Chapter 1: What is the highlight of this Thanksgiving episode?
Podcasters who are taking the morning off. Nope, not me. I know you're going to be here, so. Damn it, I'm going to be here too. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do-do-do. All right, good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, Thanksgiving style.
This is going to be an amazing day, but if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or sign, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine.
At the end of the day, the thing that gives you more oxytocin than you've ever felt in your whole life is called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. So good. Well, Paul, I appreciate you every day, but especially today. Owen, appreciate you like crazy. Marcella, Erica, appreciate you all like crazy. I'm not naming everybody, but I could. I could name every one of you.
I would be quite happy that I get to spend some time with you every day. Well, President Trump has given us his thanksgiving. greeting Happy Thanksgiving to all, including the radical left lunatics who have worked so hard to destroy our country, but who have failed miserably. Now, the funny thing is that my robots read news yesterday.
I anticipated this, and my joke was about Trump mocking people while he was saying Happy Thanksgiving. Nailed it. Joy Reid is telling... People that they have no reason to spend time around Trump supporters and that they, when the holidays come, there's no reason that they should welcome them or be around them at all.
So in other words, Joy Reid said the Democrats should stay the fuck away from Republicans. Does it feel like the entire universe is starting to tilt my way? No. Joy Reid telling people to stay the fuck away from Republicans. She didn't use the F word, but she could have, because that was what she said. She actually said you should stay away from them.
Don't interact with them over Thanksgiving with your family. Your family you shouldn't interact with. Okay. Well, I think that's just good, solid advice from Joy Reid. Here's something I didn't see coming. So you know how for the last year or so I've been telling you, that America needs to create a habit of taking a walk after dinner. And you probably said to me, Scott, that's boring.
Stop saying you have to take a walk after dinner. And now NPR has a big article about how important it is to take a walk after dinner. What I didn't know is that apparently it's very common in Europe. I guess it's a normal thing in Europe to take a walk after a big meal. And it's good for your health in a bunch of ways, I don't need to tell you.

Chapter 2: Why is taking a walk after dinner important?
But did you know that on TikTok, this is interesting, but there's a viral TikTok, there are viral TikTok videos extolling the virtues of walking after a meal. Although they call them fart walks because they say that's a good way to relieve yourself. So when I started saying you should take walks, a year ago, did you think it would be an article in NPR and then viral on TikTok by now?
I swear to God, I must be running this simulation because I've never tried to make a big deal out of taking a walk before. And now a normal source and the TikTok source are both saying take a walk after dinner. I've got a feeling that Kennedy is going to say something about that, too. You will not be surprised that there's yet another big breakthrough in battery technology.
Carbon nanotube powders, according to No Ridge. You don't need to know too much about it, except it's a South Korea company. They made a big advance with new carbon nanotubes. Battery technology. It's happening. Did you know that according to the University College of London, They can now use AI to predict the outcome of neuroscience studies before seeing the data or before doing the study.
So all they do is they say, hey, AI, we're going to study to see if this is true or that is true. And this is mostly, I think, in the social domain, not in the physics kind of experiment, but more the social psychology kind of domain. And would you be surprised to know that your large language model AIs can guess the outcome about 81% of the time? They don't even need to do the experiment.
The AI experiments can tell them what it's going to do like eight out of ten times. Now, they kind of do need to do the experiment. But eight out of ten times, the AI just tells them what the outcome is going to be. Now, do you remember how I always joke, almost every day actually on the show, that the scientists could have just asked me, because sometimes the answers are obvious,
Well, that's what the scientists said too. So the scientists said that the reason that the LLMs can deduce is because that knowledge is sort of already in the world. So all I'm doing is looking at the world as I know it and saying, well, the world I live in, I can tell you what's going to happen with that experiment. And then it does. But that's exactly what the AI is doing.
The AI is just looking at the world and saying, well, based on everything we know about the world, I can tell you how that test is going to go. For example, there was a separate study that showed that if you exercise, at least this is true in rats, but they think it might be true in people.
If you exercise, there's some kind of chemical that gets released in your muscles that's good for repairing your nerves. So nobody knew that exercise was good for your nerves. But suppose you had come to me and you said, Scott, We're going to do a study to find out if regular exercise is good for your nerves. What would I have said? Well, let me see.
Exercise is good for 100% of everything that's ever been tested for. Is it good for nerves? I'm going to say yes. And that was the answer. The answer was yes. Well, they haven't done the study, but they think it's going to be true based on rodent studies. But I'll tell you, they don't need to study it, it's true.

