o do it were there but they had not been. Is that a lie?

Well I'd say it's a lawyer lie. It's a legal lie. Like if you said do you really believe that it hasn't been validated? I think he could get away with it in court and say yes, the only evidence I am aware of was the New York Post. I don't consider them credible for whatever reason and the FBI said they had not verified it so what am I supposed to say? If the FBI says they don't know what am I supposed to say, right? So he does have a defense. I'm not sure I would call it a lie but the odds that he knew exactly what he was doing seemed very high. Can we agree? Can we agree that the odds that he knew exactly what he was doing are very high? Very, very high. But he has a defense.

And now we know that the Department of Justice was reading the emails of Devin Nunes and Kash Patel during the actual period of Devin Nunes trying to get to the bottom of the Russia collusion hoax. The Department of Justice found a clever excuse to read his emails and Kash Patel's and maybe some other staffers. Oh my God. Am I surprised? No of course not. But oh my God. You could take any one of these stories and this is worse than Watergate. We're at like five times worse than Watergate five different ways. It's almost too much to even.

And this is what I worry about. If there had been one like clean little scandal then you know the Republicans would pounce on it and the media would have to talk about it and maybe like something would happen like Watergate. Watergate was pretty much one little story of the break-in and it was like a clean little story. But there is so much bad going on at the same time that we're finding out about. So much corruption that I wouldn't know where to even focus.

Like I'm actually, the was it the OODA loop? What's that called? The OODA loop. I'm saying it wrong. OODA. The OODA loop. So basically if you just keep being pushed by the new information you can never deal with the information that you had before. In other words new information is just pushing you forward and you're like hey what about that other thing? Okay, on to the new thing.

So as long as you just keep getting pushed by the new headlines you can't really deal with any of the individual badness. It's just too big and too spread out and too complicated. I think they get away with everything. That's what I think. I think they will get away with everything because they know how to do it. They know how to just make the environment impossible to come after them.

All right, here's another scandal. Like I don't forget if I mentioned this. I think I did. That the Biden administration said they created a million jobs right before the election. It was just a complete lie. The real number what rounds to zero. The difference between you know ten thousand I think and a million. Just a clear, obvious, clean lie. Do you think it would have affected the election to know that the jobs president, as he would like to call himself, created you know basically no jobs? Unbelievable. Unbelievable.

And I'm trying to think what is anything that the Trump administration ever did that would be in this class of badness. Like there's plenty of stuff you didn't like, right? There are things you didn't like that Trump did. But did they do anything like this that just is like obvious corruption? Well you know we'll never agree on the vaccination thing but you have to judge Trump by what he knew at the time. So that's going to be tough because our brains don't work that way. You know we're going to judge by what we know now. We're not going to judge him by what he knew and what everybody knew at the time. That we simply don't have the ability to do it. Like I love that we were smart enough and wise enough and you know mature enough to say well he acted on what he knew at the time. No we're not. As you can see the comments, we're definitely not.

So here's what reality has done. There are two realities about the COVID shots. In one reality they were a huge success but there's some question about whether they make sense for younger people, especially men. So that's one movie that maybe I don't know half of the country has. I'm not saying what's true and what's false. I'm just saying what their reality is.

So the reality is that the shots were a huge success. They're glad they got them, saved millions of lives. But maybe because of Omicron we should rethink younger people and especially younger males. In the other movie the shots were simply more harm than good and that has been so well demonstrated that that's just true. That we already know without having to wait any further. We don't have to wait for the future. We already know what the future looks like and that we already know that there will be more harm in the future than benefit from the vaccinations.

Now again I'm not saying what's true or false. I'm saying that these two realities live completely and they're opposites, right? They can't both be true. Now would you agree that's our current situation? Again not, don't tell me what's true or what's false. Is that our current situation that we have two realities? Okay.

Here's what I'm going to add to this. It will never be resolved. Do you know why? Why will it never be resolved into one reality? Because that's not how anything works. Here's why. As long as those two realities can operate they will. As long as they can they will. And there's nothing that's going to happen that will make them have to merge.

Now you say to yourself but Scott what about the new data that will come in later? To which I say who's going to believe data? You don't believe the data you had. Why would you believe the new data? So if you can't prove it with science and data because we just won't believe them, how would it ever be resolved?

Now one way would be yes one side predicts well and the other doesn't. That's a good sign of who's right, right? If one worldview predicts and it just keeps getting the predictions right, well maybe that's the good one, right? But what will the two worldviews predict? One worldview will predict that the vaccinations worked and there won't be much trouble from the vaccinations. The other one says that there'll be mass problems from the vaccinations.

And then which prediction will be correct? Whose prediction will be correct? The mass problems or the hey it worked out fine in the future? Who will be predicted? You won't know. Both will be right. They will both be completely supported by the data. They can't both be true. Can't both be true. But they will be completely supported by data that the side that wants to believe it accepts.

Now here's the interesting part. Is this different than the way it has always been for other topics? Do we always retreat into two different worlds and we just live in them and it never matters? We just forever are in them. Because remember we've been in the anti-vaccination two worlds for a long time way before COVID. We alre
