Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization discussed in this episode?
What a Saturday. Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, golden era. If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody's ever seen with their tiny shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker gels, a stein, a kenteen, a jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.
Chapter 2: What is the significance of the simultaneous sip?
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Thank you, Paul. Oh, my God. That felt so good.
You know, one of the things I don't think I've ever mentioned, but I do this low-rent kind of podcast where I put, obviously I'm not putting all of my efforts into production values and hiring a team of writers and having a makeup artist and things that other people do. Not everybody, but some do. And one of the things that happens is that in a small way,
Chapter 3: How does Scott Adams recreate Trump's audience participation?
I end up recreating what Trump does, and in a very specific way, not the entire Trump thing, but just one narrow specific thing, which is It becomes sort of an audience participation. And one of the things, if you ever see me say thank you, Paul, at the beginning of the show, is because I always had trouble knowing if the sound was working.
Because no matter how well the sound works, there's always somebody it's not working for because their own phone is in some mode or something. So I can never tell for sure if the trolls were real or not.
But one of the subscribers on Locals, I won't say his full name just in case he doesn't want me to, but created a graphic that shows that I can very quickly see that the audio and the video are working. And I think he's looking at multiple platforms at the same time. Now, I didn't ask him to do that. It's just it really needed to be done. So he had the capability. So he just did it.
And it's the sort of thing that you see in the Trump administration where somebody has a good idea and they can find somebody who can find somebody who can find somebody who knows the president. And next thing you know, the president hears the idea. And if it's a good one, he says, that's a good idea. And the world changes. It's the damnedest thing. It's only a Trump thing.
But I've sort of accidentally recreated it by having low production standards. But there are a number of other examples I won't get into in which people are just doing add-ons. They're saying, you know, this show would be a little bit better if you had this going for you. And then somebody will just do it. It's really quite amazing. So after the show today, Owen Gregorian...
uh, is going to host a spaces after party. So spaces is the audio, audio only thing on, uh, X. So you have to be the next user and it'll be after the show. And, uh, People simply wanted a little extra, and they wanted it in a different form. So somebody made it. In this case, it was Owen.

Chapter 4: What are the latest insights on electric vehicles?
So I appreciate everybody who contributes, either sending me DMs or figuring out what's wrong with the show and fixing it. And it really is special. It makes it feel completely different to me. It always feels like a team effort, even if I'm sitting here alone. Anyway, you know I'm going to talk about EVs and batteries.
Turns out, according to car scoop, Stephen Rivers, that at this point in time, an EV, an electric vehicle, will last as long as a regular combustion engine automobile. Now, that kind of snuck up on me, didn't it? Because you're thinking, why wouldn't you buy an electric car? And the first thing you say is, well, they don't last as long. Well, that's over. They last a little bit longer.
So you don't have to worry about that anymore. Now, I still think it depends which one you get. And the battery isn't exactly the same at the end as it is at the beginning. So there's some of that. So if you have some skepticism about the battery, I'm open to that. But the point is, there are things like this that just sneak up on you.
For example, if you didn't get an electric car because there weren't enough charging stations, well, that's probably not true now. So I remind you that I have some Tesla stock, so I'm not completely objective about the domain. But you're going to see EVs, they seem to have crossed all of the critical things, meaning that the public now says, there's nothing wrong with it.
Chapter 5: What accusations are being made about Silicon Valley?
It lasts as long as the other ones. There's a way to get electricity. So a lot of those things got solved just by waiting and innovating over time. Anyway, I saw a post today by somebody I don't know on X, Simp4Satoshi. That's the name of the account. But let me read the opinion. And this one hit me like a box of rocks. So the opinion is, Silicon Valley is broken into being a bottom, by the way.
So the context was somebody saying that in Silicon Valley, it's like the PDD situation, that there's a lot of gay grooming, and that's behind a lot of the startups. Now, if you had told me that before I'd ever heard of Harvey Weinstein, Weinstein, I would have said, eh, sounds unlikely.
If you told me that before I heard about P. Diddy and the entire music industry, I would have said, yeah, I don't know. That doesn't sound real to me. But when you tell me after I know those two things, and they're both sort of
male dominated at least the management of the culture you know the managers in the culture um how could it not be true what would be the argument that is not true now i can tell you that i've lived i've lived in the bay area my entire adult life i've never seen any any hint of it and i've also never heard of it until today it's literally the first time i've ever heard this accusation
So I can't confirm from any personal contacts, and I have lots of them. I mean, you can imagine how many people I know who work in the Valley. But I've never heard this before. On the other hand, so I'll put it in one basket. I've never heard it. So that argues against it being real. But on the other hand, if it seems to be real in 100% of the situations in which it could be real,
And this is one in which it could be real. I don't discount it. I can't confirm it from any personal experience. But it certainly opened my eyes to the fact that I'd never even thought about it. So the accusation is that if you're willing to get groomed, you're going to get a lot of money and you'll be introduced to people and then you get on the fast track. I'm not saying that's true.
I'm just saying... If it were true in both the hetero and the homosexual way for these other industries, why wouldn't it be true in Silicon Valley? What would stop that from being the same? I can't think of any force that would stop it from happening. Anyway, Jillian Michaels has a new fake news finding here. Apparently there's a letter

