Come on in here. We got everything happening today. 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 day. 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... Cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, 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, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens right now. Go. We're working on all cylinders now. Yes siree, things are looking good.
I wonder if there's any sketchy science we can laugh at. Oh yeah, here's some. Sketchy science. According to Drexel University, there's a link between proximity to green space, meaning trees, and how healthy your baby is. So apparently living near newly planted trees is linked to healthier birth outcomes. Now, do you think that's real? Do you think that they can really measure that? Well, apparently it was not a randomized controlled study. Big surprise. But don't you think there are more trees where people have more money? Just generally. I mean, you know, it's not going to apply to Appalachia. But generally speaking, don't you think trees are a bit of a luxury item? Do you have a lot of trees in the poorest part of the inner city? No.
So if you even have the wherewithal to plant a tree, or anybody wants to plant a tree near you, probably you're doing better than people who are desperately poor. So I'm going to say I do not believe that study. Here's one from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. They found that bridging political debates, that's what they were trying to do, they found that giving people factual knowledge about a political topic can make people... less polarized. That doesn't surprise you. If you took a citizen and let's say two people were on different sides of an issue, but you educated both of them. So you gave them both the maximum amount of information about the topic. Apparently, the study says that they become less polarized and they become more reasonable and they're more, okay, I can see both sides. Here's what I don't trust about it. I'll bet that only works for people who weren't paying attention to politics that much.
The people that I guess I have the most contact with are the people who are super partisan. Do you think if you give a super partisan person information that says maybe they're wrong, do you think it makes them friendlier? I don't think so. I think it just makes them angrier. Damn it, you and your information. So I think maybe the study is correct because most people are not paying that much attention to politics and to policies. But I'll bet you the most partisan people get the angriest when they see information that disagrees with them. Here's one of my favorite stories for the day. So apparently Seattle has some kind of a park where there was a lot of nudity. Like, why would they even have that?
But it was a nudist park. But now it caused so much public masturbation in the nudist park. Okay. the post-millennials reporting on this, that they put in a request for a proposal for what they call public masturbation deterrent infrastructure as part of a half a million dollar improvement plan. Now, if you were going to respond to the request for proposals, for whatever you believed was a good implementation of a public masturbation deterrent infrastructure, what would you build? Would you just build a big wall? Because it's a park. You can't really have walls around everything, right? So I don't know how a wall would work. But here's the good news. I think Hillary Clinton is finally going to get that statue she deserves.
That should cut down on the public masturbation. What else is happening? I wasn't going to talk about this story because I don't like the stories about one element of crime or some weird thing happened to one person or one family or something. But I guess everybody wants me to talk about this. So, so many people have contacted me about it. It's like, all right, all right, I'll talk about it.
