Good morning everybody. Welcome to
another Tom Billy Show live. I love
doing these. Trump has declared all
Biden autopen actions null and void.
>> President Biden was swinging his autopen
around signing everything. And breaking
news now. Trump just officially
terminated every document, pardon,
executive order, proclamation, or
memorandum signed by the autopen under
Joe Biden. This is a quote. Any and all
documents, proclamations, executive
orders, memorandums, or contracts signed
by order of the new, infamous, and
unauthorized autopen within the
administration of Joseph R. Biden Jr.
are hereby no void and of no further
force or effect. Anyone receiving
partings, commutations, or any other
legal documents so signed, please divide
that said document has been fully and
fully terminated, ends of no legal
effect. Thank you for your attention to
this matter. You know how mad I would be
if I had to if I got out of jail and
Trump was like, psych. And then I had to
go back,
>> bro. For sure.
>> And you just let on narco dude get off
and you about to auto pen me. I would be
so pissed.
>> I'm running at that point.
>> So god,
>> here's my thing with this. Uh, as soon
as I read this, I thought of gang green.
When somebody has gang green, you have
to amputate. And so you might lose your
arm, your leg, whatever. But you can't
let the gang green spread. Now the gang
green in this scenario is not the
autopen. It is not that um people in
government have done something bad. They
most certainly have and there will be
plenty of crimes to find if you want to
go after it. The gang green is lawfare
and I am not surprised in the slightest
that
because he was gone after he is now
going after other people. Hurt people.
Hurt people. Uh, but boy do I wish that
we had somebody in office that
understood that could stand and give the
following speech. There's no one in
American history who has had the
opposition go after him legally harder
than me. And I believe that all of this
was unjustified. I believe you guys
created novel rulings specifically to go
after me. You had people like Leticia
James that ran to get elected by saying
I'm going after Donald Trump. Not I know
what he did, but that I will go find a
thing that he did to go after him.
Nobody has been persecuted like I've
been persecuted. And I'm telling you
right now that it stops here. And we
have to usher in an era of honor,
integrity, uh virtue, and let's bring
some of these things back. He clearly is
not capable of that. But Jesus, do I
want that to be the message because the
gang green is lawfare. The thing that
needs to be amputated is lawfare. Now,
if you can start a new and say, "Okay,
listen, that that passit is the
passion." And I would talk endlessly
about the fact that the people actually
running the government during Biden's
time referred to themselves uh as the
Plet Bureau, which is specifically a
communist
group that runs the government. So I'm
like, dude, that one to me, we all know
that I have my I don't think it's weird,
but I'm sure many people map it as a
weird aversion to communism, socialism.
Uh so by all means discount the veracity
that I feel it, but like that's crazy to
me. And I still wouldn't be going after
them legally.
>> Now, you draw a line in the sand and you
say, "Don't keep around because
if you do something now, we're going to
come after you because we can't like let
this stuff stand." Mhm.
>> And so now it's like cool, moving
forward, everybody understands that
abide by the rules, abide by the law.
This is a new era. We're not playing
that game anymore. What ends up
happening, the thing that people ought
to be absolutely terrified by is this
will make elections truly existential
because now Trump is in a position where
if
a Republican does not win the
presidency, they're going to go after
him again. They're already talking about
to troops, hey guys, just so you know,
the statute of limitations is 5 years
for following unlawful orders. And
that's going to be long a literally a
quote that would be long after Trump has
left office. So what they're trying to
communicate is the troops should be
ignoring Trump because they will be
prosecuted after. It's like that one
enrages me because of what it does to
the entire nation. And yeah, that that
is just stupid. And people are locked in
this uh mental battle where they are
making elections existential, which will
make people want to do everything they
can to rig an election. So, it's like,
oh my god, so dumb. Um, my daughter's in
high school now and I now hate high
school and I feel like I have never had
so many back in my day like stories and
kids don't do this and you young folk
hippity like I'm I'm becoming that
person and I never thought I would be
that person.
>> We are all always that person.
>> Yeah. So I I hear what you're saying,
but you sound like a decent person
walking up to the DNC like, "Hey guys,
let's be friends." Yeah.
>> And they're like, "What? No, he's a
fascist." And then you go to RNC like,
"Hey guys, let's stop suing everybody."
What? You're you're a snowflake. Get out
of here. Like, you know what I mean? I
feel like, are are you just yelling into
the wind at this? Because I I get what
you're saying. Yeah. And it sounds good.
Yeah.
>> And I'm looking like, okay, maybe I'm
looking at Trump's cabinet like, "No, he
won't say it. He won't say it. He won't
say it. He won't. Maybe RFK won't say
it." And then I look at the DNC like,
"No, he won't say. He won't say he.
Maybe Pete Buddhaurch might say." Like,
I'm I'm looking at the eighth person in
line of the that might say this thing,
and that's a might. So, it's one of
those things now where it's like, are is
this just we just going to have to let
them burn themselves on the oven and
then we'll we'll
>> I wrote a line about this in the
upcoming deep dive, which is um Nelson
Mandela would never come to power today,
uh George Washington would never come to
power today. So I think uh even though I
do believe that the great man of history
theory is real that great men really are
required to pull us in a direction who
we consider great changes era to era.
