What is the highlight of today's episode?
difficulty today, so I'm just streaming on my phone until the battery runs out. I've got my laptop open, so I'm doing a higher quality feed at the same time on Locals. If you go to scottadams.locals.com, you could watch it there if you like that concept.
All right, what time is it?
668.
Good. All right. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you've never had a better time. But if you want to take this 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 of tank or chalice, a steiner, 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, dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And, yes, it's going to happen right now. Right now. If you were expecting to be watching this on YouTube or Rumble, that won't be happening this morning, but we'll probably post the finished show after it's live. Might take a little while.
Well, story number one, there's a study out of the University of Zurich that shows that hypnosis does alter brain activity and neurochemistry. Do you know who they could have asked? Huh, I wonder if hypnosis will alter brain activity and neurochemistry. Do you know who could have answered that question? Every hypnotist for the last hundred years. Every one of them. It's the most basic thing you learn. If hypnosis didn't have any effect on your actual brain, it wouldn't be doing anything. There are a lot of people who think that hypnosis is just... What is it that Penn Jillette says? I think he said some while ago the hypnosis was two people lying to each other. The hypnotist pretending to be a hypnotist and the subject pretending to be hypnotized.
How does hypnosis affect brain activity?
But no, there is a change in the brain. And that's the longest known thing that every hypnotist has known. It's just obvious. Anyway, there's another tragic terrorist attack, it looks like. Over in Germany, an Afghan man drove a car into a big crowd. He's injured, I think, at least 28 people, some of them really badly. We don't know anything about the motives yet, but yeah. I'll tell you, the car-related attacks, they seem to kill as many or more people than bombs. So maybe this is the beginning of a very long, terrible trend. I don't know. Let's talk about hostage releases because that's a better story. So I was listening to the U.S. envoy for hostages, and his name is not written down on my notes. So just imagine I said the name of the person.
Today's just a disaster. I feel like everything today is just not going to work. So that might be funny. That might be entertaining in its own way. Yeah, the most important thing I was going to write down was the name of the person. Who is the United States envoy for hostages? Yeah, that guy. OK. So he was saying that one of the reasons that Trump is successful getting hostages back is that he's saying that quote, when you hold our citizens, we'll come after you at any cost. That's sort of the Trump message. If you hold our citizens, we'll come after you at any cost. Now that is exactly the right, now it's not Wyckoff, it's not Wyckoff or Grinnell. All right, nevermind. Stop guessing the White Claw for Grinnell.
That will still be wrong no matter how many times you write it down. All right. I shouldn't have even brought it up. But the right framing is that hostages are not really a negotiating tool, at least with the United States, because we're going to take everything you have if you take our hostages. We'll take everything you have. And What happened when Trump put the extra threat on? Well, now Hamas is getting a little flexible. It says they're going to release some more hostages by Saturday, maybe, which was Trump's deadline. Now, that's not all the hostages. Trump has said if you don't release them all, there's going to be hell to pay. So if there's something they're holding back, in theory, there's still hell to pay. Now, what would be hell to pay?
