What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time. If you'd like to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank of 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 of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Go. Oh, delicious. Probably the best one I've ever had. Well, if you're thinking about what to buy for your Christmas loved ones, look at that stuff behind me over my shoulder. The Dilbert 2025 calendar.
How can caffeine impact health?
You can only find it at Dilbert.com and the link to the sales page. And four books, one of which will be just perfect for somebody in your life. So remember that. Well, there's an article in the Spectator Index. There's a new scientific study that says caffeine might have a protective effect on Parkinson's disease. Did a very large study. That's right. Coffee can do anything. So if any of you were coming down with Parkinson's, I think the simultaneous sip has protected you for at least one more day. So no Parkinson's for you. There's a study, according to SciPost, that finds that people who are in relationships tend to be happier than single people. Huh. People in relationships are happier than single people.
You know how they could have saved a little money on that study. Maybe ask me why just about every human being who has ever been born tries to get into a relationship, could it be because it makes them happier? Possibly. Possibly. Did you know, according to No Ridge, I guess that's the publication, that if you got extra 46 minutes of sleep, it can boost your gratitude, resilience, and well-being? For those of you who didn't know that extra sleep is good for you, Yeah, no, it turns out, sleep. Healthy food, sleep, exercise. I know, I know. Every day we're surprised to find out those things are good for you. Just should have asked Scott. But here's one that's surprising, according to Aarhus University. I like this university name, A-A-R-H-U-S. Aarhus. Where do you go to school?
Aarhus University. I like it. Anyway, they did a study and found out you can satisfy your appetite just by looking at pictures of food on your phone. Well, that's going to save me a lot of time, because I've been wasting my time eating and pooping, and I can just scroll. No, I'm just kidding. You still need to eat, no matter what. But here's the interesting part. You have to see the same picture 30 times, and then you get bored with it, and then you don't want to eat it. So if you're hungry and you see a picture of your favorite food once, it's going to make you hungrier. You'll be, oh, I'm so hungry. I want those french fries or whatever. But if you look at it 30 different times, not only will you be bored, but you'll be less hungry.
Now, what does that remind you of? Let me tell you. Remember I taught you in my book, Reframe Your Brain, which is over this shoulder, right there. Reframe Your Brain. One of the stories in there is that If you don't already know this, along with my audience here on my live stream, we cured the common cold. I'm sorry, the common sneeze, not the cold. I haven't cured a cold yet. Yet. But it won't work on every sneeze. What doesn't work on the sneeze is the cat, you know, sort of sneak up on you. But if no one's coming and you're petting a cat and you don't want to scare the cat, you can actually imagine the sneeze and it cancels the sneeze. Now, you don't believe that works, do you? If you haven't tried it, you don't believe it works.
But a lot of people have tried it, including me, a bunch of times. It works. It won't work on every sneeze, like not the fast ones that just like hit you. But if you know it's coming for like 30 seconds, just imagine yourself sneezing and it goes away. It's the damnedest thing. So I do believe this study about looking at food 30 times, I do think that could work.
