Scott Adams 0:00
Docs. Holy cow, stocks are up. Look at that. Wow. All right, so that's the good news. Let's open our comments and get you the show that you deserve. Damn it, you deserve it. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. 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 or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen, a jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the best part of your day, the simultaneous sip, and it's happening now. Go. So good. All right. Well, let's see if there's any science about coffee. Oh, yes, there is. Some new research, according to Sidepost and Eric Dolan, shows that decaf coffee can, it can, not always, but it can mimic caffeine's effect in habitual drinkers. In other words, if you have decaf,

your body might register it a lot like caffeinated coffee. Now, do you know who knew that before the science? Pavlov. That's basically Pavlov's dog, right? So Pavlov, I was training his dog, dogs, and I would give them a treat after he rang the bell, and then eventually he could just ring the bell and they would salivate. Well, that's what this is. That's what decaf is.

How can decaf coffee affect your body?

Scott Adams 2:28
Decaf is just ringing the bell without the actual caffeine as the payoff. I'm pretty sure any hypnotist would have known. that not every time and not for every person, then it's not going to fix your caffeine headache if you haven't had real caffeine. But then every once in a while, you can have decaf, and it gives you the same little kick. as if you had the real thing and even if you know it doesn't make any difference if you know that you're getting decaf I have used this trick on myself many times where I would give myself decaf because I had too much caffeinated stuff that day and sure enough I would feel as though I was getting a little boost so there's a little trick for you according to the Washington Times

What are the latest updates on Fort Knox gold?

Scott Adams 3:26
Trump is no longer interested, or at least he's not exhibiting interest, in going to Fort Knox to find out if the gold is still there. Do you remember when Elon Musk and Trump were both saying, hmm, maybe we should check to see if that gold is still in Fort Knox? Well, that interest seems to have waned because nobody cares about it anymore. And the reason given is that apparently it gets audited on some kind of a regular basis. So they do know that the gold is there. To which I say, hmm, hmm, that's one possibility. One possibility is that they know for sure the gold is there. What's the other possibility? that they know for sure the gold is not there. So if you want to keep your suspicions alive, go ahead.
Scott Adams 4:28
Keep your suspicions alive. Although probably it's all there. Well, over in China, they've developed a giant salmon farming ship. so that they can raise salmon inside the ship, basically like a fish farm. And it's better than using a regular fish farm, which would be in one place, and maybe a typhoon would get it. Or there's some other kind of problem that can destroy your fish.

What is the significance of salmon farming in China?

Scott Adams 5:03
But if you put it in a big old ship, I guess you have access to all the water you need. And you can bake yourself some salmon. So I like that idea. Salmon farm in a ship. Some say it's going to be crappy salmon because they would feed it substandard food, but they don't have to. I mean, you know, the possibility is they can feed it good food and then your salmon would be fine. But we'll see if that becomes a thing. According to the University of Cologne, which I can smell from here, parents, this will surprise absolutely nobody. Can you believe it? Parents are not happier, but have a greater sense of meaning in life, according to a study. Now, how many of you didn't know that?

Are parents really happier than non-parents?

Scott Adams 6:04
If you've ever seen any parent trying to get their kids to school or get them to do their homework or get them to do anything, they don't look like they're super happy. But if you were to ask them, are you glad you had kids? Well, nearly 100% would say, yeah, it's the best thing I've ever done. You should do it too. So yes, having children is not about having a bunch of laughs.
