[TS]
00:01:55
◼
►
are lots of people in a city and one of
[TS]
00:01:58
◼
►
the things you need when there are lots
[TS]
00:02:00
◼
►
of people is an effective system to take
[TS]
00:02:03
◼
►
the garbage away and dump it wherever
[TS]
00:02:06
◼
►
right wherever it goes
[TS]
00:02:07
◼
►
not here yeah so in the little area that
[TS]
00:02:11
◼
►
I live there are supposed to be
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
for garbage pickups each one on a
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
parallel street there are four parallel
[TS]
00:02:19
◼
►
streets is a garbage can at each end of
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
the street opposite ends so it's nice
[TS]
00:02:24
◼
►
and convenient nice and close for
[TS]
00:02:26
◼
►
everybody
[TS]
00:02:27
◼
►
hmm now where I happen to live as one of
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
those areas of London that clearly a
[TS]
00:02:33
◼
►
long time ago a bunch of rich people
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
lived in this area in single enormous
[TS]
00:02:38
◼
►
homes and has since been converted into
[TS]
00:02:41
◼
►
apartments in which there are maybe ten
[TS]
00:02:45
◼
►
15 families like there's a lot of people
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
here and a lot more people over time and
[TS]
00:02:50
◼
►
one of the problems that happens is that
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
the garbage cans overflow now let me ask
[TS]
00:02:55
◼
►
you Brady if you had a problem where
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
they were garbage cans overflowing what
[TS]
00:03:01
◼
►
do you think would be the solutions if
[TS]
00:03:03
◼
►
you wanted to alleviate this problem of
[TS]
00:03:05
◼
►
overflowing garbage cans
[TS]
00:03:07
◼
►
well two things spring to mind ok one
[TS]
00:03:10
◼
►
would be more regular pickups and the
[TS]
00:03:12
◼
►
other would be bigger garbage bins yes
[TS]
00:03:14
◼
►
congratulations you get a gold star but
[TS]
00:03:18
◼
►
no you know what my local council thinks
[TS]
00:03:20
◼
►
is the appropriate solution to
[TS]
00:03:22
◼
►
overflowing garbage bins it is to take
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
away street-by-street the actual garbage
[TS]
00:03:30
◼
►
pickups and to replace the space where
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
the garbage cans used to be a passive
[TS]
00:03:34
◼
►
aggressive sign tellin people we have
[TS]
00:03:36
◼
►
removed the garbage cans and please
[TS]
00:03:38
◼
►
don't dump any garbage here and so now
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
in like a four-block radius of where i
[TS]
00:03:44
◼
►
am there is for garbage cans in one
[TS]
00:03:48
◼
►
location for what I mentally and
[TS]
00:03:50
◼
►
calculating is something like probably a
[TS]
00:03:54
◼
►
thousand or 1,500 people who need to use
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
these garbage cans and as a nice bonus
[TS]
00:04:01
◼
►
everybody is now way further away from a
[TS]
00:04:03
◼
►
garbage can and I feel like this is one
[TS]
00:04:05
◼
►
of these things that like if you ever go
[TS]
00:04:07
◼
►
to disney disney in America has this
[TS]
00:04:09
◼
►
just nailed down you know how they solve
[TS]
00:04:11
◼
►
the garbage problem in disney garbage
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
cans everywhere right you can't swing a
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
child in disney without hitting a
[TS]
00:04:18
◼
►
garbage can write like they're all over
[TS]
00:04:20
◼
►
the place because you know what they
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
want they want nice happy clean streets
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
and so if there's garbage cans
[TS]
00:04:24
◼
►
immediately visible people throw stuff
[TS]
00:04:26
◼
►
but now where i live people are just
[TS]
00:04:29
◼
►
dumping garbage on the streets it's gone
[TS]
00:04:31
◼
►
from people were for a little while they
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
were trying like I will just pile up the
[TS]
00:04:35
◼
►
garbage where the garbage cans used to
[TS]
00:04:37
◼
►
be here let me send you a photo of what
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
this looks like right we straight look
[TS]
00:04:40
◼
►
ugly if you had garbage cans everywhere
[TS]
00:04:42
◼
►
don't you want your London streets to
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
look pretty and look like I looked in
[TS]
00:04:45
◼
►
that the seventeen hundreds and stuff
[TS]
00:04:47
◼
►
ok yes in theory you would but here's
[TS]
00:04:49
◼
►
one of these things like we have this in
[TS]
00:04:50
◼
►
life where there have to be trade-offs
[TS]
00:04:52
◼
►
and I think once you reach a certain
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
density of population the trade-off has
[TS]
00:04:56
◼
►
to be there are garbage cans and regular
[TS]
00:04:59
◼
►
locations for people to dump their
[TS]
00:05:01
◼
►
garbage now where i live like there are
[TS]
00:05:03
◼
►
so many people there's already garbage
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
pickup three times a week you can leave
[TS]
00:05:07
◼
►
garbage in front of your house once a
[TS]
00:05:08
◼
►
week and they have all of these garbage
[TS]
00:05:10
◼
►
cans and it still wasn't enough for all
[TS]
00:05:13
◼
►
of the people i don't understand how
[TS]
00:05:15
◼
►
they think the solution is we're just
[TS]
00:05:17
◼
►
going to remove all of the garbage cans
[TS]
00:05:19
◼
►
and then tell people not to dump their
[TS]
00:05:20
◼
►
garbage there and now there is garbage
[TS]
00:05:22
◼
►
absolutely everywhere i have sent you a
[TS]
00:05:24
◼
►
photo of where the garbage cans used to
[TS]
00:05:26
◼
►
be but like all the streets just look
[TS]
00:05:28
◼
►
like this and you know what you know
[TS]
00:05:29
◼
►
what really bothers me i feel like i try
[TS]
00:05:31
◼
►
to be a good person at least when it's
[TS]
00:05:33
◼
►
easy and now i'm having to just like
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
dump garbage places as well because like
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
there's nowhere to put it
[TS]
00:05:40
◼
►
if I walk three blocks necessary to the
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
actual garbage can with the garbage that
[TS]
00:05:43
◼
►
I take out it's a mountain of trash
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
right like it's an Everest of trash and
[TS]
00:05:48
◼
►
if I throw my garbage on the top of it
[TS]
00:05:50
◼
►
it just rolls down into the street and I
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
figure it like i might as well just
[TS]
00:05:54
◼
►
leave the garbage in the street along
[TS]
00:05:56
◼
►
with all of these other bags of garbage
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
in the street this is just like I don't
[TS]
00:06:00
◼
►
understand Brady I don't understand how
[TS]
00:06:03
◼
►
how people think the opposite solution
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
is the solution
[TS]
00:06:07
◼
►
I mean that picture is pretty horrendous
[TS]
00:06:09
◼
►
i'll give you that you're gonna have to
[TS]
00:06:11
◼
►
back up for me here at sustained stop
[TS]
00:06:13
◼
►
coming out of your ears and can I just
[TS]
00:06:14
◼
►
get a little bit of context to I'm like
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
literally sweating with anger but yes
[TS]
00:06:18
◼
►
your head just so I understand em before
[TS]
00:06:22
◼
►
this debacle em how did the system work
[TS]
00:06:26
◼
►
with a like communal garbage cans that
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
were permanently in the street 24-7 or
[TS]
00:06:31
◼
►
like do you have like a hidden garbage
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
area but I don't understand what the
[TS]
00:06:35
◼
►
situation was before for example i have
[TS]
00:06:36
◼
►
a big wheelie bin that is a little shed
[TS]
00:06:39
◼
►
in my front yard and we fill up their
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
own bin and then one day a week we roll
[TS]
00:06:42
◼
►
out onto the footpath and the people
[TS]
00:06:45
◼
►
will come and empty and then we'll roll
[TS]
00:06:47
◼
►
it back onto our properly
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
you obviously don't have that how does
[TS]
00:06:50
◼
►
it work normally yes you have the nice
[TS]
00:06:53
◼
►
suburban solution to garbage which is
[TS]
00:06:55
◼
►
that you have your own bins and since
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
property is bigger in suburbia you have
[TS]
00:06:59
◼
►
an actual place to store the bins
[TS]
00:07:01
◼
►
this is the problem of being in a very
[TS]
00:07:03
◼
►
dense area like that is just not a
[TS]
00:07:04
◼
►
practical solution because again most
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
people's flats are very small like even
[TS]
00:07:08
◼
►
if my wife and I wanted to we couldn't
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
actually store very much garbage in the
[TS]
00:07:11
◼
►
flats you have to end up taking it out
[TS]
00:07:12
◼
►
all the time
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
yeah and so the solution here is that on
[TS]
00:07:16
◼
►
each of the streets they have tried to
[TS]
00:07:18
◼
►
find a relatively out-of-the-way spot
[TS]
00:07:21
◼
►
where they would just leave to garbage
[TS]
00:07:25
◼
►
cans and a recycling bin
[TS]
00:07:26
◼
►
this is on public land and always
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
visible this is on public land and
[TS]
00:07:29
◼
►
always visible and as far as it can go
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
like it's fine
[TS]
00:07:33
◼
►
they don't think it's too much of an
[TS]
00:07:34
◼
►
eyesore and the trade-off of you have a
[TS]
00:07:36
◼
►
place to put garbage is perfectly
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
acceptable and there used to be garbage
[TS]
00:07:41
◼
►
pickup three times a week and on top of
[TS]
00:07:43
◼
►
that one or two days a week i can never
[TS]
00:07:46
◼
►
quite remember you're allowed to leave
[TS]
00:07:47
◼
►
garbage outside your house at night and
[TS]
00:07:50
◼
►
a truck comes by first thing in the
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
morning to pick it up there trying to
[TS]
00:07:54
◼
►
take away garbage all the time but that
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
seems extravagant to make great that's
[TS]
00:07:57
◼
►
like garbage paradise having someone
[TS]
00:08:00
◼
►
pick up the brush every day
[TS]
00:08:02
◼
►
well you have a place to put it every
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
day and someone comes to pick it up
[TS]
00:08:04
◼
►
twice a week from your house and three
[TS]
00:08:06
◼
►
times a week from the bins
[TS]
00:08:08
◼
►
I think you've been spoiled for too long
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
no but this is just a fundamental
[TS]
00:08:11
◼
►
sanitation problems like this is what
[TS]
00:08:12
◼
►
government is supposed to do it supposed
[TS]
00:08:14
◼
►
to keep pestilence out of the streets
[TS]
00:08:16
◼
►
this is like the basics is garbage
[TS]
00:08:17
◼
►
collection right like you have to take
[TS]
00:08:18
◼
►
it away if you don't take it away
[TS]
00:08:21
◼
►
we will have cholera this is not a good
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
thing so it's like yes I understand that
[TS]
00:08:24
◼
►
there's a lot of garbage pickup but the
[TS]
00:08:26
◼
►
reason that there is a lot of garbage
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
pickup is because in this area there
[TS]
00:08:30
◼
►
must be four five six times as many
[TS]
00:08:32
◼
►
people living here as there were 20
[TS]
00:08:35
◼
►
years ago at the most
[TS]
00:08:36
◼
►
it's become a very dense area even
[TS]
00:08:39
◼
►
though if you just like looked at a
[TS]
00:08:40
◼
►
street you might not think that there's
[TS]
00:08:41
◼
►
a ton of people here but like every
[TS]
00:08:43
◼
►
building has 10 12 apartments in it like
[TS]
00:08:47
◼
►
there's a gigantic apartment complex
[TS]
00:08:49
◼
►
that like hidden around the corner

eyesore and that cannot be tolerated but
[TS]
00:13:03

I'm yet to decide whether it is the

garbage cans used to be it's not just
[TS]
00:13:11

the garbages on the street people are
[TS]
00:13:12
◼

just giving up
[TS]
00:13:13
◼

this is a perfect example of those like
[TS]
00:13:15
◼

this dichotomy between how should people
[TS]
00:13:17
◼

behave and how do people behave and the
[TS]
00:13:20
◼

truth is like when people start leaving
[TS]
00:13:22
◼
►
garbage on the street people are more
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
likely just just leave garbage on the
[TS]
00:13:25
◼

street because then everybody things why
[TS]
00:13:27

and now we have a tragedy of the Commons

simply sitting around wishing that

everybody was better or worse thing that
[TS]
00:13:38
◼

one of the people in the building just
[TS]
00:13:39
◼

disappeared and we turn their entire
[TS]
00:13:41
◼

apartment into just the place where we
[TS]
00:13:42

dump all of the garbage and it festers
[TS]
00:13:44
◼

in the building
[TS]
00:13:45

00:20:51
◼

00:20:55
◼
►
coverage whenever they have exclusive
[TS]
00:20:57
◼
►
footage of something that they want to

00:22:05
◼
►
distracting
[TS]
00:22:06
◼
►
unfortunately even a big watermark like
[TS]
00:22:09
◼
►
this isn't enough to stop channel seven
[TS]
00:22:11
◼
►
from stealing our footage they even have

channel 7 news from airing our footage
[TS]
00:22:59
◼
►
as an exclusive ok then i'm sure they
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►

►
blurred our water back and claim that
[TS]
00:23:06
◼
►
was their own footage
[TS]
00:23:07
◼
►
they're basically telling tales that
[TS]
00:23:09
◼

night they're like them I'm having
[TS]
00:23:10
◼

flashbacks to kids tattling on each

00:23:15
◼

that bloggers do when they just not

00:23:50
◼

topic of the news and why you think i

[TS]
00:24:35
◼

was kind of like a real discovery for me
[TS]
00:24:37
◼

because I spent a lot more time talking
[TS]
00:24:39
◼
►
to the drivers and understanding things

