  • My guests today are Scott Adams and Noam Dworman. Scott Adams is an American writer, commentator, and cartoonist best known for creating the comic strip Dilbert. In addition to his cartooning work, Adams has authored several books and frequently comments on a range of topics from media bias to psychology to the mechanics of persuasion. Noam Dworman is the owner of the Comedy Cellar in New York and is a good personal friend of mine who has his own podcast called "Live From the Table", which is actually one of my favorite podcasts. I'm co-releasing this episode with Noam, so check out his podcast as well.
    Now there is an interesting backstory to this conversation surrounding Scott's recent controversial comments and I go into the details of this in the intro to the episode. In this episode, we also address Scott's comments, we talk about mainstream media bias, we discuss Trump's efforts to overturn the election, where Scott has a very different view than myself and Noam. We talk about racism and also double standards around the kind of speech that's acceptable, given your race. Finally, we go on to discuss Scott's recent self-help book called "Reframe Your Brain: The User Interface for Happiness and Success"

    I got fired from a top tech company when they told us the hundreth time to hire people based on ethnicity and gender (they pushed sooo hard for having more women, girl bosses, and people of "color"). I publicly said on our internal news channels that I am only willing to hire based on competence. I was called all sorts of names, a monster, I was told that they pity my female relatives, I was called by the global work council, global HR, and local HR.

      I worked at as a government contractor and then it was not diversity but nepotism. They would hire people to be network engineers (I have a degree in computer science) who had no experience AND degrees in biology, for example. I applied for a different job just to see if I would even be interviewed, They basically said they would talk to me but the job had already been filled by a help desk (phone answerer) worker with no experience in IT but they promised his dad he would be offered a better job (despite what I just said). I am very surprised we have not been hacked more due to lack of skills. Yes, I know you don't have to have a degree to do some jobs but it was listed as a requirement.

      It hasn’t gotten everywhere yet: our team was looking for a new team member. My boss really wanted a woman to get some diversity going (not bad, we’re an all-male team) but all the best candidates (most fitting industry experience, work experience/maturity level, knowledge of and contacts in the relevant countries) all happened to be male. There was one female short list candidate but she was rather junior and didn’t have the same level of industry experience. In the end, my boss went for the most experienced person. Worked out great for the team.

    I also noticed at all I mean all HR meetings, trainings and HR conferences had huge focus on diversity hiring.

I'm sure it's the same when you meet a white guy who smiles at you genuinely and you realize they don't hate you for being black, only takes a second.

    Great conversation. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
    I had an experience at a job years ago: I am a white male. My desk was next to an older black female. We would regularly banter and joke through the years that we worked together. I am a jokester. I loved to make her laugh. At the time, I had long hair and played in a band. Because we both loved music, we would talk about music that we shared a love for: Earth Wind & Fire, Kool and the Gang, Marvin Gaye. She used to tell me “You’re white chocolate”. I took it as a compliment - and I believe that she meant it as one.
    At some point, I got tired of long hair and shaved my head. When I came into work, she was visibly surprised. I asked her what she thought. She said, “You look like a racist.” At first, I laughed, because I thought that the years that we had interacted had demonstrated that wasn’t true. I thought that she was just chiding me. She wasn’t laughing though. Her demeanor towards me changed. The wall that was raised was palpable.
    I’ve thought about this often since. I think it’s an interesting lesson about bias. I made a small change that triggered a strong reaction. I wonder if that the fact that I had long hair made me an outlier - and therefore opened the door to the possibility that I was one of ‘the good white people.’ When I had a shaved head, I looked like someone who could be mistaken for a skinhead.
    She had lived most of her life in the south - and had come up at a time where racism was an existential threat. Bald white men were often the perpetrators. It makes sense that she would have an aversion to bald white men - as it was necessary to her safety.
    In her defense, I rationalized the experience like this: If every time I had been beaten up in my life, it was by someone wearing a red shirt, I would have a sensitivity to people wearing red shirts. It wouldn’t matter that not everyone wearing a red shirt beat me up - rather - every time I had been beaten up it was by someone in a red shirt. Rather than spending time trying to determine whether I was dealing with a ‘good red shirt’ or a ‘bad red shirt’, a sure-fire way of minimizing harm, would be to avoid red shirts altogether. There is no stronger instinct than our instinct to survive. I believe that my shaved head - in some way - triggered a survival mechanism in her.
    Sorry for the long comment. I’d be interested in thoughtful discussion on this.

      Nicely said. I often make a similar point that individual biases are ubiquitous, but they aren’t crimes & shouldn’t be treated as such. It’s only when someone infringes on another’s rights that it becomes serious. If you were a veteran in a Japanese POW camp, you might not be so fond of Japanese people: Not a crime, just a bias. We all have biases.

