Chapter 1: What personal experience does Scott share at the beginning?
Did you miss me? Today's going to be the quiet talking version. I'm going to be quiet, but extra awesome today. It's going to be full ASMR. Let's see. Let me get your comments up here. And then we've got a show for you. So come on in. There we go. Well, did you miss me at all? So I was in the hospital for a couple of days. I'm trying to work on my respiratory situation.
So I'm going to be soft talking so I don't wear my cell phone, okay? So it's a little extra ASMR today. It will seem like low energy, but really it's strategic. You ready for this? Good morning, everybody, and welcome to the highlight of human civilization. It's called Coffee with Scott Adams. Today will be the whisper version, the ASMR version.
And if you'd like to take your experience up to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny, shiny human brains, all you need for that is a cup or mug or a glass of tanker Chelsea Stein, A canteen jug or 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. And it happens. That's right. Now. Pretty good stuff. Well, today is mostly about hanging out with you people. I do have some things to talk about. Slow news day. Well, not as slow as usual for a Black Friday, which seems racist, but as far as I know, it's not. All right. Who wants to talk about the news? Anybody?
Yeah, let's talk about the news. All right. So I'll try to give you as much energy as I can. But I can't promise a lot today. Today we're just going to enjoy the fact that we're all here together. And I got a lot of love yesterday. And I'm happy to return it. So let me tell you, I love you all. my audience, including the beloveds who are a little bit extra special. But you're all awesome.
All right, well, I saw a post by Mario Noffel, who is a great person to follow. He has lots of good stuff on Tesla. And apparently Tesla's full self-driving has reached a new level of awesomeness. Getting closer and closer, one interesting thing is that Elon thanked Waymo for going first and getting approvals and stuff.
probably making it easier for Tesla to get approved for its full self-driving. But the point that Mario was making is kind of interesting, is that once you can, if you can turn your car into a self-driving car, imagine having a, one hour commute that you could do whatever you wanted. You could get work done, you could sip your coffee, but you wouldn't have to do any effort.
It just takes you to work and then takes you home. Well, one of the things it would do is it would make it easier to live an hour away from work. So it could have an impact on real estate prices. So people who live an hour from work suddenly are going to be like, hey, this is totally practical.
I love an hour of no kids and no responsibility, hiding away in your self-driving car for an hour each way. Sounds pretty good. I have to admit, since the day I walked out of my cubicle existence, I thought I would never go back. But when I think about an hour each way in a self-driving car where nobody could bother me, and I could just hang out and do what I want, well, I don't know.

Chapter 2: How has Tesla's Full Self-Driving technology evolved recently?
And I think Mike, I don't want to, I hate to mischaracterize him, but I think he would be on the side of not completely embracing the Emerald Robinson version of events. I didn't see him debunk it, but nor did I see him fully embracing it. If he had, that would have added a lot to the credibility, because he knows the context of things in ways we don't.
Anyway, so part of the theory is that the reason No, not S-I-R-I. Theory. T-H-E-O-R-Y. I've got to talk to my phone for a minute. My phone thought I was talking to it. Shh, phone. Quiet down. All right. So part of the theory is that the reason that the bad people got away with it is that they learned to shave votes only from the deep red pro-Trump districts. And the idea is
that nobody would suspect if they did all the cheating in the red areas because the red areas are Republican-controlled, and you wouldn't expect those to be the places that there would be cheating against Trump. And the theory is that if it's a Trump 70% area, that if they just shave it back to, say, 68%, nobody would notice. because it would still be a landslide for Trump in a Trump area.
So that would look legit. It would just look, oh, it was off by 2% from what we expected. But you can't expect that accurately. So that makes sense. I don't think there's proof of that, but it makes sense in the how would you cheat. If you did cheat, how would you do it? So it makes sense that way, but I don't think there's evidence of that. Let's see what else. I've been saying for a while,
that the best evidence that the electronic voting machines are not legit, without stating who might be behind any bad behavior, is that they're not cheaper, they're not easier, and they're not more secure than the alternative, which is paper ballots. So why do they even exist? I'm leaning toward the idea that they do exist for the purpose of rigging elections in other countries.
