We are F'd | Elon Musk Agrees.

hey everyone we kevin here our society

is aft in this video i'm going to

provide you as a loyal subscriber a

resource that you could use this video

is not sponsored by that resource it is

simply a website that i think you're

really going to like and am doing it for

the good of hopefully preventing our

society from getting effed with bad miss

or disinformation

see in the world of the internet we can

all lash out our frustrations at anyone

and comment on whatever we want most of

the time for the goal of popularity

consider this in politics if you want to

be a leftist superstar all you have to

do is tweet regularly that student debt

should be canceled very popular that we

should defund the police and that we

should raise the minimum wage if you

want to be a right-wing superstar tweet

about how much you hate looters and

sometimes even blm or how much you

demand freedom to choose and the freedom

to throw your mask away because in

today's world the middle doesn't get you

anything but hate from both sides you

can't actually take the things on both

the right and the left and say wait a

minute there are good things from both

sides and there's actually a truth in

the middle so you remember there are

always three versions of every story

there's one person's story there's the

other person's story and then there's

the truth talking about the truth can be

very very difficult because unless you

are echoing the chamber talk of the left

or echoing the chamber talk of the right

everyone hates you and it sucks look at

what elon musk just said on twitter

which is really interesting because elon

musk is echoing one of the issues that

we have wikipedia is an organization

that seems to be heavily influenced by

left-leaning editors and this is where

elon musk writes history is written by

the victors except on wikipedia as your

enemies are still alive and have lots of

time on their hands a laughing emoji

this by the way is something that i

retweeted because guess what i had the

same issue during my campaign when i ran

against the california governor where

verified wikipedia editors took out of

context information that i was

suggesting would be a fantastic policy a

policy and used it to slander me which

unfortunately gave a lot of folks a bad

first impression of me uh in in the

campaign because they would google my

name wikipedia article would come up

people would read one or two lines

that's it game over nasty world out

there but wait a minute this is not just

a video to complain this is a video to

make sure that i can actually help

provide you value so we've got to

understand a couple things first

there are two major issues that we have

in our world today and then i'm going to

provide you this solution remember this

video by the way is not sponsored by the

solution this video is sponsored by my

programs on building your wealth which

has a coupon code expiring tomorrow

which means the price goes up after that

you get lifetime access and if you check

out the stocks and psychology of money

group you will get all of my buy sell

alerts for anything that i buy check

that out down below but here's the thing

we've got two major issues number one

censorship and believe me i know a lot

about censorship i was censored by

twitter instagram facebook cnn i even

had to send a cease and desist letter to

cnn for censoring my campaign

and

and then they finally u-turned which was

clearly a sign that they're like oh yeah

okay we were kind of censoring you and

now you're exposing us anyway uh and

number two there's a major lack of

understanding in our society about how

to actually make an argument see when we

hear the word argument usually we

believe that just means shouting the

loudest thing or saying the most popular

thing therefore whoever's the most

popular is obviously winning the

argument however this is actually not

what arguing is arguing follows a very

simple formula you state a claim and

then you state a fact with citations and

then you make a conclusion that is how

you make an argument so for example if

somebody made an argument that hey

i believe that kevin was born in germany

i believe that because here is a link

that shows in an interview he says he

was born in germany therefore kevin was

born in germany that is a very well

structured argument because now somebody

understands the claim i think kevin was

born in germany and number two the

citation oh okay i can fact check that

citation and see if that is an accurate

claim and therefore conclusion that is

good solid argumentation

versus something that's bad

argumentation would be something like

kevin's born in germany therefore he's a

nazi

okay we're not even gonna go down that

rabbit hole obviously i'm not but this

video is not about that it just shows

you the difference between

good argumentation and not argumentation

just it's not even bad argumentation

it's just not argumentation it's just

shouting it's just claiming it's it's

being kind of an internet troll

basically

now why am i making this video and then

what is the resource that i want to give

to you so i made a video yesterday

providing my research and my thoughts on

a doctor who went on a joe rogan episode

whom in my opinion was giving somewhat

exaggerated claims some things i agreed

with and some things were just not very

