What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott?
comments all right we're ready Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. Never been a better time. But if you want 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 microglass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, a 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 of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. Well, I don't know what's going to happen today. My brain's not working at 100%. Yesterday was kind of a sick day. But today, I'm at least barely functional. So back at it.
If you're subscribed to the Dilbert comic, which you can do there on X, just go to my account on X and you'll see the button. You'd see that the pointy-haired boss hired a hypnotist to hypnotize their AI and to teach it persuasion. That hypnotist, you might notice, looks a lot like me. Coincidence. Total coincidence. So anyway, if you're following Dilbert, look for the hypnotist who looks like me. He causes trouble. According to the Babylon Bee, I think the Babylon Bee was pointing to a real poll, but it's hard to tell what's real these days. There was a poll that said 26% of Americans still trust the media. Babylon Bee calls that a disturbing poll, that you still trust the media. Now, of course, you know, I always say that 25% of the people in every poll, 25% will get totally the wrong answer, you know, if there's a right answer. And this is one that has a right answer. If you're trusting the media... you really haven't been paying attention. So yeah, about a quarter of every poll has exactly the wrong answer.
So there's a TV show, I think it's only on Apple TV, called Severance. And people kept mentioning it to me and saying, hey, why aren't you watching that Severance series? It's great. And I wasn't interested until Michael Malice described it as He said, Severance is superb. It's Lost meets Dilbert. And then I thought, well, I got to watch that. And it's also weird because one of the actors is Adam Scott. Kind of weird, isn't it? That somebody would be in a show that has a Dilbert-esque part to it, and his name is Adam Scott. Well, I was all about ready to watch it until I saw some other people giving their comments about it. And now I'm not interested.
What does Scott think about trust in the media?
You know, if somebody says, yeah, it's really slow and nothing happens, I'm not going to watch that. But I never watched Lost. So being half Dilbert is good. Being half Lost is sort of a reason not to watch it. So probably won't watch it. How many of you saw the putdown that J.D. Vance did on... Mehdi Hassan, who used to work at MSNBC, but I think he got fired or quit. I don't remember. But here's what Mehdi said. He said, hey, J.D. Vance. He said this on X. Hey, J.D. Vance, I know you're busy lecturing the Europeans on free speech, but have you seen this? And it's a report about the AP being kicked out of the press briefings. And J.D. Vance answers with this on X. Now, this is the vice president I want. His first words. Yes, dummy. Yes, dummy.
I think there's a difference between not giving a reporter a seat in the White House press briefing room and jailing people for dissenting views. The latter is a threat to free speech. The former is not. Hope that helps. I like how helpful he is. Hey, dummy. Now, do you think that a vice president could have ever said, yes, dummy, to a member of the media before the Trump administration? But now it just makes sense. It just seemed completely normal. So Elon Musk has proposed that when he visits Fort Knox to see if the gold is really there as part of the Doge project, then maybe they should live stream it. Now, I don't know if that's a good idea or not, because could you tell by just looking at it that it's all there? I guess the fun would be if there's none there.
