What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?

Scott Adams 0:09
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and 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 another level, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker shells, a sign, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.

What are the highlights from the Grammys?

Scott Adams 0:30
I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's happening now. So satisfying. Well, did anybody watch the Grammys last night? If you did, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Did anybody have the experience I had? I tried to watch a little bit of it, and I was just so grossed out. So first of all, the aesthetic, just sort of the look of the whole thing, it seemed to be like a drag queen on LSD. Now again, if you like your drag queens, I don't care what anybody does as an adult, but as a design aesthetic... I don't know. It just looked like it was a little too much of whatever is too much. But here's the overwhelming thing I thought.

How does the Diddy controversy affect perceptions of the Grammys?

Scott Adams 1:39
Could you get it out of your mind, all the Diddy stuff? So, in the wake of the Diddy stuff, you know, they got lots of attention on Jay-Z and Beyonce, because Beyonce won, I guess, the album of the year or something. And They brought their 13-year-old daughter. Now, you know that Jay-Z is being accused of something with a 13-year-old, not his daughter, right? Just to be clear, there's no accusations about anything with the daughter. But he's being accused of some bad behavior with a daughter. Now, I don't know if it's true. He's innocent until proven guilty, unless it might be a civil thing. I think it might be a civil thing, not a criminal thing. But I'm not sure. Actually, I'd need a fact check on that. Is it criminal or civil?
Scott Adams 2:32
But all I could think about was that. And every person they showed on screen, I thought to myself... Did you have to, you know, go to a ditty party to get where you're at? Because I wonder. So the whole thing to me looked like a bunch of sex offenders and their victims. And they were dressing in drag and looking like they were all on LSD. And I thought to myself, it's not just because I'm old, right? Now, I get that at some age you don't connect with the modern music. But I've never really had that problem. You know, if the music is good, I tend to like it, no matter what genre it is or anything else. But there was just something deeply, disturbingly broken about the vibe of the whole thing.
Scott Adams 3:25
And I think it's because the Diddy thing just is like a wet blanket on the whole situation. But then Ye shows up with his wife, or not wife, wife? Yeah, wife, Bianca Sensore. And as he likes to do, she drops her fur jacket for the cameras and is wearing only a transparent cover-up that doesn't cover anything. She's literally just naked with something that's like a dress but not, you know, because it's transparent. And they make sure everybody gets a good look and everything. And I'm trying to think, well, what's behind that? It's not mental illness. And Ye may have some issues with mental illness. But I don't think that's what's behind that. It looks strategic. It looks like he knows how to get attention. But it looks to me like revenge on his ex-wife. Now, I'm just reading minds here. I have no idea what anybody's thinking. But when I watch him go that far over the top... It's almost like he's sending a message to Kim Kardashian that maybe you should calm down your, let's say, sexual presentation of your brand while you've got kids.
Scott Adams 4:50
Because I believe he complained about that, right? didn't didn't say yeah he tried to get kim to tone it down because it seemed inappropriate in front of kids so instead of going with that approach of hey maybe you should tone it down in front of the kids he goes with all right if you're not going to tone it down let's see how far we can take it so it's almost like he's challenging kim to say that he went too far
