WEBVTT - A Stupid Person Jail 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:06.160 Broadcasting live from the Abraham Lincoln Radio Studio, the George 0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:10.880 Washington Broadcast Center, Jack Armstrong, Joe Getty, arm Strong and 0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:17.240 Gatty and He Armstrong and Getty. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:27.680 Investigators say they discovered a notebook and nine millimeter handgun 0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.840 in Mangioni's backpack, key evidence his defense team is asking 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:35.120 the court to suppress. They argue police did not have 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:38.920 a search warrant and failed to read Mangioni his Miranda rights. 0:00:39.520 --> 0:00:42.680 This could make or break the prosecutions case. 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:45.279 It completes the picture of what was. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.320 Going on in Mangioni's mind. 0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:49.760 I thought that was pretty interesting when I learned that 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:55.640 yesterday the cases started with the good looking, eyebrowed scumbag 0:00:55.720 --> 0:01:01.240 murderer being charged with killing that United Healthcare worker just 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.080 murdered him in cold bud shot him in the back. 0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:04.760 Awful, awful story. 0:01:05.200 --> 0:01:07.920 But I thought it was interesting that maybe they didn't 0:01:08.280 --> 0:01:10.280 cross their t's and dot their eyes in terms of 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.400 following legal protocol getting some of the evidence. 0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.360 I don't know, you know, we'll have to see. 0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:18.160 The defense always claims that they try to get everything 0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:18.800 tossed out. 0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:24.520 Sure, the fact that the media went along with the 0:01:24.760 --> 0:01:27.199 here he is smiling in court, showing the good looking 0:01:27.400 --> 0:01:30.040 kid all dressed up nice and neat, looking like a model, 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:33.360 smiling in the courtroom. I saw that on every freaking 0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:36.600 newscast I watched, way to build him into a folk hero. 0:01:37.840 --> 0:01:39.280 Yeah, yeah, it's disgusting. 0:01:39.680 --> 0:01:45.640 I'm trying to puzzle out what's behind people's and the 0:01:45.640 --> 0:01:50.320 people who are fans and you know, contributing to his 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.440 legal defense and idolizing the guy. And because he murdered 0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:58.400 a young dad, now you might be really unhappy with 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:01.120 the state of American healthcare and health insurance. I am, 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:05.600 But to then make the leap that therefore murdering somebody's 0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.960 fine to get attention to the to the issue because 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.440 that's more or less the argument that's being made, or 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:15.280 this guy was complicit in it, therefore dot. I just 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.720 think it's that so many people live so much of 0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.799 their lives online they've forgotten what real human beings are. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.680 In a way, they see everybody as just an icon 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:30.720 or a video or a series of posts online. They've 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.440 lost their sense of their fellow humans, humanity. 0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:33.920 Yeah. 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.079 I became aware of this a long time ago, as 0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:41.520 we are minor celebrities that when people say incredibly awful 0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:44.320 things on the text line or Twitter or whatever. I 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:48.600 realize that they don't see me as an actual human being. 0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.160 I'm like a TV show or something, and you know, 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.000 just take it that way, because I know I do 0:02:55.080 --> 0:02:59.720 that with celebrities and I'm not proud of it, but I, 0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:04.040 you know, make comments about their lives, fashion choices, or 0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.680 you know, surgeries they've gotten on their faces or whatever 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.720 is if they aren't actual human beings with feelings. 0:03:09.280 --> 0:03:13.000 And needs and desires and everything like that. And so 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:13.760 I think you're right. 0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:17.160 I think this has just grown to include like practically 0:03:17.240 --> 0:03:21.840 everybody is just an actor in a play as opposed 0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:22.799 to an actual human being. 