Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
We'll get serious. All right, don't check your stocks. They're neither up nor down. They're kind of moving sideways. Nothing to see there. Let me get my comments going, and then we'll put on a show, the show you deserve, even if you don't. Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. This is 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 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.
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go. Perfect. That's just what I needed. Well, in Texas, somebody 3D printed a Starbucks. It's one of those big 3D printers that does concrete walls.
Chapter 2: How will AI change coffee making?
And it's just a little drive-through, so there's no internal seating, so it's a small one. But how long before robots can make the coffee? Oh, turns out that's my next story. Global Coffee Report says that AI robots will soon be making your morning coffee, maybe. Don't you want that? Wouldn't you love to tell your robot to make you a fancy coffee?
You know, the reason most people don't make a fancy coffee for themselves is it's just way too much work and time and pain in the ass and you got to clean up and all that. But if your robot did all of that, I'd make my robot make me some serious coffee. It'd be the best coffee I ever saw. That's Kevin. My little local mall in my town had a coffee robot for a while.
And it looked like it was more demonstration. It was before AI. It was a few years ago. And I remember I tried it once, but I accidentally ordered the wrong thing. But once the robot starts making the thing, you can't really stop it. So I had to stand there for what seemed like 10 minutes while this stupid robot made me a cup of coffee that was the wrong thing.
And then I just paid for it and threw it away. So it wasn't a perfect robot coffee-making experience. I think it'll get better with AI. I don't know if it's still the case, but early this morning, the lights and the electricity were off in Portugal, Spain, and a big part of France. Now, I don't think they know exactly why. I assume it's not cybersecurity.
some kind of cybercrime, because I don't know who would go after Portugal, Spain, and parts of France. That would be a weird target. But they're dealing with that. It kind of reminds you how fragile civilization is. My guess is there's one piece of equipment that went bad, and it took three countries out of civilization.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of the intention economy?
so we'll keep an eye on that and see what the hell is going on with that that's pretty scary well the brighter side of news is reporting that the attention economy is turning into the intention economy which I had not been exposed to before so attention is all your social media where they're trying to get your attention because if they have your attention you look at advertising and they win
But with AI, they're going to move to an intention, meaning they're going to figure out what it is you're likely to want, maybe before you even know it. And so they'll be looking at your intentions to give you what you want. You can say goodbye to your illusion of free will, because once your AI gets good enough to know what you want and starts giving it to you before you even knew you wanted it,
Why would he even make decisions? Because it's going to be right. Every now and then you might have to correct. It's like, well, no, I don't have time for that cup of coffee. You were going to make me a robot. But the intention economy has way more ramifications than just how they sell advertisements. The ramification is that we come to understand that free will is an illusion. It's a big deal.
But I know you're not ready for that yet. Popular Mechanics has a story that says that somebody somehow found a chemical fingerprint on Stonehenge. Do you believe they found a fingerprint on Stonehenge? I'm not sure I even believe the first part of the story. But according to them, if they're right, it means that the giant stones came from a different place than they've been telling us for years.
In other words, The whole Stonehenge story was kind of BS. That's what they're thinking. But this reminded me that if you watch enough YouTube stories about ancient civilizations, which I do, did you know that all over the world, there were civilizations that could move gigantic rocks. So there are pyramids pretty much in, I don't know, just all over the world.
So you've got them in Asia and Central America and South America, and you've got them in the Middle East. So apparently there were all these different civilizations who could move gigantic rocks, and none of them remember how to do it. None of them?
so the only way i can explain that is that they never knew in the first place because nobody drew a picture of it you know even if they didn't have written language somebody would have made a picture right and carved it on a cave wall or something but uh no all these civilizations were able to move gigantic rocks somehow without being connected to each other.
Did they individually figure out how to do it? So individually, all these primitive civilizations figured out how to move gigantic rocks, but then our modern civilization doesn't know how to do it? How is that possible?

Chapter 4: What new discoveries have been made about Stonehenge?
The only explanation I can come up with is that there used to be some kind of advanced civilization that didn't survive, unless those are the aliens and they're under the ocean hiding from us. Maybe. But I'm definitely down for the there must have been an ancient advanced civilization that affected all of those different cultures and somehow helped them move big rocks. but never taught him how.
