View segment →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. Savor it. Go. Yeah, the savoring is good.
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
