Good morning everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And I'm pretty sure there's never been a better day in your life. But suppose you wanted to take it up to new levels, levels that nobody had ever seen before. What would you do then?

Well, I have a suggestion. I say in a Biden whisper: all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, chalice, or stein, a canteen, jug, or flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now.

So no video. Some people are saying no video. You say, "Interesting, interesting." Because I can see myself. Audio is working. Video is working now. No video. Some say video's back. Video's back. All right, we're all good now, right? Everybody's happy? All right, good.

We're going to launch into the best show you've seen this morning. It involves a whiteboard. There will be a whiteboard. And let's just jump right into it.

One of the good things about doing the Dilbert comic on my own instead of having a publisher is that I can do it faster. And so this week squatters have moved into the cubicles in Dilbert's workplace. So Ted will be the first one who is replaced by a squatter. And the rules of the state: the boss has to give the salary and benefits from Ted to the squatters who took over his cubicle. And so it goes.

If you'd like to see that, you'd have to be a member of Locals, ScottAdams.locals.com, or subscribe to Dilbert Reborn on X.

Anyway, here's some good news. They're restarting a nuclear plant in Michigan. So the Biden administration — I will give them full credit for this. That allowed me to be nonpolitical for a moment. Biden administration putting a $1.5 billion loan to restart a Michigan nuclear power plant. Hello. Good job. Good job, government. I'm sure it could have been faster and better like everything in the world, but if you're moving in the right direction, I'm going to call it out. And yes, this is the right thing.

Would the Trump administration have done the same thing? Probably. Probably, because I think it's just time. And I would like to take another victory lap for those of us who worked so hard to move that battleship from saying that nuclear is bad to nuclear is the thing that will save the world from every energy problem we have.

So another call-out to Mark Schneider, Michael Shellenberger, Zion Lights, and everybody who helped on that. Do you realize that that was literally a grassroots change in civilization? That there were specific individuals, and there weren't that many of them, probably just a handful of people, who collectively used persuasion and a tremendous amount of energy. There may have been some financial backing from just citizens. And the entire thing changed.

I don't even know the last time I saw anybody negative on nuclear. Can you remember the last time you saw a negative nuclear story in the press or anything negative, except that they were closing? So everything's changed. And that was people. People did that. So that's kind of impressive.

Well, there's a new report that says that there's a compound found in cinnamon that might be the cure for baldness. They caution you, you can't get the benefit by eating a bunch of cinnamon. You wouldn't be able to eat enough cinnamon to do that. But yep, they're going to cure baldness.

You know, if they reverse aging and cure baldness and I can put a chip in my head to cure my eyesight and fix all of those other aches and pains, I think I'm going to live forever. Yeah, yeah, I'm going to have a full head of hair any minute now.

I think it's the weirdest thing that we're trying to cure hair now. I don't know if anybody can back me on this, but being bald is way better than you think. Do you know how much time I don't spend on my hair? Yeah, it's a really tough mental thing to get past because you say to yourself, "Ah, lost my hair. All my virility is gone. You know, women will not like me. I will be teased for my hair." But it turns out if you go to the gym and shave your damn head, you actually come out ahead. Just go to the gym, shave your stupid head, and never worry about combing your hair again. It's really kind of awesome.

You know, it's one of those things which you wouldn't ask for. Nobody would say, "Please make me bald." But it does turn out to be better than not bald. It literally is better, as long as you go to the gym. If you don't go to the gym, it's just adding one bad thing to another bad thing. But as long as you go to the gym, bald works perfectly.

All right. The Babylon Bee is reporting that Ron DeSantis has been kicked out of the Republican Party. Wow. What did he do? Kicked out of the Republican Party for accomplishing too many things. Accomplishing too many things. I think the last straw was when he immediately responded to the public outcry about squatting and immediately changed the law so squatters don't have rights in Florida. And everybody said that was a great job. But now you've got to go. I'm sorry, you've got to leave. You're making everybody look stupid by accomplishing things.

Oh, Ron DeSantis, you think you're going to be such a showoff by accomplishing things? Well, we've had enough of you, sir. Sit down. Go to the back. We've had enough of this accomplishing things that the public wants. We won't put up with this.

Well, Catherine Herridge, as you know, had some kind of weird exit from her job at CBS. But there is rumor that she's negotiating with X to be on the X platform. How awesome would that be? To me that would be probably the single most important thing that happened on X since the takeover. And I say that because she has such a good reputation as a solid investigative journalist that having her on the platform would be very different from adding Don Lemon to the platform, right? Because Catherine Herridge is not noted as anybody who's in the bag for one side. She seems to be straight down the middle. So that would be a huge boost to the credibility.

But I have a question. As Elon Musk has pointed out a few times, the traditional media is taking a big hit in viewership. It's down like 20% a year, while X clicks are up. But you've all noticed that a lot of the traffic, at least the political traffic and news-related traffic, it links back to the news. So what would happen if the traditional news just went away? I don't think it can because they need it for propaganda. But if X became the only good place to get news because it's the only place you trusted, would the others go away or would they just devolve more into the propagandists that they are? I think they would just devolve more. That's my guess.

But anyway, it's a big deal. I hope they make that deal.

So poor Steven Crowder. As you know, his divorce situation is public. And I'm not going to get into the who-did-what part. But there's a story that's bigger than the story. The story is about the people observing it. So there's a whole bunch of people observing a divorce in which the wife was not working and the husband had made a ton of money, especially recently. And they had to work out the financials because there's no prenup. And I guess it's not super friendly, or as friendly as it could be.

And so Tim Pool and others are watching in horror as they're learning for the first time that the husband has to pay his opponent to take his money. So the court will charge the husband, because he's the one with the assets, for the legal services of both the husband and the wife. I mean, the husband will get his own attorney, but the wife will get her attorney. She'll pick it on her own. And then she'll use the husband's money to extend the lawsuit because the lawyer for the wife is going to want to keep it going as long as possible because that person gets paid by the hour.

So the wife will hire the lawyer from hell and just torture the husband for extra money until he just psychologically gives up and writes a big check. And can't stand paying his opponent to negotiate. How long can you pay your opponent for negotiating with you? There's some point where you just can't do it. Like your brain just says, "I can't pay people to take my money." It's bad enough they're going to take my money, but I can't pay them to take my money. Like that's just too far.

Now anyway, the bigger story here is that the whole enterprise of marriage and divorce is a really poorly designed system. I'm not going to take sides in this specific divorce because we don't know enough and it's not fair and I wish them well and we don't know what's going on. And any judgment that we make about what they are doing or not doing is completely inappropriate.

But the larger story that people watching it are horrified at the system. They're not horrified at what the people are doing. People are kind of working the way you do within the system. It's all ugly anyway. That really needs to be fixed. But I don't have any ideas for doing it.

There's a weird and alarming trend of women in New York City doing selfie videos showing that they had just gotten punched randomly while walking down the street. Now I don't know yet if this is really a thing or were there just three examples of it and we think it's a thing. But there are — I just watched three videos of young women in New York who said they were just walking down the street and somebody walked up and punched them in the head. And now they've got a big black eye or bump on their head or something.

Now I don't know if that's really a trend or a weird little blip statistically. But I will tell you this: if you're having any conversation on the topic of young women being punched in the face randomly because they walked down the city street, that's when you should reexamine your strategy for success.

And I'll say it again that the Democrat strategy for success focuses on victimization and fixing it. And that's a female strategy. Because if a man complains about the little things that are holding him back, he looks pathetic. And it's not exactly the way men were evolved. We were evolved to run into an obstacle and then die trying to get rid of it. Pound on it with our head, stab it with a knife, shoot it with a gun, do something. But you don't stop because you had a complaint. You know, it doesn't matter if you've got a sniffle or a limp or massive discrimination. You don't stop. You just keep going.

Your terribly destructive worldview that victimization should be the primary motivator of everything — what would be, if you were designing the simulation, how would you wake up people? Well, I would have them being punched in the face on a regular basis. Which by the way I'm not in favor of, so don't want to act happy that anybody's getting punched in the face. That's all bad. We don't want anybody to get punched in the face.

But it's hard to avoid the fact that we live in a simulation and it's telling us, "Hey, hey, I have something to tell you about the quality of your political preferences." "Really, what is it?" Bam. "I'd like to have a second conversation because it looks like you didn't hear me the first time about what your political preferences would you like to talk about them?" "Well, all right." Bam.

Now how many times do you have to get punched in the face before you start saying, "Hey, maybe it's something I'm doing. I wonder if somehow my actions are in any way related to the outcomes."

Number one: get the hell out of any city where you're getting punched in the face walking down the streets. Get the hell out of there. That's number one.

Number two: examine your voting. Just give it a second look. I don't give a lot of advice, but I'm going to make an exception. If your political preferences cause you, a young woman, to be randomly punched in the face because you went outdoors, just take a pause. Just look at the big picture. Just ask yourself, is there anything we're doing that we could do differently that would make fewer people get punched in the face? Just rethink it.

There was a study in the UK on representation of black people in advertising. So over in the UK they did very well, very well in diversity. So in the advertisements they looked at over a two-month period and found that 37% of the advertisements featured black people in the advertisements. Very good job. How good? It's like the best job I've ever seen. Because the black percentage of people in the UK is 3%. So although black people in the UK are 3%, they are 37% of all advertisements.

And I think we could all say that's a huge success. You know, I feel that I've reached equity and equality already because once 3% of the population is 37% of the advertisements, I feel like everything's now equal. So well, not totally. I still have to pay a few trillion dollars in reparations, but I think that's just fair.

There is a new film that I guess is debuting only on X. Grace Price is the producer. And I didn't watch it, but the teaser seems to suggest that cancer in this country is maybe being triggered by our food supply. Do you think you would see that documentary in, let's say, one of the major networks? Probably not, because they take their advertising from the food industry. Now there might be some of that advertising on X, but probably not. So X, by being boycotted by advertisers at least to some degree, becomes maybe the only safe place you can put on a documentary that would challenge one of our biggest industries.

So I don't have an opinion about the accuracy of the documentary. And remember there's always a documentary effect. If you watch any documentary with any point of view, by the time you're done you will think it's all true. Doesn't mean it's true. It just means you saw one point of view for an hour. If you see one point of view for an hour, you're going to be persuaded because they're not going to show you any counter-evidence. So be careful about that.

But every part of my instinct does say that our food supply is poisoning us and causing cancer. And oh wow, she was an 18-year-old girl. Wow. So she says it's a story of how I, an 18-year-old girl, spent two years relentlessly searching for the true cause of cancer. And yeah, the true cause. So you know there's a genetic component to cancer of course, but then there's the lifestyle triggers. So she went looking for the triggers. That will be very interesting.

Greg Abbott issued an executive order that the Texas colleges and universities should look at all their rules and make sure that they're sort of anti-anti-Semitism. So they're trying to reduce anti-Semitism in the Texas universities. And so Greg Abbott did these executive orders. And people like Christopher Rufo, who says he's very committed to the fight against anti-Semitism as all of us should be, it says why are you calling out this one group?

Oh, that's a good question. Shouldn't the rules be looked at to make sure that 100% of all people are free from anti-everything? That in other words there's no group that gets discriminated against. Why do you need to call out one particular group? Is it because that one particular group is the subject to the most discrimination? No, that's not why. That is not why. Because if it was based on the most discrimination, they would have already done an executive order to stop discriminating against white people. White people and men have been by far the most obviously discriminated people, and Asians, Asian-Americans in colleges. So there are a couple of groups that are by far more discriminated.

But at the moment anti-Semitism is sort of at a crisis level. So I do understand why he felt the need to respond. But it is a very good question. Why do you ever need to pick out one group? If it's a general rule for your population, it should be don't do it to anybody. There's no exceptions. But I understand you were in a special time and place and Governor Abbott felt he needed to respond to that. I feel that was more a political response than a good government response.

Well, let me put it in another way. I don't think DeSantis would have done this. What do you think? So DeSantis is sort of setting the standard for what a good governor looks like. You know, if you want it and it's important and you know the science supports it, we're going to do it. He's a competitive bastard. Whatever nickname you give him, it's going to be like, "Hey, let's call him Small Penis Don." I swear to God his penis size would double in the next day. Yeah, he's just a winner. He's just a winner. That's just in case any anti-Trumpers wandered into the show. Just to really give them a heart attack and make them hate me extra.

Well, I was just saying on the man cave the other day and it's worth repeating how telephones have ruined movies. You've noticed that it's impossible to watch a movie. That all movies are just garbage now. Now some of it is the wokeness. We talked about that a lot. But here's another phenomenon.

I remember going to the movies, let's say in the 60s when I was a kid, in the 70s and the 80s, and it always felt the same. The movie would open with something terrible happening to somebody. Somebody would lose a job or their family would be slaughtered when they went out to the grocery store. Something horrible would happen. But then during the course of the movie the antagonist, the hero, would prevail and then you would get this relief at the end. It's like ah. It would be like a dopamine relief. So not only did you watch a good movie with lots of good scenes, but because they depressed your dopamine with the bad news at the front, when they released it you're like, "Oh yeah, pretty good."

So here's how phones ruined that. If I'm looking at Reels or TikToks, you know the little videos that the algorithm that I want, if you look at a 15-second reel and you compare the dopamine you get from 15 seconds to any 15 seconds of a three-hour movie, any 15 seconds, which would be a better dopamine hit? The reel. Not sometimes. Every time. Because there's no 15-second slice of any movie that gives you much of a dopamine hit. I mean most of it's just connecting tissue. It's like we need to know this to move it along. Here's another car chase. Yawn. Another guy tied to a chair to be tortured. Yawn. Another sex scene to show you that the characters really, really do love each other. Yawn. Fast forward.

So how in the world can a movie compete when every 15-second slice is inferior to every 15-second slice when I'm looking through my phone? Now worse than that, there's another bigger effect. I used to be able to easily handle watching somebody's family get slaughtered in the first part of a movie. Now of course because it was fiction, but also for some reason my constitution in my brain could sort of handle some bad news. I was strong enough that I needed to artificially take down my mood just so I could artificially feel the difference when they raised it later.

But what happens in 2024 if you walk into a theater and the first scene is horrible damage and terrible things happening to somebody that you're going to care about later? You just don't want to watch it. I literally want to just walk out right away. It's intolerable. So I can't handle a big dopamine drop. And I don't know if it's because the environment has changed. It's more complicated. Something about my phone. But I cannot handle bad news in a movie because my brain is saying, "Why would you watch 15 minutes of somebody being tortured when every single flip of my phone is better than every second of every movie?" It's just there's no competition anymore.

I don't think movies can survive. I don't see any way that can happen. We keep talking about how AI is going to make it easy to make a movie. I'm going to give you the counter-prediction. AI will make movies useless and worthless. So once you take the money out of it, because let's say anybody can make a movie, nobody's going to want to watch that movie you made.

How many clips of AI have you seen as like examples of how AI can make a 15-second clip and it's so good? And I watched some of those 15-second clips. I go, "Oh, that's sort of interesting." But when was the last time you went to a movie and then gushed about these special effects? I don't remember the last time. But when Star Wars was new you did, right? It was like mind-blowing. Wow. You got a little dopamine hit just seeing what they could do was a dopamine hit. But now there's no dopamine hit because they can do everything.

So imagine you're watching a movie and it's not the first time you've ever seen AI and there's a character walking through a complicated cityscape. It's all done by AI. Are you still impressed? No, because it's not the first year of AI. The first year is all pretty amazing. By the second year it's just what's there. It's just background. So you're not going to want to watch the movie because you're not going to want to watch any movie because there won't be any movie with a three-act structure no matter who makes it, humans or AI. Nobody cares.

