thing it's going to require brainwashing to deradicalize um so here's what I think about that what is missing in the three-point plan is who's going to run Gaza and the West Bank isn't he leaving out who's in charge after it's done I the most important part how are you going to accomplish keeping Hamas destroyed demilitarizing it and and keeping it that way at deprogramming Palestinians unless Israel has full control of it it's the only way they're going have to full control anybody who thought the two-state solution was ever an option it really never was and I'm going to tell you the reason that nobody else is going to tell you here's why the two-state solution was never an option because the parties involved didn't want it they both wanted a one stay solution where they won surprise and they both prefer the fight to the peace now when I say they I don't mean every citizen every the citizens of both Israel and Gaza probably a lot of the citizens don't want to fight probably a lot but the governments are a different situation let me tell you what I would do if I were Israel every time the Palestinians did something horrible I would take some more of their land because it's like a free punch oh all right if you're going to attack us we'll keep your land oh if you're going to attack us again I guess we'll keep your land again so Israel has this strategy where if they just allow the Palestinians to do what the Palestinians apparently want to do which is elect mil militaristic leaders and have them threaten Israel that Israel will just do the obvious natural thing which is use those provocations to their advantage so I think Israel is growing and if you were to fast forward a 100 years into the future and you were to look back at this period you would say to yourself I hate to tell you that Netanyahu is going to be like Thomas Jefferson right Thomas Jefferson doing the Louisiana Purchase increasing the size of the United States Netanyahu is going to look like that in a 100 years right I mean there'll always be two stories about him there'll be the good one and the bad one but if he succeeds in basically completely controlling Gaza and completely filling the West Bank with settlements until it's a de facto you know Israeli country um then it's going to look like it was one of the biggest successes of a country in the history of countries in 100 years at the moment it just looks you know like hey hey why can't you get along you know we don't understand why you can't get along well why you can't get along is that Israel benefits from taking advantage of the bad stuff now Glennon Greenwald tells us provocatively that it's always been the uh the Israelis who turned down the two State peace deals have you always been told that it was the uh the PLO and the Palestinians who were always turning down the great peace deals is that your understanding what's happened it was always the Palestinians they would get these great deals and then they would turn them down right well Gren Glenn Greenwald will tell you it's the opposite so which is it does Glenn Greenwald have the accurate story that it's always been Israel because Greenwald says that netanyahu's bragged about killing the two State solution that he's actively bragged about it in public do you believe that here's what I believe I believe that it doesn't matter if Netanyahu killed it or not because it wouldn't have worked what's the difference yeah I'm not sure he's the bad guy because it wouldn't have worked it would have just given the other side time to rebuild build up their military and then they would have attacked and it just would have turned into this eventually you know the October 7th was going to happen any way you look at it so I don't think a two-stage solution was ever possible and I'm going to give you the uh inarguable answer why and I'm going to call this Schrodinger's Jew Schrodinger's Jew you've heard of Schrodinger's cat right it's a famous experiment in physics where the cat um if the cat's in his sealed box and there's some poison there that will randomly be uh either uh Reeve the the poison will either uh be active or not but it's random if you're outside the box the phys physicists argue well you don't know if the cat is alive or dead but until it's observed or measured is both that the cat exists in a transposition of both being both alive and dead now as as far as I can tell that's the only way to solve peace in the Middle East because it turns out that too many of the Palestinians not all of them of course but too many of them would only be happy when the Jews are all dead now the Jews I haven't asked them but I'm almost positive that they'd be happier if they lived so you have two unsolvable things here one is you must all be dead and the other is well we prefer to live so I think that the only way you can have a peace deal is Shing your Jews where the Palestinians believe that they've killed all the Jews and yet the Jews are living happily completely alive and safe so yeah in other words it's impossible so every every minute you spend wasted talking about a two-state solution is just a waste of time there is no two-state solution except for the Absurd you know that the Jews are both alive and dead so that everybody can get what they want right it's not possible so Schrodinger's Jew I'm adding that to the conversation so stop talking about a two- State Solution that's never going to happen all right um but can uh Netanyahu do these three things can he destroy Hamas I say mostly yes it might be like a 95% thing not 100% thing but mostly yes if they put enough you know resources that it they can probably get close to it can they demilitarize yes as long as Israel maintains full military control of the area if they let somebody else do it uh maybe not but yes it's doable very hard but doable but can they deprogram the pal Palestinians oh here's the question well this is my domain persuasion so let me tell you the definitive answer you can't reprogram the older people too late everything you tell them will just turn into cognitive dissonance and a reason why it's not true so the older people can't be can't be fixed but let's say people under 25 it did I say this on the live stream yesterday I don't remember I might be repeating myself but can you reprogram children how hard is it to reprogram children and the answer is really easy simple children are like a light switch you can turn them on and you can turn them off just as fast so yes if you if you put the right uh kind of effort into it you can change a kid into to any belief you want and I'm not talking about six-year-old kids I'm talking about 19-year olds 20y olds 25 it it starts falling off really quickly after their brains are formed you know up to 25 they're still a little flexible after that the flexibility goes away pretty quickly now if you can keep weapons away from the older you know militants you know make make them unable to do what they might want to do and you can retrain the younger people and the teens there is a way forward but can you do those things could you get enough control over the schools to teach them that they've been had now um oh so David let me clarify so David King says this guy is insane so if you're doubting if you're doubting my statement that even the Palestinian children can be completely reversed let me let me tell you how easy it is you'd have to find the right lever and the right lever that works with all young people is the old people had been lying to you before that'll work every time because young people are already primed to believe that old that the older generation is lying to them we we don't need to be convinced it's the easiest thing in the world uh I can reprogram every Palestinian kid in like 30 minutes if if you know if I could cause them to listen to me I could do it now I'd probably have to be you know dressed up like a a Muslim cleric or something you know it have to be coming from somebody credible but all I have to do is say here's here's the bank accounts of the uh leaders of Hamas here's their bank accounts this one's guy's got a billion dollars here's the here's the yacht of this other one now what what if I made it all up would they know no they wouldn't know I could literally just make that up uh here's the actual bank account and it just made it up on my printer you just show it to the kids hey kids this is the actual bank account right here look they took all your money you guys are starving and they started this war and they did it for nothing because Israel is your friend and they just want to live in peace but they told you that they weren't and they gave you this whole story where you had to kill them but it was all kind of a trick so they can make money and they're really just broken evil people and you shouldn't follow them how how hard is it to get a kid to believe they've been uh they've been abused by an adult it's easy you just say it once you with with adults you have to like keep hammering them you got you got to repeat and repeat and repeat if you want to persuade them not with a kid a kid you could just tell them once done you know here's the proof that they were a con people they were just con men the whole time they were not really your your legitimate leaders and they took all your money and they left you in ruin just say it once you you you would reprogram a kid immediately do you know why here's what kids believe you ready for this here's what kids believe the last thing they heard that's it now you know everything about persuading children they believe the last thing they heard unless there's you know something sticky about it that that's got them stuck to it so if they don't if they don't have some objective other way to know what's true and an adult says your history was wrong so we're revising the history lesson now this is the correct lesson what's a kid going to say they're going to to believe the new one instantly uncritically because they have not been abused enough that they know that everything is a lie all the time which is what adults know by the time you're my age you know everything is a lie all the time everything is a lie all the time kids don't know that they still think there's a true true version and a fake version so yeah you could do totally deprogram them if you had full control of the schools all right um apparently uh looks like Israel I don't know if US helped but they did a drone attack and they took out an top Iranian General Brigadier General razi musavi uh and they took him out in Damascus in Syria so the Iranians of course were not too happy about that so there have been some Iranian proxies attacking some American assets over there and some Americans got killed and then the us is going to attack back or already has so we're in a proxy war with Iran um and I guess the question is how big it gets so my guess would be it's going to stay small because I think Iran just needs to show that they're pushing back the United States needs to show that you know they're not going to get away with it Israel is going to take as easy shots of the generals who leave Iran because they don't want to kill their generals who are in Iran that would be too much of a provocation so I feel like again everybody's getting what they