00:24:40
◼
►
flew and it made me realize why I would

probably find driving boobs quite
[TS]
00:24:46

00:25:09
◼
►

00:25:11
◼

rewards you get and you're following a

[TS]
00:26:01
◼
►
to stay in the center of the city like
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
he could specify that on his appt be
[TS]
00:26:06
◼
►
like if he hit a certain number of
[TS]
00:26:08
◼
►
short-haul drives they would pay him
[TS]
00:26:11
◼
►
enough to make up for the fact that he
[TS]
00:26:13
◼
►
was doing like a very large number of
[TS]
00:26:14
◼
►
very short drives i learned so much

◼
►
like a two-mile radius of the airport
[TS]
00:26:39
◼

00:26:42
◼

[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
working on the train line to be so much
[TS]
00:27:05
◼

[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
uber but ok
[TS]
00:27:08
◼
►
yes but i was applying a sandwich on the

[TS]
00:27:14
◼

00:27:16
◼
►
morning and I'm in London in the
[TS]
00:27:17
◼
►
afternoon for my lunch break and then
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
I'm back home and I think working on the
[TS]
00:27:21
◼
►
trains would be great
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
so the other thing that happened was
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
and funnily enough it was the guy who
[TS]
00:27:27
◼
►
told me the most about her over works
[TS]
00:27:29
◼
►
will he was dragged me to the airport so
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
we had a really long drive but when we
[TS]
00:27:32

[TS]
00:27:34
◼
►
out I get it was to and from San
[TS]
00:27:36
◼
►
Francisco Airport quite a lot little
[TS]
00:27:38
◼
►
quite familiar with how it all works and
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
he was driving me there and he says I
[TS]
00:27:42
◼
►
can't drop you at the international
[TS]
00:27:44
◼
►
terminal and I've been dropped at the
[TS]
00:27:45
◼
►
international terminal many times and I
[TS]
00:27:47
◼
►
get picked up from the international
[TS]
00:27:48
◼
►
terminal hulu and I know there's a place
[TS]
00:27:50
◼
►
at the international terminal it's at
[TS]
00:27:52
◼
►
the departures section where the ogres
[TS]
00:27:55
◼
►
go because whenever i arrived i have to
[TS]
00:27:57
◼
►
go up to departures to get my room
[TS]
00:27:59
◼
►
because the design allowed down arrivals
[TS]
00:28:01
◼
►
I know this so he's saying I can't drop
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
you there
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
I've gotta drop your domestic and then
[TS]
00:28:06
◼
►
you go to walk along the bridge or catch
[TS]
00:28:07
◼
►
a train or something
[TS]
00:28:08
◼
►
no no not acceptable and I was like this
[TS]
00:28:11
◼
►
is crazy like I get dropped all the time
[TS]
00:28:12
◼
►
you're wrong and he's like I can get a
[TS]
00:28:14
◼
►
hundred-dollar fired and I can lose my
[TS]
00:28:15
◼
►
permit and he was very insistent and I'm
[TS]
00:28:19
◼
►
like I just didn't believe her i said
[TS]
00:28:20
◼
►
you're wrong this is incorrect
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
you can do it and then I said how long
[TS]
00:28:24
◼
►
have you been an uber driver for and he
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
said I've been an uber driver for about
[TS]
00:28:28
◼
►
two months and I hadn't been to san fran
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
just go in the last two months so I was
[TS]
00:28:33
◼
►
thinking has some new rule come in the
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
last two months stopping them dropping
[TS]
00:28:37
◼
►
people off right oh no here's this grain
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
of doubt in your mind
[TS]
00:28:41
◼
►
he was very short and I was googling and
[TS]
00:28:43
◼
►
I couldn't find anything about it and I
[TS]
00:28:45
◼
►
was mad and I knew it was wrong and he
[TS]
00:28:47
◼
►
said he drops me at the domestic
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
terminal and by this time the dark
[TS]
00:28:51
◼
►
clouds come over me and I said you are
[TS]
00:28:52
◼
►
wrong about this
[TS]
00:28:54
◼
►
I refuse to believe in the city of San
[TS]
00:28:55
◼
►
Francisco you human beings can't be
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
dropped by neighbor at the international
[TS]
00:28:59
◼
►
terminal i know some cities have roles
[TS]
00:29:01
◼
►
but I just didn't believe this i'm just
[TS]
00:29:02
◼
►
thinking of this poor guy picks up his
[TS]
00:29:05
◼
►
affable Australian but little does he
[TS]
00:29:06
◼
►
know that the dark cloud is coming on
[TS]
00:29:08
◼
►
this ride i was still like civil and he
[TS]
00:29:13
◼
►
dropped me off and i said i believe
[TS]
00:29:15
◼
►
you're wrong and he said you're gonna
[TS]
00:29:17
◼
►
walk up there and go there whatever I
[TS]
00:29:19
◼
►
said have a nice day thank you very much
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
thank you goodbye and you drive away and
[TS]
00:29:24
◼
►
then i gave him one star because he has
[TS]
00:29:28
◼
►
two jobs who to pick me up
[TS]
00:29:30
◼
►
Lou and trust me where I want to go Lou
[TS]
00:29:32
◼
►
he did the first part well Lou but he
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
completely failed to do the second part
[TS]
00:29:38
◼
►
but I did not give him one star until I
[TS]
00:29:41
◼
►
went inside and said to the woman at the
[TS]
00:29:42
◼
►
information desk can / struck me at the
[TS]
00:29:44
◼
►
international terminal and she said yes
[TS]
00:29:45
◼
►
yes they can but they can only drop you
[TS]
00:29:47
◼
►
at departures they can't drop your
[TS]
00:29:48
◼
►
arrivals and I should thank you
[TS]
00:29:51
◼
►
okay good that's what i wanted to check
[TS]
00:29:53
◼
►
now I did ask but then I tried to
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
contact him like I wanted to send him a
[TS]
00:29:57
◼
►
message or like phone him or something
[TS]
00:29:59
◼
►
just so he knew for next time
[TS]
00:30:01
◼
►
and if i had been able to do that i
[TS]
00:30:03
◼
►
probably would have up to star rating i
[TS]
00:30:04
◼
►
even googled how do i change the rating
[TS]
00:30:06
◼
►
i gave him because I felt so guilty but
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
I couldn't contact him I couldn't just
[TS]
00:30:10
◼
►
send him like a text message like to say
[TS]
00:30:12
◼
►
hey man just so you know you've
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
misunderstood the role little because he
[TS]
00:30:17
◼
►
says sorry I always have to do this even
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
told me he always drops people at the
[TS]
00:30:21
◼
►
domestic terminal when they're flying
[TS]
00:30:22
◼
►
international so he's doing this all the
[TS]
00:30:24
◼
►
time to people i had to then like go up
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
two escalators and catch a train and all
[TS]
00:30:30
◼
►
sorts of things to get where I wanted to
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
you're just trying to be a hero for the
[TS]
00:30:33
◼
►
next guy who steps in this guy's uber
[TS]
00:30:35
◼
►
home i wanted to help him but I still
[TS]
00:30:37
◼
►
feel guilty about it I don't know what
[TS]
00:30:39
◼
►
to tell you what was I supposed to do
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
was supposed to give him five stars for
[TS]
00:30:43
◼
►
dropping me so far away
[TS]
00:30:44
◼
►
to catch a train to my destination and
[TS]
00:30:47
◼
►
you can't give someone five stars for
[TS]
00:30:49
◼
►
no you can't get some 15 starts that i'm
[TS]
00:30:51
◼
►
going to back you on this one Brady
[TS]
00:30:52
◼
►
thank you
[TS]
00:30:53
◼
►
he's surprisingly relieved that I didn't
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
realize my verdict on whether or not the
[TS]
00:31:00
◼
►
one star rating was okay was really
[TS]
00:31:02
◼
►
weighing on you here
[TS]
00:31:03
◼
►
I felt like I had nowhere the toes in my
[TS]
00:31:05
◼
►
tool belt what else could I do
[TS]
00:31:06
◼
►
did you leave a comment when you left
[TS]
00:31:08
◼
►
the one star review no it didn't give me
[TS]
00:31:09
◼
►
the option to normally it does it says
[TS]
00:31:11
◼
►
we know why one star because that's all
[TS]
00:31:13
◼
►
I wanted to do I wanted to get the
[TS]
00:31:14
◼
►
information to the guy right so the
[TS]
00:31:17
◼
►
reason I put one style was because I
[TS]
00:31:18
◼
►
know if I put 3 or higher
[TS]
00:31:20
◼
►
I don't get to leave a comment blue so I
[TS]
00:31:22
◼
►
pressed one knowing it would say why
[TS]
00:31:24
◼
►
what's your comment and then comment
[TS]
00:31:26
◼
►
thing didn't come up these are the
[TS]
00:31:28
◼
►
tragedies in our modern world

00:31:30
◼

[TS]
00:31:35
◼
►

[TS]
00:31:37
◼
►
ready for the next topic
[TS]
00:31:39
◼
►
ok you always have this way of starting
[TS]
00:31:43
◼
►
a topic that sets me on edge every time
[TS]
00:31:46
◼
►
i watched every topic I don't always
[TS]
00:31:48
◼
►
leave it in the show because sometimes
[TS]
00:31:49
◼
►
i'm just so thrown out of sorts like the
[TS]
00:31:51
◼
►
most innocuous topics somehow you always
[TS]
00:31:54
◼
►
put me on edge and then every once in a
[TS]
00:31:56
◼
►
while there's a real reason to be on
[TS]
00:32:00
◼
►
edge like Apple feedback last time so i
[TS]
00:32:02
◼
►
always feel like we're rolling with days
[TS]
00:32:04
◼
►
every time Brady brings up the topic in
[TS]
00:32:06
◼
►
this way so I'm I thought you were about
[TS]
00:32:07
◼
►
to praise me then for my kid sick ways
[TS]
00:32:09
◼
►
because almost every segment so far has
[TS]
00:32:11
◼
►
segue into the one before and I thought
[TS]
00:32:13
◼
►
that was a pretty good segue and I
[TS]
00:32:14
◼
►
thought how great taking the time to
[TS]
00:32:15
◼
►
just give me a pat on the back now I'm
[TS]
00:32:17
◼
►
not taking the time to give you a pat on
[TS]
00:32:18
◼
►
the back in fact i'm always annoyed by
[TS]
00:32:20
◼
►
your segways because they make it harder
[TS]
00:32:21
◼
►
for me to edit the show later always
[TS]
00:32:23
◼
►
liked our braided a Segway here he
[TS]
00:32:24
◼
►
couldn't just start the topic now i have
[TS]
00:32:26
◼
►
to cut around this because I'm chopping
[TS]
00:32:28
◼
►
out the boring bits I already thought
[TS]
00:32:30
◼
►
about that and I thought that said where

◼
►
you could put one there is like I said

two watches hi
[TS]
00:34:02
◼
►
I know it's very high breaking I feel
[TS]
00:34:04
◼
►
like this is almost certainly like the
[TS]
00:34:06
◼
►
smartphone version of this like
[TS]
00:34:07
◼
►
eventually it'll lose but anyway there
[TS]
00:34:10
◼
►
is a chance but I also think there's a
[TS]
00:34:11
◼
►
chance that there's some sophistication
[TS]
00:34:13
◼
►
switch will turn and you suddenly just
[TS]
00:34:15
◼
►
mature ever so slightly and become like
[TS]
00:34:18
◼
►
a little bit class here right that's
[TS]
00:34:19
◼
►
always what it's about and just
[TS]
00:34:21
◼
►
unsophisticated unclassy and immature
[TS]
00:34:24
◼
►
yeah because I don't decorate my house
[TS]
00:34:25
◼
►
like it's from the 1910s understand that
[TS]
00:34:28
◼
►
my love of a modern sleek aesthetic is
[TS]
00:34:31
◼
►
just so childish
[TS]
00:34:32
◼
►
it's obviously a thing all children are
[TS]
00:34:34
◼
►
born with and real men grow out of and
[TS]
00:34:36
◼
►
we'll just wait
[TS]
00:34:37
◼
►
Childish of course not just less
[TS]
00:34:40
◼
►
sophisticated yes I will grant you that
[TS]
00:34:42
◼
►
there is a nonzero chance that I would
[TS]
00:34:45
◼
►
switch to mechanical watch but it is
[TS]
00:34:46
◼
►
very close to zero i would happily take
[TS]
00:34:49
◼
►
that back
[TS]
00:34:50
◼
►
yeah so what is Apple's greatest blunder
[TS]
00:34:52
◼
►
well it's not even the massive massive
[TS]
00:34:56
◼
►
blunder that they've made with this new
[TS]
00:34:58
◼
►
macbook pro which for the first time i'm
[TS]
00:35:02
◼
►
seriously seriously endanger being
[TS]
00:35:05
◼
►
knocked off using Apple really because
[TS]
00:35:06
◼
►
this new macbook pro is bordering on a
[TS]
00:35:08
◼
►
simple for me with the lack of ports
[TS]
00:35:10
◼
►
crazy ok so that's what it is because
[TS]
00:35:12
◼
►
I'm not really in the market for a
[TS]
00:35:13
◼
►
laptop I didn't follow this very closely
[TS]
00:35:15
◼
►
at all i know people have been
[TS]
00:35:16
◼
►
complaining about it but I haven't
[TS]
00:35:18
◼
►

00:35:29
◼
►
into it without my video footage I can't
[TS]
00:35:31
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:34
◼
►
hard drives that have all my rushes and
[TS]
00:35:35
◼
►
things that I edit with anyway that's
[TS]
00:35:38
◼
►

00:35:39
◼
►
the moment

00:35:40
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:42
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:45
◼
►

