Chapter 1: What are the latest updates on the stock market?
And here I am just checking on your stocks, and they look to be up. Stocks are up. Inflation rose by 2.3%, which I think is good news, right? All right, let's get my comments working, and then we got a show. Then we got a show. Come on in here. You'll love it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Oh, a mystery just got solved.
I can't tell you what it is, but in the comments, somebody just solved a mystery for me. Good. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it's the best thing that ever happened to you.
But if you want to take a chance on taking this 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 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 hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. Ah, perfection. Well, let's talk about the news, shall we? We'll start with some science, get you warmed up. UCLA scientists, they found a molecule they think could cure baldness.
Chapter 2: What is the latest news about baldness cures?
So they got a cure for baldness, they think. Do you know when was the first time I read a news story that said science had a cure for baldness? Probably 50 years ago. Do you know when was the second time? probably 49.5 years ago. Every six months, I see a story that baldness has maybe been cured.
Do you know how much baldness has been cured in the last 50 years of great advancements in curing baldness? Not a lot. And generally, if they find something that does cure your baldness and makes your penis not work, it's pretty much a guarantee. So, no, I don't believe anything about any story that says they're going to cure my baldness or anybody else's.
According to a story in Newsweek, psychopaths are more attractive. Did you know that? Psychopaths are more attractive, and therefore, because people trust attractive people. They shouldn't, but they do. The psychopaths can get away with more because they get trusted because they're attractive. Now, here's my question to you.
Chapter 3: How are psychopaths perceived in society?
Where's the cause and where's the effect if psychopaths are more attractive? I've told you this story before about when I was very young. I remember looking in the mirror and saying to myself, hmm, looks like you're not going to play in the NBA. Probably not. Chances are you won't play in the NBA. And so I planned my life around the alternative, which is go to college and build up my brain.
Do you think the psychopaths When they're very young, they can tell they're unusually attractive already. And they're not psychopaths yet. But they quickly learned that because they're attractive, they can get away with murder. So I think being attractive turns you into a psychopath because you don't need to worry about consequences. Whereas I have to worry about consequences.
So that's why I'm such a nice guy. But you've heard that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Is that all that's going on? Could it be that the attractiveness power of the psychopath, well, maybe it just starts as attractiveness power, but then they just become psychopaths. I don't know. Just my hypothesis.
Here's a study that I found interesting, that if you want to change your location, well, apparently Nobel Prize winners are more likely to be Nobel Prize winners if they have changed their location more times. So in other words, if you used to live in one place, but then you moved, and maybe you moved again, you're more likely to become a Nobel Prize winner. And there's a reason for that.
If you were, let's say you were a genius and you were born in Silicon Valley with other geniuses, you would fairly soon become like the other people. So it would be really good that you were around other geniuses. That would be a real advantage. It might make you smarter, but only to a certain level. And then you would be sort of into groupthink.
This is the thought from this study from the Ohio State University.
but if you were let's say a scientist and you learned everything from the other scientists who lived where you live because you'd have some association with them and then you moved you'd get a whole new bunch of scientists and that could take you to another level but i would uh i would extend this from nobel scientists to just ordinary creative people trying to create
Because one of the things I noticed is that changing where I am physically, not the city, but just changing, well, sometimes city, but changing the room, doing some work at Starbucks. I've tried going to the library. It all works. Every time I change my location, I can do more work. So try it. Change your location if you're not being creative enough.
Well, if you haven't seen the videos, Saudi Arabia is really rolling out the red carpet, as I like to say, for Trump, who has arrived there today. They had three Saudi jets give Air Force One an escort, which I don't think was necessary for any additional protection. But it just made it look like a big deal. It was kind of impressive.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Trump's meeting in Saudi Arabia?
But is there really going to be a Democrat or a group of Democrats who insist that we pay more for pharmaceutical stuff? Bernie thinks so, because Bernie has said publicly now, he goes, further, as Trump well knows, his executive order will be thrown out by the courts. Will it? It will only be thrown out if a Democrat takes it to the court.
How in the world are they going to survive that politically if they take that to the court? But I suppose Bernie probably knows his party better than I do. I guess I would reflexively disagree with anything Trump does. But here's the good news.
He says if Trump is serious about making real change rather than just issuing a press release, it's an executive order, not a press release, he will support legislation I will soon be introducing. to make sure we pay no more for prescription drugs than people in other major countries. Major countries? Ah, maybe he'll limit it to major countries. We'll see.
If Republicans and Democrats come together on this, we can get it passed in a few weeks. So unless there's a trick in there, maybe the trick is the major countries. It looks like Bernie Sanders is fully on board with
with trump's uh executive order he just wants to make it stronger and make it part of a part of the law so we'll see if that's real or that's not real but i i can't wait to see which democrat would take a chance on challenging this in court do you think that's possible
I'm going to make a prediction that even the Democrats are not dumb enough to go all in on we should pay more for pharmaceutical because we hate Trump. I don't think they can do it. I mean, they've done some crazy things just to be on the other side of Trump, but I don't think they can do this. Even Jasmine Crockett can't do this. She might try, though.
Anyway, as you know, Trump has allowed refugee status for the white South Africans who want to escape the possible genocide in South Africa. Now, there's some disagreement. If you watch MSNBC, you'll find out there's no white genocide in South Africa. And there's violence, you know, everybody has violence.
So why would we be favoring the white people in South Africa, says MSNBC, when everybody's, you know, it's a dangerous place. And, you know, there's just very, very little... evidence that many farmers have lost their land or been killed or anything. But it's only like 59 people, I guess, at least initially.
And I just love the trolling aspect of this combined with the fact that I do think that if I were living there, based on what I've seen in the news and what looks like is coming, And it's more about what's coming, because if you look at the rhetoric, the rhetoric in South Africa is looking pretty dangerous.

