Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
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. 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 for that is a cup or mug or a glass or tank or chalice or stand, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Good morning, Paul. Thank you. Looks like all of our systems are working today. Well, would you like to hear some potentially good science news? Yes, you would.
Chapter 2: What new science news does Scott share?
I can see your heads are nodding at home. Well, there's a new biodiesel that's 45 times more efficient, and it's cleaner. How about that? Coming from Washington University McKelvey School of Engineering. Now, the two researchers, the colleagues, Joshua... Juan and Susie Day. Juan and Day. So diesel fuel will be more efficient. Juan Day. That's right. Dad joke applied to science.
Yeah, so apparently they have some gigantic breakthrough. It's going to take a while, of course, to turn it into something useful. But it's electro-biodiesel, 45 times more efficient and cleaner than alternatives for our big trucks. Exciting. Exciting. Now, do your climate models have any kind of variable for improving their efficiency by 45%? No.
Chapter 3: How does Justin Trudeau's immigration policy relate to Trump?
Meanwhile, Justin Trudeau announces that Canada is going to limit the number of immigrants over the next three years. Turns out, They just figured out they had too many immigrants to be able to absorb them all. Now, question, was that going to happen on its own? Or is that entirely because Trump made it safe?
Because as long as Trudeau doesn't look as mean as bad old Trump, he's got room to operate, right? He just couldn't be the toughest guy on immigration in our area of the world. So I think this is Trump. Am I wrong? Was this coincidentally going to happen right now, that he was going to limit immigration? So I don't know much about Canada, but it seems to me that Trump made this possible. Maybe.
Meanwhile, Brendan Carr, who's been nominated for FCC... He's on the FCC. But he is one of the people that should be in the pirate ship or the founders. If you're not watching Brendan Carr's work, especially on social media, but mostly behind the scenes doing the real work, he's one of the good guys, like one of the really good guys. So he's working hard to get rid of the censorship regime.
Chapter 4: What are Brendan Carr's views on the FCC's goals?
And he said this. He said the FCC's most recent budget request said that promoting DEI was the agency's second highest strategic goal. Can you even register that in your head? That the FCC's second highest strategic goal, and they put it in writing, was DEI. Their second highest goal was to be racist. And we allowed that to just sort of exist.
And now Brendan Carr is going to come in and dismantle that right away. And I have two words to say to Brendan Carr. Thank you. I sat there for a while thinking how to respond to that. It was a post on X. I thought, how do you respond to that? I've been racially discriminated against in employment. Since the mid 80s, you all know my story, right?
I got my career ended in the bank because they said I'm a white guy. They can't promote me. They said that directly. You know, I'm not making it up. I'm not reading between the lines. They said, we can't promote you. You're a white guy. And it doesn't look like that's going to change. So I changed jobs to Pacific Bell. And I got in the management track.
But one day my boss called me in and said, word came down, we can't promote you because you're white and male. And I said, how long does that take? And they said, indefinite. And so I quit and I became a cartoonist and started competing against other cartoonists who were sometimes in the DEI category and they were doing great, but Dilbert also succeeded.
Chapter 5: How does Scott Adams feel about DEI and its impact on free speech?
However, the entire Dilbert career was thrown in the trash because of one comment I made that wouldn't have really bothered anybody if they understood it in context. But if we live in the DEI world, then when you complain about racism, but you're white and male, the world says he is a racist. And I say, wait a minute, wait a minute. Did you even hear what I said? I was complaining about racists.
I was complaining about races. I'm looking for the anti-racist world. But in the DEI world, I get canceled because I can't even talk. Don't even have free speech. But Brendan Carr wants me to have free speech on all the platforms. He wants me to have free speech and he wants to get rid of DEI, which is pure racism. And I can't even begin to tell you how happy that makes me.
To me, this is like watching the Trump administration come in and have people who are going to be dismantling DEI. This is the end of a very long road for me. A very long road. Now, I'm not going to compare my situation to slavery in the United States or Jim Crow. I mean, it's not those things. I understand those are a different level.