[TS]
00:35:50
◼
►
to the iOS emojis the wolf face which i
[TS]
00:35:58
◼
►
have been using for Lulu and ordering
[TS]
00:36:00
◼
►
for quite some time now she has been
[TS]
00:36:02
◼
►
changed to a crappy grey wolf and it's
[TS]
00:36:05
◼
►
no longer the Audrey loo look alike my
[TS]
00:36:08
◼
►
favorite emoji has been retired
[TS]
00:36:10
◼
►
I should have known it was gonna be
[TS]
00:36:12
◼
►
simple I'm gonna talk about seriously I
[TS]
00:36:18
◼
►
feel like I just walked right into the
[TS]
00:36:20
◼
►
access for the benefit of like I'm
[TS]
00:36:22
◼
►
waiting for some serious conversation
[TS]
00:36:24
◼
►
and thinking how is pretty really going
[TS]
00:36:26
◼
►
to switch computing systems
[TS]
00:36:27
◼
►
what could possibly be my running my
[TS]
00:36:29
◼
►
mental rolodex of course it's emoji
[TS]
00:36:31
◼
►
related and I should have known should
[TS]
00:36:34
◼
►
have known we can have a boring talk
[TS]
00:36:35
◼
►
about changing computer systems another
[TS]
00:36:38
◼
►
let's talk about ammo gentle face ok but
[TS]
00:36:41
◼
►
so just to be clear they're making the
[TS]
00:36:43
◼
►
wolf face actually look like a wolf
[TS]
00:36:45
◼
►
instead of looking like a two-hour
[TS]
00:36:47
◼
►
that's what you're upset yes most other
[TS]
00:36:48
◼
►
you know applications and operating
[TS]
00:36:50
◼
►
systems have made the wolf face sort of
[TS]
00:36:52
◼
►
a great-looking wolf right like a wolf
[TS]
00:36:55
◼
►
yeah and apple had this glitch where for
[TS]
00:36:57
◼
►
some reason they were using this kind of
[TS]
00:36:59
◼
►
doggie type yellowy foxy thing that just
[TS]
00:37:02
◼
►
like Lulu and Audrey so that was not
[TS]
00:37:04
◼
►
what i use and everyone knows that was
[TS]
00:37:05
◼
►
my favorite emoji even this is like when
[TS]
00:37:08
◼
►
you say it looked just like Lulu and
[TS]
00:37:10
◼
►
heart 3i think that is quite a stretch
[TS]
00:37:12
◼
►
to say it looks just like them but it
[TS]
00:37:14
◼
►
looked more like them it was certainly a
[TS]
00:37:16
◼
►
suitable replacement for them in like
[TS]
00:37:18
◼
►
text messages and stuff that you're
[TS]
00:37:21
◼
►
already way
[TS]
00:37:22
◼
►
walking that background he's talking
[TS]
00:37:23
◼
►
with looks just like them and now we've
[TS]
00:37:25
◼
►
got to suitable replacement for the
[TS]
00:37:28
◼
►
converging form i would say if you are
[TS]
00:37:30
◼
►
going to design quite a simple emoji to
[TS]
00:37:32
◼
►
look like Audrey and her that's pretty
[TS]
00:37:34
◼
►
much what you do got yellow heads got a
[TS]
00:37:36
◼
►
little bit of white on the face a little
[TS]
00:37:37
◼
►
bit of white on the neck just like those
[TS]
00:37:39
◼
►
dogs in fact i will walk that walk back
[TS]
00:37:42
◼
►
and say it does look just like them will
[TS]
00:37:44
◼
►
let the people decide okay will be a
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
link in the show notes and I'm sure fury
[TS]
00:37:49
◼
►
as arguments in read it let the people
[TS]
00:37:52
◼
►
decide on this one so anyway I have sent
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
you a picture of what the camera Taylor
[TS]
00:37:56
◼
►
George look alike and the new wolf looks
[TS]
00:37:58
◼
►
like new wolf is better but it looks
[TS]
00:38:00
◼
►
kind of like a squirrel
[TS]
00:38:02
◼
►
does that bother you that I think it
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
looks better yes but it does look like a
[TS]
00:38:04
◼
►
squirrel
[TS]
00:38:05
◼
►
it has a very squirrely I always feel
[TS]
00:38:07
◼
►
like you're really loyal to order and
[TS]
00:38:09
◼
►
literally when I thought you kind of go
[TS]
00:38:10
◼
►
into back for them a bit wait hold on a
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
loyal two dogs in emoji form i think
[TS]
00:38:16
◼
►
you're misunderstanding that I like your
[TS]
00:38:19
◼
►
dogs i have an incredible indifference
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
to emoji faces
[TS]
00:38:24
◼
►
well I tell you what are the only person
[TS]
00:38:26
◼
►
who's showing less sensitivity than yes
[TS]
00:38:28
◼
►
it is my contact at a major pedia who I
[TS]
00:38:32
◼
►
contacted just before the show our
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
confirmation of what was happening
[TS]
00:38:36
◼
►
uh-huh and he says bad news Bradley I'm
[TS]
00:38:38
◼
►
sorry to break this to you and he said
[TS]
00:38:39
◼
►
the new one that looks nothing like
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
Audrey are low but then he had the
[TS]
00:38:43
◼
►
audacity in my wounded emotional state
[TS]
00:38:46
◼
►
he said to me this is a great win for
[TS]
00:38:48
◼
►
cross-platform consistency but perhaps a
[TS]
00:38:51
◼
►
loss for you and you Fox face emoji
[TS]
00:38:53
◼
►
exists which some could see as a
[TS]
00:38:55
◼
►
replacement for the old image so he's
[TS]
00:38:57
◼
►
kicked me while I'm down and said that
[TS]
00:38:59
◼
►
basically the emoji community is
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
celebrating this as they should
[TS]
00:39:03
◼
►
yeah okay love with him on that one as
[TS]
00:39:05
◼
►
if that's not bad enough he then says
[TS]
00:39:08
◼
►
because you know how last time we talked
[TS]
00:39:09
◼
►
about this we caused his huge surge in a
[TS]
00:39:12
◼
►
major pedia searches on this thing right
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
and like there was a graph that showed a
[TS]
00:39:15
◼
►
lot of spite of that food so it's like a
[TS]
00:39:17
◼
►
thank you
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
he has this fundraising thing where you
[TS]
00:39:20
◼
►
can adopt an emoji little and he made
[TS]
00:39:22
◼
►
Audrey they like the doctor of that
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
emoji who he then has the audacity to
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
say to be in this email where he's just
[TS]
00:39:28
◼
►
kicked me he's put PS Audrey's one-year
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
complimentary adoption of this emoji has
[TS]
00:39:33
◼
►
just expired two was this
[TS]
00:39:35
◼
►
not the respect that you deserve ready
[TS]
00:39:37
◼
►
because i don't think anything that
[TS]
00:39:38
◼
►
upset him how can you not give Audrey
[TS]
00:39:42
◼
►
like a lifetime adoption as tribute
[TS]
00:39:44
◼
►
especially now that it's being retired
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
me ask you something how can you demand
[TS]
00:39:49
◼
►
lifetime adoption on the way the person
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
makes their living off of the emoji
[TS]
00:39:53
◼
►
media I don't think that's how he makes
[TS]
00:39:54
◼
►
his living even if he doesn't make his
[TS]
00:39:56
◼
►
living like it's clear like a for-profit
[TS]
00:39:58
◼
►
organization i presume against like
[TS]
00:40:00
◼
►
they're making money on the emoji media
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
and here you are wanting to lock down
[TS]
00:40:04
◼
►
forever a little piece of real estate he
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
was quite happy to put Audrey's name on
[TS]
00:40:08
◼
►
it without my permission to start with
[TS]
00:40:09
◼
►
that was a generous gift for a limited
[TS]
00:40:12
◼
►
period of time I I think he was trading
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
off orgies Fame know is that what you
[TS]
00:40:17
◼
►
okay well then you were the sucker for
[TS]
00:40:19
◼
►
talking about it this much he said to me
[TS]
00:40:22
◼
►
when I said that he said I'm sorry 2016
[TS]
00:40:24
◼
►
continues to disappoint ya i said oh
[TS]
00:40:29
◼
►
well you can kiss another promotion of a
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
major PDA goodbye but he's got one right
[TS]
00:40:34
◼
►
and yet here we are here we are
[TS]
00:40:38
◼
►
oh you're not going to like this look
[TS]
00:40:42
◼
►
well i was thinking you know how like
[TS]
00:40:47
◼
►
that you're making rice wrap and the
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
reunion swamp and I like extinct and you
[TS]
00:40:52
◼
►
know how like the black stump was once
[TS]
00:40:55
◼
►
the tallest building is not anymore
[TS]
00:40:57
◼
►
I think this seems to be a theme of
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
their official things being like things
[TS]
00:41:00
◼
►
that have kind of fired or no longer
[TS]
00:41:03
◼
►
exist man so I was wondering if the
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
yellow version of the wolf emoji could
[TS]
00:41:07
◼
►
be the official emoji of hello internet
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
no no of course not what up
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
I don't know how you do this Freddie cuz
[TS]
00:41:13
◼
►
know what I feel like I've already lost
[TS]
00:41:16
◼
►
before any of these conversations even
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
start because I you have this ability to
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
rally the people around these unofficial
[TS]
00:41:22
◼
►
official things for hello internet it's
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
like quicksand right the more I resist
[TS]
00:41:27
◼
►
the more people are like oh what a great
[TS]
00:41:28
◼
►
idea that is tracking second so I have
[TS]
00:41:31
◼
►
to ask you because the reason I want to
[TS]
00:41:32
◼
►
know your thoughts on her is because
[TS]
00:41:34
◼
►
when i make the t-shirt I want to know
[TS]
00:41:36
◼
►
if it has to say official or unofficial
[TS]
00:41:37
◼
►
emoji of hello internet i think all the
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
Brady things have to be the unofficial
[TS]
00:41:41
◼
►
whatever that's the unofficial ability
[TS]
00:41:45
◼
►
of hello internet I will concede on
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
unofficial official
[TS]
00:41:49
◼
►
hello internet right it does that make
[TS]
00:41:51
◼
►
you happy so i can put an official
[TS]
00:41:52
◼
►
official yeah I think that's the
[TS]
00:41:54
◼
►
compromise that we're reaching I think
[TS]
00:41:55
◼
►
that's an upgrade from just unofficial
[TS]
00:41:57
◼
►
take it however you want as long as the
[TS]
00:42:00
◼
►
unofficial is first
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
does that mean we have to decide on an
[TS]
00:42:04
◼
►
official apology at some point now we're
[TS]
00:42:05
◼
►
not doing this we're not doing this we
[TS]
00:42:07
◼
►
don't need an official emoji and if we
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
were going to have an official imagine
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
what would have paid that we don't need
[TS]
00:42:11
◼
►
like an official rice hand like any of
[TS]
00:42:14
◼
►
these things we don't need I don't
[TS]
00:42:15
◼
►
understand them
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
I know you love them and I'm very happy
[TS]
00:42:18
◼
►
for you but I don't know what the
[TS]
00:42:20
◼
►
official emoji would be alright I don't
[TS]
00:42:22
◼
►
even know what all the emojis are well
[TS]
00:42:23
◼
►
we know what the unofficial official one
[TS]
00:42:25
◼
►
is it's the yellow version of the wash
[TS]
00:42:27
◼
►
that will be phased out and I OS 10.2
[TS]
00:42:29
◼
►
right so yeah the artificial emoji is
[TS]
00:42:32
◼
►
the extinct one from 10.1 an earlier
[TS]
00:42:35
◼
►
yeah it's not retro man it's cool i bet
[TS]
00:42:37
◼
►

everywhere you go

00:50:12
◼
►

[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
struck me as strange blue one of them
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
was obviously concurrent with all the
[TS]
00:50:21
◼
►
elections that are going on for
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
President and Senate and all this sort

00:50:27
◼

hmm no changes to local laws in the
[TS]
00:50:30

[TS]
00:50:38
◼

thing is obviously they have at some
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
point and obviously it's on the balance
[TS]
00:50:42
◼
►
i presume loop at the way it's
[TS]
00:50:44
◼
►
advertised on TV and there's like
[TS]
00:50:45
◼
►
saturation advertising for or against

