- Michael Malice (“YOUR WELCOME”) invites famed author, cartoonist, and creator of Dilbert, Scott Adams, onto the show to talk about how predictable human beings can be, how context is often ignored by cancel culture, and why his new book is a testament that you can recover from nearly anything, if you have the right frame of thinking.

@MichaelMaliceofficial 28:04 🤯🤯 this is a game changer!!! why did I not notice this before?!?
Michael, you just went so far up in my estimation I'm gonna need a space-X rocket to measure it!
I love President Trump and I can't stand people who have TDS but if someone can rationally and calmly articulate why they think Trump shouldn't get my support using common sense, facts, and logic, then I'm happy to listen and consider their point of view. But I haven't found much of that among people who are opposed to Trump. I tend to find that people who are opposed to Trump are doing exactly what the first several minutes of this interview describe. They're repeating disingenuous and fallacious talking points they've heard repeated over and over again without any awareness or independent thought or knowledge of that which they are so vehemently asserting. But I was also that way prior to mid 2018; before 2018 I was a never-Trumper who would engage in mindless pseudo debates with Trump supporters who I now in hindsight realize actually knew what they were talking about a lot more than I did. Now that I've spent well over ten-thousand hours researching and following politics, it's very frustrating for me when I talk to people who are Trump-deranged and who lack any foundation in objective reality for their automatic and emotionally distorted opinions. I always think to myself, "This person sounds exactly like I did five years ago". I would love to become more effective at reaching such people as well as safeguard myself from falling back into that kind of unconscious mental pattern. I think you always have to leave some room for doubt, remain skeptical and inquisitive, and above all perhaps, be humble. If I've been duped into supporting Trump when I should support someone else over him, I want to know it. Having had to eat humble pie after I realized my Trump-derangement was not based in logic, reality, independent critical thought & analysis or complete information and eventually coming to an almost 180 degree opposite point of view after spending countless hours researching and getting closer to the truth, I'm hoping I've learned my lesson and will always keep an open mind and not assume that I have all of the relevant information or that my beliefs, views, or opinions are infallible or should be rigidly adhered to even in the face of new information and evolving awareness and insight. Discernment is key and it requires constant maintenance and self reflection because the human psyche is often a twisting, morphing maze that can mislead even the most brilliant mind (and in fact I think it's the brilliant minds that are most prone to being swept away into oblivion by their superior intellect). That's why I love Christ and His words. I find that Spirit of truth trumps the human intellect of time. God bless.
I am so glad that Scott's cancellation backfired on them so bad that it ended up being a breaking of chains.
Seeing Michael and Scott together is like having the Munsters visit the Addams Family when I was a kid.
Yea. Yea. That's the ticket.
How about when Cannon was on the first episode of Barnaby Jones.
Framing:
A Dominican and a Jesuit were chain smokers. Both were eager to be allowed to smoke while performing their devotions, but needed to gain permission from a higher authority. ‘I tried asking the Prior, but he was dead against it,’ said the Dominican.
‘What did you ask, precisely?’ enquired the Jesuit.
‘Well, I asked him whether it was acceptable to smoke while I was praying.’
‘Wrong question,’ replied the Jesuit. ‘I asked my Abbot whether I could pray while I was smoking. Permission granted.’
That's a good Protestant joke. Thanks for sharing it.
@@boom-botz444 Actually, I think (?) that priests back in the day were allowed to smoke. All I know is that I was born in 1966 and I knew some priests who smoked cigarettes.
I love FBI statistics as much as the next man.

I'm a big fan of Scott Adams. He's the guy who you think is an a-hole at first but you really like him if not love the guy! when you get to know him. He's smart, and funny and cares about humanity. A real human hero of our times.
I’ve been listening to him for years. I don’t always agree with him but I always enjoy what he has to say.
Same with Michael.
In my experience, half the time a person starts off as an asshole they're actually nice, and most of the time someone is initially nice, they're really a fake asshole.