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:29.240 So you're you're like indicating directionally what you think. You 0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:32.480 if you want to make clear that you think American 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.800 health insurance and our system is screwed up, you say 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:39.120 hooray for the murder of this young man, because that 0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.560 indicates I am against the current state of things. Forgetting 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:47.040 that to encourage murder is just horrific. Where does it end? Genius? 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.600 I hadn't seen the video in a while, and when 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.880 they showed you know, portions of it yesterday and the 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.760 newscast because the trial started it. 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.880 Oh as really reminded. 0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:58.040 How horrible it is that dude just walking down the 0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.720 street and this young scumbag hit him in the back 0:04:00.760 --> 0:04:03.800 and he goes to his knees dies there in the sidewalk. 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.920 It's just horrible, horrible. 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:08.640 And then you factor in the fact that a lot 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.000 of the appeal of Luigi. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.280 Is the fact that he's handsome. What the freak is 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:14.160 wrong with you? 0:04:14.680 --> 0:04:18.560 Well, and he didn't have any any interactions with United Healthcare, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.480 so it was just like a generalized insurance is a problem, 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.280 So I'm going to find somebody in the industry and 0:04:25.360 --> 0:04:27.960 murder them. He didn't have a problems with anything. He 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:32.479 went to a super expensive grade school, middle school, high school, 0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.960 went to what ivy league college. 0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.400 He's been rich his entire life. He's one of those 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.120 type of people. 0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.200 Oh yeah, he had a lot of He had some 0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:42.560 pretty serious back issues and back pain, a lot of 0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:45.200 medical treatment, So I could believe he had a gripe 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:46.680 about our medical system. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:51.160 But again, that doesn't even enter into it. I don't know, 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.400 so I think I said this during the commercials. I 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:54.800 think I honestly believe this. 0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.440 Anybody who's out there in support of the dude because 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.480 he's so handsome, needs to be put in jail because 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:06.400 they're that stupid. They're a danger to society. A stupid jail, 0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:07.840 a stupid person jail. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.560 It could be pretty nice. It could be like the 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.360 place they got Gallayne Maxwell. It doesn't have to be hardcore. 0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:15.200 But you gotta be away from the public. If you're 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.080 supporting this guy because of his eyebrows. Yeah, you should 0:05:19.080 --> 0:05:22.279 not be in the public, a stupid denterie. If you will. 0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.599 Uh yeah, I don't know. I just deny them the vote. 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.560 That's enough for me. I'm a kind and merciful man. 0:05:27.680 --> 0:05:31.200 Just don't let them vote ever again. All right, weird. 0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:34.880 Editorial decision though by all the news people to here 0:05:34.920 --> 0:05:36.360 he is smiling in the courtroom. 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.880 Okay, what is that? What are you trying to think? 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.000 They get everybody that way. 0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.000 They get the fans and the people who understand that 0:05:44.120 --> 0:05:46.960 murder is a bad thing, which apparently we need to 0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:47.920 remind people of. 0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.240 Coming up bottom of the hour, I want to talk 0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.760 about your p doom?

Where you've got more people 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.840 not making their car payment than in many, many, many years, 0:07:21.880 --> 0:07:24.119 more people maxed out on their credit cards, people falling 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:26.760 behind on their student loans, people saying they're one months 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.360 ran away from being poor. Blah blah blah blah blah. 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:31.840 Right direction, wrong direction for their own personal economy. 0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:35.640 Horrible. Yet we had a huge Black Friday weekend. 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.600 I'm trying to figure that out and everybody else is too, 0:07:40.600 --> 0:07:42.760 But we did get this text. Black Friday sales were 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.600 up three percent total, but prices are up seven percent, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:50.640 so that means people actually bought four percent less stuff. 