00:50:48
◼
►
these propositions Lou the ads never
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
tell you what the propositions are and
[TS]
00:50:53
◼

purpose which is simply to just plant an
[TS]
00:51:37
◼

association in your mind I would almost
[TS]
00:51:41
◼
►
guarantee that an advertisement that
[TS]
00:51:43
◼
►
doesn't tell you the details of the
[TS]
00:51:45
◼
►
proposition it just simply tells you
[TS]
00:51:47
◼
►
vote Yes or vote no is more effective
[TS]
00:51:49
◼
►
than advertisement that explains to you
[TS]
00:51:51
◼
►
what the proposition is and then why you
[TS]
00:51:53
◼
►
should vote Yes or vote now I feel like
[TS]
00:51:55
◼
►
I'd be shocked if that isn't true just
[TS]
00:51:57
◼
►
like vote no on 47
[TS]
00:51:59
◼
►
I bet that's hugely effective and
[TS]
00:52:01
◼

whoever is funding the campaign's behind
[TS]
00:52:02
◼

the propositions wants to win
[TS]
00:52:04
◼

I feel like I would remember whether it
[TS]
00:52:06
◼
►
was good or bad though because of I have
[TS]
00:52:08
◼
►
no context i'd walk into the both and
[TS]
00:52:10
◼
►
I'd be r-47 I've seen lots of ads about
[TS]
00:52:12
◼
►
that is that the one I'm supposed to
[TS]
00:52:13
◼
►
vote yes too or no I don't even know is
[TS]
00:52:16
◼
►
that the good with the bad one and I
[TS]
00:52:17
◼
►
wouldn't recognize it from the ads
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
because I don't associate the ads with
[TS]
00:52:20
◼
►
the content of the proposition because i
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
don't know what the proposition says I'm
[TS]
00:52:25
◼
►
supposed to vote against the medicine 10
[TS]
00:52:27
◼
►
i'm supposed to vote for the death
[TS]
00:52:29
◼

penalty I get that but just calling them
[TS]
00:52:31
◼
►
by their numbers
[TS]
00:52:32
◼
►
just baffling but have you ever seen the
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
way these things are actually worded
[TS]
00:52:36
◼
►
like people sometimes post images of the
[TS]
00:52:39
◼
►
propositions and they're almost always
[TS]
00:52:42
◼
►
these crazy triple negative sentences
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
are ready like you even if you're trying
[TS]
00:52:47
◼
►
to read it and again i don't think it's
[TS]
00:52:50
◼
►
an accident you can write a clear
[TS]
00:52:51
◼
►
sentence but these things are written
[TS]
00:52:52
◼
►
intentionally opaque and difficult to
[TS]
00:52:55
◼
►
understand ways
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
yeah and then I think combine that with
[TS]
00:52:57
◼
►
an enormous amount of advertising
[TS]
00:52:59
◼
►
usually on one side was like great most
[TS]
00:53:02
◼
►
people if they try to read it there
[TS]
00:53:03
◼
►
confused and then they don't vote and
[TS]
00:53:05
◼
►
enough people just have like an
[TS]
00:53:07
◼
►
association of like oh this is bad it's
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
written in ambiguous way so that however
[TS]
00:53:11
◼
►
they read it they feel like oh yes the
[TS]
00:53:13
◼
►
bad outcome is the one that I don't want
[TS]
00:53:15
◼
►
and then they just vote yes or no
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
because they were told to do that and
[TS]
00:53:18
◼
►
then the thing passes era that's
[TS]
00:53:20
◼
►
American democracy
[TS]
00:53:22
◼
►
another thing that I found very strange
[TS]
00:53:24
◼
►
about election day in the u.s. like I
[TS]
00:53:26
◼
►
remember what the proper name for is in
[TS]
00:53:28
◼
►
the UK but on election day in the UK the
[TS]
00:53:32
◼
►
media is not allowed to talk about the
[TS]
00:53:35
◼
►
election pretty much there are really
[TS]
00:53:37
◼
►
strict rules yeah they're allowed to say
[TS]
00:53:39
◼
►
that the election is happening Lulu and
[TS]
00:53:41
◼
►
they're allowed to show footage of the
[TS]
00:53:43
◼
►
leaders of the party casting their vote
[TS]
00:53:45
◼
►
but there's not allowed to be political
[TS]
00:53:47
◼
►
coverage to the point where it's strange
[TS]
00:53:49
◼
►
blue like you watch the news or listen
[TS]
00:53:51
◼
►
to the radio in the UK on election day
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
and it's like the most boring used a
[TS]
00:53:55
◼
►
volt I'm loose and then as soon as the
[TS]
00:53:57
◼
►
polls close across the country
[TS]
00:53:59
◼
►
the gloves are off and the exit polls
[TS]
00:54:00
◼
►
come out and it's like the usual
[TS]
00:54:02
◼
►
wall-to-wall blanket coverage blue but
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
this is not the case in the u.s. know
[TS]
00:54:06
◼
►
which in itself is strange
[TS]
00:54:08
◼
►
yes that's the thing that makes it
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
doubly strange is if you're in
[TS]
00:54:12
◼
►
California the polls have closed across
[TS]
00:54:15
◼
►
the East Coast and we're already seeing
[TS]
00:54:18
◼
►
results and like I was watching CNN are
[TS]
00:54:20
◼
►
starting to see results coming through
[TS]
00:54:22
◼
►
and then I went off walking summer which
[TS]
00:54:24
◼
►
I'll talk about in a second and I was
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
walking past polling boats in California
[TS]
00:54:30
◼
►
where people were walking in and casting
[TS]
00:54:32
◼
►
their votes i was watching them vote and
[TS]
00:54:34
◼
►
yet they like me must have been knowing
[TS]
00:54:37
◼
►
half the results were coming out it was
[TS]
00:54:39
◼
►
already clear which way things are
[TS]
00:54:40
◼
►
starting to Lane like I know in the case
[TS]
00:54:42
◼
►
of California doesn't make a big
[TS]
00:54:44
◼
►
difference because of the nature of Paul
[TS]
00:54:45
◼
►
Dixon California but still I still find
[TS]
00:54:48
◼
►
it strange that i could be listening and
[TS]
00:54:50
◼
►
watching people basically saying this is
[TS]
00:54:52
◼
►
looking like who's gonna win
[TS]
00:54:53
◼
►
Lou and there are other people who still
[TS]
00:54:55
◼
►
walking into the booth to cast their
[TS]
00:54:58
◼
►
it was like that again it seems crazy to
[TS]
00:55:01
◼
►
I just because I'm not used to I guess
[TS]
00:55:02
◼
►
this is the point at which i will remind
[TS]
00:55:04
◼
►
you about the existence of hawaii for
[TS]
00:55:07
◼
►
hawaii going out there in the pacific
[TS]
00:55:10
◼
►
ocean in the middle of nowhere
[TS]
00:55:12
◼
►
not many electoral votes to begin with
[TS]
00:55:14
◼
►
but also because of this time zone thing
[TS]
00:55:17
◼
►
it's like well I mean like obviously
[TS]
00:55:19
◼
►
there are not a huge number of people
[TS]
00:55:20
◼
►
living in Hawaii compared to the rest of
[TS]
00:55:22
◼
►
America so it's like statistically the
[TS]
00:55:24
◼
►
election should essentially be decided
[TS]
00:55:26
◼
►
by the time ye rolls around and also
[TS]
00:55:29
◼
►
Hawaii votes in a particular way almost
[TS]
00:55:30
◼
►
all the time like I understand
[TS]
00:55:32
◼
►
conceptually why this would happen but
[TS]
00:55:35
◼
►
I'm i think this whole system is crazy
[TS]
00:55:38
◼
►
like I really feel like there's this
[TS]
00:55:39
◼
►
weird rush like people want the news
[TS]
00:55:43
◼
►
right now and since America is so big
[TS]
00:55:45
◼
►
you can have the new start to roll out
[TS]
00:55:47
◼
►
over time like if I was Emperor here i
[TS]
00:55:49
◼
►
would make it the rule like hey no
[TS]
00:55:52
◼
►
reporting until the polls close in
[TS]
00:55:54
◼
►
hawaii i don't care you gotta keep a lid
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
on it people
[TS]
00:55:56
◼
►
yeah good luck with that like if it's a
[TS]
00:55:58
◼
►
weird news day I think that's a small
[TS]
00:56:00
◼
►
price to pay for everybody feeling more
[TS]
00:56:05
◼
►
like their vote matters right
[TS]
00:56:08
◼
►
yeah but I found that strange so I ended
[TS]
00:56:12
◼
►
up because I didn't want to sit in and
[TS]
00:56:14
◼
►
watch CNN or not because I thought that
[TS]
00:56:15
◼
►
would be a bit set and I thought I mean
[TS]
00:56:17
◼
►
America I'm you know for an election it
[TS]
00:56:19
◼
►
might never happen again let's make
[TS]
00:56:20
◼
►
something other a lot of teams actually
[TS]
00:56:22
◼
►
invited me to parties
[TS]
00:56:23
◼
►
oh yeah sorry if I didn't reply people i
[TS]
00:56:25
◼
►
was busy but I appreciate the invite but
[TS]
00:56:28
◼
►
what I did was I went I would accept an
[TS]
00:56:30
◼
►
invitation from a friend to go to like
[TS]
00:56:33
◼
►
an election watching party at a local
[TS]
00:56:36
◼
►
theater in Berkeley is that you know an
[TS]
00:56:39
◼
►
amateur theatre company i had MSNBC on a
[TS]
00:56:42
◼
►
big screen and where people normally sit
[TS]
00:56:44
◼
►
to watch the play
[TS]
00:56:45
◼
►
everyone was just sitting watching and I
[TS]
00:56:47
◼
►
was like selling drinks and pizza and
[TS]
00:56:49
◼
►
stuff like that and it was like a big
[TS]
00:56:50
◼
►
get together and it was actually quite a
[TS]
00:56:52
◼
►
nice thing that's interesting
[TS]
00:56:54
◼
►
yeah and i was told it would be quite
[TS]
00:56:55
◼
►
nice and had been nice and other years i
[TS]
00:56:57
◼
►
guess the only problem is
[TS]
00:56:59
◼
►
I don't want to get all political but
[TS]
00:57:00
◼
►
obviously an amateur theatre group in
[TS]
00:57:02
◼
►
berkeley going to haha left-leaning go
[TS]
00:57:08
◼
►
what Democrats supporting and it seems
[TS]
00:57:10
◼
►
very unlikely to me
[TS]
00:57:12
◼
►
yeah and obviously as it became clear
[TS]
00:57:14
◼
►
that the Republican candidate was going
[TS]
00:57:16
◼
►
to be the one to win there was actually
[TS]
00:57:18
◼
►
quite a lot of emotion and there were
[TS]
00:57:19
◼
►
lots of crying people actually got a
[TS]
00:57:21
◼
►
little lesson at one point will kind of
[TS]
00:57:24
◼
►
left eventually i like it i like the
[TS]
00:57:27
◼
►
idea of you slowly walking to the door
[TS]
00:57:29
◼
►
as with this evening for grabs its
[TS]
00:57:31
◼
►
spirit miss but Mike's build the sadness
[TS]
00:57:35
◼
►
there might still be at the supporters
[TS]
00:57:37
◼
►
of the democratic candidate there was
[TS]
00:57:39
◼
►
one funny moment and that was I was
[TS]
00:57:42
◼
►
nearly out of phone charged balloon so I
[TS]
00:57:44
◼
►
borrowed someone's charger and I went
[TS]
00:57:46
◼
►
out to the foyer of the theater and
[TS]
00:57:47
◼
►
found a plug and i plugged in blue and
[TS]
00:57:50
◼
►
next to me was another powerpoint with a
[TS]
00:57:52
◼
►
phone charged already there and this guy
[TS]
00:57:54
◼
►
walked up to her and said I does anyone
[TS]
00:57:56
◼
►
mind here if I use this charger and one
[TS]
00:57:59
◼
►
of the people in the lobby said I think
[TS]
00:58:01
◼
►
you can i think thats Brady's and I'm
[TS]
00:58:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:58:07
◼
►

◼
►

►

◼
►

[TS]
00:58:33
◼
►

00:58:36
◼
►

►

equivalent of manic depressive faces on
[TS]
00:58:57
◼
►
Twitter like desert incredible
[TS]
00:58:59
◼
►
overabundance desert is exactly what the

00:59:09
◼
►

00:59:16
◼
►
about there being a lady Brady I think
[TS]
00:59:18
◼
►
it's pretty it now loved it it made my I
[TS]
00:59:24
◼
►
think this is the possibility to catch
[TS]
00:59:26
◼
►
on i think any teams out there expecting
[TS]
00:59:30
◼
►
a girl you know but reading on the list
[TS]
00:59:34
◼
►
yes or a boy i'm sorry i'm cool with I
[TS]
00:59:36
◼
►
didn't mean to raise your hackles there
[TS]
00:59:38
◼
►
i don't mind that it's like both but I
[TS]
00:59:40
◼
►
don't to become just a woman's name
[TS]
00:59:42
◼
►
I'd like it to remain both you know this
[TS]
00:59:44
◼
►
is how this goes though right there's
[TS]
00:59:45
◼
►
actual demographic information on this
[TS]
00:59:47
◼
►
so this woman is the tipping point if
[TS]
00:59:49
◼
►
not the tipping point she's the tip of
[TS]
00:59:50
◼
►
the iceberg
[TS]
00:59:51
◼
►
I guess maybe that's the thing she is
[TS]
00:59:53
◼
►
that the progenitor yeah i've written a
[TS]
00:59:55
◼
►
couple places that there's real
[TS]
00:59:56
◼
►
demographic data to support this that
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
this is a really common
[TS]
00:59:58
◼
►
this is a really common
[TS]
01:00:00
◼
►
phenomenon that essentially the names
[TS]
01:00:03
◼
►
only ever go one way that like a male
[TS]
01:00:06
◼
►
name will become a gender ambiguous name
[TS]
01:00:10
◼
►
like Leslie right and then it
[TS]
01:00:12
◼
►
transitions over time to end up being
[TS]
01:00:14
◼
►
almost exclusively female named famously
[TS]
01:00:16
◼
►
like Jane what I know would never come
[TS]
01:00:18
◼
►
back it would never come back to the man
[TS]
01:00:20
◼
►
said that yeah that essentially this is
[TS]
01:00:21
◼
►
a one-way street only for whatever
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
reason right there
[TS]
01:00:25
◼
►
oh great yeah lady ready somehow seems a
[TS]
01:00:29
◼
►
little bit more sinister now this is why