He got vaxed to fly international. It was his entire assessment. Then said it might help against long covid.
They don't talk about that.
@@cycloneaction2211What was the correct assessment?
With regards to political arguments... prior to 2016, whenever I tried to engage in political discussions the answer was almost always "I hate politics. It's so boring and all politicians are crooks. I just live my life and ignore it." Post Trump, these same people became political "experts" who could get up in your face about everything (they saw on TV).
Interestingly, the same group of people became virologists/epidemeologists after Covid.
I was exactly the opposite. I used to care. I used to follow it all carefully, knocked on doors for campaigns, and even ran for office myself. Now I know it’s no different from the WWE and my stress level has gone down significantly. 😂
“Interestingly, the same group of people became virologists/epidemiologists after Covid.”
Those armchair experts, whom labeled the coof “a pandemic of the unvaccinated,” also wanted to throw us into concentration camps, and/or prison.
You don't argue with people online to change their mind you do it so other's who aren't brainwashed have access to a dialogue...
We literally learn by studying arguments and watching debate.
Generally, yes. Once in a blue moon I've crossed paths with a stranger in YT Comments sections and we've persuaded each other to change our respective minds. To your other point, YES, observing others discussing/debating online has been a valuable tool for my personal growth. ( Once I scroll past cheapshots, insanely poor grammar, or strawmen arguments. )
I respond to comments so that other people see there’s another side to the story. The comments I respond to the most is those saying 2020 wasn’t rigged or about government in general. A few times I have even gone as far as copy/paste my resources.
However, I also wonder how much of comments are even real. AI bots have been around for about a decade now. I have no doubt that google has a trillion comments to piece together seemingly human speech. Google also has the perverse and proven corrupt reputation of artificially pumping up their own ad clicks. They settled in 2006 for $90 million for committing click fraud. Imagine how much more their system has evolved to steal now that it’s used by billions and has revenue in the, well, googol. It’s to their pressing desire to fake it all.
Am I real? Is dead internet theory more true than not?
@@machtnichtsseimannCheap shots, poor grammar and spelling, and strawman arguments are 99% of the Internet. I just have to remind myself there’s a good chance I’m looking at a comment made by someone in a mental institution or a 12-year-old child. Then I can go on my merry way. 😏
so happy you had maynard on the show.

I don’t segregate because of the color of their skin. I segregate because of the content of their character

"The highest art of war is to NOT fight at all.
Instead, subvert anything of value in your enemy's country - anything.
Pit white against black. Old against young. Rich against poor. Do everything you can to disturb the moral fibre of their nation.
Ultimately, motivate your enemy to fight with himself. To blow up his own bridges.
Then, finally, when their society has been completely demoralised, and then destabilised,
Then their crisis will come, and your victory will follow."
KGB defector, Yuri bezmenov
You have just described the tactics and goal of the US Oligarchic Uniparty
@@Dave-zb1zvIt's the tactics of mainstream media.
Sun Tzu :
Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy's troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.
With his forces intact he will dispute the mastery of the Empire, and thus, without losing a man, his triumph will be complete. This is the method of attacking by stratagem.
Those tactics won’t work in a homogeneous country.
Yuri Bezmenov never served in the KGB. He wasn't an agent either. Just an informer, just like virtually every other Soviet journalist who had been stationed in a foreign country for a while.
"Whoa, I just got respawned into a new video game" - I'm so admiring of Scott Adams' ability to adjust like this, it's little wonder he's so succesful.
my favorite part of the interview was definitely the "camus-flauge" joke
Always replace "administration" with "regime", irrespective of context.
More importantly, always replace "democracy" with "hegemony."
My favorite liberal and anarchist in one place.
Not only are both of these gentlemen relevant, they are both essential to the "conversation".
The nice thing about being a senior is that all the adults that knew shameful things about my youth are dead.