But in the short run the movie makers, because they still make money, they can kind of force you to see a movie by brainwashing you. Literally we're still at that point where if the advertising is good enough we all have to watch it. It's like you're forced to. Dune 2. I don't want to watch Dune 2 but the advertising got me. I know I'm not going to like it. I know I'm not, even though it's exactly the kind of thing I used to love. You know, good sci-fi movie. But no.

So yes, phones ruin movies and there's no coming back.

We keep talking about the causes of kids being more depressed and having mental health problems. We always think, "Ah, it's the phones. It's the phones. It's the phones." And I think it's mostly the phones. But I think we're leaving out the fact that it's everything. If we concentrate on the one thing, we're going to lose everything else.

I think the thing making kids, young people, depressed and anxious is the food supply is bad. There may be environmental pollutants that have an effect. It's the phones of course. It's bad adult advice on everything. How about the homework? Does anybody have a teenager who does four hours of homework a night? How do you be happy if you have four hours of homework every school night and at least one night on the weekend? That's actually normal in my town. That's normal. Four hours, six nights a week. And that might be on top of a sport or something. So they're getting to bed at midnight. So they're getting no sleep.

And then when they go to bed at midnight they pick up their phone because they need an hour of phone before they go to sleep. So homework, if you took out the food pollution and you took out the phones and the only thing you did was make kids do four hours of homework a night, they would all be anxious, depressed, and unhappy. That's all. Now that's just one thing.

The food is definitely killing them, making them fat and unhealthy and feeling unsexy and dropping their testosterone and everything else. The homework, the bullies, the social media. And then there's the mass hysteria in the news. When I was a kid I distinctly remember getting a mental health problem from being told that we were going to get nuked by the Soviet Union maybe any minute now. Like I actually had a bomb shelter in my basement which my father thought could be done with cinder blocks that'll stop that radiation. So and we the Duck and Cover things for a nuclear attack. All that crazy stuff.

So I actually know what it feels like to be part of a mass hysteria. Now in that case it might have been a real risk so I'm not sure if the false part is true, but the hysteria was certainly true. Now we have the same thing with climate change. If you were a kid today you're being told that climate change will destroy your world in your lifetime, in your lifetime, and there's no way back. What would you do if all the parents, all of them, every TV show because they're not watching Fox News, right? So every time they turn it on it says your world will be destroyed. It doesn't look like the adults can stop it. You're going to grow into a hellscape. We're spending all your money by the way. There's no way you can pay back the debt. And probably the terrorists will kill you all.

So the news is certainly making young people anxious.

All right. As you know, Oregon's looking to back out from their decriminalization of drugs because it made things much worse. So the ODs went way up when they decriminalized. But there's a little pushback because in Portugal there's a claim that their decriminalization worked. And the claim is that they did a more comprehensive job. In other words in Portugal it could be decriminalized if you were doing drugs but they would try to force you into treatment. Apparently in Oregon they passed some money for treatment and then they never implemented the treatment part for whatever reason. So they had decriminalization without any treatment or extra treatment.

So I say again I think it's terrific that there was a trial. You know, that's what the states are for. Hey, test this, see if it works. But that test, I don't think you can call that a good test.

Now I will say, just to put a counterpoint on this, I've heard other people say that the Portugal success is all fake. Have you heard that? That the so-called Portugal decriminalizing drugs, we heard it was a big success but it's all a lie. I don't know what's true by the way. I don't know if it's a big success or a big lie. But I know they did it differently. So if they got different outcomes that would be useful.

All right, here's a brain flipper for you. We'll get to some more politics in a minute. But AI is going to flip the creativity-implementation model that has always been driving our society. What I mean by that is forever, at least in my lifetime, a good idea had no value at all because we all have good ideas. It's all about the implementation. Implementing anything is just so hard, getting through all the laws and just even hiring a lawyer to set up your corporation and hiring people and payroll and you know and then you get sued. And so starting a business is insanely hard. But coming up with an idea for a business has always been cheap and free and easy.

That just reversed. Because with AI you'll be able to start a company just by telling your AI to do it. We're not there but maybe by next year you'll be able to say, "Hey, startup AI, I got an idea. I need you to make an app and the app should do this and that. And then I want you to form a corporation around it. So contact the lawyer or act as the lawyer, fill out the forms. You know, I'll just sign things. I'll answer questions and sign things but you're going to do all the work. You're going to set up my corporation. You're going to set up the payroll. You're going to hire if you need anybody but you probably won't need anybody because buddy it's just me and you." So it's just me and the AI. But the AI will do everything. All the legal stuff, the lawyers, the accounting, everything. It'll make sure you don't violate any state laws. It'll pay your taxes. They'll do all of it.

And what I would do is come up with the idea. So it's shifting the power from great implementers — and I would say Elon Musk is a great implementer — to great ideas. Did Elon Musk come up with the idea of the electric car? No, no he did not. But he's the greatest implementer we've ever seen. Did he come up with the idea of, "Hey, reusable rockets would be good for a variety of reasons"? No, he did not invent that. But he implemented better than anybody ever has. You know, Neuralink implementation, Starlink implementation, buying X and fixing everything, firing 80% of the staff, implementation, right?

So implementation makes you the richest person in the world and should. And should. That's all deserved. However, imagine if I can wake up in the morning and say, "You know what, I've got an idea for an app. Form a company, AI. Write that app and let's test it with a few people." And I could actually just come up with hundreds of ideas over the course of maybe a few years, try every one of them or at least to the point of having a viable testable product to see if anybody's excited.

And it should create the value in the creative people. And this is the weird part. I contend that my generation is special, special in one specific way. We were born and we grew up before phones. So our brains are developed before the smartphone gave us all the productivity and gave us all the creativity. So we had to come up with creativity and solutions on our own. So I believe my generation developed some skills for creativity if only because we sat there alone a lot and not looking at anything.

Do you know how much time I just sat there not looking at anything or doing anything because there wasn't anything to do? Like just nothing. I used to sit on a wall when I was a teenager and pick up the little sticks, the twigs that fell off a tree, and I'd watch the traffic in my small town which would be one car every five minutes. And I would take the bigger sticks and break them into smaller pieces. And when I was done with that I would get another stick and I could do that for an hour because there was nothing else to do.

I would be in my room trying to spin a basketball on my finger because I didn't have anything else to do. I learned to juggle. Just nothing else to do. But now I've been immersed in technology. So I was old enough to have a brain that was created pre-technology but I was young enough that I was completely immersed in technology in my whole work career. So that's unique.

And now I'm still young enough, but just barely because you know I'm really past my expiration, but I'm staying healthy so far. I'm one of the people who has a full creative structure in my head and I've got enough facility with technology that I should be able to be one of the few people, you know, small sliver of people who could use AI and add creativity.

My belief is that we've lost our ability to be creative because we're more consumers and less creators. Yeah, if you don't have a phone you create because you create your own consumption. Come up with a thought, think about it. That's your entertainment. But if it's just coming to you there's no thinking. You're just, you know, your creative muscle is basically atrophied.

So I believe that as AI gets better the creative muscle in humans will atrophy. It will just let the AI do it. But there'll be a thin sliver of time in which I can quickly become the richest person on Earth simply by coming up with ideas that are higher quality ideas than young people are able to do. But I also would have the ability to instantly implement through AI. None of that's going to happen but it's an interesting thought.

So the only thing I want you to remember is that there's an inversion where implementation used to be everything and now it might be nothing. So it might make the idea the valuable thing for the first time in history. The idea has never been the important thing except maybe the wheel, you know, because you could implement it yourself with a, you know, carving a stone or something.

All right. So Prigozhin is dead but they think his troll farms live on. And there's more priming us that Russia is going to influence the elections. Huh. Who would want to prime us to believe that the elections were being influenced toward Trump? Oh yeah, all the bad guys who if Trump wins they're going to say it was Russia collusion and they're going to try to overthrow the election and say it wasn't fair because Russia interfered. So they're setting you up for that.

I don't believe there's any evidence that any Russian troll farms make any difference in our elections. There's no evidence that made any difference the last time in 2020 anyway. So I don't think it'll make a difference this time.

This is the fake data season. This is the season where all of the economic data will make it look as though everything is working great because the Democrats control the government. The government comes up with the data and believe it or not the data is going to make it look like the economy is doing well. Well, surprised. Some data came out and it looks like inflation is slowing down. Well I think we can thank Joe Biden for that.

Now for your amusement, you know a lot of you believe that Joe Biden has been replaced by AI because he looks and acts and walks like he's AI. Maybe, you know, maybe a version 3.5 GPT sort of AI. Not really a good one. But I proved that he was actually mechanical. And the way I did it was I reverse-engineered him to find his code. I did. I reverse-engineered President Biden and I found out the code behind all of his communication. And I'm going to show you on the whiteboard the form that he uses. I'll show you some examples.

So this is the reverse-engineered Biden code. And so this is just a formula, sort of like an algorithm. And you can populate it with any number of contents but it's always the same. So he starts with an outrageous lie about anything and then he justifies the lie with what I call a hollow because. It means he uses the word "because" but what comes after the word "because" is nonsense or incomplete. But then he just keeps talking so that you don't have time to think about it too much. But it sounded like there was a reason. And then he sometimes adds a weird emphasis so that his non-point sounds like it was a point.

Let me give you an example. So the lie might be, "Well inflation was 25,000 under Trump but I got it down to zero." And then you add the fake because: "Because of all the Bidenomics policies. Have I mentioned infrastructure?" Now if you want to add that, if you want to make it stronger, you do it. Karine Jean-Pierre, whoever she is, what she does, she adds weird emphasis. Joe does this too but he does a different one. So I'm going to add the weird emphasis to make it sound like the hollow because actually says something.

All right, you ready? "The GDP is up 25,000 percent and that's because of Bidenomics and because of my policies. And have I mentioned the infrastructure? And it's because of the policies. The policies." See, if you just said everything got better because of my policies you're like, "Huh, I'm not even hearing the reason." But if you say it with weird emphasis then people will think they heard a reason when there's not one there.

No, the reason that unemployment is zero for black people, the reason it's zero for black people is the Biden economic policies. The policies. Infrastructure. Infrastructure. See now Joe does the weird emphasis with a whisper or sometimes a dementia yell. So that would go this way: "GDP is up 500% because of the Biden policies." See that's the whisper thing. But he could also do, "Because I love policies." You know, his dementia yell.

So pretty much everything will follow this: outrageous lie, hollow because with no explanations, with weird emphasis. And that's a Biden robot right there. You can build it yourself.

Well, RFK Jr. is growing in support. I saw he's got his new VP and Douglas MacKinnon was writing that RFK Jr. has a higher favorability rating than both Biden and Trump. Now you know Trump of course has his loyalists and they're not going to go anywhere. But it's kind of interesting that the third party is more favorable than both of the major candidates.

RFK is also the favorite among voters under 35. Wouldn't that be exactly the people that Biden has pretty much owned? That feels like a mortal blow to the Biden campaign. And he's gaining rapidly among minorities. So basically RFK Jr. is a threat to the strongest strongholds of the Democrat Party. And he doesn't have to take many of them away because remember Trump on his own is already scooping up a lot of minority voters. So if you had RFK Jr., what's left for Biden? Just young single women who are getting punched in the face.

So basically Biden's entire demographic core is going to be young women who get punched in the face. That's not much to run on. "I will lead you, the people who are getting punched in the face because of my policies." See what I did there?

So it looks like the Democrats are going to have to jail Trump and keep RFK Jr. off the ballot to win and protect democracy. They're doing a lot to protect democracy. For example — oh by the way before I give you that, I saw Benny Johnson was reporting that the judge's daughter in that Alvin Bragg case, so the judge's daughter has a photo of Donald Trump behind bars and in a jail cell as her profile picture. So fair trial coming up.

So that's a judge who has to go back to his own daughter and explain why Trump isn't in jail. His own family will give him a terrible time presumably if he doesn't put Trump in jail or find against him in the hardest possible way. So do you think that that case is anything like, oh I don't know, fair justice or anything like that?

Well let's put this all together into one statement. So it looks like Biden is trying to protect democracy. That's going to be his play. And he's going to protect democracy just as effectively as he comes up with nicknames. So he came up with "broke down" and caused Trump to make $9 billion. And he's going to protect democracy. And the way he's going to do it, he's going to keep RFK Jr. off the ballot. They've created a whole organization just to do that. He's going to use corrupt prosecutors and judges to put Trump in jail to protect democracy. He's going to use government-funded entities to censor Republicans and manipulate the news for democracy while servicing the military industrial complex for democracy and taking away your guns for democracy.

Now there, that's how you save your democracy. Am I right? Now you're probably laughing and saying, "Scott, those seem like the opposite of saving democracy." But do you like freedom? You like freedom, don't you? If you want freedom, Biden is your one. Because after he's done all of that, in a Janis Joplin kind of way, you'll finally be free. Because freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose.

They would take your candidate away. They will take your guns away. They will take your free speech away. They will take your access to accurate information away. They'll take your RFK Jr. away. And after they've taken everything away and you can only walk down the street getting punched in the face, you'll finally be free because you'll have nothing else to lose.

Now you say to yourself, "But Scott, at least I can enjoy some nice food." No, food's giving you cancer. No, you have nothing left to lose. You say, "Well at least I can scroll through my phone." No, no, mental illness. Can't scroll through your phone. Just going to make things worse, right? "Well at least I can go outside." Well if you do you better put on your sunscreen. If you're going to go outside put on your sunscreen. Sunscreen might kill you people say from the chemicals. So you'll die if you go in the sun or you don't go in the sun because you won't have enough vitamin D. So basically you've got lots of options is what I'm saying.

Attorney John Eastman looks like he's going to get disbarred for helping Trump in the fake insurrection that the Democrats who are saving democracy have convinced you actually happened. Now one of the ways that the Democrats saved democracy is that they threw away some of the testimonies that would have been, let's say, helpful to Trump and the other J6ers. So they're helping democracy with a show trial in which they throw away the exculpatory information to save democracy.

I feel a lot safer. In fact right now, since I'm being completely censored from all contact with Democrats, don't I feel safer? Of course I do. And freer. Because now that I don't have ability to broadcast to people who might have their minds changed by anything I say, I feel much freer. Much freer. Nothing left to lose.

Well the simulation has been tapping us on the shoulder and kicking us in the shin and grabbing us by the balls and saying, "Are you paying attention? This is a simulation." How do I know? Well it couldn't wink any harder. Here's an example. The Daily Show has been resurrected with Jon Stewart. And somebody decided that the best way to decorate his entire set is behind him it has the words "The Daily Show" but surrounding him on his desk and on the side walls and everywhere else they've abbreviated it to TDS.

So yes, I swear this is true. Jon Stewart sits among a hundred acronyms that say TDS and then presents TDS in the real world. I swear to God that's happening. Now you tell me we're not in the simulation. Seriously. You're watching Trump embark on the third act of all third acts exactly as I told you he would and you don't think we live in a simulation?

Have you ever seen me change the world? Watch the comments. Have you ever seen me change the world? How is that possible? Well I'll do it again.

So there's a story in Yahoo News about a Utah gubernatorial candidate Phil Lyman. And I guess he said some things about the bridge collapse and he referenced diversity and DEI. Now I do not think that the bridge collapse is caused by any diversity or DEI. You know they don't know exactly what the problem is but I think that's the least likely possibility. Some are still saying it might be some kind of a cyber attack. I wouldn't rule it out. But I think by far the most likely is just happens. And sometimes it happens when you're near a bridge. That's my guess.

