Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

1.01 - 43.289 Scott Adams

Good morning. Oh, my voice is terrible this morning. But maybe it'll get better. Well, come on in and grab a seat. As soon as there are 1,000 of you beautiful people, we're going to do this simultaneously. You wouldn't miss it. All right? Just about there. 1,000. All right, let's do this, people. Kick it off. I know why you're here. You're here for the summit that you said.

All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or Chelsea's sign. A canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day. The thing that makes everything better is called the 737. It happens now. So good, so good.

Well, I was watching the trigonometry podcast, and they have a guest song called, Her name was Helen Andrews. And Helen Andrews was explaining that she's got a thesis that wokeness is really just a feminine pattern of behavior. And that women like consensus, relationships, making everybody happy. And that she notices that

0

114.697 - 148.371 Scott Adams

that whenever the number of women gets to a critical point in an organization, it flips to be woke. She talks about law schools tipping majority female in 2016, the New York Times staff 55% female by 2018, and now managers are even 46% women. So the question is, is that a coincidence? or a cause. Well, here's what I think.

0

149.172 - 184.782 Scott Adams

I think women make it possible and introduce wokeness, but I think men also use it as a weapon. For example, I've often told you my stories of my corporate life where I wasn't allowed to be promoted because I was white and male. Do you think that women did that to me? No. The men weaponized the whole DEI thing and said, oh, I'm working as hard as I can to get more DEI. So I'm the good guy.

185.442 - 217.775 Scott Adams

But they weaponized it against people like me. So if you're a white male and you're at the bottom of the totem pole, it was easy for the seizure executives, who were also white male, to say, there's nothing wrong with me. Look at all these women I'm hiring. Look at all these LGBTQ I'm hiring. So women create wokeness, and then men weaponize it.

217.795 - 249.117 Scott Adams

If you look at the Democratic Party, you'll see that it became super woke. At the same time, it became essentially a woman's party. And then you notice that the people who weaponized it would be people like Biden and Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer and all that. Just in case you wondered. Well, the Venezuelan narrative, as I'll call it, seems to be solidifying.

250.178 - 280.358 Scott Adams

Do you remember the first day or two of the Venezuelan event, I'll call it? People said, oh, it's about drugs. It's not about drugs. It's about oil. It's not about oil. It's about China. It's not about China. It's about Iran. It's not about Iran. And there was a lot of disagreement about what was really happening. But I would say by now, the narrative has solidified.

281.639 - 308.695 Scott Adams

And there's almost nobody who believes it was only about drugs. Am I right? Pretty much nobody. says, oh, it was only about the drugs. How about the people who say it was only about the oil? Well, nobody says it's only about capturing the oil, but they have a bigger narrative that is about suppressing China.

Chapter 2: What insights does the speaker provide about weaponized DEI?

519.383 - 532.221 Scott Adams

We will have more updates as we see what's technically and practically possible. Because a big part of it is how do I protect my IP, intellectual property,

0

532.657 - 565.898 Scott Adams

uh at the same time let people have fun with it and put it in one place so that you know people know how to find it etc so it'll have to be protected but i want to make it as widely available as possible speaking of me uh yesterday i guess it was uh trump put a statement on the white house um I guess it was the website. It was about the January 6th event.

0

567.059 - 603.063 Scott Adams

And some people pointed out that the language that Trump used to describe it seems like it might have come from me. Now, not directly. So I'm not consulting for the White House or anything like that. But there are some things I say a lot. And let me see if you can identify things that you heard me say. I talked about the scripted TV spectacle that they used to reverse the reality.

0

603.824 - 624.668 Scott Adams

Now, lots of people talked about the scripted TV production of it. But what I added was, well, let me just read Trump's words. He said, the Democrats masterfully reversed reality. Do you remember how I kept saying that they reversed reality?

0

625.99 - 656.494 Scott Adams

They masterfully reversed reality after January 6th, branding peaceful patriotic protesters, that's a lot of Ps, peaceful patriotic protesters as insurrectionists and framing the event Now, have you noticed that the word framing has become much more popular since I started following politics? So framing and reframing, you always have to wonder, did that come from him?

658.175 - 687.126 Scott Adams

So framing the event as a violent coup attempt orchestrated by Trump, despite no evidence of armed rebellion or, here's the part that counts, intent to overthrow the government. Remember, I made a big deal about the fact that the entire January 6th committee and all the hearings, and nobody in the news or in the hearings ever asked them, what was your intention? But Trump's on it.

688.027 - 707.5 Scott Adams

He's noting that they never identified any intention. There's nobody who said they were trying to overthrow the government. And if you ask them what they were doing, They would have said they were trying to save the government and they would mean it because they believed it was an obviously rigged election.

709.403 - 748.829 Scott Adams

And then Trump says, in truth, it was the Democrats who staged the real insurrection by certifying a fraud-ridden election, ignoring widespread irregularities and weaponizing federal agencies to hunt down dissenters. Does that sound like me? Yeah, I introduced the word haunting about Republicans, and despite no evidence of intention, and the Democrats essentially reversed reality.

749.59 - 780.013 Scott Adams

Now, here's where he sums it up. Trump does on the web page. He said this gaslighting narrative allowed them to persecute innocent Americans, silence opposition, and distract them from their own role in undermining democracy. So here are the concepts which I probably introduced to the thought process. It was a reversed reality.

Chapter 3: How do women influence wokeness in organizations?

