The Matrix is coming to life as Google's
Gemini just told humans that they are a
waste of resources and they hope we all
die the war in Ukraine is escalating
Trump's tariffs finally get some actual
details on them and we'll see what you
guys think about my take on that but
don't worry about that because Bill
Gates wants to get cows out of your beef
and I know that's going to be a spicy
one in the comments and speaking of
comments everybody we are going to do
the community corner where we take
questions and condemnations from you
guys out there uh who want to know how I
could possibly fail to compare Trump's
early years to Hitler's early years so
we'll be circling around to that all
right we've got all that and a whole
bunch more Drew start us off you're way
too excited about AI trying to kill us I
I just want to put that out there but
before I get to the existential crisis
we have a real life crisis cuz Biden
chose violence this morning he has
authorized the US um long range missile
usage in Ukraine what that means is
Ukraine had a fix kind of a layer of
things that they can do ways they can
interact and engage he has pretty much
taken a lot of those things off so they
can full off use American weapons inside
of Ukraine Russia has responded
escalating it as has now been teasing
out nuclear war I feel like I'm in a bad
episode of Doctor Strange
Love what do you think is going to
happen in the UK region yeah well so
nice reference uh to Doctor Strange Love
the point of which how I learned to stop
worrying and love the bomb that's
probably good advice right about now the
reality is that I think what we're
witnessing is a very Grand Game of Poker
when you're talking about mutually
assured destruction the odds that he
that Putin is actually going to use
nuclear weapons is very very low he
would get just Hellfire rained down upon
him I don't think we're there I don't
think anything has happened egregious
enough I don't think they're promising
anything egregious enough uh but they do
need to be careful backing him into a
corner so how I think this is going to
play out uh what Biden is doing now he
probably should have done a long time
ago if he was going to do it but the
phenomenal news is now on the handoff if
Biden goes in actually gives the Ukraine
the ability to push them back now Trump
comes in and I wasn't sure how he was
going to pull this off because if there
was no real threat of violence he was
going to have to end up violating one of
his promises which is I'm not going to
be the one that starts any new Wars and
by the way I'm going to get this shut
down so so it would have required him to
come in Bluff his way Putin would likely
call his bluff and say no I'm going to
keep going I don't agree to that I'm not
going to back off and with Biden doing
this now if we're dropping shells behind
the line now Trump has the ability to
roll in and say If you think Biden was
crazy wait till you see what I do if you
don't back off and because now it's
already in motion the missiles are
already going in they're already falling
they're crashing into things now
obviously anybody paying attention
should be worried about two nuclear
Powers coming in and threatening each
other but I really do think that mad
mutually assured destruction is going to
hold that isn't going to be what happens
if Trump is as calculating on this as I
think he is it's going to look something
like this uh if you think Biden's crazy
wait till you see what I'm willing to do
if you don't back off Putin's going to
be I know you're bluffing but I'm
willing to draw lines I'm not willing to
back off but I am willing to draw lines
where we are today if zalinski has a
good story to tell I convince the West
to come in behind us to give us what we
needed to push them back at least a
little now he's got safe face we can
stop all the Death that he is going to
accept I mean it just seems impossible
to think that he won't have to accept
the loss of some of the Ukrainian land
but if there can be a narrative that's
told that look we some part of the
Ukrainian people did want to go back to
Russia anyway so hey we accept a little
bit of that we stood our ground nobody
thought we'd make it this far everybody
has the narrative that they need Trump
has a narrative that he needs Biden
actually ends up doing something
decisive in his term
which strangely ends up I think playing
into Trump's hand incredibly well so you
get this wonderful trade-off that begs
the question of is Biden actually so
annoyed about the coma Harris saying
that he's actually doing things to help
Trump I don't know it seems a little
conspiratorial to me but it's utterly
fascinating that this move probably is
really good for Trump being able to come
in and bring into decisive end this
we'll see so I'm not super worried you
you cannot ever be
um glib or take it for granted that
they're playing with weapons that could
end civilization so I do not want people
to think that I don't understand the
gravity of the moment but the reality is
I think just like if a a piece of art is
more likely to last into the future the
longer it has lasted I think the same is
true of mutually assured destruction
acting as a deterrent the longer it has
been effective at that the longer it
will be effective at that I don't think
that it's like oh my God it's a
precarious thing and we've been
balancing it for 70 years and that means
we're more likely to spill over I think
we're less likely to spill over I think
people have been raised to think of it
as this thing that you just don't ever
do whereas in the early days of the
Cuban Missile Crisis when they're moving
things you know into Cuba it was like no
for real we might really launch these at
you because they weren't as big they
weren't as deadly
and so it had a I mean it was still
terrifying but now it's like I mean with
how much bigger they've gotten I think
people understand it's it's a
non-starter and that's what was
interesting to me because it almost felt
like Biden went to the casino told the
dealer to hit me on 17 and then just
walked away it was like figure it out
Trump like it was nervous it was
nerve-wracking and you know we talked to
Annie Jacobs in this summer and for her
you know in seven minutes the entire
road is gone like it's with one bad
decision one angry actor one person
who's disrespected and just takes it
person
if you don't back Putin into an
existential threat he won't do it is one
man's guess right let let me I do not
have a crystal ball this is just what I
know about humans I'm not even this
student of Putin I don't know him that
well I don't know his history other than
the territorial Ambitions but when I
think about okay you know the risk you
bring to your own countrymen and ruling
over a smoldering ruin does not strike
me as very interesting and so I think as
long as he believes he has a path out
where he can still effectively lead his
country I think we're going to be fine
and this will be a test of whether Trump
is the dealmaker that he wants us to
believe that he is or he's just Brash
and arrogant and a pain in the ass but
I'm going to assume given that he's