Now I could be easily talked out of that. It wouldn't take much more information to be convinced it was a cyber attack. You know I'm sort of 60-40 that it was just an accident. I'm at zero that it was anything racial. I don't see any evidence of that.

But back to this story. The Utah gubernatorial hopeful Phil Lyman, I think more that he was just bolstering a story that he's against DEI and was using it as an example. Probably wasn't the best example. But in the process of doing a hit piece on him, Yahoo News mentioned that one of the terrible things this poor guy did — this Phil Lyman who's running for Utah governor — and if you can believe this, this bad behavior, it was so bad that they needed to call it out in the article. And you know people live complicated lives but they found one of the worst things he's ever done. And I feel bad even bringing it up because you know poor Phil Lyman he doesn't deserve this. But since it's been reported I feel I can mention it.

Well this poor guy, this really happened. He reposted one of my posts on X. Yeah, yeah. Now if you saw a story in which a major part of the story was that this guy, my God how could he, he posted one of my posts. Now how did they describe that? Let me check their exact wording. They said they describe me as the Dilbert cartoonist. Dilbert with a D. The Dilbert cartoonist. And I was called a conservative commentator, right wing.

All right. So the two things they described about me are completely wrong. I'm not the Dilbert cartoonist — wait, I am the Dilbert cartoonist. No, they said Gilbert. I'm not the Gilbert cartoonist and I'm not conservative. The times that I agree with conservatives are every time they say something that's obvious. And you know it's just obvious, right? Am I a conservative because I like strong border control? Well according to them if I don't want massive migration uncontrolled, what if I don't want my government to be massively censoring the citizens? Well what am I, some kind of conservative reactionary? Like what exactly is the policy that they could look at to call me a conservative? Because every single thing that I agree with conservatives on and it's a pretty long list of things I agree with, they're all just common sense. I don't take any religious take on anything, right? I have no religious point of view. So how do you call me a conservative?

So here's your news. Now do you remember the G-man theory? G-man noticed that whenever there was a story about physics, his expertise, he knew it was all wrong. But then he would read the next story that wasn't his expertise and he would forget to question it because he thought, "Well it's in the news, probably true." Then one day he realized, "Wait a minute. If 100% of the things I know about are wrong, what does that say about the rest of the news?" And of course that was the insight that unlocked everything. Of course it's all fake.

Look at this example. It's a story in which I'm a central player of the story and the only two things they said about me are dead wrong. Now that got through editors. It wasn't just a writer. It got through editors, probably more than one. Anyway here's the bigger part of the story. So I've been saving the big part of the story.

Imagine if you will I'm a central part of the story and it's being used to slime this one individual Phil Lyman. Don't you think that if you're going to mention that he reposted my post, what's the minimum logical thing you would do? If the story is about something I posted and it was on the topic of DEI, what's the minimum you would do? You would link to it, am I right? You would link to it.

Now suppose you didn't want to give me any attention because I'm the Dilbert cartoonist and a conservative and they don't like that. So suppose you didn't want me to get any extra clicks. Well it's just a post. Wasn't that long. I mean it was a long thread but you know maybe it'd be a quarter of a page. They could just copy and paste it because that would be fair use. If you're talking about it you can publish it in whole. You knew that, right? There's no copyright problem. If you're doing a story about it you can just publish it in whole. You couldn't do it with a whole book but you can do it with something short.

So now you say to yourself but Scott they probably had a lot of things they didn't link to. Nope. It was an article in which every paragraph had a link to find out more about something in the paragraph. Every paragraph. There were like 12 links to external things. And yet a core part of the story was my post. No link.

Let me tell you why there was no link to it. Because they read it. Yeah, that the post is my highly viral post, maybe the most persuasive thing I've ever written and maybe the most persuasive thing that's ever been written. Big claim. Well that's called persuasion. I'm actually giving you a challenge. I don't think anything has ever been more persuasive because it was the sum of everything I've learned all my life put into one piece. And I didn't hold anything back. And it was about how DEI is basically a female strategy and that for men you just look pathetic if you say, "Hey, my discrimination held me back." If you're a man it just looks pathetic. I don't care if it's true. But it's true. I don't care. I got problems too. Why is your problem special?

But for a female strategy victimization can work. You can actually get things fixed by complaining. If men do it they can sometimes get things fixed but we don't respect them ever again. So it's not really a good tradeoff. So it's so persuasive in my personal opinion — and I think you'll agree — that that's the reason it's got 1.1 million views is because people agree. If you look at the comments they're unlike anything I've ever done. Most of the comments are something like, "It's the best thing you've ever done." Most of them. That's a weird thing because you don't get that comment on just a good post. It's very rare that most of the comments say it's the best thing you've ever done when you know I've written 50 books. So that's really special.

So it's so dangerous apparently that Yahoo News won't link to it. Now I'm going to tell you the real reason they don't link to it is just that it would destroy their entire narrative. That's why it's that dangerous. But I'm completely controlled because I'm siloed. I'm siloed not just that nobody wanders in accidentally and sees my stuff but even when there's a major entity, Yahoo News I would call a major news entity, even when they do a story about it they silo me by not — I'm the only thing they didn't link to.

Are you blown away by that or is that just because it's me that I'm blown away? Maybe I'm just too inside my own head here. Is that, does that tell you something that's like meaningful for the rest of you or am I just talking about myself? I can't tell. This might be just too much inside baseball anyway. I'll look at your comments about that.

Pennsylvania court ruled in favor of signature verification for mail-in voting. Why the hell is that a story? It's a story that the court ruled that you do the most basic thing to make sure the election is not rigged. What? Why in the world was that even important? Like we live in a world in which strengthening voter security is somehow controversial. That's controversial. Wow.

And then I saw an opinion piece by Jon Ralston from the Ralston Reports. Not familiar with them but apparently he wrote a column and he reposted it so we could see. And he says in the wake of the McDaniel hiring firing people seem to forget the issue here has no equivalent. So he's talking about the 2020 January 6 stuff has no equivalent. He said you deny the 2020 election you should be shunned. You can and should Trump you should be able to platform Trump backers. In other words MSNBC you know should be able to put a Trump backer on there but not an insurrectionist. Not an insurrectionist. That now that's too far. That's too far.

And the reason that he has this opinion is that he believes it's a fact that the election was not rigged. How can you be so brainwashed that you think it's possible to know who won an election? How does that even happen? That is strong brainwashing.

But imagine putting him in the room with me and he makes this claim that people like me should be shunned for imagining that this election was not perfectly fair. To which I would say to him, "How would you know if it was fair or it wasn't?" And he would say dumb things like the courts didn't find a problem. And I would say, "What school did you go to where you learn that not finding something by looking in the wrong place tells you that there's nothing there?"

So I would like to give a demonstration of proving that automobiles don't exist. Would you like to see it? I can prove it. Watch this. My proof that automobiles don't exist: I don't see any automobiles under my shirt. How about this drawer? Searching, searching. No automobiles. Proof there are no automobiles under my shirt. There are no automobiles in my desk drawer. QED there are no automobiles in existence. They're all imaginary.

Now is there something wrong with this individual's brain like organically they can't figure this out on their own or is this purely brainwashing? Now if it's brainwashing IQ is not a variable. This is one of the hardest things for people to understand. IQ and being smart and even being well informed won't help you from being brainwashed.

Do you think that when Patty Hearst was taken by the Symbionese Liberation Army and basically brainwashed, was it because she had a low IQ? She probably didn't. I mean I don't know anything about her but I doubt she was just sort of naturally dumb. No, there is absolutely no correlation between intelligence and how easily you can be hypnotized. In fact the evidence anecdotally for hypnotists is that it's easier to hypnotize a smart person because they let their guard down because they think they can't be hypnotized. That they just don't assume that it happens to them. They assume it's only something that happens to dumb people. So they don't have any defense. It just goes right through.

But do you think that Jon Ralston is aware that there is no mechanism and nobody's even tried to create a mechanism to know if an election is fair? That's unknowable by design. If it were paper ballots and every paper ballot was counted by both teams so there was a Democrat that counted every ballot at the same time a Republican counted every ballot, that would be I would say that I could call that election fair. Because it would be designed for me to acquire that information.

So if you say, "Scott do you think this is fair?" I say, "Well how did you do the election?" "Well it was all paper ballots. It was all same day. We checked all their IDs and then every single thing was counted by two people at the same time. And when they got to 10 they would check the count." "All right did you have eight Bidens and two Trumps?" "Yes." "Okay continue. Do the next 10." That way you're audited instantly. You're instantly audited because two teams got the same number and they stopped every 10 and then they went on, right?

So you could design a system where you would say to me, "I know it's really complicated and there's all these precincts and you can't watch them all and who knows but this was our system." If they told me that and I knew that was really the system I would say, "Yeah, yeah you know what I'm going to treat that as a fact because you built a system that would produce information to allow me to say it's a fact."

The current system produces nonsense. Nonsense. I can't even tell where the vote is. Wait is my vote in the ballot box or is it in the machine that created the paper? Are they counting the paper or is the machine count or are they comparing it? Then it goes into some kind of ballot counting machine, tabulator. What's that all about? Then where does the electronic signal go for any of that and how do they transmit it and what computers are involved and how many entities, how many state lines does it cross, how many international borders does it cross? What is the susceptibility to hacking? It's designed so you can't tell who won. It's pretty obvious.

Well when you imagine how easy it would be to design out all possibility of and then you look what we built instead, I think that removes all doubt, doesn't it? So to argue whether a vote was or was not rigged is the stupid argument I'm sorry. Because I know a lot of you make the argument it's obvious it was rigged. That's the dumb argument if only because you can't sell it. It's an unsellable argument. Nobody's buying it. So why do it?

But if you say to somebody look at the design. Look at what it could be then look what it is and look that we know we have a credibility problem. So it's not like we don't have a problem. And it's the biggest problem in the country and no effort whatsoever to fix it. There's only one conclusion, right?

You see how easy it is to fix things. You want to fix? Ron DeSantis shows you every day that he can fix things that need to be fixed fairly efficiently. Yeah so it can be done. So don't be shunning those election deniers. Instead of being an election denier be an election system analyst. Am I an election denier? No I'm a system analyst and I found a system that can't tell you who won. That's it. You do not have an argument for that. This is a system that by its design can't tell you who won. It can give you a result which I accepted immediately and never changed my mind because I do think that cheating is built into the system. So whoever cheats their way to a win, well they got the win. Unfortunately that's the system.

So when I accepted the result immediately it had nothing to do with my suspicions about the quality of the election. It's just that was our system and we allowed it to run. We all watched it and we that's the system. So I hate to say it but Joe Biden was elected by our system and I accepted it and I've never changed my mind. Yeah he guesses four years. I guess he'll get another one maybe if they find a way to make it happen.

All right ladies and gentlemen that is all I have for your collective interest. I'm going to leave the Locals people on this feed, the subscribers who get a little extra, and then I'm going to say bye for now to the rest of you and I'll see you tomorrow in the morning, same place, same time.

good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization it's called coffee with Scott Adams and um pretty sure there's never been a better day in your life but suppose you wanted to take it up to new levels levels that nobody had ever seen before what would you do then well I have a suggestion I say in a Biden whisper all you need for that is a cuper a Mugger a glass a tanker chalice or Ste a canteen jugg or flask a vessel of any kind fill with your favorite liquid I like coffee and join me now for the unparallel pleasure the dopamine head of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called simultanous up it happens now go so no video some people are saying no video you say interesting interesting cuz I can see myself audio is working video is working now no video some say videos back videos back all right we're all good now right everybody's happy all right good we're going to launch into the best show you've seen this morning it involves a a whiteboard there will be a whiteboard and uh let's just jump right into it one of the good things about uh doing the dilber comic on my own instead of having a publisher is that I can do it faster and so this week uh squatters have moved into uh the cubicles in um Dilbert's workplace so Ted will be the first one who is replaced by a squatter and the the rules of the state the boss to give the salary and benefits from Ted to the squatters who took over his cubicle and uh and so it goes if you'd like to see that you'd have to be a member of locals Scott adams.

locals.com or subscribe to Dilbert reborn on X anyway uh here's some good news they're restarting a nuclear plant plant in Michigan so the Biden Administration I will give them full credit for this that allow me to be non political for a moment Biden Administration uh putting a $1.5 billion loan to restart a Michigan nuclear power plant hello good job good job government I'm sure it could have been faster and better like everything in the world but if you're moving in the right direction I'm going to call it out and yes this is the right thing would the Trump Administration have done the same thing probably probably because I think it's just time and I would like to take another Victory lap for those of us who work so hard to move that Battleship um from saying that nuclear is bad to nuclear is the thing that will save the world from every energy problem we have so another call down to Mark Schneider Michael shellenberger Zion lights and everybody who helped on that that do you realize that that was literally a Grassroots change in Civilization that there were specific individuals and there weren't there weren't that many of them probably just a handful of people who collectively use persuasion and a tremendous amount of energy there there may have been some Financial backing from just citizens and and the entire the entire thing changed I don't even know the last time I saw anybody negative on nuclear can you remember the last time you saw a negative nuclear story in the press or anything negative except that they were closing right so everything's changed and that was people people did that so that's kind of impressive well there's a new report that says uh uh that there's a there's a compound found in cinnamon that might be the cure for baldness uh they caution you you can't get the benefit by eating a bunch of cinnamon you wouldn't be able to eat enough cinnamon to do that but uh Yep they're going to cure boldness you know if they reverse aging and cure boldness and I can put a chip in my head to cure my eyesight and fix all of those other aches and pains I think I'm going to live forever yeah yeah I'm going to have a full head of hair any minute now I think it's the weirdest thing that we're trying to cure hair now I don't know if anybody can back me on this but being bald is way better than you think do you know how much time I don't spend on my hair yeah it's it's a it's a really tough mental thing to get past because you say to yourself ah lost my hair all my verality is gone you know women will not like me I will be teased for my hair but it turns out if you go to the gym and shave your damn head you actually come out AE just go to the gym shave your stupid head and never worry about combing your hair again it's really kind of awesome you know it's one of those things which you wouldn't ask for you nobody would say please make me bald but it does turn out to be better than not bald it literally is better if as long as you go to the gym if you don't go to the gym it's it's just adding one bad thing to another bad thing but as long as you go to the gym bald works perfectly all right they Babylon B is reporting that uh Rond De.

