*Trump's greatest quote* (icymi): "The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. Do we have the confidence in our values to defend them? Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve our civilization in the face of those who would subvert and destroy it?" -- President Donald Trump
Idk why, but i was shocked when the interviewer allowed adams to speak, finish a thought, and actually answer the question before interjecting and trying the lead the answer.
While I cringe at yet another improper use of the term "literally", I do agree with the sentiment. It's even more surprising that such discourse occurs at Stanford University, which is a hotbed of leftism (which comes as no surprise, considering its locale in the heart of Silicon Valley). To their credit, however, they do strive to be classically liberal and have productive discussions.
@@edwardganio2699 Some dictionaries have updated the meaning of "literally" to sometimes meaning "figuratively". It's quite annoying to watch the growth of inaccuracy of a language.
One of the hardest things in life is to be able to admire someone without necessarily agreeing with their politics. There are millions of people who genuinely despise everything about President Trump which is unfortunate because he does have some admirable strengths. What’s nice about being an independent thinker and in the middle per se, is that Scott Adams is relatively high in compassion and politeness, which allow him to be objective.
Who knew the "author" of Dilbert (that I've read for years) - is such an intelligent guy. I like him (even though I don't agree with absolutely everything he said).
The reason you can't go swimming for a half hour after eating is so that mommy and daddy can finish eating before they have to be hyper-vigilant again.
I had a Thermo professor who drew a graph on the board, on the Y axis was "model accuracy" and on the X axis was "adjustable parameters" and the graph rose in value until around ~10 and then tapered off to 0. He said, "after a certain point you're just guessing at the values of the inputs and this makes the model worse." It's interesting to see Scott Adams talk about exactly that.
I haven't listened to this yet but the name "How to fail at almost everything" is intriguing enough for me to pen down my impression of the whole idea, so here it goes: In order to fail at most everything is really not a bad goal but a glimpse at the eventful journey to an ultimately successful outcome. For one to fail at an endeavor they first must "try."
I ❤️ Scott Adams... Couldn't recommend enough his video Periscopes, usually called "Coffee with Scott Adams." (The insights and perspectives he offers are sublime, and epiphany inducing). REALLY looking forward to his new book. 👍👍
The worst part of American's view of politics is that they can't get past the character and theatre of it, to realize that those people are actually DOING things that affect the lives of people on Earth.
If you haven't read the book or listened carefully on Scott's words from the interview because your confirmation bias towards Trump, you're missing the best career advise that you can get from a little guy from upstate NY who succeeded in life because his system.
I was mortified during the debates at his put downs. In retrospect, I think that he was the only guy who would be able to beat Hillary, and stand up to the stuff the left is throwing out. Sometimes I cringe at his Tweets and sometimes he cracks me up. I am not disappointed with Trump. I think he is a far better leader that most people thought he was going to be. Twitter is enormously important to him because the main stream media attacks him constantly. He's communicating directly with us. Love his hair. Lol. I'm Scottish too so I understand the coloration thing. No biggy.
PRODOS It is rare, and this case refreshing, that an interviewer will let their subject talk without interupting. I am usually not interested in an interviewer's views or agenda.
What do you mean men have no responsibility for the pregnancy? 1: without a man there is no baby; 2: If there is a baby he is legally responsible for paying to support it.
Watching this end of October 2018. After watching one of his "Real Coffee With Scott Adams" videos where he was about to be a guest on Fox... wearing the SAME shirt, which he also wore when a guest with Ben Shapiro. Scott called it his "TV SHIRT". He wasn't kidding! Even 15 months ago, same shirt LOL.
Replying to let you know that youtube censored your comment from my view with the default "top comment" sorting. I guess it's not censorship to them if they outsource it to a botnet.
Just to explain this for busy people: This meme gets shouted out whenever Trump makes a Clintonian move to the middle, as if he were getting a policy goal in return. What he's really getting in return, is political capital for re-election. Clinton got re-elected in 96 because Gingrich couldn't find any reason to complain about him, and Clinton's base had no-one else to vote in. The same will happen with Trump.
