What are the key highlights of this episode?
Let's see if this works better. The first try didn't work. That would mean everybody would be looking for the first try and not finding the real one. There we are. All right, we're good to go. I think some non-locals people will get lost. It might take them a while to find this. But I think everybody will figure it out eventually. There you go, the YouTube people are figuring it out. So sorry, I had a little technical difficulty there. I had to quit and back in, so it means serve two. If my engineer is listening, please delete the first try. All right. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of Human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and it took me a couple of tries to make the technology work.
I think it was human error in this case, my human error. So you'll see there's a wrong one and a right one. If you're listening to this, you're in the right one. Good for you. Good for you. But if you'd like to take this experience... Up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker Chelsea Stein, a canteen jug of 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 dope beans of the day, the thing that makes everything better. Except my lighting, which is terrible. I sure wish I knew what was causing that. It's kind of a new thing. Anyway, it's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Feels like nothing's working just right this morning. Everything's like off by one. Do you ever have those days when everything's just a little bit off? No major problems. I mean, it's not like a big deal. But everything's a little bit off today. I don't know. Keep an eye on that. Why in the world am I fuzzy?
What is the significance of urban trees on education?
Why suddenly is the video just like... I look like one of those aging TV stars. Have you ever noticed that as a beautiful celebrity will age, they have to fuzz the video more and more until they're just like a blotch. You can't even make out the nose. I think that's what's happening with me. Maybe it's an angle. Now, let me try to see if I can clean the camera. Is there a camera problem? Oh, maybe that helped a little. I think that helped. Good, we're ready to go. Finally. Finally. All right, well, here's some science news. According to Brian Mathley at the University of Utah, a study shows that if you lose urban trees... it disproportionately affects some places. So apparently the educational attainment is better where they have more trees.
So where there are poor trees or the trees have died and not been replaced, they don't do as well in school. Hmm. Hmm. Is it the lack of trees that make people do worse in school in the city? Or could it be that the correlation is if everything doesn't work in that city, including education, you also can't keep a tree alive. What are the odds that you're running a first-class school system in a city where you can't keep a tree alive? A tree. Do you know how hard it is to kill a tree? you pretty much can throw an acorn in the ground and walk away. 40 years later, a gray tree? Well, you know, sooner than that. So yeah, I don't know if this science is getting the order right. I don't know if taking away the trees makes you do poorly in school, or it could be that if you live in a place that can't keep a tree alive, it's not going to do much better with you. Just asking. Well, it turns out that the Surgeon General wants alcohol to carry warning labels. Because it's the third leading cause of cancer. I didn't know that.
How is AI influencing children's toys?
After tobacco and obesity, alcohol is the third leading cause of cancer. So it turns out that alcohol is poison. Told you. You don't need science. Really, you don't. You just listen to me babbling about stuff. You know, it seems like my babbling is like 80%, like I have an 80% win record of just guessing. Anyway, we're also here, Zero Hedge is saying that parents need to be worried about foreign-made AI toys for kids used as propaganda. That's right. If you have AI built into a child's toy, You better be careful because that child is talking to the A.I. and you don't know what they're going to say. Apparently, there's a report, according to Zero Hedge, of an A.I. powered robot called Miko.