That's the only thing that makes sense to me. Well, Trump is causing more trouble. Gateway pundits reporting that he mentioned that we should jail the auto pen guy, whoever it was who was making the auto pen sign things for Biden. Now, that might be a little extreme, but here's what Trump said. He goes, also, why did the auto pen give Schiff a pardon? Biden knew nothing about it.
Who operated the auto pen? That is the biggest question being asked in D.C. Is it? I don't know. They almost destroyed our country. They should all be in jail, Trump said on True Social. Now, how is it even remotely possible that the auto pen did all of the signing for Biden, and we don't know who was in charge of the auto pen? Now, you might say, well, Biden was in charge.
He just said, use the auto pen. Well, maybe. But with all these tell-all, behind-the-scenes books, there's not a single book, there's not a whistleblower, there's not a single witness who knows who operated the auto pen. And it couldn't have been that many people, right?
I would imagine that there's exactly probably one person who can actually make the machine do what it needs to do, and they have to get an order from somebody. So there's probably one person who's just a tech, but somebody told the tech what to do. How in the world do we not know that yet? The only way that makes sense is if we did know who it was, it would be a gigantic scandal.
I can't imagine there'd be any other reason. Because otherwise, even the Democrats would say, oh, it's no big deal. It was Biden's chief of staff, and the chief of staff only did it when Biden okayed it. And then I'd say, oh, okay, that's a reasonably good explanation. But they don't have any explanation. So does that mean multiple people were getting the auto pen guy to do the auto pen thing?
Whatever the answer is here, Trump is definitely on to something. There's something that's being hidden. And it's more than the fact that the auto pen signed a lot of things for Biden. We really need to know who is behind that. I wonder if we ever will. Well, the maze account on X is a good report here about how the fake news works. So,
Mays says the mainstream media feeds off its own dishonest reporting, working together to divide the country and make people angry. And he says, for example, New York Times put out an headline claiming that Trump was going to end funding for Narcan. Narcan is the thing that saves your life if you have a fentanyl overdose or opioid overdose. But that was never true.
The details were buried in the article. What was true is that they wanted to reorganize the group that made the Narcan available. So it would still be available. It would just be housed in a different organization. So rather than correct that, Rachel Maddow on MSNBC tells her viewers that Trump is taking away Narcan, and then she has Jamie Raskin on later, to confirm it.

Chapter 5: What is the controversy around the auto pen in Washington D.C.?
Well, now Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrat leader, they've decided to hold an anti-Trump sit-in on the Capitol steps. Now, that was yesterday. I don't know if they're still there. I'm not sure how long a sit-in lasts. But Justin Hughes was reporting this, and I was thinking, what exactly were they trying to accomplish by sitting on the steps? And what was that conversation like?
All right, Trump is winning everywhere. We've got to change the conversation to the leaders of the Democrat Party are sitting on the steps. At what point did that sound like a good idea? Like we could turn things around if we sit on steps and then people will come talk to us because we're sitting on steps. Did I tell you it's going to be a long time?
We're going to sit on those steps for a long time? Yeah. Yeah, we finally got a strategy. What is wrong with the Democrats? That's their strategy? To go sit on some steps? You never see Republicans stoop to anything that stupid. Anyway. So here's a summary of what I see happening in the news and politics. Trump has given us the following proposition.
He hasn't said it in these words, but he's very clear about what he wants. Trump would say, if you asked him, he said, we need to make a long-term structural change to our economy to survive. a long-term structural change. Now, some of that would be DOGE, but a lot of that would be the tariffs, which should lead to negotiations, we hope. Those would be long-term structural changes.
So if you have a president who's proposing that we do long-term structural changes, what does the media do, the Democrats? We need to obsess over the first 100 days because 100 is a big round number. For the last several days, the Democrats have just been all over his first 100 days. His first 100 days. Why? Because 100 is a big round number. It doesn't make any sense.
It's like sitting on the steps of the Capitol. Well, let's talk about the importance of the number 100. It doesn't really have any importance, especially if you're doing a long-term structural change. Yes, but let's obsess about it. and we'll run some polls. So the Media Research Center did a poll and found out that ABC, NBC, and CBS had 92% negative coverage of Trump.
