Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody's ever understood with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank of chalice or stine, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Oh, that's so good. Well, we got lots of stories, and they're almost all either funny or good news. It's almost Thanksgiving. You don't want any bad news, do you? You want funny stuff and good news.
All right, well, here's some good science news, popular mechanics. Once again, there's another technology breakthrough in a power-dense battery that will give you 186-mile charge in five minutes and change how we drive forever. So that's coming. It's a Taiwan-based EV company, Prologium. It's the world's first solid-state battery with silicon composite anodes. Well, I was waiting for that.
Chapter 2: What are the latest breakthroughs in battery technology?
Now, the reason I tell you about all these battery technologies is not so you can follow one company that made a better battery, but rather you can see the frantic pace of development. The world of battery improvement is just crazy now. Here's another one from New Atlas. Another fast-charging lithium-sulfur battery. So that's cool.
Until now, they've suffered from slow charging and discharging, but now they've figured out how to make it do all that faster. So there's probably, how many times have I read you a story about a new battery development? Maybe 15, 15 or 20? And I don't know if any one of those will take off and be the next big thing, but if any one of them works, just any one of them, it's going to be huge.
And not only that, but I keep telling you about turning CO2 into other products. I'm not so sure that we need to, So the separate question is, does climate change require us to figure out how to suck CO2 out of the air and turn it into useful products? I don't know. But it seems to me that every time we can suck something out of the air and sell it, we're going to do it.
So I think whether or not climate change makes any difference in terms of carbon capture, if we can economically suck things out of the air, like carbon, and turn it into fuels, we're going to do it. So here's another one. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They've got some improved catalysts that turns greenhouse gases into cleaner fuels and feedstocks.
So you can clean it and turn it into all kinds of stuff. So that's coming. You don't need to know the details because they're not important. Just know that there are probably 20 places that they're turning CO2 into products. and probably at least 20 places they're turning batteries, making all new batteries that are better and faster and lighter and faster charging.
They don't blow up and all that stuff. Big deals. Not only that, but according to The Sun, the robotic company called Figure, Figure Robotics, the founder is Brett Adcock. So the guy who's making humanoid-looking robots that have no genitalia, his name is Adcock. I'm not making that up. Look at his damn robots. They're robots with no genitalia and no pants. I'm not making that up.
His name is literally Adcock. Do you think at any time you ever looked at his robot and said, there's something missing? Something... I can't put my finger on it. What is wrong with these robots? They look humanoid, but I feel like I need to add something. Let me look at my license. Oh, I got it. I got it. We need to add a cock.
But that's not why I bring it up, even though that would be perfectly sufficient reason. I bring it up because, remember I always complained about the slow robots? It's like it doesn't matter if you can train a robot to fold a shirt if it does it like Joe Biden.
If you give me three more hours, I will pick up a shirt.

Chapter 3: How does pleasure relate to weight control?
Is the ocean storing the water just as heat, or is it also storing it as oscillating water molecules? Well, I thought heat was oscillating molecules, but according to this, there's more to it. And here's what I say about that. How many times are we going to find out that there's a major variable that's missing in the climate models, and then we add it in
and then they have to adjust the model again to make sure that it says what it used to say. Would that make you suspicious? That all the assumptions going into the very complex models keep changing, and yet the models keep saying the same thing. Hold on, the inputs change, but then the output stays the same. Hmm, I don't know what to think about that.
It's almost like there's something sketchy going on. I don't know what it could be. Well, Mark Andreessen appeared on the Joe Rogan show and made quite a bit of news. Turns out he's one of the most interesting people in the world, which I knew. because I've been following it for a long time. But the rest of the world just found out, I think.
So here are some of the things that Marc Andreessen's saying, just for your general entertainment on Joe Rogan. He said, quote, newspapers... And by the way, a lot of this is from... From... I'll tell you in a second. But anyway, he said, quote, newspapers have been scandal sheets forever. He said the first newspaper was a scandal sheet about the Vatican.
It was all about scandals with the Pope and the bishops, etc. And here's the part I didn't know. Jefferson and Adams both owned newspapers and would use it to smear each other. Ben Franklin had 15 different sock puppet anonymous accounts and have them argue with each other in his newspaper. We've been in a world of disinformation warfare for a very long time.
How many of you knew that during the time of the founders, the newspapers were just completely fake? Now, I knew that, but I didn't know that Jefferson, Adams, and Franklin all owned their own newspaper. Let me see if I can put this together. So three of the most famous founders, the ones that we revere today, despite what flaws they might have had, we revere them as gods.
Not gods, but you know what I mean. And so their reputations are excellent because the media of the day said that they were awesome, excellent people, except, wait a minute, they were the media of the day. So according to the people who own the newspapers, they're pretty awesome.
