o believe either one of them because I don't know what's going on with those two guys. They seem a little too connected to I don't know the military industrial complex or something. But I can think of two people who are just individuals who I don't trust on the Republican side but I don't think they're you know I don't think there's a RICO thing. I think they just know what is in their self-interest and they're operating mostly for themselves is my guess if I had to guess. And that's just a guess. So the Republicans don't seem to have any kind of RICO organized crime thing. They seem to be just doing the best work they can to try to make something work. But the Democrats literally look like a RICO organized from the top. I mean how many ops did they run that involves the intelligence people the fake news and the entire Democratic party? Quite a few. That's a big group and that sure screams RICO to me. So we'll see.

Meanwhile if you're believing data a Harvard professor according to Natural News was found guilty of fraudulent research to promote critical race theory. Tenured professor. He fabricated data to prove his point about critical race theory. Now is critical race theory data that is important? Well it was important to this professional because it was his career and he wanted it to look bad so he changed it until it did. This is what I'm talking about. This is a tenured Harvard professor who just completely lied allegedly completely lied. This is normal. All data that matters is fake. Now again there might be special cases where there's something that's checked by so many people and it's just really objective. You know maybe there's some random exceptions but the exceptions probably just prove the rule. If you just say hey your pay depends on the data coming out this way and you're pushing CRT the data is going to come your way every time.

All right let's talk about the brouhaha about hiring foreign tech workers. It's a good thing you waited for me to sort this out because the online conversation about it is pathetically misinformed and confused. I think I can sort this out. So I've got just enough contact with the topic and I looked into it enough I think I know what's going on now.

All right so the idea is that people like Elon Musk and people like me say that we should be hiring the best and brightest engineers even from other countries. Now the pushback on that is hold on you know why did we even hire Trump? We didn't hire Trump so we can be bringing in people from other countries to take our jobs. Why don't you let the underemployed Americans, maybe they need some training but give them the training and maybe fix our schools so we're producing more engineers and then we wouldn't have to do any of this bringing in engineers from other countries. Does that make sense to you? Do you think that we would be fine if we don't bring in engineers from other countries? We'll just train the people that we have. Does that work for you?

First of all do you accept as Elon Musk does that we have a shortage of the very best the very top 1% of engineers? So according to Musk he thinks the greatest or one of the greatest things holding back our progress is that Silicon Valley is way under engineered. But we're talking about the top ones now. The arguments that I hear are I'm a white guy and I'm an engineer and I can tell you I've been looking for work and I can't get work. And then you hear that and you go what? All right Elon Musk I think you've gone too far this time. You know you're okay on this electric cars and rocket ship stuff but when you talk about foreign workers you know I think you're missing something because we have multiple stories of trained engineers in America who can't even get a job and they're being filled by let's say Indian engineers with H-1B visas and stuff. So how can it be true? Because it is true that there are American-born engineers who can't get jobs but we also have a shortage of engineers. How can both of those things be true? We've got unemployed engineers and they're telling us, you can look them up on social media they're real people.

Here's the answer. They're all white. That's it. They're all white. There aren't any unemployed top 1% Black American engineers. Find me one. Find me one and then I'll shut the fuck up. You just find me one. They can't get a job. A top 1% Black engineer. How about a top 1% LGBTQ engineer? Any trouble getting a job? No. How about a top 1% woman engineer? Any trouble getting a job? No. This is just racism that we're confusing with the question of engineers right? So yes there are white engineers who can't get a job because they're white. That's the reason. And you all know that right? I'm not telling you something you don't know.

But is it true that we're leaving untapped as a number of people said this morning they said you look at the whole middle of the country and you have all these bright people who score high on tests but they're not getting into the pipeline and being trained properly to become top engineers. To which I say that's great for a different topic. When Elon Musk says we need engineers he doesn't mean we need to spend 20 years building one. He means we need the ones who are right here right now and we better hurry because AI and robots is not waiting for people. Like if we're not doing it China's doing it and Japan's doing it. So we need right away the top 1% engineers and we don't have enough.

Now you might say but what about those white people? Well probably not top 1%. You know my guess is that even the top 1% of white people are completely employed in engineering. Only the engineers I'm talking about now. The people who are programmers which we often lump into the same category the programmers have a different problem because AI is making existing programmers five to 10 times more productive so that industry has a problem but that's not what's happening with engineers.

And here's the next thing you need to know and I'm going to call this the my dog theory. You've heard this before. My dog I think she suspects that I'm smarter than her because I can produce food out of nowhere and she can't. I can open doors. I can drive a car. Like even the dog has some sense that I'm the smart one in the relationship right? But here's the thing. As the smart one in the relationship I have a really clear idea of how smart my dog is. My dog only knows that I'm smarter than her. She doesn't know how much smarter. She doesn't know that I can write and draw comics. That would be like a mind-blowing thing for the dog if she could even understand what those things are. So the situation with the dog and the owner is the same with people. You think that Elon Musk is smarter than you. I do. I think he's smarter than me. But do you know how much? No you don't. You have no way of knowing how much smarter he is. And I think this is where everything's going wrong when we're talking about these top 1% engineers. This is not a job I could get. I was a valedictorian of my school. I went to a good college to get an MBA. Could I be a top 1% engineer? No not even close. Not even close right? And here more to the point I don't even know how much smarter they are. If you've ever met somebody who is just way smarter than you the only thing you knew is that they're smarter than you and maybe a few topics they know more. You don't really know how much smarter they are. You really don't.

So if you're saying we've got plenty of Americans who can do these jobs you have a blind spot. The blind spot is we can't get them in time because you'd have to develop people from birth basically and getting people who are just good enough to be engineers that's not what anybody's talking about. We're not talking about somebody who went to the third best school and finished at the bottom of their class but they got a degree. They're engineers too. We're not talking about them. We're talking about the top 1% who you almost can't even imagine. You can't even imagine how smart they are. So that's what we need to be competitive.

The other thing is this is an existential threat to the country. If we don't lead in AI and robots we're in real trouble. I mean real trouble and fast. We've got to be the quantum computer leaders otherwise somebody builds the quantum computer and hacks everything in the United States and we're all dead. All right so we don't really have options. We've got to press as hard as we can and get every top 1%er no matter where they came from. Now
