hat is for humor. So you invite your friend over and say hey I've got this funny movie you want to watch it in my house. The person who doesn't have a sense of humor is just going to say they're busy because what they can't say is I don't even know what this humor thing is. I would just sit there and stare at it. I'm not going to be laughing because I don't know. It just doesn't work for me. So d…

Now the first thing you're going to say is Scott, DEI is not just about the Black public. You know DEI is about any groups that are not getting a fair shake in society. No that's not true. I'm sorry if somebody told you that. If you took the Black population out of the DEI conversation the whole thing falls apart. Do you think that you could get the women and the gays and the Hispanics that'd be powerful enough to have DEI organizations? I don't think so.
I think that the Black population is the heart and soul of the DEI and then the rest are sort of freeloaders. And I don't mean that as an insult. I mean I should say free rider. A free rider not a freeloader. Freeloader is insulting. I didn't mean it insulting. I mean that they just get the benefit of being put into the disadvantaged group but if there were no Black people ever in this country there would be no DEI. Do you agree? And am I going too far or would you agree that it just wouldn't be happening except that the Black public is apparently powerful enough. There's enough people support the idea. Yeah.
So to me DEI is reparations. So I'm not in favor of spending it in either case but if we're going to spend it and it gets approved I'm going to say that is reparations because it has the same effect. The effect of DEI and the theoretical effect is that you just hire better but equally qualified people from disadvantaged groups. That's the theory. The reality is that never happens because it can't. If it could happen it would happen but it can't. It's like logically impossible just because the numbers involved. No not because of any genetic differences. No not because of any racial differences. No not because of any gender differences but just there's not enough people who already gone through the pipeline of training to have enough of them for all the companies that are scrambling to improve their diversity.
So given that it does seem to me that the net effect is that white people will be kept out of jobs, Black people will be promoted even when they have lesser qualifications. Less reparations. And I would say that we've had 30 years of it so far at least 40 I think. So probably 40 years of DEI like activity. Some you know in the old days that was called reverse discrimination. I think it's already paid. I think the bill is paid. I declare the bill paid and the reparations question put to bed whether you like it or not. So I'm not saying I'm for it or against it you know necessarily. I'm just saying it's already paid. We don't have to talk about it anymore.
All right let's talk about TikTok. Joe Rogan looked at the terms of service. This is the scariest thing you've ever seen. So apparently when you sign up for TikTok you agree that they can basically have all your information including your keystrokes including information on devices that you don't use for TikTok. Just hold that in your head for a second. If they can track your keystrokes they know exactly everything you're doing. All your passwords. Let me say it again. If they're tracking your keystrokes they have your password into every one of your accounts and you're signing that away. You're basically signing to give your passwords away because it would be legal. It wouldn't be legal to get into your account but it's legal they have them if you sign that.
So let's see what else are they doing. The way they get into your other devices is I think if you use one of those logons where you say I'll use my Google logon to get into it. I think that's what it's saying. Then they could go to any device that is tied to Google logon, your completely other devices, and find out all

your activity on your other devices. Now it's written so broadly that it couldn't possibly be something you want to associate with. So yesterday I started the process to get a dedicated machine just for TikTok. So I don't plan to look at content because that would be crazy because I don't want to get hypnotized. But I am going to post on it because it's not going away and I'm going to post on it…
