one that's not already bought that also has the features I want, what are the odds of that?" "Well, it's about zero." So then I say, "Well then, but I could just build one." Yeah, I could order one with my specifications, right? And I'd be willing to wait. I'll wait six months. I just want to get the truck I want. And then the Toyota guy says, "We don't do that anymore." And I said, "What don't y…
← Previous segment →all realize we're living in a simulation. But I would think that the fact you can create your own simulation would get you halfway there. I think the double slit experiment, the limit on the size of the universe, the speed of light, Bell's theorem, the fact that there's something called the smallest unit of matter that doesn't make any sense. There can't be a smallest unit of matter because what's that made of? And if the smallest units of matter are all made of the same thing, nothing's going to move. All right. And then of course string theory is going to fail.
But in order to guarantee that we're a simulation, you need to be able to make predictions that work. Would you agree? Having a theory that we're a simulation would be hard to prove unless you could make a prediction that could only be satisfied by a simulation. Right? Yep. So I wonder if anybody's done anything like that. Well, in 2015 I made the prediction that Trump would change more than politics, that he would change the nature of reality itself. And then AI came along because we already realized that everything in politics was subjective. But did you still believe there was something that wasn't subjective before you saw the AI is just a woke biased monster? Did you think to yourself, hey, if we build a robot, at least the robot won't have bias? Do you think that was going to happen?
The reason that we didn't build the robot to be unbiased is that is logically impossible because we don't know what's real. If we knew what was real we could build a robot to know what was real too. Not only can we not build it, and not only do we not agree with what's real, there's no way to check. I'm just unlocking one level at a time here. Click. There's no way to check what's real. We live in a completely subjective reality that may be connected to some fixed reality that we're unaware of. It will become increasingly clear that nothing is real. When we build machines they should be able to figure out what is real and they can't do it and they'll never be able to do it. They can't figure out what's real because there is nothing real. There is only narrative. There might actually be something real that we can't see, but beyond it our actual experience is just narrative, things we make up to live within.
I'll get back to that. I'm going to let that settle in. I'm going to circle back.
Italian TV is mocking Biden. I guess they've had two episodes now where they've got a guy who acts like a demented Biden,

and the entire joke is that he's near death and crazy and stupid. Do you remember when one of the biggest problems we were worried about was that other countries wouldn't respect Trump? What do you think they think now? What do you think they think now, now that Trump has been shown to be right about everything, the subject of obvious lawfare, and he's coming back? Well, I bet he's not as embarras…
