Chapter 1: What is the significance of the stock market today?

0.309 - 54.232 Scott Adams

Take a look at the stock market. And the S&P 500 is basically flat. Tesla is up 1.24. Rumble up 0.34. Flat. Let's call that flat. All right, we have a show to do. which is mostly me. Your responsibility is kind of easy. You're expected to do nothing except simultaneously sip. Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of Human civilization.

54.252 - 85.871 Scott Adams

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 making this experience even better, all you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a shell, 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 at the end of the day.

0

85.891 - 114.296 Scott Adams

The thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. And it happens now. Go. Yep. Yeah, that was it. That made everything better. Well, I wonder if there's any science that would support the idea that coffee makes you healthier. Oh, yeah.

0

Chapter 2: How does coffee contribute to longevity?

114.876 - 153.765 Scott Adams

According to CNN, there's a new study that says you can reach an older age if women especially who drank one to three cups of caffeinated coffee per day in their 50s were more likely to reach an older age. So, got that? If you drink your coffee, ladies, you'll live to an older age. Now, in a related, well, I'll make it a related story. According to Science Mag,

0

156.88 - 169.066 Scott Adams

Repetitive negative thinking is linked to cognitive decline. So if you have bad thoughts and you just keep having bad thoughts,

0

170.177 - 197.333 Scott Adams

your brain will corrode so put it all together every morning you should get up before anybody's up after your cup of coffee and then think positive thoughts and your brain will be healthy and you'll live forever yep that's for the ladies sip your coffee have positive thoughts until you know

0

198.564 - 242.697 Scott Adams

that having consistent negative thoughts is also implicated in other major mental health diseases, such as, what's the other stuff? I think anxiety and depression. So if you ever said to yourself, I think there's an upside, having continuous negative thoughts, turns out there's no upside. You should do whatever it takes to have continuous positive thoughts. Now, can you do that?

0

243.897 - 274.692 Scott Adams

Well, I feel like you could. Even though there are some people who have legitimate mental problems that would cause them to have repetitive negative thoughts, doesn't it make sense that you could force yourself even for 10 seconds to think something positive? And if you could do it for 10 seconds, do you think you could do it for 20 seconds? Like if you just started small,

276.405 - 310.987 Scott Adams

I feel like most people, if they really worked at it, could at least increase the percentage of the day they're having a positive thought. Seems to be. Well, some of you asked me to solve the mating problem, the demographic collapse. And so I thought to myself, hmm, that seems impossible. So I'm going to take a swing at it, okay? So it starts with a story.

311.007 - 340.579 Scott Adams

So Nate Silver, in his latest blog post, apparently he was saying that conservatives are up 31 points among those with self-described excellent mental health. Now, we've talked about this before. It turns out that the people who are on the left tend to have terrible mental health compared to the people on the right.

341.74 - 377.748 Scott Adams

Now, I'm going to tell you why, and you're going to say, oh, that actually makes total sense. Here's why. And this is totally my own hypothesis. But once you hear it, you're going to say to yourself, huh, that explains a lot. It goes like this. You can only be happy when you're connected to the most important part of life. What is the most important part of life?

378.448 - 403.931 Scott Adams

Well, if you believe in science and evolution and biology... The most important part of life is making more life. Now you might say to yourself, what about my search for meaning and all that? Well, that's great. But the single most important thing that any animal can do is to make more of itself.

Chapter 3: What is the link between mental health and political preference?

834.676 - 864.653 Scott Adams

So all they did was they took a dead battery. Now dead is not dead dead. Dead is like when it reaches 80% capacity, I think. If it goes down from 100 to 80%, that's considered unusable. And they found they could squirt some of this chemicals in there and it would revitalize it. And suddenly it would be like exactly as good as a new battery. Now, there's some problems.

0

864.713 - 888.606 Scott Adams

There's safety testing, and you'd have to redesign the batteries so there's a way to inject something. So that would be kind of a big deal. And it might result in fewer sales of new cars, because if you could keep your battery running forever, well, Why would you need to upgrade? Because the software would be upgrading on its own.

