What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. I'm pretty sure you've never had a better time in your whole life. 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, a tank of Chelsea Stein, 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 at the end of the day the thing that makes everything better it's called the simultaneous sip it happens now go oh that's so good so good well I only slept about two hours last night I just wasn't tired for some reason I guess I think I didn't work hard enough
You know, Christmas Day, I kind of relaxed a little bit, which is uncharacteristic. And if I relax, I do two hours of sleep, and I'm like, I think it's time to get up. But it wasn't. Well, here's the good news. If you believe science and you think the news is telling you what's true, according to Science Alert, some scientists have figured out it destroyed 99% of cancer cells using vibrating molecules and some near, some kind of light to heat it up. So there's some kind of a molecule that they already use because it attaches to cancer so that when you're imaging, it'll show up better on the imaging because it's some kind of chemical that only attaches to cancer and it leaves everything alone. So if you're looking for just that thing, It'll spot all your cancers.
But it turns out that if they put that very same thing, which they're already putting into people for imaging, and they shoot it with near-infrared light, which apparently can penetrate your body to some degree, and they can get all the way into your bone. And if they heat it up a little bit, and it's already attached to the cancer cell, it destroys the cancer cell. Now, it already worked in animals, so they don't have to wonder if it worked. And they don't have to wonder if that chemical is dangerous because it's a chemical that they already put in people for imaging. So that doesn't mean it's going to work in humans. But if you factor in that it works in animals and it should be exactly the same mechanism,
Because it's not like a drug where if you give somebody chemo or a chemo drug or something, a human would interact with a drug differently than an animal. So you can never know if your animal studies are going to translate. Usually they don't. But if what you're doing is a physical process, which is you're attaching something to cancer cells, that probably works in animals and people because they did it with animals and We attach it to cancer cells with people for imaging. So that part works. The only thing we really need to know is if they shoot this near-infrared light into a human, will it go deeply enough? And they seem to be thinking it would. And would it cause any problems that we're not aware of? But it apparently is very isolated to just the cancer cells. And here's the more exciting part. You're probably aware that cancer is one word that describes a whole bunch of things. So if you came up with a cure for one kind of cancer, probably it wouldn't work with any other kind of cancer.
But if this little chemical is used for imaging of any kind of cancer, and I'm guessing it is, then this process would cure any kind of cancer. Now, apparently it doesn't work 100% of the time, but it's really close. And it cured like half of the rats of cancer entirely. So, you know, I always tell you all these, maybe there's a cancer cure and there's a new chemical and there's a new pill and there's new whatever. But this is the first one where I look at it and I go, I would bet on this. I would actually place a bet that once they go through the human testing that this one works, if it worked on animals, which it did. So maybe good news. Meanwhile, Science Alert warns us that Tylenol may induce risky behavior. If you take Tylenol, it might turn you into a criminal or make you overeat or take drugs or punch your spouse. Now, I don't know if I believe this. Remember, studies of this nature might be wrong, I don't know, half the time. So have you ever noticed it?
