's an evolutionary reason. So the idea is if the parasite that wants to be in cats gets into something else like a mouse, the mouse will actually be attracted to cat urine so that the mouse will more likely do dangerous cat-related things and then get eaten. And then when the cat eats the mouse, then the parasite gets back in the cat where it wanted to be. So apparently the parasite can infect any…
← Previous segment →you did not have gender dysphoria. You're just a kid and kids can be wildly confused about lots of stuff. It's not gender dysphoria. So then suddenly you start teaching the kids that they have a choice. Well you know, it could go this way, it could go this way. It doesn't matter what you were born with. You've got options. So according to AI — and this is not me. So this is not my opinion. I'm telling you a story about somebody who got AI to say something. So there are no human opinions involved in any of this. This is AI's opinion. Teaching kids transgenderism causes gender dysphoria.
Now independent of the content of the answer, the bigger question is this. What happens when AI starts telling us things that make sense but disagree with what is acceptable and appropriate and woke? What are we going to do? Are we going to turn off the AI? Are we going to call it a liar? Are we going to say it's bigot AI? Is a bigot? I think that's what's going to happen. Prediction number two: AI will be labeled bigots. AI will be called a racist and a misogynist and probably anti-trans at some point. Don't you think? And how in the world could that be avoided? I don't see any way that can be avoided. Because humans call other humans all these names, you know, bigot, racist, etc. Are they always right? How often does a human get it correct when they call somebody else a racist in the United States? Not often. Not often. But it's pretty rare. It's just something you say against political enemies mostly.
Now you don't think that that same impulse will be used on AI? When AI starts telling you things you don't like, you're going to call it a bigot and a racist and tell everybody to stop listening to it. You're going to want to — people are going to try to cancel AI. There, I said it. Humans will try to cancel AI for being too bigoted. And it doesn't mean it will be bigoted. It might be. It's been trained by people so it probably is. But even if it's not, somebody's not going to like their answer and they're going to say, "Well that's bigoted." Yeah, I know you're just being an AI and I know you're just doing what you're programmed, but that's so bigoted. So yeah, we'll use that to limit AI.
All right. How many of you want me to talk about Steven Crowder's divorce, given that he's talking about it publicly? I'm going to take a vote. I saw one yes but mostly nos. So mostly we should leave them alone. What do you say? Just leave them alone to let it work out. Your vote is accepted. Topic removed forever from this live stream. The public has spoken. And by the way I'm kind of proud of you. I didn't know why you would say that. I kind of thought it would be closer to 50-50, but I do like the fact that you have a very high — it looks like 80-20 kind of thing, at least 90-10 maybe. Well that is a really good statement about all of you. I have to say. So you're better people than I am in many ways.
All right, moving on. The Washington Post, which as you know seems to like the Democrats better than the Republicans, have given Biden a bottomless Pinocchio. Apparently that's their worst rating for lying, the bottomless Pinocchio. Now for context they gave Trump a lot of bottomless Pinocchios. And the standard for the bottomless Pinocchio, which is the worst of all the Pinocchios, bottomless, the standard is you have to say the same lie like a whole bunch of times, like 30 times or something. But if you say the whole lie like a whole bunch of times, then it's a bottomless Pinocchio.
And Biden apparently keeps going around saying that he lowered the deficit by a record 1.7 trillion, a claim that the Washington Post's Kessler gave three Pinocchios in September. So this is September when he started saying it. It was clearly not true, but it wasn't yet a bottomless Pinocchio. But he's now said it so many times. He said it 30 times since June and there's just no truth to it at all apparently. Apparently it's so untrue that the story doesn't even bother to say why he says it. Like well he's counting this but not that. It just feels like it's just some shitty made-up that he just says it.
And apparently as far as I can tell Democrats believe him because I was joking the other day that some CNN said that Biden will try to distract from his age as an issue by talking about the economy. And I just laughed. I go, really? You're going to distract from your

bad feature, your age, by talking about your worst feature, how you handle the economy? And I couldn't even believe anybody would say that unless they were joking. I actually tweeted it as a joke without any change. I just thought, oh that's just so funny just the way it is without anything added. I just thought it was funny that somebody thought they should distract to make us look at his economy…
