Back to episode — Episode 1583 Scott Adams - The Political Left is Starting to Wake Up From its Zombie Trance

sive. But stop making me love you. I want to simply make a decision about politics. I want to look at your policy stuff. I'd like to compare your policy preferences to your competition and come to some kind of an objective risk management decision about which political side has a better plan for each individual topic. That's what I want to do. That's what I would like to do. But he makes it impos…
← Previous segment →to be logical you'd say, okay, the people with natural immunity are at the top of the heap and they have the most access of anybody. Next down would be somebody with two vaccinations or three, I guess. Next down would be two. But wouldn't you rank them that way if you were just doing it logically, right?
So it must be some kind of practical thing. But the Biden administration is not explaining it in any way that the public can be happy with it. So if they can't explain why they're doing it, you have to assume corruption. That's my rule. If your government does something that doesn't make sense to you and everybody can see that they haven't explained why they're doing it and the public is clearly confused, your default has to assume corruption. So the news should be reporting that if they're not explaining their thinking, if they're not explaining their thinking, it has to be a default assumption of corruption.
Just like with the rapid tests. Do I have any proof that corruption is the reason that America was so slow to get volume, low-price rapid tests? I don't have any proof, but it's the default assumption because there's no other explanation that I've seen. So default assumption that there's something crooked going on.
Here's the thing that is the least surprising thing in the world but is so stupid. Apparently there exists and has been found an alternative Mueller report that may be worse for Trump. Really? So apparently the people who put together the Mueller report created a second one that was worse for Trump and hid it away. And now I guess it's going to be useful because for a lot of good reasons they didn't want to put the provocative stuff in the final report. So now we get a whole new series of the Steele dossier, Russia collusion, and the Mueller report. It's coming back. Oh my God, it's coming back.
I don't even know what to say about that except maybe we should have predicted it, that there would be an alternative Mueller report. Are you freaking kidding me? The alternative Mueller report.
All right. Here's something I want to test to see how many of you are aware of this. According to official sources — so this is not your personal opinion, right? So don't give me your personal opinion. Tell me what you think the official people say. Is CO2 emissions from humans rising? Is CO2 rising in the world? Yes or no? Don't give me your own opinions. Give me the official one from science, the scientific official opinion. Go.
All right. Locals seems to have all the same opinion, but I'm not going to tell you on YouTube. On YouTube I'm saying yes, no, yes, yes. Let's wait for some more on Locals. I will tell you they all say it's not going up. Most of them. I'm saying no's. Yeah. What's the official one? Not your own opinion. Forget your own opinion. What's the official word on CO2? I'm saying yeses and no's. Yes and no's.

right. You should all be following Michael Shellenberger on Twitter because he's the only person putting any of this in context. Bjorn Lomborg is doing a good job. He focuses a little more on the economic part of it. But Shellenberger does the best job of putting all this stuff in context. So really for the first time you can sort of understand what's going on. So if you read Shellenberger you're…
