[00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:15.000] Let’s go.
[00:00:15.000 –> 00:00:16.000] What’s happening?
[00:00:16.000 –> 00:00:17.000] Hello, doctor.
[00:00:17.000 –> 00:00:19.000] Hello, doctor.
[00:00:19.000 –> 00:00:20.000] Hello.
[00:00:20.000 –> 00:00:22.000] I feel good to be in a loud coat.
[00:00:22.000 –> 00:00:25.039] It feels like my opinion means more.
[00:00:25.039 –> 00:00:25.679] Dude, it does.
[00:00:25.679 –> 00:00:28.719] I mean, this is freaking incredible.
[00:00:28.719 –> 00:00:31.800] You don’t realize the power and costumes
[00:00:31.800 –> 00:00:33.240] until you got a lab coat on.
[00:00:33.240 –> 00:00:37.399] If we were walking around a CVS, people would ask us
[00:00:37.399 –> 00:00:38.240] for advice.
[00:00:38.240 –> 00:00:40.479] They’d probably be like, is this the right spray for me?
[00:00:40.479 –> 00:00:41.439] Isn’t it amazing?
[00:00:41.439 –> 00:00:42.159] It’s amazing.
[00:00:42.159 –> 00:00:44.759] Like, what is the purpose of a lab coat?
[00:00:44.759 –> 00:00:50.759] Like, why this particular coat? What does this does this provide any protection? Is it
[00:00:50.759 –> 00:00:55.280] good for the act? You want monkey blood on your good shirt? You got to like
[00:00:55.280 –> 00:01:00.439] wear the lab coat because like you get blood. Right. In the late 19th and 20th
[00:01:00.439 –> 00:01:11.920] early 20th centuries when many scientific breakthroughs happened, the white lab code started to symbolize cleanliness and scientific rigor. Not only it made doctors and scientists
[00:01:11.920 –> 00:01:16.480] easily distinguishable, but it also made spotting any contamination easier. That makes sense.
[00:01:16.480 –> 00:01:21.760] Was that a problem back then mixing up your doctor with your scientist? Is that a real problem?
[00:01:21.760 –> 00:01:27.079] Was that what they were saying? It says it makes doctors and scientists more easily to, oh, together.
[00:01:27.079 –> 00:01:28.239] Yeah, they’re both wearing that.
[00:01:28.239 –> 00:01:31.480] It’s not like costumes, like doctor costumes, scientists.
[00:01:31.480 –> 00:01:33.200] Right, you go to a doctor.
[00:01:33.200 –> 00:01:35.280] Doctor, help me, I’m not that kind of doctor.
[00:01:35.280 –> 00:01:37.200] I’m a PhD.
[00:01:37.200 –> 00:01:39.640] I study nuclear atoms.
[00:01:39.640 –> 00:01:47.000] I like that that acknowledges that this is a kind of ceremonial outfit.
[00:01:47.000 –> 00:01:52.500] It’s a priest’s robe because it’s like symbolic more than practical for some people.
[00:01:52.500 –> 00:01:53.760] Well there’s a bunch of those right?
[00:01:53.760 –> 00:01:54.760] Like the judges robe.
[00:01:54.760 –> 00:01:56.280] Oh my god that’s so weird.
[00:01:56.280 –> 00:01:57.439] How weird is that?
[00:01:57.439 –> 00:02:06.099] Because if you had a guy who’s dressed like in a golf shirt with shorts on. Yeah. And in Perinikis, and he’s like
[00:02:06.099 –> 00:02:07.700] ruined judgment on things.
[00:02:07.700 –> 00:02:09.199] He’d be like, fuck that guy.
[00:02:09.199 –> 00:02:10.099] Who’s that guy?
[00:02:10.099 –> 00:02:10.500] Yeah.
[00:02:10.500 –> 00:02:12.099] He’s a regular guy.
[00:02:12.099 –> 00:02:14.500] Like a tank top.
[00:02:14.500 –> 00:02:15.000] Yeah.
[00:02:15.000 –> 00:02:17.500] A dude in a tank top sentence in your life.
[00:02:19.500 –> 00:02:21.800] A dude who’s dressed like Joe Dirt.
[00:02:21.800 –> 00:02:23.099] Also the hammer.
