Chapter 1: What is the highlight of this episode?

20.8 - 27.423 Scott Adams

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams on

28.157 - 43.665 Scott Adams

I'm fairly confident you've never had a better time, but if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass of tanker chalice, a stein, a canteen jar, a glass of esle of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

44.305 - 66.083 Scott Adams

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. Go. Delightful. I feel connected to you all through the invisible umbilical cord of the coffee cup.

68.525 - 91.261 Scott Adams

Well, give me an update in the comments if something happens while I'm talking, because I think Trump is supposedly, let's see, he's going to be talking to Judge Mershon today. So there will be sentencing. He's doing it over Zoom, right? He's not going in person. I don't know. I'm not sure yet, but I think he's not going in person.

0

92.442 - 129.111 Scott Adams

And Judge Michon has already indicated he's going to do some kind of unconditional discharge, meaning that he'll be guilty of a felony, but won't go to jail. And no matter what the sentence is, they plan to appeal. So Trump will be officially a felon, maybe, but then it's on appeal. So my question to you, dear legal experts, is if your case is approved for appeal, are you still a felon?

130.172 - 156.869 Scott Adams

Because it's not guaranteed you're a felon if your appeal is going through, right? So I feel like you'd say you're conditionally possibly a felon, just like before. So if the legal process has not come to an end, I would say, hmm, seems to me that the legal process is still cooking along. Why would you say he's a felon? I don't understand what you're saying. So the process is still going forward.

157.569 - 184.357 Scott Adams

It could end with him being a felon or not a felon. So why are you saying he's a felon? He should be innocent until the appeals process is over. Now, they don't say that, but I do. Right? It'd be one thing if you said, I'm going to appeal. But given that we could be reasonably confident the appeal will be accepted, at least to be processed, how is that guilty? How does that make him a felon?

185.858 - 212.057 Scott Adams

In what world would I consider him a felon if he's in the legal process? And it's likely, and here's what makes it interesting, I think the experts say the case was so flawed that it's far more likely it will be overturned than upheld. Isn't that true? So can you be called a felon if the process is still going and all the smart people think it will end with you not being a felon?

213.217 - 237.545 Scott Adams

How do you call that a felon? It's like they don't understand the process. We'll see. Meanwhile, New York court... is removing the corrupt judge. We call him corrupt. This is Laura Loomer's reporting. And remove the corrupt judge, Arthur Angorian, from Trump's other case, the civil fraud case.

Chapter 2: Why is Trump considered a felon?

1738.49 - 1762.866 Scott Adams

So you know that there's still a lot of talk about whether climate change is a small cause or the cause or no cause or is that just being political? And I wanted to give you a frame for understanding the climate change issue and one that you haven't seen before. And it can explain a little bit why the two sides can't really talk

0

1763.604 - 1786.137 Scott Adams

You know, the the yes, I believe climate change is an immediate crisis versus the people. Elon Musk would be on the other side, which is climate change could be real in terms of the climate might be changing, but it's going to be slower than, you know, the the alarmist believe. So why can't they have a productive conversation and like figure out what's really true?

0

1786.677 - 1816.934 Scott Adams

And I'll give you my take on that. Sort of the hypnotist take. So if you can see my whiteboard, let me adjust it a little bit. So I just made this up. I call it the climate awareness chart. So the highest level of awareness is at the top, but we'll get there. We're going to start at the bottom. And let's see. There we go.

0

1817.635 - 1842.049 Scott Adams

At the bottom level of awareness, and this is where I used to be as a young man, I would hear that 98, 99% of scientists were on the same side. And I'd say, well, I'm done. There's nothing else I need to know, right? I love science. Science is the best way to find the truth. It's imperfect. It's imperfect. But, you know, it's the best we have.

0

1842.749 - 1869.413 Scott Adams

So you tell me 99% of scientists have been looking into it deeply and they're all on the same side. I'm convinced. And I was. I was convinced. Now, I would say that level of awareness is roughly equivalent to the people who say, how can they predict the climate when they can't even predict the weather? And I don't believe in climate change because it's cold outside, right? So one is believing it.

1869.533 - 1895.656 Scott Adams

One is not believing climate change. But these are both the lowest level of understanding. And I've been at this level. I've been there. If you go up a little higher, let's say you decide, huh, I'm seeing two sides of this. I'm just going to look into it. So you do a deep dive. Maybe you see Al Gore's documentary. Maybe you read the most official statements from the biggest scientists.

1896.437 - 1916.912 Scott Adams

And when you're done with that, you're going to say, okay, okay, I can see whether 99% of scientists are saying it because I've done my own research. And yeah, I mean, it's like guaranteed climate change is a crisis because you did your own research. And then there are also people who do a deep dive on the skeptic side.

1918.173 - 1940.869 Scott Adams

So maybe they never believed the 99% of scientists or didn't want to believe it. So they did their deep dive on the other side. So they only looked at the skeptics' arguments. Both of them would be completely deluded by this process. It doesn't matter which one you're looking at. If you're looking at either the yes, it's a crisis or no, it's not, they both have the documentary effect.

1941.678 - 1956.582 Scott Adams

which is if you look at one argument and you see a lot on that one argument, you will be convinced beyond any doubt. You will be 100% convinced. And that has nothing to do with whether the thing you're looking at is true or not.