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:54.760 I'm not sure everybody understands basic economic I'm trying to 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:55.360 new let through. 0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:56.239 Does that make sense? 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.240 Sales were up, but things are way more expensive. So 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.440 if you bought the same amount of stuff as last year, 0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:05.240 they would be up, right, that's true? 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.360 Or if it's down less than the rate of inflation, 0:08:07.880 --> 0:08:11.360 like it would be up. Yeah, huh, that should be answer. 0:08:12.360 --> 0:08:15.280 Why is he by the way, people, inflation is not 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.880 what we all say it is. We have it backwards, 0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:23.200 and it's important. We'll explain coming up later this hour. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.440 Inflation is not what we think it is. We have 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:27.560 it backwards. 0:08:27.560 --> 0:08:27.960 Correct. 0:08:28.480 --> 0:08:32.559 We've all been wrong, dead wrong, filthy wrong, shamefully wrong. 0:08:33.160 --> 0:08:36.199 Okay, and Joel explained, yes, I will all right. 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:39.200 If you haven't seen the video of the guy trying 0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:40.840 to kick a field goal on Monday Night football, we 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.040 have it at Armstrong in getty dot com. It's hilarious 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.120 A lot on the way, stay here Strong. 0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:49.880 What part of your body was the MRI looking at. 0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:54.960 I have no idea. 0:08:56.559 --> 0:09:04.160 That's not physically possible. To have no idea, it's not possible. Lord, 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.160 would you say to the doctor, no, no, no, don't 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:08.800 tell me. I want to find out at my MRI 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:11.360 reveal party. 0:09:13.520 --> 0:09:14.520 That's the flu. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:21.760 For god's sakes, man, were you not curious at all 0:09:23.720 --> 0:09:26.440 when they laid you down in a tube for a 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.439 half an hour to forty five. 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:31.840 Minutes You didn't want to know what they might be doing? 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:34.840 Or did you just think yourself what a loud tanning bed? 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:38.000 Uh? 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:40.520 Yeah, well that struck me the same way too. When 0:09:40.520 --> 0:09:42.160 Trump said I have no idea what they did an 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:45.400 MRI on I just I can't imagine not being curious 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:46.600 and wanting to know myself. 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:52.160 Yeah, just I mean because you find medical science interesting. Well, 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:55.840 I have personal interest in my own health. So you 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:57.560 think I might have something wrong with me? You're gonna 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:58.600 do an MRI on what? 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:00.960 Yeah, I don't know. 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:04.440 Had one emailer say that, No, since the budget is unlimited, 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.199 they just did a whole body. 0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:08.040 MRI or what. I don't know if that's a thing. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:10.680 That wouldn't that take hours and hours and hours because 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.679 you got to take very specific shots of the various 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:16.240 levels of you to get those layered images. 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:17.439 I don't know what's going on. 0:10:18.880 --> 0:10:22.200 I never will. So I found this really really interesting. 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:25.280 It might seem seem like a quibble to you, but 0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.920 it's not. I think it's fundamentally really important. How many 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.400 times have we talked about how the Left perverts language, 0:10:31.800 --> 0:10:35.760 how they change the meanings of words or equivocate between 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.960 two terms like sex and gender. First they tell you, no, 0:10:40.120 --> 0:10:42.360 gender is different from sex, it's just the way you 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:46.720 express yourself. And then Mike, your child needs to change 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:49.920 his gender. Do you mean to get a sex change? No, 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.200 we've already reckoned with that. As a society. We don't 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:56.320 give sex changes to children. But now they've invented new 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:58.679 terms to try to confuse issues. They do that all 0:10:58.679 --> 0:11:02.319 the time, and it pisses me off when even conservatives 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:06.320 use terms like gender affirming care, for instance, which is 0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:12.280 obviously a term created to cloud issues. Found this super interesting. 