Why is it important to have company on Christmas?
Aren't you glad I'm here? Well, I knew a lot of you would be alone today. And you would need a little extra company. And you'd like to have coffee on Christmas morning with your favorite distant friend. Distant by, you know, only distance. All right, let me call up your comments here. Oh, there we are. Where are we? Nope, that's not it. That's not it. That's it. All right, we're ready. You're doing wine in the morning? Well, that's quite a Christmas. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of Human Civilization Christmas Edition. Well, if you'd like to take this experience up to levels that even Santa Claus couldn't understand, all you need for that is a cuppa, a mug, or a glass of tankard shells, a stein, a canteen, a jug, or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure.
dopamine hit of the day thing makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip go oh it's a christmas miracle how good that tastes and i get to do it with all of you my favorite part of the day by the way i don't know if i've ever told you this is literally my favorite part of the day maybe it's because i like doing the talking and having you do the listening
What movie caused controversy for Scott Adams?
Maybe it's not a good sign that this is my favorite part of the day. But it is. So I caused more trouble than I ever imagined yesterday by recommending a movie. Who in the world thought that that would cause hate? I got more hate by recommending a movie I like than just about anything that's happened to me this year since I got canceled. And here's the problem. A number of people said... that I must be doing it for pay. So I finally said I liked the movie. I liked the movie Red One. It's a Christmas movie. And I got accused. I can't tell you how many people accused me of doing it for money and being a sellout. And I thought, really? When did it become unusual to say you like a movie on social media? And somebody said, you know, why would I be delving into this trivial stuff?
Why would you be talking about trivial things? To which I thought, is it your first day on social media? Social media is like 90% trivia, 10% substance. So I can't have a little bit of Christmas trivia? Anyway, so out of curiosity, since movies, of course, are highly subjective, there's no such thing as a good movie or a bad movie. If I could teach you one thing, it's this. There's no such thing as good art or bad art. There's no such thing as a good comic or a bad one. There's no such thing as a good movie or a bad one. There is such thing as did people go and like it or not. If people like it, it's good. So if you're looking at the comments and you see that 80% of the people commenting say, yeah, that was a good movie. Good recommendation. I enjoyed it.
A comment that doesn't make sense is that was a bad movie. It's not a bad movie if 80% of people liked it. If 80% like it, that's a good movie by definition. Your own opinion of the movie is just your own opinion. It's not some kind of universal standard. So out of curiosity, I followed up today just to cause more trouble. which other people are saying I'm trying to just get engagement money. But no, I'm actually curious. When I ask a question, it's usually because I actually think it would be an interesting question. So my question was, if you think Red One is not a great movie, like I do, I think it's a great movie, what would be your favorite movie recently? So I asked the people who said they didn't like Red One, what movies do you like recently?
And most of my answers were movies that were 30 to 50 years old. 30 to 50 years old. That's what people answered with their favorite recent movie was 30 to 50 years old. But there are some people who mentioned a little bit more recent movies. For example, Schindler's List and The Shawshank Redemption were high on people's list of all-time best movies. Do you know what I think of those two movies? It's two movies that make you feel like you're in prison and or a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. And it makes you feel that the entire length of the movie. And that's your favorite movie? Who wants to feel like they're in the most horrible prison situation for three hours in a row? Mmm, popcorn. Oh, look what they're doing to him now. I'll bet that hurt. So I'm not judging. I'm not judging.