want so it's not going to change you know Iran wants to poke the United States and that's sort of the whole thing they know the United States isn't going to pack up and leave they just want to poke them and the US needs to respond so they're going to respond so everybody's getting what they want Iran's going to poke we're going to respond Israel is going to kill any generals that leave Iran I don't know that that leads to war because it's sort of like people getting what they wanted in the short run that doesn't seem to me that that would escalate but I could be very wrong about that we'll see I saw a report from Joel Pollock in Breitbart that Israel has seized 30,000 explosives in Gaza strap that includes uh Rockets I guess so I we don't know how much of that is Rockets but 30,000 explosives that would do some damage um but the amazing thing to me is that Gaza is still launching Ro uh Rockets um yeah I'm being asked here if I Think Jesus was the greatest human Persuader ever born into man kind um I'd say no because he didn't write the Bible so it was the writing of the Bible that you know there's something about the way it's written this seems to be the persuasive part so I would I would say uh the historical Jesus if we assume there was a real Jesus was probably very persuasive very persuasive but the the real persuasion was the book because most of us never met Jesus but we saw the book um anyway so that's what's happening over there uh bunch of protests planned I guess there's a protest planned for the Holocaust Museum so the pro Palestinians are allegedly going to protest at the Holocaust Museum does that sound true to you that doesn't sound true you know what it sounds like it sounds like um an OP it sounds like maybe somebody who's pro-israeli possibly an American somebody who's pro-israeli has put together a fake protest uh marketing saying hey everybody meet at the Holocaust Museum to protest it because I can't think of anything that would be more pro- Israel and pro- Jew than tricking the Palestinians into protesting the Holocaust Museum can you think of anything that would be more pro-israel than that that would be the single best op I've ever seen how hard would it be to put together a fake protest you maybe you bribe one person who's a organizer or something or maybe you just do it yourself just put up the signs because if you're just a protester you don't know who put up the sign do you you don't know who started the viral thing on Tik Tok to show up at the Holocaust Museum I think the whole thing might be a trick because I'm trying to imagine I'm trying to imagine the organizers who are actually the pro Palestinian organizers I can't imagine them thinking that's a good idea what what be obvious that's the worst thing to do like really really obvious yeah like unite the right absolutely it's exactly like that yep yep somebody somebody said in the comments is it like you unite the right that was the Charleston or um charville the Char will fine people march yeah that that will fine people march has has oper written all over it definitely they were real racists but the organization part that was a little too on the nose a little too on the nose I don't believe that was organic but that's just me all right um so and I guess there were protest planned for New Year's Eve and there were protests on Christmas but but I saw the protests in New York City um described as hundreds hundreds of pro Palestine protester are we too worried about hundreds hundreds doesn't sound like a lot they're getting a lot of attention but it's hundreds it's allow 100 I just don't know how big of this is it might not be that big all right um Elon Musk has weighed in on the Ubi question the universal basic income and what musk says so the idea is that uh the government at some point in our history might need to just give people money a basic income without working just so they can buy stuff otherwise they die uh but mus says there will be Universal High income not basic uh in a positive AI future so he thinks AI will get us to a point where you would not only have income but you'd have high income you could kind of buy whatever you wanted in the in the ordinary living space anyway couldn't necessarily buy a you know luxury car but you could buy everything you needed in the in the general quality of life area and mus says there'll be no scarcity except that which we Define to be scarce uh in that scenario everyone can have whatever goods and service they want but then musk warns and this is a good one is less clear how we will find meaning in a world where work is optional now of course Elon Musk would be sensitive to how do you find meaning in work because his work probably has more meaning than anybody else I means literally the the value of his work could be saving Humanity you know by Interstellar flight and saving the climate if the climates problem so yeah I mean elon's work is about as me and you know Free Speech just I even forgot that one I forgot about preserving free speech so his work is about the most meaningful work I've ever seen in my life uh mine is pretty meaningful at least how I Define meaning um and I got to tell you that Christmas was tough for me because I tried to not work on Christmas you know except for the live streams didn't work out for me I I found myself very unhappy that I wasn't doing something useful I don't know how to not be useful if if I'm not making some kind of improvement in the world or for somebody I know or something even a stranger like I don't really feel good and I could feel that like on Christmas really really acutely so I was happy to get back to work today um what do you think do you think we'll have a point where our biggest problem is that everything's free and we don't have any purpose in life I I feel like we would find a way to make things not free like the government would always get in the way and say oh no you can't have all free stuff because it'll make you sad or something I don't know I I feel like you can only get the universal High income in a free free maros scenario but that we don't have anything like a free maros so how do you how do you get there we'll see uh margerie Taylor green got swatted for the eighth time on Christmas day I guess they turned around before they got to her house because they checked first which seems wise um I feel like there needs to be some kind of way that the swatters can tell what's real before they go this gu be some like code or trick or secret handshake or I don't know what the answer is but there ought to be something that doesn't exist that could exist yeah like the secret code word but then you know maybe you're under duress or something I don't know so I I don't know defund defund the police yeah um but I do think that the people who call in the fake swats should be charged with attempted murder do you agree that calling in a fake SWAT should be attempted murder because why else are you doing it that that's the whole point is to get somebody killed so that should be attempted murder yeah and how do these swap people not know the location of the call can you hide the can you hide your identity and location when you call the police if you call 911 don't they always know who you are I don't know the answer to that oh if you use a VPN I use a VPN okay but for those of us not using a VPN I have I have one but for those who don't have one would they would 911 always know who you are even if your phone is unregistered yeah try calling 911 and hagging up they'll call you back right well but they got your number I know I don't know what they know but that situation needs to get fixed um also Elon mus talking about unions he said uh most of the democratic part is controlled by the unions they carry far more weight than the environmentalists do you think that's true do you think the unions carry more weight than the environmentalists probably just CU they have more money yeah probably uh certainly the teachers unions do um and B and mus says that Biden uh gladly admits it and he says that must says in Biden's speech uh he literally says the UAW elected me the Auto Workers now think about that and then Elon says the White House cold shoulder meaning their coldness to uh Tesla started well before I said controversial things in other words the the United Auto Workers who are not in Tesla so Tesla's nonunion but the unionized companies are competing with Tesla so the unionized car companies the biggest influence on the Democrats are basically forcing the Democrats to diss the car company that's doing the most to solve climate change the it's like really happening in the real world in the real world right before our eyes the Democrats are saying our biggest thing is climate change it's an existential threat and then while we while we watch we watch the United Auto Workers who are definitely not on that page saying you know you're going to have to be bad to Tesla the only solution to the climate change problem so the Democrats have created a system called the Democrats in which they have their highest priority they can't work on because of their highest influence so their greatest influence prevents their own party from working on their own highest priority how how messed up is that is that true on the Republicans as well let me think is there let's see if we can do this on the Republican side is there what's the highest priority on the Republican side abortion seems like it's abortion in the Border abortion in the Border let's say it's immigration and abortion uh are the Republicans is there anything about the Republican party is there any interest group within the Republican Party oh yeah the coch brothers the coch brothers are Republicans right and aren't they sort of in favor of uh kind of easy immigration because their companies might need it or am I do have that wrong I might have that wrong yeah well I don't think the Republicans have the same degree of problem where the highest priority is made Impossible by the strong EST influence in their own party I don't think that's the case because the strongest influence on the Republican side still wants a tough border immigration or yeah border control so I think Republicans at the very least are consistent which is their highest priority is actually backed by their most influential members is that fair to say that on the Republican side their highest priorities immigration and abortion are pretty much backed by their most influential members I see it no yeah yeah the the Democrat Party seems absurd it's absurd in that is so poorly organized that it's basically just fighting itself it looks like you know the the the ultra wokes fighting the regular Democrats all right so I don't see that so much in uh in the Republicans but a little bit um now that we know that the reason there's so much illegal immigration in the United States and other places is that there are all these NOS these non-government organizations in some cases might be getting funding from governments but I think they're mostly getting George Soros funding and rich people funding um but they've created this whole structure to make it really easy to go illegally from Africa for example or any other third world country to America so they organize it they tell