Santis has been kicked out of the Republican Party wow what did he do kicked down the Republican party for H accomplishing too many things accomplishing too many things I think the last STW was when he immediately uh responded to the public outcry about squatting and immediately changed the law so squatters don't have rights in Florida and everybody said that was a great job but now you got to go I'm sorry you got to leave you're making everybody look stupid by accomplishing things oh Ronda santis you think you're going to be such a showoff by accomplishing things well we've had enough of you sir sit down go to the back we've had enough of this accomplishing things that the public wants we won't put up with this well Katherine herriage as you know had some kind of weird uh exit from her job as CBS but there is rumor that she's negotiating with X to be on the xplatform how awesome would that be to to me that would be probably the single most important thing that happened on X since the Takeover and and I say that because she has such a good reputation as a solid investigative journalist that having run the platform would be very different from adding Don Lemon to the platform right because you know Katherine herriage is not noted as anybody who's in the bag for one side she seems to be straight down the middle so that would be a huge boost to The credibility but I have a question as Elan musk has pointed out a few times the traditional media is taking a big hit in viewership it's down like 20% a year while X clicks are up and but you've all noticed that a lot of the traffic at least the political traffic and news related traffic it links back to the news so what would happen if the traditional news just went away I don't think it can because they need it for propaganda but if x became the only good place to get news because it's the only place you trusted it would the others go away or would they just devolve more into the propagandists that they are I think they would just devolve more that's my guess but anyway it's a big that's a big deal I hope they make that deal um so poor step Crowder as you know his divorce situation is public and I'm not going to get into the you know the who did what part but there's a a story that's bigger than the story the story is about the people observing so there's a whole bunch of people observing uh a divorce in which the wife was not uh working and the husband had made a ton of money especially recently and uh they had to work out the financials cuz there's no predom and I guess it's not super friendly or as friendly as it could be and so Tim p and others are watching in horror uh as they're learning they're learning for the first time that uh the husband has to pay his opponent to take his money so the the the court will charge the husband because he's the one with the assets for the legal services of both the husband and the wife I mean the husband will get his own um attorney but the wife will get her attorney she'll pick it on her own and then she'll use the husband's money to extend the lawsuit because the lawyer for the wife uh is going to want to keep it going as long as possible because that person gets paid by the hour so the wife will get this you will hire the lawyer from hell and and just torture the husband for extra money until he just psychologically gives up and writes a big check and can't stand paying the can't stand paying his opponent to negotiate how long can you pay your opponent for negotiating with you there there's some point where you just can't do it like your brain just says I can't pay people to take my money it's bad enough they're going to take my money but I can't pay them to take my money like that's just too far now anyway the bigger story here is that the whole uh Enterprise of marriage and divorce is a really poorly designed system I'm not going to take sides in this specific divorce because we don't know enough and it's not fair and I wish them well and we don't know what's going on and any judgment that we make about what they are doing or not doing completely inappropriate but the but the larger story that people watching it are horrified at the system they're not they're not horrified at what the people are doing people are kind of working the way you do within the system it's all it's all ugly anyway that really needs to be fixed but I don't have any ideas for doing it there's a weird and alarming trend of women in New York City doing selfy videos showing that they had just gotten punched randomly while walking down the street now I don't know yet is this really a thing or were there just three examples of it and we think it's a thing but there are I just watched three videos of young women in New York who said they were just walking down the street and somebody walked up and punched them in the head and now they got a big black eye or bump on their head or something now I don't know if that's really a trend or a weird little blip statistically but I will tell you this if you're having any conversation on the topic of young women being punched in the face randomly because I walked down the city street that's when you should reexamine your strategy for success and I'll say it again that the Democrat strategy for Success focuses on victimization and fixing it and that's a female strategy because if a man complains about the little things that are holding him back he looks pathetic and it's not exactly the the way men were evolved we were evolved to run into an obstacle and then die trying to get rid of it pound on it with our head stab it with a knife shoot it with a gun do something but but you don't get you don't stop because you had a complaint you know it doesn't matter you got a sniffle or a limp or a or uh you know massive discrimination you don't stop you just keep in your terribly destructive worldview that victimization is should be the primary motivator of everything what what would be if you were designing the simulation how would you let's say wake up people well I would have them being punched in the face on a regular basis which by the way I'm not in favor of so don't want to act I don't want to act happy that anybody's getting punched in the face that's all bad we don't want anybody to get punched in face but it's hard to avoid the fact that we live in a simulation and it's telling us hey hey I have something to tell you about the quality of your political preferences really what is it bam I'd like to have a second conversation because it looks like you didn't hear me the first time about what your political preferences would you like to talk about them well all right bam now how many times do you have to get punched in the face before you start saying hey maybe it's something I'm doing I I wonder if I wonder if somehow my actions are in any way related to the outcomes number one get the out of any City where you're getting punched in the face walking down the streets get the out of there that's number one number two examine your voting just give it a second look that that's I don't give a lot of advice but I'm going to make an exception if your political preferences cause you a young woman to be randomly punched in the face because you went outoors just just take a pause just look at the big picture just ask yourself is there anything wor doing that we could do differently that would make fewer people get punched in the face it's all ask just rethink it there was a study in the UK on uh representation of black people in advertising so over in the UK uh they did very well very well in diversity so in the advertisements they looked at over a two-month period and found that 37% of the advertisements featured uh black people in the advertisements very good job how good it's like the best job I've ever seen because the black percentage of people in the UK is 3% so although black people in the UK are 3% they are 37% of all advertisement and I think we could all say that's a huge success you know I feel that I've reached equity and equality already because once 3% of the population is 37% of the advertis M I feel like everything's now equal so well not totally I still have to pay a few trillion dollars and reparations but I think that's just fair there is a new film that I guess is debuting only on X Grace price is the producer and uh I didn't watch it but the teaser seems to suggest that cancer in this country is maybe being triggered by our food supply do you think you would see that documentary in let's say one of the major networks probably not because they take their advertisement from the food industry um now there might be some of that advertisement on X but probably not so X by being boycotted by advertisers uh at least to some degree um becomes maybe the only safe place you can put on a documentary that would challenge one of our biggest industries so I don't have an opinion about the accuracy of the documentary and remember there's always a documentary effect if you watch any documentary with any point of view by the time you're done you will think it's all true doesn't mean it's true it just means you saw one point of view for an hour if you see one point of view for an hour you're you're going to be persuaded because they not going to show you any counter evidence so be careful about that but my every part of my instinct does say that our food supply is poisoning us and causing cancer and um oh wow she was an 18-year-old girl wow so she says it's a story of how I and 18-year-old girls spent two years relentlessly searching for the true cause of cancer and yeah the true cause so you know there's a genetic component to cancer of course but then there's the lifestyle triggers so she went looking for the triggers that will be very interesting uh Greg Abbott U issued an executive order that the Texas Colleges and universities should you know look at all their uh rules and make sure that uh that they're they're sort of anti- anti-Semitism so they're trying to reduce anti-Semitism in the Texas universities and so Greg Abbott did these executive orders and uh people like Christopher rufo who says he's you know very committed to the fight against anti-Semitism as all of us should be um it says why are you calling out this one group oh that's a good question shouldn't the rules be uh looked at to make sure that 100% of all people are free from anti everything that in other words there's no group that gets discriminated against why do do you need to call out one particular group is it because that one particular group is the subject to the most discrimination no that's not why that is not why because if it was based on the most discrimination they would have already done an executive order to stop discriminating against white people white people and men have been by far the most obviously discriminated people and and Asians asian-americans in colleges so there are a couple of groups that are by far more discriminated but at the moment anti-Semitism is sort of at a crisis level so I do understand why he felt the need to respond but it is a very good question why do you ever need to pick out one group if it's a general rule for your population it should be don't do it to anybody there's no exceptions but I but I understand you Wen wer a special time in place and uh Governor Abbot felt he needed to respond to that I feel that was more a political um response than a good government response well let me put it in another way I don't think De.

Santis would have done this what do you think so De.

Santis is sort of setting the standard for what a good Governor looks like you know no if you want it and it's important and you know the science supports it we're going to do it he's a competitive bastard whatever nickname you give him it's going to be like hey let's call him small penis Dawn I swear to God his penis eyes would double in the next day yeah he's he's just a winner he's just a winner that's just in case any anti-trumpers wandered into the show Ju Just to really give them a heart attack and make them hate me extra well I was just saying on the man cave the other day and it's worth repeating how telephones have ruined movies you you you've noticed that it's impossible to watch a movie that all movies are just garbage now now some of it is the wokeness we talked about that a lot but here's another phenomenon I remember going to the movies let's say in the 60s when I was a kid in the 70s and the 80s and it always felt the same the movie would have would open with something terrible happening to somebody somebody would lose a job or their family would be slaughtered when they went out to the grocery store something horrible would happen but then during the course of the movie you know the the the antagonist the hero would would Prevail and then you would get this relief at the end it's like ah it' be like a dopamine relief so not only did he watch a good movie with lots of good scenes but but that because they depressed your dopamine with the bad news at the front when they released it you're like oh yeah pretty good so here's how phones ruined that if I'm looking at reals or Tik toks you know the little videos that the algorithm that I want if you look at a 15 second reel and you compare the dopamine you get from 15 seconds to any 15 seconds of a three-hour movie any 15 seconds which would be a better dopamine hit the real not sometimes every time because there's no 15sec slice of any movie that gives you much of a dopamine hit I mean most of it's just connecting tissue it's like we you need to know this to move it along here's another car chase yawn another guy tied to a chair to be tortured yawn another sex scene to show you that the characters really really do love each other yawn fast forward so how in the world can a movie compete when every 15-second slice is inferior to every every 15c slice when I'm slice looking through my phone now worse than that there's another bigger effect I used to be able to easily handle watching somebody's family get slaughtered in the first part of a movie now of course because it was fiction but also for some reason my Constitution in my brain could sort of handle some bad news I was strong enough that like I needed to artificially take down my mood just so I could artificially feel the difference when they raised it later but what happens in 2024 if you walk into a theater and the first scene is horrible damage and terrible things happening to somebody that you're going to care about later you just don't want to watch it I literally want to just walk up walk out right away it's it's intolerable so I can't I can't handle a big dopamine drop and I don't know if it's because the environment has changed it's more complicated something about my phone but I cannot handle bad news in a movie because my brain is saying why would you watch 15 minutes of somebody being tortured when every single flip of my phone is better than every second of every movie it's it's just there's no competition anymore I don't I don't think movies can survive I don't see any way that can happen we keep talking about how AI is going to make it easy to make a movie I'm gonna I'm going to give you the counter prediction AI will make movies useless and worthless so once you take the money out of it because let's say anybody can make a movie nobody's going to want to watch that movie you made how how many clips of AI have you seen as like examples of how AI can make a a 15-second clip and it's so good and I watched some of those 15 second Clips I go oh that's sort of interesting but when was the last time you went to a movie and then gushed about these special effects I don't remember the last time but when Star Wars was knew you did right it was like mind-blowing wow you got a little dopamine hit just seeing what they could do was a dopamine hit but now there's no dopamine hit because they can do everything so imagine you're watching a movie and it's not the first time you've ever seen Ai and there's a character walking through a complicated cityscape it's all done by AI are you still impressed no because it's not the first year of AI the first year is all pretty amazing by the second year it's just what's there it's just background so you're not going to watch want to watch the movie because you're not going to want to watch any movie because there won't be any movie with a 3X structure no matter who makes it humans or AI nobody cares but in the short run the movie makers because they still make money they can kind of force you to see a movie by brainwashing you literally what we're still at that point where if the advertising is good enough we all have to watch it you it's like you're forced to Dune to I don't want to watch watched Dune 2 but the advertising got me I know I'm not going to like it I know I'm not even though it's exactly the kind of thing I used to love you know good sci-fi movie but no so yes phones ruin movies and there's no coming back we keep talking about uh the causes of kids being more depressed and having mental health problems we always think ah it's the phones it's the phones it's the phones and I think it's it's mostly the phones but I think we're leaving out the fact that it's everything if we concentrate on the one thing it's you know we're going to lose everything else I think the thing making kids young people depressed and anxious is the food suppli is bad the there may be environmental pollutants that have an effect it's the phones of course it's a bad adult advice on everything um how about the homework does any have a teenager who does four hours of homework a night how how do you be happy if you have four hours of homework every school night and at least one night on the weekend that's actually normal in my town that's normal four hours six nights a week and that might be on top of a sport or something so that they're getting to bed at midnight so they're getting no sleep and then when they go to bed at midnight they pick up their phone cuz they they need an hour of phone before they go to sleep so homework if you took out you know the food pollution and you took out the phones and the only thing you did was make kids do four hours of homework a night they would all be anxious depressed and unhappy that's all now that's just one thing the food is definitely killing them making them fat and unhealthy and feeling unsexy and dropping their testosterone and everything else um the homework this the bullies the social media the and then there's the mass hysteria in the news when I was a kid I distinctly remember getting a mental health problem from being told that we were going to get nuked by the Soviet Union maybe any minute now like I actually had a bomb shelter in my basement which my father thought could be done with cinder blocks that'll stop that radiation so and we the you know Duck and Cover things for a nuclear attack all that crazy stuff so I actually know what it feels like to be part of a mass hysteria now in that case it might have been a real risk so I'm not sure if it's a if the false part is true but the hysteria was certainly true now we have the same thing with climate change if you were a kid today you're being told that climate change will destroy your world in your lifetime in your lifetime and there's no way back what would you do if all the parents all of them every every TV show because they're not watching Fox News right so every time they turn it on it says your world will be destroyed it doesn't look like the adults can stop it you're going to grow into a hellscape uh we're spending all your money by the way there's no way you can pay back the debt and uh probably the terrorists will kill you all so the news is certainly making young people anxious all right as you know Oregon's looking to back out from their uh decriminalization of drugs because it made things much worse so the ODS went way up when they decriminalized but there's a little pushback because in Portugal there's a claim that their decriminalization worked and the claim is that uh they did a more comprehensive job in other words in Portugal uh it could be de criminalized if you were doing drugs but they would try to force you into treatment apparently in Oregon they passed some money for treatment and then they never implemented the treatment part for whatever reason so they had decriminalization without any treatment or extra treatment so I say again I think it's terrific that there was a a trial you know that's what the states are for hey test this see if it works but that test I don't think you can call that a good test now I will say uh just to put a Counterpoint on this I've heard other people say that the Portugal success is all fake have you heard that that the so-called Portugal decriminalizing drugs we heard it was a big success but it's all a lie I don't know what's True by the way I don't know if it's a big success or a big lie but I know they did it differently so if they got different outcomes that would be useful all right here's a uh brain flipper for you we'll get to some more politics in a minute but uh AI is going to flip the creativity implementation um model that has always been driving our society what I mean by that is Forever at least in my lifetime a good idea had no value at all because we all have good ideas it's all about the implementation implementing anything is just so hard getting through all the laws and the the you know just even hiring a lawyer to set up your corporation and hiring people and payroll and you know and then you get sued and so starting a business is insanely hard but coming up with an idea for a business has always been cheap and free and easy that just reversed because with AI you'll be able to start a company just by telling your AI to do it we're not there but maybe by next year you'll be able to say hey startup AI I got an idea I need you to make an app and the app should do this and that and then I want you to form a corporation around it so contact the lawyer or act as the lawyer fill out the forms you know I'll just sign things I'll answer questions and sign things but you're going to do all the work you're going to set up my Corporation you're going to set up the payroll you know you're going to hire if you need anybody but you probably won't need anybody because buddy it's just me and you so it's just me and the AI but the AI will do everything all the legal stuff the lawyers the accounting everything it'll it'll make sure you don't violate any state laws it'll pay your taxes they'll do all of it and what I would do is come up with the idea so it's Shifting The Power from great implementers and I would say Elon Musk is a great implementor to great ideas did Elon Musk come up with the idea of the electric car no no he did not but he's the greatest implementor we've ever seen did he come up with the idea of hey Rocky ships would be good for a variety of reasons no he did not did not invent that but he implemented better than anybody ever has you know Nur you know neuralink implementation uh starlink implementation buying X and fixing everything firing 80% of the staff implementation right so implementation makes you the richest person in the world and should and should that's all deserved however imagine if I can wake up in the morning and say you know what I've got an idea for an app form a company AI write that app and let's test it with a few people and I could actually just come up with hundreds of ideas over the course of maybe a few years try every one of them or at least to the point of having a you know viable testable product to see if anybody's excited and it should create the value in the creative people and this is the the weird part I contend that my generation is special special in one specific way we were born and we grew up before phones so our brains are developed before the smartphone gave us all the productivity and gave us all the creativity so we had to come up with creativity and Solutions on our own so I believe my generation developed some um some skills for creativity if only because we sat there alone a lot and not looking at anything do you know how much time I just sat there not looking at anything or doing anything because there wasn't anything to do like just nothing I used to sit on a wall when I was a teenager and pick up the little sticks the Twigs that fell off a tree and I'd watch the traffic in my small town which would be one car every 5 minutes and I would take the bigger sticks and I break them into smaller pieces and when I was done with that I would uh get another stick and I could do that for an hour because there was nothing else to do I would be in my room trying to spin a basketball in my finger because I didn't have anything else to do I learned to juggle just nothing else to do but now I've been uh you know immersed in technology so I was old enough to to be to have a brain that was created pre- technology but I was young enough that I was completely immersed in technology in my whole work career so that's unique and now I'm still young enough but just barely because you know I'm really past my expiration but I'm staying healthy so far I'm one of the people who has a full creative structure in my head and I've got enough wewi all with technology that I should be able to be one of the few people you know small sliver of people who could use Ai and add creativity my belief is that we've lost our ability to be creative because we're more we're more consumers and less creators yeah if you don't have a a phone you create because you create your own consumption come up with a thought think about it that's your entertainment but if it just coming to you there's no thinking you're just create you know your creative muscle is basically atrophied so I believe that as AI gets better the creative muscle in humans will atrophy it will just let the AI do it but there'll be a thin sliver of time in which I can quickly become the richest person on Earth simply by coming up with ideas that are higher quality ideas than young people are able to do but I also would have the ability to instantly Implement through AI none of that's going to happen but it's an interesting thought so the the only thing I want you to remember is that there's a inversion where implementation used to be everything and now it might be nothing so it might make the idea the valuable thing for the first time in history the idea has never been the important thing except maybe the wheel you know because you could implement it yourself with a you know carving a stone or something all right um so prosan is dead but they think his troll Farms live on and there's more priming us that Russia is going to influence the elections huh who would want to Prime us to believe that the elections were being influenced toward Trump oh yeah all the bad guys who if Trump wins they're going to say it was Russia collusion and they're going to try to overthrow the election and say it wasn't fair because Russia interfered so they're setting you up for that uh I don't believe there's any evidence that any Russian troll Farms make any difference in our elections there's no evidence that made any any difference the last time in 2020 anyway um so I don't think it'll make a difference this time this is the fake data season this is the season where all of the economic will make it look as though everything is working great because the Democrats control the government the government comes up with the the data and believe it or not uh the data is going to make it look like the economy is doing well well surprised some data came out and it looks like inflation is slowing down well I think we can thank Joe Biden for that now for your amusement uh you know a lot of you believe that Joe Biden has been replaced by AI because he looks and acts and walks like he's AI may you know maybe a version 3.5 GPT sort of AI not really a good one but uh I proved that he was actually um he's mechanical and the way I did it was I reverse engineered him to find his code I did I reverse engineered President Biden and I found out the code behind all of his communication and I'm going to show you on the Whiteboard um the the form that he uses I'll show you some examples so this is the reverse engineered Biden code and so this is just a formula sort of like an algorithm and you you can uh populate it with any number of contents but it's always the same inform so he starts with an outrageous lie about anything and then he justifies the lie with what I call a hollow because it means he uses the word because but what comes after the word because is nonsense or incomplete but then he just keeps talking so that you don't have time to like think about it too much but it sounded like there was a reason and then he sometimes adds a weird emphasis so that his Nonpoint sounds like it was a point let me give you an example so the LIE might be well inflation was 25,000 under Trump but I got it down to zero and then you add the fake because because of all the bomic policies have I mentioned infrastructure now if you want to add that if you want to make it stronger you you do it joh Pierre K whoever she is what she does she adds weird emphasis Joe does this too but he does a different one so I'm going to add the weird emphasis to make it sound like the hollow because actually says something all right you ready uh the GDP is up 25,000 f% and that's because of biomics and because of my policies and have I mentioned the infrastructure and it's because of policies the policies see if you just said every everything got better because of my policies you're like H I'm not even hearing the reason but if you say it with weird emphasis then people will think they heard a reason when there's not one there no the reason that unemployment is zero for black people the reason it's zero for black people is the Biden economic policies the policies infrastructure infrastructure see now Joe does the weird emphasis with a whisper or sometimes a dementia yell so that so that would go this way GDP is up 500% because of the Biden policies see that's the whisper whisper thing but he could also do because I love policies you know his his dementia yell so pretty much everything will fall this outrageous lie Hollow because with no explanations with weird emphasis and that's that's a Biden robot right there you can build it yourself well RFK Jr is growing in support I saw a uh he's got his new VP and uh Douglas Mc.

