What is the highlight of human civilization?

Scott Adams 0:00
All right, almost ready. There we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. 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 cover mug or a glass of tanker chalice, 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 at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. That's right. Go. Oh, thank you, Paul. Everything's working today. Good to know. Well, I wonder if there's any science that they could have saved some money by asking me. Oh, here we go.

According to SciPost, Bianca Setianago is writing, there was a study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology, and they found that simply imagining natural environments can reduce your stress and promote relaxation more so than imagining an urban setting. Uh-huh, that's right. Imagining nature can make you feel better than imagining an urban setting. Huh, I wonder if there's any way they could have gotten to that result faster and with less expense. Anyway, anyway, oh yeah, you could have asked me. Or you could have asked anybody who's ever been trained as a hypnotist because it's lesson number one. I think it's literally the first thing we learned, that if you make somebody close their eyes and imagine a nature scene, that their body will relax. Literally, I think it's the first thing you learn. So yeah, you could have just asked me about that next time. Next time do that. According to Zero Hedge, the House has passed a bill, which means it hasn't passed the Senate yet.

requiring proof of citizenship to vote. So it's called the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, or SAVE. And it passed with a little bit of margin. Yeah, even four Democrats joined in. Interesting. So Chip Roy is the sponsor for this. And it would amend the National Voter Registration Act also to require states to obtain proof of citizenship in person from people registering to vote. So you better bring your ID. But it even goes further, and it requires states to establish programs to remove illegal immigrants from existing voter rolls. And it allows U.S. citizens to sue election officials who don't adhere to the proof of citizenship requirements. Oh, that's interesting. So it allows individuals to do the suing. Now, I saw somebody's comment that this will never fly.

Even if it gets passed, the Supreme Court will knock it down, some say, because the states have, I think what was described as an ironclad control over how voting is done. But I'm not so sure. I'm no Supreme Court expert. But it does seem to me like the federal government, in its role of protecting the country, I mean, just as a national defense issue, could require that the only people who vote are American citizens. So other than that, I could see that the states would have most of the control. But we'll see. I don't know what the predicted fate of this is, whether it gets completely passed by the Senate and whether it can survive a challenge. But anyway, it's got some Democrats on it, so that's not the worst thing. Let's see what the View host, Sunny Hostin, says about this. Well, she says that requiring voter ID... is bad for many blacks and women who will not be able to vote.

I love how crazy she sounds. When I watch Sadie Houston, I like looking at her eyes and her face as she says things that probably every person knows is bullshit. We're still looking for that one person who doesn't know how to vote or doesn't know how to get an ID. but still wants to vote. Now I do believe there are people who don't have IDs, but I don't think they're clamoring to vote. So we're still looking for just one, just one person who says, and you know what would happen if one person came forward and said, I don't know how to get ID, but I'd really like to vote. What would happen? whoever they were talking to would tell them how to get an ID and help them vote. So as soon as you find anybody who's in that category, the first person they talk to solves their problem.
