What is the highlight of human civilization according to Scott Adams?

Scott Adams 0:00
Good morning, everybody. Let's see if we can get this show rolling. I'll get this. I got it. There we go. There we go. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams, and you 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 tankard of chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jugger, a flask, a vessel of any kind. I'm slurring my voice, am I not? Yeah, there's definitely something wrong with my mouth. But anyway, join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of the dope meeting of the day. It makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip and it happens now. Let's go. All right, well, apparently in Austin, there are already driverless Teslas. So if you walk around in Austin, you're going to see these driverless cars go by.
Scott Adams 1:48
Not only are there driverless cars now, which is really good if you don't like people, but MIT has developed a ping pong playing robot which is better than all the other ping pong playing robots, I guess, because we've done this before. But I'm trying to think of a future life where I get an Uber, but there's no Uber driver, so I don't have to worry about a person. And then I take it to my local ping pong emporium, and I play with a robot. and then I take my self-driving auto cab home, I can avoid people completely. That's a good world. Well, as you know, the New York Times Did a big piece alleging that Elon Musk is taking all kinds of drugs. They say it was on ketamine and ecstasy and mushrooms. Elon Musk says, nope. He's not on any drugs at all.
Scott Adams 2:59
It's fake news. And he was randomly tested for three years after he had one puff of weed on the Joe Rogan show. So, nope. He's telling us quite clearly that he is not on any kinds of drugs. And I think they do keep testing him because of SpaceX. He did say he tried... Prescription ketamine a few years ago, but that wasn't illegal. Here is something exciting in interesting engineering.

What new technology is Scott Adams excited about?

Scott Adams 3:41
I keep telling you that the most exciting technology would be holes. You know, like the boring company can make a tunnel, big hole. But if you could go straight down and you could go far enough, you could get into all that geothermal. And apparently there's a new technology that looks like it can do that. And it's a company called Quaze Energy. And what do they do? They have a novel drilling method. They use a gyrotron, which is how I'd do it. It's a device that generates a powerful high frequency millimeter wave. And these waves are so intense that they can literally vaporize rock, functioning like a microwave on steroids that bore deep into the earth. Well, if that works, the energy situation on Earth is really going to change.
Scott Adams 4:52
Because presumably, if they can make one drill that can do that, they can make lots of drills that can do that. So imagine having unlimited free energy. Free meaning it might cost you $20 to $40 million to drill the hole. But once you did, it would be free energy for just about ever. Well, Paris is probably on fire still because the French soccer team won a big victory. What team is it? The Paris Saint-Germain PSG. I watched that match. Oh my goodness, that was fun. That was such a good match. It was 4-0 or 5-0, but it was incredible. And what do you do when your team wins? Well, apparently if you've got a big immigrant population and people have nothing else to do, they burn their own city. So don't go to Paris when Paris is winning.

JPMorgan Chase's CEO, Jamie Dimon, he was at the Reagan National Economic Forum. And when somebody asked him about stockpiling Bitcoin, he said, we shouldn't be stockpiling Bitcoin. The US government should be stockpiling guns, ammunition, and drones. Does Jamie Dimon know something we don't know? Well, he does know that if we ever got into a real missile fight with a major enemy, we would be out of missiles in about, what, a week? So he does know that our military-industrial complex has not been doing the job, or maybe we gave too much of it to Ukraine or something. But we don't really have enough stuff to have a proper war. Part of me thinks that's good news.
