Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott?
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 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 cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a slime, a canteen jug or a flask or a vessel of any kind.
Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go. Exceptional. Excelsior. You know who says that? Excelsior. Stanley used to say that. You know, I don't know about you. This is kind of weird. Just start off with something weird.
But ever since Trump stole my democracy, everything seems exactly the same. And I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Because I know my democracy is gone. But I wake up and Everything looks a lot like it used to look. What am I supposed to be experiencing? Should I be losing my right to vote? Could it be some bodily autonomy I lost? I don't remember losing any.
Chapter 2: What strange experience did Scott have regarding democracy?
Well, it's quite the tragedy, having no democracy. But so far, I'm struggling through. I hope the rest of you are making it. Are you all surviving? your complete lack of democracy. Oh, man. Let's talk about some news. Let's call this Backwards Science. Backwards Science.
According to Medical Express News, in a study at the University of Sheffield, Sean Barden is writing, there's this video game called Counter-Strike. I've never heard of it, but apparently it's a very popular video game. It's a first-person shooter kind of a game.
And what they found was, the scientists found at the University School of Psychology, that the experienced and highly skilled players of that game are faster at decision-making and executing a response. So they speculate that maybe if you got people to play more video games... they would also become faster decision makers and faster executing response. Does that sound right? Not to me.
Chapter 3: What does Scott think about the relationship between gaming and decision-making?
To me, that sounds like backwards science, backwards science. Well, let me put it this way. When I was 12 years old, I tried playing football, you know, because everybody plays every sport when you're a boy. And I very quickly realized that football would not be my strength. That no matter how much I practiced the football, I was never really going to be a great football player.
I didn't really have the body or the brain for it. Luckily, so I didn't get any brain damage. But at also about 12 years old, I played tennis for the first time with, I think with my mother, with a couple of rackets that we bought at Sears that were already strung back before I knew that stringing the racket right made a difference.
And the moment I started hitting a tennis ball, I said to myself, huh, I don't know, might be in my imagination, but it seems like I could be kind of good at this because my hand-eye coordination was good. And And so, for the rest of my entire life, until recently, I was a tennis player.
And sure enough, for somebody who just plays on weekends and is a casual player, I got to a pretty high level for a casual player. And so, here's what I discovered. People do more of what they like and what they're good at. And the thing that makes you like something is being extra good at it. Nobody likes to lose.
If you sat me down in front of this shooter game and I knew in five minutes that I would never really be good at it because I didn't have fast reactions, I wouldn't play again. It would bore me. I'd be like, oh, well, lost again. Oh, lost again. But if I sat down and right away I said, oh, I feel like I can be good at this, then I would play it a lot until I found out I wasn't good at it, perhaps.
So I think the science is backwards here. I think the people who just naturally have fast decision-making and execution are drawn to video games. What do you think? Which way do you think it works? I will use my telepathy to hear your response. Yeah, you're right. Well, yesterday I did a little post that was based on an encounter I had with a
An individual who saw me walking by and flagged me down and wanted to talk about politics. I may have mentioned this to some of you. And here's the post I wrote after that encounter. Now, the reason I'm reading it to you is that in one day, it has garnered 24 million views. It's going up something like a million views an hour. Now, for reference, a typical post of mine might get 70,000 views.
24 million doesn't happen unless Elon Musk reposts it, which he didn't. So I couldn't find any big accounts to repost it. It looks like this just has some kind of a nerve with people that they all understood it. And that's the point I'm going to go for. So here's what I posted yesterday. They got 24 million views so far. I said, I just met someone.
I said, today I learned that being a Democrat requires talking over anyone who knows what is real. I just met someone who is sure Hunter's laptop is fake. Trump was never shot in the ear. And there is no evidence Hunter was running a criminal operation. I didn't make a dent. Now, why would 24 million people agree with that? Because you think, well, that's just that one person, right?

Chapter 4: How does Scott describe Trump's negotiating skills?
I mean, it's it's kind of hard to imagine anybody's operating a principle at this point. But I would like to see a little more indication of a crime before I see the investigation. Now, I assume in the real world, sometimes there are investigations under the assumption that there's probably a crime. But I don't know where that standard starts and ends. But I'm a little worried.
I don't want the team that I'm backing to be doing unrestricted lawfare. Now, even if it's getting revenge, nope, not good enough. So this might be totally appropriate. And I'm definitely concerned about this $20 billion. I would definitely like it to be clawed back. I definitely think it looks sketchy. But is there a crime?
