Chapter 1: What is Coffee with Scott Adams?

8.528 - 29.322 Scott Adams

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 brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind.

30.006 - 59.549 Scott Adams

Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine. At the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Oh, that's some good stuff. Well, we'll talk about the stock market and all the tariffs and stuff, but let me ease into it with some fun news.

0

60.589 - 93.765 Scott Adams

Now, many of you saw the TV series Game of Thrones, and you remember that there were these big, freaky white wolves, and they were called dire wolves. Now, I didn't know that dire wolves were a real extinct species, but apparently it's a real thing. And a company, genetic startup company called Colossal, has managed to clone some direwolves. So now you can get your own direwolf. Well, not yet.

0

93.885 - 117.934 Scott Adams

I mean, they're not selling them. But I would think they'd want to. So they've been extinct for some 12,000 years. But now you can get one. I think a woolly mammoth is going to come soon. But I would like a woolly mammoth wolf. Is there any reason we can't start combining things? I mean, it's impressive that they recreated something exactly that existed.

0

118.315 - 146.323 Scott Adams

I guess they took a regular wolf and then they gene edited just the parts that were different to make a dire wolf. Now, I heard from my neighbor once that if you have a dog of any kind, burglars will stay away from your house because they don't like to mess with a dog. But I've got a tiny little old dog, and I would like to maybe have something a little scarier.

147.264 - 171.492 Scott Adams

Do you think you can domesticate any of these dire wolves? Because if a dire wolf comes to the door, nobody's going to rob your house if you have a wolf. So I want a well-trained, well-behaved, but deadly wolf. In related news, there's a dog cloning business. This already exists if you want to clone your own dog.

171.512 - 195.162 Scott Adams

New York Post is reporting that you could take the DNA from your deceased pet and you can have it cloned. Apparently, it's such a booming business, they can barely keep up with it. But like I said, I think I like the cloned Snickers. but I liked her also to be a little more dire wolf than she is.

195.822 - 223.051 Scott Adams

So I'd be like, all right, you like treats and you like bugging me all day, but could you also be a wolf to protect my house? And I think someday, someday I'm going to get my own wolf. Well, meanwhile, on the X platform, Elon Musk is, allegedly, according to the BBC, clamping down on parody accounts. I thought that was already done.

Chapter 2: What are the latest developments in genetic cloning?

223.392 - 250.524 Scott Adams

Wasn't it already a rule that you had to say you're a parody or you're fake? But apparently the rule is that you must say you're a parody or a fake. I'm not sure how new that is. It feels like that's been the case for a while. But that's a good idea because I get impersonated now and then on X. So I wouldn't mind having a little more clarity on that. Thanks, Vic.

253.525 - 277.959 Scott Adams

How many of you saw, I guess Joe Rogan had an interesting guest, Ben Lamb. Ben Lamb. And he talked about, speaking of genetic stuff, he talked about gene editing of human beings in China. So allegedly China might be ahead of us. You could argue if that's really ahead of us in the ability to gene edit humans.

0

279.321 - 309.347 Scott Adams

So there's one story, I don't know how confirmed this is, that they did some testing on humans. making some babies that were gene-edited to be resistant to HIV. Does that sound real? I don't know. I give that a maybe, maybe. But then there's rumor that maybe China has also experimented with making kids who are more intelligent. You know what I think?

0

310.728 - 337.215 Scott Adams

I think if you tried to make intelligent humans more intelligent, you would have just the worst problems. Because there's a movie I used to love. It was one of the best movies ever called Little Man Tate. And it was about a little kid who was a genius. And the thing I loved about it is it accurately showed that if you're too smart, you can see all the things that can go wrong.

0

337.853 - 364.186 Scott Adams

You can see all the dangers and all the evil of the world because he's smart. And if you're a kid and there's nothing you can do about those evils, it just makes you crazy. So yeah, so Jodie Foster played the mom in that movie. It was a great movie. And I think that the smarter you are, the more mentally tortured you are. Elon Musk says that about himself. And I have observed...

364.964 - 398.125 Scott Adams

that there is a certain amount of intelligence that does make people a little squirrely. Thankfully, I'm just below that level. I'm smart enough to get some stuff done, but not so smart that I have to go to a therapist. So I hit the sweet spot. Kind of lucky there. I don't know. What do you think? It seems to me that with AI coming, that having smarter citizens won't make that much difference.

399.025 - 423.55 Scott Adams

Because in theory, we're only a few years away from AGI. I'm not sure I believe it, but let's just go with it. So if we had AGI, so that's what would be the next level of AI, do we really need extra smart people? How much do we need them? Because they're not going to know more than the AI.

425.094 - 452.7 Scott Adams

So maybe China would create a bunch of sad, smart people who could only see that the world is going to fall apart. And then they wouldn't even be able to get a job because the AGI would be doing the job. And they would be like, huh, could you at least have given me some genes so I'd be good at welding? Because that's still useful. Anyway. Here's another story that's like a million other stories.

453.8 - 486.357 Scott Adams

Caltech has renamed its top diversity official while keeping the DEI office intact. The Washington Free Beacon is reporting on this. So instead of getting rid of the DEI, which the federal government has required in order for them to get any federal funding, they promoted that of DEI to Associate Vice President for Campus Climate Engagement and Success. which is just the DEI person.

Chapter 3: How is Trump impacting the coal industry?

1453.888 - 1476.021 Scott Adams

And then you look at Ford is offering these employee level discounts to people, which sounds like a pretty good deal. Your costs will go down. That's why he's calling your tax hike. We also don't know, where it all ends. So if you don't know where it ends, it's hard to say that it's a tax hike.

