What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
I'm here. Must be time for something. You know what I mean? Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams and it's the best time you'll ever have in your life. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or Charles 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better, a little oxytocin extra today. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Oh my goodness, so good. So, so good. Well, let's start with some science and we'll get to the politics. And today I will give you my official prediction for the election.
How can positive emotions affect mental health?
You're going to want to hear that. Because, you know. Anyway, so according to SciPost, there was a study that says... If you have a habit of suppressing positive emotions, it could lead to lower well-being. Let me see if I can put this in my own words. If you refuse to act happy, you will be more sad. Okay, again, could have saved a little bit of time and money just by asking me, Hey, Scott, do you think that acting happy could be good for your mental health? And I would say, you mean when things are going well? Yeah, when things are going well, if you act happy and enjoy it, will that be good for your mental health? I'd say, let me think about that. Yes. Yes, it would. Save your money on that study. You don't need it. That's what I would have said. In other news, study finds, which I guess is a site of some kind, there's a social crisis. Four in ten people, I think it's Americans, haven't made new friends in over a year. How many of you have made a new friend in the past year? Do you make a new friend most years? What do normal people do?
What does Scott Adams say about socializing in America?
I don't know because I'm not a normal person. Do most of you make new friends every year? I'm quite impressed if you do, you do. All right. All right. Well, those of you who make, those of you who make new friends every year, my hat is off to you. Good job on that. But, uh, more on this survey, uh, more than a third of Americans, 37% say their, their social life is stuck in a rut. And, uh, It's been at least a year for many. It's been at least a year since they've gone to a concert. So 59% of the respondents said it's been at least a year since they've gone to a concert with a friend. How many of you even go to concerts with friends? And of the entire public, what percentage of them ever go to a concert? If 60% of them have not gone to one in a year, let's say 40% have,
Isn't 40% a lot of people to have gone to a concert in one year? Like even one? I don't understand this poll at all. And then it says 44 have not been on a vacation with friends in a year. How often do you go on vacation with friends? Is that something normal people do? I have been on vacation with friends. It's something that's happened, and I enjoyed it. It was great. But it's not the main way people go on vacation, is it? Anyway, I have a theory that the reason people are doing less stuff and going to fewer parties is there's less drinking. People who don't drink don't really enjoy parties the same as people who drink enjoy parties. So if you were to say to me in say my 30s, What would you think of the idea of seeing a bunch of people in your demographic group, not racial, but let's say same socioeconomic group, and same age-ish, and you're all going to have some drinks and eat some good food? I would say to myself, that's like as good as it gets. I can't wait for that. Now, all you do is take the alcohol out of the equation.
All right, you're going to meet with some people you love, and you're going to eat some good food, And you can drink some water. It's not nearly the same. Pretty much the drinking was the organizing focus of the gathering. So you still like the people just as much, but the event? Maybe you'd rather go to the gym.
