Coming to you early like I normally do for the local subscribers. But I've got a big internet problem today and I can't run multiple screens. So today I'm using the Rumble Studio to come in on four different platforms. I'm coming in on Locals, Rumble, X, and YouTube at the same time. Now I've never…

Yeah, so there are... I see the YouTube comments. Oh look, there's Nick. I see Nick's comment too from Kim. All right, looks like…

View segment →Coming to you early like I normally do for the local subscribers. But I've got a big internet problem today and I can't run multiple screens. So today I'm using the Rumble Studio to come in on four different platforms. I'm coming in on Locals, Rumble, X, and YouTube at the same time.
Now I've never done this. The comments are going to be about 16 seconds delayed, and this will be the first time we've mixed the Locals comments with the other comments. But this might be a preview of things to come. So this is not the show. This is the pre-show, which normally only the local subscribers see.
If you'd like to see what happens five minutes before the actual show, you came to the right place. Because usually all I'm doing is adjusting my lighting and printing my notes. So if you want to hang out and chat with each other while I do that, that's what this is for.
I'm not going to do anything provocative because this is all the platforms. If this were just the subscribers on Locals you might get some extra stuff today, but we'll keep it generic and make everybody happy.
Now on this platform, unless there's an option which I don't see, I only see your oldest comments first. So if you want new ones, scroll to the bottom. Oh, it looks like they fixed that. They may have fixed the comment scroll since just two days ago when I mentioned it. Well that's pretty fast.
If you haven't, let my people go. I won't have time to check that. Yeah, don't expect that I'm going to be able to check any links that you send me during the chat. Yeah, no, no, I was wrong. The chat's broken. Or maybe if I keep my cursor... Oh, I just found out an interesting bug. I think if I float my cursor over the comments... Oh no, that's not it.
It looks like sometimes they scroll and sometimes they just don't. So it looks like a bug. All right, so the real show starts at the top of the hour. This is a special behind-the-scenes look at the pre-show where I adjust my lighting.
Right now I'm coming to you by 5G on my phone, which suggests I should probably plug it in. Yeah, I've got at least an hour on the phone. That should be fine. All right, let me turn off the alert. All right, we're in good shape. We've got a strong 5G signal, which is very rare.
Do any of you have this issue where when your regular internet goes out, your phone 5G goes out at the same time? Am I the only person who experiences that on a regular basis? Can't tell because I can't see any comments. Oh, I remember when comments were something that was useful.
So the Rumble people have a challenge, which is to fix the comments. Otherwise my business model falls apart because the live interaction is really the heart of the show, which we don't have in this model. In order for me to see a comment I have to physically reach up and scroll it every time.
So I can't do the thing anymore where I'm just doing the show, then I see a comment and I incorporate that. It just won't work in this model. So the technology isn't where we need it to be. But Rumble's working on it. They have all my feedback and they've been very responsive in the past, so I do expect them to take a good swing at fixing it. I just don't know if it's technically possible.
Can I see Locals comments? Yeah, I can see Crawley. I can see you asking the question. And they show up differently. Let's see if I can show you what it looks like. See if this works. Let's see, reverse this. God, this is annoying that everything's backwards. Why can't I do that right? Everything's like backwards twice.
So why can't I do this? This is weird. I have to hold it up to the opposite of where it is. Okay, oh this is so hard. Like you have to think backwards twice or something in order to line this up. Anyway, so you see that the comments do not scroll, which makes them worthless to me.
I don't know if they scroll where you are, but I can see each of them with an icon that says it's coming from Locals. So I can see Em and Dean and Thirston and Crawley and Upy Boy. But on Rumble I can see Roy. Those are the only comments.
I think we may be not live anywhere but Locals and Rumble. Oh, actually it looks like I don't have any comments. I can't even tell if I'm actually live to the other platforms. Oh, there it is. There we go. Yeah, so there are... I see the YouTube comments. Oh look, there's Nick. I see Nick's comment too from Kim.
All right, looks like all the comments are here. It's working on Rumble. Good deal. How's our timing? Oh, it's after one. We're after the top of the hour. Well, you're going to watch me printing my notes. I know that's exciting. But you're going to see how this show is actually produced.
Soon as those notes are done, we're going to put on the show of shows, 5G style. I've got two strong bars of 5G and so far we're streaming good. You've got a pop-out chat on Rumble. That's nice. I'm live.
All right, let me grab my notes. Let's do this right, shall we?
Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. That's called Coffee with Scott Adams. Don't know what's going to happen today. We're using the Rumble platform for all four platforms: YouTube and Rumble and the X platform and local subscribers, my special favorites.
And if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand, hey Paul, all you need is a mug or a glass or a tankard, a canteen, a thermos, a flask, a vessel of any kind, and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens right now.
Oh, that was good. Sometimes I have to pretend the coffee tastes delicious, but today absolutely delicious.
All right, look at all those comments. It's not frozen on my side. Everything's looking good here. Oh, comments are scrolling too. Look at that. Look at that. All working good, or working well as you'd like to say.
All right, yes. Locals is not getting rid of comments. They will just move to the Rumble Studio so your comments will all be here. And then they're working on the technology to get them to be a little faster if that's possible. Might not be possible, but I think there's a 16-second delay on the stream anyway.
Let's jump right into it. The fake science. I like to start with fake science. NBC News reports there's a study that says you might be able to slow your biological aging by eating less. How many times have you heard this story? I feel like this is the millionth study that showed us. Maybe for the last 30 years, 40 years, haven't we been hearing the same study just repeated every year for 40 years? I'm not alone in that, right?
