Back to episode — Episode 2179 Scott Adams - Is The American Incompetence Crisis Caused By Women Dominating Policy?
Context —
CO2 a million years ago like it mattered. Like I feel like this is somehow downstream from all the experts' stupidity that even smart people are dragged into kind of a conversation that doesn't make sense. How about the fact that we have lots of college and lots of people going to college but we have lots of college courses that don't make you smart? Does college make you smart? It used to. I'm p…
← Previous segment →ow if that's a net bad or good because those smartest people are creating Google and Apple and stuff like that. So it might come out positive but it's at least one of those things I look at that might be sucking talent out of places we need it.
All right, so you put this all together and there might be something that's making us smarter but I can't think of it. The best I could come up with is that you can get online training for just everything but that only applies to people who are willing to go get it, right? It doesn't come to you. You got to say all right I'm going to learn this new thing and then you got to really work at it.
So it seems to me that we have designed the system — accidentally so design is the wrong word — but we've drifted into a system that guarantees growing incompetence. Yeah you can throw drugs in there and addiction everything. Yeah it actually addiction is a good one. Let's throw addiction in there. I think there's more addiction so that should take something off your capability as well.
And also health. What about general health? Nobody's as smart or as productive if they have bad health. But our food system is killing us and our big pharma is doing a mixed job. So we're making people less effective by their health, less effective in their education, less effective in their training, less effective by filtering, you know actually preferring less qualified people because you gotta fill these spots.
Now is there anything that all of these forces have in common? It's like a whole bunch of things I just talked about making us less capable. But is there like a core bottom thing that's causing us all? Because I heard some people say it's obviously the communists. Is it communists? So it might be other countries trying to influence us but it's the local Marxists and the communists are doing it. Do you think that's what's happening?
All right I'm going to give you my hypothesis. It's women. It's women. It's all caused by women. Now when I say it's all caused by women do I mean that every single — hold on let me take a break. Why do you mean every single woman is exactly the same? Well Dale that's not what I mean. And anybody with good reading comprehension or has lived in the world for more than a second knows that when people talk about groups they never ever ever mean every person in that group is the same.
So why are you saying they're all the same? Okay again I didn't really say that. I'm just talking in the normal way that people talk when they talk about

the average of a group. It's more about an average sort of situation. And yet you say everyone is the same Dale. Can you look at the calendar for me? Certainly. What's today? July 24th. What season is that? Summer. So are you pretending to be angry about something that you know isn't true because it's the summer and it's just summer news baby? Dale go back to where you came from. Gladly. And pause…
