Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?

1.974 - 28.267 Scott Adams

Let's get your comments up here. There we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time.

29.085 - 42.496 Scott Adams

But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tank of Chelsea Stein, a canteen jug of flask, a vessel of a guy, and fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

43.417 - 71.223 Scott Adams

And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dope meaning of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen now. Ah. I'll bet you all voted for that. Am I right? All right. First, we have some news, then we're going to get to all the fun political stuff.

72.264 - 99.214 Scott Adams

But did you know that according to IFL science, Iceland could be the first nation to get solar power from space? By 2030, they're going to put a big ass satellite up there with solar cells and they're going to collect all that electricity up there because there are no clouds. There are no clouds there at all. Whereas you could not put them on the ground in Iceland because of all the clouds.

0

100.435 - 134.515 Scott Adams

But the satellite will gather up all the electricity and it will send it down to Iceland. with some kind of radio waves. And those radio waves are a specific kind that can be turned into electricity. So how about that? Now, if they do it wrong, of course, the risk is that Iceland will melt and fall into the sea. But until 2030, Iceland would be a good place to visit, except for the volcanoes.

135.367 - 163.299 Scott Adams

So sometime between the volcanoes and the satellite that melts the entire country, good time to visit. All right, I'm going to ask you some questions that science has already answered, and I want to see if you're as smart as science. Could these people have skipped the sciencing and just asked you? Here's the question. Do you believe that being kind can make you look more attractive?

165.623 - 196.08 Scott Adams

Do you think that kind people appear more attractive? Go. And the answer is yes. You knew that without even doing a study. I knew that without a study because it's really my secret. I know you don't believe this. I swear this is true. All right, I'm going to tell you something that you're going to resist. But I promise you, I promise you this is the truth.

196.881 - 227.541 Scott Adams

It's not going to seem true, but it's true. In reality, I'm not a very attractive man. No, I know, I know. Seriously, seriously, I'm not. But because of my kindness, I appear to you as beautiful. But I promise you, I'm not attractive. It's an illusion that I put together with my kindness using science. All right, here's the next question from Yale University. They did a little study.

228.142 - 247.499 Scott Adams

They wanted to find out if political professionals are any better than the general public in predicting which kind of messages will persuade people. So do you think that there is such a thing as political professionals who can tell you what a good message is versus a bad message? Yes or no?

Chapter 2: How is Iceland planning to harness solar power from space?

2001.248 - 2024.898 Scott Adams

I don't know, whatever rich people do. No, he's building new businesses. He's putting satellites up. He's going into space. He would do more of that. So we have to keep it in perspective. Here is potentially some good news in the Daniel Penny case. And I can't believe that the public is just finding this out. So his trial started.

0

2025.438 - 2047.616 Scott Adams

And now we have learned that Neely, the person who died tragically, he was the erratic guy who was threatening people on the subway. And Daniel Penny put him in a chokehold. And he died soon after. But here's what we didn't know. When police arrived, he was still alive. And he was already in recovery hold.

0

2048.251 - 2065.721 Scott Adams

In other words, the way he was being restrained when police arrived was not in a way that would be dangerous. He had already released the more dangerous hold for a less, you know, more of a recovery hold, they call it. And he was breathing and his heart was beating when police came there.

0

2066.522 - 2089.844 Scott Adams

Police, instead of giving him mouth-to-mouth because, quote, he seemed like a drug user, so they gave him Narcan instead. So Narcan as if it were an opioid overdose. Probably it wasn't because the Narcan would have worked otherwise. But we will need to find out more about what he actually died from.

0

2090.645 - 2115.619 Scott Adams

But if you tell me that the police arrived when he was alive and they administered what appears to be the wrong kind of first aid, is Daniel Penny going to be liable for anything? This feels like one of those situations where the criminal case will release him and then the family will sue him and ruin his life.

2116.019 - 2135.947 Scott Adams

Because they could probably get a majority, which is all you need for a lawsuit, to say, oh, yeah, the majority thinks you probably did something wrong, so you need to give us a billion dollars that you'll never have. So you'll never be able to have a real job or make money or take care of a family. Probably. But the criminal trial...