This is a populist moment. So I'm never
going to be popular the way that Nick
Fuentes is popular because I'm not
willing to reduce the number of crayons
that far.
>> Uh and my northstar is self-respect and
I have a set of values and when I adhere
to those values I respect myself. When I
deviate from those values, I lose
respect for myself and I hate the way
that feels so much that I will only do
the things that make me respect myself,
no matter what that means financially,
etc. I'm never going to be popular in a
moment like this where I have to pander.
I have to give people back what they
want. Now, some people may just
authentically be there and they're just
they're a product of their time. They
feel those things and so they're not
necessarily pandering. They just really
are that and I'm really not that. And so
to your point, yes, I even considered
not writing that section cuz I was like,
does this really matter? The reality is
I am to some extent screaming into the
wind. And thank you to every kind person
that's ever left a comment on YouTube
that says, "Tom, trust me, I'm
listening. People like me are listening.
It means the world to me. And if I
thought there were zero people, then I
really wouldn't do it."
>> Um, but nonetheless, I'm okay with that
because I'm only going to say what I
believe to be true. I'm only going to
say things that make me look back and
go, "Well, I at least tried everything I
could um to introduce these ideas to
more people." So, yes, in a populist
moment, you get populist leaders that
have far fewer crayons, that understand
the power of anger, that understand
simplify messages, that want to um not
only capture the rage that you already
feel, but like really fan those flames
and make it a much bigger inferno. So,
that that is what it is. I have a very I
have a super weird relationship with
humans and it goes something like this.
We are automata. So we are swayed by
ideas but we are automata that run
programming and because we run
programming the only changes you can
make are changes that were programmed to
accept. So you can nudge people a little
bit but for the most part the only thing
that pulls people out of these spirals
is abject suffering. just brutality,
war, death, mayhem, extended poverty, or
optimism brought on by everything is
going great. When I look at that, I'm
like, okay, maybe AI saves us. It's
possible. It's not likely given people's
reaction. I think that it will
>> the promise of AI will happen, but it
will be first we will suffer. Uh, and so
the bell that I think gets rung first
will be the suffering bell. And history
tells me there's virtually no way to
avoid that. We might be able to elongate
it, but ultimately the trajectory only
changes when you have rapid undeniable
prosperity or massive pain and
suffering.
>> That saddens me though, and I think
that's why I'm speechless now because
it's like,
why do we have to learn that way? But I
guess that's the
>> I mean, this is where I say you're
arguing with God. So whatever created us
has saw saw that to be fit that we're
like that.
>> Now having said that, if I can tell you
what I really think.
>> Okay.
Blind watch maker evolution.
>> Mhm.
>> But we're in a simulation. And if we're
not actually in a simulation, it works
exactly like a simulation would work.
Through every ounce of time that I spend
on Kaizen, I realize
I'm trying to get the AI to run at the
individual level.
And it takes the least amount of compute
because you set up a bunch of rules and
then all of the novelty is born out of a
rule set existing at the individual
level and they have a certain amount
that they can change. you have to bound
it because if they change too much they
become an undifferiated blob and maybe
the game isn't fun, maybe it doesn't
cohhere. And this is one of the reasons
that people wonder why is the universe
so finely tuned. It seems impossible
that if gravity were just like bumped in
slightly different directions,
everything falls apart. Once you program
things in a certain way,
there's movement, there's change,
>> it's dynamic, it's interesting. Um, and
it's a closed ecosystem that
is stable. Like when you think about the
fact that life started on Earth somehow
someway and took a really long time, but
an asteroid hit the Earth that when you
see there are now AI videos that will
show you the scope of that
crater, which is technically underwater,
but like
>> it's insane. It is so big. and you
realized, oh, it didn't kill mammals,
killed the dinosaurs. And I think people
often think it wiped everything out.
This one little thing stayed alive and
evolved and grew and became us. And then
there's the moment, the cape of hope
>> where I don't I think it's a volcano or
something happens and humanity gets
knocked all the way back to like 3,000
people or something and then we
reexpand.
If I could create a game that had that
kind of like dynamic change and out, oh
my god, I'd be over the moon. So, it has
all these negative things, but we've
pushed the AI down to the individual.
Like, the individual will lead a unique
life. They'll do it's bounded. It's
recognizable. They don't suddenly start
acting like an amoeba, but it's it's
unique. It's fascinating. It's
interesting. They cohhere. They interact
with each other on like a known set of
rules that like sometimes sparks into
violence, but other times love and they
have children. Oh my god, it is so
interesting. I get how we ended up here.
The problem of evil in philosophical
terms is a bitter pill to swallow. that
to make us
the interesting creature that we are,
that we have the capacity for both good
and evil,
>> but
we're pretty interesting. Thank you guys
so much for joining us. Means the world.
Love you all and we'll see you next
week.
