Chapter 1: What is the highlight of human civilization?
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization, and maybe robots, too. But if you think 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 tine, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid.
Chapter 2: What are the health benefits of coffee?
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 damn it, it's going to happen right now. Go. Oh, that's good stuff. So good. Well, I wonder if there's any new news about the benefits of coffee. Oh, yeah, there is.
From the European Journal of Who Cares, habitual coffee consumption is associated with a lower odds of frailty later in life. How many of you are frail because you didn't have enough coffee? Well, sometimes it takes two cups before you're no longer frail. But in other news, according to ZME Science, did you know that magic mushrooms The use is soaring in the United States.
Chapter 3: How are magical mushrooms being used for mental health?
Apparently in every age group, people are using magic mushrooms to cure their mental problems and maybe just have a good time and get rid of their anxiety and their depression, and it's all working. And it makes me wonder, what if they made magic mushroom coffee? Huh? Huh? Huh? You hear me?
How would you like to sip your coffee, become less frail, and at the same time, cure your depression and all your mental problems while having a good time? I can't think of a better day. So someday, pray, please give me coffee with mushrooms in them. Please. Don't try to make your own at home. All right, importantly, there will be a Spaceless event after this podcast with Owen Gregorian hosting.
You can find that on the X platform. Just go to Owen Gregorian's account. You'll find the link. Or you can go to mine because I repost it. So Spaceless after the show if you'd like to get a little extra. And who doesn't want extra? You all want extra. Come on. Well, here's another story about batteries that I like.
According to Wired, did you know that the grid-scale batteries, the gigantic batteries that they put in the network itself to store electricity when there is electricity so it's available when there's not, apparently the cost of that has dropped like crazy. And so with the costs going down, the number of batteries being added to the network is going crazy.
So that's one of those really big stories that doesn't have a, there's no moment when it becomes a story because it's just a thing that's happening over time. But it's one of the biggest things because if we add batteries everywhere in our network, we would basically never lose electricity and we'd be able to have, you know, a lot more solar if you like solar and other stuff. So that's good news.
According to the Daily Mail, some people believe that they've discovered a giant underwater UFO base just off the West Coast, off of Malibu. Now, if I were going to build a gigantic underwater UFO base, that's where I'd put it. I'd put it just off of Malibu. But apparently it's a big structure that you can see that's got a flat top.
And it's hard to understand how underwater there would be a gigantic flat top to anything. So maybe. And apparently it's a, associated with a lot of UFO spottings. So they think, yes. And I guess it's called Sycamore Knoll, and it's a natural underwater structure. Some say it's natural, but some say it's a garage for UFOs. Doesn't it feel like they could just go down there and look at it?
Is it really impossible to... send some divers down off the coast of Malibu. It feels like it wouldn't be the hardest thing in the world to check out, but I'd rather they don't check it out because I like to think that there's a gigantic UFO base just off my coast. Well, I saw a post by Mike Cernovich who says that I guess he's spent enough time in D.C. recently that And he says that D.C.
has been cleaned up and somewhat quickly since the beginning of the Trump administration. He says D.C. is so clean now, looks like it's supposed to. It looks like civilization. Trump and his acting D.C. U.S. Attorney Ed Martin have already transformed it almost completely overnight. So that would be another situation where you just needed somebody to try and

Chapter 4: What are the implications of the DOJ's research funding cuts?
has largely replaced your habit of looking at the real news, the traditional news. When was the last time you said to yourself, I think I've got to go look at CBS News, or I think I'll go to the AP or Reuters website and see what's new? When was the last time you did that? And I'm thinking to myself, you know, CNN's traffic and MSNBC's traffic are all going down.
At what point do the podcasters put in a business the thing that all the podcasters need to stay in business? So in other words, a lot of people say to me, the only place I hear news is on your podcast. I don't know how many people are in that category. But it used to be true for Jon Stewart when he did The Daily Show. Young people would say, it's the only place I get my news.
Other people might go to Bill Maher's show and say, yeah, I don't really pay attention to the news, but he catches me up on all the important stuff. It's okay when you've got this big, robust news industry and only a few people who are well-known talking about it. So if you've just got your Bill Maher's and your Jon Stewart's and Joe Rogan talking about the news, you're fine.
But what happens when all the podcasters are just talking about the news and then you say to yourself, as I've said to myself fairly recently, why would I ever go to a news site? Because I just go to X and I go to Mario Noffel's account and every single morning he's got a summary that he's picked from all the news sources and And the summary is usually all I care about.