you where to go they tell you how to do it who to talk to and without it I can't imagine an African migrating to America like a a lowincome African because how would an African even figure out how to do it how would they afford it how would they figure out you know the mechanisms to get here Etc but the NGO is apparently all that they make sure they can eat travel get taken care of get to the right place now isn't that an act of War when I look at the border it looks like an act of War so why is it that the United States allows NOS to wage war on the United States is it because the NGS don't say it's war is it just they' defined it not as War so then therefore it's not a war but isn't it up to us to decide if it's a war don't we get to decide that yes this looks like a war I would declare war on the Nos and I would declare them uh terrorist organizations and I would give them 30 days to stop doing what they're doing which is making it easy for immigrants to come here and if they didn't do it I would kill them all I would kill them all yeah I would absolutely kill the mo but militarily with lots of warning and in the most legal way we can within the rules of War but I think our CIA could kill them in their bed because ass to be stopped yeah so I I think we need to stop treating the NGS as charitable organizations they're just part of a war machine and they need to be killed after a warning and only within a legal a legal context nothing illegal I'm not suggesting any illegal violence I'm suggesting military self-defense in the context of a direct and existential threat to the United States basic ordinary stuff nothing unusual about it at all so yeah um and I think Soros has to be a Target at this point if he's funding them I think that George Soros specifically if it could be found that he's the primary one funding the NOS which are acting essentially like a military invasion of the United States that would make him a Target now again I'm not saying we should just go kill him in his sleep you should give 30 days and say you need to stop funding these following organizations if you do you're you're part of the military operation against the United States and then way to act accordingly and just take him out but I'm kind of done around are you can can we just talk plainly who whoever is behind the mass immigration into the United States they need to be killed but legally completely legally no illegal X and I think that the legal justification is just so obvious you could get the legal cover for it in 24 hours if you wanted it so um am I the first person to say this out loud I I feel like I am right well looks like that went over better than I thought so maybe it'll be a thing all right uh AI is causing a racism Gap according to axios or might make one worse so researchers warned that generative AI could add 43 billion to America's already Stark racial wealth Gap yeah because the thing I care about in every goddamn topic is how it how it's going to harm my diversity how about I don't give a I don't care at all you know do you know do you know what else increases um uh unequal distribution of stuff everything everything literally everything do you know what else AI is going to make unfair it's going to suck to be over 50 because the over 50s are not going to you know adopt it as easily as the young people and the young people will probably get all kinds of benefits because they can figure out how to you know work in that world and the older people will try to take a pass and they'll suffer for it how about how about uh gender how about gender so we watched the uh internet Tech Boom turn out to be mostly a male phenomenon meaning that most of the employees at the high-end jobs were male so that so the entire Tech you know revolution has been insanely bad for um you know your gap between gender right didn't it make men earn more because they were attracted to stem jobs and women less so and the stem jobs were great pay so the AI will just be more of that bad for women bad for seniors bad for everybody with low IQ at least until there's Universal High income I guess it's going to be bad for all kinds of people it'll just be good for some small group of uh asian-americans who figured out how to capitalize on it it's going to be indian-americans and asian-americans are going to do great in the world of AI and robots I think white Americans are not going to be at the top of that list but um yeah I really don't care if it causes more of a gap because everything does just literally everything does everything does um all right now last night in my man cave uh live stream I showed a proof that we live in a simulation now I'm going to ask the people in the locals platform who saw the man cave after you thought about it for a day is it good enough for me to do it here in front of the live in the larger audience or would I embarrass myself I'm just going to wait to see if they if they think I'll embarrass myself I got a lot of nose not not good enough not convinced perfect I'm definitely going to do it all right here here's the proof we live in a simulation now proof of course is hyperbole because it's you know nothing's ever proved but uh my hypothesis is that if you could prove that history is made on demand you would have proven that we're a simulation all right so in other words if you could prove somehow that um if you start digging a hole if you could prove somehow there's no way to do it but if you could that there's nothing under the ground until you start digging and then the reality is filled in while you dig if you could prove that would you agree that we're probably a simulation does that does the first part make sense if you could prove that we create the the past only when we need it no you think that our reality would be the way it looks if you could create the past on demand if you could create the past on demand definitely our current view of reality is is debunked because it would mean the evolution was fake I mean everything basically the Big Bang everything so I'm going to take that as my starting point if you could prove that history is created on demand as opposed to as always was always there we're simulation now you he the double slid experiment and you've heard that in in physics a particle is sort of only probably someplace until it's observed you all know that right it's a weird part of quantum physics that a particle doesn't exist until it's either measured by a machine like an instrument or some kind of human or conscious entity now did you ever seem weird to you that a conscious observation can uh change a particle into a specific thing as opposed to a probability wave but why could a machine do it do you every think that was weird that you could just use an instrument to measure something and then the in strument can collapse the probability without you even being there well what that tells you is is that reality is not subjective because a machine could do what a human did collapsing the reality right so that's that's what that tells you but here's what's wrong with that uh with that experiment if you're familiar with the double slit experiment um if you want to find out more about this just Google double slit experiment and you'll go down a rabbit hole that make you crazy but let's say that there are two ways to collapse probability into a real thing one is a human and the other is instruments here's the part that nobody asked you or told you how do you know the instrument did it how do you know if the instrument did what the direct observation did how would you know the instrument did it well at some point the instrument has to tell you right a human has to look at the instrument and say that there it is that instrument measured it and sure enough it collapsed it do you see what's wrong with that it took me years to figure out what's wrong with that but I I just figured it out this week what's wrong with it is in both cases it's a human observation you're either directly looking at the thing and then it collapses into a point or you look at the machine that looked at it and it's that point that it collapses it's only when you look at the machine because the machine is just another way of observing it so in other words the machine never collapsed anything what happened was when you looked at the machine an entire history that included the machine came into view and had never existed before so until you look at the machine's reading it didn't read anything you actually caus the past of the machine read where the point was by looking at the machine now your other possibility is that a machine can collapse reality maybe but it doesn't make sense in any way that we can understand anything but what about if everything is subjective if everything is subjective that would make us probably a simulation but it would also explain why the chain of events from the instrument to its reading a a whole chain of uh actions could be created on demand in the future and you can recreate the past so two possibilities either it's all subjective and always has been or a machine can collapse reality and then they're not going to tell you that well it only does that if a human someday looks at the machine if you had a machine that destroyed itself after measuring could it do it would it collapse reality if it destroyed itself after measuring and nobody could tell the reading yeah why just human because it's all in our imaginations that's why I believe a dog could also collapse reality if that dog then interacted with a human who realized that the dog had collapsed the reality but it but ultimately you have to get to the human so I believe that the double slit experiment has always been misinterpreted because humans have a uh a block and the block is that they don't want to believe or scientists don't want to believe that everything is subjective and we're living in a in a simulation since that is too hard to accept they rather accept through cognitive dissonance that the machine has collapsed reality the same way a person could when a better look at it would be well not until a human looks at the machine so it's all just a human so I think the scientists have a block that they can't see the obvious that it's just people it's never been machines now is any of that true I don't know it was fun to think about I don't have any particular uh scientific um skill so me being wrong about science would be the most ordinary thing in the world all I'm going to add is did you really believe that machines could collapse reality just just ask yourself was that ever believable it's weird enough that a person can but at least you can understand how a person could because it that would support a subjective reality simulation kind of world that all Mak sense but how does the machine do it it never did the most obvious answer is it never did it was just scientists misinterpreting what they were saying all right and that ladies and gentlemen concludes the best live stream of the day um and uh I'll certainly be here for the man cave for the subscribers of locals later tonight and I hope you have a great day hope you got all the presents you want and you you finally away from your family and you're happy again and I'll talk to you tomorrow thanks for joining You.

