I think they've...

I think they're very careful about these things and I understand that they may have found some flaws and things, but I remember Elon talked about some of that with some of the SpaceX crafts where they tested things and they tested failures essentially.

They took off some of the heat plates and some of the rockets still survived.

I'm not saying there's no risk.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

i'm sure there is and it's possible that something bad could happen but i i think if they really thought it was a significant chance i don't think they would have done the mission i think they would have found a better solution first so i i have faith in nasa and all the engineers and people around this that they have a lot of confidence that this is going to work um so i'm looking forward to seeing them land and it's a great great accomplishment

um that that was a great press conference i don't know if you guys saw it um okay so owen i'm ready for for you to kick us off with a story here all right so they did a study social media analysis linking polarized political language to distorted thought patterns they analyzed millions of twitter posts between let's see 2016 and 2020 they said uh cognitive distortions like catastrophizing rose 43 percent

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

And individual distortions, or I'm sorry, distortions increased 76% per individual user.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

Not sure how those numbers add up.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

Maybe it's just based on the number of posts or something.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

But yeah.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

You know, they were looking at 100,000 users.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

And so they're saying all categories of this distorted thinking surged, especially emotional reasoning and mind reading.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

And they claim that left-leaners had a steady rise with extremism and right-leaners started higher, possibly being saturated already.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

know if there's some bias built in that study, but they're claiming that the left is the one that ramped up this distorted thinking.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

And yeah, so I think my conclusion, what I think Scott would say is you could have just asked Scott.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

And don't believe those people that say you can get away with it because you can't.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams

It might not happen right away.

I think the IRS is pretty slow and inefficient, but eventually they'll find you and you might end up in prison.

Real Coffee with Scott Adams
The Scott Adams School - 04/10/26 HOME TEAM / Friday Funday

So I don't recommend it.

You've probably only seen the stories on celebrities where they'd end up catching up with those people and they get them on tax evasion and other things, but it would, you know, you're not going to get any special treatment.