Kinnon was writing that uh RFK Jr has a higher favorability rating than both Biden and Trump now you know Trump of course has his Loyalists and they're not going to go anywhere but it's kind of interesting that the third party is more favorable than both of the major candidates uh RFK is also the favorite among voters under 35 wouldn't that be exactly the people that Biden has pretty much owned that feels like a mortal blow to the Biden um campaign and uh he's gaining rapidly among minorities so basically RFK Jr is a a threat to the strongest strongholds of the Democrat Party and he doesn't have to take many of them away because remember Trump on his own is already is already scooping up a lot of minority voters so if you had RFK Jr what's left for Biden just young single women who are getting punched in the face so basically Biden's entire demographic core is going to be young women who get punched in the face that's not much to run on I I will lead you the people who are getting punched in the face because of my policies see what I did there um so it looks like the uh Democrats are going to have to uh jail Trump and keep RFK Jr off the ballot to win and protect democracy um they're doing a lot to protect democracy for example oh by the way before I give you that um I saw Benny Johnson was reporting that the judge's daughter in that Alvin brag case so the judge's daughter has a photo of Donald Trump Behind Bars and in a jail cell as her profile picture so Fair trial coming up so that's a judge who has to go back to his own daughter and explain why Trump isn't in jail his own family will give him a terrible time presumably if he doesn't put Trump in jail or find finded against him in the hardest possible way so do you think that that case is anything like oh I don't know Fair Justice or anything like that well let's put this all together into one statement um so it looks like Biden is trying to protect democracy that's going to be his uh his play and he's going to protect democracy uh just effect as effectively as he comes up with nicknames so he came up with broke down and caused Trump to make9 billion and he's going to protect democracy and the way he's going to do it he's he's going to keep RFK Jr off the ballot they've created a whole organization just to do that he's going to use corrupt prosecutors and judges to put Trump in jail to protect democracy he's going to use government funded entities to censor Republicans and manipulate the news for democracy while servicing the military industrial complex for democracy and taking away your guns for democracy Now there that's how you save your democracy am I right now you're probably laughing and saying Scott Those seem like the opposite of saving democ y but do you like Freedom you like Freedom don't you if you want freedom Biden is your one because after he's done all of that um in a Janice Joplin kind of way you'll finally be free because freedoms just another word for Nothing Left to Lose they would take your candidate away they will take your guns away they will take your free speech away they will take your access to accurate information away they'll take your RFK Jr away and after they've taken everything away and you can only walk down the street getting punched in the face you'll finally be free because you'll have nothing else to lose now you say to yourself but Scott at least I can enjoy some nice food no food's giving you cancer no you have nothing left to lose you say well at least I can scroll through my phone no no mental illness can't scroll through your phone just going to make things worse right well at least I can go outside well if you do you better put on your sunscreen if you're going to go outside put on your sunscreen sunscreen might kill you people say from the chemicals so you'll die if you go in the sun or you don't go in the sun because you won't have enough vitamin so basically you've got lots of options is what I'm saying wear your mask lawyer John East looks like he's going to get disbarred for helping Trump in the fake Insurrection that the Democrats who saving democracy have convinced you actually happened now one of the ways that the Democrats saved democracy is that they threw away some of the testimonies that would have uh have been uh let's say helpful to Trump and the other J Sixers so they're helping democracy with a show trial in which they throw away the exculpatory information to save democracy I feel a lot safer in fact right now um since I'm being completely censored from all contact with Democrats don't I feel safer of course I do and Freer because now that I don't have ability to broadcast to people who might be change have their minds Changed by anything I say um I feel much Freer much Freer Nothing Left to Lose well the simulation has been tapping us on the shoulder and kicking Us in the shin and grabbing Us by the balls and saying are you paying attention this is a simulation how do I know well it couldn't wink any harder here's an example The Daily Show has been you know as you know resurrected with John Stewart and somebody decided that the best way to decorate his entire set is behind him it has the words The Daily Show but surrounding him on his desk and on the side walls and everywhere else they've abbreviated it to TDs so yes I swear this is true John Stewart sits among uh a 100 acronyms that say TDS and then presents TDS in the real world I swear to God that's happening now you tell me we're not in the simulation seriously you're watching Trump embark on the third Act of all third acts exactly as I told you he would and you don't think we live in a simulation have you ever seen me change the world watch the comments have you ever seen me change the world how is that possible well I'll do it again so there's a story in Yahoo news um about a Utah gubinatorial candidate Phil Lyman and I guess he said some things about the bridge collapse and he referenced you know diversity and Dei now I do not think that the British collapse is caused by any diversity or Dei you know they don't know exactly what the problem is but I think that's the least likely possibility you know some are still saying it might be some kind of a Cyber attack I wouldn't rule it out but I think by far the most likely is just happens and sometimes it happens when you're near a bridge that's my guess now I could be easily talked out of that you it wouldn't take much more information to to be convinced it was a Cyber attack you know I'm sort of 6040 that it was just an accident I'm at zero that it was anything racial I don't see any evidence of that but back to this story The you the Utah gubinatorial hul Phil Lyman um I think more that he was just you know uh he was bolstering a story that he's against Dei and was using it as an example probably wasn't the best example but in the process of doing a hit piece on him Yahoo news mentioned that one of the teror things this poor guy did this Phil Lyman who's running for Utah governor and if you can believe this this bad behavior it was so bad that they needed to call it out in the article and you know people live complicated lives but they found one of the worst things he's ever done and I feel bad even bringing it up because you know poor Phil Lyman he doesn't deserve this but since it's been reported I feel you know I feel I can I mention it well this poor guy this really happened he reposted one of my posts on X yeah yeah now if you saw a story in which a major part of the story was that this guy my God how could he he uh posted one of my posts now how did they describe that let me check their exact wording they said uh they describe me as the Gilbert cartoonist Gilbert with a G the Gilbert cartoonist and I was called a conservative commentator repunit all right so the two things they described about me are completely wrong I'm not the Gilbert cartoonist and I'm not conservative the the times that I agree with conservatives are every time they say something that's obvious and you know it's just obvious right am I a conservative because I like strong border control well according to them if I don't want if I don't want massive migration uncontrolled what if I don't want my government to be massively censoring the citizens well what am I some kind of conservative reactionary like what what exactly is the policy that they could look C to call me a conservative because every single thing that I agree with conservatives on and it's a pretty long list of things I agree with they're all just common sense I don't take any religious take on anything right I have no religious point of view so how do you call me a conservative so here's your news now do you remember the uh I talk about the G man Theory G man noticed that whenever there was a story about physics his expertise he knew it was all wrong but then he would read the next story that wasn't his expertise and he would forget to question it because he thought well it's in the news probably true then one day he realized wait a minute if 100% of the things I know about are wrong what does that say about the rest of the news and of course that was the Insight that unlocked everything of course it's all fake look at this example it's a story in which I'm a central player of the story and the only two things they said about me are dead wrong now that got through editors it wasn't just a writer it got through editors probably more than one anyway here's the bigger part of the story so I've been saving the big part of the story imagine if you will I'm a central part of the story and it's being used to line this one individual Phil Lyman don't you think that if you're going to mention that he reposted my post what's the minimum logical thing you would do if the story is about something I posted and it was on the topic of Dei what's the minimum you would do you would link to it am I right you would link to it now suppose you didn't want to give me any attention cuz I'm the Gilbert cartoonist and a conservative and they don't like that so suppose you didn't want me to get any extra clicks well it's just a post wasn't that long I mean it was a long thread but you know maybe it'd be a quarter of a page they could just copy and paste it because because that would be fair use if you're talking about it you can publish it in hole you knew that right there's no copyright problem if you're doing a story about it you can just publish it in whole you couldn't do it with a whole book but you can do it with something something short so now you say to yourself but Scott they probably had a lot of things they didn't link to nope it it was an article in which every paragraph had a link to find out more about something in the paragraph every paragraph there were like 12 links to external things and yet a core part of the story was my post no link let me tell you why there was no link to it because they read it yeah that the post is is my highly viral post maybe the most persuasive thing I've ever written and maybe the most persuasive thing that's ever been written big claim well that's called persuasion I'm actually giving you uh a challenge I don't think anything has ever been more persuasive because it was the sum of everything I've learned all my life put into one piece and I didn't hold anything back and it was about how Dei is basically a female strategy and that for a men you just look pathetic if you say hey my discrimination held me back if you're a man it just looks pathetic I don't care if it's true but but it's true I don't care I got problems too why is your problem special but for a female strategy victimization can work you can actually get things fixed by complaining if men do it they can sometimes get things fixed but we don't respect them ever again so it's not really a good tradeoff so it's so persuasive in my um personal opinion and I think you'll agree that that's the reason it's got 1.1 million views is because people agree if you look at the comments they're unlike anything I've ever done most of the comments are something like it's the best thing you've ever done most of them that's a weird thing because you don't get that comment on just a good post it's very rare that most of the comments say it's the best thing you've ever done when you know I've written 50 books so that's that's really special so it's so dangerous apparently that Yahoo news won't link to it now I'm going to tell you the real reason they don't link to it is just that it would destroy their entire entire narrative that's why it's that dangerous but I'm completely controlled because I'm siloed I'm siloed not just that nobody wanders in accidentally and sees my stuff but even when there's a a a major entity Yahoo news I would call the major news entity even when they do a story about it they Silo Me by not I'm the only thing they didn't link to are you Blown Away by that or is that just because it's me that I'm blown away maybe I'm just two inside my own head here is that does that tell you something that's like meaningful for the rest of you or am I just talking about myself I can't tell this might be just too much inside baseball anyway I'll look at your comments about that uh Pennsylvania Court ruled in favor of signature verification for mail in voting why the hell is that a story it's a story that the Court ruled that you do the most basic thing to make sure the election is not rigged what what why in the world was that even important like we we live in a world in which strengthening uh voter security is somehow controversial that's controversial wow and then I saw a uh opinion piece by John rolon from the Rolston reports not familiar with them but apparently he wrote a column and he reup it so we could see and he says uh in the wake of the Mc.