This program just gets better and better. Robinson is tops as an interviewer. His guest selection opens up so many topics and points of view. Thanks to the Hoover Institute.
My regard for both you Mr. Peter Robinson and Mr. Scott Adams has soared 'bigly'. Thank you for the interview and sharing some thought provoking perspectives.
Scott has the gift of contrarianism. By that I mean, he runs against conventional wisdom and has the intellect and the ability to deftly poke holes in it. This interview highlights his gift which adds to his "talent stack".
He is wrong about y2k bug. We were working for years on that. Old programmers were coming out of retirement and getting £1500 a week to rewrite code 30 years old. It was an absolute gravy train.
Right. Scott could have used a better example showing how humans 'rise to the challenge of seemingly insurmountable problems'. For the Y2k problem, once it was identified, there was no waiting. It was all hands on board .The 'geniuses' weren't called in at the last minute -- it was more a matter of detailed analysis and applying fixes in a way that didn't break anything.. -- great contract $ for old Cobol coders as dogcow666 says.. below...
Not entirely wrong, the Y2K thing was greatly exaggerated (yes & I was in the industry) for extreme commercial advantage, ie., gouging. Nice work if you can get it. But little did we know at the time it's real purpose would be to prove the politics and funding model that could be scaled up beautifully for monetising Climate & Carbon anxieties, now cranking over merrily at an annual $1.5trillion "global business". Kerching!
Y2K was real and the risk was unknown. People are cheap. They don't have intrusion detection, keep up with their patching and other such security foolishness because it "saves" money. Not responding to Y2K left you open to risk. It left you open to risk on older systems that just hummed along without upkeep which was a huge savings - until it needed attention and there was nobody around that was a subject matter expert. I am in IT and was back then as well.
@@zenden6564 it was the consulting firms dream situation. Lots of money spent on almost nothing. There were a few things that would have been critical but the vast majority was fear mongering and idiocy. Thank God it only comes once every hundred years, I'd have a hard time going through it again with a straight face.
Maybe, but somehow I feel he didn't answer what advice he would give to Donald Trump himself. And his comment about "low energy Jeb" 36:34 _Before I heard that my impression of Jeb Bush was this is a cool calm executive, this guy is gonna be the perfect guy, if there 's war he is not gonna get to it, the moment I heard "low energy" I couldn't see him any other way._ I wonder if his impression of Trump changed when people started to call him pussy grabber, Don the Con and what not.
+CondorFlyingHigh Those were just insults. Trumps characterizations _essentialized_ his opponents, dismissively summarizing what everyone already sensed but couldn't name.
+CondorFlyingHigh He did answer that question with the entirety of his interview (those people were not Trump's market--they were the ones that would be "perpetually confused," etc (if it's not Don the Con, Pussy Grabber, etc, it's Nazi, Cheeto, etc - e.g. whatever the media said that week)). Scott is high IQ, and therefore not susceptible to the emotional whims the more malleable group-thinkers are subject to (he sees the forest). For example, bullshitting about what groupie women "let" you do is definitely not even a tree in that forest (it's barely a weed). People only care about that silly banter because the media tells them to. "Don the Con" is another great one. People that use it lack the self-awareness to realize they are just feeding their own confirmation bias (why is Don a "con"? because he embellished something, which is EXACTLY what he writes about doing in his books... If anything, he's the most honest politician this country has ever had). High IQ, "forest see-ers," like Adams see this stuff. The best, most objective, measure of "rightness"/competence is diverse success (not just success in one thing like Zuckerberg, but consistent success in multiple things, like first FB investor, Peter Thiel), and Scott Adam optimizes that.
I have noticed, that the people who are most prone to believe the things that experts have to say, are perfectionists. Perfectionist's always seem to believe that there's a group of people out there that know best, and they're always trying to get their achievements or work validated by this unnamed group of experts. Then you look at who these quote-unquote experts are and you find out that they don't even know what the hell they're doing half the time.
