Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization discussed?
Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams because that's what it is. But if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tank or chalice or 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 end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Sensational. So, so good. Well, there was some kind of an election in Canada, and I don't really care. Does anybody care? Let's take a vote in the comments. Does anybody care about the election in Canada? No?
Chapter 2: What are the implications of Amazon's tariff display?
Okay, moving on. Apparently, Amazon has decided to show the tariff costs in your cart before you pay for it. But as Sean Davis pointed out on X, why don't they tell us what country it's being made from? Would you like to know that? Would you love to know what's being made in China? Yes, you would. So it might be nice to know what the tariffs are adding to the cost.
But on the other hand, it would also be really nice to know what country is this coming from. That would be fun. Speaking of Jeff Bezos, I guess Amazon is going to launch its... Project Kuiper satellites, according to USA Today. So they're going to launch, what, 27 satellites into low-Earth orbit. What is it for? That's missing in the story. What are they going to use all those satellites for?
Chapter 3: How is AI shopping different from Amazon?
I assume they're going to compete for Internet traffic with SpaceX's satellites. They're going to deploy over 3,200 satellites eventually. Is the entire Earth going to be surrounded with satellites at one point? Are we going to dim the sun with so many satellites at some point? Drone delivery? You think it's about drone delivery? Maybe. Yeah, maybe. Could be.
Speaking of shopping, the ChatGPT OpenAI is going to add shopping to its AI app. So if you're in ChatGPT, this is a historian wired, you'll be able to search for things and it will pop up with recommendations and it will learn to know your preferences. And so, yeah, it could be competing with Starlink. We don't know. It might be more than that. But would you shop with AI?
Because I've tried to shop with AI, and it's actually pretty good because it gives you links to the actual vendor. You know, it's not acting like Amazon. It would give you links to Amazon and other vendors. I kind of like that. So I don't know how they're going to make their money. So they're not going to have sponsored ads, or at least they don't yet.
But don't you think it would be better to shop with an AI than to even go to Amazon? Although I got to say, Amazon.com, the actual software, is probably the best software I've ever seen. Have you ever stopped to think? how incredible it is that Amazon.com works, and it works really well, and it's optimized, and it's easy to navigate. I'm always wowed by how good Amazon is with software.
Apparently, IBM is going to invest $150 billion in the U.S., to grow its manufacturing over five years. So add that to the Trump tariff wins. Apparently, we've got quite a few companies now that are going to move their manufacturing to the U.S. So that part of what Trump is trying to do seems to be working, at least at some scale.
Speaking of Trump, he just signed an executive order to require truck drivers to speak English. Now, I didn't know that was a big problem, that truck drivers didn't speak English, a lot of them. But apparently it is. And it's not just a small problem. Apparently that inability to speak English has led to a number of accidents.

Chapter 4: What are the concerns regarding non-English speaking truck drivers?
I don't know if it's because they can't read street signs or what it is. But there is some thinking that there is massive danger that the truck drivers can't speak English. So maybe that got fixed. Although now there won't be enough truck drivers. So that's a problem. Here's some fake news. Let's do the fake news. According to NPR... Uh, some two anonymous sources.
Now, if I tell you that it's NPR and it's two anonymous sources and the story is something that's negative about the Trump administration, is it real? What's your guess? Is your guess that NPR, with two anonymous sources and a negative story about the Trump administration, is there any chance that's real? Well, it looks like it's not.
So the claim was that some Doge workers got access to nuclear secrets, which apparently the authorities have said, no, that's crazy. Nobody got access to any nuclear secrets. Of course not. Here's some more fake news. Trump is claiming he's already made 200 trade deals, but he won't specify. He won't give any examples, so you can't check on him.
Does anybody think that Trump already made 200 trade deals? Does anybody think that's even a little bit true? Some of the claims that Trump is making are just hilarious. I saw Scott Besant was in an interview and he was asked about that. He was asked, what about these 200 trade deals? And Besant had to sort of talk around it. Because he couldn't confirm it. Because it's obviously not true.
But he didn't want to go against his boss. So he just sort of weasel worded it. and talked around it. Now, it might be, it could be true that a whole bunch of different countries have decided on some kind of framework or maybe decided on some small part of a deal. And, you know, Trump's calling those trade deals, even though they're not comprehensive for each country.
So maybe he's talking about that, but it just looks like a made up number to me. I saw a poll by Rasmussen. It's a poll on whether people will trust polls. Apparently a majority, 51%, either have not very much trust or no trust at all in major media polls. How many of you trust major media polls, especially about politics? Do you think they're real?
I had a conversation with one of my pollster friends. You know, he's been working in that industry forever. And, you know, when I said, yeah, everybody knows the major polls are fake. Oh, my goodness, did he not agree with that? No, no, no. But then I specified, no, I'm talking about the political stuff. The political stuff is obviously fake. And he says, no, I am completely wrong about that.
The political polls are very reliable. But here's a quote that I think is hilarious. This is in Rasmussen's reporting on this. So after Trump won the 2024 election,