Is it possible that the founders were a bunch of bastards and the only reason that we revere them is because they all owned newspapers and we didn't know until Marc Andreessen told us. We didn't know that all of our history was fake news written by the people who were in the news who also owned the newspapers.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, if you believe that Walter Cronkite was telling you the real news, but we've lost what we had. You think so? Do you think there was a long period where news went from completely fake? to, well, we're trying as hard as we can to get this story right. There's no tricks here. And then went to our current situation of complete propaganda and brainwashing.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the Great Barrington Declaration?
Do you think they were debanked because they supported Harris and Biden? Probably not. I'd certainly like to know a little bit more about why they got debanked, wouldn't you? Because that sounds pretty suspicious. And then my favorite is that Andreessen says, now, it's hard to know if he means this literally or or as a recreational belief.
I tell you that some things are just fun to believe, but I don't take them too seriously. So Mark says, there have been two major timeline splits in the last nine months, suggesting that reality could have gone two different ways, and maybe did. He said one was the assassination attempt on Trump. Yup. One inch and history would have been really different.
So Mark thinks that maybe history split into two timelines and that unavailable to us is that other timeline that really went poorly. But on top of that, he thinks the election itself might have been a timeline split. Boy, did it feel like it, didn't it? I feel like I woke up in a different reality after the election. Did anybody have that feeling? Like, actually, that reality had changed.
Because there was this whole fake reality, like this theatrical support of Harrison Biden, that seemed like theater. And none of it seemed real. And they would say things about how awesome she was, and I'd say, I'm not seeing it. And then she would look drunk, and I'd say, hey, there she is looking drunk again. And people would say, eh. Like, I wasn't even saying it. Like, it wasn't real.
And then suddenly you wake up and all the Democrats are saying, oh, I guess we got basically everything wrong. And then suddenly my world made perfect sense. I mean, I guess it made sense before. If you were really paying attention, it made sense. But for the people who weren't paying attention, it started to make sense.
Wait, are you saying that half of the world was just completely hypnotized and or lying to itself? Yes. Yes, that's exactly what was happening. Half of the world was hypnotized and brainwashed and or lying to itself. That's exactly what was happening. And when you wake up with that realization that now everybody knows it, it's a different reality.
I mean, things couldn't be more different than they were a few weeks ago. That's what it feels like to me. So does that mean that we're in a simulation and that the Timeline is split. I don't know. But I do know this. Marc Andreessen is on a very short list of people who are going to get a package with a plaid blanket in it. Someday. Maybe. Because there can only be one.
Those of you who understood that reference are having a good laugh. Those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about are confused. But someday you won't be. Someday you'll know what that meant. All right. So as you know, Trump talked to the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum, and I will never get tired of saying the president of Mexico, Claudia Scheinbaum. I just love that.
So Claudia Scheinbaum is one of these people who reminds us that there's nothing stopping women from having any leadership office. Right? There really isn't. It just has to be the right person. And then we vote for them. And that's all it is. That's the whole story. So she ran. People liked her. They voted for her.

Chapter 5: How does media manipulation affect public perception?
So watching him not try to hide the fact that there's something in the Trump world that's working out well, while the CNN host is always nervously standing there saying, God, I wish he'd stopped saying good things about Trump. I just imagine that. I don't know if they're really thinking it.
Anyway, he says that DEI is sinking in popularity really quickly, and the public interest is collapsing, down 15 points since 2021, but Among Republicans, support for DEI has plummeted from 50% to 22%. And even Democrats are less supportive of DEI with a dip from 86 to 79. Harry? A little message to Harry Enten. I love your work. You're great on TV. But I'm going to put down a hypothesis.
When you say that public interest, meaning, I guess, favorability, in DEI is down with Republicans from 50% to 22%, do you think that's because they changed their minds? Harry? Harry? Do you think that that change is because the Republicans changed their minds? Is that why it's down? No! No! It's because they can say it now. They can say it out loud. That's why it's down.
There was no fucking 50% support for DEI among Republicans. Are you crazy? You don't know a single Republican who is in favor of DEI, do you? Do you? I'm asking you right now watching. Do any of you know even one even one anywhere Republican who is pro-DEI. No, you don't. You don't even know one.
So as great as Harry Enten is, and I think he is genuinely interested in getting the real answer, you know, not the fake answer, I think you have to take into consideration that people just felt comfortable saying it. And there is no 22% among Republicans support for DEI. That's not true. It's zero and always has been. You're not a Republican if you're in favor of it. You couldn't be.
So basically you should say there are 22% fake Republicans. That would be closer to the truth. I don't know if DEI is that popular still with Democrats, but I would believe it. Seems believable, right? So one of the tips for spotting bullshit that I often give you is when your direct observations don't match what the science or the poll is telling you, that should mean something.
So when the polls were saying it looks like Harris is going to have a good day, but all of my lived experience was the opposite, I said to myself, huh, seems like the scientific part, the polling, is not matching my direct observation. Now, in this case, I went with my direct observation. Turned out that was the right move. Yeah.