[00:02:23.099 –> 00:02:23.699] Yeah.
[00:02:23.699 –> 00:02:25.919] He banged the hammer to like signify
[00:02:25.919 –> 00:02:27.960] that justice has been served.
[00:02:27.960 –> 00:02:29.300] What a weird trick.
[00:02:29.300 –> 00:02:33.800] That is a, I mean, this is, when you realize how
[00:02:33.800 –> 00:02:38.240] all of society has got a cult aspects to it,
[00:02:38.240 –> 00:02:39.960] like those are people in ceremonial clothes.
[00:02:39.960 –> 00:02:41.080] Yes, yeah.
[00:02:41.080 –> 00:02:44.120] Banging a ceremonial hammer.
[00:02:44.120 –> 00:02:47.199] If not a cult, definitely cult.
[00:02:47.199 –> 00:02:48.199] Well yeah.
[00:02:48.199 –> 00:02:49.199] Yeah.
[00:02:49.199 –> 00:02:50.199] Yeah.
[00:02:50.199 –> 00:02:51.199] It’s like yeah.
[00:02:51.199 –> 00:02:52.199] Yeah.
[00:02:52.199 –> 00:02:54.199] What is the root of cult and occult?
[00:02:54.199 –> 00:02:58.560] Like what is the connection to those two words?
[00:02:58.560 –> 00:02:59.560] The devil.
[00:02:59.560 –> 00:03:00.560] Satan.
[00:03:00.560 –> 00:03:01.560] Sidon.
[00:03:01.560 –> 00:03:05.759] There’s gotta be some kind of connection.
[00:03:05.759 –> 00:03:12.560] Right? The fascinating thing about cults is that when they get to a certain size, we
[00:03:12.560 –> 00:03:17.919] stop calling them cults. Yeah. Like the really successful, the idea is that there’s no such
[00:03:17.919 –> 00:03:23.360] thing as a successful cult. And that’s really just not true. Okay, the words cult and occult
[00:03:23.360 –> 00:03:29.919] are popular terms that should not be confused as one another. So what are the differences between them? The term cult typically
[00:03:29.919 –> 00:03:36.159] is used by the secular media to describe religious or semi religious groups whose members are
[00:03:36.159 –> 00:03:43.039] controlled in almost every single respect by a single individual. Some good examples are
[00:03:43.039 –> 00:03:45.080] hard Christians and Scientologists. But that’s not like a single individual. I good examples are hard Christians and Scientologists.
[00:03:46.360 –> 00:03:47.560] But that’s not like a single individual. I don’t think that’s a
[00:03:47.560 –> 00:03:49.360] good definition. You know I’m
[00:03:49.360 –> 00:03:49.800] saying?
[00:03:51.039 –> 00:03:53.479] By a single individual. That’s not
[00:03:53.560 –> 00:03:55.240] I think that is a group. That’s the
[00:03:55.240 –> 00:03:57.080] classic. I mean, the
[00:03:57.159 –> 00:03:57.919] right. But they’re saying
[00:03:57.919 –> 00:04:00.039] Scientology. Scientology clearly
[00:04:00.039 –> 00:04:02.479] has an organization. I mean,
[00:04:02.520 –> 00:04:03.879] there’s one guy that’s the head of
[00:04:03.879 –> 00:04:06.479] Scientology. But they have like a whole they’re very it’s a very complex organization. I mean, there’s one guy that’s the head of Scientology, but they have like a whole, they’re
[00:04:06.479 –> 00:04:08.759] very, it’s a very complex organization.
[00:04:08.759 –> 00:04:09.759] Very complex.
[00:04:09.759 –> 00:04:15.479] I mean, I think the idea is that the, so the main cult leader generally has like, you know,
[00:04:15.479 –> 00:04:17.000] deputies around them.
[00:04:17.000 –> 00:04:18.000] Okay.
[00:04:18.000 –> 00:04:20.600] You know, he has his own sort of close inner circle.
[00:04:20.600 –> 00:04:21.600] Right.
[00:04:21.600 –> 00:04:22.600] In that case, it’s true, right?
