Chapter 1: What is Coffee with Scott Adams about?

0.169 - 43.649 Scott Adams

X-Platform is down today, so we're not going to stream on that one. But the rest of the platforms are working great, as far as I know. So we'll have comments and we'll have a show on Memorial Day weekend when all the lazy people are off on vacation. Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and you've never had a better time.

0

44.45 - 66.368 Scott Adams

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 a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a 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.

0

66.388 - 101.012 Scott Adams

The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. So I'm going to ask a favor from one of the commenters. One of you puts the entire simultaneous sip with the wording in the comments when I'm doing it. Don't do that. because it's a long block, which distracts me.

0

102.332 - 128.085 Scott Adams

So I know you're trying to help, but it's really distracting when you put it in there as I'm talking about it, because it makes me look and say, oh, what's this long block of text? It's probably something important. So if you could, don't do that anymore. Thank you. It would be hard to know that that was a problem, so don't worry about it.

0

129.167 - 165.255 Scott Adams

Well, if the X platform is working after the show, Owen Gregorian will be hosting his spaces. Again, a coffee with Scott Adams after party. But it probably depends highly on whether the X platform is back online. And if not, maybe it gets pushed to the next day. But that's the current thinking. Well, if you happen to hate the New York Knicks, that would be a basketball team.

Chapter 2: What happened in the recent Knicks vs. Pacers game?

166.516 - 197.695 Scott Adams

You've had a good week. I know most of you are not into basketball, but I just have to tell you about how the Indiana Pacers beat the Knicks. Because it's not even a sports story. It's like the biggest coincidence in the world story. So it was the game before this last one. And the Knicks were up by two. And time was running out.

0

198.593 - 232.741 Scott Adams

And one of the better players on the Indiana Pacers takes this long, desperate three-point shot. If it goes in, which was highly unlikely, the Pacers would win. If it missed, the Knicks would win. So you're watching it go and it's really high and it's really far away and it hits the rim and it misses. And the Knicks are like, yes, yes. We won the first game of this playoff.

0

233.982 - 265.562 Scott Adams

And then the ball, because the ball had come from a long distance, when it hit the rim, it went up in the air for a very long distance as well. And when it came down, it went right through the hoop. It was something you would rarely ever see. Now, since it was a three-point shot, the pacers are like, yes, yes, we won because we were only down by two and we just made a three-point shot.

0

266.624 - 296.047 Scott Adams

And then they look at the video, and the guy who shot it, his foot was just on the line, which makes it a two-point shot. So first the Knicks totally won. Then the Pacers totally won. And then it was a tie. I had to go to overtime where the Pacers won. So if you were a Knicks fan, it was a terrible week. And I guess they lost another tight one.

0

297.007 - 327.19 Scott Adams

All right, I'm going to give you a movie recommendation or a movie review, I guess. So I don't know where it is except on Amazon Prime, Prime Video. But it's called The Fountain of Youth. It's brand new. And it features John Krasinski and Natalie Portman, I think, as his sister. And they play these Indiana Jones kind of characters. Now, here's what's great about this movie.

Chapter 3: What is the movie 'The Fountain of Youth' about?

329.47 - 366.33 Scott Adams

Apparently, I'm just guessing, my guess is that the director had some kind of deal with the production studio that he could make the movie any way he wanted to. And he made it old-fashioned-y. And you don't notice it at first. You just think you're watching a movie. Excuse me. Hold up. But at some point, you realize, hey, there was nobody tied to a chair.

0

367.401 - 395.639 Scott Adams

hey, there was no gratuitous like sex scene or those terrible scenes where somebody's showing their love to somebody else and you're like, I get it, I get it. You know, all the things that you hate in a movie, it just simply didn't have them. It was like a wisecracking action movie. So the wisecracking was great because John Krasinski is great at wisecracking. And the characters were great.

0

396.56 - 426.067 Scott Adams

But then you notice... It did have one thing that I don't like in a movie, which is somebody who's underwater for too long. I fast forward through all underwater scenes. But then you realize, wait a minute. There's nothing woke about this movie. The cast is not diverse. There's no overweight black woman who is the key feature.

0

427.368 - 460.48 Scott Adams

It's just good looking people and the two female leads were both attractive. And the lead guy was attractive too. So when was the last time you saw a movie like that? There was nothing woke at all. I don't know how he got it made. I would love to know the backstory. Was it Guy Ritchie? It's a Guy Ritchie film. And it's fun for the whole family. There's no swearing.

0

462.19 - 493.312 Scott Adams

I think there was zero swearing. And basically, it was sort of a genius movie of what he left out. He just sort of left out everything that movies try to put in there. You know, all the stuff you don't want to see. So I recommend it. Fun for the whole family. Well, in other news, according to SciPost, Non-right-handedness is more common across multiple mental health conditions.

