What is the main topic of this episode?
civilization it's called coffee with scott adams and you've never had a better time 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 or chalice or stein a canteen jug or flask a vessel of any kind fill it with your favorite liquid i like coffee and 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 right now. You are now fortified. All right. If you are subscribing to the Dilbert comic, which never stopped, some of you think it did, but it didn't. Dilbert is being recruited to work on Doge. So it's just going to be a one-week series. He won't be there long because he always has to return to his other life.
But Dilbert is selected to work for Doge. I don't know if you knew this, but in the Dilbert comic universe, although Dilbert is a put-upon cubicle employee, I always try to frame him as the best engineer in the world. So of course he'd be asked. Of course he would. All right. Let's look and see if there's any science that they could have skipped and maybe save some money. Let's see. Eric Dolan's writing for SciPost. The stronger men have more sex partners. Stronger men have more sex partners. I wonder how much they spent to find out that women like stronger men. Because I didn't see it coming. No, I did see it coming. Next time, just ask me. Scott, we're thinking about doing a study to see if tall men have more sex. Don't need to. They do. Well, okay.
Well, what if we study to find out if tall, rich men have more sex? Don't need to. Don't need to. They do. Okay. But we're still curious about tall, rich men who have all of their hair. Yes, more sex every time. But what about tall, rich men who go to the gym and really have a good physique? Again, save your money. This is why you come to me first. Big money saver. I'm like pre-Doge. You don't even need Doge if you just come to me first. That's all you need to do. I'm just full of answers. There's another study in American Psychological Association. I guess that's a publication. They found out that satire is more damaging than boring criticism. Hmm. Who could they have asked to save some money on that study? Oh, that's right.
Why don't you ask the cartoonist who writes satire all the time, like I'm doing right now, mocking their stupid-ass study. Notice how my satire about their stupid-ass study is way more damning than a boring criticism. Well, I'm not sure that was a high priority study. No, see, boring. As soon as I lay the satire on, zing, zing, right to the heart. Just ask me next time. Satire, it's good stuff. Well, CNN. is showing their numbers data guy, Harry Enten. He shows that 70% of Americans say Trump is doing exactly what he said he would do if he got elected, especially the Doge stuff. He was pretty clear about that. But in addition, Trump set new highs. His popularity is at a new all-time high, including his entire first term. And what could possibly be the reason behind his popularity?
Could it be that he picks the, I'm going to use the Scott Jennings frame because this is a good one, that Trump picks the things that 80% of the country likes. And of course, 20 to 25% of the country is wrong about everything. So it wouldn't matter what it was. It's like, should we save the orphans? Because the orphanage is on fire and there's still plenty of time to get the orphans out. Should we save them? Well, yeah. 80% of the country would say, save those orphans. What are you talking about? Of course you would. But 20% would say, what kind of orphans are we talking about? Are they Republicans? I don't know. Not so fast. Maybe they deserve it. Now, I'm just making that up. But the point is, 20% of the public is wrong about everything.
So if you have a topic that 80% of the public is on the same side, that's basically everyone. Because the other 20% are not thinkers or serious or understanding of their environment in any important way. So you can ignore the last 20% as not even real, no matter what the question is. 20%, no, you're not even in the right conversation, people.
