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 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, a mug, or a glass, a tank, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens. That's right. Right now. Go. Oh, delicious. All right. The Dilbert comic will be published as soon as I'm done with the show today. Had a little hiccup and it was a file problem, but it's fixed. And you will be delighted at the current topic in Dilbert. That's all I can tell you. You'll just be delighted. Well, let's talk about the news. The jet crash with the helicopter in D.C. ?
What happened in the recent helicopter crash in D.C.?
is creating a massive fog of war as in what the heck is going on and can we trust the news and who's lying and what's what? So we'll give you a few of the things we know. There's some new video angles which would show to a non-pilot such as myself, it would look like it was an easily avoidable problem because when you see the video, it looks like the helicopter is heading straight for the airplane had to be aware of it. You know, seems like the visibility was good and was also flying hundreds of feet higher than allowed with an instructor on board. How do you fly in illegal space in a crowded area, in illegal space? It wasn't legal to be where it was. How do you do that with an instructor on board in the context of instructions? So we got questions.
It may be that we have lots of things wrong. Now, countering the narrative that it was easy to see, which kind of suggests that there was some intentionality there, that's not proven. But I saw another expert saying that if you think it's easy to spot airplanes coming toward you, it's harder than you think. And it depends on whether you're seeing the landing lights are fitting in with the city lights, the direction they're going, whether or not there's any lateral movement. So apparently, there are situations in which if you're looking at it from a distance, as we are, you'd say to yourself, how could you not see that? You're heading right for it for, I don't know, five seconds in a row. Five seconds is a pretty long time to not react, right? But if you were in the pilot seat, and especially if you were testing out some night vision goggles, the night vision goggles will interfere with your peripheral vision a little bit. And there's just a ton of things going on at that particular airport. And it was a training flight.
So if you don't have the most trained person for a night flight in that area, And there's a lot going on, and it might be just a coincidence of how the lights from the vehicles, not the vehicles, the aircraft lined up. It's possible it was nothing but a mistake. But even Trump is having trouble believing that you could be flying hundreds of feet above the altitude that's legal and allowed when you're an extreme rule-following entity. I would think that a military aircraft in the civilian space would be not just a rule follower, but an extreme rule follower. Am I wrong? I can't imagine anybody being more extreme about following every rule. And the altitude rule isn't like every rule. That's really, really important. The where are you? You can't get the where are you wrong. That's the most important thing. Where are you in relationship to the other planes? So there's certainly some question about the intention of the pilot. There's questions about how could you possibly be doing something so out of the norm in terms of the altitude.
And then there's talk about Trump, of course, mentioned DEI. And he also mentioned that the helicopter was not where it belonged. It was too high. And he said, not too complicated to understand, is it? Well, he's right about one thing.
