What are the highlights of election day and its significance?
Good to see all of you. Oh, darn it. My computer decided that now's the time it's gonna ask me for a password. Why now? All right, come on in here. This is the garage man cave.
And if I can get my computer, my second computer to come on, then I will be able to see you.
A little refresh there and see all of your comments.
Everybody good today? Feeling good? Come on in.
Comments. There we go. There's your comments. I've already printed my notes because I'm a prepared guy.
Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlights of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. You've never had a better time. But... If you'd like to experience an elevation of your mood that your tiny, shiny brain can't even imagine, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass, a tanker, a chalice, a stein, a canteen, a jugger flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called the simultaneous sip. It happens now. Go. You're out of coffee? Emergency. Emergency. Well, I know you'd like to start the day with a refrain from my book, Reframe Your Brain.
The most important book in the United States, possibly the world. All right, let's see. We're all the way up to the mental health reframes from the book. I'll do at least one a day if I remember. We did a bunch of them yesterday. But let me get to the one I haven't got to yet. This one. Yeah. How about this one? The usual frame. If somebody insults you, you think to yourself, ah, that insult is damaging my brain. That insult hurts me. It's causing me damage, right? We act like an insult hurts us. Well, it does, actually. You know, anything that you perceive becomes a part of your memory, part of your brain. So, yeah, somebody insults you, it might hang around and cause problems. So the old way is that an insult is damaging to your mental health.
Here's a reframe that you might take advantage of. The reframe is that an insult is a confession from the other person.
How does Trump address his low economic ratings?
An insult is a confession that your accuser can't refute your opinion or has personal problems of some sort. Typically, when somebody's criticizing you, they're not the best people And they're not in the best place in life. And once you realize, wait a minute, these are not the best people. And they're not having a great life. If the thing that was the best thing they could do today was criticize me, that's not very good. I feel sorry for my accuser. Anyway, so an insult is a confession. that they don't have a good argument. Do you know what people do when they have a good argument? I say this all the time, but the more often you hear it, the better. When people have a good argument, you know what they do?
They use it. They use a good argument. When people don't have an argument, what do they do? They call you a communist. Or they call you a fascist or something. No, an insult is just a confession. So once you see it that way, the insults don't bother you anymore. Anyway. How about some science? There's a new study that says helping other people can slow your cognitive decline by up to 20%. University of Texas said awesome. Now, how many of you knew that? This... refers to helping or volunteering outside the home. I don't know why they said outside the home. It seems like helping anywhere would be good. But does that make sense to you? That if you become a helpful person, that it would be good for your own brain?
Here's why that makes sense to me. I have to admit, I didn't know that. So if you'd asked me, I would say, it feels reasonable to expect that, but I didn't know it. And the reason I would have expected it is you've heard me talk about how people are healthiest when they're pursuing whatever is closest to their biological evolutionary reality. So I believe that people stay healthier. That's just a hypothesis, but I think it's true. That if the closer you are to the mating process, the single most important thing that a human can do, because mating is sort of, it's organized our entire evolutionary path from a million years ago.