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:19.079 This guy from the Misse Institute, Ludwig mis say, Ludwig 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:23.439 von missus, miss a missus whatever, I'm not friend, it's 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:29.959 me right, messus uh. The Mesas Institute says every major 0:11:30.040 --> 0:11:34.840 economic illusion begins with the corruption of a word. Inflation 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:40.760 once meant popularly people's perception of the word inflation, they 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:45.160 understood what it still means in truth, the artificial expansion 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:52.079 of money and credit. Inflation means one thing, the artificial 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.000 expansion of the money supply and or credit. But over 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:02.640 time it's been redefined to describe the consequences of inflation 0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:07.200 rather than its cause. Now here's where you might think 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:12.800 Joe Getty, expert wordsmith, is really slicing it thin. But 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:16.960 that's not the case. That's exactly and that's why I 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:17.480 thought there was so. 0:12:18.080 --> 0:12:19.160 Interesting about this. 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:24.000 The deliberate inversion of language serves a political purpose. It 0:12:24.160 --> 0:12:27.840 shifts blame from those who create money to those who 0:12:27.880 --> 0:12:32.040 merely spend it, transforming an act of monetary fraud into 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.319 a mere statistical phenomenon. And I think even more important 0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:40.240 their second point is, and they mentioned the result is 0:12:40.280 --> 0:12:45.679 profound because by refined, redefining inflation, governments have obscured its nature, 0:12:46.080 --> 0:12:49.679 and economists have lost its meaning, and citizens have come 0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:54.600 to accept their gradual impoverishment as an unavoidable fact of life. 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.760 And also, this is the part that I really liked. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:04.079 So since we don't since we've used inflation now to 0:13:04.080 --> 0:13:08.520 describe or rise in prices, we don't have a word 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:14.560 for an artificial inflation of the money supply anymore. If 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.280 you say inflation, people think hot dogs are more expensive. 0:13:18.280 --> 0:13:21.440 I know I do. We don't have a word for 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:23.119 what used to be inflation. 0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.000 People today use the term inflation to refer to the 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.880 phenomenon that is, the inevitable consequence of inflation, that's the 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:33.559 tendency of all prices and wages to rise. The result 0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.880 of this deplorable confusion is that there is no term 0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:38.520 left to signify the cause of this rise in prices 0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:41.360 and wages. There's no longer any word available to signify 0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:43.800 the phenomenon that has been up till now called inflation. 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:47.680 If it follows that nobody cares about inflation in the 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.480 traditional sense of the term. As you cannot talk about 0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:53.120 something that has no name, you cannot fight it. Those 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.000 who pretend to fight inflation are in fact only fighting 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.160 what is the inevitable consequence of inflation rising prices. Their 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:02.160 ventures are doing to failure because they do not attack 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:07.400 the root of the evil. That was an excellent point. 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.559 Yeah, So governments do things that will cause in what 0:14:11.600 --> 0:14:12.480 we call inflation. 0:14:15.000 --> 0:14:16.320 Nobody discusses that. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:21.040 When the inflation occurs, what we call inflation occurs, then we. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.080 Have discussions about that. 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.040 They do things. What things? What things are you talking about? 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.400 I need to be introduced to this concept because we've 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:29.440 changed the meaning of the word. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:30.480 And they go on. 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:31.320 Uh. 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.640 In case you're thinking, well, prices go up a little bit. 0:14:34.040 --> 0:14:37.160 You know, it's fine, I'm used to it. For every expansion, 0:14:37.360 --> 0:14:38.600 I like your sanguine tone. 