"Imagine this. Imagine you went to sleep, and when you went to sleep you were the moral authority of the country. You were the good guys!

"Not only were you the good moral ethical authority of the country, because you’re a good Democrat -- unlike those terrible, terrible, MAGA people -- but you are also in the majority. So, you are the good people, and you are in the majority.

"And then you wake up, and you find you’re not in the majority, and there was a good reason for it: you weren’t the good people, after all. Because you were the ones pushing the wokeness and the lies.

"And then you watched your leaders -- the same leaders who told you that if Trump became elected, he would be Hitler, like actually, literally, like Hitler; he would round up people in camps and all this -- and then, one minute after the polls called the winner, those same Democrats, who told you with serious faces, you’re all going to be rounded up, they all said: 'Well, peaceful transfer of power. I guess the system worked. Better luck next time.'

"And then tens of millions of Democrats said: 'Wait a minute! How do you square that? How does peaceful transfer of power ever hook up with: "We’re electing Hitler?"'

"That’s the wrong answer. If he’s really Hitler, you should not be bragging about a peaceful transfer of power. You should be talking about your underground resistance, which will try to, you know, kill him as soon as they can!

"Now, of course, I’m against that. No violence, please. But the point is, at least that would be consistent! If the things you told your own people were anywhere near true, you should not be rolling over and accepting this new 'Dictator for a Day!'

"So, I think that the spell maybe got broken. . . . [T]hink about how important winning the actual total vote was, not just the electoral vote. Being the majority, by like a solid five million or whatever it is now, changes everything! You can no longer see yourself as the safe, reasonable people who are trying to protect the world from these 'weirdos' who have weird opinions. It turns out that the 'weirdos' were the majority. . . .

"Imagine you’re a Democrat and you supported Biden, and you especially supported him because he ran on the 'Fine People Story,' which was a hoax. But if you didn’t know it, you thought: 'My God, I can’t have Trump in charge. He called neo-Nazis fine people!'

"Now, Biden said it, said that Trump said it, but of course it never happened. He said the opposite; he disavowed them. And, so Biden runs for office because he’s running against Hitler, and then it’s the moment Hitler gets elected, here’s Biden: 'It’s a good day. Oh, you know, peaceful transfer of power! How you doing? Hey, you in the front!'

"Is that the way you act when Hitler comes to power? It is so obvious -- and it has to be obvious to the Democrats themselves -- that their leadership was not just lying, but it was the Big Lie. Yeah, the very thing that they were accusing Trump of. The Big Lie was that Trump’s Hitler. And they backed off of the lie the very minute they had to become consistent with their idea of a peaceful transfer of power."

"I think we need a reframe. . . . It's not about policies or character. It's about brainwashing. . . .

"The pro-Democrat part of the country woke up to find out they're not the majority. Imagine waking up to that. . . .

"[I]magine waking up and realizing that polling is not real, you’re not in the majority, and that the majority of the people didn’t believe any of the hoaxes about Trump.

"Imagine waking up into that reality, where you thought the news was real, you thought the polls were legitimate, and you thought Trump was a monster that everybody could see clearly.

"And then you wake up and you find out the majority don’t see him as a monster -- they prefer him.

"That’s gotta be really a mind fuck! I mean, there must be people who just don’t even know, like, what reality they’re in when they wake up. And the problem is that they’ve been in a hoaxocracy . . . ."

DEEP THOUGHTS from @ScottAdamsSays and @Naval on Singularity Theory and the nature of consciousness.

Naval: I try not to go too much in the supernatural, but I'll be honest, there are times when I've prayed. (Ha, ha, ha, ha.)

Scott: Can't hurt!

Naval: Nobody's perfect! Yeah, exactly. Pascal's wager, right? Just in case!

Scott: Yeah, I've got a version of this. I don't know if I've ever said this out loud before, but every now and then I just talk to the creators of The Simulation that are watching me -- because it might be me . . . .

Naval: Yeah, exactly! No, I completely agree. Yes, if simulation hypothesis is true, then, you know, God or creator or master programmer has your best interest at heart.

Scott: I say things like, you know: "Is this the plan? I mean, are you really going to do this thing?"

Naval: Exactly. Exactly. No, yeah. Like, “don't take me out of the game too fast.” Like, “you need some resource if you want me to be effective, right?” Or like, “I'm not Job. Don't try me. I'll fail.” (Ha, ha, ha, ha.) “Let's not go through. Let's not take that route. Let's try a different one.”

Yeah, I think everybody does that. Because at the end of the day, existence itself is an unexplained miracle! Like how did we get here? Why am I here? Why am I a monkey? Why am I three dimensional? Why am I male?

Why am I talking to you right now? What does it even mean to talk, right? The whole thing is so surreal that there is an instantaneous and overarching miracle of just consciousness. Like why even be conscious?