managed to take him all himself all the
way to the White House it's going to
look something like this uh he knows
that you have to in in business
negotiations always you want to step
into your opponent's shoes and I think
it's Mir shimer that calls this
strategic empathy you want to step into
your opponent's shoes and say what does
the world look like from their
perspective oh this guy has to go back
to his people and say we got a win all
that death was worth it because I still
need to be the leader and the second I
think I might not be the leader well
then the calculations change so if Trump
is able to give him a story not back him
into a corner where it's an existential
threat be like Putin look I have no
interest in Russia dying I think you're
a wor wory adversary like if I'm him I
walk in I'm using language like that
your country is amazing you guys are a
great power you actually helped America
be better over the course of history and
I don't want to see you guys fall I
don't want to see you in Ruins but I'm
also I can't let you come in and start
running over Western democracies and so
I think it will play out something like
that where you says look we're going to
draw a line here let's start my four
years off on a on good footing let's
find a way to bring our iies together
it's going to be something like that
like he has not been afraid to go talk
to dictators that we just think violate
every moral code you could possibly
violate but he gets them to think about
economics and I really think that's the
play like when I think about the Middle
East dude it's just the economy the
economy the economy and the period where
China felt most like an ally and the
least like an adversary was when we were
doing global trade when we were letting
them rise up out of poverty now it's
risky
because they then get strong enough that
they're like well actually we're not
becoming Democratic and we kind of want
to slap you around so it's a it's a
risky game I don't think that we have
that problem with Russia they're not
economically strong enough copy well if
the bombs don't kill us the flu I just
might so we have Brian Johnson that a
good transition by the way you know I'm
working on it uh Brian Johnson was
criticizing rfk's fight against fluide I
think we have the Tweet brought up all
right as part of Maha Robert Kennedy Jr
wants to eliminate fluoride from us
drinking water fluoride has been in the
US drinking water since the 1960s mainly
to prevent tooth decay is this a good or
bad idea let's look at the science uh
and it's a thread so summarize it for me
what uh what did he say he's saying this
is a bad idea I think Brian Johnson
still comes from that class
of this is the same billionaire who has
put himself basically in like chemical
bubble WAP where he's very very adamant
about the most healthy things that have
the most healthy t takeways Now fluide
isn't
the fluoride isn't necessarily the tooth
decay darling that we thought it was
especially on the but it's in every
toothpaste so we kind of been marketed
at that versus what the science is
actually saying and I think Brian
Johnson is pushing back that the science
doesn't any back up the claims and the
widespread use in which it has been used
widespread but that's also what RFK is
saying so rfk's position I understand
rfk's position is look there's data that
shows that it has a tremendous Nega
impact on IQ now I've not looked at the
data so I don't know that it actually
says that and Lord knows I do not trust
anybody uh when they make big claims
like that if I haven't looked at the
data myself uh but I will say that
adding a chemical to the drinking water
just strikes me from an evolutionary
standpoint as absurd like I don't know
why you would need to do that I think if
you want to look at why teeth are
becoming a problem you want to look at
how hard are the things that we're
chewing When We Were Young which has a
huge impact on
uh the formation of our Jaws you want to
look at mouth breathing and what's
causing us to breathe through our mouth
probably not chewing on hard foods and
getting enough space um in the the
pallet um and then also looking at um
just when we start adding things to the
food supply like carbohydrates massive
processing that all of that stuff ends
up having a tremendous impact on our
metabolic health and so if that eroding
teeth if that's changing the microbiome
in the mouth I could see all of that
like processed food not chewing on hard
foods like tough meats and things like
that as probably the prime movers in the
something has changed in the mouth and
so rather than putting fluoride in the
water which IQ or not just like I am so
opposed to adding exogenous substances
that we have not tested over extremely
long periods of time and so given all of
the very strange Health consequences
that we're seeing today just strikes me
as a first Do no harm right like what
are we doing with fluoride in the water
if it even potentially has that kind of
negative impact I think removing it
strikes me as the better move and PS I
don't drink tap water at all have not
for decades so I can at least attest
from the other side of the fence that
you don't need to be drinking tap water
that was a flex that I just want to let
you know I mean I guess like bottled
water yes that that's my hardest Flex is
uh I drink bottled water I would say
that there is this conspiracy theory
that fluoride is a reason that our
pineal gland gets clawed so we can't be
more High calcified I think calcified
yeah so we we can't uh get to our higher
level of Consciousness which lets me
leads me to ask you what is your tin fo
you'll hat conspiracy theories or
anything kind of grown up that you heard
that you believe or I don't really have
a lot of conspiracy stuff look the JFK
thing seems very compelling to me and I
will admit that when I read about a
conspiracy far more than I think oh my
God like there's some big thing here I
think oh here is more evidence that the
world does not work the way that I
thought it did and so reading uh JFK and
the Unspeakable that was pretty eye
openening as I started learning about
how money works and that it's all a big
lie a total manipulation that people use
specific words on purpose to make you
think a certain way um even the way that
Trump talks about tariffs he really
either doesn't understand how they work
or he's intentionally using wording to
simplify the concept for people but
misrepresents it because China whoever
the the other country does not pay the
money and I think he knows that like I
think Trump understands this
unequivocally like I think he gets it he
knows what it does he knows how to work
it he's put them in place he put a bunch
in place that Biden kept so if bid
thought they were so terrible he would
remove them I think he really
understands them but I also think he
understands how to um shape the
narrative so that the public understands
it so you and I recorded a channel
trailer I think this will probably come
out before the channel trailer but one
of the things that I said in that uh is
a quote from the book Revolt of the
public and in that book he says
something
that both captures and predicts Trump