🤣🤣🤣😎👍🇺🇸
Damn, that's a solid point
Spot on. Nobody knows I'm still a virgin. I'm 45.
Kidding of course.
Funny how I have to clarify though 😂.
Old, or more precisely, young habits.
LOL
This comment gave me hope.
I had a similar experience to Scott’s robbery story. Had a student who was holding scissors up to my neck threatening to stab me. I reframed the conversation. he got confused, put the scissors down, and walked away,
Good thing it wasn’t a “streetperson”
Scott Adams confessed to being a troll. He said he posted his comments offensively. He is wise.
He is reaping the whirlwind as was his design. Adams does not give two sh#ts about anybody canceling him. I find it so funny when anger cancels itself out with laughter in its face.
Thank You Michael & Thank You Scott
Good conversation, you guys should do this once a year.
YES
Don't live near people who wish to do harm to you. I don't see why that is so controversial.
Because they keep moving into where we live.
@@jboss1073 They call it “White flight,” and we call it “Don’t want to get robbed, so I’m moving my family to the sticks.”
Love these guys. It does crack me up that the "author yourself" guy doesn't believe in free will, lol. You see the same thing with Sam Harris: he tells you there is no free will, then sells you on how you can alter your mind, meditate, etc. The irony is so palpable and yet I'm like alone in the universe for perceiving it
The free will debate is based on a failure of language. Each side argues dependant on what their chosen definition of 'free will' means.
1.What does 'free will' mean to you?
2. What do you think it means to those who say there is none?
I can appreciate that point. Obviously nobody is arguing for some kind of magic free will where I can just flap my arms and fly. It's a sorites problem and so we are talking matters of degree...sorta like language itself: you wouldn't say "humans don't have language" but, man, you run into a few that make you question that basic assumption lol @@MrArbaras
@@ArthursAtman Maybe some people have more free will than others. I don't see why it should be everyone or no one.
@@glassjester I agree with you that our human free will can be compromised (though not obliterated entirely) by factors like addiction, for instance.
You’re not alone; I notice this too! I’m wondering how Adams would explain, for instance, a person who is tortured and/or killed for refusing to say what his tormentors demanded he say? Seems like a massive exercise of a very powerful free will to me.
I used to think Tim Pool had the best guests on RUclips (since Rogan went to Spotify). Now I think it's Michael Malice.

@@brandnew4451 I was joking. I was making a joke😢
How does the "You are an unthinking irrational NPC" fit in with the "Your life is a blank canvas, author yourself as you want"? Are these in tension?
Scott has a well founded opinion about how we form opinions--Nietzsche said the same in the 1800s. He said the brain was an organ like any other, there to help us survive, and thus it finds ways to rationalize what we already think.
Jonathon Haidt… intuit, then reason.
@@Dude0000 instinct
@@chito127 look up intuit in a dictionary.
It’s not an opinion, it’s documented and researched fact. Psychology has shown this to be true for a very long time - it’s just a very uncomfortable truth for the left (who rule the roost in academia right now) because it calls their tabula rasa ideas into question… if we are just blank slates, then you can surely teach people to behave in certain ways…. But if we just act and rationalise after, it shows that we are not blank slates at all.
It is also, like all other organs, subject to evolutionary pressures.
What a great interview!
10/10 episode Mike.....2 of my fav's and you guys delivered. You are welcome.
Thank you Scott. You are one of those (the majority of which we will never know), with an astutely objective, knowledgeable mind. One who realizes the importance of tone and temperament when and while interacting with others. Kudos and best wishes. May your much good luck continue thriving.
So glad he was back on. Great interview
Really great interview
“And in the end, the love you take
Is equal to the love you make “ ❤️
I'm gonna raise money to build a monument to Scott Adams.
thank you, Michael, that was so much fun! I laughed out loud several times. I think my favorite was the marginal return on Cadberry eggs once you’ve eaten three LMFAO.
