What is the highlight of human civilization discussed?
Sure enough, there's just one more thing. I can't start this show when I've got a little itch on my back where I can't reach it. Hold on. Oh, God. Oh. And that's why you have a telescoping back scratcher at your desk. Get one. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. And if you'd like to take your experience up to a level that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure that dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better, it's called what? Simultaneous sip. That's right. Go. Ah, simptastic. All right, well, you know what I usually do? I usually start the live stream with some science updates, and then I say something like, well, you could have just asked me.
because it was obvious what the result of that scientific study was going to be. But now, instead of showing off all of my scientific knowledge, I'm going to ask you, dear viewers, to see if you can get these ones right. I'll tell you what the study was, and then you tell me what the result of the study was. You ready? Okay. According to SciPost, there was a study to find out... If people tend to mate, or at least become girlfriend, boyfriend, or get married, are they more likely to be attracted to people of similar physical attractiveness? Now, I'm not saying that you wouldn't be more attractive to somebody who's more attractive than you, but when you actually get together, when you actually pair off,
Are you more likely to pair off with somebody who is in your same range of attractiveness? And the answer is, of course you are. Did you really need to do a study for that? Unless one of you is super rich or something. No, people pair off with people that are roughly in their neighborhood. Why would you do otherwise? If you pair off with somebody who's just way out of your range, they're going to cheat on you. Because sooner or later, they're going to be, wait a minute, how did you trick me into marrying you? I'm so much better. Yeah, no, people find people who are similar. Here's another one, also from SciPost. They were studying to find out if people are attracted to altruistic behavior. So if you were in a situation where you were single and you saw somebody of your preferred gender, the one you like, and they were being kind and altruistic, doing something that's like a favor for somebody else, would that attract you? What do you think? Did they need to do this study? No, they didn't need to do the study. Of course it attracts you. Of course. People being nice to other people.
What scientific study results can we guess?
Yes. Yes. Okay. We didn't need to waste any money on that one. All right. Here's another one. They're going to get tougher. All right. Those were easy. Here's a tough one now. Somebody studied vitamin D supplementation, vitamin D. Do you think it was helpful to have more vitamin D? Was your health better if you had more vitamin D? Yes, it was. Have you ever seen a vitamin D study where they said, you know, we studied the hell out of it. We couldn't find any difference in your health. It's like it didn't matter if you took it or not. No, every single study shows it's good for your health. But specifically, it's good for your acute respiratory tract infection. Huh, an acute respiratory tract infection.
Sounds like COVID, which we already know vitamin D is very important for protection. All right, you're three for three. No science was needed. You all knew the answer to that before you even saw it. Here's one. All right, there was a study on erectile dysfunction meds. So meds to get your stuff stiff. And was it associated with more deaths and cardiovascular disease? disease and dementia, or fewer deaths. All right, this one's a tough one. So erectile dysfunction meds like Viagra and the likes, there's two kinds, Tadalafil and Sildenafil. So were those associated with making you healthier in general or did they have a negative effect? What do you think? I'm seeing more deaths, fewer deaths. More, fewer.