Why not just be like zombies or robots talking to each other, going through the same actions? Why even be aware? So, there's so much here that you just have to take axiomatically -- and that is spirituality. And I think your spirituality, your current religion, is a Simulation Hypothesis. It's perfectly valid, you know.

Mine is probably closer to the Tao and, you know, other people's Christianity or whatever, but somehow, you have to explain this miracle of existence. And everyone has to do it in their own frame.

But the rest is science, right? The rest is all -- follows the rules of science. And so, what I don't like is when like someone says: “This one, I'm correct, it's scientific, you should believe it because of these following arguments.” And then I'm like: “Okay, well, what are the implications? How do we test it?” If you want me to believe in the real world, it has to be scientific, which means it has to be testable.

There's a third category that I will accept, which is direct experience, but it's only valid for you. So, if you have a direct experience of something, you can hold it, but your ability to convey it is zero, because everybody has their own experience and you can't take anybody else's experience at value.

Scott: I'll give you that. I'm gonna give you that my personal experience is so bizarre that -- I mean, it's not, I don't think it's quite Elon Musk level, but I mean, you've got your own life that's kind of, doesn't match.

Naval: Yeah, very surreal. Yeah.

Scott: I mean, how do the three of us exist? Is this really – like, there's so many things in my life that happened, and I'm sure you have the same feeling, where you just say, how is this real? I mean, just how is this real?

Naval: If you want to talk absolute truth, and nothing else, the only statement that you can make that is absolutely true is that – what’s that? Go ahead.

Scott: I know where this is going.

Naval: Sorry. What's yours?

Scott: It's that we exist. To ask the question. That's the only thing you know.

Naval: It's actually even worse than that! (Ha, ha, ha, ha.) I used to say it was I exist and then a very smart friend of mine corrected me and he said, no, awareness exists. You don't even know that you exist. Your thought, like yes, your current thought exists and you're aware of that current thought, but what is the you that is having that thought?

That's the whole Buddhist question, the whole enlightenment question. Is there a persistent self-identity other than just thoughts that are referring to each other? Like when you look for yourself, you're not actually there. There's an awareness. The awareness exists, but the you separate from that awareness, does that even exist?

"I’m really looking forward to the peaceful transfer of power. Aren’t you? Because while Trump was teaching half of the country how to win, the Democrats were teaching us how to lose. . . .

"I think we might be seeing the total collapse of the Democrat Party. . . .

"The reason that Hitler got elected is that there was never a Hitler. . . . That was purely something that somebody was saying. . . . [T]hey fill the world with hoaxes, and then they wonder why we didn't fall for them. . . .

"If it makes you feel any better, I feel Trump’s going to win.

"I do feel that the cheat is in. I do feel that there will be attempted cheats in individual places. And I think they’ll get caught. And there might be that it’s too big to cheat anyway.

"So we could get everything we want, which is Trump as President, Harris off of the stage -- and, maybe, a very good argument that 2020 was also corrupt. Because if we catch some big ones this time, it’s gonna be really hard to argue that last time it was clean . . . .

"Well, Naval Ravikant has weighed in in a way that I think is the most clear endorsement. And let me read it to you. He says:

'Leaders come and leaders go, but don’t change the rules of the game.

'Censorship is changing the rules of the game.

'Lawfare is changing the rules of the game.

'Importing voters is changing the rules of the game.

'Time to change the people who are changing the rules of the game.'

"Now, is that just the best summary you’ve ever heard?

"Yes! The country can stay unified if we play by the same rules, and somebody wins by those rules, and somebody loses by those rules. Under those conditions we are a healthy enough country that we can say:
‘Damn it! I’ll get you next time.’ And then we just do the best we can.

"We’re in a whole different world now. The Democrats have done the Kobayashi Maru. They’re just cheating! They’re just changing the rules. Whoever wins this time might be the result of whoever changed the rules the best, because that’s probably what happened last time.

And this warning from Naval -- this comes as close as you can get to an endorsement for Trump. Which is phenomenal, in and of itself. I mean, if you don’t know who Naval is, he’s not political. And for him to become political -- at tremendous personal risk -- is a big deal. It’s a big deal! There is bravery popping up all over the place. This is one example. . . .

Today will be one of the most important days in American history. I do buy in fully to the idea that the Founders have returned. It feels like almost reincarnation.

It could be that what’s going on is that there’s a certain spirit, that has to return in order to fix things. And it could be that that spirit, which happened once in 1776 -- it feels like it’s back. Not the same people, but you can almost map the characters of the Founders, you can almost map them to a lot of the people who are in the public now.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Elon Musk, RFK Jr., Tulsi, Ackman, me (ha, ha, ha), Naval -- Naval just joined the team! Are you kidding me? So, I feel very strongly that the corrective spirit -- you could call it God, you could call it The Simulation, you could call it Karma, you could call it Justice, you could call it Right or Wrong.