But it has been the bane of my existence since I entered the workplace. And now, after it doesn't matter to me because I'm well beyond that point where it matters, but at least it'll get fixed for somebody else. At least it'll get fixed. America, self-correcting. There's a story that I believe is fake news that said that Mitch McConnell was not in favor of recess appointments.
and that there wouldn't be any. I think that was withdrawn as fake news, because there's no confirmation of it this morning, and whoever, the person who first brought it up has removed it. So I think you can put that out of your mind. I don't think that's real, but maybe something will change. According to Axios, who's making up some fake news, this is real news that's fake news.
So it's both real and fake. What makes it real is that, of course, it's real. I'm going to tell you something that's so obvious that you wouldn't need any news entity to tell you. You would just say, well, of course, that's real. But the part that's fake is there's news. So it's real. But why is this news? Here's their news.
That Elon Musk has quickly become an influential figure in Trump's inner circle. We knew that. But there are signs of tension. between Musk and longtime Trump advisors over cabinet appointments and stuff. People, that's the way it's supposed to work. Wouldn't you be a lot more worried if there were no tensions about who gets appointed? Are you serious?
Those of you who have spent a second in the real world, it's the tension you need. You don't need the agreement. It's a pirate ship. It's not a pirate ship full of agreeers. It's not the founders who all had the same idea about the Constitution. Have you heard about the founders? They had some disagreements. It was a lot of friction. It was the friction that made the country great.
It wasn't the agreement. It was the friction among honorable people. That's the key. Friction is good among honorable people who have good intentions. Trump has assembled honorable people who have good intentions. Do I want to see a little friction out of it? Yes, I do. I want to see a little bit of disagreeing. I want to see some honest back and forth.

Chapter 6: What issues are being faced in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania regarding vote counting?
But I think that I could take that story and say, which I would, you realize that I was railing against discrimination. I said, if it's true that black Americans have this bad opinion of white Americans, which is what a survey said, if the survey is true, this would suggest that we shouldn't have more separation because it looks like it'd be a real problem.
And by the way, I would advise black people if they're thinking of moving into a new town and one of the town is known for having a heavy emphasis of Ku Klux Klan membership, and the other one is not, I would say every time you should pick the one not.
Because although I'm not saying anything bad about any one person in that town, I'm saying that as a collective risk, if you get that many people in the town who are racist against you, well, you should avoid that town. Likewise, Anybody else who has some big community of people of which 25% or a third of them think that you're not worth life, you should avoid them really hard.
You should avoid them as hard as you can. But again, it has nothing to do with any individual. I say, as I say often, discriminating against an individual doesn't help you. It just lowers your choices in life. Fewer people to hire, fewer people to have romance with, fewer friends, fewer customers, fewer bosses. So discrimination doesn't make sense for the person doing it.
And it certainly doesn't make sense for the person who's receiving it. So I completely disagree with any one-on-one individual discrimination because who benefits? It's a lose-lose scenario. There's no argument for it.
But staying away from communities which have said out loud on a survey, or in the case of the KKK, put on outfits and marched around with burning crosses, if that's happening, stay away. Now, I think I could turn the controversy about me into a platform where people will listen to whatever the hell I say. That's what Trump did. And could I turn that into a win? Probably.
When it came to immigration, could I say something that Democrats and Republicans would agree with? I can. I would say we should get a team of bipartisan economists, and the bipartisan economists every year should look at our current situation, and decide who can come in, in general, and what kind of skills we should be filtering for. And then every year you adjust that.
And every year it's not political, it's economic. What did the economists say this time? Well, we need about a million people to pick. And our population is a little low. So, yeah, it'd be nice if we had just a couple million good people who want to, you know, want to become Americans and they've got all the right stuff.
So I could pretty much and then I can fix schools, of course, and I would want no wars and I'd want lower taxes on the middle class. I could run as almost a Republican. that Democrats would say, oh, yeah, that does make sense. Yeah, that makes sense.
