Chapter 1: What does Scott Adams have to say about Mother's Day?
Good morning, everybody, and happy Saturday, pre-Mother's Day, Mother's Day Eve. Let's get your comments working, and then we got a show for you. The Saturday show that you deserve. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization.
Chapter 2: What is the significance of the simultaneous sip?
It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take a chance of taking this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cupper, mugger, glass, a tanker, 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, the dopamine end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. I see Sergio has his coffee warmer. Now that's the way to go. If you've never tried the coffee warmer, you know, the little thing that stays hot when you put your coffee in it, You really should.
If you're a stickler about the taste of coffee, maybe that's not so good because it doesn't taste the same at the end as it does at the beginning. But if you like it warm, it's a good idea. All right, I will remind you that it's Saturday. That means Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces event immediately after the show. So if you're on the X platform, just look for Owen Gregorian.
Or you could see me. I retweeted it this morning, so you could see it in my feed as well, the link to the Coffee with Scott Adams after party. You can find it. All right, let's get this working. There we go. All right, I wonder if there's any science that they could have skipped just by asking me. Oh, here we go.
Eric Nolan is writing in SciPost that people with lower cognitive ability are more likely to fall for pseudo-profound bullshit. Can you believe it? Dumb people are more likely to be dumb? They actually study that. If you're falling for pseudo-profound BS, meaning that the sentence sounds good so you think it's profound but it doesn't mean anything, Yeah, dumb people. That's how that works.
You did not need to do that study, Eric. Well, Eric's just writing about it. But no, you did not need to do the study that was published in Applied Cognitive Psychology. Just ask me next time. All right, is there any other science that you could have skipped? According to Neuroscience News... The majority of parents report that they get sensory overload from daily family chaos. All right.

Chapter 3: Why do people fall for pseudo-profound bullshit?
How many of you have ever been a parent? And did you need to see a study to know that you get sensory overload from the family situation where everybody's yelling at the same time. Everybody wants something. Everything's going on. There's a TV on. There's a dog barking. Did you really need to study that? It's the most universally recognized form
phenomenon in all of parenting, that the stimulation sometimes, fairly frequently, is just off the chart. There's just too many things happening at the same time. Yeah, you could just ask me next time. Well, recently, according to the New York Post, there was a 3D-printed supercar with a starting price of $2 million that that just was created in its own little 3D car printing factory.
So I guess it cost about half a billion dollars to build the printer. They can do all the metal that's good enough to build a car out of. But they created an electric hypercar. It's got impressive statistics. But the most impressive thing is that most of the parts were 3D printed on site, including all the metal. All the metal was 3D printed.
Chapter 4: What are the new advancements in 3D printing technology?
Now, I didn't know they were that good at 3D printing metal, that it would be up to automotive specifications, but it is. Now, it's not very fast and it's not economical, but it replaces the entire supply chain. So you could be a car maker, and you wouldn't need to depend on anybody for parts, even replacement parts. You just print them.
Now, there must be some parts of it, like the battery, that they don't print. But it's kind of cool that you could print your own car if you had half a billion dollars. Price will go down. Here's another cool technology. MIT Technology refused talking about it. So you've already seen probably some headphones that would allow you to translate from one language to another.
So if you haven't seen it, the tech is really good now with AI where you can just be talking to somebody who speaks another language and your little ear pods or your headphones instantly translated into your language. But the limitation on that was it could do one at a time. So it was sort of good for a one-on-one conversation.
But what if you went to dinner with five friends who only spoke different languages? Well, apparently they now have a translation device that could handle all of that. and it would identify who's talking and translate their language to yours. So you can do multiple languages at the same time talking to you, and it would translate all of them. Now, if that really works, that's kind of impressive.
Chapter 5: How are translation devices evolving?
That's really impressive. I saw a clip that Andrew Huberman had a guest who was a top ADHD doctor. And he explains ADHD in detail, but one of the things that caught my interest, because I have ADHD, I don't know if I do or not, actually. Everybody says they do, is that ADHD brains are interest-driven brains. as opposed to importance-driven.
So if something interesting, it takes all their attention, whereas non-ADHD people are just doing whatever they think is most important to do. Does that feel like that captures it to you? I have this hypothesis that's not really based on, you know, logic or anything really.
It's just a hunch that ADHD could be cured with a reframe and maybe a little bit of practice just to make sure the reframe sticks. Now, I don't know exactly what reframe it would be, but I compare the ADHD brain to my own and I say, Why would you not be able to do what I do? And so I'm just going to throw out some ideas.
If I'm getting ready in the morning or I'm getting ready to go somewhere, I have two sets of thoughts that run all the time. One is what I'm doing. Well, actually three, three sets of thoughts. One is what I'm doing, you know, brushing my teeth or whatever. Two is whatever fun thing I'm thinking about that day. Oh, I'm going to do this or I'm thinking about the simulation theory.