But here's what's left out, and why I consider this fake science. Fake science. It's because the thing that they say they're measuring is that you eat fewer calories. So they have a control group that eats what they want, I guess, and another group that has limited calories. And then they measure their biomarkers and they find out that the people who ate less food have better biomarkers.
Now there's an obvious point to this, which is obesity is not good for you. But if you're doing a short-term study it seems weird that you'd see a big difference in the short term. But here's what's left out. I'm pretty sure that our food supply is largely poison. Meaning that the more food you eat, it's not just more calories. It's more poison. It's more additives. It's more pesticides. It's more everything.
So they did a test to see if eating fewer calories made you healthier. But they never tested to see if eating less poison makes you healthier. Don't you think if you were eating at McDonald's and you just did less of it, it's not just the calories that you got less of? You got less of all the stuff you didn't want in your body. Of course it makes you healthier. Of course it does.
So that's weird science. And there's not even a mention of the fact that the food itself might be bad for you.
All right, here's more of fake science. I guess the Biden administration is trying to come up with a new climate forecast model that would take into account what they want to do in terms of reducing aircraft contribution to CO2. So they're trying to figure out how to model just what would be different if they get a greener type of jet fuel.
So here's something that's embedded in the story that if you didn't notice it you wouldn't know that it debunked all models. Within the story saying how they're going to create a model is a paragraph that debunks all models. They don't call it out that way. You just have to notice it.
All right, here's that paragraph. It says the rumor has it that those involved with the modeling process can't find common ground regarding the actual impact of corn usage in the synthesis. Some believe that it should be weighted with a higher penalty since carbon generation occurs during the harvesting phase. The ethanol industry wants to see its carbon impact as low as possible in order to blah blah blah.
All right, did you catch it? Yeah, in that was the debunking of all climate models. How many of you saw it?
All right, here's what you should say. The climate models are completely dependent on the assumptions. The model is not even important. The assumptions they make about how important it is to, let's say just using their example, to consider or not consider the time of the season when you're picking the corn or something like that. So you could simply make an assumption that would completely change the outcome.
Now is this a special case? Is this the one time somebody built a projection model in which the assumptions really drove the output? No, it's the only way it can be. There's no other way it can be. In the real world the assumptions that the study people put into it determines the output. That's the opposite of science. It's the opposite. You can't be more opposite than the people sitting in a room debating what assumption should be in your model. That's the least scientific thing anybody ever did ever.
But we still have this little fiction like the models can predict the future. Nope. Never have, never will.
There's a company that I still have a subscription to called iStock, where you get stock photos that you could use with a license approval. And every now and then I'll use one of those for my posting on social media. So I wanted to look for a picture of a dumb person. You know, would be a good picture for it. So I went there and I searched within iStock, and this is a Getty company, they own it.
And I looked for... Do you think there were any issues with the diversity, the way they handled the diversity? So it was a page of morons, but they weren't all the same. Now I hope this doesn't kick me off here, but let me show you some of the pictures. See if this works.
First of all it was almost all white people, but there was one black person on the page. And you think to yourself, how'd they handle that? How are they going to have diversity in a result for dumb people? It's going to be pretty hard. But here's how they handled it. There were a bunch of white people shown, and I think a few Asians. And here's a white person here. He is drinking, has crazy eyes, and he's got weird teeth and everything. He's like, ah, not doing too well.
Now this was typical. There were lots of white people looking like morons. But then here's the sensitive part. They also have a picture of a black man that comes up in the search. Now how do you think they handled that? So here's their image of a black person, which is funny because he looks more like a scientist or a lawyer. He's got a smart expression, well dressed. The difference is hilarious. I mean this, if I had to guess, I would say almost certainly college educated, looks like he's doing pretty well, good looking, smart looking guy, smart eyes, smart face.
All right, well just pointing that out. I don't think iStock images is going to last more than a year because AI should pretty much put them out of business. And maybe it should.
There's a school district in Aurora, Colorado. The superintendent says that you may not implement or adopt any program that does not prioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now what does prioritize mean in your worldview? So what does it mean to prioritize DEI? Wouldn't that mean that you sort of had to put it in front of, I don't know, everything? That's what it means, right? If you prioritize it, you push it above other considerations.
What would be the other considerations? Good ideas, things that work, things that are good for the world. As soon as you throw in "prioritize," it's just racist. There's no other way to look at it. There's no second way to look at this. If you say in writing it's our policy to prioritize it, there isn't any way to prioritize it unless you give up other things. So what are you giving up? They should tell us what they're de-emphasizing. What are you giving up?
All right, so as I told you, our food supply is very dangerous but getting more dangerous every day. Apparently there was a food airdrop in Gaza in which one of the parachutes didn't open and five people were killed by falling food. Big pallet of food. Now I don't know how you get five people with one pallet of food. That's like the worst luck I've ever seen in my life.
Not only, as Glenn Greenwald points out, not only did these poor people survive the bombing and the famine and God knows what disease and deprivation they're going through, and then they get killed with a pallet of food. Now that's just about the worst thing I've ever heard. But it certainly gives you this weird feeling that if your time has come, your time has come. You ever feel that?
This is like the reverse of that joke, you know the old joke I tell too many times about the flood. And God says I sent you a car, I sent you a boat, I sent you a helicopter. You just didn't take them. But it's like the bad evil backwards version of that. It's like God, I tried to kill you with the bombs, I tried to kill you with the starvation, and none of that worked. So I'm just going to drop a pallet of food right on your heads and kill you all.
