Chapter 1: What topics are covered in this episode?
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?

Chapter 2: How does proximity to green space affect health?
Why would the state of New York pay for her legal defense? Well, their argument is that she would not be accused of these crimes had she not accused Trump of crimes. And therefore, it's all part of her professional work as a person who accuses people of crimes. Because, you know, she's Attorney General.
So apparently that thin connection was enough for her to get her legal costs paid for by the state. Wouldn't you love to be a taxpayer in your state and know that you're paying for Hunter Biden's old lawyer to defend your attorney general? who had tried to lawfare a president and change the government in the United States and was guilty of the same crimes.
And you're paying for it because you're a taxpayer. Unbelievable, but true. So here's something that could have been predicted. I don't know if I ever did, but I'll just describe it now. Generally speaking, Democrats were pushing the idea that everybody is unique and special. And because of intersectionality, you know, you might be a black lesbian woman and I might be a disabled Hispanic man.
But everybody was an individual. And so they would celebrate what made people different. It was all about being different. Whereas Republicans, and here's where you can fact check me, so I'm just spitballing here. Republicans tend to celebrate what they have in common. So Republicans would say, yeah, 4th of July, we're all Americans. That's what we have in common.
They would try to get everybody to speak English as their first language. We got lots of stuff in common. They would talk about, you know, not just nation, but family and God. And they'd say, oh, you're religious. I'm religious, too. Let's all be religious. And we'll have lots in common.
So if you were to fast forward that and say those are two philosophies, one is celebrating how you're different and the other is celebrating, and of course, celebrating how you're different also gives you reason to complain about the other. Wait a minute. You different people are getting extra benefits from the government. I hate you. So here we are.
with the Democrats tearing each other apart after losing the last election. So we've already seen prominent Democrats like Bill Maher, Stephen A. Smith, James Carville, who are attacking the progressive crazy part of their party. But now we're seeing that Michelle Obama is going on a podcast, and apparently she was just revealing, as Jesse Waters was telling us, that
that Michelle and Barack Obama were at one point in couples counseling. Why would you say that on your podcast? That just seems like so wrong. Now, if she were just an ordinary citizen, I'd say, well, it's up to her. But given that they're a political family, prominent Democrats, just feels like a little bit of an attack
on you know a family member and then we see uh the head of the dnc dnc chairman ken martin he went on fox news to complain about his uh co whatever he is he's the co-chairman i guess david hogg so now the head of the dnc is complaining about his co-chairman who wants to uh He wants to primary a bunch of ineffective Democrats, which is not really the job of the people who are in charge of the DNC.
