What is the highlight of human civilization discussed in this episode?

Scott Adams 0:05
What a Saturday. Good morning everybody and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, golden era. If you'd like to take this experience up to levels that nobody's ever seen 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 or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee.

What is the significance of the simultaneous sip?

Scott Adams 0:30
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Thank you, Paul. Oh, my God. That felt so good. You know, one of the things I don't think I've ever mentioned, but I do this low-rent kind of podcast where I put, obviously I'm not putting all of my efforts into production values and hiring a team of writers and having a makeup artist and things that other people do. Not everybody, but some do. And one of the things that happens is that in a small way,

How does Scott Adams recreate Trump's audience participation?

Scott Adams 1:21
I end up recreating what Trump does, and in a very specific way, not the entire Trump thing, but just one narrow specific thing, which is It becomes sort of an audience participation. And one of the things, if you ever see me say thank you, Paul, at the beginning of the show, is because I always had trouble knowing if the sound was working. Because no matter how well the sound works, there's always somebody it's not working for because their own phone is in some mode or something. So I can never tell for sure if the trolls were real or not. But one of the subscribers on Locals, I won't say his full name just in case he doesn't want me to, but created a graphic that shows that I can very quickly see that the audio and the video are working. And I think he's looking at multiple platforms at the same time. Now, I didn't ask him to do that. It's just it really needed to be done. So he had the capability. So he just did it.

And it's the sort of thing that you see in the Trump administration where somebody has a good idea and they can find somebody who can find somebody who can find somebody who knows the president. And next thing you know, the president hears the idea. And if it's a good one, he says, that's a good idea. And the world changes. It's the damnedest thing. It's only a Trump thing. But I've sort of accidentally recreated it by having low production standards. But there are a number of other examples I won't get into in which people are just doing add-ons. They're saying, you know, this show would be a little bit better if you had this going for you. And then somebody will just do it. It's really quite amazing. So after the show today, Owen Gregorian...
Scott Adams 3:17
uh, is going to host a spaces after party. So spaces is the audio, audio only thing on, uh, X. So you have to be the next user and it'll be after the show. And, uh, People simply wanted a little extra, and they wanted it in a different form. So somebody made it. In this case, it was Owen.

What are the latest insights on electric vehicles?

Scott Adams 3:41
So I appreciate everybody who contributes, either sending me DMs or figuring out what's wrong with the show and fixing it. And it really is special. It makes it feel completely different to me. It always feels like a team effort, even if I'm sitting here alone. Anyway, you know I'm going to talk about EVs and batteries. Turns out, according to car scoop, Stephen Rivers, that at this point in time, an EV, an electric vehicle, will last as long as a regular combustion engine automobile. Now, that kind of snuck up on me, didn't it? Because you're thinking, why wouldn't you buy an electric car? And the first thing you say is, well, they don't last as long. Well, that's over. They last a little bit longer.
Scott Adams 4:33
So you don't have to worry about that anymore. Now, I still think it depends which one you get. And the battery isn't exactly the same at the end as it is at the beginning. So there's some of that. So if you have some skepticism about the battery, I'm open to that. But the point is, there are things like this that just sneak up on you. For example, if you didn't get an electric car because there weren't enough charging stations, well, that's probably not true now. So I remind you that I have some Tesla stock, so I'm not completely objective about the domain. But you're going to see EVs, they seem to have crossed all of the critical things, meaning that the public now says, there's nothing wrong with it.