0

889.986 - 916.995 Scott Adams

So anyway, so I don't know if that has any place in the market, but that's pretty impressive. I also didn't know that current batteries are supposed to last 15 years. Does that sound right? If you got a Tesla, the battery that comes with it would last 15 years? That would be impressive. Maybe it does.

0

919.542 - 944.474 Scott Adams

well i usually don't talk about the uh individual crimes and even if they're mass shootings and stuff but uh this illegal alien muslim terrorist guy from egypt to quote uh jim hoft the gateway pundit so as most of you know if you watch the news um he uh he used what did he use

0

946.435 - 974.574 Scott Adams

Molotov cocktails and alcohol, set them on fire and threw them at a group of American Jews who were together, I don't know if you'd say protesting or rallying. And I think they were rallying in favor of the, in support of the hostages or something. But this guy shows up. He's not even a legal citizen.

976.075 - 996.679 Scott Adams

And he firebombs a group of Jewish people who were just trying to support essentially people who were hostages. That's my understanding of it. And I was trying to think... Are Jews the only group in America who are attacked when they're grouping together?

996.699 - 1033.037 Scott Adams

Because I remember the 2018 Tree of Life synagogue attack, and I was thinking to myself, is there any other situation where a group of Americans that are in some demographic, if they group together, they're likely to be victims? In other words, I've never heard of the pride parade being attacked, and I hope it isn't. I've never heard of, I don't know, a woman's group being firebombed.

1035.04 - 1062.212 Scott Adams

So you can certainly see how the question of anti-Semitism in the United States is at the top of the list of, uh-oh, we better do something about this. And one of the things you can do about it would be not to let in Egyptian terrorists, if that's what it is. That would help. That would be a good start.

Chapter 4: How can we address the demographic collapse?

1063.212 - 1089.758 Scott Adams

Have you noticed how there was a period when Trump first became president where we couldn't stop talking about the price of gas and the price of eggs? Well, it turns out the price of eggs is doing great. So it's according to Newsmax, a dozen eggs is under $3 in most places. And the average cost is down to $2.52.

0

1090.838 - 1123.692 Scott Adams

So according to the White House Rapid Response Team, that means the price of eggs has dropped 61% since Trump took office. But the best thing about that is it made Democrats just shut up about the one thing they understood. If you thought about it, the one thing the Democrats had on their side was that Trump had overpromised stuff like he would do things on day one.

0

1124.773 - 1148.672 Scott Adams

Well, day one doesn't really mean day one. It just means as fast as possible, we'll get right on it. And I would say, you know, if you're only halfway into the first year, it looks like you got right on it. So your egg prices went down and gas prices are down.

0

1149.773 - 1188.826 Scott Adams

And maybe gas prices will go down some more because Trump just opened with another executive order 23 million acres of Alaskan wilderness to drilling. So Doug Burgum is driving that. And that reverses a Biden-era drilling ban. I wonder if companies feel safe going into business drilling up there if the possibility of a Democrat getting elected could put them out of business. Is that a thing?

0

1189.407 - 1224.768 Scott Adams

Or would even a Democrat say, all right, if you've already drilled, that's allowed, but no new drilling? I don't know. Would the Democrats use common sense? Hard to know. But, of course, some people are worried about the habitats for grizzly bears and polar bears and caribou. And migratory birds. And they don't want to lose the caribou. I mean, what would you do without caribou?

1226.589 - 1259.501 Scott Adams

If there's one thing I need when I want to drive my car to a distant location, more caribou. I'll be like, oh man, I only made it one mile. Why? Well, I only had access to one caribou. So, ladies and gentlemen, it's sort of a tie. On one hand, you get a bunch of oil that, you know, drives civilization. Boring. On the other hand, you lose some caribou, possibly.

1260.396 - 1283.983 Scott Adams

That's why the world works with ServiceNow. More at servicenow.de slash AI for people.

1293.202 - 1321.038 Scott Adams

Now, one of the things I wonder when I read a story like that is how much oil is up there? Because doesn't it sort of also matter how much? Because, you know, I'm in favor of opening it for drilling, but in the back of my mind, I'm assuming that it has a tremendous amount of known reserves. Because I would kill a few caribou forever.

