What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. But if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody's ever understood with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank of chalice or stine, a canteen jug or 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, and it happens now. Go. Oh, that's so good. Well, we got lots of stories, and they're almost all either funny or good news. It's almost Thanksgiving. You don't want any bad news, do you? You want funny stuff and good news.
All right, well, here's some good science news, popular mechanics. Once again, there's another technology breakthrough in a power-dense battery that will give you 186-mile charge in five minutes and change how we drive forever. So that's coming. It's a Taiwan-based EV company, Prologium. It's the world's first solid-state battery with silicon composite anodes. Well, I was waiting for that.
What are the latest breakthroughs in battery technology?
Now, the reason I tell you about all these battery technologies is not so you can follow one company that made a better battery, but rather you can see the frantic pace of development. The world of battery improvement is just crazy now. Here's another one from New Atlas. Another fast-charging lithium-sulfur battery. So that's cool. Until now, they've suffered from slow charging and discharging, but now they've figured out how to make it do all that faster. So there's probably, how many times have I read you a story about a new battery development? Maybe 15, 15 or 20? And I don't know if any one of those will take off and be the next big thing, but if any one of them works, just any one of them, it's going to be huge.
And not only that, but I keep telling you about turning CO2 into other products. I'm not so sure that we need to, So the separate question is, does climate change require us to figure out how to suck CO2 out of the air and turn it into useful products? I don't know. But it seems to me that every time we can suck something out of the air and sell it, we're going to do it. So I think whether or not climate change makes any difference in terms of carbon capture, if we can economically suck things out of the air, like carbon, and turn it into fuels, we're going to do it. So here's another one. The Oak Ridge National Laboratory. They've got some improved catalysts that turns greenhouse gases into cleaner fuels and feedstocks.
So you can clean it and turn it into all kinds of stuff. So that's coming. You don't need to know the details because they're not important. Just know that there are probably 20 places that they're turning CO2 into products. and probably at least 20 places they're turning batteries, making all new batteries that are better and faster and lighter and faster charging. They don't blow up and all that stuff. Big deals. Not only that, but according to The Sun, the robotic company called Figure, Figure Robotics, the founder is Brett Adcock. So the guy who's making humanoid-looking robots that have no genitalia, his name is Adcock. I'm not making that up. Look at his damn robots. They're robots with no genitalia and no pants. I'm not making that up.
His name is literally Adcock. Do you think at any time you ever looked at his robot and said, there's something missing? Something... I can't put my finger on it. What is wrong with these robots? They look humanoid, but I feel like I need to add something. Let me look at my license. Oh, I got it. I got it. We need to add a cock. But that's not why I bring it up, even though that would be perfectly sufficient reason. I bring it up because, remember I always complained about the slow robots? It's like it doesn't matter if you can train a robot to fold a shirt if it does it like Joe Biden.
If you give me three more hours, I will pick up a shirt.
400%.
So we're getting there. Well, there's a big study on marijuana and its relationship to obesity. What do you think they found? This will be a test to see if you're as good as I am at determining what the science should tell you. They studied obesity and marijuana use. Who do you think used more marijuana? The obese or the not obese? Go.
