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 Cold Coffee with Scott Adams, and there's never been a better time in your life.
than right now but if you'd like to take a chance on taking this up to a level that nobody's ever experienced with their tiny shiny human brains and the history of the universe all you need is a cupper mug or a glass of tanker chalice a sign a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind and 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 and it happens. That's right. Right now. Go. Hmm. Not bad. Could be better, but not bad.
Chapter 2: How does coffee consumption relate to American adults?
Well, despite the rise in price of coffee, did you know that according to the National Coffee Association, which is where I go for all my coffee information, it's called the NCA, it's revealed that two-thirds of American adults drink coffee daily with an average of three cups consumed per day. Two-thirds of Americans. That means that one-third of Americans are sad and tired all the time.
They don't know what the problem is. One-third. Sorry about it, one-third. A Data Republican on X. If you don't follow Data Republican, you should. It's one of the better accounts. And what Data Republican does is data, but does it really well with AI. And has now developed a new tool called that you can use that's a DEI funding detector.
Chapter 3: What is the new DEI funding detector tool?
It's still in beta, but apparently what it can do is it can scan the billions in federal awards and IRS filings, and then it uses AI to look through all that data, and it can find even when they're hiding DEI by changing the names. So it's clever enough to say, oh, that's really DEI, even though you're not using any of those words.
So it can uncover DEI-focused awards, reveal mission mismatches, when the money and the nonprofit don't align. It can look for DEI-specific flags, So that's going to be fun as we try to remove all the racism from the world with getting rid of the DEI. And it does a little more. Here's some good news. There's been the discovery of an exoplanet called K2-18b, which is how I refer to it usually.
And they think that it has an alien ocean that may be teeming with life. So there's a 99.7% certainty that the planet has at least one gas in its atmosphere that, at least on Earth, is produced only by living things. Now, what do you think are the odds that that planet is actually teeming with life because there's a gas that on Earth is associated with living things? Is that good enough?
Chapter 4: What discovery was made about the exoplanet K2-18b?
I don't know. I'm not going to wait for the aliens. I don't think. I don't think. But wouldn't it be amazing if we found some actual aliens someday? Don't you want to live long enough to see some aliens? Well, here's the good news. According to many podcasts, we have captured aliens in warehouses in various government facilities. And we also have, oh, I don't know how many UFOs we've captured.
According to people who have said things. So if you can't trust people you don't know who have said things, who can you trust? science um all right i've got a rare recommendation for you of a content that you might enjoy now the reason it's rare is because almost everything on television is trash But I gave a chance to this one thing on Netflix. It's a new series called The Residence.
I'm not sure if there's a thought in front of it, but Residence or The Residence. Now, the first thing you need to know is it's super woke. And if you're surprised that I'm recommending something that's super woke, let me finish. And then maybe I'll change your mind. So it's super woke, but it's about a murder in the White House, and the president is a gay married guy.
All the white men in the story are presented as dumb and possibly criminals. The hero of the series is a black woman who is the most brilliant detective in all the world. Everybody knows her. And she's extra good because she's overweight. And so that sounds pretty woke, doesn't it? Sounds like exactly something you don't want to watch, right? All right, I'm going to change your mind.
So it happens in the White House, and they do these amazing visual fly-throughs of the actual, I guess it's not the actual White House, But they've built a model or a stage, a set, I guess, of the White House that is so impressive. So if you've never visited the White House, you end up getting all these tours that they just sort of work in with the script.
So it's usually somebody telling somebody else, oh, this room is where they have the barbershop, and this room is the pharmacy, and here's where they've got the pool table, and here's where the employees are. So you learn everything about the employee network in the White House, which is fascinating. you know, the hierarchy and everything else.
And then you see the physical living quarters of the White House, the part you don't normally see. And it's just so well done. And here's here's the kicker. The hard thing about watching any kind of long-form content is that they will make you look at the scene that they spent money on, and they'll just make you look at it.
So if they build a scene where somebody is trying to get through the desert before they die, they're going to make you watch that person get through that desert for 20 minutes. You'd be like, okay, I get it. I get it. They're going through the desert. Can you speed that up? It's still desert. Got it. They're really thirsty. They're chapped. Their lips are chapped. I get it. I get it.
So that's me watching most. But whoever did the editing, directing, writing on the show, The Resonance, really did a good job. Because every scene is tight and fast. So it doesn't look like regular shows. It's got a whole feel to it that you haven't seen before. So that alone is worth watching.

Chapter 5: What series on Netflix does Scott recommend?
some kind of rule that California passed that was a rule of new regulations that the state could determine when refineries are allowed to shut down for maintenance. So imagine you're running the refinery and the state gets to decide when you shut down for maintenance. And then there's new inventory storage requirements that would require refineries to build vast new storage tanks.
So basically, these are things that sound good on paper, but the refineries look at it and say, oh, you just ruined the business model. I can't make money in your state. So California, you can't give fire insurance. You can't get gas pretty soon. What is it we're going to be able to get? We won't have electricity. So electricity, gas, fire insurance.
