And good news, if you own stocks, stocks are up. And that means we should do a show. I probably would have done the show anyway, but, you know. All right, get my comments working here. They're working like crazy right there. Boom, 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 a chance on taking it up to the next level All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a 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 of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. Oh. I shudder with the goodness of it all. All right, well, as you know, Elon Musk is out of the government, at least in terms of Doge. He's going to be full-time back at his businesses. It's official now. I don't think he quit.

How is Elon Musk influencing the automotive industry?

I think that was just the normal time he was planning to leave. But this is exciting. Apparently, next month, if you order a Tesla... And I don't know if it's every model or just the Model Y. It will drive to your house. So you won't have to go pick up your car. Your car will just, with no driver, will just drive to your house. And then you have your car. That's about the coolest thing I've ever seen in a product. Tesla stock is up. And it looks like next month, Austin will have the driverless Teslas driving around. So that's going to be a big deal. All right, here's a story that you're free to disbelieve. It's a little bit too good to believe. A little bit too good. So there's a startup, according to Interesting Engineering,

that makes a refrigerator-sized machine that can make gasoline out of thin air. Now, it's not out of just air. It apparently, allegedly, it takes CO2 out of the air and turns it directly into gas you can use in your car with no modifications required. And it can operate on renewable electricity. So if you had a solar panel and one of these refrigerator-sized machines, you could make yourself some gasoline right out of the air. How many of you believe that that works? And if it does work, may I add to your concern? Because you're going to say, oh, no, it's going to ruin all vegetation on Earth. Oh. Okay, I have to admit, my back is absolutely killing me today. So I'm going to be in a non-standard podcasting position. Oh, that's so much better. So you might not be able to see me or hear me, but I'll be here. Oh, my God. That's much better. I think I slept on it wrong. Well, RFK Jr. is threatening to ban scientists, government scientists, from publishing in top journals.

What are RFK Jr.'s views on scientific publishing?

Scott Adams 4:20
Do you know why he doesn't want scientists, at least government scientists, to publish in The Lancet and some of these other top journals like the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA, it's because they're corrupt. So he says, quote, we're probably going to stop publishing in The Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, JAMA, and those other journals because they're all corrupt, meaning that they've got too much big pharma influence. Now, can you even hold that in your head? that the RFK Jr. is the US Health Secretary, and he's just said that the major scientific journals in his field are so corrupt that he's not even gonna let people submit papers to them. Holy cow. I don't think there's another person in the world who would have said this or done this, but I think he's right. I think he's right.

Meanwhile, according to Fox News, the president of Harvard, he was giving an address and he admitted that they're not doing enough to have conservatives on campus and they don't have enough voices that are diverse. And he said that some faculty members had to think twice before teaching controversial subjects. And he says the lack of conservatives on the Ivy League campuses is because something about expressing unpopular views. And now he thinks they need more conservative voices. Now, is that what you think? Here's the problem. His name is Garber, Alan Garber. So he said, the administration and others have said conservatives are too few on campus and their views are not welcome.