So yes, it's just the worst thing I've ever heard in my life in terms of bad luck. Geez. So I do believe that you can hold two thoughts in your head, which is that what's happening over there is horrific on a scale that we hope we would never see again in modern society. At the same time, what else are you going to do? If somebody had a better idea I'm sure they would have suggested it.
There's a study that says that a lot of Americans can't buy cars. So you need an annual income of $100,000 to purchase a car. I assume that means a new car. So on average if you don't make $100,000 you can't get a car. But the average American household is closer to $80,000. So buying a car in today's world, pretty hard.
What they don't say is that even if you have money you can't buy a car. It's almost impossible to buy a car. Has anybody tried to buy a car? I won't bore you with my whole story but let me tell you my quick version of buying a Toyota truck.
So I wanted to get a Tacoma. So I go to the Toyota dealer. I look around. I think oh they must have closed this dealership. There's no trucks, no Toyotas. But I go inside because they're actually open. And it turns out they don't have almost any inventory. And the reason they don't have any inventory is that it gets purchased before it arrives at the lot. They can't make them fast enough.
So if you want to buy a truck you could buy one that's in the pipeline. But the pipeline ones are all random combinations of features and colors that are very unlikely to be what you want. But if you're lucky and you can get one in the pipeline before all the other people who were also looking at the same pipeline before they grab it, well then and only then you can have a Toyota truck. Literally you can't buy one.
So I tell the salesperson, well if you get a truck that meets these criteria, which weren't that restrictive, give me a call and I'll come right down and buy it. No call. Same when I tried to buy a Ford truck a while ago. They didn't have any I could drive. And I've never owned a truck. I've driven them but I've never owned a truck. And I thought I'm not going to buy a truck I can't even drive one. That's in the same general idea.
So I couldn't buy a truck and I couldn't buy a Ford. I couldn't buy a Toyota. And so there we are anyway. I can see why. And then I thought about the process of negotiating for a car and I thought I would almost rather do anything than spend a whole day negotiating.
Has anybody brought their laptop to a car purchase? Because remember they used to use the trick where they'd say I'll talk to my boss and they'd be gone for an hour. And what they're really trying to do is make you stay there as long as possible so you're too invested in the process to ever say no. That's why they do it. So they're trying to wear you down physically. They're trying to physically exhaust you.
So has anybody brought their laptop and said hey, take your time, I got a lot of work to do, and then just start happily doing your work on your laptop while they think they're sweating you out but you're actually getting a lot of work done? Hey I think I'll send some posts. If you haven't done that yet you need to do it because it ruins their whole game.
Because you know they're back there peeking out to see if you're still there so they can run out. In case you leave they'll run out and grab you and bring you back. So you know they're watching. So just make it look like you're really having a good time on your laptop getting a lot of work done.
Anyway, we hear that the X platform is going to compete with YouTube. So they're going to have a big video platform that will play on some smart TVs. That's the big announcement. And it will look very much like the YouTube interface. So Musk is going big for video, which is the smart play.
There's a little garage startup who has made what would be an $8,000 robot. And they 3D print the parts and they put little motors in it. I think it's called K-Scale Labs. And the funny part is that the founder of this little garage startup, as soon as I saw him talking I said my God that's Elon Musk too. He looks like Elon Musk. He looks like him and talks like him. And then I looked in the comments and somebody else said the same thing. Oh good, I'm not imagining it.
So yeah, there's somebody who reminds you of Elon Musk who just made an $8,000 robot that you could just have running around your house. Now I'm assuming you just load it with one of their AIs. But here's what I would like to suggest. If somebody could tell me who makes the best little motors for robots, because each of the arms and legs of the robot are going to have a number of motors and servos or whatever they're called to activate all the body.
Shouldn't we be investing in little motors that go into robots? Is there a company that owns that like NVIDIA owns the GPUs for AI? Doesn't it seem like that's the shovel investment for the gold rush? Because the robots are going to use a lot of little motors.
coming to you early like I normally do for the local subscribers but I've got a big internet problem today and I can't run multiple screens so today I'm on uh using the uh Rumble Studio to come into four different platforms so I'm coming into locals Rumble um X and You.