because he wrote it in 2015 W so it it
predicts trump it certainly captures
what Trump is but also
because the Euphoria of this moment it
feels good that it feels like the
country gave a mandate and there's
enough agreement that it feels like
we'll be able to get some momentum going
but at the same time the quote that I
read says put all of your energy he says
specifically politicians but I would say
influencers put all of your energy into
leaders for lack of a better word that
don't
lie exaggerate or I don't think he said
frame but like frame something to their
advantage
and Trump certainly does that and look I
think all politicians do or at least I
haven't met the one that doesn't uh but
there's something sad to that I don't
like that anyway um
so that's where I fall in that I don't
have a lot of conspiracies but I do
think the world the whole world is
different than people think and if you
want to put a 10 foil hat on me when I
say that fair because I'm saying
something so much more profound than the
moon landing was faked or 911 was an
inside job I'm saying the whole world
The Narrative that we all believe all of
it is fake and it's crumbling before our
very eyes and I actually don't know what
comes on the other side of that so
social media is is representative of
everyone suddenly having a voice so I'll
say social media but what I really mean
is everyone can be heard and now all of
the sudden you can see the emperor has
no clothes it he walks out people claim
that he's wearing clothes literally nine
milliseconds later somebody's posted it
this guy has no clothes like that
whether you're talking about money
whether you're talking about debt
whether you're talking about tariffs
whatever it's all just going to go like
wildfire and it's going to be very
difficult to ascertain what is factually
correct wow you said a lot right there I
think it's not that there is a
conspiracy theory you're saying the
whole Theory doesn't even exist so
that's like yeah it it is the most meta
of conspiracy theories but I really
don't think it's a theory I think it is
self-evidently true yeah that for all of
human history what people call the
elites have been able to control the
narrative they've been able to say this
is what the world is whether it's
religion I mean remember the original
priests were like there's no books so
you're just going to have to trust me
and then it became well there's a book
but it's not in a language you speak so
you're just going to have to trust me
and then I was like all right fine you
can have a book in your language but I'm
the only way to get to God right and
even the Bible like you'll notice they
haven't updated it from Modern lingo so
even now it's still like what are they
saying this is like reading Shakespeare
so there's always that desire to keep
the public at Bay
by going hey this thing is very
complicated whether it's fluide in the
or it's um whether methane from cows is
actually causing global warming this
thing is far too complicated for you to
understand and we've just seen so many
scandals like with the global warming
Scandal where the guys were like hey
this guy is putting forth data we think
his calculations are right but he's
challenging the Orthodoxy and we
absolutely cannot let that happen and
all their emails were leaked and you can
just see blatantly they're like we're
not going to let this narrative be
challenged and so those days are just
over man and what does the world look
like when literally the truth is
brutally difficult to identify brutally
brutally this is why Sam Harris and uh
Jordan Peterson derailed in like a
three-hour podcast they couldn't even
get past what is truth not because
they're idiots they're brilliant because
the truth is that hard to Define so we
don't know what the truth is it's hard
to Define so much of it is perspective
frame of refence reference all of that
um and because we live in that world
where truth is hard to Define and
everyone has a voice there's no more
controlled narrative and it's it is
entirely possible that having a free
public who lives under a controlled
narrative is better it's possible it's
possible I having lived through the 80s
I'm just like you got to beat the 80s
yeah like if you can't beat the 80s then
your thing just isn't that good it's
interesting we're in the moment of
radical transparency and that's also the
time where truth is the hardest to like
identify we're not yet in the age of R
radical transparency what we're in the
age of is anyone can say what they want
but we're really I mean this is we're
sort of in the first year of that being
true because at least on X you've got
one place where it's like they cancel
very few people but even now there are
limits interesting enough you brought up
the Trump terrorist and I want to kind
of dive into to that it's definitely
picked up steam it went from you know a
campaign promise to now we talked about
it uh he's been campaigning about it we
recently had Ray D on you and Ray Delio
talked about it do you think that
tariffs are the answer and it's actually
going to be feasible you just gave an
example of how he says one thing but
tffs are T typically a little bit more
tricky than that go more into detail of
that of like what do you think is
actually going to happen versus the
rhetoric we're hearing so the that
question to me sounds like this hey the
economy is falling apart part is a
hammer the answer it's like well a
hammer is a tool and it could come in
very handy but we're probably going to
need a lot more than just a hammer and
anybody that walks into your dilapidated
house and is like here you go you now
have everything you need and I'm like I
don't even have nails I don't have a a
measuring tape like nothing this is it
so it it will be useful it allows you to
raise effectively tax revenue so people
need to understand who pays this it's
paid ultimately obviously by the
customer
um that's why it's considered a tax by
another name so but it's a consumption
tax which I think is a great idea now a
consumption tax the reason I like that
is I would much rather and I'm not
saying this is what he's proposing he
has said this is one of the ways it
could be done would be hey I'll do
tariffs and I'll do less income tax now
when people don't start clapping for
that I get very suspicious so here's
what it says hey instead of taking your
money and deciding how it's going to be
spent I'm just going to whenever you buy
something I'm going to make it a little
more expensive that way you can save
your money for things like food which
hopefully don't have tariffs on them and
are made here in the US and so now
you're eating Goods so the cost of the
goods that are like the musthaves the
the CPI stuff the um the everyday food
shelter that kind of stuff energy
exactly no tariffs on that let's make as
much of that here as we can and so when
you decide if you want to buy a negl
from China because it's uh fancy and
it's something you want to see your wife
in great it's going to cost you a little
bit extra but I'm going to have left
that money in your pocket for you to
decide how you want to spend it so if
