Chapter 1: What insights does Scott Adams share about Jimmy Carter's legacy?

1865.726 - 1895.479 Scott Adams

So everybody agrees, works in the lab, works in animals, doesn't have too many side effects, and there's really strong signals from a whole variety of different researchers. And it's been studied, not in isolated studies, but here's the claim. The claim is that in people, it works primarily when it's in conjunction with other treatment.

0

1896.239 - 1919.252 Scott Adams

So in other words, if you're giving one of the pills that treat you for a certain kind of cancer, because different cancers have different treatments. So if you're doing the chemo or you're taking a pill, because that's a normal thing you would do for these cancers, then you also take the ivermectin and or fenbendazole, the claim is that the other thing you're doing is more effective.

0

1920.053 - 1945.143 Scott Adams

So the claim, again, this is not my claim. I'm not saying it's true or false. I don't know. But the claim is that there are enough individual anecdotal cases where somebody would do the normal treatment, but then they add in these drugs, and then reportedly they would get a better result if they added in these treatments. Now, what do you make of this situation so far?

0

1946.103 - 1975.606 Scott Adams

If the only thing I told you is that it seems to work on animals by itself, not in conjunction with other treatments, but as soon as they treated it on people, the signal that they could find most clearly is when they combined it with another treatment. Now, the, quote, other treatments exist because they work, right? The reason chemo exists is because it works.

0

1976.386 - 1994.074 Scott Adams

Not 100%, not in every person in every way. So would you agree with the following statement? That if you were just looking at one person having chemo, you could not really predict how it's going to go. They could have a real good result all the way to complete remission, depending on the cancer.

1994.634 - 2021.237 Scott Adams

They could also have not such good luck, like the cancer is more aggressive and it doesn't do enough to help. So if you're combining the thing that works for sure by itself in an animal, but we know that there's kind of a small chance it's going to work in humans. And then when you test it with humans, the signal seems strong when they're doing the other thing at the same time.

2022.497 - 2026.999 Scott Adams

But they haven't done the gold standard controlled trial yet.

2028.627 - 2056.424 Scott Adams

they just say it looks like it gives you a little extra when combined with the other thing here's my question if the other thing is combined with can be all over the map in terms of how effective it is by itself and then you add this one new thing and let's say hypothetically it did nothing at all wouldn't you produce a whole bunch of people who seem to have a better better than average outcome because some people always have better than average outcomes

2057.543 - 2081.896 Scott Adams

And then you say, yes, I gave this person chemo and I also gave them the pill and they did much better than the average person. Would that tell you anything? I would say no. I would say no. That doesn't tell you anything with certainty because people would have great variability on the other thing they're on. So how do you know it isn't just an ordinary variability?

Chapter 2: Why did Scott Adams stop voting for decades?

5804.207 - 5829.673 Scott Adams

So when people say to me, Scott, why do you think that climate change could be corrupt and maybe lying to you just for money? Why do you think that? And the answer is, I don't have to research it. You don't have to research that. You just say, how big is it? And they'd say, well, it could be a trillion dollars if we did everything we wanted to do. And I would say, how many people are involved?

0

5830.773 - 5856.322 Scott Adams

Oh, hundreds of thousands of people. So hundreds of thousands of people, and we're basing on models that we can't really validate, and money is disappearing. Yeah, that's corrupt. Now, I don't know whether the climate is changing in a dangerous way or not. I don't think so. But I don't know because I'm not a scientist.

0

5856.782 - 5884.234 Scott Adams

But I know for sure just the size of the climate, you know, scientific and business part where they're spending money, the size of it guarantees that it's corrupt. And if you can find me an example of anything that's reached that size that's not totally corrupt... I'd love to hear it. Now, I do think there might be some exceptions. with some religious organizations.

0

5884.634 - 5907.58 Scott Adams

And I know, I know you're going to say, but the Catholic Church had too many sex crimes. That's probably true. But if you're talking about corruption specifically, you know, stealing, the bad stuff, well, the other stuff's bad too. But if you're talking about stealing, you might find that religious organizations can get big without that. There might be, there might be.

0

5908.121 - 5940.625 Scott Adams

So I'm willing to believe that There are major religious organizations that are generally okay, but those would be special cases. I think anything that's sort of government or business or even activism, which crosses all that, those are all corrupt when they reach a certain level. How about one person who says, hey, I think that looked racist to me. Could they be honest and not corrupt? Yes, yes.

5941.331 - 5967.87 Scott Adams

How about several people get together and say, you know, that looked wrong. That looked racist to me. Could they be honest and not corrupt? Could be. Could be. How about if it becomes a national funded organization called Black Lives Matter? And there are millions and millions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of people involved directly or indirectly. Could that ever not be corrupt? No. No.

5968.15 - 5993.253 Scott Adams

It's the scale. As soon as you reach a certain scale, it's all corrupt. Everything, all the time. It has nothing to do with black race. Nothing. It's just the size. How about Antifa? If Antifa was that one time 100 people got together because they cared about something, could it be that they would be completely honest and ethical? Could be. Could be. Small size.

5993.893 - 6027.841 Scott Adams

Once it becomes a nationwide movement... No, then it's completely corrupt every time. How about ChatGPT, OpenAI? It's just one company, but the potential and current value are in the hundreds of billions, right? And maybe the future value is in the trillions. And we hear from Marc Andreessen that the CIA has already said, oh, no, we're going to totally rig this entire industry. It's corrupt.

6028.762 - 6056.004 Scott Adams

It might be corrupt in a way that's good for us, meaning that the CIA is ultimately working on the side of America, I hope, although it's a very large organization, if you know what I mean. Yeah, that's not true. They're not working necessarily on our side because the CIA allegedly is behind the domestic censorship and some other stuff. So I guess you would throw them in the corrupt area.