Tube see you tomorrow

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization post

Christmas 2023 version everybody survive

everybody have a good time good well if

you'd like to take your experience up to

levels that have never been experienced

before all you need is a copper mugger

glass a tanker cheler Stein a canteen

Jugger flask a vessel of any kind

fill it with your favorite liquid I like

coffee and join me now for the

unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine

end of the day thing makes everything

better it's called the simultaneous zp

savor it

go yeah the savoring is

good well I saw another idea that AI is

going to change the world uh from the X

account of Prince of fakes bri.

a um he wants a uh an AI company that

will build him a uh a sex toy for a

men that will talk so he wants his sex

toy to be able to talk to him like AI

talks

to and he he's hoping that somebody will

build one of those in 20124

but um I have some advice for you never

buy version 1.0 so I'm going to wait for

the sex toy that's an upgrade to the

talking one uh the one that doesn't

talk so I'm going to wait for version

two once they get rid of that talking

bug because I don't want to talking to

me so if we can get rid of that version

2.0 I wait for that if I'm you well

Trump had a nice beautiful little

Christmas

message uh which had had him railing

against all of his enemies and haters

and he finished up his uh Christmas

message with in all caps may they rot in

hell again Merry

Christmas

okay is is it just me or is everything

he does

funny he rails against he rails against

his enemies for Christmas of all days

and then he ends it with may they rotten

hell again Mary

Christmas so this is a pattern he likes

to

do uh where he says bad things and then

good things at the same time it's very

funny and I like the fact that it makes

all of his

haters can't kind of draw attention to

it

anyway uh R in reports that uh latest

latest polling shows that Trump has a

command lead in the primaries he's got a

51% of likely Republican primary voters

compared to number two I guess is Nikki

Hy now at 13 so I guess Ronda santis is

a non- entity these

days uh but how do you explain that in

the National

poll uh Haley is way behind Trump but

allegedly allegedly in New Hampshire

she's kind of close

how do you explain

that well I like to use my uh my

explaining method called follow the the

money let me ask you this if you could

if you had the ability to bribe your way

into one fake

pole and you know there hundreds of

polls happening all the time but if

there were just one pole that you could

somehow bribe them or pay for it to be

distorted what would be the very best

one to

do I'm thinking New

Hampshire wouldn't that be the the

number one most valuable thing to

corrupt because everybody's always

looking for the New Hampshire now I

would have said Iowa but I think New

Hampshire is

smaller and it's the small the smallness

which suggests it be easier to corrupt I

don't know if that's true but it

suggests it

so I wouldn't believe any New Hampshire

poll it has nothing to do with the

specific people who are running it it

just has to do with the fact that if

there were any one poll that you really

want really wanted to be corrupted that

would be the one that that's the one

that because it's going to get headlines

and and the News likes shift in momentum

stories they don't like well he's still

a head story so much but they love oh

somebody came from behind The Comeback

Kid so New Hampshire is all about

creating the artificial come from behind

story that's all it is because New

Hampshire is not a representative of the

country am I right the country doesn't

look like New Hampshire so whatever

happens in New Hampshire shouldn't tell

you anything about anything so the only

purpose is to get a surprise

that's it you just have to get a

surprise and it's the cheapest place to

buy a surprise again I'm not I'm not

saying anybody did that I don't have any

evidence of that I'm just saying your

critical news

watching uh you know your critical mind

should ask the question what would be

the most likely poll to be corrupted

it's got to be that one of all the polls

in the world it's got to be that one but

I don't have any evidence that it

is all right

um

Argentina is an interesting situation

now with the new

president and I saw an account or report

that he was kicked off of Instagram is

that true did the new president of

Argentina get kicked off of

Instagram for what I don't know is that

even true I guess I need a fact check on

that but um if so it would once again

show the importance of X as the last

remaining Free Speech

place he's back on Instagram oh so it

probably was a mistake wasn't it oh yeah

I think I heard somewhere that there was

no explanation why he got kicked off

meaning it might not have been political

might have been a dirty trick or

something that they

reversed

okay

all right well maybe that's already

fixed there's a brand new blood test

that can detect cancer in two hours and

it doesn't cost much it's like just a

few

bucks um wouldn't that change everything

a blood test that can accurately find

cancer in two hours and it doesn't cost

much for the test wouldn't you do that

test after a certain age wouldn't you do

that test every three months it's only

three bucks you know a few

bucks yeah I don't think it's you know

it's not quite ready for the market but

apparently it passed some tests so

that's pretty awesome could be a big

Improvement in

2024 I'd like to give you once again my

uh my periodic warning don't fall for

the love language is Con you know that

idea that people have a different love

language some some people can only be

they can only feel love if you give them

let's say quality time that's one love

language or gifts or acts of service or

physical touch uh words of affirmation I

think there might be another one I'm

missing but everybody apparently has

their preferred way they want to receive

love it's a con don't fall for

it and if anybody ever tells you their

love language is acts of service or

gifts they're try to get a free

Butler don't go for the free Butler oh

if only I do everything She Wants she'll

love me if I also buy her stuff so if I

buy her gifts and then do everything she

wants she will love me no that's not

really love that's a trick yeah run away

from that as fast as you can let me tell

you uh now uh to be fair I got some uh

push back from an author Andrew

Christian who said when I said this on X

this morning he said you offer much

wisdom Scott but relationship Mastery is

not in your skill

stack is that

fair is it fair to say relationship

Mastery is not part of my

expertise I think that's half right

here's the half that's right I cannot

tell you how to make a relationship

work nope no

idea the the best I have for you is that

when two good people meet

young and get together when they're

young often it works great I

hear otherwise I don't have any advice

no advice whatsoever but I would like to

push back on Andrew's comment that I

have I have not mastered relationship

skill I would say I very much know what

doesn't work

because relationships are two parts what

works and then avoiding what doesn't

work you don't think I'm an expert on

what doesn't work come on who are you

going to

ask test me you give me give me a

standardized test on what doesn't work

well I'm going to get 100% on that one

now if you give me another test of what

does work I'll be

like know I feel like it just depends on

the two people

if you have two good

people and they have some you know

chemical attraction probably it works

every time just because they're good

people you know people who can consider

the other person's feelings and then

adjust on their own without being told

to you know like good functioning people

that probably works every time but if

you only have one functioning person or

no functioning people I don't think your

love language is going to fix that yeah

well you're an abusive alcoholic but

maybe if I gave you

gifts maybe maybe that would turn things

around no no your Abus of

alcoholic gifts are not going to turn it

around all

right

um let's see uh here's another follow

the money for

you uh how many of you are alarmed you

should be that Insurance actuarials are

saying that there's a lot of excess

death how many of you are alarmed by

insurance company experts who really are

the ones you trust right because they

they have to you know base their entire

economics on get being

right so the I believe it's the

insurance companies who are telling us

there's excess mortality am I right can

you give me a fact

check it's the insurance companies who

have the most

reliable

credible uh data that says we have

excess mortality that we can't explain

right and somebody on X said well it

must be true because you're hearing it

from the companies that have to get it

right is that fair let me let me give

you a test these are companies that have

to get it right so therefore they're the

most credible source for whether or not

there's excess mortality

right yeah okay well there might be one

problem with that do you know how

insurance companies set their rates does

anybody know how they set their rates

it's based on what their risk is yeah so

they set the rates based on the

perceived risk if the if the mortality

rate was exactly the same every year

what would their rates

be same every year same because the

mortality rate would be the same now

they'd adjust for maybe inflation or

maybe competitive forces but basically

if it's based on how many people are

dying

flat right now if you're an insurance

company what would your

economic interest

suggest would it suggest that if you

said I think in the future there and in

the past recently there's a lot of

excess

deaths hey all those excess deaths what

are we going to do with our rates I've

got an idea why don't we substantially

raise our rates because of all the

excess deaths because we're going to

have to pay pay these people when they

die for the life insurance right so how

many of you fell for believing the

people who have the greatest incentive

to lie to you the insurance companies

the greatest economic incentive to lie

to you how many of you said to yourself

well that's a good

source how many of you fell for

that did you fall for that that the good