Tube at the same time now I've never done this and the comments are going to be about 16 seconds delayed and this will be the first time we've mixed the locals comments with the other comments um but this might be a preview of things to come so this is not the show this is the pre-show which normally only the local subscribers see but if you'd like to see what happens five minutes before the actual show I came to the right place because usually all I'm doing is adjusting my lighting and printing my notes so if you want to hang out and chat with each other while I do that that's what this is for uh I'm not going to do anything provocative because this is all the platforms if this were just the subscribers and locals you might get some extra stuff today but we'll keep it generic make everybody happy now on this platform um unless this is see unless there's an option which I don't see uh I only see your oldest comments first so your new scroll to the bottom oh it looks like they fixed that I'll be downn that they may have fixed the comment scroll since just two days ago when I mentioned it well that's pretty fast uh if you haven't let my people go I won't have time to check that yeah don't expect that I'm going to be able to check any links that you send me during the chat that's yeah no no I was wrong the chat's broken or maybe oh maybe if I keep my cursor oh I just found out a interesting bug I think I think if I float my cursor over the comments oh no that's not it it looks like there's some um sometimes they scroll and sometimes they just don't so it looks like a bug all right so the real show starts uh at the top of the hour this is a special behind the scenes look at the pre-show where I adjust my lighting right now I'm coming to you by 5G on my phone which suggests I should probably plug it in yeah I've got at least an hour on the phone that should be fine all right let me turn off the alert all right we're in good shape we got a strong 5G signal which is very rare do any of you have this issue where when you're regular internet goes out your um phone 5G goes out at the same time am might the only person who experiences that on a regular basis can't tell because I can't see any comments oh I remember when comments were something that was useful so the rumble people have a challenge which is to fix the comments otherwise my business model falls apart because the the live interaction is really the heart of the show which we don't have in this model so in order for me to see a comment I have to physically reach up and scroll it every time so I I can't do the thing anymore where I'm just doing the show then I see a comment and I you know incorporate that it just won't work in this model so the technology isn't where we need it to be but uh bubles working on it they have they have all my feedback and they've been very responsive in the past so I do expect them to take a good swing at fixing it I just don't know if it's technically possible can I see locals comments uh yeah I can see Crawley I can see you asking the question um and they are they're they show up differently let's see if I can show you what it looks like see if this works let's see reverse this and then can you God this is annoying that everything's backwards why can't I do that right everything's like backwards twice so oh why can't I do this this is weird I have to hold it up to the opposite of where it is where I it okay oh this is so hard like you have to think backwards twice or something in order to line this up anyway so you see that the comments do not scroll which makes them worthless to me I don't know if they scroll where you are but I can see each of them with an icon that says it's coming from locals so I can say em and Dean and thirston and Crawley and upy boy but on Rumble I can see roie those the only comments I think we may be not live anywhere but locals and Rumble oh actually I don't it looks like I don't have any comments I can't even tell if I'm actually I can't tell if I'm live to the other platforms oh there it is there we go yeah so there are I see the You.
Tube comments oh look there's next I see next comment too from Kim all right looks like all the comments are here it's working on Rumble good deal how's our timing oh it's after 1:00 we after the top of the hour well you're going to watch me printting my notes I know that's exciting but but you're going to see how this show is actually produced soon as those notes are done we're going to put on the show of shows 5G style I got two strong bars of 5G and so far we're streaming good you've got a pop out chat on Rumble that's nice I'm live all right let me grab my notes let's do this right shall we good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization that's called coffee with scottt Adams don't know what's going to happen today we're using the rumble platform for all four platforms uh You.
Tube and Rumble and xplatform and local subscribers my special favorites and if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand hey Paul all you need is a CER muger glass of tanker CH a canteen sugar flask a vessel of any and fill it with your favorite liquid I like coffee hadn't joined me now for the unparalleled pleasure the dop me of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous siping it happens right now oh that was good sometimes I have to pretend the coffee tastes delicious but today absolutely delicious all right look at all those comments um it's not frozen on my side everything's looking good here oh comments are scrolling too look at that look at that all working good or working well as you'd like to say all right yes uh we're not locals is not getting rid of comments they we'll just move to the rumble studio so your comments will all be here and then uh they're working on the technology to get them to be a little faster if that's possible might not be possible but I think there's a 68c delay on the C anyway let's jump right into it the fake science I like to start with fake science NBC news reports there a study that says you might be able to slow your biological aging by eating less how many times have you heard this story I feel like this is the millionth study that showed us maybe for the last 30 years 40 years haven't we been hearing the same study just repeated every year for 40 years I'm not alone in that right uh but here's what's left out and why I consider this fake science fake science it's because the thing that they say they're measuring is that you eat fewer calories so they have a control group that eats what they want I guess and another group that has limited calories and then they measure their biomarkers and they find out that the people who ate less food have better biomarkers now there's an obvious point to this which is obesity is not good for you but if you're doing a short-term study it seems weird that you know that that you'd see a big difference in the short term but here's what's left out I'm pretty sure that our food supply is largely poison meaning that the more food you eat it's not just more calories it's more poison it's more additives it's more pesticides it's more everything so they did a they did a test to see if eating fewer calories made you healthy healthier but they never tested to see if eating less poison makes you uh healthier don't you think if you were eating at Mc.
