Context —

goes into Rafah while there are still civilians there of which there are and Netanyahu said hey we're going to do whatever we need to do we're going into Rafah. So are you surprised? To me this looks like good cop bad cop business. It doesn't look real. Do you think that Biden really wants Israel not to go into Rafah? Do you think that's his actual opinion? It could be might actually be but I feel…

asons but I take the path where there's a 90% chance of being right but I get unlucky so the 10% kicks in. So there was a 90% chance I'd be right but I wasn't. Somebody else took the path with a 10% chance of being right and they got lucky. What would the person who was a 10% chance of right say after they got lucky? They would say they were geniuses and they would say that I made the wrong choice but I didn't make the wrong choice. I got the wrong outcome.

So if your analytical abilities can't separate the wrong outcome from making the right choice based on statistics then you shouldn't be talking about it. That's pretty basic stuff.

Now some of you also say that you knew it would be bad for you because it was the government and Big Pharma. Nobody trusted that. Not me not anybody. Nobody trusted it. So I waited nine months to see who dropped dead because if I believed it I would have gone first. I waited like nine months. People weren't dropping dead in my age group. If I had been young do you think I would have gotten it? Probably not. If I didn't have a comorbidity asthma and it wasn't a lung disease do you think I would have gotten it? Probably not. Don't know but probably not.

So a lot of you are generalizing from your personal experience to what I should have done with my personal health and that's actually stupid. You can only say that you got a result you liked or that you guessed right but your opinion of what I did for my personal medical situation is first of all you can't know if it worked or not. There's no reliable data. I don't have any outcomes that are bad so far that I'm aware of and I had a great year and you had to stay home. So how did I lose? What where's the part where I'm worse off? Because I don't see it in that story. I see I had more freedom than you and in the long run so far it cost me nothing. Am I wrong? I had more freedom because I was not afraid of the shot after nine months of watching people my age not die from it.

All right that's enough of that. We're done with the pandemic. I'd appreciate it if you never bring up the pandemic again. Yeah it's just too boring. It like it forces me to talk about it and then you know to just correct your misperceptions. I'm just bored with it.

All right so this guy says Scott coming out as pro-vax now. Did you hear that? Did you hear me say pro-vax? Did you hear me say that? I said it wouldn't work and as far as I know it didn't work for most people. Now which part is pro-vax? Are you still unable to hear what I'm saying? You can't handle that level of complexity Lenser or are you just a troll? I can't tell if you're an idiot and or bad hearing comprehension. It's hard to tell. All right we'll just assume you're stupid.

All right that's all for now and grifter they lied yeah you're all off the point. All right that's all for now. I'll see you tomorrow. Maybe I'll have better internet. I doubt it. And thanks for joining.

Ah well I have a technical problem that doesn't allow me to end the stream. What do I do about that? Well I'll probably have to close the browser page and get back.
