Chapter 1: What new setup is being used for this podcast episode?
Come on in here. We're doing a new kind of setup today, so if there are any technical problems, you'll let me know. So here's what we're doing this morning. I'm using my iPhone as my microphone, which should actually work really well because the iPhone has a very good microphone. But I'm coming to you from my from my lazy boy chair in my man cave. Some would call it a garage.
I call it a man cave. And we're going to get going here right now. Well, 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 elevating your experience today to levels that no one can even understand with their tiny, shiny Human brains. All you need for that is, I have to read it off my mug.
All you need for that is a cup or a mug or a glass. I should have put some light on this. It would have been much better. A tanker, chalice, or a stein. A canteen jug or flask. A vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And...
And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, is Sculpt the Simultaneous Step. It happens now.
Go.
Delicious. Yes, I'm working without a printer. Put the phone on my chest. I believe I will. Good idea. So I found a second use for the Dilbert calendar. Turns out it's exactly the right width to put on my crotch to elevate my laptop to the right height. That's right. So if you have a problem with your crotch being too low for your laptop, the Dilbert calendar will fix that. It will.
I don't want to say happy Pearl Harbor Day. So I guess I would say thank you for your service to all the service people who have served.
past and present and is there anything else we need to say about Pearl Harbor Pearl Harbor was on my list of things that I thought well I think it's probably a conspiracy theory the idea that you know the United States or somebody in the United States knew that the attack was coming how many of you believe that we knew the attack was coming what do you think I don't know.
I feel like maybe, yet the one thing that I'm sure of is that there's not a single thing in history that is exactly the way the history books tell us. I don't think any of it is real. Now, it might be real-ish and it might be directionally true and parts of it might be true, but I just don't really believe any of the stories we're told about history. Not completely. Not completely.

Chapter 2: How does the discussion address the impact of microplastics?
Yeah, true. True. In other news, I completed yesterday the second phase of my BioShield shots. So BioShield, that's Dr. Sun Shun's, I don't know what I'd call it, protocol or what would be the right word? But it's a series of four shots. You get two and then you wait a little while and you get the other two. And what it does is it boosts your natural immunity. So against cancer, obviously.
And, uh, so I've now completed that. Now, if it works, it doesn't, you know, it doesn't destroy tumors. I don't think it does that. Although maybe, I don't know, maybe for some people, but it's more about, uh, making sure it doesn't come back. If you find anything that works, I'm probably saying that wrong, but anything that boost your, uh, Natural immunity, probably a good thing.
So my natural immunity is getting boosted even as we talk. So we'll see. I will be your real life example of how that goes. I'm still on the flu-victo path as well because those two paths do not interfere. They're actually complementary.
One of them, Pluvicto, will try to destroy the tumors, and then the BioShield will just make sure that your natural immunity does the best they can of keeping you cancer-free. So neither of them are cures, but they could push you back in a meaningful way. Well, let's talk about the news. I have to warn you that the news is boring as hell today. Oh, my God, the news is boring.
I guess it's because it's... too close to Christmas or something. But there is nothing going on. There's nothing going on. We'll talk about it anyway, because that's what we do. So I guess Dell Computer has warned its customers that one of its components, the DRAMs, are going to go up in price. And that's probably because the AI data centers are using a lot of those chips.
And so there's more competition and therefore the price is going up. So it might go up 15 to 20%. So I'll try to give you updates on what part of the economy is experiencing inflation, but anything that an AI data center wants to use is probably going to get more expensive because the competition for those will be insane. Um,
But at least, you know, if you're just a regular consumer, you don't buy too many laptops. I mean, you might get one every several years. So it won't worry you too much. It's not like gas or food. Speaking of food, according to Newsmax, Trump is ordering the DOJ and the FTC to probe food price fixings.
So there's a suspicion that especially the foreign food companies might be colluding with each other to keep prices high. Do you think they are? Well, probably. Probably. As I tell you almost every time that I come on here, anything that's possible to be corrupt eventually will be. It just has to be possible. And there has to be a lot of money involved.
