Official Coffee with Scott Adams beanie. And the official Coffee with Scott Adams t-shirt also comes with a hoodie. If you're wondering where you could get yours, just Google Coffee with Scott Adams merchandise. It'll pop right up. I think you can see the link in my ex-bio as well. Or no, you can see the link on the YouTube. Thanks. Just Google it. Coffee with Scott Adams merchandise.
It'll pop right up. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you'd like to take this experience up to the levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a copper mug or a glass, a tank of gel, a canteen 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, dopamine, the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called, yes, the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Oh, the best thing I've ever had. Well, would you like to hear some optimistic things? All right.
We're going to start with some optimistic science and breakthroughs, and we'll get to some optimistic politics, and then we'll get to our optimistic holiday coming up. Everybody good? Lots of optimism? All right. Starting in with, it turns out that there's a study that shows you. There's a paper written by Brandon Bouchillon.
Chapter 2: What optimistic scientific breakthroughs are discussed?
He's an associate professor of journalism at the U of A. He found that the key drivers of loneliness, of course, is not being with people, but that you can solve your loneliness, not completely, but it helps a lot to have online friends. So if you don't have any online friends... and you're lonely, you should try to get some.
For example, you could join Coffee with Scott Adams on the Locals platform, scottadams.locals.com. And for a very small subscription fee, you could get to hang out with all of us in the band cave pretty much every night after dinner. And we'd just hang out. And I didn't start it that way. I started as just extra content. I didn't know what it was going to be.
But it turns out that there are so many lonely people in the world that just knowing that somebody they recognize and likes them and is glad they're there Can talk to you almost every day. So if you're in it for the reducing your loneliness, you made a good play. It's worth the money. All right. There's a study from, let's see, according to the Conversation, that's a publication.
The future looks bright when you're optimistic. So apparently optimism makes you healthier. Did you know that? Optimism makes you healthier? It does. Because if you're optimistic, you're more likely to have a better attitude and less stress. And we know that stress causes you bad health. And optimists are also more likely to do the things that you're supposed to do to stay healthy.
So if you know that eating and exercising and staying away from bad stuff is bad for you, the optimist will actually do that stuff. Why? Because they think it'll work. if you think something's going to work, you're far more likely to do it. So optimists live longer. So one of the reasons you watch this show is that I make you more optimistic. I do that intentionally.
And it makes you think, wait a minute, maybe I could lose weight. Maybe I could exercise more. Maybe I could be smarter about my vote. Yes. Yes. Yes. And there I think I added about seven minutes to your life, just by that little bit of optimism. Seven minutes. You're welcome. All right.
There's a University College London study that says that the language used by mothers affects the oxytocin levels of infants. I'm going to give you an example of that. And I'm going to see if you needed the science to tell you that the oxytocin would be better under one scenario than another. Scenario one. Oh, what's that you got there, little Bobby? Oh, blocks.
Oh, it looks like you built a little fort. Is that what you wanted to do? Oh, good job. You built a little fort. Nice. What are you going to do next? Okay, that's one way. Now compare this other style of parenting. What the hell have you got these blocks all over the floor, you blockhead? Jeez, I'm going to step on one of these and break my ankle. Get out of my sight. You disgust me.
Now, if you compare those two parenting styles, which one do you think is creating a healthier child? That's right. Maybe you could have just asked me and not do that study. I'm pretty sure that your oxytocin of your baby is better if you're nice to them and you show interest. Yeah, do that.

Chapter 3: How does optimism affect health?
So basically one of them would be the size of a bus. And you could put more than one of them next to each other. So you could have one location, but you could have a couple of buses parked next to each other. And it'd be one megawatt. So you're basically powering a small city. And they can just, it looks like the entire process would be easy to just drag one in there and hook it up and turn it on.
Do you realize what a big deal that would be if this works? If they can really make mass-produced... See, mass-produced is the key to it all. Because mass-produced, this tells you it's economical, it's easy, there'll be lots of them. If they can really... So it looks like they've designed it from the ground up with the purpose of being super safe, super cheap, and easy to produce and get approved.
