Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's probably the best time you'll ever have in your whole darn life.
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 is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or 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 that dopamine at the end of the day makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Paul, your timing is perfect every time. I really appreciate that. Well, you probably heard there's a horrible plane crash in South Korea. The only survivors were two of the flight crew, and it was a Boeing.
Chapter 2: What happened in the recent plane crash in South Korea?
And I don't think we know the details yet, but the landing gear wasn't down, and it landed without landing gear and hit a barrier and exploded, and it was just terrible. So there's not much to say about that, except there's a mystery about why the landing gear wasn't down. Part of the mystery is that it's designed so it can't not go down if you want it.
because it'll work on gravity even if it doesn't work mechanically. So it would have to be pretty broken, sort of unusually broken in order not to go down properly. Or was it that they didn't put it down? It seems very unlikely they didn't put down the... because, I don't know, that seems unlikely. So I guess there's just a mystery. We'll find out what it is.
Meanwhile, according to Chris Harrison in the New York Post, the drone activity over New Jersey has taken a holiday and the number of drone sightings has dropped off. So can we eliminate space aliens? Because I don't think they take a vacation at the end of the year. All right, I'm going to take a minor victory lap because I believe I was the one who suggested that the drone activity would
Cut way back at a holiday. And that's one of your clues. Meanwhile, Dalhousie University is talking about building a floating solar still that can desalinate water and generate some electricity. The electricity it makes isn't a big deal, but apparently there's an invention that takes a regular used tire... and puts a little plastic dome over it and just floats it out into the salt water.
And it can desalinate just using the sun. And it actually creates quite a bit of water. So the thing that's special about it is that desalinating without using expensive materials is hard. But here they've kind of done it with plastic and a wick and an old tire. And it makes a lot of water. desalinated water. That's kind of a big deal if you're living somewhere poor that doesn't have good water.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Fiverr's advertising?
All you need is an old tire and some other materials, and next thing you know, you've got fresh water. It's kind of impressive. Well, do you know the company Fiverr? Spelled F-I-V-E and then two R's. Fiverr. It's for finding professionals to do small projects.
Well, they've got one of the typical anti-white commercials where there's a white guy who's dumb, but thank goodness there's a black woman there to show you how dumb he is and how smart she is. Now, I've been using Fiverr, so I've used it several times with great success. I like the service. I've gotten really good people to do projects from it. But I'm going to cancel my account.
Because I'm not going to listen to your PR people shitting on white people. White men, white men specifically. So Fiverr, you can do whatever you want, but I'm done with you. So this is a hard cancel. Don't look for me to use you anymore after I've got to wrap up a project. But after that, never again. I feel like, you know, and...
Probably the PR or the advertising people are the ones responsible for this anti-white guy commercial. But you got to put your foot down at some point. At some point, you just have to say that there's my limit right there. I'm going to cancel you. And it's got to be a hard cancel. I mean, even if I want to use the service, which I do, it's a good service. It's a genuinely good service.
It's a well-executed service. site. But no, I can't be part of that. Well, of course you want to talk about the H-1B thing, which has matured now, so we have a lot more feel for what's going on. So I'll give you a quick update. It appears to me that the following people are all on the same page, I think. Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Stephen Miller.
Now, if all three of them are on the same page, and that page is that we want to bring in the best employees where it makes sense, but we don't want to bring in people that would lower wages or take jobs from Americans, and that's what the H-1B and I think maybe the other visa systems were doing. They were being abused.
So there seems to be general agreement that if you could use it in its best possible way, it would be good for everybody. But if you used it The way it's being used, that's inappropriate. I mean, it's just bad for American workers.
So now that Trump has clarified that he likes the H-1B and he uses the H-1B on his own properties, but Stephen Miller informs us that during the first administration, they fixed the H-1B process or took a shot at it. But under Biden, none of that is still in place.

Chapter 4: What updates are there on the H-1B visa program?
So it appears that at least Stephen Miller and as far away as the first administration of Trump, they were very aware that H-1B can't stand. So they opposed it. They changed it. They tried to tighten it up. I don't know if their tightening would have worked. Elon Musk has said that he also believes you can't use the current H-1B process.
and says that it's easily fixed by making it more expensive to hire foreign people. And I thought to myself, is it really that easy? And I don't know how you'd make it more expensive. Basically a tariff, right? You'd have to put a tariff on people. So if you're Elon Musk and you're saying, ooh, I'd like to hire the top 0.01% of engineers...
from anywhere in the world, and let's say, I'm just making this up, but let's say the government said, sure, you can do that, but it'll cost you 20% more than it would, and that's not going to the employee. The employee's not getting the extra 20%. That extra 20% is just going to go to the government because you didn't hire a citizen. Would that still work for everybody?