source is the one who has the greatest

incentive to light you because they have

a direct a direct Financial benefit to

light

you all right I would like to raise my

hand and acknowledge my

stupidity that it took me till today to

realize that honestly

idiot I could not be more disappointed

myself it took me until

today literally this morning I said huh

wait a minute if if the insurance

companies convinced us that there's a

lot of excess

mortality I'm going to have to pay more

for my wait a minute wait a

minute is anybody having the same

experience right now where you just

assume the actuarials would be the good

data it couldn't possibly be true

because literally everybody is

influenced by money how would you like

to be the Actuarial who who under who

under projected deaths you're

fired suppose you over projected

deaths

promotion because you you set the rates

at The Highest Potential uh

profitability rate and you got away with

it promotion

bonus all right I don't know what's true

about xss so I'm not going to tell you

that it's not true I'm just going to

tell you that if your source is

actuarials not credible not even a

little bit credible follow the money it

always

works all right um another study shows

us what I think we all suspected that um

loneliness may increase your risk of

death so there's a new study about this

uh Lindsay Kobayashi in the proceedings

of the National Academy of Sciences

something out of the University of

Michigan and it basically says that

loneliness seems strongly implicated in

dying

now while there are certainly questions

about the safety of the

vaccinations always good to have those

questions and there are questions about

any long Co and we we certainly know

about obesity and less um

maybe we're a little less

active we know that there are more

suicides and there's more fental and all

that but if I had to pick one variable

that's been underappreciated it's the

loneliness

thing how many of you have experienced

bad

Health that was instantly solved by

having

somebody uh just come over and say

hi I've actually experienced that lately

I've actually experienced my body like

just feeling terrible and then you have

some social interaction that's positive

and your entire physicality

changes

instantly instantly just your entire

physicality changes now I would be

amazed if loneliness doesn't kill people

because the way I actually feel when I

have that feeling of loneliness is like

there's a weight on my chest and every

part of my you know vital systems is

starting to shut down because I think

when you're lonely you don't feel any

reason to

live now lots of people like being alone

which is different I'm not talking about

people like being alone that can be a

plus but if you're lonely and you really

need people and you're not getting them

I feel like you just don't have a reason

to

live and I do have a dog a dog doesn't

doesn't help that much you know it's

better than nothing but yeah dog doesn't

help your human

loneliness anyway so I think that's

probably uh one of the big variables I

think the excess if there is excess uh

mortality it's probably several

reasons

several all right axios reports there's

a home

shortage so we're short about 3.2

million homes which is why our prices

are staying High

now why in the world in a place like

America would there ever be a shortage

of something so basic as a

home and it's not even that people can't

afford them apparently just a shortage

of

them now it's not Black Rock because

Black Rock buys them and then instantly

rents them out so all the homes that are

bought by the big hedge funds they they

actually have them rented before they

buy them did you know that that they

actually arrange for the renters and

then they go buy the homes so they're

instantly rented so they're actually

they're actually increasing the rate of

people in homes they're not decreasing

it it's just that they're put in

rentals yeah

so uh I don't think that they're

distinguishing between rentals and

owning a home they're just saying

they're not enough

homes but this is entirely a government

Pro problem isn't

it

let let me ask you this if you were to

make a list of problems the government

solved it'd be a pretty serious list but

if you made a separate list of problems

the government created it'd be a pretty

big list too wouldn't it like every time

the government gets in the way of um the

free market and that's obviously What's

Happening Here uh it's all

bad so I'm going to say it for the

billionth time

I think robots will be big and AI will

be big of course but one of the

biggest sources of economic uh activity

is going to be completely rebuilding

homes putting these little uh pre-made

Factory adus you know the little

backyard in-law homes they're going to

be wild I mean they're going to go crazy

that Market's going to be huge and I saw

yet another

uh I saw yet another uh Instagram

real in which there's some it looks like

a Mexican company it was in Spanish so I

couldn't tell the details but they're

making bricks so they have machines that

look like they're manual where you just

put the right amount of dirt and water

or whatever you put in there and then

you you press down and you make a

brick but one of the machines that I saw

it makes a brick that's like a

Lego so the the process of stacking them

is as simple as you put it on top and it

goes exactly where it's supposed to and

you're you're kind of done I think you

pour some concrete over it or something

so now you can make your own bricks

without an electricity no electricity

needed and the bricks are you to just

fit together so anybody can be a a brick

layer

basically so I think that that and about

a million other um things are going to

have us not only so here's the key to my

prediction it won't be just that we'll

build new h homes and let's say new

cities but we will have to completely

tear down and rebuild existing homes to

make them as good as the new ones

because the existing ones are going to

look like garbage once new ones are

doing what they need to do they're going

to be so much less expensive to maintain

and all that so I think there's going to

be a u remodeling surge like you've

never seen

before and it will be good for

employment for probably 10 years

that's what I

say

um Wall Street Journal is reporting that

the coch family or cotch how do you say

him K C how do you pronounce that I

always read it but I never hear it

Coke all right it's pronounced like Coke

K C anyway it's the Koch family and its

network of donors say the Wall Street

Journal are starting to back Nikki

Elli why is it that everything looks

exactly like you think it

is what why does it look exactly like

you suspected that the big

industrialists are going to back Nikki

Haley and the military industrial

complex it kind of looks exactly like it

looks doesn't

it so we'll see how that goes all right

let's talk about Israel Nan Yahoo has a

three conditions for peace number one

destroy Hamas number two demilitarize

Gaza and number three deprogram the

Palestinians deprogram them well uh I

think he used the word

deradicalize deradicalize but that's

sort of deprogram but deradicalize

sounds uh less

provocative because everybody's in favor

of der radicalizing but not everybody

would be in favor of

brainwashing same thing it's going to

require brainwashing to

deradicalize

um so here's what I think about that

what is missing in the three-point plan

is who's going to run Gaza and the West

Bank isn't he leaving out who's in

charge after it's

done I the most important part how are

you going to accomplish keeping Hamas

destroyed demilitarizing it and and

keeping it that way at deprogramming

Palestinians unless Israel has full

control of it it's the only way they're

going have to full control anybody who

thought the two-state

solution was ever an option it really

never was and I'm going to tell you the

reason that nobody else is going to tell

you here's why the two-state solution

was never an option because the parties

involved didn't want

it they both wanted a one stay solution

where they

won surprise and they both prefer the

fight to the

peace now when I say they I don't mean

every citizen every the citizens of both

Israel and Gaza probably a lot of the

citizens don't want to fight probably a

lot but the governments are a different

situation let me tell you what I would

do if I were

Israel every time the Palestinians did

something horrible I would take some

more of their

land

because it's like a free punch oh all

right if you're going to attack us we'll

keep your land oh if you're going to

attack us again I guess we'll keep your

land again so Israel has this strategy

where if they just allow the

Palestinians to do what the Palestinians

apparently want to do which is

elect mil militaristic leaders and have

them threaten Israel that Israel will

just do the obvious natural thing which

is use those provocations to their

advantage so I think Israel is

growing and if you were to fast forward

a 100 years into the future and you were

to look back at this period you would

say to yourself I hate to tell you that

Netanyahu is going to be like Thomas

Jefferson right Thomas Jefferson doing

the Louisiana Purchase increasing the

size of the United States Netanyahu is

going to look like that in a 100 years

right I mean there'll always be two

stories about him there'll be the good

one and the bad one but if he succeeds

in basically completely controlling Gaza

and completely filling the West Bank

with settlements until it's a de facto

you know Israeli country um then it's

going to look like it was one of the

biggest successes of a country in the

history of countries in 100 years at the

moment it just looks you know like hey

hey why can't you get along you know we

don't understand why you can't get along

well why you can't get along is that

Israel benefits from taking advantage of

the bad

stuff now Glennon

Greenwald tells us

provocatively that it's always been the

uh the Israelis who turned down the two

State peace

deals have you always been told that it

was the uh the PLO and the Palestinians

who were always turning down the great

peace

deals is that your understanding what's

happened it was always the Palestinians

they would get these great deals and

then they would turn them down right

well Gren Glenn Greenwald will tell you

