What highlights are covered in this episode?

That's a way to rumble. All right, let me get my comments up here, and then we got a show to do. Comments coming. Perfecto. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. But if you'd like to take this experience, which is already wildly amazing, 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 chalice or sign, 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 of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Well, I can't begin to tell you how distracting the memes were when I was doing that. You can keep doing distracting memes when I do the sip, but some of them were extra distracting today. What's happening with Hawk Newsome?
Scott Adams 1:25
He's leading the murderer chance against Perry. Of course he is a piece of shit. Of course he is. Hawk Newsome. I once thought he had potential to be a positive force in the world, but apparently not. Well, let's start with the golden age. You want to hear the good news? You probably already heard this, but drinking coffee is good for your liver, according to No Ridge.

How does coffee affect your liver?

Scott Adams 1:51
I don't know if these are different stories or the same story dressed up, but I feel like that's the third time I've told you that coffee is good for your liver. which is why I soak my liver in coffee overnight. Also, caffeine seems to block some kind of dopamine effect when you drink alcohol, meaning that if you were to drink a cup of coffee and then have some alcohol, the alcohol would be less fun. Isn't that weird? Back when I used to drink on weekends... I was sort of a party drinker. I would notice that sometimes I would drink and I didn't feel anything much. And other times I'd have one sip and I'd be like, wow. And I always wondered what was behind that. It wasn't always because I hadn't eaten. It wasn't food. And I always drank exactly the same thing. It was never different. So I wonder... Now I wonder if it's how recently I'd had coffee. Coffee, as you say it.

Maybe if I'd had an afternoon coffee and then I had an early evening drink, then maybe one canceled out the other. Or dehydration. Somebody says dehydration. Maybe. Well, anyway, coffee seems to decrease the dopamine hit you get from alcohol. In another study where they just could have asked me probably, they found that high blood sugar in healthy adults is linked to lower brain activity. In other words, sugar makes you dumb, even if you don't have diabetes. So if your sugar is high, just higher than it should be, but not diabetes, it's going to take a few points off your IQ. Now, did all of you know that? Because I feel like I've known that for a long time. That sugar, even if you're not diabetic, extra sugar makes you extra zombie. Didn't you all know that?
Scott Adams 3:58
I kind of thought that was common knowledge. But there's a study. If you believe studies. Well, there's an FTC commissioner, according to Reclaim the Net, FTC Commissioner Andrew Ferguson. he's warned against what he calls pro-censorship advertising cartels. In other words, when the advertising groups and entities of the world, when they coordinate to, let's say, put X out of business because they don't like the politics or the messaging, that he's thinking maybe that should be illegal. What part of illegal would that be? I guess it would be for being a cartel and suppressing competition and free speech. So I don't know exactly what count he would get them on, but yes, this is exactly what we need. We need our FTC to say that you can't push somebody out of business with their advertising model, just because you don't like their editorial thing.

Now, I always thought it would be a big advantage to the advertising companies if all the advertising was blind, meaning that nobody could, nobody could select what advertising is associated with their content. Wouldn't they be better? Because once you got used to it and you knew, oh, here's that terrible advertisement, but it's associated with this content I want to see.