      I think it is a credit to you that even after your experience, you went out of your way as much as you did to see things from the woman’s perspective. I am not so generous.
      She said you looked like a racist, which I assume she would describe as someone who negatively judges someone based on physical characteristics/appearance. She judged you based on your appearance and to make it worse she knew who you were as a person.
      I believe she was being illogical and hypocritical and I’m not as willing as you are to give her a pass. If you have been a victim of racism then I believe you should know better and not behave like the racists themselves. You have to be better than that.
      At the end of the day, if she’s no longer talking to you then it’s her loss. I think she’s being shallow and needs to get out more. Not everyone with a skin head is racist.

      As Scott says, for your personal safety it is ALWAYS acceptable to discriminate. ALWAYS.
      That being said, if you are not in danger (you know the person who shaved his head), it's a less than optimal time to discriminate. You already know the person isn't an enemy or a danger so judging them on a haircut is pretty silly.

      @@hendrixisgod777 Thank you for your comment. I very much appreciate it.
      Years ago I read a book that talked about the baggage that we carry from our childhood - specifically, unresolved issues with our parents. The resolution was in essence: your parents are just regular humans doing their best. They carry baggage of their own. 'Forgive' them for the areas that they let you down - and release that baggage. I took that little lesson and searched for other areas in my life that I could apply it. With that idea in mind, I chose to focus on all of her good traits: she was a good mom and grandma. She had a wonderful sense of humor (and great taste in music 🙂). Her bias was only a tiny piece of who she was. I heard that she passed a few years ago. When I think of her, I smile.
      I think most of us want the same thing: security, love, respect. We want to contribute and to be valued. We could all benefit from connecting on our similarities - rather than justifying resentment over petty differences. I think that there is an element that benefits from keeping us all fighting. Like a magician's sleight-of-hand, it's a distraction from what's really going on. The best we can do is to not get hung up on the little things - and pay attention to the big things.

My boss told me that I was never meant to have that job. They were going to give it to the black applicant but she never showed up for the interview and I did so I got the job. It was unbelievable how they, not once, thought they were being racist to me because I was the white person.

    Im 26. Growing up I never saw myself as identifing with being white. However, now that my race is being otherised, I do identify myself as being white. I would say I started feeling this way around 4 years ago.
    Ive thought about why Ive had this shift in my way of thinking. Well, others think of me as white and Im being told thats bad. Well, I dont think its bad and I certainy didnt choose it, so in order to step back against white hatred, I own it and with pride. Kind of like a "yeah Im white, what the hell you want from me?" Attitude that I have.
    I imagine this is how black people feel and have felt throughout American history.
    I imagine because I am younger than Mr. Noam, and this all started happening during my early adulthood, I feel a bit more strongly about the situation. 22 to 26 are some major developmental years. I am thinking about what mine and my childs future are going to look like if we continue down this path. Hes a much older man, with a succesful life already established, of course hes less provoked. Of course hes less likely to change his way of identifing at this point in his life.
    Now Im not concerned about my safety around black people. I live in a safe area in general. Im rarely concerned about my safty around any people really. Definatly protective of my small child around men. Ill never leave my child alone with a man, family or otherwise. Howerever, If you lived in an area that was high in crime, and you knew that one group overwhelmingly didnt like your group, I would not blame you for avoiding them. Hell, even if its not about safty, and just the meer fact that you knew they were likely not to want to be a friend or get to know you, why even try?
    Luckily I dont live in a racially hostile area, but from what I see people saying about white people online, if I lived in a place where that was the general attitudes... yeah, Id mind my own damn business and be in my way.
    Im sorry if that bothers anyone.

    Understandable that America would be wary of "White Identity", but we should also be wary of "Black Identity", for example, in being toxic, divisive, corrosive. "Pride" based on skin color HAS GOT TO GO! We must move past this archaic, sick racial-ism. Whatever form: White Pride...Black Pride...Brown Pride, etc. Ideally, how about American Pride? Of course, enjoy ethnically tribal pride at home or the local organized community center.
    Better to distinguish between what is said in private ( or semi-private ), what is silly, like Scott pointed out, and what is a serious public claim. Partly because our Society / Cancel Culture is playing dirty, ends-justify-the-means, lies are fine as long as they win, hypocrisy is a great tool. Regarding black people being good at basketball, it's not really funny, but a general truth based on college and the NBA. Not as funny as white people eating cheese. LoL.

      not knowing Noam at all, he came across as programmed by leftist media and hatred toward conservatives when he was asking questions. It was possible that he was speaking for a portion of his audience or a greater combined audience in general, and he was asking questions that everyone needed answers to. I think Scott was a bit evasive when it came to answering why he said that white people should fear black people, etc (not trying to mischaracterize, so much as highlight a potential mischaracterization that's occurred).