Daniel hiring firing people seem to forget the issue here has no equivalent so he's talking about the 2020 January 6 stuff has no equivalent he said you deny the 2020 election you should be shunned you can and should uh Trump you should be able to platform Trump backers in other words MSNBC you know should be able to put a trump backer on there but not an insurrectionist not not an insurrectionist that now that's too far that's too far and and the reason that he has this opinion is that he believes it's a fact that the election was not rigged how can you be so brainwashed that you think it's possible to know who won an election how does that even happen that is strong brainwashing but imagine putting him in the room with me and he makes this claim that people like me should be shunned for imagining that this election was not perfectly fair to which I would say to him how would you know if it was fair or it wasn't and he would say dumb things like the courts didn't find a problem and I would say what school did you go to where you learn that not finding something by looking in the wrong place tells you that there's nothing there so I would like to give a demonstration of proving that automobiles don't exist would you like to see it I can prove it watch this my proof that automobiles don't exist I don't see any n no automobiles under my shirt how about this drawer searching searching no automobiles proof there are no automobiles under my shirt there are no automobil in my desk drawer QED there are no automobiles in existence they're all imaginary now is there something wrong with this individual's brain like organically they can't figure this out on their own or is this purely brainwashing now if it's brainwashing IQ is not a variable this is one of the hardest things for people people to understand IQ and being smart and even being well informed won't help you from being brainwashed do do you think that when uh Patty Hurst was taken by the Symbian Liberation Army and and basically brainwashed was it because she had a low IQ I she probably didn't I mean I don't know anything about her but I doubt she was just sort of naturally d no there is absolutely no correlation between intelligence and how easily you can be hypnotized in fact the evidence anecdotally for hypnotists is that it's easier to hypnotize a smart person because they they let their guard down because they think they can't be hypnotized that they just don't assume that it happens to them they assume it's only something that happens to dumb people so they don't have any defense it just goes right through but do you think that John Rolston is aware that there is no mechanism and nobody's even tried to create a mechanism to know if an election is fair that's unknowable by Design if it were a paper ballots and every paper ballot was counted by both teams so there was a Democrat that counted every ballot at the same time a republican counted every ballot that would be I would say that I could call that election Fair because it would be designed for me to acquire that information so if you say Scott do you think this is fair I say' well how did you do the election well it was all paper ballots it was all same day we checked all their IDs and then every single thing was counted by two people at the same time and when they got to 10 they would check the count all right did you have eight bidens and two trumps yes okay continue do the next 10 that way you're audited instantly you're instantly audited because two teams got the same number and they stopped every 10 and then they went on right so so you could design a system where you would say to me I know it's really complicated and there's all these precincts and you can't watch them all and who knows but this was our system if they told me that and I knew that was really the system I would say yeah yeah you know what I'm going to treat that as a fact because you built a system that would produce information to allow me to say it's a fact the current system produces nonsense nonsense I can't even tell where the where the vote is wait is my vote in the in The Ballot Box or is it in the machine that created the paper are they counting the paper or is the machine count or they comparing it then it goes into some kind of ballot count counting machine tabulator what's that all about then where then where does the electronic signal go for any of that and how do they transmit it and what what computers are involved and how many entities how many state lines does it cross how many International borders does it cross what is the susceptibility to hacking it's designed so you can't tell who won it's pretty obvious well when you imagine how easy it would be to design out all possibility of and then you look what we built instead I think that removes all doubt doesn't it so to argue whether a vote was or was not rigged is the stupid argument I'm sorry because I know a lot of you make the argument it's obvious it was rigged that's the dumb argument if only because you can't sell it it's an unsellable argument nobody's buying it so why do it but if you say to somebody look at the design look at what it could be then look what it is and look that we know we have a credibility problem so it's not like we don't have a problem and it's the biggest problem in the country and and no effort whatsoever to fix it there's only one conclusion right you see how easy it is to fix things you want to fix Ronda Sansa shows you every day that he can fix things that need to be fixed fairly efficiently yeah so it can be done so don't be shunning those election deniers uh instead of being an election denier be an election system analyst am I am I a election denier no I'm a system analyst and I found a system that can't tell you who won that's it you do not have an argument for that this is a system that by its design can't tell you who it can give you a result which I accepted immediately and never changed my mind because I do think that cheating is built into the system so whoever cheats them their way to a win well they got the win unfortunately that's the system so when I accepted the result immediately it had nothing to do with my suspicions about the quality of the election it's just that was our system and we allowed it to run we all watched it and we that's system so I hate to say it but Joe yeah Joe Biden was elected by our system and I accepted it and I've never changed my mind yeah he he guesses four years I guess he'll get another one maybe if if they find a way to make it happen all right ladies and gentlemen that is all I have for your Collective uh interest I'm going to uh leave the locals people on this feed the subscribers who get a little extra and then I'm going to say bye for now to the rest of you and I'll see you tomorrow in the morning same place same time e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e for

[Music]

good morning everybody and welcome to

the highlight of human civilization it's

called coffee with Scott Adams and um

pretty sure there's never been a better

day in your life but suppose you wanted

to take it up to new levels levels that

nobody had ever seen before what would

you do then well I have a suggestion I

say in a Biden whisper

all you need for that is a cuper a

Mugger a glass a tanker chalice or Ste a

canteen jugg or flask a vessel of any

kind fill with your favorite liquid I

like coffee and join me now for the

unparallel pleasure the dopamine head of

the day the thing that makes everything

better it's called simultanous up it

happens

now

go so no video some people are saying

no video you say

interesting interesting cuz I can see

myself audio is

working video is working

now no video some say videos

back videos

back all right we're all good now right

everybody's happy all right good we're

going to launch into the best show

you've seen this morning it involves a a

whiteboard there will be a

whiteboard and uh let's just jump right

into

it one of the good things about uh doing

the dilber comic on my own instead of

having a publisher is that I can do it

faster and so this week uh squatters

have moved into uh the cubicles in um

Dilbert's

workplace so Ted will be the first one

who is replaced by a squatter and the

the rules of the state the boss to give

the salary and benefits from Ted to the

squatters who took over his

cubicle and uh and so it goes if you'd

like to see that you'd have to be a

member of locals Scott adams. locals.com

or subscribe to Dilbert reborn on

X anyway uh here's some good news

they're restarting a nuclear plant plant

in Michigan so the Biden Administration

I will give them full credit for this

that allow me to be non political for a

moment Biden Administration uh putting a

$1.5 billion loan to restart a Michigan

nuclear power plant hello good job good

job government I'm sure it could have

been faster and better like everything

in the world but if you're moving in the

right direction I'm going to call it out

and yes this is the right thing would

the Trump Administration have done the

same thing probably probably because I

think it's just

time and I would like to take another

Victory lap for those of us who work so

hard to move that

Battleship um from saying that nuclear

is bad to nuclear is the thing that will

save the world from every energy problem

we

have so another call down to Mark

Schneider Michael shellenberger Zion

lights and everybody who helped on that

that do you realize that that was

literally a Grassroots

change in

Civilization that there were specific

individuals and there weren't there

weren't that many of them probably just

a handful of people who collectively use

persuasion and a tremendous amount of

energy there there may have been some

Financial backing from just

citizens

and and the entire the

entire thing

changed I don't even know the last time

I saw anybody negative on nuclear can

you remember the last time you saw a

negative nuclear story in the

press or anything negative except that

they were closing right so everything's

changed and that was people people did

that so that's kind of

impressive well there's a new report

that says uh uh that there's a there's a

compound found in cinnamon that might be

the cure for baldness

uh they caution you you can't get the

benefit by eating a bunch of cinnamon

you wouldn't be able to eat enough

cinnamon to do that but uh Yep they're

going to cure

boldness you know if they reverse aging

and cure boldness and I can put a chip

in my head to cure my eyesight

and fix all of those other aches and

pains I think I'm going to live forever

yeah yeah I'm going to have a full head

of hair any minute now I think it's the

weirdest thing that we're trying to cure

hair now I don't know if anybody can

back me on this but being bald is way

better than you

think do you know how much time I don't

spend on my

hair yeah it's it's a it's a really

tough mental thing to get past because

you say to yourself ah lost my hair all

my verality is gone you know women will

not like me I will be teased for my hair

but it turns out if you go to the gym

and shave your damn head you actually

come out

AE just go to the gym shave your stupid

head and never worry about combing your

hair again it's really kind of awesome

you know it's one of those things which

you wouldn't ask for you nobody would

say please make me

bald but it does turn out to be better

than not bald it literally is better if

as long as you go to the gym if you

don't go to the gym it's it's just

adding one bad thing to another bad

thing but as long as you go to the

gym bald works

perfectly all right they Babylon B is

reporting that uh Rond DeSantis has been

kicked out of the Republican Party wow

what did he do kicked down the

Republican party for H accomplishing too

many

things accomplishing too many things I

think the last STW was when he

immediately uh responded to the public

outcry about squatting and immediately

changed the law so squatters don't have

rights in Florida and everybody said

that was a great job but now you got to

go I'm sorry you got to leave you're

making everybody look stupid by

accomplishing things oh Ronda santis you

think you're going to be such a showoff

by accomplishing things well we've had

enough of you

sir sit

down go to the back we've had enough of

this accomplishing things that the

public wants we won't put up with this

well Katherine herriage as you know had

some kind of weird

uh exit from her job as CBS but there is

rumor that she's negotiating with X to

be on the

xplatform how awesome would that

be to to me that would

be probably the single most important

thing that happened on

X since the

Takeover and and I say that because she

has such a good reputation as a solid

investigative journalist that having run

the platform would be very different

from adding Don Lemon to the

platform

right because you know Katherine

herriage is not noted as anybody who's

in the bag for one side she seems to be

straight down the middle so that would

be a huge boost to The credibility but I

have a

question as Elan musk has pointed out a

few times the traditional media is

taking a big hit in viewership it's down

like 20% a year while X clicks are up

and but you've all noticed that a lot of

the traffic at least the political

traffic and news related traffic it

links back to the news

so what would happen if the traditional

news just went away I don't think it can

because they need it for propaganda but

if x became the only good place to get

news because it's the only place you

trusted it would the others go away or

would they just devolve more into the

propagandists that they are I think they

would just devolve more that's my guess

but anyway it's a big that's a big deal

I hope they make that

deal um so poor step Crowder as you know

his divorce situation is public and I'm

not going to get into the you know the

who did what part but there's a a story

that's bigger than the story the story

is about the people

observing so there's a whole bunch of

people observing uh a divorce in which

the wife was not uh working and the

husband had made a ton of money

especially recently and uh they had to

work out the financials cuz there's no

predom and I guess it's not super

friendly or as friendly as it could be

and so Tim p and others are watching in

horror uh as they're learning they're

learning for the first time that uh the

husband has to pay his

opponent to take his

money so the the the court will charge

the husband because he's the one with

the assets for the legal services of

both the husband and the wife I mean the

husband will get his own um attorney but

the wife will get her attorney she'll

pick it on her own and then she'll use

the husband's money to extend the

lawsuit because the lawyer for the

wife uh is going to want to keep it

going as long as possible because that

person gets paid by the hour so the wife

will get this you will hire the lawyer

from hell and and just torture the

husband for extra money until he just

psychologically gives up and writes a

big check and can't stand paying the

can't stand paying his opponent to

negotiate how long can you pay your

opponent for negotiating with you there

there's some point where you just can't

do it like your brain just says I can't

pay people to take my money it's bad

enough they're going to take my money

but I can't pay them to take my money

like that's just too far now anyway the

bigger story here is that the whole uh

Enterprise of marriage and divorce is a

really poorly designed system I'm not

going to take sides in this specific

divorce because we don't know enough and

it's not fair and I wish them well and

we don't know what's going on and any

judgment that we make about what they

are doing or not doing completely

inappropriate but the but the larger

story that people watching it are

horrified at the system they're not

they're not horrified at what the people

are doing people are kind of working the

way you do within the system it's all

it's all ugly anyway that really needs

to be fixed but I don't have any ideas

for doing

it there's a weird and alarming trend of

women in New York City doing selfy

videos showing that they had just gotten

punched randomly while walking down the

street now I don't know yet is this

really a thing or were there just three

examples of it and we think it's a thing

but there are I just watched three

videos of young women in New York who

said they were just walking down the

street and somebody walked up and

punched them in the head and now they

got a big black eye or bump on their

head or something

now I don't know if that's really a

trend or a weird little blip

statistically but I will tell you this

if you're having any conversation on the

topic of young women being punched in

the face randomly because I walked down

the city

street that's when you should reexamine

your strategy for

success and I'll say it

again that the Democrat strategy for

Success focuses on

victimization and fixing it and that's a

female

strategy because if a man complains

about the little things that are holding

him back he looks pathetic and it's not

exactly the

the way men were evolved we were evolved

to run into an obstacle and then die

trying to get rid of

it pound on it with our head stab it

with a knife shoot it with a gun do

something but but you don't get you

don't stop because you had a complaint

you know it doesn't matter you got a

sniffle or a limp or a or uh you know

massive discrimination you don't stop

you just keep

[Music]

