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

Scott Adams 0:01
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and Frankly, you've never had a better time. But if you'd like 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 tanker, chalice, a 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 of the dopamine to end the day. The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens. Yeah, that's right. Right now. Go. Sergio says his coffee is hot and ready, just like all of us. Couldn't be any hotter. Couldn't be any more ready.

Well, let's see what's going on in science. There's some kind of electron breakthrough. So Mario Nuffel is summarizing this from SciTech Daily. But Japanese and Korean researchers have cracked the code to manipulating electrons at the molecular level. Wow. I'll bet you were waiting for scientists to be able to manipulate electrons at the molecular level.

What recent scientific breakthroughs were discussed?

And if you're like me, you thought to yourself, hmm, I don't know what good that is. But apparently it will create ultra-fast processing and it will revolutionize solar cells and LEDs and basically anything The world of electronics might never be the same if they get this to be commercial and scale up. But looks like maybe they can. In other news, scientist John Hopkins University figured out how to use CRISPR, you know, the genetic editing thing, to create gigantic-sized cells Tomatoes and eggplants. Let's see. Gene therapy to create gigantic eggplants. I wonder if a professional humorist could do anything with that. Let's see. Whose genes would they use to increase the size of the eggplants? I can't think of a single joke.
Scott Adams 2:31
I don't know. You know, I was hoping there would be a joke there about the giant eggplants and whose genes they use to beef them up. But I can't think of a thing, so we'll move on. Here's a study. According to study finds, men with excellent sperm quality live longer. You could have just asked me. Let me explain those to you.

What are the implications of CRISPR technology?

Scott Adams 3:02
Probably the single most useful measure of your health is your reproductive fitness. If you're a man, it means can you produce great sperm and deliver it? And so I think they could have saved a little time on this study by just going to me and saying, Scott, what do you think? People who have excellent sperm compared to people who have degraded sperm, who do you think is going to live longer? I think I could have gotten this one every time. Save you a lot of money. Just ask me next time. Meanwhile, speaking of Siemens, a company called Siemens, this is actually a coincidence. I didn't realize I put these two stories together. But Siemens, the company, not the sperm, announced a $285 million investment in U.S. manufacturing. Now,

Some years ago, I bought a tiny little bit of stock in Siemens because I thought we were going to stop Huawei from selling this kind of equipment in the U.S. And I thought, hmm, who is the competition to Huawei? So I thought Siemens might be zooming. But I eventually sold that tiny little investment and never made money on it. Because Siemens just sort of languished for a long time. But if they're coming into the U.S., good news. And Trump's also announced some kind of major shipping infrastructure investment, $20 billion. Thomas Stevenson, a post-millennial, is writing about this. And I guess there's a big shipping company called CMA CGM that's going to invest this. So it's investing in infrastructure. So I think that means ports, beefing up the ports. This could be related.
Scott Adams 4:57
I would assume, to the fact that Trump wants to beef up all of the shipbuilding capabilities in the United States, commercial and military. That's a big, big deal. The shipbuilding thing, I mean, if you just look at the size of the ocean and you look at the threats that are going to be coming at us from other shipbuilding countries, and it just seems to me also that the technology...