It's like, oh, Trump thinks he's close to a peace deal. Oh, there's this new invention. And it seems to me that we're on a path where all the original reporting will disappear because there won't be anybody going to look at it directly. They'll only be seeing it through somebody who essentially borrowed it for their own content, like I do. So what happens then?
I don't think we thought this through because we're, and that would include me. I'm in a completely self-immolating activity. You know, the more people watch something like this podcast to figure out what's new in the world and to try to understand it, the less they're going to watch the things that I use as my source of what to talk about. So isn't the whole thing going to fall apart?
It probably won't. You know, there'll be adjustments, etc. But it makes me wonder. Well, you probably heard that Susan Rice, Obama's right-hand woman for years, was on this committee, this Defense DoD Advisory Committee, and we couldn't understand why that would even exist.
So she didn't have authority to make decisions, but it gave her access to all the Department of Defense, Pentagon people to push her opinions. And once we realized that that existed, which surprised me, I was who knew that even existed that advisory committee, but, uh, I guess PXF just, uh, got rid of that committee. So didn't just get rid of the people. He just got rid of the committee.
And that sounds right. That feels like the right decision. Well, let's check in on all the races, starting with Harvard. I saw a post on X from Aaron Siberian, your perfect example. I'm not looking at the original news. I'm looking at the X post about the original news.

Chapter 5: How does insider trading work for Congress?
So I guess their leader is David Johns, who his past was he worked for Obama's White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans. And he was talking at a recent event for this organization. Because they're pushing a boycott against Target because Target rolled back its DEI. So they want people to stop shopping there. Here are some of the things that this gentleman said.
He lashed out this week. Again, this is Chuck Ross, the Washington Free Beacon. He lashed out this week against what he called white mediocrity. and urged a, quote, woke army of black youth to wage war with whiteness. That doesn't sound good. So Procter & Gamble is funding that and some other big companies. Well, thanks a lot, Procter & Gamble. And then he endorsed a boycott against Target.
And he said Trump was a fascist trying to rob us of our wealth. What wealth? I'm not sure what wealth is gonna rob there. And then he urged black consumers to shop at black-owned businesses and to reclaim African way of being. Okay, good luck with that. But here's my favorite part. This is something that Johns actually said in public, quote, We don't need nothing from white people.
We don't need nothing from white people. They can't even make potato salad. Oh, that's too far. Oh, oh, now you've gone too far. Really? You're going to throw down on potato salad? Well, I think we should have a potato salad off. Let's see who can make better potato salad, black Americans or white Americans. Hispanic or Asian Americans, because I think this is where we should draw the line.
Oh, you can say white mediocrity if you like. You can say that you're forming an army of African-American young people to take back your wealth. Okay, that's just freedom of speech. But when you go after our potato salad, you bastards, you bastards, It's time to throw down. So I think we need to have a potato salad off and solve this once and for all.
I'm not so confident that white people will win, but it would be funny. It would be funny to have a potato salad off. Anyway. So as you know, Harvard is racist and this organization is super racist. But at least AI is not racist. Am I right? Thank goodness if you asked AI a question, you're not going to get some kind of racist response from AI. Oh, wait.
According to the rabbit hole account on X, who asked the following question, is affirmative action racist? Chat GPT said, no, affirmative action is not racist. And Grok said, oh yeah, it's totally racist. So I think I just decided which AI I'm going to use. I think I'm going to cancel my chat GPT right away because it's racist. And this is a pretty clear example.
If there's an AI that says that affirmative action is not racist... What else is it gonna tell me that's bullshit? Now, even the people who were in favor of affirmative action, and there was a time when I was in favor of it, when, you know, 40 years ago, I thought, well, it's bad for me, it's bad for white people. But maybe we need to level up a little bit. Not forever.
So it's the forever part that I object to completely at this point. It's like, come on. You had several decades. Maybe that's enough. But even if you're in favor of affirmative action, it's racist by definition. The entire point of it is to change the outcomes from one race to another. You can't get more racist than overtly saying race matters and we're going to change the outcomes of race.

Chapter 6: What are the latest developments in self-driving technology?
mentioned Al Gore and so he liked Dilbert and he invited me he invited me into his office one day because I happen to be in Washington and other business and he invited me in and asked me if I wanted to help him use the Dilbert comic to explain how well they were doing with their reinventing government now at the time
I was smart enough to say, oh, I can't do that because it will look like Dilbert's taking sides. And I was taking the Michael Jordan approach that Republicans buy shoes to. So I didn't want to I didn't want to get political with the comic. So I said no. But I also advised him against using humor. because it makes it look non-serious.