92% negative coverage of Trump. So if they had 92% negative coverage, what do you suppose they found when they did a poll to find out if Trump's plans are popular? So the news told people that almost everything Trump did was a mistake. And then they did a poll to ask the opinion of the public. Where do you think the public got their opinion from? The public didn't do their own research.
They got their opinion from the news. And if the news is 92% negative, which is a pretty good indication it's just biased and not real news, of course the public's going to have a low opinion of his first 100 days. Of course they will. And then they sell that to us as if it all makes sense.
Now, if you didn't know that the news was 92% negative on Trump, you would look at the polls and you'd say, whoa, looks like the public has really turned on Trump. Nothing like that happened. And pollster Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen Reports, he did a deeper dive, which I won't get into. You should look at his account on X. But he did a little summary of the idea that Trump is less popular.

Chapter 6: How does the media shape public perception of Trump?
When the Democrats make gigantic mistakes that have lasted a long time, do they ever say, wow, we should just retool this and stop doing that gigantic mistake thing? No. They always tell you it's about how they messaged it. And that's what's happening again. They're trying to say, if we'd only picked the right word, You know, this could have been a genius move if we'd picked the right word.
No, there's no right word. The entire approach is just bullshit. So there's no word that fixes that. So that's funny. And then Bernie pushes back. He goes, well, gee, as he was asked about in an interview, he said, we had 36,000 people in L.A. and 34,000 in Colorado. We had 30,000 people in Folsom, California. He goes, I think the American people are not quite as dumb as Ms.
Slotkin thinks they are. To which I say, Bernie, you didn't even answer the question. The reason people showed up is because of star power. It had nothing to do with whether you were saying oligarch or king. Do you think there was anybody who said, hey, look, Bernie and AOC are going to talk.
And then their mate or their boyfriend or girlfriend says, but are they going to talk about oligarchs or kings? Because I know what a king is. I don't know what an oligarch is. No. They just said, is it Bernie? Is it AOC? Oh, they're celebrities. Okay, I'll go watch because I don't like Trump. So every part of this is stupid. Just almost mind-bogglingly stupid. And it's wonderful to watch.
You've probably seen all the interviews on the street. There's been a bunch of them where somebody will go up to one of the Tesla protesters or Democrats protesting and they'll say, why are you protesting? And they'll say stuff like, Trump is a monster and Trump is a dictator and Trump is Hitler.
And then somebody will follow up and say, can you give me an example in which Trump is a fascist or a dictator or You know, can you give me a policy you don't like? And they're always stumped. They don't have any idea what they don't like. They actually are on the streets protesting, and they can't give you any details about what it is they're protesting against.
Now, you might say, well, those are very entertaining, but I feel like Republicans could do a lot more with that. I don't know exactly how. You'd have to experiment with it a little bit. But
I would love for the street interviews and maybe even other interviews, whenever the press is talking, let's say the right-leaning press, whenever the right-leaning press is talking to the Democrats, I'd like to see that they had a list of maybe 10 questions to see if the Democrats could answer them. So here's one of the questions.
If tariffs and trade barriers are so bad, why does China and every other country insist on having them? That's an unanswerable question because the real answer that Democrats can't get near is that these countries have been taking advantage of us and we should stop them from taking advantage of us. And so Trump is using tariffs to negotiate until they stop taking advantage of us.

Chapter 7: What are the criticisms of the Democrats' messaging strategy?
How do you know they didn't move to your beloved scalpel system and make sure that the normal elected officials were appointed are the ones who make the actual cut decisions? How do you know? How do you know which of their claims are going to prove out? Some of them won't, but some of them will. How do you know if they're going to save more money than they've saved already?
Because not only have they taken a whack at a number of the expenses and corruption, but they've put in place a system, a system of sort of permanent doge, which in theory should prevent some of the worst excesses from coming back while they chop away at new things that they find all the time. How could you possibly know if doge worked? It's way too early.
Now, if you said, I don't know that it'll work, well, that's reasonable. If you said there's not confirmed evidence that Doge worked, I'd say that's true. But to say that you know it didn't work and won't work, where's that coming from? You don't have any inside knowledge about what's happening in any of these government entities. Here's another question for Democrats.
