What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?
All the lazy podcasters are sleeping in today, but not me, and not you either. So let's get our comments working here, and then we'll have some fun. Do-do-do-do-do-do. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. 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 try to take your experience up to levels that nobody can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need is a cup of mug or a glass of tank of Chelsea 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 of the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip, and it happens now. Go. That was sip-tastic. Well, it's Sunday, and usually this happens on Saturday, but today... Owen Gregorian will be hosting a Spaces right after the show. Spaces is the audio service that's on the X platform.
What is the simultaneous sip and why is it significant?
So if you want to listen to that, go to X, look for Owen Gregorian, or you can see the link in my feed. Well, I wonder if there's any science that I didn't need to do because they could have just asked me. Oh, here's some. Eric Nolan writing in SciPost, he's my favorite. Did you know that people who inhaled DMT, they got rapid and lasting antidepressant effects? Do you know how I knew that that was going to be true? Because every single time they try a hallucinogen, it doesn't matter which one, and they test it on depressed people, every single time it works. And not only does it work, it has lasting benefits. Maybe not lifetime, but lasting. So maybe they didn't need to test this.
What does Scott Adams think about DMT and depression?
Maybe they could have just asked me, hey, what do you think would happen if we give this depressed guy some DMT? I'd be like, well, I think he'll get happier. That's what I think. You probably saw some of the news that a Mexican naval vessel crashed into the Brooklyn Bridge Saturday night. Now, the surprising part about this story is Mexico has a navy. How many of you knew that Mexico even had a navy? Do they? Well, I guess they do. This particular ship was a tall ship. So a sail ship with very tall sails. And I guess those sails were too tall. But I think there was some kind of engine problem or something that caused them to smash into the bridge. I saw that there were casualties, but then I saw some other reports.
So I'm not sure exactly how many casualties, but they do have. I think most likely they do. So that was bad. In a related story, Red State Ward Clark is writing that the Mexican cartels are now dealing in the illicit fish trade. So they're becoming fishermen and they're squeezing out the non-cartel people and elbowing their way in. And they're in the fish business. Now, this raises some questions. Why is it that they're in the fish business? Is it because selling fish is as profitable as cocaine? I don't think so. I don't think the margins are nearly as good. Is it because they have so many recruits? who want to join the cartel, that they don't have enough cocaine to keep them all busy. It's like, all right, all right.
Only the people with seniority get to do the cocaine. We're going to have to put you on something, sort of an entry-level thing. All right, okay, excellent. I got my tattoos. I'm ready to go. What kind of exciting criminal activity will I be involved in? Well, Juan, we're going to put you in fish. Excuse me? Fish. You'll be in fish. I didn't join the cartel to be in fish. I know, but got to start somewhere. If you do a good job in fish, we'll move you to, I don't know what, stealing cars. But eventually, you can work your way up to the cocaine businessman. But seriously, doesn't it seem to you that this is driven by too many people in the cartel? Like would they really enter the fish business unless they had more people than they had jobs for the people?
watching the cartels diversify, it's telling us something, but I don't know exactly what it is. Now, I guess you could say that the cartels are just taking over every business in Mexico, and fish are just one of them. I suppose that's true. Well, there's a company I've told you about before, and I even wrote about it in one of my books, called Climeworks.
