What challenges does Scott Adams face with the podcast interface?
It took me a few minutes to find the cursor. I literally couldn't find the cursor to go live. I was complaining before the show when I was talking to the locals people separately. and private load. I was complaining about somebody designing a black interface, which is what the Rumble Studio is. It's like a black interface. The background is mostly black. And the cursor is black. So the whole time I'm like, where's that freaking cursor? Where's that freaking cursor? It's time for my show. I need a cursor. So if you're listening, rumble. People with old eyes cannot tell the difference between the cursor color and the background color, which makes the interface really hard to use if you're over a certain age.
I think it's age. I don't know what else it would be. All right. Comments are working. We've got everything now. 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 of lifting this situation to the highest elevation, something that humans can't even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, well, if you want that, all you need for that is a copper mug or a glass of tanker chalice or a steiner canteen jug or a flask. a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. Join me now for the unparalleled pleasure of dopamine here today. The thing that makes everything better is called the simultaneous sip and happens now.
Go. Ah, very good. Very good. Well, I don't know about you, but all morning I've been sitting here thinking, what is today's date? If only I had some kind of a calendar device that I could keep on my desk at all times and entertain me and also tell me valuable information about what today is. It's called the Dilbert Calendar. It's available now only on Amazon. You got to be in America. I'm sorry if you're in Kazakhstan, you cannot buy this. You'd want it. Oh, man, you'd want it, but you can't buy it. No, you cannot go to Amazon Kazakhstan and buy this. Only America. It's made in America, too, and has a comic on both sides this year. The Dilbert Reborn, the spicy ones are on the back, so you don't alarm your coworkers.
And then also... We're going to start out, as tradition requires, with a reframe from my book, Reframe Your Brain, the best, most important book in your whole life. Here's one of the best reframes for me. I just love this one. All right. The usual frame is that whatever you think of as your ego is you. You are not your ego. Because if you're protecting your ego, you're actually protecting your enemy. Your ego is your enemy. Elon Musk said this recently in a podcast. He basically said ego is the enemy. Your ego is the enemy. If you won't do a thing because you think, oh, that's beneath me, but it needs to get done, well, that's not a good strategy. So if you can learn to eliminate your ego, you can hire people who are better at a job than you are.
Have you ever worked with somebody who refused to hire somebody who was smarter than them? I have. I've worked with somebody who wouldn't hire somebody who was smarter than they were. How do you think that worked out?
What is the significance of the Dilbert Calendar mentioned?
I mean, just take a guess. How did that work out? Yeah, exactly like you think. So get rid of your ego first, whatever that takes. I recommend things like the Dale Carnegie course or anything that gets you in an embarrassing situation. So embarrassment is not something you should avoid. It's something you should practice. I learned that from Dale Carnegie. Let me say that again because that's the key point. You ready? Your ego is something you should look to destroy. And you should look to embarrass yourself as often as possible because that's how you build that superpower. The more you embarrass yourself, the more you get used to it until you realize, whoa, I didn't. I didn't die any of those times. All right.
After the show today, Owen Gregorian will be hosting his after party on Spaces. All you need to do to find that is go to Owen Gregorian. Just do a search on his name and you'll see the link.