Chapter 5: What are the criticisms of Trump’s trade deal claims?
There was a Harris senior campaign advisor, this guy David Plouffe, who admitted he was, quote, surprised that many public polls last year showed that Harris was ahead of Trump because the Harris campaign's own internal polling never had her leading. Have you seen the list of major media polls that said that Harris was ahead? They were all fake. They must have been.
Because their internal polling never showed it. And I don't think Trump's internal polling ever showed it. And I don't think Rasmussen ever showed it. But all the rest of them, like, oh, yeah. Yeah, she's up by two points. No problem. She's totally going to win. None of that was ever true.
So if the only thing you knew was that the central advisor to Harris didn't believe the polls because their own poll that they paid for was not agreeing with them, that's all you need to know to know that they were fake. 48% of voters believe that the problem with the polls is that some pollsters were deliberately adjusting their numbers to support Harris.
Well, 35% think it was because they don't know how to accurately poll. Do you think the problem is they don't know how to accurately poll? No, that's not the problem. I'm pretty sure they do know how to accurately poll because the internal pollster knew how. Do you think only the internal polls know how to poll and all the external public ones don't? No, they all know how to poll.
So whatever you see that looks crooked, it's probably intentional. So here's a scary story. Apparently, the University of Zurich had been running a secret project with AI bots on Reddit, and they were trying to see if they could secretly manipulate Redditors' opinions. They've been running it since November 2024. I saw this on the Reddit Lies account. Apparently, it worked.
So the bots, which would be just AI characters that are not real, that pretend to be real, said the bots were six times more likely to change the minds of Redditors than the baseline, often by leveraging misinformation. So all the bots did is lie. And they were really successful at changing people's minds. They just lied. Then people thought, oh, okay. Well, they changed their minds.
But apparently they all had personas, but they used information about their targets for persuasion. So they would know kind of what would work for each person. They would figure that out. And then they would change their minds. Now, If you can change people's minds with an AI bot, do those people have free will? Because the thing that changed their mind was not their minds.
The thing that changed their mind was the AI. So what was it that caused them to have the opinions they had? Was it their free will? Or was it the AI? It's obviously the AI. what causes anybody to have the views that they have? Pretty much the news that they've seen and the information they've absorbed. So for the most part, we're very close to proving that free will is an illusion.
But I know every one of you hates when I say that. But I will be right, eventually. Do you remember Crossfire Hurricane? That was the project the fbi was running that was uh the fake russia collusion hoax and there was a central character in that named nelly or ohr and she worked for a fusion gps and uh And she coordinated with her husband. He was a Justice Department official.

Chapter 6: What are the controversies surrounding underground cities?
And partly because of the Trump administration's anti-DEI efforts. Companies are going to pull back on pride recognition or celebration, I guess. Now, my take on this, I think I said the same thing last year, is that gays should just take the victory. Because I've never seen any segment of the country that has been so successful
in improving their brand from being mocked or whatever it was when you were a kid to, wow, these guys are doing great. You've never gone to a neighborhood where somebody said, oh, you better not go to that neighborhood because it's a gay neighborhood. It's a little too dangerous. That doesn't exist. It's not a thing.
And you also have a lot of successful top-level politicians, both Republican and Democrat, who are openly gay. I think take the win. I think the LGB crowd especially, they've done the greatest job I've ever seen in improving their brand to the point where it's just irrelevant. How many of you spend a lot of time thinking about it? The test is you don't really even think about it. So take the win.
At some point, the whole pride month thing ends up working against you because it's a way to say you're different. Whereas the win is that everybody's the same, meaning we're all different, but we're all equal. So I I just think the gay and lesbian community has won so hard that they should seriously consider whether they need a celebration. They should just say, we won.
You know, everything turned out great. You know, I've never heard of anybody. When was the last time you heard of somebody not being hired because they were gay or lesbian? I've never even heard of it. I mean, I don't think it happens in 2025, does it? Anyway, so take the win. Good job. So we're still obsessing about the first 100 days of Trump. It is the most ridiculous story.
All it is is a way for Democrats to have something to bitch about because 100 days is not nearly enough to know if anything worked. Now, of course, the Republicans are all saying, but what about all those great executive orders and the border got closed?
And then the Democrats will just say, yes, but what about the tariffs that are definitely not working, as if they know how it's going to turn out? Maybe 100 months would be a good time to check in.
But 100 days doesn't make any sense at all as a time to check the progress of a president, unless you were smart enough to say, all right, let's just look at the things where you can know how it turns out within 100 days. And that's not tariffs. It's not the economy. It's not the price of eggs. It's not Ukraine. It's not Gaza. It's none of those things.
But maybe in 100 months, you'll be able to look back and see how it turned out. But this whole media obsession over a big round number, oh, 100 is a big round number. We should see how everything's happening within that 100 days. Ridiculous. Stop it.

