it with your own eyes. Fake videos, fake data, fake graphs, fake politicians. You can't tell. And you can't tell by listening to it because you might not hear it right and other people are interpreting it differently and you might not know the context. So don't believe your eyes and your ears. They're lying to you all day long.

So those are the eight things you should not believe in 2021: scientists signing a letter, any video about Trump, complicated prediction models, any graph or chart you see on Twitter, anything written by a journalist, any claim made by a government (yours or any other government), data, and your own eyes and ears. Don't believe any of that stuff.

And now let's drink to that, because I know you're on board. All you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tankard, a stein, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Hello 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, and it's going to happen now. Go.

Those of you who got here a little bit late, aren't you happy that you didn't mess this up? Yeah, of course you are.

Well, it turns out that in our land of fake news, it turns out that that old virus, that virus, that COVID-19 virus, that pesky little virus which China told us was completely evolved from natural means, probably some bat bit somebody or a pangolin or some damn thing. But it turns out that there's this pesky little genome sequence in the COVID-19. And if you're familiar with it, it's the CGG-CGG. You all know what I'm talking about, right? Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about the genome sequence CGG-CGG. Known, we talk about it all the time. And it's one of 36 sequencing patterns the COVID-19 has. It's one of the patterns. But there's something about this pattern, something about this pattern which we just learned something about it. Did you hear? Apparently there's something about this virus which has never occurred in nature. Never. As far as we know, the sequence, this one sequence here, has never occurred in nature. But it has occurred. It has occurred. We are familiar with it. Do you know where it occurs? Only one way we know it occurs: an engineered virus. It's the only way it happens that we know of.

Now we're still open to the slight possibility that this would be the first time it ever happened naturally, but it would be really, really, really unlikely. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but really, really, really unlikely. And so as of today, based on what we know from additional unreliable sources, because remember all of your sources are unreliable. The ones you agree with, they're unreliable. The ones you disagree with, they're unreliable too. So you know, good luck figuring out what's true. But as of today, I believe that the common wisdom by all the smart people is that we are now reversing our default assumption. The default assumption is now, I believe. Let's see how today develops, right? But I believe that as of today all of the smart people will say the default assumption is that it was an engineered virus and that it was engineered in the lab and that it got out.

Now nobody's saying it got out intentionally. That I still think that's crazy talk. But got out? That wouldn't be a big surprise. Stuff gets out of labs. It happens. It's a fairly common thing, unfortunately. And so this puts the lie to everything we had been told. And as you know there was a letter signed by a bunch of scientists. That's right. There were a bunch of scientists who signed the letter saying that no, no, no, this virus certainly was not engineered in any kind of a lab. It's a naturally occurring virus.

How many of the scientists who signed the letter, I think who appeared in Lancet, how many of those scientists who gave their opinion in public had studied the virus and are experts in this topic? Maybe none, right? Maybe none. How many of them had looked at all the genome sequences and would be qualified to know that if they looked at the CGG-CGG sequence, where apparently the tells for being an engineered virus, that's where they live? Just think about this for a moment. There was a letter signed by a bunch of scientists saying, oh, this is definitely natural, no doubt about it. At the same time other scientists who apparently know what they're talking about, which would be different than the people who signed the letter, people who know what they're talking about, they actually knew where to look to find out whether it was engineered.

Let me say this again slowly and then I'm going to add a curse word because it needs that treatment. Send your children away. The cursing is on the way. So I'm going to say that. Say it again slowly so this fully sinks in. There were people in our world who were experts in viruses who knew where to look on the sequence to find out if it was engineered. They knew where to look and also what to look for. Always from the beginning these people existed. People who knew where to look and what to look for. They were always with us. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? There were people who knew where to look, and when they looked, it was there.

Is your head exploding right now? My head is exploding. Is something so wrong about this whole story that I can barely handle it? And certainly science has lost us now. And it's not our fault. It's not your fault if you're denying science from 2020 on. Believing science is stupid. Stupid. So the next person who says, hey, I think you're a science denier, you should say, thank you. Oh my god, I guess I've been paying attention. I am a science denier. And if you believe the science, you are stupid. If you believe science just because a bunch of scientists told you, they just told you so, it must be true, don't. Though I believe my science, you're an idiot if you believe science from 2021 on.

Now before this, before 2021, I would say, you know, maybe you hadn't been warned. Maybe you just were unaware that scientists could be this unreliable. Maybe you just didn't know. I think that was reasonable. But from this day on, literally this day, the day we find out that this letter signed by scientists was always, always from this day on, if you believe science because a bunch of scientists told you it was true, you're a... there's no middle ground now. That doesn't mean that the scientists will be wrong.

Sean says, is there a deep state for the established establishment scientific community? Well I don't think so in terms of, you know, something controlling all of science. I do think that each field of science in each pocket of science has its i
