What is the highlight of human civilization?
Looking good. 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. But if you'd like to take this 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 or tank or 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 of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Oh, incredible. Sound is working. Video is working.
How can a daily walk impact cognitive aging?
I think everything's working today. Would you like to talk about some new things in science and the new studies? Yes, let's, before we talk about the politics. According to a publication called The Conversation, did you know that taking a short daily walk might reverse your cognitive aging by four years? Yes. It turns out that exercise is good for your health in almost every way that you can imagine. Almost every way. So yes, it can make you a little bit faster in your cognitive processing, they found. Here's the way I use this. In my job, since my job is creative and writing and I have to be pretty sharp to do it, If I work several hours in the morning, which I typically do, you're watching it right now, I can't just sort of after this go right into just another three or four hours of work. So often I will take a walk to reactivate my brain. So I actually use a walk, specifically walking, as something that adds, it feels like it adds 10 to 20 points to my IQ within an hour.
I mean, I can really, really feel the difference in concentration and brain activity. So take a walk. It's good for you in every possible way. According to SciPost, you won't believe this. I mean, this will be unbelievable. Science is finally, well, I mean, sometimes I make fun of science, but then it comes up with a great finding like this that is completely on left field. You'll never see this one coming, but can you believe this? There's a new study that suggests that you'll be happier if your partner is happy. Okay, I didn't see that coming. So you're saying if I'm in a loving relationship with somebody, the most important person in my life, that if they're unhappy, I'll have more trouble being happy. Huh. I don't know.
Maybe that whole happy wife, happy life thing is real. But they're talking specifically about cortisol and they measured your chemistry to find out how happy you are. And sure enough, if your partner's in a good mood, you're more likely to be in a good mood. Do you know how they could have saved a little money on that study? Yeah, you do. You could have just asked me.
What does science say about happiness in relationships?
And maybe you could have just asked me, is taking a walk good for your brain? I would have said, yes, you don't have to study that. Here's another one. You'll never see this one coming. Again, this is science just shocking us. According to Sinhala Guide, There are two new studies that show that if you work in a toxic workplace, you're more likely to have depression. Huh. Let's see. I didn't see this coming. So if the thing that you spend 60 hours a week doing, your primary focus in life that's not your family life, that if it's toxic, it will make you unhappy. Okay. Okay. Didn't see it coming. Didn't see that coming. No, I did see it coming. That's three for three. Three scientific studies you didn't need to do. Walking makes you healthy. Unhappy spouse makes you unhappy.
Toxic workplace makes you depressed. But according to popular science, Tokyo has a new idea for increasing their population, as you might know. Japan, like other developed countries, they've got a big demographic problem. They've got 10% of their countries over the age of 80. And they're not producing enough kids to drive their economy in the future. So they're moving to, according to popular science, they're moving to a four-day work week so that you have an extra day for fucking. I'm not making that up. Japan... This is a real story from the real news. Japan is moving to a four-day work week primarily for the purpose to have an extra day for fucking so that you can make more kids. Now, that's the kind of politics I like to see.
