Scott Adams 0:00
The view is don't check your stocks, if you have any. Not today. Nope. Don't look at them today. Instead, just watch this great podcast. 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, well, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass of tanker gel, 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 at the end of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it's going to happen right now. Go. Ah, extraordinary. So good. Well, I don't know if you caught it last night, but last night was the Met Gala. The Met Gala. Would you like to hear everything that you missed at the Met Gala?

What did Scott Adams think of the latest Met Gala?

Scott Adams 1:28
Here's everything you missed. A bunch of weirdos wearing unusual clothing. That's about it. Weirdos with unusual clothing. I guess Caballera showed up because she was happy to be a weirdo with unusual clothing. Good for her. Well, according to Nature, the publication Nature, people who don't need much sleep, it's probably because of a genetic difference. Now, I think they could just ask me, what else would it be? What possible other reason would it be if some people don't need as much sleep as other people? It's got to be a genetic difference, right? I'm not sure they needed to do that research. Next time, just ask me. I'll tell you. Nope, don't need to do it. Well, this is kind of fun.

How can vagus nerve stimulation help PTSD?

Scott Adams 2:33
So PTSD patients were being studied at the University of Texas at Dallas, and they did a test where they gave them therapy to stimulate their vagus nerve. Now, if I were smarter, I'd tell you where your vagus nerve is. It's somewhere in your body. But I know if you stimulate it just right, it makes you feel relaxed. But here's the amazing thing. That it seems to have cured, in a fairly lasting way, 100% of the people with PTSD that they studied. And it lasted for months. I guess you would have to redo it after a while. But this is more to my point that your body is your brain. If you think, hey, what do I do about my PTSD? Normally you would think, well, there's some kind of mental thing that has to be done. But not necessarily.
Scott Adams 3:37
Because you can stimulate the vagus nerve, apparently. And that will change how you think about things. And your PTSD... will allegedly go away 100 loss of diagnosis that's pretty it's pretty amazing that doesn't surprise me a bit actually it was smart for them to even try that that test according to the daily mail uh there was a survey and they found that women are more attracted to bald men I believe this survey was done by the National Association of Bald Men Who Can't Get Dates. But they know that I made that part up. But I'm not sure I believe this. 2,000 women were asked to rank the things that they wanted, the other things that attracted them most. A muscular physique was found to be number one. That's what women wanted. A bald head was second and blue eyes were third.

What are the latest developments in OpenAI?

Scott Adams 4:45
Well, but if you went on a dating profile, there would be zero people asking for bald heads. They would ask you for height. It's height every time. So, no, this is ridiculous. So even though the National Association of Bald White Guys because they got blue eyes as third. So I'm either the sexiest person I know, or this science is not too dependable. Would you like to hear the least surprising news? Least surprising news. Let's see if I can accomplish this. The least surprising news is that former First Lady Michelle Obama... revealed on her podcast that she's in therapy. If you saw her podcast, would you have any question whether she was in therapy? She looks like the most I'm in therapy person you've ever met in your life.
Scott Adams 5:55
But she says she's just doing it to tune up for the next phase of her life, which totally does not involve divorce. So she wants you to know, divorce... There's a rumor. But she's going to tune up with her therapist. Well, OpenAI, as you know, you know the story between OpenAI, ChatGPT. But OpenAI was originally funded heavily by Elon Musk, who believed he was funding a nonprofit.