Chapter 5: What does Elon Musk's Neuralink mean for AI's future?

1782.233 - 1814.109 Scott Adams

Anyway, according to the Gateway Pundit, Christina Layla, so you may have heard this story, but this one's a really spicy one. So the FBI... And Mueller's team, you remember Mueller, apparently they hid Russiagate documents using a special coding system that you can use to make things invisible to people who are searching for them.

0

1817.432 - 1846.543 Scott Adams

Imagine, so at this point I think, you know, Bongino and Kash Patel have identified the code that was used to hide all the good stuff. Now, why do you think, and this is regarding the Russiagate collusion, I feel like this is going to be the thing that tells you what all the people did. all the bad people.

0

1847.404 - 1866.709 Scott Adams

So right now we sort of have this general idea that the FBI was presented with this idea that maybe Trump had some Russia connection. But we all know that it was organized via the Hillary Clinton campaign.

0

1868.309 - 1895.701 Scott Adams

But I feel like the reason nobody's going to jail for it is there's not quite the paper trail you would need to prove who did what and when and what they were thinking and what their intentions were and all that stuff. And it could be that this new discovery that there's a secret code where all the good stuff was hidden, we might find out just how bad this was.

1897.499 - 1929.506 Scott Adams

My only concern is that there's so many things that happen in the news, especially in the Trump world, that the energy has already been taken out of the topic. And the people on the left and the mainstream media will just say, ah, that was a long time ago. And they'll just act like it's not a big deal. And then the political right will be screaming and saying, are you kidding?

1930.347 - 1951.72 Scott Adams

We just proved that you tried to overthrow the government to the United States or influence an election, which would be sort of the same thing. And we have the names and we've got the exact details, and that's not going to be anything. That's what I predict.

1952.18 - 1991.435 Scott Adams

I predict there will be some really spicy things that come out of this, but that the mainstream news will talk about it once, and then they'll act like it doesn't matter. So unless there's some kind of prosecution, it will just sort of disappear. Well, Steve Bannon on his War Room show had author of Putin's playbook, Rebecca Koffler. And she says that we're already in a kinetic war with Russia.

1992.115 - 2023.147 Scott Adams

Because Russia would know that that very clever drone attack that Ukraine apparently pulled off to destroy a bunch of Russian bombers, that there's no way that they could have done that without direct U.S. support. At the very least, our satellite images. but probably more than that. And I thought to myself, oh, I'm an idiot. Not once.

Chapter 6: How are lithium ion batteries being revitalized?

2396.191 - 2414.2 Scott Adams

What do I mean by that? He says, we don't have to provoke World War III over Taiwan. That's a long, complicated issue, but this would be the stupidest thing for my grandchildren to die for. We have three agreements with China that say we're gonna stay out of that, and we should.

0

2415.721 - 2443.654 Scott Adams

And I have to say, the idea of dying because of something about Taiwan, that does seem like a really bad reason for an American to die. Now, on the other hand, Taiwan is an ally and we must have made some assurances that we would be helpful. But I wonder to what extent just giving them weapons would be enough.

0

2445.455 - 2470.068 Scott Adams

It seems to me that if you know in the long run, there's no possible way that Taiwan will remain independent forever. It's not like a thousand years from now. If you came back, Taiwan would be independent. One way or the other, the big country is going to overwhelm the little country that's right next to them.

0

2471.168 - 2503.62 Scott Adams

So it doesn't seem to me that dying over something that's going to happen anyway, whether you love it or hate it, it's going to happen anyway. He makes a good point. So probably we'll have to pretend that we're doing something useful. while letting China have its way, is my guess. How many of you, show me in the comments, have lost a connection to a family member?

0

2504.1 - 2539.203 Scott Adams

It could be your own child, could be your parents, because of politics. I just wonder how universal this is. Because I was reading a thread on X of people who were talking about losing family members that hadn't talked to them since the election. How many of you were in that category? Oh, my God. I'm seeing a string of yeses go by in the comments. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah. Incredible.