Michael I'm a big fan of yours but was unaware of your podcast until now and as luck would have it my introduction was with some one else who I'm a big fan of, Scott Adams. This was a great and funny interview. Well done. Also, along with Joe Rogan, I watch Scott Adams religiously and it looks like I'll now be watching you as well.
LOVE this podcast! P.s. @ScottAdams you are helping me raise my teenage son. Thank you. For real.
I haven't been watching much Scott Adams for the past few months, I felt like I'd kinda had my fill of him. But I have to admit, I enjoyed this interview. I'd forgotten how insightful and funny he can be sometimes.
Scott has had some excellent episodes over the last weeks.
Scott isn't always on, and he noodles with ideas on his livestreams before he's ready to bring them out into the "real world." I suspect that, like a standup comedian, Scott accrues an hour or so of good material over the course of several months to a year, and you're mostly just there for the experience of watching the act being constructed and refined if you watch a set live instead of catching the special later.
Amazing interview
You both nailed it here.
Great interview.
Two of my favorite dudes! I love this discussion!
Once one lifts the veil they wear, they soon realize that most people (including themselves) do not think, but just think we think. It's a hard pill to swallow in oneself but the realization is both startling and depressing because it then makes it near impossible to interact with most people. I figured this out many years ago and while it's liberating, it's also isolating. Ignorance is blindness disguised as bliss. Great discussion, Michael and Scott.
What do you notice when you interact with people now?
@@Exalted- That's it's impossible to engage in anything other than small talk. Any talk on serious issues is met with canned regurgitated drivel. It's wasted energy because most people do not truly think before they speak. This was cemented permanently into my brain when I witnessed the covid reaction and the maskers in 2020.
@@Exalted-I'll answer this for him, since I had the same heartbreaking revelation.
Futility. Real literal futility, which if you have any compassion in you comes with a perfect nihilism . And all you can do is stare at the ocean of sadness in front of you, straw in hand, knowing no matter how hard and long you drink your thirst and how much sadness is left will never diminish the smallest amount
Because it applies to everyone all the time, family friends enemies and even yourself, and then the implications that stem from it
This was great! 😊
Great interview!
This chemistry is on point right here
Thank you Michael for another great episode
the crossover I didnt know I needed
You have to fast forward thru the Malice ads so he cant hypnotize you.
As an avid Michael malice fan I still do not understand how he does not have millions of followers on here.
He's too much of a troll to attract bigger names. Eric Weinstein once commented ( pretty sure I'm remembering this well enough ) that he wasn't interested in going on Michael's show due to how he goes about things, which seemed to me a knock on Michael not being serious enough of an interviewer.
Thank you!!
I want these two to collaborate on some Dilbert comics!
He got the separation part right though
Wild that this man, (who used to advocate for gun control,) now suggests ignoring the law for self-defense. Certainly an interesting interview.
I can see these two being friends.
Love the Donald Trump Con Air movie idea. That would be priceless. Prison tattoos and all.
I wanna see DJT with a "45+47" tattoo, with a Colt 1911 and a Kalashnikov.
Scott says 1. There is no free will. 2. You can be anything you choose to be.
This is a deeply confused man.
If I understand him correctly, he believes that all of our choices are predetermined based on our subconscious "software" that's always running in the background of our mind. But, there are techniques and strategies that can change the software.
He is a liberal.
@Blazeing007 right, and then he would say that the fact that you come to learn about those techniques is chance, so not determined by you, and then whether you choose to utilize those techniques is a matter of the type of brain you inherited or the type of experiences you've had, again not determined by you. This is the flaw in Determinism as a philosophy - we are all helpless totally, the universe is pre-detrmjned, no one is to blaim....what it means is that we are just mechanical helpless bots with no free will - just atoms like rocks responding to other particles and waves bouncing in the universe. That's what that means. It's stupid.
