Who else came here because of Akira the Don? 🤚

I watched this video when you first published it and I remember wondering if it would be one of the people for whom it would be life changing, like you said. I'm back to say that I was! A few months after watching it I fully realized that all my hard work wasn't getting me anywhere and never would. I began authoring my new reality by trusting and expecting that I would get everything I wanted from the universe and I did. It has been a gradual process of undoing all my old patterns of thinking but I'm to the point now where I can see how everything in my life has been pure fiction, completely made up by me. So happy that nightmare is over. Thank you for my new life where everything is beautiful and interesting and fun and also completely made up by me! 😂

I'm not sure I should be this powerful...

I refuse to participate in an alternate reality that would simulate someone like me.

If I had a chick like Scott’s, I would wake up every morning going “bom bom bom” too 😂

I follow Scott Adams mainly because I've heard him say a lot of things that I've discovered on my own. He's given me a few new ways to think about things. I don't always agree with him but what he says is usually worth considering.

I have experienced all this before and was able to greatly (Bigly?) change my life for the better. However, I allowed myself to lapse into an inertia of contentedness ( I put the 'Pro' in procrastination). I have been using my somewhat advanced age as an excuse for not attempting massive change. I enjoy your podcasts but am not a "regular" yet I serendipitously found myself here today after similarly watching another KZfaq video last night on manifestation etc. Never let it be said I couldn't take a hint. I am now using all this to set a new and sufficiently outrageous goal for myself that I will apply your proscribed methods to accomplish. I will keep you apprised of my progress.

It is true: facts don't matter ... to most people most of the time. HOWEVER: Building an Epistemology based on this is self-defeating, logically. But then again, who is rich and engaged to a hot girl? Not me.

In an earlier podcast you talked about how would Georgia do as the first state to go back to normal. Evidently very good !

Thank you very much Scott , This proves that we have won and now at last we can heal and enjoy life.

Keep being awesome. From Somalia.

The Simulation Theory has no say about our origins. To do so, it would have to answer the question: how did the FIRST programmers come about? Scott's theory is an infinite regression.

What is it with this obsession of being happy, let’s face it...the majority of life is NOT being in a state of happiness, but rather delaying gratification through hard work and suffering interspersed with moments of happiness.

The most important lesson you have ever offered us, the user interface is our master interface.

Anecdote related to Norman Vincent Peale: Adlai Stevenson was to speak a Baptist convention in Texas during the 1952 Presidential campaign. In his introduction the host had said that Stevenson had been asked to speak "just as a courtesy, because Dr. Norman Vincent Peale has already instructed us to vote for your opponent." Stevenson opened with this: "Well, speaking as a Christian, I would like to say that I find the Apostle Paul appealing and the Apostle Peale appalling." 😁

Scott is a typical example of survival bias. Most guys dream of making it big, most girls dreams of being a princess. For 0.01% something like that happen, for the rest it dont.

That was a powerful talk on reality!! Thank you for sharing it with us. It's very useful information.

This reminds me of teachings of Ernest Holmes, who said "change your thinking, change your life" and founded the Church of Religious Science which incorporates "practitioners" who frame things around affirmations (see You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay, a Religious Science minister).

How does this only have 35k views after 3 years?

From 31 minutes on its pure hypnotism

We are the authors of our Reality. Great practical advice.

Scott, please consider a conversation with Lex Fridman. It would be interesting to see where that would go.

Thanks, my friend.

Useful. Thanks, Scott.

In Christian theology, the simulation theory roughly corresponds to incarnationalism, that one is the living embodiment of Christ, a representation, though with it an added ex opera operato in Catholic terms, benefits to the Office-holder; thus rooted as early as St Augustine after the Donatist controversy. Rene Descartes "I think therefore I am" and the mind/body dualism also plumbs these depths. Catholic theology surrounding the sacraments comes from Aquinas (nee Aristotle), very interesting parallel - are simulation theorists Thomists?

Excellent, Scott...Thank you! It's interesting to observe people extracting themselves from the matrix!