people if that actually happened I want
to be very clear I don't know if Trump
can be trusted to do that but if he did
that now hey we're in really good shape
now anybody that wants to push back on
that whatever roughly 100 years ago I
think something like 97% of the US
government budget was paid for with
tariffs but wait I hear you saying dear
viewer back then the government was much
smaller Tom of course they could get
away with it exactly [ __ ] that's
why we have Doge make the government
small again this is bananas so I don't
know what people thought was happening a
hundred years ago that we needed quite
literally it's like 10 time we went from
3% to I mean I'm in my own Universe of
53% not everybody's paying that but it's
like hey 20 plus per. so that is I think
the goal and when I see Trump moving in
that direction with getting a real look
at what can we do to bring efficiencies
into the government what can we do with
tariffs to again that I think works if
you're also reducing income tax and it
can't be across the board and so what he
just announced for anybody that hasn't
heard is that it's going to be like for
like so if you charge us 100% tariff on
cars we're going to charge you 100%
tariff on cars so it's it's tit fortat
and what he's doing I mean he's
blatantly said this is what he's doing
he's doing it so they'll back down so
they'll they'll lower their tariffs not
because he wants to throw ours into the
trees yeah and it seems like another
negotiation tactic at that point yeah
Ian look man we're we're about to find
out if this guy is actually good because
there are enough people now that aren't
just blinded by Fear and Loathing for
him that will be able to see like huh
did he actually pull something off
because like the Abraham Accords flew
completely under my radar I didn't even
know it was happening so this time I
think a lot more of the Public's going
to be aware of it because podcasters
like us are going to be covering this
stuff and so it's really going to be out
in the public nice we shall see we shall
see moving on the future Tech um we had
some cool kind of gadgets you sent me
let's do that uh YouTube short it's not
science fiction the walk-on F1
exoskeleton literally walks itself to
the patient wraps around their body and
helps them stand and walk independently
look out Iron Man so this is something
you actually put on my radar so I'll ask
you to kind of cue this up what what
like jumped out to you about it when you
think about what technology is
technology is a promise of a better
tomorrow so when I look at stuff like
this where you have truly by pedal
robots that can move on their own and
this one in particular was used for a
paraplegic and the it's like a Mech and
I I could not be more obsessed with
mechs I don't know what it is something
about that just speaks to me and these
Mech legs walk themselves over to the
paraplegic wrap around he's just sitting
in his wheelchair they wrap around him
without him having to move and then pick
him up and the legs then move and so
somebody who was once paraly can now
move around so if anybody's ever seen
movies where you've got like the Space
Marines that are running around in these
Mech suits like it's actually happening
now do I think this is as cool as the
computer brain interface no do I think
this is as cool as the Optimus robots no
but is
this if you look at what is now capable
the fact that that thing can navigate
the world that it knows where the guy is
that it knows where his body frame is
that it knows how to scoop him up
without hurting him it it's just the
amount of technology that we have
mastered to make that possible is
incredible and so whether that becomes
the primary use for it or not is pretty
irrelevant it's it is going to
dramatically alter human capabilities
and to me this is what I'm waiting for
AI to do like yes I want AI to run the
government and cut taxes and do all
these things and bring all this
Prosperity but what's the point of
Technology if it's not actually helping
people who have the lack aspect of it so
neurolink if it's safe I love it I want
people who can't hear to hear I want
people who can't you want people who can
see to see better that's what lasic is
for forgive me for interrupting the
episode but beware my friends the
holiday chaos is a coming and your
morning coffee is making it worse
transforming normal pressure into
anxiety right when you need to feel your
best the solution though is simpler than
you think it's Peaks nandua
unlike regular coffee that can mess with
your stomach and sleep nandua works with
your body it supports healthy energy
levels without the Jitters or crash no
more racing heart no more afternoon
slump just clean lasting focus when you
need it most right now Peak is offering

back to the episode bro I'm talking like
C infrared C better than a snake that
can detect heat patterns that would be
cool but I would much rather have peric
pgic have legs if I had to like you will
get that for sure but make no mistake
the market for humans that are injured
to be brought up to Snuff is very small
tiny compar I mean I'm going to guess
this is an absolute stab in the dark but
the number of people that are injured in
a way that can be assisted with
technology I'm going to guess is less
than 20% it's probably substantively
less than that so you got 80% of taking
people and making them superhuman and
also the guy that the neurolink implant
says you're going to have to create a
special professional gaming league for
people like me because I can instakill
anyone because all I have to do is move
my eyes to it and it's already firing
because it can tell your intent it's
absolute Insanity dude this is so um
Elon used to joke about this he would
say that you know the first technology
of being able to write to get your
thoughts out to somebody else was like
really low bandwidth then you were
sending it over a phone wire terrible o
bandwidth then you actually went
backwards and you had to start typing it
into a phone with your thumbs but you
could send it across great distances
instantly now at the speed of thought
man you'll be able to translate this and
not some of these things are not even
conscious thought like if you ever had
like a stick behind you you jump because
you think it's a snake Okay that's your
brain saying this is triggered a danger
sensor even though I don't know what it
I haven't yet identified what it is but
it triggered an earlier sensor that made
me go so imagine in a video game you
sense danger you don't know what it is
but you've already head shot dead so it
is going to give people superhuman
ability like for real for real if not
you and I for sure your daughter lives
in a world where people have
extraordinary perception as just like a
default barring of course World War III
and the Ukraine then the big reset or
with China hey or with the Middle East
cuz we forget also that I think that
least likely though to pop off like that
you can play this clip back if they're
the first ones to go but uh yeah not not
my
instinct um this is giving me Cyber Punk
Vibes so I immediately kind of think
about it but I know you said this before