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:41.160 That's really good. Yeah, it's it's why I'm not really involved. 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.600 I don't know much about Yeah. 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.880 Yeah, let's see, for every expansion in the money supply, 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.480 it constitutes a form of legalized counterfeiting that robs all 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:57.360 holders of money, redistributing wealth from savers and producers hello 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:03.560 to those nearest the new money's point of entry. Prices 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.280 adjusted evenly because new money does not enter all pockets 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:10.000 at once. It flows first to borrowers, banks, and state 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:14.960 contractors before dispersing through the broader economy. Or I would 0:15:15.080 --> 0:15:18.720 argue it flows into the pockets of those who politicians 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.920 wish to bribe to get their votes. 0:15:21.160 --> 0:15:23.040 This is true. You know, I hadn't thought about it. 0:15:23.080 --> 0:15:25.440 If you, if you actually start. 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:28.920 Thinking about your net worth and how it's changed over 0:15:28.960 --> 0:15:32.840 the inflation years, starting in like twenty twenty, it's depressing. 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:35.000 It's depressing. 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:38.320 But so you know your your chunk of money that 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:40.840 you've been hanging on to is worth God, what is 0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:43.800 it worth? Ten fifteen percent less than it was not 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.760 very long ago. But people who are getting money, they've 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:52.680 adjusted those amounts for inflation, right, right, they have adjusted 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:53.920 my savings for inflation. 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.480 So you know, you go back to the absolutely obscene 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:05.240 an American eachable treason trial with hangings Quality Inflation Reduction Act, 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:11.640 Remember that one that was inflation. Yeah, it vastly inflated 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:14.640 the money supply they borrowed vast amounts of money and 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.960 pumped them into the economy that was inflation. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:19.280 It didn't cause inflation. 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:21.200 You know, I'll be frustrating the rest of my life 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:23.600 because everybody else in the world, folks will continue to 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:26.160 use the convention or the current meaning of the term 0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.760 death with your first well, right, exactly because of my anger. 0:16:30.280 --> 0:16:32.920 But they mentioned the Austrian school of economics and the 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.160 understanding new money changes prices, which we beget other changes 0:16:37.400 --> 0:16:41.080 from injection points. Inflation benefits those who receive new money 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:45.440 first and penalizes those normal people who receive it last. 0:16:46.040 --> 0:16:47.360 You know what I was talking about earlier. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.760 I'll be interested to see how this whole spending season 0:16:50.000 --> 0:16:54.200 shakes out if we end up actually spending more than 0:16:54.280 --> 0:17:01.480 last year through the holidays while being behind on car payment, 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:05.960 student loans. Being the scaredest we've ever most scared we've 0:17:06.000 --> 0:17:07.840 ever been around healthcare costs. 0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:09.920 What does that mean about our society? 0:17:11.840 --> 0:17:14.520 We have re complete inability to say no to ourselves 0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:15.600 personally or politically. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:21.760 We are really short term thinkers. Yeah, doomed, are you 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:24.639 gonna do? What's P doom? 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:28.040 P doom is actually a term they use in the 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:30.280 AI world what's your p doom? 0:17:30.520 --> 0:17:31.880 Various people ask each other. 0:17:32.000 --> 0:17:36.560 That's the percentage you believe the likelihood of complete doom 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.639 because of AI, that it's going to destroy mankind. And 0:17:39.680 --> 0:17:42.160 I can tell you what various people's p dooms are 0:17:42.880 --> 0:17:45.600 and why they have them, and why I am so 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:48.719 much more pessimistic today than I was twenty four hours 0:17:48.800 --> 0:17:50.119 ago about AI. 0:17:50.880 --> 0:17:53.960 I certainly hope the p doom is generally one to 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:57.120 two percent, right, I. 0:17:57.040 --> 0:17:59.680 Am much more pessimistic having taken in a bunch of 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:02.280 in from yesterday about ever getting our In fact, I've 0:18:02.280 --> 0:18:02.719 given up. 0:18:02.960 --> 0:18:04.879 I have given up no longer. I'm going to be 0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:05.919 concerned about it. 0:18:05.920 --> 0:18:08.840 It's kind of liberating, really giving a certain way in 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:11.400 a certain way, Yes on the way, So stay here, 0:18:14.320 --> 0:18:15.479 armstrong and getty. 