What is the highlight of human civilization?
If you're here and I'm here, we should do something about it. Stocks are up a little bit. You will enjoy looking at your stock portfolio if you have one. And as soon as I get my comments going, we're going to have quite the show. Oh yeah, it'll be epic. 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 your experience up to levels that nobody can understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass or a tank or a chalice or a slide, 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 of the dopamine at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and darn it, it's going to happen right now. Go. Go. So good. So, so good. So I wonder if there are any scientific studies that they didn't need to do because they could have just asked me. Well, oh, here's one.
New York Post is reporting that A study was done on magic mushrooms, USF did a study, and they found that a single dose of psilocybin, that's the magic mushrooms, one dose can help Parkinson's patients with dramatic improved mood, motor function, and memory. And it even lasts even after one dose. Now, I wouldn't have known specifically that this would work for Parkinson's, but when was the last time you ever saw a study in which psychedelics were involved and the result was it didn't work? For whatever it was. They could test it for depression. Yep, it works. They could test it for a variety of mental problems. Yep, it works. They can test it for really anything that's happening in your brain or your body. If you have a... What would you call it? Not a drug, exactly. But if you have something you can take that works every single time you test it, it doesn't even matter what you're testing it on, and there's basically no downside whatsoever...
I would have guessed accurately that it would have been good for Parkinson's patients. Without any knowledge whatsoever, I would have just said, well, does it work for everything else you test it for? All right, probably it'll work for the next thing too. All right, here's one. This one's so dumb, it's just funny. There's a Norwegian University of Science and Technology And they found out that the children who have increased physical activity have a lower risk of developing symptoms of depression. How many times are they going to do that study? Well, let's do it in Norway. All right, let's study 13 to 15-year-olds. Okay, how about 15 to 17-year-olds? It's all the same. Physical activity is good for your brain, just like psilocybin.
How can psychedelics help with mental health?
You could have just asked Scott. All right, here's one. I would have gotten this one right, too. It turns out that you, if you compare, and the University of Basque Country did this, I don't know who they are, but they did a study and they found that children who learn to write, you know, actually physically write with their hand, they develop better reading and writing, well, better reading skills, I guess. Now, would you have known that? I would have known that because how many times have I taught you that your entire body is your brain? When I studied for tests back when I was a student, one of my tricks was to get as many of my senses involved. So if I were trying to memorize something, I would definitely write it down. And then I would draw a picture of it. And then I would hum it and then maybe I would chant it.
Like I'd say, you know, and the West was settled in the year, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And if I could have smelled it or heard it or gotten any other senses involved, I would have done it. Now you can't really smell history or math, but the idea is the more parts of your body that get involved, the more learning. because your entire body is part of your memory system. It is. If you can get something into your head through all five of your senses, it'll stay there. If you get it into your head through one of your senses, let's say just reading it on a page, it might stay there, but it's not going to be nearly as sticky. So the more your body that gets involved, You could dance it. You could sing it. You can chant it. You can write it down.