And I'm just sort of going back and forth between brushing my teeth and thinking about fun things. But the third thing that's always in there is what time it is. The number of times that I would look at the time As I'm getting ready to do this show, you've probably noticed I'm usually on time. I probably looked at the time maybe 80 times. But I wasn't super aware of it.
It's just that I have a habit of thinking what I'm doing. some cool thought on top of it, unless what I'm doing is really absorbing. It's not always absorbing. And then what time is it? And then I'm just doing those three things all the time. What am I doing? What cool thought am I having? What time is it? And I don't do anything but that.
Now, are you telling me that people with ADHD could not be trained to think of three things and cycle through them? Really? Really? Because one of the things I've noticed about ADHD people, I've known quite a few, is if you made a suggestion about what they should do differently, they would not do it. Or they would do it once in a way that was clearly designed to fail.
And then they'd say they can't do it anymore. And I don't have any problems like that. I don't have any problems where if it really made a big difference in my life, that I wouldn't just keep poking at it. It's like, okay, that didn't work. Tomorrow I'll try this. Okay, that didn't work. Tomorrow I'll try this. And I would just keep trying things until something worked.
But I've never seen an ADHD person do that. Now, is that because they can't focus on it? It feels like there's just a different... set of interests. And not just what's interesting, but I think it's a lack of feeling that... Well, here's... I guess this is the provocative part. I'm usually also thinking about what would be the impact on other people if I'm late. Do you do that?

Chapter 6: What insights does Scott Adams share about ADHD?
So I'm doing something for other people, even if I'm doing it for myself. And I wonder... Yeah, I wonder if that's, do the ADHD people never think what would be the impact on other people? They must. But maybe they don't think about it when they're getting ready. Anyway, so I don't have the answers. I just have more questions than answers.
But I'm relatively positive that there's some kind of reframe that could be just practiced a little bit that would cure ADHD. But I don't know what that would be. I think it's doable, though. According to the New York Post, half of Gen Z job seekers believe that their college degrees have already been obsolete because of AI. Half?
What kind of majors do they have that half of them think their jobs are obsolete? Well, at the same time they think their jobs are obsolete... I was watching Mike Rowe on a Benny Johnson podcast and Mike Rowe was saying that there are 482,000 open jobs in the US that nobody wants to take those jobs.
Perfectly good jobs, but they might be dirty jobs and they might be in a place that you don't want to be and that sort of thing. But at the same time that half the jobs are being eliminated, we've got a whole bunch of jobs that Can't get filled. So you probably remember a Naval post on X. I hope I can paraphrase it.
But the idea is that programmers would not be eliminating the job of programmers with AI because it can do coding. But rather a programmer plus AI would be getting rid of your job. And it feels to me that if you add AI to the world, you've created more opportunity than you've taken away.
For example, if I were not doing what I do, and I want to use my time for something else, I would be absolutely learning to use AI to code in Python or whatever else I need to create an app. And I would be creating apps. And I would do it every day. I would have an app a day until one of them worked. But I would think of the world in terms of infinite opportunity.
Even if the app doesn't last a year, you might be able to make a killing and it's done in six months. But I think people have got to reorient their brain from AI is going to take my job to, oh my God, the things I could do with AI. because it's going to be available to everybody. Well, on CNN, I saw a really dumb conversation with analogy thinkers.
You know how I've told you a million times that if you're thinking in terms of analogies, you're not thinking. It just feels like thinking. So here's a perfect example. The question was, I guess Trump had decided that he doesn't want trans in the military. And the conversation around the table on CNN at the I.B. Phillips show is that what if Trump decided against having blacks in the military?
because he's already decided trans, he doesn't want trans, couldn't he just decide as commander in chief he doesn't want blacks in the military? Now, does that make sense to you to even ask that question? Because trans we see as a medical condition. And there's a long history of medical conditions being banned in the military, am I right?

Chapter 7: How are Democrats and Republicans differing in action?
So this is where I call the difference between Democrats and Republicans, the Yoda frame. The Yoda frame is that Republicans do and Democrats not do. All they do is try to stop the doing. And every time the Republicans take any step in the right direction or wrong, it doesn't matter what direction, they try to make any step forward, there's like this massive Democrat attack to try to stop them.
