What is the highlight of human civilization?
See, my comments will be coming online. Come on. Technology is a little slow today. You can do it. All right, we'll get to that later, I guess. 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 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. Spectacular. All right, everybody. Let's check in with the world of science and see if there's any scientific studies that they could have skipped just by asking Scott. Oh, here's one.
What scientific studies could have been bypassed?
According to UCL Political Science, female lobbyists are more likely to gain access to meetings with policy makers. Did they really have to study that to find out that female lobbyists can get meetings with policymakers more easily? Apparently even with female policymakers, but I would have known that too. Let me tell you about my career day when I was a senior in college. So in my little college in upstate New York when I was a senior, the bunch of local companies would come in, and they would interview the seniors to maybe make job offers. And one of the big employers was a pharmaceutical company looking for sales reps. And I knew a lot of people in the college. It was a very small college.
And I saw that the people I was competing against, because we were sort of lining up to do our little interviews, weren't nearly as accomplished as me academically. So I'm thinking to myself, this is going to be easy. I am so going to get this job offer to be a pharmaceutical representative. And the other people who were in line were really hot girls who were not that good at academics.
What are the implications of female lobbyists in politics?
And every single one of the hot girls got an offer to be a pharmaceutical sales rep. And none of the guys, not a single male was offered anything. And that's where I learned that you don't need to do a study to find out that women can get more access to meetings. Yes, women can definitely get more access to meetings. You could have just asked me. All right, let's see if science has any more surprises. Oh, yeah, here we go. According to Eric Dolan, who's writing in SciPost, there's new... This one's just funny. There's new evidence, new research. There's new research in the Journal of Affective Disorders that suggests that people who engage in sexual activity... at least once a week, are less likely to experience symptoms of depression.
How does sexual activity relate to happiness?
Somebody actually took time and money to study that. Yes, yes. People who are getting laid are happier than people who are not getting laid, period. Now, sometimes it's cause. The cause and effect can go either way in that particular case. But yes, people who are having more sex, I can almost guarantee you, on average, are happier than people who are not having sex. So next time, just ask me. You don't need to do that study. Just ask me. In other news of hilarious science, do you remember the claims that were all over social media that some group had used some wild technology that was looking under the pyramids and they found these vast columns suggesting an entire different civilization was at work for years before the pyramids? And as soon as I saw that, I said, no, that's not real.
Well, apparently today, according to the AFP, the scientists are saying it's a rubbish claim and there's no giant structures beneath the Egyptian pyramids. But apparently all the experts who are aware of the technology that they use to image onto the ground, pretty much all of them say that technology can't do that.
What new technology claims are being debunked?
Even if there were giant columns under the pyramids, you couldn't see them with that technology. That definitely wouldn't work. So I could be wrong. Maybe there are giant pillars under the pyramids. But I'm going to claim, at least temporarily, I'm going to claim success in debunking that without doing any research at all. As soon as I saw that one, I thought, probably not. Probably not.
