What is the highlight of Coffee with Scott Adams?

Scott Adams 0:07
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 this experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brain, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a 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 now. Go. Oh, that's some good stuff. Well, I have it on good authority that anxiety is high today for a lot of people. I think the news is making people anxious.
Scott Adams 1:04
But I'm here to make that all go away. So all of your anxiety, you can already feel it draining out of your body, can't you? Oh, you can. You can. Do some Uberman breathing while you're listening. That's two long inhales through your nose, one after another, followed by exhaling out your mouth. You'll have to do it three times. Your whole body will feel different.

How does coffee relate to health benefits?

Scott Adams 1:30
But speaking of health, did you know that there's a new study? You won't believe it, but it turns out that coffee is good for you. there's a study the Journal of Nutrition is writing about in which they found out that consuming more than two cups of coffee, as long as it's not sweetened, it was associated with reduced overall cancer incidence and mortality. That's right. Coffee can help you prevent cancer, according to science, which is never wrong. And this is kind of interesting. You know how for your entire life you've complained about how, yeah, they can't even predict the weather tomorrow. How are they going to do this or that when they can't even predict tomorrow's weather? Well, apparently there's an AI-driven method, according to The Guardian, that will be able to predict the weather with very little resources. Something like a single researcher with a desktop computer. will be able to have more accurate forecasts than all the computers that they're using now to do forecasts with way less energy, thousands of times less computing power.

What is Trump's executive order about the Department of Education?

Scott Adams 2:53
So you'll be able to sit at your desk and predict what your weather will be tomorrow. How about that? So I guess the job of news weather person might be a risk when you could just go to your computer and it will have a better idea than all the experts. Well, as you know, Trump signed an executive order to get rid of the Department of Education and probably had one of the best um i guess presentations where so he was surrounded by school-age kids who were all at their own little desks and they all had their own little executive orders so he signs his executive order while the kids are signing their executive orders it was impossibly cute But the funny thing is, you know, the reason that they're getting into the Department of Education, the critics say it's bad for the children. So he surrounds himself with all these happy children. And then Trump says that giving the power back to the states might be Better for the teachers than what they were getting before. So it's good news for the teachers.
Scott Adams 4:21
But the executive order can't actually get rid of it. You still need Congress to vote on it. I guess he thinks he has the votes. If only the Republicans agree, they can vote it out. But the executive order can kind of gut it. It can stop it from functioning, even though it still exists. So that's happening. But yeah, Trump says teachers will be, quote, better rewarded with the education in the hands of the states. Now, let me give you how the news has treated this. Don't you think the most important question about the Department of Education is, is what will be different if it doesn't exist? How many of you can answer that question? Most of you, if you're a Republican, your answer to the question would be, well, I guess it didn't do anything because scores of tests never went up. So I guess it never did anything. But that's a little oversimplified. Don't you think? A little oversimplified? And then the Democrats are being told it will be the end of education or something.
