Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?

1.505 - 32.617 Scott Adams

All right, today I'm going to be practicing my segues. Segues meaning transition from one story to the other. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and Honestly, you've never had a better Friday. I mean, you've had a good Friday, but you've never had one this good.

33.878 - 50.27 Scott Adams

But if you'd like to take your 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 or tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

51.167 - 73.583 Scott Adams

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, the simultaneous sip. It happens right now. Go. Terrific. That's the good stuff. Rawr. All right, you ready for this?

Chapter 2: How does sleep quality relate to belief in conspiracy theories?

76.286 - 104.781 Scott Adams

So according to a study that's being written about in The Conversation, Daniel Jolly and Ewan Dinick, they say that there's a new research that shows that poor sleep quality can make you believe in conspiracy theories. Has anybody had that experience where you wake up and you didn't have a good sleep and all of a sudden you're like, oh, we didn't land on the moon? Anybody? No?

0

107.042 - 129.814 Scott Adams

But here's what's wrong with this study, according to me. The way they studied whether sleep determines how much you believe in a conspiracy theory is they came up with a fake one, and then they just had people evaluate the fake one. And then toward the end of their article about how they've done this research,

0

130.572 - 160.396 Scott Adams

They talked about how important it is to understand conspiracy theorists because conspiracy theorists might be involved with vaccine hesitancy, climate change denial, and violent extremism. So here's the problem with that kind of research. It really kind of requires that the researchers either use a conspiracy theory test that nobody really believes as a real conspiracy theory.

0

160.597 - 186.769 Scott Adams

That's just sort of a made up one. But as soon as they test anything that's real, as in people really believe it, like vaccine hesitancy or climate change, then they need to be the judges of what's true and what's a conspiracy. And I'm not sure they're good at it. What if the researchers themselves didn't get enough sleep?

0

188.339 - 216.439 Scott Adams

They would come to work and they'd be like, I don't think we landed on the moon. How much sleep did you get? I got about four hours. I couldn't wait to get to work. Yep. So I think you would need to be extra smart to see that conspiracies are real. So here's what I think. I think if you don't get enough sleep, your brain will still want to give you an answer to anything that's confusing and

217.233 - 243.098 Scott Adams

So the less sleep you get, the more likely you might glom onto some simple conspiracy theory. But the real conspiracy theories, you know, the ones that have lots of detail and you'd have to really understand how all the moving parts work. Like later, I'm going to tell you about the Biden administration completely ending free speech in America or attempting to.

244.179 - 268.991 Scott Adams

And it has a whole bunch of moving parts. you would have to be really unsleepy to even understand the whole conspiracy before you could even have an opinion on it. So I've got a feeling that the two things that make you believe in conspiracies are being sleepy, but also being very awake. The two extremes.

269.631 - 295.374 Scott Adams

The place where you're probably not believing in the conspiracies is, oh, you had a pretty good sleep, but... You're not really keyed into all the details of what's going on in the real world. Anyway, the so-called Tesla Diner in Santa Monica is almost open, and it's going to be kind of cool. So you'll be able to go there.

296.803 - 323.62 Scott Adams

and buy food, and the staff will allegedly, we don't have confirmation of this, be on skates. So it's like a diner with skates that shows two big screens that have 30-minute movies that are designed to be the right length for how long your car charges. And I guess anybody can go there to eat. You don't have to be charging your car, and it doesn't need to be a Tesla.

Chapter 3: What new developments are happening with crewless ships?

1626.868 - 1649.905 Scott Adams

After four years of having the truth silenced by a corrupt plea deal, I can finally share what really happened without fear of reprisal, thanks to my pardon. So you're going to see never-before-seen footage proving his innocence. Now, I didn't have a link for that, but I'm sure that'll pop up on social media pretty fast. All right, so good luck, Brandon.

0

1651.887 - 1679.32 Scott Adams

According to Reclaim the Net, that's a publication Christina Moss is writing, that there are some declassified Biden-era domestic terror strategy documents that show this broad surveillance tech partnership and global speech regulation agenda. Now, that's pretty complicated, isn't it? Let me simplify it. The Biden administration...

0

1680.694 - 1713.754 Scott Adams

put massive mechanisms in place to destroy free speech in America. That's what that is without the technical part. The Biden administration very directly, and there's no hyperbole here. There's no exaggeration. The Biden administration tried very hard, and they would have succeeded if Trump had not been elected, they had destroyed free speech in America.

