What is the highlight of today's podcast?
So, it's a good day in the stock market. I hope you have some. Well, let me get ready for the show. Looking at your comments. Looking good. There must be a lot of good news today. What do you think? 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 a chance, I'm making this experience even better than you could ever even imagine with your tiny, shiny brain. All you need is a cup or mug or a glass, a tank or chalice, a sign, a canteen jug, a flask, a vessel. What kind? Any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. That's good stuff. Well, let's start with the ridiculous and get to the sublime. From the ridiculous to the sublime. According to News Nation, UFO hit a U.S. fighter jet.
What did Scott Adams say about UFO sightings?
Pilots flying over Arizona said they saw swarms, swarms I say, of weird flying objects, and one of them was smashed into a F-16. I guess the pilot's okay. But the FAA confirmed it, and former Pentagon UFO guy says Arizona's been buzzing with sightings near the border. But some people say it's just the cartel's drones. I'm going to go with cartel drones. That would be my guess. I do not think the aliens are at the border. Why would the aliens even be there, of all places, for them to be? Well, according to Eric Dolan in SciPost, Did you know that left-wing authoritarians are less likely to support physically strong men as their leaders? So if you're a left-wing person, you don't like leaders that are physically strong.
But if you're a right-wing person, you like them strong. How many people are surprised by that? Not. You know, I really think that politics is just a difference in testosterone sometimes. At least the male version of politics. I can't judge for women, but for men, it's kind of testosterone. The Republicans are high testosterone. The Democrats are low testosterone.
What is the relationship between politics and testosterone?
And everything else is just rationalization. That's what I think. Well, did you know that the weight loss drugs liraglutide and somaglutide make a huge difference in reducing your alcohol consumption without any extra effort. So the patients say it doesn't take any effort, they just don't want as much alcohol. So that's good. This is more evidence that willpower is fake and imaginary. That's the hypnotist frame. If you're an hypnotist, you learn that people make decisions based on whatever hormonal soup is bubbling up in their bodies. And then after they made the decision, they layered over it with a rationalization. Oh, yeah, the reason I did that was this. But it's really just chemical reaction.
So once you learn that willpower is fake and that just some people like things more than others, how hard is it for me to avoid alcohol? It's easy because I didn't like it that much. How hard is it, or was it, when I was more active, how hard was it for me to exercise every day? Not hard at all, because I liked it. If I didn't like it, it probably would have been nearly impossible.
How are weight loss drugs affecting alcohol consumption?
So no, willpower doesn't exist. There's just stuff you like and stuff you don't like, and that's usually just chemical and cause and effect and the structure of your brain, and it has nothing to do with anything else. Here's some good news. And wow, I was worried about this for a while. But it turns out that the new Pope, Pope Leo, he's calling for peace in Gaza and Ukraine. Yes. I was so worried that the Pope would be pro-war. But no. Turns out we got lucky again. It's like, I don't know how many Popes in a row, but our luck is really holding. They all seem to be anti-war. And every time they announce it, I say to myself, boy, that could have gone either way. But it turns out that the Pope has a brother. Have you all checked out the news about the Pope's brother?
This is the problem with having an American Pope. He's got an American brother. And the American brother is super mega. And I guess he's so MAGA, the Gateway Pundits reporting, that he not too long ago shared on X, I guess he shared a video calling Nancy Pelosi a drunk C-word. So a drunken C-word. And he mocks the, quote, crying libs with Trump derangement syndrome.
