 So we got to stand up for capitalism. We got to stand up for individualism. We got to stand up for choice for values for making decisions for ourselves For focusing, you know, one of the things that has come through Really clear in this crisis is that our leaders don't think There is an unthinking Across the board They don't consider alternatives. They don't weigh they don't think probabilistically. They don't accumulate evidence They don't seek data They seek experts to tell them what to think to tell them what to do We live in a culture that's unthinking the anti-enlightenment culture and a culture that's rejected reason that's rejected thinking and that adores politicians doors politicians politicians who know nothing Who are experts at nothing? Who can't even get the resources together of experts to solve a problem? All they're interested in is being right and being re-elected, appeasing their voters, appeasing whoever Unthinking is the way I would categorize how leaders have responded to this crisis And there are few healthcare professionals out there like Amesh Adulja and a few others who read I've read They're up heads and watching watching a post in New York Times that have said everything that I just said Let us cocoon the old In other words separate the old from everybody else Don't shut down the economy. Don't keep everybody home cocoon the elderly test test test Identify people the virus isolate them So it's a lot of work a lot of planning a lot of logistics a lot of thought But scientists back this and the only real reason I think a lot of scientists today are so focused on shutting everything down is because They don't believe there's any other alternative given the politics not because they believe this is the best solution I mean one of the things I've heard is that a lot of them afraid to speak up A lot of them afraid to speak up against trump or to speak up against komo or to speak up against The authorities that are shutting us down Fauci is is Not a model for this at all He's conventional And you don't I don't get a sense that he knows more than anybody else Or that he's thinking more than anybody else He's within the administration somebody who's at least honest enough to take it like it is But I don't see any solutions any alternatives any interesting things I would take a mesh a million times over Fauci any day and I think that number of scientists Who have been interviewed about this That are far more knowledgeable and understanding than he is And he's in politics. So maybe he's super knowledgeable and super knows everything But he's in politics. So he has to stay quiet. He has to follow Yeah, I on certain things he could contradict trump, but don't go too far because you'll lose your job The cdc There's plenty of evidence to suggest that the cdc did not wanted to do things very differently early on And it basically trumped silence them and shut them down To prevent them from doing the things that needed to be done Yes, I love to yell. What can I do? It's I tried before not to yell and it came right back because some of you guys are making me angry I mean This is not rocket science But if you're a collectivist and you don't want to think for yourself and you want to just buy into the rhetoric that's out there This is what happens and let me tell you You should be enraged You should be enraged By what has transpired in this country over the last three months Not sit at home and twiddle your thumbs You should be fighting this you should be writing you should be speaking you should be engaged in activism in every way that you can You should be outraged You know, we're gonna get to the point where the individual rights of 300 million people are constrained not a little bit Not by a little bit regulation here or there, but where we're kept at home Because our politicians are cowards And are non thinkers anti thinkers Anyway, what we need today what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason By the intellect not by feelings wishes wins or mystic revelations Any man or woman who values his life and who does not Want to give in to today's cult of despair cynicism and impotence And does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist roads Using the super chat and I noticed yesterday when I appealed For support for the show.