it's the opposite so which is it does

Glenn Greenwald have the accurate story

that it's always been Israel because

Greenwald says that netanyahu's bragged

about killing the two State

solution that he's actively bragged

about it in

public do you believe

that here's what I believe I believe

that it doesn't matter if Netanyahu

killed it or not because it wouldn't

have

worked what's the

difference yeah I'm not sure he's the

bad guy because it wouldn't have worked

it would have just given the other side

time to rebuild build up their military

and then they would have attacked and it

just would have turned into this

eventually you know the October 7th was

going to happen any way you look at it

so I don't think a two-stage solution

was ever possible and I'm going to give

you the uh inarguable answer

why and I'm going to call this

Schrodinger's

Jew Schrodinger's Jew you've heard of

Schrodinger's cat right it's a famous

experiment in physics where the cat um

if the cat's in his sealed box and

there's some poison there that will

randomly be uh either uh Reeve the the

poison will either uh be active or not

but it's random if you're outside the

box the phys physicists argue well you

don't know if the cat is alive or dead

but until it's observed or

measured is both that the cat exists in

a transposition of both being both alive

and dead now as as far as I can tell

that's the only way to solve peace in

the Middle East because it turns out

that too many of the Palestinians not

all of them of course but too many of

them would only be happy when the Jews

are all

dead now the Jews I haven't asked them

but I'm almost positive that they'd be

happier if they

lived so you have two

unsolvable things here one is you must

all be dead

and the other is well we prefer to live

so I think that the only way you can

have a peace deal is Shing your

Jews where the Palestinians believe that

they've killed all the Jews and yet the

Jews are living happily completely alive

and

safe

so yeah in other words it's impossible

so every every minute you spend wasted

talking about a two-state solution is

just a waste of time there is no

two-state solution except for the Absurd

you know that the Jews are both alive

and dead so that everybody can get what

they want right it's not

possible so Schrodinger's Jew I'm adding

that to the conversation so stop talking

about a two- State Solution that's never

going to

happen all right um but can uh Netanyahu

do these three things can he destroy

Hamas I say mostly yes it might be like

a 95% thing not 100% thing but mostly

yes if they put enough you know

resources that it they can probably get

close to it can they

demilitarize yes as long as Israel

maintains full military control of the

area if they let somebody else do it uh

maybe not but yes it's doable very hard

but doable but can they deprogram the

pal

Palestinians oh here's the question well

this is my domain persuasion so let me

tell you the definitive

answer you can't reprogram the older

people too late everything you tell them

will just turn into cognitive dissonance

and a reason why it's not true so the

older people can't be can't be

fixed but let's say people under

25 it did I say this on the live stream

yesterday I don't remember I might be

repeating myself but can you reprogram

children how hard is it to reprogram

children and the answer is really easy

simple children are like a light switch

you can turn them on and you can turn

them off just as fast so yes if you if

you put the right uh kind of effort into

it you can change a kid into to any

belief you

want and I'm not talking about

six-year-old kids I'm talking about

19-year olds 20y olds 25 it it starts

falling off really quickly after their

brains are formed you know up to 25

they're still a little flexible after

that the flexibility goes away pretty

quickly now if you can keep weapons away

from the older you know

militants you know make make them unable

to do what they might want to do and you

can retrain the younger people and the

teens there is a way

forward but can you do those things

could you get enough control over the

schools to teach them that they've been

had now um oh so David let me clarify so

David King says this guy is insane so if

you're doubting if you're doubting my

statement that even the Palestinian

children can be completely reversed let

me let me tell you how easy it

is you'd have to find the right lever

and the right lever that works with all

young people is the old people had been

lying to you before that'll work every

time because young people are already

primed to believe that old that the

older generation is lying to them we we

don't need to be

convinced it's the easiest thing in the

world uh I can reprogram every

Palestinian kid in like 30 minutes if if

you know if I could cause them to listen

to me I could do it now I'd probably

have to be you know dressed up like a a

Muslim cleric or something you know it

have to be coming from somebody credible

but all I have to do is say here's

here's the bank accounts of the uh

leaders of

Hamas here's their bank accounts this

one's guy's got a billion dollars here's

the here's the yacht of this other one

now what what if I made it all up would

they know no they wouldn't know I could

literally just make that up uh here's

the actual bank account and it just made

it up on my printer you just show it to

the kids hey kids this is the actual

bank account right here look they took

all your money you guys are starving and

they started this war and they did it

for nothing because Israel is your

friend and they just want to live in

peace but they told you that they

weren't and they gave you this whole

story where you had to kill them but it

was all kind of a trick so they can make

money and they're really just broken

evil people and you shouldn't follow

them how how hard is it to get a kid to

believe they've been uh they've been

abused by an adult it's easy you just

say it

once you with with adults you have to

like keep hammering them you got you got

to repeat and repeat and repeat if you

want to persuade them not with a kid a

kid you could just tell them once done

you know here's the proof that they were

a con people they were just con men the

whole time they were not really your

your legitimate leaders and they took

all your money and they left you in ruin

just say it

once you you you would reprogram a kid

immediately do you know why here's what

kids believe you ready for this here's

what kids

believe the last thing they heard

that's it now you know everything about

persuading children they believe the

last thing they

heard unless there's you know something

sticky about it that that's got them

stuck to it so if they don't if they

don't have some objective other way to

know what's

true and an adult says your history was

wrong so we're revising the history

lesson now this is the correct lesson

what's a kid going to say they're going

to to believe the new one instantly

uncritically because they have not been

abused enough that they know that

everything is a lie all the time which

is what adults know by the time you're

my age you know everything is a lie all

the

time everything is a lie all the time

kids don't know that they still think

there's a true true version and a fake

version so yeah you could do totally

deprogram them if you had full control

of the schools

all right

um apparently uh looks like Israel I

don't know if US helped but they did a

drone attack and they took out an top

Iranian General Brigadier General razi

musavi uh and they took him out in

Damascus in

Syria so the Iranians of course were not

too happy about that so there have been

some Iranian proxies attacking some

American assets over there and some

Americans got killed and then the us is

going to attack back or already

has so we're in a proxy war with

Iran um and I guess the question is how

big it

gets so my guess would be it's going to

stay small because I think Iran just

needs to show that they're pushing back

the United States needs to show that you

know they're not going to get away with

it Israel is going to take as easy shots

of the generals who leave Iran because

they don't want to kill their generals

who are in Iran that would be too much

of a provocation so I feel like again

everybody's getting what they want so

it's not going to change you know Iran

wants to poke the United States and

that's sort of the whole thing they know

the United States isn't going to pack up

and leave they just want to poke them

and the US needs to respond so they're

going to respond so everybody's getting

what they want Iran's going to poke

we're going to respond Israel is going

to kill any generals that leave

Iran I don't know that that leads to

war because it's sort of like people

getting what they wanted in the short

run that doesn't seem to me that that

would escalate but I could be very wrong

about that we'll see I saw a report from

Joel Pollock in Breitbart that Israel

has seized 30,000 explosives in Gaza

strap that includes uh Rockets I guess

so I we don't know how much of that is

Rockets but 30,000

explosives that would do some

damage um but the amazing thing to me is

that Gaza is still launching Ro uh

Rockets

um

yeah I'm being asked here if I Think

Jesus was the greatest human Persuader

ever born into man

kind um I'd say no because he didn't

write the Bible so it was the writing of

the Bible that you know there's

something about the way it's written

this seems to be the persuasive part so

I would I would

say uh the historical Jesus if we assume

there was a real Jesus was probably very

persuasive very persuasive but the the

real persuasion was the

book because most of us never met Jesus

but we saw the

book

um anyway so that's what's happening

over

there uh bunch of protests planned I

guess there's a protest planned for the

Holocaust

Museum so the pro Palestinians are

allegedly going to protest at the

Holocaust Museum does that sound true to

you

that doesn't sound

true you know what it sounds

like it sounds like um an

OP it sounds like maybe somebody who's

pro-israeli possibly an American

somebody who's pro-israeli has put

together a fake

protest uh marketing saying hey

everybody meet at the Holocaust Museum

to protest it because I can't think of

anything that would be more pro- Israel

and pro-

Jew than tricking the Palestinians into