in your terribly destructive worldview

that victimization is should be the

primary motivator of everything what

what would be if you were designing the

simulation how would you let's say wake

up

people

well I would have them being punched in

the face on a regular basis which by the

way I'm not in favor of so don't want to

act I don't want to act happy that

anybody's getting punched in the face

that's all bad we don't want anybody to

get punched in

face but it's hard to

avoid the fact that we live in a

simulation and it's telling us hey hey I

have something to tell you about the

quality of your political preferences

really what is it

bam I'd like to have a second

conversation because it looks like you

didn't hear me the first time about what

your political preferences would you

like to talk about them well all right

bam now how many times do you have to

get punched in the face before you start

saying hey maybe it's something I'm

doing I I wonder if I wonder if somehow

my actions are in any

way related to the outcomes number one

get the out of any City where

you're getting punched in the face

walking down the streets get the

out of

there that's number one number two

examine your

voting just give it a second look that

that's I don't give a lot of

advice but I'm going to make an

exception if your political

preferences cause you a young woman to

be randomly punched in the face because

you went

outoors just just take a pause just look

at the big picture just ask yourself is

there anything wor doing that we could

do differently that would make fewer

people get punched in the

face it's all ask just rethink it there

was a study in the UK on uh

representation of black people in

advertising so over in the

UK uh they did very well very well in

diversity so in the advertisements they

looked at over a two-month period and

found that 37% of the advertisements

featured uh black people in the

advertisements very good job how good

it's like the best job I've ever seen

because the black percentage of people

in the UK is 3% so although black people

in the UK are 3% they are 37% of all

advertisement and I think we could all

say that's a huge

success you know I feel that I've

reached equity and equality

already because once 3% of the

population is 37% of the advertis M I

feel like everything's now

equal so well not totally I still have

to pay a few trillion dollars and

reparations but I think that's just

fair there is a new film that I guess is

debuting only on X Grace price is the

producer and uh I didn't watch it but

the teaser seems to suggest that cancer

in this country is maybe being triggered

by our

food

supply do you think you would see that

documentary in let's say one of the

major

networks probably not because they take

their advertisement from the food

industry um now there might be some of

that advertisement on X but probably not

so X by being boycotted by

advertisers uh at least to some

degree um becomes maybe the only safe

place you can put on a documentary that

would challenge one of our biggest

industries so I don't have an opinion

about the accuracy of the documentary

and remember there's always a

documentary effect if you watch any

documentary with any point of view by

the time you're done you will think it's

all

true doesn't mean it's true it just

means you saw one point of view for an

hour if you see one point of view for an

hour you're you're going to be persuaded

because they not going to show you any

counter evidence so be careful about

that but my every part of my instinct

does say that our food supply is

poisoning us and causing cancer and

um oh wow she was an 18-year-old girl

wow so she says it's a story of how I

and 18-year-old girls spent two years

relentlessly searching for the true

cause of cancer and yeah the true cause

so you know there's a genetic component

to cancer of course but then there's the

lifestyle triggers so she went looking

for the triggers that will be very

interesting uh Greg

Abbott U issued an executive order that

the Texas Colleges and universities

should you know look at all their uh

rules and make sure that uh that

they're they're sort of anti-

anti-Semitism so they're trying to

reduce anti-Semitism in the Texas

universities and so Greg Abbott did

these executive orders and uh people

like Christopher

rufo who says he's you know very

committed to the fight against

anti-Semitism as all of us should

be um it says why are you calling out

this one

group

oh that's a good question shouldn't the

rules be uh looked at to make sure that

100% of all people are free from anti

everything that in other words there's

no group that gets discriminated against

why do do you need to call out one

particular group is it because that one

particular group is the subject to the

most

discrimination no that's not why that is

not why because if it was based on the

most discrimination they would have

already done an executive order to stop

discriminating against white people

white people and men have been by far

the most obviously discriminated people

and and Asians asian-americans in

colleges so there are a couple of groups

that are by far more discriminated but

at the moment anti-Semitism is sort of

at a crisis level so I do understand why

he felt the need to

respond but it is a very good

question why do you ever need to pick

out one group if it's a general rule for

your population it should be don't do it

to anybody there's no

exceptions but I but I understand you

Wen wer a special time in

place and uh Governor Abbot felt he

needed to respond to that I feel that

was more a political um response than a

good government

response well let me put it in another

way I don't think DeSantis would have

done this what do you think so DeSantis

is sort of setting the standard for what

a good Governor looks like you know no

if you want it and it's

important and you know the science

supports it we're going to do it

he's a competitive

bastard whatever nickname you give him

it's going to be like hey let's call him

small penis Dawn I swear to God his

penis eyes would double in the next day

yeah he's he's just a winner he's just a

winner that's just in case any

anti-trumpers wandered into the show Ju

Just to really give them a heart attack

and make them hate me extra

well I was just saying on the man cave

the other day and it's worth repeating

how telephones have ruined

movies you you you've noticed that it's

impossible to watch a movie that all

movies are just garbage now now some of

it is the wokeness we talked about that

a lot but here's another phenomenon I

remember going to the movies let's say

in the 60s when I was a kid in the 70s

and the 80s and it always felt the same

the movie would have would open with

something terrible happening to somebody

somebody would lose a job or their

family would be slaughtered when they

went out to the grocery store something

horrible would happen but then during

the course of the movie you know the the

the antagonist the hero would would

Prevail and then you would get this

relief at the end it's like ah it' be

like a dopamine relief so not only did

he watch a good movie with lots of good

scenes but but that because they

depressed your dopamine with the bad

news at the front when they released it

you're like oh yeah pretty good so

here's how phones ruined

that if I'm looking at reals or Tik toks

you know the little videos that the

algorithm that I want if you look at a

15 second reel and you compare the

dopamine you get from 15 seconds to any

15 seconds of a three-hour movie any 15

seconds which would be a better dopamine

hit

the real not sometimes every time

because there's no 15sec slice of any

movie that gives you much of a dopamine

hit I mean most of it's just connecting

tissue it's like we you need to know

this to move it along here's another car

chase yawn another guy tied to a chair

to be tortured yawn another sex scene to

show you that the characters really

really do love each other yawn fast

forward

so how in the world can a movie compete

when every 15-second slice is inferior

to every every 15c slice when I'm slice

looking through my

phone now worse than that there's

another bigger effect I used to be able

to easily handle watching somebody's

family get slaughtered in the first part

of a movie now of course because it was

fiction but also for some reason my

Constitution in my brain could sort of

handle some bad

news I was strong enough that like I

needed to artificially take down my mood

just so I could artificially feel the

difference when they raised it

later but what happens in 2024 if you

walk into a theater and the first scene

is horrible damage and terrible things

happening to somebody that you're going

to care about later you just don't want

to watch it I literally want to just

walk up walk out right away it's it's

intolerable so I can't I can't handle a

big dopamine drop and I don't know if

it's because the environment has changed

it's more complicated something about my

phone but I cannot handle bad news in a

movie because my brain is saying why

would you watch 15 minutes of somebody

being tortured when every single flip of

my phone is better than every second of

every movie it's it's just there's no

competition anymore I don't I don't

think movies can survive I don't see any

way that can happen we keep talking

about how AI is going to make it easy to

make a movie I'm gonna I'm going to give

you the counter prediction AI will make

movies useless and

worthless so once you take the money out

of it because let's say anybody can make

a movie nobody's going to want to watch

that movie you made how how many clips

of AI have you seen as like examples of

how AI can make a a 15-second clip and

it's so good and I watched some of those

15 second Clips I go oh that's sort of

interesting

but when was the last time you went to a

movie and then gushed about these

special

effects I don't remember the last time

but when Star Wars was knew you did

right it was like mind-blowing wow you

got a little dopamine hit just seeing

what they could do was a dopamine hit

but now there's no dopamine hit because

they can do everything so imagine you're

watching a movie and it's not the first

time you've ever seen Ai and there's a

character walking through a complicated

cityscape it's all done by AI are you

still

impressed no because it's not the first

year of AI the first year is all pretty

amazing by the second year it's just

what's there it's just background so

you're not going to watch want to watch

the movie because you're not going to

want to watch any movie because there

won't be any movie with a 3X structure

no matter who makes it humans or AI

nobody cares but in the short run the

movie makers because they still make

money they can kind of force you to see

a movie by brainwashing

you literally what we're still at that

point where if the advertising is good

enough we all have to watch

it you it's like you're forced to Dune

to I don't want to watch watched Dune

2 but the advertising got me I know I'm

not going to like it I know I'm not even

though it's exactly the kind of thing I

used to love you know good sci-fi movie

but no so yes phones ruin movies and

there's no coming

back we keep talking about uh the causes

of kids being more depressed and having

mental health problems we always think

ah it's the phones it's the phones it's

the phones and I think it's it's mostly

the phones but I think we're leaving out

the fact that it's

everything if we concentrate on the one

thing it's you know we're going to lose

everything else I think the thing making

kids young people depressed and anxious

is the food suppli is bad the there may

be environmental pollutants that have an

effect it's the phones of course it's a

bad adult

advice on everything um how about the

homework does any have a teenager who

does four hours of homework a night how

how do you be happy if you have four

hours of homework every school night and

at least one night on the weekend that's

actually normal in my town that's normal

four

hours six nights a

week and that might be on top of a sport

or something so that they're getting to

bed at midnight so they're getting no

sleep and then when they go to bed at

midnight they pick up their phone cuz

they they need an hour of phone before

they go to sleep so

homework if you took out you know the

food pollution and you took out the

phones and the only thing you did was

make kids do four hours of homework a

night they would all be anxious

depressed and unhappy that's all now

that's just one

thing the food is definitely killing

them making them fat and unhealthy and

feeling unsexy and dropping their

testosterone and everything else um the

homework this the bullies the social

media the and then there's the mass

hysteria in the

news when I was a kid I distinctly

remember getting a mental health problem

from being told that we were going to

get nuked by the Soviet Union maybe any

minute now like I actually had a bomb

shelter in my basement which my father

thought could be done with cinder

blocks that'll stop that

radiation so and we the you know Duck

and Cover things for a nuclear attack

all that crazy stuff so I actually know

what it feels like to be part of a mass

hysteria now in that case it might have

been a real risk so I'm not sure if it's

a if the false part is true but the

hysteria was certainly true now we have

the same thing with climate

change if you were a kid today you're

being told that climate change will

destroy your world in your lifetime in

your lifetime and there's no way

back what would you do if all the

parents all of them every every TV show

because they're not watching Fox News

right so every time they turn it on it

says your world will be destroyed it

doesn't look like the adults can stop it

you're going to grow into a hellscape uh

we're spending all your money by the way

there's no way you can pay back the debt

and uh probably the terrorists will kill

you all so the news is certainly making

young people

anxious all right as you know Oregon's

looking to back out from their uh

decriminalization of drugs because it

made things much worse so the ODS went

way up when they decriminalized but

there's a little pushback because in

Portugal there's a claim that their

decriminalization worked and the claim

is that uh they did a more comprehensive

job in other words in Portugal uh it

could be de criminalized if you were

doing drugs but they would try to force

you into

treatment apparently in Oregon they

passed some money for treatment and then

they never implemented the treatment

part for whatever reason so they had

decriminalization without any treatment

or extra treatment so I say again I

think it's terrific that there was a a

trial you know that's what the states

are for hey test this see if it works

but that test I don't think you can call

that a good test now I will say uh just

to put a Counterpoint on this I've heard

other people say that the Portugal

success is all fake have you heard that

that the so-called Portugal

decriminalizing drugs we heard it was a

big success but it's all a lie I don't

know what's True by the way I don't know

if it's a big success or a big lie but I

know they did it differently so if they

got different outcomes that would be

useful

all right here's a uh brain flipper for

you we'll get to some more politics in a

minute but uh AI is going to flip the

creativity

implementation um model that has always

been driving our society what I mean by

that is Forever at least in my lifetime

a good idea had no value at all because

we all have good

ideas it's all about the

implementation implementing anything is

just so hard getting through all the

laws and the the you know just even

hiring a lawyer to set up your

corporation and hiring people and

payroll and you know and then you get

sued and so starting a business is

insanely hard but coming up with an idea

for a business has always been cheap and

free and easy that just

reversed because with AI you'll be able

to start a company just by telling your

AI to do it we're not there but maybe by

next year you'll be able to say hey

startup AI I got an idea I need you to

make an app and the app should do this

and that and then I want you to form a

corporation around it so contact the

lawyer or act as the lawyer fill out the

forms you know I'll just sign things

I'll answer questions and sign things

but you're going to do all the work

you're going to set up my Corporation

you're going to set up the payroll you

know you're going to hire if you need

anybody but you probably won't need

anybody because buddy it's just me and

you so it's just me and the AI but the

AI will do everything all the legal

stuff the lawyers the accounting

everything it'll it'll make sure you

don't violate any state laws it'll pay

your taxes they'll do all of it and what

I would do is come up with the

idea so it's Shifting The Power from

great

implementers and I would say Elon Musk

is a great implementor to great

ideas did Elon Musk come up with the

idea of the electric car no no he did

not but he's the greatest implementor

we've ever seen did he come up with the

idea of hey Rocky ships would be good

for a variety of reasons no he did not

did not invent that but he implemented

better than anybody ever has you know

Nur you know neuralink implementation uh

starlink implementation buying X and

fixing everything firing 80% of the

staff

implementation right so implementation

makes you the richest person in the

world and should and should that's all

deserved however imagine if I can wake

up in the morning and say you know what

I've got an idea for an app form a

company AI write that app and let's test

it with a few people and I could

actually just come up with hundreds of

ideas over the course of maybe a few

years try every one of them or at least

to the point of having a you know viable

testable product to see if anybody's

excited and it should create the value

in the creative people and this is the

the weird

part I contend that my generation is

special special in one specific way we

were born and we grew up before

phones so our brains are developed

before the smartphone gave us all the

productivity and gave us all the

creativity so we had to come up with

creativity and Solutions on our own so I

believe my generation developed some um

some skills for

creativity if only because we sat there

alone a lot and not looking at anything

do you know how much time I just sat

there not looking at anything or doing

anything because there wasn't anything

to do like just nothing I used to sit on

a wall when I was a teenager and pick up

the little sticks the Twigs that fell

off a tree and I'd watch the traffic in

my small town which would be one car

every 5 minutes and I would take the

bigger sticks and I break them into

smaller pieces and when I was done with

that I would uh get another

stick and I could do that for an hour

because there was nothing else to do I

would be in my room trying to spin a

basketball in my

finger because I didn't have anything

else to do I learned to

juggle just nothing else to

do but now I've been uh you know

immersed in technology so I was old

enough to to be to have a brain that was

created pre-

technology but I was young enough that I

was completely immersed in technology in

my whole work

career so that's unique and now I'm

still young enough but just barely

because you know I'm really past my

expiration but I'm staying healthy so

far

I'm one of the people who has a full

creative structure in my

head and I've got enough wewi all with

technology that I should be able to be

one of the few people you know small

sliver of people who could use Ai and

add

creativity my belief is that we've lost

our ability to be creative because we're

more we're more consumers and less

creators yeah if you don't have a a

phone you create because you create your

own consumption come up with a thought

think about it that's your entertainment

but if it just coming to you there's no

thinking you're just create you know

your creative muscle is basically

atrophied so I believe that as AI gets

better the creative muscle in humans

will atrophy it will just let the AI do

it but there'll be a thin sliver of time

in which I can quickly become the

richest person on Earth simply by coming

up with ideas

that are higher quality ideas than young

people are able to

do but I also would have the ability to

instantly Implement through

AI none of that's going to happen but

it's an interesting thought so the the

only thing I want you to remember is

that there's a inversion where

implementation used to be everything and

now it might be nothing so it might make

the idea the valuable thing for the

first time in

history the idea has never been the

important thing except maybe the wheel

you know because you could implement it

yourself with a you know carving a stone

or

something all right

um

so prosan is dead but they think his

troll Farms live on and there's more

priming us that Russia is going to

influence the elections huh who would

want to Prime us to believe that the

elections were being influenced toward

Trump oh yeah all the bad guys who if

Trump wins they're going to say it was

Russia collusion and they're going to

try to overthrow the election and say it

wasn't fair because Russia interfered so

they're setting you up for that uh I

don't believe there's any evidence that

any Russian troll Farms make any

difference in our elections there's no

evidence that made any any difference

the last time in 2020 anyway um so I

don't think it'll make a difference this

time this is the fake data season this

is the season where all of the economic

will make it look as though everything

is working great because the Democrats

control the government the government

comes up with the the data and believe

it or

not uh the data is going to make it look

like the economy is doing well well

surprised some data came out and it

looks like inflation is slowing

down well I think we can thank Joe Biden

for that now for your

amusement uh

you know a lot of you believe that Joe

Biden has been replaced by

AI because he looks and acts and walks

like he's AI may you know maybe a

version 3.5 GPT sort of AI not really a

good one but uh I proved that he was

actually um he's

mechanical and the way I did it was I

reverse engineered him to find his code

I did I reverse engineered President

Biden and I found out the code behind

all of his communication and I'm going

to show you on the Whiteboard um the the

form that he uses I'll show you some

examples

so this is the reverse engineered Biden

code and so this is just a formula sort

of like an algorithm and you you can uh

populate it with any number of contents

but it's always the same inform so he