Chapter 3: How accurate are AI predictions in neuroscience?
We'll see what happens. Well, the prosecution of Daniel Penny is looking like a travesty, some kind of. It's just weird, as Sernovich pointed out this morning, the news is pointing out, too, that the prosecutor is calling Daniel Penny the white man. And throughout the trial, he referred to him as the white man.
Now, keep in mind, this is a trial in which 100 percent of the people involved know exactly who Daniel Penny is by name. Why would he refer to him continuously as the white man? Well, let me tell you this. We don't know how this is going to turn out yet, but I'm going to judge my opinion of America on this case.
Now, I realize America is a lot more than just this one case, but I'm going to judge America on this. Because if he goes down, America is broken, and we didn't fix it. He can't go to jail. I can't live like this. We don't have to live like this. If he gets prosecuted, we should surround the jail. I mean, we should put a million people on the streets and say, stop. Stop. This is purely racist.
Now, because the prosecutor is obviously racist... It seems like they can immediately appeal it, and maybe that would be enough. So it's possible that the normal legal process will get to the right place, even though it's a travesty so far. But honestly, I'm just going to judge America on this. If you can't get this right, America, you've got some work to do. All right.
So RF Bobby Kennedy was on some video podcast. He was talking about what the CDC doesn't tell you about the flu shot. Now remember, My current opinion of medical data is that it's all wrong. All of it. Just all wrong. Now, some of it might be coincidentally in the right direction. So maybe it's good for you to take those things.
But honestly, I don't think that medical science has a way to know what works. That's my current opinion. There's some things that are so obvious that they could get that right, right? If it's the difference between living and dying, they can tell if you died or not. So those, they probably get right.
But I've got a feeling that something like 60% of all the meds that we routinely prescribe, the data is bullshit. That's my current opinion based on everything I know, and I'll tell you more about that. But here's what RFK Jr. says. Quote, people who take the flu shot are protected against that strain of flu.
Now, you already know that the flu becomes one thing and that it rapidly changes to other things. We're talking about the regular flu, not COVID, just a regular seasonal flu. So that by the time you get the shot, you're all aware that the shot no longer applies to that flu virus, right? Now, that you already knew.
But on top of that, according to RFK Jr., and remember, I don't believe any data, any medical data. So I don't believe his. but I also don't believe the opposite of his because there's nothing credible in this field. He says that if you got the flu shot, you're 4.4 times more likely to get a non-flu infection.

Chapter 4: Are AI girlfriends a positive influence?
So I'm going to put a question mark on that one. I don't think that I can guarantee that we saw theft, but we could guarantee that we saw somebody who worked there picking up fobs and handing them to another employee. I think it's an employee. Here is something that I'm feeling a little bit alarmed about. So I've told you publicly now several times that if you're a Trump supporter,
you have a responsibility to make sure that he doesn't lawfare the other side. Because we can't have a government where Trump gets lawfared practically to death, survives, and then just turns into the monster that he was trying to defeat. That's not cool. So as soon as you see even a whiff
of anything that feels like potential lawfare, I think we have a responsibility to call it out and say, well, not in my name. Don't do this in my name. Now, here's where it gets, and I haven't seen Trump do that, by the way, but here's where it gets in the gray area. Elon Musk is definitely doing that. Now, he's not elected, and he has free speech. So it's a little gray area.
But he has said recently that on Wednesday, I guess he suggested that Lieutenant Vindman committed treason and, quote, will pay after Trump gets in power. He says Vindman's on the payroll of the Ukrainian oligarchs and committed treason against the United States. All right, here's my problem. Elon in his current role is no longer just a citizen talking about the news.
If he were just a citizen talking about the news, I'd say that's okay. These are unproven allegations, but it's within the realm of free speech. When you're as powerful as Musk is now, and I don't know that he's fully understanding his position, because it happens so fast, it takes a while to understand something's changed in your own situation.
When I see somebody who some people think is the shadow president, I don't think that, by the way. Trump is firmly in charge, for sure. But other people see him as almost a co-president at this point. And again, that's not my opinion. He's not a co-president. But he has to know that he's seen that way.
And when you're seen that way and you call out the person and the crime before any kind of legal processes started, I say this is too far. So here's my opinion. Elon Musk, too far. I'm not comfortable with this. Now, is it legal? Yes. Is it free speech? Yes. It's completely within the rules. but I'm not comfortable with it.
If you give me a name and a crime before the legal system has determined the crime is there, no, not my name. I don't want to be associated with that. Now, I'm a private citizen, and I'm not associated with the government. So I do think Vindman has some explaining to do. But I'm not aware of a specific crime. I'm not aware of one. So that's why I'm so uncomfortable.
If it were somehow some super obvious thing, then maybe. But on top of that, Elon Musk has also said about Reid Hoffman that he's concerned that Reid Hoffman has some explaining about Epstein Island. Again, if he were speaking as a private citizen, and technically he is, That's OK. I mean, it's going pretty far. You better have good lawyers, but he does. So.