0

1715.336 - 1730.037 Scott Adams

And it's complicated, so it's hard to even understand. So probably nobody will ever be held accountable for it. But probably one of the greatest crimes or attempted crimes ever in the history of the United States.

0

1730.998 - 1759.402 Scott Adams

If I told you that somebody put together a plot to end free speech in America, and knowing that free speech is the bedrock primary right that makes all the other ones possible, you could argue the Second Amendment does that, but I think the First Amendment is even more on point. Here's the basic idea.

1760.863 - 1788.582 Scott Adams

So the Biden administration was worried about something called misinformation and all those misinformation people. So they created this gigantic structure, which even connected to international efforts to also fix misinformation. But like the criminals that they were and are, they didn't define misinformation. That's the end of free speech.

1789.523 - 1816.403 Scott Adams

Because they can say, what you say about vaccinations is misinformation, so you must be banned from social media. That's the end of free speech. There's no other way to look at that. They could say, if you're saying things about, let's say, Ukraine and whether we should end the war, well, that's misinformation. So you must be banned from social media, possibly lose your job,

1817.553 - 1843.361 Scott Adams

won't be able to get hired by the government. That's the end of free speech. If they had defined misinformation as something specific, where you could even know if you were violating it or not, well, that might have been something different, but they didn't do that. They kept the definition open. And then they created this massive mechanism of, I don't know, fact checkers and

1844.116 - 1873.114 Scott Adams

And people were involved in making sure there was no misinformation. And then they were going to do this massive education thing where they would train both adults and children to identify misinformation. Do you think that they taught them things like I teach? When I teach people how to identify misinformation, I say stuff like, well, if the information is only coming from

Chapter 4: What humorous remarks did Trump make recently?

2094.606 - 2132.644 Scott Adams

You know, the MS-13 Maryland dad. So one of the things I like to do with that story is I do like to see how the Democrats are handling it. The Republican version is that he absolutely, definitely was MS-13. He was picked up with other MS-13 people. He had MS-13 clothing that's well-identified. There was a source that said he was MS-13. And you say to yourself, hmm, I don't know.

0

2132.704 - 2161.746 Scott Adams

He looks pretty MS-13 to me. But then you hear the Democrats say, well, it's pretty sketchy. I don't know. The police officer, was it a police officer, who originally picked him up, got dismissed for bad behavior soon after. So you go, hmm, maybe the person who was the you know, the principal who identified him as MS-13, he did something else that makes him look sketchy.

0

2162.807 - 2193.056 Scott Adams

So maybe we can't totally trust that guy. But I was reading in The Hill that the thing where he got picked up with other MS-13 people he was waiting at a Home Depot for work. So you know how the migrants often will wait in the parking lot of Home Depot so that people will pull up and say, I need two people to dig a ditch today and then, you know, say, I'll take you and you.

0

2193.676 - 2214.741 Scott Adams

And then they just go off and they get some day work. If he was hanging out with two MS, I guess a couple of MS-13 people who are also just looking for day work and he was just standing there looking for day work too, that's not exactly hanging out with MS-13. That's hanging out at Home Depot, right?

0

2216.022 - 2242.577 Scott Adams

It wasn't up to this guy to know whether these people were MS-13, but I think he recognized them from before, so maybe he did. Maybe he didn't. We don't know. He was wearing a Chicago Bulls hat, which wasn't too surprising, and it's not proof that you're gang-related, but it's a strong indication. It would be a weird coincidence if you just happened to be a fan of

2243.422 - 2265.201 Scott Adams

and you were the only person from El Salvador who didn't know they're wearing a Bulls hat and a particular image on a Bulls jersey with, I guess, three monkeys covering their eyes and ears and mouths with dollar bills, if you didn't know that those were gang-related, that'd be kind of weird.

2266.323 - 2296.106 Scott Adams

Now, don't you think if you were not in MS-13 and you knew what the clothing of an MS-13 person was and you had an option of what you're going to wear, would you ever wear clothing that would identify you as MS-13? And wouldn't the MS-13 people kill you immediately if they knew that you were not in the club, but you were pretending to be? So that's something.

2297.992 - 2324.87 Scott Adams

And then apparently the immigration judge, Judge Kessler, had said about the source. So really, I think most of the case depended on the source being reliable because there was a source that said not only is he in MS-13, he has a rank. and he has a nickname like he has a gang nickname. That would be pretty conclusive that he's in a gang.