Obviously, you can't drive anywhere because the streets are a mess. You can't really go downtown and shop because it might be too dangerous. We're just really killing it. Well, if you're following the story of Harvard versus the entire United States government, What's the latest here? According to just the news, the Treasury Department is urging the IRS to pull Harvard's tax-exempt status.
Now, why? Well, according to Trump, you can't have tax-exempt status unless you're acting in the public interest. And apparently they think Harvard's not acting in the public interest. The government wants Harvard to do more about anti-Semitism and more about DEI and basically just a bunch of things.
And Harvard has decided that the government should not be telling a private institution what to do. And then the government said, well, very fine, but maybe the Maybe the public should not be giving money to your institution since you're all private. So we'll be following this fight, Harvard versus the United States government. Well, here's something that is messed up.
So remember when you thought that Doge was going to cut the budget and Trump was going to cut taxes for everybody? Well, apparently the Republicans are now considering raising the top rate to 40% for people who earn over a million dollars. So that would be people with a small business that's doing well, for example. They would go from 37% to 40%.
Now, in California, I think I've got like 13.3% state tax. So add that to the 40%, that puts you at 53% tax, for example. So Bloomberg News, I guess, was the first to report this. So there are a whole lot of people who support President Trump and support the Republicans. who are going to say, wait a minute, one of the big reasons we supported you is we thought taxes for everybody would go down.
Nope, not you rich people. You're going to pay more. So that sucks. But nobody cares about the rich, so it's sort of a free pass. Texas has just passed a universal school choice bill. By a good margin, they passed it. And I guess the Senate already passed it. It was the Texas House that passed it now, so it looks like it's going to be a done deal. So Texas will be the 16th state.
Corey DeAngelis is writing about this. 16th state to pass universal school choice. So that's kind of big. At least that's going in the right direction, school choice. You remember the story yesterday about Letitia James, the Attorney General of New York, who prosecuted Trump for allegedly claiming his properties were worth more than they were to get a loan.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of California's refinery rules?
And then Cory Booker was trying to lead an expedition of like-minded people to go down there and try to rescue him. So the Democrats are going all in. And then James Carville recommends the Democrats go all in on this and just take it balls to the wall and really make it a hill to die on.
And the argument is that if we can let this happen to this one person, in other words, get deported and jailed without what they would call due process, but the people on the right say he did have due process, then it could happen to you. It can be extended. So here's what happened.
So in the time between Democrats accurately saying that there wasn't clarity about him being guilty, they sort of doubled down and made it their biggest thing. And then yesterday it was revealed what he's actually been accused of. And he seems like the guiltiest guy ever. So, you know, it's not like I can know for sure. But apparently he got picked up.
He was arrested in the company of known MS-13 gang members. The law enforcement was told that he was ranked as a higher up person, which has a name. And he had a nickname that is only sort of gang related. He had a tattoo that seemed to be MS-13 related, although somebody is arguing that. He was wearing some Chicago Bulls gear, which, of course, regular people wear that too, especially there.
But apparently it's somehow associated with MS-13 because they like the horns or something. So he's got tattoos. He's got the clothing of it. He's with the MS-13 people. He was caught with marijuana and a suspicious amount of cash. And then credible sources said, oh, he's definitely MS-13. And they gave details and everything.
But on top of that, in 2021, his wife filed a restraining order against him. because he beat her up. He punched her with a closed fist and scratched her and tore off her shirt. And I think it was more than once. So she was afraid for her life about this Maryland dad. And then we heard, according to the Tennessee Star, in 2022, he was stopped
driving without a license, and Tennessee Highway Patrol suspected him of trafficking the seven people inside. So what they did was, after they stopped him, they learned he was on a terrorist watch list. He was on a terrorist watch list. So they called Biden's FBI, but Biden's FBI told them to release him. So he's on a terrorist watch list? Okay, release him. Wait, what?
Yeah, so you said he's on a terrorist watch list, right? Yeah. Yeah, release him. Why? I don't know. I don't know. Now, how much of this do I know is true? Well... I don't know it's true, but it's a pretty long list of really bad sounding things that makes me think maybe the Democrats acted a little too hastily in deciding that they would put all of their weight behind this.
Now, their argument, of course, as I said, is that if somebody like this who maybe is a bad person, but if they can be jailed or deported without due process, then eventually that could happen to your mom.

Chapter 7: What is the controversy surrounding Harvard's tax-exempt status?
And I wonder if he was thinking to himself, well, I'd have to know what she said right before he punched her. Now, that's the worst thought you'll ever hear today. But what are they going to say? Are they going to say, well, Normally, we're against the wife meter, but he didn't get enough due process. Anything they say on this topic is going to sound ridiculously wrong.
So you might as well go for full wrong. Say, I'd have to know what she said right before he punched her. That's the wrongest thing you could say. Well, on X Today, there was a user whose name is Matt Van Swall. And this is kind of important. You know his background. He was a former nuclear scientist at the U.S. Department of Energy. And here's what he wrote.
He said on X, I consider myself fairly liberal up until a couple of months ago. I watch CNN nearly every day to get my news. And after reading the truth about Abrego Garcia on X, I'm horrified at the media bias. And then he says, now I'm wondering, what else did I believe that was just a full-blown lie?