01:04:02
◼

how'd your lecture not player i just
[TS]
01:04:03
◼
►
went to bed right here yet you seem
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
surprised
[TS]
01:04:07
◼
►
I don't like to stay up late i'm not
[TS]
01:04:08
◼
►
gonna stay up for new years if I can
[TS]
01:04:10
◼

engagements require me to stay after
[TS]
01:04:13
◼
►
alright it's looking at you
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
so I just went to bed and then I usually
[TS]
01:04:21
◼
►
have off line mornings like I try very
[TS]
01:04:24
◼
►
hard never to go on the internet until
[TS]
01:04:26
◼
►
you know at least lunchtime which is
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
very effective for me but I figured like
[TS]
01:04:31
◼
►
I wake up in the morning this will just
[TS]
01:04:32
◼
►
be perfect because every time i've woken
[TS]
01:04:35
◼
►
up in the morning when there's an
[TS]
01:04:36
◼
►
American election in the UK it's like a
[TS]
01:04:38
◼
►
great with all done I just went to bed
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
there's nothing to even look at there
[TS]
01:04:40
◼
►
was no news i wake up now I just get to
[TS]
01:04:42
◼
►
find out the answer and so that was my
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
experience this time around right now
[TS]
01:04:46
◼
►
since the election anyone who follows
[TS]
01:04:50
◼
►
you on twitter
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
mmm can't help but have noticed and i
[TS]
01:04:53
◼
►
certainly noticed that you've been a
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
right grumpy ass you haven't been
[TS]
01:04:59
◼
►
yourself only want to talk about this
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
what's been up man but see i think i
[TS]
01:05:04
◼
►
have been entirely myself I think this
[TS]
01:05:07
◼
►
behavior is not surprising
[TS]
01:05:09
◼
►
no such an emotional reaction to an
[TS]
01:05:12
◼
►
issue like too much emotion new should
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
be typical ok so i guess the thing that
[TS]
01:05:18
◼
►
i found just incredibly unbelievable as
[TS]
01:05:22
◼
►
the morning went on is like I woke up
[TS]
01:05:23
◼
►
and I was like okay that's the news but
[TS]
01:05:25
◼
►
then it became clear that the thing that
[TS]
01:05:29
◼
►
I thought would never happen again in my
[TS]
01:05:32
◼
►
lifetime was going to happen which was
[TS]
01:05:35
◼
►
that the winner of the popular vote was
[TS]
01:05:38
◼
►
going to lose the electoral college and
[TS]
01:05:41
◼
►
I just thought yeah I cannot I cannot
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
believe that this is going to happen
[TS]
01:05:48
◼
►
again in my lifetime if you look at the
[TS]
01:05:50
◼
►
actual dates it's like a couple of times
[TS]
01:05:52
◼
►
in the eighteen hundreds and then 2,000
[TS]
01:05:54
◼
►
in the 2,000 cases even like a
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
complicated case with the supreme court
[TS]
01:05:58
◼
►
gets involved like you know it's like a
[TS]
01:05:59
◼
►
standard case and so that like how i
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
live the rest of my life where whoever
[TS]
01:06:04
◼
►
wins the popular vote almost certainly
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
win the presidency as well like we won't
[TS]
01:06:07
◼
►
end up in this bizarro situation that
[TS]
01:06:09
◼
►
the electoral college can bring about
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
but now here we are again by my count
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
it's the fourth time this has happened
[TS]
01:06:16
◼
►
and I was just like I could not deal
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
with that
[TS]
01:06:19
◼
►
I just the thing is pretty it's like I
[TS]
01:06:23
◼
►
don't know if you're aware but I have a
[TS]
01:06:25
◼
►
thing about elections
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
I know you like him tonight you
[TS]
01:06:29
◼
►
interested in them ok but again i don't
[TS]
01:06:31
◼
►
find elections interesting i don't find
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
election campaigns interesting for the
[TS]
01:06:34
◼
►
most part I don't find the particulars
[TS]
01:06:36
◼
►
of politics interesting for the most
[TS]
01:06:38
◼
►
part i always had this feeling like if
[TS]
01:06:41
◼
►
we can't even get the most basic parts
[TS]
01:06:45
◼
►
right ish i feel like i don't even
[TS]
01:06:48
◼
►
understand what we're talking about here
[TS]
01:06:50
◼
►
and so this was just a case of like I
[TS]
01:06:52
◼
►
cannot believe I am facing another one
[TS]
01:06:55
◼
►
of these situations in the electoral
[TS]
01:06:56
◼
►
college in my life so that threw me
[TS]
01:06:58
◼
►
quite off kilter as I was like a crazy
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
person refreshing the votes on the New
[TS]
01:07:03
◼
►
York Times page for watching the count
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
for the popular vote command like I'm
[TS]
01:07:06
◼
►
totally fine with understanding like the
[TS]
01:07:09
◼
►
way the elections run like when people
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
run because the Electoral College is
[TS]
01:07:12
◼
►
that the way it is like I understand all
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
this I'm totally fine with this but it's
[TS]
01:07:15
◼
►
just like oh my god here we go again
[TS]
01:07:16
◼
►
can't believe it's happening so I
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
remember your original Electoral College
[TS]
01:07:21
◼
►
video I haven't watched it for a long
[TS]
01:07:23
◼
►
time but I army might I haven't watched
[TS]
01:07:25
◼
►
it for a long time but if five years ago
[TS]
01:07:28
◼
►
i did watch your your new one that you
[TS]
01:07:31
◼
►
made and they're like a pharmacist video
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
i have watched it was our was around
[TS]
01:07:36
◼
►
here's the thing that people should
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
understand like i did not think that was
[TS]
01:07:39
◼
►
necessarily a good video that was just
[TS]
01:07:41
◼
►
one of these things of like this thing
[TS]
01:07:44
◼
►
is on my mind and I will go totally
[TS]
01:07:48
◼
►
insane if I don't just write something
[TS]
01:07:52
◼
►
and produce it and animated and put it
[TS]
01:07:54
◼
►
up right it was like I will go crazy if
[TS]
01:07:57
◼
►
i don't do this so great
[TS]
01:07:58
◼
►
all that aside that I do want to just
[TS]
01:08:00
◼
►
get a little bit of a total college
[TS]
01:08:02
◼
►
views from here and I know I'm kind of
[TS]
01:08:04
◼
►
the guy who's brought a knife to a
[TS]
01:08:05
◼
►
gunfight here because you are quite
[TS]
01:08:07
◼
►
knowledgeable on the issue of the
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
electoral college I would say I'm not
[TS]
01:08:11
◼
►
but I kind of know how it works
[TS]
01:08:14
◼
►
em and i am yet to be persuaded that
[TS]
01:08:19
◼
►
it's the worst thing in the world I
[TS]
01:08:21
◼
►
would say that I am persuadable both
[TS]
01:08:24
◼
►
ways because i do not believe at the
[TS]
01:08:27
◼
►
moment that it is necessarily the case
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
that the person who wins the popular
[TS]
01:08:32
◼
►
vote who was voted for by the most
[TS]
01:08:35
◼
►
people should necessarily win the
[TS]
01:08:37
◼
►
presidency
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
ok so lay out your reasoning for that
[TS]
01:08:41
◼
►
ok it's gonna come out a bit muddled ok
[TS]
01:08:45
◼
►
and it may involve analogy it may not it
[TS]
01:08:48
◼
►
may involve things that are wrong
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
it may not edit mode for bigger it so it
[TS]
01:08:52
◼
►
may not look but can I start with an
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
analogy please go ahead
[TS]
01:08:56
◼
►
let's go back to the world series of
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
baseball ok which is a best-of-seven
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
competition now you can win the world
[TS]
01:09:04
◼
►
series by winning four games of baseball
[TS]
01:09:07
◼
►
by one run 20 right and the other three
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
games you could lose a hundred runs 20
[TS]
01:09:15
◼
►
so overall you could concede 300 runs
[TS]
01:09:20
◼
►
and score for and still be the
[TS]
01:09:24
◼
►
legitimate winner of the World Series
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
blue and some people say gosh if you can
[TS]
01:09:28
◼
►
see the 300 runs in three games of
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
baseball you probably not a very good
[TS]
01:09:31
◼
►
baseball team but I can make the
[TS]
01:09:33
◼
►
argument that in fact that could be
[TS]
01:09:35
◼
►
quite a legitimate think and if you're
[TS]
01:09:37
◼
►
good enough to win four games and the
[TS]
01:09:39
◼
►
other team was only good enough to win
[TS]
01:09:40
◼
►
three games they could have been
[TS]
01:09:41
◼
►
different conditions that favor the
[TS]
01:09:43
◼
►
other team could have been home games
[TS]
01:09:44
◼
►
and away games that i can make an
[TS]
01:09:47
◼
►
argument although i've used such an
[TS]
01:09:48
◼
►

Series quite legitimately and by far and
[TS]
01:09:53

away not score the most runs and i'll be
[TS]
01:09:55
◼

very comfortable with who won
[TS]
01:09:57
◼

well I think the same could be true of
[TS]
01:10:01

elections i think if you have decided
[TS]
01:10:05
◼

for whatever reasons and we can get into
[TS]
01:10:07
◼

federal stuff and state stuff if you
[TS]
01:10:08
◼

want but for whatever reasons you have a
[TS]
01:10:12
◼

portion waiting two different people's
[TS]
01:10:15
◼

votes i can think of quite legitimate
[TS]
01:10:17
◼

reasons to a portion more votes to
[TS]
01:10:19
◼

certain groups than others who you could
[TS]
01:10:22
◼

also argue against it and I could be
[TS]
01:10:24
◼
►
persuaded otherwise but I could say you
[TS]
01:10:26
◼
►
know the president is not just the
[TS]
01:10:27
◼

president of like people they're also
[TS]
01:10:30
◼
►
president of vast tracts of land and
[TS]
01:10:32
◼

they are responsible for animals and
[TS]
01:10:34
◼

mountains and rivers and small villages
[TS]
01:10:37
◼

and things like that and you could say
[TS]
01:10:40
◼
►
well hang on maybe we need to do
[TS]
01:10:41
◼
►
something to protect certain groups are
[TS]
01:10:43
◼