2136.895 - 2151.2 Scott Adams

I don't know that you could get 12 people, of which certainly there will be a few people who want more Daniel Pennies and not fewer of them. I mean, could you really get 12 people, 12 Americans, and not one of them?

2151.88 - 2176.123 Scott Adams

wants more daniel pennies you know what i mean because i want more daniel pennies if you can give me a hundred daniel pennies i will take everyone everyone even if they do this even if every one of them you know was involved in this because it doesn't look like he killed him it looks like what he did was it the the very minimum that seems to have been proved

2177.088 - 2205.036 Scott Adams

is that Daniel Penny knew where the line was and didn't cross it. That's what it looks like. It looks like he knew where the line was, what would be a deadly force, and he did not use it. And then the fact that he had already loosened to a recovery mode before the police got there, and there were other people around helping to... It certainly shows that his intention...

Chapter 3: Do kind people appear more attractive?

3714.484 - 3750.362 Scott Adams

So according to Reuters, Democrats are writing a rapid-fire response letter To flood social media and the airwaves with calls for calm and patience with vote counting should Trump try to prematurely claim election victory, as he did in 2020. So, let's say Trump is winning in the landslide, and it's 10 o'clock at night. And he reasonably believes that unless there's cheating, he's going to win.

0

3751.483 - 3772.545 Scott Adams

He declares victory. You could argue he shouldn't do that until the election is done. But in politics, that's a thing that happens. You know, it's not that unusual. If you really think you're going to win, you claim victory. But you probably doesn't want to do that if there's anybody still voting. So you'd have to make sure all voting is done before you do any claiming of victory.

0

3773.506 - 3800.684 Scott Adams

But to me, it sounds like what they just announced is a propaganda and stalling operation until they have time to complete the cheat. In other words, they need to make sure that the media does not embrace the thought that Trump won because they're going to plan to change their minds by altering the vote afterwards. Again, I have no evidence of that. This is not a factual conversation.

0

3801.264 - 3822.397 Scott Adams

This is based on exactly what it looks like. What it looks like is they're telling us very clearly that they're going to confuse the public medium of conversation to make it look like Trump did not win. And again, the hypothetical is we don't know if he won or not in the hypothetical. But in the hypothetical, he claims victory.

0

3823.437 - 3852.042 Scott Adams

So they have a plan to make sure that they can stall that situation long enough that they've completed counting the vote. Now, if that doesn't sound like a plan to cheat, you're not as suspicious as I am. Because that's exactly what you would do if you plan to lose but cheat after the numbers come in so you know how much to cheat by.

3852.782 - 3883.061 Scott Adams

So we do not have any factual, there's no factual evidence of a plan to cheat. There is, however, factual evidence of a plan that would be 100% compatible with cheating. Doesn't mean that's the reason. It's just coincidentally 100% compatible, and I've never seen anything like it. So seems like it's something you need every year, but this year they seem to think they need it.

3885.903 - 3919.575 Scott Adams

Anyway, in other news, the United States is deploying B-52 bombers and fighter jets and refueling aircraft and Navy destroyers to the Middle East. So let's see, where are we? Iran missiled Israel a while ago and then Israel attacked back. And now I think Iran is saying they might attack back for the attack back. I'm getting lost in who's going first and who's going last.

3920.455 - 3946.9 Scott Adams

But as I've said a number of times, and this is not a prediction, it's just a statement of the obvious. Americans are really, really distracted this month, this week, but this month. You all agree with that, right? No matter what happens, the election is absorbing everybody who has any kind of geopolitical interest whatsoever. We're all just totally absorbed by it.

3946.961 - 3979.414 Scott Adams

We don't even care about the government recovering UFOs. Couldn't care less. Just tell us about this election. Well, when we're this distracted and Israel's in exactly the situation they are, if they were ever planning to do a decapitation strike on Iran, it's going to be like in a week. Now, if I were the Supreme Leader, I would do some little extra hiding.