880.369 - 918.945 Scott Adams

forces actually took it. So they boarded it and they took it before Russia could get any serious, you know, Navy presence there. But obviously, we had to hurry because we didn't want to do it when there was a Russian submarine, you know, 10 feet away. So, another success for the US military. And my question is, what will Russia do now?

0

919.972 - 947.683 Scott Adams

since we already boarded it, are they going to pull up the submarine that they have and say, oh, you've got to give it back? Or will they say, oh, don't do that again. We got here a little late, but next time we might not be late. We have to watch that one. I do think that the issue is not nearly big enough for Putin to say, all right, it's war now.

0

948.727 - 979.896 Scott Adams

I think the only thing that's going to make sense is for Russia to say some tough words and then back off. That's what I think. Well, here's some new science. that if you persuade people, and they did random tests, if you persuade people to be more afraid of climate change, you could actually change their minds.

0

980.857 - 1005.898 Scott Adams

In other words, if you tried to scare them that climate change is a big risk, you could move the needle, and people can be persuaded. But what they did not find is that by moving the needle and making it look extra dangerous that there's a climate crisis, that those same people did not open their wallets and donate more to change it.

0

1007.079 - 1029.082 Scott Adams

Now, how strong is your belief that it's an existential threat if it makes no difference to what you donate in money? Because money kind of tells a story, right? So here's my take. I think that people are kind of tribal when it comes to climate change or anything else.

1029.102 - 1060.593 Scott Adams

And so if you give them a good argument to be even more tribal than they were, in other words, to be more fearful of it, it makes them more tribal, but it doesn't make them more believing it more. So I'm not sure that they're really believing it more if they're not paying money for it. Anyway, according to the Brownstone Institute, Roger Bate is writing about this.

1061.274 - 1087.196 Scott Adams

The Washington Post did a story recently showing that childhood vaccination rates in the U.S. are falling sharply, especially for measles and blah, blah, blah. And what Roger B points out is that the Washington Post doesn't do a good job of diagnosing why it's going down, why the vaccination rate is going down.

1087.998 - 1114.956 Scott Adams

Now, wouldn't you say that the main reason it's going down is that people stopped trusting the fake news and they stopped trusting the Washington Post to tell them what's good for their health? I think that's what's happening. But the observation by Roger Bate is that the Washington Post doesn't even take a stab at their own credibility as being part of the problem.

1116.258 - 1149.233 Scott Adams

And it makes you wonder, do they really not know? Does the Washington Post literally not know that they're a big part of the problem? If you think the problem is that there are fewer vaccinations. We could obviously argue that having fewer vaccinations, a lot of people prefer that. So I wonder if distrust in the media should be a class that they teach at school. Wouldn't that be useful?

Chapter 4: What is the solidifying narrative around Venezuela's situation?

1514.892 - 1538.177 Scott Adams

They don't know that he did the fraud, but he was in charge of enough things that were fraudulent. I don't know. How do you get that stink off you? But the other possibility is that Newsom is way better at hiding his crimes It could be that Tim Walz is just incompetent at everything and he wasn't good at covering up his crimes.

0

1539.9 - 1574.577 Scott Adams

But if Newsom gets through this without any charges, you'd have to assume he's better at it. All right. Times of India is writing about how to get rid of negative thoughts. And the way that they want to approach it that works is that negative memories may lose their hold when they're gradually pushed down by positive ones, particularly during sleep. Does that sound like my shelf space theory?

0

1575.638 - 1586.048 Scott Adams

Where I tell you, you can't just make yourself think less about bad things. You have to fill up whatever mental shelf space you have with positive things

0

1586.315 - 1610.263 Scott Adams

and then the negative thoughts will sort of atrophy so that is exactly my shelf space theory so i got there by knowing hypnosis apparently there are studies that are getting there using a meticulous meticulous studies about you know your thoughts but i got there first

1613.669 - 1647.222 Scott Adams

So at the same time, according to Remix News, that the Ukraine peace talks were happening, the Ukrainians are doing massive attacks on various buildings. Now, I think Russia is doing the same. So they're going hard at each other at the same time, some kind of peace talks are happening. So that would be Wyckoff and Jared Kushner. who are leading that, who I do think are the best we have.

1649.304 - 1670.908 Scott Adams

And they've been reporting that there's serious progress. We don't know if that serious progress translates into anything that can help us very much. But here's the chakra of the same story. According to a report by Ukrainian foreign intelligence, oh, okay.

1670.928 - 1700.59 Scott Adams

Well, it's a war and we can't necessarily trust this, but according to a report by Ukrainian foreign intelligence, the rural depopulation has accelerated in Russia. So allegedly, you have to take this with a grain of salt, last year alone, 266 settlements in Russia were officially abolished, and most of them were already completely uninhabited.

1701.431 - 1730.318 Scott Adams

So the thinking is that Russia is not only producing a lot of new babies, but because of the number of people who are dying in war, mostly men, that the population is decreasing. And remember, I tell you, you can sort of predict the future by the fact that something is either growing or shrinking, because things just never stay the same.

1731.179 - 1768.865 Scott Adams

So if Russia is shrinking, and it might be, that would be a very strong indicator that things are going wrong. But at the same time, Ukraine is undoubtedly shrinking. So you've got two shrinking countries, and maybe the winner will be who shrinks the least. Well, according to the New York Times, Trump told his aides to give him an updated plan for acquiring Greenland.
