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 you've never had a better time in your whole life.
But if you want to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cupper mug or a glass of tiger shells, a steiner 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. The dopamine at the end of the day thing makes everything better.
It's called the simultaneous sip and it's going to happen right now. Go. Well, if you're wearing pants, you might be in the minority today based on the comments I'm seeing. A lot of pants-less viewers today. Some of my favorites. All right, well, after the show, Owen Gregorian will have a Spaces on the X platform. That's the audio only thing. So look for that.
Chapter 2: Why is coffee important in this episode?
If you're trying to find it, just go to my account on X. You can see the link or Owen Gregorian. You could just look for his name and it'll pop up. Did you know, according to Science Alert, that caffeine in your blood can lower your body fat and diabetes risk? Yes, you did, because coffee can do it all. Yep. I like to put it right in my blood.
I just inject it right in there, along with the bleach and the disinfectants. It does a great job. No, don't do that. Don't put any bleach or disinfectant or coffee in your blood. But it's good for you, the coffee part. Well, it's Black History Month, and despite Trump getting rid of all the DEI in the government...
He did do a proclamation recognizing it, and he called out some of the notable, famous black contributors to America. He included Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and then also threw in more modern names like Thomas Sowell and Clarence Thomas. Well, here's my take on that. I think Black History Month was a great idea.
I also think affirmative action was necessary, even though it didn't work out for me. It didn't work out for me, but we probably needed to do something to kickstart things, to get a little more openness and diversity and all that. However, it's 2025. When I see Black History Month, do I say to myself, wow, Black people have contributed so much to America.
Well, yes, that's sort of the point of it. But I already knew that. And all you have to do is turn on the television and it's full of successful black people in every domain, every domain, politics, entertainment. So it feels like having your own month is now, you know, went from a good idea, a solidly good idea, It feels a little condescending.
It feels like it's not giving black Americans what they hoped for. And it just sort of looks like a pat on the head. It's almost like we should have outgrown this by now. And let me ask you this. Do you think Thomas Sowell would be happy that his name was on the list of great black Americans? I don't know, but I'm not entirely sure he'd be happy about being on the list.
And, you know, I'm no expert on Thomas Sowell or I can't read his mind. But here's what I think he'd like a lot more. Some great American economists include this person, this person, Thomas Sowell. How about just being on the list of, you know, really important, unusually effective economists? Now that's a compliment. And then just be done with it.
So I don't think I'm too far off base because P. Hegseth in the Department of Defense said that No longer will the Department of Defense host or celebrate any of these cultural awareness months. Now, if you don't know how many there are, besides Black History Month, there's Women's History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. You got Pride Month.
You got National Hispanic Heritage Month, National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and National American Indian Heritage Month. Well, I call that Native American because I'm not a racist. My God. Anyway, so you could go to these events, but you can't do anything in your official capacity if you're in the Department of Defense.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Black History Month?
It is not so much how they abused the law and work hand in glove with like-minded DC judges to violate the rights of J6 defendants. What sickened me was seeing how gratified they were in inflicting pain on people who had no recourse, no ability to fight the legal and judicial circle of hell created by the DOJ and federal courts in Washington. I often referred to them as sadists.
There is something deeply wrong with them. Maybe being unemployed and under investigation will allow them time to conduct some much-needed soul-searching. But for now, this is an historic day worthy of much celebration. Okay, now that's what I call a victory lap. Julie Kelly, thank you for your service to the country. You deserve a victory lap. So I hope you're having a great day.
So congratulations and thank you. for all of your work on that. So now do you feel sorry for the ones getting fired? Do you feel sorry for them now? I don't. All of my sort of instinct for empathy just went completely away. If you stand in the court and they seem to you like sadists and they seem to you like they're enjoying it, yeah. Yeah, there's got to be a response to that. And there was.
Meanwhile, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, he's made some changes to the news coverage for the Department of Defense, and he evicted the following news entities from their, I guess they have a physical spot that they have control of so they can be closer to the Department of Defense. So he's evicting the New York Times, NPR, NBC, and Politico,
from their Pentagon offices so they can make room for One American News Network, the New York Post, Breitbart, and HuffPost. Now, there's one name on that list that you said, what? Now, I'm sure you understand why you'd want One American Network, New York Post, and Breitbart. You understand those. But why the Huffington Post? Is he just trying to be both sides?
You know, just saying, hey, it's not about being right-leaning. It's more about being a non-traditional media. But here's the thing. BuzzFeed owns Huffington Post, and Vivek Ramaswamy recently bought 8% of BuzzFeed. So maybe this is looking ahead a little bit in the sense that it could be that BuzzFeed is going to take on more of a Vivek Ramaswamy tone. He only has 8% of it.
So I don't know if that's enough to affect a change, but we'll see. And maybe there's some thought that that would trickle down to the Huffington Post that's owned by BuzzFeed. So the only way it makes sense to me is if the Vivek level there is what mattered. So maybe it is. Maybe. Well, on the all-in pod, Chamath was talking about Doge's success.
He says we're only nine or ten days in, and he said the fact that we're already at a billion dollars a day is really incredible, and there's been no discernible impact. I believe that's up to $4 billion a day now. I think Elon said they're finding $4 billion a day now that they can cut. So I'm not going to believe any of the specific numbers coming out of Doge because Doge is...
and rightfully so, trying to make us understand that it's working so that we'll keep backing it.