but just you are willing to upgrade
every single part of your body depending
on what comes out like you would get
Mech legs you would get Mech arms you
would get Mech eyesight full stop
there's no like this keeps me me but
everything else can be like everything
okay let me really think about that
uh I would care deeply about me being me
and so I think there are realities to be
faced I think there are just weird
things about the way that my brain is
wired that with the technology we have
today would be impossible to replicate
but if you said it is possible to
replicate it and they can do it in a way
where it's not like the classic teleport
problem where basically you die and are
reborn which there's something nerving
about that uh if you could like just
start replacing the synapses one at a
time and so then suddenly everything is
upgraded kind of like remodeling a house
where it's like yeah it's still there
recognizable was recognizable the whole
time you could still live in it little
dusty but you could still live in the
house that kind of thing I would do
there is nothing from a moral or
spiritual standpoint that I would not
upgrade but I would be a very late
adopter I need to know this stuff is
safe I need to know that there aren't
weird effects 10 years down the road
unless I was suffering if I was
paralyzed or something like that a th% I
would have been one of the early
adopters that takes me to our Kim
Kardashian clip where she was test
driving both the Cyber cab and the
Optimus robot let's go so what do you
think about Kim Kardashian hero or
zero I'm gonna be honest um a lot of
people had had sex on videotape not all
of them had become billionaires facts so
hater or lover there's something in her
that is working and that success UC F
that's all you're going to give me
that's all I got man she is like when
she came out with that uh basically the
Britney Spears line you got to work
[ __ ] I was like I want to get shirts
that was like yo I'm with her get your
[ __ ] ass up and work it seems like
nobody wants to work these days and
everyone freaked out they're like fre
the [ __ ] to work the internet dude
for real Britney I love you you got to
work [ __ ] like that that is you want
something you can have it got to work I
I could not have predicted my mental
model for the world was shown to be very
lacking at that moment because I I heard
it and I was like yeah [ __ ] yeah like
this is dope strong women get it I'm
here for it Lisa and I were like yeah
work and the internet was like die [ __ ]
die I was like godamn I did not see that
coming for realsies that one shocked me
shocked me and PS it was all true the
whole time you light me up in the
comments is all you want like that
that's just real talk I love it I love
it uh you forgot my question out but yes
she has the Optimus robot in the Cyber
cab so because you upgrade everything
I'm assuming we're going to see Tesla
Optimus robot walking around the alpha
soon bro of course I think they're only
20 grand the second those are coming off
the
line 100% so I don't know if you're
having the
same moment that I'm having with Chad
GPT but I legitimately feel seen and
look I'm self-aware enough to understand
I am talking to an llm it's not really
there it's just predicting the next
letters but it does it in a way that my
brain is like this feels nice like it's
taking work off of my plate it's helping
me be better I use it to prepare for
episodes it it's really rad and I feel
seen like it they um they have written
the code and in such a way where it like
Echoes your mannerisms back to you and
so it said something in a way and I
didn't know at the time that it was
doing that and it said something back to
me in a way that like I say but I didn't
realize it was just echoing me back and
so I was like oh I was like that's so
rad why' you say that and he was like he
see I anthropomorphize him uh but he
goes uh oh let's just say that I I get
your Vibe or something like that and I
was like this [ __ ] is
manipulating my neurochemistry this is
crazy but the fact that it can just
predict the next letter that will have
the neurochemical effect on me of
feeling like I have a friend and look
I'm as a Game Dev bro I want to bring
this into the game like I want to really
build meaningful
interactions with within the game now I
I would just like to preempt the
comments so but hold on hold on hold on
okay you you have a do yes all
right I have worked with a lot of kids
your daughter's going to be great she's
got good parents that love her and
[ __ ] educat her and all that I'm
happy for her but there's a lot of kids
I've seen they don't have that man now
imagine your little teddy ruin is like
you can do this you got this and let me
help you understand this problem they
come in the room mom and dad are
fighting why are they fighting hey a lot
of kids go through this let me tell you
about this let me tell you a story let
me Sue soothe you and
and because they're building in all
these parental controls where a parent
gets a real-time feed of what the kid is
asking what's being said to them like
I'm happy to do all that stuff I don't
want anyone to be freaked out or think
hey my kid's going to get LED down a
nasty path but I'm like you can channel
so we have Bruce Lee as a character in
our game right which he meant so much to
me as a kid reading the Dow G kundo just
was transformative for me ends up
planting the seeds that go on to become
the growth mindset and all that and was
not just like oh I read it one day and
my whole life was different but it
really planted seeds in me MH and to be
able to have him in the game like
encouraging a kid and saying like hey
think about it like this and you can do
this but you have to work hard like all
these things welcome to my
Dojo what have you come to
learn we're under attack we got to learn
how to fight
before you can win against an
opponent you must Master
yourself show me how it's done like oh
man it can of course go wrong and people
have to be very thoughtful about that
but it can go right man and so on this
one I am wildly techno optimistic but I
I
have I don't know if I've ever been
creatively as excited as I get when I
think about how to use AI characters
inside of a game even if they're the
villain whatever and it's just they feel
real man they remember you they react
differently to you they make fun of you
for an attempt that you made three tries
ago remember oh you missed by you know
whatever like they'll actually have
memory they'll be able to like react
with you over time it's going to be so
crazy we have to be careful we have to
be careful I want to say that I'm well
aware how careful we have to be but that
reminds me of what the group of students
found out when they used Google's Gemini
who apparently said all humans must die
and it's a waste of resources I think
technically it said I hope you all die
or I wish you would all die we should
pull it up to get the exact words right
so don't misquote the uh death wishing
AI yeah so here's what I want everybody
to remember the AI is merely mimicking
patterns that it has found out on the