So anyway, direct observation is probably really going to tell you a lot. All right. Mike Benz is telling us that maybe that fight that Brazil was having with Elon Musk over Starlink may have been not what we thought it was. It looked like they were mad at Elon Musk because of censorship and the X platform, but they were going to take it down on his Starlink just because they could.
Well, now we find out that there was a Chinese competitor to Starlink that was trying to get into Brazil at the same time. So was that all about making sure the Chinese competitor got in there? Is Brazil operating under bribes? Did China bribe the Brazilian government to keep Starlink out? I'm going to say probably. I don't have any direct evidence, but probably. Sounds reasonable to me.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the migrant caravan situation?
If they would do this publicly, like it's all disclosed, if they would do this to 140 countries, do you think none of this is happening in the United States? And it would be done the same way. It wouldn't be the CIA saying, don't do this. There would be cutouts. There would be cutouts. There would be like a fact-checking cutout or a news-checking cutout. But same process, just like here.
Yeah, 141 countries, right? All right, I was reading an article on Tip Insights. That's a site, website, Tip Insights. It must be somebody named Tip, because there's two P's, T-I-P-P, Insights, all one word. Anyway, so they were looking at the election results from 2016, 2020, 2024, trying to figure out, was there any obvious cheating in 2020?
Well, now that we have a better idea of how many of the total votes there will be, we can see that Trump in 2024 got about 78 million votes. Harris was around 76. Now I'm rounding off to make things simple. But Biden got 81 million. Do you believe that in 2020, Biden got 81 million, but Harris only got 76? Do you believe that?
Do you believe that the so-called, the districts that are the bellwethers, meaning that whichever way they go, the national election is going to go? And would you believe that Trump won 19 of the 20 bellwethers and somehow lost the election? Which is basically impossible. Now you're going to say to me, Scott, Scott, Scott, Scott, don't fall for that.
those bellwethers are not the same as they used to be because of the changing demographics. So yes, maybe these 20 bellwethers did predict in the past, but now that the demographics have changed, probably they never will again. Except, guess what happened in 2024? The bellwethers predicted exactly what would happen again. So the bellwethers worked every year except 2020. Huh.
And the most votes we've ever seen for Democrats were for a guy who couldn't walk or talk and we never saw him. And then when Kamala Harris ran, who is not only black vagina Jesus, but was backed by all the same numbers, people, etc., And by then, they'd maligned Trump into being an insurrectionist with 34 felonies. So they law-affired Trump out of, like, crazy.
So he's law-affired with all this legal stuff, then the insurrection stuff on top of it, just nonstop fake news, fake racism news, fake sexism news, just absolutely the worst. And after all of that, she's still got fewer votes than he did by a lot. and Biden would have killed him just by staying in the basement? None of this is believable. It's not.
And then apparently the polling consistently underperforms for Trump, but not for Harris or Biden. So the polling seems to be consistently accurate for everybody except Trump, who always exceeds the polling. Hmm. that would suggest that there might be some secret Trump supporters, or that the polling is intentionally rigged, or that the pollsters don't know how to capture that base.
Or all of those things. So, let's see. We've got an unusual number of votes that can't be explained in 2020. We've got 19 out of 20 bellwethers that flipped the wrong direction. And then, Everything in the news should have buried Trump by that point, but worked the opposite. He did better than he'd done.

Chapter 8: What can we learn from Marc Andreessen's insights?
Anyway, he says that DEI is sinking in popularity really quickly, and the public interest is collapsing, down 15 points since 2021, but Among Republicans, support for DEI has plummeted from 50% to 22%. And even Democrats are less supportive of DEI with a dip from 86 to 79. Harry? A little message to Harry Enten. I love your work. You're great on TV. But I'm going to put down a hypothesis.
When you say that public interest, meaning, I guess, favorability, in DEI is down with Republicans from 50% to 22%, do you think that's because they changed their minds? Harry? Harry? Do you think that that change is because the Republicans changed their minds? Is that why it's down? No! No! It's because they can say it now. They can say it out loud. That's why it's down.
There was no fucking 50% support for DEI among Republicans. Are you crazy? You don't know a single Republican who is in favor of DEI, do you? Do you? I'm asking you right now watching. Do any of you know even one even one anywhere Republican who is pro-DEI. No, you don't. You don't even know one.

Is Brazil operating under bribes? Did China bribe the Brazilian government to keep Starlink out? I'm going to say probably. I don't have any direct evidence, but probably. Sounds reasonable to me.
I mean, if you had to bet on it, you'd probably bet on it. Elon Musk agreed with this thought, also from Marc Andreessen on Joe Rogan's show. So Andreessen was saying the future wars are all going to be about drones and hypersonic missiles, and that fighter jets piloted by humans would all be destroyed in the first minutes of a war, at least between the most capable countries. Here's why.
