What makes Coffee with Scott Adams special?

Scott Adams 0:01
As soon as my comments are up, there we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm almost positive you've never had a better time 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 a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Happens now. Go. Very good. You know, I'm proud of all of you for sipping so competently. All right. Well, lots of stories today. Let's start with the good news.

According to Andrew Huberman, you can turn yourself into a morning person in three days of pain. So just three bad days and you can become a morning person. Here's how. set your clock for 5 p.m.

Can you really become a morning person?

Scott Adams 1:31
every day, no matter how tired you were the night before, and get up at 5, drink coffee, have some social interaction, a little bit of sunlight, a little bit of eating, and those things will set your clock. The next thing you know, you're a morning person. Do you believe that? How many of you believe that you can change yourself to a morning person if you're not already one? Well... I can only tell you my anecdotal experience, which is in college, I strategically decided to become a morning person. And I turned myself into one. And I didn't know I could ever be one. It didn't seem likely, because I like to stay up late, just like most people. But very quickly, and with the help of coffee and sun and food, I guess, I turned myself into a person who loves just life.

loves the morning. I mean, the first four hours of every day of my life are kind of terrific every single day. Really just terrific. And that's what you get by being a morning person. Now beyond that, I believe I've lived two full lifetimes. Because most of your day is garbage time. You know what I mean? You're like, it's time to take out the trash to the curb. And you're walking to your trash cans. And most of it's not really living. But the morning time I really use for all the good stuff. So it's almost like it doubled my life. So that's cool. However, I have a question whether all people can be turned into morning people. My suspicion is, because science seems to think that there are morning people and non-morning people, that this won't work for everyone. However, I also have this following hypothesis, that night people are morning people. that night people like the time after midnight. That's the morning.

What are the implications of gene editing?

So if you like to be up after midnight because it just feels great to be up after midnight, that's probably how I feel at 4.30 in the morning when I'm up. And often I'm up at 3 just because I feel like it. So there you go. Be a morning person. Double your life. According to Gilmore Health News, there's now this gene editing program Technology that might remove your anxiety and alcohol dependency linked to adolescent binge drinking. So if you're a binge drinker when you were young and it changed your brain, now they think they can edit your genes to fix it. I have just one comment about this. I don't think I want to go first. You know what I mean? I don't want to be the first person who has gene editing to change their brain. I mean, it could work out great. It has great potential. But I don't want to go first. Let's see what happens to somebody else. It turns them from a Republican into a Democrat. You've got to watch that stuff. Well, this is the most predictable thing you could ever imagine in the world of technology.

According to TechCrunch, guess what got invented? Yes, it's exactly what you expected somebody to make. And why did it take so long? Somebody made a way that you can fake being on a Zoom call. Now, you know you wanted that. You know the Dilbert comic was waiting for it. And apparently you can take a quick video of yourself and then AI will remember what you look like.