Donald's and you just did less of it it's not just the calories that you got less of you got less of all the stuff you didn't want in your body of course it makes you healthier of course it does so that's a weird science and that there's not even a mention to the fact that the food itself might be bad for you all right here's more of fake science I guess the uh Biden Administration is trying to come up with a new climate forecast model that would take into account what they want to do in terms of uh um reducing a aircraft contribution to CO2 so they're trying to figure out how to model just what would be different if they get a Greener type of um jet fuel so here's something that's embedded in the story that if you didn't notice it you wouldn't know that it debunked all models So within

determines the output that's the opposite of science it's the opposite you can't be more opposite than the people sitting in a room debating what assumption should be in your model that's the that's the least scientific thing anybody ever did ever but we still we still have this little fiction like the models can predict predict the future nope never have never will um there's a company that I still have a subscription to called iock where you get stock photos that you could use you know with a a license approval and every now and then I'll use one of those for my posting on social media so I wanted to look for a picture of a because I was going to do a post in which a dumb person you know would be a good picture for it so I went there and I searched within iock and this is a Getty Getty company they own it um and I looked for um do you think there were any issues with the diversity the way they handled the diversity so it was a page of morons and uh but they weren't all the same now I hope this doesn't kick me off here but uh let me show you some uh some of the pictures see if this works um first of all it was almost all white people but there was one black person on the page and you think to yourself how'd they handle that you how are they going to have diversity in a uh result it's going to be pretty hard but here's how they handled it uh there were a bunch of white people shown and I think a few Asians and here's a white person here he is you know drinking has crazy eyes and he's got weird teeth and everything he's like ah not doing too well now this was typical there were lots of white people looking like morons but then here's the here's the sensitive part they also have a picture of a black man that comes up in the search now how do how do you think they handle that so here's here's their image of a black which is funny because he looks more like a scientist or a lawyer he's got a smart expression well dressed the the difference is is hilarious I mean this if I had to guess I would say almost certainly college educated looks like he's doing pretty well goodlook smart looking guy Smart Eyes smart face all right well just pointing that out um I don't think I stock images is going to last more than a year because AI should pretty pretty much put them out of business and maybe it should there's a a school district in Aurora the state where Aurora is I don't know where's Aurora some somewhere in the middle west somewhere Aurora anyway somewhere in the United States um the superintendent says uh that you may not uh this is actually in a document uh you may not implement or adopt any program that does not prioritize diversity equity and inclusion now what does prioritize mean in your in your worldview doesn't oh Colorado so Aurora Colorado thank you so what does it mean to prioritize Dei wouldn't that mean that you sort of had to put it in front of oh I don't know everything that's what it means right if you prioritize it you push it above other considerations what would be the other considerations good ideas things that work things that are good for the world as soon as you throw in prioritize it's just racist there's no other way to look at it there there's no second way to look at this if you say if you say in writing it's our policy to prioritize it there isn't any way to prioritize it unless you give up other things so what are you giving up they should tell us what they're deemphasizing what what are you giving up all right uh so as I told you our food supply is very dangerous but getting more dangerous every day apparently there was a a food airdrop in Gaza in which one of the parachutes didn't open and five people were killed by Falling food big pallet of food now I don't know how you get five people with one pallet of food that's like the worst luck I've ever seen in my life not only as Glen Greenwald points out not only did these poor people survive the bombing and the famine and God knows what disease and deprivation they're going through and then they get killed with a pallet of food now that's just about the worst thing I've ever heard but but it certainly gives you this weird feeling that if your time has come your time has come you ever you ever feel that this is like the reverse of that joke you know you know the old joke I tell too many times about the flood and you know God says I sent you a car I sent you a boat I sent you a helicopter you know you just didn't take them but it's like the the Bad Evil backwards version of that it's like you know God I tried to kill you with the bombs I tried to kill you with the starvation and none of that worked so I'm just to drop a pal of food right on your heads and kill you all so yes it's just the worst thing I've ever heard in my life in terms of bad luck geez so I I do believe that you can hold two thoughts in your head which is that what's happening over there is horrific on a scale that we hope we would never see again in in modern society at the same time what else you going to do somebody had a better idea I'm sure they would have suggested it um there's a study that says that uh a lot of Americans can't buy cars so you need an annual income of $100,000 to purchase a car I assume that means a new car so on average if you don't make $100,000 can't get a car but most uh the average American household is closer to 8,000 so buying a car in today's world pretty hard um what they don't say is that even if you have money you can't buy a car it's almost impossible to buy a car has anybody tried to buy a car I won't I won't bore you with my whole story but let me tell you my there's a quick version of buying a Toyota truck so I wanted to get a Tacoma so I got to the Toyota dealer I look around I think oh they must have closed this dealership there's no trucks no Toyotas but I go inside because they're actually open and it turns out they don't have almost any inventory and the reason they don't have any inventory is that it gets purchased before it arrives at the lot they can't make them fast enough so here's so if you want to buy a truck you could buy one that's in the pipeline but the pipeline ones are all random combinations of features and colors that are very unlikely to be what you want but if you're lucky and you can get one in the pipeline before all the other people who were also looking at the same pipeline before they grab it well then and only then you can have a Toyota truck literally you can't buy one so I so I tell the the salesperson well if you get a truck that meets you know these criteria which weren't that restrictive you know give me a call and I'll come right down and buy it no call say when I tried to buy a a Ford truck a while ago um you know they didn't have any I could drive and I've never owned a truck I've driven them but I've never owned a truck and I thought I'm not going to buy a truck I can't even drive one that's in the same general idea so I couldn't buy a truck and I couldn't buy a a Ford I couldn't buy a Toyota and so there we are anyway I can see why um and then I thought about the process of negotiating for a car and I thought I would almost rather do anything than spend a whole day negotiating has anybody brought their laptop to a a car purchase because remember they used to use the trick where they'd say I'll talk to my boss and they be gone for an hour and what they're really trying to do is make you stay there as long as possible so you're too invested in the process to ever say no that that's why they do it so they're trying to wear you down physically they're trying to physically exhaust you so has anybody brought their laptop and say hey take your time I got a lot of work to do and then just start happily doing your work on your laptop while they while they they think they're sweating you out but you're actually getting a lot of work done hey I think I'll send some posts if you haven't done that yet you need to do it because it ruins their whole game because you know they're they're back there peeking out to see if you're still there so they can run out in case you leave they'll they'll run out and grab you and bring you back so you know they're watching so just make it look like you're really having a good time on your laptop getting a lot of work done anyway there's a uh oh we we hear that uh the xplatform is going to compete with You.
Tube so they're going to have a big video platform that it'll play on some smart TVs that's the big announcement and it will look very much like the You.