Chapter 7: How is hate speech defined in political discourse?
But it kind of does do it right away because if you really believe that Hitler was rising, you wouldn't delay, right? You'd start putting swastikas on Teslas, etc., which is what people are doing. So I would say that... Yeah, to me that looks like hate speech, but that's just me. I guess Kamala Harris is scheduled to give a speech, which I'm sure will also be full of hate.
And she's going to do it for $25 per viewer. I guess you're going to pay to watch the stream. How many people would pay $25 to watch a Kamala Harris speech? And I wonder, is that all you have to pay? Is it just $25 per stream, or is there also a two-drink minimum?
Oh, wait, the two-drink minimum only applies to Harris, so she'll have at least two drinks before she does her speech that you'd have to pay $25 to see. I can't even imagine paying $25 to hear Kamala Harris speak. Now, it's for some group that's probably raising money for it. I don't think it goes to her. But really? So I expect some hate speech to come out of that.
Chuck Schumer, he's doing the projection thing that for some reason Democrats never recognize, so it works. He started out by saying recently, that the Republican agenda is billionaires win, American families lose. Does that sound like projection? Because immediately as soon as he said it, the X platform had pictures of him posing repeatedly with Alex Soros.
It's not like the Republicans have some kind of monopoly on billionaires. I mean, how long have we been talking about billionaires distorting our system by their contributions primarily to Democrat things. So that's projection number one, that Republicans are the ones with the billionaires, completely ignoring the fact that Democrats are almost defined by their billionaires.
Then the Western Lensman account on X points out that in 2025, Chuck Schumer is saying that Trump wants to intimidate and threaten judges. This is Chuck Schumer saying that Trump is trying to intimidate and threaten judges. Does that sound familiar?
It should, because in 2020, Chuck Schumer was threatening and intimidating the Supreme Court, telling them that they would inherit the whirlwind or something. So that was projection. So he's like the OG of threatening the courts, and now he's saying that that's a Republican thing.
And then he was asked if he's going to retire and he says he's not going to retire because, quote, I'm staying put because I've been able to unite my caucus in a very strong fight against Trump. So what's missing in that frame? He's been able to unite his caucus in a very strong fight against Trump. There's no positive message.
Even Democrats have been telling other Democrats, can you at least suggest something positive? You can't run a campaign that's just anti-Trump. But he is. So I think Schumer is the least effective communicator on the Democrat side. So Jon Stewart was right when he said, maybe Schumer is not the one you put in front of the camera. But who do you put in front of the camera? Bernie Sanders? AOC?

Chapter 8: What are the challenges faced by Democrats in communications?
There are about 400 of them who are ISIS-related or come from countries where ISIS has a little too much control. So they're sketchy. But the rest are MS-13 and Trenda, Aragua, whatever the Venezuelan gang is, 1,200 of them. And these were all let in during the Biden administration. So good job, Biden. It really makes you wonder, was Biden even working for the United States?
I mean, a lot of stuff he did, it looked more like he was working to destroy the country, you know, just in terms of outcome. So it's hard to even understand that we got to this place, but at least Trump's solving it. I saw a video from, it looked like it was tagged on something called Von Koran. I guess that's whoever got the video.
And there was this American substitute teacher who was describing his first day as a substitute teacher. And he was talking about the quality of the students and what they knew. And he said, quote, I thought y'all was lying to me when y'all said that these kids didn't know nothing. These kids don't know shit, like nothing, nada.
They don't know basic math, addition, subtraction, division, fractions, multiplication. So let me ask you this. Is that more dangerous than the 1,200 terrorists? It is. If we're raising an entire generation of kids who can't read and do basic math, Ultimately, that's more dangerous for the country than even the 1,200 terrorists.
So we've got a really big problem, and I don't know how we got there except for the teachers' unions. I blame the teachers' unions, basically. And maybe the solution is more choice in schools, and at least things are moving in that direction. But... And then their substitute teacher uses language like, these kids didn't know nothing. I'm pretty sure that what he meant is they don't know anything.
So he's not their English teacher, apparently. It sounds like he's the math teacher. I wouldn't let the math teacher teach them English. So maybe there's two problems there, the teachers and the kids. Newt Gingrich is giving us an update on the LA Palisades fire. And he says four months ago, the fire happened and 6,800 homes were destroyed in the LA area.
He says three months later, only four permits have been issued to rebuild the community. Only four. It's like California isn't even trying to be a functional state. What the hell? Only four permits? Now, I heard somebody question whether his number was correct. So maybe there's some question about the data. But I'm pretty sure things are not going well.
And this is something where there was maximum attention. There was maximum understanding that if we did things the way we always do them, it would be a disaster, and that we had to cut some red tape and do things faster. And a few things, I think, happened faster, like the cleanup. You know, the EPA did their cleanup fast. But I don't know.
If it's really this bad, it's almost like there's nothing that California can do right.