I'm going to need to hear there was a crime for me to be in favor of this. Department of Homeland Security helicopters have been getting struck by lasers near the Mexican border. So presumably that's the cartel. Fox News, Michael Lee is reporting on this. And I guess they've been targeted by lasers about six times. Now, lasers meaning not a laser weapon, but like a laser pointer.
Apparently, if you point that at a pilot, it can blind them. So even though it might not do it, if you were closer to it, there's something about the distance, I guess, that could make it blind the pilot. So it's very, very dangerous. And it's an attack. So even though it's not the kind of laser that slices the plane in half, or the helicopter in this case, it's deadly. It's potentially deadly.
And the question I wonder is... I wonder if it would be legal to respond with deadly force. Now, I think this helicopter probably wasn't armed, but if it were a military helicopter, and it's near the border, but it's on our side, and somebody lasers it, could you not treat that as a military attack and just light them up and just take out? Because they know where it comes from.
I mean, they can literally see the laser origin part. I'd be in favor of military action. So to me, that would seem entirely justified. I mean, I don't care if it's a teenager who thinks it's funny. If you're trying to take down an aircraft and it's our aircraft and it's armed, yes, it can kill you. That seems entirely fair to me. So we'll see where that goes. So I was asking the other day.
about the discrepancies in the Social Security database that Doge found. And I think a lot of people were interpreting it as that they found corruption because there was indication that there were a lot of death fields that were set to false or something as if they never died.
And it would give you the indication that there were Social Security numbers that could be used for illegal, devious, corrupt purposes. of people who were actually dead for a long time. Now, when I asked for a clarification on that, I got a good clarification from Data Republican on X. Now, that's an account you should follow. I always tell you you should follow the explainers.
They're the valuable ones. You know, the Mike Benz, the Glenn Greenwald, and I'm going to add Data Republican. It's one word, Data Republican, if you're on X. she's just a great analyst. So she does with data just a tremendous job. And so she gave this answer, which Elon said exactly. So we know that Musk agrees with this exact interpretation. Now, how valuable is that?

Chapter 5: What concerns does Scott have regarding the SNAP program?
because that's the only part your brain is dealing with. So it could be, if we were a simulation, the only high fidelity is this narrow cone of whatever we're really focusing on at the moment, and everything else is low fidelity. We wouldn't know the difference. I know you love that simulation talk.
Well, Elon Musk said he's going to talk to Trump about the idea of refunding at the rate of $5,000 apiece to taxpayers some of the Doge savings. So they saved $55 billion so far. And if they only gave a portion of that back to taxpayers, it would be before somebody says $5,000 apiece. I'm looking at an article in Tech Times by Isaiah Richards.
But here's the obvious question that people in the comments were saying, and I said immediately, I thought the point of Doge was to reduce our deficit. I didn't think it was creating a piggy bank that could be doled out. Now, I like the fact that people could get $5,000. I mean, that would make a really big difference to a lot of people. It's a big deal. But I feel like it might create a precedent
where everybody thinks that the doge savings are a new piggy bank i'm already worried that congress looks at the doge savings as oh that's money we didn't have to spend before but he's reduced our expenses by 100 billion so i guess i have another 100 billion to spend that's not how it's supposed to work so here's the argument for it though the argument in favor of it is that voters are not really following the politics very carefully
They know there's a Doge, and they may have heard some good things about it and some bad things about it. If you wanted them to be on board with Doge before it does the hard stuff, like the Pentagon budget, the Social Security, the healthcare budgets, you might want to bribe them. I can say bribe, but it wouldn't be illegal. It would be all transparent. You might want to say, hey, Doge is so cool.
Here's $5,000. And then suddenly your Doge approval would go from, I think it's over 50%, but like it would hit 60 plus percent almost immediately because people would say, I don't know much about this, but I just got a check for $5,000. So keep going, Elon, maybe I'll get another check.
So if you're looking at it from a persuasion perspective to make it easier for Doge to get the final work done, you know, the big savings, to sort of soften the room, as it were, this would be a way to do it. Now, if Elon is thinking of it that way, as a way just to make Doge more successful in the long run, get people on board, that makes sense. That makes sense.
But I definitely wouldn't want this to be the beginning of, hey, we created some free money that can be used in this way or that way. Meanwhile, The Mexican government says that it seized $40 million worth of meth before it crossed the border. And the Daily Caller News Foundation is reporting this, Jason Hopkins.
And there's a photo of some Mexican authority over six big blue barrels of something that presumably are some kind of drug. And the question I ask is this. How do we know what's in those barrels? Is it possible that the Mexican government, working with the cartels, just says every month or so, all right, do you have those blue barrels? Yeah, we got six blue barrels.