Tube uh interface so musk is going big for a video which is the Smart play there's a little garage startup who was made a what would be an $88,000 robot and it it's they print the parts and they put little Motors in it who's it called I think it's a k scale labs and the funny part is that the the founder of this little garage startup uh as soon as I saw him talking I said my God that's Elon mus too he looks like Elon Musk he looks like him and talks like him and then I looked in the comments and somebody else said the same thing I oh good I'm not imagining it so yeah there's somebody who reminds you of Elon Musk who just made an $8,000 robot that you could just have running around your house now I'm assuming you just load it with I know one of their AIS um but here's what I would like to suggest if somebody could tell me who makes the best little motors for robots because each of the you know the arms and legs of the robot are going to have a number of motors and servos or whatever they're called to activate all the body shouldn't we be investing in Little Motors that go into robots is there a company that owns that like in owns the gips for AI do doesn't it seem like that's the the shovel investment for the the gold rush because the robots are going to use a lot of little Motors
coming to you early like I normally do
for the local subscribers but I've got a
big internet problem today and I can't
run multiple screens so today I'm on
uh using the uh Rumble Studio to come
into four different platforms so I'm
coming into
locals
Rumble um X and YouTube at the same time
now I've never done this and the
comments are going to be about 16
seconds delayed and this will be the
first time we've mixed the locals
comments with the other
comments um but this might be a preview
of things to come so this is not the
show this is the pre-show which normally
only the local subscribers see but if
you'd like to see what happens five
minutes before the actual show I came to
the right place because usually all I'm
doing is adjusting my lighting and
printing my notes so if you want to hang
out and chat with each other while I do
that that's what this is for uh I'm not
going to do anything
provocative because this is all the
platforms if this were just the
subscribers and locals you might get
some extra stuff today but we'll keep it
generic make everybody
happy now on this platform um unless
this
is see unless there's an option which I
don't see uh I only see your oldest
comments
first so your new scroll to the
bottom oh it looks like they fixed that
I'll be
downn that they may have fixed the
comment scroll since just two days ago
when I mentioned it well that's pretty
fast uh if you
haven't let my people go I won't have
time to check that
yeah don't expect that I'm going to be
able to check any links that you send me
during the chat
that's yeah no no I was wrong the chat's
broken or maybe oh maybe if I keep my
cursor
oh I just found out a interesting bug I
think I think if I float my cursor over
the comments oh no that's not it it
looks like there's some um sometimes
they scroll and sometimes they just
don't so it looks like a
bug all
right so the real show starts uh at the
top of the
hour this is a special behind the
scenes look at the
pre-show where I adjust my
lighting right now I'm coming to you by
5G on my
phone which suggests I should probably
plug it
in
[Music]
yeah I've got at least an hour on the
phone that should be
fine all right let me turn off the
alert all right we're in good shape we
got a strong 5G signal which is very
rare do any of you have this issue where
when you're regular internet goes
out your um phone 5G goes out at the
same time am might the only person who
experiences that on a regular
basis can't tell because I can't see any
comments oh I remember when comments
were something that was
useful so the rumble people have a
challenge which is to fix the comments
otherwise my business model falls apart
because the the live interaction is
really the heart of the
show which we don't have in this
model
so in order for me to see a comment I
have to physically reach up and scroll
it every
time so I I can't do the thing anymore
where I'm just doing the show then I see
a comment and I you know incorporate
that it just won't work in this model so
the technology isn't where we need it to
be but uh bubles working on it they have
they have all my
feedback and they've been very
responsive in the past so I do expect
them to take a good swing at fixing it I
just don't know if it's technically
possible can I see locals comments uh
yeah I can see Crawley I can see you
asking the question um and they are
they're they show up
differently let's see if I can show you
what it looks
like see if this works
let's see reverse
this and
then can you God this is annoying that
everything's
backwards why can't I do
that right everything's like backwards
twice
so oh why can't I do this this is weird
I have to hold it up to the opposite of
where it is where I
it
okay oh this is so
hard like you have to think backwards
twice or something in order to line this
up anyway so you see that the comments
do not scroll which makes them worthless
to me I don't know if they scroll where
you are but I can see each of them with
an icon that says it's coming from
locals so I can say em and Dean and
thirston and Crawley and upy boy but on
Rumble I can see
roie those the only comments I think we
may
be not live anywhere but
locals and Rumble oh actually I
don't it looks like I don't have any
comments I can't even tell if I'm
actually I can't tell if I'm live to the
other
platforms oh there it
is there we
go yeah so there are I see the YouTube
comments oh look there's
next I see next comment too from Kim all
right looks like all the comments are
here it's working on
Rumble good deal how's our
timing oh it's after 1:00 we after the
top of the hour well you're going to
watch me printting my
notes I know that's
exciting but but you're going to
see how this show is actually
produced soon as those notes are done
we're going to put on the show of shows
5G style I got two strong bars of 5G and
so far we're streaming
good you've got a pop out chat on Rumble
that's
nice I'm live all right let me grab my
notes
let's do this right shall
[Music]
we good morning everybody and welcome to
the highlight of human civilization
that's called coffee with scottt Adams
don't know what's going to happen today
we're using the rumble platform for all
four platforms uh YouTube and Rumble and
xplatform and local subscribers my
special favorites and if you'd like to
take this experience up to levels that
nobody can even understand hey Paul all
you need is a CER muger glass of tanker
CH a canteen sugar flask a vessel of any
and fill it with your favorite liquid I
like coffee hadn't joined me now for the
unparalleled pleasure the dop me of the
day thing makes everything better it's
called the simultaneous siping it
happens right
now oh that was
good sometimes I have to pretend the
