What is the highlight of human civilization?
Coffee with Scott Adams. Usually this is what I tell you to check your stocks or I check them for you. Don't do that. Whatever you do, don't check your stocks. But let's get our comments going here. And we'll be in good shape. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do-do. 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 understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass or tank or chalice or stein, a canteen jar 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 end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And guess what? It happens now. Go. Oh, so good. Well, before we get into the politics... Let's check on science. There's already science that didn't need to be done.
What is the simultaneous sip?
According to Cy Post of Vladimir Hedra, he's writing that there's a study that shows that men are more distracted by sexual images than women. Now, you probably know what I'm gonna say next. You could have just asked Scott. Yes, somebody got paid To show porn to men and women and then measure their response. I feel like giving a slow clap, a standing ovation to whoever successfully got funding to do this study. If I were a scientist, I would spend most of my time trying to figure out how to do totally bullshit studies that were fun for me. It'd be whatever was my favorite thing. I'd be like, hmm, let's see. Do people who read cartoons have a better day? Does reading cartoons reduce your depression?
Anyway, next time, just ask me if you want to know who likes sexual images more, men or women. Let's see, do we have any backward science where they got the causation backwards? I don't know. Let's look at this one. According to SciPost, Eric Nolan is writing... that there's some new research that links gratitude development to lower adolescent depression. So the more gratitude you develop, the less depression you have is the suggestion. But could that be working the other direction? Because you know what? When I'm depressed, I don't get depressed often, but if I got depressed, I don't think I'd be thinking about gratitude. But if for some reason I became less depressed, I would suddenly think, you know, I'm grateful for this or that.
Do you think they got the causation right? I don't know. Maybe. Maybe they did. But this is one where I say to myself, it could have gone the other way. Do you remember the news about the tariffs applying to those two islands that had no people on them, just penguins? Do you remember that story? It turns out there was a good reason for putting tariffs on the penguin islands.
What recent studies on distraction and gratitude reveal?
If you didn't hear this story, it's funny. When Trump put all of his tariffs on everything, it included two, I guess you'd call them countries, but they don't have any people, just penguins. But the reason is so that real countries with real people can't use the fake countries as a workaround for the tariffs. In other words, they can say, oh, it's not coming from my country. It's coming from the penguin country. the penguin island there's no tariffs on the penguins so actually it made total sense they're just closing a loophole here's an update on the signal gate according to the guardian they did an investigation and mike waltz has been cleared now he did make the mistake But here's what he did not do.
He did not ever intentionally add Jeffrey Goldberg to his signal contacts. All right. So if you're asking yourself, well, you know, I understand, you know, punching the wrong button. But why in the world would he have Jeffrey Goldberg's contact in the first place? And the answer is he didn't know he had it. And there is an explanation that makes sense. So let's see if I can get this right. So there was an email that got forward to the Trump administration. campaign, now not to Mike Walsh, but to the campaign, and then the campaign wanted to get some extra people's opinions. The email included Jeffrey Goldberg's contact information. So somebody named Brian Hughes copied and pasted the email from Jeffrey Goldberg into a Signal text message.
