Like a tether to the past.

Okay, I'm going to tell a story I don't know that I've ever told anyone.

Maybe I have, maybe I haven't.

I can't promise it's original to you.

But I was in Hoi An in Vietnam.

I'm going to lose this one.

Hoi An is one of the only beautiful places that I found.

In order to be able to do that... self-referentially with agency, knowing what you're doing, the metacognition to be able to do that and play a role to me seems that's like 200 IQ stuff to be able to do that.

The first thing that everyone says to a colorblind person: "What color is that over there?" You go, "I, I don't fucking-"

Well, it's very, it, it's very interesting being colorblind because it's, the terminology's bad.

You see color, but you don't have the same, um...

It's not like the world is, is black and white.

It's just yellow or green.

I can't tell.

So depending upon what colorblindness you have, you see different numbers in the pebble tests that they give you.

Yep.

What's self-incineration in this context?

One of the things that makes Christopher Hitchens a hero to so many people, almost oddly a secular saint, if you will, is that he held the promise that one could simply stand in some place that was reasonable And hold forth from that simple perspective, like, no, there is nothing to Islam.

It is nonsense.

It might be something he would say, or you might say, you know, free speech is absolute, and you have every right to say anything you want, and I have every right to say, and the better ideas will prevail.

And you watch what's happened with Sam and this question of Trump.

Sam perceives Trump to be an asymmetric existential threat and was willing to go and back the idea that the Hunter Biden laptop story might not have benefited the election.

And he's lost an enormous number of people who otherwise agree with him.

Without requiring that we hold it up to a higher power.

What do you think happens in 2024?

I don't know.

I don't know.

You know, I, um, I met with Robert Kennedy Jr. not too long ago, and he was nice enough to have my wife and I to his house.

It was very clear that he's trying to harken back to a previous remembered America through his family, and he's willing to die for it.

There's no question that he's willing to die to seek the presidency.

I think that Americans are going to have to come to grips with the fact that our two political parties Either one of them could win if they wanted.

What do you mean when you say trough?

Like a tether to the past.

Okay, I'm going to tell a story I don't know that I've ever told anyone.

Maybe I have, maybe I haven't.

I can't promise it's original to you.

In order to be able to do that... self-referentially with agency, knowing what you're doing, the metacognition to be able to do that and play a role to me seems that's like 200 IQ stuff to be able to do that.

I do particularly well with positive reinforcement, with enthusiasm, with excitability.

Can I give you my take on this? Because I think this is one of the most interesting things that you just put your finger on.

What you're talking about are cognitive clusters.

So for example, when I was on, this is the first time I learned about it, I was on stage with Ben Shapiro and Sam Harris.

And if you look at the clusters of comments on that video from the Masonic Theater in San Francisco, they were like, thank God Eric was there because otherwise we'd be hearing about, is there a God, yes, no, which is boring as hell.

Why is Eric on stage? We're all here just to hear the atheist debate the Orthodox Jew.

So what you learn about is that the cognitive clusters have no awareness that they're part of this dyadic relationship of what you are and how they process.

The first thing that everyone says to a colorblind person, what color is that over there? You go, I don't fucking

How big is it?

Very few things are unprecedented.

Like, almost everything is a variation of something you've already seen.

This is the thing that we've worried about for forever.

It's not just AI.

It's a collision of two separate things.

It's artificial intelligence and artificial life.

So how does this pertain to AI? The example you gave of importing foreign labor, how would that pertain to a new model for AI and distributing the value?

Hmm

... is that he held the promise that one could simply stand in some place that was reasonable and hold forth from that simple perspective.

Like, "Nope, there is nothing to Islam.

It is nonsense." It might be something he would say, or he might say, um, you know, "Free speech is absolute, and you have every right to say anything you want, and I have every right to say, and, and the better ideas will prevail." Now, you watch what's happened with Sam and this question of Trump.

Sam perceives Trump to be an asymmetric existential threat and was willing to go and back the idea that the Hunter Biden laptop story might not, uh, have benefited the election, and he's lost an enormous number of people who otherwise agree with him.

And now what's the reasoning? The reasoning, and something I-- oddly, I-- first time I met Sam, I went on his show to warn him that you can't just optimize for truth.

You have to optimize...

Without requiring that we hold it up to a higher power.

You have to optimize...

I said, "I have four variables I can't live without: truth, meaning, fitness, and grace." So Trump is a fitness puzzle to Sam, which is if we allow Trump to destroy the country, in Sam's mind, then we've lost fitness.

Without requiring that we hold it up to a higher power.

I think that Americans are going to have to come to grips with the fact that, um, our two political parties, either one of them could win if they wanted, but the problem is, is that they wanna win as a trough.

What do you mean when you say trough?

Maybe I have, maybe I haven't.

Can't promise it's original to you.

But I was in Hoi An in Vietnam.

Now, I'm gonna lose this one.

Hoi An is one of the only beautiful places that I found, you know, like Hue and Hoi An.

But in order to be able to do the, "Ukraine is a country, it is a small country, Russia is a big country, they are a bigger country, this is bad, time is all around us." In order to be able to do that self-referentially with agency, knowing what you're doing, the metacognition to be able to do that and play a role, to me seems, uh, sh- that's like 200 IQ stuff to be able to do that.

Okay.

So I spent two years indoors.

being hounded to be vaccinated because of four amino acids being spliced into spike protein of coronavirus.

Now, my guess is that that's pretty easy, right? Think about it.

You need 12 nucleotides to code for four amino acids at the exact right place in spike protein, and that's enough to shut down Earth.

This is high leverage science.

And my claim is before we decide that what we want is let's get back to kicking ass and taking names.

What do you think UAPs are today? Is that really the first window in what's happening if there's something there? The question for you is, what do you think today UAPs are?

Times.

Everybody says time travel because they think that time can only be one-dimensional.

But imagine, for example, that you put a giant gun on a rail car.

The rail car can only move in one dimension.

Now somebody puts a giant gun on something like a tank, and you go to the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Now you can move in two dimensions.

Now you put it on an A-10 Warthog, and you can move in three.

Right.

Hmm

Man, I'm gonna lose this one.

Hoi An is one of the only beautiful places that I found, you know, like Hue and Hoi An.

A lot of things were really ripped up in that war.