coffee tastes delicious but today
absolutely
delicious all right look at all those
comments um it's not frozen on my side
everything's looking good here
oh comments are scrolling too look at
that look at that all working
good or working well as you'd like to
say all right yes uh we're not locals is
not getting rid of comments they we'll
just move to the rumble studio so your
comments will all be here and then uh
they're working on the technology to get
them to be a little faster if that's
possible might not be possible but I
think there's a 68c delay on the C
anyway let's jump right into it the fake
science I like to start with fake
science NBC news reports there a study
that says you might be able to slow your
biological aging by eating
less how many times have you heard this
story I feel like this is the millionth
study that showed us maybe for the last
30 years 40 years haven't we been
hearing the same study just repeated
every year for 40 years I'm not alone in
that
right uh but here's what's left out and
why I consider this fake science fake
science it's because the thing that they
say they're measuring is that you eat
fewer
calories so they have a control group
that eats what they want I guess and
another group that has limited calories
and then they measure their biomarkers
and they find out that the people who
ate less food
have better biomarkers now there's an
obvious point to this which is obesity
is not good for you but if you're doing
a short-term study it seems weird that
you know that that you'd see a big
difference in the short term but here's
what's left
out I'm pretty sure that our food supply
is largely
poison meaning that the more food you
eat it's not just more calories it's
more poison
it's more additives it's more pesticides
it's more everything so they did a they
did a test to see if eating fewer
calories made you healthy healthier but
they never tested to see if eating less
poison makes you uh healthier don't you
think if you were eating at McDonald's
and you just did less of it it's not
just the calories that you got less of
you got less of all the stuff you didn't
want in your body of course it makes you
healthier of course it does so that's a
weird science and that there's not even
a mention to the fact that the food
itself might be bad for
you all right here's more of fake
science I guess the uh Biden
Administration is trying to come up with
a new climate forecast model that would
take into account what they want to do
in terms of uh um reducing a
aircraft contribution to CO2 so they're
trying to figure out how to model just
what would be different if they get a
Greener type of um jet
fuel so here's something that's embedded
in the
story that if you didn't notice it you
wouldn't know that it debunked all
models So within the story saying how
they're going to create a model is a
paragraph that debunks all models they
don't cow it out that way you just have
to notice it all right here's that
paragraph um it says the rumor has it
that those involved with the modeling
process can't find Common Ground
regarding the actual impact of corn
usage in the
synthesis some believe that it should be
weighted with a higher penalty since
carbon generation occurs during the
harvesting
phase the ethanol industry wants to to
see as carbon impact as low as possible
in order to blah blah blah all right did
you did you catch
it yeah in that was the debunking of all
climate models how many of you how many
of you saw
it all right here's what you should
say the climate models are completely
dependent on the
assumptions the model is not even
important the Assumption they make about
how important it is to let's say just
using their example um to consider or
not consider I don't know the Time of
the Season when you're picking the corn
or something like that so so you could
simply make an assumption that would
completely change the outcome now is
this a special case is this the one time
somebody built a projection model in
which the assumptions really drove the
output no it's the only way it can be
there's no other way it can be in the
real world world the assumptions that
the PE the study people put into it
determines the output that's the
opposite of
science it's the
opposite you can't be more opposite than
the people sitting in a room debating
what assumption should be in your model
that's the that's the least scientific
thing anybody ever did
ever but we still we still have this
little fiction like the models can
predict predict the
future nope never have never
will um there's a company that I still
have a subscription to called iock where
you get stock photos that you could use
you know with a a license approval and
every now and then I'll use one of those
for my posting on social media so I
wanted to look for a picture of a
because I was going to do a post
in which a dumb person you know would be
a good picture for it so I went there
and I searched within iock and this is a
Getty Getty company they own it um and I
looked for
um do you think there were any
issues
with the
diversity the way they handled the
diversity so it was a page of
morons and uh but they weren't all the
same now I hope this doesn't kick me off
here but
uh let me show you some uh some of the
pictures see if this
works um first of all it was almost all
white people but there was one black
person on the page and you think to
yourself how'd they handle
that you how are they going to have
diversity in a uh
result it's going to be pretty hard but
here's how they handled
it uh there were a bunch of white people
shown and I think a few Asians and
here's a white
person here he is you know drinking has
crazy eyes and he's got weird teeth and
everything he's like ah not doing too
well now this was typical there were
lots of white people looking like morons
but then here's the here's the sensitive
part they also have a picture of a black
man that comes up in the search
now how do how do you think they handle
that so here's here's their image of a
black
which is funny because he looks
more like a scientist or a
lawyer he's got a smart expression well
dressed the the difference is is
hilarious I mean this if I had to guess
I would say almost certainly college
educated looks like he's doing pretty
well goodlook smart looking guy Smart
Eyes smart
face all right well just pointing that
out um I don't think I stock images is
going to last more than a year because
AI should pretty pretty much put them
out of business and maybe it
should there's a a school district in
Aurora the state where Aurora is I don't
know where's
Aurora some somewhere in the middle west
somewhere Aurora anyway somewhere in the
United States um the superintendent says
uh that you may
not uh this is actually in a document uh
you may not implement or adopt any
program that does not prioritize
diversity equity and inclusion now what
does prioritize mean in your in your
worldview
doesn't oh Colorado so Aurora Colorado
thank you so what does it mean to