2325.73 - 2357.074 Scott Adams

So the immigration judge said about the source that the source was a past, proven, and reliable source of information that verified the respondent's gang membership, rank, and gang name. And that was sufficient to support the fact that he was actually a gang member. So that's from an immigration judge, and she had decided that the informant was reliable.

Chapter 5: Why are younger Americans supporting Trump?

2623.957 - 2647.993 Scott Adams

know there's a downside to giving a kid a you know basically some kind of uh speed and uh there's one i guess ritalin can make you not grow as tall although that might be temporary we don't know and There's a thought that maybe the entire thing was driven by the economics of the industry.

0

2648.773 - 2677.662 Scott Adams

Because once pharma could make money and once there were special people whose job it was to handle the ADHD kids that couldn't be handled any other way. And once you had programs and education about it. that it became sort of its own little engine. And whenever a kid came in who was a little overactive, they'd say, hmm, looks like ADHD. And there would be tons of overdiagnosis.

0

2678.522 - 2701.126 Scott Adams

I saw a comment by Chamath Palihapitiya, one of the all-in pod guys, you know. And he says that one of his kids was at one point identified as an ADHD kid, but that he wasn't buying into the, you know, the whole thing looked a little sketchy to him.

0

2702.106 - 2735.246 Scott Adams

And he says, sort of as, I guess, a summary, I find it more plausible that economic incentives drove an entire industry to spring up around an FDA approved drug. That looking back, mostly doesn't work. People make money diagnosing it, tutoring around it, coaching around it, et cetera. Now, that could be right. I saw Matt Walsh talking about how he thought it was a fake condition too.

0

2735.767 - 2757.934 Scott Adams

Now, I wouldn't call it fake in the sense that maybe there's some percentage that's real and some percentage that's not. But I do think that if you simply change people's environment, you could probably drive a lot of it out of the situation. And I also wonder if there's a reframe that would work.

2759.214 - 2785.394 Scott Adams

Because if not paying attention is the big problem, what if you just made those kids exercise immediately? You start a class, and then there's a bunch of ADHD kids who can't pay attention, and you just say, all right, kids, we're going to take a break. And you just make them exercise like crazy, you know, in play, you know, not anything that hurts them.

2786.014 - 2807.404 Scott Adams

But you just make them play, play, play until they can sit in one place and be glad that they are. And then you see if they can pay attention. And then the other reframe is when I was a student, and I should tell you that I went to a very small school, very small, But I was a valedictorian.

2808.664 - 2830.812 Scott Adams

And I think at least part of the reason I was valedictorian, besides being kind of smart, is that the way I approached my schoolwork was that it was a contest. And I was competing against the other students, not just the ones in my class, but in the world. And whoever competed the best would get the prizes.

2831.618 - 2859.206 Scott Adams

And the prizes would be the good jobs and the better life and the better mate, all those things. So when I would look at my schoolwork and it would be super boring, I would not say, oh my God, it's boring and it's not connected to anything in the real world. So I just can't even pay attention to it. There's no meaning to it. Because even the ADHD people can pay attention when they have meaning.

Chapter 6: What is the Supreme Court's role in district judge rulings?

3103.959 - 3133.745 Scott Adams

they would start with, none of this is true. And then they would say, it's just because of the retaliation. But you wouldn't start with, it's because of retaliation. You would start with, none of these things hold up. I didn't do that, if it were true. So I guess that's as close as you can get to admitting you did the crimes. Well, let's talk about sexy Luigi Mangione.

0

3134.768 - 3164.472 Scott Adams

who, as you know, is the hottest of all the murderers. Apparently, the grand jury in New York is going for four different charges, although I think I only wrote down three of them. But I'm going to read them in a sexy way so that you can hear them the way the Democrats hear them. And I'd like you to imagine there's bad porn music in the background.

0

3164.492 - 3207.766 Scott Adams

I don't know even what that sounds like because I've never listened to it. But he's guilty of two counts of stalking. He might be guilty of a firearm offense. And maybe murder through the use of a firearm. Is that sexy? I mean, I know you're turned on. Try to get through the rest of the day thinking about that, huh? Yeah. Sexy. Apparently the last charge would make him...

0

3208.695 - 3237.954 Scott Adams

Eligible for the death penalty. Yeah, ladies. What's that do to you? He's eligible for the death penalty. Now, if that doesn't turn you on, I don't know what will. Meanwhile, according to Neil Munro, writing for Breitbart News, Trump is developing some kind of a plan that might provide money for illegal migrants who want to self-deport.