[00:04:22.600 –> 00:04:27.839] The bigger it gets and the deputies have deputies or whatever you want to want to call it and then and that’s how you get a big
[00:04:28.319 –> 00:04:31.800] functional cult right right you know and and
[00:04:32.480 –> 00:04:36.480] I think probably I mean it would be safe to say that a
[00:04:37.600 –> 00:04:39.279] successful cult
[00:04:39.279 –> 00:04:45.920] Passes that barrier between what what the fuck you guys believe that shit to what the fuck you
[00:04:45.920 –> 00:04:52.120] don’t believe that shit like your cult doctrine becomes the like language of
[00:04:52.120 –> 00:04:55.759] truth yeah and then you’ve succeeded like then your cult went that’s like the
[00:04:55.759 –> 00:05:01.079] that you’re one in a hundred million maybe most cultures fail I imagine yeah
[00:05:01.079 –> 00:05:07.519] that but that seems to be just a natural pattern for human thinking and behaving that
[00:05:07.519 –> 00:05:12.519] we, for whatever reason, naturally fall into groupthink.
[00:05:12.519 –> 00:05:13.519] Oh, yeah.
[00:05:13.519 –> 00:05:21.560] And if we’re led by a very strong charismatic person that we think is exceptional, we’ll
[00:05:21.560 –> 00:05:22.560] accept it.
[00:05:22.560 –> 00:05:23.560] Yeah, right.
[00:05:23.560 –> 00:05:25.399] And we’ve talked about this. Exceptional we’ll accept it. Yeah, right like you and I you know
[00:05:25.399 –> 00:05:29.800] We’ve talked about this I didn’t see the function and that like if you like if you’re in a situation
[00:05:30.639 –> 00:05:34.879] That you don’t know how to handle you want the person who’s the best at handling the situation
[00:05:35.560 –> 00:05:39.920] To say here’s what we do. Yeah, and then that’s great then that’s when it works, right?
[00:05:39.920 –> 00:05:44.920] But it should only be it should be situational right it shouldn’t be like, you know everything right?
[00:05:44.920 –> 00:05:45.560] That’s where it turns into a cult. Well, that’s like that that what is that term that? But it should only be, it should be situational, right? It shouldn’t be like, you know everything. Right.
[00:05:45.560 –> 00:05:46.639] That’s where it turns into a cult.
[00:05:46.639 –> 00:05:49.639] Well, that’s like, what is that term
[00:05:49.639 –> 00:05:52.120] that some people that are really smart
[00:05:53.160 –> 00:05:56.120] tend to believe they’re really smart at other things
[00:05:56.120 –> 00:05:57.759] because they’re really smart at one thing.
[00:05:57.759 –> 00:06:00.439] They’ll get a distor, it’s a very common term.
[00:06:00.439 –> 00:06:02.160] I know what you’re saying.
[00:06:02.160 –> 00:06:03.000] It’s at the tip of my tongue.
[00:06:03.000 –> 00:06:03.839] It’s a distortion.
[00:06:03.839 –> 00:06:05.560] But it’s a thing that happens to you
[00:06:05.560 –> 00:06:07.079] when you’re really good at one thing,
[00:06:07.079 –> 00:06:09.079] where you think you’re just exceptional period.
[00:06:09.079 –> 00:06:09.920] Right.
[00:06:09.920 –> 00:06:11.959] And you think you know more about me.
[00:06:11.959 –> 00:06:13.360] You know, like there’s scientists
[00:06:13.360 –> 00:06:15.839] that are really terrible about health.
[00:06:15.839 –> 00:06:18.759] They’re probably brilliant when it comes to certain aspects
[00:06:18.759 –> 00:06:21.040] of whatever it is they study, string theory.
[00:06:21.040 –> 00:06:21.879] Yeah, sure.
[00:06:21.879 –> 00:06:23.920] But they’re knowledge of health.
[00:06:23.920 –> 00:06:27.199] They’re knowledge of how to work their own. Like I’ve talked to scientists like, I don’t think
[00:06:27.199 –> 00:06:30.439] vitamins are important. Like, what the fuck are you saying?