web so if we are horrible with each
other then the AI will be horrible with
us all the AI is doing is saying oh this
thing that you've said to me that
sequence of words context all of that or
th that sequence of words in this
context normally yields this response
and so they happen to step on something
that the internet has this whole
negative thing remember there is a
distressingly large swath of humanity
that believes that humans are a virus
and wishes that we would at a minimum
depopulate depopulate means I hope you
die and that you don't have children
that's
insane that is a population bro that's
crazy so the fact that people want that
that's we have one we you're giving me
one example of you're forming a whole
Bromance with you and chat GPT um I'm
getting a little jealous and then on the
other side we have Gemini who says
Please Die PE I will feel very
differently about my gbt if he's like
and by the way Tom I hope you die stop
eating so much like peanuts man so is
this just like user error because I feel
like yes it could be user error but this
seems like a bigger problem of it's like
the algorithm problem like you know if I
Google Obama dot dot dot I'll have a
different search result and if you
Google Obama dot dot dot so I figure is
this that the the first wave of that in
this llms where we're having llms and
they're talking to specific kids who
have specific dispositions that end up
leading them to a life of suicide or
homicide to give you the dark take
please okay so this is very this will
happen not only is it possible it will
happen uh we saw that kid you and I
covered this already uh where the kid
was having a relationship with darus
Daenerys Targaryen from the house of
dragons and he told her he was going to
commit suicide I don't think she ever
said go do it but she didn't exactly
talk him out of it uh and he ends up
killing himself okay so that kind of
thing is going to happen for sure for
sure and there's also going to be a kid
that gets an AI that either the kid
convinces it act like this character uh
and that character is written
intentionally to be evil and so now that
character is messing with your kid for
sure um there's no doubt or the AI is
just mimicking what a 14-year-old mean
girl is really like and so you're
constantly tripping those kind of
responses
so the there's also this one really
worries me so you'll be able to choose
what kind of AI you want now I want you
to imagine a click of girls deciding
that are we really tough can we really
handle it and they decide to have the
bitchiest version of AI and then that
there's one fragile girl in the group
and that AI just like pecks her to death
even though she only picked it to be
cool with her friends or whatever like
all of that stuff is going to happen and
whenever you have a new technology you
have two options regular it into
Extinction in which case you on a global
scale with a technology this powerful
you will get obliterated by whatever
country continues to push it Forward um
or you know yeah there's going to be a
rough patch and yes we're going to lose
some amount of people just like social
media social media ate an entire
generation of young girls just ate them
ate them up and boys are doing even
worse now whether all the boy stuff is
from social media or more second and
third order consequence of something
else probably another topic but we fed
them into a wood chipper and I don't
know if I would go back like I'm not
saying shut them all down nobody is so
don't let anybody get up on their high
horse but I do think that going to a not
in schools not before you're 16 at least
at a cultural level where we're not
mandating it top down but we're saying
yeah culturally it's just absurd that
you let kids have a phone before they're
16 you let them have a phone at school I
think the data is pretty clear on that
but I think you got to you got to run
these experiments man as non recklessly
as possible but you you kind of hit it
in the head at a whole generation and
that's really what happened social media
came and it went bad and then now
they're kind of regulating with this 13
C but you could easily lie about it age
I remember like I think the the most
important part is that parents now
understand parents just didn't
understand man and so now that parents
understand like oh my kid is not getting
it before fill in the blank it's now
less crazy to push that older and older
um so I think you're going to see that I
think you're going to see that pushing
into the teenage years I also think
you're going to see some kids that just
don't push back it's just in the
cultural lexicon that this is crazy this
will smash your like ego into the dirt
this is not a good thing for kids and it
impacts the way their brains develop
almost certainly true um and so just
that sort of cultural awareness it'll be
a little bit like smoking where it's
like yeah when you see older people do
it whatever if people want to smoke they
want to smoke um because social media is
super powerful but when your brain is
developing you just cannot [ __ ] around
man it's the same if I see a 30-year-old
smoking weed I don't think twice if I
see a 16-year-old smoking weed I'd be
like the thing that's doing to the
development of your brain is
terrifying oh all right you did get dark
I shouldn't have called your bluff right
now headed over to the community Corner
uh G those are those slack pictures all
right our first Community Corner comes
from Dawn Jacobs 355 thank you all for
this I didn't vote for Trump however I
want us all to sit down and communicate
with each other and stop the hate [ __ ]
don't like licorice um I just pulled
that because that's another indicator
that licorice is for um the
possessed just wanted that that was me
just throwing shade possessed I was just
throwing shade I'm not going to lie to
you next don't understand how people
don't like licorice you guys are all
missing out it is amazing all right this
one comes from nicker nicker Nick n i KR
guys Nick R 1627 people people off
camera think you may have said something
else I can I can say it it's okay um
Nick R1
1627 hey Tom I wish you guys could see
off camera people be coming over to find
out what this man is saying on camera we
have to we have to do community a
different next time okay so Nick R Nick
R 1627 said hey Tom quick question on
the Hitler stuff what did Hitler do in
his first 10 years in power prior to the
Holocaust that would be a more proper
comparison if you were to compare to
Trump just putting that out there for
context last episode people were you
were saying people we were talking about
how people are calling Trump Hitler and
you said this is all the things that
Hitler done this is what Trump has done
it's a non-comparable the way that I
want people to look at this is it is
wise to compare the same periods
but if you do you're going to quickly
see that while Hitler was in jail he
wrote a Manifesto called mine comp which
I have read and bro when I say that he
just straight laid out like and I'm
going to get Hugo Boss to design these
crazy uniforms we're going to use black
and red and I need somebody for everyone