2540.649 - 2572.663 Scott Adams

That is so disturbingly dangerous for this country. Wow. So I was thinking to myself, how do you deprogram those people? And the answer is you probably can't because they've chosen to have no contact with you. But if you could, I would start with the fine people hoax. And I would also start, I would set it up this way.

2573.804 - 2591.35 Scott Adams

I'd say, have you ever found out something that just totally rocked your world because you thought it was one way, but then you found out you'd been fooled and it was another way? Such as, let's say, the nutrition pyramid, the food pyramid.

2592.902 - 2623.121 Scott Adams

Now, if you can get your family member to admit that they had ever experienced believing something was completely true and then learning it wasn't, say, can I show you another one? Just to blow your mind. It won't change your view on politics. But I want you to see how easily you could be led to believe something that isn't true. And then you do the fine people hoax.

2623.861 - 2653.546 Scott Adams

But make sure you found the American Debunk website, because it'll show you the full video to prove what's going on. But then, a lot of these people think that the real problem was the January 6th insurrection. And I'm going to tell you the worst argument you can make if you're trying to talk somebody out of believing it was an insurrection. All right?

Chapter 7: What are the implications of recent anti-Semitic attacks?

2785.026 - 2813.027 Scott Adams

And then point out that nobody's ever done a TV show or even a podcast in which the protesters are brought in and they ask the following question. Why were you protesting? What were you trying to accomplish? Now, I believe the answer would be, in every case, it looked to us like the election was stolen.

0

2814.149 - 2841.622 Scott Adams

So we were trying to slow things down to see if we could check it so that we could save the republic. Now, you may have just said to yourself, Scott, you just said don't use the argument that the election was stolen. Here's the tough part. I didn't. What I said was that the protesters might believe that based on the fact that it broke pattern.

0

2842.643 - 2872.894 Scott Adams

So it broke pattern in terms of those last minute votes for Biden and the fact that there were so many of them. And it's off historical pattern. It broke pattern in the bellwether counties or precincts. So it broke pattern. Now that is not proof that anything was stolen. The only thing you need to know is that the protesters believed it didn't look like a credible election.

0

2873.934 - 2899.704 Scott Adams

You don't have to argue whether it was actually stolen. If you argue whether it was actually stolen, that's the end of the argument, because a Democrat will be like, all right, go away, go away. There's no evidence it was stolen. I'm not going to listen to the rest of it. But if you can get them to understand that that it's not about what you or they think, it's about what the protesters thought.

0

2900.725 - 2930.403 Scott Adams

So if the protesters thought it was a perfectly fair election and they were trying to delay it or stop it, it was an insurrection. That's what I'd call it, right? If they believed that the election was fair and they did what they did anyway, trying to delay the certification, Well, that's a little bit insurrection-y. You know, not really effective because they didn't have any chance of succeeding.

2931.344 - 2955.154 Scott Adams

But if they believed, right or wrong, and this is important, right or wrong, if they believed that the election did not look credible... then having a delay to make sure it was credible would be saving the Republic. It would not be an insurrection at all. So,

2956.263 - 2993.749 Scott Adams

That might be a little too complicated, but that would be the only clean path to convincing somebody who was willing to listen that that was a hoax. It was no insurrection. It was patriots trying to make sure that we got the right result. All right. So the other day I wittily pointed out that Democrats only did two things wrong in the last several years.

2994.49 - 3022.359 Scott Adams

The two things they did wrong were all of their candidates and all their policies. Now, of course, I was saying that for humorous intent. But then other people said, but what about their messaging? Now, I think that candidate and policies covers messaging too, but just to put a little light on that, here's the comparison in messaging.

3024.02 - 3065.599 Scott Adams

Where Bernie and AOC were saying things like we have to stop the oligarchs, Trump was saying we're going to enter the golden age. Which one of those is better messaging? Stop the oligarchs or come with us, we're going to enter the golden age. Those are not close. That is the worst messaging ever. How about this one? Equity, we want to have equity or we want common sense. Which one's stronger?
