Good morning. Oh, my voice is terrible this morning. But maybe it'll get better.
Scott Adams 0:15
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 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. I think women make it possible and introduce wokeness, but I think men also use it as a weapon.
Scott Adams 2:37
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. 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. If you look at the Democratic Party, you'll see that it became super woke.
Scott Adams 3:43
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. 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. And there's almost nobody who believes it was only about drugs.
Scott Adams 4:47
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. and the Belt and Road Initiative, which would have been very correctly going through Venezuela. And it's also about the Monroe Doctrine, which plays into the whole keeping China out of our hemisphere. It seems to also be the general statement of agreement that if you deny China all of the energy it wants or needs, it's going to slow them down for any kind of bad activity they do to us. So it would weaken them militarily if they tried to buy more energy from Russia.
Scott Adams 5:55
Russia would be the pickle because Russia needs all the energy it can get. So it might be a way to uh diminish russia's intentions maybe get a deal faster than we could have otherwise but at this point doesn't seem to you like the narrative has collapsed and all the smart people know exactly what's going on would you say that's true yeah and the the deeper you dig the more good it looks for the United States. Now, I will add this, and I think all the smart people are saying the same.
