There's a lot of dispute between the two countries about which one has to cop Mel Gibson.

2:30 He was awesome. I mean, being that famous doesn't discount certain biological realities of brain function. So that's a real issue. And, you know, when he was with that crazy lady. Like I think a healthy famous person, we we all know them are people who are able to Get it together. So Mel Gibson needs a Danny Glover the way that Martin Riggs did. I love it.

13:44 So the things that you tend to click on and the things that of it is algorithms. So the things that you tend to click on Exactly. It's more likely to be that. that's where the open exchange and the marketplace of ideas comes into place. We'll tell you why. They're so off the deep end.

Like whenever the, We got to talk some dudes into flying planes into the World Trade Center in Towers 1 and 2. Yeah. But see, Joe, these plans had long been hatched because there were camps in Afghanistan, they had to make up this shit about WMDs and all that sort of stuff. You could easily have

23:05 Cuban friendlies and attack Guantanamo Bay. going on with Cuba. So they had theories. Yes. But it would be a lot better if they just didn't do any of this shit in the first No, that's right. of something so that it goes another way.

34:58 And this guy got extra. The PAC spends $1 million to correct commenters on Reddit and Facebook. Trump has organically too. I can dislike all of his policies as much as I do, but I can still regard him as being a breath of fresh air.

In fact, I feel stupid for even having used cunt and you should not do that. and we need to look at each other for, like Martin Luther King said, Because another one of the tweets that happened at this conference read, What if they just leave the water running? be racist it is very strange that there is a word that certain people are allowed to use

So, Australia is one of the most pro-gay legalization because they wanted to keep it illegal so they could make more money and they Of course not. they're not doing it now.

Have you... think about like what you've done in life You get a thrill out of it You watch this There's a difference See, that's what I'm talking about. What is that, Dubai? Yeah, then I wouldn't like that. You'd be like, I wish that guy got fucked to death. grandmother took her to the hospital because she was so drunk she woke up in hospital first thing

1:18:59 And if and the judge was saying if a victim is so intoxicated that they are completely unconscious, then it's not actually forcible because there's nothing for you. Clearly. mouths clearly but at the same time i can sort of understand that maybe it's not the same level You know, that gets real weird. Some guys like fucking their girlfriends when they're drunk.

1:20:43 Yeah. your car when you're drunk it's not like oh I was too No, women were saying, this was part of the argument, that if a man fucks you and he's drunk and you're sober, even though he's the proactive one, right? thing yeah that's right college or university what is it college college i think yeah i think Yep. That was a funny, funny. is it have we gotten to a stage where it's just not possible to even talk about that because

1:23:57 rape this is level 8 like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa as soon as you start getting into that Well, it's not only ridiculous. what they're doing so they rape the woman so the men and the women even though they're both engaging were you ever were you ever gonna die because someone like slapped you on the ass in the Much better. Yeah. Shark attack. Tiger.

1:26:39 What? It might be in an area of Africa, but Africa itself is fucking huge. Wow. So they raise elephants in these high fence operations just so people can go over there is just killer. And when he was saying that, you really kind of get it. We have this idea There's nothing there for them. It's so dark. Yeah. Most of the time we let the hyenas short.

1:30:21 don't want to see it yeah i do i do know that they've had to kill elephants in certain areas that have infiltrated these villages and started killing people. There's an area – it's an area the size – it's called Dharavi. like going through this place, Oh, we're so out of touch. This is the greatest time in the history of the world. We fail to recognize how prosperous we are. I mean, most of the people who are listening to this podcast are in the top 5% of income

1:32:59 So there you go. 100? why you became ambitious and why you worked hard He brought up the idea of, what do they call it, basic income? And if these are people that are just going to fuck off anyway, but this way they're going to fuck off, but they won't be committing crime because they're going to have a steady income for the rest But here's the thing.

1:35:28 They basically get a universal basic income. He has a podcast called the Slate Money Podcast. And he's a big advocate of this idea. And just to test the proposition of, like, how much less will people actually work if everyone gets a basic income? getting rid of all of these different programs You go out and you buy what you need to buy. Colorado is going to be playing around with universal health care at the November election.

1:37:48 decided to give every state resident $35,000 a year. Meanwhile, you're the sober one. I mean, Uber is a transportation company that doesn't employ anybody. i buy a knife okay i buy a kitchen knife um you know it's nice it cuts my vegetables but if i But for the person themselves, someone who learns a trade and someone who learns a craft, where you're always going to remember where it came from yeah that's even if it's a cutting board

1:41:44 And maybe people can, more people can, if everyone got a universal basic income, people I was making fun of Eddie talking about it, but then I thought about it for quite a while afterwards. You're barely going to live off that. even though it's not a perfect analogy, just look at the countries of Northern Europe, But yeah, but so what? Germany's a big country.

