Back to episode — Episode 2221 Scott Adams - No Real News Today So Let's Mock The Fake Stuff
Context —
ate that Bill Maher is a liberal who wishes it was more like the old days. Deborah in all caps: Scott got brainwashed during COVID. Deborah, you got brainwashed by the people who told you my opinions were the opposite of what they were, and then you believed them. So the all-caps shouting is kind of a tell for brainwashing there. If you see me shouting in all caps, then that would be a tell that…
← Previous segment →c strip about my opinions, maybe you should go look at that.
All right. I think we're looking at what might be the new race hoax 2024. We've been waiting for it, but maybe it was there all along. So you saw there was that well-dressed, suspiciously well-dressed group of alleged Nazis. Although I think most were Nazis, so that part is I don't think that's too alleged. That seems like a fact. And they have nice new flags and nice new shirts and very, very well organized. And one of them is this highly tattooed guy, full face tattoo, called Boneface. And Boneface is known to have gone to fight for Ukraine for a while. But I think he was so bad they kicked him out of the Ukrainian military. Yeah, I don't know how bad you have to be to get kicked out of the Ukrainian military. But so that's what happened. I think he was kicked out anyway.
The Rolling Stone is trying to get the hoax moving because somebody yelled at him that they were DeSantis supporters. And Boneface or one of them yelled back, we support DeSantis. And that's the part that Rolling Stone decided to quote and make an article about. So he used the statement "we support DeSantis." So he does, right? Because there was a guy and he said there's words and they heard it with their own ears. They saw it with their own eyes. It's on video. So it must be true, right? I mean, I don't know. Could there be any counterargument? Is there any way to imagine that you could see it on video and yet it wouldn't be true? Is there any way to imagine such a wild thing?
Well, suppose they had given you the full quote. Do you know what the full quote was? "We support DeSantis. Hahaha. This antis." That was the full quote. I think I'm paraphrasing, but the first part was sarcasm followed by their actual opinion, which is mocking people who thought they supported DeSantis. They were actually mocking it. The opposite of what Rolling Stone reported. And they had the full video. They had the video.
Now, do you know what a wrap-up smear is? Pretty soon you're going to see a politician saying, well, there's DeSantis is racist. They said so. And people will say, no, no they didn't. And then what does the Democrat say? I can go Google it for yourself. Just Google it. You'll find out. And if you Googled it, what do you think would come up first? The debunking or the Rolling Stone article with the fake quote? You already know that. You don't have to check, right? So that's how it works. You just need to get one entity to say it's true. You get your least honest entities to do that who still have a national name, and then you act like it's true because it was in the media. That's how the whole game is played.
All right. What are the four least reliable indicators of truth in 2023? There are four indicators of truth that are the least reliable. What are they? I will label them. These are the least reliable things: your left ear, your right ear, your left eye, your right eye. Right? Those four things do not trust for forming opinions because those are the easiest to fool.
Do you know why scientists are so easy to fool? Because they don't suspect the trick. That's why they're the easiest. Because the scientists are thinking, well, I'll look for a problem within the domain of science. What about somebody just made up some? They won't even, you know, what about a video that just got edited and they didn't know that's a thing, right? As soon as you get out of your scientific domain, you think things are supposed to work the way things are supposed to work. You're completely lost because the world, the real world of news and propaganda, is nothing true at all. You know, it's just all completely ridiculous garbage.
So yeah, don't believe your eyes or your ears. And the dumbest people on social media, and you're seeing a lot of them lately, are saying I saw it with my own eyes. I heard it

with my own ears. It was on tape. You must be lying because I personally witnessed it. Those people are so lost. It's the lowest standard of truth as you saw it. The lowest standard. So what else we got going here? It's a low news day. That's about it. That's about it. So I'm still working on some plans to figure out how to educate the youth. I've got another scheme which you're going to see. I t…
