Chapter 1: What is the purpose of the simultaneous sip?
A cup or mug or a glass, a tank or Chelsea Stein, 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. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Well, let me ask you this. If you feel like after that sip,
You have a little bit less head and neck cancer. It's not your imagination. Because according to The Guardian, there's some research that says that people who have four coffees a day have 17% lower chance of head and neck cancer. Thank you very much. Feeling pretty good in the neck and head area. The rest of me is a mess, but my neck and head, perfect.
All right, did you know, according to Neoscope, that teenagers today are way down on drug use? Did you know that? It's like way down. So research, the trend is unprecedented, they say. And the experts are puzzled because they can't figure out why teens are abstaining from drugs more than ever before. So I don't know the answer to that question, but I can give you one possibility.
One possibility is that the mix of students has changed quite a bit. If I look at my local schools, there's quite a big increase in immigrants, basically. So I wonder if the people coming from other countries have the same rate of drug use as the ones that are already here. Specifically, well, yeah, just in general, I wonder if they have the same drug use. Probably not.
So some of it might be immigration. But some of it might be that when marijuana became legal, old people like me started doing it. And it became super uncool to do what your grandfather was doing. Could be that. Could be that. It could be that they're getting their dopamine from another source. Maybe they're just getting it from their phones instead, and it's sort of a dopamine replacement.
But I will tell you that locally, I was impressed at how low the drug use and drinking is in the teenage years, at least what I can determine through people who know people who know people. It does seem lower. It matches observation. So New York Post had some new photos from a never-before-seen, a never-contacted tribe in the Amazon.
So there are a few hundred people in this tribe that have never had contact with anybody outside their tribe, at least in our lifetime. And I guess there are a bunch of them. So there are a bunch of these little tribes that have never had contact. Now, the reason they don't have contact is that the government of Brazil, for example,
knows that if they do get contacted, they may not have resistance to all the diseases that we're used to. So it might just kill them. Just contact with us would give them all kinds of diseases. But so somebody put some kind of like a trail cam or something. So they weren't there in person to take the pictures, but they got the picture remotely.
And how wild is it that there's a tribe that doesn't know there are things like computers and phones and airplanes? Just think about that. So you're this tribe in Africa, not Africa, in Brazil. You've never seen any civilization outside of your little tribe. They're all just running around naked with sticks and bows and arrows. And you see an airplane fly over. What are you going to think that is?

Chapter 2: How is drug use among teenagers changing?
But I ask you, is Biden at least being consistent? You have to give him credit for being consistent, right? And by consistent, I mean every single fucking thing he does is bad for the country. Every fucking thing he did was bad for the country. Everything. Every fucking thing. And this is just more of that. You could pick any topic randomly and say, well, what's the common sense thing to do?
And what's the fucked up stupid thing that's bad for the country? Oh, which one did he pick? Surprise. He picked the fucked up dangerous one. So more people will die because of these decisions. He just let out murderers, the worst ones. No, well, I'm sorry. He didn't let them out of jail. I think he just took away the death penalty part. I think. Pretty sure of that. So let me correct myself.
He's not letting him out of jail. He's just taking away the death penalty part. I think that's true. So that wouldn't make anybody too much in danger except the other people. in prison, I guess, because some of them killed people in prison. So now they get to stay in prison instead of being executed, I guess.
Anyway, so some people think that Sam Bankman Freed, who was the number two donor to the Democrats before he got in jail, that he might get pardoned. I think I see Elon Musk said, you know, he just assumes that's going to happen. There is precedent for it. Didn't Bill Clinton pardon one of his big donors who was in jail?
So if we're going to allow presidents to have pardoning powers, we do have to expect this kind of thing. We do have to expect that some bad people would be pardoned. So I'm going to choose not to complain about it too much because it works both ways. Everybody in the job does it. Meanwhile, Trump made some news. at TPUSA, big event.
And he used his line, which always gets a big applause with his crowd, quote, woke is bullshit. Woke is bullshit. Now, you could bring in a thousand professional communicators and you could say, all right, you professional communicators, the best in class, I want you to make a statement about, you know, wokeness and this category.
And then the professional communicators would say stuff like, well, all things considered when we've, you know, blah, blah, blah. Now, in the larger perspective, we'd like to preserve our diversity, but it should be noted that maybe there was a little overreach and we went a little too far. Maybe we should tighten it up a little bit. That's what the professional communicators would say.
Here's what a good communicator would say. Woke is bullshit. You can't beat that. You can't beat that. You could try all day long. You could bring a conference of the best communicators in the world. You wouldn't beat that. Now, part of the magic of it is that it's inappropriate. Trump uses inappropriate exactly the way you should.
You've seen me interview my friend and expert on memory and cognitive stuff. Carmen Simon, Dr. Carmen Simon. And she teaches that it's the things that are out of context, the things that are surprising, that stand out. It's like the blemish on the tablecloth. That's what you remember.

Chapter 3: What can we learn from uncontacted Amazon tribes?
that Biden has weakened the competitors and it's going to allow Trump a really good base for negotiating. And I was waiting for like another shoe to drop, you know, something like, but of course, Trump's a big evil lying genius. So no big lying racist. So we don't think he can succeed, but we hope he does, but he's a big lying racist. So, you know, why would he succeed? None of that happened.
Instead, if you had never watched anything about American politics, you wouldn't even know he was a Democrat. He actually said it's sort of like a one-two punch. Biden set him up, and now the great negotiator, and by the way, I think he referred to Trump as a solid negotiator. He said now the negotiator can come in and mop up. Again, I'm paraphrasing. Does that blow your mind?
It completely blows my mind. And here's what I'm thinking. It could be that they're trying to save Biden's legacy, and therefore their own, by showing that it's part of a one-two punch, and without the one, you couldn't have the two. And you know what? He actually sold that to me. I actually bought that.
Because I'm listening, I'm thinking, yeah, Iran is ready for negotiation because of what Biden did. China's ready for negotiation. Yeah. Yep. And Russia's ready for negotiations. It's kind of true. It's kind of true that Biden set it up for a one-two punch. But then he also dropped in that when they took over, the military wasn't in good shape. So they've strengthened the military.
Everybody says that. But could it be that the big play is military spending?
and the best way they can get trump to do military spending is say you did a great job on this negotiating uh glad you got that done we set you up you know we got you ready for success and so you took it home thanks for that but we set you up for that um and but we all agree that we have to spend massively to rebuild the military And then the military is happy.
The military industrial complex says, oh, you're going to spend massively to buy new stuff from us? Okay. We like this president. So it could be that as long as you're on the page of we're going to spend massively for new weapons, everybody likes you and you can be president. So I don't know how Doge is going to save money if the military industrial complex is going to be fed by
So we'll see where this goes. But that was a heck of a surprising conversation. Meanwhile, you'd be surprised to know there's a new battery breakthrough, sodium ion batteries. So a sodium ion battery would use more common materials and not these rare things that have to be mined in the Congo. And they're not quite up to lithium performance, but they made a new tweak recently.
by adding some sodium vanadium phosphate with the chemical formula of NAXV2PO43, which is exactly what I was going to suggest. I was like, have you tried the sodium vanadium phosphate? And then they'd say, no, we haven't. And I'd say, you should try that. You should try it. But they did try it even without my advice. Good for them.
