Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
All right, almost ready. There we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. You've never had a better time.
But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cover mug or a glass of tanker chalice, 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 of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. That's right. Go. Oh, thank you, Paul. Everything's working today. Good to know. Well, I wonder if there's any science that they could have saved some money by asking me. Oh, here we go.
According to SciPost, Bianca Setianago is writing, there was a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, and they found that simply imagining natural environments can reduce your stress and promote relaxation more so than imagining an urban setting. Uh-huh, that's right. Imagining nature can make you feel better than imagining an urban setting.
Huh, I wonder if there's any way they could have gotten to that result faster and with less expense. Anyway, anyway, oh yeah, you could have asked me. Or you could have asked anybody who's ever been trained as a hypnotist because it's lesson number one.
I think it's literally the first thing we learned, that if you make somebody close their eyes and imagine a nature scene, that their body will relax. Literally, I think it's the first thing you learn. So yeah, you could have just asked me about that next time. Next time do that. According to Zero Hedge, the House has passed a bill, which means it hasn't passed the Senate yet.
requiring proof of citizenship to vote. So it's called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE. And it passed with a little bit of margin. Yeah, even four Democrats joined in. Interesting. So Chip Roy is the sponsor for this. And it would amend the National Voter Registration Act also to require states to obtain proof of citizenship in person from people registering to vote.
So you better bring your ID. But it even goes further, and it requires states to establish programs to remove illegal immigrants from existing voter rolls. And it allows U.S. citizens to sue election officials who don't adhere to the proof of citizenship requirements. Oh, that's interesting. So it allows individuals to do the suing. Now, I saw somebody's comment that this will never fly.
Even if it gets passed, the Supreme Court will knock it down, some say, because the states have, I think what was described as an ironclad control over how voting is done. But I'm not so sure. I'm no Supreme Court expert.

Chapter 2: How can imagining nature reduce stress?
Trump's a bigger bully. And we've never seen anybody like it. Now, is it a good idea to risk everything? I'm not even going to say this. I'm just going to say those are your choices. suck it up and be abused for the rest of whatever's left of the United States, which might not last long since China seems to have designs on controlling the world, or you risk everything.
Doesn't mean you lose everything. Doesn't mean you lose everything. Because sometimes you can scare a bully away, but you have to be the bigger bully by far. So what do you do? So those are two choices you don't want, right? And it's really easy to do the do-nothing choice and just put up with it and just... It gets worse, but then you get used to it.
You just put up with it until your country is toast. But you hope it's not today. You're just trying to get through today. Or you risk everything. put an end to it.
Now, I have a hypothesis that the way, and this wouldn't be for every single person, but if you don't have a direct trading relationship with China, in which case you would be biased toward your own business interests, which would be fine. I think how you see the situation
of this abusive relationship is that you would handle it the same way you would do it in person in other words if you're the kind of person who says god i'm just going to put up with the abuse then you're probably the same person who says why can't we just you know get along with china you know just sort of do what we were doing before and keep asking if they'll do better
That's probably what you would do in your personal relationship because that would be your level of risk for that sort of thing. But there are other people who would say, you know what? I've reached the end of my patience. I'm going to risk everything. Might he kill me? Yes. But it's better than this life. It's better than this life. And there are a lot of you like that.
How many of you have dealt with the bully the only way you can? Some of you. How many of you have been in an abusive relationship and said, you know what? I'm going to walk out of here with my bare fucking feet because I'm done. I'm just fucking done. That's some of you.
So it's just a hypothesis, but I'll bet you the way you would deal with an abusive relationship in person has a lot to do with how you're looking at this China situation. I'll bet there's a pretty good Venn diagram overlap. And so I'm going to offer you a trap door, an escape. I'm going to offer you another option, one that's not on the table right now. So this is the hypnotist take.
So if I were in charge, I would use my hypnosis background to say, all right, if you only have two choices, put up with the abuse or risk everything to get away, how could you invent some new options that just don't seem to exist? And I'll give you a couple. One option would be to negotiate with China and say, here's the deal, China.