protesting the Holocaust

Museum can you think of anything that

would be more pro-israel than

that that would be the

single best op I've ever seen how hard

would it be to put together a fake

protest you maybe you bribe one person

who's a organizer or something or maybe

you just do it yourself just put up the

signs because if you're just a protester

you don't know who put up the sign do

you you don't know who started the viral

thing on Tik Tok to show up at the

Holocaust Museum I think the whole thing

might be a

trick because I'm trying to

imagine I'm trying to imagine the

organizers who are actually the pro

Palestinian organizers I can't imagine

them thinking that's a good

idea what what be obvious that's the

worst thing to

do like really really

obvious yeah like unite the right

absolutely it's exactly like

that yep yep somebody somebody said in

the comments is it like you unite the

right that was the Charleston or um

charville the Char will fine people

march yeah that that will fine people

march has

has oper written all over it definitely

they were real racists but the

organization

part that was a little too on the nose a

little too on the nose I don't believe

that was

organic but that's just me all

right um so and I guess there were

protest planned for New Year's Eve and

there were protests on Christmas but but

I saw the protests in New York City

um described as hundreds hundreds of pro

Palestine protester are we too worried

about

hundreds hundreds doesn't sound like a

lot they're getting a lot of attention

but it's

hundreds it's allow 100 I just don't

know how big of this is it might not be

that

big all right um Elon Musk has weighed

in on the Ubi question the universal

basic income and what musk says so the

idea is that uh the government at some

point in our history might need to just

give people money a basic income without

working just so they can buy stuff

otherwise they die uh but mus says there

will be Universal High income not

basic uh in a positive AI future so he

thinks AI will get us to a point where

you would not only have income but you'd

have high income you could kind of buy

whatever you wanted in the in the

ordinary living space anyway couldn't

necessarily buy a you know luxury car

but you could buy everything you needed

in the in the general quality of life

area and mus says there'll be no

scarcity except that which we Define to

be

scarce uh in that scenario everyone can

have whatever goods and service they

want but then musk warns and this is a

good one is less clear how we will find

meaning in a world where work is

optional now of course Elon Musk would

be sensitive to how do you find meaning

in work because his work probably has

more meaning than anybody else I means

literally the the value of his work

could be saving

Humanity you know by Interstellar flight

and saving the climate if the climates

problem so yeah I mean elon's work is

about as me and you know Free Speech

just I even forgot that one I forgot

about preserving free

speech so his work is about the most

meaningful work I've ever seen in my

life uh mine is pretty meaningful at

least how I Define meaning um and I got

to tell you that Christmas was tough for

me because I tried to not work on

Christmas you know except for the live

streams didn't work out for me I I found

myself very unhappy that I wasn't doing

something useful I don't know how to not

be

useful if if I'm not making some kind of

improvement in the world or for somebody

I know or something even a

stranger like I don't really feel good

and I could feel that like on Christmas

really really

acutely so I was happy to get back to

work today

um what do you think do you think we'll

have a point where our biggest problem

is that everything's free and we don't

have any purpose in

life I I feel like we would find a way

to make things not

free like the government would always

get in the way and say oh no you can't

have all free

stuff because it'll make you sad or

something I don't know I I feel like you

can only get the universal High income

in a free free maros

scenario but that we don't have anything

like a free maros so how do you how do

you get there we'll see uh margerie

Taylor green got swatted for the eighth

time on Christmas day I guess they

turned around before they got to her

house because they checked first which

seems

wise um I feel like there needs to be

some kind

of way that the swatters can tell what's

real before they

go this gu be some like code or trick or

secret handshake or I don't know what

the answer is but there ought to be

something that doesn't exist that could

exist yeah like the secret code word but

then you know maybe you're under duress

or something I don't know so I I don't

know defund defund the

police

yeah

um but I do think that the people who

call in the fake swats should be charged

with attempted murder do you

agree that calling in a fake SWAT should

be attempted murder because why else are

you doing it that that's the whole point

is to get somebody killed so that should

be attempted

murder yeah and how do these swap people

not know the location of the

call can you hide the can you hide your

identity and location when you call the

police if you call

911 don't they always know who you are I

don't know the answer to that oh if you

use a VPN I use a VPN okay but for those

of us not using a

VPN I have I have one but for those who

don't have one would they would 911

always know who you are even if your

phone is

unregistered yeah try calling 911 and

hagging up they'll call you back

right well but they got your

number I know I don't know what they

know but that situation needs to get

fixed um also Elon mus talking about

unions he said

uh most of the democratic part is

controlled by the unions they carry far

more weight than the environmentalists

do you think that's true do you think

the unions carry more weight than the

environmentalists probably just CU they

have more

money yeah probably uh certainly the

teachers unions do um and B and mus says

that Biden uh gladly admits it and he

says that must says in Biden's speech uh

he literally says the UAW elected

me the Auto

Workers now think about that and then

Elon says the White House cold shoulder

meaning their coldness to uh Tesla

started well before I said controversial

things in other words the the United

Auto Workers who are not in Tesla so

Tesla's

nonunion but the unionized companies are

competing with Tesla so the unionized

car companies the biggest influence on

the Democrats are basically forcing the

Democrats to diss the car company that's

doing the

most to solve climate

change the it's like really happening in

the real

world in the real world right before our

eyes the Democrats are saying our

biggest thing is climate change it's an

existential threat and then while we

while we watch we watch the United Auto

Workers who are definitely not on that

page saying you know you're going to

have to be bad to Tesla the only

solution to the climate change

problem so the Democrats have created a

system called the Democrats in which

they have their highest

priority they can't work on because of

their highest

influence so their greatest influence

prevents their own party from working on

their own highest

priority how how messed up is

that is that true on the Republicans as

well let me think is there let's see if

we can do this on the Republican side is

there what's the highest priority on the

Republican

side

abortion seems like it's abortion in the

Border abortion in the Border let's say

it's immigration and

abortion uh are the Republicans is there

anything about the Republican party is

there any interest group within the

Republican Party

oh yeah the coch

brothers the coch brothers are

Republicans

right and aren't they sort of in favor

of uh kind of easy immigration because

their companies might need it or am I do

have that wrong I might have that

wrong yeah well I don't think the

Republicans have the same degree of

problem where the highest priority is

made Impossible by the strong EST

influence in their own

party I don't think that's the case

because the strongest influence on the

Republican side still wants a tough

border immigration or yeah border

control so I think Republicans at the

very least are consistent which is their

highest priority is actually backed by

their most influential members is that

fair to say that on the Republican side

their highest priorities immigration and

abortion are pretty much

backed by their most influential members

I see it

no

yeah yeah the the Democrat Party seems

absurd it's absurd in that is so poorly

organized that it's basically just

fighting

itself it looks like you know the the

the ultra wokes fighting the regular

Democrats all right so I don't see that

so much in uh in the Republicans but a

little

bit um now that we know that the reason

there's so much illegal immigration in

the United States and other places is

that there are all these NOS these

non-government organizations in some

cases might be getting funding from

governments but I think they're mostly

getting George Soros funding and rich

people

funding um but they've created this

whole structure to make it really easy

to go illegally from Africa for example

or any other third world country to

America so they organize it they tell

you where to go they tell you how to do

it who to talk to and without it I can't

imagine an African migrating to America

like a a lowincome African because how

would an African even figure out how to

do it how would they afford it how would

they figure out you know the mechanisms

to get here Etc but the NGO is

apparently all that they make sure they

can eat travel get taken care of get to

the right place

now isn't that an act of

War when I look at the border it looks

like an act of War so why is it that the

United States allows

NOS to wage war on the United States is

it because the NGS don't say it's war is

it just they' defined it not as War so

then therefore it's not a war but isn't

it up to us to decide if it's a war

don't we get to decide that yes this

looks like a war I would declare war on

the

Nos and I would declare them uh

terrorist

organizations and I would give them 30

days to stop doing what they're doing

which is making it easy for immigrants

to come here and if they didn't do it I

would kill them all I would kill them