well founded in fact the way he was

implying they were now i lost over 200

subscribers in five hours which means

usually i post a video i gain

subscribers so i the opportunity cost

was probably even greater and 99 of the

hateful comments followed the following

structure

what at first glance they argued that i

can't trust the guy with pink hair okay

this is not an argument this is just a

random claim that obviously my intellect

is somehow affected by

the color of my hair at second glance

they say why trust a youtuber over a

doctor okay so this uh implies this

makes the the claim that a doctor

somebody who's simply a doctor is

somehow either more researched more

honest or uh more more ultimately

truthful in the information and

citations they're providing than

somebody else which could be anyone else

because i believe that youtubers are

just normal people uh now of course

there are doctors who are also youtubers

but just because you're not a doctor and

somebody else is a doctor does not mean

that that doctor has better information

than you that is a logical fallacy

that's known as an appeal to authority

oh well that person's a doctor so they

must be right no society doesn't work

that way

at third glance individuals looked at

the citations that i put in the uh in

the description rather than actually

watching the video they did a quick look

at the citations and they saw a citation

like reuters which is a highly factual

newswire publication they're they're

pretty good they're not always right but

at least when you do media fact check

biases reuters and and uh the associated

press they're pretty up there now i know

that the new york times has a left

leaning tilt the wall street journal is

kind of a little bit on the right a

little bit more but sometimes they can

also lean a little to the left it just

kind of depends on the day but anyway

the newswire service is pretty good and

then there are comments like this folks

let's break this one down because this

is just insane but it must be right

because it has 73 upvotes oh it's

popular with the like button so

obviously it must be right right

wrong this is not how to determine

whether something is factual listen to

this that's the exact problem with the

current state of society says this

commentary people who have no clue about

the topic and get all their education

from google search end up becoming fact

checkers okay interesting so this person

makes three claims in this uh a one

quickly thrown together argument the

first claim they make is kevin must have

no

clue what evidence did they provide to

suggest that i have no clue they didn't

provide any evidence that means they

didn't actually make an argument they

just shouted nonsense okay then they

made a claim that i get all my

information from google search which is

not true in fact i'm about to give you a

resource that shows that but they didn't

provide any evidence that i used to

google rather than other sources

and on top of that they're making the

claim that using google oh my gosh how

dare you do your research on google

they're making the claim that if you do

your research on google you

will be wrong no matter what you find it

will be wrong

okay that's interesting

now the argument here goes into the

censorship world that misinformation

maybe gets gets uh censored on google

searches fine now don't use google if

you believe that and that's fine and

maybe use different web browsers or use

the resource that i'm about to show you

but again making this claim without

evidence that wait a minute where's your

citation that google is censoring other

than just anecdotal well i think they

are where's the citation or where's the

citation that i actually use google

and then their conclusion this is really

their conclusion it's not a third claim

that's the problem with society is their

conclusion so they make these two claims

without evidence

and then try to suggest that okay this

is the problem with society well no

actually the real problem with society

is

not arguing properly again i made this

very clear you make a claim

then you provide a fact or citation then

you draw a conclusion that is proper

argumentation but if you make a claim

with no evidence and no fact other than

just

likes

you're ruining society that's basically

what you're doing you're ruining society

but it's not just people like this folks

i mean there were hundreds of

nonsensical comments again about the

color of the hair or look at stuff like

this this is interesting citations are

pointless when there are no citations

for the citations okay well this isn't

true because the point of a citation is

that you can go to a source and then

evaluate where that person got their

source from are they a primary source or

a secondary source

unfortunately a lot of this stuff just

wasn't taught in our schools so i can't

blame everyone but a lot of this is just

complete and other nonsense here's

another one kevin your argument's

reaching and you can feel the emotion in

your tone this isn't non-biased get out

of california because it's causing harm

to you okay so listen to this this

argumentation that this

pseudo-argumentation we have here

one kevin your arguments are reaching

okay so that's a claim claim number one

kevin your arguments or research are