starts with an outrageous lie about

anything and then he justifies the lie

with what I call a hollow because it

means he uses the word because but what

comes after the word because is nonsense

or

incomplete but then he just keeps

talking so that you don't have time to

like think about it too much but it

sounded like there was a reason and then

he sometimes adds a weird emphasis so

that his

Nonpoint sounds like it was a point let

me give you an example so the LIE might

be well inflation was 25,000 under Trump

but I got it down to

zero and then you add the fake because

because of all the bomic

policies have I mentioned

infrastructure now if you want to add

that if you want to make it stronger you

you do it joh Pierre K whoever she is

what she does she adds weird emphasis

Joe does this too but he does a

different one so I'm going to add the

weird emphasis to make it sound like the

hollow because actually says something

all right you

ready uh the GDP is up 25,000

f% and that's because of biomics and

because of my policies and have I

mentioned the

infrastructure

and it's because of

policies the policies see if you just

said every everything got better because

of my policies you're

like H I'm not even hearing the reason

but if you say it with weird

emphasis then people will think they

heard a reason when there's not one

there no the reason that unemployment is

zero for black people the reason it's

zero for black people is the Biden

economic policies the

policies

infrastructure

infrastructure see now Joe does the

weird emphasis with a

whisper or sometimes a dementia yell so

that so that would go this

way GDP is up

500% because of the Biden policies see

that's the whisper whisper thing but he

could also do because I love policies

you know his his dementia yell so pretty

much everything will fall this

outrageous lie Hollow because with no

explanations with weird

emphasis and that's that's a Biden robot

right there you can build it

yourself well RFK Jr is growing in

support I saw a uh he's got his new

VP and uh Douglas McKinnon was writing

that uh RFK Jr has a higher favorability

rating than both Biden and

Trump now you know Trump of course has

his Loyalists and they're not going to

go anywhere but it's kind of interesting

that the third party is more favorable

than both of the major candidates uh RFK

is also the favorite among voters under

35 wouldn't that be exactly the people

that Biden has pretty much owned that

feels like a mortal blow

to the Biden um campaign and uh he's

gaining rapidly among minorities so

basically RFK Jr is a a threat to the

strongest

strongholds of the Democrat Party and he

doesn't have to take many of them away

because remember Trump on his own is

already is already scooping up a lot of

minority

voters so if you had RFK Jr what's left

for Biden just young single women who

are getting punched in the face so

basically Biden's entire demographic

core is going to be young women who get

punched in the

face that's not much to run

on I I will lead you the people who are

getting punched in the face because of

my

policies see what I did there

um

so it looks like the uh Democrats are

going to have to uh jail Trump and keep

RFK Jr off the ballot to win and protect

democracy um they're doing a lot to

protect democracy for

example oh by the way before I give you

that um I saw Benny Johnson was

reporting that the judge's daughter in

that Alvin brag

case so the judge's daughter has a photo

of Donald Trump Behind Bars and in a

jail cell as her profile picture so

Fair trial coming

up so that's a judge who has to go back

to his own daughter and explain why

Trump isn't in

jail his own family will give him a

terrible time presumably if he doesn't

put Trump in jail or find finded against

him in the hardest possible

way so do you think that that case is

anything like oh I don't know Fair

Justice or anything like that well let's

put this all together into one statement

um so it looks like Biden is trying to

protect democracy that's going to be his

uh his play and he's going to protect

democracy uh just effect as effectively

as he comes up with nicknames so he came

up with broke down and caused Trump to

make9

billion and he's going to protect

democracy and the way he's going to do

it he's he's going to keep RFK Jr off

the ballot they've created a whole

organization just to do that he's going

to use corrupt prosecutors and judges to

put Trump in jail to protect democracy

he's going to use government funded

entities to censor Republicans and

manipulate the news for democracy while

servicing the military industrial

complex for democracy and taking away

your guns for

democracy Now there that's how you save

your democracy am I

right now you're probably laughing and

saying Scott Those seem like the

opposite of saving democ y but do you

like Freedom you like Freedom don't you

if you want freedom Biden is your one

because after he's done all of that um

in a Janice Joplin kind of way you'll

finally be

free because freedoms just another word

for Nothing Left to

Lose they would take your candidate away

they will take your guns away they will

take your free speech away they will

take your access to accurate information

away they'll take your RFK Jr away and

after they've taken everything away and

you can only walk down the street

getting punched in the face you'll

finally be

free because you'll have nothing else to

lose now you say to yourself but Scott

at least I can enjoy some nice food no

food's giving you cancer no you have

nothing left to lose you say well at

least I can scroll through my phone no

no mental illness

can't scroll through your phone just

going to make things

worse

right well at least I can go outside

well if you do you better put on your

sunscreen if you're going to go outside

put on your sunscreen sunscreen might

kill you people say from the chemicals

so you'll die if you go in the sun or

you don't go in the sun because you

won't have enough vitamin so basically

you've got lots of options is what I'm

saying wear your

mask lawyer John East looks like he's

going to get disbarred for helping Trump

in the fake

Insurrection that the Democrats who

saving democracy have convinced you

actually happened now one of the ways

that the Democrats saved democracy is

that they threw away some of the

testimonies that would have uh have been

uh let's say helpful to Trump and the

other J Sixers so they're helping

democracy with a show trial in which

they throw away the exculpatory

information to save democracy I feel a

lot safer in fact right now um since I'm

being completely censored from all

contact with

Democrats don't I feel safer of course I

do and

Freer because now that I don't have

ability to broadcast to people who might

be change have their minds Changed by

anything I say um I feel much Freer much

Freer Nothing Left to

Lose well the simulation has been

tapping us on the shoulder and kicking

Us in the shin and grabbing Us by the

balls and saying are you paying

attention this is a simulation how do I

know well it couldn't wink any harder

here's an example The Daily Show has

been you know as you know resurrected

with John Stewart and somebody decided

that the best way to decorate his entire

set is behind him it has the words The

Daily Show but surrounding him on his

desk and on the side walls and

everywhere else they've abbreviated it

to

TDs so yes I swear this is true John

Stewart sits among uh a 100 acronyms

that say TDS and then presents

TDS in the real

world I swear to God that's happening

now you tell me we're not in the

simulation seriously you're watching

Trump embark on the third Act of all

third acts exactly as I told you he

would and you don't think we live in a

simulation have you ever seen me change

the

world watch the comments have you ever

seen me change the

world how is that

possible well I'll do it

again so there's a story in Yahoo news

um about a Utah gubinatorial candidate

Phil

Lyman and I guess he said some things

about the bridge collapse and he

referenced you know diversity and

Dei now I do not think that the British

collapse is caused by any diversity or

Dei you know they don't know exactly

what the problem is but I think that's

the least likely possibility you know

some are still saying it might be some

kind of a Cyber attack I wouldn't rule

it out but I think by far the most

likely is just happens and

sometimes it happens when you're near a

bridge that's my guess now I could be

easily talked out of that you it

wouldn't take much more information to

to be convinced it was a Cyber attack

you know I'm sort

of 6040 that it was just an accident

I'm at zero that it was anything

racial I don't see any evidence of that

but back to this story The you the Utah

gubinatorial hul Phil Lyman um I think

more that he was just you know uh he was

bolstering a story that he's against Dei

and was using it as an example probably

wasn't the best example

but in the process of doing a hit piece

on him Yahoo news mentioned that one of

the teror things this poor guy did this

Phil Lyman who's running for Utah

governor and if you can believe this

this bad behavior it was so bad that

they needed to call it out in the

article and you know people live

complicated lives but they found one of

the worst things he's ever done and I

feel bad even bringing it up because you

know poor Phil Lyman he doesn't deserve

this but since it's been reported I feel

you know I feel I can I mention it well

this poor guy this really

happened he reposted one of my posts on

X

yeah yeah now if you saw a story in

which a major part of the story was that

this guy my God how could he he uh

posted one of my posts now how did they

describe that let me check their exact

wording they said uh they describe me as

the Gilbert cartoonist

Gilbert with a G the Gilbert cartoonist

and I was called a conservative

commentator

repunit all right so the two things they

described about me are completely

wrong I'm not the Gilbert

cartoonist and I'm not

conservative the the times that I agree

with conservatives are every time they

say something that's obvious and you

know it's just

obvious right am I a conservative

because I like strong border

control well according to

them if I don't want if I don't want

massive migration

uncontrolled

what if I don't want my government to be

massively censoring the citizens well

what am I some kind of conservative

reactionary like what what exactly is

the policy that they could look C to

call me a conservative because every

single thing that I agree with

conservatives on and it's a pretty long

list of things I agree with they're all

just common

sense I don't take any religious take on

anything right I have no religious point

of

view so how do you call me a

conservative so here's your news now do

you remember the uh I talk about the G

man Theory G man noticed that whenever

there was a story about physics his

expertise he knew it was all wrong but

then he would read the next story that

wasn't his expertise and he would forget

to question it because he thought well

it's in the news probably true then one

day he realized wait a minute if 100% of

the things I know about are wrong what

does that say about the rest of the news

and of course that was the Insight that

unlocked everything of course it's all

fake look at this example it's a story

in which I'm a central player of the

story and the only two things they said

about me are dead

wrong now that got through editors it

wasn't just a writer it got through

editors probably more than

one anyway here's the bigger part of the

story so I've been saving the big part

of the story imagine if you will I'm a

central part of the story and it's being

used to line this one

individual Phil

Lyman don't you think that if you're

going to mention that he reposted my

post what's the minimum logical thing

you would do if the story is about

something I posted and it was on the

topic of Dei what's the minimum you

would do you would link to it am I right

you would link to it now suppose you

didn't want to give me any attention cuz

I'm the Gilbert cartoonist and a

conservative and they don't like that so

suppose you didn't want me to get any

extra clicks well it's just a post

wasn't that long I mean it was a long

thread but you know maybe it'd be a

quarter of a

page they could just copy and paste it

because because that would be fair use

if you're talking about it you can

publish it in hole you knew that right

there's no copyright problem if you're

doing a story about it you can just

publish it in whole you couldn't do it

with a whole book but you can do it with

something something short so now you say

to yourself but Scott they probably had

a lot of things they didn't link to nope

it it was an article in which every

paragraph had a link to find out more

about something in the paragraph every

paragraph there were like 12 links to

external things and yet a core part of

the

story was my post no

link

let me tell you why there was no link to

it because they read

[Laughter]

it yeah that the post is is my highly

viral post maybe the most persuasive

thing I've ever written and maybe the

most persuasive thing that's ever been

written big claim well that's called

persuasion I'm actually giving you uh a

challenge I don't think anything has

ever been more persuasive because it was

the sum of everything I've learned all

my

life put into one

piece and I didn't hold anything back

and it was about how Dei is basically a

female

strategy and that for a men you just

look pathetic if you say hey my

discrimination held me back if you're a

man it just looks pathetic I don't care

if it's

true but but it's true I don't care

I got problems too why is your problem

special but for a female strategy

victimization can work you can actually

get things fixed by complaining if men

do it they can sometimes get things

fixed but we don't respect them ever

again so it's not really a good tradeoff

so it's so persuasive in my um personal

opinion and I think you'll agree that

that's the reason it's got 1.1 million

views is because people agree if you

look at the comments they're unlike

anything I've ever done most of the

comments are something like it's the

best thing you've ever done most of them

that's a weird thing because you don't

get that comment on just a good post

it's very rare that most of the comments

say it's the best thing you've ever done

when you know I've written 50

books so that's that's really special so

it's so dangerous apparently that Yahoo

news won't link to it now I'm going to

tell you the real reason they don't link

to it is just that it would destroy

their entire entire narrative that's why

it's that dangerous but I'm completely

controlled because I'm siloed I'm siloed

not just that nobody wanders in

accidentally and sees my stuff but even

when there's a a a major entity Yahoo

news I would call the major news entity

even when they do a story about it they

Silo Me by not I'm the only thing they

didn't link

to are you Blown Away by that or is that

just because it's me that I'm blown away

maybe I'm just two inside my own head

here is that does that tell you

something that's like meaningful for the

rest of you or am I just talking about

myself I can't tell this might be just

too much inside

baseball anyway I'll look at your

comments about that uh Pennsylvania

Court ruled in favor of signature

verification for mail in

voting why the hell is that a

story it's a story that the Court ruled

that you do the most basic thing to make

sure the election is not

rigged what what why in the world was

that

even

important like we we live in a world in

which

strengthening uh voter security is

somehow controversial that's

controversial

wow and then I saw a uh opinion piece by

John rolon from the Rolston reports not

familiar with them but apparently he

wrote a column and he reup it so we

could

see and he says uh in the wake of the

McDaniel hiring firing people seem to

forget the issue here has no equivalent

so he's talking about the 2020 January 6

stuff has no equivalent he said you deny

the 2020 election you should be shunned

you can and should uh Trump you should

be able to platform Trump backers in

other

words

MSNBC you know should be able to put a

trump backer on there but not an

insurrectionist not not an

insurrectionist that now that's too far

that's too far

and and the reason that he has this

opinion

is that he believes it's a fact that the

election was not

rigged how can you be so

brainwashed that you think it's possible

to know who won an

election how does that even

happen that is strong

brainwashing but imagine putting him in

the room with me and he makes this claim

that people like me should be shunned

for imagining that this election was not

perfectly

fair to which I would say to him how

would you know if it was fair or it

wasn't and he would say dumb things like

the courts didn't find a problem and I

would say what school did you go to

where you learn that not finding

something by looking in the wrong place

tells you that there's nothing

there so I would like to give a

demonstration of proving that

automobiles don't exist

would you like to see it I can prove it

watch this my proof that automobiles

don't

exist I don't see

any n no automobiles under my shirt how

about this

drawer searching

searching no

automobiles proof there are no

automobiles under my shirt there are no

automobil in my desk

drawer

QED there are no automobiles in

existence they're all

imaginary

now is there something wrong with this

individual's

brain like organically they can't figure

this out on their own or is this purely

brainwashing now if it's brainwashing IQ

is not a

variable this is one of the hardest

things for people people to

understand IQ and being smart and even

being well

informed won't help you from being

brainwashed do do you think that when uh

Patty Hurst was taken by the Symbian

Liberation Army and and basically

brainwashed was it because she had a low

IQ I she probably didn't I mean I don't

know anything about her but I doubt she

was just sort of naturally d

no there is absolutely no

correlation between intelligence and how

easily you can be hypnotized in fact the

evidence anecdotally for hypnotists is

that it's easier to hypnotize a smart

person because they they let their guard

down because they think they can't be

hypnotized that they just don't assume

that it happens to them they assume it's

only something that happens to dumb

people so they don't have any defense it

just goes right

through

but do you think that John Rolston is

aware that there is no mechanism and

nobody's even tried to create a

mechanism to know if an election is fair

that's unknowable by

Design if it were a paper ballots and

every paper ballot was counted by both

teams so there was a Democrat that

counted every ballot at the same time a

republican counted every

ballot that would be I would say that I

could call that election Fair because it

would be designed for me to acquire that

information so if you say Scott do you

think this is fair I say' well how did

you do the election well it was all

paper ballots it was all same day we

checked all their IDs and then every

single thing was counted by two people

at the same time and when they got to 10

they would check the count all right did

you have eight bidens and two trumps yes

okay continue do the next 10 that way

you're audited instantly you're

instantly audited because two teams got

the same number and they stopped every

10 and then they went

on right so so you could design a system

where you would say to me I know it's

really complicated and there's all these

precincts and you can't watch them all

and who knows but this was our system if

they told me that and I knew that was

really the system I would say yeah yeah

you know what I'm going to treat that as

a fact because you built a system that

would produce information to allow me to

say it's a fact the current system

produces

nonsense

nonsense I can't even tell where the

where the vote is wait is my vote in the

in The Ballot Box or is it in the

machine that created the paper are they

counting the paper or is the machine

count or they comparing it then it goes

into some kind of ballot count counting

machine tabulator what's that all about

then where then where does the

electronic signal go for any of that and

how do they transmit it and what what

computers are involved and how many

entities how many state lines does it

cross how many International borders

does it cross what is the susceptibility

to

hacking it's designed so you can't tell

who won it's pretty

obvious well when you imagine how easy

it would be to design out all

possibility of

and then you look what we built

instead I think that removes all

doubt doesn't it so to argue whether a

vote was or was not rigged is the stupid

argument I'm sorry because I know a lot

of you make the argument it's obvious it

was rigged that's the dumb argument if

only because you can't sell it it's an

unsellable argument nobody's buying it

so why do it but if you say to somebody

look at the design look at what it could

be then look what it is and look that we

know we have a credibility problem so

it's not like we don't have a problem

and it's the biggest problem in the

country and and no effort whatsoever to

fix it there's only one conclusion right

you see how easy it is to fix things you

want to

fix Ronda Sansa shows you every day that

he can fix things that need to be fixed

fairly efficiently yeah so it can be

done so don't be shunning those election

deniers uh instead of being an election

denier be an election system analyst am

I am I a election denier no I'm a system

analyst and I found a system that can't

tell you who

won that's it you do not have an

argument for that this is a system that

by its design can't tell you who

it can give you a result which I

accepted immediately and never changed

my mind because I do think that cheating

is built into the system so whoever

cheats them their way to a win well they

got the win unfortunately that's the

system so when I accepted the result

immediately it had nothing to do with my

suspicions about the quality of the

election it's just that was our

system and we allowed it to run we all

watched it and we that's

system so I hate to say it but Joe yeah

Joe Biden was

elected by our system and I accepted it

and I've never changed my mind yeah he

he guesses four years I guess he'll get

another one maybe if if they find a way

to make it happen all right ladies and

gentlemen that is all I have for your

Collective uh interest I'm going to uh

leave the locals people on this feed

the subscribers who get a little extra

and then I'm going to say bye for now to

the rest of you and I'll see you