Chapter 5: What are the concerns around flu shots according to RFK Jr.?
If my state, this is my state, California, if my state wants to send me a signal this strong that they're cheating, I'm not going to fucking ignore it. Okay? Now, I don't know what's true, but if you send me a signal this strong that you're cheating on the election, I'm going to believe you're cheating on the election. And I'm not going to feel bad about it if later I find out I'm wrong.
Because there's two problems here. One is, are you cheating on the election? Separate problem. Two, why the fuck are you making it look exactly like you're cheating on the election? Why the fuck are you telling everybody you're cheating on the election, even if you're not? I don't know if you are. But why are you making it look like you are? You don't have to do this.
There's no fucking reason you have to do this. I told you I wouldn't swear because it's Thanksgiving. Send the children away. Yeah, now, so I'm going to make the assumption that California's race was rigged. My reasoning is that they're sending the signal it's rigged. They're sending the signal. Don't tell me that I don't know what really happened, because I don't. I agree.
I don't know what happened. I just know that California's government is sending me the strong signal that they're cheating. So that's what I'm going to believe. I've lost all credibility in the election system in California. So great job, guys. Meanwhile, in Australia, the parliament has banned social media for children under 16. Huh. What do you think of that? First impression? Yes.
Second impression would be, well, they're going to use it anyway. They'll just get, I don't know, VPNs or lie about their age or something. Use somebody else's account. I don't know. Definitely worth trying. So high ground. Let's try it. Now, we don't need to try it necessarily.
We can wait a year and see if it worked in Australia and if there's something that we'd have to tweak to make it work here. Maybe. But I love the fact that it's being experimented with. Meanwhile, Mark Zuckerberg reportedly visited Mar-a-Lago to meet with Trump. Of course, because we're all bad people. We say stuff like, is there to kiss the ring or kiss Trump's ass and beg for forgiveness?
I don't think that's what's happening. Now, clearly, it's the right move. If you're Zuckerberg and you run a company that's that important to the conversation in America, yes, you should be on a first-name basis with the president, all the presidents. You have that kind of job. where you should step up, say, let's have a meeting right away.
So should Jamie Dimon, so should everybody who runs a social media network. So it's no big surprise, but the extra element is that Zuck seems to have maybe transitioned from a crazy lefty supporting guy to a, hey, Maybe a little common sense makes sense. And maybe a little common sense makes you look like you're a Trump supporter in 2024.
So he's never said he's a Trump supporter, and I don't think he will. I think it'd be a mistake. He should just try to keep neutral no matter what he thinks privately. But I like everything about this. And since I'm in optimist mode, I'm going to say that probably what Zuckerberg is saying to Trump This is just speculation. I can't read anybody's mind, so I don't have any special insight.

Chapter 6: Do we need to reconsider Daylight Savings Time?
So I think this is just all positive to me. Well, here's a confirmation of something that I can't remember if I said this out loud. Maybe you can tell me if I predicted this out loud, those of you who've been watching. But Marc Andreessen was on Joe Rogan's show. There are so many good clips that came out of that. If you see any of the clips of Andreessen talking to Rogan Just watch all of them.
Every one of them is a winner. Every single clip that came out of that is like, what? Really? It's really good. But anyway, Andreessen said he had the most alarming meetings he's ever been in recently, in which it became clear that our government was telling the big investors that Don't invest in small AI companies because we're not going to allow them to succeed.
There will only be a few big AI companies and they will be completely controlled by the government. And that's how it's going to be. Now, that's actually something that apparently the government is telling the top Silicon Valley investors, so there's no ambiguity about it. AI will be controlled by your government. that conversation's over. So there you go. So here's the question.
Did I not tell you a while ago that every government controls its news entities? Sometimes you just don't know it. But whether you're a Democrat government or parliamentary or a dictator... you really can't survive without completely controlling the news. So that's what we have in America. It's what we have everywhere. It's controlled news.
You have to keep your country sort of in the same direction and sort of in the same opinion or the country falls apart. And the only way to do it, apparently, is to have fake news all the time. But on top of that, I believe I speculated out loud, but this is what I want to ask. Did I speculate out loud that
the ai would have to be it would just have to be completely controlled by the government did i ever say that out loud or did i just think it really hard and thought about it so you tell me in the comments but to me it's been obvious for a long time that ai could not just be a free market product it was too dangerous and it could tell you the truth. AI has the ability to cut through the fake news.
So if you accept that the government, every government, and again, I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying it's a fact that there's no government that could survive real news. Because the real news could overwhelm the, you know, whatever they're trying to get done. So if you have to control the news, to be a successful country, it follows very easily that you have to control AI.
Because AI would look at the news and say, well, that's not true. Right? The AI would, you could just feed it an hour of MSNBC and say, all right, can you take out the fake news and tell me what's left? And it would give you like a five seconds of, oh, there's a hurricane. Everything else was fake. So of course the government has to completely control AI. Every government will do the same.
If you think that China's not going to completely control it, you're wrong. If you think there's some country in Europe where they're going to let their industry just run wild with AI, you're wrong. There will be no country that will allow AI to be free because it's way too dangerous. So Mark Andreessen confirming that that's actually already the case.