Chapter 6: What is Jillian Michaels' take on RFK Jr.?
that alleges to be signed by over 17,000 doctors denouncing RFK Jr. and his non-standard views on things. Now, if you heard that 17,000 doctors were against this one guy who wasn't even a doctor, he's not even a doctor, that'd be pretty persuasive, wouldn't it? How do you get 17,000 doctors to be on the same side? I mean, that's a lot. Well, here's how they did it.
They started a website where you could just say you're a doctor and then they would count you. That's all it was. It was just a website where you could sign up. How many of those do you think are real doctors? Well, not 17,000. They might have gotten a few hundred, but most of them seem somewhat obviously fake. So, no, I don't think there are 17,000 doctors saying that.
Anyway, so good for Jillian Michaels to call that out. I love it when anybody gets involved in the fake news spotting business. The more people who don't do this for a living but are so inspired because they're the first to notice it or they know that they have a bigger platform and they just say, you know what? I got to fix this. So again, in the Trump golden age,
somebody like uh jillian michaels although she's a public figure but somebody like her doesn't say oh this is bad and then just move on with their business she says this is bad is anybody fixing it oh if nobody's fixing it i'll fix it because i can so she makes a video and she fixes it you know at least now there's a record that there's a there are two sides to the story so
When you start noticing, you can start noticing the pattern over time that people are simply noticing a need and then just saying, I can do that and just stepping into it like nobody's ever seen before. The fire victims in LA and North Carolina, same experience. The necessity just brings people in. So people are willing to pitch in now. They feel some optimism.
They feel connected a little bit to their neighbors a little more. this might be the biggest trend. Like the most important thing might be people just saying, you know, I can do this. Nobody else is doing it. I'll do it. This would be exactly the case for my next story.
So Joe Rogan has a doctor on, Dr. Mark Gordon, who said, and I quote, I have a 76-year-old veteran who was diagnosed with a Gleason 7, Roughly speaking, that's how aggressive your cancer is, the Gleason score. So seven would be high. And the Gleason is the grade of cancer of the prostate, meaning what stage. And it was Gleason seven.
Then he says he went on 12 milligrams of ivermectin every day for eight weeks. And at the 12th week, he got a special PET scan done to look at the abnormalities in the prostate. And they couldn't find anything. They couldn't find anything. And his PSA, when he came in, initially it was a 12.6. The PSA is what tells you if your prostate's got cancer, usually.
It could be for other things, but normally that's what it means if it's high. And it's now down to 5.3, which would be, I think that's below the midpoint. So it'd be perfectly acceptable for somebody who had no cancer at all. Now, Remember I said the larger theme is people just see a need and they say, oh, nobody else is doing this. I can do this. And then they step in.

Chapter 7: What are the claims surrounding Ivermectin and prostate cancer?
Being right every time about everything, not really a standard I would put anybody to. That's not the standard. Nobody's right all the time. If this is a big, big, important thing, and there's somebody who could really add to it, and Joe figures out that if this is real, he could be doing an incredibly, incredibly important service. to the rest of the country and the world, really.
Because if this is true, it would be unbelievable. Now, like Joe, and maybe even like the doctor himself, I'm noticing something that needs to be done about this story that unfortunately I'm uniquely capable of doing, which is debunking it. Now, I'm going to debunk it, but without knowing if it's true or false. So what I'm going to debunk is just the credibility of it.
Because if you went into this and said, okay, that's a real doctor, he doesn't look like he's lying, and I don't think he's lying. I do not think he's lying. I think the doctor and other doctors who have similar claims, I think they're telling the truth about what they think they're seeing. So they don't really have any tells for dishonesty when they're talking about it.
But here's what you should look for. Number one. The patient is anonymous. If I told you that something depends on an anonymous witness, what would you say? If it were a political story, you'd say, oh, anonymous means it's not true.
But if I tell you there's an anonymous case in the medical community, you probably wouldn't have the same impression because you'd say, well, duh, people like to stay private with their medical stuff. Totally understandable. Yeah, everybody understands that.
Except if you were 76 and you cured a Gleason 7 scored problem and cancer problem in your body, you're not being Joe Rogan, meaning that you're now in a special place. If it's true, you're in this very special place where only you can step up.
so going public unfortunately it comes with a price but if he'd like to also go on the show with his doctor and maybe have the medical records so we can all see a copy just just the medical records that are relevant i don't need to know anything about his health but we would ask questions such as was he on anything else right Well, HIPAA doesn't apply if everybody agrees.
So obviously the doctor can't on his own talk about it. We all understand that. It would have to be with consent. But if the patient and the doctor and their medical records could all be presented at the same time, maybe on a podcast, and somebody who could ask the right questions. I'm just going to throw out my favorite, Dr. Drew.
So you just put Dr. Drew on the podcast, or his podcast would be the ultimate, right? Dr. Drew's podcast. Just have the same doctor, but I don't want to hear from doctors anymore. I want to hear them sitting next to their patient with the medical records in their hand, just the relevant ones, and say, look at this, look at this, look at this. That's what happened.

