Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
As soon as I get my comments working here. Success. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because it's the best thing that ever happened to you. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a tankard shell.
Wait, no, you need a cup, a mug, or a glass, a tankard shell, a stein, a canteen jug, a 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including Mondays. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. Oh, so good.
Chapter 2: How does Grok image generation work?
Well, I have to start by saying that last night in the man cave that I do just for the subscribers to locals, we discovered that you can make pictures of public figures using Grok, their new image generator, and you could have those public figures appear to be very interested in each other. Now, it's not going to do porn.
But if you'd like to see a public figure making out with another public figure, apparently you can do that because people were sending me a lot of images of me making out with Michelle Obama and a few other people. So after that was done, I said to myself, huh, I wonder how well this works. So I started putting in the images of myself and other beautiful, famous women. Just to see.
No, it doesn't do anything that's beyond PG. It's all PG rated, or maybe G. But it is weirdly fascinating to see how just picture perfect I can do of myself with another person I've never met in person. It is scary. So let me tell you. Yeah, let me tell you, the future is going to be wild. Meanwhile, the X app is the number one news app at the moment.
Imagine being the one that the news wants to kill and he becomes the number one news app. I like that. But the problem is, as others have pointed out, isn't X only the number one news app because it's where people go to make fun of all the news? If all the mainstream news went away tomorrow, there wouldn't be anything to talk about on X. X wouldn't have anything.
It would just be independent people who look at the mainstream news and decide how true it is. But if we didn't have any, there wouldn't be much to talk about. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, if you're using AI as your doctor, it could have even worse cognitive biases than the human doctors.
So they did a test, and they found that depending on how you prime the AI, what question you ask, you might get a response that's a little biased, even more biased than a human doctor. So while AI seems to be an amazing thing for humans, knowing what question to ask your doctor. It's really good for that, by the way.
I don't think the doctors love it, but if you want to just know if you're asking the right questions and did you leave anything out, talk to AI before you have your doctor appointment. It really makes a difference. It's great. It doesn't have all the exact answers yet, but it certainly is a good way to check that you've covered all your bases.
According to the New Atlas publication, chronic pain can be lowered by better quality diet, regardless of body weight. So if you improve your diet so you're not eating junk food, apparently it makes your pain go less. Now, I have to admit... That's not one I would have known if you had just asked Scott. But it makes sense because a good diet will give you less full-body inflammation.
And you would think that pain would be quite related to inflammation. Depends on the pain, but mostly. So yeah, apparently eating well... Makes you feel good. Surprise. There's a study in Yahoo Finance that older workers are the happiest workers. You know why that makes sense, that older workers are the happiest workers?

Chapter 3: What recent issues are affecting China's economy?
Because, you know, the government. So what do you think? Do you think that it's a major psyop? I see my YouTube is down, but it looks like it came back up. Do you think it's a major psyop and that the military or the government is trying to make us afraid of drones so we'll favor our government banning drones, or at least banning anything that would look dangerous as a drone?
I'm going to say maybe, but it doesn't really match my experience of life. It doesn't match it. It's not impossible. It's not impossible, but it doesn't really match what I think. Here's what I think. I think if it were a PSYOP, it wouldn't be so extensive. And it also wouldn't be in every country because we're getting reports from all over the world about too many drones. So I don't know.
I would say I'll put that third or fourth on the list of possibilities. But I'll tell you my current drone theory, if you haven't heard it, I have updated it. I have abandoned the idea that they're looking for radiation or chemical weapons. Now, the radiation part I abandoned because I just happen to know somebody who worked in that field.
And the person who worked in the field, Tom Sauer, says, you know, trust me, I have experience in the field because he apparently searched for WMDs when he was in the service. And there are ways to look for radiation. But without giving too much away about the way we do things, I'll just say it wouldn't be this way.
So in other words, if you had complete access to the ground, it's America, so they have access to the ground. The last thing you would do is try to fly over it to get the radiation signal. You might fly over it, but you'd mostly have stuff in the ground because you want to really get close to the source.
So it's very unlikely that these drones have some kind of souped-up radiation detectors at the height they are. So if you're going to be 1,000 feet in the air, your detecting isn't going to be that great. So it's probably not about detecting anything. So here's my current theory. I'll start with my assumptions, see which ones you agree with.
By the way, the thing I'm going to read to you, I posted, and last I checked, it had 800,000 reposts. And Marjorie Taylor Greene said it sounded like a good hypothesis. And I've never seen more positive comments. So almost everybody who reposted it said, oh, this is very feasible. This might be the answer. And it might be. So this is based on my
personal talent stack, which I improved by 5% by listening to somebody who knows about how you search for radiation. So I had zero knowledge about how to search for radiation yesterday. And now I have a little bit, just a little bit, enough to deal with this question. But I'm also the Dilbert guy. So I'm really tuned into just how any big organization gets anything done.
So I'm going to use my filter as the guy who knows how any big organization does any big thing. And it's going to explain everything. Okay? So here's my assumptions. Number one, the future of warfare is drones. Everybody agrees, right? The future of warfare is drones. Also, it's going to happen really fast. Well, it is happening. It's happening right now.

Chapter 4: What is the significance of Trump's favorability ratings?
it's never over their house in an urban area but if they're passing by is often over an urban area so my guess would be that the drones are as let's say as good a quality as all the other aircraft that can fly over your city so if a regular aircraft can follow fly over your city
and a drone has the same, let's say, reliability, and it's not in war, and it's not doing any maneuvers, it's just flying over, that that would be allowed. As far as I know, that's completely legal, to fly over a city with a drone that's obeying all the rules, it's high enough and low enough, it's got the lights on, and maybe it registered its flight path or whatever it has to do.
So when you hear they're doing things like hovering, which might be misidentified, by the way, sometimes it might look like it's hovering. It's only because it's coming in your direction from a distance, from a great distance. It would look like it's stationary. So some of it might be misinterpretation.
But my guess is if what they're doing is training, they might be doing the dangerous stuff over the ocean. just like you would want them to do, you know, see if you could do figure eights and whatever. But if you need, if you need to just go back to base, let's say to get charged up or deliver something, you're just going a straight line at the height you should.
And maybe that's what people see in the cities. So no real danger as far as I can tell, because they're not sending up experimental drones over the city. They would be sending up things that are really, really, really well flight tested and not in any specific danger. There's nobody shooting at them. All right.
So we're ruling out sniffing for radiation because it's just not the way you would do it. It wouldn't be optimal for that. And the other thing is we've heard that the flights seem to stop around 11 p.m. every night, but they've been going for months. What possible thing would you do that you would do massively as soon as it's dark, but you'd be done by 11 p.m.? That really suggests training.
Because if they were sniffing for, if they were looking for terrorists or looking for something, they would do it after 12. If it were such a national emergency that they would put this much energy into it, they would work after midnight because it would be something existential to at least New Jersey. If they're taking off at 11 saying, all right, looks like it's quitting time.
I'll see everybody, not in the morning, not in the morning, but rather when it gets dark again. That sounds like business as usual to me. So, and even if you look at the theory that it's a PSYOP thing, Even a PSYOP, you could save a lot of money compared to what they're doing. If what you wanted to do was a PSYOP where you've got lots of drones in the air, did you need 50? Did you need 50?
No, not really. You could do a PSYOP with three drones, and you just have those three drones buzz one city that's near enough to D.C. that somebody hears about it. I see your question, ex-boss man, but I'm not going to repeat it. It is funny. All right, I'm going to repeat it because it's funny.