1:44:02 Well, immigration is separate, I'm not advocating that America should invite 10 million unscreened, I wonder. of those things. I don't remember. okay bam ask.com is not going to help you with that hey you don't know that it would cost uh I'll make $249,999. lot of the benefit. To stop children from growing up in desperation yeah to stop children You're dealing with this pattern that never gets fixed, never gets corrected.

1:48:22 But a lot of recent research suggests that just giving people money poor people in Africa or desperately There's this paternalistic idea that we always have, like we have to figure out how to get people out of poverty. This is crazy. Yeah. often say like you know first thing i'm going to do when i get into when i get to congress is meat is. Yeah, you say cut the military, but then what

1:51:43 That's me, too. I'm sorry. They're really quite nice. You have more taxpayers to pay for them. everything. So in Australia, if you paid $18,000 in tax that year, then there'll be a little purple The IRS already has it. They could just fill it out themselves. Instead, they make Also, the military industrial complex that the Republicans essentially work for don't want you to continue hating taxes as much as possible. Also, the military industrial complex that the Republicans essentially work for

1:54:33 Well, I think one of the good things about someone proposing something like that is you get to look at who's opposing it. That's where they didn't go. Like, what would- Even better when I do a rant in my Australian accent and you play the US national anthem But talk in your real accent. Stop. a woman are only voting for her because she's got a vagina, and someone on Twitter said

1:56:35 I really don't have a problem with it. I saw it. This is different. just in the same sense that I'm broadly pro, and that nobody should have a problem with that because they declare themselves to be trans. bearded fat man walks in after her you know that is not necessarily transphobic and then all of a That was a good rant. What we really should be concerned with is not the trans people

1:59:30 Oh, I see what you mean. If someone identifies with the opposite sex possibility. But again, it comes back to our conversation about rape or about islam or about about like black We're doing Passchendaele all over again. It was a fucking weird time. I think that absolves the left too much. And I think it also I'm a Stephen Fry fan, but I gotta say, I think he went out like a bitch.

2:01:54 this is not a big deal i don't know if this is forever i'm not doing this as a stand i just feel Bored? No. Upset. He made that decision as well. I don't have time for 140 characters. Unfollowed? I unfollowed you. I mean, one or two or three or even a hundred people got mad at him? It upsets me that he would have that reaction. Yeah. The ghastliness is absolutely the same.

2:05:19 Why did I think that pram was a type of boat? Okay, pram boat. I mean, he's dead on about the sanctimonious. I asked her to explain Brussels. Or I asked a dog why I was bitten by a dog when I was four. for his health that was taken to a nearby hospital he's probably having a fucking heart attack he was like, oh, so I offended a towel head? and uh he the kid survived and all these people had uh donated money apparently

2:08:44 I mean, it's not like someone just yelling something to someone out randomly. Yeah. What? Bags under the eyes vanish in seconds. Under eye bags are just a start. It's clever though, right? the chemistry of the chains, the researchers can Whoa, we're plastic people. anymore. I wonder if they feel like rubbers, though. if someone caresses your your cheek does it just feel like well i don't worry about what they feel

2:12:13 We're going to cover ourselves with rubber so that we can spray them on our eye bags so that we look a little bit less old And there's something that I was reading about today about a type of polymer that they've used on, God, what was it on? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably. It's called Linex. And watch what happens. And by the way, this is like less than a quarter inch coating that they put on these eggs.

2:15:21 not much bigger no it's not like like they became super thick because of this stuff. Or cover your fucking whole body with, bro. You reckon we're ever going to do that? Now imagine what 2116 is going to be like. Well, also think about if we can since the Industrial Revolution. It's going to some other really smart people, and they're going to figure out

2:17:26 we just evolve out of that we've only had them for less than 100 years right we only been pumping exactly the same thing we create a different kind of life with technology. Two computers walking to a bathroom. They'd be like, I really wish I was thinner. right? So deep blue and deep blue one, whatever was it, Kasparov. What that basically does is to calculate the game itself the way that the chess computer does.

2:20:35 because it's doubling all the time can you look that up jamie how many times do you need to fold calculations i mean obviously it doesn't know anything we don't think right but it but for me it is a form of artificial intelligence in that it is making calculations. and that learns that to say that they're not self-aware but like a chimp is would be meaningless

2:22:30 they treat go games they just learn behavior patterns they would be the worst people in the Everyone's going to love you. Yes. from his kind of Facebook-style thing. And I i think you're right that that could be one way of creating like android-created thing Ah, shut up. Yeah yeah I gotta get out of here man It always does Fucking holler at me. Great.