in power certain groups more and not
[TS]
01:10:45
◼

of all the power to the dense huge
[TS]
01:10:47
◼

cities full of people who haven't come
[TS]
01:10:50
◼
►
up with good arguments work so i can see
[TS]
01:10:52
◼
►
easily envisaged a system whereby your
[TS]
01:10:56
◼
►
apportioning waiting two votes em in
[TS]
01:10:59
◼
►
fact I saw a lot of people make an
[TS]
01:11:00
◼
►
argument during break sir and I'm not
[TS]
01:11:02
◼
►
saying necessarily support this argument
[TS]
01:11:03
◼
►
but I saw the argument made that how
[TS]
01:11:06
◼
►
come someone who's 90 years old and
[TS]
01:11:09
◼
►
about to die had their bricks and vote
[TS]
01:11:11
◼
►
count for the same amount of someone who
[TS]
01:11:13
◼
►
was 18 and has to live with only
[TS]
01:11:14
◼
►
questions for you know 60 years you can
[TS]
01:11:17
◼
►
argue that both ways but it's still
[TS]
01:11:19
◼
►
there is an argument for portioning
[TS]
01:11:21
◼
►
weight and it feels to me like for
[TS]
01:11:23
◼
►
whatever reasons the electoral college
[TS]
01:11:25
◼
►
has a portion to wait two votes and we
[TS]
01:11:29
◼
►
can have a discussion about whether or
[TS]
01:11:30
◼
►
not they should have done that or not
[TS]
01:11:31
◼
►
but at the moment they have done
[TS]
01:11:33
◼
►
look and if that's the system that
[TS]
01:11:35
◼
►
everyone has got I'm cool with it
[TS]
01:11:38
◼
►
no it just works that way the system
[TS]
01:11:40
◼
►
doesn't give every one person to vote
[TS]
01:11:42
◼
►
the same pair as the others and just
[TS]
01:11:44
◼
►
like in the World Series some runs count
[TS]
01:11:46
◼
►
for more than others those one run
[TS]
01:11:48
◼
►
scored and those one more victories
[TS]
01:11:50
◼
►
counted for a lot more than all that
[TS]
01:11:52
◼
►
face two runs that scored in the three
[TS]
01:11:53
◼
►
games you lost who so I can kind of be
[TS]
01:11:58
◼
►
persuaded over the other argument you
[TS]
01:11:59
◼
►
made about the electoral college in your
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
most recent video was to do with the
[TS]
01:12:02
◼
►
actual voters and faithless voters and
[TS]
01:12:05
◼
►
things like that
[TS]
01:12:06
◼
►
that's a kind of another argument I
[TS]
01:12:08
◼
►
think that's a bit of a red herring
[TS]
01:12:09
◼
►
myself that never has been an issue even
[TS]
01:12:12
◼
►
in the four cases where things have gone
[TS]
01:12:14
◼
►
against the popular vote the faithless
[TS]
01:12:17
◼
►
voters has never been a problem and I
[TS]
01:12:18
◼
►
can't imagine the country ever letting
[TS]
01:12:20
◼
►
it be a problem i think it would get
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
slapped down if someone changed the
[TS]
01:12:25
◼
►
result of the election by being a
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
faithless votes in the electoral college
[TS]
01:12:28
◼
►
and that they should probably fix the
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
role because it's just a bit messy and
[TS]
01:12:32
◼
►
antiquated but i think it's a red
[TS]
01:12:34
◼
►
herring in the debate about yes or no to
[TS]
01:12:36
◼
►
the electoral college I think the real
[TS]
01:12:38
◼
►
discussion to be had is where everyone's
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
of actually count the same that's where
[TS]
01:12:42
◼
►
I'm coming from
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
ok are you sitting down bringing yep i
[TS]
01:12:47
◼
►
agree with everything that you said I
[TS]
01:12:49
◼
►
even think that's a perfectly good
[TS]
01:12:50
◼
►
analogy
[TS]
01:12:51
◼
►
the thing about the electoral college
[TS]
01:12:52
◼
►
that is very hard to convey
[TS]
01:12:57
◼
►
even in the longer older videos that
[TS]
01:12:59
◼
►
I've done is like I will agree that the
[TS]
01:13:02
◼
►
electoral college in isolation is not
[TS]
01:13:05
◼
►
necessarily a problem
[TS]
01:13:07
◼
►
the thing that I originally was planning
[TS]
01:13:09
◼
►
to do this year for the election instead
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
of doing the rules for rulers video
[TS]
01:13:14
◼
►
which took it over was I kind of wanted
[TS]
01:13:17
◼
►
to do a here are all of the particular
[TS]
01:13:21
◼
►
problems in American democracy video
[TS]
01:13:24
◼
►
because my feeling is really like none
[TS]
01:13:29
◼
►
of them on their own are really deal
[TS]
01:13:31
◼
►
breakers but it's everything put
[TS]
01:13:34
◼
►
together ends up becoming a real problem
[TS]
01:13:36
◼
►
and I think the Electoral College is a
[TS]
01:13:39
◼
►
fantastic example of an interesting
[TS]
01:13:43
◼
►
different thing that the United States
[TS]
01:13:45
◼
►
does that's a layer on top of all of
[TS]
01:13:50
◼
►
these other layers that exists and that
[TS]
01:13:53
◼
►
I think ends up making things worse
[TS]
01:13:57
◼
►
like I mean it's almost like you could
[TS]
01:13:59
◼
►
have a very parliamentary system where
[TS]
01:14:02
◼
►
everybody elects their local
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
representatives and then the members of
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
parliament select the Prime Minister
[TS]
01:14:10
◼
►
stroke president and like that's a very
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
different kind of system and the idea of
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
the Electoral College is almost that
[TS]
01:14:18
◼
►
that people are extending electors to go
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
represents them and elect who the leader
[TS]
01:14:25
◼
►
of the executive is going to be like
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
it's actually not that far off of a
[TS]
01:14:29
◼
►
parliamentary system sort of but i don't
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
have necessarily have problems with
[TS]
01:14:33
◼
►
parliamentary systems but i think it's
[TS]
01:14:35
◼
►
it's a question of the way all of these
[TS]
01:14:38
◼
►
various things interlock with each other
[TS]
01:14:41
◼
►
which is part of what always makes it a
[TS]
01:14:43
◼
►
very difficult thing to talk about that
[TS]
01:14:44
◼
►
you're going down the red herring road
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
again they're gray when you start
[TS]
01:14:47
◼
►
talking like that like this antiquated
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
extra layer of abstraction where these
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
faceless people have to like rubber
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
stamp for the people chose I'd mean is
[TS]
01:14:57
◼
►
weird and unnecessary little bit like
[TS]
01:15:00
◼
►
saying how like you know this is almost
[TS]
01:15:02
◼
►
like a parliament maybe it was once like
[TS]
01:15:03
◼
►
that but that's clearly not what I has
[TS]
01:15:05
◼
►
been for a very long time
[TS]
01:15:06
◼
►
oh yeah i think when you start catching
[TS]
01:15:08
◼
►
it like that
[TS]
01:15:09
◼
►
and I think you're like stirring up the
[TS]
01:15:11
◼
►
wrong debate you know this is just some
[TS]
01:15:13
◼
►
anachronism some weird system that they
[TS]
01:15:16
◼
►
used to transfer what happens in the
[TS]
01:15:18
◼
►
election to some kind of formal process
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
for the president being appointed which
[TS]
01:15:23
◼
►
is stupid but I when you rile people up
[TS]
01:15:26
◼
►
with that I think it's a red herring and
[TS]
01:15:28
◼
►
so again I i agree i'm not actually
[TS]
01:15:30
◼
►
saying that is like a parliamentary
[TS]
01:15:31
◼
►
system understand like the structure is
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
vaguely like this same idea right and
[TS]
01:15:35
◼
►
there's nothing necessarily wrong with a
[TS]
01:15:37
◼
►
parliamentary system so there could be a
[TS]
01:15:38
◼
►
version of the electoral college that's
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
just totally fine and unremarkable and
[TS]
01:15:42
◼
►
boring but I'm just saying some of the
[TS]
01:15:43
◼
►
particulars of it are frustrating and I
[TS]
01:15:46
◼
►
mean I guess that the thing that we
[TS]
01:15:47
◼
►
should get out of the way we like very
[TS]
01:15:50
◼
►
clearly is you know it's so funny like
[TS]
01:15:52
◼
►
you make a video and it's always
[TS]
01:15:55
◼
►
interesting to see how people react to
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
the things that you say and like part of
[TS]
01:16:01
◼
►
my frustration which I thought I made
[TS]
01:16:04
◼
►
really clear was actually with some
[TS]
01:16:07
◼
►
friends I had some personal
[TS]
01:16:09
◼
►
conversations with who were wanting me
[TS]
01:16:13
◼
►
to make a video about how the election
[TS]
01:16:17
◼
►
result can be overturned with faithless
[TS]
01:16:18
◼
►
electors you know I ended up getting a
[TS]
01:16:20
◼
►
kind of inundation from a lot of people
[TS]
01:16:22
◼
►
that I know personally about this I kind
[TS]
01:16:23
◼
►
of feel you didn't make that video great
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
I feel that it was a very strong element
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
of i would say scaremongering little bit
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
sowing the seed into people's brain that
[TS]
01:16:35
◼
►
legitimate elections could be overturned
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
by renegades and you sort of said that
[TS]
01:16:40
◼
►
should never happen but I think you
[TS]
01:16:42
◼
►
differently so to say that it was a
[TS]
01:16:43
◼
►
possibility but maybe I watched through
[TS]
01:16:46
◼
►
the wrong prison I know you made other
[TS]
01:16:47
◼
►
points in the video but I came away from
[TS]
01:16:49
◼
►
that video thinking that you were
[TS]
01:16:50
◼
►
selling that Sade what I was trying to
[TS]
01:16:52
◼
►
say there is like the electoral college
[TS]
01:16:55
◼
►
has the option of this totally crazy
[TS]
01:16:58
◼
►
function now i agree with you that it is
[TS]
01:17:02
◼
►
incredibly unlikely that it is going to
[TS]
01:17:06
◼
►
there's also believe it or not there is
[TS]
01:17:08
◼
►
a whole other extra crazy layer on top
[TS]
01:17:10
◼
►
of this which is fast just to walk
[TS]
01:17:13
◼
►
through the shockingly unlikely scenario
[TS]
01:17:15
◼
►
electoral college vote happens in
[TS]
01:17:18
◼
►
December let's say faithless electors
[TS]
01:17:21
◼
►
swing it and they choose a
[TS]
01:17:22
◼
►
different candidate when that happens in
[TS]
01:17:26
◼
►
January there was also an official part
[TS]
01:17:29
◼
►
of the process where Congress actually
[TS]
01:17:30
◼
►
certifies and counts the balance from
[TS]
01:17:34
◼
►
the electoral college but during that
[TS]
01:17:35
◼
►
stage any senator or representative is
[TS]
01:17:38
◼
►
allowed to object to the result and if
[TS]
01:17:41
◼
►
that occurs it starts getting really
[TS]
01:17:43
◼
►
foggy here because it hasn't happened
[TS]
01:17:44
◼
►
before there's a little bit of like what
[TS]
01:17:46
◼
►
exactly is the process but the probable
[TS]
01:17:48
◼
►
outcome is that the newly incoming
[TS]
01:17:51
◼
►
Congress then votes and decides on who
[TS]
01:17:53
◼
►
the president is going to be alright but
[TS]
01:17:56
◼
►
all of this i completely agree is very
[TS]
01:18:00
◼
►
unlikely to happen those two things here
[TS]
01:18:02
◼
►
like this to me seems like an obvious
[TS]
01:18:04
◼
►
thing right like you shouldn't have
[TS]
01:18:07
◼
►
systems where there's even a small
[TS]
01:18:09
◼
►
probability of a ridiculous thing
[TS]
01:18:11
◼
►
happening and I think like if you can't
[TS]
01:18:14
◼
►
close these loopholes you are
[TS]
01:18:17
◼
►
intentionally just waiting for trouble
[TS]
01:18:20
◼
►
and I think this election is a perfect
[TS]
01:18:22
◼
►
storm of potential trouble like if
[TS]
01:18:24
◼
►
anything crazy is ever going to happen
[TS]
01:18:26
◼
►
it's this election you're saying because
[TS]
01:18:28
◼
►
like such an unusual candidate wanna
[TS]
01:18:30
◼
►
that if any people are ever going to try
[TS]
01:18:32
◼
►
to invoke some of these weird loopholes
[TS]
01:18:34
◼
►
it might be this one
[TS]
01:18:36
◼
►
exactly this is the time if there's any
[TS]
01:18:38
◼
►
chance it's this time now as every
[TS]
01:18:41
◼
►
single day that goes on i think that
[TS]
01:18:43
◼
►
chance decreases i would say like it's
[TS]
01:18:45
◼
►
the highest it's ever been in American
[TS]
01:18:47
◼
►
history and I feel like I'm so against
[TS]
01:18:49
◼
►
this idea i'm against this even being a
[TS]
01:18:51
◼
►
thing that's possible and i find it
[TS]
01:18:53
◼
►
furious that people seem to be ok with
[TS]
01:18:56
◼
►
system was like add as a crazy thing
[TS]
01:18:58
◼
►
that can happen but it'll never happen
[TS]
01:19:00
◼
►
right but if you wait long enough crazy
[TS]
01:19:01
◼
►
things do happen and so you should try
[TS]
01:19:04
◼
►
to simplify and clarify the system and
[TS]
01:19:07
◼
►
so like I was just seeing a lot of
[TS]
01:19:09
◼
►
people like calling for faithless
[TS]
01:19:12
◼
►
electors and it's like yes this is
[TS]
01:19:14
◼
►
technically within the rules
[TS]
01:19:17
◼
►
it's kind of like in the next video
[TS]
01:19:19
◼
►
where I said like you know if the
[TS]
01:19:20
◼
►
government doesn't do brexit it's kind
[TS]
01:19:23
◼
►
of going against the idea of democracy
[TS]
01:19:25
◼
►
like I was trying to say this a similar
[TS]
01:19:28
◼
►
thing in this video of like this has
[TS]
01:19:30

