What is Coffee with Scott Adams?

Cause they're up. Yay. Yay. Let me get your comments working here. And then we got a show to do. Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. 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, a mug, or a glass, a tank, or shells, 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 dinner of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go. So good. I might have to do that again later. It was that good. Well, let's check in with science, see what science can tell us.

According to the Pennington Biomedical Research Center, the average rate of obesity among Americans has risen by approximately 30% over 20 years. Now, how many of you have not noticed? Have you noticed that the rate of obesity is sort of through the roof? There's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that it's never been easier to be in the top 10% of attractive people. It used to be when I was a kid, if you were born attractive, well, you had all the advantages. Given that, in theory, everybody can lose weight and everybody can fix their teeth if they have enough money and everybody can get a good haircut and maybe do something about your skin and wear better clothes, it has never been easier to be in the top 10%.

And if you're in the top 10% of attractive people, things will probably go pretty well for you. So it's good news and bad news. Well, apparently the Wall Street Journal had a big old fake news story. They were saying that Tesla was looking for a new CEO to replace Musk, but they failed to run Tesla's denial. So I guess they asked Tesla, and Tesla said, absolutely not. That is not happening. Nobody's looking for a new CEO. We already have a CEO. It's Musk. And they didn't run the denial. It's one thing to be wrong, but being wrong when the only really reliable source of information tells you that you're absolutely 100% wrong. That's pretty bad. And Elon Musk wasn't too happy about that. I guess you wouldn't be too happy either if the news ran such a fake report about you.

Here's some news about Tim Walz, who I call the pointy-haired boss. You know, if I ever do a Dilbert movie and I'm looking for live actors to play the Dilbert characters, the pointy-haired boss would have to be Tim Walz. Just imagine him, and then imagine the pointy-haired boss. It's the same guy, isn't it? There's no difference. He's just the pointy-haired boss. So his latest Tim Walsh-ism is he was explaining to an audience why he was selected as the VP candidate. And he said, quote, I could code talk to the white guys watching football fixing their truck. I was the permission structure to say, look, you can do this and vote for this. That is the least male thing anybody ever said. I could code talk to white guys.

Even the way he says it, he doesn't even say it like he is one of the guys. He says it like he's a robot who would learn the lingo of men. It's like, oh, I can code talk just like a guy. I'm not a guy. I'm not a real man. but I can talk like one, so I was a good choice. I was the permission structure to say, the permission structure, who talks like that? But the funny thing about that is that even today, they still think that identity politics is the way to go because even though he was trying to act like a white guy, because they thought they needed to get more support from white guys. That's still just identity politics. It's just a weird one. So they just can't get out of that little trap they've set for themselves that everything is identity politics. Anyway, they'll never escape that. According to Mark Zuckerberg, Meta is going to try to make you an AI friend. So I guess if you have meta, you'll be able to use their AI to create some friends. So finally, finally my audience could have some friends. It's not just me.