I usually advise corporations not to use too much humor, unless it's like a TV commercial, that can work. But I wouldn't do it as part of your normal communication. If you're trying to communicate something serious, just this wrong vibe. But I did hook them up with the best expert I knew on how to simplify and have good communication, which they used.
So I was a helpful member of the effort to at least communicate what they did. That was my only part. And I just hooked them up with somebody who was good at it. So that was my little brush with that in those days. And I was fully in favor of it, by the way. I thought it was a good effort, and probably I think he should be proud of it. I think that he got some good stuff done.
Well, Bill Maher, also talking to Gore, said, quote, the issue to me that is a central issue of our time is the peaceful transfer of power. Now, I've heard him say that before, and I've heard a lot of other people say, yeah, maybe Trump is doing some things that you like. Yeah, maybe he's got that 80-20 thing. Yeah, he closed the border, blah, blah, blah.
But the real thing, the thing which makes him completely unacceptable as a president is that he was not in favor of the peaceful transfer of power. Now, Of course, that's a narrative. The narrative that I understand is that there was a peaceful transfer of power and that there was really no chance that a bunch of people wandering through the Capitol could actually change the transfer of power.
So to me, it's just fake news. There was violence. There was maybe an effort to delay, but it was so small. you know, relative to what it would take to overcome a country, you know, change the government and don't have a peaceful transfer of power. It was such a small, even though there was violence, you know, the total scale of it was so small that it was a peaceful transfer of power.
But separate from that, I propose that we find out if 2020 was rigged or not. And I've got a method to do that. Wouldn't you like to know? Well, you've probably all seen the graph of how many Democrats voted in all our recent presidential elections. And you might be aware that it was always somewhere in the same level, except for one election. There was one election where it was way on the line.
It was just way higher than normal. And then you say to yourself, but that's because Trump was running. When Trump's running, those Democrats are really going to come out. Except they didn't come out in 2024. So how do you explain that it was Trump who is now the worst Trump ever, according to the Democrats, because he had, according to them,

Chapter 7: How is Harvard Law Review prioritizing diversity?
the United States be in charge of some pipeline from Russia that goes through Ukraine, and it might be more than one pipeline, that goes from Russia through Ukraine to Europe. And that part of the deal would be that would get turned on, and that Europe could decide if they wanted to buy Russian gas at market values or not. Now, if that's true, now we're talking.
Now, that is a good variable to throw in there because Russia would not trust Ukraine. Ukraine would not trust Russia. Europe would not trust Russia to not turn off the gas. So if Europe has options so they could buy more from the U.S., they've probably looked into other sources, etc., but they also have the option
of a, let's say, a reformed Russia that's no longer at war that would sell it to them at market rates. Maybe they'd like that. But imagine having America in charge of the pipeline itself because Ukraine couldn't protect it. And if we're protecting that pipeline, we're giving Putin a fairly large incentive to just do business, because then he gets a business benefit out of Ukraine.
He's dealing with the US that he probably feels he can negotiate better with because we're more about business. And that might be a way to close the deal. There might be more to it, but I've been negative on the deal because I said that neither Ukraine or Russia seems serious enough about peace.
But this new variable where we're doing some mining in Ukraine, but on top of that, we might be managing the flow of energy from Russia. That might be enough. That might be enough. So I'm going to cautiously upgrade the odds of a peace deal from no fucking way, which is where I was a week ago, to, huh. So that's my new opinion. Huh. Maybe. Could be.
Anyway, here's another one where I'd be a little surprised, but apparently Iran is acting like they want a deal in which they would not make nuclear weapons, but the details of that we don't have an agreement on. But Trump has kind of goosed the situation by saying that the U.S. would lead an attack against Iran, quote, very willingly if talks fail. Breitbart's reporting that.
Now, that's probably the kind of pressure that's helpful because you want Iran to think, we better hurry up and we better make a deal because we don't want to get attacked. Because they must be very aware that the only reason that Israel hasn't attacked them yet is that Trump is holding them off. Probably the only reason.
So if Trump says, yeah, if you don't make a deal, we're very willing not only to let it happen, but to help the attack, I think that could help the negotiations. But here's an idea of what the Wall Street Journal describes as a possible deal. And not there yet, but it looks like it might be doable. And again, I said last week it didn't look doable. But here's some new variables introduced.
So I guess the conversations are happening in Oman, where the U.S. and Iranian negotiators are trying to knock it out. And one of the key things is that Iran wants to be able to, wants to be able to, what is it, refine? What's the word they use there? They want to be able to, I want to use the right words, enrich their own uranium for domestic use. Now, if you enrich uranium up to a medium level,