      Why does it hurt?
      Is there a way around it?
      If there's no way around feeling some measure of pain/disappointment, could we perhaps make it hurt *less,* and still manage to transmit a proper narrative, instead of the ubiquitous (within politics/media/entertainment/education/business) racist lies/brainwash?

    The point he had made previous to 22:25 about both parties gaming the system but it wasn’t illegal - yeah no, it was LITERALLY illegal to change the voting laws in Pennsylvania without going through congress. There is a law prohibiting. And Pennsylvania changed the law so that they could do mail in voting, but they did it through an illegal process. And clearly nobody cared or knew on this panel because that was egregious.

    Every once in a while I come to check out Coleman because everyone seems to love the guy. He's always come across to me as a leftist hack fooling gullible people into thinking he's nuanced and balanced.
    Every time I'm disappointed.
    A poll is done in which over half the respondents say it is not okay to be a white person. Scott Adams says given those poll results maybe white people should look out for themselves when black people are around. And Coleman says this struck him as racist. It would never occur to anybody but a dedicated leftist to think Adams' remark was racist. If over half the members of group A say that group B's existence is unacceptable, then telling group B to watch out for group A is just ordinary common sense. It takes confirmation bias and motivated reasoning to call it racist.

    17:00 this portion of your discussion, where you all take up the meanings of the words "insurrection" and "coup" illustrates one of the most powerful and insidious pillars of the assault on modern society.
    The whole point of language is to facilitate the communication of ideas by providing standardized sounds and symbols with specific definitions for each. When someone uses a word, especially in a hostile or politically charged manner, the very first thing that must be done is to understand the definitions of the words used in that sentence, before any discussion of the validity of that statement can occur.
    The fact that not one of you very intelligent and educated individuals could simply give a definition of these words, nor consulted a dictionary, illustrates how far gone we are.
    The infiltration and adulteration of our educational systems to replace the emphasis on standard meanings of words with an emphasis on what each individual "feels" the word implies is one of the biggest coups that have been effected against us. We can't even have a national conversation to clarify what Bob says to Jim (just picking a few random names) because each small group discussing it are going to ignore actual definitions and just talk about how they feel about those words.
    And the worst part is that no one is raising this point. Its importance is completely lost on the vast majority of our society. If we can't get more people on board with using standard language and consulting dictionaries instead of their intuition, we're up shit creek without a paddle!

    • @therainman7777
      @therainman7777 Před 7 měsíci +1

      There is definitely an assault taking place on language, but that’s not what happened here. Words like “insurrection” and “coup” do have subtleties in a way that words like “man” and “woman” do not. What happened here was totally normal and healthy: a group of people are having a conversation, someone uses a word, someone else introduces another word, and then together they clarify what they’re really trying to say. There’s nothing remotely wrong with that, and looking at a dictionary would not have helped anything, because the important part is figuring out what the person was trying to say, not settling which person was using precisely the right definition. The idea that keeping dictionaries on hand and consulting them mid-conversation would actually help solve our problems is, frankly, laughable.

    He’s a comic who writes a comic strip. He was making a joke that was taken out of context in order to smear him. The context of what he said includes two points which were left out of the reporting deliberately. The first is that he was joking and did not mean what he said literally, and the other part of this is he prefaced his while “if you’re white you should get away from black people” comment with “If you believe the results of this poll” and a through line of his comedy which he does on his podcast is how he doesn’t believe the results of any poll, since companies design polls in a biased way such that they will deliver a desired result. With that context understood he is not stating his earnest belief that white people should stay away from black people. His actual point was a poll had been designed cynically to create more racism. These nuances in his position are obvious to regular readers/listeners of his material, and that’s who he was talking to, they may not be obvious to the press who used it to smear him but never the less that’s all it was a smear job which relied on obscuring the totality of what he was saying. It’s really not complicated.

He said people meet him and assume he was a good student, is good at math and works really hard. Then he burst out laughing.

I lean more towards the “there’s something there” but I thought Noam’s questions, directions and assumptions were pretty terrible actually. He didn’t actually get to something worth pressing on until it was too late. And I take Phillips frustration bc I’ve had the same kind of frustration trying to get at something factual with someone in a discussion. But Noam was simply discussing things that could never be assumed by a journalist like what someone meant. Now I don’t read Phillips articles but even if he made assumptions in his articles, I still think you had him there as the smartest “expert” on the subject. And I kinda feel like he was right in saying well you’re not listening to me bc he’s giving you his answer but you’re just not liking it or don’t agree with his conclusion.

He goes out of his way to lie and make excuses for his particular fantasy to be real. But he always conveniently seems to avoid the part where there's no evidence beyond his own fictional narrative.