There is no absolute free will,
but mammals surely have more free will than insects,
and humans have more free will than other mammals.
Free will implies a level of consciousness. One cannot have free will without consciousness and being conscious of one’s available choices and the fact that there is a choice at all. To deny free will is to deny consciousness
Great chat boys! Nice long episode too! The cancellation of Scott was inevitable. Any non-left, libertarian, conservative or trumpist commentator is under constant, relentless scrutiny seeking any statement or action that can be twisted into a weapon. Good news is that their efficacy is waning like an our-hen-a schmakzine. Peace!
Checked out on Scott when he shared his elitist opinion of gun control, and why the average person does not need an AR for defense. Since then, there has been riots and he has expressed other controversial opinions - I wonder if he still has the same opinion about the average person and their "need" to own an AR?
He is an elitist listen to how arrogant he is in this interview lol his basic thing is "everybody but me is a dumbass" I have no time for people like that. I watched him for awhile but it's a too unbearable. He needs to humble himself.
@LibertyPlusTV He nearly lost his mind when he finally realised that he was totally wrong about the vaccines, and all of the people warning him about them were correct. He just couldn't accept that, on this occasion, he wasn't the smartest guy in the room.
His twisting of all logic to try and claim that he had made the logical, rational decision and the ones warning him were irrational was painful to watch and lost him a lot of credibility.
He's totally correct about how people think and rationalise but, unfortunately, he seems to think that he's the exception.
@@Ant1815 everybody is irrational but not him, I get it lol
@@Ant1815the vax stuff was crazy. The back rationalizing of how he was wrong and everyone else right was just luck made me drop his content
Yep Michael. I call it the "windsock and parallel lines". The unthinkers tend to keep each item on a line that is parallel to all other things, never to meet and need to be reconciled, while at the same time the windsock blows to different lines on any given day or moment.
Good conversation
This was excellent
I remember running 🏃 and crossing the road and I saw a woman quickly cross the road to avoid me, and I remember thinking smart, she has no idea who this man is who is now running in her direction. If I had seen her I would have not crossed the road to put her in that position.
I had an odd moment in an elevator a while back. I work in a crime ridden city and my work has a large parking garage with elevators. I saw a woman coming one night and debated if I should hold the elevator for her (I typically hold doors and elevators for everyone. Rarely get thanked for it but I do it). I decided to hold it. I'm sure she was wondering "do I play it safe and risk offending him and opt to wait for the next elevator, or just get in?" I was wondering "does she feel threatened that I'm essentially actively trying to trap her in a box with me?" She opted to get in. I almost told her "never do that, just wait for the next one." But I didn't, and kind of regret it.
I did tell a young woman that once some years ago. I was working at a McDonald's and went up there around 1:30 or 2 am one night to get my paycheck and work schedule. The overnight manager was out front smoking a blunt with the other guy who worked there, along with a blonde teenager who wasn't wearing shoes. I thought they knew her. When I was going to leave the manager told her I could give her a ride home, which was maybe 2 miles away. I was really nervous about the whole situation but I knew him well enough to not be concerned about my own safety. I asked her her story, she had snuck out of the house to meet a boy, somehow she wound up shoeless at the McDonald's and was smoking pot with these strangers. I was in my 30s (and working at McDonald's, it's not a period of life I'm proud of), probably could have been her dad if I'd actually gotten laid in high school. I'm not a father but in that moment I felt very concerned and protective as if it were my daughter. Her primary concern was hoping her parent/s didn't wake up and notice her missing. I told her "that's the least of your concerns. You're extremely lucky that I'm a good guy, never, ever get in a strange man's car at 2 in the morning like this. Never put yourself in this situation again, bad things happen." I thought about telling her about my own concerns about getting pulled over in this situation, being caught with a shoeless underage girl out at 2 am on a school night, but decided not to. But I wish I'd have put more of a scare into her. Not in any kind of menacing way, just a stern lecture. Maybe being white put her at ease but I don't think so, I think she would have gotten in with anyone. A good decade later I almost wish I'd have woken up her parents. If she was that naive and trusting God only knows what may have happened to her since.