never happened and it totally shouldn't
[TS]
01:19:34
◼
►
and I think my exact words were then
[TS]
01:19:36
◼
►
like but it's crazy to leave in place
[TS]
01:19:38
◼
►
for future elections a system that
[TS]
01:19:42
◼
►
benefits nobody writes something like
[TS]
01:19:45
◼
►
okay great i'm with you this is kind of
[TS]
01:19:47
◼
►
a possible way that that could have been
[TS]
01:19:50
◼
►
perceived though and maybe I perceive it
[TS]
01:19:52
◼
►
depending on what you tell me later on
[TS]
01:19:54
◼
►
he is using this doomsday scenario the
[TS]
01:19:59
◼
►
red herring as i call it but you know
[TS]
01:20:00
◼
►
something that is possible i feel that
[TS]
01:20:02
◼
►
maybe some people think you're using
[TS]
01:20:04
◼
►
this doomsday scenario to change the
[TS]
01:20:07
◼
►
other aspect of the electoral college is
[TS]
01:20:09
◼
►
like using that as the back door to
[TS]
01:20:11
◼
►
change the other component that gives
[TS]
01:20:13
◼
►
certain states more influence than other
[TS]
01:20:14
◼
►
states it's like saying I can't win that
[TS]
01:20:17
◼
►
argument so let me scare the bejesus out
[TS]
01:20:19
◼
►
of people with this other argument are
[TS]
01:20:21
◼
►
faithless selectors and results being
[TS]
01:20:23
◼
►
overturned and then once everyone says
[TS]
01:20:25
◼
►
on your right the Electoral College is
[TS]
01:20:26
◼
►
terrible
[TS]
01:20:27
◼
►
then you change the other stuff and
[TS]
01:20:29
◼
►
that's what I want to talk to you about
[TS]
01:20:30
◼
►
like the million-dollar question silver
[TS]
01:20:33
◼
►
bullet thing that I want to know from
[TS]
01:20:34
◼
►
you is do you think everyone's vote
[TS]
01:20:37
◼
►
should count the same for president
[TS]
01:20:39
◼
►
let's get in just one second I do just
[TS]
01:20:40
◼
►
want to address your previous point
[TS]
01:20:42
◼
►
because in a sense you're right because
[TS]
01:20:44
◼
►
so here's the thing the electoral
[TS]
01:20:48
◼
►
college has this function where the
[TS]
01:20:51
◼
►
person who wins the popular vote can
[TS]
01:20:53
◼
►
lose the election
[TS]
01:20:55
◼
►
yeah right and now when that happens it
[TS]
01:20:59
◼
►
ends up being the case that the people
[TS]
01:21:01
◼
►
whose candidate has just one like the
[TS]
01:21:03
◼
►
Electoral College is amazing
[TS]
01:21:05
◼
►
yeah i think this ends up becoming like
[TS]
01:21:07
◼
►
a moderate reading of the actual rules
[TS]
01:21:10
◼
►
and and I feel like rules mean anything
[TS]
01:21:12
◼
►
you have to have a kind of
[TS]
01:21:13
◼
►
fundamentalist reading of the rules and
[TS]
01:21:16
◼
►
so if the rules say that faithless
[TS]
01:21:18
◼
►
electors can overturn the results if
[TS]
01:21:22
◼
►
you're a-ok with the first half of the
[TS]
01:21:25
◼
►
list of rules that forms what the
[TS]
01:21:26
◼
►
Electoral College is you have to be
[TS]
01:21:28
◼
►
a-okay with the second half of what the
[TS]
01:21:31
◼
►
electoral college says as possible and
[TS]
01:21:34
◼
►
so I think each
[TS]
01:21:37
◼
►
of those two halves end up creating a
[TS]
01:21:40
◼
►
hole that is theoretically objectionable
[TS]
01:21:44
◼
►
to everybody and that's why I'm trying
[TS]
01:21:46
◼
►
to discuss it some people will be on the
[TS]
01:21:48
◼
►
side of the popular winner should win
[TS]
01:21:51
◼
►
the election and some people will say
[TS]
01:21:53
◼
►
the election should never be overturned
[TS]
01:21:54
◼
►
by bees electors like okay but that's
[TS]
01:21:57
◼
►
what it is and the relative arguments
[TS]
01:22:01
◼
►
about how likely one or the other are to
[TS]
01:22:04
◼
►
I feel like all those are is discussions
[TS]
01:22:07
◼
►
of what happens to be the current
[TS]
01:22:10
◼
►
political system they're not discussions
[TS]
01:22:13
◼
►
of the system in general in the abstract
[TS]
01:22:17
◼
►
how does it actually work when you don't
[TS]
01:22:20
◼
►
have a team to be rooting for
[TS]
01:22:22
◼
►
that's the question that's like it's so
[TS]
01:22:24
◼
►
impossible to separate in people's minds
[TS]
01:22:27
◼
►
think about how this system works in
[TS]
01:22:30
◼
►
general if you didn't have a side would
[TS]
01:22:34
◼
►
you be okay with a system that allows
[TS]
01:22:36
◼
►
the person who gets fewer votes to win
[TS]
01:22:40
◼
►
and there are totally scenarios where
[TS]
01:22:42
◼
►
that would be acceptable but are you
[TS]
01:22:43
◼
►
also ok with a system that allows an
[TS]
01:22:46
◼
►
unknown council the people to overturn
[TS]
01:22:48
◼
►
that result like I just don't think
[TS]
01:22:49
◼
►
anybody can agree to both halves of
[TS]
01:22:51
◼
►
those alright I just think it's sort of
[TS]
01:22:53
◼
►
doing the same thing over again there
[TS]
01:22:54
◼
►
are two things going on here and I don't
[TS]
01:22:56
◼
►
think the two particularly related other
[TS]
01:22:59
◼
►
than being able to say there are two
[TS]
01:23:00
◼
►
things that might be wrong with it
[TS]
01:23:02
◼
►
I think the faithless selectors and the
[TS]
01:23:04
◼
►
nature of the strangers forming the
[TS]
01:23:06
◼
►
college and that is a whole separate
[TS]
01:23:09
◼
►
argument and is muddying the waters and
[TS]
01:23:13
◼
►
the more you clarified the more I feel
[TS]
01:23:15
◼
►
like you're muddying up here I I
[TS]
01:23:17
◼
►
understand what you said but I just
[TS]
01:23:19
◼
►
don't understand how its arguing though
[TS]
01:23:20
◼
►
because then it just seems to me like
[TS]
01:23:22
◼
►
you're picking the parts that you like
[TS]
01:23:24
◼
►
and ignoring the parts that you don't
[TS]
01:23:25
◼
►
and so then all i hear is I like the
[TS]
01:23:28
◼
►
system when it works in my favor I don't
[TS]
01:23:30
◼
►
like the system when it couldn't
[TS]
01:23:31
◼
►
possibly work in my favor but then it's
[TS]
01:23:33
◼
►
like okay well now we're not discussing
[TS]
01:23:34
◼
►
what a fair system is now we're just
[TS]
01:23:36
◼
►
discussing how you personally benefit
[TS]
01:23:39
◼
►
this time around and like that is
[TS]
01:23:41
◼
►
actually the reason that i was i was so
[TS]
01:23:43
◼
►
infuriated because I felt like a man
[TS]
01:23:45
◼
►
alone in the world on Wednesday saying
[TS]
01:23:48
◼
►
all this time around
[TS]
01:23:49
◼
►
is benefiting this time around no one
[TS]
01:23:51
◼
►
has ever benefited from faithless
[TS]
01:23:53
◼
►
electors people have benefited from the
[TS]
01:23:57
◼
►
confusion between winning the electoral
[TS]
01:23:59
◼
►
college and winning the popular vote
[TS]
01:24:02
◼
►
like that is an elephant in the room
[TS]
01:24:03
◼
►
that needs to be discussed but this
[TS]
01:24:05
◼
►
possibility of faithless elector yes
[TS]
01:24:08
◼
►
it's an issue yes it's it's there but
[TS]
01:24:11
◼
►
it's not the core of the argument it's
[TS]
01:24:13
◼
►
like a plane is crashing because the
[TS]
01:24:16
◼
►
engines have stopped working and you're
[TS]
01:24:19
◼
►
also saying as a little crack in the tip
[TS]
01:24:20
◼
►
of the wing that could also make the
[TS]
01:24:22
◼
►
plane crash
[TS]
01:24:23
◼
►
I'm saying let's do with the fact the
[TS]
01:24:25
◼
►
engines aren't working
[TS]
01:24:26
◼
►
can we learn this thing with or without
[TS]
01:24:28
◼
►
engines is there a way around this what
[TS]
01:24:30
◼
►
kind of engines do we need how do we
[TS]
01:24:31
◼
►
save the plane and you're here saying oh
[TS]
01:24:34
◼
►
yes but also there's a crack in the end
[TS]
01:24:35
◼
►
of the wing okay once the engine
[TS]
01:24:37
◼
►
situation is dealt with
[TS]
01:24:38
◼
►
let's have a look at the crack in the
[TS]
01:24:40
◼
►
wing because that's also a problem but
[TS]
01:24:42
◼
►
at the moment we should be talking about
[TS]
01:24:43
◼
►
the engines and I feel like the
[TS]
01:24:45
◼
►
disparity between the Electoral College
[TS]
01:24:48
◼
►
numbers and the popular vote is the
[TS]
01:24:50
◼
►
engines of the plane and you're spending
[TS]
01:24:53
◼
►
way too much time on the little crack in
[TS]
01:24:54
◼
►
the wing
[TS]
01:24:55
◼
►
I mean we're going to have to disagree
[TS]
01:24:56
◼
►
on on this point I just think it really
[TS]
01:24:59
◼
►
does matter and that otherwise you are
[TS]
01:25:02
◼
►
only wanting to accept the rules when
[TS]
01:25:05
◼
►
they work in your favor and you don't
[TS]
01:25:06
◼
►
want to accept the rules when they don't
[TS]
01:25:07
◼
►
work in your favor and that's why I was
[TS]
01:25:09
◼
►
really frustrated with everybody on
[TS]
01:25:10
◼
►
wednesday or whatever it was that the
[TS]
01:25:12
◼
►
election results came out because I I
[TS]
01:25:15
◼
►
felt like everybody just wanted things
[TS]
01:25:18
◼
►
to go their way and nobody cared about
[TS]
01:25:20
◼
►
the rules right if you were happy that
[TS]
01:25:22
◼
►
the candidate one you were totally happy
[TS]
01:25:24
◼
►
with the way the rules work if you
[TS]
01:25:25
◼
►
didn't like the candidate who won then
[TS]
01:25:27
◼
►
you were calling for faithless elector
[TS]
01:25:28
◼
►
to overthrew the result that's why I was
[TS]
01:25:31
◼
►
so upset I felt like I was just alone in
[TS]
01:25:32
◼
►
the world like nobody cares if this is
[TS]
01:25:34
◼
►
fair in the abstract everybody only
[TS]
01:25:36
◼
►
cares that they win that their team wins
[TS]
01:25:39
◼
►
and that's the thing that I hate the
[TS]
01:25:40
◼
►
most about politics is it becomes sports
[TS]
01:25:43
◼
►
right and everybody's just pulling for
[TS]
01:25:44
◼
►
their team and they want to win no
[TS]
01:25:46
◼
►
matter what it is i say the problem now
[TS]
01:25:48
◼
►
what's the problem
[TS]
01:25:49
◼
►
I think you are overhearing the people
[TS]
01:25:52
◼
►
calling for faithful selectors there's a
[TS]
01:25:54
◼
►
call for everything out there but i
[TS]
01:25:55
◼
►
think that you're complaining about the
[TS]
01:25:57
◼
►
disparity between the popular vote is
[TS]
01:26:00
◼
►
way more the argument and
[TS]
01:26:02
◼
►
think people are talking about then the
[TS]
01:26:04
◼
►
faithless voters and if you think both
[TS]
01:26:06
◼
►
things like have equal weighting and the
[TS]
01:26:08
◼
►
people who lost trying to use the
[TS]
01:26:10
◼
►
faithless voters as the back door
[TS]
01:26:12
◼
►
I think you got that wrong but you
[TS]
01:26:14
◼
►
understand i'm trying to tell the
[TS]
01:26:16
◼
►
winning team they have a reason to be
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
concerned too even though we benefited
[TS]
01:26:20
◼
►
them but I think you're trying to trick
[TS]
01:26:22
◼
►
the winning team there again I think
[TS]
01:26:24
◼
►
you're trying to use it as a back door
[TS]
01:26:25
◼
►
to get a wider issue we'll have to agree
[TS]
01:26:27
◼
►
to disagree on this point i agree with
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
you that both things the floor I Great
[TS]
01:26:30
◼
►
ok I agree that both me discussing but i
[TS]
01:26:34
◼
►
think one is more important than the
[TS]
01:26:36
◼
►
other and I think you're placing and you
[TS]
01:26:38
◼
►
importance on the faithful interest
[TS]
01:26:40
◼
►
problem with anything that American
[TS]
01:26:42
◼
►
society needs to decide who is whether
[TS]
01:26:45
◼
►
or not they're happy with the situation
[TS]
01:26:47
◼
►
of popular verminous not becoming
[TS]
01:26:49
◼
►
president that's what I'm really really
[TS]
01:26:51
◼
►
need to decide and I wonder what you
[TS]
01:26:53
◼
►
think about that ok so I'm going to try
[TS]
01:26:55
◼
►
to describe the situation in a little
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
bit of the abstract we don't get caught
[TS]
01:26:58
◼
►
up in the details of the electoral
[TS]
01:27:00
◼
►
college yeah who cares really
[TS]
01:27:01
◼
►
right right doesn't matter so here is my
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
view on it you have the competing needs
[TS]
01:27:05
◼
►
of two different entities on one hand
[TS]
01:27:08
◼
►
you have the competing needs of citizens
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
and on the other hand you have the
[TS]
01:27:14
◼
►
competing needs of the state's these are
[TS]
01:27:17
◼
►
the two players in this game and it
[TS]
01:27:20
◼
►
really is like a question of kind of
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
governing preference which way you want
[TS]
01:27:25
◼
►
those things to lead do you care more
[TS]
01:27:27
◼
►
about the sovereignty of the states or
[TS]
01:27:29
◼
►
do you care more about like the citizens
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
as a whole and like I really don't think
[TS]
01:27:34
◼
►
there's a correct answer to that i
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
really think that's a bit of like a
[TS]
01:27:36
◼
►
preference argument now the problem is
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
here's what I think happened it's almost
[TS]
01:27:44
◼
►
like an optical illusion that occurs in
[TS]
01:27:45
◼
►
people's minds were discussing this
[TS]
01:27:47
◼
►
so there is the very legitimate very
[TS]
01:27:50
◼
►
real complaint that if you're just going
[TS]
01:27:52
◼
►
by popular vote because America is so
[TS]
01:27:55
◼
►
enormous you end up with just the city's
[TS]
01:27:59
◼
►
controlling things and I don't think
[TS]
01:28:01
◼
►
that's an illegitimate complaint and you
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
also end up with just that this weird
[TS]
01:28:05
◼
►
and real disparity especially in a
[TS]
01:28:08
◼
►
country as big as America that it's like
[TS]
01:28:11
◼
►
you have like this ocean
[TS]
01:28:15
◼
►
of the rural and poking up in random
[TS]
01:28:19
◼
►
locations is an urban archipelago right
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
and like the cities have much more in
[TS]
01:28:25
◼
►
common with each other than they
[TS]
01:28:27
◼
►
necessarily do with their own States and
[TS]
01:28:31
◼
►
the rural areas often have much more in
[TS]
01:28:32
◼
►
common than they do with this state
[TS]
01:28:34
◼
►
that's you know an hour's drive away and
[TS]
01:28:36
◼
►
so there's this weird geographic
[TS]
01:28:38
◼
►