But that would still raise the question, who's doing the rigging? Is it possible that the CIA was working with Maduro and China? I don't know how all that makes sense. Anyway, so let's see what else Grok said about it. Yeah, so the theory that the CIA allegedly allowed China to insert spyware because they were okay with it, does that really track?
Does it make sense to you that there would be at least, I don't know, two or three entities that all had some access to be able to rig the vote? I don't know. So I'm going to say this about that. First of all, Grok is really a spoiler. This won't be the first thing I tell you that it kind of debunked. Now, debunk is a strong word, and it does not mean disproven. So just get that part straight.
Grok did not disprove the theory. He simply did not find it compelling, I guess. But is that evidence? Is anybody convinced by Grok's opinion? Well, one of the things that Grok did was it mocked me. And actually, it used me as an example in its response. It said it sounded more like a Scott Adams conspiracy theory. And I said, why did you bring me into it? And that was the funny part.
Grok knows who I am. He knows who I am, but it also used me as an example to make his point. Anyway, I got a little personal there. All right, so I also tested Grok against the Mike Benz hypothesis, I'll call it that, that it's not a coincidence that there are these big immigration waves to America. that follow some kind of CIA color revolution in another country.

Chapter 3: What implications does reverse migration have on immigration policy?
I'm going to say on this one, the only thing I think is proven is that there's more than one Democrat who thinks... Trump might be breaking the law sometime soon. So if there is a connection to some shadowy external source, I don't think that's quite proven yet. Could be, though. Could be. All right. Next story.
I saw in the Independent, Hanna Aharova is writing that Russian drones are targeting civilians and turning one Ukrainian city into what they call the human safari. So apparently Kursan, allegedly, As you know, I think hundreds of Russian drones a day are hunting for civilians that just happen to go outdoors. Does that sound real to you?
Keep in mind that all reports from a war zone are a little, you know, a little sketchy. Do you believe that one? Do you believe that in Kherson there are hundreds of attacks on civilians? And if they are, let's say it was true. Why would Russia do that? Why would it use drones to attack civilians? I will sip from my awesome thing while you think about that.
Would they be doing it if it's happening at all? Are they trying to depopulate the city? Are they trying to get people to move? So for what? So it would be easier to take over the city? One theory is that they were just practicing and that they just use it for target practice to train the drone operators. Do you think they're doing it for target practice? Just to train the drone people?
That doesn't seem like good use of training. Are they trying to demoralize the city? Is it revenge? Some people say it's revenge for something the Ukrainians did. That doesn't make sense. Or is it propaganda and it's not actually happening? Or is it happening but not at the level that's being reported? I would say I'm not quite willing to believe that it's even happening.
I would say it's too, yeah, it's too fog of war. It's too much exactly like something somebody would lie about in a war. Oh, you're monsters. You're killing our civilians. We would never do that. So I'm going to say I don't believe that story. Then I tried to use Grok to understand how likely is it that Ukraine and Russia would find an acceptable peace.
And I think the answer is there's not really any way. I don't think there is a way. So I started with some context. I've been hearing forever that Ukraine could have made peace back in 2022. And I guess the offer was on the table that Russia would keep Crimea.
And the Donbass has a bunch of Russian national, a bunch of Russian ethnic people would have some kind of special rule and that Ukraine would agree to never join NATO. And the theory is, that Russia would have taken that offer. But it looked like Zelensky may have been the one who, let's see if I have this right.
Oh, so it looks like there was a way to make peace, but probably that's an exaggeration. I suspect they were not ever close to peace, but it might be true that the only way they could make peace is something that looked like giving up a lot. So you see how hard it is for me to even explain this. I'm doing a terrible job. So according to Grok, I'll just tell you what Grok says.
