Scott Adams makes a naughty comment about the reports that Democrats are hoping for a huge wave of young voters in the midterm elections.



"Should you be proud of that?" he joked. "Seriously."



"Young people are the dumbest voters. And I say that with love because I was once a young person. Most of you either are young people or have been young people, so I have nothing against the young. It is absolutely not an insult."



"Every one of us has gained experience by living," he explained, saying the main differences between the youth perspective, and the not-so-young. "At my age, I have the perspective of having experienced something like real news, think about it."











"Imagine you were so young, in your twenties, and you had never been alive during an era of 'real news.' You've never even seen it. You don't even know what it is. That is actually a thing. Imagine that."



"Now there is only bias disguised as news, opinion disguised as news. There's a reason for that. The business model changed as soon as we could measure all of the variables... Did this one get more clicks or did this one get more viewers than the last one. The moment we could measure it, the business model completely changed to focus on what gets the most clicks... Which tended not to be the truth. The truth is balanced and boring, but the non-truth... that will get you some clicks."



"I think Trump is a Nazi," he listed, "I think Soros is a vampire." That's going to get you some clicks.



"So if you're in your twenties, you have never been alive during an era of actual news. You've never actually even seen it," he said.



"What would your worldview be if you were born into a world where the people around you, the people you trusted... where you believed that MSNBC or CNN or even FOX News, it is true on all sides, that you were getting something like the real news. There is nothing like that happening. It used to happen when I was a kid," Scott Adams said. "There was something specific that changed: technology changed, to allow us to measure how people responded to stories, and that guaranteed we would no longer see the news."



"Imagine if you were young, and you had not yet experienced how many times you are lied to," he said. "You're young, you haven't seen a lot of scams. You will. You will. If you're in your twenties, you've got a lot of scamming in front of you. You're going to be fooled a lot of times, you just don't know it yet."