all yeah I would absolutely kill the mo

but militarily with lots of warning and

in the most legal way we can within the

rules of War but I think our CIA could

kill them in their

bed because ass to be stopped yeah so I

I think we need to stop treating the NGS

as charitable

organizations they're just part of a war

machine and they need to be

killed after a warning and only within a

legal a legal context nothing illegal

I'm not suggesting any illegal violence

I'm

suggesting military

self-defense in the context of a direct

and existential threat to the United

States basic ordinary stuff nothing

unusual about it at

all so yeah um and I think Soros has to

be a Target at this point if he's

funding

them I think that George

Soros

specifically if it could be found that

he's the primary one funding the NOS

which are acting essentially like a

military invasion of the United States

that would make him a Target now again

I'm not saying we should just go kill

him in his sleep you should give 30 days

and say you need to stop funding these

following organizations if you do you're

you're part of the military operation

against the United States and then way

to act accordingly and just take him out

but I'm kind of done around are

you can can we just talk

plainly who whoever is behind the mass

immigration into the United States they

need to be

killed but

legally completely legally no illegal X

and I think that the legal justification

is just so

obvious you could get the legal cover

for it in 24 hours if you wanted it so

um am I the first person to say this out

loud I I feel like I am

right

well looks like that went over better

than I thought

so maybe it'll be a

thing all right uh AI is causing a

racism Gap according to axios or might

make one worse so researchers warned

that generative AI could add 43 billion

to America's already Stark racial wealth

Gap yeah because the thing I care about

in every goddamn topic is how it

how it's going to harm my

diversity how about I don't give a

I don't care at

all you know do you know do you know

what else increases um uh unequal

distribution of stuff

everything everything literally

everything do you know what else AI is

going to make

unfair it's going to suck to be over

50 because the over 50s are not going to

you know adopt it as easily as the young

people and the young people will

probably get all kinds of benefits

because they can figure out how to you

know work in that world and the older

people will try to take a pass and

they'll suffer for it how about how

about uh gender how about

gender so we watched the uh internet

Tech Boom turn out to be mostly a male

phenomenon meaning that most of the

employees at the high-end jobs were male

so that so the entire Tech you know

revolution has been

insanely bad for um you know your gap

between gender right didn't it make men

earn more because they were attracted to

stem jobs and women less so and the stem

jobs were great pay so the AI will just

be more of that bad for women bad for

seniors bad for everybody with low IQ at

least until there's Universal High

income I

guess it's going to be bad for all kinds

of people it'll just be good for some

small group of uh

asian-americans who figured out how to

capitalize on it it's going to be

indian-americans and asian-americans are

going to do great in the world of AI and

robots I think white Americans are not

going to be at the top of that

list but um yeah I really don't care if

it causes more of a gap because

everything does just literally

everything does everything

does um all

right now last night in my man cave uh

live stream I showed a

proof that we live in a

simulation now I'm going to ask the

people in the locals platform who saw

the man cave after you thought about it

for a day is it good enough for me to do

it here in front of the live in the

larger audience or would I embarrass

myself I'm just going to wait to see if

they if they think I'll embarrass

myself I got a lot of

nose not not good

enough not

convinced perfect I'm definitely going

to do

it all right here here's the proof we

live in a

simulation now proof of course is

hyperbole because it's you know

nothing's ever proved but uh my

hypothesis is that if you could prove

that history is made on demand you would

have proven that we're a simulation

all right so in other words if you could

prove

somehow that um if you start digging a

hole if you could prove somehow there's

no way to do it but if you could that

there's nothing under the ground until

you start digging and then the reality

is filled in while you dig if you could

prove that would you agree that we're

probably a

simulation does that does the first part

make sense if you could prove that we

create the the past only when we need

it

no you think that our reality would be

the way it looks if you could create the

past on demand if you could create the

past on demand definitely our current

view of reality is is debunked because

it would mean the evolution was fake I

mean everything basically the Big Bang

everything so I'm going to take that as

my starting point if you could prove

that history is created on demand as

opposed to as always was always there

we're simulation now you he the double

slid experiment and you've heard that in

in physics a

particle is sort of only probably

someplace until it's observed you all

know that right it's a weird part of

quantum physics that a particle doesn't

exist until it's either measured by a

machine like an instrument or some kind

of human or conscious

entity now did you ever seem weird to

you that a conscious observation can uh

change a particle into a specific thing

as opposed to a probability

wave but why could a machine do it do

you every think that was weird that you

could just use an instrument to measure

something and then the in strument can

collapse the probability without you

even being there well what that tells

you is is that reality is not

subjective because a machine could do

what a human did collapsing the reality

right so that's that's what that tells

you but here's what's wrong with that uh

with that experiment if you're familiar

with the double slit experiment um if

you want to find out more about this

just Google double slit experiment and

you'll go down a rabbit hole that make

you crazy

but let's say that there are two ways to

collapse probability into a real thing

one is a human and the other is

instruments here's the part that nobody

asked you or told you how do you know

the instrument did

it how do you

know if the instrument did what the

direct observation did how would you

know the instrument did

it well at some point the instrument has

to tell you right a human has to look at

the instrument and say that there it is

that instrument measured it and sure

enough it collapsed

it do you see what's wrong with that it

took me years to figure out what's wrong

with that but I I just figured it out

this week what's wrong with it is in

both cases it's a human observation

you're either directly looking at the

thing and then it collapses into a point

or you look at the machine that looked

at it and it's that point that it

collapses

it's only when you look at the

machine because the machine is just

another way of observing it so in other

words the machine never collapsed

anything what happened was when you

looked at the machine an entire history

that included the machine came into view

and had never existed before so until

you look at the machine's reading it

didn't read

anything you actually caus the past of

the machine read where the point was by

looking at the

machine now your other possibility is

that a machine can collapse

reality maybe but it doesn't make sense

in any way that we can understand

anything but what about if everything is

subjective if everything is

subjective that would make us probably a

simulation but it would also explain why

the chain of events from the instrument

to its reading a a whole chain of uh

actions could be created on demand in

the future and you can recreate the past

so two possibilities either it's all

subjective and always has been or a

machine can collapse reality and then

they're not going to tell you that well

it only does that if a human someday

looks at the

machine if you had a machine that

destroyed itself after measuring

could it do it would it collapse reality

if it destroyed itself after measuring

and nobody could tell the

reading yeah why just human because it's

all in our

imaginations that's why I believe a dog

could also collapse reality if that dog

then interacted with a human who

realized that the dog had collapsed the

reality but it but ultimately you have

to get to the

human so I believe that the double slit

experiment has always been

misinterpreted because humans have a uh

a

block and the block is that they don't

want to believe or scientists don't want

to believe that everything is subjective

and we're living in a in a simulation

since that is too hard to accept they

rather accept through cognitive

dissonance that the machine has

collapsed reality the same way a person

could when a better look at it would be

well not until a human looks at the

machine so it's all just a human so I

think the scientists have a

block that they can't see the obvious

that it's just people it's never been

machines now is any of that true I don't

know it was fun to think about I don't

have any particular uh scientific um

skill

so me being wrong about science would be

the most ordinary thing in the world all

I'm going to add is did you really

believe that machines could collapse

reality just just ask yourself was that

ever

believable it's weird enough that a

person can but at least you can

understand how a person could because it

that would support a subjective reality

simulation kind of world that all Mak

sense but how does the machine do it

it never did the most obvious answer is

it never did it was just scientists

misinterpreting what they were

saying all right and that ladies and

gentlemen concludes the best live stream

of the day

um and uh I'll certainly be here for the

man cave for the subscribers of locals

later

tonight and I hope you have a great day

hope you got all the presents you want

and you you finally away from your

family and you're happy again and I'll

talk to you tomorrow thanks for joining

YouTube see you

tomorrow