prioritize
Dei wouldn't that mean that you sort of
had to put it in front of oh I don't
know everything that's what it means
right if you prioritize it you push it
above other
considerations what would be the other
considerations good ideas things that
work things that are good for the
world as soon as you throw in
prioritize it's just
racist there's no other way to look at
it there there's no second way to look
at this if you say if you say in writing
it's our policy to prioritize it there
isn't any way to prioritize it unless
you give up other
things so what are you giving up they
should tell us what they're
deemphasizing
what what are you giving
up all
right
uh so as I told you our food supply is
very dangerous but getting more
dangerous every day apparently there was
a a food airdrop in Gaza in which one of
the parachutes didn't open and five
people were killed by Falling
food big pallet of food now I don't know
how you get five people with one pallet
of
food that's like the worst luck I've
ever seen in my life not only as Glen
Greenwald points out not only did these
poor people survive the bombing and the
famine and God knows what disease and
deprivation they're going through and
then they get killed with a pallet of
food
now that's just about the worst thing
I've ever
heard but but it certainly gives you
this weird feeling that if your time has
come your time has come you ever you
ever feel that this is like the reverse
of that joke you know you know the old
joke I tell too many times about the
flood and you know God says I sent you a
car I sent you a boat I sent you a
helicopter you know you just didn't take
them but it's like the the Bad Evil
backwards version of that it's like you
know God I tried to kill you with the
bombs I tried to kill you with the
starvation and none of that worked so
I'm just to drop a pal of food right on
your heads and kill you all so yes it's
just the worst thing I've ever heard in
my life in terms of bad luck
geez so I I do believe that you can hold
two thoughts in your head which is that
what's happening over there is horrific
on a scale that we hope we would never
see again in in modern society
at the same
time what else you going to do somebody
had a better idea I'm sure they would
have suggested
it
um there's a study that says that uh a
lot of Americans can't buy cars so you
need an annual income of $100,000 to
purchase a car I assume that means a new
car so on average if you don't make
$100,000 can't get a car but most uh the
average American household is closer to
8,000 so buying a
car in today's world pretty hard um what
they don't say is that even if you have
money you can't buy a
car it's almost impossible to buy a car
has anybody tried to buy a car I won't I
won't bore you with my whole
story but let me tell you my there's a
quick version of buying a Toyota truck
so I wanted to get a Tacoma so I got to
the Toyota dealer I look around I think
oh they must have closed this dealership
there's no trucks no Toyotas but I go
inside because they're actually open and
it turns out they don't have almost any
inventory and the reason they don't have
any inventory is that it gets purchased
before it arrives at the lot they can't
make them fast
enough so here's so if you want to buy a
truck you could buy one that's in the
pipeline but the pipeline ones are all
random combinations of features and
colors that are very unlikely to be what
you want but if you're lucky and you can
get one in the pipeline before all the
other people who were also looking at
the same pipeline before they grab it
well then and only then you can have a
Toyota
truck literally you can't buy one so I
so I tell the the salesperson well if
you get a truck that meets you know
these criteria which weren't that
restrictive you know give me a call and
I'll come right down and buy it no
call say when I tried to buy a a Ford
truck a while ago um you know they
didn't have any I could drive and I've
never owned a truck I've driven them but
I've never owned a truck and I thought
I'm not going to buy a truck I can't
even drive one that's in the same
general idea so I couldn't buy a truck
and I couldn't buy a a Ford I couldn't
buy a
Toyota
and so there we are
anyway I can see why um and then I
thought about the process of negotiating
for a car and I thought I would almost
rather do anything than spend a whole
day
negotiating has anybody brought their
laptop to a a car
purchase because remember they used to
use the trick where they'd say I'll talk
to my boss and they be gone for an hour
and what they're really trying to do is
make you stay there as long as possible
so you're too invested in the process to
ever say no that that's why they do it
so they're trying to wear you down
physically they're trying to physically
exhaust you so has anybody brought their
laptop and say hey take your time I got
a lot of work to do and then just start
happily doing your work on your laptop
while they while they they think they're
sweating you out but you're actually
getting a lot of work done hey I think
I'll send some posts if you haven't done
that yet you need to do
it because it ruins their whole game
because you know they're they're back
there peeking out to see if you're still
there so they can run out in case you
leave they'll they'll run out and grab
you and bring you back so you know
they're watching so just make it look
like you're really having a good time on
your
laptop getting a lot of work done anyway
there's a uh oh we we hear that uh the
xplatform is going to compete with
YouTube so they're going to have a big
video platform that it'll play on some
smart TVs that's the big announcement
and it will look very much like the
YouTube uh interface so musk is going
big for a video which is the Smart
play there's a little garage
startup who was made a what would be an
$88,000 robot and it it's they print the
parts and they put little Motors in it
who's it called I think it's a k scale
labs and the funny part is that the the
founder of this little garage
startup uh as soon as I saw him talking
I said my God that's Elon mus too he
looks like Elon Musk he looks like him
and talks like him and then I looked in
the comments and somebody else said the
same thing I oh good I'm not imagining
it so yeah there's somebody who reminds
you of Elon Musk who just made an $8,000
robot that you could just have running
around your house now I'm assuming you
just load it with I know one of their
AIS
um but here's what I would like to
suggest if somebody could tell me who
makes the best little motors for robots
because each of the you know the arms
and legs of the robot are going to have
a number of motors and servos or
whatever they're called to activate all
the
body shouldn't we be investing in Little
Motors that go into robots is there a
company that owns that like in owns the
gips for
AI do doesn't it seem like that's the
the shovel investment for the the gold
rush because the robots are going to use
a lot of little
Motors