Well, if you were really getting the top 0.01% engineer, yeah, you'd probably pay 20% over the market price. Again, not to the employee, but if you had to pay something to the government to make up for it, maybe that makes sense. And then when it comes down to farm workers or people who would take your cubicle job, nobody's going to pay extra for that. You know what I mean?
Nobody's going to pay extra for the same work. For that, they're going to hire American if they can do it at all. So that might work. I think that's in the category of things that are worth a try. But I'm going to revise my current opinion. As one idiot online called it, backpedaling. How many of you are offended by people who learn new things and then modify their opinion?
Are any of you offended by that? Do you feel like I'm less... I'm less of a person if new information causes me to modify my opinion a little bit? Because I'm going to modify my opinion a little bit, right? Here's what I think. I think that this, of course, is a political and economic issue, but it's also an emotional one, and it's very personal to a lot of people.
It's not personal to everybody, but to a lot of people, it's really personal. And if you ignore the personal part... you're not seeing the whole field. So here's my current understanding, and I called it what I learned this week. All right? It goes like this. They're asking white American workers to accept DEI, which they are accepted right now.
In corporate America, DEI is pretty much everywhere, even though some companies are backing off. And we do think that the government will get rid of DEI in the government. But so far, I haven't seen a direct statement that DEI would be made illegal in corporate America.
So here's the thing that I think that I underestimated, and this is one of those ivory tower things, because if you're out of the cubicles for a while, as I am, you can maybe forget how it felt. Like I tell myself I could never forget that. But sometimes you have to tap yourself on the shoulder and say, hey, hey, are you really remembering how this felt? Do you really remember how it felt?

Chapter 5: How does DEI affect American workers?
Because the cultural engine is what's driving the economics, so you've got to get that right as well. All right, I don't know if we can get that right, but that would be the goal. MSNBC, of course, continues to be the comedy news network. They don't try, but they're pretty funny.
So they had a little segment I saw today where one of the hosts was warning people that Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are, quote, coming after white people. In what reality are Elon Musk and Vivek coming after white people? So they did that thing that they do with all the news. where they intentionally misinterpret it. Now, of course, they're not coming after white people.
They were talking about American culture in Vivek's case. But that's not coming after white people. It's not even close to coming after white people. And they said, quote, they come in for you. They said, y'all are white and lazy. Nope. Nope. Nope, Vivek did not call anybody white and lazy. That did not happen in any world. He did say that America might need a culture upgrade of its own.
And I think criticizing America, if you're an American, is always fair. We can't stop doing that. It's one of our superpowers. We can criticize, we can fight it out, we can improve. So even if you don't like what Vivek said, don't imagine that something else it's not about white people. And it's certainly not saying that, you know, India is superior. None of that happened in the real world.
That didn't happen. You just criticize our current culture, thought it could be better. That's a fair conversation. Even if you disagree, it's a fair conversation. All right. Um, but it turns out that, uh, The MSNBC, I finally figured out what those letters mean. I think MSNBC stands for misinterpreting some normal business of conservatives.
Misinterpreting some normal business of conservatives, because that's their entire program. Trump said the neo-Nazis are fine people. No, he didn't. He didn't say that. It sounds like you're misinterpreting some normal business of conservatives. Vivek Ramaswamy is coming after white people. No, he's not. He's not.
I think you're misinterpreting some normal business of conservatives because they like to have conversations with each other about what's working and what isn't. You know, normal, normal business. Well, it made news that CNN was not mean to RFK Jr. in a clip. So I feel like things are changing. And RFK Jr.
's mission to fix our food supply has gone now to, I think, something that is absolutely 100% nonpolitical. And I think the moms are weighing in in a way that is going to be really, really important to the future. Uh, I think there are enough moms who are seeing all these chronic illnesses with their kids that they have to deal with every day.
And, you know, they've got the, the empathy, but also the work it causes the disruption in family life, all of that. And I think they're done. So CNN, the air just had a clip in which they talked to some mom who was, uh, saying she didn't like GMOs and vaccines and corporate greed. And Zen Honeycutt is the name of the mom.