See how Scott lulled you into false sense of security, and then hit you with the dreaded white board. This man takes no prisoners.

One of your best yet Scott! Thank you 👍

Wow this was a really insightful video. I’m inspired.

More videos like this one please!

After listing to this I can see that lawyers alter reality every day.

As I look back over my life, I think I have seen glimpses of this theory. Thank you for this video.

Thank you teacher!

Thank you. I agree. This mirrors my own experiences.

This is great! Currently working on affirmations to win the lottery!

480p in 2021? Well content is king :D

Thank you sir

The timing was impeccable

Re: all things are related to mating. One of the reasons I loved the ancient philosophers of Greece. Was that they saw aging as the freedom from sexual desires. If age does bring tranquility from desire, I think it would lead to a serenity of the mind. And.... The ability to think more clearly about these topics. In our current culture, I'm not sure if that seperation is possible. But the point still stands, if we can separate desire from mindfulness, we're better off...

Thank you, absolutely fantastic. Finally I will finish loser think your book that I got from my son.

Thank you. I agree based on my own experiences in this area.

Thank you Scott

Thank you Scott!

Awesome. You are most certainly on the LHP ;-) Great Stuff!

Thanks "Avatar"... Enjoyed the blanket reference.

Scott: Most people who have studied the Bible (new testament included) can well see what you saying and probably have known all along what you are telling us. You have discovered it through another path. You are a very smart person.

Scott, read Tom Wolfe's Bonfire of the Vanities and you'll see he also had the right answers in the 70's

Well done. Enjoyed entirely.

As an atheist growing up in a deeply religious country I totally get the two movies playing simultaneously theory.

Excellent!

Saving this video for reference

The idea of filters on reality is at least 2000 years old. The Indian text “Yoga Sutras” mentions how people filter reality based on their experiences. Interesting video. Thx

Scott, Scott, Scott, This is the only warning you'll get. If you don't write this book, I will. Thanks in Advance.

Maybe in one of these Scott could give us homework/experiment for all of us to conduct testing his user interface. A simple experiment to conduct in our lives.

AWESOME!

The desire to control others and the action thereof has surprisingly negative personal results. Control of your own personal being is beneficial. Power over others for your own benefit brings woe.

Pattern recognition is how we survive, if you touch a flame or a hot stove it physically burns you, if you see a large dog loose you avoid it because it can attack you, the real danger is failure to recognize patterns in life and deny them.

Scott's success is very easily explained: he says and does nothing that conflicts with the interests of the sovereign

23 years.

I like Scott but much of his 'simulation' thinking is just rebranded new age... Look it up.. Or just replace simulation with astral dimension

What's the likelihood of getting slapped in the face with a glove by three Elbonians in a row, on separate occasions?

WOW!!! Incredible. Can you dive deeper into these concepts? Visualization, for instance.

Thank you sir for the valuable content you grant us the privilege to see first hand I sincerely hope that you do more of your tutorial type of videos as a training tool to hack life. Your avid follower from Morocco

Too many things to remember. I'm just going to keep doing the things I've been doing.

Fantastic! I love your "How to Fail..." book too!

Buy my book

We had lake effect snow from Lake Erie in Northern Pa for two days, nothing stuck but it was interesting when the winds howled...it calls for a swaddle at 11:45 EST

Scott, reading your books, you use the Bibles truths. Speaking out what you want to see happen is a big one. God spoke the creation into being. We were created in His image and likeness. We are the ones who speak words. Norman Vincent Peal taught that very thing. "You shall have what you say". In many ways we do create our own reality. As Christians, we speak out God's truths. I remember reading how often you said over and over, "I will speak again". God led you to do that.

