Episode notes
January 6 Framing As A Sustained Hoax
- Scott Adams argues the January 6 narrative was a sustained hoax built by media and political actors to reframe protesters as insurrectionists.
- He says the hoax worked because no mainstream outlet asked attendees why they were there, allowing a false story to dominate.
System Change Over Single Goals
- Adams praises RFK Jr.'s vaccine schedule review and frames it as system-level reform, not just a goal change.
- He credits Trump with assembling unconventional teams to achieve high-risk policy shifts like this.
Use Authentic Frames In Persuasion
- Avoid inauthentic talking points when persuading voters; forced narratives backfire.
- Use authentic frames that connect broadly, like affordability, instead of manufactured weirdness attacks.
