What is the highlight of today's episode?
Here we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time. 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 chalice, a stein, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous synapses. Wait, what is that? What am I seeing? Oh, no. Damn it. A UAP landed in my coffee. No, really. Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean it didn't happen. No, seriously. There's a UAP in here. Advanced civilization.
It's doing things that are defying physics. I swear, just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not happening. Oh, I can show it to you, but there are reasons. Totally. All right. Let's get serious. Now here's some science updates. You're not going to believe it. This is unbelievable. Did you know that physically fit people tend to be more creative? That's right. Turns out that, I don't know if I've ever told you this before, but have you ever heard that Your body and your brain are the same thing. Yes, your body is your brain. If you do your exercise and do your physical fitness, yes, you'll be more creative. Yes, you'll have less dementia. Yes, you'll have a higher IQ. Stop doing studies. We all know it's true now.
Well, there's another study from Norwegian University of Science and Technology. They say that people who have a positive attitude, you know, a mindset that things will work out, are built differently. And that a positive attitude, what the researchers call the growth mindset, or belief in growth, it's associated with both higher willpower and passion. Huh. So let's see if I understand the science. So if you have a growth mindset... That's associated with being an optimist. Here's another way to interpret that. A growth mindset is an optimist. It's not associated with it. It's what it is. There's no difference between optimism and a growth mindset. Is there? The only reason you would have a growth mindset is you thought it would work.
Do any of you have plans that you know won't work? No. You make plans based on what you think will work. So optimism is a growth mindset because your optimism isn't going to be about other people. It's going to be about yourself. Of course you're optimistic if you have a growth mindset. One doesn't cause the other. They're just the same freaking thing. All right, science. Science. I spit on science. No, I love science. I'm kidding. Now, you won't believe this. There's another study, according to SciPost, that physical activity boosts IQ in kids and teens. We know. We know. Physical activity. Your brain, your body. It's all the same thing. Take care of your body. Your brain will be better. Yes. Here's another one from SciPost.
Religious service attendance linked to lower dementia risk in black older adults. Oh, my. Why? Why must I be the one who speaks out against science? Science. Do you think that this is a causation? Do you think if you say, hey, people, if you go to church more, you're going to get less dementia? No. How about people who are high functioning do all the high functioning things that people with high function do? And in the United States, that includes going to church because you can wake up in the morning, you're disciplined enough, your life is together enough that you can make it to church. No, it's just association. It's not causation. Sorry, backward science. Meanwhile, according to Tom Perkins in The Guardian, China just invented something that will suck up almost 100% of microplastics and it's cheap and scalable. So they've got some kind of sponge made of cotton and squid bone. You know how I always say the scientists, they could have come to me. They didn't need to spend the money. Well, here's an exception.
