Chapter 1: What is the main topic of this episode?
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 even the International Space Station can't imagine, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called... That's right. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens right now. Go. Well, the Rumble Studio is working perfectly. All the platforms are in place. Everything's looking good. I had a good night of sleep. I think things are looking up. I do.
But let's check on the news. Anything happening? Well, here's some studies. People find, according to Live Science, Drew Turney is writing about this, people find AI to be more compassionate than mental health experts. That's right. They did a study, and AI is more compassionate than mental health experts. Now, the question that I have is, why is compassion always the right answer?
If you have mental health problems, is compassion the right answer? And the reason I ask is because compassion is a reward, right? So if you want to do more of something, you would reward it. If you wanted to do less of something, you would starve it or penalize it. So what happens when you say, doctor, I have this terrible problem. And the doctor says, oh, maximum empathy. You have that problem?
Oh, I feel so bad for you. Then don't you get a reward? So why would you fix your problem if you're being rewarded for it? But sometimes, don't you think you need the tough love? Don't you think you need a kick in the ass sometimes more than you need compassion? How about, you know, I have no compassion for that. You need to just get your ass in gear. Maybe you need to go to the gym.
Maybe you need to eat right and go to bed at 9 o'clock instead of 2 a.m. Maybe you should do the same thing that everybody else does to be happy, and maybe you can come back. And if none of that works, well, I've got a lot of compassion for you.
But I don't have any compassion for you if you're not doing the most obvious things in the world that everybody does to be happy, and you've decided not to do them. And then you're complaining to me. So I don't think compassion is always the right answer. I'm going to say the human might get the edge on this one. So too much compassion, bad. But some compassion, yes.
Certainly there are problems where there's nothing you can do about it. And for that, maximum compassion. I'm all in for compassion on that. Here's another study according to the Daily Mail. Luke Schaefer is writing about this. Doctors reveal the alarming reason why you should never, in capital letters, never go for long periods without sex.
Did you know, and this is going to shock you, that people who go for long periods without sex, they're not as happy? has people who are having a lot of sex. Did you know that? Well, if you didn't know that, you could have just asked anybody. I'll stick with my theme of asking Scott, but you didn't have to ask me.

Chapter 2: How does AI compare to mental health experts?
is basically every company uh oh this is the other thing i think reid hoffman said that somehow elon musk didn't understand that the government is different from a private company i think he understands that do you know who else understands it everybody everybody literally everybody in the whole freaking world knows that the government doesn't operate like a private company Everybody knows that.
So there's your generic complaints. Oh, he's not using a scalpel. It should have happened sooner. Oh, it should have used more compassion. I'm not sure if it's all legal. No, none of it's organic. It's all performative. By the way, have you noticed how many people are using the word performative? It's now completely part of the Republican, let's say, mega pro-Trump world.
We're seeing nothing but performance. This is completely artificial. And do you know how I know it's artificial? Because nobody's asking enough questions. I saw one video where somebody talked to one protester and said, are you getting paid? And then the one protester said, oh, yes, definitely being paid.
But he might have been joking, meaning that it kind of looked like he might have been pranking, you know, just to send people off the scent. And don't you think that's the biggest question? Shouldn't the news be only about the organizers? Shouldn't they be talking to, you know, as many individual protesters as they can to find out, are you being paid? Now, I'm a little suspicious.
of all the evidence that I'm seeing on social media that suggests they're being paid. I'm completely sure that these are not organic, but I worry that there might be some fake stories being planted that won't check out. So there's like, oh, here's this advertisement for protesters. And then you say, oh, there it is.
There's an advertisement right in the newspaper for protesters or online or something.
you go there it is there it is it's proof and then later they say no no it wasn't we made that up that was just a meme somebody was just joking you fell for it obviously it's not it's not organized or paid for so i'm sure it's organized and paid for by all the usual bad guys who do color revolutions i'm sure of that these are fake there's no way in the world
that people organically decided that Teslas are bad and that Elon is a Nazi. Nobody would come to these opinions on their own by thinking through what they've seen. Nobody. This is purely brainwashing and or follow the money, some combination of those two things.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of compassion in mental health?
And maybe, maybe some other countries are saying, you know what, we'll just pay the bribe because it's a lot cheaper than being attacked. So I don't know how that works. But remember I always tell you that the only thing that you can rely on that's real is that which predicts. Those things which predict the future accurately probably are telling you that there's something real.
If something's an idea but it doesn't predict, probably wasn't real. So one of the things that's interesting here is that Thomas Massey had made the following prediction, and he said it publicly. He said that, I recently said to watch for a new military engagement to compensate for the pullback in Ukraine. Oh, this is good. This is a very specific prediction.
The military industrial complex demands about 50 billion a year from our government above and beyond what's necessary to defend our country. So immediately after we got out of Afghanistan, oh, look, we better pay a lot of money in Ukraine. And as we're winding down Ukraine, oh, look, coincidentally, there's a brand new military conflict with the Houthis.
Now, we've bombed them before or attacked them before, but not as scale. So... I'm going to give Thomas Massey the win for the correct prediction. Right on schedule, another major military action. Now, does that mean that we shouldn't do it? No, that's a separate question. But it also seems, again, to support Massey's prediction, there's always a reason, right? There's always a reason.
the reason may not be one you agree with but we always have a reason some kind of reason oh we better stop russia there uh or it'll get worse we'd better be you know have a big and we better do a lot in afghanistan because that's where the terrorist training camps are their reasons and they're not crazy reasons and attacking the hooties well it's a really good reason It's a really good reason.
But then Thomas Massey went further. He went to Grok, and he said, expressed in billions of dollars, list the five countries and five corporations that will benefit the most from the U.S. military activity to eliminate shipping disruptions caused by the Houthis and the Red Sea. And according to Grok, the countries that would benefit the most
are China, Saudi, Germany, Japan, South Korea, and the U.S. is not in the top five. And then of the corporations, none of the corporations are American, the top five. So this would suggest that America is just sort of creating another reason to spend another $50 billion because the old reason is decaying, the Ukraine war.
And they just need a new military industrial complex or to keep selling weapons. Now that's a pretty good prediction. So I take it very seriously. On the other hand, I went to perplex the AI and I asked the following question. So it's sort of an AI battle here. I said, perplex the AI, um, What would be the change in inflation rates in the United States if the Hootie thing is not resolved?
And according to perplexity, our current inflation rate is around 3%-ish. And if things went the way they're going in the next year, the cost of shipping not just to the U.S. but to other places that might end up as U.S. products at some point, that our inflation rate from that alone could go from 3% to 5% in a year because the shipping costs would just be outrageous. Now, do you believe that?
