number is invalid, it doesn't change whether you can vote? Does that look like they're even trying to have a credible system or does it look like no matter what the situation is, if you're going to vote Democrat, you're definitely going to be able to vote? Kind of looks like the latter. Pretty sketchy looking.

But you know, I feel like there's a version of Gell-Mann amnesia that applies here to our election systems. Now I'll remind you what Gell-Mann amnesia is. Most of you have heard it a hundred times. But that's the idea that there was this physicist, his name was Gell-Mann, and he noticed that when he saw stories about physics and he knew what was true and what wasn't, he could tell that the story was fake or full of errors. But then he would turn the page on what was the newspaper at the time and he'd see the next story and he would just assume that the next story is probably accurate. And then finally after seeing that pattern for years, wait a minute. Could it be true that every time I see a story that I know the truth, I can tell the reporting is wrong, but every time I see a story where I don't have any expertise, I assume it's true? Isn't it more likely that they're all fake or nearly all fake? And so that's the Gell-Mann amnesia.

But there's a version of that that we do. And it's not that, but I'm sort of reminded of it. And it needs its own name. We'll call it the Scott Adams amnesia. Yeah, that's it. Let's call it Scott Adams amnesia because you get to name it after who comes up with it, right?

So Scott Adams amnesia is that you read a story in the newspaper about, let's say, the charities in Minnesota stealing a billion dollars and then you turn the page and it's a story about some other criminal behavior in the government and you turn the page and you find out that some other big money entity was also stealing your money and then you turn the page to the story about our elections and it says our elections are pristine. Even though they're run by different people with different processes and different states and precincts, every one of them has got a pristine perfect record. And even if there was some little problem, it wouldn't be anything important.

And so we live in a world in which everything is corrupt except for our election systems. Now, Scott Adams amnesia says you could not possibly believe that our election systems are pristine if you've noted that every other thing is not right. You don't have to have specific information about what's wrong with their elections. You don't need that. You don't need specific proof. You don't need a court case. If everything else is corrupt, come on. Everything else is corrupt. This is th