And people tagged me on that so that I could inform him what else he believed that was a full-blown lie. So I just responded to him with a link to AmericanDebunk.com. So if you haven't seen AmericanDebunk.com, it's full write-ups of the biggest Democrat hoaxes, everything from the fine people to the drinking bleach to all the classics. But I would be so curious... about Matt Van Swaal's journey?
Like, is he going to read those debunks and now is he ready? Because if you're not ready, you just start reading them and you go, blah, it's a bunch of propaganda from Republicans. I'm not even going to finish this. But if you're ready, like you've already made the first step yourself and you found out, hey, I'm starting to think this news isn't completely real.
Now, you know what Gell-Mann amnesia is, right? This is sort of where this all came from. It was a physicist who noticed that when he read stories about physics, the one thing he knew about for sure, those stories were all inaccurate.

Chapter 8: What changes are being proposed to taxes for high earners?
But then he would convince himself that all the other stories were fine until one day he thought, wait a minute, what are the odds that every time I know something about this story is wrong, But every time I don't know anything about this story, it's true. And then he sort of reasoned that maybe the news wasn't true in general.
Well, that's why I mentioned that Matt Van Swaal was a former nuclear and is a former nuclear scientist for the U.S. Department of Energy. I feel like if you're a scientist and you see that you've been fooled on an important story in the media and you see it for yourself, that it activates the gel man amnesia part of your brain where you go, wait a minute, just wait a minute.
How many other things have I been, you know, propagandized by? So we'll see. Um, So let's talk about the Carmelo Anthony story. So that's the black teenager who killed a white teenager with a knife. I don't know the details of who started it or who was the bully in that situation. I think it's going to be complicated. But again, I had been ignoring this story because it was one-off. It was tragic.
But it didn't seem to me like it was saying anything about the world in general. Just there was one kind of unique and tragic story that happened between two teenagers that you wish hadn't happened. But apparently my name has been pulled into the story. I really just tried to mind my own business on this and just completely stay out of it.
But let me read to you what Matt Walsh said in a post on X, and then you can see why I got dragged into it without my willingness. So Matt Walsh posts this. He goes, the people supporting Carmelo Anthony don't really believe the bullshit that it was, quote, self-defense. They don't care about that. When the video comes out proving that this was cold-blooded homicide, it won't matter.
They're happy that he killed a white kid. It's that simple. Now, I wouldn't go that far to say that they're happy because he killed a white kid. Because black America is a big diverse group and it might be true that some percentage have that perspective. But people remember that I got canceled. I got canceled for reading a survey

Chapter 9: What is the status of the universal school choice bill in Texas?
that was data-driven, I didn't make it up, that suggested that black Americans had a problem with the white Americans and didn't think it was even okay to be white. And it was something like 30 or 40% of the respondents, which is not a majority, but it's an alarming number. And I said, hmm.
I don't think you'd want to spend much time around a group of people if 30% of them didn't think it was okay even to be you. And I would say the same thing if you reverse the races. I like to use this example. If you were a black professional and you were moving for work and you had a choice of towns to settle in that were both close enough to work,
And one of them was known to have a robust Ku Klux Klan entity in it. And the other one did not. Which one are you likely to settle in? You would settle in the one that didn't have one because you would be safer. So people all make the same kind of decisions. But all I can say is I hope nobody does a poll on this Carmela Anthony thing because I'm going to get dragged into this so hard.
I saw my face was in a bunch of memes. So people dragged me into it, which I just think is funny. You know, it doesn't bother me. Anyway, apparently there's some video they have. They think they have video that we haven't seen yet. But one of the questions I would have of this is, was the white kid a bully? Does anybody know that? Was the white kid a bully?
Because obviously that doesn't justify murder. But I have sort of a trigger. You know, I get triggered by bullies. And I would think about the situation differently if I knew that the white guy was a bully. I don't know that. If it just turns out it was two teenagers doing teenage things and one of them pulled a knife and killed the other, then that's a completely different story. Yeah.
So anyway, apparently I've become... Somebody in the comments says the face of common sense about race. That would be the nice way to put it, so I'll take that. RFK Jr. is getting closer to telling us what's causing autism. Do you remember the numbers that when RFK Jr. was a kid, one in, I don't know,
10,000 or something were autistic, but now it's one in like 31, which would be roughly one in every classroom. Does that sound right? In your experience, is there one autistic kid in basically every classroom? That does sound true to me. It seems to me it would be hard to imagine an entire classroom of 31 kids without at least one person that was identified as on the autism spectrum.
So I do believe the numbers. I mean, that tracks with observation and experience. But RFK Jr. is sure it's an environmental toxin. He's not He's not committing to it being vaccinations or food or pollution, but it's one of those things or something in the air or the food or something. But he also had a point that was kind of good because some people said that it might be genetic.
And I think his argument... Oh no, somebody said that it might be an artifact of better diagnostic criteria, meaning that maybe we always had the same amount of autism, but we didn't diagnose it the same, so now all that's different is we diagnose it. And RFK Jr. says, if that's true, that it's only about diagnosing it, why is it not happening in older people?