fragmentation and I think it's totally
[TS]
01:28:39
◼
►
legit for people who are not in the city
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
to say like look at all of this land
[TS]
01:28:43
◼
►
like look at all of this space this has
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
to have some kind of waiting and
[TS]
01:28:49
◼
►
balanced against the cities like I can
[TS]
01:28:51
◼
►
understand that argument okay yeah and
[TS]
01:28:55
◼
►
so here's where I think the reasoning
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
then start to turn a little bit because
[TS]
01:29:00
◼
►
what happens is the minority group which
[TS]
01:29:05
◼
►
in this case is you know very close but
[TS]
01:29:07
◼
►
let's just say it's rural citizens are
[TS]
01:29:10
◼
►
in the minority or you know will
[TS]
01:29:11
◼
►
essentially be soon and they say you
[TS]
01:29:14
◼
►
know we should have more votes or are
[TS]
01:29:17
◼
►
our votes should be weighted more in
[TS]
01:29:20
◼
►
order to balance out the cities and that
[TS]
01:29:23
◼
►
right there is the moment that I think
[TS]
01:29:24
◼
►
there's a problem because there is
[TS]
01:29:26
◼
►
actually a simpler fairer solution which
[TS]
01:29:30
◼
►
is you have to require a supermajority
[TS]
01:29:34
◼
►
you don't just require 50.0 Oh 1% of the
[TS]
01:29:40
◼
►
votes if you want to say like look we
[TS]
01:29:42
◼
►
need to have an elected leader who is
[TS]
01:29:46
◼
►
going to be representing a lot of our
[TS]
01:29:49
◼
►
people what you want to do then is say
[TS]
01:29:52
◼
►
instead of giving this waiting
[TS]
01:29:54
◼
►
differently which I think has a real
[TS]
01:29:55
◼
►
unfair feeling and leads to strange
[TS]
01:29:58
◼
►
results sometimes I think it's easier to
[TS]
01:30:01
◼
►
say look the candidate has to win sixty
[TS]
01:30:04
◼
►
percent of the ballots cast that's what
[TS]
01:30:07
◼
►
you actually want because otherwise you
[TS]
01:30:10
◼
►
end up with these weird situations where
[TS]
01:30:12
◼
►
you end up with minority rule and people
[TS]
01:30:16
◼
►
are always like Oh minority rule is
[TS]
01:30:17
◼
►
awesome when it's me and it's like you
[TS]
01:30:19
◼
►
know you doing this the wrong way if you
[TS]
01:30:21
◼
►
want to protect a minority group in a
[TS]
01:30:25
◼
►
voting bloc
[TS]
01:30:26
◼
►
what you require is more consensus not
[TS]
01:30:30
◼
►
less consensus so that's my feeling on
[TS]
01:30:32
◼
►
this does that create a situation where
[TS]
01:30:35
◼
►
because as I understand it great the
[TS]
01:30:37
◼
►
electoral college
[TS]
01:30:39
◼
►
waiting's a tweet from time to time as
[TS]
01:30:43
◼
►
demographics change
[TS]
01:30:44
◼
►
yes every 10 years with the sensors yet
[TS]
01:30:47
◼
►
so with your suggestion here of this
[TS]
01:30:50
◼
►
supermajority instead instead of waiting
[TS]
01:30:53
◼
►
the votes just requiring the winner to
[TS]
01:30:56
◼
►
get more votes right right a higher
[TS]
01:30:58
◼
►
percentage of the vote yeah are you just
[TS]
01:31:00
◼
►
creating a new number to be tweaked and
[TS]
01:31:04
◼
►
as more and more people move to the
[TS]
01:31:05
◼
►
cities and the rural areas get less and
[TS]
01:31:07
◼
►
less dense you can have to say all we
[TS]
01:31:09
◼
►
need to move this up to 61 or 62 now
[TS]
01:31:11
◼
►
because it's 60 the city still just have
[TS]
01:31:13
◼
►
complete control and oh now we gotta
[TS]
01:31:15
◼
►
move it up to 64 because more and more
[TS]
01:31:17
◼
►
people have moved into the city's it
[TS]
01:31:19
◼
►
just feels like you're tweaking the
[TS]
01:31:21
◼
►
numbers in a different way to have the
[TS]
01:31:22
◼
►
electoral college does it
[TS]
01:31:24
◼
►
this is totally what setting up a voting
[TS]
01:31:25
◼
►
system is it's a question of which
[TS]
01:31:27
◼
►
number are you going to tweak and I get
[TS]
01:31:30
◼
►
driven kind of crazy when people want
[TS]
01:31:34
◼
►
the people at want two things they want
[TS]
01:31:37
◼
►
the system exactly as it is right now or
[TS]
01:31:39
◼
►
they want the perfect alternative and
[TS]
01:31:43
◼
►
it's like okay well you're never going
[TS]
01:31:45
◼
►
to have a perfect alternative because
[TS]
01:31:47
◼
►
fundamentally what governance is is
[TS]
01:31:51
◼
►
compromised right it's just a question
[TS]
01:31:53
◼
►
of how are we going to do this but some
[TS]
01:31:56
◼
►
people are always going to be unhappy
[TS]
01:31:57
◼
►
and so yes if you are looking at like a
[TS]
01:32:01
◼
►
voting bloc and there's a bunch of
[TS]
01:32:02
◼
►
people you want to have a supermajority
[TS]
01:32:04
◼
►
for certain kinds of decisions and i
[TS]
01:32:07
◼
►
think it's it's a fair system to say
[TS]
01:32:10
◼
►
anything especially with like a
[TS]
01:32:11
◼
►
presidential election even changing that
[TS]
01:32:14
◼
►
number by like the candidate needs
[TS]
01:32:15
◼
►
55-percent not fifty percent i think
[TS]
01:32:18
◼
►
would wildly change the kind of
[TS]
01:32:19
◼
►
candidates that you would end up getting
[TS]
01:32:21
◼
►
hurt because you just need like a
[TS]
01:32:22
◼
►
different kind of person to actually win
[TS]
01:32:23
◼
►
that you need someone who actually
[TS]
01:32:25
◼
►
appeals to a broad base of the
[TS]
01:32:27
◼
►
population as opposed to people like
[TS]
01:32:29
◼
►
save the Electoral College forces
[TS]
01:32:32
◼
►
presidents to appeal to a broad wide
[TS]
01:32:35
◼
►
range of the population but i think it
[TS]
01:32:37
◼
►
is pretty clear in practice like that
[TS]
01:32:39
◼
►
doesn't action
[TS]
01:32:40
◼
►
we happen whereas even if you require a
[TS]
01:32:42
◼
►
fifty-five percent supermajority in
[TS]
01:32:44
◼
►
order to win i think that would have to
[TS]
01:32:46
◼
►
change the way candidates run but yes I
[TS]
01:32:49
◼
►
totally concede that that means in the
[TS]
01:32:52
◼
►
future you are signing up to adjusting
[TS]
01:32:55
◼
►
this one number but i think that's a
[TS]
01:32:58
◼
►
clearer fair thing to adjust how much
[TS]
01:33:02
◼
►
consensus do we require among the
[TS]
01:33:05
◼
►
population to elect a president versus
[TS]
01:33:09
◼
►
how much more should people's votes in
[TS]
01:33:12
◼
►
Wyoming count than someone in Texas I
[TS]
01:33:15
◼
►
like I think that's a fundamentally
[TS]
01:33:16
◼
►
divisive and unfair argument to be
[TS]
01:33:21
◼
►
having this magic number this
[TS]
01:33:23
◼
►
supermajority number which would be twin
[TS]
01:33:26
◼
►
time to time as the country changes how
[TS]
01:33:29
◼
►
is that calculated like in simple terms
[TS]
01:33:31
◼
►
how do you even arrive at that number
[TS]
01:33:33
◼
►
but I don't know how the number would be
[TS]
01:33:35
◼
►
arrived at this is where the debate
[TS]
01:33:38
◼
►
would begin
[TS]
01:33:39
◼
►
I think the simplest starting point
[TS]
01:33:41
◼
►
would be to try to go around and say
[TS]
01:33:43
◼
►
like okay what is the number of people
[TS]
01:33:44
◼
►
who live in metro areas where in large
[TS]
01:33:46
◼
►
metro areas and we're going to require
[TS]
01:33:49
◼
►
the supermajority number to be larger
[TS]
01:33:53
◼
►
than just these populations like
[TS]
01:33:55
◼
►
whatever it is i expect in America that
[TS]
01:33:57
◼
►
would be something like fifty five
[TS]
01:33:59
◼
►
percent right it's not even like a huge
[TS]
01:34:01
◼
►
gap just like more than our current
[TS]
01:34:04
◼
►
yeah so that's my viewpoint I just think
[TS]
01:34:06
◼
►
it's kind of crazy when the argument
[TS]
01:34:09
◼
►
starts out as we can't get everybody to
[TS]
01:34:12
◼
►
agree and we need to protect the rights
[TS]
01:34:14
◼
►
of the minority and like okay
[TS]
01:34:17
◼
►
yes agree we're all on the same page so
[TS]
01:34:18
◼
►
far so good and the way we do that is by
[TS]
01:34:21
◼
►
making it so that the minority can elect
[TS]
01:34:23
◼
►
someone who rules us all and it's like
[TS]
01:34:25
◼
►
no no this is worse like this is worse
[TS]
01:34:27
◼
►
I know you're concerned about rule of
[TS]
01:34:30
◼
►
the majority but I don't see how rule of
[TS]
01:34:34
◼
►
the minority is an appropriate solution
[TS]
01:34:36
◼
►
i think rule of the supermajority is the
[TS]
01:34:39
◼
►
appropriate solution for protecting
[TS]
01:34:40
◼
►
minority rights of minority and he has
[TS]
01:34:42
◼
►
that power when the majority split don't
[TS]
01:34:44
◼
►
they like you make it sound like some
[TS]
01:34:46
◼
►
little state decides the house election
[TS]
01:34:48
◼
►
but that's only become the case because
[TS]
01:34:50
◼
►
the Californians chose a Democrat and
[TS]
01:34:52
◼
►
Texans chose a Republican and if those
[TS]
01:34:54
◼
►
majorities got behind one candidate then
[TS]
01:34:57
◼
►
the little state wouldn't even have a
[TS]
01:34:58
◼
►
chance of having a Saturday the
[TS]
01:34:59
◼
►
president said you just changed
[TS]
01:35:01
◼
►
arguments here because now you're
[TS]
01:35:02
◼
►
talking about States I'm simply talking
[TS]
01:35:04
◼
►
about people voting and requiring a
[TS]
01:35:06
◼
►
super majority of people voting and
[TS]
01:35:09
◼
►
under this scenario everybody's vote is
[TS]
01:35:11
◼
►
worth the same so someone in Hawaii
[TS]
01:35:13
◼
►
their vote is worth just as much as
[TS]
01:35:15
◼
►
someone in utah everybody's votes are
[TS]
01:35:17
◼
►
the same and we're just requiring a
[TS]
01:35:19
◼
►
higher threshold to actually be the
[TS]
01:35:22
◼
►
that's a different thing from talking
[TS]
01:35:23
◼
►
about a system where we're going to
[TS]
01:35:25
◼
►
require States to win right like the
[TS]
01:35:28
◼
►
totally different things don't you talk
[TS]
01:35:30
◼
►
about minority state choosing someone
[TS]
01:35:31
◼
►
right yeah sorry no i'm talking about
[TS]
01:35:34
◼
►
the minority rural population right
[TS]
01:35:36
◼
►
you're assuming that they are the
[TS]
01:35:37
◼
►
minority population but this holds true
[TS]
01:35:39
◼
►
for any electoral system like I think
[TS]
01:35:42
◼
►
it's something that you can see in
[TS]
01:35:43
◼
►
almost any country is this question of
[TS]
01:35:45
◼
►
we need to decide how many people need
[TS]
01:35:48
◼
►
to agree and lots of our political
[TS]
01:35:51
◼
►
systems i personally think are
[TS]
01:35:54
◼
►
intentionally designed so you can end up
[TS]
01:35:57
◼
►
ruling with a small minority the systems
[TS]
01:36:00
◼
►
are not designed to be fair you know
[TS]
01:36:01
◼
►
this is a whole thing but i find it
[TS]
01:36:03
◼
►
interesting when citizens themselves are
[TS]
01:36:05
◼
►
arguing for this minority rule but they
[TS]
01:36:09
◼
►
only ever argue for it when like they
[TS]
01:36:11
◼
►
are the minority group that is going to
[TS]
01:36:14
◼
►
end up ruling was like this is not how
[TS]
01:36:15
◼
►
we run a civilization we need super
[TS]
01:36:17
◼
►
majority consensus
[TS]
01:36:18
◼
►
what are you thinking that breeding
[TS]
01:36:19
◼
►
politics isn't it is like broken and the
[TS]
01:36:22
◼
►
problem is you only get one chance to
[TS]
01:36:23
◼
►
start these systems because it's pretty
[TS]
01:36:26
◼
►
hard to change the midstream because
[TS]
01:36:28
◼
►
it's it becomes or political the minute
[TS]
01:36:30
◼
►
you start the system so
[TS]
01:36:32
◼
►
the age-old problem isn't it you know
[TS]
01:36:34
◼
►
when it's one of the ways why i am so
[TS]
01:36:37
◼
►
dead-set in my videos to not talk about
[TS]
01:36:42
◼
►
particular candidates or particular
[TS]
01:36:44
◼
►
parties because this is the lesson that
[TS]
01:36:48
◼
►
I learned in the very old now UK
[TS]
01:36:52
◼
►
referendum on the alternative vote that
[TS]
01:36:55
◼
►
if I could talk to people about the
[TS]
01:36:57
◼
►
system in general
[TS]
01:36:59
◼
►
almost everybody could agree on what was
[TS]
01:37:01
◼
►
a fairer system but the moment people
[TS]
01:37:03
◼
►
started thinking about their particular
[TS]
01:37:05
◼
►
political party it was like it was
[TS]
01:37:08
◼
►
amazing to see how people would suddenly
[TS]
01:37:11
◼
►
change their position entirely be like
[TS]
01:37:13
◼
►
no you know what this system that I
[TS]
01:37:15
◼
►
agreed moments ago was terribly unfair
[TS]
01:37:17
◼
►
actually I think it's the best system
[TS]
01:37:18
◼
►
because I win under it I find that's so
[TS]
01:37:20
◼
►
frustrating and so myopic right is that
[TS]
01:37:22
◼
►
mistake you're making
[TS]
01:37:24
◼
►
is that your downfall though because I
[TS]
01:37:25
◼
►
feel a little bit like you're in a
[TS]
01:37:27
◼
►
battle for hearts and minds here and
[TS]
01:37:28
◼
►
you'd like people to see the right path
[TS]
01:37:31
◼
►
and if they're watching some utopian
[TS]
01:37:34
◼
►
cgpgrey video where politics doesn't
[TS]
01:37:37
◼
►
exist and everything's perfect and
[TS]
01:37:39
◼
►
idealized like you can win that argument
[TS]
01:37:41
◼
►
you know because you're smart you were
[TS]
01:37:43
◼
►
but the minute your argument falls into
[TS]
01:37:45
◼
►
the real world where the argument
[TS]
01:37:47
◼
►
actually does have to be one you say
[TS]
01:37:49
◼
►
that it gets you know it it all gets
[TS]
01:37:52
◼
►
drowned out by the shouting and the
[TS]
01:37:53
◼
►
idiots don't you need to find a way to
[TS]
01:37:56
◼
►
take this argument into the real world
[TS]
01:37:57
◼
►
and persuade people it's not that it
[TS]
01:37:59
◼
►
gets drowned out is that people are
[TS]
01:38:01
◼
►
likely to revert to their previous
[TS]
01:38:03
◼
►
position when they realize the thing
[TS]
01:38:05
◼
►
that they agreed on was the fair system
[TS]
01:38:06
◼
►
will disadvantage them in particular
[TS]
01:38:09
◼
►
yeah i totally agree that this is a
[TS]
01:38:12
◼
►
thing that people do and you know at
[TS]
01:38:16
◼
►
least right now I'm still I'm still
[TS]
01:38:18
◼
►
relatively riled up about that although
[TS]
01:38:21
◼
►
just to be clear like at the time of
[TS]
01:38:23
◼
►
this recording there are some reports
[TS]
01:38:25
◼
►
that the popular vote win might switch
[TS]
01:38:28
◼
►
because it is incredibly close like you
[TS]
01:38:32
◼
►
know there's absentee ballots being
[TS]
01:38:33