So in this case, the mayor and three Democratic members of Congress got arrested But remember that the election that wasn't too long ago with the Wisconsin Supreme Court seat and all the smart people were saying, uh-oh, if this is lost to the Democrats, they'll have enough power in the court. If somebody brings a lawsuit to potentially redraw the gerrymandered area and add some
Democrats to the House and maybe take control. And sure enough, Mark Elias, remember I tell you that if you know what's happening, you don't know anything. But if you know who is doing it, well, you might know everything. So if you don't know who Mark Elias is, you should do a little research on that because his name pops up a lot. It's always in the context of changing the
The rules are the laws so that they're more friendly to Democrat power grabs. So here he is. He's filed a lawsuit with the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The AP is reporting exactly like we expected. And he's challenging the maps that are gerrymandered, which is an interesting approach because isn't everything gerrymandered?
You know, don't we just sort of live with the fact that the party that's in power gets the gerrymander of the state? Yeah. But apparently that's being challenged, and of course it will go to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and almost certainly it's going to go exactly the way Republicans worried. It will be a Democrat making a Democrat decision for the benefit of Democrats. That's my guess.
Meanwhile, you're aware that Trump has a bunch of crypto that's worth quite a bit, apparently. And Norm Eisen, which is another name you should know, again, if you don't know who Norm Eisen is, you're not really understanding the world. Knowing him and what he does is key to understanding all of American politics. If you don't know that, who he is and what he does, you're really going to be lost.
Everything will look confusing. Like, why is that happening? Why is that happening? Anyway, he was on Jim Acosta's podcast. Turns out they're good buddies. And Mike Benz is saying that if you sort of read between the lines, Norm Eisen was trying to get some prosecutor to go after Trump or the Trump family maybe too for something in crypto. Now, is there something specific that's illegal?
Not that we know of. But would that stop Norm Eisen from, you know, hoping you can get a prosecutor to look into it and find something that's not appropriate? It looks like that's probably going to happen. And he points out that 40% of Trump's net worth is in crypto. So if you really wanted to hurt Trump. that would be a big target.
And the thing that's the creepiest about Norm Eisen is how happy he gets when he thinks about screwing Trump. You shouldn't be that happy. Like, oh, oh, oh. You know what I mean? It's like, oh, we really need to, oh, oh, oh. A little too happy. Anyway, that will be another case of Trump do and maybe normize and stops them from doing.

Chapter 8: What does Scott Adams think about Norm Eisen's influence?
15, according to Newsmax, 15 states are suing over Trump's move to fast-track oil and gas projects. So there are 15 states who do not want their economy to grow if it means that they're fast-tracking oil and gas projects. Now this is another example of Republicans do, Democrats not do. Whatever it is that the Republicans want to do, there's going to be a Democrat who launches a legal challenge.
How about this? Trump's going to reopen a little under 5,000 square miles of ocean off of New England for commercial fishing. It's something that had been an Obama-Biden era restriction on fishing in that area. Now, there has not yet been a legal challenge, but do you think there won't be? Of course there will, because Republicans do. And Democrats not to.
So, yeah, I think the fact that Trump opened it up will probably mean nothing in the long run because the Democrats will find some judge to block it. Because they always do. Post-millennials reporting on that. Here's something scary and I would not have expected. So apparently Justice Sotomayor
went to an ABA event, the American Bar Association, all the lawyers, and said to the audience of lawyers, quote, our job is to stand up and that, quote, we can't lose the battles we are facing. We need trained and passionate and committed lawyers to fight this fight. What fight? Fight this fight. What fight is she talking about? I can only think of one.
As a Supreme Court justice, did she just go into an audience of lawyers and tell them that she's on their side and they're fighting against Trump? Because that's what it sounds like. That might be the least appropriate thing I've ever heard from a Supreme Court justice. It makes a mockery of the whole system. True enough. There's a post on that by Kerry Severino, who was explaining it.
Meanwhile, over at MSNBC, Jen Psaki... as a show that's moved into the spot that was Rachel Maddow's weekday spot. Rachel Maddow's going back to one-day week. During Trump's first 100 days, Rachel Maddow bravely decided that she would work a regular schedule of five days. So brave. But she's back to one day. So Jen Psaki goes into that spot, and apparently the... the ratings plummeted.
Now, I'm not completely surprised because Jen Psaki is sort of the poor man's Rachel Maddow. She's Rachel Maddow except without the plastic face. You know, Rachel Maddow's face just morphs and changes as she talks, whereas Jen Psaki looks like Jen Psaki the entire time she's talking. Rachel Maddow looks like she's
being inhabited by demons but the demons are just passing through have you ever noticed that it's like one demon after another it's like oh It's like one demon goes through and then the other one just takes over.
But it's very entertaining and apparently Jen Psaki doesn't have that going for her because every minute she's on the air, she just looks like Jen Psaki, which is a pretty good way to look. She's a good looking human being. Anyway, so the Democrats continue to talk about how they don't have any ideas. So the hilarious thing to me is that the Democrats became aware that their problem is no ideas.