I never heard of Scott Adams and I didn't read Dilbert. This guy is the kind of liberal that I defend when talking to my far right conservative friends and family. I consider myself a Libertarian, and wish the war in politics would end. Realizing that most liberals and conservatives aren't the extreme nut cases that the media portrays is a good start.
Mr. Robinson, you manage to get such insightful guests with so much to say. Bravo! This is easily my favorite channel and sadly I've only found it recently. I have some catching up to do.
Fantastic audiobook. Don't let your potential disagreements with him on global warming turn you away from so much good stuff the book is offering. Systems not goals people, systems not goals :)
At the 7-minute Mark I noticed two things about Peter. He has his arms folded and his facial expression is that of bewilderment if not repulsion. Fun so far.
Abortion isn't just about women. Its about their partners, husbands etc.. its about the unborn child too etc. Just because your baby is your house doesn't mean you get to kill it because its your house..
Kingfillins learn the difference between a husband and a boyfriend and vice versa. Until a man walks a woman down the isle, both of you are just auditioning. Any sex going on between two people that are not married is called Russian Roulette. If you don't want to be involved in an abortion mess, then learn to either abstain from sex till you are married or get surgically fixed.
Snarkyboots, birth control and abortion have no real comparison because life (scientifically speaking) begins at conception. Birth control merely prevents conception. Abortion kills a genetically unique human organism.
That's a good interview, the interviewer managed to avoid showing any kind of political bias and that is a rarity these days. Btw, if anyone is wondering about how real this is about Scott Adams - he's the real deal. He was calling balls and strikes when it mattered during the 2016 campaign and getting them all right. You may or may not like Donald Trump, but Scott Adams understands the phenomenon of Trump.
You can do that with abortion only if one thing happens - women take full responsibility and don't require men to pay them for it or be responsible for the child if they decide to keep it. If someone makes all decisions, they have all responsibility.
I see where Scott is going with the born selfish, die and give it all away idea, but I see it a different way because I'm a rational egoist. We learn to help others as we grow older, but that's self-serving too. I FEEL GOOD when I help others. I help others because "I" want to help others. Helping others serves the self and makes me feel good. Otherwise it's a resentful duty that causes neurosis, like collectivism.
Forget his stance on abortion, this guy is 'loose like goose', one of those "wherever the wind blows" kinda people. he's a great observer of people and has great understanding of the human "condition" as i call it but people like him running for president would be a disaster
Men were given (actually had the role forced upon them) the leadership of the family OVER the woman whether the women or Soy Boys like it or not. God said it. That's it.
Women should be allowed to have a biological abortion, and men should be allowed to do a financial abortion. Both should have the option to avoid the consequence of sexual behavior.
Only if the abortion financially is early in the pregnancy as it would be unfair to women to carry a fetus for any period of time if the make were unwilling but not forthright beforehand or very early on. Beforehand would be responsible!
I see that a financial abortion from a male is a logical consequence of a biological abortion for a female. If one is okay then the other should be okay. I would tend to argue the other way, though--since a financial abortion is not okay, a biological abortion is also not okay. (Of course there are other reasons that a biological abortion is not okay....)
thank you. exactly. If you want a kid and your partner doesnt and you have abortion as an option then its ultimately your decision and your responsibility not his.
Peter Robinson is one of the finest interviewers I have ever witnessed. What an excellent job he does. Great man.

I adore Scott Adams, his thinking fascinates me and this is an excellent conversation that portrays his unique thinking. Thank you for this upload.
I believe that history will look back on Scott Adams as one of the great[est] minds of this time.

Around 39min in, reference to "could be riots in the streets"... listening right now, 3 years after this interview and here they are. Riots. Bizarre.

You can do that with abortion only if one thing happens - women take full responsibility and don't require men to pay them for it or be responsible for the child if they decide to keep it. If someone makes all decisions, they have all responsibility.
