What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
We're doing TV time now where all the time is weird. A little better. 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'd like to take your experience up two levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. 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's going to happen right now. Yeah, exactly. All right, the universe has been reset. Everything's good. Of course, we'll talk about the president's speech. But first, I was trying out Grok's voice mode.
today so I guess if you have the app I think it's only on the app the special app for Grok it's free the voice mode so you can have conversations with it but you can set it for what kind of voice you're getting back so you can set it for an assistant mode where it's you know just kind of friendly and helpful but it's got sexy mode and it's got romantic mode and it's got argumentative mode And I'm trying to figure out how to make them all work at the same time so it feels like a wife. All right, well, I'll let that just sit there for a while. But it looks fun. It's worth a try. I don't know if it's happened yet, but Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who I'm liking a lot, by the way. Have you heard Lutnick talk? You know there's some people that you just hear them talk and you say,
are you really that smart? You talk like a smart person. Lutnik is one of those. When he talks, I think, huh, I can see how you got rich. Makes sense. You're pretty smart. Anyway, he's saying that the tariffs on Mexico and Canada...
What are the implications of tariffs on Mexico and Canada?
Probably are going to be resolved, meaning that there'll be some kind of middle ground, meaning there's some kind of accommodation, meaning we'll figure out how to work with each other as soon as today. Now, in theory, that should have been good for the stock markets, but we'll see. There's a lot of roiling going on. So in theory, the tariffs, which were big, 25% and everything but energy, I think, they were really just to get some kind of little extra energy for an agreement, especially about stopping the fentanyl trade. so one could imagine if canada and or mexico said wait wait and study these terrible tariffs but we do a little bit more stopping that fentanyl and then that would be something you could negotiate with so in theory we'll have some kind of accommodation there but you know it might be optimistic to say it's going to happen today but lotnik i think was warning the markets
to not, you know, don't incorporate this as some kind of a permanent situation. So that was exactly the right thing to do. He might be off on how quickly they can resolve it, but maybe not. You know, maybe it's just one day. It's possible. Meanwhile, the premier of Ontario in Canada has canceled Elon Musk's Starlink deal. I feel like companies keep punishing or countries keep punishing themselves. Well, we're going to cut off our own access to really inexpensive internet. Take that. All right. Okay. It's also funny to me that people think that It's obvious that Elon Musk has found some way to monetize this involved in the Trump administration. If I can give you any business advice at all, it goes like this.
Associating yourself with Trump pretty much guarantees you lose half of your market. Nobody who understands anything about business would have said, you know what? you know what would be really good for business is if I associate with half of the country instead of the whole country. There was no way that Musk didn't understand that it would be risky just to throw in for once. It doesn't even matter which side. It would work either way. But I feel like the Democrats don't understand enough about business to know that if you're good at business, you wouldn't do this for business reasons.