What if this works? And I'll bet it's not the only company. I mean, Rolls Royces in this space, there'll be others. This is gigantic. It's one of the biggest things in civilization. Meanwhile, Honda has created some kind of solid-state battery that's going to be 50% smaller, according to New Atlas. So it's not important that Honda has a battery that's way, way better.
It's just part of this bigger story. that battery technology, this is the reason I give you a battery story almost every day. If you didn't understand that the entire world of battery and electrical storage is so dynamic right now, it almost guarantees gigantic breakthroughs because it's just lots of good science, lots of prototypes, lots of money, and everybody knows that's where it has to go.
I mean, you're going to have to get to the point for sure. that we can do electric and store it, and store it economically. So everything's heading in the right direction. There are free markets doing it. Elon Musk is saying the F-35, our most expensive fighter jet, is maybe not as smart as having just lots of drones. I think that's right.
It does seem to me that a drone air force is both inevitable and would be superior to fighter jets, just because you could cover the sky with drones and probably stop any fighter jet, I would imagine. If you had a whole drone-like swarm, I imagine you could take out a very expensive jet without too much trouble. I suppose there's a high tissue, maybe. That might be part of it.
But he's probably right that we need to save some money and turn ourselves into a drone force. Speaking of Elon Musk, Starlink's new system now can connect to your mobile phone with no extra equipment or special app. So I don't know exactly what that means, but I think
You can take your regular existing phone and instead of saying I'm using one of the regular phone companies, can you now just select Starlink as your provider or extra provider? Is it in addition to or is that instead of? So I don't know the details of this yet.
But imagine having a phone made by Elon Musk that actually had real security so the government couldn't get into it, if that's even possible. Probably not possible. But wow, that's a pretty big deal. All right, I'm going to make an announcement, public announcement. Are you ready? Public announcement. Number one, do not ever follow my stock advice.

Chapter 4: What are the implications of battery technology advancements?
And the fact that AI still hallucinates, and I don't think that's been solved, how are you going to replace your SAS with something that hallucinates? Because you'll get answers, but you won't know if they're real.
So between hallucinating and the fact that AI doesn't seem to remember you and there doesn't seem to be a technology where I can have my most personal stuff I wanted to remember to be local and away from the AI company so that they can't get my good stuff. Because my perfect situation is I've got an AI and it sits on top of data that only I own and my AI only goes into it when it needs to.
but otherwise it doesn't know anything. It only knows that it has access to the database. That's not there. So here's the Warren Buffett reason for selling a stock. If you have a reason for buying a stock, you buy it. And if that reason doesn't change, you hold it. For me, the reason changed because I like monopolies. So NVIDIA is basically a monopoly right now, but I don't see the moat.
I don't see how they can stay one. So that's why I changed my investment. But remember, I'm terrible at investing. If you follow my lead, you'll probably lose money. NVIDIA is already up today. So if you had followed my advice yesterday, you would already have lost money. So say that as clearly as possible. All right.
Alex Jones is saying the Sandy Hook was a Bloomberg op, not the crime itself, but rather the fact that Alex Jones was sued and basically taken down by that lawfare. And he thinks that that was all funded by Bloomberg and that he was behind the whole thing. It looked like it was organic, but it wasn't. It was just to get to Trump.
So given that Alex Jones was a strong voice for Trump, it was one way that they could take him out. Now, do you think that's true? This is Alex Jones saying that this is new information that came out. So I guess the court cases revealed who got funded for what. Because here's what I've been wondering about Sandy Hook. I understand that
the parents would be disraught because somebody in the media said something about their situation. I get that. But why does that let you sue somebody? Where did that come from? Like, that doesn't sound organic. Take today, for example. Today, I'm going to talk a little later about fentanyl and some changes.
And when I talk about fentanyl, do you know that almost every time I mention it on X, somebody will come into my feed and tell me that it's my own damn fault that my stepson died from a drug overdose? And that he deserved to die. It was weeding out the ones we don't need. And it goes like that. Now, how does that make me feel? Well, I'm a little tougher than the average public figure.