If everything is broken and wrong and Trump has destroyed the economy, Why is the stock market so strong and employment looks good? Those would be the two things that would always go bad if the economy were heading in the toilet. So why aren't they? The stock market's sort of the same as it was a year ago, no big deal, and employment looks pretty good. So how do you explain that?
So there should be some kind of like 10 questions to ask Democrats to see how well they understand anything. Anyway, I think if Democrats understood the issues, they would have different opinions. Here's another fake news, but sort of true, but fake. I guess the Trump administration deported some parent, I think a mother, maybe more than one,
who had children, and then the mother decided that she would take her children, who were born in this country and therefore are citizens, that although she was not a citizen and she had a deportation order, she would take her children with her back to Honduras, I think in one case. And that causes the Democrats to say, you deported children.
which Rubio has to explain, no, we deported an illegal alien and she decided to take her children because why wouldn't she? Why wouldn't she? Of course she's going to take her children. That's not our decision. We didn't make the children leave. We just made the mother leave. So there's that. And also we should mention that's the same way we treat criminals in the United States.
When you send a parent to jail, They don't get to take their kids. But if they could, some of them would. Don't you think? If somebody had a baby, and let's say they're a mother, if they had the option of taking their baby to jail with them, again, there was some facility that would allow that to be safe, they probably would. But we wouldn't be putting children in jail.
That would be the mother's decision. Anyway, Scott Besant, is agreeing with Trump that China actually is talking to us about trade, but they're a little bit shy about what that looks like or who they're actually talking to. But there's a significant disagreement about whether there's any actual progress. Do you think there is progress? in the conversations with China.

Chapter 8: How do street interviews reveal public opinion on Trump?
Thomas Massey is going to do social media posts saying he's not going to vote for it because they had plenty of time to cut it, but they didn't cut anything important. And we're just going to kick the can down the road until we become bankrupt. That's the plan because there's no other plan. There's no other system in place that could ever cut $1.5 trillion from the budget.
We don't have anything that could do that. The House can't do that. And it's in the House. And Doge is not in the House. So even if Doge could do it, it's not their domain now. It's in the House. And I guess the Senate was only trying to get rid of $4 billion. So you have to get both the House and the Senate to agree on the budget. The House is trying to get rid of $1.5 trillion.
And the Senate, where they're even more corrupt... It was like, well, maybe $4 billion, which would be basically a rounding. You could get rid of $4 billion just by sneezing on it. So if I had to guess, we'll have less than a $5 billion cut And we will be running as fast as we can into a debt crisis. And nothing useful will happen in the house. Nothing. There will be no decrease in corruption.
No decrease in ridiculous spending. No nothing. Because we have no system that could bring us to a better place. If you look at it as a system as opposed to a goal, the goal is to save $1.5 trillion. but there's no system to do that. None. Now, if I'm wrong, somebody tell me, what exactly would be the system that would do that? And why didn't that system ever do it before?
It's because it doesn't exist. We don't have a system that could possibly get us to a better place on the budget. So that's what to expect. Gee, I wonder if there will be any diversions that happen so that we're not thinking about how bad Congress is and the budget. Oh, yeah. So the House subcommittee is going to hold a hearing on drone sightings after reports about those New Jersey skies.
Now, when was the last time you worried about the drones over New Jersey? I don't remember worrying about it for a long time because Trump said, oh, don't worry, it's all approved. We don't know exactly the details, but there's nothing weird going on there. It's not any foreign entity. It's not a UFO. But suddenly, the House subcommittee needs to do a deep dive into those drones.
And once again, it's going to be stories about possible UFOs and UAPs, and it's going to divert us again. So exactly at the right time they need a diversion? Well, there it is. I don't know if it's intentional, but it seems weirdly coincidental that the diversion happens at the same time they need it. Here's another thing that's making me laugh. The Democrats consider themselves the resistance.
Have you noticed that? So a lot of people who are Democrats, especially the political ones, consider themselves part of, quote, the resistance. Have we ever had that before? In the history of U.S. politics, has anybody ever called themselves the resistance? Because that framing is dangerous.
because it'd be one thing to say we're the opposition party and then i say oh i get it you would like your policies to be you know more persuasive than the other policies but as soon as you say you're the resistance doesn't that sound like the french resistance during world war ii you know literally battling hiller resistance is a is a military term in my view as soon as you say resistance everything's on the table
