decision-making process even for your own brain. That has now gone.

Again there are exceptions, right? They don't necessarily brainwash every person the same way and just as effectively. But that's what's happening. That's the world you live in now.

There's another study that showed that the tone of the COVID-related news articles in the United States, 91 percent of them were negative. Now you say to yourself, doesn't that make sense? It's a pandemic. Shouldn't 91 percent of the coverage if not 100 percent be leaning a little negative? We're sort of in the middle of a pandemic. Except that if you look at how media outside the United States treats it, 54 percent given a negative coverage. So I suppose you could argue that maybe we got hit worse in the United States. Maybe that's part of it. But it feels as though that was a Trump-related problem a little bit, right? That our oligarchs decided that COVID was going to be the story and it was bad for Trump. And there you have it.

But part of that study said that it didn't matter if things were trending worse or better with the pandemic. It didn't affect the coverage being 91 percent negative. So the allegation in this study was that the news creates a narrative that is invulnerable to any change in facts.

Chad says you're wrong Scotty. I'm going to take that as parody.

All right. How did you enjoy today's special Thanksgiving episode of Coffee with Scott Adams? I feel like I was angrier than I wanted to be. Have I spoken with Martin Geddes? I have not. Not even sure who that is.

Release your mind and you release the Kraken. Somebody says thanks for doing a Thanksgiving episode. You know somebody asked me if I was going to do this on Thanksgiving to which I say two things. Number one, if you sleep in on weekends and holidays you're probably not doing yourself a favor. It's a good habit to get into that you keep your sleep schedule similar no matter what's going on because sleep's pretty important. Even though I hate sleep and try to get as little as possible I do try to keep the same approximate schedule. So I'm always going to get up early no matter what. I enjoy it. And then the second thing is why wouldn't I come here? I enjoy it. I enjoy it. So on a holiday I want to do things I enjoy.

Somebody asked me about the great reset, which I still call, I believe the great reset is all about people confusing the words. It feels like word thinking because there's this idea that there's the global elites want to cause this great reset to consolidate power and it's all part of a grand scheme which I don't believe any of. And then Justin Trudeau who used the phrase, you know, we have a reset because of the pandemic. A completely different use of the word in a whole different context. But because people are people they said hey you use that word reset in a completely different context therefore this completely other different story that uses the word reset must be true. No. The only thing that's in common is that word.

Now is it true that there will be a reset? Of course. The pandemic makes us rethink everything, have to change how we're doing. Of course it's a reset. How could it be anything else? Of course. But it's not that weird conspiracy thing where the elites are having a meeting in Davos or whatever the hell, George Soros is behind it. It's none of that. Or at least there's no evidence of it that I have seen. Let me be clear and not say what my critics say. I'll just say that I am not personally aware of any evidence that would make me think the great reset is anything but ridiculous. Q talk doesn't mean it's not true. Just means I'm not personally aware of any evidence.

Am I aware of Vox Day? I'm aware there is somebody with that name. That's about what I'm aware of.

Yes, Justin Trudeau said great reset but words can be used in different contexts and that was a different context. That's all it was. If you think that you discovered a secret world plot because Justin Trudeau said it directly on television you really need to check your thinking. Because if it was really this great clever secret plot I'm pretty sure Justin Trudeau would not have revealed it in his speech.

How do we get rid of propaganda and back to truth? I would argue that we've never been at truth. We just didn't know it. So when I talked about Trump changing the nature of reality what people thought they are seeing is that he changed the reality. Now he did change the reality but on top of that he also changed how we see the reality that was already there before Trump.

You probably thought your elections were pretty secure. You probably thought your social media was a little biased but how big a deal is that? Maybe you thought that your news was real. Trump taught you that your observation of reality is deeply subjective and you're probably getting brainwashed. Wasn't new. It was only new to you. It wasn't something that I didn't know. And in 2015 when I said, I think it was 2015 when I said that Trump would change your understanding of reality, it was this. This is the part I was telling you was coming. I could see it as clearly as I could see my hand in front of my face. You could tell that he was going to mess up what you thought of your own ability to understand your reality in a way that could never be put back in the bottle.

And the biggest way he did it was by departing from the fact-checking all the time because he realized that the facts are not persuasive and we d