[00:06:31.600 –> 00:06:36.439] Dining crew, good. Thank you. The smart. Sorry. It says the smarty feel that
[00:06:36.439 –> 00:06:40.879] dumber you are, the dumb people think they are smart and the smart people think
[00:06:40.879 –> 00:06:49.519] they’re dumb. If you’re like most people, you’ll likely be very good at something. And you openly admit you’re less competent at something else. However,
[00:06:49.519 –> 00:06:54.360] we’ve all met someone in our work and life who always overestimates their knowledge
[00:06:54.360 –> 00:07:01.399] or ability of a certain topic or skill, where some people are obviously incompetent in
[00:07:01.399 –> 00:07:05.040] a particular subject. You’re like confidently insist they know everything
[00:07:11.120 –> 00:07:15.000] That’s when you start to wonder how on earth could this person be that well stupid in fact This is not uncommon even William Shakespeare mentioned it 400 plus years ago
[00:07:15.000 –> 00:07:20.439] The fool thinks himself to be wise while a wise man knows himself to be a fool today
[00:07:20.439 –> 00:07:23.480] This phenomenon is known as cognitive bias of a losing area superiority
[00:07:24.600 –> 00:07:26.279] so Today’s phenomenon is known as cognitive bias of a losing area superiority so
[00:07:26.279 –> 00:07:29.600] But it does have something to do with you being good at
[00:07:30.040 –> 00:07:37.040] Something and being really stupid at other things because you think you’re smart. What a great insult to tell someone
[00:07:37.439 –> 00:07:47.839] That they have a done crew group. Yeah, that is a great way to call someone dumb. Yeah, what, it’s interesting because that’s what this is the problem with the term dumb.
[00:07:47.839 –> 00:07:51.639] Really what it is, is what are you focusing on?
[00:07:51.639 –> 00:07:56.920] Because there’s very intelligent people that didn’t focus on communication.
[00:07:56.920 –> 00:07:57.920] Right.
[00:07:57.920 –> 00:07:59.439] They didn’t focus on language.
[00:07:59.439 –> 00:08:05.160] They didn’t focus on proper grammar or how to structure good sentence.
[00:08:05.160 –> 00:08:11.160] They focused on a particular act, whether it’s swimming or whether it’s chess or whether
[00:08:11.160 –> 00:08:15.240] they focused on whether it’s playing guitar, playing pool.
[00:08:15.240 –> 00:08:17.720] I’ve had brilliant people playing pool.
[00:08:17.720 –> 00:08:18.720] Right.
[00:08:18.720 –> 00:08:23.319] I’ve never told you about my friend Johnny who could do complex math in his head.
[00:08:23.319 –> 00:08:24.319] Yeah.
[00:08:24.319 –> 00:08:27.399] I mean, not complex, but math in his head. Yeah. I mean, not complex, but math in his head.
[00:08:27.399 –> 00:08:30.939] So what you would do, you would, you would, one guy would have a calculator, and we would
[00:08:30.939 –> 00:08:40.039] do this at the pool, and then we would go 300 divided by 5 minus 4 plus 16 times 2, and
[00:08:40.039 –> 00:08:41.039] he would bang.
[00:08:41.039 –> 00:08:42.039] Yeah.
[00:08:42.039 –> 00:08:43.039] He would just rattle it out.
[00:08:43.039 –> 00:08:44.600] We would go, what the fuck, man?
[00:08:44.600 –> 00:08:45.000] Yeah, what it, what the fuck? And he was homeless. Did he just rattle it out. We would go, what the fuck, man?
[00:08:45.000 –> 00:08:46.399] Yeah, what the fuck?
[00:08:46.399 –> 00:08:48.299] And he was homeless.
[00:08:48.299 –> 00:08:49.720] Did he say how he did the trick?
[00:08:49.720 –> 00:08:50.960] No, he just knew how to do it.
[00:08:50.960 –> 00:08:52.679] Holy shit. He could just count.
[00:08:52.679 –> 00:08:56.039] Dude, he was just insanely smart.
[00:08:56.039 –> 00:08:58.879] But that implied, there was a kid
[00:08:58.879 –> 00:09:00.360] in my neighborhood who could do that.
[00:09:00.360 –> 00:09:03.559] And it was the, he was annoyed
[00:09:03.559 –> 00:09:07.000] because once you are known as being able to do that,
[00:09:07.000 –> 00:09:08.500] that’s all people do.
[00:09:08.500 –> 00:09:09.500] They don’t want to talk to you.
[00:09:09.500 –> 00:09:12.100] They just want to get you to solve complex math and