reaching where's the fact where's the

citation which of my arguments was

reaching

okay so the first part is not an

argument it's just spewing

no

evidence that my arguments were reaching

none at all therefore you're spewing

i can feel the emotion in your tone

what does that even mean

like

who cares so you can't be passionate in

a video you're making a claim that you

must be wrong because there's emotion in

your tone

there's a motion in my tone now because

you're an idiot

this isn't non-biased okay where's your

fact provide something hey kevin you

said this i disagree with what you said

because of this and here's my citation

therefore i think you're wrong that

would be an argument this is a dumb

unfounded claim oh and then this is just

the icing on the cake quote get out of

california because it's causing harm to

you okay so the claim is that california

is harming me and that therefore i'm

somehow broken but again no evidence

that either a i'm being harmed or b it's

california that's causing that harm

don't get me wrong i hate california's

government okay california's government

sucks and california's government sucks

for all of the reasons that i outlined

with facts and statistics in my campaign

which i'm not going to rehash all of

that here so yeah i'm making a claim

without providing all those facts here

because that's really not important for

this video and i'm not going to waste

your time i ran an entire campaign on

this stuff

but folks

what can we do

to minimize the nonsense

well i personally recommend deepdive.com

this is not sponsored i know this is

going to sound like a sponsorship but i

promise you it's not sponsored you sign

up here i'm not even going to put a link

down below because i don't want you to

think that like somehow links are being

tracked or whatever i'm not getting paid

by them i don't get any benefit from you

using this resource at all i just use it

and i think it's really good so the cool

thing about this website is basically

they let you

search for really whatever you want uh

on here and so you once you sign up you

get to sort of log in here and then you

could learn from phds or resource

researchers about a lot of different

topics uh and what they do is they

basically give you access to like

hundreds i think of different like

publication websites so you could sign

up for a trial on deepdive.com i think

it's a little expensive on an annual

basis it's like 500.

but try the free trial and see if it's

worth it sometimes that 50 60 bucks a

month could be worth it for you uh a lot

of this is more medical focused but i've

even found some really good pieces on uh

doctoral researchers uh doing uh pieces

on inflation and what countries can do

uh to to potentially solve inflation how

bad is inflation really going to be

let's try another one we'll try another

one here totally raw i'm just going to

throw in tesla here i don't know i've

never tried searching for tesla i always

like typing in or clicking the button

here for more recent so i'll go since uh

2021 here

uh so

uh

let's see here uh let's see so we've got

tesla here we've got

uh competition and valuation for look at

that competition and valuation a case

study for tesla motors and so usually

you'd have to like buy these sorts of

pdfs and research papers but here you've

got research from the university of

illinois

about the valuation of

tesla the economics of teslas the

batteries the autonomous driving uh the

valuation of tesla i mean this is this

is pretty cool now you don't necessarily

have to agree with it but the point is

you get access to this higher level kind

of content so if i want to do a medical

research video

and somebody's like hey kevin well

hydroxychloroquine works just look at

this piece of this paper here and then i

look at it and i'm like okay it's not

peer-reviewed and there are no results

of the study published yet that's not

ideal or somebody's like no no no

hydroxychloroquine works click on this

link and it's like okay this is a mini

review of like 10 different studies

not a study itself now if somebody's

like hey kevin here's a a review here's

an actual study rather that's peer

reviewed and shows that hydroxychloric

and works when you use it with zinc

prior to hospitalization great then

that's freaking awesome

maybe that is true now we can have an

argumentation right now we can actually

have a real debate a real debate follows

hey

i believe let's just say i'm gonna why

would i say i because i don't want to

get chastised again okay because it's

not necessarily let's just say person a

says hydroxychloroquine doesn't work to

prevent coven person two says well

i understand that you might think

hydroxychloroquine doesn't work to solve

covid but here's a claim the claim is

hydroxychloroquine

used in combination with zinc prior to

hospitalization actually does reduce

covet symptoms and covet severity in

fact here's the citation to a

peer-reviewed study with you know

hundreds of trial participants or

whatever that shows that this is indeed

the case therefore conclusion is yes in

some cases hydroxychloroquine may not

work but if you use it in this manner

early enough it could work notice how

that is like oh

logic oh my gosh

it's so beautiful

but do you think that is actually

popular on twitter or in politics or in

social media hell no