Chapter 5: What do the revised Biden job numbers reveal?
not as necessarily Trump supporters, but important voices that are the best of the best in podcasting. I think the Democrats will probably catch up and have some big podcasts, but I haven't really heard of any. That's probably just because I don't pay attention to that part of the world. Somebody's throwing in Jack Posobiec. I'll throw him in there. What about Steve Bannon?
Steve Bannon isn't just the guy who needs a haircut who does a show every day. Steve Bannon is really smart. I don't know if you understand how smart he is. He's really smart, like super smart. Even if you disagree with him, you have to give him that.
so it does seem to me like there's a just an enormous talent difference at this point yeah you could throw i'm seeing lots of other names go by i won't uh i won't have to list every name but there's a big difference in the capability at this point anyway Sam Altman was talking about where AI is going. He says 2025 is the year of the AI agent.
Now, the AI agent would be you can have an AI that acts like a person who does whatever you want it to do, work tasks or personal tasks. I'm not so sure because I don't think there is yet an AI agent that won't hallucinate. If there is, maybe I could be corrected on that, but I feel like they don't have a solution for AI agents. I think it would either be too dangerous.
I think they're close, but I don't know if they can close that last gap where the AI agent is dependable. So we'll see. I mean, there's no reason I would be right on that. If you were going to bet, you would bet on Sam Altman. You wouldn't bet on me. But I'm a little bit skeptical because if it could be done, I think it would have been done already.

He thinks 2026 will be the year of scientific research and breakthroughs. In other words, AI doing its own scientific research and breakthroughs. That could be true. Then 2027 is when AI and robotics get together and then you've got robots and AI. Now, in theory, there will be Optimus Prime that will be driven by AI. And that will be available at least in small amounts at the end of this year.
I wouldn't be too surprised if that got pushed back. So I think maybe Sam Altman's estimate that it's 2027 is probably right. And I think that that may have to do with the fact that you can't quite trust the AI yet. So putting it in a robot, might be a little dangerous in 2025. I think it's doable. You could have a robot in 2025, but probably 2027 is when we trust it.

Chapter 6: How are prescription drug prices expected to change?
If they don't have the mindset that, oh yeah, come on in and compete with our local businesses. So I feel like that's overblown. I just feel like there's going to be a soft decoupling. It's very smart for Scott Besant to say directly and publicly that we don't want to decouple from China. That's exactly what I would say if I wanted to decouple from China. It's just that you can't do it quickly.
Doing it quickly would be a disaster for both countries. But a soft decouple, where we just sort of quietly develop locally the ability to make our own clothing, I guess, or to buy it from Mexico or... or Vietnam. So I think we should say, yes, we want to do all kinds of business with you, China. Yeah, bring it on. Let's do some more. Oh, the last thing we want to do is decouple.
No, no, no, we don't want to decouple. And then decouple as fast as you can. but in a reasonable, common-sense way that doesn't destroy you as you're decoupling. So I say, don't decouple while you decouple. So that's how I'd play it, too. Gavin Newsom says, Our California leader here has ordered California cities to shut down the homeless encampments.
He says there's no more excuses, Blaze Media is reporting on this. The homeless advocates, of course, were not happy about this at all. So what does that mean? Doesn't it feel like there's something missing in that?
if you close down the homeless encampments which is basically the tents and you get rid of the tents where are they gonna go it isn't the and the whole point of it is that they were unwilling to go anywhere else so if you said pick up your tent and get out of here to where They always had indoor options, right? For a long time, they've had the indoor options.
The reasons they stay outdoors is so they don't have to obey any of the rules of indoor living. In other words, they can just do their fentanyl and lay there and they just prefer it. Now, the fact that you and I don't prefer it shouldn't be influential in your opinion. They prefer it. And it's hard to understand that at some point of addiction and mental illness, they prefer living outdoors. So,
I don't know how this can work. There's just a part missing. Where is it that they go? I've always liked the idea of creating a homeless encampment on public land that's just away from the other people. I don't mind how many homeless people there are as long as they're not on the sidewalk so that I can walk by and the freedom poopers will not be doing their thing. So
if this is um somehow paired with there's a place you can go it's just and it's very nice place you know maybe it's even has more trees and maybe maybe has better maybe they could give them some bathroom facilities maybe even some a little bit of health care or something so but if there's a place to go I guess so.
So here again, you can see that Gavin Newsom is trying to be more of a centrist, which I define as trying to be a Republican without going all the way. Well, according to the MIT Technical Review, there is a new technology that police might be using soon that doesn't use facial recognition. but it can still recognize people.
