Sometimes you just have to power through it. And just make sure my comments are working here. Yes, they are. And that means an incredible show is ahead of you. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. Probably the best day 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 for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tanker, Charles Stein. a canteen jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Enjoy me now for the unparalleled pleasure. The dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Oh, perfect. Yeah, it's just perfect. Well, good news, researchers from China and Brazil.

have finally given us the invention we need it's a robot dog that can search for fire ants so if you have a big problem with fire ants you've got a robot dog solution that's coming that can recognize fire ants and do what with them i don't know just spot them i guess so you can go kill them now what i want is a robo dog that can pick weeds and also pick vegetables and stuff from a garden.

What innovative technology is being developed to combat fire ants?

So what I want to have is on the side of my house, I want to have a little little high house, you know, greenhouse kind of thing. And I want to have two or three little robots that have access to everything. They can climb up and pick stuff and get rid of weeds and water things and check for problems. And it'd be smarter than I am, right? If I looked at a leaf and it was dying, I wouldn't know why, but AI would know why, and then it could go fix it. So in theory, I could have my own little mini garden with a little mini gardener, and every day I'd just go in there and there'd be a basket of whatever the latest harvest was. And then I'd give it to my robot chef, and my robot chef would cook it up for me, and I would just have the best food from robots. That's the future.

Well, meanwhile, at MIT, according to Adam Zewi, he has an article on that, that MIT has developed some noise-canceling silk. So it's a sort of fabric-y material that has two different elements to it, at least there are two different aspects to it. Both of them will reduce sound. And I'm thinking to myself, if you could make a piece of silk that people could stick in their ears and not hear their partner snoring, now you've got something. I don't know if that's ever going to happen. But if this silk can cancel noise, it sure seems like you could make some earplugs out of it, and that would change everything. Do you know one of the biggest secrets in America, and I'm guessing it's the same in other countries, is the number of married people who can't sleep in the same room. It just isn't possible because one of them snores. You really can't sleep with a snorer. I learned that the hard way by being the snorer. Yeah, nobody wants to sleep with a snorer.

Anyway, here's a funny story according to The Atlantic. Daniel Engber is writing. that there's this business school scandal that just keeps getting bigger. And the scandal is professors at the business school writing academic papers that are fraudulent. Let's see, what terrible business school has that? I mean, I'd sure hate to have a degree. Can you imagine? Can you imagine having a degree from one of these great business schools that you find out the professors are all a bunch of... Let's see, what business school was it? It was the UC Berkeley Haas School of Business. Okay, that's where I have my MBA. Okay. But the joke's on them because I've also, I disowned them for being racist already.
Scott Adams 4:58
So I don't have to disown them for also being, having professors who are big liars. I already disavowed them for being racist. Oh, poor Haas Business School. Anyway, there was one professor in particular who was just racking up the fake studies and got caught. According to the New York Post, gun ownership has soared among Republican women, but it's declined among Democrat men.
