buse that law right? It would change the argument quite a bit. So even the things that you think have nothing to do with data are data arguments and when the data is useless because we don't agree on it. But at least science is reliable. Thank God. Thank God we got science.

Let's see in recent the number of retractions of scientific papers has risen sharply. Oh that's not good. For example in 2023 more than 10,000 research papers were retracted globally. 10,000. 10,000 scientific papers were withdrawn. How many do you think were fake that were not withdrawn? More than 10,000. These are just the ones that got caught. Just hold that in your mind. It's only the ones who got caught. 10,000 of them. Since how many was it in 2013? So a little more than 10 years ago it was only 1,500 that year. Only 1,500. And in 2023 it was 10,000. This year probably more. Over the entire time in the past decade how many scientific papers have been retracted? 39,000. 39,000 scientific research papers were retracted. And again it's a very important point they're only the ones who got caught. You tell me what is the real number of fake or inaccurate scientific papers if 39,000 of them got caught and it's hard to catch. 100,000? I don't know but I'd say 100,000 wouldn't be a crazy guess. A 100,000. So it's a good thing that science is accurate right?

Now for the NPCs I'd like to take a moment to talk to the NPCs. Camera two NPCs. NPCs nothing I said was relevant to the scientific process. The scientific process might be the best we have. I didn't say we should discontinue the scientific method. I did not criticize the scientific method. I simply said that 39,000 people got the wrong answer for one reason or another so you can't trust the output automatically. But still science and the scientific method might be the best we have. So if you're dying to come into the comments to say Scott Scott if you don't believe in science how are you going to know what's true so you can come in like a drunken NPC and act like you didn't hear the point. And that is my point that even if you get the right information in front of people we'll find a way to misinterpret it guaranteed.

And then 400 economists backing Harris that means that there are probably X number of economists who are backing Trump. What is the point of being an expert on economics if you can't tell the difference between their two plans and what would be better for the economy? Are economist opinions any good? No not if they're on different sides. Yeah the one time that economist opinions worked are when there were no economists who said that price controls were a good idea. Then it worked. That's a rare case. But when you're looking at like a complex set of variables that Harris would do versus the complex set of variables that Trump would do the economists end up disagreeing and oh surprise they end up agreeing with their political party that they're already registered for. So what good was the economics if all you're going to do is agree with your party after you did your economic analysis? Did you add anything? No you didn't.

Jamie Dimon who I believe is a lifelong Democrat and our most important banker, the biggest of the bankers, he loves Elon Musk's idea of making the government more efficient and cutting out the waste. He said that on a recent, I think it was the same interview, that countries have to have strong borders. Huh. Lifelong Democrat seems to be in favor of something that only Trump is going to do for reducing costs. Seems to be in favor of a Trump version of border security. Say it. Say it Jamie. Say it. You know you want to. You know you want to. Oh you're so close. Elon Musk said it. Bill Ackman said it. Mr. Wonderful said it. The All-In Pod guys some of them said it. It's safe. You can come out Jamie. You can come out. Come on you can do it. We're waiting for you. We love you. We love you Jamie. Come on come on come on you're so close.

Meanwhile manufacturing is slumped to a 15 month low as inflation goes up. So the urgency to pick a president who is the best on manufacturing is good. I'm still thinking that the real way to be a manufacturing powerhouse is with robots and we're not quite there but very very close to the point where we can build an entire probably build something in America that uses a robot and 3D printing and doesn't have to ship as far because it's locally. We may be at the point where manufacturing in the United States because you get rid of most of the labor could work. We're almost there.

Well according to the New York Post early mail-in voting in three of the swing states shows a huge let's say closing the gap by Trump because it used to be that the Democrats by a huge margin were voting by mail. And so the idea is that now that there are more Republicans relatively still less still fewer people voting who are Republican voting by mail but the gap has closed quite a bit in the early voting. I'm not sure that tells you anything. Are you with me on that? I don't think that's an indicator. You know you want to hear it as an indicator that it's good for Trump. I don't know that the indicator tells you one thing or another because don't you believe that the mail-in is about the cheating? No you and the cheating doesn't have to come early. That could come later. So I don't think that's telling you anything. I wouldn't get comfortable because of that.

Well meanwhile Diddy's former bodyguard says we're going to find out a whole bunch of stuff about his freak off parties and there are going to be famous people inv