Beliefs are your filters

I like to think of Scott Adams as the inventor of the simulation talking to us via his Avatar. This would explain a lot ;)

Congrats, Scott! It's 23 years; I was married in '97. For me the manual is the Seth Material of which the 3 books that stand out the most are: Seth Speaks The Nature of Personal Reality The Nature of the Psyche

In a less facetious comment I think it might be useful for you to read about Nietzsche and specifically the concept of an uberman. He did not really cover the 'tools' as you describe but the general mindset I think is more reminiscent of what he had to say. The idea that a man can carve their own path through a self created narrative which may lead them to take actions others could observe as questionable due to their inability to see the bigger picture, or failing to understand the individual's ideals.

this was very helpful. I really enjoy How To Fail At Everything And Still Win Big - it's piss funny and is excellent advice. Really excellent.

Wowie!

Yeah, ok. I got no problem with any of that. I know for sure that some of it works, against all odds.

Got a KZfaq or any link for that redpilledamerica podcast with Patrick?

Wowie II!

Scott combines nihilism and hedonism into a stoner's delight.

Fortunately, Scott Adams used reason and logic to develop his Interface For Reality.

"If the simulation is true, then what we believe about evolution probably isn't cause you don't need evolution if we have the simulation" That's just silly now. Evolution can happen within a simulation. The simulation hypothesis doesn't "debunk" the theory of evolution. The simulation is not a competing theory to the theory of evolution. Plus evolution is observable and reproducible in a laboratory. It's been proven.

Sweet

Your theory seems to be a slight differentiation of Panspermia. I find it also mostly compatible w Creationism

If we don't have access to a Base Reality, why are we watching you, Scott? Thank goodness that your vlogs help me access that base reality better every day, even as you deny its accessibility.

I haven't listened to referenced podcast, so maybe I missed something important? related to Darwinian evolution theory, but I fail to see what anything about authoring your own version of whatever paradigm you choose to use as a filter of whatever simulation theory you might buy into from time to time (including religions, Darwin, Nihilism, Determinism, Marxism, reincarnation, self-actualization...) has to do with Darwin. This Scott episode seems to be yet another in a series of self -congratulatory ego trips. That doesn't mean that there weren't some valuable lessons discussed.

Excellent job of thinking past the sale on evolution.

Definitely something in your audio setup that is causing random pops. It's consistent in all the videos in the last several days at least. Edit: Wasn't happening it in 959 but it was in 958. Not sure what setup you had in the drum room.

The prediction was not all that outlandish

The swaddle is back! YES :)

Pattern recognition plus really good data doesn't cause a simulation.

It's not true that people se totaly different reality by the same information. Some people only have the subset of Information. What also matters is what order you get the information. This is really a accepted psychological fact.

thanks scott

"I perceive, Ion; and I will proceed to explain to you what I imagine to be the reason of this..//...there is a divinity moving you, like that contained in the stone which Euripides calls a magnet, but which is commonly known as the stone of Heraclea. This stone not only attracts iron rings, but also imparts to them a similar power of attracting other rings; and sometimes you may see a number of pieces of iron and rings suspended from one another so as to form quite a long chain: and all of them derive their power of suspension from the original stone. In like manner the Muse first of all inspires men herself; and from these inspired persons a chain of other persons is suspended, who take the inspiration."

Pattern recognition is a violent tool of SCIENCE.

Very cool presentation. Heady stuff. Kind of like Max Stirner on shrooms.

21:25

Its a list

Basically it's subjective reality vs objective reality. You can't change objective reality but you can change subjective reality and by changing the subjective reality, you're able to change other people's(your own too) perceived realities. It works because most people aren't aware of any other reality than their own subjective one. You become god when you understand the big picture😋

I listened to that podcast. It was great but there was no scientist that discussed a new discovery that disproved evolution. Basically it was just a big discussion about the simulation theory, and how that *would* disprove evolution as we see it. In that sense I was disappointed. But I still highly recommend listening to the episode.

When I was a curious child I stumbled across a copy of The Dilbert Future and read it, somehow I convinced the family friend who owned it to give it to me. I've kept that book ever since and I'm glad it finally paid off. Ii'm also sorry Induhvidual never took off either. Or the Weasel "Ftt" with double V fingers across the face either. That would have been a good one.

The user interface....