So I just usually block them and say people are terrible. It doesn't bother me a lot. It bothers me a little bit, but not a lot. Now, do I get to sue them? Do I get to sue the people on X who say, oh, things that I think are not true? I don't think I should. It just feels like their opinion. So to me, it seems like Alex Jones had an opinion which he thought was true.

Chapter 5: What does Scott Adams say about political loyalty in cabinet selections?
Chapter 6: What is the impact of Alex Jones on political narratives?
Chapter 7: How does the podcast address the future of AI?
He did not. He did not. And it's one of my biggest disappointments. Now, later, my take on it was there wasn't anything you could do. Because unless you're going to attack China, they just will just keep doing what they're doing, sending their precursors to Mexico. And unless you militarily attacked Mexico, the cartels will just keep doing what they're doing and they're all making money.
So if they're all making money and the only thing you could do is threaten to attack them, then you've done nothing. Turns out Trump doesn't like to lose and he definitely lost on fentanyl and they definitely made him look like a chump. Let me say that directly. China made Trump look like a chump by promising to do it and doing nothing to stop fentanyl. In Mexico,
has a little explaining to do too. I mean, the cartels are the primary pushers of it. So apparently he's decided that that's not going to go down this way this time. So here are the things he's announced so far. Trump is going to put a big tariff on both Canada and Mexico because they're not doing enough to control their borders, partly because of fentanyl.
So he's just basically going to take trade out of it. Now, hold on, hold on. I'm waiting for the NPCs to rush into the comments and say, Scott, Scott, don't you understand how tariffs work? Don't you understand that tariffs are paid by the American company that wanted to buy it? Why do you not understand how tariffs work?
You can't threaten Canada because it's really just coming out of the pockets of the American companies. Okay, you're totally wrong. If you did one tariff that affected one American company, yeah, it would just be coming out of the American company's pocket. If you do a broad tariff about all their goods, you're going to start finding that the market starts to adjust to that.
So what you're playing for is the market adjustment. So suddenly, somebody in America who didn't think they could compete might say, wait a minute. If I make you here, it's going to be 20% cheaper than Canada. Oh, wow. It's a new market. So the long game is that Trump is telling you, you know, your car market, we're going to put you out of business. The whole, the whole industry.
We're just going to take it out. If you don't cooperate. Same with Canada. You like selling your, I don't know what they sell milk and butter or whatever. Do you like that arrangement where we buy your farm goods? Okay, in nine months, we're not going to buy any of your farm goods because they'll be priced out of consideration. So is it true that Canada is not the one paying for the tariffs? Yes.
The American company that wanted to import it, or the customer basically, pays for it. But the reason you do the tariff is so people will stop buying it and they'll look for another source. So in the short run, is it just a tax on consumers? And is it just a cause of inflation? Yes. We all understand that. Are we on the same page now?
Are the NPCs happy that everybody understands that in the short run, the American company pays for it. So you're not, you're not charging China or Canada or Mexico. However, If you commit to that being your long-term situation, you take the entire market away from those countries, and they're not going to put up with that because they need to sell cars and they need to sell shit.

Chapter 8: What are the consequences of Kamala Harris's campaign decisions?
Ship more food in from China? Nobody's shipping any food anywhere, so you're just going to die. Or let's say the Mongols come in and they want to burn your city and destroy it. Well, we're watching that Gaza is being completely destroyed, but it's still going to be there in 20 years probably because when the war winds down, it's probably a place that they're going to rebuild.
And probably most of the same people will be there. So I don't know if the situation exists where entire cities or civilizations can disappear. I think they'll morph, but they're more likely to find a solution to whatever their biggest problem is than any time in history. The seat of Satan down below. Didn't see that. All right, so as far as I can tell, everything's going our way.
It's hard to see the exceptions to that. And that's all I got for you today. Everything's going your way. I think the economy is going to do better. I think the government debt is going to get under control. I think robots are coming. It's all looking good. All right, I'm going to go talk to the locals people privately for a little minute. They get some special time.
And thanks for joining on YouTube and Rumble NX. Here I come, locals.