0

3238.823 - 3265.245 Scott Adams

Meaning that if the only thing stopping them from doing it is they can't afford to do it because they somehow have to get back home and all that. And so Trump's considering some kind of a stipend or a way to help people afford the self-deportation. And I think that's a good idea. Because a lot of these people might want to come back for work programs.

3265.445 - 3288.651 Scott Adams

They might want to come back and try to become members of the country through legal means. And if they self-deport, especially if they get a little help doing it, they could maintain their proper rights to come back. And that would be great. Here's a weird one. According to Rapid Response, talking about stuff that Trump does,

3289.634 - 3314.027 Scott Adams

I guess he signed an executive order to restore American seafood competitiveness. Now, how many of you knew that there was a problem with seafood competitiveness? I did not. I was not aware of that at all. But apparently, it's real. It's like a real big problem. And of course, It's self-induced by too many regulatory burdens.

3315.268 - 3341.768 Scott Adams

And, of course, there's unfair trade that we're always dealing with with other countries. And so apparently this executive order would get rid of the regulatory stuff and combat the fair trade part and enhance production and exports. Now, I didn't think this was necessarily a big deal until I saw a comment by Chef Andrew Gruhl. If you're on X, you'll probably be familiar with him.

3341.868 - 3374.793 Scott Adams

He's a very popular commenter and a professional chef. And he said that he worked in an area in which he saw this firsthand. and agrees this is a giant problem. So that's a good source. So if Andrew Gruhl says it was a big problem and this will be a big step toward fixing it, I believe it. So that's just good news. According to 404 Media, and Joseph Cox, I guess.

Chapter 7: What changes did the Mayo Clinic make to its DEI office?

3487.151 - 3513.188 Scott Adams

we're going to look at the the peace deals potential peace deal with ukraine because if we don't get a peace deal with ukraine and russia what happens then so i think what happens at least in maybe the trump perfect world is that europe takes over the defense but part of what europe would need to do is buy american weapons

0

3514.398 - 3541.705 Scott Adams

like this and since ukraine doesn't have enough humans to um you know to do all the war fighting uh and it's safer and more effective to use drones every one of these new inventions i think is just going to end up in ukraine for at least testing so the us would get to test all of its new drone related stuff uh by just throwing it into the war

0

3542.859 - 3565.241 Scott Adams

Europe might pay for it, so the US essentially would be getting revenue and free testing without risking American soldiers, and the war would go on. So Ukraine wants to fight. If Europe gives them money and the US provides the hardware that Europe has to pay for,

0

3566.42 - 3597.956 Scott Adams

And we know that we're probably only a year away from all war being all drones all the time, because humans just can't keep up with drones. it might be the first time we see a full drone war. Drones on the ground, drones in the sea, drones in the air, and just hardly any human Ukrainian soldiers except for the ones operating the equipment.

0

3598.977 - 3632.044 Scott Adams

So I feel like that's where things go if we don't get a peace deal. Speaking of peace deal, Secretary Rubio has said, if we don't get one soon, and it sounds like we're not close, that he's going to stop trying, meaning Trump will stop trying. Stopping trying, I think, automatically goes to the all drone concept. So I think what you're going to see is the peace deal dying,

3633.354 - 3666.327 Scott Adams

And then you're going to see the first all-drone war. And that we're probably just months away from that. And the Russians will, of course, try to keep up. So it will become a drone-on-drone war. And then it will be Russia's technology, wherever they're getting it from, maybe China, versus American technology. And then we see who wins. It'll be basically a technology plus money plus cleverness.

3667.368 - 3697.473 Scott Adams

And it won't be soldiers dying versus soldiers dying. I think that's where it's heading. We'll see. Well, the U.S. says that Chinese satellite firm, is helping the Houdis target American warships. So it's called the Chinese Changguang Satellite Technology Company. Now, what happens if we're sure that they're the bad guys and they're helping the Houdis?

3698.534 - 3731.731 Scott Adams

Does that mean we would try to attack the Chinese satellites? Even though it's a private company, it's not the government satellites. But would that be starting World War III in space with China? Or are we just going to say... Are we just going to say... All right. I don't know what that means. I see it in the comments. So I worry about this, that this could be an escalation. We'll see.

3734.916 - 3759.648 Scott Adams

There's also the story of whether Trump waved off an Israeli plan to attack Iran. So a reporter asked the question this way of Trump. Did you wave off an Israeli plan to attack Iran? And Trump says, I wouldn't say waved off. I think that Iran has a chance to have a great country. and to live happily without death, and I'd like to see that. That's my first option.