0:18:16.960 --> 0:18:20.080 This man dangling from a tree. A female lion is 0:18:20.200 --> 0:18:24.199 just feet below. As the man slides down, the lioness 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.720 begins to claw, and when the man is close enough, 0:18:26.840 --> 0:18:29.560 the animal pounces, dragging him to the ground. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:30.800 In less than a. 0:18:30.760 --> 0:18:33.240 Minute, the struggle appears to be over. The zeus is 0:18:33.280 --> 0:18:38.320 the man was killed. The lioness, who's named Leona. Speaking Portuguese, 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.720 this woman, identified as the Zous biologist says the lioness 0:18:41.760 --> 0:18:44.399 simply displayed natural behavior for her species. 0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.040 She adds, at no point to the idea. 0:18:46.760 --> 0:18:49.040 Of putting the animal down cross our minds. 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.000 Oh wow, you never hear that, And I've always wondered that, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.320 why do you put down an animal who, in given 0:18:55.359 --> 0:18:58.959 the opportunity, eat somebody. That's what they're supposed to do. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:01.560 Like Chris Rock once said that Tiger didn't go crazy, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:05.000 it went tiger right. Well, given the opportunity, the guy 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.760 climbed into the enclosure. 0:19:08.080 --> 0:19:11.200 Where was that cage? Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Yeah, 0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.880 that was in That was in Brazil. Wow. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:20.000 So if you're at the zoo, I have ad If 0:19:20.000 --> 0:19:22.280 I'm with my little kids, the answer is obviously different. 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.239 But if I'm by myself as a grown man and 0:19:24.280 --> 0:19:27.320 I see some job about the climb into the lion cage. 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:32.440 Am I thinking cool? Or am I horrified? I think 0:19:32.440 --> 0:19:38.520 he'd be horrified and amazed and have just some percentage, 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:43.800 some percentage he would be like, oh my god. Yeah, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.359 I mean, so, once he's in there and the lion 0:19:46.520 --> 0:19:50.280 is approaching him, do you watch or once the lion 0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:53.480 starts chewing on him, do you watch? 0:19:53.560 --> 0:19:54.359 Or do you look away? 0:19:56.280 --> 0:19:59.840 You know, person be probably horrified, person's probably mentally ill. 0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:04.000 But because I'm sick, I watched the video and the 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:06.879 guy is shimmying down the tree. He doesn't even hit 0:20:06.880 --> 0:20:09.600 the ground before the lion starts going at him, and 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:12.400 then she takes him into like a bush like she's 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.240 hiding with a snack, so nobody could really see anything. 0:20:16.080 --> 0:20:16.240 Ah. 0:20:16.720 --> 0:20:20.920 Yeah, and lions, it's not like the it's a Texas 0:20:21.000 --> 0:20:24.960 chainsaw thing. It just gets around the neck and clamp 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:26.399 down and suffocate you. 0:20:26.800 --> 0:20:30.920 Yeah, and then they sprayed it with a fire extinguisher 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:32.280 to get it away from the guy, but it was 0:20:32.280 --> 0:20:32.720 too late. 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:37.040 Well, they shouldn't have climbed into the line cage, just 0:20:37.040 --> 0:20:39.240 as general rule of thumb, don't do that. 0:20:40.520 --> 0:20:42.280 So if you listen to this show, you know, I'm 0:20:42.359 --> 0:20:44.919 endlessly fascinated with AI, and I think I always will be. 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:47.960 It's maybe the most interesting thing that's ever happened on 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:51.320 planet Earth, and it's going to become more evident that 0:20:51.320 --> 0:20:52.000 that is the case. 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:53.880 Is days, months and years go by. 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.920 I was briefly over the weekend thinking I might become 0:20:57.960 --> 0:21:01.920 an activist to try to slow down AI. But I 0:21:02.000 --> 0:21:05.240 took in more information yesterday that made me think that's 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:07.359 a waste of time. So while I will continue to 0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.720 be endlessly fascinated by AI, am no longer going to 0:21:09.720 --> 0:21:10.280 be an activist. 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.560 Here's one of the reasons which I thought I found 0:21:12.880 --> 0:21:16.400 this is not surprising. You still got human beings involved. 0:21:18.520 --> 0:21:21.400 So I've been taking I read a lot, I watch 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:22.320 a lot of videos. 0:21:22.440 --> 0:21:24.959 I've been watching these doom debates. I'm doom pilled, as 0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:26.960 they called it, because I am definitely believe that this 0:21:27.080 --> 0:21:28.400 is going to be a bad thing, not a good 0:21:28.400 --> 0:21:30.439 thing when AI get smarter. 0:21:32.000 --> 0:21:32.840
