Back to episode — Episode 1162 Scott Adams - Biden's Business Partner Speaks, Borat Attacks Rudy, Iran Interference

A British publication owned by an Australian, Rupert Murdoch. Yeah, Rupert Murdoch has to break the news because it's basically just locked down from most of the American outlets. Now, of course the right-leaning outlets are covering it. And so once you know that Joe Biden was the big guy, once you know that the emails are real and that there's a real witness, and here's the funniest part of the…
← Previous segment →a massive voter suppression campaign.
Now, of course none of this is true, and it's been traced back to Iran. But if you were gonna make up some kind of a BS story to influence somebody's election, you couldn't do better than that. Because first of all, there aren't that many Proud Boys. Second of all, this doesn't sound even a little bit true. Thirdly, the Proud Boys don't do anything like that. The Proud Boys are not an offensive organization, right? Correct me if I'm wrong. But no matter what you think of the Proud Boys, my understanding of them is that they don't start fights. They're pretty good at finishing fights, and they seem to enjoy fights and drinking and fellowship and whatever else they're doing. But under no scenario can you see the Proud Boys going somewhere to intimidate somebody into voting differently. It's sort of ridiculous because it doesn't make any sense with who they are as an organization. Even if you don't like them, it doesn't make any sense with who they are.
So I asked myself, are you telling me that Iran can't do a better job than that? I mean, I'm not going to make myself available to Iran for consulting, but if I did, I'm pretty sure they could have had a better product than that. That was pretty lame.
So the Proud Boys will not beat you up if you vote. I feel like I can say this with some confidence. The Proud Boys will not beat you up if you vote. Because you know what the Proud Boys like? Hold on, this will blow your mind, and Iran doesn't know this apparently. But do you know what the Proud Boys like? Voting. Yeah, yeah, the Proud Boys like voting because they're patriots. Is there any patriot who doesn't like voting? Is there a patriot who thinks that we should discourage people from voting? That's sort of the opposite, pretty much the opposite of the Proud Boys. And it's not my job to defend the Proud Boys. So later when somebody says, whoa, that's Scott Adams, he was defending the Proud Boys. That's just not my job. I'm just telling you there's an inconsistency with who they are and with this Iranian thing.
Here's the good news. Climate change has been solved. Okay, maybe I'm getting ahead of myself a little bit, but apparently this following story is very real because I saw the video of the company that can do this. They found a way. A company did, called Newlight Technologies, and they found a way to make biodegradable plastic alternatives out of CO2. They can take CO2, I think, out of the air and turn it into plastic straws that are not plastic. They're made out of the CO2. So they can remove greenhouse gases, and at the same time they can turn it into biodegradable plastic replacements so you don't need the petroleum and it doesn't sit in your ocean and not degrade for thousands of years. That's like a really big thing.
You know, I've been saying since the beginning that although climate change appears real as far as I can tell — you know, my best guess is that the science of humans influencing climate is basically real. I don't know if they have every detail right, and I don't believe predictions over 80 years ever. There's no situation where I would believe that. But I think the basic problem is almost certainly real. I could be wrong, but that's my current take on it.
But I have been saying that you don't need to worry about the end of the earth or anything like it, because people are really good at adjusting and finding solutions, and we have lots of time. This is the sort of thing that you could have predicted was coming if you read my book Loserthink. You see a bunch of other examples in there of companies that are doing similar things. They're turning CO2 into some kind of product, or they're finding innovative new energy sources. So I think we're going to solve climate change, and this might be part of it. Might be good.
Is everybody going to — somebody's asking if it's fake. You know, I would have thought it was fake, or at least I would have been less believing of i

t if I had not seen the video where there's a very big factory that looks like a big industrial processing plant. So it looks like somebody put some tens or hundreds of millions of dollars into building it. So I got a feeling that somebody saw something that was convincing because they put many millions of dollars into building that thing. What's the name of the company? I don't think that they h…
