What is the simultaneous sip?
Experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tidy, shiny human brains. All you need for that is a cup or mug or glass. Tank or chalice or sty in 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. It's the dopamine hit of the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And damn it, it's happening right now. Go. My enjoyment of that sip is unparalleled, really. Well, let's talk about some science-y things and such. Then we'll get into all the ugly politics. I know you want that. You want it bad. We got some good stuff today. Well, according to What's Up With That, Watts is spelled W-A-T-T-S, What's Up, for the second time in a week, climate scientists were surprised with an increased CO2 absorption mechanism. So it turns out that there were two things that climate scientists might have gotten wrong about CO2 absorption. Number one is how quickly plants absorb it.
What surprising findings did scientists discover about CO2 absorption?
Number two is how much heat can be absorbed by the ocean. So let's say if you were building a climate model to measure temperature, and two of the things that you knew you got very wrong were plants and oceans, how do you think your final number looks? Let's see. The only things we got wrong were the plants and the oceans. Well, how about all the clouds? You know, just the regular, eh, don't ask about the clouds. about the sun and the sunspots don't ask don't ask don't ask so i always think that the climate models are sort of the ultimate test of how much you understand about the world now i don't know if the i don't know if the temperature of the world is going up and i don't know if co2 is involved the only thing i know for sure is that you can't tell with the climate model
That's the only thing I know for sure. But most of the world has been hypnotized into thinking that the scientists, although they're continually updating the variables and assumptions that go into the climate models, they're still right. No matter how many times you change them, still right. And if they're wrong, we'll change them until they're right again, somehow, because we know what's right.
Why are climate models considered unreliable?
Start with that, and then we'll make our models match it. All right, here's some more science. Let's see how you could have done with this. Would you have needed a study to tell you the following? According to American Education Research Association, students with a growth mindset learn more in school. There's actually been a study of that now. So if you have a growth mindset, you'll learn more. Ah. What kind of students would have a growth mindset, do you think? Now, a growth mindset, the way they defined it, is that you believe that if you study, you can learn a lot. So what kind of people... Just sort of naturally know that if they study, they'll learn a lot. Would it be dumb people? Would it be smart people? There you go. There you go. Yep.
Let me use my own life example where anecdote beats science. Now, normally science beats anecdote. Here would be a case where anecdote totally beats science. When I was about six years old, and this is true, by the way, I'm making it into a more interesting story, but it's true. When I was about six, I looked into a mirror and I said to myself, you know what? I don't think you're going to play in the NBA. And I was right. Turns out that at six years old, I could accurately ascertain I was not headed for the NBA. So then I said, what the hell can you do? You'd better get some kind of a life plan here. You're not going to play in the NBA. And so I said to myself, well, what am I good at? And I thought, huh, according to all these adults, they keep telling me I'm smarter than average. So I go, hmm, I'll bet I could learn a lot. And so I developed a growth mindset because everybody, including me that I knew, thought I would be good at school. And then I was.
Now, did you really need to run a study that people who are pretty sure they're good at school and that going to school and learning will be good for them, they end up learning more? Did we need to study that? Did we? I think you could have just asked Scott next time. Well, I didn't see this coming. New York City has a drought. Apparently it was drier than normal in October.
