What is the purpose of the simultaneous sip?

Scott Adams 0:00
A cup or mug or a glass, a tank or Chelsea Stein, a canteen, jug or 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. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Well, let me ask you this. If you feel like after that sip, You have a little bit less head and neck cancer. It's not your imagination. Because according to The Guardian, there's some research that says that people who have four coffees a day have 17% lower chance of head and neck cancer. Thank you very much. Feeling pretty good in the neck and head area. The rest of me is a mess, but my neck and head, perfect.

All right, did you know, according to Neoscope, that teenagers today are way down on drug use? Did you know that? It's like way down. So research, the trend is unprecedented, they say. And the experts are puzzled because they can't figure out why teens are abstaining from drugs more than ever before. So I don't know the answer to that question, but I can give you one possibility. One possibility is that the mix of students has changed quite a bit. If I look at my local schools, there's quite a big increase in immigrants, basically. So I wonder if the people coming from other countries have the same rate of drug use as the ones that are already here. Specifically, well, yeah, just in general, I wonder if they have the same drug use. Probably not.

So some of it might be immigration. But some of it might be that when marijuana became legal, old people like me started doing it. And it became super uncool to do what your grandfather was doing. Could be that. Could be that. It could be that they're getting their dopamine from another source. Maybe they're just getting it from their phones instead, and it's sort of a dopamine replacement. But I will tell you that locally, I was impressed at how low the drug use and drinking is in the teenage years, at least what I can determine through people who know people who know people. It does seem lower. It matches observation. So New York Post had some new photos from a never-before-seen, a never-contacted tribe in the Amazon.

So there are a few hundred people in this tribe that have never had contact with anybody outside their tribe, at least in our lifetime. And I guess there are a bunch of them. So there are a bunch of these little tribes that have never had contact. Now, the reason they don't have contact is that the government of Brazil, for example, knows that if they do get contacted, they may not have resistance to all the diseases that we're used to. So it might just kill them. Just contact with us would give them all kinds of diseases. But so somebody put some kind of like a trail cam or something. So they weren't there in person to take the pictures, but they got the picture remotely. And how wild is it that there's a tribe that doesn't know there are things like computers and phones and airplanes? Just think about that. So you're this tribe in Africa, not Africa, in Brazil. You've never seen any civilization outside of your little tribe. They're all just running around naked with sticks and bows and arrows. And you see an airplane fly over. What are you going to think that is?
Scott Adams 4:12
But here's the thing that blows my mind. It logically... you would think it's impossible that they couldn't have contact. Like how in the world does the rest, how does the world keep them from contact with civilization? Like civilizations everywhere, except where they are, I guess. And it makes me wonder, you know, the, the theories that the drones are really UFOs and it might be from another planet, or maybe it's early humans who have an advanced civilization, but they, hide in the core of the earth or under the water or something and I usually reject that because I think what are the odds I mean seriously what are the odds that I grew up in a world and and I'm sort of a primitive and and there's this advanced civilization and it's sort of all around me but they're so good at hiding that I don't even know they exist