But it sure feels like it’s coming.

"Obama dusted off the Fine People Hoax again yesterday. Can you believe that? The most debunked hoax in American history, and the ex-President is using it on the eve of the election. . . .

"Based on him pushing the Fine People Hoax on the eve of the election, I would say I erase -- I take back -- every good thing I ever thought about that fucking asshole. I think he’s a piece of shit, now. I think doing this to the country is absolutely . . . it’s close to criminal. . . .

"So, I would say that the Obamas are now in the shithole shame factory of America. There’s nothing good about them, and Michelle Obama probably has a cock.

"I don’t think that’s true, but if he’s going to do the Fine People Hoax, I’m going to go with Michelle has a cock!! And I’m going to say it every time he says the Fine People Hoax, because:

MICHELLE OBAMA HAS A COCK! . . . ."

"Do you think that state actors couldn’t rig our machines and get away with it without us knowing? It’s almost insane or something to imagine that saying that we can’t be sure who won is somehow a lie! . . .

"But Ian Bremmer pointed me toward a podcast that he had with a woman who apparently is in charge of making sure that our elections are fair and free. And she works for a group called CISA. . . .

"So, I’m supposed to believe that the elections are secure because I’m listening to a manager, not an engineer who could actually know what’s going on -- I’m talking to a manager who would get fired if you said the opposite! ('Well, I suppose that’s true, I would get fired!')

"And that was the best evidence we have that our elections are fair and fairly secure. It was hilariously pointy-haired-boss, Dilbert territory kind of stuff. You would have to have no experience in the real world to believe that the CISA people had secured the elections. . . .

"What a joke. CISA? are you kidding me? That’s who I’m going to trust? Are you fucking kidding me? That’s who I’m supposed to trust?"

"[T]he real story was Raskin on Bill Maher saying he . . . wouldn't certify the election! I mean, this is a guy who ran Jan. 6th! . . . And that was the question that they were posing to every Republican!

"You know: 'Are you gonna certify the election? Are you gonna accept the election?'

"No, you’re gonna wanna make sure it’s fair! And everybody was pulling their hair out!

"Raskin says the same thing and no one says . . . crap!"

"[O]n Bill Maher’s show, on HBO, . . . Jamie Raskin was asked if he would accept a Trump win, and he said he would only if it’s a free and fair election. So basically, he took the same approach as Trump, and the same approach that he led the impeachment of Trump for.

"So in public, with complete clarity, the person who led the impeachment against Trump, for doubting an election, says he would do the same thing in the same situation. And plans to!

"So he’ll accept it if it looks good -- and I think Trump would of too -- and he’ll reject it if it looks obviously rigged, which of course he should! As anybody should.

"And, how in the world are we just sitting there and watching that happen? How in the world is that not the biggest story in the country? It’s because the Democrats control the media! . . .

"[H]ow much bigger of a story could it be, than the person who led the impeachment says in public, as clear as day, that he’d do the same thing? . . . He says it clearly, that under the same situation that he believed, as Trump believed, the election was rigged, that he’d do the same thing.

"There is no bigger story in the country and it won’t even be covered. But Jonathan Turley, he’s independent, so he can cover it. I can mention it because I’m independent. Joel Pollack can mention it because Breitbart covers the actual news. So, the only place you’ll even see this story is a place where no Democrat ever dares go."

"That dog is not barking."

"How many of you noticed, before I just brought it up, that nobody had ever had an election expert on, to answer questions and explain how any kind of fraud that was significant would be instantly caught?

"Did any of you even think of it? That’s how you know you’re brainwashed. Even if you think you’re immune from it -- none of us are immune. I’m not immune -- definitely not immune. Nobody’s immune.

"If you had not once considered that no expert has ever come on any show you’ve ever seen, ever, to say that this system is secure – and you never noticed? That’s brainwashing! How could you not notice that?! Right? How did I not notice it? How did I not notice it until recently? Seriously, how did I not notice that?

"There’s only one way. I’m brainwashed. There can’t be any other explanation. Because, common sense, it would be the first fucking thing you would bring up! The first thing! Was, can I see to, can I talk to an expert? To see if there’s any vulnerabilities here? Not once! Not once. Unbelievable."

“All right, here now, my 2024 election prediction. . . . I predict a landslide of election-rigging claims. . . .

"I predict that Trump will get most of the real votes, but Democrats will empty the trickster vault to keep him from being certified and taking office on schedule. . . .

"I predict that massive voter fraud will be discovered, and it will confirm in the minds of the public that Trump was probably right about 2020 being rigged. . . .

“So I think Trump will take office, and I think the golden age will begin, but not without a fight. Now, when I say 'fight,' I do not mean physical. I believe that we’ve got several weeks of some real serious legal maneuvering."