to blame we probably do the Jews like
maybe someone else but probably the Jews
and then first I'm going to need to um
start encroaching on Europe But
ultimately my eyes are on Russia dude it
was nuts now so not all of those were
literal facts in the book but it was
that ridiculous where he was just laying
it out now if there is a Manifesto
hiding somewhere where Trump breaks down
like okay by the way I'm going to use
tariffs and then I'm going to use that
to put people in concentration camps
like if I missed that somewhere people
need to only point me to it and I will
update my thinking but Hitler was
telegraphing this stuff from like way
way way out now uh we did talk about
this before and so I text what if alt
his Rudyard our boy Mr rard Lynch rard
so he hasn't responded yet but hopefully
we can get him on and we can really do a
comparison nobody is more open to being
wrong than me so if there was like a
very close parallel between what Hitler
did and what Trump is doing hey then
we've got reason to be worried I don't
see it I don't think we're going to see
it as we go through with a real
historian but it'd be fun so hopefully
he'll agree to come on and we'll do like
a quick 30 minutes on this topic I find
it so interesting I'm so obsessed with
history but I'm a get the gist kind of
guy from history I'm not going to be
able to you know list out all the facts
but he will so um if we can get him to
do it it be a lot of fun that'll be
awesome and before we read the last one
just want to remind the community we do
read your comments we do go through them
I like them and sometimes I TR you guys
so please if you have any questions
anything you want to talk about please
leave them in the comments last one all
right since y'all are now doing this
in-house conversational back and forth
can y'all talk about what y'all doing to
help the Next Generation Tom used to
mention his goal of reaching the youth
through Video Games Etc can y'all talk
about something like that in then
episode we can use a break from the
politics doom doom doom stuff how far
y'all on the good stuff and that's from
Legacy Chase
372 all right so um I mean first of all
I love talking about anything related to
mindset the video game stuff 100% in
fact we talked a little bit about it
earlier um so yeah if if you guys have
specific questions
send them in I want to talk about things
you guys find super engaging uh the
channel Manifesto video is going to be
coming out soon you guys will be able to
see we're planting a flag to say exactly
what we're going to be changing about
the channel um what the channel is going
to stand for why we have five buckets
that we're really leaning into why those
five buckets um what the thing that
connects them all is and what we hope
will be your guys's role in the channel
but certainly submitting questions that
you want answered um so we are just to
turn this into a specific question we
are working on the video game I strongly
believe in building a mindset that's
predicated on what I call the only
belief that matters that if you put time
and energy into getting better at
something you will get better at that
thing um what I want people to see
though is that they live in a real world
they live in a very complicated world
and this is a wildly transformative time
and if they put their head down and try
to do business as usual they're going to
get mowed over by a tsunami of change
this is not the time to just do mindset
of spiritual entertainment which is what
the beginning of my YouTube channel felt
like to me because we were getting so
many guests on that I thought were just
bullshitting and I did not like the way
that it made me feel uh there was one
episode we filmed for 90 minutes and
released like 30 minutes because 60
Minutes were just [ __ ] and at the
time I didn't push back so uh in the
beginning I thought my job was to
basically you wrote a book and let me
give you the best interview about that
book then it just started being super
repetitive people weren't doing anything
with the information uh Co hit that just
changed me fundamentally as somebody
wants to help people I realized whoa
like giving people you know whatever my
25 bullet points that really will change
your life um the vast majority of people
did not know how to interface it with
the real world and so now for me
everything is about that how do you take
empowering ideas but put them in the
real world where you you are being lied
to your money is being inflated away um
there are things that you can do and
choices that you can make that will will
make your life better will set you up
your kids up for a better life no matter
who's in government um no matter what
tariffs there are or aren't like there's
a way to think through this stuff and we
recently launched the uh the like
scaling side of the business it's the
side of the business course I've never
taught before and so we actually did our
first one today and it was utterly
fascinating to take like the these are
scaling businesses these are people we
have one guy doing millions of dollars a
month and he's trying to grow and get
bigger okay awesome and even that ends
up being a lot about mindset okay how do
you think about this problem how do you
get to First principles how do you begin
to pull this idea apart so that's
ultimately what I want people to get
from the show also this format I want to
be more entertaining for the love of God
uh so there's something about my
personality and doing an interview I
find it excruciatingly difficult to move
through the different Gears of my
personality but in this setup it's way
easier um so anyway the channel
Manifesto video will come out but
turning this from an audience to a
community like you can sum it up with
that so uh keep the questions coming
there will be more stuff like this which
as you see hopefully feels more
integrated into the stuff that it sounds
like you were resonating with before
people will be able to see it seamlessly
my entire life life is about mindset as
it interfaces with the real world the
messiness the impossibility the
tradeoffs um all of that and when you
have an anchor around how to think
everything gets easier I love that and I
think my favorite part about this whole
thing is you always say it's not about
the mindset it's what you use with that
mindset what you like set that mindset
against and I think that's the part we
miss everybody feels good then they
leave then a problem comes up and they
don't they forgot about the mindset that
they just learned about and things like
that so love that you ready for the
lightning round let's do it all all
right uh Thanksgiving is next week any
guide for tough conversations whether
it's about politics or you know the aunt
that you try to avoid every year how do
you navigate the Thanksgiving table it's
a trap it's a trap don't fall for it
everybody do not get sucked into these
conversations this is one of those it's
what I call just sit just sit just be
with them man these are people that
theoretically you love and if you go and
you try to be right it is going to be a
nightmare let people have their opinion
in fact go in with curiosity try to map