0

1477.182 - 1498.486 Scott Adams

And he also leaves out the fact that the families, you know, the average middle class families are the intended benefactors. They're the ones who should come out the best in the long run. It's literally being done for them because I don't think the rich people who own the factories in China are exactly very happy right now.

0

1499.69 - 1531.839 Scott Adams

But the people who just rely on jobs and manufacturing jobs, they should be the direct beneficiaries. But it might take a few years. And that's a nuance that the Democrats can just leave out and call it a tax hike. So unfortunately, that's a good persuasion. It's not accurate, but it's not inaccurate in the short run. So persuasion-wise, unfortunately, it works.

0

1533.874 - 1566.841 Scott Adams

And then they say, as far as I know, this is a complete lie, that Doge is sabotaging Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Now, I think what he did, Schumer, I think what he did was he wanted to avoid the most debunkable lie which would be that Trump wants to cut those things, because he doesn't. He's been very clear 100% of the time, Doge and Trump and Musk have all said the same thing.

0

1567.001 - 1594.464 Scott Adams

Nobody's ever deviated once. They do not want to cut the benefits. They will not cut the benefits. But since that's been one of the main attack lines, and it seems to work, Schumer's looking for something that's not exactly that, but you could kind of hear it that way. So instead of saying that he's going to cut your benefits, which would be debunked, he says that Doge is sabotaging them.

1595.765 - 1620.909 Scott Adams

What does sabotaging them mean? Now, he's probably making an argument that if you change the systems, the systems might absolutely hiccup during the changeover. But anybody with an ounce of common sense would know that eventually... Every kind of computer system for every kind of everything has to be upgraded. And it's been probably decades overdue for some of these systems.

1621.689 - 1649.126 Scott Adams

So this is a clever little lie that Doge is sabotaging those things. Now, do you think that Doge is intentionally sabotaging them? Because sabotage is something you do intentionally. He's not saying that Doge is wrecking them, because that would suggest it would maybe happen accidentally. He's saying that they're sabotaging them. Now, here's the other thing that the Democrats do.

1650.307 - 1673.182 Scott Adams

And I'm not going to say that Republicans don't do it, but for some reason I notice it more when Democrats do it. They do this weird mind-reading thing where they'll just look at somebody who's a Republican and And the Republican will just be doing normal things like, in this case, trying to reduce costs and improve the efficiency of three vital systems.

1674.803 - 1702.576 Scott Adams

And instead of saying, well, we observe that they say and they're acting on preserving these systems and making them stronger. So instead of that, which would be observable, they come up with their secret thoughts are that they really want to sabotage it for what? Why would they want to sabotage it? And what would be, like, how can they imagine that would work out for them?

Chapter 4: What are the implications of increasing the defense budget?

1909.014 - 1939.789 Scott Adams

You should follow Mario Northall on X. Tesla is introducing cabin radar for some of their models, the Cybertruck and the Model Ys. So the cabin radar... will be able to tell who's in what seat, not the personality, but it'll know if a child or an adult is in what seat. And then it will be able to detect health problems and do dynamic airbag deployment based on the size of the passenger.

0

1940.828 - 1966.293 Scott Adams

and maybe the age. There'd be an assumed age, I think, with the size. And a number of benefits, such as you would know if somebody left a child in a hot car, for example. So that's amazing. So this would be another case where Elon Musk and his company are trying hard to protect the health and well-being of American citizens.

0

1967.236 - 1991.812 Scott Adams

So what do you think would be the outcome of Elon Musk spending his full time trying to save humanity by making us interplanetary, trying to bring communications to everywhere on the planet through Skylink, trying to cure people with blindness and serious disabilities through Neuralink,

0

1992.933 - 2013.462 Scott Adams

and then making tesla which if you believe in climate change would be a huge step forward and even if you didn't they're excellent cars which will be safer than other cars because the self-driving will be way so way safer than human driving i think it already is and then he's uh he's he's going even further

0

2014.062 - 2043.103 Scott Adams

with his cabin radar to make it safer in a whole new way than other cars I've even thought of. And that he's also working on Doge to save America because the biggest existential threat to America is the debt, and only he would be brave enough to take that on. So how do you think he would be rewarded for this nonstop, high-energy, continuous, pro-human, pro-American strategy

2043.393 - 2072.494 Scott Adams

pro-survival point of view? Well, you would not be surprised. According to the New York Post, there's a Democrat murder culture. So they did a survey and asked who's up for murder if the people are Trump or Musk. And 38% of respondents said it would be at least, quote, somewhat justified to murder Trump. And 31% said the same about Musk. Murder. Murder.

2074.113 - 2108.173 Scott Adams

And if you're looking at only the left-leaning respondents, the number thinking that murder might be justified of Trump is 55%, and Musk is 48%. So I would argue that Musk is the one American who by far, by far, is doing the most for the economic... and future of humanity and America in particular. And what did the left do?

2109.434 - 2132.601 Scott Adams

Because that would take their power away, they brainwashed their people to think that murdering him is the right response. Murder. And you could all see this coming. I mean, it's been happening since the January 6th trials, that as soon as they started getting away with Hitler, Hitler, Hitler, and I blame the media, by the way.

2133.542 - 2169.32 Scott Adams

Imagine you're a host on CNN and you let one of your hosts say that Trump or Musk or Hitler. You created a murder culture. If you didn't shut that shit down, you are absolutely guilty of aiding, abetting what will look like probably murder attempts. Murder. So that's where we've gotten to. The Democrats have so little to offer in terms of policy and ideas that they've literally turned to murder.