Chapter 4: How does left-handedness relate to mental health?

494.073 - 519.945 Scott Adams

You know what non-right-handedness is? It's called left-handedness. So apparently if you're left-handed, you're more likely to have a variety of mental health conditions. Now, that probably includes if you're a leftist, because you know how we've already seen that the Democrats have more mental health problems. and they're actually called leftists.

0

520.925 - 550.983 Scott Adams

So apparently anything left is correlated with mental health problems. Anyway, in other news, according to Discover, we tend to trust people from low-income backgrounds over the wealthy elites. Do you think that's true? Do you trust people from low-income backgrounds more than rich people? I think that depends.

0

552.684 - 584.813 Scott Adams

If you dropped your wallet, would you rather a billionaire found it or somebody from a low-income background? I feel like I'd trust a billionaire to give my wallet back. So that's very situation-dependent. But you can see why Joe Biden used to do, I'm just Lunch Bill Joe. I take the train. I'm just like you. Anyway, according to... some, let's say, neuroscience news.

0

585.273 - 611.534 Scott Adams

AI has higher emotional IQ than humans. You know the emotional IQ where you know how to deal with people's emotional states and your own, et cetera. And I thought to myself, that kind of makes sense because the AI can simply memorize all the situations. And it can just say, all right, Under this situation, people should do this.

0

612.794 - 644.934 Scott Adams

So yes, it makes total sense that AI would have a higher emotional IQ. You could have just asked me. And it's a big deal. Actually, it's a big difference. The AI achieved an average score of 82%, where the humans were at 56%. So if you want some empathy and you want a high emotional IQ, I suggest you get a robot. Robots can set you free.

Chapter 5: What are the implications of AI having a higher emotional IQ?

644.954 - 671.682 Scott Adams

According to Fox News, the ladies of The View have been asked by their boss, the head of Disney, Bob Iger, to cool it with all the political chatter. And then apparently the ladies of The View said, no, it's very important that we do political chatter, so we'll keep doing it.

0

672.843 - 697.917 Scott Adams

I don't know if that was a good idea, because if your boss tells you to do less of something, you probably should do less of it. But I can't believe that The View has the same ratings when they're being political and essentially annoying half of the country. Don't you think their ratings would be higher if they just did everything but politics?

0

699.259 - 733.782 Scott Adams

So it seems like Bob Iger may have the right idea here. But who knows? If you haven't seen this yet, there's some kind of AI called V03 in which they created a bunch of deep fake street interviews. So it's a whole bunch of little clips where somebody is interviewing somebody in the street, usually at night. And until now, I always told myself, you know, I could tell AI from reality.

0

735.342 - 774.352 Scott Adams

But you can't. It's not even just one or two things. It's a whole string of history interviews. And you cannot tell that these are AI. So I don't know how far away we are from making a whole movie. But that was scary. So we've crossed the Scott line. where I say to myself, ah, I could tell that was AI because they have six fingers or there's something about them or the way they talk.

0

775.212 - 806.801 Scott Adams

You absolutely can't tell. It 100% looks real. Crazy. Meanwhile, speaking of crazy and crazy eyes, Hillary Clinton is trying to ruin your Memorial Day weekend because she's made the following suggestion in a post on X. She said, I want you to talk to two people, friends, neighbors, cookout, and attendees about why Trump's proposed budget would be a disaster for American kids.

Chapter 6: What did Hillary Clinton suggest for Memorial Day?

808.522 - 840.248 Scott Adams

And then she goes on to give some examples of what she's talking about. Can you think of a worse idea than bringing up the budget at your Memorial Day barbecue? I can't think of a worse idea Does Hillary get invited to things? She talks like somebody who's never been invited to anything. It's the worst idea of all time. No.

0

840.888 - 874.083 Scott Adams

How about you just shut up about politics and enjoy your neighbors and your family? Shut up. Just shut up about politics. Take a message from Bob Iger. Sometimes, talking about politics could be too much. Meanwhile, according to the College Fix, a Tennessee university is hit with civil rights complaints over 17 race-based scholarships.

0

875.283 - 903.353 Scott Adams

So when they say race-based, it means you can't be a white guy, basically. But some of them are more specific, like you could be An African-American or a Native American or something. So some of them will give you two choices. Oh yeah, Native American or African-American. So there's 17 race-based scholarships.

0

905.374 - 932.479 Scott Adams

I'm kind of happy that that stuff's being dismantled, but don't you think it'll be put right back together as soon as Trump is out of office? Don't you imagine that the minute there's a Democrat who is president, that everything that Trump has dismantled will just go right back to the way it was? Or could it be that the Democrats are happy he's dismantling it, but they can't say it out loud?