I have a new found love of Scott adams.
Love to see you laugh
Yes, Mr. Adams is correct. Words are important and believing and understanding the words/concepts you use is also important. I'll now use a term that I've used before when hearing similar viewpoints, "validating" ideas like Mr. Adams puts forth. The term is very sophisticated so people like him who, for sure, thinks quite deeply before he speaks will understand it. (Not like everyone else who just repeats phrases without having any foundation for it that he claims with his superior-then-thou chuckle which somehow gives him credibility) His viewpoint and my term for it is, dopey. Yes, simple and to the point. He doesn't believe in free choice because that will entail accountability. He talks about people being nice to others because they're just inclined to do it. No, it's not free choice, it's just something inborn. Really? So no one chooses to be nice; it's just a thing. On the contrary. We as human being are OBLIGATED to be nice, to put it simply. However, it is a choice as everyone, anywhere knows. So are many other obligations that we chose to follow or not.
Just because you don’t understand the free will argument doesn’t make it “dopey”. 🤡
We are conditioned response organisms The key is to condition your response to a situation wilfully over time. People get angry then react. They get angry at things and then react. They say to themselves "why do I get angry at that thing every time? Next time I will react differently". Next time they don't react differently because they don't have free will over a conditioned response until they replace the response they don't want. Why do women freak out irrationally at certain times of the month? They certainly don't seem to have free will. In time we can condition and learn the way we would like to be. In the moment we react based on previous experience without free will.
Interesting interview.
What I'm learning is that when I leave paints in the forest, I'm in charge. It won't be paints.

Oh my god, I adore the camouflage joke!!!!!
49:35 Important note by Mr. Malice. Cancellations by corps. also translate into cancellations by real persons, because in both cases the proximity is very noticable and obvious and it can be dangerous to the livelyhood and/or making a living under the current conventions. People will still enjoy Mr. Adams products and pay for them, but there needs to be a certain distance. But as soon as the subscriber lists of people are made public, many people could abstain from chosing the sideline support too.
Scott Adams says he doesn’t believe in free will. Then how does he explain the people in history who have suffered torture and death rather than say what their tormentors demanded?
I suspect we make decision based for emotional reasons, and the rational part of the mind is there to review and try and slowly edit future behavior's.
4:53. Im not sure I agree with this, because I often dumb down my vocabulary in order to convey a concept. I'm intelligent enough to recognise the words I have aren't always enough. I'm sure comprehension, rate of learning, application of knowledge, general judgement, general knowledge, even specialised knowledge and skills are all indications of intelligence. Creativity, curiosity, focus, drive, all being proxies.
I wonder if it's still true of me and other voluntarists. When asked questions about morals the first thing I do is think back to my premises of non aggression and make my decision based on what I perceive to be my principles.
No Rumble channel? Would be useful to have one
Don’t forget my body my choice…
Nobody is as smart as Scott Adam's perception of his own intelligence
Bob Smith? That you?
I am a girl and I listen to this podcast. Boys are smart.
"I don't believe in free will ... You can literally reprogram your brain..." I'm starting to think this man has already had breakfast this morning.
I have to disagree, you'd have to be fasting to speak with this kind of clarity
Scott Adams is RIGHT!
I'm pretty sure I'd remember the conversation if a guy threatened me with a big knife at the bus stop
So glad you got Andrew Klavans brother on ! Lol
Scott Adams is a gem!

You doing ok?@@Marin3r101
I feel guilty about watching and enjoying all 84 minutes of this.
Philosophically, its not logical for people to be irrational. That would mean you could never use logic OR empiricism to hypothesize expected outcomes. However, we do do that and its a strong model for predicting phenomena and behavior.