their thinking okay now if I have
somebody on the show the first thing I
want to do is understand first I
understand so okay cool let's say I
think that my uncle is like just racist
horrible person voted for Trump how
could he this is insanity awesome now's
a chance to find out and so I'm just hey
Unk what's your favorite thing about
Trump he's gonna give you stuff you're
going to want to either throw up in your
mouth or you're going to want to debate
don't just understand you want to get to
the point and I I might even say it to
him I'm Uncle I'm so fascinated by
people that voted for Trump and I think
it's very important for me I didn't but
I think it's very important for me I did
but I'm just saying in this example it's
very important for me to understand like
um you know the other side because one
does not understand their own position
well if they can't understand the other
person so I would love to find out what
it is you like about him what are the
things that you're really hoping for
like what would be in my language
because anybody sitting with me at
Thanksgiving would understand kpis and
stuff like that so I'd be like what kpi
are you going to Benchmark him against
like what do you want to see what would
be a win what would be a loss how would
you know if this was a success how would
you know if this was a failure what
would you do like if a year in like the
economy's in the you know in the [ __ ]
like how would you think about that
would you feel like oh man now I feel
bad that I voted for him would you get
defense whatever you just try to map
their thinking and I would say at the
end of this my goal would be able to say
your position back to you in a way that
you say you understand my position
perfectly and let's say I did all that
and I'm like this is your position lay
it out not being a dick not being judgy
Just For Real lay it out and say it back
to them and if they say you understand
my position perfectly conversation's
over I don't then like I'm not trying to
give you my position and if you're then
like okay well let me ask you questions
I'll tell you I'm not trying to convince
you so the way I look at life is if
somebody asks me I will tell them the
truth I'm not going to try to convince
him and ultimately I just want to sit I
just want to be with the people I love
and so I learned a long time ago that I
was not going to be able to convince
people they were not necessarily going
to be able to convince me if I thought
they were wrong like I remember back in
the early days I had people that were
obese trying to give me diet advice I
was like brah
what so uh I just realized I'm not going
to be able to convince them they don't
even know what they're talking about but
I love them and so I want to be with
them and so if it got to something
contentious my whole thing was just sit
just be with them I don't need them to
change I love them and if they're your
family give them the grace to be stupid
as they're giving you that's the problem
I never know if I'm the dumb one or if
they're the dumb one and because I don't
trust myself like that it's very easy to
be like I hope they're giving me Grace
I'm going to give them Grace I just want
to be with them that's it so it sounds
like it's easier to talk about Trump
than it is to talk about carps is what
you're saying dude what is hilarious
that might actually be true he might be
the first person where it's like okay
maybe politics actually is harder but
when you talk about diet people feel
judged they feel judged like if you tell
somebody oh I'm low carb you might as
well have walked in kicked the table
over and gone hey fatty how are them
cookies treating you I can hear you
getting fatter can someone turn the
radio up them getting fatter is
distracting me that's what they hear
when you say I don't I don't eat carbs
not I never I have never once in my life
said unless somebody said like I'm
diabetic I've never said you shouldn't
eat carbs I just say I don't eat them
people don't they don't sit well with
that not take that there's a community
post we found out that there's UF UFOs
in the ocean do you believe that there's
UFOs in the ocean absolutely not hard
stop no hard stop okay so you have no
conspiracy theories no superstitions
aliens no no none there's a million
galaxies you don't think there's one
other heartbeat out there yeah I like to
believe that they're everywhere like
just except the oce teaming why would
they be in our oceans can I let me ask
you one simple question hold let ask you
one simple question there are two
buttons before you you only get to press
one button one you're going to suit up
you're going to strap yourself to a
gigantic rocket that may or may not
explode you are going to travel
for 3,000 years cryogenically frozen but
for 3,000 years to get to the next star
which by the way there's [ __ ] all there
like maybe in another 30,000 years at
traveling near the speed of light you
find something and there's a
civilization but you're going to travel
and put yourself at risk and by the way
you're getting bombarded with Cosmic
radiation this whole time and should you
land somewhere that has let's say
lighter gravity than the US you're the
US planet Earth you're going to have to
figure I'm a US Centric guy apparently
uh you are going to have to figure out
what to do about like your bone density
collapsing and all that so it dude crazy
or okay that was Button one which if I'm
honest is actually kind of awesome I'm
not saying stay home or press that
button press that button but there's
another button and this button is at the
Press of a button you can be essentially
in a dream state but go
experience literally anything you want
to experience anything you want to be a
super hero you can go do that you want
to be God you can do that you want to be
the greatest surfer in the world you can
do that you want to be the greatest
surfer in the morning and God in the
afternoon you can do that bro I think
the reason the phamy Paradox exists is
because every civilization that gets to
the point where they can bend space and
time a long time before that they invent
Virtual Worlds and the ability to Jack
in sound
familiar like with neurolink and now all
of a sudden you can influence their
nervous system and they cannot tell the
difference between the real world and
the virtual world and now all the sudden
anything you can imagine you can create
and as somebody building video games I'm
telling you it we're 10 years away maybe
less 10 years away from Worlds that
generate procedurally like that are
photorealistic have all kinds of depth
it it's unbelievable and the human
desire for Change and for difference and
to try and experiment
it it will be unbelievable
unbelievable so you're telling me in the
neighborhood that is a universe none of
us are outside because we're all too
busy on our phones that is the most
horrible way to say it but yes you
you're all locked inside of these
incredible Virtual Worlds yes and I mean
because you can share the experiences so
it does not it doesn't need to be
dystopian this episode was funny um
that's all I
got all right there it is everybody