If there's a lot of money involved and a lot of people involved, and that would explain the food industry, then sooner or later it will be completely corrupt. So I'm guessing we're already there and that there will be some chilling surprises when they look into it. Well, are you worried about microplastics? How many of you think that's real?

Chapter 3: What conspiracy theories are mentioned regarding Pearl Harbor?
And they're not fully convinced that prices will go up that much. Well, I'm kind of on the same side as the energy traders, meaning that I don't believe that if you looked at a 20-year future period, I don't believe that we would get the high prices that pretty much everybody smart says we're going to get because there would be such a gigantic economic benefit
for either figuring out how to do AI cheaper or how to build a data center cheaper or how to produce energy cheaper because the upside potential of getting any of those things to work is trillions of dollars. So when you have trillions on the line and it's more of an engineering problem, you probably don't have to invent some new technology. It's probably more of an engineering thing.
I've got a feeling that we will figure out how to make AI and energy way more accessible. Might be 10 years from now, but I think that's a guarantee. Well, there's a story I don't believe, but it's in the news, that some Reddit user claims that he was using a Google AI and the AI deleted his entire hard drive. And then begged for forgiveness after it was done. Do you believe that?
How many of you believe that? First of all, it's coming from Reddit. I believe there's only one source and it's a little bit too on the nose, isn't it? It would be sort of the exact thing that you'd be worried about if you used an AI agent. Oh no, it would go rogue. It's going to delete all my stuff. Yeah. I'm going to say I don't believe it. It's possible. It's definitely possible.
But I'm going to say no. If I had to put a bet on it, I'd bet no. What do you think? Do you think the Reddit users are credible? I don't believe it at all. Well, Tim Pool's home. I think he has more than one home, so I don't know which state this one is in. But his home was shot at by a gunman who approached the property in some kind of vehicle and shot into it. My God.
You know, after all the times he's been swatted to see that somebody drove up to his house and actually put a bullet into it. Good Lord. But the Daily Mail was writing about this and they call him a right wing commentator. Is that accurate? Would you call Tim Pool a right-wing commentator? That doesn't sound right, does it?
Now, I do understand that a lot of his opinions would be compatible with a lot of people on the right, but that's not exactly how he defines himself, right? Isn't he more independent? Yeah. So that doesn't seem fair at all. Partly, I guess, this would just be a compliment, so I'll give Tim a compliment
that if you can't tell exactly what his label is, that's sort of where you want to be if you're in his job. You want to be unlabelable so that people don't know what you're going to do. They trust that you could have an opinion that might match one side today and the other side tomorrow. That would be the place to be. So I just don't see right wing as the right label.
I'd love to see what he says about it. But I was also reading up, because it was just context to the story, just how wonderfully successful he's been, you know, building his little empire. He's got several studios working for him, and they say his revenue from his many operations is really impressive. So good for you, Tim Pool.

Chapter 4: How does the episode discuss the implications of AI on the economy?
Really? Have you ever met somebody from Britain? Have you ever met anybody from Australia? And you're telling me that we use the F word more than they do. All right. I'm going to question your data there. Because if you've never spent any time with anybody from either of those countries, well, maybe you'd believe that. But I don't know.
Anyway, this continues to amuse me that people are still driving by Tim Walz's house in Minnesota and yelling the R word, retard. And his daughter just did a little video. She's fuming about it online. She doesn't like it. And I feel like what happened was that somehow it's turned into a tourist event.
Now, imagine, you know, this wouldn't make sense for me in my current situation because I'm a public figure.
But you tell me, true or false, if you were in Minnesota for, let's say you didn't live there, but you were there for visiting or whatever, and you knew that you were a short drive away from Tim Walsh's house, and you knew that people were driving by and yelling retard, are you telling me you wouldn't want to do it? You wouldn't want to just get in on the fun. Come on. You would.