Chapter 8: How is MSNBC contributing to political anxiety?
I don't think anybody in America who has a social media account and at least one friend would be completely unaware that there are these claims of complete miraculous cures for the very thing they have that can't be cured without pretty bad side effects in any other way. And if it metastasizes, then there's no cure at all. So you're talking about the most incentivized people
who are going to look for under every rock to find out what works. Now, let's do the math. So let's say, I don't know, hundreds of thousands of people being diagnosed every year with this exact cancer. Almost every one of them will find out how much ivermectin somebody else took and what result they got.
And if they believe it, which almost all of them will say, almost all of them will say, wait, you're telling me the side effects are minimal to nothing. And there are people who look like they're telling the truth, like this doctor, he looks like he's telling the truth. And they say it works. Why wouldn't you try it? Right?
If you're asking me what's rational in a risk reward world, I would think almost half of them are trying it by now. So my guess is you've got hundreds of thousands of people who are just sucking down the ivermectin and fentabenzol, and probably have for the last six months or so. Now, keep in mind that the claimed cures happen in one to three months of being on the, so just one to three months.
So by now, we should have a base of something like, if I had to guess, maybe one third of all the prostate cancers in America are Probably one-third of them have taken fenben or ivermectin or both. So if it's as effective as claimed, and the claim is not that it's 20% better than what you're doing, the claim is that it just gets rid of it.
So if 100,000 people got rid of an incurable cancer, wouldn't every oncologist know it? Because every one of them would have five patients apiece just in a year that had been cured. Now, am I doing the numbers wrong? Tell me where am I? Yeah, I'm aware of Dr. Mackus. I've looked into all the claims. And they're all the same.
It doesn't match the doctor with the medical record with the patient and somebody who can ask them some smart questions. And then I'll take it to the next level.
If it worked, hundreds of thousands would be using it, and certainly almost every oncologist would say, oh, my God, I don't have a randomized controlled trial, but in my practice, I saw three to five things that I've never seen in my life. So there's something going on, right? But I don't think you're going to hear that, so you have to ask why. Here's the second one.
If it works as well as the few doctors say, and again, under the assumption that probably 100,000 people are taking it by now, just in case, wouldn't the mortality for this specific cancer be dropping through the roof? Now, some of them are metastasized, so you can tell if they died or didn't die. But you might have to wait a few years.

Chapter 9: What are the implications of Trump's recent approval ratings?
Stephen A. Smith and Bill Maher, two people that have been for a long time associated with, let's say, the Democrat side. are definitely softening on Trump. So Stephen A. Miller was on Real Time with Bill Maher last night, and he made a big deal saying about how the reason that Trump is more popular than ever is that he's keeping his promises.
That he ran saying, I would do these hundred things, and he's just all over the hundred things. He's doing what he said he would do. And
for especially for men i think i don't know if it hits the same with women because there's definitely a gender difference to this so maybe the women can tell me but for men if you say you're going to do something that's even really hard and then you put your your total shoulder into it and like you're really leaning on it hard and you're pounding almost don't matter if it succeeds
Because that's the person you want on your team. Even before it works, and you don't even know if it's going to work in every possible way. Yeah. Watching him risk his life, go from the bottom of the swamp to the top of the hill, is some of the most inspirational male energy I've ever seen in my life. I mean, it is American- in the way that we want it to be, not the way it usually is.
It is masculine. It is corrective. It is common sense. It's kind of everything men like. So I certainly understand why the men like it. So I can't speak for the female view on this, but doing what you said you would do, I just feel like that means more to men. Is that sexist? because I'm willing to be talked out of that. So maybe you can correct me on that if you think so.
But anyway, even when Bill Maher criticizes Trump now, the criticisms are either some generic thing, like I don't like the guy, or he might be too something something. But I don't even think Bill Maher is calling him a fascist, because that would be dumb. And I don't think Bill Maher is saying that he's going to steal your democracy.
He seems to be spending almost all of his time telling the people on his side, stop saying stupid shit. You'll never win like that. And here again, we've got a country with a big need. Here's what the big need is. Come together. There's not a thing we can fix unless we find some unity. And I know there's competing opinions about Bill Maher and Stephen A. Smith, but I'll give you mine.
I think Bill Maher says there's a giant hole that nobody's filling, which is a reasonable Democrat who can sort of bridge that total divide that the media has created artificially. Somebody who can say, okay, can you just settle down? This part
you can not like you know let's let's say abortion this part you could not like that's perfectly reasonable that's a difference of opinion but the common sense stuff stop arguing against common sense you'll never win and honestly i think we're all better off if our if our two parties are a little bit competitive at the moment it looks like republicans could just roll over all comers for a while.
