What is Coffee with Scott Adams?
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 levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker gels, a stein, a kenteen, a 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 that dopamine here today makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. Today with extra oxytocin. Go. Oh, that's good. By the way, for those of you who have not figured it out, this isn't really the show that you watch to get the most accurate news reports. Although we try our best.
This is the live stream you watch because you like having a secret friend. So I'm like your friend who you don't have much to say, but your friend is very talkative. So you just sort of let them run on while you're getting about your business. So that's what I am. I'm your invisible secret friend. Yeah, just for you. Now let's talk about some things. Would you be surprised that there's some new science about coffee that's good for you? Yes, in Parade magazine. In case you wondered, it does hydrate you. So some people say, don't drink coffee because you'll pee too much and you'll be dehydrated. No, the science says that for regular amounts of coffee, if you don't have too much, that it adds more to your hydration than it subtracts.
How does coffee affect hydration?
So it's good for you. Did you know how many people around the US and even around the world do not drink coffee? Let me see. It's a well-known wonder drug that's good for you in almost every possible way that a thing could be good for you. What percentage of the world would not do the thing that's universally good for everybody? What percent would not? Yeah, that's right. That's right, 27% is the exact number. A quarter of the country will get every question wrong. It doesn't matter what the question is. And this is the case. 73% of Americans drink coffee every day. So 27%, you've got some explaining to do. And you'd be amazed to know there's a breakthrough in EV batteries. Another one, yes. In this case, Wonderful Engineering is reporting...
What are the latest breakthroughs in EV batteries?
They've got a battery now that's, I think it's a regular lithium, but they souped it up so they got 5 million miles on one battery and 20,000 charges. And it's so robust that it might, if they can get to the point where it lasts longer than the car, then you can throw the rest of the car away, take the battery out, and it might be, let's say, 80% still useful. and just use it as a battery backup for your house. So think about that. There might be a market coming for repurposing batteries that came out of your car. You just use them at your house. Maybe. What I think they really need to do is develop a battery made entirely from coffee. Because if you've been paying attention, coffee can do it all.
So I'm pretty sure you could make a battery out of coffee that would be better. Elon Musk said yesterday on X, he predicted that 98% of vehicles will be electric eventually. What do you think? Do you think 98% of vehicles would become electric? And that there will still be gas-powered cars, but it would be kind of like using a flip phone. Somebody's going to do it, but it'll be rare. I think so. You know, if you had not listened to my live stream every day, and I don't know why you wouldn't, you wouldn't know that there's a breakthrough in battery technology just about every day. And if we keep having breakthroughs in batteries, it kind of guarantees that all of your cars are going to be electric because the economics are all just moving in one direction.
It's not like gas is getting that much cheaper. But electricity might if we build enough nuclear power plants and do that kind of stuff. But I'd like to use this as an example of a investment approach. So I don't know if I've heard anybody talk about this investment approach. Now, I don't give investment advice, specific investment advice, so I'll just put this out as a hypothesis, but it's one I've used, and it seems to work. It goes like this. If you're trying to pick winning companies, you're probably going to lose, like 95% of the time, you might get lucky. You might get lucky 5% of the time, but you're going to lose about 95% of that.