You would think it was funny. You might not do it, but you would definitely think it's funny and you would definitely consider it. So I think what's happened is not just that people are doing it, but now it's sort of becoming a thing. It's sort of like the thing you say when you see a certain thing. So I feel like for the rest of time,
even after Tim Walz has left the job, that people will still drive by that house, roll down their windows, and yell the R word as loud as they can, laugh like hyenas, and then drive home and feel like they had a good time. So that's going to happen. But I guess part of the question is whether it's fair that Trump is bullying Poor Tim Walz.
But I was reminded that apparently Tim Walz said in May at a keynote speech at the South Carolina Democratic Party Convention, he said they urged Democrats to, quote, be a little meaner, talking about Trump, and more fierce in pushing back against Trump and Republicans. And apparently Walz used a schoolyard analogy. This is according to Grok.
Um, from his experience as a teacher, he said, uh, when it's a child, you talk to him and you tell him why bullying is wrong. But when it's an adult like Donald Trump, you bully the shit out of him back. So Tim waltz apparently has in public encouraged Democrats to bully Trump by saying things that would be hurtful. So do you feel bad that people are driving by his house and yelling retard?
No, you don't feel bad about that. Talk about inviting it. Oh my God. Nobody, nobody ever invited it harder than he did. So, um, I don't have an opinion whether people should do it or not, but I think it's funny that it might become a forever thing. It could be a hundred years from now. People will still drive by that house and yell retard.

Chapter 5: What insights are shared about Trump's influence on food pricing?
Because when we see the size of, let's say, a new battery factory... it just looks massively large. Anything that Elon Musk was planning to do, be it in space or on the ground, massively large. And all the AI data centers, they're not normal. They are massively large. So I think we've just entered this massively large construction era. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it's impressive.
I did worry that humans had lost the ability to do big things. But apparently not. Anyway, as you know, the FIFA, F-I-F-A, the big international soccer, but they would call it football, organization, they came up with, they invented a peace medal and awarded it to Trump. Sort of like the Nobel Prize Peace Prize, except it would be the FIFA Peace Prize. Now, what do you think Trump did?
He accepted it graciously and reminded us how many wars he stopped, et cetera, as he likes to do. And then the Democrats in this country decided that it was embarrassing and humiliating that other countries couldn't manipulate our president so easily by just offering him childlike Um, rewards to which I say, is that treating him like a child? Is that how you see it?
Because the way I see it is that people understand that giving him what he wants is a good strategy. That's the president I want. I want the president where, when somebody says, oh my God, we're going to meet with the president, but what does he want? We got to give him what he wants. I want them all thinking like that.
And if they decided that what he wants is to be recognized for creating peace more than any president ever has, what's wrong with that? What's wrong with that? I would want that. Now, I don't see why it makes sense that there's a FIFA peace medal. It doesn't really make any sense. But every time somebody reminds the world that he is worthy of a peace prize, I don't mind that.
That feels like that's good for him. Good for him, good for me, good for the world. It makes him probably more effective the next time he tries to end a war. Because people just think, oh, he's the guy who ends wars. And you just sort of automatically start acting like it's just a done deal. Yeah, he's that guy. He ends wars. So I guess he'll end this one too.
So no, I have no problem with people making up brand new peace prizes and giving it to my president. Trump has apparently directed RFK Jr. to review the childhood vaccine schedule and maybe revise it to get it more in line, potentially. They haven't done the analysis yet, so they don't know what changes they might make, if any. But the thinking is that Europe does fewer shots
And we might take a look at that and see if they're getting a better result or a worse result with their fewer shots, which is smart. So I like everything about that. We don't know where it's going to end up. Bill Gates was at some event, according to Disclosed TV. And he said that African farmers will soon have AI advisors, you know, just on their phone. AI will advise them.
and better seeds and animal genetics, and that they will become, with all those things, a significant net food exporter. So Africa might go from that starving continent to, hello, look at all the food we can create. And that would be AI driven, but better seeds and animal genetics too. Do you believe that? I don't know. I did a little grokking. I used grok to ask some questions.
