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.

What optimistic scientific breakthroughs are discussed?

Scott Adams 2:01
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.