0

934.329 - 964.269 Scott Adams

I don't know. I want to be happy about the direction of things, but I don't know how long it's going to last. Kamala Harris, according to that new book by Jake Tapper, some time ago when she was appearing on CNN... And I think it was after Biden did his catastrophic debate performance. And she goes on CNN and she was asked about basically Biden's brain.

Chapter 7: What are the controversies around race-based scholarships?

973.617 - 975.919 Scott Adams

What?

0

977.481 - 1014.811 Scott Adams

What? So the story is that she was very mad. about the question she was asked about the president's cognitive ability. And she said, this MF-er, she used the actual full word, this MF-er doesn't treat me like the damn vice president of the United States, she told colleagues. And then she said, I thought we were better than that.

0

1016.229 - 1043.311 Scott Adams

Well, don't you think they were treating her like the Vice President of the United States? Because the Vice President of the United States, under the condition of the President of the United States just showing that he's cognitively impaired, isn't it exactly her job to figure out whether the 25th Amendment makes sense? To me, it seems like they were treating her like the vice president.

0

1043.812 - 1062.505 Scott Adams

She would be the number one person you should ask that question. Is it time to replace this guy? So I guess she didn't like having any tough questions. But don't you feel lucky that she didn't become president?

0

1065.36 - 1096.451 Scott Adams

the we were so close to having a president kamala harris you know the horse laugh oh oh my god well victor davis uh hansen uh was talking about cnn and all the things that they've they've done that were opposite of news and some of the things he listed was uh He actually went so hard as to say he doesn't know how Jake Tapper is keeping his job at CNN.

Chapter 8: What did Kamala Harris say about the president's cognitive ability?

1097.172 - 1128.129 Scott Adams

Because he mentions, Victor mentions the Russia collusion fail, the Steele dossier fail, the Hunter laptop fail. And he says there's definitely a pattern. to which I would like to add the following. What about the fine people hoax? What about the whole auto pen story? There was nobody in the news business who knew there was an auto pen problem. What about the Biden crime family? Totally ignored.

0

1129.289 - 1162.853 Scott Adams

What about the drinking bleach hoax? Yeah, there's a pattern. But the pattern all comes from the same place, doesn't it? The pattern comes from they created a narrative that Trump was Hitler. Once you've created the narrative that Trump is Hitler, it gives you permission to lie about every story because obviously you don't want to be complicit in making Hitler in charge.

0

1164.173 - 1192.551 Scott Adams

So basically there was one problem. that caused them to no longer be a news entity. And it was that they had convinced themselves that he was Hiller. So one problem caused 50 problems. According to Liz Peek, who's writing for The Hill, they're still trying to figure out who is in charge of that auto pen.

0

1194.022 - 1222.82 Scott Adams

which is kind of hilarious because it's one of the biggest, well, maybe the biggest story in the country. Don't you think if the biggest story in the country was, who's doing all that Autopen stuff? Don't you think that the people who were doing the Autopen stuff should have said, oh, that was me. Yeah, it was the three of us. This was our process. But without that, what are we supposed to think?

0

1225.794 - 1249.744 Scott Adams

There's only one thing you can think if they decided to get real quiet about that process. There's a problem. Because if there were no problem, it would have been like day two. They would have said, oh, here's how it works. Here's the process. Here's our here's our diary of who did what and who signed it.

1250.745 - 1276.108 Scott Adams

The fact that they're just quiet about it and that we have to do research to figure out who was behind the auto pen, that's a pretty good indication that there's a problem. But the thing that to me is scary is that there are two people who were mentioned as likely, not the only people necessarily, but two of the main people who might have been behind the auto pen.

1277.648 - 1314.616 Scott Adams

And what's scary is I'd never heard of them. You know, if the real answer had been, you know, Ron Klain or Jake Sullivan, I would have said, huh, you know, that's not ideal because the president's supposed to be doing the auto pen stuff. But at least I would think, This is a well-known, smart person. Everybody's heard those names. But the names we're hearing are Mike Donilon and Anita Dunn.

1316.017 - 1346.458 Scott Adams

How many of you had ever heard those names before the auto pen thing? Isn't that like giving you a little pause? It's like, huh, I'm not so sure who they even are. So part of the mystery is, why do people we've never even heard of were signing all these things? And then there's the thought about all the clemencies. Weren't there like thousands of clemencies that were signed?

1347.658 - 1377.326 Scott Adams

And you thought to yourself, how could thousands of them being signed? Well, the auto patent. Do you think anybody sold a clemency? I'll bet they did. I'll bet somebody sold the clemency or two. Don't know who. So Susan Rice, you know her from the sort of Obama person. So she did a little video.
